Chapter 652

The final result of a group of Counsellors' negotiation was to defend the city. Finally, Yuan Shu decided to concentrate the most elite taxi soldiers in Wancheng and defend the county city with all his strength, while other soldiers and horses guard the counties around Wancheng, such as pheasant County, Bowang County, nieyang county and Jiyang County. At least those who recruit taxi soldiers will defend their own counties.

As a result, Wan county has 10000 heavy infantry, 20000 of which have not yet been trained, and 50000 of the other elite soldiers and horses. Among them, only the 10000 heavy infantry have reached the level of level 8 or above, and the others have not reached the level of level 8. The soldiers and horses in the cities of pheasant county are about level 6, and the rest of the counties are less than level 4.

On July 1, the third year of the early Han Dynasty, Huangfu Chaobo, the general of muzhou mupingdong, worshiped the heaven in Luoyang. Later, he led 50000 cavalry troops, plus more than 20% of the auxiliary soldiers, known as 100000 troops to Nanyang.

Five days later, the army arrived in Luyang county. Joining up the 12000 troops of changshe city who had arrived first, plus the 5000 troops of Luyang, the total number has reached more than 100000.

After that, the army was divided into two parts. Huangfu Chaobo led the pro guard camp and a school of soldiers, and with the changshe army, they went south to Yili County, where they conquered Yili county first, then ye county and duyang county. On the other hand, Huang Zhong led the remaining soldiers and horses to pass through changxigou pass of Luyang with Luyang army, and then went straight to chixian County along changxigou pass. At last, the two armies converged in Bowang and captured the two counties of Western Hubei, then went directly to Wan county.

Two days later, the army of Huangfu Chaobo arrived at the foot of Jue county. Facing 20000 elite troops, the city wall of Jue county was captured in less than a day. The main sieges were the battalions and expendable soldiers. The nearly 10000 troops of Huangfu Chaobo were basically just watching the battle. Of course, another reason for this success is that Yuan Shu transferred all the slightly elite soldiers, leaving only 3000 newly recruited ordinary soldiers to guard the city.

After the capture of pheasant County, the army stayed in pheasant County for one day, and let the top five bars be appointed as the county magistrate, leaving one thousand soldiers to guard the city, and integrating the captured soldiers of pheasant county. Then the army set out again and marched on Yexian County. A day later, the army easily captured Yexian. This time, he took the post of county magistrate, and then he left BOCAI with 3000 soldiers to defend Ye County, so as to control Ye County as quickly as possible. According to the original plan, this battle is to prepare for the occupation of Yi county and Ye County.

Originally, he wanted to capture duyang, but Pang Tong and Huan Jie both opposed, so they had to give up. The main reason is that duyang is too close to Wancheng. It's only more than 100 li. The soldiers and horses of Wancheng can be stationed in the city in two days, and duyang is about the same distance from Yexian. If Yexian doesn't respond quickly enough, it's not impossible to attack duyang in one or two days with Yuan Shu's strength.

So in the end, Zongheng had to give up. However, he would not easily put it in duyang. After the capture of duyang, the city would be swept away. At that time, all the personnel and materials in it would be moved to Yexian and Jue County for resettlement. Only Yuanshu was an empty city. If ye county is protected in this way, Yi county is safe.

Two days later, the army of Huangfu Chaobo arrived at the foot of duyang city. At this time, Huang Zhong had already captured pheasant county and was marching to Bowang. After occupying pheasant County, Huang Zhong's headquarters also resolutely implemented the empty city policy.

Because most of the chongbu barracks in Huben camp are Nanyang people, and their families have settled down in Luoyang. With their own experience, the relocation of the people in pheasant county is very smooth. Of course, a part of the population and property was distributed to kill the wrong wolf and was placed in Luyang.

Now Luyang is very safe, because he is backed by Luoyang and Yingchuan, and the south is now occupied by the whole world. The only road connecting with the cities of Nanyang is changxigou. He has long followed Huangfu Chaobo's advice and built a small pass near the valley where he started, named changxigou pass, which blocked the army of Nanyang The passage to the north.

This time, we followed the troops, mainly for the population and property of Nanyang. Killing the wrong wolf has a lot of self-knowledge, and it's impossible to control a county town. It's better to develop Luyang well than to be greedy. When the time comes and you have the ability to control a county, you will have a chance.

On July 10, the army launched an attack on duyang. This time, it was not as easy as the previous two cities. Although the elite had been recruited back to Wancheng, Yuan Shu also arranged 6000 troops in duyang, which was the total number of the previous two cities.

However, although the number of troops increased, their combat power was still not strong. It took them a day to finally capture the city. Then they arranged for two thousand soldiers to garrison the city. After the retreat, they led the remaining troops to Bowang and prepared to join Huang Zhong's troops to attack Bowang.

However, when the two leaders arrived at Bowang, Huang Zhong had already captured Bowang and was waiting for their troops to arrive. It was not only captured, but also the war damage was even smaller than that of Huangfu Chaobo and duyang. We should know that the garrison of Bowang was better than duyang in both strength and elite.

As a result, the world envies Chen Dao, who is also a famous historical general, but there is still a big gap between Chen Dao and Huang Zhong. However, he was soon relieved that although Chen Dao had a certain gap with Huang Zhong, he was still at the top of the Three Kingdoms, and he still had a special branch that Huang Zhong didn't have.

After a day's rest in Bowang, the army left 3000 soldiers to defend the city. The other soldiers moved westward, crossed the river and went straight to the county seat of xi'e.Like Bowang, Xie county was defended by 6000 troops, but faced with Huang Zhong and tens of thousands of troops, it soon supported and was captured in less than a day. In this way, Nanyang has no barrier in front of the army.

After the capture of Western Hubei, the army took another day off to prepare for the final battle in Wan county. To be honest, Huangfu Chaobo did not expect to take anything back from Yuan Shu. Because it's impossible to occupy Nanyang now. You know, Dong Zhuo Jun in the west of Nanyang and Liu Biao Jun in the South will not allow it, so what he can do is to steal something from Yuan Shu.

To everyone's surprise, as soon as the army was settled down, all kinds of news came.

First came the news that Wudang county was captured by Duoqing sword. Then, Duoqing sword sent people to Xiangyang to show their obedience to Liu Biao. Liu Biao was also very generous to accept the amorous sword, and also appointed him as Wudang county magistrate and school captain.

Not long after the news of Wudang came, Zhang Jijun suddenly sent troops to Wuguan and attacked Wuguan within one day. Then came the news that tens of thousands of troops were directly attacking Danshui county.
