Chapter 768: Joining troops to attack Ba County (third update)

In the rear, Xu Shu, Zhao Yun and others developed forces for the Chu State, and Yang Wei was in the Central Plains. Kou Feng, who was on the front line of Western Shu, naturally was not idle either.

After he defeated Zhang Ren in Fuling.

Meng Da was appointed to gather Zhang Ren's surrendered soldiers and organized 10,000 people. The original 80,000 people, totaling 90,000 people, was stationed in front of the southern gate of Ba County.

Bajun is also the same as Fuling.

Blocking the main road into Shu, there are paths with high mountains and dense forests on both sides. Only after breaking through the southern city gate and entering Ba County can you continue to go north.

No other choice.

In the past, there was Ba County and Fuling formed a defensive posture, and Kou Feng had to garrison Pang Tong on the intersection to defend the rear. Now that Fuling has been captured, Kou Feng naturally gathered a large army and all stationed outside the city of Ba County.

At this moment, outside the south city of Bajun, the atmosphere was very tense.

Because everyone knows that there will be a bloody battle to fight.

Yan Yan of Ba County had an army of 65,000, and he wanted to block the road ahead. Kou Feng had an army of 90,000, and he wanted to move Yan Yan, the road blocking stone.

However, during this period, both sides did not have much impulse.

Yan Yan didn't want to go out of the city to fight Kou Feng because he knew that he was not Kou Feng's opponent in the field. Kou Feng was also busy asking Meng Da to train and recruit those surrendered soldiers.

Try to train ten thousand troops as much as possible, and it is a battle.

On this day, the Central Army's tent was in the large tent.

Kou Feng summoned Meng Da.

Kou Feng had received the news from behind during this period. He naturally felt very happy. Hundreds of thousands of horses were constantly building cavalry.

If it weren't for the war, Kou Feng would have ordered Zhao Yun to start recruiting new cavalry in preparation for the battle with Ma Teng, Han Sui and his Western Liang cavalry.

Therefore, Kou Feng was very proud of his appearance.

Meng Da, who was ahead of Kou Feng, also had a similar expression. As a general of Chu, he held heavy troops in his hand. He was also very proud.

"How is Zijing's military training?" Kou Feng asked in a gentle voice.

"Your Majesty, after this period of training, Zhang Ren's influence has basically been eliminated. If you go out, you can fight." Meng Da replied with his fist.

The expression on his face was very confident, and he was good at leading troops to fight.

At this point, Kou Feng certainly didn't think Meng Da was lying to him. While he was satisfied, he also admired Meng Da's ability to lead troops in his heart.

In history, Meng Da’s reputation was not good.

He said that he killed Guan Yu and something, and rebelled against Liu Zhang, Liu Bei, and then rebelled against Cao Pi. It can be said that he was a repeated villain.

But none of this happened, and Kou Feng would not care about the things that didn't happen.

Moreover, there was a reason why Meng Da rebelled against Liu Bei in history, because his friend Fa Zheng was dead, and Liu Bei forgot Meng Da’s previous meritorious deeds and planned to kill Meng Da.

It made Meng Da rebellious.

As for Guan Yu's failure, there are many reasons. It cannot be blamed entirely on Meng Da.

Therefore, after Kou Feng realized Meng Da's talent, he felt that if Meng Da was used well, he would be a good general. He was not enough to compete with the Five Tiger Generals of Chu State.

Even worse than generals like Wei Yan, but at least they can be compared with those like Li Dian, and they are indispensable talents for the country.

"I'm relieved." Kou Feng smiled slightly and said. Then, he said, "Gu has also decided to attack Ba County in the near future. At that time, Zijing's troops will be front pawns."

Using surrendered generals to attack Yan Yan is definitely a blow to Yan Yan. This is the main reason why Kou Feng waited for Meng Da to gather his soldiers.

A front pawn is a compliment.

"I wish to charge for the emperor." Meng Da was overjoyed when he heard this and said.

"Well. Go down first and then calm down the soldiers' hearts. At that time, you can't embarrass me." Kou Feng nodded and said with a hum.

"No." Meng Da responded solemnly.

Immediately, Meng Da said goodbye. He was also in a hurry.

After Meng Da left, Kou Feng's heart became even more relaxed.

Everything is ready.

After sitting for a while, Kou Feng stretched out and walked out of the central army's tent. Standing outside the tent, Kou Feng looked up at the direction of Bajun.

What a tall city and dense forest.

It is really a one-man who can pass through thousands of men.

This is not the first time I have seen the steepness of Ba County, but Kou Feng couldn't help but exclaim. Shu is indeed the best place to save his life.

After watching for a while, Kou Feng personally took Kou Shui to inspect the camp.

When there is nothing to do, inspecting the camp is something Kou Feng often does. On the one hand, he treats it as a dispersion, and on the other hand, he is also urging the soldiers to not take it lightly.

It is a very beneficial thing for physical and mental health.

About an hour later, Kou Feng's inspection was almost over. But he saw Pang Tong hurried over not far away. The progress during this period was very smooth, and Kou Feng was in great joy.

Pang Tong's is not bad either, his complexion is rosy and he is very calm and composed.

However, this time something seemed to have happened, and Pang Tong left in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, the battle report of Wancheng." Pang Tong waved the memorial in his hand and said to Kou Feng.

"Oh." Kou Feng raised his eyebrows and quickly met him. When Xu Shu gave him news of a great victory ahead, he clearly explained that he might face revenge from Cao Cao.

Of course, Kou Feng also paid a lot of attention to the situation in Wancheng. Now that there is finally news, it naturally touched Kou Feng's heart. After he couldn't wait to meet him, Kou Feng didn't care about any etiquette, so he took the note from Pang Tong's hand and started reading it.

The memorial written by Jiang Wan made Kou Feng feel relieved.

The war in Wancheng was relatively smooth.

At first, Cao Cao led 150,000 cavalry and infantry troops south to Wancheng. Xu Shu ordered the walls to be strengthened and cleared, and only guarded important cities and abandoned minor cities.

Allow Cao Cao's army to rage in Wancheng.

It doesn't matter if the treasury of some county towns is burned down. Anyway, the Chu State has a lot of these supplies, but if Cao Cao plunders the people, Xu Shu will send Zhao Yun out to fight Cao Cao.

Think about it, when Zhou Yu plundered countless people, the army was dispersed by the people, resulting in a great defeat. Even if the elite Tiger and Leopard Cavalry fought with Zhao Yun during the process of plundering the people, they had much less advantage.

Therefore, the two sides won and lost each other in a continuous battle, and no one gained benefits.

When Kou Feng received this letter, Cao Cao probably had retreated to the north in shame.

"Hahaha, Cao Cao retreated to the north. Zhao Yun and Xu Shu attacked the Central Plains, and the brilliant achievements of the hundreds of thousands of war horses he robbed were preserved." Kou Feng laughed happily.

At this moment, Kou Feng couldn't help but think of Gongsun Kang. Gongsun Kang had just cut off their horse trading, but now the State of Chu can produce and sell it on its own.

There is really no need to bow to Gongsun Kang anymore.

So how can you not be happy?

"Haha, since this, as long as we can enter Shu and pacify Hanzhong as soon as possible, we can come into contact with Yongliang before Cao Cao pacified Yongliang. At that time, it would be impossible for Cao Cao to pacify Yongliang again. With the current wings and power of Chu State, he would have a chance of winning." Pang Tong was also very happy and said with a smile.

"Sixty percent, it's already very big." Kou Feng nodded and smiled.

"By the way, Gu has decided to attack Ba County soon. He hasn't decided on the specific date just now, and now it's just right. Let's put it in three days. Gu will attack Ba County within three months and kill towards Chengdu." Kou Feng pondered at first, then ordered loudly.

"No." Pang Tong replied.

This time, although Kou Feng was the head commander, the real army was actually mobilized by Pang Tong. After Pang Tong made a promise, he began to mobilize the army to prepare for the attack on Ba County.

The entire Chu army camp looked like sharpening his sword.

Compared with the fierce momentum of the Chu army camp, Bajun's momentum was much weaker.

The important city of Fuling was captured and the general Zhang Ren was captured. This blow was heavy. Even with the prestige of the veteran general Yan Yan Yan, the influence of this matter could not be completely calmed down.

Whether it is the upper-level general or the lower-level soldiers, the morale is not high. Some unstable members no longer have the will to resist.

If Yan Yan's prestige had not been supported by it, the entire Ba County might have collapsed.

Without the Chu army's strong attack, they collapsed on their own.

In the prefect of Ba County, Yan Yan sat in the position of commander. Below were Liu Xun, Deng Xian, Ling Bao, and some Yan Yan's confidant generals.

Yan Yan could certainly feel the abnormal movements of the Chu army outside the city. He summoned the generals for this purpose.

"According to the news that the spies heard, Kou Feng has begun to deploy and is ready to attack the city. You must also cheer up and not look dejected, so that the soldiers will be discouraged." Yan Yan glanced at the generals in the hall and found that most of them were very decadent, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for the iron.

"General, it's not that we destroy our own prestige and increase the momentum of others. It's really too disadvantageous. Now we are just taking advantage of the geographical advantage. In terms of morale, we will be completely defeated. In terms of weapons, Kou Feng has a large number of Chu swords, and we only have 10,000 Wei swords. If we fight, we will suffer a lot. In terms of military strength, we are also at a disadvantage. This city is not easy to defend." A general said below.

If this general hadn't been Yan Yan's confidant, if the generals in the hall had not been this kind of thought, Yan Yan would have dragged him out and chopped him up long ago.

Although he didn't do this, Yan Yan's heart was still very angry.

But then, it was like a deflated ball. He sighed and said, "What you are talking about is the truth. If there is no other than that, I cannot defend Ba County."

"but."

Speaking of this, Yan Yan was excited and said, "However, war has always changed rapidly, and there are so many unexpected events. Although we can't resist, we have foreign players."

The matter of contacting the barbarians is very confidential in Shu. Because the barbarians are the object of hatred by the people in Shu, if the news of Liu Zhang contacting the barbarians is released, Shu will definitely shake.

The only weapon that Liu Zhang had now, the harmony of the people disappeared. Therefore, it was kept confidential. The upper class of the entire Shu Kingdom would not explain anything.

Because there is only one explanation, this is just an accidental invasion of the barbarians, which happened to attack Kou Feng and help Shu Kingdom.

But Yan Yan still decided to spread the news and boost morale so that Bajun would not be self-defeating.
