Zhang was willing to surrender, which made Liu Mang very happy.
"Don't worry De Rong, I will rescue all your family members and reunite them with you in Liangzhou."
Liu Mang looked at Fazheng, who immediately understood that he would arrange for Feiyu to complete this task.
The news of Zhang Ji's surrender did not reach Xuchang so quickly, and Feiyu had time to make arrangements.
"Your Majesty!"
Zhang Ji quickly got into his role and said bluntly: "You have already promised that Wu Wei must be conquered as soon as possible!"
"Now there are two roads from Jincheng to Wuwei!"
"The first one is to take the waterway from Manyin Ferry, but my subordinates are worried that the people from Erheshao Ge will send troops to intercept!"
"The second is to take the narrow Wushao Ridge. If the Qiang people ambush here, our army may..."
After Zhang said this, he informed Liu Mang of the advantages and disadvantages of the two paths. As for how to select them, it depends on Liu Mang's intention.
"Second uncle, during the Battle of Chibi, you learned naval skills from Zhou Yu. Now that you are asked to go to the Manyin Ferry, are you sure that you will be in a stalemate with the Qiang people?"
Liu Mang looked at Guan Yu. In history, his second uncle was a famous general who overwhelmed the Seventh Army and shocked China.
Even if we are not in Xiangfan now, it should be no problem to fight a small Qiang, right?
Guan Yu caressed his beautiful beard, his eyes full of pride, "Even when fighting against the Jiangdong navy, Guan's soldiers never fell at a disadvantage!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him with admiration.
After all, when other people say this, everyone thinks they are stupid, but when Guan Yu says this, everyone will just give a thumbs up and say they are awesome!
Guan Yu never talks big, because he always means what he says.
"Okay! How many troops does Second Uncle need to contain the Manyin Ferry?"
Liu Mang looked at Lu Xun and Fazheng, indicating to them to estimate the number of enemies.
"Wushao Ridge is dark and long, so the enemy probably won't send too many troops."
"So, most of the troops will be concentrated at the Manyin Ferry to intercept our army!"
Lu Xun and Fazheng said each other, then looked at each other and said together: "Probably around 7,000 to 8,000 people!"
Liu Mang nodded, and it was almost as expected.
"Second uncle, I'll give you eight thousand men to contain the enemy troops at Jianyin Ferry."
"Mang'er! Guan is not as old as Huang Hansheng!"
Guan Yu snorted: "You only need five thousand soldiers and horses to make the Qiang people not move a step!"
"Mang'er can directly attack Wuwei then! I'm waiting for the news of your victory!"
Guan Ping, Guan Xing, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua and others all stepped forward in one step.
"I'm waiting, willing to go into battle with the general!"
The strength of Guan Jiajun cannot be underestimated. Liu Mang looked at everyone and gave the order directly.
"Guan Yu listens to the order! I order you to lead five thousand troops to contain the reinforcements at the Manyin Ferry. You must hold on for at least fifteen days without any mistakes!"
There is no joke in the army. Liu Mang gave orders this time, which made Guan Yu very useful.
Manger, finally grown up!
"Guan Yu takes the order!"
"Generals of the Guan family army, go out with me on the expedition!"
Guan Yu gave the order, and all five thousand soldiers were waiting outside the military camp.
They had to cut down trees and build ships first, then headed to the Manyin Ferry.
It is obviously unrealistic to build warships like Zuike. Guan Yu's army mainly relied on rafts and fishing boats.
The fishermen near Jianyin Ferry had never seen an army recruiting fishing boats to pay them.
Many fishermen even took the initiative to fight with the Han army.
Guan Yu thanked everyone and added a lot of boatmen by the way.
…
Jiyin Ferry.
The news that Liu Mang promised to regain the military power of the Liangzhou government within two months made Erhe Shaoge and other Qiang leaders rest on pins and needles.
The death of Cheriji made them understand the seriousness of the matter.
These Han people are not just talking, they are serious!
The guard general Wu Zhubaluo obeyed Erhe's order to burn weapons and led 7,000 cavalry to guard the Manyin Ferry.
No normal person would choose to use this as a breakthrough point for terrain like Wushao Ridge!
If the Han army wants to go to Wuwei, the best place is the Manyin Ferry.
Erhe Shaoge was also a thief. He also used two thousand troops to defend Wushaoling, which was double insurance.
"Cheer up! Wuwei must not fall into the hands of the Han army no matter what!"
Wuwubaluo ordered people to patrol day and night, and finally saw the Han army three days later.
But compared with the imagined Han army, this so-called "naval force" was simply too shabby!
There were at most five people on the raft, and there were even fishing boats.
"Hahahaha! The Han army is nothing more than this!"
"To attack the ferry, we only led a navy of this size!"
"Give them some color and see!"
Wu Zhubaluo gave an order, and the Qiang cavalry bent their bows and set arrows, intending to use their best cavalry and archery to fight against the enemy.
When the Han army's raft was halfway through, the entire army suddenly stopped. Only three people were seen on a raft.
One person, dark and majestic, is in charge of rowing the oars, while the other person holds a shield, his tiger eyes slightly open, always on guard.
In the center is a person with red and phoenix eyes, cicada-shaped brows, a face as heavy as a jujube, and lips as if greased. He is sitting upright, holding a Qinglong Yanyue Sword.
"Fire the arrow!"
The Qiang cavalry didn't care so much, they shot arrows at the raft like locusts.
Guan Ping held a large shield and stood in front of Guan Yu and Zhou Cang. No matter how many arrows came at them, they failed to injure the three of them.
"You barbarians, how dare you be so rude when you see General Guan!"
Zhou Cang cursed loudly and did not retreat. Instead, he rowed the raft closer!
"Father, here is the spear!"
Guan Ping handed all the spears on his back to Guan Yu.
"Zhou Cang, carry the knife!"
"Got the order!"
Guan Yu suddenly opened his eyes. He was really excited today. He was finally able to fight the foreigners!
"It's not polite to come and not return! If you use bows and arrows to entertain guests, Guan will return the favor with spears!"
Whoosh!
Guan Yu swung with all his strength, and the spear in his hand suddenly penetrated a cavalryman on the horse!
"They rowed here to attack!"
"Brothers, retreat quickly!"
"Damn it! There are only three of them, why should we retreat?"
Wu Wubaluo was furious, and his men were so frightened by the power of the Han army that they fled away.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Guan Yu threw out two spears in succession, and the Qiang cavalry fell to the ground.
Zhou Cang paddled, Guan Ping blocked, and Guan Yu killed the enemy!
The three men of Guan Jiajun complemented each other so well that the Qiang people were stunned!
"Everyone, let's fire all the arrows!"
Guan Yu finished throwing away the spear in his hand, faced the panicked Qiang people, and gave the order decisively.
The Han army standing on the raft took out the Zhuge Liannu, pointed it at the Qiang people on the ferry, and pulled the trigger!
Arrows are like locusts, thousands of arrows fly together!
Countless Qiang people were shot and killed, and some even dismounted directly and used their horses as shields to block the arrows!
Wuwu Baluo was furious. The Han army clearly relied on Guan Yu's bravery to boost their morale!
"Come here! Let all the reserves come over. I will fight this man to the death today!"
The Qiang people's reserves came out in full force, but Guan Yu's raft had already fled far away.
"Mang'er is right. Just show off and leave. It's so exciting!"
