The city in the river can't be captured, in fact, you can't blame Bai Wenke and these people, the popular thing in these years is Gao Zhucheng. Accumulate grain and prepare for war and famine. Li Shouzhen is a master in this area, his city in the river is definitely strong enough, the city walls are definitely thick enough, there is definitely enough food, and there are many troops in the city. From the very beginning, Li Shouzhen made up her mind to defend the city in the river and refuse to surrender. Let the Hou Han Dynasty attack the city with all their lives, Li Shouzhen is desperate, and the Hou Han army will not be able to attack it. Because Li Shouzhen knows that the advantage of time is on his side, as long as he holds on for every extra day, it will be one day closer to the day of Liu Chengyou's collapse.

Finally, he held on to the last hole card of the Later Han Dynasty, Guo Wei, the god of the Later Han Dynasty. Guo Wei arrived, first of all, he repaired for a few days, of course, he did not pretend to buy his old face to persuade Li Shouzhen to surrender, nor did he punish Bai Wenke and others who had not been able to attack for a long time to boost the morale of the army, he just took dozens of followers to go around the vicinity of the city in the river a few times, and then he issued his first order: Chang Si is stationed in the south of the walled city, Bai Wenke is stationed in the west of the walled city, Guo Wei leads the army to the east of the walled city, and there are no men and horses in the north of the city, at the same time, Nearly 20,000 people from the surrounding five counties were mobilized to build a continuous series of small walls between the three villages and the city in the river to protect the newly built walled city.

The order was given, and the whole army was in an uproar, what is this Guo Wei going to do, why not take advantage of the arrival of the new army to take the city in the river in one go, isn't this a missed opportunity? What is the purpose of the garrison, this city in the river and Li Shouzhen are already turtles in the urn, only need to continue to attack the city, even if you can't take the city in the river in one go, sooner or later one day will run out of the city's materials, grain and grass, and then Li Shouzhen will inevitably perish, why bother to do the work of a mason first. This is completely meaningless, it will only tire your own soldiers and give the soldiers in the city a rare respite, but it will only increase the difficulty of victory. What is Guo Wei going to do?

In the face of doubts, Guo Wei also did not move, and his silence quieted the generals. Zhao Kuangyin and everyone else are different, everyone thinks of the tall and majestic city walls of Hezhong City, and Li Shouzhen's men and horses in Hezhong City show a happy smile, if you don't come to beat me, then it's okay. Even Li Shouzhen's people can sunbathe comfortably on the city wall, and the army of the Northern Han Dynasty under the city is mixed, he has to supervise the work, transport materials, and manage 20,000 people to eat, drink, and Lazar, and you have to take a hand when the project slows down.

After many days, wow, the three walled cities were repaired, and the small city wall in the middle was also repaired, but he did not let the more than 20,000 people go back, and he did not give a new order, so the people had to continue to live in the stockade, waiting for new work.

All the Northern Han army had to do was to line up and live in a new home that had just been repaired. Guo Wei seemed to have forgotten about the attack on the city in the river, and stayed leisurely all day long. Everyone didn't know what Guo Wei wanted to do.

The reality did not make people wait long, one night, Li Shouzhen, who had been trapped in the city for a long time, suddenly led his troops to kill, and the Northern Han army resisted layer by layer, but it was still invincible, so it had to withdraw from the city wall and move towards the newly stationed military village. The strange thing is that Li Shouzhen did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but demolished all these small city walls, and then immediately transferred and returned to the city. Hold on again.

When the army of the Later Han Dynasty was assembled and ready to crush Li Shouzhen, eh, Li Shouzhen was gone. Outside the military fortress, only the broken ruins and ruins were all over the ground. This is ruined, after dozens of days of hard work, the built city wall is gone, some people began to scold their mothers, and some people laughed, do you know what black humor is? That's it. It's not so much that Li Shouzhen is hated so much, it is better to say that everyone wants to beat Guo Weihai.

At this time, Guo Wei's order was issued again, and the order was to build a small city wall again. "Eh, what the is this?" There was an unprecedented burst of foul language in the barracks, and the GIs understood at this time. Oh, I didn't dismiss the people just to do this, what did you do before, let's continue to do it now, after all, General Guo Wei's prestige is there.

A few days later, the small city wall appeared again between the barracks and the city in the river, and we won't write about the rest of it, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste,

I don't know what psychology it is, as long as Li Shouzhen sees the completion of the construction of the small city wall, he will definitely take the soldiers and horses out of the city to face the battle, and the city wall must be demolished at all costs. Then he will return to the city with his soldiers and horses. Guo Wei is like fighting with him Yes, if you destroy me, I will build, if you destroy me, you will destroy me and build again, just this kind of monotonous work, friends, he lasted a whole year on this kind of work. During this period, Li Shouzhen was far busier than Guo Wei, Li Shouzhen would walk up to the city wall every day, and measure the city, yes, not looking at it but measuring, constantly measuring the progress of the Houhan engineering team led by Guo Wei below, and over time, Li Shouzhen's subordinates found out that as long as the people below repaired the city wall to a certain extent, they should go down to clean it up. However, every time Li Shouzhen's army returned, there would be fewer of them, some of whom died in battle, some of whom died of exhaustion from tearing down walls, and some who fled. In this way, Li Shouzhen has fewer and fewer people, and there are more and more city walls that cannot be demolished, and when this proportion reaches a certain level, Guo Wei finally gave the order again, attack the city, and give me a hard beating.

This is the start of the fight, Guo Wei's soldiers and horses who have been recuperating for a whole year began to attack the city frantically, attacking on three sides, the city in the river fell with a drum, Li Shouzhen adhered to the purpose of never surrendering, and died after the city was broken.

The news spread quickly throughout the country, and several other rebellions quickly surrendered.

Everything was done, and Guo Wei won the battle in the river at the lowest cost. Now I understand, Li Shouzhen is indeed a turtle in the urn, as long as he continues to attack, Li Shouzhen will definitely perish, but the soldiers of the Later Han Dynasty will definitely die at the cost of a terrible number. Is it necessary to go like that? Is it necessary to storm Riverdale? Rather than me bear the attrition, why don't I let the enemy attack me and let the enemy bear the attrition?

Is there any way to get the enemy out? The answer is yes. Li Shouzhen is helpless, and he is already in a desperate situation. Suddenly, he saw Guo Wei with a large group of men and horses coming to besiege him, and saw these city walls approaching him step by step. Li Shouzhen couldn't bear it anymore, so he could only lead his army out of the city to increase his confidence in defending by destroying the other party. In this way, Guo Wei only used some irrelevant tofu scum projects to achieve the goal of defeating the enemy.

It can be verified that Zhao Kuangyin was by his side when Guo Wei was doing this. What cannot be verified is that Zhao Kuangyin will understand Guo Wei's intentions when he gives the first few orders.

But none of this is important, the important thing is that Zhao Kuangyin met the most important partner in his life, Chai Rong, at this time.

What happened to Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin? What did the Later Han Emperor Liu Chengyou do? We'll talk about that next time.
