In other directions, Dong Zhuo besieged Maracanda, with the map given by Gongsun Zhan, they took the lead all the way, quite a bit of a local combat feeling, the Kushan people are not familiar with them here, Dong Zhuo and Huang Zhong surrounded Maracanda and cut off all contacts, and the army in Maracandan did not dare to come out at all when they saw the tens of thousands of troops outside.

Guishan is different from the Han Dynasty, their military brigade is not subordinate to the temple, but privately owned in various places, and the war is uniformly dispatched, however, the kingdom can dispatch tens of thousands of people at the same time, and there is only one King of Guishan, not to mention, the army of Guishan rarely has such a large army battle, usually, when they fight with Anxi, they each lead their own army, with thousands of people as their troops, to fight.

Where had they ever seen such a situation where twenty or thirty thousand men were besieging a city at every turn?

Dong Zhuo did not rush to order the siege of the city, the second army of the north and south is the most elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty, and it cannot be easily consumed in the siege war, according to Gongsun Zhan's report, this place has just experienced a rebellion, after the war, the consumption of various reserves is huge, not to mention, because of the war, Nongsang has also been delayed, Dong Zhuo guessed in his heart that there must not be too much grain and materials in Maracanda.

He couldn't hold out for long in this siege.

In addition, there are two people, one headed by Cao Cao, responsible for cleaning up the small-scale enemy troops in the villages around the country, Cao Cao only brought more than 2,000 people, don't look at his soldiers are not many, but they can't bear the Guishan garrisons around the country are even less, these garrisons, did not even receive any news about the enemy attack, they were attacked by Cao Cao, to be honest, Cao Cao believes that this war is the greatest credit of the brave battalion!

With the help of various terrains, when they quietly walked around in front of the enemy, the enemy did not even react, and suffered a violent blow from Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo felt that Cao Cao fought for the first time, and was not very relieved, so he appointed his more trusted general Xu Huang to cooperate with Cao Cao to fight, Xu Huang was still a little contemptuous of Cao Cao at first, and later, he knew that he was wrong.

When he attacked the village, he first gave up the attack on the village in the woods, and first fought against the rest of the garrison, either taking advantage of the night to storm or send scouts to raid, and even more, he forced the captured Guishan soldiers to charge and attack the enemy formation.

Even if the strength is several times that of the other party, Cao Cao still has to think carefully, never act rashly, one by one, when the surrounding villages are destroyed, the remaining few, that is, the only two left, set up a garrison in the woods, no accident, Cao Cao directly ordered a fire attack, Xu Huang pursed his lips, but did not say anything, this is a village, not only the barracks, there are also the people of Guishan here....

Such a fierce means of warfare, Xu Huang only felt similar, he thought, Dong Zhuo will do this, when he first went out to Xianbei in the past, I heard that it was to indulge the soldiers, do all kinds of evil, secondly, so the captain Zhang Wen will do, I heard that he marched, never treated the thief as a person, he only wanted to kill the head, of course, the most ruthless, or the military god Duan Xi in Jianning, it is said that this person is not only ruthless to the enemy, in order to win, even his own people can be killed.

Cao Cao in less than seventeen days, eliminated a total of six garrisons, Xu Huang did not have time to intervene, obeying Cao Cao's arrangement, Cao Cao after eliminating the garrison, did not return to Dong Zhuo with the army, to participate in the siege of the city, he took these people, directly south, to Sun Jian's camp, Xu Huang did not ask much, Cao Cao is the main general, he just listened.

Another army brigade is a relatively loss, this army is led by Guan Yu, supplemented by Hua Xiong, to the northwest, on the one hand, to prevent the Kushan army from raiding from here, on the other hand, it is also to resist the reinforcements that the Flower Thorn Zim people may come, as a defensive party, they are likely to not get any decent military merits, and they only patrol the surroundings every day.

In this regard, Guan Yu is not dissatisfied, he is calm, quite a general, and he is not so greedy for military merits, eager to be on top, therefore, among all the generals, Dong Zhuo has the highest evaluation of him, thinking that he can become the second general under his command to go down in history.

Of course, the first is another Hun person, Dong Zhuo has always believed that sooner or later, this Hun man will be divided by five horses, as the first bastard of the Han Dynasty to be divided by five horses, and his name will be passed on to future generations.

Guan Yu led the arrival of the department, and it was more than ten days, during these ten days, the surroundings were quiet, there was no news of any enemy, on the opposite side, it was the city of the Hua Thorn Zim people, but they didn't even send scouts, he didn't think that the other party didn't know the situation here, as early as when Dong Zhuo's army attacked Marakanda, many people fled to Hua Thorn Zim.

However, they still hold on, do they have no confidence in victory?

Even so, Guan Yu still had to inspect three times a day, never slacking off, on the contrary, a certain person had never been there since he had inspected once, and stayed in the tent all day.

After Guan Yu finished his inspection, he asked the soldiers to pay more attention, and then walked into the camp.

Hua Xiong was sitting in the camp tent, with a case study in front of him, and a book was placed, Hua Xiong was watching, and when he saw Guan Yu walking in, he asked with a smile: "Changsheng, how is the investigation?" Is there an enemy? ”

Guan Yu's face was pale, he walked in front of Hua Xiong, sat down, stretched out his hand and snatched the book in his hand, put it beside him, and said, "If you dare to touch my book again, I will cut off your hand..."

"Changsheng, the friendship between you and me for more than ten years is not as good as this book? This paper? ”

"It's not as good as that."

Hua Xiong sighed helplessly, and said: "Changsheng, why is this Guishan person so timid, he doesn't even send any reinforcements, I'm here to fight, or to step on the spring, I'm just walking around here all day long, fishing, I'm not from Donghao..."

Guan Yu frowned, without words, and was thinking in his heart, if he wanted to support Sogdia, the Kushan people had only two ways to go, either to cross the river from Great Xia into Sogdia, or to cross the river from Huazhuzim, and they were not seen for a long time, so they were not preparing to cross from Great Xia? I remember that Sun Jian was in charge of capturing there, and I don't know if there was an accident.

"Changsheng, why don't I lead a group of people over there to see how they are doing?"

Hua Xiong asked, but Guan Yu shook his head.

"Over there, there are many mountains and forests, even if you go over, you won't be able to find out too much news, so let's wait for Gongsun Chan and them to arrive..."

Since Guan Yu said so, Hua Xiong could only give up.

Outside of Maracanda, Dong Zhuo is still surrounded here.

Gongsun Chan led the soldiers to come, just arrived, and was discovered by the group of brave battalion soldiers brought by Dong Zhuo, and successfully converged, Gongsun Chan was taken to Dong Zhuo's camp by the soldiers, Dong Zhuo ordered to cut down the surrounding trees, build a large camp outside the city, and build siege equipment, but did not directly attack the city, Gongsun Chan passed through the busy crowd and entered the camp.

As soon as he walked outside the camp tent, he heard the sound of quarrel coming from the camp tent, and the soldiers standing outside the camp tent saw Gongsun Chan coming, and immediately went in to pray, Gongsun Chan walked in, inside the camp tent, Jia Xu and Dong Zhuo each sat on the side, their faces were a little unhappy, Gongsun Chan hurriedly greeted, Dong Zhuo barely squeezed out a smile, and asked, "Bo Gui, come, sit." ”

Gongsun Chan sat down and told him about the war in the south.

Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "Wentai has done a good job and has made great contributions... I learned from the captives that the army stationed in the south was the most elite army in Sogdia, and that their leader, Hai, and even the commander-in-chief of the whole of Sogdia, was the general who commanded the whole army... Wentai's battle directly destroyed the enemy's generals..."

Hearing Dong Zhuo say this, Gongsun Zhan understood why the enemy in the south was so difficult.

"That veteran Hay... Was he killed by Wentai himself? Dong Zhuo asked.

"Veteran?" Gongsun Chan frowned, no, the enemy general is a young man, Gongsun Chan thought for a moment and said; "Dong Gong, their veteran seems to have died of illness, and the new general was indeed killed by General Sun himself."

"Well... Bogui, you are also tired, go down and rest, I still have some things to discuss with the captain..."

Gongsun Chan nodded and took his leave.

"Jia Gong, you heard... Sun Jian captured Xinha, the enemy's reinforcements will not be able to arrive in a short period of time, as long as the siege lasts for some time, Marakanda will be broken! Dong Zhuo said solemnly, Jia Xu shook his head and said, "Dong Gong, you only said that there is no food in Marakanda, don't you want to think about us?" Our grain baggage is also transported from the Western Regions... How long can we support the supplies we are carrying now? ”

"The enemy hasn't run out of food yet, so we'll run out of food first, and when the time comes, the Kushan reinforcements will attack, what can we do about it?"

"How can we run out of food? Isn't the next batch of supplies coming soon? We have also gained a lot in the villages of Guishan, how can it not be enough? ”

"Well, if the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and people in the city surrender, I don't know how Dong Gong decided to feed them??"

"It's... Kill them all! ”

"So, we're here for an empty city?"

"So what do you say?!"

"We should quickly break through the city, and then mobilize the people to hurry to plough, for last year, the farming was delayed, and if this year is the same, we will simply withdraw to the Western Regions... There is no need to attack the city again, otherwise, we will not be able to feed these people, and sooner or later the city will become empty, and it will be useless! ”

Dong Zhuo frowned, clenched his fists, and attacked, the Northern and Southern Army is the most elite army of the Han Dynasty, in order to cultivate this batch of troops, the Han Dynasty does not know how much it spent, so he threw himself into the siege war, and broke the city by consuming the number of people... Dong Zhuo couldn't bear it in his heart.

"Dong Gong, I know, you are worried that storming the city will cause too many casualties..."Jia Xu smiled, he slowly approached Dong Zhuo, stared at his eyes, and whispered: "Dong Gong, this siege matter, why don't you hand it over to me, how about it?" ”

"You? Do you think I don't know how to siege a city? ”

"Naturally not, if Dong Gong can be trusted, let me try, within ten days, I will break the city!"

"Ten days?" Dong Zhuo's face was a little disdainful, he looked at Jia Xu in front of him, looking up and down.

"Okay, Taiwei Gong actually said so, how dare I disobey? But if the Taiwei Gong is a mustard of people's lives, he will kill my soldiers in the north and south..."

Jia Xu looked at Dong Zhuo, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Don't worry, Dong Gong will do it in ten days."
