Xun You can also guess some of the big things that Zhao Kong said, although I don't know why Zhao Kong is so sure, but Xun You is not a person with excessive curiosity.

Looking at Tuyin City pondering for a while, and then picking up the detailed map of the surrounding area that he had just drawn, Xun You finally shook his head and said.

"Tuyin City itself is the county of Youbeiping, and it is also a key city to resist foreign races such as Wuhuan and Xianbei."

"After hundreds of years of continuous reinforcement, the city wall is as solid as a rock, and even if it is constantly bombarded with back artillery, I am afraid it will take more than a month to break the city."

"And there are no big rivers around the city, so it can't store water and flood the city, the ground is solid, and digging tunnels is a waste of time."

"Coupled with the courage and skill of the soldiers under the command of Gongsun Zhan, I can't think of a way to break the city in the short term."

Zhao Kong nodded a little helplessly, he knew that Xun You didn't really can't think of a way, but that there are a limited number of methods, which require a lot of lives to fill.

But although Zhao Kong can't talk about loving soldiers like sons, he is also very concerned about the lives of his subordinates, and he definitely can't accept that kind of damage ratio.

"Is Gongsun Chan crazy? This method of blocking the city gate by itself certainly prolongs the time for us to break the city, but it also traps themselves in the city, and they can only defend the city that cannot be counterattacked, and it is only a matter of time before it falls. Zhao Kong complained a little irritably.

Xun You said expressionlessly: "Maybe he wants to drag us under the Tuyuan City, and then cooperate with the reinforcements to eliminate it in one fell swoop." ”

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Kong shook his head and said:

Remember the URL

"Liu Yu can use no more than 30,000 troops, and defending the city still has some effect, but if you dare to come to us to fight in the field, it is no different from looking for death."

"Jizhou Mu Han Fu in the south has just taken office, and he hasn't been able to figure out his own situation, so he has no ability to send troops to support Youzhou."

"The Xianbei people in the north are fighting in the middle, and they are about to hit the dog's brain, and they don't have the strength to go south to help Liu Yu."

"Other states and counties in Dahan are all paying attention to Luoyang at the moment, and they are preparing to deal with the Xiliang army, and the probability of helping Liu Yu is not very high."

"And there are only a few forces that can pose a threat to us, so they won't come to support Youzhou."

Xun You frowned and didn't speak, as if he was also wondering who Gongsun Zhan's reinforcements were.

Zhao Kong suddenly smiled and said: "Forget it, don't worry about the problem of reinforcements, as long as you can break through Tuyin City as soon as possible, all the other party's calculations will be in vain!" ”

Gongsun Zhan and Liu Yu's calculations were obviously using Tuyin City as bait to catch Zhao Kong, who was eager to advance westward.

Although it is still impossible to guess their specific methods, as long as this central point is destroyed, other problems will be solved.

Xun You asked with some confusion: "The lord has come up with a good plan to break the city?" ”

Zhao Kong shook his head, diverted the topic and said: "Gongda, wait a while, you will take a soldier and horse, and take down the surrounding counties first, the county soldiers of those counties have gathered in Tuyin City, and it should not be difficult to capture them." ”

"After taking those county seats, you will quietly spread the news to the outside world that our army is preparing to besiege the mound for a long time, and see if you can take the opportunity to test the hole cards of Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan."

After explaining Xun You, Zhao Kong found Yu Ban again, temporarily entrusted the army to him, and he quickly rushed to Liaoxi County alone.

After leaving the junction area between Youbeiping and Liaoxi, Zhao Kong immediately took advantage of the wind and quickly flew to the southeast.

It is true that you can't use off-board moves to deal with Gongsun Zhan, but it doesn't mean that Zhao Kong can't jump out of the chessboard and make some extra preparations within the rules.

Since taking the counties of Liaodong, the political and military centers under Zhao Kong have been moved to the newly built city of Dalian one after another.

With Dalian as the center, it can not only give full play to its powerful shipping capacity, but also hold the Korean Peninsula and the Dongying islands hostage, and even more can pose a huge threat to Youzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou.

In particular, Bohai County, which is across the sea from Dalian, and Hebei County, which has a population of more than 1 million, was plundered by nearly 500,000 people in just over a year.

As a result, almost all the counties in the eastern part of Bohai County have become empty cities, and the proportion of Han people in the three counties of Liaodong, Lelang, and Xuansu has risen sharply.

As the temporary capital of Zhaokong, Dalian naturally had a large number of troops stationed around, including five foreign legions of 10,000 people, which were basically composed of natives from Dongying and Sanhan.

Originally, these foreign legions, Zhao Kong was going to use them to open up the South Seas, and he didn't want them to participate in the civil war in the Central Plains.

But now that Gongsun Chan has come to such a disgusting hand, Zhao Kong has no time to spend it with him.

The only way to break the game quickly is to fill it with a large number of lives, so at this time, using the Foreign Legion has become the only way to break the game.

Zhao Kong, who was supposed to be on the front line of Youbeiping, suddenly appeared in Dalian again, which made some newcomers quite strange, but no one was brainless enough to ask.

As for the old men who have followed Zhao Kong for a long time, they all know the identity of the Yin and Yang family heirs he fabricated, and they have long been accustomed to this kind of elusive whereabouts.

When the high-level generals of the five foreign legions heard that they could finally participate in the war and make meritorious contributions, they were all crazy with joy.

The rules set by Zhao Kong for the Foreign Legion are both strict and "generous".

The military ranks of these generals are only given temporarily, and if they cannot obtain commensurate merit in the war, they can only return to their hometowns as ordinary people with a pension after ten years.

And once the merit matches the rank, it will automatically be transferred to the rank of the Yellow Turban.

Not only is the treatment exactly the same as that of the generals of the Yellow Turban Army, but they can also get a large fiefdom in their respective hometowns!

And the ordinary soldiers of the Foreign Legion are the same, all the military merits can be exchanged for the military merits of the hometown, not only the land is relatively fertile, but there is no need to pay taxes to the local lords!

This made the 50,000 foreign legions, almost day and night, train hard, waiting for the war to come.

Under Zhao Kong's personal arrangement, the fleet that had just returned from transporting military rations immediately carried 50,000 foreign legions to Youbeiping.

With the strong transportation power of the Liaodong Yellow Turban, it only took five days for this cannon fodder army to be sent outside Tuyin City.

Zhao Kong's actions made the other soldiers in the army very puzzled, and Yu Ban also complained to him in private:

"Lord, it's not that we can't attack this Tuyan City, as long as the lord gives an order, we can break through the city within three days!"

Zhao Kong shook his head with a smile and said, "Of course I know that everyone has the strength to break the city, but Gongsun Zan in the city is not easy to match. ”

"The soldiers under his command have been fighting for a long time, and they are definitely the strongest force in the border army."

"Even if Wen Ze can lead the army to forcibly break the city, I am afraid that our army will also suffer heavy casualties."

Yu Ban nodded silently, and then looked at the eyes of the Foreign Legion, and suddenly brought a trace of pity.

The ensuing battle was indeed as Zhao Kong expected, and the casualties on both sides were extremely tragic.

Because the Liaodong Yellow Turban lit up the technology of blast furnace steelmaking, although the output and quality of steel cannot be compared with modern times, including the Foreign Legion, they have all been replaced with full-body iron armor.

But even so, the condescending defenders in the city, coupled with sufficient garrison materials, can still cause huge casualties to the besieging side.

However, in order to break the city as soon as possible, Zhao Kong did not miss the casualties of the legion at all, and the Yellow Turban Army turned into a warlord, and the cowards who turned around and fled were all killed on the spot.

The 50,000 Foreign Legion with hundreds of ladder carts continued to pour into the city like a tidal wave.

The defenders of the city shot a large rain of arrows, densely pouring down, but when encountering the entire army of foreign legions wearing armor and a large number of shields, the damage that bows and arrows can do is quite limited.

However, because the siege battle had just begun, the defenders had high morale and sufficient physical strength, so it was naturally impossible to be taken down in one fell swoop.

Although the equipment of the Foreign Legion is far superior to that of the defenders, the number of deaths is also rising when attacking a border town such as Tuyin City, and the defenders are the long-experienced Youzhou border army.

Seeing that the offensive had been frustrated, Zhao Kong's heart was ruthless, and he mobilized a large number of return artillery to attack the city.

The Yellow Turbans completely disregarded the life and death of the Foreign Legion, and carried out indiscriminate intensive bombardment, so that those entangled defenders also suffered heavy casualties.

Because of the accuracy and rate of fire, even if hundreds of guns are bombarded together, if they are not entangled, the defenders at the head of the city can easily avoid them, so they can only be used to destroy the city wall.

But now the defenders are in a melee, and they can't hide if they want to, but because they are gathered in large numbers at the head of the city, the mortality rate is even higher!

Gongsun Zhan, who commanded at the head of the city, was also shocked by Zhao Kong's ruthless fighting style, but at this time, he couldn't retreat, so he could only send more soldiers to the city head and continue to consume with the other party.

In order to boost the morale of the Foreign Legion, Zhao Kong promised on the spot that all the soldiers who died in this battle could inherit at least 100 acres of fertile land from their families, and add 50 acres for each enemy killed!

With such a generous reward, almost all of the Foreign Legion fell into a state of frenzy, and even the Yellow Turban Army present swallowed their saliva, but unfortunately all the acres of land were in Dongying, and they were not willing to go to the island where disasters were frequent that day.

The siege lasted from noon until nightfall, and the Foreign Legion was nearly crushed by heavy casualties.

Zhao Kong saw that the city was already crumbling, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he asked the Yellow Turban Army in his headquarters to prepare and continue to attack the city at night.

After most of the day's continuous attrition, the defenders of the city have long been exhausted.

At this moment, the people of the headquarters, who are full of energy and fighting spirit, have a great probability of falling in one go, and the casualties are completely within the bearable range.

Zhao Kong was originally going to personally lead the army to attack the city, but Yu Ban and Gao Shun were almost forced to die before they stopped the anxious Zhao Kong.

Fortunately, at this point, even Gongsun Zhan, a fierce general, was exhausted, and even if Yu Ban's strength was slightly inferior to him, he still pressed Gongsun Chan to the point that he had no power to fight back.

And Gao Shunhe, who took the initiative to ask to participate in the siege of the city, tore a crack in the city, and a large number of Yellow Turban troops continued to rush up the city wall.

The defenders, who were already demoralized because of heavy casualties, completely collapsed at this moment.

Tuyin, a fortified city in northern Xinjiang, also fell into the hands of Zhao Kong at midnight!

However, Gongsun Zhan, the top cavalry commander, saw the fall of Tuyan City, so he committed suicide by swinging his sword at the head of the city, and the white horse righteous servants under his command were also killed and injured in the battle to defend the city, which made Zhao Kong very sorry.

In fact, putting aside the affairs of the Gongsun clan in Liaodong, Zhao Kong still admires Gongsun Zhan, at least his tough style towards the Hu people in the north makes Zhao Kong very willing to leave him in the Huohuo grassland.

But now it doesn't make sense to say this, more than 20,000 defenders in Tuyan City, more than 30,000 young people who participated in the defense of the city, after this battle, almost more than half of them were killed and wounded.

And the 50,000 Foreign Legion, now there are only more than 20,000 left, and the two sides fight to achieve such a casualty ratio, which is very rare in this era.

Because of this, the aftermath of Tuyin City is quite difficult to do, which makes Zhao Kong have a headache.

Fortunately, Xun You rushed back the next day, and Zhao Kong immediately threw all the troubles after the war to him and flew back to Dalian overnight.

No matter what calculations Liu Yu had behind him, Zhao Kong took Youbeiping County in less than ten days, and all conspiracies and tricks lost their space.

With Xun You's ability, dealing with Liu Yu, who has lost Gongsun Zhan, is naturally a breeze.

Moreover, Zhao Kong also wanted to use Liu Yu, a member of the Han family, to force Xun You to completely extinguish the last trace of attachment to the Han family in his heart!

Although Xun You is a qualified strategist, his loyalty to his lord is even higher than that of his slippery uncle Xun Zhan.

But Zhao Kong also noticed that Xun You still had a little nostalgia for the imperial court in his heart, and even occasionally guided Zhao Kong, wanting him to really become the Liaodong county guard of the imperial court.

Originally, Xun You's mentality didn't matter, but sooner or later, Zhao Kong would face the court head-on, and maybe there would be a big mess at that time.

That's why this time he wants to force Xun Yu to take Liu Yu, a well-known clan virtuous person, to end the possible hidden dangers.

When the Liaodong Yellow Turban is about to sweep Youzhou, the changes in Luoyang have also reached a critical moment.

Because Dong Zhuo abolished the Son of Heaven, the entire Kanto region was almost boiling.

Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others colluded with county guards and state pastors in various places, and even Zhao Kong, the county guard of Liaodong, Yuan Shao invited them through the Xun family.

However, just a few days after returning to Dalian, Zhao Kong, who was busy dealing with government affairs, didn't know that Dong Zhuo, who was in high spirits in Luoyang City at this moment, was actually talking about him with his confidant Li Ru.

"Wen You, Liu Yu sent a letter asking for help urgently, we just don't ask?" Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru with some puzzlement.

At this time, although Dong Zhuo was complacent, he had not been corrupted by power and women, and he was still the Xiliang tycoon who seemed to be reckless, but in fact he was quite deep in the city.

Li Ru nodded and said, "Now the officials of the Kanto states and counties have made it clear that they want to unite against us. Whether the court saves Liu Yu or not, it can't change the attitude of those people. ”

"Rather than provoking the powerful Liaodong Yellow Turban, it is better to let Youzhou be occupied by Chen Defeat, so that Ji, Qing, and Sanzhou will be like thorns in the back, and it will be difficult to fight with us with all our strength."

Dong Zhuo was quite annoyed by the situation in the Kanto states, and almost all of the people who were jumping up and down now were promoted and rewarded by him, but as soon as they arrived at the place, they turned their faces and wanted to crusade against him.

Although Dong Zhuo is conceited that the combat strength of the Xiliang Army is unparalleled, the population of the Kanto region is too large, and those people have the support of various families, God knows how much army strength will be gathered.

After pondering for a moment, Dong Zhuo suddenly spoke: "Since the attitude of the Kanto family towards us cannot be changed, then simply give them a big trouble." ”

"Let people draw up a decree, seal Zhao Kong as the history of Jizhou Thorn, and Yuan Shao as the history of Youzhou Thorn."

"The old man wants to see what Yuan Benchu, the white-eyed wolf, can do to deal with Chen Wei, the Yellow Turban Tiger."
