Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 121
The football thing has come to an end for the time being.

The training continues, and Zhang Ming will often find time to train with them.

Time passed slowly, and the tax collection went relatively smoothly.

Under the oppression of Zhang Ming's vicious name, the tax was slowly collected back.

A large amount of tax was collected by Zhang Ming, which was much more than Youzhou's annual tax in previous years.

The big man was hollowed out by these aristocratic families.

Now, the imperial court is very poor, and it is difficult to gather thousands of troops.

Of course, the emperor himself had money by selling his officials, but he was not willing to take the money out.

It's October.

The counties have brought football back, and at the same time, they have formed two teams and are stepping up training.

At this time, the weather is getting colder.

Wuhuan in the north has become stronger again.

They became stronger not because they had more population or anything else, but because they had a strong leader who unified most of the tribes.

This person is Qiu Liju of Wuhuan.

He was very strong, and after an internal war, he unified the tribe.

"Your Majesty, our [-] troops have assembled and we can invade south at any time."

Qiu Liju nodded, looking at the dozens of generals under his tent, he felt rather proud.

After unifying the tribe, Qiu Liju wanted to invade the south instead of looting various places. He might not be able to survive the winter.

"Okay, this time we will invade Jizhou, Qingzhou and Youzhou."

Qingyouxu is close to the grassland, and there are several passages. The whole late Han Dynasty was looted by grassland people several times.

"Report."

Just as Qiu Liju was about to give an order, there was a call from outside the tent, Qiu Liju frowned and said, "Call in."

A soldier ran up in a hurry, knelt down on one knee and said, "Report to the king, a Han man was caught outside and said that he has important information to report to the king."

"Bring it in."

A young man was brought in timidly, and then pushed to the ground.

"Who are you? If you have anything to report, if you can't prove your role, kill Jiqi."

"Useful, useful."

"My surname is Li, and I originally belonged to the Li family in West Liao County, but Zhang Ming, the prefect of Liaodong, killed my whole family and confiscated my house. I was not killed in other places at the time, but all my family property was seized by Zhang Ming."

Qiu Liju's expression froze, and he said in a deep voice, "You want me to avenge you?"

The man surnamed Li was shocked, this Qiu Liju was too murderous.

"No, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have important information."

Qiu Liju stared at him, making Li tremble all over.

"Say."

"My lord, that Zhang Ming recently robbed the entire family in Youzhou, and all the families paid taxes to him. Now that he has collected a huge amount of money and taxes, the king can send Wang Shi south to rob Zhang Ming's money."

Qiu Liju thought about it for a while, and then said: "Take it down first."

"What do you think?" Qiu Liju asked after he was taken down.

A tribal leader stood up and said, "Your Majesty, my subordinates have also heard about this matter. Zhang Ming is ordered to collect taxes, but he is only a prefect. I am afraid that he will not be able to collect much tax. My subordinates know the cunning of these Han families."

Qiu Liju nodded, the old Wuhuan King was killed by Zhang Ming, they were in chaos for a while, and now they are unified again.

Winter has come, and troops must be sent to plunder.

"Then send [-] troops to Liaodong, and the rest of the army will plunder Youzhou and Qingzhou."

Qiu Liju didn't dare to send all his soldiers and horses to Liaodong. If they didn't plunder enough food to survive the winter in Liaodong, their winter would be miserable.

"Ba Gantuo, you go to Liaodong and bring the Han man with you. If the other party is telling lies, you will be stripped naked and frozen to death in the wild."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wuhuan King Qiu Liju ordered [-] troops to attack Liaodong, and the rest scattered and looted various places.

Wuhuan's army, mighty and mighty, divided into several groups to attack.

Zhang Ming has deployed spies in many places, but only in the Han territory.

A few days later, Zhang Ming received the news.

After receiving the news, Zhang Ming urgently called Guan Zhang Zhao, Xu Huang, Xi Zhicai, Tian Feng and Chen Yang.

These are currently his team.

"There's news from the border that the Wuhuan army is heading south again, what's your plan?"

As soon as Zhang Ming finished speaking, Zhang Fei jumped up and said, "Come and kill as many as you want, I'm afraid of a ball."

Everyone ignored Zhang Fei's words, and Xi Zhicai said, "My lord, we just need to stick to it. According to our current strength and supplies, the enemy cannot break through."

What Xi Zhicai said was relatively safe, but Zhang Ming didn't think so.

"Of course I'm fine in Liaodong, but the ministries in Youzhou may be slaughtered."

Zhang Ming looked at the crowd and made a decision: "Zhicai, Tian Feng, you two command [-] troops to defend the city, and I led [-] cavalry to the outside line to wait for an opportunity to attack."

Everyone saw that Zhang Ming had made a decision and could only implement it.

"My lord, this subordinate suggests that we can directly attract the enemy to the city of Xiangping, so that other counties will not be attacked. Our army is here, and the supplies are concentrated in Xiangping, so the enemy can be easily attracted."

"Okay, Zhicai immediately arranges people to spread the news, and the rest of the staff immediately start preparations."

After Zhang Ming gave the order, the generals went to prepare nervously.

And Zhang Ming went to find Zhang Ning and Cai Yan.

"Yan'er, the wedding is just a few days away, but I'm afraid it won't be held as scheduled. Now that Wuhuan is going south to plunder, I must lead my troops to fight to drive away these invaders and restore peace to the people."

Zhang Ming took Cai Yan's hand, and Cai Yan said with a worried face: "Husband, go, pay attention to safety, Yan'er is waiting at home."

Zhang Ming nodded and left.

Zhang Ming made preparations that night, and then led [-] troops to leave the city.

"We go straight north, fight the enemy, and then go all the way south."

The other counties finally stabilized, and Zhang Ming would never allow it to be destroyed.

Xi Zhicai and others stepped up efforts to strengthen the city defenses and move various supplies.

Liaodong has entered a state of intense preparations.

Zhang Ming led the cavalry and ran towards the quilt for two days, then stopped.

The enemy is very close and will arrive in a day.

Wuhuan, [-] troops are coming, don't underestimate it.

"Report, General."

"The enemy's forward 5000 people set off overnight."

The spies probed the situation again.

Because Wuhuan had to bring some cattle and sheep with him when he went south, they divided the forward and middle army and the rear army, otherwise they would not be able to run fast.

The forward 5000 men are about to arrive, while the central army stays behind, waiting for the rear army to escort the cattle and sheep, which are their food.

After understanding the situation, Zhang Ming said: "Five thousand forwards, let's try to see if we can ambush them. Even if we can't, we should directly attract them to go south."

Zhang Ming and the others began to make arrangements. There was no dangerous place to ambush, so they ambush next to a small town.

Zhang Ming estimated that they would lose and loot the town here, so Zhang Ming and the others lay in ambush here.

The defense of the town is very weak. It is estimated that the cavalry may be broken through the low city wall after a few attacks.
