Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 191 Zhong Yao sent horses to defeat the Xiongnu

Zhang Yi couldn't help laughing when he received the military report from Gan Ning.To be honest, the business of exchanging fifty ring-shou knives for one war horse is profitable.In Huainan, a war horse has been sold for 15 yuan, but Zhang Yi has money, but he can't buy it.Because Cao Cao has already kept all the horses in his territory, even if he snatches them away, he will not let a horse flow to Zhang Yi's territory.

Zhang Yi's infantry is already very powerful, and Cao Cao does not want Zhang Yi's cavalry to become powerful as well.Although Zhang Yi's cavalry training is very good, but after all, the number is small, Cao Cao still has the advantage.If Zhang Yi had more horses and assembled a large number of cavalry, Cao Cao would not know how to defeat Zhang Yi.

War horses are produced in the north, from Liaodong to Liangzhou, there are war horses.That's why Zhang Yi asked Gan Ning to bring back some war horses from the north as much as possible, and even he would spare no effort to transport some war horses back from Liaodong in the future.If Gongsundu didn't know what to do, Zhang Yi would not hesitate to launch a war to eliminate Gongsundu across the sea.

Just now there was good news on Zhang Yi's side, and bad news on the other side.Cao Cao surrendered the Southern Huns!
This matter still has to start with Cao Cao supporting the emperor. After the emperor escaped from Guanzhong, the entire Sili school and lieutenant department was a mess!Countless armed forces are fighting in the melee, warlords, bandits, and barbarians have made this place uneasy.

Cao Cao didn't have the energy to manage here at the beginning, until the fourth year of Jian'an Jian'an (199), when Cao Cao sent two people to Guanzhong, everything got better.These two are Zhong Yao and Wei Ke, two politically capable men.

Many people don't know Wei Ji, but it was Wei Ji who gave Cao Cao a strategy to stabilize Guanzhong.Cao Cao adopted his opinion and made him in charge of civil affairs.At that time, there was a war in Guanzhong, and more than [-] households took refuge in Jingzhou. Later, when they heard that Guanzhong was stable, they returned.However, these people have no livelihood and can only serve as private soldiers for those warlords, which is why Guanzhong has been in chaos.

Wei Ke aimed at this point, using the salt government to obtain money, and then buying rice to take it from the warlords, so as to weaken the warlords, and then use a master to control these warlords in the future, gradually weakening them.And this person who gradually weakened the warlord, Cao Cao used Zhong Yao.

Zhong Yao was the lieutenant and servant of Sili, and he controlled all the troops of the lieutenant of Sili, and the warlords in Guanzhong were also under his jurisdiction in terms of jurisprudence.It can only be said that the remaining prestige of the great man is still there, and Zhong Yao is indeed capable. As soon as he took office, he persuaded the two largest warlords in Guanzhong, Han Sui and Ma Teng, to send his son to Xuchang as a hostage.

With these two people in charge, Cao Cao has brought the Sili Xiaowei Department into his territory, and can also use some Liangzhou resources.

After the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao felt that his strength was insufficient, so he asked the Southern Xiongnu to send people to attack Sili Xiaowei's headquarters in order to cut off the help here to Cao Cao.You must know that during the Battle of Guandu, Zhong Yao once provided Cao Cao with two thousand war horses at one time!

Cao Cao was busy fighting with Yuan Shao, but he never moved the Southern Huns.But Zhong Yao was not idle. Although he had no troops, there were many warlords in Guanzhong, so he persuaded these warlords to form a coalition army to attack the Southern Huns and its accomplice, Guo Yuan, the governor of Hedong.

The warlords' coalition only had a few thousand people, while the Southern Xiongnu and Guo Yuan's coalition had tens of thousands of people, which was significantly larger than the warlords' coalition.This group of people is used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and they really want to withdraw their troops.

Zhong Yao advised: "The Yuan family is powerful, and many people in Guanzhong are colluding with the Yuan family. There is no reason for rebellion, but they are concerned about my reputation. If we retreat, Guanzhong will definitely be disrupted again. This is what you want to see Is that so? Moreover, Guo Yuan is stubborn and eager to win, so he will definitely despise our army. If they want to cross the Fen River, we will attack halfway across the Fen River, and we will definitely win a complete victory."

Only then did the generals settle down, and these little warlords really didn't want to go back to the precarious days before.

Then the good news came, Zhong Yao sent Zhang Ji to persuade Ma Teng to send troops, and Ma Teng agreed, and sent his son Ma Chao and general Pang De.

Ma Chao has already made a name for himself in the Yongliang area, and Pang De is no ordinary person.When the coalition army heard the arrival of the two of them, they immediately settled down and began to prepare for the war.

After Guo Yuan arrived, he really looked down on Zhong Yao's coalition army. He led the troops to cross Fenshui, but no one else would listen to their persuasion.Under Guo Yuan's impulsiveness, the army began to cross Fenshui, and then was attacked by Zhong Yao.

This battle was easy, Ma Chao and Pound charged forward, and Guo Yuan was also killed by Pound in this battle.More importantly, this Guo Yuan is still Zhong Yao's nephew.When seeing Guo Yuan's head, Zhong Yao cried bitterly, and it was only then that Pang De realized that it was Guo Yuan he killed.Pang De apologized to Zhong Yao, but Zhong Yao did not blame Pang De. Maybe this is one of the reasons why Pang De sincerely served Cao Cao in the future?

During this battle, Zhong Yao also surrendered to Huchuquan, the Shanyu of the Southern Huns, and completely helped Cao Cao solve the problem of the Southern Huns.Later, Huchuquan even lived in Han Dynasty, and the affairs of the Southern Xiongnu were handed over to King Youxian.

After taking down the Southern Huns, Cao Cao had a stable source of horses and more cavalry.

Faced with such information, how can Zhang Yi remain calm?He can only say that the people on Yuan's side are basically useless now, and I hope Jushou can make good use of them!The so-called Four Court Columns in Hejian died and rebelled twice, and the meritorious general Ju Yi was also killed by Yuan Shao!Zhang Yi really couldn't think of any other good generals that the Yuan family could use. He didn't even know what famous generals the Yuan family had now?It seems that the only ones who can be called up are Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, right?

But are these two generals in history?It seems to be fabricated by "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", right?It seems to be the ghost of Zhao Yun Chang Banpo who was shot under the gun when he was showing off his power.

No, we still have to restrict Cao Cao, but there seems to be no way for the time being!Now that winter has entered again, he is now preparing for Cao Cao to cross the Huai River to attack!The defensive belts he built at Shenxian, Xiacai, Ping'a, Yicheng, Zhongli, Huailing, Xuyi, Ping'an, Sheyang, and Yandu should be enough to defend against Cao Cao.

But this defensive belt is too long, and there will be omissions in the south.Fortunately, Cao Cao mobilized too many troops this year and did not attack.

It is not easy to make trouble for Cao Cao!He has already started preparing to attack Jingzhou, and he is not going to make any big moves here.

Another year of Spring Festival passed, Zhang Yi also welcomed his third child, a girl, born to him by Mrs. Bu, and named Huang'er.He was going to take it down in this order, red orange yellow green blue blue purple, seven colors were taken.This inspiration didn't come out casually, he named it after the Seven Fairies in a TV series.
