The name of the state capital of Congzhou is Qin Jing, and Wan Kang came to Congzhou in the twelfth year and served as the state capital. It was not demoted, nor was it promoted, it was transferred from the capital. This is a rule of the Zhao State for the central officials, and they must go to the local government once every few years. Qin Jing is like this, Wan Kang still has to go back in the fourteenth year.

It stands to reason that Beijing officials who are transferred to local areas usually lie dormant politically for several years. Because even if it is difficult for a magistrate to have any influence on the imperial court, once something goes wrong, he will really have to stay in the local area for the rest of his life and be transferred around without being promoted. Although if something goes wrong, this is the best situation.

But just because they're politically dormant doesn't mean they're not free. There will be some oil and water fishing in the local area, not to mention that the Beijing officials who have been transferred will usually make a good plan in advance and go to a more "fat" place. And Congzhou is a good place that Qin Jing found for himself.

This is the border of Yanzhao, and the flow of the Tiange River is relatively smooth and straight, and there are many good wharves left in history. It has always been the center of commodity distribution. If the merchants who come and go need to have a relationship, he is naturally indispensable. Over time, Qin Jing's sweetness tasted a little big, and he didn't want to go back to the capital, thinking about how to stay in Congzhou next year.

It's just that fate won't give him next year.

Because someone brought 200 soldiers, surrounded the Zongzhou Mansion, and then lit a fire. Even if the fire broke out from all sides, the fire would not be too big at first, and at this time, Hou Tian heard the whistle from the side of the city wall.

It seems that Guo Rongliang's side is not going very well, it seems that he has to solve the matter here quickly and get closer to them. Hou Tian thought so.

He ordered dozens of people, and the rest still surrounded the state capital, and he himself led these people into the gate.

There are three exits from Congzhou Mansion, and there is a side door at the back door of the gate. If someone had prepared the tunnel in advance, Hou Tian would have to consider himself unlucky. After all, it happened in a hurry, and there is no such thing as an authentic thing. As for discovering the three exits, they are the key places for his subordinates to watch, and I don't think they can mix up people.

The doorman of the gate has long been put down, but this does not mean that Hou Tian and they will not be discovered. In fact, in order to solve the matter here more quickly, Hou Tian and his subordinates were very high-profile. Of course, the huge state capital has hired strong men to serve as nursing homes to solve some problems that may occur. But they can't solve today's problems.

The so-called elite soldiers, their essence is reflected in their well-trained. What's more, when ordinary people see such a group of people, their first reaction is usually not to rush up to fight, but to ask what to do first. This has become a situation of mental arithmetic and unintentional arithmetic. Maybe there was indeed someone with superior force in the nursing home, but he had been penetrated long before he got his hands on it.

The cleanup of the state capital was unusually easy, and it could even be said that there was no resistance. But Hou Tian didn't intend to kill so many people, except for those who tried to use force against them, the rest were released. Hou Tian is a kind-hearted person, and there are many people in Mobei who want to correct his "shortcoming", but he has always refused to accept it.

Just like this time, probably Guo Rongliang will tell him that Qin Jing may disguise himself as a subordinate and run out. Hou Tian also knew this possibility, but he couldn't bear to kill so many innocent lives because of this. Moreover, he was in a hurry to get to the city walls, and he did not have time or means to control them.

After rummaging through the state capital, he didn't find Qin Jing, and just as he was about to give up, he suddenly heard a man in the pit shouting "help".

Hou Tian rushed to take a look, and couldn't help laughing, only to see this man fluttering in the dung tank, as if he was swimming, and there was no place on his body that was not drowning. Hou Tian thought to himself, this is probably Qin Jing. Thinking of this, he hurriedly found a subordinate from a state capital to identify. When the next person looked at it, it was indeed Qin Jing.

Since rescuing him is also going to kill, it is better to kill him directly in the dung pit. Thinking of this, Hou Tian shot him in the face from top to bottom. Looking at his figure sinking into the manure tank, the subordinate who came to identify him suddenly thought of something, picked up the dung scoop on the side and scooped it up vigorously.

Hou Tian was a little strange, and his leg that stepped out paused slightly. "Hey, what are you doing?" The man didn't look back and said, "How can a normal person sink so quickly in the manure tank, he must have gold on him." ”

The deputy pioneer thought about it, and it seemed to make sense. But that's not what he wants to do. After killing Qin Jing, he hurriedly ran to the city gate with his men.

However, the scene at the city gate was slightly different from what he thought, and he thought it was a chaotic battlefield, but in fact there were not too many people. The ropes of the drawbridge have been cut and the gates have been opened. The entire city of Congzhou was like a lamb to be slaughtered, and for the large army, this was the situation they were most happy to see.

Hou Tian listened carefully to the sound in the wind and found that the sound of shouting and killing in the air was mainly coming from the southwest. So he took his men and went southwest.

Approaching the place of the fight, Hou Tian found that this was the camp of the garrison in the city, and while admiring Guo Rongliang's courage, he observed the situation. Sometimes it doesn't work to put troops in the first place, you have to calm down and carefully analyze how to add good steel to the blade.

Then he saw that it was actually quite effective to put troops into the first place. Because for them, they had just heard the signal of the enemy's situation and were about to put on their armor and go into battle, when they met the pioneer Guo Rongliang's people at the camp gate, which made them unclear about the number of the other party.

There is also a more important thing, the soldiers of Congzhou City completely lack the necessary training, it is better to say that Hou Tian did not see any traces of training from them at all. On the other hand, Yan has never slackened the training of border defenders, and when it was about to invade, it secretly transferred the generals of Yanbei to the south. Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers does not know how much higher, not to mention that the vanguard is originally an elite soldier.

Hou Tian sighed. "All the staff pressed, all wrapped, remember to leave a gap." If the blockade is too tight, the trapped beasts in the camp will sooner or later realize that there are not many soldiers in front of them, and if they realize it, things will not be easy. There are definitely more than 400 defenders in a state capital station, and no matter how optimistic the estimate is, it must be more than seven or eight times, even if the combat effectiveness is low, two fists cannot beat four hands.

It's better to keep them on the run.

Hou Tian took the lead and rushed over first, standing with Guo Rongliang in the battle.

"Governor, did you dispose of it?"

"Well, I found him a fertile place to bury it."

Guo Rongliang was a little surprised, he knew that this sentence could not be understood in a literal sense of course - Hou Tian could not have that idle time, but he was confused and he really couldn't connect fertility with thatched pits.

But now is obviously not the time to ask in detail, the enemy is present.

Hacking the oncoming Zhao soldiers to death, Guo Rongliang gasped and asked Hou Tian.

"What do you think...... Back...... And how much longer. ”

Hou Tian was not easy, and his lobes were tired into bellows. But then again, between the knives and guns, there is still a space to talk, which should be easy in comparison.

Hou Tian thought for a while, "Let's go into the city...... It seems that it has been more than half an hour, and Shaodu Wharf is not far from here, so they should be fast if they don't rest. ”

"Then work harder, brother, and I owe you a drink when I get back." After speaking, Guo Rongliang took his big knife again. He roared as he turned around, "Dayan Tianwei has arrived, those who lay down their weapons and surrender can spare you from dying." If he refuses to surrender, Hugh blames the sword for having no eyes and losing his life. ”

The roar is really loud and full of energy.

As for the power of this sentence, it was too much for him to expect.

……

Shaodu Wharf——

After all, water transportation is a slow job, and it is impossible to have enough ships to transport all the troops at the same time, so Generalissimo Zang Pang of Weinan chose the method of transportation in batches. At this time, the first batch has already set off, and if you calculate the time, I am afraid that it will also arrive in Congzhou City. The second group does not plan to leave today, but will rest at Shaodu Wharf tonight and think about the road tomorrow.

"Marshal, don't be impatient, Guo Rongliang has not been a pioneer, maybe he just forgot to report the news." This voice can be heard from one of the halls by the docks.

"General Liu Feiyong, how can I not know, looking at Shaodu's defense, this Nanzhao did not expect our attack at all, and the possibility of problems in the vanguard is not great, but as a marshal, he can't control the military situation in time, which makes me a little irritable, and I don't care. It's just that I want to call Guo Rongliang to come to me to get his military stick afterwards. ”

"That's right, there is still a punishment for this military discipline."

It was the foyer of an inn, and the useless furnishings had been disposed of. Now it has become a place for Zang Pang and the generals to discuss military information.

It was getting late, and the afterglow of the setting sun was about to fade, and it would probably be dark before long. Just as Zang Pang was about to have dinner to end the day, a herald rushed in from outside the door.

"Report!"

He looked a little out of breath, but he immediately adjusted his breathing and reported in a loud voice:

"The city of Congzhou has been taken by Guo Rongliang and the vanguard, and thousands of defenders of Zhaoguo have been captured, and the details cannot be counted, and Qin Jing, the capital of Congzhou, died in the house. We lost one hundred and twenty-six men. ”

Hearing the news, Liu Feiyong stood up and hurriedly asked, "Is this true?" ”

But obviously, this issue is stupid to put in the military. Zang Pang waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down. Although Zang Pang thought that this raid might go unusually well, he didn't expect it to be so. For the capture of Congzhou City, the loss of one hundred and twenty-six people can be said to be insignificant.

He let the herald retreat, the irritability on his face gone. As for Liu Feiyong, there is already an unstoppable smile between his eyebrows, as if he is marrying a daughter-in-law today.

"However, rewards and punishments are rewarded, and military sticks still have to be beaten."
