Xingyang, there is a chasm in the east to connect the Huai River and Surabaya, the north is adjacent to the Yellow River in the north of the Pi Mountain, the south is adjacent to the Suohe River and the Song Mountain, and the west passes the Tiger Prison Pass to connect Luoyang and Chang'an, the terrain is dangerous, the transportation is convenient, and it is an important place for county governance in history.

In 221 BC, after Qin Shi Huang unified the whole country and established the Qin Dynasty, Sanchuan County was set up in Xingyang, with jurisdiction over Xingyang, Gong, Jing and other counties; In the Western Han Dynasty, Sanchuan County was changed to Henan County, with jurisdiction over Xingyang, Chenggao (now Xingyang Bishui Town), Gushi (now northwest of Zhengzhou), Mi County, Zhongmu, Xinzheng, Yuanling and other counties.

Now at the end of the Han Dynasty, the position of Xingyang is no less important than before, and it is also a must for soldiers.

Now in Xingyang, Dong Zhuo's army is guarded by Dong Zhuo's subordinate Xiliang veteran, Yingyang Captain (Dong Zhuo is added after Xiangguo) Yang Feng and Dong Zhuo's nephew Dong Huang, and Xu Huang, who has been entangled by Lu Bu once, is serving as a military Sima under Yang Feng at this time.

The defenders are dominated by Yang Feng, and Dong Huang is the supervising army, in fact, Dong Zhuo is really interesting enough for his nephew, and he is promoted and reused for him, and he is supported in many ways, so that he can follow Yang Feng's side, which is also a meaning of experience, but it is not all spoiled.

Dong Huang may not be very competitive, but at least he will not let Dong Zhuo worry like Dong Min, and he will be safe under Yang Feng's hands.

However, after hearing that the army of the 500,000 Dong Alliance set off from Chenliu, all the way through Kaifeng, Zhongmu, and Guancheng to Jingxian, and was approaching Xingyang, he couldn't help but be frightened and hurriedly ran to find Yang Feng.

Yang Feng looked very calm, sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, so that Dong Huang didn't feel a little admired, and secretly ashamed in his heart, he was too unstable, and he hurriedly panicked when he encountered something, looking at General Yang Feng, this is the real general demeanor.

After taking a sip of the wine that Yang ordered to come over to moisten his throat, Dong Huang said: "General Yang, the coalition forces over there are about to fight, what should we do, how should we prepare?" ”

"Why should I prepare?" Yang Feng's question made Dong Huang stunned, and subconsciously replied: "The enemy's army is pressing the border, and it is likely to attack the city fiercely, if we don't prepare early, how can we meet the enemy?" ”

Yang Feng didn't answer Dong Huang's question, and instead asked, "What does Dong Tinghou think of Xingyang's city defense?" ”

Dong Huang is also one of Dong Zhuo's relatives who was named a marquis, although he is only a pavilion marquis, but after all, he is still young, and he is still very promising in the future, of course, the premise is that his uncle Dong Zhuo can always control the power like this.

And Dong Huang's position as the supervisor of the army is also a void, he doesn't understand anything, and he can't put on any show in front of Yang Feng, a veteran under Dong Zhuo, so Yang Feng usually only calls him Tinghou, but he is also willing.

After listening to Yang Feng's words, although Dong Huang didn't understand what he meant, he also replied: "Xingyang has abundant armament reserves, sufficient materials, and sharp soldiers......

Yang Feng continued: "...... The morale is high, my Xiliang army is the best in the world, who are you afraid of? If the coalition forces don't come, if they do, they will try to gnaw hard bones! ”

Dong Huang was still a little stunned, he didn't seem to react too much, Yang Feng didn't mind, but said with a smile: "So, Dong Tinghou doesn't have to panic, let him really have those 500,000 in the coalition army, and don't want to attack my Xingyang!" ”

"However, Xiangguo has an order, this time I listened to the orders of the military advisor, and the military advisor didn't let us ......" The military advisor Dong Huang said was Li Ru, this time Li Rubai was sacrificing wine and supervising the army for the military advisor, and he was rushing to the front line, and he had already sent a message to them to guard Xingyang City, in fact, maybe he had already expected something, so he simply didn't even have some meaningless measures.

"Will the foreign monarch be disregarded......" Yang Feng interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and then said with a smile: "What's more, it's a military advisor?" ”

Seeing Yang Feng so reckless, Dong Huang didn't know what to say, so he could only smile helplessly and nod yes, but his eyes were rolling, and he didn't know what he was thinking......

At the same time, the coalition side is also worried about the problem of Xingyang.

However, unlike the Xingyang defenders, the Xingyang defenders looked at the defense, and they considered how to attack.

The walls of Xingyang City are high and thick, and the surrounding terrain is quite complicated, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is not good news for the coalition forces.

The morale of the coalition army is now sharp, and it seems to be unstoppable, but only they know that the march of the coalition army brings great pressure to the opponent at the same time, but also brings a big problem to themselves, the longer the march, the longer the supply line, the greater the burden on logistics, and the food of the coalition army naturally cannot be solved only by Chen Liuzhang Miao, even if he really has that idea, he does not have that strength, and all the way to Guancheng, Jingxian does not have too much grain stock, but now it is still spring, it is the time to sow seeds, Excessive grain requisition is also a huge test for the people's hearts, and the alliance army under the banner of justice on the side of the Qing monarch also has to take this into account, after all, if Dong Zhuo is defeated, then these places in the past now are likely to belong to one of them in the future, as for the emperor - sorry, wait until you enter Luoyang and then think about his villain's family. …,

That is, because of such and such problems, in front of Xingyang City, it has brought a new problem to the princes, there is no way to not have enough food, there must be food in Xingyang City, the problem is still in the hands of the enemy, so the only solution at present is to capture Xingyang as much as possible, in addition to solving the food problem, of course, it is necessary to maintain the current vigor of your own army can not be lost, otherwise it will cause another new trouble.

It's just that as the premise of this qiē, it is not a simple matter to break through Xingyang City, not to mention whether it can be broken or not, how much price will it take, and who will bear it? And even if it is broken through, if it can't be grabbed before the defenders inside take it away or even burn the food, then even if Xingyang City is captured, it will only be an empty city in the substantive sense, and when the time comes, not to mention that it will be necessary to supply their military rations, it will be enough for them to have a headache.

Therefore, when Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance, raised the tent to summon everyone to come to discuss the military situation, and then asked the question of the attack on Xingyang City, there was a rare silence in the tent, and the princes did not know what to say.

Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Liu Dai, Zhang Miao and others in turn, some of them were expressionless, some were calm and contemplative, some were crying and laughing, and some were relaxed, in short, they had their own expressions and moods.

Yuan Shao suddenly smiled mysteriously and said: "If you can't think about it, then Shao will rob the jackpot." It's not a secret, in fact, Shao was already in Xingyang City, there was an internal response, which was actually left by Uncle Shao's uncle, but it was a pity that he ...... "Speaking and talking, there was inevitably a little sentimentality between the words, everyone knew what happened in the Yuan Mansion, of course, Dong Zhuo released the news that the Yuan Mansion was plotting to rebel, and his family was worried about the East Window incident, although this was a fake land, but it sounded in the ears of the princes, it became Dong Zhuo's means to whitewash the peace, and on the other hand, the Yuan family's status in the hearts of the loyal Han righteous people rose sharply, For Yuan Shao and others, it can be described as an "unexpected joy".

At this moment, the handsome tent was stirred, and a personal soldier under Yuan Shao came in quickly, and after the report, Yuan Shao walked up to him with the permission of Yuan Shao, and leaned into his ear to say this and that.

After he finished speaking, Yuan Shao sighed with his palms, and then laughed loudly at everyone sitting down: "Okay, the inner Ying in the city has already sent the news, and as soon as it is ready, let's wait to break Xingyang and advance all the way to Luoyang......

As he spoke, he had already stood up, held his chest high, quite high-spirited, pointed his sword to the west, and shouted: "When the sky is bright, it is the time when the city is broken!" ”

"When the day dawns, when the city is broken......"

Seeing Yuan Shao's arrogance, although the specific situation was not yet known, the princes and soldiers naturally became excited, seeing that everyone was mobilized by himself, Yuan Shao smiled knowingly, and the corners of his eyes were full of light, but they were strangely unpredictable......
