"Zi Yang, it will take at least half a month to get to Yelang from here. I don't know how long it will take after going back and forth?"
"Now that Qiongdu is being attacked by Gaoding, Zijing and the others only have 10,000 people. Can they hold on until we can support them?"
Liu Zhang was not worried about the city being attacked from the front. After all, relying on Zhang Liao's ability, defending the city was not a big problem. The main thing was food and grass.
Gaoding surrounded Qiongdu, and it was still unknown how many days the city's food and grass could last.
"My lord, Gaoding of Yuexi County is a barbarian. After defeating him, Gaoding can still continue to coerce the barbarians to fight with us. Zhu Bao is a noble clan and represents the power of the noble clans of Zanggao County."
"After defeating Zhu Bao, Xianggao County can be quickly pacified and can also deter the suspicious barbarians in the county. From a strategic perspective, it is undoubtedly the best choice."
There is nothing wrong with Liu Ye's idea, but Qiongdu must not sit idly by and ignore it.
"Zi Yang, you take Zi Long and Hu Weiying to support Zijing. I will go to Yelang in person to kill Zhu Bao!"
It wasn't that Liu Zhang was reluctant to give Liu Ye troops and horses. After passing Zhu Ti, the cavalry had less and less room to play. Liu Zhang was ready to let Tai Shici surrender the counties of Xangda County.
"In that case, please be careful, lord!"
Liu Ye didn't have any objections, and was even a little excited. After all, it was his first time to take the initiative to lead an army!
"Zilong, you must be careful when going to Qiong, and listen to the advice of your military advisor on everything."
Zhao Yun and Liu Zhang are still very reassured. With his cautious temperament, there will definitely be no big problems.
"Lord, don't worry!"
Lu Su, Zhang Liao plus Liu Ye and Zhao Yun, I believe it is enough to drink a pot of high-end drinks.
"Zi Yang, Gao Ding is a capricious man, don't show mercy when fighting him! Once Gao Ding dies, the barbarians of Yue Si County will surrender."
Even Zhuge Liang, who used a psychological attack on Nanzhong, did not let go of the elderly Gao Ding, so you can imagine what kind of person Gao Ding was.
It must be unteachable!
"Please keep this in mind!"
Liu Ye did not hesitate and immediately headed to Yueqi County with Zhao Yun and Hu Weiying. Liu Zhang gathered the surrendered soldiers and escorted them back to Zhuti City.
After a short period of repairs, and after ordering Yan Yan to classify Qian as a vassal state again, Liu Zhang led Dian Wei, Tai Shi Ci and two battalions of soldiers and horses under his command to set off for Xianggao County.
Liu Zhang's troops were divided into two groups, one led by him personally led Dianwei and the Wuwei battalion to attack Yelang directly along the Cangzhou River, and the other led by Tai Shici led the Wufeng battalion to raid Zhu Bao's old nest Qielan.
Like a divine soldier descending from heaven, Liu Zhang led his army directly into Zhu Bao's camp at night. Zhu Bao's army was unprepared and was immediately in chaos.
Zheng Du, who was stationed in Yelang City, was keenly aware of the information about Liu Zhang's surprise attack, and immediately ordered Zhang Ren to lead his army out of the city and attack Zhu Bao's army together with Liu Zhang.
Dian Wei killed everyone in Zhu Bao's camp, and even went straight to the commander's tent single-handedly, and finally beheaded Zhu Bao, the leader of the bandit, with his own hands.
Most of Zhu Bao's 20,000 troops were killed or wounded, and the rest surrendered.
After Taishi Ci led his army to approach Qielan, he found out through investigation that Qielan's guards were weak, and almost all the elite troops were transferred away by Zhu Bao.
Taishi Ci had an idea and sent soldiers and civilians to sneak into Qielan, and then cooperated inside and outside to successfully occupy Qielan.
Zhu Bao's family was caught off guard and they were all arrested. At this point, the Zhu family, the top family in Xianggao County, was completely destroyed by Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang did not stop after annihilating Zhu Bao. He ordered Zhang Ren to conquer the surrounding counties, and then led his army to attack Yizhou County in person.
At the same time, the Yi king Gaoding, who had raised troops in Yuexi County to resist Liu Zhang, had been successfully overthrown.
As early as when Liu Zhang was campaigning against Yongzheng, Lu Su had already made plans to defeat the enemy.
Long before Gaoding besieged Qiongdu, Lu Su ordered Zhang Liao to lead a thousand troops to ambush outside the city and specifically attack Gaoding's grain roads.
Zhang Liao was not jealous when faced with mountains of grain, and would burn them all every time.
Gao Ding was furious and sent many troops to look for Yang Huai, but to no avail every time.
This continued for more than a month, and the Gaoding army frequently experienced food shortages, and the barbarian soldiers often rioted because of hunger.
Not only did Couture have no patience to appease, but he often used brutal means to suppress them.
As time passed, the resentment in the army became deeper and deeper.
Gao Ding originally intended to retreat, but Lu Su cleverly gave Gao Ding the illusion that Qiongdu City would soon be broken!
Such a belief has always made Gao Ding grit his teeth and persevere.
Finally, the barbarians could no longer endure the day-long hunger and the cruel killings of Gaoding, and began to flee the camp in groups.
Once the deserters appeared, there was no way to stop them. In just a few days, more than 10,000 soldiers had fled. Most of them were barbarians from other tribes who had been coerced by Haute Couture.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Lu Su immediately contacted Zhang Liao outside the city to prepare for the final decisive battle.
Zhang Liao was very brave in this battle. He led a thousand soldiers to attack the Gaoding military camp of 20,000 barbarians. The general's camp was turned upside down.
The barbarian soldiers were immediately in chaos and even blew up the camp!
Lu Su seized the fleeting opportunity and ordered Leng Bao to lead the entire Han Xing camp in Qiongdu City to raid the Gaoding military camp for the second time.
Gaoding's army was in chaos, its morale and morale suddenly collapsed, and the 20,000 barbarians dispersed in a rush. Seeing that the situation was over, Gaoding quickly fled with the warriors of his tribe, hoping to make a comeback in the future.
By coincidence, I happened to have face-to-face contact with Liu Ye, Zhao Yun and Huweiying!
Liu Ye immediately concluded that this was the defeat of Gaoding, and was running away in a panic. Zhao Yun was not unambiguous, and immediately led the entire army to press on Gaoding, not only picking up Gaoding with guns, but also capturing all the barbarians around Gaoding.
Like a coincidence, Lu Su and Liu Ye attacked from both sides and not only killed the barbarian leader Gao Ding, but also wiped out all his soldiers.
Gao Ding died and all his tribesmen were captured. This also represented the destruction of the largest barbarian force in Yueqi County.
Lu Su made a decisive decision and immediately asked Zhang Liao to lead an army to raid Gaoding's home base of Dinglu, capture all the Gaoding tribe, and obtain 100,000 barbarians, old and young.
With the destruction of Yongzheng, Gaoding, and Zhu Bao, the barbarians in the three counties were shocked. No one dared to offend Liu Zhang's tiger beard anymore, so they all chose to quit their activities and escape into the mountains, for fear that Liu Zhang would miss them.
In view of Liu Zhang's overthrow of Yongzheng under Zhu Ti City, he provoked a war between the Yong family, the Zhu Rong family, and the Meng family.
Lu Su and Liu Ye agreed that Lu Su, Zhang Liao, and Yang Huai would continue to stay in Qiongdu and start the process of annexing the barbarians, starting with the 100,000 tribes in Gaoding.
Liu Ye and Zhao Yun joined forces with Huwei Camp to attack Sanyao County, preparing to cooperate with Liu Zhang to intimidate Yizhou County.
By May, Liu Zhang was stationed in Wudan and Liu Ye was stationed in Sanyao, forming a pincer attack on Yizhou County from the east and west.
Liu Zhang did not order an immediate attack, but stationed his troops in the city.
It was now the scorching summer heat, and the weather in Nanzhong was so hot that it was really impossible to fight. Moreover, after the news of Yongzheng's death spread throughout Yizhou County, there was no news for a long time.
Liu Zhang's army had strong morale after winning consecutive battles, but its own troops were insufficient, so they had to wait until the Yong clan started fighting with the Zhu Rong clan and the Meng clan.
In this way, a pincer attack from all sides can be formed. If the Zhu Rong clan attacks the Yong clan of Yizhou County from within, they will surely be able to pacify Yizhou County in one go.
