Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 273 Liu Cong's Wish

The screen returns to Jiaozhou.

No matter what plans Cao Cao in Chang'an has, he will not change the plight of Jiaozhou. If Cao Cao's grain and grass stocks are not insufficient, the plight may be exacerbated.

"General, it takes another half a day to reach Jianning City!" A general cupped his hands at a young general.

The young general nodded and said: "Let the soldiers rest for half a stick of incense, and then continue to march, and enter Jianning City before night falls!"

"promise!"

The partial general who spoke just now did not hesitate, and immediately turned around to deliver the young general's order.

"Stop moving forward, rest where you are!" Pian Jiang galloped down on his horse, shouting all the way.

The soldiers who were marching towards Jianning stopped when they heard the general's shout, and they could also see black flags fluttering in the wind in the long queue.

This army of [-] soldiers and horses came out from Guangxin City and rushed to Jianning. Commanded by Liu Cong, they blocked the [-] enemy troops from Nanban.

After several days of fast traveling, they are now about to reach Jianning City, the city they want to defend.

Look at the army that stopped.

Liu Cong also got off his horse and took a few generals to the side. Although he ordered the rest, but time was running out, and he needed to discuss how to defend Jianning City without delaying the rest. It was the best of both worlds.

Among the [-] soldiers, more than half of them are recruits recruited temporarily without any training.

If you don't make a good plan, even if you have a city wall to rely on, you won't be able to stop five times as many enemy troops for a long time, and you may be scattered as soon as they come into contact.

"How is the situation now?" Liu Cong asked.

When starting from Guangxin City, many scouts have been dispatched, and they rushed over to investigate first. After all, it is much faster to act alone than to act with a large army, and it is also necessary to find out the situation of the enemy. , to make better arrangements.

heard.

One of the generals cupped his hands and said, "Return to the general, the vanguard of the Southern Barbarians now has a total of [-] soldiers and horses. They have already passed Shakou, and they will be able to reach beyond Jianning in at most two days. If they march day and night, they only need one day." With more days, we will be able to reach beyond Jianning!"

"That is to say, if we arrive at Jianning tonight, the enemy army may approach the city tomorrow night?"

Liu Cong also frowned. He knew that time was running short, but he didn't expect it to be so tight, and there was no time left for him at all.

When they arrived at Jianning City, they also needed to deploy defenses, so it would take time. One could imagine the scene where the defenses were deployed on their side, and the enemy army had already approached the city.

"Exactly!" Pian Jiang said truthfully.

Liu Cong stretched out his left hand, rubbed his brows, and said, "How about the officials in Jianning?"

"The defense in the city is only [-] soldiers, and it is under the control of the Jianning prefect. After the Jianning prefect knew that the Nanman army was rising, he ordered that the villages on the way of the Nanman soldiers be moved to avoid the disaster of the sword. Some officials in the city were afraid. , wanted to leave his post without permission, but was discovered by the Jianning prefect, who killed him on the spot, and stabilized the panic in the city!"

The general did not hide anything, and truthfully explained the news sent back from the probe.

"Well done, these useless officials are useless!" Liu Cong said with a stern look in his eyes, "Who is the prefect of Jianning?"

"This person is Jiang Wan, styled Gongyan, from Xiangxiang, Lingling. He came to Jiaozhou a year ago, and because of his talent, he was sent to Jianning to serve as the prefect!" said the general.

Liu Cong nodded, and did not continue to ask further questions. After all, it was enough for him to know this, and other information would be sent back to Guangxin City in the same way.

As for how to arrange it, that is his father Liu Biao's business.

Moreover, he was also able to know that Jiang Wan's position as prefect of Jianning was also appointed by Liu Biao. As for his elder brother Liu Qi, he certainly did not know, because the arrangements for officials in Jiaozhou were all arranged by Liu Biao, and Liu Qi would never ask. , the tension is something else.

In addition, Liu Biao had repeatedly ordered him not to set foot in a few places, so he could understand that there were some hidden secrets around Guangxin City, which were not known to outsiders.

In Guangxin City, only a few people can come in and out at will, and the rest will be arrested if they get close.

However, what Liu Cong wanted was not to know what was hidden there, but to have other wishes.

"Send people to Jianning and ask Jiang Taishou to move the people in the city and the surrounding areas to the back, implement strong walls and clear the fields, so as not to let the enemy have a chance to take back the slightest chance, and then move back after the war; send people to send the information Go back to Guangxin and mobilize food and grass to appease the people; in this way, the people will not have any complaints, and they will not be harmed by swords and soldiers!" Liu Cong ordered.

"promise!"

All the partial generals also surrendered.

Seeing this, Liu Cong also waved his hand and asked the generals to go down and make arrangements.

He also knew that if the walls were fortified and the wilds cleared, the people would definitely complain. After all, they had to leave their homes, but if they stayed, they would inevitably be harmed by the soldiers of the Southern Barbarians. It would be much better if they were appeased.

Of course, not all of them could be relocated. The soldiers of the Southern Barbarians were aggressive, and they could only relocate as much as they could.

All the generals were also people who knew a lot. When they saw Liu Cong waving their hands, they bowed their hands one after another, turned around and left, and didn't bother Liu Cong anymore, and they didn't have anything else to do. What happened after arriving at Jianning.

Waiting for the crowd to turn around and leave.

Liu Cong also sighed. Since the Jingzhou incident, he was escorted to Jiaozhou by Liu Qi and handed over to Liu Biao for disposal.

As Liu Biao's second son, Liu Biao didn't kill him, but talked with him for a long time, and then he was thrown into the army and rose from a small soldier.

When Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong went to Jiaozhou for military training, he was one of them, and he still had to stay in Jiaozhou in the end.

Without Liu Qi's order, even Liu Biao would not let him leave Jiaozhou.

after that.

He also listened to lectures under the seats of Lu Zhi, Huangfusong, Cai Yong, Qiao Lao, Sima Hui, etc., and experienced a lot of tempering before he became what he is today, who is different from before.

Just like before, he was just a domineering and incapable second-generation official, and now he is not only capable of both civil and military skills, but he can be regarded as a person with some ability.

With the current changes, it can be said that he has an inseparable relationship with Liu Qi. If it weren't for Liu Qi, he would not have the current ideas, and he can command troops and make many orders.

"Look, brother, this time, I will never let you down again!" Liu Cong clenched his fists tightly, his eyes flashed with determination, and murmured.
