Chapter 1891 The lonely city of Yanjing

Chapter 1889: The Lonely City of Yanjing

Liu Che naturally knew that in terms of Yanjing's current situation, defending to the death was the best and only option, but he was still unwilling to sit and wait for death.

After a long silence, Liu Che asked, "Could you send troops to defeat Su Lie's [-] troops while Su Lie and Xue Li's two armies have not joined forces?"

"Your Majesty, although there are [-] troops in Yanjing City, which are equal in strength to Su Lie's, their combat strength is completely different.

Su Lie's [-] troops fought all the way from Bohai Sea to Yanjing, winning consecutive battles and their morale was extremely high.

On the other hand, our army has lost cities and territories one after another, morale is low, and even one-third of them are recruits.

If we defend the city, our army can still fight against it, but if we go out of the city to fight in the field, we will definitely lose. "

Huo Guang said with a bitter face, what he said was true, after all the war had reached this point, there was no need to destroy his family's prestige, because he had no prestige to destroy at all.

Hearing this, Liu Che was completely discouraged, waved his hands, and said weakly: "Forget it, you won't leave the city if you leave the city. I hope that you will be less than the auxiliary general, but try to stick to it for as long as possible."

After Xian Yufu fled back to Yanjing, Liu Che originally wanted to punish him severely, but considering that there were no generals in Yanjing City, all the ministers begged for marriage for Xian Yufu, and Li Guangcai was the main general in Yuyang, so he pardoned Xian Yufu The crime of defeat, and let him be responsible for guarding Guangyang City.

Xian Yufu was defeated and returned. Not only was he not punished, but he was reused to guard Guangyang City. This made Xian Yufu even more grateful and vowed to be loyal to Liu Che and never surrender to the death.

"Your Majesty, Guangyang City is second only to Yanjing Jiancheng, and there are [-] garrison troops that are rarer than the auxiliary generals. Presumably, they can last for ten days and a half months." Wei Xiang said.

As you can tell from the name, Guangyang City was once the seat of Guangyang County, and it was also the seat of Youzhou.

When Liu Yu was the shepherd of Youzhou, there was no particularly prosperous city in Youzhou, and he was mainly devoted to handling and regulating the affairs of foreign races, so Guangyang City, which is relatively northerly, was more suitable as a governing city.

After Liu Che succeeded Liu Yu, Youzhou was populated by a large number of refugees from the Yellow Turban Uprising. Compared with the past, the population has greatly increased, and economic and commercial aspects have also entered a stage of rapid development, while the political status of Guangyang City has become embarrassing. Woke up.

Guangyang City's geographical location is relatively north, which is not conducive to controlling the entire territory of Youzhou, nor is it conducive to commercial development, and it is even more unfavorable for going south to Jizhou in the future, and it will also be threatened by the Qing cavalry...

If you continue to use Guangyang City as the governing place, there will be a lot of disadvantages, but there is no benefit, so Liu Che resolutely moved the governing place to Ji County, which is now Yanjing City.

Ji County was originally just a small county with a population of nearly 20, but after Liu Che moved to rule early, he not only moved a large number of refugees to expand the population, but also expanded it three times and renovated the city five times. In a few years, Ji County was built into a large city with a population of [-].

Youzhou is vast and sparsely populated, and it is very rare for a single city to have a population of more than 20, but Ji County has a population of [-], which is absolutely unprecedented.

In addition, due to the threat of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Liu Che attached great importance to defensive power at the place where the city was built, so Yanjing is still known as easy to defend and difficult to attack, and its defensive power is not inferior to Yecheng, which is the number one in Hebei.

Most of the resources of the Northern Han Dynasty were used to build the city of Yanjing, and Guangyang City, the original government, was naturally neglected and began to gradually decline.

However, after all, Guangyang City was once a prefecture's government, and the basic foundation is still there. At least the city wall is very tall and thick, and it was reinforced before the war, so it can be called easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Supplemented by Xian Yufu and Xian Yu Yin, these two veterans who are good at defense, it is reasonable to say that it is no problem to hold Qin Jun for a while, but the cruel reality is...

"Report... Your Majesty, Guangyang City was captured by the Qin army."

"what?"

The puppet readers of Liu Che, Wei, etc. cried out in surprise, especially Wei Xiang, who just said that he could hold on for half a month, but in a blink of an eye Guangyang City fell, not even holding it for a day.

This face-slapping speed is too fast.

"Guangyang is a strong city, how could it fall so quickly?"

Liu Che couldn't deny it all over his face, and then cursed: "Trash, it's just trash."

Liu Che didn't expect Xianyu Fu to hold Guangyang City for long. After all, Xue Gang and Huo Guang's tens of thousands of troops didn't hold Dai and Shanggu counties for a month, but at least ten days.

There is such a strong city as Guangyang City, but you Xianyufu can't even defend it for a day. This can no longer be described as incompetent, it is simply a waste!

Cursing and cursing, Liu Che felt that something was wrong. The brothers Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin were all generals he personally selected, and he knew their abilities well, so it was absolutely impossible for them to be incompetent.

At this thought, Liu Che's eyes flashed sharply, and he asked sharply, "Did Xianyu Fu turn to the enemy?"

After saying that, Liu Che's eyes were full of violence, and he wished he could kill Xian Yufu's family immediately. He trusted Xian Yufu so much, how could Xian Yufu betray him.

The soldier quickly explained: "No, General Xian Yufu did not join the enemy, it was because the Qin army's offensive was too fierce.

Generals Xue Rengui and Lu Fengxian both personally participated in the siege of the city. The soldiers of our army couldn't stop them at all, so the Qin army broke the city in one day.

The two generals, Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin, held on until the last moment, and finally died in battle and martyred their country. "

Before the words were finished, the soldiers who reported were already weeping, and all the ministers also looked sad.

Liu Che didn't expect this result, he was dumbfounded, and the hostility in his heart disappeared in an instant. After a long silence, he said in a sad voice: "I pass on my will, to make General Xianyu Fu the Marquis of Guangyang, and General Xianyu Yin to be the Marquis of Marquis of the military capital."

"Your Majesty is wise."

The fierceness of the Qin army's offensive exceeded Liu Che's imagination. Even a fortified city like Guangyang couldn't hold on for even a day.

After the fall of Guangyang City, Xue Rengui's next target was naturally the military capital.

The defense of the military capital is not as good as that of Guangyang City. Even if Guangyang Chengdu cannot be defended, it is even more impossible for the military capital to block Qin, so the fall of the military capital is inevitable.

At that time, will Yanjing City, which has been reduced to an isolated city, really be able to defend it under the offensive of the Qin army?

It is said that the officials of the Northern Han Dynasty have no idea, even Liu Che has no idea.

Heaven did not favor Liu Che. One day later, news came that the military capital had been breached by Xue Rengui.

So far, Yanjing City has been completely reduced to an isolated city. Except for the [-] army of Weiqing in Zhuojun, the Han army no longer has any power in Youzhou.

But Wei Qing's situation was not much better than Liu Che's. Under the attack of Bai Qi and Huo Qubing's [-] troops, let alone going north to help Liu Che, it was already good enough to guarantee his own safety.
