Chapter 879: Moving your little finger

"Report to the news of the King and the governor of Yizhou County, Kou Feng led 200,000 horse and infantry troops to suddenly cross the river from Jiangzhou and enter Nanzhong. He has now pulled out countless cities and forcing Yizhou."

Just when Yong Kai climbed up to the north and was filled with distractions in his heart, a small official went up the mountain from behind and reported.

When reporting, the little official's face could not hide his panic. The 200,000 army, 200,000 army, what an astonishing number.

Even if it is just a claim, it is quite conspicuous.

"What?"

Yong Kai opened his eyes wide and was full of disbelief.

Didn’t Kou Feng return west to Xiangyang? He spent a lot of time summoning the clans of officials from all walks of life in Shu, and thousands of family members returned to Xiangyang in a mighty manner.

Why did he suddenly cross the Yangtze River south and attack Yizhou County? How could he resist the 200,000 army and 200,000 army?

"It's really cruel."

Yong Kai was stunned for a long time before he smiled bitterly and sighed.

Kou Feng migrated to the Sichuan clan like King Zhou of Shang, and the officials and families entered Xiangyang, risking the unstable situation in Shu and even causing chaos.

Let him, Meng Huo and others relax their vigilance.

Because Kou Feng's work was too big, he actually fell into a trap. He claimed to be the King of Southern and sent 50,000 troops to attack Yunnan. He was not prepared for Kou Feng's sudden southward transition, which allowed Kou Feng to cross the Yangtze River smoothly and enter Nanzhong.

Now that 200,000 troops are coming to Nanzhong, how can he and Meng Huo resist?

Sighing could not appease the chaos in Yong Kai's heart. The 200,000 troops of Kou Feng were like a mountain, pressing against Yong Kai's heart.

"I and Meng Huo still have an army of 130,000 to 140,000, and Kou Feng is known as 200,000, and at most it is only more than 100,000. If I could defend the city of Yunnan and wait until the Chu army had ed out the food, there might be a glimmer of life."

After a long chaos, Yong Kai cheered up a little and gradually made a decision in his heart.

"Come, order to return to Diancheng."

Yong Kai issued an order to his entourage, then hurried down the mountain and led the army back to Diancheng.

Four days later, the 30,000 to 40,000 troops led by Yong Kai returned to Diancheng. Kou Feng's army also came to the north of Diancheng with one foot.

On the north city of Yongkai City, Yongkai led the important generals in the southern country, including Meng Huo and Meng You, to observe the Chu Camp in the north.

I saw a camp that stretched for more than ten miles in the open space ahead, from existence to none, being built. The camps are lined with tents and arranged in a staggered manner, and I am hiding murderous intent.

Although Yong Kai is not a famous general, he has read a lot of military books. Looking at the camp ahead, he couldn't help but feel ashamed.

This must be written by a famous artist.

Looking at the camp in front of him, thinking that he had been trapped in Yunnan and was defeated by the little Dong He once. Yong Kai couldn't help but be even more afraid of the talented people in Chu.

"What a camp with murderous intent."

Meng Huo can be said that among the people present, the one who knows the most about military power was the one who fought with the general Yan Yan and others in Shu in previous years. At this moment, Meng Huo was also slightly awe-inspiring in his heart.

His expression was even more solemn.

Speaking of which, their Nanzhong army had already fought with the navy of Ganning, but looking at this camp with murderous intent, Meng Huo knew that he had fought with Ganning on the river surface before.

It’s just that they are brave and fierce, and the battle between the two sides depends on courage.

This Chu army is a real Chu army, a mysterious battle formation, and a brave general.

"Now that the troops are at the city, I wonder if you have any solutions?" At this moment, Yong Kai had no choice but to stick to one strategy in his mind, guarding until the Chu army's rations were exhausted, and then retreating on his own.

However, Yong Kai certainly hoped that there would be a better solution. Looking back, he asked the generals.

"The Chu army is coming from afar, and there is another 200,000 troops. It must be difficult to replenish supplies. As long as we persist for a few months, we can wait for the Chu army to retreat on its own."

A general from Zhenbei, who was fed by Yong Kai, took a step forward and clasped his fists.

When Yong Kai heard this, he nodded expressionlessly and said, "What General Zhenbei said is reasonable." But anyone could see that Yong Kai was a little dissatisfied.

The general of Zhenbei smiled awkwardly and retreated.

Yong Kai turned his attention to Meng Huo. Although Meng Huo's power was too huge due to the differences in tribes during this period. There was a little friction between Yong Kai and Meng Huo.

But after all, the Chu army is heading south now, so there is no end to the nest. Yong Kai began to trust Meng Huo again. Meng Huo is also the only famous general in the Southern Central.

"When did you hear that the Chu army would retreat because of food shortage? That was what Cao Cao did. Moreover, Shu was a country of Tianfu. Although Liu Zhang was weak, his grain reserves were probably comparable to that of the Chu State that Kou Feng. Even if the transportation route was a little longer, the food would not be short of a large number of farmers. Therefore, there would be no way out if he was determined to defend himself." Meng Huo's mood at this moment was similar to Yong Kai, and he did not watch coldly and said seriously.

It’s not that Meng Huo looked down on Cao Mengde, but that’s the truth. Cao Cao’s north is already full of holes, and every time he fights, he has to calculate the food.

It is best to send troops in winter and return them in spring. However, the southeastern Chu State, which was found to be in poverty, was rich.

Meng Huo has never heard of any time Kou Feng led his troops to fight and would withdraw his troops due to food issues.

"General Meng has said that if Kou Feng wants to support the war with our Nanzhong, it will need to mobilize a large amount of manpower and material resources to support it. Especially for farmers, there will be tens of thousands of people. If tens of thousands of people are not produced, what will they eat next year? What is this huge pressure?" What Meng Huo said is absolutely reasonable, but there are still people who are dissatisfied. One of the generals of Yong Kaifeng, said.

"The food in Shu is enough to support a million people for a year or two." Meng Huo sneered and said.

"This." General Pingbei was a little speechless, but it seemed like this. The wealth in Shu was beyond people's imagination.

"Can't you be sure to defend yourself?" Yong Kai was a little panicked when he heard this. He thought defending yourself was the only way at present, but the Chu army had no problem with food at all, so it was impossible for him to retreat on his own.

They can hold on for half a year, or even a year, but can they hold on for two years? Even if they are not compromised, their food will be exhausted.

"Under the current situation, we cannot defend the city. It is better for the king to defend himself. I will lead the army outside. Both sides think it is a horn and look for a fighter opportunity to drive Kou Feng away." Meng Huo said with fist to Yong Kai.

"Okay." Yong Kai pondered for a moment and chose to trust Meng Huo. Whether it was Meng Huo's ability or the combat ability of his army, it was enough to fight against the Chu army in the field.

"Go and take out all 30,000 Wei swords." Then, Yong Kai ordered.

"No." A small official next to him responded to the promise and immediately sent an order. After the small official left, Yong Kai said to Meng Huo: "The Chu army has Chu swords. If there is no corresponding weapon, it may suffer a loss. Instead, I can defend the city to the death, and have a city wall as a support, and can support it. I will allocate 30,000 Wei swords to the general."

"Thank you, the king."

Meng Huo***'s story.

Immediately, Meng Huo led the barbarian generals such as Meng You to walk down the city, and soon led a large army out of the west gate, intending to build a large camp nearby.

"Master, can Meng Huo trust me? After all, the news of Kou Feng returning to Xiangyang was brought by Meng You, but Kou Feng is now appearing outside the city."

A confidant general said to Yong Kai after Meng Huo left.

Just now, General Zhenbei and General Pingbei were arguing with Meng Huo. In fact, the most core issue was still this. The news that Kou Feng returned to Xiangyang was brought back by Meng You, which is so suspicious.

"If Meng Huo really had a rebellious intention, when I led my troops to Yunnan, he could occupy Yunnan City with a large army and welcome the Kou Feng into the city. He would not rebel."

Yong Kai said.

In fact, he was also a little suspicious, but the most urgent task was not the time to suspect each other.

"No." The confidant had to say a promise when he heard this, but his suspicion was buried.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Hahaha, this Dong He really made Gu happy."

At present, the Chu camp has not been fully established, but Kou Feng's central army tent has been completed. At this moment, in the tent, Kou Feng held a roll of bamboo slips and said with a laugh.

The bamboo slips are Dong He's official documents, which detailed the process of Yong Kai's attack on Yunnan. At present, Dong He was leading thousands of elite troops from Yunnan to the north to connect with him.

Yunnan City was originally a stronghold set up by Kou Feng in Nanzhong. He placed Dong He in Yunnan to defend the city and guard the city until his army arrived.

As long as you can protect Yunnan, the food in Shu can start directly from Chengdu and arrive in Yunnan through several counties.

He could support him in the southern expedition for a long time. But unexpectedly, Dong He not only defended the city, but also designed to defeat Yong Kai and earn an army of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan.

Kou Feng really surprised him. Of course, while the accident was also full of joy. According to the spies, there are currently about 150,000 soldiers in the South Central.

Now that Yong Kai has lost 10,000 or 20,000 troops outside Yunnan City, it is definitely a great victory for the Chu army. The advantage has become larger.

"Dong Taishou's contribution is not only great, but also the first merit of the emperor's southern expedition. He should be rewarded to inspire his soldiers." In the big tent, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Song and others were there except Kou Feng.

Zhang Song raised his fist to Kou Feng.

"Well. I passed the order of the Order, and the name of Nanzhou will be granted the title of Nanzhou. Donghe will be granted the title of Guanneihou. Let's hang his title of General Dangnan for the time being."

Kou Feng nodded and ordered.

Just like Jingzhou, Yizhou is very large. The Kou Feng divided Yizhou into Jingnan and Jingbei. It also means that the new state was established in the south of the Tunan.

It happened that Dong He made great contributions again, so he followed the trend.

Originally, the official positions of Chu State were always civil and military officials who did not interfere with each other. The commander was the commander, and the civil officials were the civil officials. However, Dong He was quite special.

Previously, Kou Feng specially gave up the title of General Dangnan to calm Dong He. This will be taken back sooner or later, but considering that the war is currently underway, Dong He will still lead a large army.

Let's just do it together for the time being.

"No." Zhang Songying said, and immediately went down to draft the document.
