Prime Minister take care

Chapter 427
Xu Jin died in battle, and one hundred thousand Liang troops surrendered or fled. Fufeng County fell into the hands of the Zhou army.

On the bright side, after entering Yongzhou, there were already hundreds of thousands of Zhou troops in several battles.Among them, except for the hundreds of thousands of troops originally under Yang Xian and the Liangzhou Army who surrendered, the rest were surrendered troops from Liang Army.

These hundreds of thousands of troops were distributed across the vast Guanzhong Plain, consuming massive amounts of food every day.Fortunately, Meng Qing donated Cangqiu City, and the food stored in it was sufficient.

Zhou Jun's soldiers had already entered the suburbs of Haojing, and after the news of Cangqiu City came out, the Huan clan of Shendu immediately responded.

Meng Qing's surrender failed Huan Qing's plan, but no matter what, he would not let Hao Jing fall into Yang Xian's hands.The moment Huan received the news, Huan Qing finally stopped being so leisurely as at the beginning and ordered the Liang troops from Bingzhou, Shendu, and Nanyang to march towards Yongzhou.

However, it was already too late. General Zhu Jian was always known for his shortcomings, but when he led [-] soldiers through Huoshan Pass and entered Hedong County in Yongzhou, what was waiting for him was the water that had already been blocked. shore.

In the great river, water soldiers swim.Tang Dafu's navy blocked the port, and the people could only look at the river and sigh.

Chu Lian attacked Shangguan day and night, but Tong Gu was stationed there. The Liang army in Nanyang found nothing except hundreds of corpses every day.

Yang Chun captured Taolin, and Qin Feng's iron cavalry stationed at the entrance of Chongguan Ancient Road. Under Zhou Jun's offensive, Haojing became a completely isolated city.

Goshawks hovered in the sky, and the army passed through the countryside of Weishui River and marched towards Haojing.

The huge outline of the city in the distance comes into view, and the six vajra figurines are pushing a four-wheeled cart, slowly moving forward on the road in the countryside.

"How is Yang An's injury?"

"It's all right."

Yang An fought with Xu Jin, and the other party died in the battle, and he was also seriously injured.Other generals, such as Jin Xin and Qin Feng, regretted that they did not get this opportunity.

Although Yang Xian didn't understand what these generals were thinking, Yang An obviously couldn't control the Zhechong Army for the time being.Therefore, Yang Xian could only take Zhe Chongjun with him.

Advancing by land and water, men, horses, and materials are moving towards Haojing in a steady stream. The soldiers on the front line have established outpost camps to form a siege.

Haojing is a large city with a population of hundreds of thousands. It is the Xijing of the Great Zhou Dynasty.If an ordinary person walks on foot, it will take four or five hours to walk from south to north.But at this moment, Haojing is also a city with no military strength.

Most of the troops in Yongzhou were detained in Cangqiu City. As the Zhou army advanced under Cangqiu City, most of the cities in Yongzhou had surrendered. The tens of thousands of troops in the divine capital were obviously not enough to defend the city. .

In fact, after Yang Chun, Tong Gu, Tang Dafu, Qin Feng and other generals blocked Liang Jun's reinforcements one after another and Haojing became an isolated city, Yang Xian did not send troops forward immediately, but left sufficient time. Let the forces in Hao Jingzhong understand the external situation at this time.

Yang Xian did not believe that the ministers in Haojing City would be determined to live in peace rather than live in ruins, nor did he believe that they would fight to the death with the Zhou army for Huan Qing.

At present, Yongzhou has been blocked and Haojing has no foreign aid. If it attacks with all its strength, Liang Jun will not be able to defend it.It won't take many days for this city to be breached.But in this way, the city will be greatly damaged, which is not what Yang Xian wants to see.

Among all the forces in Haojing City, if they want them to surrender without a fight, the most important thing is to look at Chang Yu, the governor of Yongzhou.

Although Chang Yu had to plead guilty because of Meng Qing's surrender, he still had enough influence.

"Has Meng Qing entered Haojing?" "Yes!" Ma Xiaocui followed Yang Xian, walking unhurriedly, "This subordinate personally sent him into Haojing City. This kid is very courageous." , even though he has obtained the title of Marquis, he still dares to risk himself."

Haojing is so vast that it is difficult to take care of it with just tens of thousands of Liang troops.Although Liang Jun had already blocked the city gate, the passage between inside and outside Haojing was not completely cut off.

These passages have their own meaning. Even if Liang Jun knew it, he would not block them.Both black and white, dignitaries and relatives all hope to use these passages to do something at this critical juncture.

At least Yang Xian already knew that in Haojing City, many Huan clan members or forces attached to the Huan clan were using these passages to continuously transfer their property these days.

As for the local forces in Yongzhou in Haojing City, unlike the Huan family, many of them are watching.

As most of Yongzhou has surrendered, and more and more local forces in Yongzhou are loyal, these forces in Haojing City are somewhat confused.

On the one hand, those who have surrendered may still be related to them, and some may even be close brothers.But because they were in Liang Jun's camp, they had to be quite cautious. They might be regarded as spies by accident and lose their heads.

On the other hand, the Huan clan and the close forces attached to the Huan clan could escape at this moment and choose to return to the divine capital or somewhere further away, but they could not.

They were very anxious, because except for people with status like Chang Yu who didn't need to worry, other roles that wanted to lead the party all adhered to the same principle.

The sooner you lead the way, the more popular you are.

These people are not stupid and understand the situation very well.As soon as Cangqiu came, all the passes outside Yongzhou were blocked. Liang Jun actually had no chance to recover.

If Cangqiu was still in Liang Jun's hands, they wouldn't be so anxious.

Just like Meng Qing, he surrendered at that critical moment and directly received a title.

Yongzhou has a huge sphere of influence. Even if you can't eat meat, you can still get some soup and water.But if it's too late, then I'm afraid that in the end I will only see a big iron pot that has been scraped dry and searched.

The Chang family was originally a large family in Yongzhou. In addition to the thousands of people in the divine capital city, there are also many branches in Yongzhou.Meng Qing dared to speak so loudly, probably without the support of these people behind him.

Yang Xian slightly moved the handle of the fan in his hand, noncommittal.Zhou Jun's military discipline was very good. At least the pedestrians on both sides did not immediately turn around and run away when they saw the marching army.

Many even stuck their heads out and observed carefully.

In the area around Cangqiu, the war has delayed farm work, and this year's harvest has been delayed.Yang Xian ordered Cangqiu City to open its granaries and provide food for the nearby people.Because of this, the situation was quickly stabilized.

The four-wheeled vehicle moved forward slowly, and the city of Haojing was in sight.The three gates on the south side of the huge city were tightly closed, and Liang Jun's flag on the city wall was somewhat wilted.

The city was very quiet. Yang Xian closed his eyes, but he could still feel the turbulent current lingering in the city at this moment.
