Everyone's faces couldn't help but show joy.

Such a record can be called a big victory.

But Hua Xiong just nodded slightly, and there was not much joy.

This surprised everyone.

"My lord, why don't you have the slightest intention of being happy?"

Zhou Cang couldn't help but ask.

"Although he killed Yuan Shang, Yuan Tan, this kid, still escaped."

Hua Xiong shook his head.

"How can this Yuan Tan have a virtue with Yuan Shang and his son Yuan Shao. The battle is not good, and the escape is faster than the other. ”

"Yes, especially that Yuan Shang, an insider in the civil war and an outsider in the foreign war.

Beat up your own brother, that's called a handy.

As a result, it was against the lord, and it was simply vulnerable. ”

Everyone said a word, ridiculing Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang brothers.

At this moment, Xin Bi suddenly appeared outside the door and supported his brother Xin Ping.

"My lord, this is my brother."

Simbi introduced.

"Xin Ping pays a visit to King Wei."

Xin Ping saluted Huaxiong.

"Nakaji doesn't have to be polite. Quickly heard that Zhongzhi was resourceful, so he skipped people.

It's a pity that Yuan Tan is mediocre and incompetent, not only does he not reuse you, but he is also more suspicious. ”

Hearing Hua Xiong mention Yuan Tan, a flash of anger flashed on Xin Ping's face.

He was loyal, but he didn't want to be suspected of having two hearts by Yuan Tan, so he was imprisoned.

If it weren't for Hua Xiong defeating Yuan Tan, I'm afraid he would have to be in a different place.

"Zhongzhi has always been talented, but are you willing to show your strength under me?"

Hua Xiong looked at Xin Ping expectantly.

"Brother, the head of my family has come to respect talents, if you take refuge, you will definitely be reused."

Simbi also persuaded.

Xin Ping had already been heartbroken by Yuan Tan, coupled with Hua Xiong's warm invitation, and his younger brother's persuasion, he nodded without hesitation,

"Under ...... Willing to be loyal to the King of Wei! ”

"Ding, congratulations to the host for accepting Xin Ping and gaining three thousand prestige points!"

"Zhongzhi, from now on, we are our own people."

Hua Xiong beckoned Xin Ping to sit down with a smile, and introduced everyone present to him.

After some pleasantries, Hua Xiong talked about the current war again.

"Guys, what do you think should be done next?"

Guo Jia and Jia Xu glanced at each other, smiled and said,

"Lord, as soon as Yuan Shang dies, Yuan Tan fled to the north, and the land of Qingzhou has all fallen into our hands."

"I think the lord can immediately give an order to let Kong Beihai and Tai Shici march north.

First, to eliminate Yuan Tanyu's party, and second, to join us together. ”

Hua Xiong nodded,

"You're right.

But the most important thing is to chase and beat Yuan Tan.

Although he didn't have many men, there were still Gao Gan, Yuan Shao's nephews, in the north.

He occupies Youzhou and Merge, and his strength is okay.

If we don't step up our offensive, we are afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future.

There is a poem that says well, it is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to become a famous overlord. ”

As soon as this poem came out, the eyes of everyone present lit up.

"Lord, what you said in this poem is not bad at all, we can't learn from the overlord of Chu."

Guo Jia said with a smile.

Yes, I accidentally read out Lord Taizu's poem again.

However, Hua Xiong is cheeky and naturally will not explain.

"In this case, I ordered to go to Beihai and let Kong Rong and Tai Shici send troops to subdue the lost territory of Qingzhou.

Let's set off at once and pursue along the way. ”

……

Kong Rong and Tai Shici of Beihai County, after receiving Hua Xiong's order, immediately led the soldiers of the White Tiger Military Region to the north.

The news of Yuan Tan's escape had already reached Qingzhou.

The officials and scholars who were originally loyal to Yuan Tan turned against each other one after another.

Along the way, Tai Shici did not encounter decent resistance, and conquered Linzi, Pingyuan and other places without much effort, and successfully arrived at the foot of Nanpi City.

And Zhang Liao and Gao Shun led an army back to Yecheng and took all the territories that were originally loyal to Yuan Shang.

After eating the territory of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, the scope of Huaxiong's jurisdiction more than doubled at once.

And at this moment, Hua Xiong had already led a large army and came to Youzhou.

Because Yuan Tan had already rushed to Youzhou first, and when he heard the news that Huaxiong was about to attack, Gao Gan shrank his troops.

Huaxiong was unimpeded and came directly to the city of Jixian County, the seat of Youzhou Governance.

Jixian city wall.

Looking at the Huaxiong army with strict formation, swords and swords, and the endless camp tents, Gao Gan felt a touch of fear in his heart.

He descended the wall and returned to the chamber.

Yuan Tan is waiting for him here.

"Cousin, how's it going?"

"Not very optimistic." Gao Gan shook his head, his brows furrowed, "Huaxiong's army has surrounded Jixian. ”

"Huh?"

Yuan Tan was a little stunned.

He stood up and paced back and forth.

"How can this be?"

He fled all the way north and came to seek refuge in Gao Gan.

But he didn't expect Hua Xiong to give him a chance at all, and even chased him all the way.

Gao Gan comforted, "Xiansi (Yuan Tan's name), you don't have to worry, my city is impregnable, and he can't attack it." ”

"But we can't keep it all the time."

Yuan Tan was still sullen.

"Don't worry, I've already arranged it." Gao Gan said confidently, "I have sent someone to ask for help from the Wuhuan people. They will definitely send someone here, and when the time comes, we will attack inside and outside, and it will be the end of Huaxiong! ”

"But Hua Xiong is strong, let's join forces, will it be his opponent?"

Yuan Tan still couldn't put his mind at ease.

"Xiansi, don't you understand the strength of the Wuhuan people?

They are good at war, and all men and women in the clan are warriors.

Their cavalry, in particular, is unparalleled in the world.

You can rest assured. ”

Gao Gan laughed.

Hearing these words, Yuan Tan's frowning brows finally relaxed.

……

Outside Jixian County.

Hua Xiong looked at the tall city wall and frowned slightly.

Guo Jia on the side noticed his expression, stepped forward, and said softly,

"According to the information I heard, the city wall of Jixian County was built on the mountain, supplemented by rice milk, and it was indestructible. If you want to attack, I'm afraid that the loss will be not small. ”

"Yes, there are culverts in the city, and the high cadres are hoarding countless grains and grasses.

Even if you want to besiege it, it will be difficult to take it without a year or two of effort. ”

Jia Xu added on the side.

After listening to the introduction of the two of them, everyone's expressions were a little worried.

Jixian County is so strong, and the city has plenty of grain and grass water, how can this be captured?

But Hua Xiong smiled slightly at this moment,

"Isn't it easy to capture a small city?

Tell to go down, get ready, and attack the city tonight. ”

After saying this, he turned and returned to the camp, leaving behind the people who looked at each other.

"Strategist, why is the lord so sure that he can attack the city tonight?"

Gao Shun couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know."

Guo Jia spread his hands helplessly.

It would be very difficult to capture such a majestic city.

However, Hua Xiong said it so easily, how could he not make everyone wonder.

"Don't worry, the lord has only known people, and he can take us to the sky and capture such a city, it will be easy."

Zhou Cang said with a smile.
