Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 215 Sending troops to Wuling
"Master Lu is here?" Cheng Huang's heart was shocked, and he quickly put the Lightning Eagle into the pet space, and said: "Since Master Lu invited me, I will go there. But the time is short, I need time to shake up the soldiers and horses. How about this, You go to stay in Xingyue City first, how about I send troops there tomorrow?"

In "Emperor Map", after the player gets a pet, the system will give a pet space to store his pet.

"Since the general has agreed, let's not disturb the general. Let's go back and report. My lord has already stationed troops in Changsha, and will send troops to Wuling soon." After Ma Zhi finished speaking, he turned and left.

Watching several people leave, Cheng Huang smiled wryly.As soon as the siege of Dongting was lifted, the imperial army arrived. Isn't this the legendary land-washing police?

This time, the imperial court did not send him to send troops, and Lu Zhi invited him to help. In other words, he might not receive any reward from the imperial court, just like the pacification of Xiliang.

However, if he didn't go, Lu Zhi's face would be refuted again.never mind!Just send troops to think about it.After making up his mind, Cheng Huang activated the lord's skills and returned to the city lord's meeting hall.

There was no one in the meeting room, Cheng Huang walked out of the meeting room and came to the Dudu Mansion.Since this time is to deal with Wuling Man, Wuling Man is good at mountains, so Cheng Huang only ordered Wang Ping to lead Wudang Flying Army, Wei Yan to lead [-] infantry, Gan Ning to lead Jinfan Navy and [-] Dongting Water Army to respond .Zhao Yun and Han Long set off with the army.

After ordering the soldiers and horses, Cheng Huang came to Xu Shu's mansion and bid farewell to Xu Shu.

Xu Shu was warming up by the brazier, when he saw Cheng Huang coming in, he was about to stand up to greet him, but Cheng Huang stopped him.

"Mr. Yuanzhi is not in good health, so he should rest more." Cheng Huang helped Xu Shu to sit down and said, "Have you brought the medicine prescribed by Miracle Doctor Hua? Sir, you have to take the medicine on time!"

"Thank you, my lord, for your concern. I've already taken my medicine today. I'll be fine after two days of rest. My lord, I see you're in a hurry. Do you have something important to do?" Xu Shu said.

"Mr. Yuanzhi, I actually came to say goodbye to you. Tomorrow, I will lead a team to help Master Lu conquer Wuling Man."

"Suppress Wuling Man," Xu Shu was slightly surprised, "Master, the people of Wuling Mansion are tough, and there are many mountains and mountains. I'm afraid it will not be so easy to destroy them! I also traveled to Wuling area in my early years. I also know a little bit about the folk customs. Although the Wuling barbarians have a strong folk custom, they live in Wuling Mountains and have no ambition to go out of the mountains. This time they are rebelling, I am afraid they have other secrets."

"In my opinion, when dealing with the Wuling barbarians, we should focus on appeasement and not go to war. According to my estimation, it is probably because the local government oppressed the Wuling people too much, which aroused the civil uprising."

After hearing Xu Shu's words, Cheng Huang nodded.He has also been to the Wuling Mountains. Wuling Man is the collective name for the ethnic minorities living in the mountains of Wuling County, and it is also the gathering place of the Miao and Yao peoples in the real world.These people live in the mountains all year round, and it is unrealistic to completely wipe them out.

Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu once sent a large army to conquer the Wuling barbarians, but returned in a big defeat, which shows how difficult it is to conquer the Wuling barbarians.

"Sir, is there a way to appease the Wuling Man?" Cheng Huang asked.

"This depends on what demands they have! Of course, taking the initiative on the battlefield and then negotiating with them will get twice the result with half the effort."

After discussing with Xu Shu for a while, Cheng Huang told Xu Shu to take a good rest and go back to the city lord's meeting hall by himself.

The next day, the Xingyue City soldiers and horses still divided into two groups and marched towards Changsha.

When they came to the Changsha imperial army camp, Lu Zhi came out to greet him in person.Although there were very few Dongting soldiers, none of the court personnel showed any slighted intentions.

After all, during the First Battle of Xiliang, the imperial army had seen the power of Dongting soldiers, and these were the best of the best!

"General Cheng is indeed a man of faith," Lu Zhi asked the generals to sit down in the tent of the Chinese army after the generals had received the ceremony, and said.

"Master Lu invites, how dare the last general not come," Cheng Huang cupped his hands and said, "I don't know if my lord is sure to suppress the Wuling barbarians this time?"

"Hehe," Lu Zhi stroked his beard and smiled, "I have fought in the battlefield all my life, and there have been victories and defeats. The so-called planning is up to man, and success is up to God. I just want to go all out."

"Oh, it seems that Master Lu is not sure of victory! As far as I know, the Wuling barbarians launched the rebellion because the big man exploited them too much, which has already made the barbarians unable to live. In addition, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans provoked them, so So I think that as long as the imperial court lowers the taxes and corvee of the barbarians, the Wuling barbarian rebellion will naturally subside."

Lu Zhi nodded: "I also know what General Cheng said, but if you want to lower the taxes of the barbarians, you will definitely touch the interests of that group. I'm afraid it will not be that easy."

Of course Cheng Huang knew who that group was referring to, so he shook his head. As the saying goes, tyranny is fiercer than a tiger, and officials force the people to rebel.No wonder Dahan Jiangshan is almost over!

Cheng Huang really wanted to persuade Lu Zhi to leave the court, but there were probably many spies planted by Zhang Rang and others here, so he couldn't speak up.

"Lord Lu, how do you plan to deal with these barbarians this time?" Cheng Huang asked again.

"People who are not of our race must have a different heart. Naturally, we want to make an example to the monkeys and show Wulingman some color." Lu Zhi said.

"Hey," Cheng Huang sighed, and stopped talking, because he felt that it was useless to say it.

After a day of recuperation in Changsha, the next day, Lu Zhi's 30 troops left Changsha and pointed directly at Liling.

Before reaching Liling, news came from the front that the rebels in Liling had abandoned the city and fled.

Liling was taken down without bloodshed, but Lu Zhi and others were not happy.

Needless to say, the rebels have already withdrawn and hid in the mountains. The imperial army's wish to completely wipe them out may come to nothing!
Arriving in Liling, Lu Zhi led his troops into the city and called all the generals to discuss.

This time, Cheng Huang didn't speak, and just watched Lu Zhi's subordinates fight with each other.

"Lord Lu, from the opinion of a certain general, the Wuling barbarians are probably afraid of our army's mighty power and fled. When our army reaches Wuling, they will definitely surrender without a fight."

Cheng Huang, who spoke, knew that it was Lu Zhi's general Qin Chuang.After hearing Qin Chuang's words, Cheng Huang couldn't help shaking his head.

Lu Zhi said: "General Qin's words are wrong. The Wuling barbarians have retreated into the Wuling Mountains. How should we deal with them in the mountains. When our army enters the mountains, we will definitely be attacked by them. I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with them."

After hearing Lu Zhi's words, Qin Chuang remained silent.

After discussing for a long time, no one can come up with a perfect solution.

Cheng Huang touched his chin and squinted his eyes.

When they came, Xu Shu had told him not to massacre the Wuling barbarians.Because if Cheng Huang owns Jingzhou in the future, Wuling Mountain will become his rear.

If you want to stabilize the rear, you must have a good relationship with this Wuling barbarian.
