Chapter 522: The Fleeing Liu Bei

At night, the defenders who had been besieged in Yecheng for a long time finally gave up this lonely city that was running out of food and grass.

Gao Jiong divided six cavalry troops and attacked the siege troops besieging the city in six different directions, disturbing the line of sight.

Han Chuhu is also a veteran of Zhao Long's forces, and his loyalty is very high. After Zhao Long's death, the first thing he thinks about is not to surrender, but to break through.

If Chutian died in battle, most of the generals who followed Chutian a few years ago would also choose the same way.

Originally, Chutian ordered people to dig ditches and besiege the defenders of Yecheng, but the cold winter made the water freeze, and the cavalry of the defenders could directly cross the ice!

"Stop them!"

Countless fire dragons appeared, and the troops besieging Ye City fought with the defenders who broke out of the city. The two sides fought in the dark, and the battle was extremely fierce.

The siege troops who besieged Yecheng were not vegetarians, they had considered that the defenders would break through stubbornly.

After all, Zhao Long handed Ye City to these three people for defense, which means that Zhao Long trusts these three people.

Therefore, after Zhao Long was killed, the probability of the three of them choosing to break through was even greater!

Flowing arrows splashed in the night, cavalry and infantry scuffled, and there were shouts of killing everywhere.

Gao Jiong was calm, and in order to hide people's eyes and ears, he didn't ask people to light the torches, but used the brazier and torches set up by the siege troops to determine the direction.

Han Chuhu is like a wolf king in the dark night, taking the lead and killing the enemies who stand in front of him.

Anyone who stands in his way will only be stabbed to death by him!

"The hooves there are rushing, it may be the direction of the breakout!"

When Chen Qingzhi returned to Yecheng, he did not judge based on the light of the fire, but based on the sound of the horse's hoofs, he judged the real breakthrough direction of Gao Jiong, Shen Pei, Han Zhanhu and others!

Maybe even the strategists can't do it. Only the generals who often command the cavalry can distinguish the subtle differences in the sound of horses' hooves in the noisy battlefield.

Obviously, Chen Qingzhi's judgment was correct. Gao Jiong used a small trick, which was to deliberately extinguish the torch and hide his whereabouts.

The other six divisions held high torches to attract the attention of the siege troops.

seven pieces,

Six are pawns, and only one is "handsome" to keep!

Gao Jiong's strategy almost succeeded, and Chen Qingzhi led the white-robed cavalry to pursue them.

"quick!"

Han Jhanhu is also a battle-hardened cavalry general, and he is all too familiar with the sound of horse hooves.

He could sense that Chen Qingzhi's white robe army was approaching.

Han Zhanhu himself is also a tiger general. He rushed all the way, his spear rolled up and down, and the cavalry who dared to block him all fell under his spear!

"General Han, wait for me..."

Shen Pei rode a war horse and followed closely behind the cavalry of Han Capture Tiger.

There were shouts of killing in all directions on the battlefield, and it was chilling. Shen Pei was involved in the battlefield, and only then did he know the horror of the battlefield.

The sword is ruthless, and anyone can be killed!

From time to time, cavalrymen were shot by stray arrows, and Shen Pei gritted his teeth and forcibly broke through with the force of civilian officials.

He also wants to take revenge for the master and his friend Zhao Long. Besides death, there are still princes in the world who can take refuge and have the opportunity to take revenge.

Therefore, Shen Pei told himself that he must not die here!

"Zhao Long, we have been friends for seven years, we must not let you die in vain...!"

The trial pair gritted their teeth.

Suddenly, an arrow hit Shen Pei's back, and Shen Pei made a muffled sound.

There was a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth.

"I can't die, never!"

The trial has the mentality of revenge. At this time, the urge to survive is extremely strong, and I want to avenge Zhao Long!

Han Chahu was in a hurry and rushed to the front, getting farther and farther away from Shen Pei. With Shen Pei's force, it was impossible to break out of the siege without Han Chanhu's personal protection.

There are several stream arrows in the trial match.

Shen Pei hit a few arrows in a row, and the war horse was still galloping, but Shen Pei's eyes lost their luster.

He could never get revenge.

"kill!"

Relying on Gao Jiong's strategy and his own force, Han Chuhu killed dozens of people in a row, taking advantage of the chaos on the battlefield to stand out from the siege.

"You two, we're safe now..."

When Han Chuhu was in the melee, he was hit by two arrows, but when Han Chuhu turned around, he found that Gao Jiong and Shen Pei did not keep up in time...

In addition to Han Chuhu, the other two civil servants are gone...

"Is this life?"

Seeing that Gao Jiong and Shen Pei, who advocated breaking through the siege, were surrounded by chasing troops, Han Zhanhu went back to rescue them.

Han Chuhu could only accept his fate and lead the cavalry to leave alone.

He was also injured in the melee and was narrowly left behind.

The battle that broke out near Yecheng came to an end, and the next day, after the defenders of Yecheng lost their leader, they raised the white flag and surrendered.

In any case, Ye City ran out of food and grass, and if they did not surrender, hundreds of thousands of people would starve to death.

Chutian marched towards Handan, but Xia Xia Liang stayed behind and accepted the surrender of Ye City.

Yecheng's popularity is extremely low, only 12 (full value is 100).

Chutian attacked with water, destroying the morale and will of the defenders, and at the same time besieging Yecheng with river water, causing Yecheng people to hate Chutian forces.

At 12:00, it may take two or three years for people's hearts to return to normal levels.

Water and fire are ruthless, these two tactics are generally not easy to use.

"During the melee last night, according to the prisoner's account, the defender Han Zhanhu led the cavalry to break out, and the defender was in the melee and was shot by random arrows..."

After Xia Xia Liang recovered his spirits, he coordinated the recovery of Ye City.

After a melee, the trial and match died.

"Shen Pei died in battle. With his friendship with Zhao Long, he will never surrender to us."

Xia Xia Liang knew Shen Pei's personality, as well as Shen Pei's friendship with Zhao Long.

She ordered Chen Qingzhi and Zhao Yun to kill Zhao Long, and Shen Pei was caught and would hardly surrender.

If Trial surrenders in this situation, he is not Trial.

"Where is Gao Jiong?"

Xia Xia Liang cared more about Gao Jiong than the killed trial partner and the escaped Han Jhan Hu.

Gao Jiong, the first civil servant in the reign of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, presided over the extermination of Chen, unified the whole country, and was an absolute imperial civil servant.

It's a pity that Zhao Long didn't have time to consolidate his own strength, otherwise, with Gao Jong's internal affairs ability, Yang Su's commander, and a group of generals such as Shi Wansui, Han Jiehu, Hu Luguang, Lanling King, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, etc. as minions, Zhao Long established a foothold in Hebei, the consequences will be disastrous.

However, no if.

Zhao Long has been killed.

Li Xiuning replied: "Gao Jiong tried to break out of the siege and was captured alive in the melee. Now he is a prisoner. The one who captured Gao Jiong is the White Pao Army."

"Bring it."

"Yes."

"The three main generals, one was captured, the other broke through, and the other was killed. The melee last night was indeed very chaotic."

Summer Liang is quite satisfied with this result.

Soon Gao Jiong was brought, Gao Jiong was a middle-aged man.

However, at this time, Gao Jiong's nose was blue and his face was swollen, and it was obvious that he was severely beaten by the white robe army during the melee.

"The plan to break through last night must have come from your hands?"

Xia Xia Liang looked at this first civil servant in the era of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. At the same time, Gao Jiong's resourcefulness was not low, and he could also command soldiers.

The Chutian forces were not short of civil servants, and the civil servants came from various dynasties.

Sang Hongyang, the civil servants of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Jiang Dongliang, the civil servants of Sun Quan, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, the civil servants of Emperor Taizong and Li Shimin, and so on.

Now he has captured Gao Jong, a prime minister of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian.

Historically, Gao Jong's later years were not very peaceful, because Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty killed the great hero of the era of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty.

If a prince gets a high rank, then basically you don't have to worry about internal affairs.

This is almost the same as getting Li Kui and others.

Of course, the more civil servants, the better, but there will be a marginal diminishing effect.

After Gao Jiong was brought, his mind was calm, he did not give up on himself, nor was he afraid.

Xia Xia Liang tried to recruit Gao Jiong to surrender: "Now, Hebei is owned by me, so why not surrender, and unify the world in the future is also for the people."

Gao Jiong's tone was calm: "My lord was killed by you, how can you easily surrender?"

Xia Xia Liang said: "Victory and defeat are common affairs in military affairs. Since you choose to fight in the Central Plains, you should have the consciousness of wrapping your body in horse leather. If Zhao Long was not killed in Fukouxing, then it would be me. As a minister, you should be loyal to Zhao Long, but not Foolish loyalty."

Gao Jiong was silent: "Please give me some time next time."

"Can."

The coolness of summer makes people take the high chin down.

Some people have to give them the steps to go down in order to be logical.

At present, the Chutian forces are really not very short of civil servants.

Yecheng surrendered to the city, and the army was able to enter the city, count the population of Yecheng, and appease the civilians.

In Handan, Chutian moved forward cautiously to avoid being ambushed.

The elite division was taken away by Xia Xia Liang, and Le Yi's offensive corps suffered great losses due to the storming of Ye City, and all recruits were recruited.

Therefore, Liu Bei and Wang Meng cannot be rushed to pursue.

As expected, Wang Meng was ambushing soldiers on the way, but was found by the Iron Eagle scouts who were searching carefully, and the ambush soldiers left in a hurry.

When Chu Tian arrived in Handan, Handan's defenders had disappeared.

Liu Bei's regiment left Handan with soldiers, gold and silver, weapons, and war horses.

Because the number of people that can be teleported by the teleportation array is limited at one time, Liu Bei led the most elite soldiers to leave, and the rest of the soldiers went to other large cities and teleported to the designated place.

The teleportation array also needed gold and silver. Liu Bei couldn't take away all the most important population, and the population basically stayed in Handan and various cities.

"Immediately divide the troops, take each city, and minimize losses."

Chutian already knew in advance Chen Xi's plan for Liu Bei.

He can't stop Chen Xi's amazing plan, leaving the population is enough. As for the soldiers, try to intercept them as much as possible, after all, the number of soldiers sent in a day is limited.

As long as there are production factors such as land and population, the power can continue to expand.

"Liu Bei, is he going to Yizhou or Jingzhou?"

The only thing Chutian could not be sure of was the specific whereabouts of Liu Bei.

According to Chutian's judgment, only the chaotic Yizhou has room for Liu Bei to operate.

Yang Shilang's Jingzhou, a dominant one, managed to overthrow Liu Biao and drive Sun Jian away, and would not allow Liu Bei to occupy the magpie's nest. Tong Sparrow and Sun Jian's Jiangdong will not allow Liu Bei to intervene.

As for Jiaozhou, which is farther away, Liu Bei may be interested, but it is more difficult for Jiaozhou to unify the Eastern Han Dynasty than Yizhou, Jingzhou, and Yangzhou.

In Mianzhu, Yizhou, a historical assassin assassinated the local county magistrate. A team of free players ordered by others occupied the teleportation formation and welcomed Liu Bei into Mianzhu.

The garrison in Mianzhu wanted to counterattack, but the first few hundred people sent by Liu Bei's forces were Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and a team of Youzhou cavalry, blocking the alley and killing the garrison who came to snatch the teleportation formation!

In the rear, more and more soldiers from Jizhou appeared.

Finally, Liu Bei, Wang Meng, Chen Xi, Hu Luguang, Lanling King and others walked out of the teleportation formation.

Borrowing chickens to lay eggs has always been a feature of Liu Bei's forces, and was played to perfection by Chen Xi.

"Second brother, third brother, let's help Yizhou Mu to resist the enemy from Jingzhou, don't start killing."

Liu Bei attempted to occupy Mianzhu in a relatively peaceful manner.

Chen Xi said: "My lord, don't think about the love of the same clan at this time. Liu Yan is seriously ill and his son's aptitude is mediocre. The lord should replace him in order to restore the Han family."

Wang Meng and Chen Xi had already discussed the lines to persuade Liu Bei in private in advance.

Chen Xi persuaded again: "We occupied Mianzhu without Liu Yan's permission, and we have already enmity with Liu Yan. Even if Liu Yan reuses the lord and resists Yang Shilang and Zhang Dao, the lord must be prepared to replace him."

Liu Bei finally said: "I will present to the Yizhou Shepherd, assist the Yizhou Shepherd, reject Zhang Dao in the north and Yang Shilang in the east, and hope that the Yizhou Shepherd can be accommodated."

Soon, Liu Bei sent envoys to ask Liu Yan, who was seriously ill, to be stationed in Mianzhu to help Liu Yan defend against foreign enemies.

After Liu Yan was seriously ill, he was too tired to preside over the defense of Yizhou, and Liu Bei had already forcibly occupied Mianzhu. Liu Yan had no choice but to admit Liu Bei's position in Mianzhu because Chen Xi and Wang Meng bribed officials in Yizhou in advance. If he does not admit it, Liu Bei will not leave Mianzhu either. Mianzhu is not far from Chengdu, and Liu Bei may attack Chengdu at any time.

Yizhou became the most chaotic state in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty.

In addition to Liu Yan, who was seriously ill, there was also a foreign prince, Liu An, who was stationed in Zitong. When he learned that Liu Bei was coming, his face changed.

When Liu Bei arrived, he planned the whole Yizhou. Liu Yan needed Liu An to resist Zhang Dao from Hanzhong, but when Liu Bei arrived, Yizhou was completely in chaos!

Liu An planned to raise troops to attack his son Liu Zhang after Liu Yan died of illness and replace him.

"Maybe I can join forces with Zhang Dao and would rather give Yizhou to Zhang Dao than Liu Bei..."

Liu An is very upset now that Yizhou, which originally belonged to him, is likely to be taken away by Liu Bei.

After the end of the Battle of Jingkang, Yang Shilang, the prefect of Nanjun, personally commanded 200,000 Jingzhou troops along the Yangtze River and quickly headed north.

Berkshire, a burly general, forced the local officials to revolt and responded to the Jingzhou army.

For a time, a great earthquake occurred in Yizhou, and people panicked.

Yizhou, a state, involved all the forces of Liu Yan, Liu An, Zhang Dao, Yang Shilang, and Liu Bei.

This does not include Mu Ke, who is quietly developing in the South-Central region.

Although Mu Ke is not very strong, any prince who occupies Yizhou must give her face, otherwise the Nanzhong area will rebel, and as a shepherd of Yizhou, she will definitely feel a headache.

"Liu Bei, why did he come to Yizhou!"

Yang Shilang saw that Liu Yan was seriously ill, and Yizhou was at his fingertips. As a result, at this time Liu Bei moved to Yizhou, Yang Shilang's mentality collapsed, and the topographic map of Xishu on the case table was swept away.

After Liu Bei's forces disgusted a group of princes in the north, they went to the south to disgust him.
