Chapter 117: The soldiers head to the south

In the spring of the 18th year of Jian'an, the 213th AD.

The barbarians in southern Xichuan rebelled and captured several places in just one month. Until they attacked Zhuti County, they met the general Zhang He, and then stopped their advancement north.

Within a month, the Southern Barbarians conquered Huizhou, Luzhou and Xichang, and Jianning County, Jingzhou County and Yuezhou County surrendered. The prefects of the three counties, Zhu Bao, Gao Ding, and Yong Kai, became the guides of the barbarian army to attack Zhu Ti.

He was defeated by Zhu Ti's guard general Zhang He for a while with an ambush, and the rebel general Yong Kai was killed by Zhang He on the spot.

Speaking of which, the prefects of these three counties were appointed by Liu Zhang when he was in office. After Liu Bei took over Yizhou, he was busy with the construction of Yizhou. His attention to remote places was far less important than that of Yizhou.

After a rough investigation, he saw that these three people had good political achievements, so he continued to let them stay. Xue Bing, who knew the history of the Three Kingdoms, never remembered that these three people had rebelled with the Southern Barbarians.

He only remembered that Meng Huo would rebel. As for whom there would be any involvement in the specific rebellion, he didn't remember it at all.

Then Meng Huo personally led the army to the scene, and the two armies fought a battle outside Zhuti County. Zhang He used some light troops to directly capture the enemy's rear and attacked Yuezhi County. Meng Huo had to lead the troops to retreat. Zhang He had few soldiers under him, and there was no extra force to continue pursuing him.

Now that the troops under his command are divided into two counties, the troops are already in short supply, and people are busy looking for Chengdu to be in a hurry.

But in the south, Zhang Heli looked down at the top of Yuezhi City. More than 100,000 barbarians were densely packed outside the city, and they divided into dozens of battalions, surrounding Yuezhi County.

Fortunately, I urgently reported it and sent it out before the barbarian army surrounded it. Otherwise, I would like to fight out and send a military newspaper now, and I don’t know how many soldiers would have to sacrifice.

Standing at the top of the city, Zhang He suddenly saw thousands of soldiers running out of the enemy camp. These people were dressed in armor and had clear flags, and they were obviously Han troops. The general was the first. It was Zhu Bao, the prefect of Jianning.

Zhu Bao heard Zhu Bao decide to the city's general Male and shouted to the top of the city: "Zhang He, if I don't open the city to surrender, I will lead my army to attack the city. When the city is broken, all the people in the city will slaughter it."

Upon hearing this, Zhang He cursed angrily on the city: "Zhu Bao, you are a Han person. You are a Han official. Now you are a foreign tribe who invades the border of our Han Dynasty. I will kill you!" After saying that, he snatched a bow from the left and right, took an arrow and shot an arrow down the city.

Zhu Bao did not expect Zhang He to kill him, so he immediately shot him with a bow and arrow. He only thought that this distance was safe at first, but underestimated Zhang He's shooting skills.

There was only a scream. The arrow hit Zhu Bao's right chest and shot through the breastplate and went straight into the flesh. It was obvious that Zhang He was extremely angry and used a lot of strength. Zhu Bao was shot by an arrow and fell down from his horse.

When the soldiers on both sides saw that the chief general was caught in an arrow, they hurriedly came to rescue him. However, they didn't care about siege and hurriedly retreated to the camp.

When Zhang He saw Yijiang retreating to the enemy, he felt a little calm. He said to himself: "Now our army has few soldiers, the bandit army is powerful, and there are also rebel generals as the leader, which is really hard to resist.

It would be better to abandon this city, concentrate troops and defend Zhuti to the death?" As soon as this idea came out, he immediately rejected it himself. "No, now it is a battle with the barbarians. No matter how can we present the city of Han to the barbarians.

Even if you die, you have to die in this city.”…

Xue Bing stood in the courtyard, supervising the practice of the two children. Now that she has practiced for several days, the two children have become accustomed to spending a considerable amount of time every day to practice martial arts.

And after watching so many days, Xue Bing also gained a rough understanding of the development direction of his two children.

Xue Ning is good at chopping, and she will hit it almost every time she cuts. Xue Bing asks him to practice chopping every day, and the others are secondary. Xue Qing is good at stabbing. No matter which angle or position, she can hit the target well.

After Xue Bing discovered this, she smiled bitterly in her heart and said, "Did these two children split my talent?"

Just when Xue Bing was still wondering how his two children would develop in the future, King Liu Bei of Hanzhong received an emergency military report from Zhu Ti’s general Zhang He, and urgently asked Xue Bing to discuss matters in the royal palace. Xue Bing received a message from King of Hanzhong and hurried to the royal palace.

When he arrived at the General Office, the generals also arrived one after another. It seemed that Liu Bei had recruited all the military generals and civil officials who remained in Chengdu.

After the civil and military gathered, Liu Bei nodded to Zhuge Liang and heard Zhuge Liang say, "Now, Zhang He, the general of Zhuti, urgently report.

It is said that Meng Huo, the new barbarian king in the south, rebelled 100,000 barbarian soldiers. Yong Kai, the prefect of Jianning County, Zhu Bao, the prefect of Jixian County, and Gao Ding, the prefect of Yueshi County, all surrendered, and appointed the guide of the barbarian army to advance to Zhu Ti.

The lord general Zhang He first defeated the rebel general Yong Kai, and killed him on the spot, and then seized Yuezhi County again. It was now that General Zhang He was confronting the barbarian army in Yuezhi County. The barbarian army was very anxious to siege, so he submitted a letter to Chengdu for help.

After this statement, the ministers were in an uproar because the King of Hanzhong has now mobilized most of the troops to station in northern Sichuan. Who knows this? Even many civil and military officials said that the King of Hanzhong was preparing for the future Northern Expedition.

Now the army of the King of Hanzhong is heading north, with only tens of thousands of troops remaining in the south, and there are still places to guard the place. Where can the army come from to fight the rebellion in a while? Therefore, these people's sadness is all over the surface.

There were only a few people in the hall with the expressions of the unchanged expressions. These people were naturally the ones who knew that the Southern Barbarians would be the opposite. Liu Bei looked at the civil and military officials at the top. Seeing that Liu Bei had a calm face, they seemed to have already made plans, they gradually calmed down.

After the General Office was quiet again, Liu Bei said: "Now the barbarian king in the south rebelled and invaded our Han border. He must not tolerate it. Moreover, General Zhang He was fighting with foreign tribes in the south to protect our Han people's cities and counties. I decided to send a large army south to save General Zhang He.

Then take advantage of the situation to go south and pacify the south."

As soon as this was said, all the civil and military officials said, "What the king said is very true. We should pacify the south as soon as possible, and call the ignorant barbarians to know the power of our great Han."

There were countless war generals who came out to ask for battle. In the end, Zhuge Liang said: "I think the rebellion of the Southern Barbarians is a great problem. If it is not eradicated as soon as possible, the Northern Expedition may be destroyed in the future. I am willing to lead the army and go south to pacify the barbarians."

Those who were all civil and military officials and military officials from all over the world were rejected. After no one said anything, Liu Bei said: "If the military advisor leaves, the south can be settled." He then ordered the military advisor Zhuge Liang to be the commander, lead the army of 15000 troops to go south to pacify the barbarians.

Xue Bing was also appointed as the deputy commander to help Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang and Xue Bing made their own decisions on the other accompanying generals.

As soon as this order was released, all civil and military officials knew that the great affairs of Pingnan had been handed over to Zhuge Liang. Although Xue Bing was the deputy commander, Zhuge Liang must decide the major affairs. Afterwards, Liu Bei shut down everyone, leaving only Zhuge Liang and Xue Bing.

After looking at the two people, Liu Bei said, "I am now in charge of all the major affairs of Pingnan in my hands. If you respond to anything in Pingnan, you can decide on your own." As soon as this statement came out, Xue Bing realized how much power Zhuge Liang had in Pingnan this time.

By making a decision by himself, Zhuge Liang decided on his own. But he forgot that what Liu Bei said was decided by the two of them, and that he also included it.

However, Xue Bing thought that it was okay to lead troops to fight and kill enemies in battle, but then to manage people's livelihood? It seems that it has nothing to do with him.

Xue Bing stood in the hall and saw Liu Bei telling Zhuge Liang something, so he thought about the opponent in this battle in his heart. Meng Huo? According to the Romance, he is an opponent with only brute force but no wisdom.

However, when we head south, our army faced the fatal problem of unfamiliarity with the terrain. It seemed that someone presented a map of the southern barbarian land in the Romance, but now where are you looking for that thing?

Liu Bei said: "Now that the Feiyu Army has been established, I ordered two hundred Feiyu Army to go south with the military advisor and Zihan. These two hundred Feiyu soldiers were handed over to Zihan. I believe that with this elite soldier, it is possible to ensure that the military advisor and Zihan are safe.

"After saying that, he called Xue Bing forward and handed over the special military talisman that mobilized Fei Yu to his hands.

Xue Bing received the military talisman, gave another bow, and then retreated. Liu Bei said again: "The matter of Pingnan is now handed over to you!"...

However, Zhuge Liang and Xue Bing took the order of the king and left the palace, and hurried to Zhuge Liang's military advisor's mansion. Then they sent someone to inform the generals of the army to go to the military advisor's mansion to discuss matters.

Before the generals came, Xue Bing sat in the hall with Zhuge Liang and discussed the matter of going south.

Xue Bing said: "Now General Zhang He is trapped in Yuezhi County, our army should go quickly, but I don't know where the army is now stationed?" Zhuge Liang was responsible for the secret mobilization of the army, so Xue Bing did not know the details.

Moreover, Xue Bing only cares about spending time with her family these days, but she doesn't care too much about those things.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "I thought Zi Han would not care about these trivial matters early. I have marked these clearly on this map, and Zi Han will know it at a glance." After that, he took out a map and handed it to Xue Bing.

Xue Bing took the drawings and looked carefully. She saw a large dot in Jialing County. When Xue Bing looked at it, she knew that Zhuge Liang had already stationed the army here. After looking at it for a while, she asked, "Who is the one in Jialing County now commanding the troops?"

Zhuge Liang said: "It is to prohibit the article."

When Xue Bing heard this, she smiled and said, "I think Yu Jin and the army are no longer here!"

Zhuge Liang shook his fan and said with a smile: "When General Yu led his troops here, I told General Yu that if the Southern Barbarians rebelled, they could make decisions based on the situation. I believe that with my literary talent, I would not lead the army to rescue General Zhang He."

Xue Bing said: "In this way, we just need to go straight to Yuezhi County."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "That's exactly that."

The two of them talked for a moment, and Zhang Yi and Pang Degu arrived. Zhuge Liang gave a brief order and agreed to set off tomorrow morning. The only two hundred flying feathers accompanied him were on a boat to Zhuti.
