The Nanman's dispatch of troops was actually not a big deal to Lu Bu. Given the huge difference in equipment and generals, the Nanman did not have the qualifications to be Lu Bu's opponent.

But when Lu Bu asked about Nanman, he thought of another thing, which had nothing to do with the war, but cotton.

Even now, the products in Guanzhong have begun to prosper, but there are still people in the north who freeze to death every year, and the number is not small. Regarding the matter of cotton, Lu Bu had sent someone to the Western Regions to search for it, but he hadn’t returned yet. In the simulated world, places like this southern border are actually rich in products, but now they are full of miasma, and it is extremely difficult for normal people to survive in it.

Of course, the two worlds cannot be exactly the same, so Lu Bu wants to know some things about southern Xinjiang, such as how the climate is, whether it is possible to get rid of miasma, reclaim wasteland, and so on.

"This..." Yan Pu was a little dumbfounded. If you ask how these southern barbarians are fighting, what methods they have, and what living habits they have, then Yan Pu can indeed answer them.

But what is Lu Bu asking?

The ghost knows what the Southern barbarians do for a living, why they are not afraid of miasma, not to mention the weather, that place is a place of exile, who will go to normal people?

Why is my lord's question always so strange?

"My lord, the Southern Man has been a barren land since ancient times. It is a place where birds and beasts gather. It's hard to say how powerful it is, but they rely on their familiarity with the terrain and adaptation to the climate there. If they take the initiative to march south, it will be easy. Trapped by the miasma, it has always been defensive against the barbarians." Yan Pu bowed.

"There is one thing that I don't understand. Isn't this land in Nanzhong also the border of our Han people? There are no Han people here?" Lu Bu asked.

How does it feel, this place in southern Xinjiang seems to be full of these southern barbarians.

"Of course there are." Yan Pu nodded and said, "However, most of the Han people in southern Xinjiang were dispatched by the imperial court. Firstly, they were dissatisfied with the imperial court, and secondly, they also wanted to survive in the local area, so most of them would choose to intermarry or marry local people. It is to choose to be attached. After a long time, it will be difficult to distinguish who is Han and who is barbarian. For example, the Yong family is a big family in Nanzhong. Different families come and go, but they have great prestige in Nanzhong, and all ethnic groups in Nanzhong are willing to support the Yong family."

In the past, when the Nanman came to commit crimes, the Yong family was more or less involved. Generally, those who were sent to suppress the rebellion mostly went to the Yong family to negotiate terms. All right, let's fight.

Most of the generals who have combat experience in the central Sichuan were fought from Nanman. Just like the Bingzhou army relied on fighting Xianbei, the Xiliang army fought against Qiang, and the Youzhou army fought Karasuma, most of the generals of Shu army showed their martial arts. Here, the existence of the Yong family is also very important to the scholars in Zhongshu, and it can be regarded as a hole card to threaten foreign officials.

The inexplicable death of officials over there is a very normal thing. It was not until Liu Yan used a large number of Dongzhou scholars and fought a few battles that the Yong family restrained, but it was only restrained. To gain a firm foothold here, the first thing to do is to visit the Yong family.

If Yong Shi nods, you can be an official for a long time. If Yong Shi doesn't nod or does something that makes Yong Shi dissatisfied, don't be surprised no matter what happens.

In short, the more remote the place, the easier it is for such a Tuhuang-style family to appear.

It can also be called sect thieves, but the difference is that the sect thieves in places like Nanyang are still scattered, but here in Nanzhong, the sect thieves seem to be only the Yong family.

"Yong family?" Lu Bu heard the words and thought about the Yong family's strategy. This kind of family must be eradicated.

He has never been to southern Xinjiang, and even if he wants to fight, it is impossible to fight now. Moreover, it is very difficult to eradicate such deep-rooted forces from the outside. It is best to disintegrate them from the inside.

What is Yong's greatest reliance?

It's not because of the strength of the troops themselves. In a place like that, it is doomed to not be able to raise many soldiers just by farming. The greatest support of the Yong family is probably the reputation in southern Xinjiang. This is the key to the success of the Yong family. The Yong family If the prestige built up by various ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang cannot be disintegrated, the foundation of the Yong family in southern Xinjiang cannot be untied.

"My lord, all the tribes of the Nanman are greedy for money. Now our army is attacking Chengdu, so it is inconvenient to entangle with them. As my plan, it is better to send someone to send some property. Send these Nanman away first, and wait for our army to break through Chengdu. Afterwards, how about doing the liquidation?" Yan Pu felt that this was not the time to fight the Nanman, if there was a fight, these barbarians would entangle you endlessly, which would be very difficult.

The best way now is to stabilize these southern barbarians, first concentrate on attacking Chengdu, and after Chengdu is captured and Bashu returns to their hearts, it will not be too late to deal with the Yong family.

"Have a fight first, and then discuss with him!" Lu Bu shook his head.

His primary goal now is indeed to attack Chengdu, but people have already fought, if he doesn't fight, he will just give money away, and let the other party look down on him. The second is to lose prestige.

Lu Bu himself could not lose face, but he had to protect the face of the big man.

"Anmin." Lu Bu looked at Zhang Ji.

"The last general is here!" Zhang Ji saluted quickly.

"As for your 20,000 troops, go and expel this barbarian army, and then send someone to notify them and let their leader come to see me." Lu Bu looked at Zhang Ji and said.

"Here!" Zhang Ji agreed, bid farewell to Lu Bu, and led his troops to leave to face the barbarians directly.

Just like what Yan Pu said, the biggest advantage of the barbarian army is that it occupies a favorable location, which can make the Han army smash their heads in the southern border, but if they leave the southern border, regardless of their ability to command troops or equipment They are far inferior to the barbarian army of the Han army, so it is difficult to take advantage of it.

After Zhang Ji received the general order, he led his army to go out. On the third day, he encountered barbarian troops all over the mountains and plains heading here, and immediately launched an attack without saying a word.

Compared with most barbarian troops who still stay in group fights or small-scale cooperative battles, Zhang Ji's side directly cooperates with bows, arrows and shields, and complements each other. The two sides fought three battles in the Jiangyuan area. The barbarians lost three battles and three defeats.

Facts have proved that the reason why they feel that the opponent is difficult to deal with is only because they did not fight hard enough. When the damage was too much, the barbarians did not dare to make more entanglements.

The Shu army in front of me is obviously different from the previous Shu army. Not only the Nanman was beaten, but also the Yong family and other ethnic groups in South China who were paying attention to this battle were also fooled.

It's the Shu army. Why is the Shu army so different from the past?

Everyone doesn't understand, but it's useless to not understand. After the defeat, all the tribes in Nanzhong are obviously unwilling to send troops again. Although the Yong family knows the danger of Lu Bu's coming here, but by himself, he is not qualified to contend with Lu Bu Yes, he still has to rely on the support of all ethnic groups in Nanzhong to be qualified to compete with Lu Bu.

Seeing that the flags and drums in Nanzhong died down, the spring plowing in Shu County was over, and Lu Bu's preparations were almost done.

In the past few months, Lu Bu raised wood from various places, built 30 giant catapults, 300 small catapults, plus hundreds of ladders, hundreds of wells, dozens of carts and thousands of vehicles. shield car.

The purpose of nearly half a year of preparation is to be able to take down Chengdu as quickly as possible.

As the barbarian army was repelled, the last battle against Shu began under the command of Lu Bu.

On this day, huge stones were thrown towards the city wall of Chengdu from a long distance away, and the huge rumbling sound startled the Shu army who had become accustomed to Anyi.

The general guarding the city hurriedly looked out of the city, but saw the huge catapult carts roaring at the city wall of Chengdu like giant monsters in the distance.

Although the city wall could not be destroyed, the thunderous roar, the splashing gravel, and the puddles of meat mud that were unfortunately hit by the boulder severely impacted the fragile vision and soul of the soldiers of the Shu army at the head of the city.

The Guanzhong army, which had been silent outside the city for nearly half a year, finally started to attack. This should have been expected, but when the opponent suddenly launched an attack, the Shu army, which had been fully prepared, was a little difficult. Get into this state of war.

Especially when the boulders that fell like meteorites fell on the city wall, morale declined rapidly under the bombardment of these boulders.

And these bombardments are clearly just the beginning.

Standing on the city wall of Chengdu and looking down at this moment, one can see a shield chariot moving forward. Under the protection of the shield chariot, the enemy soldiers are protected by the shield chariot, and the arrows shot here are difficult to cause damage, while the opponent's archers are constantly attacking. Throw in the direction of the city.

In addition, a series of ladders and wells built according to the city wall of Chengdu, like giant beasts crawling forward, are constantly approaching the city wall. Rows of catapults stop after the city wall is within range. It is not as earth-shattering as a giant catapult, but it is faster and more lethal.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the city walls of Chengdu quickly passed from the quiet and peaceful holy place to the Shura purgatory full of corpses and blood.

The Shu general who was in charge of defending the city quickly ordered the crowd to start defending, the archers began to counterattack, and at the same time sounded the alarm, announcing the beginning of the last battle against Shu.

In the city of Chengdu, even though it was far away, they could still hear the loud noise. Fazheng and Gan Ning stood up at the same time and looked at Yuan Chu.

"It's finally started!" Gan Ning looked at Fazheng, "When shall we do it?"

Fazheng obviously had a plan in mind, looked at Gan Ning and smiled, "How do you think we can help the lord win this battle quickly?"

"Of course it is to open the city gate!" Gan Ning said with a smile, "I will take my brothers to fight, and I will definitely be able to kill a bloody road."

"Wrong!" Fazheng shook his head and laughed, "The gates of the city must be heavily guarded at this time. We need someone to help move the guards and horses away from the city. I want to send a signal to my lord tonight."

"Why would they listen to us?" Gan Ning asked puzzled.

"Isn't there someone of my own?" Fazheng said with a smile.

"Oh~" Gan Ning looked at Fazheng with a smirk on his face, "You are not a good person."

"Each each other!"
