I’m The King

Chapter 522: : Arrive in the river

A few days after leaving Shannan County, Gao Yuan's tribes appeared in Changshou County, Hejian County.

After retreating from Tan Feng, Ye Zhen led the 3,000 tribes guarding Jishi City and Zheng Xiaoyang’s tribe who returned from the Donghu battlefield. A total of more than 5,000 people rushed directly into Hejian County. Phi Mo, basically without any effective resistance, brought most of Hejian County's territory under the control of the Eastern Army. Changshou County is less than fifty miles away from Hejian County. This is the last Yan Shenghao can control. Of the site.

Hejian County is a place that Gaoyuan must win. In the past two years, Gaoyuan has been trying to weaken the power of Hejian County. After several contests, the vital power of Hejian County has basically been wiped out. The opponent's resistance is not too much.

Of course, Hejian County is also the capital of a county no matter what, the city is tall and strong. Although Yan Shenghao has lost most of his elite army, the remaining part, plus the temporary deployment of young and strong, is still not tolerated. Underestimated the power, the field is not enough, but there is no problem defending the city.

This is also the reason why Ye Zhen did not launch an offensive after he arrived in Changshou County and cut off all the external passages of Hejian County. The strong attack may be able to win, but it will inevitably cause greater casualties, and a large number of The casualties were unacceptable to Gao Yuan, and the next battle against Donghu was when Gao Yuan needed to work hard.

Gao Yuan led more than 3,000 cavalry troops to reach Changshou, so that the military strength of the Zhengdong Army in Hejian County suddenly increased, and the morale of the Zhengdong Army immediately jumped to a new level. A day later, Gao Yuan took Ye Zhen and appeared under Hejian County for the first time.

The high-character flag fluttered in the wind, and the sturdy cavalry rushed along the city wall unscrupulously, making dismissive gestures at the guards on the city, but Yan Shenghao, who had heard the news, had no intention of fighting and had a sad face He was trembling slightly as he watched the army of the East Army converging in the distance.

This is a force that he cannot resist. Several battles with the Eastern Army all ended in his fiasco, and the Eastern Army really frightened him.

There were also 20,000 troops temporarily conscripted in the city. When Zhou Yu passed through Hejian County, he had left him a battalion of 500 veterans, and let him use this as a skeleton to build a new army. , But the conquest army came too fast, although the army skeleton was set up, but there was no time for training. The combat effectiveness can be imagined.

What’s more serious is that most of these temporarily conscripted troops come from surrounding counties and townships, and these places have now become the territory of the East Army. In other words, the families of these soldiers are now Under the control of the Eastern Army. Under such circumstances, morale can be imagined.

The military spirit is floating and the soldiers have no fighting spirit. During this time, it has become the most important topic in the city. Every day, there are always several deserters in the city. Even if the officers suppressed it strongly, they did not suppress this trend.

"Gao Yuan came in person. How can we fight this battle?" Yan Shenghao trembled. Looking back at the surroundings, experienced generals had already lost all of them to their opponents in the previous few contests, and they can still support them now. Only his son Yan Peng was left in the general situation. And a cadre is even more unremarkable.

To describe the current Hejian County in four words is a panic. Even Tan Feng and Zhou Yu were defeated by Gao Yuan's men. They had to sign an alliance under the city before they withdrew from Liaoxi in embarrassment. What would Hejian County use to resist their opponents?

After the city's conquest of the East Army took off, it slowly retreated, but under the city, there was still a panic. The camp set up by the East Army was only a few miles away from the county town. The large camp built on the hill and even the fence was there. No establishment. Obviously, they didn't pay attention to the Hejian County soldiers at all, and they calculated that the other party did not have the guts to attack the camp.

"Ye Zhen, if I want to attack, how much loss would I have?" Gao Yuan looked at the model of Hejian County City in front of him, which was made of yellow clay, and turned to ask Ye Zhen next to him.

"The city of Hejian County is three feet high and one foot wide. There is a Tibetan army building and Wengcheng every fifty meters. The city defense facilities are extremely complete. This is mainly due to the fact that we have dealt a great blow to Hejian County in the past two years. It prompted Yan Shenghao to strengthen the construction of the city defense. According to the information sent by the spies in the city, there are now more than 20,000 soldiers in the city, of which about 4,000 are elite. This is also the last force of Yan Shenghao. The new recruits are about 15 thousand. There were more than a thousand people, and the officers who led these recruits actually came from the Standing Army of the State of Yan. These people were left by Zhou Yu to Yan Shenghao, about 500 people, and they control half of the new army. But now I heard that these recruits are extremely unstable. , You also know that Hejian County is the only county left to win."

Gao Yuan listened to Ye Zhen Zishao and couldn't help but laughed, "Zhou Yu knows that he can't stop me from taking Hejian, but he still wants to disgust me. Is he expecting five hundred people to turn decay into magic and keep me in the river? Under the county town?"

"General Gao, if we fight hard, even if our combat power is far better than our opponents, I am afraid we will have to pay more than 3,000 people." Ye Zhen reminded Gao Yuan: "This is not something we can bear. Siege warfare has always been It's piled up with human lives."

"So I'm not going to fight hard!" Gao Yuan smiled: "In the future, we may experience cruel siege wars, but now, I don't want to. The total number of troops in our conquest of the East can not afford to be damaged, let alone. It is for such a city."

"Then how are you going to take down Hejian County?" Ye Zhen asked puzzledly.

Gao Yuan did not answer his question, but turned his head to look at Wu Ci'an on the other side, "Master Wu, I have been traveling all the way from Baokang and saw the newly occupied place by our army, in order, and the government in the newly occupied land, no matter what. Whether it is the common people, they have accepted this fact calmly, and you have taken great credit for it!"

Wu Ci'an owed and said, "The general is utterly praised. This is mainly because the strategy of conquering the East Mansion is proper. There are policies in place, so I can operate freely at the bottom."

"You don't have to be so humble." Gao Yuan shook his head and said: "When you were still in Baokang, your policies were very targeted and had a strong effect on pacifying the people. What do the people need most? They are most at ease, of course, land. They have land in their hands, so they don’t panic in their hearts. Master Wu, I’m curious, how did you distribute the land smoothly without causing backlash from the local gentry?"

"The news of the coming of the Eastern Army has actually been heard. Those rich and powerful have basically swept away and fled. I am afraid that they are in the county in front of us, and they are left behind. It’s not a big head." Wu Ci settled down, "The biggest thorn is gone, so it’s much easier to handle. Those who stayed, we promised them to join the world trade, and the excess fields in their hands, we took appropriate Of course, we didn’t have the money, but Cao Tiancheng, the boss of Cao, allowed them to use this money as their share capital in Sihai Trade, and the matter was solved. The situation of land mergers in Hejian County is particularly serious. People who don’t even have a ridge of land suddenly have their own land. The government has issued them a land deed in black and white. How can they not be happy? Naturally, they have the first sense of belonging to the Zhengdong Mansion. Now What they fear most is that we can't win. If we lose, these land deeds in their hands will be a piece of waste paper."

Gao Yuan laughed. Land policy, in China, is really unprofitable. Wu Ci'an's words reminded him of the local tyrants and land divisions that happened in another world, what he did now, and what happened in that era. The same is true. And in this agriculture-oriented world, this policy is more lethal.

"Ye Zhen, immediately send someone to check and find out which families in the surrounding areas have recruited soldiers, and invite all these people here. Note, yes, please take care of your food and don’t let people freeze. In short, let these people appear in the city full of energy, and let the soldiers see their families. Secondly, let Mr. Wu take charge and write some leaflets describing the current situation in the surrounding areas of Hejian County and shoot them into the city. , Let those soldiers know what has changed in their hometown now."

"General, these people are afraid that they are not literate!" Wu Ci'an said embarrassingly.

"It doesn't matter. Not everyone is illiterate. These flyers are shot in every day. As long as you have a few literate people, these news will spread ten times, ten times a hundred times. Godsend, you don’t have some subordinates. Are you in the city? Find a way to contact them and let them promote the progress of this matter." Gao Yuan smiled and said: "Twenty thousand people are, if 15,000 of them get agitated, I would like to see, Yan Shenghao still has There is no confidence to hold the Hejian County City."

"Are you going to make an emergency landing on Yan Shenghao?" Ye Zhen asked.

"If Yan Shenghao is willing to surrender." Gao Yuan said: "I will give him a good treatment, and even give him a noble position in the Eastern Army. We will win many places in the future. It is impossible for every place. It’s also a good choice to lead troops to fight, or to make people truly surrender."

Ye Zhen and Wu Ci'an are all thoughts.

"Master Wu, after taking Hejian County, are you interested in becoming the county guard of Hejian County?" Gao Yuan suddenly changed the topic and asked Wu Ci'an dumbfounded. For the first time, Wu Ci'an almost thought that I heard it wrong. Although Gao Yuan and his Zhengdong Army are in the limelight~www.wuxiaspot.com~, they really want to talk about the site, but only the two counties of Liaoxi and Hejian, and according to what he saw in the East Mansion. According to the internal report, the county guard in the west of Liaoning was led by Gao Yuan, Ye Zhong led the armed forces, and Zheng Jun was in charge of the people’s livelihood and civil affairs. Now the political center of the Zhengdong Mansion is held by Changshi Jiang Jiaquan, and the city guard is held by Wu Kai. This is all Gao Yuan’s confidant, and he, a guy who surrendered halfway, and was not willing to cooperate at the beginning, he did not expect that Gao Yuan would intend to take up the post of Hejian County. But he entered directly into the core management of Zhengdong Mansion.

Seeing Wu Ci'an dumbfounded, Gao Yuan smiled and said, "You are from Hejian County, and you are known for your prestige. There are not a few people who want to come to Hejian County to know your reputation. If you take up this position, you will reduce the voice of opposition to it. At the lowest level, of course, what I value more is your ability. Yan Shenghao only used you as a county magistrate, which really wronged you."

Wu Ci'an stayed for a while, and finally reacted. He is also an extremely bachelor, and he did not make false claims. He directly moved towards Gaoyuan and said, "If Ci'an can take up this position, he will definitely live up to the general's expectations. Within three years, I will make Hejian County the most stable territory for the East Army." (To be continued.
