Chapter 151 - Two counties in succession
After releasing the eagle, within three days, Zhong Yu and the others rushed to the northern part of Liaoxi County and joined the army going south from Chifeng County.
For the army in the direction of Chifeng, their commander is their own general Zhang Liao. After Sun Jian's rebellion before, Zhang Liao gained his trust and reuse.
He also showed his abilities in the constant wars, and was promoted by himself as a general under his command. He was in charge of 50,000 of the 300,000 troops of the Imperial Kingdom, and guarded the southern border for himself, guarding against and waiting for opportunities to invade the Yan Kingdom.
At this moment, a group of people came in front of the marching army, but the soldiers they saw along the way did not dare to stop them. Instead, they knelt down and bowed to the ground. Now this group of people saluted.
When this group of people reached the middle army of the main army, which was the army under Zhang Liao's direct command, Zhang Liao, who had already heard the news, hurried out, came to this group of people, and knelt down alone to salute.
"The last general, Zhang Liao, paid homage to His Majesty, but he didn't know that His Majesty was here, so he couldn't meet him from afar, so I apologize to His Majesty!"
"No need to be like this, General Zhang, get up!"
After exchanging greetings, Zhong Yu talked about his actions with Zhang Liao.
He briefly said a few key points, and fully revealed his preparations and advantages this time, so that the coach of this army, Zhang Liao, can have a bottom of mind and make the best choice.
"I see. I said, why did His Majesty suddenly go south? This is inconsistent with His Majesty's previous strategy. It turned out to be the second most powerful figure in the UK and the seal letter from their highest military officer. This is a god-sent opportunity. !" Zhang Liao was pleasantly surprised, obviously, he was extremely lucky that his majesty was able to meet Yan Chunjun, a pig teammate of the Yan Kingdom.
"Exactly, I didn't expect it at first, until I saw Lord Yanchun appearing in front of me like this, I had an idea and came up with such a way, using this token, the whole country of Yan will surely fall under the iron hooves of my Royal Highness." Trembling!" Having said this, Zhong Yu was also extremely complacent.
"Since there is such a good opportunity, we will act quickly so that the defenders of these counties will not take precautions after getting the news!" Zhang Liao looked anxious, obviously worried that Lord Yanchun would give these counties a look after he returned. The garrison issued a message, and the token will not work at that time.
"What you said is true, let our army march quickly, and strive to take the entire Liaoxi County within three days!" Although Zhong Yu didn't think Yanchun Lord, he had the courage to tell the matter he had given to Ling Fu himself. , but just in case, I still ordered to march quickly.
The army moved in a meandering manner. Although there were a large number of people, 50,000 in total, stretching for more than ten miles, they couldn't bear it. They were all cavalry, and they were all cavalry, and one man and two horses. After just one or two hours, they approached the Yan Kingdom in Liaoxi County. border.
"Who are you guys? Hurry up and stop, this is the land of Yan State, do you want to invade my Yan State?" The guard at the border, seeing the 50,000-strong army, took it to his own gate, and With a horrified face, he still did his duty and asked sharply.
"Hmph, we came here at the invitation of your country of Yan. This is the order of Lord Yanchun of the country of Yan, and the order of your general of the country of Yan. You can take a look and see if there are any omissions? No Hurry up and open the city gate, and let me wait to enter!" Zhang Liao snorted coldly, took out from his bosom the talisman that His Majesty gave him just now, and the release note signed by the two of them, Yan Chunjun, and put him on the ground. Hold it up high, signaling the people above the city to come down and take it.
The guard saw the person in front of him, he didn't immediately attack the city, but said that he came here at the request of some important people in the Yan Kingdom, and was going to enter the pass.
I felt a little uneasy, could it be that something happened inside the country of Yan? As a small person, he didn't dare to think too much, but signaled a guard beside him to go down to the city to get the token.
After a tedious collection of evidence, the guard in front of him finally confirmed that the order complied with the order and was not fraudulent, and completely conformed to the format of the Yan Kingdom.
It was also confirmed that the person in front of him was indeed the one who came to ask to enter the customs under the orders of Lord Yanchun and the General, and he felt uneasy and didn't know how to make a choice.
As a soldier, obeying the orders of his superiors is what he should have done.
However, Lord Yanchun and the General, both of whom could completely control his existence, issued this order at the same time, and it stands to reason that he should obey it.
However, his sense of honor and sense of responsibility as a soldier of the Yan State made him dare not open the city gate and let these troops of unknown origin enter the city, for fear of bringing disaster to the Yan State?
"Have you thought about it? The city gate can't be opened. If we don't open it, then we will leave. When the time comes, the big shots in Yan Kingdom will blame you, but it will be your responsibility alone. Don't blame me for not implicating the family. I reminded you!" Zhang Liao, who was below, was extremely disturbed, but he still said forcefully, and he did not forget to threaten the guard on one side.
'This, my family, yeah. '
The guard shuddered when he thought of the way Lord Yanchun had used to deal with his political enemies in the past. That would end up killing the whole clan without leaving any one behind. With a chill in his heart, he didn't dare to delay, and said to Zhang Liao below:
"General, don't worry, I'll open the city gate right away, come here, hurry up and open the city for the general below, and delay the affairs of the adults, I will cut you off!"
"Yes, little one, go and open the door now!" Several soldiers around heard their generals speak, and hurriedly responded, fearing that they would be a punching bag and a scapegoat!
With the sound of squeaks, the defense that had blocked countless nomadic tribes from going south to attack the grass valley in the past opened his chest to the army of the imperial country, allowing himself to be squeezed.
Under the guard's unbearable eyes, Zhang Liao's army marched into the city.
But he didn't leave immediately, instead he directly controlled the 10,000 defenders in the city and disarmed them.
In the incredulous eyes of the guard, look down at his head, the flag of the Imperial Kingdom raised in the city. It is announced that this city has changed hands and has become a pass city under Yu Guo's command.
After 3 days, the entire west of Liaoning was brought under the rule of Yuguo, and all the cities were destroyed or surrendered.
With the order of Lord Yanchun, there was not much resistance at all, and there was almost no loss, so he took down the Liaoxi County of Yan State.
At the same time, Dongfang Liaodong County in Liaoxi County was also captured by the commander of the army in the direction of Tongliao City, Cao Cao led an army of 50,000.
Directly control the 80,000 troops in Liaodong County, and reorganize them. I believe that after half a month or one month, they will be able to barely control them, and follow Cao Cao's army to march towards the capital of Yan State.
At this time, Youbeiping County, which is next to Liaoxi County, has almost received the changes in Liaoxi in the east, and has already become vigilant and prepared.
But Youbeiping County, which only has more than 20,000 defenders, how can it stop the next attack of Yuguo, more than 200,000 troops?
It can only serve as a delay, to buy a certain amount of defense time for Yandu, the capital of the Yan Kingdom.
