Chapter 201 The 28 Generals of Yuntai ([-])

Three months later
Yuyang County

Yongnu County

"Liaodong deceives people too much!"

"Wuhuan has completely cut off trade with us."

"Why don't you persuade Prefect Peng to send troops to Liaodong, and give Liaodong a little shock in Yuyang?"

"I've persuaded you, the Lord Fu is considering this matter."

The powerful merchants in Yuyang County gathered together and were very dissatisfied with the fact that their trade market in Wuhuan was taken away by Liaodong. They used their power to lobby Yuyang prefect Peng Chong to persuade him to launch special military operations against Liaodong. With heavy blows, Liaodong was forced to trade the market for peace.

Liaodong’s goods are cheaper than Yuyang County’s, and the quantity is larger, and there are still a lot of armors for sale. Although Yuyang County also promised to sell armors to Wuhuan, after all, there is no special armor industry chain, temporary production of armors, The production efficiency is very low, far below Wuhuan's demand, and the quality is far inferior to Liaodong.

Under such circumstances, Prince Wuhuan resolutely cut off the smuggling trade in the four counties of Yuyang County, Youbeiping County, Shanggu County, and Liaoxi County.

……

Yuyang County
"The powerful merchants in the four counties all persuaded me to attack Liaodong, Ziyan, what do you think?" Yuyang Taishou looked at his confidant Wu Han and asked him.

During the Xinmang period, Peng Chong's father was already the prefect of Yuyang. After Liu Xuan ascended the throne, he issued an edict to allow Peng Chong's son to inherit his father's position and continue to be the prefect.

At the same time, Liu Xuan appointed Wu Han, a fellow from Nanyang, as the magistrate of Anle County to assist Peng Chong.

Wu Han was a thief when he was a child. Later, because of murder, he had to flee from Nanyang to Yuyang. He made a living by selling private horses and was a well-known local bully.

In order to unify the world sooner, Liu Xuan directly appointed the local snakehead as the magistrate of the prefect. It would be even better if he came from a fellow villager. Under such a background, Wu Han actually became the magistrate of Anle County.

But he is cruel by nature, and he always ransacks the local people's homes to enrich his family property, so his reputation is not very good.

"Selling Wuhuan's cattle and horses to the Central Plains to make a difference is a huge income for our Yuyang County. Now that Liaodong has taken away our Yuyang County's livelihood, we must use thunderous means to scare Liaodong." Wu Han sneered, If there is a war, no matter whether he wins or loses, he can plunder in Liaodong, and he will not lose anything.

"The road to the west of Liao is narrow, and it is inconvenient to transport grain. It may be difficult to make an expedition to Liaodong." Peng Chong was a little suspicious, worried that the supply of grain and grass would not be enough.

"Why not transport grain by sea?" At this time, a powerful man in the county mansion suggested.

This powerful manor is located in Yongnu County, and Yongnu County is on the verge of the Bohai Sea, so the local powerful merchants also have some merchant ships, which can conduct maritime trade.

However, their merchant ships are all river ships, which cannot sail long distances on the sea, so they are just sailing from Yuyang County to Bohai County.

But they think that it is not a big problem to transport grain from Yuyang to the front line of Liaodong by sea.

"Sea route?" Peng Chong thought about the feasibility of this plan.

……

Liaodong County
"Yuyang County issued an ultimatum to us in Liaodong, asking us to give up trade with Wuhuan and withdraw from the Wuhuan market. Otherwise, we will take special military action against us and give us a little shock in Yuyang."

Lu Chen (the head of the Lu family), the prefect of Liaodong, said lightly.

The Lu family has served as the governor of Liaodong for two consecutive terms, but they are not proud of it. Instead, they still work closely with the other three families, especially the Wang family. Even if he is the governor of Liaodong, he has to obey the orders of the Wang family.

"How many county soldiers do we have?" Patriarch Zhang asked after stroking his beard and pondering for a long time.

"Three thousand!" The head of the Li family replied.

"Oh? How many troops are there in Yuyang?" The head of the Zhang family asked again.

"Yuyang, Liaoxi, Youbeiping, and Shanggu, the total strength of the four counties has reached [-], of which about [-] cavalry and about [-] infantry, all without armor, only the generals wear light armor and are equipped far away. Not as good as ours in Liaodong." Wang Bian, the representative of the Wang family, replied, she was the only woman present.

The four major families in Liaodong all benefited from the Wuhuan trade, so the four families are one, advancing and retreating together.

"Three thousand against twenty thousand, it's not easy to fight." The Patriarch of the Zhang family sighed.

"That's not enough." Wang Bian smiled, then pointed to the map on the wall with a jade baton and said, "Everyone, please see that there are only three roads from Yuyang to Liaodong."

"First, go through the territory of the Wuhuan people, and then attack our Gaoxian County in Liaodong. This is the sphere of influence of the Lu family."

"Secondly, take the sea route and attack our Ping Township or Wen County in Liaonan County. This is the sphere of influence of my Wang family and Zhang family."

"Thirdly, take Liaoxi Road and attack our Liaodong Wuli County. This is the sphere of influence of the Li family."

"The people of Wuhuan are in a cooperative relationship with us now, and Wuhuan was once swept by Liting before, so he is very afraid of the Central Plains soldiers and horses, and he would not let the soldiers of the four counties walk freely on their territory."

"As for the sea route, do the four counties have so many ships to transport [-] troops?"

"So, they can only take the land route in western Liaoning."

"The land road in the west of Liaoning is long and narrow, and it is difficult to transport grain. As long as we stick to Wuli County to prevent the soldiers of the four counties from advancing eastward, and then send a surprise soldier to go around the sea and cut off the grain road in the west of Liaoning, the soldiers of the four counties will die of hunger. die."

"The north of Wuli County is a swamp, so it is impossible to march, and the south is the sea, and it is impossible to march."

"So Wuli County is the only way to enter Liaodong. The soldiers of the four counties can't bypass Wuli County, so they can only attack Wuli by force."

"We only need to strengthen the city defense of Wuli County, and then wait for the soldiers of the four counties to run out of food and die."

Although Wang Bian is only a young girl, she is quite talented in military affairs. She can analyze the battle situation well and has already planned the future battle plan.

"Shao Wang's words are justified."

The three patriarchs, Zhang, Li and Lu, all approved of Wang Bian's analysis, and they had long been used to the women of the Wang family showing their faces like men.

And under the subtle influence of the Wang family, the women of the three major families of Zhang, Li, and Lu gradually gained an independent status, and some high-status prostitutes also began to support their faces, not caring about ruining their reputation.

"Then what should we do next?" the head of the Lu family asked.

"I also ask Master Li to lead [-] county soldiers to strengthen the city defense of Wuli County, and not to defend it."

"Master Lu, please lead five hundred counties and counties to guard Gaoxian County, and guard against the surprise attack by the soldiers from the four counties from the swamp. As the saying goes, soldiers are tricky. If they don't play their cards according to the routine, they must ignore the casualties Forcibly crossing the swamp, we can also be a little defensive, and the five hundred county soldiers can support Wuli County at any time to ensure the rear safety of Wuli County."

"At the same time, please also ask Master Zhang to lead [-] county soldiers to transport food and supplies to the front line, and to guard against bandits in Liaodong County colluding with the four counties."

"I, Wang Jian, will personally lead two hundred county soldiers to cut off the Liaoxi grain road."

Wang Bian carried out military deployment in an orderly manner, using the [-] Liaodong County soldiers to the limit, and the four major families also had private soldiers who could serve as emergency reserves.

It's just that until the last moment, the four major families were unwilling to sacrifice their own family's private soldiers.

First suffer for the county soldiers, and no one will bear the infamy.

"Understood! Leave the food and grass to me!"

"Don't worry, I won't leave the city even if I die!"

"With my Lu family here, if the soldiers from the four counties dare to forcibly cross the swamp, my Lu family will make them come and go!"

The heads of the three major families agreed with Wang Bian's battle plan one after another, and then began to act according to this battle plan.
