?From the imperial court issued a proclamation to attack Liu Biao, to Cao Cao leading his army south to Jingzhou to start a war, there was still a period of preparation. However, it was urgent to mobilize a large army from the northern line of Yizhou to suppress the rebellion in the south, and it was impossible to delay at all.--.

Although the southern part of Yizhou is located in a remote area and there are barbarian tribes living in mixed villages, it is the rear of Yizhou after all. It can not only provide a large amount of war supplies, but also provide high-quality military sources. If the Sima family loses southern part of Yizhou, it is like being cut off from their legs and life will be very sad in the future.

In order to quickly regain the four southern counties of Yizhou, Sima Yi urgently transferred 60,000 Yan Yan's troops, who were originally stationed in the northern part of Yizhou, to the southern part of Yizhou. At the same time, he recruited soldiers from all the counties he actually controlled, and gathered 100,000 troops. He gritted his teeth and all of them were sent to the eastern front of Yizhou, preparing to fight with Huang Zhong and Li Yan, the subordinates of Liu Biao in Jingzhou.

Yan Yan received Sima Yi's order and did not dare to neglect it. He led his army to march day and night. In less than a month, he rushed from Langzhong to the Mumi area in the northern part of Yizhou County, and stationed in the north of Lagu, Nanshan and Tanlu Mountain, with the target pointing directly to Kunze.

Mumi is named after the grass. A grass called Mumi grows everywhere, which can detoxify. Locals all say: "Mumi is born in the mountains, and can detoxify. A hundred flowers are prevalent. If the birds are eaten by mistake, they will be poisoned by black beaks. They will fly to Mumi Mountain to peck Mumi to detoxify." Mumi is located upstream of Tushui, at the entrance to the northern end of the Nanshan La Valley to the west of Tanlu Mountain.

The garrison of the army in such a place with mountains, waters and valleys is enough to show that Yan Yan's marching and fighting is extraordinary.

Yan Yan was born in Shu and joined the army for many years. He was well aware of the dangers of the rebellion of the barbarians in the south and was familiar with some of the methods used by the barbarians to rebel. In Yan Yan's view, although the barbarians were powerful, they did not understand military and military tactics. As long as they saw a large army attacking, they would inevitably carry the plundered wealth and escape from the occupied city into the mountain village tribes located in the mountains and dense forests. They would never dare to fight according to the city. Yizhou County is the richest place among the four southern counties and the central area of ​​the south. As long as they seize important cities such as Kunze and Dianchi Lake in one fell swoop, it would be equivalent to completing half of the task.

Yan Yan adopted the strategy of going straight to Kunze, and did not care about the situation in Yongchang and Jingwang and other places. It was in line with the military strategy. However, he miscalculated the strength of his opponent. Now the people stationed in Kunze and Dianchi are not the rebellious southern barbarians, but the army led by Taishi Ci to attack Yinan. Without waiting for Yan Yan's army to approach Mumi, Wang Lu, who was active in Yelang, had already led the right army back to Kunze in advance, while Gan Ning left 10,000 soldiers originally from the Qinghuai Army to stay at the back of Buwei, and he led 15,000 infantrymen to detour Mumi, as if he wanted to cut off Yan Yan's army's retreat.

With a mindfulness and a lack of intention, a large army of 70,000 leisurely dealt with Yan Yan's tired army, Taishi Ci had absolute confidence and confidence this time to keep Yan Yan at the foot of Tanlu Mountain.

After Yan Yan asked the army to set up camp in Mu Mi'an, he sent Xizuo and secret spies to Kunze to conduct reconnaissance in Tonglao and Guchang. After a few days, Xizuo and secret spies returned to report one after another, saying that at present, there were barbarian soldiers guarding Kunze, Tonglao and Guchang, and the investigation of the people entering and leaving the city was very strict. As long as they saw the Han people, they would definitely ask them strictly, and they would even ask people in the city to claim it. Among the Xizuo and secret spies sent by Yan Yan, there were a few who were not experienced in dealing with it, and they were still detained and I don't know when they would be released.

After listening to the detailed report of the spies, Yan Yan realized that the rebellion of the Southern Barbarians entrenched in Kunze and other places was not a small fuss, so he took it seriously and specially formulated a plan to attack Kunze, then set up an ambush halfway, attack Tonglao and Guchang to rescue Kunze barbarians.

Yan Yan was busy, and Taishi Ci was not idle either.

Currently, the ones stationed in Kunze are a heavy equipment division and a light equipment division of the Qinghuai Army, with a total force of 10,000. The two places stationed in Tonglao and Guchang are one division, with a number of 5,000 people. The remaining 10,000 people are stationed separately in the six cities south of Kunze, Guchang and Tonglao defense lines. Dianchi Lake has 3,000 troops, Yu Yuan has 2,000 troops, Lianran has 2,000 troops, and the rest have 1,000 troops.

Although there are few troops stationed in Kunze City, Wang Lu rushed back in time with 25,000 people, so now there are nearly 40,000 people in the city. The 60,000 troops defending Yan Yan are enough. However, passive defense is obviously not Taishi Ci's style, and it cannot achieve the combat goal of completely annihilated Yan Yan's unit. Therefore, after some discussion, Taishi Ci and Li Ru decided on a strategy of "capturing the thief first".

Taishici's specific arrangement was to use Kunze City as bait to attract the main force of Yan Yan's army, and then send troops from Tonglao and Gu Chang to harass the two wings to provide cover for the Gan Ning army who was secretly sneaking out of the day and night. After Gan Ning arrived at Mumi, he could easily cut off Yan Yan's retreat and set off Yan Yan's old nest. If Yan Yan was in Mumi, he would be captured at that time; if Yan Yan was in Kunze, then when he heard that Mumi was attacked, he would definitely lead his army to rescue him. Taishici would all out of the city's troops and follow Yan Yan, blocking him in the Nanshan Lagu, forming a situation of closing the gates between the north and the south with Gan Ning.

In order to dispel Yan Yan's doubts about the southern La Valley, Taishici specially sent a 5,000-strong Jiaozhi soldiers, led by Wang Lu personally to ambush there. When Yan Yan led his army to pass by, the ambush rushed out and fought a few times, and then pretended to be defeated and scattered directly. In this way, Yan Yan would think that the barbarian soldiers' methods were just like this, and he would not be wary of Nanshan La Valley in the future, so he would naturally easily get into the trap reserved by Taishici.

Both sides of the match have their own plans, and everything seems to be going on normally according to their respective ideas.

Yan Yan personally led an army of 50,000 from the narrow and narrow Nanshan La Valley to Kunze. The army was very cautious in moving along the way, divided into three parts, maintaining a sufficient warning distance between the beginning and the end.

When the 50,000 troops reached the middle of Lagu, they were indeed ambushed by the Southern Barbarians. Unfortunately, this ambush was more like a farce organized by a mob. As soon as the two sides joined forces, the Southern Barbarians immediately showed signs of being unable to support the fierce counterattack of Yan Yan's army. After struggling for a moment, they were defeated. The originally ambushed fled everywhere, but the originally attacked side was majestic and reluctant to leave.

Seeing the barbarians gradually fleeing far away, Yan Yan immediately ordered the troops to stop pursuing and continue to maintain the solemn formation and advance slowly before. Yan Yan was worried that this group of barbarians would adopt a plan to lure the enemy into depth, so he seemed particularly careful.

However, what disappointed Yan Yan was that the army had never encountered any obstacles since then, and walked out of Nanshan La Valley very smoothly, only dozens of miles away from Kunze City. Please see if there is no advertisement for the first release -.
