Three Kingdoms: Becoming Cao Cao's Chief Adviser at the Start

Chapter 177 Sending troops to Nanman to capture Meng Huo alive

Yizhou Administrative Office, Luo County.

"Counselor, Jiaozhou has changed recently! 35

A dark guard in front of Cao Yang is explaining.

At this moment, less than a day after he took over Yizhou, Soochow Jiaozhou had already begun to prepare for trouble.

Cao Yang put the tea cup in his hand to one side and said with a light smile.

"Tell me, what is Soochow doing recently?"

Jiaozhou is adjacent to Jingzhou and Yizhou. At this time, something has changed. Cao Yang can think of Soochow's intentions with his feet.

I saw his dark guard say.

"Eastern Wu led nearly tens of thousands of troops to Jiaozhou, claiming to be training troops."

"In addition, we have already detected Gan Ning's trace in Hanzhong County. 99

"Now he is stationed in a cottage with his subordinate Jinfan Camp, and it is estimated that there are about 1,000 people! 39

Hearing this, Cao Yang nodded.

Sure enough, the movement of Soochow was to attract Cao Yang's attention, so that Gan Ning would not be noticed.

At the same time, it can also deter Cao Jun with the name of training troops.

For Cao Yang, who had already seen through Soochow's intentions, this would be of no use, but it was nothing more than stealing the bell.

However, this Gan Ning brought over the elites of his subordinates, a thousand Jinfan battalions.

he said with a smile.

"In that case, let him toss, we don't need to pay attention!

"How can you dare to send troops in the current state of Soochow?"

Then he looked at the dark guard again and said softly.

"What's going on in Xiliang now?

Although Soochow intends to intervene, it is clear that when Ma Teng sends someone over to negotiate with Zhang Lu's "880" is the top priority.

The dark guard shook his head.

"Not yet!"

After hearing the answer from the dark guard, Cao Yang waved his hand.

This can't help but make him fall into contemplation, it is reasonable to say that this week, Ma Teng's figure in Xiliang is not to be seen.

But now it has been ten days, Xiliang should have negotiated with Zhang Lu anyway.

Now that there is no news, Cao Yang can't help but be slightly stunned. There is no danger of delaying the arrival of Xiliang in Hanzhong County.

According to the normal speed, it should have arrived in five days, and now it has been ten days, which can not help but let Cao Yang show a smile.

Now, it should be Gan Ning and the others who are more anxious than him.

It would be better if the people from Xiliang didn't come, so I just took this opportunity to get acquainted with the things in Yizhou, and at the same time pacify Nanman.

At present, Yizhou has less than 10,000 troops stationed in each county, and the entire Yizhou has less than 60,000 troops.

The main reason is that Nanman and Zhang Lu divided too many soldiers in Yizhou, otherwise Yizhou would never have come to this point.

Cao Yang looked at the soldiers on the side and said loudly.

"Come here, call me, Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, and Zhang Fei will come.

In just a moment, everyone came here.

Seeing the number of people moving so quickly, Cao Yang nodded with satisfaction.

He looked at the crowd, and didn't intend to betray him and said directly.

"We are going to send troops to pacify the Nanman. 39

"Zilong, Yide, Zhongkang, the three of you will go to order your troops immediately, 10,000 infantry, 5,000 fine cavalry, and 5,000 archers. That's all."5

"Kong Ming, you go to dispatch the heavy grain and grass.

The three Zhao Yun immediately went to order troops when they heard the news, while Zhuge Liang showed a hint of hesitation and couldn't help asking.

"Master, we have only arrived in Yizhou for less than a day. Are we going to start preparing for the deployment of troops?"

Now that Yizhou has just changed hands and has not stabilized yet, Cao Yang has started to send troops, which makes him a little worried.

Looking at Zhuge Liang who was worried, Cao Yang said calmly.

"Now that Liu Zhang is no longer in Yizhou, what are you worried about?"

"And with Lu Su and Fa in Luo County, there is no need to worry at all.

"We should pacify the internal strife first, and then the foreign enemies!

"What's more, within a week, Nanman will be able to calm down."

At this time, Zhuge Liang nodded and realized it.

It turned out that he was overthinking it.

He bowed and left.

Zhuge Liang's heart stirred up a little, but he didn't expect that the military advisor had already calculated it.

If the Nanman can be pacified within seven days, then Yizhou will have no worries, and only a small Zhang Lu in Hanzhong County will remain.

The internal strife should be quelled first, and then the foreign enemies!

This sentence caused Zhuge Liang to ponder deeply. He sighed, and sure enough, what he saw about the military advisor was only the tip of the iceberg.

After a while, countless soldiers have gathered, and that's enough.

What shocked everyone even more was that Cao Yang only brought 30,000 soldiers to attack the southern barbarians.

If only 30,000 soldiers of the Nanman could solve the problem, then Liu Zhang would not have been so troubled at the time.

This Nanman clan has existed since Liu Biao served as the shepherd of Yizhou, so how could it be impossible to know that they can still occupy this generation?

Cao Yang rode forward alone, and Zhuge Liang followed him with a faint smile.

"I heard that the twelve cave masters under Meng Huo, the southern barbarian leader, have magical powers, and can even summon wolves, tigers and leopards to fight for them."

"I don't know how the military advisor plans to capture that Meng Huo?"

Regarding the news of Nanman, Zhuge Liang obviously spent time to investigate.

On one side, Zhang Fei raised his eyebrows.

"From what I can see, military advisors are troublesome, and Nanman is just a barbarian land, so why should military advisors do it?"

"How much ability can a barbarian king have? As soon as the snake spear of eight feet in my Zhang Fei's hand is gone, isn't it true that Meng Huo's generation will be captured?"

Without Cao Yang saying it himself, Zhuge Liang next to him explained it to him.

"Among the barbarians, Meng Huo has the greatest influence. If you want to gain access to the southern barbarian region, you must obtain Meng Huo's submission."

"How do you, Yide, a warrior, persuade others, the words in your mouth are the leather whip in your hand?

Hearing Zhuge Liang speak so unabashedly, Zhang Fei smiled.

"I didn't expect you to understand me quite well, Kong Ming! Hehe!"

Zhuge Liang smiled and shook his head, ignoring Zhang Fei.

However, there are also many places of scruples in going to Nanman. People in the world say that Nanman is a land of barbarians.

The population is also slightly smaller than other places, and there are mountains for shelter.

Because of this, Liu Biao and even Liu Zhang were not able to pacify Nanman.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang said suddenly.

"We are about to arrive at Qianwei County, and it is convenient for Meng Huo Nanman's territory!

Cao Yang nodded and said with a light smile.

"Everyone, prepare to be stationed ahead.

Nanban was extremely desolate, and a county had only three to four counties in total, and the scale was not large.

There is no difference between the army station stationed on the county side and the army station stationed in the field.

Zhuge Liang, who was on the side, said with a smile with a funny look on his face.

"The strategist is so blatantly stationed here, which is too ignorant of the Nanman King?"

From a distance, the place where Cao Yang is stationed is extremely flat and seems to have no problems, but it has a fatal drawback.

There is no shelter around, let alone wind and rain, if the enemy sees this, how can they resist not attacking?

Cao Yang said with a light smile.

"If it's not so blatant, how could Meng Huo come to attack us?

For Meng Huo, Cao Yang has never been forgotten. Although this man is courageous and capable, it is not difficult for Cao Yang to capture him.

Hearing Cao Yang's words, Zhuge Liang was taken aback for a moment, and then he suddenly understood.

"So, Sergeant, you did this on purpose.

Cao Yang suddenly said with a faint smile.

"Kong Ming, look at the western mountain.""

After hearing the words, Zhuge Liang immediately looked towards the west, and vaguely even saw a few people in animal skins looking towards Cao Jun's station.

Zhuge Liang showed a hint of surprise.

According to the situation just now, the position where they were stationed was even on Meng Huo's face.

Moreover, the smoke rising from the cooking in the logistics exposed the current position without fear.

Looking at the indifferent Cao Yang, Zhuge Liang became more curious.

It turned out that the strategist had never considered concealing his location at all.

And the location of the garrison is to lure Meng Huo to attack, this is clearly a blatant provocation in front of Meng Huo!

Cao Yang looked at the very neat camp that had been stationed behind him, he smiled and said.

"I won't attack today, let's rest first!

"Besides, the logistics crew, you guys have a vigil today! 99

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang showed a smile.

The logistical gangs are all old and weak, but now they are being kept at night.

"Hahaha, the strategist is so sinister, showing the enemy as the old and weak of the Huotou Army, how could the Nanman leader be able to hold back when he sees this scene! 95

When Meng Huo came over, he found that the soldiers he was fighting against were all old, weak, sick and disabled. As soon as this scene appeared, although he had never seen Meng Huo, he could still think of Meng Huo's expression.

Cao Yang looked at everyone and said lightly.

"During the preparation period, I can't take off my armor, and I can't fall asleep before today!"

At the same time, a spy came to the tribe at the Nanman station.

"Report, Your Majesty, that Cao's army has arrived at Qianwei County and stationed in the valley!

This made Meng Huo stunned for a moment. Before Yizhou changed hands, Meng Huo naturally knew about it.

No matter how Yizhou changed hands, the king of the southern barbarians would always be him, and it would not have any influence at all.

He thought a little.

"There is no grass and no trees in the valley, and Cao Jun has no place to rely on.

He was originally worried that Cao Jun's chief military officer might come, but now it seems that the person who came will march to fight, and then he laughed.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that Cao Jun would send someone who doesn't know how to march."

"Little ones, follow me to take down Cao's army tonight!

"To dare to invade my southern barbarian land, let him go from where he came from today!

He looked at his general and said loudly like thunder.

"Busy teeth grow, you go to lead three thousand swordsmen and axemen, and tonight you will be ready to attack Cao Cao's army with me at night!"

The corner of Meng Huo's mouth, who was still slightly worried, showed joy.

Soon several hours have passed, and now it is night.

Under the moonlight, Meng Huo, with his generals, Maggie Chang and 3,000 knives and axemen, hibernated several miles away from the Cao army camp.

And tonight is even more windless, the moon and stars are few in the sky, and the surroundings of Cao Jun's station are clear at a glance.

Meng Huo couldn't help showing a smile.

"It's really God's help, there can't be an ambush around here.

"Unless that Cao Jun hasn't slept yet.

Looking at a subordinate on this side, Meng Huo seemed to be a little worried, and he waved his hand.

"Go and see, that Cao Jun's vigil patrol soldiers. 99

The soldier nodded and smiled.

"Okay, Your Majesty, wait for me for a moment!

Obviously, he was still a little worried that Cao Jun might have other tricks.

It didn't take long before the scoundrel who dared to investigate came back and said.

"Your Majesty, the night watchmen of the Cao Bureau are just old and weak, and they have already slept to death!"

As soon as these words came out, Meng Huo showed a hint of joy and said coldly.

"This Cao Jun really doesn't care about me Meng Huo, and will let them suffer today!"

"Kill me little ones!"

The barbarian knife and axemen who were dormant in the grass immediately attacked Cao's camp 1.3.

The torches were lit in an instant, and the appearance of three thousand swordsmen and axemen was revealed, all covered in various animal skins, and the skin was slightly darker.

"kill!!"

With a roar of the barbarian army.

Before they could do it, hundreds of soldiers appeared on the haystacks on both sides.

At the same time, several tents at the front of the camp were broken open.

The center of the camp that was stationed was actually empty, and thousands of soldiers were already waiting here!

Countless soldiers were killed directly. Among them, Zhang Fei and Xu Chu had been waiting for a long time, and they were the first to kill Meng Huo.

Meng Huo froze and shouted loudly.

"Cunning!! 99

How could they only have three thousand swordsmen and axemen to be the opponents of Cao Jun, who had been prepared for a long time.

"Withdraw! Withdraw! Withdraw!

However, Meng Huo did not have any chance at all. Although these infantrymen were only 5,000, they were all heavy infantry in heavy armor.

In the face of those knife and axe hands, it is simply crushing!

That Zhang Fei and Xu Chu were ordered by Cao Yang to go directly to Xu Chu.

However, in this flat terrain, Zhang Fei and Xu Chu came on horseback, so how did Meng Huo escape?

The double axes in Meng Huo's hands could not resist Zhang Fei's spear and Xu Chu's broadsword.

Zhang Fei and Xu Chu, any one of them fighting alone, I am afraid that he is not an opponent.

What's more, the two of them came together.

Meng Huo was directly captured by the two men, and the other soldiers surrendered when they saw Meng Huo being captured!

The battle ended so quickly, in less than a quarter of an hour, Meng Huo was captured!
