The three rivers of Bodao meet and you only need to go straight down the Lu River to reach Zhuti in a few days. This also occupies a great advantage on the road compared to attacking the other two counties.
The barbarians did not have a navy, so Liu Zhang did not have to worry about being cut off from the supply of food and grass on the waterway.
Five days later, Liu Zhang led an army of 30,000 to Zhuti and set up camp in a dangerous place, making a posture of protracted war.
Yongzheng relied on his strong troops and horses, and did not take Liu Zhang into consideration at all. He led his army to challenge in front of the camp that day.
The Yong family had lived in Nanzhong for hundreds of years. Liu Zhang originally thought that they had been infected by the wild nature of the barbarians, but he never thought that Yongzheng was still pretending to be a scribe.
If it hadn't been for the fight outside Zhuti City, we would never have imagined that this would be a figure from the leadership of the Han and barbarians in Nanzhong.
"Yongzheng, you are also the founding hero of the Han Dynasty. Why did you betray the imperial court for no reason?"
Whenever there is an internal struggle within the Han Dynasty, it is very important to maintain justice.
Yong Zheng was a Han Chinese, and even more so after the hero Yong Chi. If we could suppress his momentum with great righteousness, it would be a hundred benefits without any harm.
"Liu Zhang, it was you who invaded Nanzhong first, and I and the barbarian kings raised our troops behind! If we hadn't been so aggressive and forced us to a dead end, how could we have ended up in this situation?"
Just like his appearance, Yongzheng was well-organized and clear-thinking, which made Liu Zhang's plan fail.
"Yongzheng, this general is the Yizhou Mufu personally appointed by His Majesty. The six counties in Nanzhong are all under the jurisdiction of the Yizhou Prefecture Mufu. How can we talk about forcing each other?"
Liu Zhang would definitely not give up easily and would continue to fight for justice.
"Hahaha!"
Unexpectedly, Yong Zheng suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed several times, looking at Liu Zhang with great disdain.
"It was 400 years since the founding of the Han Dynasty. When did several counties in Nanzhong come under the jurisdiction of the Yizhou Prefectural Mufu? It has always been state and county autonomy! This tradition has lasted for 400 years. There has never been turmoil in Nanzhong. Why do you Once here, can’t it be business as usual?”
"When you conquered Zhang Lu, Jia Long and others, they asked me for help. Did I make it difficult for you in the slightest? Now all the counties of Ba and Shu are under your command, and you are not satisfied yet. You want to attack us in Nanzhong Idea! Don’t you think it’s too greedy?”
Liu Zhang couldn't help but laugh. He really underestimated Yongzheng. When I think about Yong Kai's vision in the future and compare it with Yong Zheng in front of me, I can't help but feel that each generation of the Yong family is not as good as the previous one.
"Yongzheng, you are really sharp-tongued, and I have to take a high look at you! However, the six counties of Nanzhong are not independent places. As long as they are under the jurisdiction of Yizhou, everything will be under my rule. No matter what happens in four hundred years, from today on Come on, this rule is going to change!"
Yong Zheng couldn't help but sneer again and again, looking at Liu Zhang as if he were looking at a fool.
"Want to change the rules? You can! You have to have the strength!"
"Strength? I went out to fight against the Yellow Turbans when I was fifteen years old, and it has been eleven years! This big man goes from south to north, from east to west. What enemies have I not seen before? Who is my opponent!"
Yong Zheng said nothing more. He knew Liu Zhang's resume clearly and knew that he was not talking nonsense in front of the battle.
"Brother Meng, Brother Zhu, although Liu Zhang is a bit arrogant, he is not incompetent. If you want to defeat him head-on, you two will need to take action."
Yong Zheng did not dare to be careless and looked directly at the two barbarian kings beside him.
He knew the characteristics of barbarian soldiers best. It was no problem to win the battle. Each one was braver than the last, but if they were defeated, they would immediately scatter in all directions.
After all, they are very familiar with things like climbing mountains and drilling in forests, and there is no military discipline at all!
Zhu Qiao and Meng Kun looked at each other, and then nodded at the same time.
"Brother Yong, don't worry, leave everything to us!"
Zhu Qiao clamped his legs on the horse's belly and rode out directly, holding two swords and standing in front of the formation.
"Liu Zhang, listen, I am the Barbarian King Zhu Rong's clan Zhu Qiao! We barbarians don't talk nonsense like you. If you are capable, come forward and fight me. If you win, I will naturally be convinced!"
Liu Zhang's eyes lit up. This must be Zhu Rong's father, right? It's a pity that she's not a woman, otherwise she would have some shadow of Zhu Rong.
"Zhu Qiao, if I defeat you, are you willing to surrender to me?"
If it really could be resolved in a one-on-one battle, that would be great.
It's a pity that Zhu Qiao didn't answer directly at all, but his eyes were full of ridicule.
"I have more than a million Southern Barbarian warriors. How many of them can you defeat?"
Liu Zhang's face darkened. Zhu Qiao was obviously playing tricks on him!
"Wait until I catch you and see if your mouth is still so tough!"
"Ziyi, take him down!"
Liu Zhang directly sent his general Tai Shici to capture Zhuqiao directly, which would not only destroy the enemy's morale, but also encourage his own soldiers.
Yong Zheng on the opposite side narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Tai Shi Ci holding a spear, his eyes became cautious.
"Brother Meng, Liu Zhang is not very capable, but the generals under his command have to be careful. This Taishi Ci is the leader of Wu Feng Camp. He has superb marksmanship and must not be underestimated! If Zhu Qiao is defeated, Brother Meng can respond in time. !”
Yongzheng did not dare to be careless at all. Meng Kun and Zhu Qiao were the leaders of the barbarians under his command. If they were captured or killed, the impact on the South-Chinese Allied Forces would undoubtedly be huge.
"Haha, Brother Yong, are you kidding me?"
Meng Kun's playful tone puzzled Yong Zheng. Following his eyes, he immediately understood what he meant.
Zhu Qiao had no disadvantage and even suppressed Tai Shici to death!
Even Yongzheng, who was not a martial artist, could see that Zhu Qiao had the advantage. Seeing that Taishi Ci was in a hurry, he was about to lose!
"Hahaha, even with your level of martial arts, you dare to fight against our barbarians. Just save your life!"
Zhu Qiao was already determined to win, and he accelerated the swing of his swords again. Finally, taking advantage of the opponent's panic, he knocked off the spear in Tai Shici's hand with one blow.
"not good!"
Taishi Ci was shocked and turned pale. He quickly turned his body to dodge the two fatal knives, and then immediately urged his horse to escape into the formation.
"Where to escape! Stay alive!"
Zhu Qiao was not willing to let Tai Shici go. He followed him without even thinking, as if he would never give up.
Taishi Ci fled in defeat, Meng Kun immediately discovered the opportunity, and then swung his mace forward.
"The Han army is all cowards. Barbarian warriors, let me crush them!"
The barbarian soldiers followed Meng Kun's steps and swarmed forward, madly running forward.
At the same time, Liu Zhang's army had begun to retreat due to the defeat of the general.
"Lord, shall we pursue him?"
Yongzheng's subordinates came to his side. The barbarians had already sent out their entire army, but the Han army under Yongzheng's command had not yet sent out.
"Let these barbarians chase them, we can just follow them slowly."
Liu Zhang's army fled and Taishi Ci was defeated. This was different from Yongzheng's imagination.
Taishi Ci was not the first person under Liu Zhang, but also a top person. Would he lose to Zhu Qiao so easily?
Yongzheng had read poetry and books, so he naturally knew how to cheat. At this time, he felt that Liu Zhang was cheating!
Let the barbarians go to Liu Zhang's encirclement first. After all the ambush troops are out, you can lead your troops to attack him, and then eliminate Liu Zhang in one fell swoop!
