Chapter 542: Final Results

One month later, Liu Zhang, who had been waiting for a long time in Bodao, finally received the good news from Xun You.

"Hahaha, as expected of Gongda! He actually asked for such a large amount of compensation!"

Liu Zhang was so overjoyed, which also aroused the curiosity of Liu Ye and others.

"How much meat did Liu Biao cut this time to make the Lord so excited?"

Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Tai Shici also looked at Liu Zhang, and their eyes were also beaming with joy.

"Two million grains, fifty million dollars, one hundred warships, two hundred craftsmen, all with their families!"

"Gongda wanted far more than this, but Jingzhou really couldn't afford to pay, so he finally took out 10,000 sets of armored weapons!"

All of this was far beyond Liu Zhang's expectations. He really did not expect that Liu Biao would be so willing.

"My lord, Jingzhou has given us these supplies, so I think there will be no progress in a few years!"

Through Liu Ye's understanding of Liu Zhang's power, he has been able to roughly guess how much power the world has.

Food and money alone are enough to kill most of Jingzhou!

Although two million stones and fifty million won't empty out Jingzhou's heritage, they are enough to make them tighten their belts for several years.

In the next few years, Liu Biao will not even think about foreign wars. The only thing he can think about is how to keep his position as Jingzhou pastor!

The actual situation was far more serious than Liu Zhang and others expected. This defeat led to a rapid decline in Liu Biao's strength, and the Jingzhou family expanded wantonly.

While Kuai Liang emptied Jingzhou's heritage this time, he also greatly weakened Liu Biao's rule in Jingzhou. If he wanted to secure his position as state shepherd, he had to rely even more on the support of the four major families.

From this moment, it was confirmed that Jingzhou no longer had the power to fight abroad, even if Liu Biao awakened his heart to help the Han Dynasty, it would be useless. So his era ended with two total annihilations.

"Okay, Liangzhou, Jingzhou is no longer threatened, as long as we solve the Nanzhong issue, we can take the first step to unify the world!"

Tai Shici, Zhao Yun, and Dian Wei's eyes were extremely firm. They never doubted whether Liu Zhang had this ability.

"My lord is wise!"

Liu Zhang nodded with a smile, and then looked at Liu Ye who was beside him. These days, they are not doing nothing, on the contrary, they have been inquiring about the situation of Nanzhong.

"Zi Yang, all the rebel forces in Nanzhong must have surfaced. Tell me briefly so we can make a battle plan."

The situation in Nanzhong is different from other places. Not only is the terrain dangerous, but the power situation and relationship are very complicated. Liu Zhang must make plans and move, and he must not capsize in the gutter of Nanban!

"Obey!"

After a period of understanding, Liu Ye found that the situation in Nanzhong was far more complicated than he expected.

"My lord, Yongzheng, Zhuqiao, and Meng Kun are leading 40,000 barbarians and 10,000 Han troops to besiege Zhu Ti, and Yan Yan is leading the army to defend."

"In response to Yongzheng, Zhu Kai of the Zhu family in Zangcang County has united with the barbarians in Zangcang County to raise troops, and is now leading an army of 20,000 to besiege Yelang."

"There is no family rebellion in Yueyi County, but Gao Shuang, a barbarian from Yueyi County, has claimed to be the king of Yi. Most of the barbarians in Yueyi County have joined him. Now he is leading 30,000 barbarians to besiege Qiongdu. Zhang Liao and Lu Su are desperately resisting."

Liu Zhang couldn't help frowning, and he sent three groups of troops, but he didn't expect that all of them were trapped in the city.

"Zi Yang, how is the food and grass situation of the various armies?"

Defending the city is certainly a good strategy, but defending the city means that supplies are limited. Once there is a shortage of food, no matter who is the coach, it is still difficult to save the defeat.

"Don't worry, my lord. Lu Su and Zheng Du have been alert in advance. They have already stockpiled a lot of food and grass in Yelang and Qiongdu, which can last for at least a few months."

Now Liu Zhang felt relieved, as long as there were no problems with food and grass, with the abilities of Zhang Ren and Zhang Liao, it would be safe to defend the city. With the cooperation of Lu Su and Zheng Du, maybe they can break the barbarians.

After all, barbarians are people with well-developed limbs and simple minds.

"Zi Yang, in your opinion, what should we do?"

Bodao is located in an important land and water area, whether it is Zangcai County, Yuexi County or Zhu Ti, who was Qianwei of the Shu Kingdom, there are all roads to follow.

Right now there are strong enemies on three sides, so it is definitely not advisable to divide the troops into three groups, we can only choose one route to attack.

"My lord, there are 100,000 enemy troops at the moment, so don't underestimate them! However, such a large army is already most of the elite of the Nanman. If they are defeated in one fell swoop, they will definitely be able to shock the barbarians and provide great help for us to subdue them in the future."

Liu Zhang stroked his beard lightly and nodded in agreement.

If the Zhurong family and the Meng family can be attached, then the attachment of the barbarians in Yizhou County and Yongchang County will be much easier.

But these are aliens, and they have never been sincerely attached to them. If they are completely convinced, it is inevitable that there will be seven captures and seven attacks!

"Fortunately, the enemies are fighting on their own. Otherwise, facing a hundred thousand barbarians, the pressure is indeed not small!"

Judging from the deployment of troops, there is no doubt that Zhu Kai in Cang County is the least.

However, the road from Bodao to Yelang is also the most difficult and dangerous. Once the battle is unfavorable, it will be extremely difficult to transport food alone.

"My lord, I suggest that the whole army go straight to Zhu Ti and take the lead in attacking Yongzheng, who is famous in Nanzhong. The Yong family has been based in Nanzhong for hundreds of years. Their destruction will definitely shake the ground in Nanzhong and deter those who resist. mind!"

There are indeed many benefits to attacking Yongzheng, but there are also many disadvantages.

The simplest is that Yongzheng is the strongest!

The 50,000 barbarians and the 50,000 Jingzhou army may be different. Their fighting power in the mountains must be extremely amazing.

"Zi Yang, we must strive to win the battle against Yongzheng, otherwise we will have no energy left to conquer the rest of the rebels."

Liu Zhang can mobilize only the five thousand camps in Chengdu.

This battle must not be compromised too much. Whether it is against Yongzheng, Gao Shuang or Zhu Kai, Nanzhong's current strength is the entire strength of Yizhou.

After killing the three of them, these troops will also be needed to go south to Yizhou County and Yongchang County.

Liu Ye was not worried about this, as if he could feel from his confident eyes that he had a plan to defeat the enemy.

"Don't worry, my lord. Although the barbarians are brave, they lack resourcefulness. As long as they show their weakness, they will be able to defeat the enemy!"

"Well, since the military division is so confident, then it's decided."

Fortunately, the Wufeng Camp, Wuwei Camp, and Huwei Camp are all elite troops, and the leading generals are all the top generals at that time!

Even if he tries hard in the end, Liu Zhang is confident that he can wipe them out.

"Notify the whole army that the camp will be pulled out tomorrow, and the soldiers will point directly at Zhu Ti!"

"Obey!"
