- When the generals saw the change in Yan Liang's expression, they immediately became quiet, as if they felt something was wrong.
"My lord, could it be that something happened in Jingzhou?" Lu Meng asked.
Yan Liang's expression returned to normal instantly, he threw the piece of paper on the case and said lightly: "It's nothing, it's just a rebellion by the Wuxi barbarians in Wuling County."
Wuxi barbarians rebelled!
The expressions of all the generals changed, and they all showed a bit of surprise.
Lu Meng took the information on the case sheet and took a closer look. He could not help but frown secretly on the young face.
What Lu Meng held in his hands was an urgent request for help from Liao Li, the prefect of Wuling.
Liao Li reported in an urgent report that the Wuxi barbarians secretly supported the barbarian Samoko as their king, and gathered 20,000 Wuxi barbarians to suddenly rebel. They marched eastward along the Yuanshui River and conquered several counties. A few days ago, Linyuan City, the county seat of Wuling County, was surrounded.
There were so many barbarians, and Liao Li had only two thousand county soldiers under his command. Linyuan City was in danger, so Liao Lizai sent people out of the city before the barbarians besieged the city, and came to Fankou at starry night to ask for help.
The southeastern part of Wuling County is mountainous, and many barbarians live scattered among them. The origin of the Wuxi barbarians is that they are named after the five streams in the upper reaches of Yuanshui River.
These five streams are Xiongxi, Chenxi, Wuxi and other streams. Among them, the Xiongxi tribe is the most powerful, and this Samoko is the leader of the Xiongxi tribe.
These Wuxi barbarians were not accustomed to being kings. Like the Shanyue people in Jiangdong, they gathered in the mountains and forests and rebelled many times.
The difference is that the Wuxi barbarians are not as numerous as Shanyue, and their repeated rebellions have failed to make any waves. They have always been honest since Liu Biao's reign. After Yan Liang captured Jingzhou, the leaders of the Wuxi Barbarians also expressed their loyalty to the new master.
But what slightly surprised Yan Liang was that Wuximan, who was originally quiet and honest, would choose such a critical moment to openly rebel.
It was just a rebellion, but they dared to besiege Wuling County. This was a blatant provocation to Yan Liang's authority.
Yan Liang¡¯s anger was burning, but as the coach, he had to be in front of all the generals. Appear calm and collected.
"Wuxi Man has surrendered for a long time, but now they are rebelling at this juncture. The timing is really strange" Lu Meng's eyes flashed with suspicion.
Yan Liang sneered and said disapprovingly: "What's so strange about this? This must be the trick of Biyanershi. He sent people to sneak into Wuling secretly and incited these barbarians to rebel."
Everyone suddenly realized.
Lu Meng nodded slightly, but then said suspiciously: "The most resourceful people under Sun Quan are none other than Zhou Yu and Lu Su. Zhou Yu is currently recuperating in Wuzhong. Lu Su was imprisoned in Ai County, but I don't know who gave Sun Quan this plan. ¡±
"Could it be him"
A name suddenly flashed across Yan Liang¡¯s mind.
That person is naturally Lu Xun.
The four great governors of Soochow in history have now all appeared, but Lu Xun has not yet appeared.
Based on the history he knew, Yan Liang roughly estimated Lu Xun's age. He was in his early twenties at this time and had almost begun to represent the Jiangdong Lu family. Serve Sun Quan as an official.
Although the original Lu Xun first showed his talents in putting down the Shanyue Rebellion, it was only when Soochow Wu destroyed Guan Yu and captured Jingzhou that he came to the fore and was reused by Sun Quan.
But at this time, the course of history has changed drastically, and even Lu Meng, one of the four major governors of Soochow, has surrendered to him. It is not impossible for such a young Lu Xun to show his talent early.
But these are not important now. What is important is that Shamoko and his Wuxi Barbarians rebelled. How to quell rebellion is the key.
"My lord, Wuling is adjacent to Nanjun. The rebellion of the barbarians cannot be underestimated. The general is willing to lead an army to seek peace." Zhang Liao obliged and immediately stood up to ask for a fight.
Yan Liang did not agree.
Although Zhang Liao is a strong general, his best skill is commanding cavalry in battle. Wuling is a mountainous area, which is not conducive to cavalry deployment. Moreover, Zhang Liao is not familiar with the terrain of Jingnan. It is not the best for him to go to suppress the rebellion. s Choice.
However, Huang Zhong, who is best at fighting at the moment, is fighting Sun Yu, and Wei Yan, who is also good at infantry fighting, is also dragging Lu Su's army in Ai County.
As for the remaining water generals such as L¨¹ Meng, Gan Ning, and Ling Tong, they have to guard against Soochow's water attacks, and they cannot be easily mobilized.
After much calculation, Yan Liang really didn¡¯t have a suitable general around him who could be sent to quell the rebellion.
At this moment, Jia Xu, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said: "The Wuxi barbarians dared to rebel openly because they thought that their lord was in Fankou and had no time to take care of him. Old manThis is because only the army brought by the lord personally goes to suppress the rebellion unexpectedly, which can cause a great shock to the rebels, and in this way, the rebellion can be put down as soon as possible. "
Yan Liang nodded slightly, deeply agreeing with Jia Xu's advice.
After weighing for a moment, Yan Liang stood up suddenly and said loudly: "Wen He's words are reasonable. I have decided to lead an army personally and rush to Wuling to suppress the rebellion. You guys should guard Fankou and do not fight with the Wu people. Just wait for That¡¯s when Ben will return.¡±
Having made up his mind, Yan Liang did not hesitate and led his army from Fankou that day and rushed to Wuling overnight.
Fankou Han's Second Battalion originally had 30,000 troops, including 10,000 infantry troops and 20,000 naval troops. Yan Liang only took away 10,000 infantry troops, as well as Zhou Cang, Hu Che'er and other generals, but Gan Ning and others were left behind. Lu Meng, Jia Xu and other civil and military officials led 20,000 naval troops to guard the camp to prevent the Wu army from taking advantage of the situation to attack.
¡¡
Bachu.
Although Fankou is hundreds of miles away from Wuling, due to the advantage of waterway, Yan Liang's 10,000 troops traveled with the wind and arrived at this important town in Jingnan two days later at dusk.
Baqiu City is located on the east bank of Dongting Lake, controlling the Xiangshui River in the south and the Yangtze River in the north. It is a military town on the front line of the Yangtze River, second only to Xiakou.
If Yan Liang's army starts from Baqiu, crosses Dongting Lake, enters Yuankou, and then moves west along the Yuan River, it will reach Linyuan City, the capital of Wuling County, in a few days.
In Linyuan City, Liao Li and his 2,000 county soldiers had been besieged for many days by 20,000 barbarians led by Shamoko.
The warship slowly sailed into the Baqiu water camp. Before the ship docked, Yan Liang saw Ma Liang and a group of officials waiting on the shore.
After pacifying Jingnan, Yan Liang carved out several counties in northern Changsha, including Baqiu. A new Hanchang County was established, and Wei Yan was originally appointed as the prefect of Hanchang to guard it.
Now that Wei Yan was leading his army to conquer Soochow, Yan Liang transferred Ma Liang to serve as acting governor to garrison this strategically important county.
When the boat docked, Yan Liang strode out of the boat and Ma Liang and others came forward to meet him respectfully.
Yan Liang waved his hand to signal them to excuse themselves and walked into the camp. As he walked, he asked, "How is the situation in Linyuan?"
Ma Liang followed Yan Liang closely and replied: "Although the Wuxi barbarians are large in number, their weapons are very sophisticated and they cannot even build heavy siege equipment. In addition, Liao Gongyuan defends the city well. , it¡¯s pretty solid.¡±
Wuling County is adjacent to Hanchang County across Dongting Lake, and Linyuan City is located downstream of the Yuan River, not far from Dongting Lake, so Ma Liang is also quite aware of the war in Linyuan.
The situation Ma Liang said was roughly the same as what he had inferred beforehand.
The barbarians from Wuxi. He has lived in the mountains of Wuling for many years and is not accustomed to the education of the Han people. They usually have very little communication with the outside world and are basically still in the primitive tribal system.
Because these barbarians had little interaction with the Han people, they rarely learned the excellent culture and technology of the Han people. Naturally, they could not build sophisticated siege equipment such as rams and trench bridges.
Without sophisticated siege equipment, it is not easy to defeat a fortified city like Linyuan in the mountains.
Yan Liang nodded slightly, with a look of satisfaction on his face. "Liao Gongyuan seems to have made the right move. Come on, let's talk in the tent."
Liao Li was originally a famous scholar in Wuling. He was once called a "unparalleled talent" by Zhuge Liang in history. This was only because he later aligned with Zhuge Liang's political views and because he believed in his talent. Because he was not reused, he criticized the court many times, so he was demoted and exiled by Zhuge Liang.
As a time traveler, Yan Liang naturally knows Liao Li's reputation. After pacifying Jingnan, Yan Liang wanted to recruit a group of talents who had not been reused in Liu Biao's era. Liao Li was a famous scholar in Wuling, so Yan Liang recruited him as the prefect of Wuling.
¡°Now it seems that Liao Li has fulfilled his duty by being able to stick to Linyuan and send people to ask for help in a timely manner.
While speaking, Yan Liang had already entered the military tent and sat directly on the main seat.
Ma Liang and other Baqiu civil and military officials all entered and stood on both sides.
Yan Liang had just asked a few questions about the situation in Wuling when the curtain was lifted and a young Confucian scholar of fifteen or sixteen years old stepped into the tent.
There were many officials in the tent, and the young Confucian scholar didn't look very inconspicuous. He just moved behind Ma Liang in a low-key manner and whispered a few words.
Ma Liang then cupped his hands and said, "My subordinates guessed that the lord would send troops to suppress the rebellion, so part of the grain that was originally destined for Fankou was shipped to Baqiu instead, which is enough to support more than 10,000 troops for one month."
"You were able to make arrangements in advance, which saved the general a lot of time. You did a great job."
Yan Liang praised a few words, but turned his eyes to the young man behind Ma Liang and asked with interest:"Ji Chang, I don't know who is the person behind you. Why don't I seem to have seen him before?"
"Oh, he is my subordinate's younger brother. This time I ordered him to mobilize food and grass."
Ma Liang said and winked at the young man behind him.
Although the young man was only fifteen or sixteen years old, he was not nervous at all. He calmly raised his hands to Yan Liangyi and said, "Ma Su has met my lord."
Ma Su
Hearing this familiar name, Yan Liang couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
He, who is familiar with history, certainly knows how outstanding Ma Di's talents are. If Zhuge Liang can cultivate and use them well in history, Ma Di will be able to grow into a top strategist comparable to Fazheng.
It¡¯s a pity that Ma Su is good at planning but not good at fighting. The battle of Jieting was mistakenly used by Zhuge Liang, which resulted in the tragedy of losing Jieting. Not only did the Shu Han¡¯s first Northern Expedition fail, but even Ma Su was killed by Zhuge Liang.
Now I see this Ma Su. He is calm and capable at a young age. He is indeed a bit of a young prodigy.
"You are very talented at doing things at a young age. It seems that the Ma family is really full of talents." Yan Liang praised with a smile.
"My lord, I'm sorry. I just raised some food and grass, and did my little bit. It's really nothing." Ma Su behaved very modestly.
Yan Liang nodded slightly, and suddenly a thought came to his mind, and he asked: "Ma Su, I am going to personally conquer Wuling this time. What do you think about the counter-insurgency war?"
Yan Liang had a sudden inspiration and wanted to test whether Ma Su at this age was already rich in military acumen.
Ma Su didn't seem to expect that his lord would ask this young boy about such an important matter, and he seemed quite surprised for a moment.
However, his mood quickly calmed down. After thinking for a long time, he cupped his hands and said, "Returning to my lord, I secretly believe that my lord's personal expedition to the Wuxi Barbarians should be based on military warfare and mental warfare on top." - Didn't finish reading?
