"So, this Gongsun Zhao's family is also a member of this compound surname alliance? Will the other families send someone to help him? Zhang Hao frowned and said.

"Probably not, although it is an alliance, but each family is selfish, and after the matter is completed, it will definitely face the distribution of benefits, and then it will be divided according to the power in the hands of each family."

"Now that each family is supposed to be developing their own power, who will be distracted to help them." Gongsun Du explained.

"No wonder Gongsun Zhao is so persistent in dealing with us." Zhang Hao smiled bitterly.

In this way, the complex surname alliance in history was successful, after all, in the end, the world was won by the Sima clan, and Zhang Hao suddenly realized.

It should be Gongsun Du who inherited Gongsun Chen's share, and Gongsun Zhan plotted against Youzhou together, and the Sima family and the Xiahou family assisted Cao Cao, and finally seized power.

As for the Zhuge clan, they assisted Wei Shu and Wu respectively, and finally Zhuge Ke was in power in Eastern Wu, Zhuge Liang controlled the power of Shu Han, and Zhuge Dan became one of the four times of Wei.

In the end, all the major families had the idea of seizing power, and at the same time wanted to break the covenant and try to dominate the family, so it soon developed into a complex infighting.

Ma Yi led his troops to the east to conquer the Gongsun clan, the Sima clan took away the power of the Cao clan and suppressed the Xiahou clan at the same time, the Zhuge clan resisted the Sima clan, Zhuge Liang used the army of Shu State, and Zhuge Dan directly launched a rebellion.

Zhang Hao's guess is almost the same, but the Zhuge clan still has another secret, but Zhang Hao doesn't know it yet.

After the army repaired in Xinchang for a day, Zhang Wen and a thousand soldiers were left behind, and the others went straight to Anshi County.

But when he arrived in Anshi, the entire county revealed a trace of weirdness, the city gates were open on all sides, and there was not a single guard in sight.

Zhang Hao didn't dare to enter, and sent a small army into the city to check, but as a result, the city was the same as Xinchang, and all the gate lords and county officials were gone.

And it was more thorough than Xinchang City, the army, money, grain and grass, everything that could be taken away was taken away, and even the food of the people's homes was looted.

"Lord, what shall we do?" In the county government, Xun Yu frowned and asked.

"First of all, give the grain and grass to the people." Zhang Hao said helplessly.

This is Yang Mou, knowing that this is the enemy deliberately doing this to drag Zhang Hao's army, but he has to stop, and now the people in the whole city have no rations.

Zhang Hao either continued to attack and didn't care about the people of this city, then I was afraid that Zhang Hao would occupy this city, and it would be difficult to manage it in the future, and it would be more likely to cause a riot among the people.

"In this way, I'm afraid that the other party will be fully prepared." Xun You said with a worried face.

"No way, do we have to watch these people starve to death, how long can our grain and grass last?" Zhang Hao sighed and said.

"If you want to supply the people of the whole city, I'm afraid it will only be enough for two days."

"Two days...... Enough, send people to Xinchang to raise grain first, as much as you can raise, and it is good to transport the grain and grass that can support Xiangping. Zhang Hao said with a deep groan.

"Lord, they said that all the grain and grass have been transported, and they will definitely not leave too far, it is estimated that they are now in Wen County, it is better to let someone go to Wen County and snatch the grain and grass back." Zhang Fei looked at Zhang Hao and said.

"No, since Anshi received the news and left early, it is estimated that other counties have also received the news, maybe now they have already arranged their troops, just waiting for us to get in." Guo Jia hurriedly said when he heard Zhang Fei's words.

"Even if there is no ambush, with the enemy receiving the news, it is not easy for us to defend the city with all our might." Xun You added.

"Shall we just wait?" Zhang Fei glared and slammed the table in front of him hard.

"Yide, don't be impatient, maybe this is also a good thing?" Zhang Hao said with a chuckle.

"What's so good about that?" Zhang Fei looked puzzled.

"They shouldn't have thought that we have enough money and food, and they think that the people of this city will drag us down, but if we can let the people of this city have food at this time, what do you think will happen to these people?" Zhang Hao said with a smile.

"Of course, these people will be grateful to the lord." Zhang Fei said suddenly.

"Not only will they not drag us down, but they will also help us win the hearts and minds of these people very quickly, and we will just fight them a few days later." Xun You nodded and said.

"Okay, in that case, let the army rest for a few days, take over this place quickly, and make sure that no one of the people will starve, and everyone else will go to rest." Zhang Hao also saw it, and ordered with a smile.

The group retreated one after another, and hundreds of grain points were set up in the city, although the grain and grass brought by the army were pitiful for the people of the whole city, but it was enough to solve an urgent need.

The people don't care who occupies the city, as long as they can eat, they will be content, after Zhang Hao's propaganda, plus the grain, the people of the city are grateful to Zhang Hao.

Two days later, when the grain and grass brought by the army had almost been eaten, the grain transport team from Xinchang City arrived, which reassured the people who were a little panicked when they saw that there was not much food.

It wasn't until five days later that Xiangping's grain transport team brought a large amount of grain, and the people's hearts completely settled down, and they also supported this Taishou even more.

After the army replenished the grain and grass, it set off again, leaving Cheng Yuanzhi and a thousand soldiers, and the others went straight to the county seat of Wenxian County.

Because he was afraid that the other party would set up an ambush on the road, Zhang Hao deliberately divided the team into three teams, with Zhao Yun in front with 3,000 cavalry, Tai Shici with 3,000 cavalry in the rear, and Zhang Fei's 3,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry in the rear.

The distance between the three teams of soldiers and horses was always about five miles, and once any team was attacked, the other two teams could quickly support, and the distance of five miles was just a charge for the cavalry.

However, I don't know if the other party was too timid, or I didn't expect to ambush on the road, and the army reached the city very smoothly.

At this time, in the county seat of Wenxian County, the city gate was closed, and many soldiers stood densely on the city wall, staring at Zhang Hao's army one by one.

"Tell the order to go down, and the army will retreat, ten miles from the city, and set up camp." Zhang Hao looked up at the sky, it was close to dusk at this time, and the army was running all the way, which was obviously not suitable for attacking the city immediately.

"Everyone can rest in peace and arrange a small number of soldiers to guard the camp." Everyone was just about to convey the order, but Zhang Hao spoke again.

"Lord, it is so close to the city, will it be too dangerous not to send heavy troops to keep vigil at night?" Xun You said cautiously.

"It doesn't matter, the more lax we behave, the less they dare come, and if we guard against it, they will come back and attack the camp." The corners of Zhang Hao's mouth curled slightly, and he said with a smile.

Now it should be Gongsun Zhao who is in charge of the overall situation in the city, with his cautious character, the more casual he behaves here, the more he dare not sneak attack at night.
