Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 508: Wise fight in the main world
In the main world, Bingzhou Taiyuan City, Li Mu tried to release the old, young, women and children in the city to reduce the food pressure in the city.
The commander-in-chief who surrounded Taiyuan City, Zhao Long's most trusted general, Yang Su, forbade him to drive the old, young, women and children back to the city.
Taiyuan City has run out of food and grass.
According to the unwritten rules between players, the war between the two sides will not go to the point of cannibalism. When the food and grass are cut off, either surrender or break through.
Huma went to fight, and Li Mu chose the latter according to Huma's orders.
At night, Li Mu led the defenders of Taiyuan City to break through the encirclement, broke through Yang Su's encirclement, passed through Yanmen, and fled to Monan.
The next day, Yang Su, the general left by Zhao Long, occupied Taiyuan City, and wiped out the remnants of Huma's forces in Taiyuan County, and replaced them all with his cronies.
So far, the Bingzhou Shepherd Huma forces exist in name only.
Huma has participated in the competition for the Hebei region many times. He has two famous generals of the Warring States Period, but he still lacks strategy. He missed a move and was eliminated by Zhao Long.
The commander in charge of pacifying Bingzhou was the first commander-in-chief of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Su, who entered Taiyuan County, and his reputation reached its peak.
The fierce general Shi Wansui was driven by Yang Su and acted as Yang Su's bodyguard.
"Zhang Yan, the commander of the Montenegrin Army, and many generals of the Montenegrin Army ask to see you!"
"Invite them to come see me."
Yang Su entered the lord's mansion in Taiyuan City, where Huma had accumulated a lot of wealth.
Soon, Zhang Yan of the Montenegrin Army, who was stubbornly backed, came to visit Yang Su with his troops.
Zhang Yan is also a fierce general, who has been in the Taihang Mountains for many years, but he has never been eliminated.
However, under the continuous attack of Zhao Long, Shi Wansui, and Han Chuhu, Zhang Yan was once captured by Shi Wansui, and has been loyal to Zhao Long.
Zhao Long ordered him to take charge of the Montenegrin Army and jointly attack the counties and counties of Bingzhou.
Behind Zhang Yan, is a group of generals of the Montenegrin Army, with a force between 60 and 90. They have various fancy nicknames, such as Zhang Baiqi, Zhang Feiyan, Zhang Leigong, Li Damu...
This group of generals of the Montenegrin Army did not even dare to breathe in front of Yang Su and Shi Wansui.
Shi Wansui is a five-tiger general, capturing Zhang Yan alive, making the Montenegrin army terrified.
Zhang Yan asked: "Where is the lord?"
"The lord is currently fighting in other places. According to the agreement between the lord and General Zhang, after the occupation of Bingzhou, General Zhang will be appointed as the prefect of Shangdang County.
After Zhao Long left, Yang Su temporarily assumed the role of Zhao Long to appease the Montenegrin Army.
Among the peasant armies of the late Han Dynasty, the Montenegrin Army numbered 100,000 and had considerable combat effectiveness.
Zhang Yan was overjoyed when she saw that Yang Su, the commander-in-chief left by Zhao Long, had granted her the post of prefect of Shangdang County as promised.
The rest of the generals of the Montenegrin Army were also appointed, and their loyalty increased for a while.
"However, if you want to secure your positions as prefect, magistrate, general, and captain, you need to do one more thing."
Yang Su's voice changed, making the generals of the Montenegro army, including Zhang Yan, silent.
Zhang Yan took the initiative to ask: "What's the matter?"
Yang Su said: "Ye City has been besieged for a long time, but within a month or two, the food and grass will run out, and it will fall like Taiyuan City. Therefore, Ye City must be saved."
Zhang Yan and the generals of the Montenegrin Army looked at each other in dismay. They also knew that Yecheng had been besieged by Yanzhou Mu Chu Zimou and Xuzhou Mu Xian Liang for a long time, and it was about to be broken.
If Zhao Long's forces perish, then their previous achievements will be forfeited, and the official positions they have obtained will also be in vain.
"Now we have troops from Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Jizhou, which are enough to solve the siege of Yecheng. Today, we have sent 100,000 troops from Youzhou, 100,000 soldiers from Bingzhou, 100,000 from Heishan, and 100,000 from Jizhou. The 400,000-strong army will go south to save Yecheng together with Liu Bei's army. Our army has a large number of generals, and the momentum is like a rainbow. If we plan a strategy to save Yecheng, we will be sure of everything. You must not guarantee your loyalty."
Yang Su is aloof and resolute, as if she can easily break the siege of Ye City, making everyone in the Montenegro Army believe in him.
Zhang Yan asked: "I don't know when to send troops?"
"The 400,000-strong army was assembled in Taiyuan, only waiting for the lord to return, and immediately head south, pass Fukouxing, and quickly defeat the enemy army that attacked Yecheng. As long as Yecheng is defended and Hebei is consolidated, even if Chu Zimou has thousands of troops, It is also difficult to capture our land in the three states.”
"Zhang Yan takes orders."
The general of the Montenegrin Army went down to reorganize his troops.
The troops of Youzhou, Bingzhou, and even Jizhou quickly gathered around Taiyuan City.
As an emperor-level commander, Yang Su has an amazing ability to dispatch troops, horses, and fodder. He has also subdued a group of generals from Bingzhou and prepared to relieve the siege of Yecheng.
If he successfully lifted the siege of Yecheng by the army from the south of the Yellow River, then Chutian would have to face the great forces of Youzhou, Jizhou, and Bingzhou, almost equivalent to Yuan Shao in the Battle of Guandu.
Xia Xia Liang, who was in charge of the siege of Ye City, was under enormous pressure, and she was also frantically dispatching troops to Ye City.
The situation between the two sides is similar to an arms race. It is a competition for who has more troops, more food and grass, and a better foundation.
"Pingyuan County and Qinghe Kingdom surrendered to their ally Wang Meng."
"Wang Meng's speed is so fast, it seems that Liu Bei intends to annex Tian Qi. Jizhou has nine prefectures, and now Liu Bei owns four, and the rest are owned by Zhao Long. The princes of Hebei, only the remaining Zhao Long and Liu Bei are gone."
Xia Xia Liang did not expect that Tian Qi would be killed in the Jingkang Rebellion, and Pingyuan County and Qinghe Kingdom (a gift from Zhao Long in order to win over Tian Qi), which belonged to Tian Qi, became unclaimed land.
After realizing that Tian Qi was killed in battle, Xia Xia Liang immediately sent people to the plain to win over the local defenders, but Liu Bei had long wanted to annex Tian Qi, and the lobbyist Su Qin in the plain (which Liu Bei gained from entering Youzhou) persuaded him Tian Dan, surrendered to Liu Bei.
As a representative of the Zongheng family, Su Qin has little lobbying effect on players, because players are not easily affected by Su Qin's ability, but NPCs are extremely easy to be persuaded by the Zongheng family.
Xia Xia Liang is even more afraid of Liu Bei's forces.
Liu Bei's perseverance is probably more terrifying than that of all the local princes and players, so he sent the characters of the Zongheng family to win over the talents of Jizhou.
Every special talent has its own special role, and Su Qin, the representative of the Zongheng family, is no exception.
"Liu Bei doesn't know how many talents he has secretly attracted. He is really a terrifying figure. No, just based on Liu Bei's ability, he shouldn't be able to do this. It should be the player behind Liu Bei, Chen Xi, who mainly planned it. Wang Meng and Su Qin are the executors."
Xia Xia Liang deduces the internal division of labor within Liu Bei's forces based on recent events.
If only Liu Bei is an NPC prince, then there is nothing to be afraid of, but there is a player military advisor behind Liu Bei, so its potential is much stronger than that of ordinary local princes. Liu Bei was able to endure humiliation and bear the burden constantly, and with a county, he began to turn around, just like his performance in Xinye.
During his tenure as the shepherd of Youzhou, Liu Bei gathered a group of talents from Youzhou, including the heroes of other dynasties recruited by various lords of Youzhou in the early stage, among them the Zongheng family Su Qin.
For this, Chutian forces are also aware of this.
It's just that the biggest enemy that Chutian forces face at present is Zhao Long, and Zhao Long's threat has overshadowed Liu Bei, who is hiding in the dark.
"Maybe Liu Bei is the biggest beneficiary of the princes in Hebei. Could it be...Mulan, the map."
Xiamen Liang suddenly thought of a possibility.
Hua Mulan took the map and spread it out on the desk. The map of the thirteen states marked each faction and military strength, which were intertwined.
The Chutian forces have carried out investigations on various forces, and have the ambition to annex the thirteen states.
"I think I understand Liu Bei's strategic intentions. Only Yi people have such crazy ideas."
Xia Xia Liang carefully scans the feudal lords that still exist throughout the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Tian Qi was killed in battle, the Huma forces existed in name only, and there were fewer and fewer princes in the entire Eastern Han region.
Mulan is puzzled: "Sister Xia, what exactly does Liu Bei want to do?"
"He is waiting for an opportunity. Whether Zhao Long wins or loses, he is a winner. Chen Xi is indeed a qualified military advisor, not only helping Liu Bei to gain a firm foothold in Hebei's fierce competition for hegemony, but also the potential of his forces It's getting bigger and bigger."
Xia Xia Liang has completely seen through Chen Xi and Liu Bei's plan.
Hua Mulan is still ignorant: "Whether you win or lose, you are a winner? Is there such a thing in the world?"
"If Zhao Long wins, Liu Bei can go south to capture Qingzhou. If Zhao Long loses, he will flee to the south. With his current team, it would be easier to make a comeback."
Xia Liang can't help but think of Liu Bei in the Xinye period.
In the battle of Cao Cao's crusade against Jingzhou, Liu Bei failed and annexed some of Jingzhou's troops, but in the battle of Chibi, Sun Quan won, and Liu Bei occupied part of Jingzhou's territory, but he was still the winner.
Liu Bei's ability to take advantage of the situation is extremely strong.
This time, Chen Xi estimates that he wants to make full use of Liu Bei's ability to make a gorgeous comeback.
"South? Where will he flee to the South?"
Hua Mulan looked at the map. In the south, there were only four prefectures, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou, and Jiaozhou, all of which were already entrenched by princes. It would be extremely difficult for Liu Bei to get involved.
"Out of ten..."
While Xia Xia Liang was discussing with Hua Mulan, Li Xiuning came in and reported to Xia Xia Liang: "Sir, the soldiers you recruited have arrived in Yecheng. In addition, there are 100,000 recruits recruited by various states and counties."
"Hmm."
"Please meet Xu Ziyuan, my advisor, and claim that Ye City can be taken down within ten days."
"Xu You? Let him come in to see me."
Soon, the anxious Xu You arrived, looking nervous.
"Xu Ziyuan, what's the matter?"
Xia Xia Liang knew that Xu You was also a somewhat capable strategist, and he was familiar with Hebei, so this time he had to rely on Xu You for the strategy of Hebei.
Xu You hurriedly said: "I heard that Taiyuan City has been captured by the Jizhou Army, Zhao Long's army is about to go south, and our army is in danger!"
"I have heard about the fall of Taiyuan City. Does Xu Ziyuan have a plan?"
Summer cool doesn't seem to be in a hurry.
Xu You said: "I know many people from aristocratic families in the city. Now the city of Ye is flooded, food and grass are about to be exhausted, and people are panicking. As long as I repair a few books, people will be shot into the city within ten days. There must be those who are afraid, who will open the door and offer the city."
"Within ten days... as expected of Xu Ziyuan, but we can't capture Yecheng so quickly."
"What, why is this?"
Xu You has a certain degree of confidence in his influence. He originally wanted to use his network in Yecheng to open the gate of Yecheng and welcome the army into the city, but in Xia Xia Liang's view, it seems that all he needs to do is surround Yecheng. That's it.
"The details will be explained to Ziyuan later. If nothing else, Ziyuan can go down."
Xia Tianliang was not at ease with Xu You, and did not elaborate.
Xu You's proposal was rejected, and he couldn't help but feel indignant.
Chu Tian asked a female streamer to besiege Yecheng. In Xu You's opinion, it was already absurd. Xia Xian Liang couldn't listen to his proposal, which made Xu You even more dissatisfied.
Cao Cao personally wore armor and held a lance, and led a team of tigers and leopards to patrol the periphery of Yecheng.
During the Battle of Jingkang, Wang Meng, Guan Yu, Hu Luguang and others tried to save Yecheng, but they were repelled by Cao Cao and Wei Qing.
Now Wei Qing is nowhere to be seen, and can only rely on Cao Cao, Zhou Yafu, and Chen Qingzhi to preside over the overall situation, worthy of blocking the combination of Wang Meng, Guan Yu, Hu Luguang and others.
Cao Cao saw Xu You's displeased face, so he came to ask.
"How can the lord give her the power of the general and political power because he favors a woman? Since ancient times, is it a joke?"
Xu You told Cao Cao his plan to take Yecheng, and Cao Cao laughed.
"Why is Ah Mo laughing?"
"I laugh at you, the Lord will not be in a hurry."
"Ah!"
"It's not that she doesn't want to take Ye City, it's just that the timing of breaking the city should be just right. If Zi Yuan had a way to take Ye City as soon as possible a few months ago, of course he would take it. But now is not the time."
"How could the siege party be reluctant to capture the city as soon as possible..."
As a strategist, Xu You gradually relieved after doubts and Cao Cao's guidance: "Well, you idiot, since you know what the Lord is thinking, why don't you discuss it with me and let me think for a while." /
"Hey, you didn't ask me, how can I answer you."
After Cao Cao put down the burden of the monarch, he and Xu You became brothers again. Anyway, both of them are working part-timers, so there is no need to calculate each other.
Gao Jong, Shen Pei, Han Zhanhu and others were in Ye City and realized that Ye City would soon fall.
"Food and grass can only last for a month. If there is no reinforcements within a month, we can only try to get out of the city. How many can escape?"
According to the instructions left by Zhao Long, Gao Jong told everyone the fact that Ye City was about to fall.
No matter how strong a city is, no matter how capable the defender is, it cannot defend without food.
Liangzhou, Hanyang County, counselor Jia Xu summoned Wang Jian, Xu Huang, Meng Wu, Li Jue, Guo Si and other generals in the name of Lao Qin.
Jia Xu ordered: "The next day, General Wang Jian, General Xu Huang, and General Meng Wu will divide their troops into three routes to attack Longxi. Two generals, Li Jue and Guo Si, will advance later."
Li Jue asked: "Longxi has many fortresses and castles, and the people's hearts desire. We attacked Longxi twice before, but both ended in failure. Why did we attack Longxi again and again this time?"
Jia Xu said: "Just follow the orders, our army will win this time."
"Here..."
Li Jue and Guo Si were also very convinced of Jia Xu.
Because Jiujiu Lao Qin attaches great importance to Jia Xu, Jia Xu is now the No. 2 figure in the Guanzhong Army.
At the same time ~IndoMTL.com~ Jia Xu is also a native of Wuwei County, Liangzhou, so he is also well-known among the Xiliang Corps and can convince the public.
Soon everyone left and assembled troops to attack Longxi.
Jia Xu left the commander Wang Jian alone.
"The strategist, my doubts are just like Li Jue and Guo Si. Why did the previous two attacks against Longxi fail, and this time the lord is not there, but the strategist organized the third offensive against Longxi? Could it be that this is before the lord leaves? , the command left?"
"Exactly."
"What are the odds?"
"Longxi's most prestigious lord, Xu Fengnian, is not there. As long as he lures him to his advantage, the interior of Longxi will collapse without a fight."
"A brilliant strategist."
When Wang Jian faced Jia Xu, he was also afraid of Jia Xu. Jia Xu tried to alienate him. It is estimated that this time Liangzhou resisted the most tenacious Longxi County will collapse.
In the face of interests, even brothers and sisters will turn against each other.
