It was Xunzhi's attack on Liaodong, not a temporary idea, as early as when he became the assassin of Youzhou, he began to plan, for which he called Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi many times to come to study, and specially wrote a letter to ask Zhuojun Taishou, who was also a strategic expert. The reply of the frustrated teacher was: "The former prime minister came out of Baitan, and arrived at Liucheng through Pinggang, the road is far away and difficult to travel, and it is ...... not to follow the law."

The implication is that even Cao Cao trembled when he walked that way, and after he returned, he also rewarded the people who admonished him that day.

“…… When the teacher avoids the summer and autumn rainy season, he still follows the coast and goes straight to Yangle, which can hook up with Karasuma, a subject country of Liaodong, and force Liaoshui directly. Gongsun will be in battle according to the Liaoshui, and I will deal with me, and the victory or defeat after that will not be known by the best. "Before the strategic transfer to Liaoshui, I can still help you come up with some ideas, you really have to wait for the battle across the water, win or lose, even if you plan in advance, there is no point, you have to make arrangements according to the actual situation.

The opinions of Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and others are also similar to those of Fu Zhu. Not only that, these people are all conjectures in the air, hypothetical castles in the air, but Yeshun has a past...... You can refer to it later. In the original history, Sima Yi invaded Liaodong, with 40,000 people, and the Liaodong army was almost unable to resist, so it can be seen that as long as it is unexpected, Liaodong can really quickly assemble and pull out to fight positional warfare, and there are only 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses who reach the sky - that is still the era of Gongsun Yuan, in terms of territory and strength, I am afraid it is stronger than today's Gongsun Du. In that battle, Sima Yi waved his army and advanced rapidly, and the Liaodong Army was rejected by Liaosui under the command of Beiyan and Yang Zuo, that is, southwest of Xiangping and on the east bank of Liaoshui. then it must defend against the enemy according to the water. Its momentum is also one. But Sima Yi refused to collide with the main force of the Liaodong Army. Pretending to go south in order to mobilize the enemy's army, he actually went north to swim through the Liaoshui River and take Xiangping directly, forcing Bei Yan and Yang Zuo to turn around and return to help, that is, they were destroyed at Shoushan......

Well, I'm doing the same thing.

It's Hoon's biggest regret. It was originally planned to summon Fu Zhi to join the army as a staff officer, but Fu Zifu opposed the hasty dispatch of troops, and resolutely refused to follow under the pretext of illness. Yes Xun had no choice, so he had to let Zhuge Liang and Yan Rou be staff officers - but fortunately, it is estimated that there are no strong people in Liaodong, Liu Yi, whose intelligence can barely reach 70, is far away in Lelang, and Xiao Ji and the Gongsun family are not of the same mind, and their own team is theoretically enough.

So he personally led the army to leave Jixian County and first arrived at Xu Wu. took Xu Wuling Tian Chou as a guide, and then went to Lu Long, the subordinate state administration of Beiping, the old Guzhu City, to meet with the forbidden department. The next stop is Linyu. Then there is a long and barbaric road of more than 500 miles.

From Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province, to Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province, which is the so-called "Liaoning West Corridor", the north is hilly, the south is bordered by the seashore, and there is only one in the middle. What Xun was most worried about was that the Liaodong army would preemptively occupy the important points on the way - for example, in places like Huludao - to prevent them from continuing to advance, and they would meet on a narrow road, and they would be a pass, and they would be afraid that it would be difficult for the army to enter. Therefore, this is also one of the reasons why he is in a hurry to send out the army - the people of Liaodong are not stupid, if they really have internal chaos because Gongsun Du hangs up, they will be worried that Youzhou will take advantage of the gap to attack, so it is likely to send troops in advance to plug its dangerous road.

Of course he didn't know, in fact, Gongsun Du was still holding a breath and didn't swallow it completely, so there was no chaos in Liaodong at all, so he couldn't imagine that Hongfu would be so bold and rashly come to attack. It was not until the advance of the Youzhou Army arrived at the foot of Yangle City that the news had just been reported to Xiangping, and the ruling Gongsun Kang was shocked when he heard the news, and urgently summoned Yangyi, Wang Jian and others to discuss countermeasures.

I think that although Cao Cao entered Liucheng with troops, he also knew that this small city was difficult to hold, as long as the army retreated, there was no foothold for more than 500 miles in the southeast, so he simply took all the Hu and Han people in the city away, and then destroyed the city. Therefore, this time the Youzhou army came, it could no longer use Liucheng as a front-line base, but must quickly capture Yangle in order to gain a foothold in the eastern part of Liaoxi, and then, as Fu Zhu said, contact Su Muyan, the king of Liaodong's vassal country, and stride to the territory of Liaodong.

Fortunately, because of the speed of the march, Yangle City was defenseless, so Yu Ban waved the vanguard army in front of the city gate, shouted casually twice, and the guards were so frightened that they surrendered. Two days later, Shi Xun led the Chinese army to arrive, and encouraged Yu Wenze, and at the same time breathed a big sigh of relief, saying in his heart that I have Yangle as the base, even if I can't win this battle, it won't be difficult to go back.

Although there are roads, the large wasteland between Linyu and Yangle is in disrepair, and the sea water is rolled up irregularly, making it difficult to transport materials. Therefore, Shixun walked all the way, and along the way, he divided his troops to set up barracks and military stations, and at the same time ordered Dian Wei and Shi Jun of the rear army to recruit and transfer people, and slowly move forward while repairing the road. Zhuge Liang ran to warn Shi Xun, saying that now the number of soldiers, auxiliaries and people in Yangle City has reached more than 30,000, and the inspection of the treasury is not full, and the grain and grass are estimated to be enough to eat for ten days.

Shi Xun was in a hurry at first, but after entering Yangle City, he calmed down, and said to Zhuge Liang with a smile, Don't worry, I have to send someone to contact Su Muyan first, and rest in the city for a few days, so as to wait for the follow-up grain and grass to be delivered.

The envoy sent to contact Su Muyan was Yan Rou, who was known as a prestige among the Hu people. Yan Rou presented Su Fuyan with ten brocade horses, and promised him a large number of weapons and supplies, asking him to gather troops and horses and take the lead in advancing to Liaoshui. Shixun himself rested in Yangle for six days in a row, until Yan Rou brought back good news, and then reorganized the army and directly took Changli County, the seat of the Liaodong vassal state.

Changli County is backed by Yushui, that is, the Daling River in later generations, as long as it breaks through Yushui, it will be considered to completely break away from the Liaoxi Corridor and enter the Liaohe River Plain.

Changli guarded the general, but led the army into Yangle that day, to resist Cao Cao's Han Zhong, according to intelligence, the defenders of more than 4,000 people, and most of them are old and weak. Shi Xun led the army to the city, and first sent people into the city to persuade Han Zhong to surrender, but unfortunately Han Zhong was average and loyal, and destroyed the book on the spot, expressing his willingness to live and die with the city.

It was Xun who took Zhuge Liang, Yan Rou and others to a high place. Observe the city defenses. But see the city is within a few miles. Although it is not large, the earthen wall is quite high, and there are not enough siege equipment, so I am afraid it will not be easy to take down. So he sent Zhuge Liang to cut down trees nearby, make attack tools, and beat drums to attack the city two days later.

Zhuge Liang does have the potential to be an inventor, and it is Xun's improved car that day, which has been processed by Zhuge Liang. It's easier to manufacture. This trip carried a lot of truck parts, but the throwing pole was too long, and the road was difficult to pass through the big car, so while walking, I was forced to throw them all on the road. Fortunately, there are a lot of dense forests around, and the giant trees are not difficult to find, Zhuge Liang hurriedly lived for two days and nights, and finally went back and forth with the eyes of the two pandas, and then lined up thirty huge cars in front of the city, and the rest of the cars, crashes, and ladders are innumerable.

Yes Hoon is quite proud. The heart said that the preparations before the siege of the ancient times, someone is better than me...... Oh. Is it faster than Kong Ming? When Han Zhong looked at the city, he was so shocked that even his liver was trembling. Han Zhong knew that relying on this small city of Changli, in front of the Youzhou army, which was several times his size, he would definitely not be able to defend for long, so as early as when Xun entered Yangle, he sent an urgent envoy to Xiangping to ask for help. But left and right, in the end, he only waited for Gongsun Kang's handwritten letter back, asking him to stick to the help-and as for this help, there is no trace of it yet.

Han Zhong is not stupid, he knows that if all the main forces of the Liaodong Army are transferred to attack with Shixun on the bank of the Daling River, the chances of victory will be difficult, and he may not be in a hurry. still put himself in Changli, instead of ordering the city to abandon the city and retreat, but in order to temporarily contain the Youzhou army, facilitate the rear to gather troops and horses, and prepare for positional warfare - he is actually an outcast! In desperation, he had to gather his subordinates and falsely claim that reinforcements were coming, in order to boost morale and morale - "I will wait but hold for ten days, and the reinforcements will arrive." "But can you keep it for ten days? He didn't know the bottom of his heart.

As a result, after only two days of waiting, the Youzhou army began to attack the city, first throwing mud bombs with huge trucks, which caused many breaches and crumbling in the west city wall - it was just a rammed earth wall, and the mud bombs were enough to deal with. Immediately rushed to the car and hit the door, the ladder built the wall, and the Youzhou army was surging under the command of Guo Huai, Sun Wen, Qin Yi and other generals. Han Zhong personally went to the city, supervised the soldiers to resist desperately, and suffered many wounds, and finally survived until dusk.

If it goes on like this, it is estimated that the city will be broken tomorrow, Han Zhong is in a hurry, and he has circled more than thirty circles on the city tower. Suddenly, a doorman approached and whispered: "The minister has a clever plan, you can temporarily retreat from the Youzhou army, so that you can stay for ten days." ”

Han Zhong took a look, it turned out to be Han Yao of the same clan, the word Yu. Han Yao's branch was actually far away from his home, and he once lived in Yuzhang, but because of the chaos in the Central Plains, he fled to Liaodong and attached himself to Han Zhong. This person is known for his resourcefulness, but his practical ability is not strong, and with Han Zhong's status, he wants talent rather than eloquence, so he just looks at his fellow clansmen, accepts him as a guest, and gives him a bite to eat.

At that moment, Han Yao was about to reveal the scheme, Han Zhong frowned and pondered, and asked for a long time: "Can the plan be sold?" Han Yao said with a smile: "Sun Ziyun: Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles." Set Kou as Cao Cao, the minister will not offer this plan, and God is fortunate to be Xun. He is a Confucian student, and it is best to make a name, but he can move his ears - please send the lord immediately. ”

Han Zhong didn't have any other ideas, and reported the idea of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and immediately waved his hand: "In this way, Zhiyu will be my envoy." Han Yao originally just wanted to give an idea, but he didn't expect this job to fall on his head, but looking left and right, he really couldn't pick a more suitable person, so it was convenient to take himself out, so in desperation, he had to promise with a bitter face.

So he went down to the city and tied up the Youzhou soldiers to see Shixun. When he saw him, he first strengthened his neck and protested: "The prince doesn't want to win Pingzhou? Why do you treat resourceful people like this? "It's Xun Xin who said who this person is, I haven't heard of it...... But he is so ashamed to speak, maybe he really has some ability, looking at his small arms and legs, he should not be an assassin. So he smiled, untied him, and asked, "Why is the gentleman here?" Could it be that the city wants to descend? ”

Han Yao moved his wrist, took out a seal box from his sleeve, presented it to Shi Xun, and said: "According to the law of Liaodong, if you keep it for ten days without help, you will not be as guilty as your wife and children after breaking the city." Now my lord's wives are all in Xiangping, if you attack in a hurry, you will only die. Please put it on hold, so that the army will rest and it will be surrendered in ten days. With the benevolence of the king, it is expected that it will be agreed, and its name will be widely spread, and all the towns will be submissive - first present the seal letter of the governor of Liaodong's vassal state to show that he is not deceived. ”

When Shi Xun heard this, he couldn't help but sneer secretly - I don't read much, don't lie to me! (To be continued......)

PS: Han Yao, the new Han Zhiyu in this chapter, is an old friend of mine, and he temporarily came to play a supporting role, as for his end...... Someone called and asked: Let him die a miserable death!
