Chapter 391 Miss Guan San
Starting from Chengdu, Ma Di quickly went south from Shuzhong with two thousand Wudang flying troops.
Because there are many mountains and forests in the south, the miasma is more lethal than the barbarians, so Ma Su did not bring his own cavalry and infantry. Ma Su directly chose two thousand Wudang flying troops to use your Nanzhong troops to counter the Nanman.
In less than ten days, Ma Su arrived at Zhuti County with his army.
At this time, the Nanman rebellion was not as powerful as before, and the soldiers and civilians in various counties were desperately resisting the barbarians. Therefore, even though the Nanman turmoil was widespread, not many counties actually fell.
For example, the governor of Zhuti County led troops to defend the county. Thousands of barbarians besieged the county town but could not attack it for a long time.
When Ma Su led his troops to Zhuti County, the barbarians surrounding the place figured out the direction of the Han army's march.
The Qingqiang part of this group of barbarians has always been arrogant and unruly and disobeyed the imperial court. When they knew that the Han army was sending troops to encircle and suppress them, they not only refused to run away, but were excited and wanted to fight back.
"Back then, Zhuge Liang, the thief of Shu, led a large army to bully us, causing countless of our tribesmen to die in battle! Today they finally found a chance to take revenge. Why don't you fight to the death!"
The leader of the Qingqiang tribe was very excited and quickly mobilized the tribesmen below to prepare for a counterattack against Ma Su. There were more than 6,000 people in total, three times the number of the Han army. With such a huge advantage, they naturally wanted revenge.
This means that you are not positioning yourself accurately. You can't even defeat the army of Zhuti County soldiers, but you still want to attack the Central Army?
Then the thousands of barbarians quickly gathered and rushed towards Ma Su to greet him in a noisy manner. Even because they were worried that the Han army would run away with few soldiers, this group of Qingqiang barbarians marched quickly to meet them without even setting up a formation (or maybe they didn't know how to do it).
As a result, this group of Qingqiang barbarians saw what it means to be the best general of the Shu Han Dynasty.
Less than a quarter of an hour after the two armies met, the Qingqiang tribe was quickly defeated. The barbarians who were charging forward were knocked down like chopping melons and vegetables. Ma Di took the lead and stabbed the barbarians who came to the door.
When the barbarian soldiers behind saw that the situation was not good, they immediately turned around and fled, and the team of several thousand people was quickly defeated.
Ma Su discovered the opponent's leader while charging into the formation, and chased after him at full speed. Finally, he caught up with the enemy before he got into the woods, captured the thief's head and returned it alive.
There is no way, the opponent has only a few people and combat power, even Soochow can't compare. The reason why they were able to bully the southern defenders was because all the main forces of the Shu Han Dynasty were transferred to the north, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled who could not suppress them.
What really troubled the Shu army was the miasma on the roads and in Nanzhong, which was nothing to worry about in front of Wudang Feijun.
With almost no debuff reduction, there is no chance for these barbarian soldiers to struggle. The only thing to watch is how many people they can get away with in Ma Su's hands.
In the end, the six thousand barbarians could not hold out for half an hour in Ma Su's hands, and more than three thousand of them were captured by Wudang Feijun.
If it weren't for the small number of soldiers, Ma Di would probably be able to capture more prisoners.
After the crisis in Zhuti County was relieved, the local county guard hurriedly led the soldiers and civilians to greet him and thanked Ma Su for coming to support him.
Ma Su didn't feel anything about this. He just grabbed the county guard and quickly asked about the specific situation in Nanzhong.
"Exactly how many barbarians are causing trouble in Nanzhong now? How many counties in Nanzhong are affected? Where is the main force of the enemy?" Ma Su asked a series of questions like a barrage of questions, and County Sheriff Zhu Ti had to slowly explain to Ma Su.
"Prince Taifu, there are barbarian troops in all the counties in the south of the country, and they can no longer suppress them. Several remote counties have basically fallen, and the main force of tens of thousands of barbarians has begun to besiege Jianning County."
In recent years, Nanzhong has been guarding Jianning County. Usually, after barbarians appeared in surrounding counties that could not be suppressed, the powerful families in Jianning County sent troops to suppress them.
However, because Li Hui was transferred to Nanyang County and took away some of the Li family's private soldiers before leaving, the defense force was empty. The son of the barbarian king Gaoding, who had rebelled exactly ten years ago, raised his troops and called on the disobedient barbarians in the south to resist. The force was huge.
It is worth mentioning that the timing of raising troops this time is worth pondering. Because this person had fled to Jiaozhou before, but suddenly returned to Nanzhong two months ago. He lured the barbarians with huge sums of money and quickly gained tens of thousands of soldiers.
Li Yi led his troops to suppress the attack, but due to the small number of troops and the narrow roads, he was ambushed and killed by Gao Gao.
"tnnd, the civil strife in Soochow is like that, Sun Shiwan still doesn't forget to disgust us!" Ma Di was speechless for a while, and couldn't help but cursed secretly.
"Prince and Tutor, please rush to help Jianning County as soon as possible. If it's too late, Jianning County may not be safe!" After explaining all this, the governor of Zhuti County asked Ma Su.
"Don't worry, I was ordered to come to suppress the Southern Barbarians, and I will definitely not back down."
Ma Su nodded slightly, then called for Wudang Feijun to hand over the prisoners to Zhu Ti's defenders, and then prepared to continue their journey. Before setting off, Ma Su asked casually,
"Who is guarding Jianning County now?"
"This is the Crown Prince and Tutor, it's Miss Guan San and all the Jianning people."
"Miss Guan San?" Ma Su was startled for a moment and then remembered,
"Guan Xing's sister, Guan Yinping?"

Jianning County,
At this time, countless barbarians were using simple flying ladders and wooden ladders to attack the city, attacking Wei County, the administrative center, from four directions.
However, the city wall of Wei County is not low, and the defenders are not vegetarians. The barbarian soldiers' continuous attacks on the city were blocked by the defenders and basically did nothing.
But what is interesting is that most of the Han troops defending the city were not Han. A large proportion of them were also barbarians, but they were working hard for the Han Dynasty.
"Third Miss, when will the reinforcements from the imperial court arrive? It's really unbearable to watch these barbarians blocking the door and provoking them all day long!" The guard general of Jiaoxian County, who had repelled the barbarians again, wiped the blood on his head. , asked a woman behind who was directing the battle.
And this is the third daughter of Master Guan, the famous "Miss Guan Third" Guan Yinping.
"The request for reinforcements has been sent for a long time. The reinforcements should arrive in a few days. Please wait patiently. We can fight back when the imperial reinforcements arrive." Guan Yinping gently lowered the flag and calmly comforted the defenders. Soldiers.
After Guan Yinping spoke, no matter whether it was Han soldiers or barbarian soldiers, they all stopped complaining. What this third lady did in Jianning County was obvious to all, and both the Han people and the local barbarian chiefs were convinced by her.
Without Guan Yinping's call, many barbarian tribes in Jianning County might not be willing to serve the imperial court.
After Li Yi died in battle, it was only with Guan Yinping's every possible arrangement that Jianning County was able to survive the siege of the massive rebels.
Just when Guan Yinping was comforting the generals, he suddenly saw a sudden chaos among the rebels outside who were preparing to attack the city again.
