Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 274
Two days later.
Outside Jianning city, now there are camps standing tall, flags flying, and the Nanman army gathered in front of Jianning, continuous and mighty.

Countless soldiers in armor walked around the camp from time to time.

Compare.

On the city wall of Jianning, although there were flags and flags fluttering in the west wind, the flags fluttered in the wind, whistling, but compared to the number of people, there was a lot of difference.

The soldiers standing on the city wall looked at the endless barracks outside the city. Although there was fear in their eyes, they still held spears and stood straight on the edge of the city wall, watching vigilantly.

There are also many soldiers walking back and forth, carrying stones and other defensive weapons from the city to the city wall, preparing for the defense of the city.

Passage in front of the tower.

Liu Cong, dressed all over his body, rested his sword on the sword with one hand and propped himself on the edge of the city wall with the other, watching the enemy camp not far away.

Before the night fell the day before yesterday, he had already led [-] troops to Jianning City and had only prepared for a day. However, early this morning, he heard the news of the enemy's arrival.

Moreover, when the soldiers of the Southern Barbarians arrived, they did not organize troops to attack immediately, but set up camp three miles away.

Looking at the endless enemy camps.

Liu Cong also frowned, facing such a situation, no one can relax.

"Gongyan, how many people in the city and surrounding people have moved!" Liu Cong turned to look at a young scribe and asked.

Seeing the young scholar, facing the mighty barbarians, he only frowned, no fear in his eyes, and nodded in agreement.

And that young scribe was Jiang Wan, Jiang Gongyan, the prefect of Jianning.

"Back to the general, except for some occupied places, more than half of them were moved to the rear yesterday, and now the rest can be moved away at once!" Jiang Wan cupped his hands.

Liu Cong nodded, and said: "So, let's prepare for the final relocation, the sooner the better, once the enemy launches an attack, there is no time to think too much!"

"promise!"

Jiang Wan didn't refute it either. This was also a fact. If the barbarians attacked the city, they would have no time to transfer the people. They could only transfer all the people out before the barbarians attacked the city.

As for Jianning, there is still nearby, except for the two armies, there is no human habitation anymore. This is the plan to fortify the wall and clear the wilderness.

"General, Yong Kai, Zhu Bao, and Gao Ding dedicated the two counties of Zangcang County and Yuezhang County as the guides of the Nanman, and came to capture Jianning, and the people of the two counties could not escape; Yongchang Prefect Wang Fu and meritorious Cao Lu Kai, knowing the situation in Jianning, organized a conscript of [-] soldiers and horses, and sent letters to Jianning, and they are coming to Jianning, and they can arrive by tonight at the latest!" Jiang Wan said.

Yongkai, after Shifang Hou Yongchi, was the former prefect of Jianning. Because of improper management, he was greedy and often oppressed the people, making the people of Jianning miserable. Liu Biao also demoted him to Cang County, and let Jiang Wan take over Jianning and take office. The prefect of Jianning took the post, but he didn't expect that after the Nanman uprising, he would directly rebel.

This is just Liu Biao's kindness. If Liu Qi did what he did, he would have killed him long ago, and there would be no misfortune.

Liu Cong nodded. He also knew about this. If Yong Kai, Zhu Bao, and Gao Ding hadn't even resisted, they would have handed over the land of the two counties, and the Nanman army would not have reached Jianning so quickly. , at least it can be delayed for a day or two.

A look of sternness flashed in his eyes, and he said: "When the three of them made such a decision, they had already decided their ending. They are all just clowns, so there is nothing to worry about. The opponent of our army is the barbarian king Meng Huo. !"

heard.

Jiang Wan also became silent. After all, it is useless to say anything now, things have already happened, even if he wished to tear up the three traitors Yong Kai, Zhu Bao, and Gao Ding, the main enemy he has to face now is Meng Huo, the barbarian king.

"Gong Yan, you can also transfer with the last group of people. On the way, let Yongchang Taishou and Gongcao lead the two thousand soldiers and horses to escort the people away. There is no need to rush to support!" Liu Cong's voice changed. , said.

The voice fell.

"The general thinks that I am afraid of death?" Jiang Wan stared at Liu Cong, frowning.

Liu Cong didn't care either, shook his head, pointed at the barbarian camp in the distance, and said, "How long does Gong Yan think we can guard Jianning with the strength of our army?"

"This!"

"Gong Yan is a talented person and should not be buried here. There are me and [-] soldiers here, which is enough!" Liu Cong said firmly.

After coming to Jianning, he also discussed with Jiang Wan how to defend the city. He also knew that Jiang Wan's talent was beyond his comparability. A man full of knowledge, he didn't want Jiang Wan to lose here.

"My subordinate is the prefect of Jianning!"

Jiang Wan also expressed his attitude in one sentence, with a firm look on his face.

Looking at Jiang Wan's expression.

Liu Cong was silent for a while, and said: "It's up to you, I guess the Nanman army will attack the city soon, before that, make all the arrangements, and remember to send an order to the Yongchang prefect to lead his troops to escort the city along the way." There is no need to come to Jianning to transfer the people above, because there is no need for that!"

Done.

He didn't pay attention to Jiang Wan any more, turned around, put his hand on his saber, and walked away, preparing to leave the city wall. He also needed to arrange various matters and prepare to resist the Nanman army's attack on the city.

"promise!"

Jiang Wan bowed to Liu Cong's back.

He also understood the reason why Liu Cong refused to let Yongchang Prefect Wang Fu and Gongcao Lu Kai lead their troops to support, just like Liu Cong's last words "because there is no need for that"!
Yongchang only had [-] soldiers, and the remaining [-] soldiers and horses were also improvised.

If two thousand soldiers and horses are thrown in, it can be said that there will be no waves, so why continue to let them come to support, it is better to escort the people who are already on the road to leave, instead of running to die.

It can be said that it is the same whether it is support or not, so there is no need for that.

As for what will happen if he stays in Jianning, he doesn't think about it, and he doesn't want to think about it. He just needs to do the things in front of him well, and that's enough.

immediately.

Jiang Wan also turned and left. He also needed to arrange the last thing, to send the last group of people away, and to send Liu Cong's order to the Yongchang prefect Wang Fu.

As for the soldiers on the city wall, they didn't have any thoughts about the departure of Liu Cong and Jiang Wan.

Except for standing straight by the city wall with a spear in hand, staring at the barbarian camp in the distance, the rest of the soldiers are busy and have their own responsibilities.

The war is about to begin.

There is simply no time for them to relax.
