Chapter 197

In the county town of Liaodong County, Qi Jiguang stood on the tower, waiting for his deputy to return.

Moreover, he could already see the dust flying from the army, and from a distance, he could see the "Han" flag waving in the air.

A navy officer ran up the tower, knelt on one knee and said, "General! An important person in Youzhou has just been arrested. This person is Guan Jing's son Guan Yong."

"This man came to Liaodong County from the direction of Lelang County, and was successfully captured by the guards."

After Qi Jiguang heard the lieutenant's report, he took a deep breath and said, "Detain this person and hand it over to the lord for handling after the war."

"Zhang De and Li Niu are coming back soon, and tomorrow morning I will lead troops westward to attack Liaoxi County."

Qi Jiguang walked down the tower and went straight to the county captain's mansion, waiting for Li Niu and Zhang De to report the battle situation.

The army they brought back was reduced by two-thirds, but they were all elites with high morale.

Obviously, the two left a large number of troops in the northern county town guard of Liaodong County.

In the county captain's mansion, deputy generals such as Zhang De and Li Niu lined up on the left and right, waiting for the general's order.

Qi Jiguang took a deep breath and said, "We are running low on food and grass, but we can still support it for a month."

"Within this month, we must take down Liaoxi County and connect the entire Yuyang County."

"We have now received news that General Xu Rong and General Lu Zhishen have conquered Yuyang County and are occupying the entire Yuyang County."

"Tomorrow morning, I will lead the troops westward. Li Niu will guard Liaodong County, and be careful of Gongsun Du's sneak attack."

"Everyone else is performing their duties. Zhang De will lead his troops to set off tonight to escort the [-] days' supply of food and grass to the county town of Liaoxi County!"

Before the three armies arrive, food and grass go first.

All the lieutenants responded in unison, and then filed out to rectify their subordinates.

Qi Jiguang looked at the map of the entire Liaodong County and Liaoxi County, showing a gratified smile.

Liaoxi County is close to Liaodong County, and the county city of Liaoxi County is on its eastern border.

As long as Qi Jiguang's marching speed is fast enough, he can successfully attack Liaoxi County!
Without the control of the county town, other county towns would be leaderless and vulnerable.

Coupled with the fact that Yuyang County will soon be captured, Gongsun Zan in Ji County has become a cornered beast.

Inside Jixian County, Gongsun Zan gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Why hasn't the food delivered from Liaodong County arrived yet?"

"Since a batch of food and grass was delivered three days ago, there has been no news!"

"Qu Yi didn't block the official way of transporting grain at all. What are you all doing for food? Go and inspect it!"

Gongsun Zan slapped the scout chief's helmet with his palm, telling him to take the scouts to inspect the official road immediately.

The grain and grass in Ji County were supplemented once, but since then there has been no news from Liaodong County.

As if Liaodong County had disappeared, even Gongsun Du did not respond.

Gongsun Zan took a deep breath and thought, "Could it be that the Jizhou Army has conquered Liaodong County?"

"Impossible! Liaoxi County is so big, it is impossible for them to cross the entire Liaoxi County and reach the Liaodong area."

"There are Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes on the prairie. No matter how strong the Jizhou army is, it is impossible for them to cross the entire prairie silently."

"It seems that I'm overthinking, but Qu Yi's offensive has become more and more fierce in the past few days, and the consumption of food, grass and troops is too great!"

Standing on the tower, Gongsun Zan looked at Qu Yi and Xu Rong's barracks from a distance, and couldn't help sighing.

A few days ago, he suddenly had the idea of ​​robbing the camp, but after thinking about it carefully, he gave up.

Qu Yi is not the kind of careless person, to rob his camp is like throwing himself into a trap.

But just when Gongsun Zan was about to walk down the tower, he suddenly realized something!
"No! Xu Rong shouldn't have been silent for so many days, and Yuyang County also went to contact him."

"Guan Jing knows the mountain road from Yuyang County to Jixian very well, so he shouldn't have sent me a messenger!"

Suddenly he figured out something, and Gongsun Zan suddenly felt a chill down his spine, feeling that the situation was over.

Gritting his teeth, Gongsun Zan took a deep breath, and shouted at the lieutenant behind him, "Let Han Qi and the others come here! Today we will abandon Ji County and go straight north!"

Gongsun Zan wanted to understand the plot of the Jizhou Army, and Xu Rong was afraid that he had escaped from his shell and attacked Yuyang County.

Guan Jing must have more bad luck than good luck, it is estimated that the entire Yuyang County has already been conquered.

All the lieutenants were summoned, and Gongsun Zan wanted to leave Ji County by night and head east!
Now that he understood the enemy's plot, Gongsun Zan could no longer delay and hesitate.

At the same time, in Zhuolu County, Shanggu County, Tao Sheng took a deep breath and led the army secretly northward.

Zhang Yan had already heard the news in the barracks, and immediately led his troops out of the barracks, preparing to seize Zhuolu County first.

Zhuolu County is the only county in Shanggu County that has not been conquered. Once it is captured, it means that Shanggu County is completely occupied.

Zhang Yan took a deep breath and said to the lieutenant beside him, "Go and bring someone to tell Mr. Guo Jia that Zhuolu County has been captured."

"Tao Sheng was fled and will bypass Yuyang County and enter Liaoxi County directly."

The lieutenant immediately took orders and set off with a team of scouts to Shanggu County City to tell Guo Jia.

Guo Jia from Shanggu County was still not asleep, sitting in the prefect's mansion and waiting for the scouts from all sides to report the situation.

Guo Jia has been waiting for news from Lelang County, and today he finally got what he wanted!

A lieutenant under Qi Jiguang rushed in, knelt down on one knee and reported to Guo Jia.

"Mr. Guo, I am the scout chief under General Qi Jiguang, here to report the battle situation!"

"The general was attacking Liaodong County three days ago, and it should have been conquered today!"

After hearing what the scout chief said, Guo Jia stood up directly and smiled.

Under the smile, Guo Jia is more admirable!

"My lord, you are indeed wise! General Qi Jiguang actually did it, and even won Liaodong County!"

"Liaodong County, that was the last place Gongsun Zan defended, and now it has also been captured! The battle in Youzhou was a complete victory."

Guo Jia was very excited. After taking a deep breath, he said, "Go back and tell General Qi Jiguang to let him occupy Liaoxi County first."

"I don't need him to occupy the other areas of Liaoxi County. Let him go east immediately after taking the city and attack Gongsundu in Lelang County!"

"Come here, send an order to General Xu Rong, let him immediately go east and take Liaoxi County."

Guo Jia sat down, took a deep breath, and gradually calmed himself down.

Although the advantages are all on his side now, Guo Jia thinks that he should not be careless and should deal with it seriously.

Gongsun Zan still controls an elite army of [-], and he still has a chance to turn things around!
