Liu Dujun besieged the city for a month and consumed a lot of money and food. There has been no food in Guiyang City for a long time, everything that can be eaten in the city has been eaten, and even the rats are about to be found and eaten. Wang Cang and the soldiers and civilians of Guiyang City held on for so long completely by will, and the hands of the soldiers defending the city holding their spears were trembling with hunger, and if this continued, there would really be a tragedy of cannibalism in the city.

Everyone's faces revealed despair and fear, and Liu Dujun outside the city also suffered heavy casualties, Liu Du looked at the dilapidated and still strong Guiyang City, and scolded angrily at the soldiers besieging the city: "Waste, a group of waste. There were only 5,000 old and weak soldiers in the city, and my 30,000 troops attacked for a month but did not capture Guiyang City. ”

The soldiers who besieged the city dared not speak out, and silently scolded Liu Du in their hearts, you have the ability, what are you yelling here?

Liu Du said: "Ordered Pan Feng to pull over the defenders stationed in all counties, and add 20,000 troops, I don't believe that I can't capture a Guiyang City!" ”

Wang Cang leaned weakly on the city tower, and saw the flag covering the sky in the distance, pressing over like a dark cloud. Unexpectedly, I didn't expect to come to the rescue, and the enemy actually increased the troops again.

Liu Du ordered Li Dao, Zhao Feng, and Pan Feng to lead an army to attack the west, east, and south gates respectively, Guiyang City was no longer able to defend, Wang Cang raised his sword to encourage the army and the people to continue to defend to the death, more than half of the soldiers and civilians died in the battle, and Wang Cang's body was also stabbed in several places.

"Woo woo~" A familiar horn sound came from afar, and Wang Cang laughed wildly, and he couldn't tell whether he was crying or laughing on his face. Reinforcements are coming!

After Han Hao visited Han Xuan, Han Xuan asked him to lead Tai Shici, Zhu Huan, Xu Sheng, Yang Ling and other generals to lead 30,000 troops to rescue Guiyang quickly, and finally arrived before Guiyang City was broken.

Zhu Huan had met Han Xuan at Han Meng's wedding banquet before, and Wu County had not yet surrendered at that time. After Wu Jun surrendered, the Zhu family stood in Han Xuan's team, and Han Xuan promoted Zhu Huan as filial piety and made him the head of Yang Xian. Changsha was in an emergency, and when Han Xuan was in the army, Zhu Huan took the county soldiers to meet Han Hao and came to the rescue together.

Han Hao led a large army to engage Liu Du's army, and Zhu Huan took the opportunity to lead his subordinates to break into Liu Du's villages and set fire, and Liu Du's army was in chaos. Zhao Feng tried his best to stabilize his position, Tai Shici galloped with a light horse, and pulled the bow again and again, and the sergeant Liu Du fell silently when he hit the arrow.

Zhao Feng saw Tai Shi Ci's halberd coming towards him, and he was busy with his horse and spear to resist, and the two fought for fifteen times, and Zhao Feng's Yajiao gun was shaken away by Tai Shi Ci's halberd. Later, Han Hao raised his sword and led the cavalry to kill him, Han Hao had not been to the front line for a long time, and now he was even more enthusiastic and stabbed to death more than a dozen enemy soldiers with a long sword.

Zhao Feng was defeated, and Pan Feng was besieged by Xu Sheng, Yang Ling, Song Qian and other generals. Liu Du's army was demoralized and defeated on all fronts, but fortunately, Li Dao's troops did not engage Han Xuanjun head-on, so Li Dao escorted Liu Du to retreat to Linwu first.

After Han Hao killed Liu Du's army, he led the army into Guiyang City, and Wang Cang cried to him: "General, my Wang Cang has not lost the lord's father. The city has been out of food for half a month, and none of our Guiyang soldiers and civilians have surrendered to defend the city! ”

After Wang Cang finished speaking, he fainted excitedly, Han Hao hurriedly supported him, and said to Han Chang: "Quickly help Wang Taishou to rest." ”

Han Hao asked the sergeant to distribute the military rations to the soldiers and civilians of Guiyang first, and they were all so hungry that they even pulled out the flour bags and ate them dry. Han Hao asked Yang Ling to maintain order and told them that Gu Yong's escort of grain and grass would arrive soon to calm people's hearts.

After Gu Yong escorted the military rations to arrive, Han Xuan's army began to regain the lost territory, and the northern counties were reunited under the attack of reinforcements from all walks of life. Only Nanping, Linwu and other counties in the south could not be attacked, and Liu Dujun officially entered the territory of Guiyang and confronted Han Xuanjun in the north and south.

Han Xuan couldn't help but sigh at the power of Jia Xu and Li Dao, the two top strategists, although Liu Dujun's attack on Changsha failed, but occupying Guiyang was a very fatal blow to Han Xuan. Guiyang borders Jiaozhou to the south, and the trade routes of Han Xuan and Shixie are cut off by Liu Dujun, and Jiangdong's commerce will be dealt a major blow.

And Liu Du can use this to negotiate with Shixie and win over the forces of Jiaozhou, and Liu Du can wantonly collect commercial taxes and expand military resources. And if Shi Xie threw himself into Liu Du's arms, then Han Xuan would fail diplomatically.

Chen Wu and his entourage in the territory of the Southern Xiongnu naturally did not know a series of things that happened in Changsha, Chen Wu rode a Xiliang war horse on the vast prairie, and their war horse attracted the attention of many herdsmen. Nomadic men are always ready to join the army, and a good war horse is not only a guarantee of their own lives, but also a tool for plundering military merit and wealth.

Along the way, several groups of people asked Chen Wu about the purchase, but they were all rejected by Chen Wu and others, and the Xiliang War Horse not only has strong explosiveness but also has good durability. If the herders are bred with Xiliang horses and Hequ horses, they may be able to get better horse breeds.

"These cunning Han people!" Although the herdsmen were very greedy for Chen Wu and their war horses, the Xiongnu had orders to call for kitchen springs, and they were not allowed to buy and sell by force on the merchants who walked. Chen Wu and others pretended to be walking merchants to pass through the patrol of the Hun cavalry all the way.

I have to say that Hu Chuquan has done a very good job in this point, if there are no these merchants on the grassland, whether it is iron tools for war and tea, salt and iron bricks necessary for life, they will not be able to enter the grassland, this is the "Profit Business Order".

With the protection of the merchant order, Chen Wu and others swaggered on the streets of the Xiongnu royal court, the royal court is the capital of the Southern Xiongnu, although it is not as tall as the Central Plains city, because it is the center of the surrounding Huns, when the Central Plains is in a war, it is extraordinarily prosperous. In 195, after the Xiongnu Shan Yu Yu Luo died of illness in the Central Plains, his brother Hu Chuquan took Yu Fuluo's son Liu Bao back to the grassland, Hu Chuquan inherited the position of Shan Yu, Liu Bao was given the Han surname "Liu" by the Huns and was called Zuo Xian King by the Huns. Although the Xiongnu royal court was calm and undercurrent, it was still harmonious on the surface, and for a time the prosperity of the royal court even surpassed Chang'an, the capital of the Han Dynasty, which had become a ruin.

Chen Wu walked on the street and inspected the surrounding buildings, the entire royal court was divided into three parts, the most important belonged to the south court of Shan Yu, which was equivalent to the imperial palace. It was heavily garrisoned, and the most elite forces of the entire Xiongnu were armed, followed by the liaison offices of the various tribes in the royal court, and it was also the place where the Xiongnu tribes lived. There is also the location of the Xiongnu Zhonglang General of the Han Dynasty, and it is also the place where the royal court guards the army is concentrated. Unlike the Central Plains, which relied on tall walls and city defenses to defend against invasions, a large number of royal armies were gathered together, and with the rapid movement of war horses, they could quickly annihilate the invading enemy.

The location where Chen Wu is located is the most prosperous and complex place in the entire royal court, where all the three sects and nine streams are gathered, not only the Huns of various tribes, the caravans of the Central Plains, countless taverns, shops, and handmade shops with deep backgrounds that are not controlled by the royal court.

Chen Wu and his subordinates first found a place to live, and prepared to find out the situation before making plans. Chen Wu found an inn on an old street, and the person who opened the shop was a Han man, and it was not possible to open a shop here without a background. Chen Wu walked into the inn, and the guy who ran the hall asked in fluent Chinese, "Guest officer, are you from Zhongyuan?" ”

Chen Wu handed the rope to the man and said, "It's not like I just came from somewhere else and got a few horses. Serve carefully, these are high-quality war horses. ”

The guy agreed again and again, and when the innkeeper saw Chen Wu and the others coming in, he immediately greeted him and asked, "How many of you live here permanently?" ”

"Stay for a while, find us a quiet courtyard, and don't have other idlers. Rest assured, the price will not be disadvantaged. Chen Wu glanced at the environment of the inn, it seemed that business was not bad, and this kind of local intelligence source was relatively extensive. The shopkeeper saw that Chen Wu was born richly, so he asked his man to lead Chen Wu and them to a compound.

"Man, this is your reward." Chen Wu gave the guy some copper plates, and his face bloomed with joy.

"Is there anything new in the royal court these days?" Chen Wu sat down and asked.

"It's not a big deal these days, it's just that Hu Chi'er, the deputy general of the Han envoy Zhonglang, was injured a few days ago."

Ladies and gentlemen, recommend votes and collect a little, and with your support, I can continue to insist on writing!
