The Great Explosion of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 166 On the contrary, Wuling surrendered first
From Changsha to Linyuan County, the seat of Wuling County, this area is all plains, not to mention the fertile soil, which is very suitable for farming.

Last time, Fang Xuanling said that the 20 people could be absorbed. It was precisely because of the large area of ​​farmland in this area that the population was scattered in Linxiang County, Yiyang County, and Luo County.After the beginning of spring, a large number of civilians began to invest in spring plowing. After deducting the original farmland, the arable land was expanded by at least three times. The only regret was that they could not expect to harvest in the first year.

As the army set off, Zhao Yun and Wei Wentong, as the vanguard, opened the way first.Having said that, from here to Yiyang in the north, it is the territory of the Shihui, and the enemy will not appear at all.

The official road has been expanded and can accommodate four horses galloping side by side.Even so, with 4 soldiers and [-] auxiliary soldiers, [-] soldiers passed by, still turning the team into a long dragon.

The people farming on both sides soon discovered this army, and quickly realized that it was the eunuch's own conquest, so they all avoided, and even bowed their heads and waited in the two fields, not daring to look at the badge.

"Hey, I didn't expect Wei to be so respectable!" Wei Wentong laughed. He was just a good man before, and he didn't even have any fame a few months ago. Now a thousand knights are following behind him, walking on the official road OK, I just think it's very beautiful.

"You are still just a captain, the lord is the general! But if it is a miscellaneous general, the lord should not hesitate to canonize you and me!" Zhao Yun reminded beside him.

"Hahaha, it's only a matter of time!" Wei Wentong laughed, the general will get the honor immediately, but sooner or later.

"Speaking of where did my lord get so many horses..." Zhao Yun looked back, not to mention them, even ordinary soldiers, even heavy soldiers, actually had horses riding on them, and the soldiers' badges directly invested a lot of horses. Horses and carriages are used as means of transportation.

"Isn't it good? If you walk normally, it takes at least two days from here to Yiyang County, but now you can definitely reach Yiyang County in one day! Soldiers are extremely fast, but infantry can't be too fast, otherwise the enemy will just wait for work and will catch us by surprise!" Wei Wentong had already seen Shi Hui's intentions.

"I know..." Zhao Yun nodded, "It's just that the origin of these horses is so strange!"

Can it be weird?Before setting off, the Shi Hui asked people to search in the mountains, and they immediately found tens of thousands of war horses that had already been harnessed.The key point is that these horses are all the yellow-maned horses they used to equip.Tens of thousands of horses, I really don't know how to get them.

"My lord has a lot of secrets. As subordinates, why should we ask more questions? Could it be that these horses will turn into monsters and eat you and me?" Wei Wentong was silent for a few seconds, and then came to Zhao Yun's side , whispered to him.

"You make a lot of sense!" Zhao Yun nodded, whether it is the sudden appearance of people, the sudden appearance of soldiers, the sudden disappearance of food and grass, the sudden appearance of horses, or even the sudden appearance of talents, the secret of Shi Hui is so many.

There is really no way to care about this, even if it is useless, Shi Hui can't explain, and they can't investigate anything.The most survey results are the words 'appear out of thin air', which makes my scalp tingle just thinking about it.

From Linxiang County to Yiyang County, there are about 150 miles. According to the normal marching distance, it should take two days.After all, the whole army has been changed, and the new armor is not light. Even if the soldiers don't feel tired, the exhaustion of physical strength is unavoidable.

In order to maintain sufficient combat effectiveness, there is nothing wrong with walking 75 miles a day. Beyond this distance, the combat effectiveness of soldiers will be affected.But in the case of horses riding, if you go all out, you can reach Yiyang County that night.

Now, instead, it was the heavy troop that slowed down the marching speed of the army. Even so, the army still came to Yiyang County around seven o'clock that night.The county magistrate Liu Fang (a black iron-level scribe) came out of the mansion in a hurry when he heard that Shi Hui was coming, and opened the door to greet him.

"My lord is also invited to go to the city to rest. This subordinate has already ordered the servants at home to prepare the food and drinks." Liu Fang had already eaten, but it was his honor to have the opportunity to entertain Shi Hui.

"I have a heart! But since I am in the army, I can't leave at will! In this way, you can bring the food to the army, and you don't need the wine!" Shi Hui didn't refuse, which would only chill the hearts of his subordinates , Some wine and food, there is no need to be so nervous.

"Okay, I'll arrange it now!" Liu Fang replied excitedly when he heard the words.As for inviting Shi Hui to stay in Yiyang for a few days, of course he wouldn't say such a stupid thing, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Shi Hui might go back to march tomorrow.

In less than half an hour, the food and wine were sent to the army.It's not something high-end, a county magistrate doesn't have that much salary, if he offers very luxurious dishes, it will make him suspicious.

"At least it's much better than eating dry food! The food in the army is not delicious!" Naturally, the generals also benefited, but Yang Xiong was the only one who would say this, and he would have to be taught a lesson by Shi Hui.

In fact, Yang Xiong is also very depressed. In the past, brother Hui could never beat him, but now he is getting stronger and stronger. It can be said that it is quite difficult to fight against Shi Hui. If it continues, he will not be an opponent at any time!

The next day, the army set off immediately at dawn, and the distance from Yiyang County to Linyuan (later Changde) County was less than 200 miles, and it took a day to get there.But between the two places, there is another city.

Hanshou County, this city is completely a satellite city of Linyuan County, and it is also an important grain producing area.But speaking of this, first of all, I will remember that when Guan Yu was temporarily under Cao Cao's command, he was once named "Han Shouting Hou", and his food city was in Hanshou County.However, Hanshou County was under the rule of Liu Biao at that time, so this award has no practical significance.

"My lord, do you want to attack the city?" In the afternoon of the next day, the army had already arrived at Hanshou County, looking at the closed city gate, Cen Xi stepped forward and asked.He is in command of the bow and crossbow troops, and if he wants to attack the city, his troops will go into battle as soon as possible.

"Send someone over to say surrender. If you resist, give me a city within a quarter of an hour!" Hanshou County is not big, and the key city wall is not high. It is also good for Shou County to deter Zhang Xian.

The envoy immediately came under the city wall and shouted to the defenders on the city wall: "Magistrate of Hanshou County, my general is Zhennan General, the emblem of Changsha prefect. Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, openly defected to the puppet emperor of Guanzhong. We wait for the big Han Loyal ministers, you should serve the country and regain Jingzhou. You were originally a county magistrate appointed by the imperial court, but you can't help yourself under Liu Biao. My general intends to give you a chance. You only need to open the city and surrender, and you will still be colleagues! If you are obsessed with obsession and want to follow Liu Biao to fight against the imperial court, then don't blame my general, but take back this Hanshou County for the imperial court!"

"Don't attack, don't attack, I surrender, surrender! What are you still doing? Open the door, open the door!" Hearing this, the Hanshou county magistrate immediately lost the intention of resisting.Isn't this nonsense? 1 people surrounded the county, and the archers were ready to shoot. Is it fun for so many people to beat him in a small county with only 300 people? !

The gate opened, and Shi Hui personally received him. The county magistrate was not bad, knowing that Shi Hui came to expand the territory in the name of the imperial court.So he immediately expressed his loyalty in private, hoping to join Shi Hui's command.

Shi Hui felt that the county magistrate was up to the mark, so he continued to appoint him as the magistrate of Hanshou County. However, during this period, Hanshou County will temporarily enter the state of military management and use it to store food.

Of course the county magistrate of Hanshou didn't dare to disobey, so he immediately agreed.Seeing that the Shihui Department did not take any further action, and even came forward to maintain the law and order in Hanshou County, he was relieved.

The next day, the army headed directly towards Linyuan County, less than 50 miles away, and had already reached it in the afternoon.Unexpectedly, the gate of Linyuan County opened directly, and Zhang Xian, the prefect of Wuling County, directly led his army out to greet him.

"Prefect Zhang, what is the meaning of this?" Shi Hui looked at Zhang Xian, who was originally the prefect of Lingling. Before the Lingling turmoil, he was transferred to Guiyang as the prefect, but after Liu Biao became the governor, He was transferred to be the prefect of Wuling.According to the trajectory of history, he should also be appointed as the prefect of Changsha.

"General Zhennan came to Wuling County, where I am in charge, and why?" Zhang Xian smiled, but he didn't intend to fight with Shi Hui, "Zhang is the county guard appointed by the imperial court. Appointing Liu Biao as the governor of Jingzhou, I can only obey his appointment and take over as the prefect of Wuling. After all, Zhang is the prefect of Wuling in the Han Dynasty, but he is not the general of Liu Biao! Now that Liu Biao is rebellious, the general is willing to take over Jingzhou. A certain wish is attached to the end of the wish!"

"I'm afraid it's true, isn't it?" Shi Hui smiled after hearing the words.

"Hey... why does the general make things difficult for Zhang?" Zhang Xian couldn't help but smiled wryly, "Xian has only been in Wuling for less than a year, and he only managed to control Linyuan County and one or two surrounding counties. The soldiers and horses that can be mobilized under his command , but less than three thousand.

Wuling has been invaded by Wuxi barbarians for a long time, and the city walls have been in disrepair for a long time.Under such circumstances, the general directly encircled Linyuan County with [-] elite troops, and Zhang had no room to resist, so why should he humiliate himself and see his lord capture Linyuan County? "

On the one hand, he was frightened, and Shi Hui directly brought these ten thousand soldiers to kill him. He really thinks highly of him.On the one hand, he really didn't need to be an enemy of Shi Hui. After Liu Biao took office, he reused the children of Jingzhou aristocratic families, and the poor families became victims.

Zhang Xian was originally from a poor family and was very dissatisfied with Liu Biao's behavior.But he was worried about giving Liu Biao an excuse to attack him, so he had to be obedient and came directly to Wuling County to take up his post, so that he was appointed as the prefect of Changsha in history, and it was the same.

Therefore, during the Battle of Guandu, after Huan Jie's lobbying, he immediately decided to unite with the four southern counties to defect to Cao Cao and jointly deal with Liu Biao.Now it was changed to Shi Hui, although it seemed a bit forced, but it also strengthened his idea of ​​fighting against Liu Biao.

"Hey... I didn't expect that Guiyang County didn't surrender, but Wuling County surrendered first..." Behind Shi Hui, Yang Xiong muttered to Xing Daorong and Cheng Chubi beside him.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple!" Wei Wentong saw it more clearly, "Even if Zhang Xian surrendered, he probably only conquered one or two surrounding counties. As far as Zhang Xian is concerned, he has not yet fully controlled the entire Wuling County. Still have to fight!"

"That's good, it's too boring to come out so rarely that there's no battle to fight!" Yang Xiong breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, if the lord has more and more elite soldiers in the future, I'm afraid that it is really possible that those county magistrates who have just killed the other side's city will open the city and surrender." Zhao Yun sighed. Sometimes there are too many soldiers. Save worry and effort.

It's just that fighting like this is too boring, and these generals have almost no use for them.

Sure enough, Shi Hui quickly chatted with Zhang Xian about local issues.Zhang Xian said that he could control only the four counties of Hanshou, Linyuan, Lingyang, and Zuotang, leaving Chongxian, Yuanling, Chenyang, Youyang, Qianling, and the southernmost Tancheng County. It's out of his control, especially just a few days ago, there was a riot in Wuxi near Tancheng County, and the county magistrate just sent a letter asking for help.

Didn't he send two thousand elite soldiers to support him before, and the city is empty, otherwise, why bother to surrender?

"Now is not the time to talk about this!" Shi Hui had expected it, but he was more concerned about other aspects, such as food!
