At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

"That's natural. If Bo Miao can come, I will know what's going on. It's not in vain for me to risk my life to send the news to Chengdu in time."

Zhu Bao's face was full of credit-giving smiles.

Of course Deng Zhi knew what Zhu Bao wanted.

"For this matter, Man Shijun and General Le are very grateful to the Fujun, so I specially sent my subordinates to thank the Fujun, and I can also inform the Fujun. Speak up if you need to."

Zhu Bao narrowed his eyes.

"The governor of Nanzhong has a lot of power. Yong Kai's actions have already made Chengdu uneasy. Chengdu is uneasy, and Luoyang is naturally unhappy. I thought that after this incident, this position will no longer exist."

Deng Zhi had expected this, so she smiled.

"A corner of Nanzhong, to put it bluntly, is not in the eyes of my Emperor Wei. His Majesty is rich all over the world, and there are Liaodong, Western Regions, Prairie, Nanzhong... Hehe, Fujun, do you think that the tax revenue of a Cang County can be compared with Does it compare to any county in the Central Plains?"

Although these words were not pleasant, Zhu Bao knew it was the truth.

Not to mention a county in the Central Plains, the most populous counties in the Central Plains have a higher GDP than a county as large as Cang County.

It is very normal for these Central Plains people to look down on Nanzhong. It is really barbaric if it is wild, it is really low if its productivity is low, and it is really small if its population is small.

If Zhu Bao had a choice, it would certainly be better to go to the Central Plains than to live in this backwater.

But, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as our kennels. You can dominate here, but when you get to the Central Plains, you have to be flattened and rounded. It must be comfortable to stay here.

So Zhu Bao also smiled.

"Zang Zang, the barren land in the South Central Plains is far inferior to the Central Plains. Everyone knows this."

"Since it's a well-known matter, why should you worry about it? What His Majesty wants is nothing more than submission, nothing more than obedience. Yong Kai, the governor of Nanzhong, to put it bluntly, was snatched by him. His Majesty didn't want to give it, so let's give it.

I thought that he could keep his own place, don't act rashly, save a lot of trouble, and live in peace, but who knows that this person is not greedy enough, and he actually cooperates with the rebels in Sichuan to rebel. We absolutely cannot tolerate such a thing. "

Deng Zhi comforted Zhu Bao again: "And these years, Yong Kai seems to be perverse in Nanzhong, very tyrannical, bullying the weak everywhere, causing the people of Nanzhong to resent, this is not what His Majesty wants to see, His Majesty does not want to see Nanzhong Chaos, this is the bottom line.

Therefore, after Yong Kai was wiped out, another reliable person was needed to replace Yong Kai to guard Nanzhong, so that Nanzhong would become stable, rich, and submissive. I don't know if the Lord Fu has any idea to do this? "

Chapter 1208 One Thousand 110 Eight Gao Ding and Zhu Bao Are Dead

When Deng Zhi spoke to this point, Zhu Bao's worries were almost gone.

"Bo Miao can talk about this, but I actually have nothing to say. Bo Miao, you are honest with me, and I will not hide it from you. Since Yong Kai became the governor of Nanzhong, he has done all kinds of bad things. Greed does not stop, Nanzhong suffers for a long time!

Yizhou County itself is his territory, and he is not satisfied, so he extended his hand to the other three counties, relying on himself as the governor, appointing his cronies as county guards and county magistrates, so that people's resentment boiled over, and now, they are dissatisfied with him Yes, I am definitely not the only one who wants to get rid of him. "

Deng Zhi nodded, expressing satisfaction.

"That's enough. The people want to change, and no one can stop him. Yong Kai's perverse behavior hurts the people's hearts, and he doesn't know how to repent. If so, the whole world will not tolerate him."

After some conversation, Deng Zhi and Zhu Bao finalized some details of the cooperation.

For example, Zhu Bao took the initiative to send troops to help the Wei army garrison in Cang County to annihilate Yong Kai's army that entered Cang County——

In order to obtain more benefits, under the banner of helping Zhu Bao resist the invasion of the Wei army, Yong Kai sent an army of 5000 people into Cang County to confront the Wei army across the Yachi River.

Then he stayed open and aboveboard and never left, which can be said to be quite shameless.

But Zhu Bao also had nothing to do with them, who told them that they really came to confront Wei Jun, and their teachers were famous, so no one was ashamed to say anything.

But while they were confronting each other, there were also people who went to Zangcang County to be the county magistrate, one, two or three, and they didn't take Zhu Bao as a county magistrate seriously.

Zhu Bao said that he was the governor of the county, and whoever became the county magistrate should ask his opinion, but Yong Kai retorted, saying that he was the governor of Nanzhong, and whoever became the county governor should also ask his opinion.

This is blatant ridicule, blatant hegemony, and completely ignores Zhu Bao.

Zhu Bao was very angry, but with an army of less than [-] in his own hands, he really didn't have the confidence to fight against Yong Kai.

After Yong Kai became the governor of Nanzhong, he vigorously recruited barbarian Han people from all over the country to join his army in Yizhou County and became his part. Many people really went to his title of governor of Nanzhong.

Originally, everyone was quite equal in strength, and each family had only [-] armed forces, and some were only five or six thousand, and they could check and balance each other.

As soon as Yong Kai became the governor of Nanzhong, the armed forces immediately rushed to [-], and many people under the original various forces coveted the wealth and honor of Yong Kai, and abandoned their old masters to join Yong Kai's trilogy.

Weakened everyone and inflated Yong Kai himself, which is one of the reasons why Yong Kai dared to be rude to everyone.

Force is fundamental.

But the situation is different now, Wei Jun is about to end, once Wei Jun gets involved, the balance of power in Nanzhong will immediately become unbalanced, and Yong Kai will definitely end.

Obviously, Yong Kai was unprepared for this and was still doing his best to expand his power. At this moment, both Yuexi County and Cangyang County were ready to fight back.

Yongchang County, a little further south, is basically the territory of the Lu family.

The Lu family is also a common surname in Nanzhong. The representative of the family, Lu Kai, is a bit of himself, educated, knowledgeable, and well-known in the local area, so he has never been a bird.

Even if Yong Kai became the governor of Nanzhong, Lu Kai would not care about him. Although his official position is not high, the governor of Yongchang is still Yong Kai.

However, Lu Kai, a local snake, was quite capable, so the county guard sent by Yong Kai had no place to stand, and the government order could not do anything to Yongchang County without leaving the county guard's mansion.

Yong Kai was very annoyed by this, and even threatened to attack Lu Kai, but Lu Kai confronted him tit-for-tat and closed his borders to defend himself, so that no news from Yongchang County could get in, and no news could come out.

Yong Kai had no choice but to endure it and wait for the next opportunity.

As long as he can get both Cang County and Yuexi County and cut off the traffic connection between Yongchang County and central Shu, then Yongchang County will be his sooner or later, and this is impossible to change.

But the next opportunity will not come again.

At the beginning of the first month of the eighth year of Yande, a large amount of ordnance and materials had been quickly transferred to the three garrisons of the Wei army, and the armies also began to advance to the three garrisons, ready to arrive at the scheduled battle location and prepare for the war. in place.

The staff officers jumped up and down to conduct various tactical deduction, trying to deduce the possible direction of various wars.

Including Gao Ding's inability to kill Meng Huo and being killed by Meng Huo, including Gao Ding's rebellion, including Zhu Bao's rebellion, or Zhu Bao's incident being killed by Yong Kai in advance.

Some generals in the army feel that the staff department is always doing some boring things, and it is just a waste of time to conduct indifferent deduction on some events with extremely low probability of occurrence.

Wouldn't it be better if you have the time to plan your advance route?

But the facts have proved that it is better for generals to focus on fighting. There are many things that generals should not do and think about. No one knows how far such things will develop.

News came from Nanzhong that both Gao Ding and Zhu Bao were dead.

Before the Wei army sent troops.

The reason is that cronies around them betrayed.

The cronies around them betrayed them and informed Yong Kai of their conspiracy with the Wei army to plot against Yong Kai.

As a result of the action, both Gao Ding and Zhu Bao died.

Gao Ding was planning to kill Meng Huo secretly, but in the lair, Meng Huo directly led his cronies to attack him.

Gao Ding was defenseless, unprepared, and the defense force around him was insufficient, so he was caught off guard by Meng Huo.

Gao Ding was shocked and tried to resist. He tried his best to resist, trying to find a way to survive, but he failed. Meng Huo caught up with him and killed him with a single knife.

After Gao Ding's death, his cronies, friends and family were all slaughtered by Meng Huo. Meng Huo erased all Gao Ding's possessions in a short period of time by relying on his own prestige, and then rewarded Gao Ding with Gao Ding's family wealth The original subordinates.

Gao Ding's subordinates were in a panic, not knowing whether they should avenge Gao Ding or surrender to Meng Huo. As a result, Meng Huo directly sacrificed the gold and yuan policy.

Anyway, it is high-end money.

It is said that this guy has a lot of money, Meng Huo swallowed most of it, and the remaining half can be used to win people's hearts and achieve good results. Those who were about to rise up and resist were silent.

Meng Huo gave too much.

So under the established circumstances of Gao Ding's death, Gao Ding's trilogy all turned to Meng Huo, the prefect of Yueyi County, and Meng Huo successfully pacified the entire Yueyi County.

On the other side, Yong Lu secretly led an army to attack Zhu Bao, and caught Zhu Bao by surprise. Before he had time to defend the city, Yong Lu led people to break into the city.

There were only 3000 defenders in his lair, and Yonglu brought [-] people. After the two sides fought for a while, Zhu Bao was besieged in the mansion and could not move, leaving only the power to resist.

He couldn't figure out why Yong Kai's people knew that he had an agreement with the Wei people, so they were completely unprepared, and they were raided in their lair.

Now that his lair was destroyed, he was besieged in the mansion and couldn't move. Although the mansion he built was quite defensive, it was impossible for a mere mansion to last long.

He tried to send people out to ask the Wei people for help, but the warriors couldn't get out at all, and they were killed as soon as they got out, without any chance at all.

Zhu Bao was in despair.

Soon, his mansion could no longer hold on. Yong Kai's army smashed down his wall with a car, entered his mansion, and almost killed all his cronies. Zhu Bao persisted until the last moment, Still can't turn things around.

So he was beheaded and died tragically on the spot. All his family members were killed together, and his cronies were almost dead.

Chapter 1209

After solving Zhu Bao's resistance, Yong Kai immediately sent troops and cronies to Zang Cang County and occupied all the counties in Zang Cang County under Zhu Bao's command.

Those who were willing to surrender were accepted, and those who were unwilling to surrender were strangled. The entire Zhu family was killed by Yong Kai.

Of course, Cang County also fell into Yong Kai's hands.

Then he appointed Yong Lu, a confidant of the clan, as the prefect of Zangcang County.

Of the four counties in Nanzhong, three of them were controlled by Yong Kai in an instant. Yong Kai's strength increased greatly, and the situation in Nanzhong changed drastically.

The news came very suddenly, just five days before Wei Jun dispatched troops.

The army generals who were still mocking the superfluous actions of the staff members in the staff department were all dumbfounded, and many staff members in the staff department were also very surprised by this.

Only Fazheng looked confident.

"The battlefield is changing rapidly, and anything can happen. I have said this long ago. These things that are happening now have slightly increased the difficulty of our army's victory, but the outcome of our army's victory will not change! Gentlemen! Let's encourage each other !"

Deng Zhi was very puzzled by Fazheng's high-spirited appearance.

Le Jin was not so puzzled, because he knew about it.

He also knew that this matter was Guo Peng's secret order, and Guo Peng directly conveyed the order to Fazheng, letting Fazheng be in charge of operating this matter, and did not let Le Jin know about it too early.

"Your Majesty he..."

"General, Your Majesty has long said that what you want, Your Majesty, is everything. What you want is the royal land, taxes and soldiers, not a land of confinement. Your Majesty believes that although the transportation in Nanzhong is inconvenient, it is also rich in products. There are copper mines in Nanzhong, so they must be taken no matter what, and they will not share the profits with anyone."

Fa Zheng put away Guo Peng's secret warrant: "General, now Yong Kai has helped us wipe out the two hidden enemies Zhu Bao and Gao Ding, and we only have Yong Kai as the enemy left. According to Cang County, Yuexi County and Yizhou County."

Le Jin swallowed.

"Then... what about Yongchang County?"

"Nanzhong four counties, three counties are in my hands, and only one Yongchang county is left. Will there be any accidents?"

Fazheng's smile is very confident, with awe-inspiring killing intent and strong malice in his confidence.

Le Jin never knew where the malice revealed in Fazheng's words and deeds came from.

He also didn't know why Guo Peng would take a fancy to Fazheng, bypassing everyone and give Fazheng a secret order, let Fazheng get the real hammer, and then betray Gao Ding and Zhu Bao to let Yong Kai know.

The previous series of plans, including his and Deng Zhi's actions to persuade Gao Ding and Zhu Bao to surrender, their feelings were all blindfolds, and even their own people had to hide it from them.

Undoubtedly, Yong Kai must think that he has successfully eliminated traitors, the regime has become more consolidated, and the success rate of fighting against the Wei army has greatly increased.

But he didn't know that this was the purpose of His Majesty Wei Tianzi. His Majesty Wei Tianzi was very good at using his opponents to achieve his goals. His Majesty Wei Tianzi always regarded his opponents as his third hand.

Poor Yong Kai.

Thinking of this, Le Jin even felt that Yong Kai was a bit pitiful.

"Then Xiaozhi, shall we... send troops?"

Because the other party held the emperor's order in his hands, Le Jin, who was very afraid of the imperial power, even asked Fazheng such a question inadvertently.

Fazheng was taken aback for a moment, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

"That's natural, the obstacle is dead, now is the time to send troops."

Everything was well prepared. On February [-]th of the eighth year of Yande, the Wei army divided into three groups and aggressively attacked the four counties of Nanzhong.

The [-] main force of the Chinese army, led by Le Jin himself, will set off from Zhuti County, go south along Tushui, and take the old nest of Yongkai in Dianchi County, Yizhou County.

The Left Route Army, led by Huang Zhong with [-] soldiers, set out from Fuxian County, defeated the resistance army on Yonglu, went south along the river, captured Yelang, and then went south to Zangjiang River, and then went down Zangjiang River. Arrive in Wenshui, and then go west along Wenshui all the way, copying the back road of Yizhou County.

The Right Route Army led by Zhang He led [-] troops from Qiongdu County, defeated Meng Huo, went south along the Lushui River, swept the surrounding counties, crossed the Lushui River, entered Yizhou County, and took Dianchi County directly .

The three parties will join forces in Yizhou County to jointly wipe out the Yongkai and Yiqi tribes, plunder their land, and then discuss how to attack Yongchang County.

That's the whole strategic plan.
