Chapter 876

In the Nanman area, Dianchi City in Yizhou County, Liu Bei's army approached the city. The Nanman tribal army was repeatedly defeated, and Liu Bei's military advisers Wang Meng and Chen Xi counted many times. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's troops finally advanced to the city of Dianchi.

"The generals of the Southern Barbarians come out to fight Grandpa!"

Zhang Fei held the Zhangba Snake Spear and called out for battle below the city. For a while, no one in the Southern Barbarian army dared to go out of the city to fight against him.

"I'll kill it!"

Wu Tugu saw that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had overwhelmed the Nanman. Among the generals of the Nanman, he was the only one with military strength, barely capable of fighting alone with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

"Don't fight, or rather, Liu Bei wants us to fight."

Mu Ke stopped Wu Tugu who wanted to go out of the city to fight.

Wu Tugu was no match for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in any case.

The combination of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei is enough to defeat Lu Bu.

In fact, there is no need for Liu Bei to intervene in the battle between the Three Kingdoms and Lu Bu, and it will become a burden instead.

"Chu Zimou annexed Guanzhong and Xiliang, and dominated the north. Only Liaodong was left unsettled, and its power was comparable to that of Cao Wei at its peak. No, it may be more powerful than Cao Wei at its peak, because Chu Zimou controlled Monan. , Mobei, and has a strong control over the various tribes. He should not need us to continue to contain Liu Bei here, we need to retreat."

Huo An came to the tower, put one hand on the vicissitudes of battlements, and looked down at the endless Liu Bei's army.

He teamed up with Mu Ke and adopted guerrilla tactics to prevent Liu Bei from advancing, which has delayed enough time for Chu Tian to concentrate on destroying either Lao Qin or Ming Pass and complete the break.

Originally, Huo An and Mu Ke thought that Chutian would be the first to pacify Liaodong, but instead, Chutian took advantage of the opportunity of Lao Qin's death to pacify Guanzhong and Xiliang first, and expand the sphere of influence to the northwest.

Their mission has been accomplished.

"Ban Chao and Gao Xianzhi, who stayed behind in Dawan Kingdom, sent people to report many times. Wo Kuotai recruited troops in Central Asia and recruited generals who were defeated by various civilizations. Ban Chao and Gao Xianzhi couldn't contain it either, what they were facing was not scattered small countries in the Western Regions, but a new grassland empire, which was disturbing."

Huo An did not pay attention to the Nanban area.

Compared with the threats encountered by the Protectorate of the Western Regions,

The tug-of-war in the Nanban area is nothing.

"Has Temujin's recruitment order from all over the world issued a few years ago started to take effect?"

Mu Ke also knew that before Temujin's Mongol Empire collapsed, in order to fight against the princes of the Han Empire, Temujin once issued a recruitment order to all civilizations to absorb generals from all civilizations. It's just that at that time, the military generals of each civilization had their own lords, and not many famous generals responded to Temujin.

"It shouldn't be that Temujin's recruitment orders from all over the world are effective. Okudei and his subordinates are wooing various forces in various civilized areas. The defeated people of various civilizations can take refuge under his command. The grasslands established by Okuotai The empire is the refuge of rebels in all civilized areas. The rebels in various civilized areas can even establish a prairie empire in Wo Kuotai. With this method, Wo Kuotai has absorbed a group of ambitious people. As the second Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, Wo Kuotai has some tricks. This is also where Wo Kuotai is difficult to deal with. The failure of the last battle of the Western Regions and the Battle of Mobei taught Wo Kuotai a lesson."

"If this continues, Wokuotai's empire will cut off the connection between the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent. The Dawan Kingdom and the Ili River Valley controlled by the Western Regions Protectorate will all be exposed to the soldiers of the Wokuotai Empire. Losing Dawan The country needs to cross the Congling Mountains, lose the Ili River Valley, and need to cross the Tianshan Mountains. In order to avoid organizing another expedition, I must go back to the Western Regions Protectorate to monitor Wo Kuotai's every move."

Huo An was already a little uneasy.

A hegemon was born in Central Asia, and the influence of the Protectorate of the Western Regions in Central Asia dropped significantly.

"No matter what, we have completed the task Chu Zimou assigned us. Leave some hidden dangers for Liu Bei, and then go to the Western Regions Protectorate."

Mu Ke also thinks that the Protectorate of the Western Regions is more important.

The Mongolian Empire rebuilt by Wo Kuotai is more like a Turkic empire, with more Turkic cavalry than Mongolian cavalry.

She recruited Meng Ba and other trusted leaders of the Nanman tribe, and ordered: "If Liu Bei wants to pacify Nanzhong, he must win over all of you. You can make false claims for now. In the future, when I return to Nanzhong, everyone will respond."

"The prefect wants to abandon us?"

The chiefs of several Nanman tribes looked at each other in blank dismay.

Mu Ke couldn't keep the Dianchi Lake, and had already planned to retreat to the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

Between the Protectorate of the Western Regions and Nanman, Huo An and Mu Ke chose to protect the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

Not only that, after Xu Fengnian took back Liangzhou, Huo An recalled General Huo Qubing to defend Dawan Kingdom and deter Wo Kuotai.

"When I leave Nanzhong, Liu Bei will relax."

Mu Ke had no choice. The leaders of the Nanman tribe she controlled, as well as the tyrants in southern Yizhou, sent Liu Bei many heads, but Liu Bei's army still came to Dianchi Lake.

Dianchi Lake is under siege. Once she is captured by Liu Bei, the Nanman area will be completely pacified by Liu Bei. As long as Mu Ke is still alive, it will not be easy for Liu Bei to conquer the Nanman area.

Mu Ke temporarily went to the Protectorate of the Western Regions to avoid the limelight, and her prestige over the various tribes of the Southern Man was still there.

The powerful Yong Kai asked: "I heard that King Xia unified the north and we resisted Liu Bei's offensive. If King Xia can succeed in the future, can we make meritorious deeds?"

"Naturally, it will be credited."

"Many tribes have returned to peace for the time being, and surrendered to Yizhou Muchen, waiting for me to come back."

Before Mu Ke withdrew from the Nanban area, he made deployments.

"This trip is going to the Protectorate of the Western Regions..."

Qin Liangyu received Mu Ke's order.

Although the Northern War is not over yet, there is no suspense about Chutian's victory. After buying time for Chutian, Mu Ke fully assisted Huo An in stabilizing the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

The pressure brought by the Wokuotai Empire was unprecedented. The shadow of the Mongol Empire was cast, and the Western Regions Protectorate was shrouded in shadow.

"Zhu Rong, do you want to go to the Western Regions with your sister?"

Qin Liangyu took in the young Mrs. Zhu Rong.

"Take her."

Mu Ke appeared and asked Qin Liangyu to take Zhu Rong away without waiting for Zhu Rong's answer.

Not only that, but the young Meng Huo and other descendants of several large southern barbarian tribes were all taken away by Mu Ke, reducing the possibility of these tribes being wooed by Liu Bei in the future.

"Western Region?"

Zhu Rong didn't know the world beyond the Nanban.

Mu Ke's elite army is assembled, ready to break out of the encirclement,

Liu Bei's siege of Dianchi Lake is bound to win.

There was a lot of shouting and killing, and Wudang's flying army responded outside the city and joined the defenders inside the city. Mu Ke successfully broke out of the encirclement.

Wudang Feijun desperately blocked Liu Beijun, buying enough time for Mu Ke to retreat.

In the south of Dianchi Lake, there is another city with a teleportation array as a retreat.

Mu Ke only took away the elite troops, and withdrew from Nanman to the Western Regions Protectorate within two or three days.

In addition, when Liu Bei advanced to Dianchi Lake, Mu Ke had already begun to transfer his troops and gold and silver to the Western Regions Protectorate. Liu Bei's army was still unable to annihilate the main force of the Southern Barbarian army, and Mu Ke took away the gold, silver and weapons from Dianchi Lake.

After Mu Ke was deployed, he left the Nanman, and the various Nanman tribes dispersed and returned to their respective tribes.

What was left to Liu Bei was a seemingly peaceful Yizhou County.

After all the Nanman tribes subsided, the Nanman War came to an end. Liu Bei's army paid a considerable price and still won, but under the calm, there was still an undercurrent.

The Nanman tribe living in the deep mountains and old forests only surrendered on the surface, and they haven't been injured yet.

"I heard that Chu Zimou has already annexed Guanzhong and Xiliang. It took me a lot of time to pacify Yizhou County."

In order to capture Mu Ke's main city, Liu Bei paid a considerable price.

"In today's world situation, it is a foregone conclusion that Chu Zimou will dominate the north. It will be a matter of time before Liaodong will be pacified. The Lord will rule Bashu, and the King of Wu will rule Jiangdong. I am afraid that the world will be divided into three parts. An Yangsu, capture Hanzhong before you can compete with King Xia."

Wang Meng found that before he knew it, the world had changed from being divided into three kingdoms.

It's just that, the strength of Chutian's power, no matter Yizhou, Jingzhou, or Yangzhou, is like facing a big enemy.

When Chutian completely cleans up some of the remaining forces in the north, the next unlucky one will most likely be Liu Bei.

Both Wang Meng and Chen Xi were aware of this.

As northern princes, if they want to unify the Han Empire, they usually take Sichuan and Shu first, then go down the river, take Jingzhou and Jiangdong, and then conquer Baiyue.

There are exceptions. For example, Cao Cao's strategy is to take Jingzhou first, and then hunt Soochow.

But Cao Cao suffered the defeat of Chibi.

If the troops are strong enough, they can also attack from Sichuan, Shu and Jingxiang at the same time.

When Kublai Khan destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty in the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian army was divided into two groups and attacked Chengdu and Xiangyang at the same time.

As long as the force is strong enough, fighting on two fronts is not impossible.

During the peak period of the Mongol Empire, multi-line warfare was the norm.

In 1235 AD, when Wo Kuotai was the Great Khan of the Mongolian Empire, the Mongolian army divided into two groups to attack the Song Dynasty. fight...

Multi-line combat is also enough to prove the strength of a dynasty's force. The peak period of the Mongol Empire was actually more terrifying than most people imagined, and the pressure faced by various civilizations was enormous.

In any case, Sichuan and Shu, represented by Liu Bei, are likely to be Chutian's next goal after sweeping the north, and Chutian may even reappear the battle between Yuan and Song Dynasty, with a two-pronged approach.

Liu Bei began to panic.

The force of the Chutian forces is strong enough to support multi-line operations.

At the same time, Chutian fought against the two northern princes Jiu Laoqin and Mingguan, which has proved that Chutian has the ability to fight on at least two fronts. After annexing the forces of Guanzhong and Xiliang, even if Chutian has the ability to fight on three fronts Not surprisingly.

Chutian is already thinking about reorganizing the legion. This time Chutian mainly divides the legion according to the region.
