Yuwen stopped outside Xiangyang City at the same time, Gao Changgong was sleepless all night, he led thousands of soldiers, overnight rushed to attack Deng County, at dawn, Deng County was broken, so far, the obstacles of the Qi army south to Xiangyang have all been swept away, a horse Pingchuan, as long as most of the people and horses gathered, you can hit Xiangyang at any time, above the fertile field, there is only such a broken wall in front of Gao Changgong, mourning everywhere......

When the day just revealed a touch of fish white belly, Gao Changgong rode his horse into Deng County, the cold winter, scraping his black armor, dozens of fierce and majestic armor horses surrounded Gao Changgong stepped through the collapsed city gate, rushed to the temporary preparation for the general stationed at the festival place, overnight, Deng County looked like yesterday, but no longer saw the shadow of the Zhou soldiers, south of Funiu Mountain, north of Xiangyang, has become the world of Qi people.

On the official road in the city, you can also see the people of Minzhuang who were requisitioned from the territory of Qi to repair and widen the road, build a camp, there is a big and large grain transport team along the road across Deng County to the south, it has just snowed for a few days, and now the weather has picked up a little, the road is muddy, it is difficult to walk, donkeys and horses are overwhelmed, and they are slowly stepped on by a shallow foot, and there are several big cars stuck there, no matter how Minzhuang drives the cattle and sheep, it is impossible to take a step forward, Gao Changgong looked over, raised the whip and pointed in that direction"Gather a few horses to help tow the cart, and be polite to these people." Suddenly, a horseman ran away as fast as he could, delivering his orders.

"Our army's grain and grass transportation is difficult, and it must be solved as soon as possible......," a deputy general carefully said to Gao Changgong, in fact, the people in the Qi army are not less, in addition to the people who have been requisitioned in the territory of Daqi, the people of the Zhou State who are scattered because of the war will also come to beg for a bite to eat, the sturdy ones are responsible for pulling the fiber and carrying the load, and the old and weak women and children are responsible for moving small stones to fill the road. However, the Qi army's action of grabbing territory was too fast, and the transportation speed of grain, grass, and baggage could not keep up with the speed of the Qi army's siege of the city.

After the Luyang massacre, the imperial court expressed a little dissatisfaction, Gao Changgong has since become more and more strict requirements for the soldiers under his command, not to violate military discipline, is to capture Deng County, the Qi army did not do anything to rob the finances, plunder the children of the things out, it can be called the autumn without committing a crime, which makes the anxious people have looked at the Qi army one after another, and the sky is fluttering and falling fine snow, a team of Qi troops in armor patrols the streets, the team is extremely strict, neatly dressed, and the cold weather does not remove the armor, It invisibly illustrates the strength of this army. The city is new, it is the time when people's hearts are undecided, I am afraid that there will be all kinds of small people who take the opportunity to jump up and make trouble, and patrols are necessary.

In troubled times, the people are the lowest and most pitiful, these people are now the people of Daqi, and the army has the obligation to maintain normal order. Aside from the illustrious military exploits, Gao Changgong is also an extremely emotional person, he naturally does not want to see the people displaced, miserable, war is a matter between the state of Qi and the state of Zhou, but the most painful price has to be borne by the people, but for the sake of the overall situation, he still acquiesced to the behavior of Wei Xiang's willingness to slaughter the city, he is the commander of a country, competing for power in troubled times, and cannot tolerate the slightest useless mercy.

Looking back on the past, leading a hundred horsemen to break through ten thousand battles, the Battle of Bishan, and the fierce battle of Fenzhou are still vivid, all of which seem to be like a dream......

Behind him, there was a tall armorer carrying a tall and long gong iron lance, and another one, holding a high-character handsome banner with a silver dragon pattern on a black background, pulled by the north wind, hunting sound, full of majesty. The army directly under the command of Gao Changgong is naturally the elite left by the last Fenzhou War, and the personal soldiers surrounding him are the elite of the elite, the armor on the body, the knife hanging on the waist, all of them are high-quality, and the war horses under the crotch are mostly good horses, extremely tall, thick and thick mane, short-tempered, steady pace when moving, large span, and excellent appearance. In the past two years, the emperor has stopped building temples and palaces, and nearly half of the taxes have gone to the army, and the Qi people now have the fastest horses and the sharpest swords. Hu Luguang and Gao Changgong are on the border, so they naturally have to be given priority.

The people, the people, and the soldiers on the road saw the general's horse team, and they stopped to avoid it, and the soldiers stood still until the general's figure left, and then the team patrolled again, and there were also some stragglers who did not need to patrol and went out of the camp to rest and talked to each other, "Alas, I feel that Zhou Guo is like that, we fought all the way from Funiu Mountain, and almost did not encounter any obstacles." I'm really going to have a bird......"

"That's it, follow the general, where are there still battles that can't be won? It's that Luyang is strictly guarded, and he was taken down by General Fan for a few days? I'm just worried that this battle will end too soon......

"Are you lacking in heart? Everyone is eager to win the battle of the Zhou State and go home to marry a wife and have children, you are good. ”

"Can we be like the other soldiers? At the beginning, we were not all private soldiers of the family, and then we were recruited by the Holy Lord as a forbidden army, our family background is not good, there are old and young, a large number of people are waiting to feed with their mouths open, how can we not make more military achievements? ”

"It makes sense......

"But it's not, it's only a few days to take Zheyang, and it didn't take long to take Zhezhou, Yizhou has reinforcements to rescue, and we have swept it clean, General Wei attacked from the east, and it didn't take much effort to take Nanyang and Luyang, according to this way of playing, you have to take Xiangyang in two days, right? It's going to be too easy......"

"Whatever, it doesn't matter if there is more or less military merit, anyway, we won, I want to go home early now......"

Such discussions have been brought up a lot in these days.

"The army's heart has begun to slacken," Gao Changgong sighed faintly, and there was a kind of anxiety in his calm face, "This way, our army is indeed too smooth, so smooth that I sometimes wonder if I have fallen into someone's trap......"

"Don't worry, general, even the battle is the best way to raise morale, according to the last general, now our army's morale is booming, if you send troops south at this time, you will definitely be able to defeat the Zhou army!"

"But the arrogant soldiers will be defeated...... Gao Changgong shook his head and said: "It is indeed a good thing to raise morale in the battle of Lianjie, but it also depends on what kind of battle and what kind of victory, I will say so, before we fight Xiangyang, it is still unknown whether our army will win or lose." ”

"If you don't take Xiangyang, everything is nothing, how much land you have taken will have to be spit back sooner or later, and if you take Xiangyang, I can say that I am invincible." Gao Changgong said with a serious expression, "Pass the order, the army will rest for a day, and after a day, I will personally lead the army to attack Xiangyang!" ”

The generals were shocked, "General, our army's logistics support is not enough to support tens of thousands of siege field battles, generals think twice!" ”

"General, by all means, according to the opinion of the last general, we should continue to rest in Nanyang for a while, and wait until everything is ready before talking about going south to Xiangyang......"

"That's right, our army is not on a firm foothold now......"

Gao Changgong's handsome face flashed a fierce color, and the generals were instantly silent, and after a while, Gao Changgong waved his horse whip and drove the war horse to turn around in front of them, looking at the generals:

"Wait for the time, the time will not come by itself, the time will ask us to find it, it is often like this, we wait here and wait for everything to be ready, but the time has slipped away......!"

"I don't know if it's been too smooth these days for you all to be so proud and arrogant! But are you really sure that you can take Xiangyang? You don't have ......, instead of standing still here, it's better to touch Zhou Jun first and see if they are hard or soft! ”

All the generals were silent, when they held a small meeting in Nanyang to make a decision, the general obviously said it himself, worried that the step was too big, and he had to stabilize it first, stick to the front line of Nanyang, and wait for everything to be ready to launch an attack. I don't know why it suddenly changed again.

And the generals' reactions were naturally taken into Gao Changgong's eyes, he said:

"I just got the news that Your Majesty has decided to send another army as a response to our army, and Wang Lin is here.

Before this, the army could not be transferred south at this time, and I would only take a few thousand soldiers.

Ladies and gentlemen, the situation is far from being as optimistic as we thought, and before Yuwen moves us directly, I will beat him up first! ”
