Chapter 221: 30,000 Wuhuan Army
Meeting Zhao Yun was a complete surprise. Although Zhao Yun did not agree to join him, Zhang Yu was not in a hurry.
"At worst, when the system wakes up, I'll exchange for a famous general card. Anyway, Zhao Yun won't be able to run away." Zhang Yu planned that if Zhao Yun didn't vote in the end, then Zhang Yu would use the famous general card to recruit.
Time was running out, so Zhang Yu directly ordered a quick march and arrived at Xiangping City in half a day.
This Xiangping City is the governor of Liaodong, but when Zhang Yu entered, he frowned.
Xiangping City was dilapidated, and the city walls were damaged in several places.
There are less than 30,000 residents in the city, and only more than 1,000 soldiers.
A county, this population, this number of soldiers, is too bad.
More importantly, Zhang Yu sent people to the warehouse to look at it. There was a shortage of supplies, and even less food.
Zhang Yu took up the position of prefect on the day he arrived. Since the previous prefect had already escaped, there was no need to hand over the handover.
"The situation is too bad." After learning about the situation overnight, Zhang Yu was also a little anxious.
Zhang Yu summoned several of his subordinates and at the same time called Zhao Yun.
"Guys, the situation in Liaodong is really bad. We must repel this Wuhuan attack first. The Wuhuan people may be killed within three days at the earliest." Zhang Yu first explained the current situation.
Several people had heard what Zhao Yun said during the day, and knew that the situation was urgent.
"We must act immediately and make arrangements in the shortest possible time to meet Wuhuan's invasion."
Several people said at the same time: "But according to the master's order."
Zhao Yun also said that he would let Zhang Yu send him around.
Zhang Yu nodded and began to assign tasks.
"Yuan Tan, three thousand soldiers and horses will be assigned to you, and you will immediately count the materials in the city and collect some usable materials." Zhang Yu ordered.
"Yes, my lord." Gu Yong stood up and clasped his fists in response.
Zhang Yu nodded, looked at Huang Zhong again, and said, "Han Sheng, I will allocate two thousand troops to you, and immediately dig a few trenches outside the city to stop Wuhuan's cavalry."
After Zhang Yu gave the order, he looked at Guo Jia and said: "Feng Xiao, I will allocate a thousand troops to you, and immediately find a way to understand the situation in Liaodong. Now time is urgent, first understand some conditions around Xiangping City, and report the population of the surrounding villages. They were all transferred to the city."
Guo Jia took the order, and Zhang Yu looked at Zhao Yun again and said, "Zilong, the enemy is now at hand, so I won't treat you as an outsider."
Zhao Yun nodded, and asked Zhang Yu to give instructions. Zhang Yu was not polite, and ordered: "Zilong, I will give you all the more than one hundred scouts, and you will take people north immediately. Be sure to understand the movements of the Wuhuan people. Find out when they will arrive and how many will be there."
Zhang Yu and the others had just arrived and were not familiar with the situation here, so it was most appropriate for Zhao Yun to go there.
"Okay, Yun will definitely live up to the entrustment." Zhao Yun naturally knew the importance of the matter and did not refuse.
Zhang Yu finally ordered: "Come on, I will hand over the rest of the people to you. Immediately strengthen the city wall, and do whatever you can before the arrival of the Wuhuan people."
Everything was arranged, and several people took the order to prepare overnight.
And Zhang Yu didn't take a break either, and transferred various materials in the prefect's mansion to learn about the situation as soon as possible.
After some understanding, Zhang Yu's heart became heavier.
"There are less than 200,000 people in the entire county, and this is the situation half a year ago." After reading the population data of Liaodong, Zhang Yu knew how weak Liaodong is.
A county with a population of only about 30,000 people.
There are nine counties in Xiangping City, and the other counties only have more than 10,000 people. Including some villages, the population of Liaodong is less than 200,000.
This is 200,000 from half a year ago, and the Wuhuan people have invaded several times in the past six months, so the situation may be even worse.
Not to mention fiscal and taxation, there is not much money in the warehouse now, not even the most basic military pay for soldiers.
Today's Liaodong can be said to be a mess, with nothing.
Zhang Yu sighed repeatedly.
"It's no wonder even the eunuch wants to run away. Once this Wuhuan man comes to Xiangping City, he will definitely not be able to keep it. To be such a eunuch,
Really bad. "
Although the situation in Liaodong is bad, Zhang Yu is now the prefect, so he has to do something.
"Development must wait for repelling Wuhuan's attack." Zhang Yu shook his head, pushed the files aside, and walked out of the room.
At this time, it was almost dawn, and Zhang Yu and the others stayed up all night.
Not only him, but all the soldiers he brought were busy.
Zhang Yu asked Gu Yong to mobilize the people and ask them to help. These soldiers had traveled a long distance from Kuaiji County to Liaodong. They were already very tired and had to rest, otherwise they would not have the strength to fight the Wuhuan people.
Everyone started to get busy, Zhang Yu arranged for half of the soldiers to rest and half to continue preparations.
…
At the junction of Xuantu County and Liaodong, there is a 30,000-strong army entrenched.
"Report to the chief, the imperial court of the Han people has come to support, the number is at least two thousand." In the big tent of the Wuhuan chief, a centurion reported.
This person is the centurion who fought with Zhang Yu and the others.
They were ordered to take the team south to check for news.
When the people along the road saw Wuhuan's cavalry coming, no matter how many they were, they all ran away. This made them very proud, so they went to loot the village when they saw it.
Just happened to meet Zhao Yun passing by, Zhao Yun attacked them and was chased by them, so he went all the way south, and finally met Zhang Yu and the others.
"Haha, the court of the Han people is really useless, sending thousands of people to stop our Wuhuan warriors." The big leader laughed indifferently.
"Yes, the Han people are weak, and our small team can break through their county." The centurion also said.
The big leader obviously didn't take Zhang Yu and the others seriously.
"But we have to kill these people first. Although there is no threat to us, I like the prestige of killing them. It will scare the Han people and make them obedient." The big leader said, licking his lips.
In his eyes, the Han had no combat power at all, and Zhang Yu and his army were naturally regarded as something he could kill if he wanted to.
"Give me an order to go south immediately and plunder Xiangping City." The chief ordered.
In the big tent, there were three commanders and many commanders, and the eyes of each of them began to shine.
Looting the cities of the Han people is their favorite.
Wealth, women, everything for them to have immediately.
This kind of thing is also what they like to do most.
The chief's order was conveyed quickly, and the entire Wuhuan camp was boiling, and there were clamoring Wuhuan people everywhere.
Several hours later, the Wuhuan people began to head south.
A day and a half later, Zhao Yun also received the news and sent it back at the same time.
Two days later, Zhang Yu also got specific information.
"Thirty thousand Wuhuan army, it's not easy to deal with." Zhang Yu didn't expect that he would be attacked by the Wuhuan army just two days after he took office.
