Chapter five hundred and seventeen.

During the Liberation War, our army was best at using mobile warfare and two sieges to siege the city and fight aid. Once, they ran through four wheels with two legs. This time, they attacked Gongsun Kang. Wang Hou used this strategy. He had more than 20,000 cavalrymen, and they directly spread to Xuantu County like mercury pouring out of the ground.

He didn't even have to attack the city, just robbed the village and cut people, which scared all the generals of Gongsun's family in Xuantu County so that they dared not come out of the county town. In three days, Wang Hou could do this strategic blockade.

If the Three Kingdoms were to sweep the ground as soldiers, Xuantu County could sweep out at least 40,000 troops, but the contacts of a county town were cut open, and officers and soldiers dared not leave the city, and local tribes were trapped in their own fortresses and did not dare to go out. The territory of a county was directly equivalent to none.

On the one hand, the Wuhuan people snatched some and filled their pockets, satisfying their strong desire to generate income. On the other hand, Wang Hou, who was carrying infantry, could be assured to siege the fortress of Xiangping, a strong castle.

It was about to start winter again. Once it was cold and snowing, it would be even more difficult for the Gongsun family army, mainly infantry, to rescue their capital.

Moreover, Wang Hou fought undeclaredly to block this point. The Gongsun family also stepped up their transport of grain to the city. However, although they knew that Wang Hou was coming to cut him, they did not declare war after all. The Gongsun family did not make up their minds to empty the surrounding county towns to supply the capital at any cost. The grain of the city with a population of 200,000 was consumed for a year, but they did not receive the grain and grass supplements left in only half of the territory. The grain reserves in Xiangping City also dropped to the extreme.

On September 12th, the army from Qingzhou set up a military camp for the second time under Xiangping City. This time, after all, there were only 50,000 people last time. This time, with the troops gathered in Lianjiao City, there were 80,000 people, and the siege of the city was even more powerful.

Two reinforced brigades in Liaodong and Zhang Yan's 20,000 troops were arranged by Wang Hou in the east of the city, the Island City Brigade, the Taishan Bow Corps, Liu Yi's military farming troops, and the recruited feudal militia were arranged by Wang Hou in the west of the city. The north of the city was vacant, but these two roads were the real dead end. Zhang Yan personally led the cavalry to wander away from the north of the city, and behind them were Wuqiu Jian, Yuwen Hong's Wuhuan cavalry, Dongfang, Zhao Yun led the Qingzhou Cavalry Regiment and the Liaodi Brigade four cavalry regiments to squat there.

And not only are there many people, this time, Wang Hou's preparations for siege are also particularly sufficient.

Fifty or sixty miles away is Ma'anshan, the "heavy industry" base in Liaodong! With the original forests of Liaodong and the best steel accessories, what can be produced?

Wang Hou's pride is the heavy Hui Cannon that has not been on the battlefield for a long time.

With the squeaking sound of the wood friction, the wheels of the two or three tons of reflux cannons were pressed down, and the ground was sank into the ground with ruts. The people were eight-carrying sedan chairs and four-horse carts. General Wood was more majestic than people. Ten strong cows were tugging in front, and fifty migrant workers were pushing in each seat behind. Twenty such giants pushed towards the city walls, which made the faces of the Gongsun family warriors guarding the city on the top of the city turn green.

However, Wang Hou still couldn't be happy about such a great advantage.

Several things have been weighing heavily on his heart.

Unlike the history of history when he was kicking his legs and braids before he returned to the court, perhaps Guo Jia and Wang Hou's bet lasted for this prodigal son for a while, but in the end he paid the price for his failure. A month ago, he passed away in Yecheng.

This guy was still vivid in his memory when he was eating and drinking in Xudu with a smile. What was even more memorable was that they followed Cao Cao to break into the palace with a sword, and hanged the imperial concubine in front of the dignified Han Emperor. Everyone was risking the death of killing the nine clans, and they would never forget that thrilling moment.

Now this guy is dead! Even in the battle of Ye, this guy has abandoned his old friend and tested him, but Wang Hou still felt empty in his heart.

However, personal feelings are one aspect, and the real political collapse is another aspect. There is an old saying in Chinese politics, saying that there are people in the court who are easy to be officials! He had always been with Guo Jia and Cao Cao as an ally in the Iron Triangle. Now that Guo Jia dies, the political alliance has been dissolved.

In the court, except for Zhong Yao as his friend, almost all the rest were staring at him. Yang Xiu hoped to win over him as a political force supporting the second prince Cao Zhi. Xun Yu tried to pull him onto the chariot to protect Han. In July this year, Cao Cao also abolished the Three Dukes and officially collected all the power to the Prime Minister's Mansion. He sharpened his sword and prepared the Xuanwu Pool, and pulled up most of the troops in the north. He sharpened his sword and planned to unify the entire world. Under such a complex political situation, Guo Jia was defeated, which was a fatal blow to Wang Hou.

So while the news spread to Liaodong through Qingzhou, Jia Xu, who stayed in the island city of Wang Hou, also attached a long letter.

He hoped to lead Wang Hou to abandon the Qingzhou Navy and the troops of Zang Ba in Taishan, and lead him to the south to assist in the battle, so as to obtain an official position in the center of the court and regain the role of Guo Jia.

The second suggestion was that he suggested that Wang Hou take the initiative to resign as the governor of Qingzhou!

After all, Wang Hou was in the northeast, and in front of the "king of barbarians" of the Han Dynasty, he still held a state in his hand. Qingzhou was fierce and Yecheng was not far away. In terms of power, he was already overweight. Later generations, Wang Hou's father drove a cart for transportation. He had never taken advantage of the oil for bribery, but the driver's unspoken rules were like this, and the boss still thought he was greedy. Even if Wang Hou was his son-in-law of Prime Minister Cao, it was hard to guarantee that Cao Cao would not doubt him.

However, everyone understands the truth, but after all, Qingzhou was created by Wang Hou. A hero can make a decision easily.

Therefore, now is not a good time to destroy Gongsun Kang in one go. The best strategy is to eat it up. First, it will destroy and embezzle the territory of the Gongsun family's Korean Peninsula, and then attack Xiangping, but Wang Hou couldn't wait.

The reply was written. He agreed to all the two major suggestions from Jia Xu, and handed over the command of the Rizhao Brigade of the island city treasury under the command of the veteran Zhu Ling to Jia Xu. However, the reply was also the Qingzhou seal, which he had not sent out for several days.

Today, the defense of Xiangping City was officially completed, but in addition to this matter, there was another thing that made him upset. He held the receipt at hand, which was full of sadness. He also had an old face and coaxed him to a brother-in-law who was carelessly rushing into his central army tent like a child.

"Ziwen! It's a great thing! The Prime Minister is about to raise the army to go south and unify the country! The Qingzhou army is now about to set off and meet with the Prime Minister. Now the army is missing a loyal and brave general in the army. Ziwen, brother-in-law will see you..."

"Don't go!"

Before Wang Hou could finish his fooling words, this guy had already shaken his head like a rattle. His look of beating made Wang Hou itch itchy.

"For the hair!"
