Gongsun Zhan took a short rest, and then took advantage of the great victory to quickly advance eastward and attack Liaodong County! At the same time, Tian Chou was also summoned from Jixian County to the subject state of Liaodong.

He also ordered Prime Minister Tian Chou to pacify the people of Liaoxi County and Liaodong Subordinate County and rebuild after the war.

At this time, Gongsun Du had just arrived in Liaodong County with the defeated army, and was organizing officials everywhere to recruit soldiers and young men, but because he had already been recruited once, there were very few people who responded this time!

Gongsun Zhan's army set off from the subject country of Liaodong and entered Liaodong County along the way, as if entering a no-man's land, and the counties along the way surrendered one after another and were included in Gongsun Zhan's banner!

For the counties of Liaodong County that surrendered to him, Gongsun Chan did not interfere too much, but directly ordered someone to notify Tian Chou, and Tian Chou took over!

It can be said that at present, the entire Youzhou Gongsun Zan controls the area. All government affairs are taught to Tian Chou to be responsible, and Gongsun Chan only lives with official appointments and the army!

In the end, Gongsun Zan's army arrived at Xiangping County, the base camp of Gongsun Du's army, a month later! At this time, Gongsun Du and the previous defeated army only had a total of 60,000 troops!

Moreover, half of the 60,000 troops are young and strong, and the recruits and the other half have just suffered a major defeat and are even more demoralized, and Gongsun Du is also very helpless about this!

After the 80,000 troops led by Gongsun Zhan arrived at Xiangping City, they did not stop at all. Gongsun Zhan, Yan Rou, Gongsun Fan and others led a large army to storm Xiangping City on the same day!

However, although Gongsun Du is weak, but the defense of Xiangping City is decent, Gongsun Zan led the army to attack for nearly half a month without the slightest upper hand, and lost nearly 20,000 troops, and Xiangping City only lost more than 5,000 young men and more than 1,000 veterans!

Helpless after repeated attacks, Gongsun Chan gathered a group of generals and began to discuss!

"Ladies and gentlemen, we only have 80,000 troops in this attack on Liaodong County, but we have lost less than 20,000 in more than half a month in attacking Xiangping City!

Although I have ordered the troops stationed in the rear to reorganize the troops and horses, and then support us, it is not possible to replenish too many soldiers in the short term!

So, what do you think about this attack on Xiangping City? Gongsun Chan saw everyone coming, and then began to speak!

"Lord, Xiangping City is Gongsun Du's lair, attacked half a month ago, we have the advantage of troops, and the army led by the lord is the elite of a hundred battles!

And now, the young man under the command of Gongsun Du has become an elite after half a month of life and death battle, and the difference between him and the lord's army is not too big, so the location, people and people are not in the lord, and it is a little difficult to defeat Xiangping City! Xian Yuyin, who had just surrendered to Gongsun Zan, said!

In fact, when Xian Yuyin, Xian Yufu, Yan Rou and Qi Zhou and others rebelled before, although they were under the banner of avenging Liu Yu, the actual purpose was to seize the territory and divide one side, and then they were defeated by Tian Chou, Yan Rou and others naturally did not daydream, but to save their lives, so even if they surrendered now, Gongsun Zan could also put themselves in the right position!

"That's true, I think about it too, it's impossible to take Xiangping City by storm, and the only way to win it is to win it by surprise!" Gongsun Chan nodded and said, "It's just, Ji will come out?" ”

"Lord, even if this is not the time to attack Xiangping City, why don't you not attack it, after the food in Xiangping City is exhausted, the lord can take Xiangping in one fell swoop!" Gongsun Fan thought about it and said!

"I also thought so before, but after all, Xiangping City is Gongsun Du's lair, and there is so much grain and grass in it, according to the scout's previous report, the grain and grass in Xiangping City are enough for the soldiers and civilians in the city to eat for half a year! If you save a little, you can even call it seven or eight months!

However, at present, the western part of Youzhou is empty, and Yuan Shao is attacking Bingzhou at this time, so that we have the opportunity to fight with Gongsun Du. However, when Yuan Shao returns to the army, and I still lead the army here, Yuan Shao will inevitably take advantage of the emptiness of the western part of Youzhou to send troops from Bingzhou and Jizhou to attack Wuyouzhou. Gongsun Chan thought about it and expressed his worries!

"Lord, this matter is not difficult, now Gongsun Du is in Xiangping City, and most of the soldiers in Lelang County and Xuansu County have been transferred by Gongsun Du to Liaodong vassal country to fight with the lord, and most of them have been defeated.

Therefore, there are not many soldiers in Lelang County and Xuansu County at present, and then when General Shan's reinforcements arrive, the lord can send a large army to trap Gongsun Du on the periphery of Xiangping City, and then send a large army to attack Lelang County and Xuansu County, so that when Lelang County and Xuansu County fall under the rule of the lord, Gongsun Du may surrender without a fight! Yan Rou thought for a while and said!

Gongsun Chan didn't say much about the suggestions of the generals, first dismissed the generals, and then thought about the generals' countermeasures alone in the camp!

Before thinking about it for long, the soldiers came in and handed a letter to Gongsun Zhan, and after Gongsun Chan opened it, he realized that it was originally a letter from Tian Chou, and the content of the letter was to recommend Liu Zheng to Gongsun Chan to avoid trouble in Liaodong!

Previously, Sun Du, the Taishou Gonggong of Liaodong County, was afraid and disgusted with Liu Zheng and wanted to kill him, so his entire family was arrested, but Liu Zheng was able to escape.

Then, Gongsun Du informed the counties: "Those who dare to harbor Liu Zheng are guilty of the same crime as Liu Zheng." Liu Zheng was in a state of distress and went to Bingyuan, who hid him for more than a month, when Tai Shici, a Donglai man who had taken refuge in Liaodong, was about to return to the Central Plains, so Bingyuan entrusted Liu Zheng to Tai Shici.

Subsequently, Liu Zheng set off with Tai Shici to escape from Liaodong County, but after arriving in Youbeiping County, Liu Zheng separated from Tai Shici and lived in seclusion in Youbeiping County!

And, when Liu Zheng lived in seclusion in Youbeiping, he often talked about scriptures and classics with Tian Chou, but at that time, Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan were honest against the Cold War period, so Liu Zheng had no intention of going out in Youzhou.

And now, Gongsun Zan has sprung up and defeated Liu Yu strongly, coupled with Tian Chou's persuasion, Liu Zheng is actually willing to go to Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Chan is very happy about this.

Originally, Gongsun Zhan was only a military attaché, and he only had four or five generals under him, but now he defeated Liu Yu and obtained the help of Tian Chou, so as to rule Youzhou, so he gradually understood the wonder of scholars!

Moreover, Liu Zheng is famous, Gongsun Chan still only knows that Liu Zheng is a famous man with Bing Yuan and Wang Lie, and Liu Zheng is strategic, if he can be assisted by Liu Zheng, Gongsun Chan believes that he will be like a tiger!

Therefore, Gongsun Chan quickly replied to Tian Chou and informed Tian Chou that Gongsun Chan would immediately set off to return to Youbeiping County, visit Liu Zheng in person, and ask him to come out!

On the second day, Gongsun Chan handed over the entire army to Gongsun Fan and ordered Yan Rou to assist. And he himself led two thousand white horses to gallop all the way back to Youbeiping!

After the Liaodong vassal state received Tian Chou, Gongsun Zan and his entourage arrived at Liu Zheng's place half a month later, and Liu Zheng's family had already been rescued by Bing Yuan at this time!

Even if Gongsun Chan went out in person, Liu Zheng naturally would not shirk it, so he was recruited by Gongsun Chan as a military advisor and rushed to Xiangping City, Liaodong County with the army!

When passing through the subject country of Liaodong, Gongsun Zhan led the 50,000 soldiers and horses that had been reorganized alone to Xiangping City!

When he arrived at Xiangping City, Liu Zheng suggested that Gongsun Zhan besiege Xiangping City with an army of 80,000, while another army of 30,000 attacked Lelang County and Xuansu County!!

Then Gongsun Zan ordered Gongsun Fan to lead an army of 80,000 to besiege Xiangping City, and Liu Zheng was the military advisor. At the same time, leave Xian Yuyin to assist Gongsun Fan!

Gongsun Zan himself personally led an army of 30,000 troops, and Qi Zhou and Yan Rou set out to attack Lelang County and Xuansu County!
