In the barracks of the right army sent by Zuo Houde, Zhang Yuan looked at the deputies in front of him and said, "Several generals, my lord, I waited for two months to capture Qingzhou, but I didn't expect it to be so smooth!" ”

For a while, the rest of the deputies also sighed a little, when the 200,000 troops in the north of Yanwang Hongzhen were determined in Qingzhou for half a year, it was already amazing to everyone, and now it is also a 200,000 army, in just more than ten days, Zhang Yuan and others have arrived under Wuchao City.

Of course, this is Zuo Houde's arrangement, almost all of these cities have Zuo Houde's shadow guards, although the shadow guards in the city are few and cannot help them open the city gate, but they can help them quickly clean up the security in the city after the war.

As a result, the army spent little time in the post-battle city, and spent most of its time marching or besieging the city.

Of course, the siege is only a small time, the 200,000 troops are divided into troops, there are a lot of pioneers, each vanguard unit with dozens of tiger squat cannons, often most of the city thickness is less than five zhang, how to resist, under the sound of dozens of cannons, it took the initiative to surrender.

Even, in the past two days, the good news of the vanguard army has been coming, which makes Zhang Yuan and the others have an unreal feeling, the main force of their army has not been dispatched, and the whole Qingzhou now has a feeling that it can't hold on.

Just after Zhang Yuan looked at everyone's sighs, his face became stern, and he said: "In Qingzhou today, there are only two important checkpoints, Diancheng and Wuchao!" Who wants to break it? ”

Guan Ping stood up, clenched his fists and said, "General, the last general is willing to break the city of Dian!" ”

Zhang Yuan nodded: "Within three days, Dian City will be broken!" ”

"No!"

Zhang Yuan thought for a while and said: "Wuchao, this commander personally led the army forward, and each general was ordered to pull out the camp!" ”

"No!"

……

Seoul, Shi Wanzai looked at the capital of Hanzhou.

also sighed that in the past half a month, it has been easy to march and fight, to be precise, they are even easier than Zhang Yuan, Hong Zaixing has more than 100,000 troops left in Qingzhou, after all, Qingzhou is close to the southeast.

However, there were only a few defenders left in each city in Hanzhou, and they could not stop Shi Wansui's march at all, and most of the time was spent on the march in just ten days, and there was no resistance at all in the siege.

As soon as the artillery fire of the army opened, most of the cities fell, Shi Wansui, all the way to the north, even down forty or fifty cities, and now it is the last place in Hanzhou - Hancheng.

In Seoul, Shi Wansui's mission is over.

Shi Wansui instructed the soldiers to pull out the tiger squat cannon, and thousands of cannons were on this Seoul.

Shi Wansui gave an order: "Open the gun!" ”

At this time, thousands of cannons opened fire at the same time, and the sound was like thunder, and for a while, Shi Wansui was shocked by the sound of this cannon, not to mention the defenders of Seoul!

Hancheng is the old nest of Li Shouye before, naturally it is a high city with thick walls, the city wall is about 12 zhang, Rao is such a male city in front of thousands of cannons can only be a mantis arm as a car, for a time a lot of gravel on the city wall fell off.

The guards of the city did not dare to stand on the city wall, even for fear of the wall falling, but also for fear of being hit by cannonballs.

The morale in the city was completely lost, and Shi Wansui also pushed the boat with the water, and people went to surrender.

……

Tongguan, Hong Zaixing's army retreated to the city, the army was mostly numerous, and half of the army was camped outside the city.

And Lu Xiaoxian led the vanguard army and also came to this Tongguan, both sides were hundreds of thousands of troops, and the two armies were facing each other, and for a while there was a sense of urgency that the black clouds were pressing down on the city.

At this time, Lu Xiaoxian came to Hong Zaixing's camp with thousands of light horsemen to call for battle, Hong Zaixing also knew Lu Xiaoxian's prestige, so he didn't pay attention to Lu Xiaoxian, and directly sent a general with a light horse to kill Lu Xiaoxian.

The two cavalry fought together, but there was no winner for a while, although Lu Xiaoxian killed the enemy general at the moment, but after all, both sides were elite, and they did not take any advantage, so they could only collect the troops!

Lu Xiao returned to the camp first, Han Tingzhi looked at the generals, and said: "My two armies are deadlocked, who has a clever plan!" ”

A man dressed as a scribe stood up, first smiled uninhibitedly, bowed his hand slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, there has been no winner in the south and the north, why? In the view of Weichen, they are all harmed by this pass, if they take the pass, they will break the Tong pass, and this is difficult! Besides, even if you get Guanzhong, you can't set the north! ”

Han Tingzhi looked at the scribe in front of him, and asked lightly, "Oh, why!" ”

This scribe's name is Ram Yin, he was born in the Ram family, usually the most dissolute, loves to drink and have fun, but he is the most resourceful person in this army, and he can often strategize to win thousands of miles away.

Gongsun Yin continued: "Guanzhong is an important town in the world, and the heroes in the north can determine the world, but I can't get it in the south.

Second, this pass has always been a place for heroes in the north, even if we take it, it will be a loss of soldiers, and it is even more difficult to pacify the north! ”

When Han Tingzhi heard Gongsun Yin's words, he asked again, "What do you think?" ”

Gongsun Yin looked at Han Tingzhi and said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, it has been difficult to attack and easy to defend, Hong Zaixing's retreat from Tongguan is to change the attack to the defense, with the long enemy and the short, we are good at water warfare, how can we not use it?" ”

Han Tingzhi looked at Gongsun Yin, and said with a puzzled expression: "Hong Zaixing has already retreated to Tongguan, how can I use the water army!" ”

Gongsun Yin opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty can remember the two important towns of Jiujiang and Jianmen!" ”

Han Tingzhi opened his mouth and said suspiciously: "Jiujiang and Jianmen? ”

Gongsun Yin saw that Han Tingzhi still didn't understand what he meant, and said: "Hong Zaixing changed from offensive to defensive, and we can still wait, Your Majesty can send the armies of Jiujiang and Jianmen to go straight to Youzhou, and the two armies will surround Hong Zaixing's army in Guanzhong!"

Of course, there is a big drought in Guanzhong this year, so Hong Zaixing's grain and grass must be transported from Youzhou, so we can cut off its grain route, and Hong Zaixing will be trapped and killed in Guanzhong! ”

Han Tingzhi heard Gongsun Yin's words, and showed a trace of hesitation!

Gongsun Yin saw it, and he also understood his Majesty's worries, so he said: "Your Majesty, why should you worry, the Jiujiang and Jianmen armies stay in the south, although they can stabilize the rear, but the lion fights the rabbit, and they are still going all out, this is a battle of Dingding, Your Majesty still has to make up your mind!" ”

Han Tingzhi heard Gongsun Yin's words and said, "According to what you say, the Jiujiang and Jianmen armies are attacking Youzhou!" ”
