Lin Han ordered the scouts to march into Sanfu and Xiliang first to scout out the military situation, and he led the main army to follow.
After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Beigong Boyu, Bian Zhang, Han Sui and others rebelled in Liang Province, with an army of over 100,000, invading Zuo Fengyi, You Fufeng and Jingzhao Yi. The Qiang people also rebelled and the Di people looted.
Liangzhou and the Three Auxiliary Areas were in chaos.
Zhang Wen is still in Chang'an now. It will take a month to lead the troops there. By then, we won't know the military situation, which will be troublesome.
"Wenhe, what tactics can be used?"
Lin Han spread out the marching map and handed it to Jia Xu.
This was the preliminary military intelligence he obtained, including the distribution of relevant forces.
"In my opinion, with General Zhang Wen suppressing the enemy from the front, the situation is stagnant and there's no way to break it. Even reaching Chang'an means we have to proceed cautiously, biding our time. Why not first enter Yizhou, then advance to the Qiang and Hu regions and Longxi? Cut off the Qiang and Hu retreat routes, then advance into Liangzhou and cut off the rebels' food and supplies. Then, a surprise attack will arrive, and the Three Auxiliary Regions will be freed from the conflict."
"Going this deep, I'm afraid our army's food and fodder supplies will be a problem."
"My lord, after resupplying Yizhou, we can then advance into the Qiang, Hu, and Di regions. They can plunder our Han territory, and we can retaliate in kind. We can resupply the baggage and take the Qiang, Hu, and Di people's food. Moreover, surprise attacks are the key to victory, and we should strike with speed and resolve the situation quickly rather than engage in a prolonged battle."
Jia Xu made a fierce gesture and spoke with indifference.
Lin Han knew that when Jia Xu was young, he was robbed by the Di people. He escaped from the Di people by cheating them, but the people who traveled with him were not so lucky. They were all robbed and killed by the Di people.
Jia Xu did not have a very good impression of the Qiang, Hu and Di people.
"Okay, follow Wenhe's advice and go to Yizhou first."
Ten thousand demon guards came in a mighty force, wearing black armor and holding sabers, exuding murderous aura.
The Demon Guards of the Demon Guard Camp are all warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles in seas of blood and corpses. After joining the Demon Guard Camp, they practice "Demon Guard" and their aura is condensed into one, making them able to fight ten enemies alone.
Their combat effectiveness is several times that of ordinary soldiers. When they form teams or armies, their combat effectiveness is greatly increased.
He was confident that these 10,000 demon guards, if they did not attack the city, could defeat 100,000 Qiang and Hu soldiers in surprise attacks and encounters.
After more than ten days, the army crossed Jingzhou and arrived at Ba County.
After entering Linjiang, Lin Han ordered the army to rest and replenish food and grass.
This emperor was a bit treacherous. He let him lead his troops and gave him some military pay, but he had to find the way for food and fodder himself.
If he were in Yangzhou, he could act with impunity because Hanjiang City was stocked with food and fodder, but not in Yizhou. He was unfamiliar with the place, so on the way here, he found a local father-in-law to act as a guide.
"Father-in-law, where can I buy food in Linjiang?" Lin Han asked the guide.
"At the docks along the river, there are people selling all kinds of supplies on the waterway, including grain merchants."
"Please lead the way, old man."
Lin Han ordered the army to station, with Jia Xu in charge. He took Dian Wei and a hundred magic guards and followed the guide Lao Zhang to the Linjiang Wharf.
Before they arrived, they saw chaos ahead, with many civilians fleeing in panic.
Lin Han grabbed someone and asked him.
"Brother, what's going on up ahead? Why are you so panicked?"
"Sir, the Jinfan thieves are here again." The man saw Lin Han's attire and the guards who accompanied him, and knew that he was an extraordinary person. He felt much more at ease and answered with a stutter.
Jinfan thief?
Lin Han's eyes lit up.
Unexpectedly, he met the Jinfan thief here.
Gan Ning and Gan Xingba, two of the Twelve Tiger Generals of the Eastern Wu, led a large army to plunder in their youth. As young men, they came to their senses, stopped plundering, and became versed in the classics.
Meeting the Jinfan thief at this time was just delivering food to him.
"Brother, go and take a look."
Lin Han led Dian Wei and the Mowei to the dock.
I saw eight boats with brocade sails surrounding a merchant ship in the middle of the river, and the riverside dock was in chaos.
The demon guards had no boat and could not reach the middle of the river, so they could only watch.
"Brother, wait by the river."
Lin Han stepped on the water and flew into the river.
When he landed in the boat, he was like a god descending to the earth, shocking all the pirates and even the people on the shore.
"Who is Gan Ning?" Lin Han killed two Jinfan thieves casually, grabbed a kidnapped man and asked.
"There, there."
The rescued man pointed at the young man who wore bird feathers on his head, bells on his body, carried a bow and arrow on his back, and held an iron chain in his hand.
The young man was dressed in a brocade robe, with a firm gaze and a bright spirit. Compared with other pirates, he stood out like a crane among chickens.
The two looked at each other across the boat.
Under the emperor's qi-gazing technique, Gan Ning's character attributes were fully revealed.
Character: Gan Ning

Nice properties.
It is extremely rare for the young Gan Ning to have such terrifying attributes. This talent is not low.
It's a pity that the young man went astray and wasted his talent.
"Walk."
When Gan Ning saw Lin Han, he waved his hand and asked his men to raise the sails and leave with the wind. All the pirates on the merchant ship jumped into the water and sneaked away.
Just as Lin Han was about to fly over, Gan Ning drew his bow and shot at him.
After blocking the arrows, I looked again and saw that several boats had already drifted hundreds of meters away with the current.
He is quite slippery. No wonder he became a dreaded Jinfan thief and dominated the area at such a young age.
