Within the county office, Mo Rongfeng followed Xi Zhicai's side with a smile on his face and introduced the captives in front of him. www.biquge.info In this battle, Xi Zhicai didn't expect it to be so easy, it can be said that Hou Cheng was hit down by Murong Feng and his 1,000 cavalry, causing the soldiers and horses of the other three gates to become decorations.

After praising Murong Feng a few words, Guo Jia ordered all the captives to be imprisoned, and then the whole city was under martial law. The city changed hands overnight, and the Goguryeo people in the city were panicked, but the few remaining Han people were cheering, and they had been oppressed by the Goguryeo people for so many years.

After a night's rest, the Liaodong Army did not harass any civilians. Until noon on the second day, the Han people, who had been oppressed all year round, led the Liaodong army to slaughter all the big families in the city and seized countless money. The panic in the entire Hou City spread rapidly, but the large-scale massacre did not happen, but the Liaodong Army announced everywhere that no one in the city was allowed to go out without permission.

At night, in the Houcheng County Ya, Xi Zhicai looked at the list in his hand and said: "No wonder the lord often says that war is the real way to make money." ”

When all the generals arrived, Xi Zhi put down the bamboo slip in his hand and said: "In the battle of Houcheng, the soldiers of the Murong tribe should be the first to take credit, and the rest of the generals will have merit. It is unimaginable that this small Hou Cheng alone has seized so much property! ”

Immediately, the whole hall was full of discussions, although Zhang He and other generals did not know the specific number, but there were dozens of carriages that were transported into the county government during the day.

"Damn, this is just a Hou Cheng who is so rich, I don't know what Goguryeo City will be like!"

"Lao Pei is right, he should immediately send troops to attack Goguryeo City!"

"Yes, yes, send troops immediately!"

Looking at the people who were eager to fight, Xi Zhicai coughed lightly and then said: "Goguryeo City is going to be attacked, but Houcheng also needs to be guarded, who of you is willing to take on this heavy responsibility?" “

The generals look at me, I look at you, but no one speaks. Xi Zhicai looked at everyone's expressions and said again: "Before the expedition, the lord has a word first, and whoever stays here will be sealed as the county order of this place!" ”

"Master Xi, Pei Yuanshao is willing to stay in the town to guard!" As soon as Xi Zhi finished speaking, Pei Yuanshao got up and said.

"Haha! It seems that there are still people who want this county order! ”

"My old Pei knows that he has two catties, and he can't compete for you anyway, so it's better to stay here and guard!"

"Hahaha" There was a burst of laughter in the lobby, this Pei Yuanshao told the truth, among several generals, his martial arts skills were the worst, so it was better to stay here and solve everyone's worries.

"Since Pei Yuanshao voluntarily stayed, then he will lead a thousand soldiers and horses from his headquarters to guard this place." Speaking of this, Xi Zhi paused, then looked at Pei Yuanshao and added: "Don't be careless with so much property. ”

"No," Pei Yuanshao replied with a straight face.

The martial law in Houcheng lasted for three days, and the people did not know when the Liaodong army would set off. For the people at the bottom, as long as they can eat enough and dress warmly, the rest is not something they should consider. The Liaodong army went all the way to the north, the banner died down, and the morale of the whole army was high, especially the five thousand Xianbei soldiers, Houcheng was robbed of the first merit by his compatriots in the first battle, and he was holding back a lot of strength in his heart.

In the city of Goguryeo, the royal family and nobles drank the pond and meat forest all day long, and did not notice the danger gradually approaching. Since the Han court's control over the frontier weakened, the Goguryeo people were no longer as full of reverence for the Han Dynasty as before, and they should see the strength of their neighbors Xianbei people, and dream that one day they would be able to march towards the Forte of the Han Dynasty like Xianbei.

"What do you think of the Battle of Goguryeo?" In his spare time on the march, Guo Jia found Zhang He and asked.

"Master Xi, he thinks it's inappropriate to attack. When the enemy is shown to be weak, lure the enemy out of the city, and then attack him unprepared! Zhang He said seriously in the face of Xi Zhicai's inquiry.

"Hahaha, I don't know, when I saw you for the first time, the lord said, Zhang Junyi is a rare good general, so I asked today! The Lord knows the five bodies that people can be loyal to admire! Xi Zhicai laughed and laughed at himself.

The two opened the topic one by one, talking and laughing all the way, Zhang He asked about the details of the battle with Xianbei from time to time, and Xi Zhicai naturally did not have the slightest reservation. When the Liaodong army was only a day's journey from Goguryeo, Xi Zhi gave the order to raise the banner of the Han army, and the unexpected effect of this battle had been achieved, which was to create some psychological pressure on the Goguryeo people.

In Goguryeo City, when the news of the appearance of the Han army came back, everyone was stunned. Where this Han army came from and why it was discovered so close made everyone puzzled. The people panicked, the royal family members also panicked, and the army assembled in a hurry was also a little unstable, and the combat effectiveness of the Han army was passed on by the Xianbei people.

Fortunately, the scouts sent back the news that the Han army only had 1,000 cavalry and 3,000 foot soldiers, so they found that the members of the Goguryeo royal family, who were three times larger than the Han army, were actually clamoring to go out of the city to give the Han army a head-on attack. In fact, what they didn't know was that the Liaodong Army still had 6,000 cavalry far behind these 4,000 soldiers and horses. When he arrived at a land ten miles away from Goguryeo, Xi Zhicai ordered the whole army to set up camp and sent Zhang He to challenge.

There is only one purpose of the challenge, and it is only necessary to defeat and not win. Fortunately, Zhang He is a qualified actor, and when he challenges the fighters, he always dodges fatal attacks in a thrilling way. Dozens of rounds later, Zhang He pretended to be defeated and fled. The Han army that night to prepare for the attack on the camp did not wait for the army of the Goguryeo people, which made Xi Zhicai angry and laughing, angry that the prepared things were not used, and laughing because the Goguryeo people were so ignorant of soldiers.

On the second day, Xi Zhicai personally led the army to the city to challenge, and Zhang He once again played the role of a defeated general, and completed Xi Zhicai's arrangement excellently. The two battles were about to fail, and the Goguryeo people were very angry, and they were so carried away that they thought that the Han army would come to cover up. However, as soon as the Han army engaged, they retreated towards the camp, and the number of blades and armor discarded on the way to retreat made the charging Goguryeo people rush frantically regardless of the formation.

On the way to retreat, Xi Zhi had a full view of everything in front of him, and the lure of the enemy was already half successful. On the night of the second day, the Han army retreated ten miles back to the village overnight, and the news of this news was transmitted back to make the excitement of the entire Goguryeo people overflowing. No wonder the Xianbei people can always go deep into the Han Dynasty, it turns out that the current Han army does not have the combat power of such a strong man.

The Goguryeo people were not without wise men, and they directly admonished that this was a plan by the Han army to lure the enemy, but many members of the royal family actively asked for their lives to fight again in order to compete for merit. However, on the third day, the Goguryeo people waited for the news of the retreat of the Han army. In order to confirm the credibility of this news, the scouts inspected two abandoned Han military camps one after another, and found that the number of stoves used by the Han army had decreased significantly.
