I’m The King Chapter 522: : Arrive at Hejian

A few days after leaving Shannan County, Gao Yuan led his troops to appear in Changshou County, Hejian County.

After being forced to retreat from Tanfeng, Ye Zhen led the 3,000 troops guarding Jishi City and Zheng Xiaoyang's troops who had returned from the Donghu battlefield. , Xiang Pimo, basically did not have any effective resistance, and brought most of the territory of Hejian County into the control of the Eastern Zheng Army. Changshou County is less than 50 miles away from Hejian County, which is also Yan Shenghao. The territory that can finally be controlled.

Hejian County is a place that Gao Yuan must win. In the past two years, Gao Yuan has been trying to weaken the strength of Hejian County. After several battles, the vitality of Hejian County has basically been wiped out. Exhausted, the opponent's resistance is not too much.

Of course, no matter what, Hejian County is also the capital of a county. The city is tall and strong. It is still a force that should not be underestimated. It is not enough in field battles, but there is still no problem in defending the city.

This is also the reason why after Ye Zhen arrived in Changshou County, he divided his troops and cut off all the external channels of Hejian County, but did not launch an attack for a long time. A strong attack may be able to win, but it will inevitably cause greater casualties. However, the large number of casualties is unacceptable to Gao Yuan. The next battle against Donghu is when Gao Yuan needs to work hard.

Gao Yuan led more than 3,000 cavalry to Changshou, which suddenly strengthened the military strength of the Zhengdong Army in Hejian County, and the morale of the Eastern Zheng 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 galloped along the city wall recklessly, making dismissive gestures at the guards on the city, but Yan Shenghao, who heard the news, was not at all unwilling to fight Meaning, with a frowning face, he looked at the Zhengdong army that was gathering in the distance, and his body trembled slightly.

It was a force he could hardly resist. Several times of confrontation with Zhengdong Army ended in his disastrous defeat, Zhengdong Army really scared him.

There are 20,000 troops temporarily conscripted in the city, and when Zhou Yu passed through Hejian County, he left him a battalion of 500 veterans and asked him to use this as a skeleton to build an army. The new army, but the Eastern Expedition Army came too fast. Although the army skeleton was set up, there was no time for training. The fighting power can be imagined.

What's more serious is that most of these temporarily recruited troops come from surrounding counties and townships, and these places have now become the territory of the East Conquest Army. In other words, the families of these soldiers, Now they are all under the control of Zhengdong Army. Under such circumstances, morale can be imagined.

The morale of the army is fluctuating and the soldiers have no fighting spirit. During this period of time, it has become the most important topic in the city. Every day in the city, there will always be several desertion incidents.

"Gao Yuan came here in person. How can we fight this battle?" Yan Shenghao said tremblingly. The only general who can support the overall situation is his son Yan Peng. And a cadre official is even more pale.

To use four words to describe the current Hejian County City, people are panic. Even Tan Feng and Zhou Yu were defeated by Gao Yuan's men, and they had to sign an alliance under the city, so they quit Liaoxi in embarrassment. What can Hejian County do to resist their opponents?

After showing off their might, the Eastern Conquering Army under the city retreated slowly, but the city was still terrified. The camp set up by the Eastern Conquering Army was only a few miles away from the county town. They didn't even set up a fence. Obviously, they didn't pay much attention to the soldiers of Hejian County.

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

"The city of Hejian County is three feet high and one foot wide. There are Tibetan military buildings and Wengcheng every fifty meters. , This also prompted Yan Shenghao to strengthen the construction of the city defense. Judging from 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 Yan Shenghao's last force. There are more than 15,000 people, and the officers who lead these recruits are actually from the Yan State Standing Army. These people were left by Zhou Yu to Yan Shenghao. There are about 500 people, and they control half of the new army. But now I heard that these recruits are very emotional. Extremely unstable, as you know, only the county town is left in Hejian County."

Gao Yuan couldn't help laughing when he heard Ye Zhen's introduction, "Zhou Yu knows that he can't stop me from taking Hejian, but he still wants to disgust me. Could it be that he expects five hundred people to turn decay into magic and take me down?" Is it blocked under the city of Hejian County?"

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

"So I'm not going to fight hard!" Gao Yuan said with a smile: "In the future, we may experience cruel siege battles, but now, I don't want to. We have only this little force in the Eastern Army, and we can't afford to lose it." , let alone for such a city.”

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

Gao Yuan didn't answer his question, but turned to look at Wu Ci'an on the other side, "Master Wu, I came all the way from Baokang, and saw that the newly occupied place by our army is in good order and the government office in the newly occupied place Whether you are a commoner or not, you have calmly accepted this fact, and you deserve the greatest credit!"

Wu Ci'an bowed and said, "The general is absurd, this is mainly because the strategy of conquering the East Mansion is appropriate, there are policies, and I can operate freely when I am below."

"You don't need to be so self-effacing." Gao Yuan shook his head and said, "When you were still in health care, your policies were extremely targeted and had a strong effect on appeasing the people. What do the people need most? What can make them feel at ease, of course, is the land. If you have land in your hands, you won’t panic. Master Wu, I’m curious, how did you distribute the land smoothly without causing the local tyrants to retaliate?”

"The news that the Eastern Conqueror Army is coming has actually been spread a long time ago. Those rich and powerful tyrants have basically swept away and fled. Now I am afraid that they are in the county in front of us. Those who stay are not the big ones." Wu Ci settled down for a while, "It will be much easier to deal with the biggest thorns when the big ones are gone. For those who stay, we promise them to join the world business, and the extra land in their hands, we will We bought them at an appropriate price. Of course, we didn’t have the money, but Cao Tiancheng, boss Cao, allowed them to use the money as their share capital in Sihai Trading, and the matter was resolved. The land merger in Hejian County is particularly special. Seriously, those ordinary people who don't even have a ridge of land suddenly have their own land, and the government issued them a land deed in black and white. How can they not be happy? Naturally, they have their first ownership of Zhengdong Mansion Feeling, what they are most afraid of now is that we will not win, if we lose, these land deeds in their hands will become a piece of waste paper."

Gao Yuan laughed out loud. In China, the land policy is really unfavorable. What Wu Ci'an said reminded him of the fight against local tyrants and the distribution of land that happened in another world. What he is doing now, and that Much the same happened with the times. And in this agriculture-based world, the policy is even more lethal.

"Ye Zhen, immediately send someone down to check and see which homes around here have conscripted soldiers, and invite these people here, pay attention, please, the food must be full, and no one is allowed In short, let these people appear under the city refreshed, and let the soldiers see their families. The second point is to let Mr. Wu take charge of writing some leaflets describing the current situation in various places around Hejian County and shooting them into the city. Go to the city and let those soldiers know what has changed in their hometown."

"General, I'm afraid these people can't read!" Wu Ci'an said in embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter, not everyone is illiterate, these leaflets are shot in every day, as long as you have a few literate people, these news will spread to ten, ten to hundreds, godsend, you Isn't there some subordinates in the city, find a way to contact them and let them promote the progress of this matter." Gao Yuan said with a smile: "20,000 people, if 15,000 of them make a commotion, I would like to see, Does Yan Shenghao still have the confidence to defend Hejian County?"

"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 very good treatment, and even give him a distinguished position in the Eastern Conquest Army. We will win many places in the future, it is impossible It is also a good choice to lead troops to fight in every place, or to make people sincerely surrender."

Ye Zhen and Wu Ci'an are all thinking about it.

"Master Wu, after taking down Hejian County, are you interested in being the sheriff of Hejian County?" Wu Ci'an almost thought that he heard it wrong. Although Gao Yuan and his Zhengdong army are in the limelight~IndoMTL.com~, if we really want to talk about the territory, it is only the two counties of Liaoxi and Hejian, and according to what he saw in Zhengdong According to the internal report of the government, Gao Yuan is the governor of western Liaoning, Ye Zhong is in charge of the armed forces, Zheng Jun is in charge of the people's livelihood and civil affairs, and now the political center of the Zhengdong government is Jiang Jiaquan, the chief clerk, and Wu Kai is the city guard. In charge, this is Gao Yuan's confidant, and himself, a guy who surrendered halfway, and was not willing to cooperate at the beginning, he was forced to cooperate. He never thought that Gao Yuan would intend to take up the post of Hejian County Sheriff. This directly entered the core management of Zhengdong Mansion.

Seeing Wu Ci'an's stunned expression, Gao Yuan smiled and said: "You are from Hejian County, and you are well-known, and there are not a few people who know your reputation in Hejian County. If you take up this position, you will be opposed. Keep your voice to a minimum, of course, what I value more is your ability, Yan Shenghao only uses you as a county magistrate, it really wrongs you."

Wu Ci'an was stunned for a long while, and finally realized that he was also very bachelor, and he didn't make false claims, and directly bowed to Gao Yuan, "If Ci'an can hold this position, he will definitely live up to the general's expectations. In the meantime, I will make Hejian County the most stable site for the Eastern Conqueror Army." (To be continued.
