Five miles west of the new city, Huang Can looked at the small city in front of him with some hatred. He was ordered by the King of Qin to command an army of 30,000 out of Nanyang County, with the purpose of diverting Korea's attention to the south of the river.

For this, Huang Can is very confident to do it. But he has lived in Nanyang County for a long time and knows that this is his rare opportunity to lead and make meritorious contributions. That's not a big deal if that's just done. Only by defeating the Han army that is several times larger than oneself, or capturing several cities, can it be regarded as a great achievement, can it attract the attention of the King of Qin, and can it be promoted! Unexpectedly, along the way, all the cities in South Korea were closed and refused to fight.

Although he has built several small towns himself, either the strategic location is not important, or the population is pitiful. Only then did he turn his goal to the new city. The new city is located on the bank of Yishui, a hundred miles down the river is the important town of Yique, and a hundred miles to the north is the important town of Yiyang, which is the place where the soldiers fought four times. However, compared with Yique and Yiyang, the new city is much inferior to the two cities in terms of population and the number of defenders. Therefore, in Huang Can's opinion, the odds of winning a new city garrisoned by 6,000 Korean troops with 30,000 Qin soldiers are still quite large.

But things turned out to be surprising, and Xincheng became more and more solid under its own onslaught, except for the crumbling at the beginning. And from time to time, there are people dressed as county orders to inspect the city defense, and the people are also enthusiastic, and they can be seen busy everywhere on the city wall.

"General, the unity of the military and the people in this new city is not easy to fight with the city. Why don't you step back and step down? Anyway, the king ordered us to contain the Korean army, and the main force of the Korean army did not dare to send a single soldier out of the city, so our goal was achieved. Adjutant General Wei Bang said.

Wei Bang's statement is good, since Xinzheng is difficult to overcome, it is useless to continue to consume each other like this. In addition to increasing the number of casualties on both sides, consuming each other's rations is to increase the confidence of the other side, and some of the gains outweigh the losses! Wei Bang's proposal to withdraw from the army was just to give the main general a step, after all, it was the main general's idea to attack Xincheng at that time, and it was a little difficult for him to wipe his face and give up his decision!

"What are the casualties of our army in the past few days? How many Korean troops are there? Huang Can did not respond to the adjutant general's Jian Yì, but only asked about the battle damage of the enemy and us.

Wei Bang was stunned for a moment, but still replied truthfully: "Our army has more than 5,000 casualties, and the Korean army is a little less, but it should be close to 3,000." ”

"Hmm!" Huang Can dragged his chin with his hand, as if weighing something, and after a while, Huang Can opened his mouth and said: "In this way, give me another day, if you can't beat Xincheng after one day, we will retreat!" ”

"Whoa!" Wei Violent went down to announce the order with interest.

The new city government and the county magistrate Xun are receiving the prince and his party who came to help. Two days ago, Prince Ran saw Xun Qian's distress letter in Yique. The prince immediately made a decision and led an army of 30,000 to rush to the aid of Xincheng. Fortunately, although Xun is a scholar, he knows the current affairs, knows how to advance and retreat, and he is not panicked when he suddenly encounters the siege of the Qin army. On the contrary, the whole city was mobilized to have money and strength, and launched a national war of resistance. However, the effect was excellent, and the Qin army once wanted to dig a tunnel to attack the city, but it was discovered and stopped by the careful people of Xincheng.

"Xun County Order, I haven't seen you for a few months, you look good!" When the prince met, he made a joke.

When he first saw Xun's situation, although he talked eloquently, looking confident and slow, he had a feeling that he would not meet his ambitions. Looking at it now, although Xun Guo looked tired, his eyes were shining and bright, and he must be doing well.

The prince laughed! At the beginning, I had ambitions, but I couldn't show them. It was the prince who gave me this opportunity to live up to my ideals. Do you dare to fight to the death?! Xun Qian leaned down and made a gesture.

"Then the Xun County Order can have gains, what do you get?" Prince Ran asked curiously.

"I can only say that I have some experience, but I can't say that I have a complete understanding!" Xun replied.

At the beginning, he debated with the prince and talked about the way to govern the country. The way of the overlord of the prince is quite deafening, and he is ashamed to hear it. The prince recommended himself as the new city order, and he did not want to use his own hands to pursue the way of Hengchang of the country. When he really started to govern the new city, all kinds of things that were contrary to his previous ideas were one after another. Governing the country is indeed not as simple as I imagined.

"I want to hear about it!" The prince bowed his head and said.

"Lao Tzu has clouds, if you govern a big country, you can't cook small fresh, you can't go too far. This new city is like a dish, with all kinds of condiments, some spicy, some sweet, and some bitter. The people are good and bad, the talented may not be honest, and the loyal may not be the pillars. If according to my previous standards, everyone is perfect, especially in the selection of officials, I would rather choose people with mediocre duties than talented people who are cheating and cheating, the country will be difficult to govern! Xun sighed.

When I first came to Xincheng, the entire official office was full of traitors and criminals, and there were very few loyal and virtuous people. But without them, the whole government would not be able to function at all. I wanted to use them as a transition, but later I found out that there were very few people who could replace these traitors.

"When did Xun Xianling start reading the Taoist Tao Te Ching? Hehe, everyone is good is the ideal of Confucian rule in the world. However, this is not an overnight effort, Guan Zhong has a word, Cang Liao knows etiquette, and he knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing. Now there is a lot of fighting everywhere, the people are not living, and there is a long way to go to educate the people! In my opinion, since anyone lives in this era, there must be a reason for his existence. Straight trees can be used as beams, and crooked branches can be used as axe handles or firewood, and everyone has a use. As long as they find the position they should be in and let them shine in this position, it will be a successful governance. The crown prince nodded and sighed.

Xun Guo wanted to speak again and again, maybe he hadn't deeply comprehended the truth in it! So he turned the topic to the battle in front of him and said: "Prince, the 100,000 troops of the Qin State have broken through Shaanxi County and Xuncheng, and crossed the river in the north. Now the troops are stationed under the city of Anyi and confront the Wei army. Chen always felt that there was some conspiracy here, you know, the Zhao army of Hexi County had already gone south to support the Wei army, and the Qin army was afraid that it would be difficult to bargain. Will the Qin army attack the east and the west, after all, the Qin State still has an army of six or seven hundred thousand, plus the 30,000 soldiers and horses dispatched by Nanyang County, and now it is only 130,000 troops. If the Qin State sends more than 100,000 troops to break through to Yiyang, my country is afraid that it will be a great disadvantage! The minister dared to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to move troops to Yiyang quickly, and there were ministers in the new city, and it would be impregnable. ”

Xun County made this statement somewhat possible. I also think that the Qin State wants to cover up, but I have ordered Yiyang to take strict precautions. Now let's help you solve the siege of the new city first! It's all here, you can't let me go home empty-handed, can you? The prince said with a smile.

Xun did a really good job, with a mere new city to resist 30,000 Qin troops, and the other party could lose 5,000. Now that he can still analyze the current situation, it can be seen that Xun is also a person who knows the soldiers. Unlike those old masters in later generations, those who are full of mouths are also saints and saints all day long, vainly trying to use the advantage of their tongues to make the enemy country withdraw and stop the war.

Xun Jing thought about it and could only respond. Now that the Qin army only has 25,000 soldiers and horses left, presumably tomorrow after discovering that they already have reinforcements, they will know the difficulty and retreat!

Thanks to the lark's Qingming tip, there will be a more later! Chapter 100! go!
