322 Changes in Changsha County
Although the already fragile economy has made it worse, fortunately there are also gains. At least there are no need for too many soldiers to guard against the Wuling Barbarians' attack.
Of course, in addition to money, Shamoke also asked for the barbarian soldiers captured by Taishici to be sent back, and Zhao Fei also agreed.
Although Zhao Fei was very annoyed, he knew that it was not the time to deal with Shamoke. When Liu Biao was solved and the south was unified, Shamoke would naturally look good at that time.
Zhao Fei ordered Xu Sheng to bring 5,000 troops to station in the western part of Yulin County. It was impossible for him to be defensive to Shamoke. Of course, these 5,000 troops were also self-contained. If Shamoke really wanted to attack, it would not be possible to resist. It was just that Zhao Fei could learn about Shamoke's attack as soon as possible.
Zhao Fei also comforted Liao Hua's side and wrote a letter to ask him to recover from his injuries. Hua Tuo's apprentices were all good. Liao Hua probably would be able to get out of bed and walk around in a few days.
Taishi Ci led the remaining eight thousand men and Wei Yan's nine thousand men to attack Lingling County in two directions.
Wenpin only has an army of 20,000, so it is naturally difficult to defend. After all, Taishi Ci and Wei Yan are both stronger and stronger than him.
After losing one after another, Wen Pin immediately asked Liu Biao for help from Xiangyang.
When Wei Yan wiped out Liu Du's 20,000 troops, Liu Biao had already received news that the occupation of southern Jingzhou had undergone tremendous changes. Now he naturally knew that Lingling County was in danger.
However, Liu Biao basically sent all the troops that he could send out. Changsha County and Jiangxia County gathered many troops. After all, Huang Zhong and Chen Dao's attack was still very fierce. Liu Biao had no extra troops to support Lingling County.
You can't transfer all the last defensive troops in Xiangyang. Yuan Shu's army is on the side. If it is too empty, it is very likely that Yuan Shu will have other ideas. After all, if Yuan Shu conquered Jingzhou and mastered the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, he could attack Jiangdong by land from southern Jingzhou. He would not have to face the natural dangers of the Yangtze River, and would not be as helpless as he is now.
Therefore, the garrison troops in Xiangyang have been lowered to the lowest point and cannot be transferred out of the troops, at least not less than the troops arranged by Yuan Shu in Nanyang County.
Liu Biao didn't know what to do, so he naturally had to consult his subordinates. Kuai Liang was a talented man and had always stayed in Xiangyang to take charge of the overall situation.
"Zirou, what should you do?" Liu Biao looked a little panicked. He did not expect that in the south, Lingling County, 50,000 troops, and huge sums of money to invite Wulingman to reinforcements, would be defeated.
Kuai Liang looked at the information and felt helpless. Now the response plan for the entire Jingzhou was proposed by him. Spending huge sums of money to invite Wulingman as reinforcements can just consume the strength of Wulingman and Zhao Fei. He also proposed by him. He originally thought that the entire battle situation would be as stable as Mount Tai, but he did not expect that Zhao Fei's army generals would understand so powerful.
In fact, when it comes to generals, Liu Biao's side is not bad. Kuai Liang's arrangements are very good. In Changsha County, his younger brother Kuai Yue is here, and later he even transferred Ma Liang. With Liu Biao's eldest son Liu Qi is here, he can stabilize the morale of the army and Liu Pan's ability is also very good.
Although Lu Su was in the middle of the attacks of Huang Zhong and Chen Dao, Changsha County was in danger, but it could still last for a while without losing at once.
Kuai Liang originally did not intend to agree to the request of Yuan Shu's army to cross the river from Changsha County, but he just hoped that he could open up the war in Jingnan.
After all, there are 50,000 troops from Wenpeng and 40,000 troops from Shamoke, which is 90,000. However, there are only 30,000 troops from Taishici.
Moreover, Kuai Liang arranged a lot of talents. Wen Pin himself was a general. In addition to him, there were also people like Jiang Wan, Yi Ji, and Lu Jie.
If Yi Ji is an internal affairs talent, similar to Wang Can in Jiangxia County, then Jiang Wan is definitely a military advisor who has both internal affairs.
In history, after Zhuge Liang's death, Jiang Wan was named General and Grand Sima, taking charge of the government and military power of Shu Kingdom, taking over Zhuge Liang's position and resisting Cao Wei's attack.
Therefore, in Lingling County, Liu Biao also needs to have literary talent and martial arts, which is much better than Zhao Fei's side.
After all, although Taishici was powerful, there were no advisers in Yulin County. Lu Su was in charge of the war in Changsha County and could not escape. He could only send Wei Yan to support him according to Zhao Fei's order. Apart from that, he could not do anything else to help Taishici.
Taishici was the only one who was around Xu Sheng, while Liao Hua was seriously injured.
If it weren't for this, it would be impossible for the 30,000 army to be left with only more than 13,000 people. At the worst, almost the entire Yulin County was captured.
It was entirely because of Wen Pin's martial spirit and Jiang Wan's strategy. Taishi Ciyong was brave enough, but he was not capable of comparing with Jiang Wan in terms of strategy. Faced with the enemy's attack and Jiang Wan's strategy, he could only defend with all his heart and dare not attack. He wanted to attack unexpectedly a few times before, but Jiang Wan expected it and suffered a lot of losses.
However, Jiang Wan and Wenpin went to attack Yulin County together. Yiji, who was left behind in Lingling County, had poor military talents, and his main abilities were in internal affairs.
Of course, Yi Ji can be a third-rate military advisor. Compared with ordinary military generals, he must have a lot of strategies, but he is much worse than Wei Yan.
Kuai Liang did not expect that Zhao Fei had so many capable people, first Taishi Ci could resist the joint attack of Wen Pin and Shamoke, and then Wei Yan, the nameless man, was cleanly and neatly annexed 20,000 troops.
Although it would not be a loss in one move, Liu Biao was undoubtedly too passive.
"It seems that we can only mobilize the troops from Wuling County to support Lingling County," Kuai Liang said with a frown.
After hearing this, Liu Biao felt it was feasible, so he felt relieved and there was a solution, "Then do it!"
As soon as Liu Biao finished speaking, personal soldiers immediately sent in outside the door.
After reading the information, Liu Biao's face was calmer, but he became very entangled.
"Master, what's wrong?" Kuai Liang asked in confusion.
"Zirou, please see for yourself. These barbarians who are betrayal and forgetful, and those who are not full of dogs are fed." Liu Biao looked depressed and handed the information in his hand to Kuai Liang.
Kuai Liang took the information and read it quickly, and his heart immediately became extremely speechless.
Wulingman attacks Wuling County!
Kuai Liang did not expect that he had just said that he would mobilize Wuling County's troops to support Lingling County, so the Wuling Man attacked Wuling County.
What's going on? It's not that Zhao Fei defeated Shamoke, Wuling shouldn't have hated Zhao Fei anymore, so why did he attack Wuling County?
Kuai Liang didn't know much about what happened after Wenpin left. He didn't know that Shamoke was defeated because of Wenpin's sudden retreat, so miserable that only one person returned to the mountain village.
Of course, Wenpin is not wrong. If Taishici had not discovered it in advance, then Shamoke would not have suffered such great losses.
The original intention of Kuai Liang to ask Shamoke to be reinforcements was to consume the strength of both Wulingman and Zhao Fei. After all, Wulingman had been invading Wulingman before, causing great trouble and trouble to Liu Biao.
Now Liu Biao is also out of difficulties and his army is scarce. Shamoke led his army to attack Wuling County and gradually found the feeling he had before. It felt much easier. The main reason is that Liu Biao did not arrange any powerful figures in Wuling County. Shamoke was also invincible and easily robbed a lot of them.
Zhao Fei was both releasing people and giving gifts. Shamoko was shocked by the strength of Zhao Fei, so he didn't want to cause trouble for Zhao Fei anymore. Just as the new beam on Liu Biao's side was set up, he came out to rob him, which not only soothes his body and mind, but also makes up for the previous losses and uses victory to increase the morale of his barbarians.
Shamoke doesn't understand the principle of losing his lips and cold teeth, otherwise he would not be a barbarian. He has force, but Shamoke will definitely not understand the general trend of the world.
Shamoke relies on his Wuling Man is all in the mountains and forests, and it is expected that no one can do anything about him. Therefore, he will beat anyone who is unhappy, and will not pay attention to the general trend of the entire Jiangnan and even the world.
Now it was Liu Biao and Kuai Liang's turn to have a headache. The troops in Wuling County must be unable to be mobilized. Maybe some people will be mobilized to support Wuling County!
After thinking for a long time, Kuai Liang sighed, "It seems that only the only way to let Yuan Gaolu's army cross the river from Changsha County."
This is a solution that Kuai Liang didn't want to do so unless it was absolutely necessary.
The fact that Yuan Highway's army crossed the river not only meant that Zhao Fei lost the natural danger of the Yangtze River, but also mean that once Yuan Shu defeated Zhao Fei, it would be difficult for Liu Biao to withstand Yuan Shu's attack on the water and land.
Liu showed that he was united with Yuan Shu, so naturally they would not believe that the other party would live in peace after defeating Zhao Fei.
Liu Biao naturally understood the truth, but he couldn't think of other ways to solve this dilemma.
Letting Yuan Shu's army cross the river from Changsha County means that Liu Biao abandoned Changsha County.
Leaving Zhao Fei's attack, Yuan Shu was allowed to fight with Zhao Fei to the death, while Liu Biao withdrew the army in Changsha County, supported Wuling County and Lingling County, and then counterattacked Jiaozhou.
Zhao Fei had an unstable foothold in Jiaozhou. Maybe before Yuan Shu occupied Jiangdong, Liu Biao would be able to completely occupy Jiaozhou. Then he would not be afraid of Yuan Shu turning against him.
Each force has its own strategic goal, it depends on who can achieve it first.
Zhao Fei didn't know Liu Biao's next decision, but he could basically guess that under Guo Jia's reminder, Zhao Fei also moved Zhang Liao's army a lot to Changsha County.
This is a big battle, and with so many people in Huang Zhong, Chen Dao, Zhang Liao and Lu Su, there are more than 100,000 troops, and only Zhao Fei personally goes to Changsha County can preside over the overall situation.
Just like Liu Biao, Liu Qi was also in Changsha County. Zhao Fei's son was still young and could not take him to fight to stabilize the morale of the army, so he would only go there in person. Otherwise, Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, and Chen Dao would not be suitable for anyone who arranged to be the head coach, and no one else would be convinced.
You should know that Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao are both arrogant people, and they can get along well on weekdays, but if Zhao Fei insists on one of them as the head coach, they will definitely not be able to get along well before.
Zhang Liao is both civil and military, and being the head coach is very suitable, but his strength is not as strong as Huang Zhonggao. Huang Zhong is impatient and cannot stand the instigation of generals. It is not suitable to be the head coach. Zhang Liao cannot suppress him at all, only Zhao Fei can. (To be continued.
