Xu Chu and the three returned to Liaokou, and after paying the order, they all sighed when they talked about Zhao Yun.

Cao Cao was also quite emotional when he heard this, this Zhao Yun did three of himself alone, it is really not worse than Lu Bu, you must know that Xu Chu, Li Dian and Xiahoudun are all fierce generals, and their force values are more than 94.

"If this person votes for the court, it is our blessing, so that many brothers can die less. The order was sent down, and the army repaired for two days, and then attacked Houcheng! ”

Cao Cao said.

"Yes!"

......

Two days later, Cao Cao divided his troops again, and he ordered Xu Chu, Li Dian, and Xiahoudun to continue to lead his troops to attack Liaoyang, Houcheng and other important towns in Liaodong, while he himself once again led the fleet to find the shortest attack route from Yijing according to a map given to him by Ming Jian.

If you want to destroy Gongsun Zhan, you have to end his old nest Yi Jing, and the route of attack from the sea is also Cao Cao's decision to do so after some consideration.

After sailing for a few days, the fleet arrived at a small fishing village, combined with the map, Cao Cao smiled and said: "This is this place, attacking Yijing from here, it is great, it is just a flat river." The order went down, and after the army docked, it repaired for a day, and then launched an attack on Yijing! ”

This small fishing village was marked with the word "Jinmen" on the map, and Cao Cao also asked Ming Jian what it meant at that time, and Ming Jian smiled but did not say anything. And from here, it is very close to attack Jixian, Yuyang, Yijing and other places.

Gongsun Zhan's army attacked Liaodong, and there were certainly not many men and horses left in his lair, and it was faster to return from land than Gongsun Zhan by water.

So a day later, when the Han army suddenly appeared under Yi Jingcheng, Yi Jing's guard Gongsun Xu was taken aback!

Although the city was tall, the Han army suddenly launched an attack and soon broke through the gate of Yijing City, and the Han army swarmed in and quickly occupied Yijing, and all the relatives of Gongsun Chan did not run away, and the money and grain were also occupied by the Han army.

After occupying Yijing, Cao Cao quickly sent troops to attack Jixian and Yuyang, and in order to destroy the withering and decaying momentum, he took these two cities in less than ten days, and firmly controlled the center of Youzhou in his hands.

After receiving Cao Cao's good news, Ming Jian laughed.

"Haha, now Gongsun Zhan's days can't last long, Meng De's actions this time are too fast, it seems that it is still fast to attack from the sea, and from Jinmen, where can Gongsun Chan prevent it?"

The ministers are also very happy, taking Youzhou is in sight, once you take Youzhou, then the territory of the imperial court will be larger, and it will form an encirclement situation for Jizhou and Jizhou, once you take and Jizhou, the glory of the Han Dynasty will shine on the land of China, and the other princes will not be afraid.

"Your Majesty, since this is the case, you can quickly send Xiahou Yuan to cooperate with Cao Shangshu and quickly pacify the counties of Youzhou, Gongsun Chan will definitely find it difficult to react!"

Guo Jia immediately spoke.

Ming Jian nodded and said, "Yes, Xiahou Yuan has trained a lot of cavalry over the years, it's time to fight a blitzkrieg!" Decree: Order Xiahou Yuan to lead the Qingzhou Iron Cavalry out of Bohai County and take the counties of Youzhou directly! ”

Xu Shu, the squire of the military department, hurriedly said: "Obey the order." ”

This Xu Shu succeeded Liu Bei, who ran to Jingzhou, as the squire of the military department, and it was his task to arrange the war.

Guo Jia said again: "Your Majesty, if Youzhou changes, Yuan Shao of Jizhou will inevitably react, and he needs to be guarded against." ”

Ming Jian smiled: "What countermeasures does Feng Xiao have?" ”

Guo Jia said: "Your Majesty, Yuan Shao has always boasted of being extraordinary, if he can be induced to send troops, we may not be able to kill two birds with one stone, so, you can order the generals of Lizhou and Yuzhou to prepare, this time a big game of chess, once Yuan Shao's main force is mobilized by our chess pieces, let the generals immediately attack Jizhou and Merge Zhou." As for the chess pieces, it is naturally General Xiahou Yuan, who can order him to leave loopholes to induce Yuan Shao to send troops after ordering the counties of Youzhou, so that the big thing can be decided! ”

Guo Jia's wishful thinking is naturally based on Yuan Shao's greed, in order to compete for the world, Yuan Shao also needs to expand his territory, Youzhou is what he has already prescribed, and now the imperial court suddenly sends troops, which will definitely disrupt Yuan Shao's deployment.

Once there is a loophole, Yuan Shao will inevitably get in, and at this moment, the imperial court can bloom more, and if it is done well, Yuan Shao may also be killed.

"Hahahaha, Feng Xiao sings well, Yuan Shaobing has many generals, and there are many strategists under him, which is really a big trouble for the imperial court. This time, the plan needs to be opened and closed, so that Yuan Shao can drill into it with confidence, so I have decided to conquer Youzhou again, in this way, Yuan Shao will inevitably find ways to deal with me, Feng Xiao, you are in command as a military advisor, if you can succeed this time, then the imperial court can lay the Central Plains and Northern Xinjiang in one fell swoop! ”

Ming Jian took the case and decided to go on the expedition again.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The ministers said in unison.

After arranging the affairs of the imperial court, Ming Jian immediately ordered Xiahou Yuan to be the vanguard, starting from Bohai County and marching to the counties of Youzhou.

Ming Jian led the Chinese army by himself, and then rushed to Youzhou.

The Han army advanced very fast, and the cavalry under Xiahou Yuan was very fast, and these cavalry were configured according to the equipment of the Beiwei army, and each cavalry could be one as ten.

Therefore, everywhere he goes, he is invincible, and he can capture several cities in almost a day.

Soon, Xiahou Yuan had already attacked Zhuo County.

And Youzhou Thorn Shi Tian Chou took the opportunity to issue a document to the counties in Jixian County, announcing the ten charges of Gongsun Zhan, so that the counties gave up resistance and returned to the arms of the imperial court.

Under such an offensive, the speed of the counties of Youzhou against the water was amazing, except for a few diehards of Gongsun Zhan, most of them surrendered, and the Han army poured through the entire territory of Youzhou like a tide, and quickly sorted out Youzhou.

Seeing that the army was besieging the city and the morale in the city was low, Sun Fan, the Taishou of Zhuo County, quietly dressed up in disguise, escaped from Zhuo County, and went to Beitou Gongsun Zhan.

The imperial army was bloodless and took Zhuo County.

The counties of Youzhou quickly fell into the hands of the imperial court, and when the news reached Houcheng, Gongsun Zhan screamed, vomited a basin of blood, and fainted.

When he woke up, he only heard a long sigh: "Hey, it's a big deal!" Why did the Han army move so fast? Why? ”

Yan Gang said: "Lord, take care of your body, now that our retreat has been dug up, we can't advance or retreat, it's better to go to Goguryeo, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood." ”

Gongsun Chan sighed: "A certain Han person, what are you doing in Goguryeo?" If you want to die, you have to die in the land of China. Pass the order to go down, strengthen the walls of Houcheng, and when the enemy arrives, fight a decisive battle with him, if he wins, he can still do it, if he loses, we will live and die with Houcheng! ”

Yan Gang and the others showed a look of despair, Gongsun Zhan's words were already showing his mortal heart, how could this small Hou City resist the attack of the Han army?

"My lord, let's retreat to Goguryeo, right? There is a sea surrounding, and the Han army is beyond the reach of the whip. Yan Gang persuaded again.

Gongsun Chan waved his hand and motioned for everyone to stand back.

Within a few days, the Han army was under the city of Houcheng, the battle was very fierce, and under the desperate resistance, Gongsun Zhan's subordinates could still play a very classic city defense battle, and even once killed out of Houcheng, and the Han army was inseparable.

However, with the arrival of reinforcements from the Han army, Gongsun Chan gradually couldn't resist, and he shrank in the inner city and continued to resist.
