Chapter 642: Sitting in the City of Sorrow
Qingzhou, Donglai County.
Just when Gongsun Du was still thinking about whether to kill back to Liaodong or create a world in Qingzhou, he had lost the right to choose. Zang Hong knew that Gongsun Du's lair had been captured, so he didn't wait until three days later to make a move, his judgment was: If Gongsun Du was not crazy, he would definitely break off the idea of killing back to Liaodong, but fight with himself in Qingzhou.
So he preemptively preemptive.
Zang Hong was very decisive, since Gongsun Du had become a lost dog and lost the strong support of Liaodong, Zang Hong did not intend to let him leave freely, but was determined to annihilate Gongsun Du's troops in Qingzhou, taking this opportunity to exalt his might. If it weren't for that, I don't know how many people would dare to fight Qingzhou's idea.
Just one day after the three-day appointment, the naval troops of Qingzhou Mansion came out of Linzi and went around to the east of Huangxian County to attack Penglai at night, burning the large and small warships of the Liaodong Army anchored in Penglai to the ground, completely cutting off the retreat of the Liaodong Army!
At the same time, Chen Rong went north from Dongwuyang and began to recover the lost towns, the towns occupied by the Liaodong Army did not have many troops at all, and they marched vigorously on the Shandong Peninsula, while Zang Hong's army advanced to Huangxian and did not attack the city, but suppressed Gongsun Du so much that he could not move. The reinforcements of Qingzhou Mansion continued to move closer to Huangxian and Chen Rongbu, and Zang Hong's troops were increasing.
From the moment the warship was burned, Gongsun Du knew that things were difficult to get good, Zang Hong's ruthlessness made this down-and-out prince feel cold, however, he didn't have much time to regret it, Zang Hong unexpectedly agreed to the request of the Liaodong Army, and agreed to let Gongsun Du have a way to live, and the Liaodong Army could go to Xuzhou through Route 6 to join Tao Qian, but all the siege equipment must be left.
One inadvertent move, he was pulled down from the throne of the king of Liaodong. In the end, he had to send someone under the fence, such a contrast is not something that everyone can bear, but in order to survive, Gongsun Du had to make this decision. He did not send someone to Tao Qian to express his intention to take refuge, first, there was not enough time, and second, Gongsun Du still had a trace of illusion, if the conditions permitted, he would not refuse to come to Xuzhou to occupy the magpie's nest, or simply kill Zang Hong to return to the horse gun. Turn the table.
However, before that, Gongsun Du must first get out of the besieged Huang County.
On the appointed day, Zang Hong withdrew his troops outside the south gate of Huang County. Make way for the Liaodong Army. Gongsun Du did not immediately surrender Huang County, and it was not until the vanguard he sent ten miles away from the city and was sure that there was no trouble nearby, that Gongsun Du personally led the army. Quickly withdraw from Huang County.
"Zang Ziyuan really believes in people, but how can such a woman's kindness be a big thing!" Fifteen miles after leaving Huang County, Gongsun Du couldn't help laughing.
Gongsun Dudi's laughter has not disappeared. A few gongs sounded. Qingzhou Mansion is full of ambushes!
Zang Hong and Chen Rong's faces were gloomy. Sneered. Resolute with Zang Hongdi. How could Gongsun Du leave Qingzhou safely. Leave a great enemy for yourself? Gongsun Duxian had a covetous heart for Qingzhou. When the momentum is not right, I want to pat my ass and leave. There is no such thing as a cheap thing.
Soldiers don't get tired of cheating!
The Liaodong Army at the end of the road. If you can't see any hope of an escape place, you can only hold on to the county seat. It is the county seat of Dongnae-gun. Huang County has abundant grain and grass materials. It is enough for the grandson to spend two years. Zang Hong didn't dare to force Gongsun Du to be too ruthless. Only to lead the Liaodong army away from the city, high and strong, the county seat. Destroy enemy forces in the field. The loss of land in Qingzhou can be reduced to a minimum.
So there was this time to lure the snake out of the hole.
Hit the beginning. Zang Hong never thought about letting Gongsun live!
At the end of the road, more than 14,000 Liaodong troops (and about 6,000 troops scattered in various towns and were crushed by each one) engaged in fierce battles with the troops of Qingzhou Prefecture, and their morale was low, driven by the desire to survive and the anger of being foolish. Gradually getting red-hot. The most elite units of the Liaodong Army burst out with amazing combat effectiveness in a desperate situation.
The troops of Qingzhou Mansion had more than 23,000 people, and the superiority in numbers and the strategy of the main general achieved the expected results. The morale of the local troops in Qingzhou Prefecture has been greatly boosted, and they also have the advantage of being geographically advantageous, and it is more advantageous to fight at home. The army of Qingzhou Mansion used an ambush to catch the Liaodong Army by surprise at the beginning.
However, as the two armies began to face each other head-on, hand-to-hand combat to the death, the excellent qualities of the Liaodong Army began to be revealed. Most of the soldiers who crossed the Hainan expedition with Gongsun Du were elite soldiers who had experienced countless battles, their fighting skills were more sophisticated, and they knew how to wield their own advantages in the battle of life and death.
Zang Hong had not yet had time to form a strong army, and most of the troops participating in the battle this time came from the garrisons of various towns and cities, and had not undergone unified training. Such a unit is a little better when it has the upper hand in battle, but once it encounters a tough opponent and the losses are slightly greater, it is easy to break up. Zang Hong had foreseen this, and the law enforcement team directly under the state government cut down more than 20 cowardly 100 and 1,000 commanders, as well as more than 300 deserters, and hung the heads of those who retreated from the battle, so that no one in the Qingzhou army dared to retreat half a step back.
Zang Hong's ruthlessness can be seen!
The battle between the Qingzhou Army and the Liaodong Army was fierce, Gongsun Du did not dare to fight more, Qingzhou was not his back garden, the Liaodong Army (in fact, it was no longer rumored that it was called the Liaodong Army, the old nest had been lost) It was difficult to get the replenishment of materials and soldiers, and the Liaodong Army was bent on breaking through and fighting and retreating.
I have to admit that the Liaodong Army under the command of Gongsun Du is of good quality, and in such an unfavorable situation, the Liaodong Army still has a basis for advancing and retreating, and there is no confusion in the slightest. Three hours later, the Liaodong Army successfully broke through the encirclement of Qingzhou Mansion and withdrew to the south.
Zang Hong once again showed his outstanding military talents, and before Gongsun Du broke out of the siege, the troops of Qingzhou Mansion and the reinforcements that were still moving closer to the war zone set up ambushes in dangerous areas outside the encirclement. Under Zang Hong's strict orders, these small units did not engage the Liaodong Army head-on, they occupied high places, blocked the main roads with large stones or flammable materials, and constantly harassed the enemy with bows and rockets.
They could not do much damage to the Liaodong Army, but they could exhaust the Liaodong Army and slow down the retreat of the Liaodong Army. Taking advantage of the continuous resistance of these small troops, Zang Hong dispatched large troops to take a shortcut. The Liaodong Army was encircled again and again!
Gongsun Dudi's troops suffered heavy losses!
In the direction of the Liaodong Army's advance, it seems that there will always be an enemy waiting, I don't know where the arrows will suddenly shoot out, and the Liaodong Army, which has experienced a hundred battles, was also made miserable by Zang Hong's tactics, even at night, the pursuit of Qingzhou Mansion has not stopped. Along the way, batch after batch of soldiers of the Liaodong Army were killed in battle, and a lot of ordnance and materials were lost. If you continue like this, you will be dragged to death by Zang Hong before you enter the territory of Xuzhou.
In desperation, Gongsun Du had to muster up Yu Yong. Suddenly turned to capture the county town of Changyang and temporarily settle down, so as to repair the troops and raise the strength of the soldiers. Since most of the troops in Qingzhou Prefecture were drawn to participate in the battle, there were few troops left in Changyang County. And Gongsun Du stopped breaking through to Xuzhou very suddenly, and when Zang Hong's situation was wrong, Changyang had fallen into the hands of Gongsun Du.
Due to the fierce fighting all the way, the troops had many discounts, and there were constantly troops who were entangled by the troops of Qingzhou Mansion in the fierce battles, and they could not evacuate with the large group of men, and by this time, the troops who followed Gongsun Du's side were less than 5,000 people left!
Although the grain and grass in Changyang City are not as abundant as those in Huang County. But it was enough for Gongsun Du's troops to last more than two months, and the Liaodong army was exhausted, so Gongsun Du broke off the idea of taking advantage of the situation to break through and stick to Changyang no longer fighting. When Zang Hong and Chen Rong led their troops to the outside of Changyang City, they also wisely did not choose to attack the city, first, there were no siege equipment. The second was a siege battle with Gongsun Du's elite troops, and the losses were quite large, and Zang Hong besieged but did not attack.
I have to admit that Zang Hongdi's actions have forced Gongsun Du into a desperate situation, but at this point, it is not easy for Qingzhou Mansion to completely annihilate Gongsun Du's troops, and it is definitely not advisable to storm the county seat, the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Army is stronger than that of the Qingzhou Army, and the defenders of the city already have a great advantage. Even if Zang Hong spared his life, he attacked wildly. It may not work out. Gongsun Du still has 5,000 elite troops in the city, once the Qingzhou Mansion troops are divided. It is very likely that it will not be able to stop the Liaodong military to break through, and all the troops are concentrated nearby, the consumption of money and food is huge, and the defense capability of Qingzhou is very weak, if there is another enemy attacking Qingzhou at this time, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Zang Hong faces a difficult choice: give up the hunt for Gongsun Du, or take the risk to be tough to the end?
In the end, Qingzhou Thorn Shi chose the former.
In the battle with the Liaodong Army, Zang Hong's military talent and ruthlessness and decisiveness made his influence in Qingzhou rise to a new level. So far, the losses of the troops of the Qingzhou Prefecture have exceeded 8,000, which is not a small loss, but it also gave Zang Hong the opportunity to rearm and establish a strong force under the direct leadership of the prefecture.
Zang Hong's mind spun quite fast.
The envoy of Qingzhou Mansion entered the county seat of Changyang County, proposed to open the net and let Gongsun Du enter Xuzhou. It's a pity that Gongsun Du has become a frightened bird, and he would rather die than dare to believe Zang Hongdi's words, and the bloody lesson is there.
"I believed Zang Ziyuan's words before, my troops have been reduced by more than half, and the occupied county seat of Huangxian has also been replaced by the current county seat Changyang. Do you still want to tell me to get out of town when I'm stupid? ”
The envoy of Qingzhou Mansion had his ears cut off and was thrown out of the city with sticks.
Zang Hong had to leave Chen Rong and 15,000 troops of Qingzhou Mansion stationed outside Changyang City, surrounded on three sides, but gave up the south gate without a garrison, this is to avoid Gongsun Du turning around and causing trouble in Qingzhou again, and at the same time, there is also the hope that the Liaodong Army will retreat from the south of Changyang and rush to Xuzhou.
Gongsun Du didn't know what to do, and thought it was Zang Hong's conspiracy again, so he refused to lead the army out of the city, but only sent a messenger to look at Xuzhou through the south gate to find Tao Qian, expressing his willingness to surrender. If Tao Qian was willing to accept and sent troops to meet him, Gongsun Du was willing to leave the city.
In this way, the Qingzhou Mansion and Gongsun Du's troops confronted each other in Changyang County, and Gongsun Du sat in the city of sorrow, and the two sides formed a stalemate.
When Gongsun Du occupied Changyang County, Ah Niu had already returned to Fengxiang City. The Great Migration of the Taran Department is still in full swing. During the time that Ah Niu left Fengxiang for Liangzhou and stayed in Luoyang, the fleet of the Canglan Sailors made four more round-trips between the town of Porai and the port of Prince in Youzhou, bringing back more than 8,000 tribesmen, as well as a number of livestock and goods.
With the arrival of this group of tribesmen, the construction of the Taran tribe camp under the Black Tiger Ridge was accelerated, and tents were erected one by one. A large number of villagers recruited by Fengxiang. He was mainly responsible for the construction of the camp defense, Xu Rong personally drafted the ground defense system, so that the Qianluo elders admired the five bodies, for the nomads, they would never have imagined that the camp could be built so strong and safe!
Elder Qianluo chose the arc-shaped valley under the Black Tiger Ridge as the tribal camp, so that the people and animals of the Taran tribe could live for a long time and end the life of displacement. The length of the camp of more than ten miles can ensure that the Wuhuan war horse has enough space to move, so as to maintain the Su zhì of the Wuhuan war horse to the greatest extent; Meantime. Within a radius of twenty miles outside the camp, there is a large amount of valley with abundant water and grass, which can not be used to feed the existing livestock of the Taran tribe, even if the size of the livestock is doubled. It's not a problem either.
Looking at the camp of the Taran tribe that had gradually become a climate, a certain city lord was very satisfied.
Due to the arrival of the Taran tribe in Qingzhou, they were basically ordinary people, and there were not enough warriors to guard the camp. Sun Liang specially dispatched a thousand Shanzi battalion soldiers to be stationed at the foot of the Black Tiger Ridge. Not only that, but three hundred junior martial artists and fifty elite Dark Flower martial artists are also the regular defense forces here, which shows that Feng Xiang attaches great importance to the safety of the Taran tribe.
These troops and warriors will not withdraw until the migration of the Taran tribe is complete and the camp has sufficient self-protection capabilities.
"When will the next time the Canglan Sailor will return to Terry Town? How many of the materials needed for the migration of the Talan tribe have not been transported to Youzhou? Ah Niu asked.
"Jiang Qin came out of the town two days ago, and Zhou Tai failed to catch up with the water master land, according to the normal itinerary. They will return in four days; The materials needed by the Talan tribe have all arrived in the first three rounds, and unless Youzhou proposes a new list of needs, our sailors do not need to deliver any goods to Youzhou. ”
A certain city lord nodded and said to Sun Liang: "That's good, in the four days before Jiang Qin comes back, we need to hurry up and do something." The Yellow Turban Army has captured the entire territory of Liaodong. Fat Dragon Babies urgently need a large number of production tools and daily necessities in order to vigorously carry out production in Liaodong, they are still the public enemies of the whole country, and they cannot obtain these materials through the normal trade routes of Guò for the time being, only we can help. The list of their needs will be sent over soon, and we will help them purchase all these items in the shortest possible time, and I believe that the Donghai Mi clan will be very happy to take over this big deal, and only with the help of the Mi Chamber of Commerce, we will have the ability to build a large number of goods in a short period of time.
After the Canglan sailor came back, he sent some of them over first. Anyway, our fleet was also empty when it ran to Youzhou. It won't take long to bring some supplies along the way. After unloading the goods at the port in Liaodong, you can go to the port of Prince in Beiping, killing two birds with one stone. ”
Sun Liang's face was pale. He frowned and said: "My lord, in that case, it will inevitably affect the migration degree of the Taran tribe, get on and off the boat, plus take a detour to get out of the place for more time, as little as one and a half days, as much as two days." For every day that the migration is delayed, we have to provide an extra day of supplies for the Flying Wing Battalion and the Taran tribe who are still in Youzhou, which is also a lot of expenses......
"It doesn't matter, it's a responsibility that we have to bear." A certain city lord said categorically.
Sun Liang actually just wanted to remind Ah Niu to see if he could make up for this additional loss from the Yellow Turban Army, but now seeing that Ah Niu had made up his mind, he didn't dare to say more, "Yes." ”
The poor deputy city lord was already estimating in his mind how much Feng Xiang might pay for this, and for Sun Liang, this was the most sensitive and fatal question. Especially when he learned from a certain city lord that the funds obtained by Long Fei's Anti-Japanese War were intercepted by Luoyang, Sun Liang almost fainted.
You must know that the financial situation of the territory has been tight for nearly a year, not only to ensure the development of Fengxiang, but also to transfuse blood for Longfei and Luoyang, plus the investment of the Heqi Chamber of Commerce, the expansion of the army, the landing and migration of the Talan Department and other major events, all require Sun Liang to pay money, and Sun Liang's pressure is not small. It's okay if you can't get the proceeds of the battle of Long Fei, and a large part of the soldiers killed in the battle will be re-recruited in Fengxiang, which is equivalent to asking Sun Liang to squeeze out funds from between his teeth.
Thinking that the means of production in the entire Liaodong might be an astronomical amount, Sun Liang couldn't help but feel a thrill, and continued stubbornly: "My lord, the liquidity of the territory is almost exhausted, and the materials needed in Liaodong can only be purchased through the Guò Mi Chamber of Commerce. Of course, the cooperation between our Fengxiang and Mi clan can also be owed on credit for a period of time, but it is impossible to be in arrears for too long, if the demand in Liaodong is too huge, it will be difficult for us to purchase all the goods needed by the Yellow Turban Army.
Ah Niu paused for a moment, and then laughed, "The yellow scarf is no longer the yellow scarf of the past, and the fat dragon baby can be regarded as a prince after all, how can it be as shabby as before?" Liaodong is unusually rich under the governance of Gongsun Du, and after conquering Liaodong and taking over the land and wealth of Gongsun Du, Feilong Baby has already been quite wealthy, and it is no longer the miserable situation of exchanging people for materials like before. ”
Sun Liang's eyes lit up, and he lost his voice: "The lord is saying that the Yellow Turban Army will use funds to buy supplies?" ”
"Yes, after the Yellow Turban Army occupies Liaodong, it also needs a large number of people to open up its territory, and it will be difficult to get the population and talents from them in the future. They are willing to accept the market price, but for the sake of allies and the huge amount of trade, it is better to give them some discounts, not to scare away the long-term meal ticket. Ah Niu laughed.
The deputy city lord suddenly became excited, his eyes were full of gold and silver, and he retreated a little dejectedly, constantly thinking about the trade with the Yellow Turban Army in his mind.
"What they need is mainly production materials, many things that we Feng Xiang can produce by ourselves, and it seems that the weapon system can be postponed for a while...... In order not to affect the production of rhubarb, the number of blacksmiths also needs to be expanded! ”
"The energy of the Mi Chamber of Commerce is huge, and it can be used well, but after all, the Mi Chamber of Commerce is an outsider, and the Heqi Chamber of Commerce is its own person, although the power of the Heqi Chamber of Commerce in Qingzhou is not strong, some ordinary materials can still be purchased through the Guò Heqi Chamber of Commerce. Well, later, I will send someone to Huoyun City to inform Senior Brother Yin Meng (Sun Liang and Yin Meng are both the first batch of students of Fengxiang Academy, Yin Meng was the first to comprehend the characteristics of business and was sent to the Mi Chamber of Commerce to "study abroad", and Sun Liang was born after Yin Meng), to see if he was interested in this deal. ”
The more Sun Liang thought about it, the more excited he became, this deputy city lord had been trapped by money all day long, and now it was like a big treasure appeared, and he was inexplicably excited. Sun Liang learned a lot of advantages from Chen Gong, Pang Tong and others, and his words and deeds were one of them, and he immediately sent an envoy to Huoyun City to explain the matter to Yin Meng.
Yin Meng is worthy of being a professional with "business" characteristics, and he thinks further than Sun Liang on these professional issues.
"The Yellow Turban Army occupies Liaodong and has its own territory, so presumably there will be a lot of local production in the future. In addition, the surroundings of Liaodong are full of foreign races, and the strength is under the Yellow Turban Army, it should be possible for the fat dragon baby to get the specialties of the northern alien races, and if those goods can be transported to the Central Plains, the value will immediately skyrocket......
If the Harmony Chamber of Commerce can become the agent of the Yellow Turban Army, and exchange the goods of the Central Plains with Liaodong for local specialties, as well as the goods of different races such as Fuyu and Goryeo, it will give the Harmony Chamber of Commerce the opportunity to fly! ”
However, in order to realize the grand blueprint, there must be enough strength, and it is not easy for the Harmony Chamber of Commerce to maintain the current situation, and the Qiang market is enough for the Chamber of Commerce to drink a pot, and it has no ability to open another front. Yin Meng understands that it is quite unrealistic to try to make a big fight in Liaodong now, at most it is just a small fight to make some extra money.
"It seems that the exhibition of the Chamber of Commerce is not fast enough!" Yin Meng thought helplessly.
