This time, Xiao Rui didn't need to design it specifically. Lao Lai, who was thousands of miles away, completed the first step of self-improvement by relying on her labor. Unfortunately, Xiao Rui could not know the good news, otherwise she would surely send her blessings.

Xiao Rui can also rest assured that there are talents like Lai Lu who serve the Qin State.

On the way to climb the mountain, Xiao Rui also suddenly had an idea.

Who said that the advent characters of the treacherous camp are useless, Daxia can be sent to the enemy country without any need, and now the lady is here, what about Zhao Gao, who refers to the deer as the horse? Although there was a Zhao Gaogao in the Great Xia Kingdom before, there was a difference of tens of thousands of miles after one more word. If Zhao Gao is also brought down, let him and Brother Lai's two swords be combined, so why not worry about Qin?

It's so exciting to think about it.

The autumn breeze is a good time to travel. There are not many mountains outside Kyoto, so there are many natural tourists on the beautiful mountains. There are men and women in groups. They climb high and look far away, which is not interesting.

Xiao Rui's group of people followed the crowd, and they were not very eye-catching.

When he reached the mountain, Xiao Rui simply stood, looked into the distance, and exhaled a breath of staleness in his chest, which was regarded as sweeping away exhaustion. Looking around, the people on the Autumn Tour were sitting on the ground, eating small games and having a picnic. Xiao Rui was quite embarrassed to stand up, so they went down the mountain obediently.

Go back to the palace and continue to work for the country!

.......

Before the beginning of winter, the champion Hou's three-way sweep across Zhucheng, and finally joined forces to come to Liaoyuan City.

Liaoyuan City is more than five hundred miles away from the capital of Daqi. Once Liaoyuan City is broken, you can take the capital directly to Mapingchuan to the north. Therefore, Liaoyuan City must not be lost, this is the last barrier to guard the imperial capital.

At this time, the city of Liaoyuan was full of murderous air, and nearly 300,000 troops were packed into the city. In order to deal with the gunpowder of Xia, the city and the city were built with wooden bunkers to facilitate the soldiers to hide. After all, after the gunpowder was thrown in and detonated, that The splashing power of stones and iron tribulus should not be underestimated.

The bunker can also stop Daxia's Zhuge Liannu and avoid being shot as a hedgehog.

At the same time, trenches were dug out of the city. There are three trenches that are one person high. The furthest one is 60 meters away from the city wall. The purpose is naturally to prevent Daxia’s ladder from approaching, and to reduce Xia’s Arrow crossbow range.

In this way, Liaoyuan City was full of confidence and broke Xia Jun's advanced equipment to see how they attacked the city! For this reason, a large amount of hot oil, sleepers, and stones are also prepared on the city. If Xia Jun dares to attack, they will definitely taste it!

For the preparations made by Liaoyuan City, champion Hou was in his eyes.

He sits in the center and convenes the generals to discuss countermeasures.

After everyone analyzed the situation of Liaoyuan City in detail, how to win Liaoyuan City became the primary issue. It has to be said that the defense of Liaoyuan City is done very well, specifically designed for Daxia's offense.

"Master Hou, the casualties of the storm are too great to be attacked. How about bypassing Liaoyuan City and heading north directly?" a general asked aloud.

Champion Hou shook his head and said: "Liaoyuan City must be destroyed first, bypassing this city is detrimental to the military, and once we detour northward, this will leave the back to Liaoyuan City. The 300,000 troops in Liaoyuan City should not be underestimated. Let's do this. The purpose of the trip is to destroy Qi, and every step must be steady."

"Why don't you leave a hundred thousand army here to attack the city, and the remaining army continue to go north? Having a hundred thousand army here can also deter the Qi army in Liaoyuan City." Another person asked.

The champion Hou still shook his head and said: "During this period of time, he has been down to twelve cities. Each city has soldiers and horses garrisoned to ensure order. After removing the casualties, we still have half a million troops in our hands. We will leave a hundred thousand as a deterrent to Liaoyuan. The city is not impossible, but it is a central strategy. If you are not careful, it is very likely to be counter-checked by the opponent. Moreover, there are still more than five hundred miles from the Qi Emperor. There are many cities in the middle that need to be captured and left to garrison. When we arrive at the imperial capital of Qi, there will be more than 200,000 soldiers and horses left. It is not easy for more than 200,000 soldiers and horses to win the imperial capital of Qi! Unless someone in the imperial capital of Qi learns from Zhao’s surrender, that’s okay. No effort. But the possibility is very low."

"Would you like to ask the court for support?" someone asked again.

Champion Hou glared at the other party and said: "With the mess of Qi Guo, the 700,000 elite army of this Hou can not destroy him, so he will have no face to return to Daxia! Moreover, military support will take a certain amount of time. It has not been ten days and a half month. No, don't mention this!"

The combat strength is 700,000, which is not counted as auxiliary troops, plus the auxiliary troops and the escorts, and the force of the attack on Qi this time is close to one million! Therefore, the champion Hou also has his arrogance. With so many soldiers and horses who can't handle the mess of internal and external troubles of Qi Guo, what face does he have to "bring the three armies"!

The main reason is that the captured cities cost a lot of troops to stay garrisoned.

In fact, there is no need to keep troops so intensively. It should be enough to leave 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses in a few cities as a deterrent.

But again, the champion Hou Qiuzheng, what he wants is not only to break through the imperial capital of Qi, but also to give all the places he fights to Daxia. You can’t just break through a city and just walk away, the people of Qi in the city will revolt and stand on their own. When the time comes, there will be an unstable situation everywhere, and it will be annoying to look at it.

Qi State is not the State of Zhao, and the people of Zhao State have been exploited for too long, so when they break through the city, the people of Zhao State are very honest. As long as they don't kill them or rob them, they won't resist. Qi Min's rebellious mood is high, and he doesn't want to be a slave to the country, so he must send troops to garrison to ensure stability.

This is why the fourteen states of Anxi were completely settled in only three years, while the champion Hou was stationed in Fengtian City for nearly three years, and the effect was far less than that of the fourteen states of Anxi.

Since it was necessary to win Liaoyuan City, everyone began to brainstorm how to win this city.

Li Cunxiao said: "General, since you must take Liaoyuan City, you should first surround Liaoyuan City with your main force, cut off his supplies, and make it a dead city. Qi is already short of food, and Qi army’s food is greatly reduced. Lianke Zhucheng clearly sees that their food storage is limited. The city of Liaoyuan originally had a population of 300,000, but as our army came, the surrounding people were called into the city in a hurry. Together with the army of Qi, it is estimated that the city of Liaoyuan There are a million people! This is a huge population, and the food consumed every day is not a few."

"We encircled Liaoyuan City, did not attack, and then spread rumors to force them to die of food, starve them to death, and then Liaoyuan City will not attack itself. Once this rumor comes out, it will inevitably cause panic in Liaoyuan City. There is a phenomenon of grabbing food. And the subordinates are betting that there is not enough food in Liaoyuan City!"

"While the main force surrounds Liaoyuan City, the subordinates are willing to use some of their troops to sweep away the surrounding enemies, and then continue northward. This will not affect the speed of the attack! What does the general think?"

Champion Hou smiled and scanned the others, and asked, "What do you think of the way to preserve filial piety?"

The other generals nodded.

Champion Hou smiled and said: "Then follow this method! Li Cunxiao and Yang Youji, this general has ordered you to lead one hundred thousand soldiers and horses to continue northward, and this general will stay here to take down Liaoyuan City!"

"Humble duty!" Li Cunxiao and Yang Youji led the order.

The plan has been finalized and the action has begun.

The 400,000 army surrounded the entire Liaoyuan City, and Daxia's army did not attack the city, but sent people to call the battle and proceed according to the plan.

The soldiers and people in Liaoyuan City saw this posture. Xia Jun was going to starve them to death. In an instant, the city began to panic buying food, and even chaos caused the food grab.

In the end, Prince He sent troops to suppress and appease, which stabilized the situation a bit.

Subsequently, Prince He summoned the commanding generals to discuss countermeasures.

Prince He immediately inquired about the food situation in the city, and the result was only enough for the people in the city to consume for seven days, tighter, barely able to last ten days. There are too many people in the city now, far from expecting before. Moreover, Qi is in short supply of food, and logistical supplies are already inadequate.

After Prince He understood his emotions, he was furious: "When the army was pulled out, this king wrote to his Majesty and asked the Ministry of Household to provide adequate supplies. As long as he could hold Liaoyuan City, Xia Jun would not dare to detour easily. Where did the food go? ?"

The generals looked helpless and kept silent.

Prince He continued to curse: "If Da Qi is dead, it will be destroyed by the hands of the villain! Is it not clear which is light and which is heavy?"

After cursing, Prince He arranged: "This king has ordered that from now on, the grain in Liaoyuan City shall be managed in a unified manner. Soldiers will now be sent door-to-door to collect grain. Many rich and noble families in the city have garnished grain and let them all hand it over! Who is it! If you don’t pay, let’s kill it! And according to the population, only one month’s worth of food will be reserved for them. Now we can’t take care of anything else, as long as we search out all the food, I believe it will last for a month! Do you generals have any objections?"

Unified management is indeed the best way. They can't wait for the food to run out. Let's go out of the city and attack, and is the army in the city the opponent of Daxia?

Look at the 300,000 army in the city, 150,000 regular army soldiers, and the rest are the rebels of Zhaoan. They may have been farmers or butchers before. They are soldiers when they pick up weapons, but they have not been systematically trained, and they are not large at all. Xia Biao's opponent.

So Liaoyuan City can only defend, not take the initiative to counterattack!

"My lord, I heard that Daxia dispatched a hundred thousand troops to continue northward. How should this be done?" A general couldn't help asking.

Prince He said: "Immediately fly the pigeon and pass the book to the imperial court. Liaoyuan City is more than 500 miles away from the imperial capital, and there are more than a dozen cities in between. Daxia wants to use one hundred thousand soldiers and horses to defeat the emperor is a idiot dream. So don't worry, let the court find another way to deal with the one hundred thousand troops."

"Yes!" Everyone took their orders, then stepped back and began to act.

After he left, Prince He suddenly smiled.

Everything is in plan.

......

Feiying sent a letter back to Qi State's imperial capital.

After Qi Huang heard about the situation in Liaoyuan City, he immediately summoned Yun Haitian, Wei Nanzheng, Zhongshu Provincial Shangshu and Hubu Shangshu, and then scolded Hubu Shangshu. He clearly arranged for the Hubu to prepare sufficient grain and grass for Liaoyuan City, because Prince He had already written a letter before his expedition, expounding the meaning of holding Liaoyuan City. As long as he held Liaoyuan City, it was like Dinghai Shenzhen, which could deter Daxia soldiers and horses.

As long as Daxia does not destroy Liaoyuan City, he will not dare to detour northward.

But it's better now, there is no food prepared, how does this make Liaoyuan City defend the city?

Hubu Shangshu looked bitter and could only kneel down to beg for mercy. There are many reasons for giving food negligence, such as the boss instructing, but this reason cannot be said~www.wuxiahere.com~ So he can only use the food shortage as an excuse, anyway, Qi Huang doesn't know how much food is in the treasury.

The instigator was Wei Nanzheng. At this time, he reported: "Your Majesty has put an end to Liaoyuan City. Now the army of the State of Xia is besieging Liaoyuan City, and Prince He is forcibly conquering all the food in the city, and then giving priority to the soldiers. If the people reduce their food, they should be able to persist for a month and a half! Now the rebels from Nanshan Prefecture to the east suddenly attacked, and the force was like a broken bamboo. The imperial capital was only more than a hundred miles away. Weichen suggested that the rebels should be eliminated first, the surrounding area of ​​the imperial capital should be stabilized, and troops would be sent to help Liaoyuan City break the siege! As for the Xia Jun going northward An army of 100,000 will order the cities along the way to strengthen their defenses, and they can stop them from going north. I wonder what your Majesty thinks?"

Qi Huang nodded and asked, "Zuo Xiang, what do you think?"

Haiyuntian said: "Your Majesty, there is only this way for the current plan, but the Weichen thinks that we have to be careful about the north. Now there are only 100,000 soldiers and horses stationed in five critical passages to prevent the Yuan army from invading south, but according to the scout's calculation, now The Yuan army has 200,000 cavalry raging in the north, and they keep approaching south, the intention is very obvious! Once the opponent kills, the only land of Gyeonggi in Daqi will also be under the iron cavalry!"

Qi Huang was worried, he opened his mouth and had nothing to say.

Because now Daqi has no troops available.
