Chapter 422: The Battle of Puyang (1)

Cao Xing's fake sons have all been sealed, as Cao Xing's own son Cao He, how bad can he be in the future?

Of course, these feudal fake sons, their wives are all women of the Cao sex family, not only them, but also between the Cao sex family and the four houses of Zhou, Pingcheng, Jingzhou, and Xuzhou, and between the family and the one thousand and eighty fake sons, in order to connect them with blood relatives, there are also many marriages between each other.

Marriage is not necessarily the most reliable, but the most direct relationship between people, to these marriage groups to establish a concept, we are a family, the most direct way, and then assisted by a certain mutual benefit and win-win situation, then the relationship between each other can be said to be firm and unbreakable.

Cao Xing's begging to look at Tian Shao was pretending, but he really had something to ask him.

"Uncle Yue, as the Taishou of this crucial region in Liaodong, the next generation of the Tian family will enter the ranks of the Shi family, as He'er's maternal grandfather, in the future, He'er will be feuded, do you have to carry it up?

I believe that our He'er is indispensable to his uncle, cousin, a state minister, the position of a general, at that time in the He'er Crane country, the Cao family Tian family is a family, and the Tian family is also the largest scholar family in the Crane country. ”

The feudal state is the supreme ideal of Confucianism to restore the Zhou ceremony, and the ostensible implementation of the feudal country is naturally the system of the Zhou period, or the system of the Warring States period.

The monarch of the feudal country is supreme, and there is an administration of the prime minister, a general commanding the army, and a new state judge and judiciary, and the national patrol and arrest governor to enforce the law.

Cao Xing is equivalent to sealing his grandson and tightening his Tian family again.

Tieing relatives together with each other's blood relatives is also one of Cao Xing's main strategies.

The Shi family, the largest scholar family in the country, the Tian Shaohao strong family who came out of the seclusion, used to be eager and unattainable, but now it is a sure thing to become a Shi family, all it takes is time, or the position of the head of the Tian family is one or two generations over.

At that time, it was a huge leap for the entire Tian family.

The biggest difference between the scholar family and the Haoqiang and the common people is that they share the world with the royal family, so you can imagine how important it is to enter the ranks of the scholars.

"The minister will live up to the expectations of the lord and the children and grandchildren!"

Tian Shao's words are sincere, and the title of minister is now slowly becoming popular, Cao Xing is now the Duke of Chu, although he does not mean to open the Chu State, but some subordinate officials have begun to call themselves subordinates.

Liaodong is no longer a frontier now, and the real northeast frontier is Cao Yong's Cao State, Chen Wang Liu Chong's Chen State, Liu Yu's Yan State, Zhang Chao's Zhang State, Bao Xin's Bao State and other feudal states.

These feudal states ruled all the rich lands of Northeast China except for the three Koreas on the Korean Peninsula.

Liaodong as the two major migration and resettlement sites of northern refugees, every year there are countless refugees to come, now there are no less than five million refugees in Liaodong, these refugees used to develop Liaodong at the same time, many of them were recruited by these feudal countries to introduce the past, to be the countrymen of these feudal countries.

Liaodong has become the central hub of the Northeast feudal state, and the feudal country has become a barrier and a real frontier, and it should not be borderless.

On the other hand, the 200,000 Zhao army of Yuan Shao, the protagonist of the war, had surrounded the Qi army under the personal command of Puyang City, which had become a fortress.

An unprecedented phenomenon appeared, Puyang is the defender of the Zhao army, about 20,000 or 30,000, and outside the city is 60,000 Qi and Chu coalition troops, and the Qi army in Puyang City is surrounded by siege tactics of three missing one, which is not over, and then there are 200,000 Zhao troops, which surround the Qi and Chu coalition forces.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a sandwich biscuit.

As the "heart" of the sandwich biscuit, the psychological pressure of the Qi army can be imagined, in order to ensure that the morale of the Qi army is not turbulent, the main general Ji Ling personally stayed in command, and often showed his face, so that the Qi army knew that I was with you.

However, although the Chu army only has 10,000 Eight Banner soldiers, it is extremely confident, especially the Hydra Eight Banners, which makes the Qi army feel like they have won before a battle, and they don't care about their own situation, but many Qi troops have been infected by them.

Fortunately, when the original siege of Puyang was originally for the purpose of fighting a protracted war, the three-sided encirclement and defense line connected together was built like a fortress, and from a distance it looked like another circle of Puyang city walls, but one side was too late to be built.

Trenches, traps, horse rejections, etc., even the shameless thistle terrestris were used, and the Zhao army had to clear these before launching an attack.

Outside the encirclement outside Puyang City, more than 10,000 people were dressed in confusion, not even a unified uniform, only a few flags proved that they were Qi troops, and these Qi troops who looked like cannon fodder were carrying a bag of dirt and stepping forward in a way that was scattered.

The scorching sun could not shine into the darkness of their hearts, nor could it dispel the tremors of their bodies with warmth.

"Quick! Throw the dirt bags on your shoulders into the trench, take a few thistles, or carry the horses and wait to prove that you have done your job, and your task is complete for the day! You don't have to risk it anymore! ”

A person who is deeply hidden, dressed in iron armor and carrying an iron shield, is shouting at the cannon fodder, reminding them of their mission.

"Whoosh~"

Suddenly out of thin air, a crossbow arrow with the thickness of an arm flew in, this ironclad Zhao Jun hurriedly fell, the action was extremely sharp, the cannon fodder also reacted quickly, only one unlucky guy happened to be hit by the crossbow arrow.

The crossbow arrows with thick arms flew him several paces away, and when he fell to the ground, he didn't know where the bolts had penetrated his body.

Damn bed crossbows, the shameless Qi Chu army, attacking a city is equipped with so many bed crossbows that are useless!

The ironclad Zhao Jun complained in his heart, knowing that he had a task in his body, he began to supervise the cannon fodder again responsibly:

"Everyone, hurry up, the bed crossbow is wound very slowly, according to the hour, everyone take the opportunity to complete the task, and we can go back to the camp!"

He was shouting for others to get up and continue to clear the obstacles and trenches and other defensive fortifications laid by Qi Chujun, but he didn't mean to get up at all.

Although cannon fodder is cannon fodder, the cheapest unit that has just been formed from being pulled into the strong, but as cannon fodder, I will not feel that my life is cheaper than thistles, horses, and crossbow arrows.

"Brothers! Come on! Throw the sack into the trench, lie on your stomach and pick up some thistles, and we're done! ”

"Yes! Soldiers! I have just as many thistles here, and I can give you some, as long as you throw the sack into the trench as well. ”

"I am your chief, and I command you to throw my sacks into the trenches!"

The cannon fodder shouted to others to get up and work, and they shrank more and more than one another.
