A month later, Liu Zhang, who had been waiting for a long time in Bodao, finally received the good news from Xun You.
"Hahaha, you are worthy of Gongda! He asked for such a large amount of compensation!"
Liu Zhang was so happy, which also aroused the curiosity of Liu Ye and others.
"How much flesh did Liu Biao cut off this time to make the lord so excited?"
Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Tai Shi Ci also looked at Liu Zhang, with joy shining in their eyes.
"Two million stones of food and grass, fifty million in money, one hundred warships, and two hundred craftsmen, all with their families!"
"Gongda wanted far more than this, but Jingzhou couldn't afford it, so he finally took out 10,000 pairs of armored weapons!"
All this far exceeded Liu Zhang's expectations. He really didn't expect that Liu Biao would be so willing.
"My lord, Jingzhou gave us these supplies, so we will no longer be able to make progress within a few years!"
Through his understanding of Liu Zhang's power, Liu Ye was able to roughly guess how deep the world's power was.
Just the food, grass and money alone are enough to kill most of Jingzhou!
Although two million stones and fifty million won't wipe out Jingzhou's wealth, it will be enough to make them tighten their belts for several years.
In the next few years, Liu Biao will not even think about foreign campaigns. The only thing he can think about is how to keep his position as Jingzhou Shepherd!
The actual situation was far more serious than Liu Zhang and others expected. This defeat caused Liu Biao's strength to decline rapidly, and the Jingzhou family expanded aggressively.
While Kuai Liang was draining Jingzhou's wealth this time, it also significantly weakened Liu Biao's rule in Jingzhou. If he wanted to secure his position as Zhou Mu, he had to rely more on the support of the four major families.
From this moment, it was determined that Jingzhou no longer had the power to fight foreign wars. Even if Liu Biao awakened his heart to help the Han Dynasty, it would be of no use. Therefore, his era ended completely with the two annihilations of the entire army.
"Okay, Liangzhou and Jingzhou no longer have any threats. As long as we solve the Nanzhong issue, we can take the first step towards unifying the world!"
Taishi Ci, Zhao Yun, and Dian Wei had extremely firm eyes. They never doubted whether Liu Zhang had this ability.
"My lord is wise!"
Liu Zhang smiled and nodded, then looked at Liu Ye beside him. They were not doing nothing these days. On the contrary, they had been inquiring about the situation in Nanzhong.
"Zi Yang, the rebel forces in South China must have all surfaced. Please give them a brief introduction so that we can formulate a battle plan."
The situation in Nanzhong is different from other places. Not only is the terrain difficult, but the power situation and relationships are also very complicated. Liu Zhang must make decisions and act accordingly, and he must not capsize in the gutter of Nanman!
"As you command!"
After this period of understanding, Liu Ye found that the situation in Nanzhong was far more complicated than he expected.
"My lord, Yongzheng, Zhuqiao, and Meng Kun are leading 40,000 barbarians and 10,000 Han troops to besiege Zhu Ti, and Yan Yan is leading his troops to defend."
"In response to Yongzheng, Zhu Kai, the Zhu clan of Xianxian County, has united with the barbarians in Xianxian County to raise troops, and is now leading an army of 20,000 to besiege Yelang."
"There is no rebellion among the noble families in Yueqi County, but the Yueqi barbarian Gao Shuang has proclaimed himself the King of Yi. Most of the barbarians in Yueqi County have surrendered. Now he is leading 30,000 barbarians to besiege Qiongdu. Zhang Liao and Lu Su are desperately resisting."
Liu Zhang couldn't help frowning and sent out three groups of troops. Unexpectedly, each group was trapped in the city.
"Zi Yang, how is the food and fodder situation of the various armies?"
Defending the city is certainly a good strategy, but defending the city means limited supplies. Once there is a shortage of food, no matter who is the leader, it will still be difficult to save the outcome of the defeat.
"Don't worry, my lord, Lu Su and Zheng Du have been alert in advance and have already stocked up a lot of food and grass in Yelang and Qiongdu, which can last at least a few months."
Now Liu Zhang felt relieved. As long as there was no problem with food and grass, with the abilities of Zhang Ren and Zhang Liao, the city would be safe. With the cooperation of Lu Su and Zheng Du, they might be able to defeat the barbarians.
After all, barbarians are people with well-developed limbs and simple minds.
"Zi Yang, in your opinion, how should we act?"
Bo Road is located in an important land and water area. Whether it is Zangqi County, Yuexi County or Zhuti of Qianwei Shu Kingdom, there are roads to follow.
Now that there are strong enemies on three sides, it is definitely not advisable to divide the troops into three groups. We can only choose one to attack.
"My lord, there are currently hundreds of thousands of enemy troops. We must not underestimate them! However, such a large army is already the majority of the elite Southern Barbarians. If they are defeated in one fell swoop, it will surely frighten the barbarians and provide us with great help in conquering them in the future."
Liu Zhang stroked his beard and nodded as if.
If the Zhu Rong clan and the Meng clan can be made to surrender, then the surrender of the barbarians from Yizhou County and Yongchang County will become much easier.
However, these are alien people who have never truly surrendered. If they are completely convinced, it is inevitable that they will be captured and manipulated!
"Fortunately, the enemies are fighting on their own, otherwise facing a hundred thousand barbarians would be really stressful!"
If we look at the deployment of troops, there is no doubt that Zhu Kai in Xianggao County has the least number of troops.
However, the road from Bodao to Yelang is also the most difficult and dangerous. Once the war goes unfavorably, just transporting food will be extremely difficult.
"My Lord, I suggest that the whole army go straight to Zhu Ti and take the lead in attacking the famous Yongzheng in Nanzhong. The Yong family has been based in Nanzhong for hundreds of years. Their destruction will definitely shake the land of Nanzhong and deter those who resist.
mind!"
Attacking Yongzheng did have many benefits, but it also had many disadvantages.
The simplest thing is that Yongzheng is the strongest!
Fifty thousand barbarians and fifty thousand Jingzhou troops may be different. Their fighting power in the mountains must be extremely amazing.
"Zi Yang, we must strive to win the battle against Yongzheng, otherwise we will not have enough energy to conquer the remaining rebels."
The only troops Liu Zhang could mobilize were the five thousand trapped troops in Chengdu.
The losses in this battle must not be too great. Regardless of whether it is a duel with Yongzheng, Gao Shuang or Zhu Kai, the existing troops in Nanzhong are all the troops in Yizhou.
After killing three people, these troops will also be needed to go south to Yizhou County and Yongchang County.
Liu Ye was not worried about this, and it seemed from his confident eyes that he had a plan to defeat the enemy.
"Don't worry, my lord, although the barbarians are brave and brave, they lack wisdom. As long as they show their weakness to the enemy, they will be able to defeat them!"
"Well, since the military advisor is so confident, it's decided."
Fortunately, Wufeng Camp, Wuwei Camp, and Huwei Camp were all elite troops, and the leading generals were all the leading generals at the time!
Even if he had to fight hard in the end, Liu Zhang was confident that he could defeat them.
"Inform the entire army to pull out camp tomorrow and direct our troops towards Zhu Ti!"
