Chapter 554

"Zi Yang, it will take at least half a month to get to Yelang from here. How long will it take to go back and forth?"

"Now that Qiongdu is being attacked by Gao Ding, Zijing and the others only have 10,000 people, can they persist until we support them?"

Liu Zhang wasn't worried that the city would be attacked head-on. After all, relying on Zhang Liao's ability, defending the city was not a big problem. Mainly food.

Gao Ding surrounded Qiongdu tightly, and it is still unknown how long the food and grass in the city can last.

"My lord, Gao Ding of Yuexi County is a barbarian. After defeating him, Gao Ding can still coerce the barbarians to fight us. Zhu Bao is a family, representing the power of the family in Cang County."

"After defeating Zhu Bao, Zangcang County can be quickly pacified, and it can also deter suspicious barbarians in the county. From a strategic point of view, it is undoubtedly the best choice."

There is nothing wrong with Liu Ye's thoughts, but Qiongdu must not sit idly by.

"Ziyang, you take Zilong and Huweiying to support Zijing, and I will personally go to Yelang and destroy Zhu Bao!"

It's not that Liu Zhang was reluctant to give Liu Ye soldiers and horses. After Zhu Ti passed, the cavalry had less and less room to play. Liu Zhang was going to let Tai Shici surrender to the counties of Zang Cang County.

"That being the case, my lord, be careful!"

Liu Ye had no objection, and was even a little excited. After all, it was the first time he took the initiative to lead the army!

"Zilong, you must be careful when you go to Qiong, and listen to the opinions of the military advisor in everything."

For Zhao Yun and Liu Zhang, he is still very relieved. With his cautious temperament, there will never be any major problems.

"My lord, don't worry!"

Lu Su, Zhang Liao plus Liu Ye, Zhao Yun, I believe it is enough to drink a pot.

"Zi Yang, Gao Ding is a capricious person, you don't have to be soft when fighting him! Once Gao Ding dies, the barbarians of Yuexi County will be subdued."

Even Zhuge Liang, who used the strategy of attacking Nanzhong, didn't let go of the old Gao Ding, so he can imagine what Gao Ding is like.

It must be uneducable!

"Remember it!"

Without hesitation, Liu Ye immediately headed to Yuexi County with Zhao Yun and Huweiying. Liu Zhang collected the surrendered soldiers and escorted them back to Zhu Ti City.

After a brief revision, and ordered Yan Yan to assign Qiang as a vassal state again, Liu Zhang led Dianwei, Tai Shici and two battalions of soldiers and horses under his command to set off for Zangcang County.

Liu Zhang's troops were divided into two groups. On the one hand, he personally led Dianwei and the Wuwei camp to attack Yelang along the Zangcang River, and on the other hand, Tai Shici led the Wufeng camp to raid Qielan, Zhu Bao's old nest.

Liu Zhang, like a divine soldier descending from heaven, led his army directly into Zhu Bao's camp at night. Zhu Bao's army was defenseless and fell into chaos.

Zheng Du, who was stationed in Yelang City, was keenly aware of the news of Liu Zhang's surprise attack, and immediately ordered Zhang Ren to lead his troops out of the city to attack Zhu Bao's army with Liu Zhang.

Dian Wei slaughtered all directions in Zhu Bao's camp, and single-handedly went straight to the commander's tent, and finally beheaded Zhu Bao, the leader of the bandit.

Most of the 20,000 Zhu Bao troops were killed or injured, and the rest surrendered.

After Tai Shici led the army to approach Qieran, after investigation, it was found that Qieran's guards were weak, and almost all the elites were transferred away by Zhu Bao.

Tai Shici had an idea, and he sneaked into Qilan with soldiers and civilians, and then he succeeded in occupying Qilan with internal and external cooperation.

Zhu Bao's family was caught off guard and all were arrested. So far, the Zhu family, the top aristocratic family in Cang County, was completely destroyed by Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang did not stop after destroying Zhu Bao, and ordered Zhang Ren to conquer the surrounding counties, and then led his army to Wudan himself to force Yizhou County.

At the same time, Gaoding, the king of Yi who revolted against Liu Zhang in Yuexi County, had been successfully defeated.

As early as when Liu Zhang fought against Yongzheng, Lu Su had already made plans to defeat the enemy.

Long before Gaoding besieged Qiongdu, Lu Su ordered Zhang Liao to lead an army of one thousand to ambush outside the city, specifically to attack Gaoding's grain road.

Zhang Liao is not jealous when faced with the mountains of grain, and must burn it all every time.

Gao Ding was furious, and sent many troops to look for Yang Huai, but unfortunately every time there was no result.

This continued for more than a month, and there were frequent shortages of food in the Gaoding army, and the barbarian soldiers also rioted from time to time because of hunger.

Gao Ding not only has no patience to appease, but often uses brutal means to suppress.

As time went on, the grievances in the army became deeper and deeper.

Gao Ding originally intended to withdraw from the army, but Lu Su cleverly gave Gao Ding an illusion that the city of Qiongdu would be destroyed soon!

It is such a belief that Gao Ding has always gritted his teeth and persisted.

Finally, the barbarians couldn't stand the day-long hunger and Gao Ding's moody brutal killings anymore, and began to flee in groups of three or four.

Once the deserters appeared, they could not be stopped. In just a few days, more than 10,000 soldiers fled. Most of them were barbarians who hijacked other tribes.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Lu Su immediately contacted Zhang Liao outside the city to prepare for the final decisive battle.

In this battle Zhang Liao was extremely brave and led a thousand soldiers to assault the Gaoding barracks with 20,000 barbarians. The general camp was turned upside down.

The barbarian soldiers were thrown into chaos, and even bombed the camp!

Lu Su seized the fleeting opportunity and ordered Leng Bao to lead the Hanxing Camp in Qiongdu City to raid the Gaoding Army Camp for the second time.

Gao Ding's army was in disarray, the morale and morale of the army collapsed immediately, and the 20,000 barbarians dispersed. Seeing that the situation was over, Gao Ding hurriedly fled with the warriors of his own tribe, trying to make a comeback in the future.

Coincidentally, I happened to have face-to-face contact with Liu Ye, Zhao Yun and Huweiying!

Liu Ye immediately concluded that this was Gaoding's defeat, and he was fleeing in a hurry. Zhao Yun was also unambiguous, and immediately led the whole army to press up, not only shooting Gao Ding, but also capturing all the barbarians around Gao Ding.

Lu Su and Liu Ye attacked from both sides by coincidence, not only killed the barbarian leader Gao Ding, but also wiped out all the soldiers under his command.

Gao Ding died and all his followers were captured. This also represented the destruction of the largest barbarian force in Yuexi County.

Lu Su made a decisive decision and immediately asked Zhang Liao to lead an army to raid Gaoding's old nest, Dingcha, and captured all the Gaoding tribe, and got 100,000 barbarians, old and young.

Following the fall of Yongzheng, Gaoding, and Zhu Bao, the barbarians in the three counties were shaken, and no one dared to offend Liu Zhang's tiger beard. They all chose to hide their flags and retreat into the mountains, for fear that Liu Zhang would miss him.

In view of Liu Zhang's destruction of Yongzheng under the city of Zhuti, he provoked a war between the Yong clan, the Zhurong clan, and the Meng clan.

Lu Su and Liu Ye agreed that Lu Su, Zhang Liao, and Yang Huai would stay in Qiongdu to start the matter of surrendering the barbarians, starting with Gaoding's 100,000 tribes.

Liu Ye, together with Zhao Yun and Huweiying, attacked Sanjie County, preparing to cooperate with Liu Zhang to threaten Yizhou County.

In May, Liu Zhang stationed in Wudan, and Liu Ye stationed in Sanjiao, forming an east-west attack on Yizhou County.

Liu Zhang did not order an immediate attack, but stationed his troops in the city.

Now it is the scorching heat of summer, and the weather in Nanzhong is so hot that it is really impossible to fight. Moreover, after the news of Yongzheng's death spread throughout Yizhou County, there was no news for a long time.

Liu Zhang's army had won consecutive battles and their morale was strong, but they were short of troops, so they had to wait until the Yong clan, the Zhu Rong clan, and the Meng clan went to war.

In this way, a situation of attack from all sides can be formed. If Zhu Rong's family attacks the Yong family of Yizhou County from the inside, it will definitely be able to calm down Yizhou County in one go.
