Jiang Nv is indescribable

Chapter 516
Earlier, Kuang Liang's counselor told the truth that the two armies were at a stalemate, and the supply of military rations was directly related to the final success or failure.

On the Binzhou side, Xiao Yuanyin personally raised the food and grass, and it was close to Hanshui. If there was any emergency, Jiulao Mountain could also provide support, so no matter what, he would not have to worry about supplies.

But Daoyang City can only sit and eat.

No matter how brave the soldiers and civilians in the city are, how can they defend against the enemy when they are hungry?Armaments were also limited, and the Binzhou army called for an attack from time to time, and the arrows and stones were almost exhausted, and it was too late to wait for the governor to send troops to help.

Morale was seeing a drop day by day.

Even if Gao Gu ate and slept with the soldiers, and emptied all the food stored in the mansion, it would not help.

Gaogu also strictly prohibited seizing food from the people. When food was cut off for more than 40 days, the soldiers were so hungry that they began to kill each other secretly.

During this period, Gao Gu organized four breakout armies in an attempt to open a way out, but they broke through five times in a row, none of which succeeded.

Seeing that the tragedy of cannibalism is about to happen among the common people, there is a hole in the encirclement circle outside the city.

When besieging a city, if the city is besieged to death and the enemy army is deeply encircled, seeing that there is no way out, they must fight to the death and fight to the end—to make the opponent despair, they must first give hope.

It's not that no one suspects it, but they are all going to die, who cares about it?
Especially at this time, there are rumors everywhere in the city that General Xiao did not kill or surrender, did not disturb the people, and did not invade the people's fields and property... Finally, people's hearts fluttered, and they ran away and ran away.

On a dark and windy night, someone opened the city gate privately.

Seeing that the general situation was over, Gao Gu drew his sword and killed himself on the tower.

The death of the commander-in-chief is like the collapse of a mountain, and the entire army of Liaoyang collapses.

There are soldiers and civilians fighting for their lives everywhere, but most of them chose to surrender.

Pu Yangjuan, who joined the army this time, stepped forward to congratulate him and said: "Congratulations to the fifth son, take Liaoyang, and Kunyuan will be destroyed soon!"

Xiao Yuandu's expression was stern, and there was no trace of joy on his face.

Because of this city, the army has been consumed for so long, and it will cause him to lose troops and generals.He was furious in his heart, and he wished he could destroy Xiangzhou in an instant.

But in the end, I endured it, and it made people bury Gao Kui generously—with no food and grass in the city, no reinforcements outside the city, and the enemy was outnumbered, Gao Gu still stubbornly resisted an army of more than 10,000, and defended three people in Liaoyang. For many months, Xiao Yuandu admired this opponent from the bottom of his heart.

For the ordinary people, he did keep his promise. He didn't move any plants or trees in the city, leaving only the defensive force, so he divided his troops into two groups and continued to march southeast.

After another three months, eleven important cities and towns including Luyang, Luanchuan, Shangjin, Fengyang, Yishui, and Funing were successively conquered.

It is equivalent to going to the city in less than ten days, and the main force of the Xiangzhou Army has almost been wiped out.

Afterwards, upon hearing the three words Xiao Yuandu, almost no one dared to confront them, either they fled at the wind or offered their city to surrender.

At the end of June, the obstacles on the way forward were finally cleared away, and Xiao Yuandu led an army to drive straight to Kunyuan City where Xiangzhou's prefecture was located.

It only took a little effort to occupy the last city.

Lei He's sons were either executed or captured. He returned to Kunyuan to recuperate due to his injuries. Now he had to lead an army to break out of the siege under the persuasion of his eldest son Lei Chun and his subordinates, but was shot to death by flying arrows during the breakout.

Lei Chi had no choice but to carry his father's body in a car and flee to Hanshui overnight, trying to cross Hanshui to ask for help, but was killed by the deputy general Chen Xian on the edge of Hanshui.

Chen Xian carried the heads of the father and son, gathered more than [-] remnants along the way, and led them to surrender to Xiao Yuandu.

The battle between the two states ended in Xiao Shenglei's defeat.
-
After controlling the important places in the city, Xiao Yuandu went straight to the state office.

Zhizhong, Changshi and other subordinate officials gathered in the second hall, all of whom were disheveled and in a hurry.Some had dull eyes and faces as dead ashes, and some kept silent and just secretly raised their sleeves to wipe away tears.

"The general is here!"

Following the shout, Xiao Yuandu got off his horse and strode up the steps.

After the guarding soldiers gave the military salute, they glared at the group of people again, "This is our general, hurry up and salute!"

The subordinate officials shrank suddenly.

Taking a peek, I saw that the so-called general was still very young, dressed in armor, a mighty hero, and looked majestic without saying a word.

Coupled with all the things related to it that I have heard in the past six months, not to mention frightened, I dare not resist.

Besides, the governor has run away...

After a while of silence, greetings sounded sporadically.

Xiao Yuandu ignored it, walked to the long table and sat down.

One of the inconspicuous scribes stepped out from the crowd, and after reporting his name, he leaned over and presented a roster.

The subordinate officials were puzzled at first, but this little scribe was so bold!

After realizing it, could it be that this is the spy planted by the Xiao family? !

Xiao Yuandu frowned, took the roster and put it aside, first he called the deputy general to give some instructions.

For example, resettlement of wounded soldiers.Fireballs were used during the siege, and most of the houses near the city gate were damaged, so they were asked to send additional people to help put out the fire, and search for the "rogue party" who were at large by the way.At the same time, the army will be dispatched to supplement the loss, and arrangements will be made to repair the damaged city wall starting tomorrow.

The lieutenant general led the way, and he opened the roster.After a few glances, he casually clicked on a few people.

The people who were pointed out did not know whether it was a blessing or a curse, and tremblingly came out to obey orders.

As a result, Xiao Yuandu just acted in a business-like tone, and reappointed Zhizhong and Changshi, and then transferred several officials.

Most remain in place.

In the end, he left a sentence of "I will do my best" and left.

This means that as long as they do their job well, they won't be implicated?
The subordinates looked at each other in blank dismay, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, they completely lost the intention of resisting.

The horseshoes stepped on the bluestone slabs, making the long night even more lonely.

Kunyuan City is completely gone from the bustling hustle and bustle of a few days ago, but now it is dilapidated everywhere, with no trace of people, like a dead city, and the torches held in the hands are like will-o'-the-wisps—at least in the eyes of the people of Xiangzhou.

It was still dark when he entered the city, and everywhere he passed, no matter men, women, old or young, all looked at him with deep fear and hatred in their eyes.

There was a child who didn't know anything, pointed at him with his hand, and shouted in a childish voice: "Evil!"

Then, the panicked parents tightly covered their mouth and nose.

Even though he has never captured any land, in the eyes of Xiangzhou people, he is indeed an invader, someone who invaded their homes.

Just like at this moment, behind those closed doors, there are countless pairs of eyes secretly looking at him. If possible, they would probably want to eat his flesh and blood.

Xiao Yuandu didn't care about these, his face was as silent as the night, and he rode his horse to the governor's mansion.

Overnight, nearly a hundred members of the governor's mansion became prisoners.

When I was admitted to the hospital, there were rows of captives waiting to be dealt with, and most of them were female relatives.

"Fifth brother!"

The woman in golden clothes but disheveled hair pushed away the soldiers guarding her and broke into the courtyard.

When he arrived in front of Xiao Yuandu, he knelt down, grabbed his cold iron armor and begged, "Please spare Yao'er! He is still young, he can't do anything...he is also your nephew!"
