Chapter 288: Shou

Liu Bei, who was guarding Chengdu, received the news that Ma Chao and Zhao Yun had led the crowd into Hanzhong three days later, and Shu County was shaken.

No one expected that Yanbei would be so decisive in dispatching troops, and the front foot also invited Liu Bei to go to Handan with Guan Zhang's second general, and the back foot sent a large army to Yizhou to crusade, and the atmosphere in the south of Yizhou was extremely depressing for a while.

Although Ma Chao and Zhao Yun had no intention of attacking Yinan, their actions made people feel that the mountains and rains were about to come...... Ma Chao is recruiting. When the news reached Chengdu, Zhang Fei laughed, patted his thigh and smiled at Liu Bei: "Brother is divided into 3,000 soldiers and horses, and he will defeat as many new pawns as Zhang recruits!" ”

Ma Chao is the general of the Yan family, doesn't the Yan family have soldiers? There should be Yan Zhongqing's soldiers everywhere in the world, right, why Ma Chao was so downcast that he wanted to recruit troops in Hanzhong, he was recruiting troops at this time, I'm afraid he didn't expect a decisive battle with Yizhou next year and the year after!

Without a year and a half of training, can any of the new pawns immediately go into battle?

Zhang Fei's words caused the generals of the Liu clan to laugh, and it seemed that even the clouds of war were dispelled by laughter, but Liu Bei couldn't laugh, he slowly shook his head and said: "Some soldiers don't need to be trained, has Yide forgotten the Wuhuan Tucai?" ”

Yanbei has fought many battles with Wuhuan people, with more victories and fewer defeats, when did he train soldiers?

Since Yanbei can drive the Wuhuan people to fight, why can't Ma Chao drive the foreign tribes in the land of Liangyi to fight?

Liu Bei believes that Ma Chao and Zhao Yun's recruitment will never be as simple as Zhang Fei imagined.

In fact, as Liu Bei thought, the soldiers recruited by Ma Chao were not ordinary soldiers, but sent people to contact the leaders of the Qiangdi tribes in the snow-capped mountains of Liangzhou in the past. Just as Yanbei only needs to maintain friendly relations with Qiu Liju to be able to control tens of thousands of Wuhuan troops, Ma Chao has an excellent relationship with the chiefs of the Qiang tribes of Liangzhou, and in just over 30 days, nearly 20,000 Qiang soldiers and armor have come down the mountain to join Ma Chao's army through the Wudu and Yizhou subjects of Liangzhou.

In the blink of an eye, Ma Chao's army was almost under the nose of the Chengdu scouts, and it was getting more and more day by day, and the number of soldiers and horses had also changed from more than 13,000 when Ma Chao and Zhao Yun met at the earliest time to more than 30,000 strong troops.

At this time, even with Zhang Fei's courage, he could not say the words of raising 3,000 troops to block all enemy troops.

Originally, Liu Bei still wanted to send a reply letter to Yanbei to Handan, but looking at the current situation, there was no need to reply. If the battle is won, it will not be too late to reply; If the battle is lost, he will be escorted to Handan and say it directly; As for dying on the battlefield...... People are dead, what else is there to say?

Seeing that the Yan clan was deploying more and more troops in Hanzhong, it was difficult for Liu Bei to sit in Chengdu, so he also began to dispatch troops to garrison dangerous points.

There are soldiers in Yizhou, not only soldiers, but also the number of soldiers. Since the seizure of Chengdu last year and the forced landing of Liu Zhang, Liu Bei has always been worried that the Yan soldiers and horses will raise troops to the south because of their defeat of Zhang Lufu, so he recruited soldiers in Shu County and other places in the south of Yizhou. The people of Yizhou were afraid of the power of its capture of the city, and most of them did not dare to disobey, so they had more than 10,000 huge new soldiers and thousands of old soldiers.

Now that the enemy army is strong, Liu Bei first led troops north with Guan Yu to garrison Baishui Pass to repair the city pass, and then led troops to Pujia Pass with Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, in order to garrison the danger and block the possible southern invasion of Yan's soldiers and horses.

At this time, the war in the north had not yet started, but there was a police situation in the south of Yizhou - Jiaozhou Shixie sent troops to attack Yelang, Chengcheng, Xisui and other places, and then followed Dianchi County, Yizhou County.

Yizhou County is the ancient 'Nanban' kingdom where the Dian Kingdom is located, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered this place and established Yizhou County, which is located in the south of Qian's vassal country.

Liu Bei hurriedly occupied Shu County in the autumn of last year, although with the assistance of Zhuge Liang, he sent a message to the surrounding counties as soon as possible and dispatched county officials, but in the end the time was still short and powerful, and the Yizhou Thorn History Department did not have many garrisons in Yizhou County at all, and what could be used to stop the Jiaozhou army?

In an instant, there were strong enemies in the north and south, and in a hurry, Liu Bei could only appoint Zhang Fei to lead the army to guard Jiaozhou in the south, but in this way, he couldn't leave, and Chengdu must be guarded by him, otherwise once he also left, Chengdu would be difficult to protect.

Liu Zhang is not dead yet, and everyone in Chengdu has just surrendered, but who knows if they will surrender in difficult times?

Liu Bei fell into a dilemma, and the Sun family in Jiangdong was even more uncomfortable. Ma Chao just likes some arrogant style, but Tian Yu didn't say a word, and directly mobilized the Lou Boat Fighting Ship on the first day of April, and killed the Chaisang Water Village with nearly 100 stone cannons and giant crossbows on board.

From the Shuizhai soldiers sounded the conch to the two armies engaged in the battle, and then the building ship collapsed the Shuizhai for just a short hour and a half, the news just sent out from Chaisang, the Shuizhai has been breached, thousands of Jiangdong defeated troops all the way to Chaisang City to retreat, Jiangdong defenders are vulnerable.

Tian Yu was stunned by the ease of the battle, and even showed a little embarrassment, so he had to order someone to pass on to Jiangdong the responsibility for disrespecting the orders of the imperial court, and then sailed away by boat, leaving behind the fire-filled water village and the corpses of most of the garrison of the school captain department who were killed.

The battle went on so fast that Tian Yu was caught off guard, and he had no time to inform Xu Huang's troops and horses, who were preparing to board the ship on the shore of in Guangling County, to kill the other side, and this expected water battle ended.

Not to mention that Tian Yu didn't expect it, even the Jiangdong people who were beaten themselves didn't expect it...... Tian Yu let Yan's warship go around several ports on the side of Wu County for more than half a month, and at this time, he suddenly raised troops to fight the Chaisang Water Village in the west of Wu County, who could have predicted it?

The people of Jiangdong are no more swaying from side to side than Liu Bei in whether to go to Handan City or not, and they can't even decide whether to fight the Yan clan or not. Sun Ce had long wanted to fight to the death with the Yan clan on the river, but it was just because he saw that his family was alone, so he wanted to grab more time to train soldiers and horses and catch up with warships, and there was a heartstring to fight to the death. Now the Yan clan raided the Chaisang Water Village, although the battle was not big, but the string hanging up and down the Sun clan suddenly collapsed.

After the collapse, it is much easier to figure out.

Assembling the warships, the veteran Han Dang led the fleet from Wu County to sweep up, and the Yan fleet encountered by the waterway chased and fought fiercely, and his subordinates Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai and others each led their ships from the river to the west. On the way, Zhou Yu led the army into Chaisang to garrison the city, and Zu Lang and other generals led the horse infantry army to fortify the Yan army in various places on the riverbank, and strictly defended it.

Sun Ce himself led an elite army to guard Wu County, waiting to rush to the aid of various places.

Sun's strategy for the Yan family has only one word, guard. With the help of Dajiang Insurance, we will guard the Yan clan with ease!
