Chapter 381: Counterattack 1
"Governor, there are already bad rumors in the city now!"
Feng Meng put down the brush in his hand, looked at his words, and said, "What rumors?" β
Wang Fang said softly: "It is rumored among the people that the turmoil in Youzhou was planned by the imperial court and done by the governor. The imperial court framed Zhongliang, and the governor was ...... It's an accomplice, an executioner. The Xiaoguo army regained the lost territory for the country and fought abroad, while the imperial court and the governor stabbed them in the back......"
"Smack!" Feng Meng threw out the brush that he had just picked up and continued to write.
"I knew that doing this kind of thing would end like this! Fuck, I knew I was sick and pushed it off. Feng Meng said angrily, he, Feng Meng, was not prepared to leave a stench for 10,000 years. Although he was a military attachΓ©, he was very fond of calligraphy. I want to be a loyal minister, an upright minister. Unexpectedly, now he has slowly become a villain, an executioner.
"What now?"
"What to do? What else can I do! It's already at this point, and I can't get out at all. β
"Report! Governor, the big thing is not good, Bohai Mansion and Hejian Mansion have tens of thousands of Xiaoguo troops killed, and everywhere they go, the people open the city to welcome each other. The two armies of the Xiaoguo Army bluntly said that they wanted to write to the capital to discuss the law from the governor and go to Luoyang to ask the court for the explanation. β
"What? What did you say? Feng Meng asked in amazement, he thought he had heard it wrong, how could it be possible that the Xiaoguo Army had entered the empty land of the two mansions?
"Governor, Bohai Mansion and Hejian Mansion have been captured by the Xiaoguo army without blood, and they are coming to the south, saying that they want to ask you for an explanation." The Messenger said it all over again.
Feng Meng suddenly laughed and said, "You said that the Xiaoguo army captured Bohai Mansion and Hejian Mansion? This can't be, where did you come from, babbling nonsense or something. β
The messenger said urgently: "The small one is the messenger of Zhaozhou Mansion, and now the Xiaoguo army has reached the border of Zhaozhou Mansion, and the small one is ordered by the commander to ask the governor for help." As he spoke, he pulled out a letter.
Feng Meng couldn't laugh anymore, and hurriedly read the letter, and his face suddenly turned pale.
"Governor!" Wang Fang whispered over and over again.
Feng Meng came to his senses and said, "You go down and rest first!" β
"Governor, what's the situation?" Wang Fang asked urgently.
"What's the situation, we have all been played by the Xiaoguo army, where are the Hengzhou Mansion and Yuyang Mansion in Youzhou to withdraw the army to quell the rebellion, it is clearly just to lure my army to attack. After our 20,000 troops went north, more than 50,000 troops from the two prefectures of Youzhou went south, and the troops were divided into two routes, going down the Bohai Mansion and Hejian Mansion. Now, Bohai and Cangzhou have fallen. The Xiaoguo army is attacking Cangzhou Mansion and Zhaozhou Mansion, and it is estimated that these two mansions will not last long. Feng Meng smiled bitterly.
"What? How can it be? The land of the two provinces collapsed in less than three days? Wang Fang said in surprise.
"Didn't you also say that the two prefectures have concentrated all the government troops of the five northern prefectures, where are the defenders? It is easy for the Xiaoguo army to go south, and this is all the result of our cooperation. Feng Meng's face turned pale. After doing it for a long time, I finally got trapped.
"It's that there is no government army, but there are not a few of those big clans who have private army slaves, so why don't the local officials know how to let them help?"
"The big clans and the wang clans have private army and domestic slaves, but the people everywhere are a hundred or a thousand times more than them. The Xiaoguo army had already mobilized them, and everywhere they went, the city gates were opened. Distribute the fields, exempt from taxes, and even more so this time, for the big clans, the wang clans, and those with bad reputations, kill! The rest of the innocent people were relocated to the three eastern provinces. If this continues, there will basically be no resistance wherever the Xiaoguo army goes. At the same time, the Xiaoguo army left soldiers and recruited people as soldiers, and all the young and strong people everywhere responded! Speaking of this, Feng Meng also sighed secretly. The Xiaoguo Army had such an appeal and such a prestige in the hearts of the people, Feng Meng was impressed.
"Ah...... This...... What to do? Either let the 20,000 horses who entered Youzhou immediately withdraw their troops and fight back at the rear of the Xiaoguo army, or cut off the ......"
"Since the Xiaoguo army dares to go south to Jizhou, they are not afraid of these 20,000 soldiers, maybe they have been wiped out or besieged by the Xiaoguo army." Feng Meng said slowly.
"Governor! What do we do now? The government army drawn from the south can't keep up, and even if they come, they can't compete with tens of thousands of Xiaoguo troops! Lin Changshi also frowned and said.
"Haha...... Whatever? Lin Changshi, let's report the situation here to the imperial court. Didn't the Xiaoguo Army come to ask the court for an explanation, what are we worried about? Let the government troops of the four central provinces stick to their own provinces, and the government troops of the four southern provinces will go north to the central part of the country to garrison. Feng Meng sneered.
"Here's ...... Whatever? Wang Fang said in surprise.
"Tube? How? We don't have any soldiers, so what can we do? Xiao Guojun said that they wanted to come here to ask me for an explanation, which means that they want to occupy Xindu Mansion and take a fancy to the five northern prefectures of Jizhou, what else can we do? Isn't the imperial court going to expel the Xiaoguo army? Then let them pack up, and Pontus will not wait! β
Yuyang Province, Xin'an City.
Yang You stood on top of the city gate, staring in amazement at the ditch that appeared overnight outside the city, and within three days, it had become a ditch around the city, several meters wide. On the first day, there was only a three-meter ditch around the city, and after three days, there was a seven- or eight-meter ditch around the city.
Sin'an Fortress is not big, and it is not very strong. After the Zuowu Guards entered Yuyang Mansion, they were attacked by the rangers of the Xiaoguo Army, and finally chased them until dark, chased them to Xin'an City, and finally settled in Xin'an City. Although there were no people in Xin'an City that night, Yang You didn't care. In his opinion, it is too normal for people to flee when the army is in disaster. At night, the sentinels found a noise outside the city, but he still didn't care, and how many of the Xiaoguo army dared to fight with him?
As a result, on the morning of the second day, five or six thousand cavalry and tens of thousands of civilians were digging pits outside the city, constantly widening the ditch around the city. On the third day, there were only more than 1,000 cavalry of the Xiaoguo army outside the city, but the trench became a ditch, and the water of the Shuhe River was introduced inside.
Suddenly, there is an extra moat outside Xin'an City, and it is very wide, so it looks like Xin'an City is like an isolated island.
Yang You is a little dumbfounded now, there are no people in the city, and there is no food, although some people have food at home that has not been taken, but it is not enough for 10,000 people to use it for a long time. In the empty town, more than 10,000 people were trapped inside.
Outside the city, there are more than 1,000 people who are constantly training young and strong, just under the public. And if Yang You wants to kill it, it is simply too difficult, and there is only one way to cross the water. Tens of thousands of people outside the city are like monkeys, and they are checked every day. The people of the city built dwellings outside the city, planted farms there, and formed villages. Most of the people from other places came to train and assist the Xiaoguo army in defeating the invaders.
Zhaozhou Mansion, the Houfu Army of the Xiaoguo Army finally entered this place, and similarly, it was welcomed by the people of Zhaozhou Mansion, and there were no soldiers in the 145th and 5th counties of the prefecture to stop it, and no one dared to stop it.
After entering Youzhou, after ruling Youzhou, the Xiaoguo army and the people did not commit any crimes, and they lightly paid for the meager endowment, distributed the fields, and treated the people very generously, in the eyes of the people, Zhao Xun is the king of benevolence and righteousness, and the Xiaoguo army is the teacher of benevolence and righteousness. This impression spread throughout the Central Plains along with the merchants who came and went.
The governor of Jizhou went to launch a rebellion in Youzhou when Zhao Xun recovered the three eastern provinces, and for a while, the people of Jizhou all scolded bitterly. Now that the Xiaoguo army has quelled the civil strife and gone south to Jizhou, the people have welcomed each other wherever they go, and moreover, the Xiaoguo army has entered the land of Jizhou and implemented new policies in these state capitals, how can the people not welcome it?
Seeing the successive losses of the cities under their rule, the Governor of Zhaozhou Mansion and the Assassin Shi looked at each other, and they were extremely helpless, so they had to go out of the city and surrender, because they were also the commanders of the light pole, and no one could stop them. Besides, they also have a good impression of the Xiaoguo Army,
Zhaozhou Mansion was taken after five days, and Cangzhou Mansion was also taken at the same time, and after the two armies met, they marched towards the final destination, Xindu Mansion.
The capture of Bohai Mansion and Cangzhou Mansion means that the Xiaoguo Army has contact with Qingzhou and will no longer be subject to Jizhou. When the Qingzhou Mansion Army saw the Xiaoguo Army appear in Bohai Mansion and Cangzhou Mansion, they only held on to their own territory, and had no intention of crossing the line and attacking. In their words, they are not as stupid as the Jizhou Army, and they are going to fight hard with the Xiaoguo Army. The Xiaoguo Army and the Qingzhou Army also did not interfere with each other, and even sent people to the Qingzhou border to buy grain, and the Qingzhou government did not allow it. If Feng Meng knew this, his ironclad face would be as pale as earth.
