This time, the Nanman invasion was launched quite suddenly. The entire southern barbarian forces united to launch a surprise attack, causing Liu Che, who had focused almost entirely on the Yongliang forces, to suffer considerable losses.
In the first battle, Liu Che's forces were poorly prepared and were caught off guard by the southern barbarian forces. General Liu Suan and general Wu Lanjin were both killed in this sneak attack.
After this battle, Liu Che was only surprised by the Nanman's audacity and dared to provoke his Yizhou, but he did not take the opponent too seriously and just sent his confidant Zhao Chongguo to solve the problem.
At that time, Liu Che was busy receiving Yang Jian's envoys, preparing to form an alliance with Yang Jian and send troops to help Yang Jian resist Jin Wang Li Xiang. Obviously, Liu Che didn't want to see Li Xiang's power expand too much.
After all, if Li Xiang really succeeded in taking Yongliang Prefecture, Liu Che would have to be a neighbor to this giant Li Xiang. By then, even with the Shuzhong natural insurance, it still cannot bring much sense of security to Li Xiang.
In Liu Che's mind, compared to Li Xiang, the No. 1 prince in the world who had hundreds of thousands of troops and dominated the three states, the so-called Southern Barbarians were nothing, and the invasion of the Southern Barbarians was not a big trouble.
However, the two sides had just discussed the matter of sending troops, and Liu Che had just agreed with the other party on the conditions for sending troops. After all, he couldn't be a good man and help Yang Jian for free. But at this moment, the news of Zhao Chongguo's defeat came back. information.
Zhao Chongguo was also a veteran on the battlefield, so naturally he would not be so incompetent. However, when the battle between the two sides was in a stalemate, the other party took out the trump card of sending troops this time. The Xiang Army and Tengjia Army, led by Yu Shi and Jiu Feng, suddenly broke out and directly disrupted Zhao Chongguo's position.
When things couldn't be done, Zhao Chongguo took the initiative to withdraw his troops. However, during the retreat, a large piece of flesh and blood was bitten off by the Nanman, causing a lot of losses.
Moreover, in this battle, General Liu Zhiyuan was seriously injured, and many generals such as Pang Le, Xiang Cun, and Huang Quan died at the hands of Yushi, Jiufeng, Heimanlong and others.
Although Liu Che had many generals under his command, most of them were not good at using force. In terms of being a strong general, Liu Che is really inferior to Nanman.
After two consecutive defeats, Liu Che began to face up to this Nanman invasion.
"This is unreasonable. How can I, a great man, let those barbarians be so arrogant!" Liu Che suddenly said, "Xu Shiji, you will immediately mobilize 60,000 troops to fight against the southern barbarians. This time, you must give a good blow to the arrogance of these barbarians!"
This time, Liu Che directly sent his first general and an army of 60,000 troops, which shows Liu Che's firm confidence. You must know that asking Xu Shiji to mobilize 60,000 troops does not mean that he only dispatched 60,000 horses.
Zhao Chongguo also had 80,000 troops on the front line before. Although some were lost, the number of 60,000 was still there, which was equivalent to directly handing over 120,000 troops to Xu Shiji.
Of course, the Southern Barbarians also had a lot of troops. They had only gathered 70,000 warriors before, but the victory of the two battles gave the various Southern Barbarian tribes a lot of confidence. At this time, Mu Wang and Duan Siping took the opportunity to persuade various ministries to increase their troops, until now they had reached one hundred thousand.
This time, Mu Wang and Duan Siping were the main active contributors to the Nanman invasion. These two people were greatly influenced by Han culture. They did not want to stay in the barbaric land of the Southern Barbarians and longed for the colorful world of the Han people.
"Ding, Liu Che's Hanxiong skill is activated.
Han Xiong: Powerful, virtuous, talented and strategic, the exclusive skill of Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Effect 1: When faced with situations such as fighting generals, government affairs, strategies, etc., the corresponding attributes can be temporarily increased by 1 to 4 points.
Effect 2: When the designated general goes on an expedition, his command value will be increased by 2 points.
Effect 3: When fighting against foreign tribes or visiting the battlefield in person, the command value of all generals will be increased by 1 additional point.
Effect 4: When I go to the battlefield in person, the military force of the entire army will be +2, and the effects of negative skill effects will be halved. "
"General, take your orders!" Liu Che ordered, and Xu Shiji immediately replied firmly and forcefully.
It just so happened that Xu Shiji also wanted to weigh in on these Southern barbarians and see what other abilities they had.
"Ding, Liu Che assigned Xu Shiji to lead the army. The skill Hanxiong Effect 2 is activated. When the designated general goes on an expedition, his command value will be increased by 2 points. Xu Shiji's base command value is 101, commander +2, and the current command value rises to 103."
As a famous general in the early Tang Dynasty, he was known as the Duke of Wei Li Jing and one of the Ten Philosophers of the Martial Temple along with Li Jing, Han Xin, Zhuge Liang, Sima Ranju, Sun Wu and others. Xu Shiji's commanding value also reached the divine level, although he was only qualified to enter this level. stage, but it is enough to illustrate his ability.
The amplification effect of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's skills was also quite strong. Even before the third effect was activated, Xu Shiji was still promoted to the same level as Li Jing.
"Daituo, Zhai Jing, Xiao Yan, Wang Sengbian, Zhou Yafu..." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty named more than a dozen names in succession. "You will also join the army and follow General Xu to fight together to deal with the Southern Barbarians as soon as possible."
"The last general takes orders."
This time Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was really ruthless. The top and senior commanders directly sent Xu Shiji, Dai Tuo and Zhou Yafu out. Now, under Liu Che, only Chen Qingzhi and Chen Tang are the only commanders of this level left guarding other important places in Yizhou.
"My lord, I wonder if Yang Jian still needs to send troops?" At this time, Dong Zhongshu came out and asked. After all, this one has mobilized so many troops to deal with the Southern Barbarians, and also has to guard other areas. It is no longer suitable to send out large-scale troops as previously agreed.
"Send someone to inform Yang Jian and explain to him the situation here!" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che gave the order calmly after thinking for a moment.
The only thing to blame is Yang Jian's bad luck. Who could have predicted that at this time, the invasion of the Southern Barbarians happened.
What's more, Liu Che's sense of Yang Jian is also not good, even quite bad. After all, how could Liu Che, a clan member of the Han Dynasty, have a good impression of Yang Jian, who was holding the emperor hostage to control the princes.
This time, if Liu Che had not been too worried about the behemoth Li Xiang, it would have been quite good for Liu Che not to take the initiative to attack Yang Jian, let alone join forces with Yang Jian to fight against the powerful Jin forces.
Of course, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was still very calm, and naturally knew that even if he couldn't help Yang Jian, he definitely couldn't cause trouble for him at this time. Otherwise, this would be equivalent to indirectly helping Li Xiang.
Therefore, the reason why Liu Che passed this sentence to Yang Jian was actually to hint to Yang Jian that he would not take action against Yang Jian at all, let alone the threat of Li Xiang.
Even if he wanted to take action, he was in trouble now, so Yang Jian could use the troops used to defend him against Li Xiang.
