Chapter 0066 - Coming to Youzhou for the First Battle

Man Gui and others lived at the intersection of Han and Hu. He was deeply influenced by Han culture, and was accustomed to life on the back of Hu people.

In Man Gui's own words, the horseback is their home, they eat and sleep on the horse, and it is no problem if they don't get off the horse for seven days and seven nights.

If it weren't for the wine table, Liu Mang would definitely ask them how to solve the problem.

Man Gui and the others were not considered Hu merchants, so in order to make money, they sold all their property, raised money to buy some horses, and prepared to sell them in Zhuoluhu City.

Relying on his own skills, he was reluctant to spend money to ask Liu Mang's team to escort him, but he didn't expect that the horse was robbed halfway. Man Gui and the others are now left.

Even if they are straightforward and open-minded, Man Gui and the others will inevitably sigh a few times.

Liu Mang took the opportunity to send out an invitation, follow me!

Man Gui stretched out his oil-stained hand, wiped it on the shiny head, and nodded: "The big official and the little brother are righteous, you can follow you, but there is one condition." ”

"Say!"

Man Gui casually grabbed two greasy bowls. "Dry three bowls of wine, and our brother will follow the big official and the little brother!"

This large clay bowl is not an exaggeration to say that it is a small basin.

Liu Mang gritted his teeth and roared: "It's full!" ”

A bowl of wine went down, and several Hu people applauded.

One more bowl!

As soon as the wine was down, Liu Mang rushed out of the door and sprayed wildly all the way......

The Hu brothers laughed.

Liu Mang's eyes were full of tears, wiped his eyes, and walked back.

"Full!"

The Hu brothers opened their mouths wide.

"After I vomited, I am still a good man! Full! ”

After three bowls of wine, Man Gui dropped the big bowl and knelt on one knee. "Our brother is with you!"

Liu Mang only felt a "buzz" sound......

……

When Liu Mang woke up, he realized that the "hum" sound was sent by the system.

Man Gui turned out to be a ruling talent summoned by an exclusive opportunity!

Type: Domination

Name: Man Gui

Circumference: Unknown

Specialty: Mounted archery

Talent profile: Man Gui, a famous general of the Jin (Qing) after resisting at the end of the Ming Dynasty. has made many military exploits, but has rarely been rewarded. Reckless, but loyal.

Liu Mang was overjoyed.

Finally, there is a general who is good at training and commanding cavalry!

Now, Liu Mang's command is full of talents.

Liu Mang ordered Fu Youde, Cheng to bite Jin, and each led a foot soldier.

Ordered to select suitable archers and train them. Although there are not enough war horses yet, there will definitely be one in the future, and it is necessary to prepare in advance.

The infantry bow team is trained by the Mulan Huarong sisters and brothers.

Although Mulan is a female man, she is a female streamer after all, so she commands the bow, and many of her subordinates are not convinced. And Hua Rong is young and can't lead the team.

Liu Mang ordered Su Dingfang to temporarily take over the commander of the bow.

Although Su Dingfang's state has stabilized, his mood has never been high. Fortunately, the practice of the step bow is mostly the responsibility of the Hua sisters and brothers, and Su Dingfang only needs to serve the public in name.

Fan Zhongyan assisted Liu Mang in handling government affairs.

Wu uses Yanqing to manage the Jixian office.

As for the time change, he is not a general who commands the army, and continues to serve as the captain of the "Chengguan Anti-pickpocketing Patrol Team". The last time he caught Man Gui, who made trouble, made him feel a sense of accomplishment.

There are nearly 500 soldiers and horses under his command, and all the generals are working hard, and the team is getting stronger and stronger!

……

Man Gui and others defected, the Hu people's troubles subsided, and Hu Shang's worries were eliminated.

However, in Liu Mang's view, the matter is not over.

If the horses of Man Gui and others are not recovered, and the rogues are not cleared, the trade routes will not be peaceful, and the development of Zhuoluhu City will have hidden dangers.

After more than half a month of investigation, Fan Zhongyan finally collected important clues, it was Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun's remnants who robbed the horses!

Zhang Ju, a local tyrant of Yuyang County, served as the Taishou of Taishan County, Yanzhou.

Zhang Chun, who was the minister of Zhongshan in Jizhou, is equivalent to Taishou.

In the fourth year of Zhongping (187), Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun united with the Wuhuan Lord Qiu Liju to rebel. Zhang Ju proclaimed himself the Son of Heaven, and Zhang Chun appointed himself as the general of Mitian.

At the beginning, the Eastern Han Dynasty sent troops to clear it, and Gongsun Zhan, who was then the captain of the cavalry, advanced lightly and was defeated.

Later, Youzhou Mu Liu Yu recruited troops to fight, first recruited Xianbei, and then quelled the rebellion. Qiu Li surrendered, and Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun were defeated.

It is rumored that Zhang Chun was assassinated by the doorman, and Zhang Ju fled to the outside of the fortress, and his whereabouts are unknown.

According to the analysis of clues collected by Fan Zhongyan, the remnants of Zhang Ju were hidden in the north of Shanggu County, in the areas of Baishan and Yanshan, with nearly 3,000 remnants.

What to do?

Liu Mang hurriedly summoned Wu Yong to come to Zhuolu to discuss how to deal with it.

To fight or not to fight, everyone has different opinions.

Most people believe that the remnants of Zhang Ju are hiding deep in the mountains, and it is difficult to catch their traces, and their power is far greater than their own, so it is too difficult to clear them.

Fan Zhongyan advocated purging. He believes that if Zhang Ju is not removed, it will be difficult for the trade route to be unblocked, and besides, it is the rebellion of the country, and the rebellion is eliminated, and the division is famous, which can not only ensure the peace of the trade route, but also win the hearts of the people.

Fan Zhongyan's point of view reminded Liu Mang of Wu Yong's "three people" again.

With talents, soldiers and horses, what is most needed now is to gather people's hearts.

Although the bandits are powerful and hiding deep in the mountains, they must be eradicated!

Beat!

Liu Mang made up his mind!

Although Zhang Ju has 3,000 remnants, most of them are old and weak family members, and less than half of them are really combative.

However, it is now September, and winter is about to begin. In winter, heavy snow closed the mountains, making it impossible to use troops.

Wu used a plan to lure the enemy.

The cold winter is approaching, and the thieves will take advantage of the heavy snow to close the mountains and loot enough supplies to survive the winter.

Send some escort teams as bait, and the poor thieves will inevitably take the bait.

That's it!

There was a heated discussion among the people, and the plan to lure the enemy was designed more ingeniously and perfectly.

He ordered Fu Youde and others to lead a small team to escort a small amount of supplies, choose a road close to Baishan Yanshan, and lure Zhang Ju's remnants to rob and give them some sweetness.

At the same time, a large amount of grain and cloth were prepared in Zhuolu with great fanfare, ready to be shipped to Quang Ninh.

Zhang Ju was originally a local tyrant in Youzhou, and after the rebellion was suppressed, he fled into the mountains, but in the Youzhou area, he must have left eyeliner.

Zhang Ju's remnants tasted the sweetness, and their vigilance would be relaxed, and food and cloth were urgently needed for the winter, which was enough to make the thieves take risks and send the main remnants of the thieves to go down the mountain to rob.

As long as the thieves descend the mountain, they can be surrounded on all sides and annihilated in one fell swoop!

Implement it now!

Fu Youde and Cheng Yanjin acted as bait respectively, and Zhang Ju's remnants really hit the plan and robbed several batches of supplies.

On the Zhuolu side, Liu Mang led Shi Qian and others to make a big noise in Hu City, saying that the thieves were fierce and reminded the Han and Hu merchants to be vigilant, and on the other hand, on the pretext of raising winter supplies in Guangning, they mobilized grain, grass and cloth everywhere.

Scouts are coming!

Zhang Ju remnants of the thief have sent the main force down the mountain. There are nearly 1,000 bandits and bearers!

Take the bait and get ready to attack!

This was the first big battle after the team arrived in Youzhou, and everyone was very excited.

Liu Mang originally wanted to hand over the command of this battle to Su Dingfang, but this Su Lie's mood was really difficult to reassure, so let Fu Youde command.

Fu Youde ordered: Man Gui took a hundred foot soldiers to escort the supplies and act as bait to lure the enemy. Fu Youde himself and Cheng Yanjin each brought a hundred foot soldiers, Su Lie Hua Mulan brought a hundred soldiers and bows, and the three-way soldiers and horses were ambushed in advance.

Everyone agreed to this deployment, but Mulan was anxious......
