Chapter 940 A mess
"Lord, we have the latest military information!"
Tian Chou hurried over with a few communication talismans and reported, "We sent several teams of elite scouts to report back. Just a few months later, not only Gaoliu in the north of Daijun, but also Shenhe and other places fell into the hands of the barbarians.
, even Pingyi, Yangyuan, Sangqian, Dangcheng and other places have fallen!"
"The entire central and northern part of Dai County has become a paradise for the barbarians. No humans or animals are left behind wherever they go! They have been completely looted!"
"Wang Ze, the governor of Daijun, led the border troops to fight with the Hu people several times, but they were completely defeated at the first touch and had no power to resist at all."
Tian Chou's face was solemn and he said in a deep voice, "Now, Wang Ze leads the remaining 600,000 border troops in Dai County and retreats in two groups to Dai County and Pingshu County."
"Tan Shihuai came here with bad intentions this time, and even broke the tacit agreement between the Hu people and the wealthy families, and destroyed most of the castles of the wealthy families in the central and northern parts of Dai County, sweeping away all the people, livestock, and food and grass.
!”
"Tan Shihuai personally led an army of five million to attack Yanmen County to the west and attack Banshi, Juyang, and Wangtao counties!"
"They deliberately avoided Yanmen Pass and the Wuzhou area. They obviously received detailed military information and knew that we were at odds with Ding Yuan, so they adopted corresponding tactics to avoid the most important issues."
"There must be Tan Shihuai's traitor in Bingzhou Governor's Mansion!"
"Otherwise, how could he obtain such internal secret military information?"
"Moreover, Ding Yuan has a cavalry composed of chaotic barbarians, numbering no less than 100,000!"
"On this point, Liu Yu, the governor of Yuzhou, is the same. He treats the Hu people better than he treats the frontier soldiers, and he also recruits a group of Hu cavalry."
"The governors of these two states are simply scum of the Han people. They are willing to be the lord's licking dogs like you said. They are extremely shameless!"
"The Hu people's attack was so smooth. They attacked the city with cavalry and were able to carry out the southward movement so quickly. Ninety-nine percent of it was the Hu people who were taken in by Ding Yuan and Liu Yu who sent information to Tan Shihuai.
Sincerely!"
Tian Chou became angrier as he talked, and said with a livid face, "The current situation in Shanggu County in Youzhou is similar to that of Dai County in Bingzhou."
"After the Xianbei army in the central region successfully broke through the Guangning Pass Fortress, it was also divided into eight parts and swept across Shanggu County. Now it has traveled nearly 100,000 miles south and has even captured Weilao and Juyang. The soldiers surrounded Shanggu County.
!”
"Although there are fewer towns in Shanggu County, not half as many as in Dai County, there are more castles owned by aristocratic families, large and small, than in Dai County, and most of them are in endless plains, which is extremely convenient for the barbarians to fight."
"Now the northern, central and western parts of Shanggu County have all fallen into the hands of the barbarians. Most of the castles of aristocratic families have been conquered by the barbarians, and Shanggu County has almost been looted and turned into a wasteland!"
"Liu Yu did not dare to send a large army to fight the Hu people. From the beginning, he deployed heavy troops and hoarded them in Yuyang County, Guangyang State and Zhuoxian County, completely abandoning Shanggu County."
"He just wants to stop the spread of the Hu people to other counties in Youzhou, so that he can use the people, animals, grain and grass from Shanggu County to feed the Hu people."
Tian Chou then picked up another talisman-level communication talisman and said to Wang Qiang, "However, it is not without good news."
"After invading Liaodong County, the eight million army of Xianbei in the east was strongly blocked by the soldiers led by the Cavalry Commander Gongsun Zan!"
"Gongsun Zan currently has one million elite soldiers. Although there are only 400,000 cavalry, more than half of his soldiers are cultivators and have very strong combat effectiveness. They intercepted the Hu army at the border of Liaodong County and launched a continuous battle. Both sides had their own unique abilities.
Win or lose.”
"Our scouts said that the Xianbei army in the east has been attacking for a long time without any results, and there are already signs of retreating to join the Xianbei in the center."
"If the scout's estimate is true, Yuyang County and Youbeiping in the northwest of Youzhou will be in danger!"
"Because Gongsun Zan is at odds with Liu Yu, he probably won't be allowed to lead his troops westward. How can the frontier soldiers in these two counties stop the eight million elite army of Xianbei in the east?"
"This time the elite troops from Xianbei in the east are all out. It is impossible for them to return to the northern grasslands without harvesting anything."
To be honest, the current military situation gives Tian Chou a headache. It is really too bad.
A good situation, because this guy Ding Yuan avenged his personal revenge and restricted Lu Bu's army from advancing eastward, which turned the situation into the mess it is now.
If Ding Yuan had agreed to send troops to rescue Daijun a few months ago, there is a 99% chance that the Xianbei army in the west would have been blocked in front of several important passes by his own side and would not have been able to advance.
If the armies led by Xianbei and Tanshihuai in the west do not move smoothly, the impact on the overall situation will be huge.
The Xianbei army in the central part of Shanggu County did not dare to go south so unscrupulously. It might still be circling in the north of Shanggu County, and the losses caused would undoubtedly be reduced too much.
"Ding Yuan and Liu Yu really deserve to be cut to pieces!"
"Such barbarian lickers, we will have to deal with them in the future!"
After hearing the latest military intelligence report, Wang Qiang looked extremely ugly and said through gritted teeth.
Today, almost all of Dai County and Shanggu County have fallen. The Hu people have even crossed Dai County and invaded the southeastern part of Yanmen County. God knows how many people on the border have suffered misfortune?
Although most of the border residents will take refuge in the nearby mountains, most of the things in their homes cannot be taken away. Once the barbarians retreat, what will they do for a living this year?
By then, there will inevitably be refugees everywhere in these two counties.
As for the huge losses suffered by those big and small aristocratic families, although they deserve it, which one of them does not have a large number of tenants?
This time the Hu people marched south to clear grass and valleys, and the tenants suffered the greatest losses.
The barbarians were barbaric by nature, so they would inevitably kill all the old and weak and plunder all the young and strong.
If you don't have the ability, that's it. The most you can do is complain and curse a few words.
However, he clearly had the ability to intercept the barbarians, but he was limited by the court and Ding Yuan. He had nowhere to use his strength, and he was extremely frustrated.
It's just that our own power is in the stage of rapid development, and this momentum must not be interrupted.
Once he was declared a traitor by the imperial court and became mortal enemies with the Hu people, there was a possibility that he would be attacked from both sides by the Han court and the Hu people in the north.
At that time, the situation will become a mess, and the Han people in Kyushu will also turn their backs on their own side, which will usher in a disaster!
Therefore, although Wang Qiang was anxious, he still did not dare to act rashly.
Ding Yuan publicized to the outside world that Lu Bu should strictly guard the defense zone along the Yanmen Pass, which was equivalent to limiting his own side to the Yanmen Pass front line.
Fortunately, Wang Qiang has a backup plan, which is: you fight yours, and I'll fight mine.
Now that all the preparatory work has basically been completed, it is time to activate the backup plan to let the Xianbei people's backyard catch fire and make a huge fortune by the way.
Now all the soldiers under his command have experienced the genocidal war with the Southern Huns in the past two years, and they are extremely skilled in the pleasant things of hunting grass and valleys.
Once the tiger comes out of the cage, it is guaranteed to be much more professional and efficient than those barbarians.
That was really the strategy of the Three Lights, which completely plundered all the barbarian tribes, large and small, that the army encountered and turned them into a white land.
Chapter completed!
