Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 669
Because the materials were not delivered in time, the northern army stayed in Jiaozhou for a period of time and did not participate in the conquest. The number of the northern army was extremely large. Since the Jianning period, their food and equipment had surpassed those of other armies, including the southern army. There is also some gap between the northern army and the northern army. After the supplies have not arrived, Huang Zhong is not in a hurry to send troops to crusade. Anyway, in Huang Zhong's view, there is no need to pay attention to these aborigines outside Jiaozhou.

Of course, during this period, Huang Zhong didn't just sit around. With Du Wei's help, he also personally went to the rainforest outside Funan to investigate, but he was ready for war, and the supplies finally arrived in Jiaozhou. At this time, Huang Zhong Also made plans to send troops.

Sitting in the Prime Minister's Mansion of Funan, Huang Zhong, Guan Yu, Xu Huang, and Du Wei were discussing the war.

Huang Zhong sat on the main seat with a solemn expression, but his face was less sad. After losing his only son, he seemed to be a different person, and his whole body was silent in the grief of losing his child. Xiaoxian After the emperor knew about it, he arranged a marriage for him very forcefully, completely ignoring Huang Zhong's refusal. Facing the edict of Emperor Xiaoxian, the loyal general couldn't refute it, so he could only marry his second wife.

General Huang's second wife is not from an ordinary family, but the granddaughter of the old Taiwei Liu Ju. The Liu family is a member of the royal family and is related to the general. After marriage, although the general has always remembered his deceased wife, he has never been close to Liu. , but Mrs. Liu did not complain, and was extremely virtuous. In the end, Huang Zhong also recognized this wife, and she gave birth to a daughter. The birth of the daughter made the general gradually get rid of the grief in the past.

Now, he has turned back into that resolute brave general.

"Gentlemen, I have searched everywhere these days. However, the area outside Funan is full of forests, and the map cannot be drawn. The thieves are hiding in it. It is really difficult to find them. An order came from the Taiwei's mansion, asking us to try our best to catch the thieves alive, and not to take their lives easily." Huang Zhong said, but Xu Huang was a little puzzled, and asked in puzzlement, "What's the matter with Sun Taiwei? ??"

"These thieves are looting everywhere, hurting my people, and even catching them alive, so they don't hurt their lives?"

Seeing his puzzled look, Huang Zhong said solemnly: "You are not allowed to speak ill of the Taiwei. I am a country of benevolence and righteousness, so I naturally have a heart of benevolence." Xu Huang was so angry that he almost smashed the copybook, and said helplessly : "Repaying grievances with virtue?? Fortunately, He Zi has passed away, otherwise the Taiwei will have to suffer a severe beating."

"Gongming." Guan Yu said in a low voice, "Yangzhou is building a canal. Cough cough"

Hearing Guan Yu's words, Xu Huang suddenly realized, grinned, nodded, and said, "No wonder. Then I have to apologize to the Taiwei. General, then we can't use fire to attack. Originally, in such a situation, the fire attack is the most suitable, but now, if we use the fire attack strategy, I'm afraid...we won't be able to catch a few living people." Xu Huang said with some embarrassment.

Huang Zhong nodded, looked at Guan Yu at the side, and asked, "Changsheng, what can you do?"

Guan Yu squinted his eyes. Over the years, he has been familiar with military books, and he has not forgotten Yuan Shu's ram Jiege, which made him grow up a lot. Some important decisions of the Northern Army, including the method of training the army, Huang Zhongdu handed it over to Guan Yu with peace of mind, and Guan Yu did not disappoint Huang Zhong. He came up with a new set of military training methods. This is also the idea he got from the books left by Yuan Shu. Let the army be divided into two parts, and then conduct a simulated battle.
Except for not being able to really kill people, all strategies can be used.

Guan Yu also loves to run around with the Northern Army, and he has no goal, just wandering around. However, what he requires is to march quickly. He has read many tactics of war, and finally regards soldiers as the core of his army. The Northern Army he led , I ran as far as Youzhou. I ran back on foot and almost killed a few soldiers. This kind of military training method is frightening, and the most terrifying thing is that Guan Yu ran with them, and the soldiers said no. What happened, after all, people are still wearing thick armor.

Under this method of military training, the Northern Army who stayed in Luoyang all the year round was still not surpassed by the Southern Army in terms of elite level. In terms of marching, they had already surpassed the Southern Army. Taiwei Sun Jian was born in the Southern Army. On the issue of the northern and southern armies, he still paid more attention to the southern army. It is said that Huang Zhong once quarreled with Sun Jian because of the lack of supplies of the northern army. He felt that the supplies of the southern army should not exceed that of the northern army.

At that time, Sun Jian once said with a smile: "The thirteen lieutenants of the Southern Army, such as Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Sun Ce, can be described as fierce generals, and the food is better. Why not?"

Huang Zhong replied seriously: "Guan Changsheng, a warrior of the northern army, how can the food be inferior to that of the southern army?"

Sun Jian was speechless, and he gave up on his plan to increase the southern army's food.

Therefore, when encountering a problem, the first thing Huang Zhong thought of was the bearded man next to him. Guan Yu frowned, thought for a moment, and then said: "General, since we arrived in Jiaozhou, these people have been frightened." Out of courage, they have been hiding in the forest for such a long time, they dare not come out, they do not have a fixed house, it is easy to escape wherever they want, and it is not easy to ride horses in the forest, it is also difficult to catch up with them "

"I think. In such a terrain, what we need to pay attention to is not to let them escape. These people pose no threat to the Northern Army. Killing them is easier than slaughtering dolphins. However, the Taiwei's place There is an order, try not to kill. I think that at such a time, the hounds are the most effective. The Northern Army should borrow hounds from Jiaozhou and Yangzhou. The hounds are very effective in catching these hidden thieves.”

"In addition, to prevent them from escaping, General Huang can lead a battalion from Funan to conquer all the way. Gongming and I each lead a battalion to attack from the north and south respectively, leading them to escape westward. Beyond Funan is a long island. , there are seas on both sides, we just need to drive them to flee to the southwest and we can block them in one place." Hearing Guan Yu's words, Huang Zhong nodded, thinking that this strategy was good.

Guan Yu said again: "General, I will give you the detailed plan tomorrow."

"No need!" Huang Zhong interrupted him directly, and he said, "You will be in charge of this conquest. Don't ask me everything."

"But this." Guan Yu wanted to say something, but Huang Zhong stopped him, turned his head, looked at Du Wei who was on the side, and asked, "Minister Guo, can Funan find a hunting dog?" Du Wei looked blankly Looking at him without words, Huang Zhong slapped his forehead violently, almost forgetting about the deaf man, he took a pen and ink, and wrote his inquiry on the paper, Du Wei took a look and understood their question idea.

"I can find it, but not many, I can borrow it from Jiaozhou and Yangzhou"

On the next day, the Northern Army left Funan in a hurry. Guan Yu led a battalion, but in fact, he was in charge of the entire Northern Army. Huang Zhong handed over the power to him, only as the commander in name, saying Speaking of it, Huang Zhong didn't think he was lacking in talent, but he just thought that since he was old, he should try to let Guan Yu fight with so many regiments. This would definitely be good for Guan Yu. he.

Guan Yu pursued the speed of soldiers, ordered the deployment of each battalion, and sent troops directly. The entire Northern Army dispatched troops quickly, but it caught the local natives by surprise. Originally, they seemed a little panic because of the arrival of the Northern Army, but the Northern Army has not been there for a long time. As soon as they slackened their actions, they encountered a head-on blow. In front of the Northern Army, the army of these people was indeed, as Guan Yu said, no threat at all.

The equipment of the Han army surpassed them by a lot. These savages holding bamboo spears, wearing sweaters, and only screaming in battle, met these people wearing several layers of fish scale armor and using the latest steel spear forged by the big man. They practiced every day. In the early encounters, a Northern Army soldier captured three or four hundred savages, and even a group of soldiers chased and killed thousands of people. It was unimaginable.

These aborigines don't have any tactics at all, and they don't even have a leader. They are the result of the union of several small tribes. In the eyes of the soldiers of the Northern Army, they are completely uncivilized savages, and they can't communicate with each other normally. , can only use swords to make them obedient, the early stage was very smooth, a large number of thieves were tied up and sent to Yangzhou, Cao Cao laughed.

But then, these people also learned to be good, and they no longer dared to fight head-on with the Han soldiers, and kept fleeing. Guan Yu was not in a hurry to kill them all, but kept compressing the area where they could move, forcing them to face west south escape
Jianning Changdao, southwest corner.

Hundreds of large ships stayed on the shore, and the soldiers of the Han army sat on the shore, and many of them lay directly on the ground. For these soldiers who have been wandering overseas for a long time, they can step on the solid ground. It was really a happy thing, Youtu looked at these soldiers, basking in the sun comfortably. During this period of time, they have been overseas, trading everywhere, the goods traded, ahem, let alone.

After Cao Cao gave orders, Youtu led his men to go to sea immediately. During these days, the harvest was huge, but he left Yangzhou for too long, and the soldiers all missed their hometown, and the harvest of this trip was enough, Youtu Only then did he prepare to return to the voyage. Of course, after returning, unload the cargo and continue to go to sea, Youtu thought in his heart, when suddenly a soldier shouted, Youtu was shocked, and quickly pulled out the sword on his waist.

In the distance, a dense group of natives is rushing towards here.

Youtu was at a loss, what is the situation? ?He just looked around and immediately ordered the soldiers to attack.

These thieves who came from Funan ran all the way to the southwest, and finally escaped from the capture of the northern army. When they looked up, they saw thousands of Han soldiers killing them. At that time, their legs softened, These people almost cried, what's going on? ?
"Hey hey, it just so happens that the goods are not enough, this is really the spoils bestowed on me by the gods!!"
