Chapter 1008 A Big Detour, Return to the Nanman!
In the 16th year of the lord's calendar, the three kingdoms of the Han Empire have lasted for a year. The Xia army's southward march was blocked in the Qinling Mountains and the Yangtze River, and it was difficult to cross the natural moat.
During this period, Liu Bei claimed to be the king of Hanzhong, and he competed with the kings of Wu and Xia.
Chutian formed the Lishan Army and the Koryo Army, and ordered the Liaodong Army, Monan Army, and Mobei Army that had experienced the Koryo War to rest and stationed in the Koryo Dufu to suppress the rebellion in the Koryo area.
It seems that the three kingdoms are standing at the same time, but Xia Jun is actually on the offensive and is constantly accumulating military power.
Hanzhong, Yangping Pass, our army strategist Chen Xi accompanied Hanzhong King Liu Bei to patrol this pass.
Wang Meng, Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Deng Qiang guarded Yangping Pass. The Xiliang Army plus the Fifth White Robe Corps of the Imperial Guards, a total of five legions, attacked Yangping Pass, but could not take it.
Yangping Pass stands between the two mountains and the Mian River, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Even if the Xiliang army surprises Yinping and takes Chengdu, it will be useless in front of Chen Xi as a player.
If the Xiliang army wants to copy Deng Aiqi and attack Chengdu, what awaits the Xiliang army will be an ambush on all sides, closing the door and beating dogs.
"The danger of mountains and rivers is enough to be a million heroes."
Chen Xi saw that Yangping Pass had been reinforced many times. It was 16 meters high and the thickest part could reach 10 meters. It was desperate.
The Xiliang Army has Ma Chao, and the White Robe Army has Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun. Facing the majestic Xiongguan, it is still useless.
Wang Jian and Li Ji who attacked the Qinling Mountains did not achieve much results. In the Qinling Mountains, the 200,000 troops could not be deployed, and the supply of food and grass was difficult. Facing the mountain fortress set up by the famous general of the Shu Army, they could only attack with a small force. The advantage is difficult to play.
If the consumption continues, Xia Jun must be the first to retreat.
"It would be great if something happened to Xia Jun during this time."
Chen Xi was waiting for the Chutian forces to change.
Although the Xia army will not be able to break through Hanzhong's perfect defense for a while, the Shu army can only retreat in Hanzhong, unable to build plank roads openly and hide Chencang secretly.
Because Chen Xi is a player, he is familiar with history and knows that the timing is very important to attack the Central Plains from Hanzhong.
There are many favorable conditions for Liu Bangming to build plank roads, secretly cover Chencang, and capture Guanzhong from Hanzhong. First, Han Xin was worshiped as a general, and Han Xin proposed strategies; second, Xiang Yu crusaded against the king of Qi, and had no time to worry about Liu Bang who was far away in Hanzhong; At that time, he surrendered to Xiang Yu, so the Qin people in Guanzhong hated Zhang Han, Sima Xin, and Dong Yi.
Zhuge Liang said to Li in Longzhong, "If the world changes, a general will be ordered to lead the army of Jingzhou to Xiangwan and Luo, and the general will lead the people of Yizhou to come out of Qinchuan."
The premise of Zhuge Liang's crusade against the Central Plains is to occupy Jingzhou and Yizhou, and "the world has changed."
As a result, Zhuge Liang couldn't wait for the chaos in the north in his life. Sima's usurpation of Wei was also a matter of Jiang Wei's era. Moreover, Guan Yu lost Jingzhou, which made Zhuge Liang, who was not rich, worse.
Lu Su's strategy for Sun Quan was "accept the pole of the Yangtze River, occupy it, and then establish the title of emperor to map the world", that is, occupy the entire land south of the Yangtze River, and then wait and see if there is a chance for the Northern Expedition.
Lu Su's strategy was comparable to that of Longzhong, and it was not fully completed, because Yizhou finally fell into Liu Bei's hands.
Sometimes, there is a definite number in the dark.
It is too difficult for Chen Xi to wait for the change.
If we continue to wait, it is estimated that Chutian's eldest son will grow up soon.
At that time, Liu Bei's forces will not only face Chutian as a big devil, but two big devils.
The chances for the Shu army to turn around are probably only Chutian's death in battle, death of illness, or a major rebellion.
Otherwise, it would be almost impossible to use Yizhou to compete against the Kyushu in the world, plus the five major protectorates.
"Military division, last year Xia's army conscripted cavalry outside the customs and destroyed Koryo. It is said that the grassland cavalry is invincible. Fortunately, the cavalry cannot play a role in the Qinling Mountains."
Liu Bei mentioned the battle against Goryeo by the Xia army last year.
"At that time Chu Zimou recruited 50,000 Mongolian cavalry, 50,000 Hun cavalry, 100,000 Xianbei cavalry...etc..."
When Chen Xi responded to Liu Bei, he seemed to have captured some information.
"Why did Chu Zimou only conscript 50,000 Mongolian cavalry when Koryo was destroyed? He inherited a lot of Mongolian cavalry from Temujin's Mobei. Even the declining Xiongnu cavalry had 50,000 cavalry to attack Goryeo country, and the Mongolian cavalry only sent 50,000, which is really wrong..."
With years of experience as a military adviser, Chen Xi was keenly aware of Xia Jun's abnormality.
He was shocked by the news of Koryo's fall last year, so he didn't notice the composition of the army Xia Jun used to pacify Koryo.
However, for a while, Chen Xi couldn't explain: "Could it be because the cost of the teleportation array from Mobei to Korea is too high?"
Liu Bei said: "Perhaps the Xia army thinks that Koryo can be pacified without dispatching too many Mongolian cavalry."
Chen Xi shook his head: "For the sake of caution, I still send people to Harahelin and Longcheng in Mobei to find out the truth. What I am worried about is that the Mongolian cavalry in Mobei are missing."
The survivability of Mongolian horses is amazing, and the Mongolian cavalry has many horses, so the Mongolian army often wanders around. This is a headache for the enemies of the Mongolian cavalry.
Chen Xi immediately hired players and went to Mobei to investigate information.
Chen Xi thought that Chutian might have dispatched Mobei's cavalry to go to other places.
In the south of Yizhou, a member of a Nanman tribe saw a group of cavalry in ragged clothes appearing and disappearing in the mountains and forests. They thought it was Tubo cavalry, and the whole tribe panicked.
"There is no need for everyone to panic, this place is under my high-definition jurisdiction, how can outsiders invade!"
Gao Ding, the leader of the Nanman tribe in Yuexi County, heard that there was a troop of cavalry appearing in the forest, so he immediately assembled the troops of eighteen tribes to stop the cavalry of unknown origin.
Eighteen barbarian tribes, about tens of thousands of southern barbarians, and dozens of war elephants, are extremely powerful.
Not only the barbarian tribes in Yueyi County, but Jiao Huang, the prefect of Yueyi County set up by Liu Bei, was also alarmed. He immediately asked people to ask what happened.
Tens of thousands of barbarians set up wooden fences to intercept unknown cavalry.
"Maybe it's cavalry from Tubo who want to plunder various tribes. Don't worry, patriarchs, with me standing by, this cavalry will never come back!"
Holding a big knife, Gao Ding swore to the leaders of the eighteen barbarian tribes.
Sure enough, dozens of cavalrymen in ragged clothes appeared in the mountain road.
"Hahaha, there are only a few dozen people, and I am going to be the top general, and one person can destroy them!"
Gao Ding took the lead, standing in front of tens of thousands of barbarians, despising the opposing cavalry.
The clothes of this cavalry were shabby, not even as good as the equipment of the Southern Man cavalry.
Suddenly, dozens of cavalry saw the Nanman soldiers and turned around.
"They must be afraid of us, let's go and hunt them down!"
Gao Ding excitedly led an army of more than 10,000 Nanman troops to chase and kill dozens of cavalrymen.
When Gao Ding chased the mountain road for a few miles, Gao Ding saw a terrifying scene from a high place - in the forest, groups of cavalrymen carrying Mongolian bows and holding spears appeared, covering the mountains and plains, boundless and endless, startling countless birds !
Gao Ding's eyes widened immediately, thinking of his boast just now, he couldn't help sweating profusely.
There are dozens of cavalry here, there are tens of thousands of cavalry! Even one hundred thousand cavalry!
Gao Ding's palms were sweating, his 10,000 southern barbarians were just dying in front of this huge cavalry, no, they didn't even have the qualifications to die!
"Boss, can you really defeat this cavalry?"
"Are you kidding me..."
Gao Ding couldn't care less about face at this time.
Gao Ding and a group of southern barbarian tribal leaders trembled.
The two players led dozens of commanders and commanders, and rode their horses to the front of the endless cavalry, confronting Gao Ding.
One of the female players with a sword came out on a horse: "I am Mu Ke, the prefect of Yizhou County. Which Nanman tribe are you from? What county is this place?"
Seeing that Gao Ding was the old master, he suddenly realized that he immediately got off his horse and knelt in front of Mu Ke's horse: "It turns out that it is the leader, and the Yuemen Gao Ding is here to welcome the leader back to Nanman!"
Mu Ke said to himself: "It seems that this place is Yuexi County... At the beginning, I withdrew from the Nanman, ordered you to return to the tribe, and temporarily stopped fighting. Now I return to the Nanman, and you will return to my account to fight the Nanman."
"Gao Ding immediately leads his troops to attack the city of Yuexi County!"
After the original Mu Ke came back, Gao Ding immediately betrayed Liu Bei.
The rebellious Gao Ding of Yuexi County bowed his knees in front of Mu Ke, and like a mad dog, he led the southern barbarians to open the way for Mu Ke and attacked the city of Yueyi County.
"If I, Huo An, return to the Central Plains, I must ask Chu Zimou for more money..."
Huo An successfully led 100,000 Mongolian cavalry across the western Sichuan plateau and entered the Nanman. At this time, they were stubbled like savages.
