Space at hand: Pick up a prince to farm

Chapter 572 Survival
After being in contact with Song Chen for the past two years, they were also impressed by Song Chen's abilities. They often even thought that if Song Chen were a man, their master would definitely have another strong opponent.

"Our actions this time are targeting more than one city. Although Yangzhou is now on good terms with us, we still have to be careful not to betray them at a critical moment."

From Xincheng to these two cities, Yangzhou County is the easiest way. If Yangzhou County rebels at the critical moment, their situation will become very dangerous.

"Should we take Yangzhou County first?"

Someone made this suggestion.

On the battlefield, you must eliminate all factors that are harmful to you. This is the most basic rule. However, if they attack Yangzhou County first, Xunzhou and Jingzhou will definitely be prepared. They want to minimize casualties with weapons Your wish to visit these two cities will be in vain.

"It is not appropriate to move in Yangzhou County now."

Cang Xiuxuan is not very in favor of this approach. "For now, Yangzhou County does not pose a threat to us, but we cannot take it lightly. I will personally negotiate with the Yangzhou County Governor."

After all, the governor of Yangzhou is still a court official in Beijing, and what they want to do is to separate Da Rong.

"The voices of the people over Xunzhou are still very high. It is easier to capture Xunzhou than Jingzhou. Although we have a large army pressing down on the border, everyone must remember to treat the people well."

This is a problem that Cang Xiuxuan has always been worried about.

The people below all assured that although they killed people without blinking an eye on the battlefield, they had previously done so to defend against foreigners. Now, although Da Rong regards them as a thorn in his side, they are still their own people after all, and they will not kill the common people. .

Of course, this is all under the condition that the common people themselves understand the situation. If those common people follow and resist, they will not be polite.

Cang Xiuxuan knew this situation well, and naturally he would not make any demands on them.

As for Jingzhou County...

"Jingzhou County Governor should have taken precautions. We will attack directly."

After Cang Xiuxuan analyzed the situation on both sides, he began to allocate manpower and troops. In the past few months of drought, not only did his soldiers not suffer any losses, but they also had more opportunities to train after this opportunity. Now that everyone is strong, there will be no problem in taking over these two cities.

Cang Yi stayed to assist Su Ze, while Cang Xiuxuan personally led the troops to Xunzhou.

He hoped that people would cooperate after seeing him.

A hundred thousand troops passed directly through Yangzhou County. The Yangzhou County Sheriff stood on the city tower and couldn't help but shake his head as he looked at the dark and powerful troops.

"The governors of Xunzhou County and Jingzhou County may have gone crazy and provoked the Lord of Hell at such a time."

Looking at the world, as long as Cang Xiuxuan wants to win, he can easily win anywhere. The Yangzhou County Sheriff already understood this when he made a deal with Cang Xiuxuan for the first time. He could fully predict the outcome of this war.

At the same time, he also began to seriously think about his situation for the first time.

Their Yangzhou County is a very important position for Cang Xiuxuan's new city. It can be seen from the fact that Cang Xiuxuan personally went to negotiate with him before they sent troops this time. Recalling the situation at that time, he was worried.

At that time, if he had shown a trace of reluctance, the result now would have been completely different.

Instead of passing through the city, this [-]-strong army directly destroyed his city.

He didn't know what was going on in Shangjing, but he knew what kind of strength he had. With the small amount of troops in the city, it would be impossible to withstand it and the city would be breached in just one day. Don't talk about a peaceful life by then. Well, he, the county guard, might be killed directly.

So at that time, he agreed without hesitation.As for pursuing the case with Shangjing in the future... they have to be able to live with it.

Perhaps, he should change his master.

The [-]-strong army led by Cang Xiuxuan divided into two groups after passing through Yangzhou County. One went directly to Jingzhou County and the other to Xunzhou County.

The situation in Jingzhou County is not very optimistic either. The shortage of food has made the people in the city restless, and Cang Xiuxuan is unwilling to continue trading with them.

Fifty thousand troops pressed on the border, and the Jingzhou County Sheriff almost turned his hair gray in fear.

"Immediately identify all the available people in the city and get out of the city to meet the enemy!"

"Sir, think about it again. If we surrender now, we might still be able to save one life." The people below did not agree with his idea very much. "There are very few troops that can be mobilized in the city. They are basically just to defend the city." Yes, in the past, if anything happened, we would mobilize troops from the emperor's side, but now it's too late. Cang Xiuxuan's [-]-strong army is so strong that we can't resist it..."

When Cang Xiuxuan's army pressed forward, they all saw that those soldiers were all radiant, and compared to these gray-headed, yellow-skinned soldiers, they were like heaven and earth.

If such two parties conflict, it will undoubtedly be an egg hitting a stone.

They can still save themselves by surrendering now, but if they really wait until Cang Xiuxuan's men directly attack the city, they will have no choice but to die.

It's just that what he said, why didn't the Jingzhou County Sheriff know it?

"We have no choice now!"

They had already offended Cang Xiuxuan before. Surrendering at this time would not be accepted by others at all, so they could only fight with their backs against the wall.

Maybe there is still a chance.

The people in Jingzhou City are also aware of the current situation. Because of the lack of troops in the city, all young and middle-aged men have been pulled over.

The purpose is already quite obvious, to directly use these people as cannon fodder, hoping to win with numbers.

But they don't know how strong people's desire to survive is.

The people in Jingzhou County knew that Cang Xiuxuan had provided food and helped control the plague. Now that his people led troops to attack the city, these people not only had no resentment in their hearts, but felt that they had arrived a little late.

Especially after seeing the soldiers in the new city, this idea became even stronger in their hearts.

They had already had enough of the endless days in Jingzhou City, and they wanted a better way to live.

As a result, many people surrendered directly before the war started.

"We surrender. We are willing to accept the rule of King Qi. We only hope that King Qi can spare our lives. We did not go to the battlefield voluntarily, but were coerced."

Those who surrendered were afraid that they would be hated by King Qi, so they immediately made their position clear.

With the beginning, the people behind will naturally have no scruples.

When the Jingzhou County Sheriff got the news, he spurted out a mouthful of blood.
