Chapter 625: The Promise

"Report!"

Yuan Chang and Guo Jia sat in the big tent to discuss the next action, and a scout outside the tent flew over, turned over and dismounted before Yuan Chang's own soldiers stopped him, knelt down on one knee and shouted. A set of actions flowed smoothly, and this guy also winked proudly at the two pro-soldiers, but in response to him were two expressionless faces.

"Come in!"

The scout straightened his chest, entered the tent, and after saluting the five Yuan Chang people in the tent, he said, "Lord Qi, the Six-Nation Alliance has now attacked Hengren City. Goguryeo has gathered 50,000 troops to garrison the city, and the allied forces of the six countries have all stopped moving forward due to their respective prevarications, and please make it public!"

"Humph!"

Yuan Chang snorted coldly and sneered: "The population of Goguryeo is less than one million, and if you calculate it according to the ratio of ten to one, Goguryeo will have no more than 100,000 soldiers. There were 50,000 soldiers and horses that invaded Youzhou before, but now Goguryeo has no more than 50,000 soldiers and horses, at least 40,000 soldiers and horses are stationed in Marudu, and at most 10,000 regular soldiers and horses in Hengren City, and the rest are all strong men who are in a hurry. The Six-Nation Alliance has 60,000 soldiers and horses, and it is ridiculous that just these 10,000 soldiers will make them stop. ”

"My lord, this situation is not all expected. ”

Guo Jia chuckled, the expression on his face was very indifferent. The Six-Nation Alliance was originally here to take advantage, if it weren't for the fact that the main generals of the Six Nations were all in the hands of Yuan Chang, and they could also get benefits in Goguryeo, maybe they would have run out as soon as Yuan Chang let them leave Youzhou, let alone give Yuan Chang his life to attack Goguryeo.

"What Feng Xiao said is very true!" Yuan Chang smiled slightly, "However, you can't cheapen those guys, since you want to make a profit, you have to pay something." ”

Looking at the treacherous expression on Yuan Chang's face, Guo Jia shook his head helplessly, Dian Wei, Tai Shici and Yu Ban also had the same expression, who let them stand up to such a lord. However, they are also glad to have such a lord, at least they don't have to watch out for this and that.

"In that case..."

Guo Jia pondered for a moment and chuckled: "Why don't you praise the lord, which country's soldiers and horses can take the lead in attacking the city guard mansion this time, you can let them leave on their own, so that without the lord's persecution, Yehena Ratonna and a few of them will consciously order their subordinates to attack Hengren City." As long as Hengren City is captured, it will be a smooth road, and it will be close to the pill capital. ”

"Haha, Feng Xiao's words are very much in line with me!"

Yuan Chang laughed loudly, and he would not object. Goguryeo is just a small land, accounting for a part of the land of Liaoning and Jilin, adding up to one-third of the area of Youzhou, with only a million people, only five or six cities, and the rest are villages and towns. The walls of Goguryeo Fortress are no more than a few zhang high, and compared with the cities with several zhang high walls in the Central Plains, it is simply a small thing. Therefore, in the siege of the Central Plains, the proportion of troops is quite high, and the strength of the siege of the city wall is also one to ten, and the steep city wall is even more inadequate with human lives. This is not the case in Goguryeo, where the ratio of one to two can be regarded as Goguryeo, and if a cavalry is elite enough, it can directly rush into the city. The Six Nations Alliance is now only 12,000 cavalry forced by Yuan Chang, and it is not too easy to deal with the guards of Hengren City, who only have 10,000 regular troops and 40,000 miscellaneous soldiers.

"Zhang Dali, you go and inform Yehena Ratonna and the others to come to see me!" Yuan Chang commanded, and then added faintly: "Also, next time you play those fancy moves, I will let Zilong practice you well." ”

"Whoa!"

Scout Zhang Dali agreed, and ran away in a hurry, for fear that if he was a step too late, he would be stuffed to Zhao Yun by Yuan Chang. Zhang Dali was also Yuan Chang's personal guard, and later Yuan saw that he was more than clever and alert, so he turned him into a scout. As for letting Zhao Yun practice, this is not a joke. Zhao Yun's strong force is not born, but from hard training, but all the soldiers who train under Zhao Yun are very strict, because Zhao Yun is like this to himself, although the soldiers under him are hard, they have nothing to say. Of course, correspondingly, as long as the soldiers who follow Zhao Yun come out, their strength will also improve rapidly. Therefore, some officers and soldiers in the army like to follow Zhao Yun, and some don't like it, after all, Zhao Yun is not RMB, everyone likes it. And Zhang Dali naturally belongs to the latter.

Not long after, the six Yehena Ratonna received a notice to come to Yuan Chang's account. And after getting Yuan Chang's promise, the eyes of the six people were all shining. If it weren't for the fact that their lives were in the hands of Yuan Chang, they would have run away a long time ago, and now they have a bright opportunity, who doesn't want it? After capturing Hengren City, in addition to the capital of Goguryeo, Marudu, there is only one Zhen'an City left, how much benefits can they get? Moreover, the city wall of Marudu is much thicker than other cities, and if they attack the city, they will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and when the time comes, they will return home with some benefits, and I am afraid that they will not be able to offset their sins. Therefore, after some calculations in their hearts, they secretly made up their minds that they would immediately pass the order after they returned, and they must be the first to attack Hengren City.

"Also, Honshu Mu doesn't want something like this to happen in Hengren City again. Otherwise, when the time comes, the Honshu Pastor will not mind letting the generals know the means of the Honshu Pastor. ”

Before the six of them left, Yuan Chang added faintly.

The figures of the six Yeh Naratunna stagnated for a while, and they understood the meaning of Yuan Chang's words. Regardless of whether the incident in Hengren City this time was intentional on their mind, however, they must not do it again, otherwise, I am afraid that their lives will be in danger. At the same time, whether it can get out of the whirlpool this time is only Hengren City's chance, and Zhen'an City is absolutely impossible to come again. As soon as they thought of this, the six of them walked faster, wishing that their soldiers and horses were already stationed in the Hengren City Guard Mansion at this moment.

"Hmph, a group of rats, remember to eat or not!"

Yuan Chang snorted disdainfully, then looked at Guo Jia and the others, and said, "Fengxiao, Ziyi, and Wen Ze, after capturing Hengren City, you can divide the army into two places." Wen Ze and I marched directly at Marudu, with Marudu as the center, and swept all the way to the north; while Bonghyo and Ziyi started from Hengren City and drove down south, striving to pacify the entire territory of Goguryeo as soon as possible. Subsequently, he ordered the city of Beijing to arrange for Yuan Zhi to move officials to Goguryeo to take over, and at the same time to signal the people in Youzhou to come. Remember, the people who move in must be voluntary, not forced. Although many people will be reluctant to stay away from their homeland, but today's Central Plains is a land of four wars, as long as the policy is more favorable, I believe that there are still many people who like peace are willing to settle here. Once these people take root in this land, from now on, this land of Goguryeo will be the land of our Central Plains, and there will be no more foreigners stepping on this land. ”

Dian Wei, as the leader of Yuan Chang's own soldiers, naturally followed Yuan Chang wherever he went. Even if Dian Wei's force is not as strong as Yuan Chang, but the pro-soldiers are still needed, this is a kind of honor guard as a superior, simply put, it is to support the scene.

"Subordinates, the last general will obey the orders of the lord!"

Regarding Yuan Chang's arrangement, Guo Jia and the others naturally would not object. In addition to Dian Wei, Guo Jia and the three of them were all knowledgeable, knowing that the war in Goguryeo was just a passing cloud, and Yuan Chang's real enemy was still in the Central Plains. If you can't even pass Goguryeo, then don't think about competing for hegemony in the Central Plains, it's better to take your wife and children to retreat to the mountains and forests as soon as possible.

Waiting for Guo Jia and the others to leave to prepare for their respective tasks, Yuan Chang looked at the southwest, and the depths of his eyes were as calm as a lake, as for what he was thinking in his heart, no one knew.

"The Walk of Obedience..."

……

Because of Yuan Chang's promise, Hengren City did not have the slightest power to resist under the outbreak of the soldiers of the Six Nations Alliance, with those 10,000 soldiers and 40,000 temporarily conscripted miscellaneous troops. When Yuan Chang and the others were still half a distance away from Hengren City, a scout came to report that Hengren City had been captured. As for the property in the city, it was naturally plundered by the soldiers of the Six Kingdoms, leaving only grain and grass for Yuan Chang. However, this was expected, so Yuan Chang didn't say anything.

"Now that Hengren City has been taken, the order will be passed down, and the whole army will accelerate its advance, rest in Hengren City for a day and then set off. ”

With Yuan Chang's order, the army accelerated its speed, but in half a day, it reached the outside of Hengren City. The city wall was already full of Youzhou soldiers who came first, and the entire Hengren City was already under the control of Yuan Chang.

Hengren City guards the palace

"Haha, thanks to your efforts, the Honshu Pastor can sit here with you to celebrate, and tonight you will not get drunk or return. ”

Yuan Chang drank a bowl of wine directly in his hand and turned the bowl upside down, showing his sincerity. Maybe it was because he saw Yuan Chang's sincerity, or maybe he believed that Yuan Chang would not do anything in the wine, and Yehena Ratonna and the others also killed it in one gulp.

"Yuan Zhoumu has a reputation, it should be under the protection of Yuan Zhoumu, and we can easily capture Hengren City in one fell swoop. If we talk about merit, how can we compare with Yuan Zhoumu. Walton looked at Yuan Chang with a flattering expression, making the other five people angry. However, Walton will do this, also because this time he captured Hengren City, Wofu's soldiers were the first to enter the city, and they were also the first to capture the city guard, which means that Walton and his Wofu soldiers and horses can leave at any time. Of course, the premise is that Yuan Chang keeps his promise. That's why Walton brushed his presence in front of Yuan Chang like this.

In fact, when this promise was made, Yuan Chang and Guo Jia discussed it, and finally everyone agreed that the first to complete the task was Wo Fu.

Why?

Quite simply, Wofu is still strictly a slavery system. Except for Walton and his Lao Tzu, the rest of the people were slaves. Therefore, the same order, the soldiers of Wofu will inevitably carry out more severely. And the reason why Yuan Chang made this promise at the beginning was actually with the intention of letting Walton go.

Compared with the other five countries, Walton is the master, and the soldiers under his command are slaves, and once Walton has any problems, these slaves will lose their lives, while Jin Tainon and the others are just generals or princes, even if they die, at most they are only buried with their own soldiers, but ordinary soldiers have no problems. Therefore, when attacking Hengren City, the soldiers of Wofu will be so fierce, and in the same way, because of their bravery, the soldiers will also die the most. Of the 10,000 soldiers, only 6,000 survived. In the case that the city walls are not strong enough, and the troops and combat effectiveness are crushed, the loss of thousands of troops is already extremely powerful. However, Walton had no heartache for the soldiers who died in battle, and in Wofu, only he and his Lao Tzu were kings, and the others were slaves, just like goods, what was the heartache? Anyway, in this attack on Goguryeo, they made a lot of money, especially the first to attack the city and defend the palace, and even grabbed a lot of property, Walton would not have any other feelings except for joy.

"I hope that in the next battle, we will still be invincible..."

After a pause, under Walton's expectant and frightened eyes, he finally said the words that sounded like the gospel of God to him: "In this battle of Hengren City, the soldiers under Prince Walton's command fought bravely, took the lead in attacking the city and were the first to occupy the city guard, so the Honshu Pastor will naturally keep his promise to let Prince Walton and his soldiers leave, as long as Prince Walton is willing, he can now lead his troops to leave." ”

For Walton to be able to leave, in addition to secretly scolding this guy's shit luck, they can only resent the incompetence of their subordinates in their hearts, so that they have to be controlled by others. Of course, they would not dare to scold in front of the soldiers under their command, which would not do the slightest benefit except to make the soldiers mutiny. After all, if they hadn't been controlled by Yuan Chang, these soldiers would have been able to go home and reunite with their families a long time ago.

Yuan Zhoumu said and laughed, being able to walk with Yuan Zhoumu is a blessing that Xiao Wang has cultivated for several lifetimes, and Xiao Wang will not leave in a hurry. If it weren't for me, there would be many matters, and Xiao Wang would be eager to talk with Yuan Zhoumu about wine. Walton's flattering expression made Yehena Ratonna and the others wish that something had happened to this guy.

Yuan Chang glanced at Walton and said quietly: "Since Prince Walton is so sincere, he will naturally have the opportunity to be a guest in my Youzhou in the future, and the Governor of Benzhou will naturally wait for him." ”

"Uh..."

Walton's figure froze, and he said: "Yuan Zhoumu has a good intention, and Xiao Wang has a heart, and he will definitely go to Youzhou as a guest one day." ”

After speaking, Walton sat down with a wine glass, not daring to speak anymore, if Yuan Chang said a few more words, I am afraid that he will not be able to leave. As for going to Youzhou as a guest, Walton swore that he would never step into Youzhou again in his life, as long as Yuan Chang was still in Youzhou, well, he used his Lao Tzu's reputation to guarantee.

"Okay, everyone, after today's celebration, take a day off, and after taking Goguryeo, the Honju Mu will celebrate with you again, and I'm done!"

"It's done!"

"Congratulations!"

A celebratory feast ended after the wine was hot, and everyone left with a look of satisfaction, as for what they were thinking in their hearts, no one knows, but Yuan Chang can be sure of one thing, that is, they will definitely not praise him in their hearts. However, it doesn't matter, after taking Goguryeo, everyone will not have any intersection.
