Now it's March 192, and it's snowing that makes Wuhuan prepare to go south.
They had already sent forward to come here, and drove a group of cattle and sheep to the front line, ready to do military supplies.
It can be said that war may break out at any time.
Zhang Yu adjusted the troops of Jiangdong and was planning to lead the troops to the north for support.
After arrangement, Zhang Yu takes Gao Shun, Dian Wei and 40000 troops to go north.
Forty thousand troops and horses, according to the current transport capacity of large ships, also need to go back and forth several times.
Zhang Yu let Gao Shun go first.
Ling Cao was assigned to guard Danyang county and train the garrison at the same time.
Although the city garrison is a second-line army, it has to be trained at all. When the main force needs it, they should be able to fight in the main force immediately, so the requirements are quite high.
After that, Zhang Yu arranged for other things to leave Kuaiji and go to Liaodong. Besides Gao Shun and Dian Wei, Zhang Ning went with Zhang Yu.
It was April when all Zhang Yu's troops arrived in Liaodong.
Several generals are preparing to fight against the enemy in Shenyang City. Zhang Yu asks Gao Shun to stay in Liaodong and destroy Koguryo.
Koguryo came, but their army was not very good, they were not cavalry, they were poorly equipped, and they were not well trained.
If it wasn't for Koguryo, they were hiding in the dense forest. Maybe Zhang Yu would have leveled them first.
After that, Zhang Yu took his cavalry to Shenyang.
In Shenyang City, the atmosphere is very tense, because the news just came that the Wuhuan army has begun to gather, and will go south in a few days.
There are 100000 vanguards. In general, I don't know how many troops there are.
But when Zhang Yu arrived in Shenyang, he didn't worry about their preparations at all.
This is a big city that can hold millions of people.
More than 300000 people around Shenyang City have all moved into the city. The outside is empty. The enemy has no place to supply and even capture prisoners.
And there are a lot of troops in the city.
Several generals in the city are here.
Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and Huang Zhong are all here. They each lead 20000 cavalry troops. In addition, there are 50000 garrison troops in the city. In this way, there are 110000 troops. With the 20000 troops and horses supported by Zhang Yu, there are 130000 troops and horses in the city.
One hundred and thirty thousand troops are a huge army.
The most important thing is Zhang Yu, they also have Shenyang City.
Shenyang City has a huge reserve of materials, and it's no problem to persist for a year. In addition, the city walls are tall and thick, and the Wuhuan people who don't have much experience in attacking the city probably don't know how to fight.
"See you, my Lord." After Zhang Yu arrived, he raised his account in the Lord's mansion.
Gu Yong and other officials were on one side, while Dian Wei and his generals were on the other side.
After meeting each other, Zhang Yu said: "conservatively, there are more than 650000 people in Wuhuan. They are all soldiers. If we remove the old people, women and children, there are at least 300000 or more people who can go south to plunder."
Zhang Yu first introduced the situation of the enemy, but everyone was not surprised. It seemed that the enemy was not 300000, but 300000.
Morale is available, several generals are all in the blood, this test is nothing.
There is no need for Zhang Yuduo to talk about the mobilization before the war. All the generals have high morale and will naturally transmit it to the soldiers.
Zhang Yu didn't say much and asked them to prepare separately.
Two days later, the news came that Wuhuan had 100000 vanguards and 150000 troops from the rear. At the same time, Wuhuan was gathering.
They may have more than 300000 troops.
Over the past few months, Zhang Yu has to exchange the basic population twice a month. In this way, Wuhuan will increase its population by tens of thousands.
The total number of troops may exceed 300000. It is impossible for Zhang Yu without pressure, but they are not afraid.
Liaodong has arranged tens of thousands of garrison troops, but xuantu county has been fortified, leaving only one Shenyang City.
The Wuhuan army officially went south. They endured a winter. If Zhang Yu had not kept trading with them and accumulated some grain, they would not have known how many people they would have starved to death.
However, they have been unable to make ends meet, and they can not afford to buy Liaodong's goods.
After all, they need too much food, salt and tea.
If they don't have money, they rob. That's their logic.
Under the leadership of Qiu Liju, the king of Wuhuan, 250000 troops converged and slowly went south.
"All the cunning Han people have gone." After entering xuantu County, they found that they could not get a grain of grain, let alone money and population.
Wuhuan people continued to go south and finally found Shenyang City.
"Damn, the Han people built such a city." Seeing Shenyang City, the people of Wuhuan were dumbfounded.
The high wall made them not know how sad they were.
100000 strikers surrounded Shenyang City, they also made a tentative attack, but there were two trenches outside the city to block them.
It's not just a trench. On the side of the trench near the city wall, there are many bunkers where soldiers can shoot arrows, kill them and hinder them from filling the trench.
This city is newly built. Zhang Yu personally participated in the design. It is not only thick, but also has many ideas of later generations.
If the Wuhuan people can successfully fill the trench, then there will be other unexpected things waiting for them.
After the people of Wuhuan tried to attack and failed, they scolded outside the city, but they had no choice but to wait for the army to arrive.
Zhang Yu stood at the head of the city, looking down, the dense enemy in the distance seemed small.
Zhang Yu brought several generals up to observe the situation of the enemy, and the other generals were also carefully observing the situation of the enemy.
The wall of Shenyang City is very high and thick, nearly 20 meters high and more than 10 meters thick, comparable to Luoyang.
Zhang Yu has seen Chang'an city of later generations. At that time, Chang'an still had a city wall, which was more than ten meters high and could be paralleled by four cars in width.
Zhang Yu also built such a city.
"Lord, these barbarians, it's just a dream that they want to fight Shenyang like this." Dianwei said with disdain.
Zhao Yun then said: "Lord, according to our internal report, the enemy came to plunder because of lack of food. According to our calculation, if they were blocked for a month, they would not be able to support themselves. At that time, they might go to harm other places."
The people of Wuhuan were short of food. When they went south, they brought a lot of cattle and sheep, but their army of more than 200000 troops consumed a lot.
Zhang Yu also thought about many possibilities. If they stopped them in Shenyang, some of the Wuhuan people would go to rob other places, otherwise they would not be able to support so many troops.
Zhang Yu began to worry about Gongsun Zan. At this time, he didn't have much advantage in fighting Yuan Shao. At this time, if the rear was attacked, he might collapse.
Once Gongsun Zan collapses, Zhang Yu's situation will be more complicated.
"I hope Gongsun Zan can block it, and if Liu Yu stands on the sidelines, he will find a way to force him to take part in the war."
Facing the Wuhuan army, Zhang Yu thought more about the situation in Youzhou.
