Liu Qi, the eldest son of the Three Kingdoms

() The south gate that Huang Zu was in charge of was broken, and the other three gates were also broken one after another. The army invaded Hepu County like a broken bamboo. Liu Qi breathed a sigh of relief and finally captured it.

Pang Tong on the side smiled and said: "It is inevitable to break through this city, and it is very rare to break this city on the sixth day. In fact, on the one hand, Huang Zu did not care about himself and attacked the city wall with arrows and stones; on the other hand, the Lord siege from all sides."

"Oh?" Liu Qi became interested and asked, "How do you know I'm using tricks?"

Pang Tong laughed, but his ugly face was filled with the light of wisdom. He said with a smile, "Shi Yi has the heart to fight to the death, in order to hold back our Jingzhou army. So the previous encirclement, three lacks and one lack are not very effective. On the contrary, the son's four-door simultaneous attack made Shi Yi's original small force even more scattered. Each door can attack the large army at the same time. In this way, when our army's strength is not reduced, Shi Yi's strength is quite large. It has been reduced by one-third. In this way, the pressure on our army has been greatly reduced, and it is expected to break through in such a short time."

"Hahaha, Shiyuan who knows me!" After hearing this, Liu Qi also laughed out loud. This calculation really couldn't be hidden from the eyes of Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan.

"However, Huang Zu deserves the most credit for breaking through Hepu City so quickly." Liu Qi said modestly, knowing that he must never compete with his subordinates for credit.

The city of Hepu was destroyed, but the remaining soldiers were still holding on, which made Liu Qi very angry.However, he also felt the influence of the gentry in Jiaozhou, and was determined to uproot it.

Liu Qi's Jingzhou army joined forces and rushed to Shi Yi's prefect's mansion.It was night, swords and swords were shining, and flames were soaring into the sky. Every family in Hepu shut their windows and doors and dared not open them.In the early morning of the next day, seeing that Shi Yi couldn't resist, he drew his sword and committed suicide, and the rest surrendered.

The great city of Hepu, with 5000 defenders, was conquered by Liu Qi's 5 troops in seven days, which can be called a military miracle.However, the casualties of the Jingzhou army were still very high, and it was almost a one-for-one game.The Hepu army lost 1 people, and the Jingzhou army lost 1 people, including [-] from Wu Ju's army, [-] from Li Yan's army, and [-] from Huang Zu and Zhang Xiu.

With so many losses, Liu Qi's main force is still there, so the Jingzhou army set off in a hurry after resting in Hepu for a day, leaving Huang Zu with [-] sailors and [-] infantry troops. Huang Zu was temporarily appointed as the prefect of Hepu to conquer Hepu. other cities.There must be Huang Zu, the evil star, Xu Jing and others did not dare to mess around.

Liu Qi led the remaining 8 horses and hurriedly marched into Jiaozhi for the final battle.Two days earlier is more important to the Jingzhou Army than tens of thousands more horses.Liu Qi's army went all the way to Longbian, the core of the Zhisuo of Jiaozhi.

Li Yan and Li Zhengfang led [-] troops as the vanguard, and Hu Che'er as the deputy general, opening roads when encountering mountains and building bridges when encountering water.Liu Qi led a Chinese army of [-], accompanied by generals Huang Zhong, Zhuge Jin, Zhang Xiu, Wu Ju, Huang Xu, Liu Pan and others, and counselors Kuai Yue, Jia Xu, Pang Tong and Jiang Wan.The army is mighty, the flags cover the sky and the sun, and the black clothes and armor match the sky, very mighty.

It is the common sense of military strategists that soldiers and horses go first without using food and grass.The last batch of food and grass for Liu Qi's army also entered the border of Jiaozhou, passing through Cangwu and Yulin to Linchen City.This batch of grain and grass was about 50 shi, and when it arrived in Yulin County, Zhao Lei, the grain supervisor, and Lai Gong, the governor of Jiaozhou, were jointly responsible for the transportation.Liu Qi has already prepared [-] shi of food and grass, and there will be no shortage of food before Zhao Lei comes.

Jiaozhi is the largest county in Jiaozhou, so this state is also called Jiaozhou as a matter of course.At that time, Jiaozhou had not experienced the Yellow Turban Uprising, Dong Zhuo's riots, feudal lords' melee, etc., plus the northerners fled south.The population did not decrease but increased.Cochin County alone has a population of about 50, accounting for one-third of Jiaozhou's population.Jiaozhou should still be regarded as a large salt-producing state, which is the local pillar industry.That's why Liu Qi captured and carefully managed Daojiaozhou before the princes of the world realized the importance of Daojiaozhou.

It is not only fat but also bones from another angle, so Liu Qi has to fight tenaciously in the corner of Shixie, and quickly fight down Jiaozhi before it is destroyed in World War I. Otherwise, no one can stand the continuous supply of soldiers and food.

Gossip aside, Liu Qi's army traveled day and night without stopping, and finally arrived at Longbian City within ten days, which was only thirty miles away.It is easy to set up camp.

When the labor force is on an expedition, it is necessary to prevent the camp from being robbed.Liu Qi asked Feng Leiqi, who had no physical loss, to be in charge of patrolling the camp, and Zhang Xiu was in charge.The rest of the soldiers let them rest early.

The soldiers rested, but Liu Qi and the others had no time to rest.Liu Qi ordered the scouts to report the news of the investigation and the surrounding geographical location, and the map of Jiaozhi was also posted.

Liu Qi asked the supervisor Pang Tong to analyze and first draw up a battle plan.Pang Tong stood up without hesitation, pointed at several places with a folding fan and said: "Longbian is the Jiaozhi Prefecture, with a population of about 5000. The supporting soldiers and horses are no more than [-], a total of [-] people. There are countless food and military equipment."

With a swipe of his hand, Pang Tong pointed to a circle on the map with a serious expression, and continued: "Jiaozhi County is different from other counties. It is the pattern of stars supporting the moon. There are no less than a dozen large and small towns around tens of miles away. city."

"If you want to conquer Jiaozhi, you must cut off the connection between Longbian and other cities. Our army has cavalry in the field, and we are not afraid of Shixie, but if we attack one city and one pool, it will take time and damage the soldiers and horses. Too much is not good for our army."

Pang Tong showed firmness on his dark face, and said: "So, I mean: the first stage - our army attacked one city after another, taking a detour and attacking like a leapfrog. The second stage - switching from attack to defense, When we cut off the reinforcements from Longbian, Shi Xie must panic and mobilize defenders from all over the country to attack the pass city that our army is guarding. The third stage - attacking Longbian. Longbian City is not only the seat of Jiaozhi, but also the defenders of other cities. In the first stage, we can completely cut off the connection between Longbian and reduce the losses of our army. The second stage is to completely hold the initiative of the war in our hands. If Shi Xie or others The defenders in each city couldn't help but go out to fight. Hahaha, they will never return. The third stage is the decisive battle stage. As long as the Dragon Bian is broken, the other defenders will definitely lose their belief in persistence and will have no fighting spirit. Treat him like a chicken and a dog."

After Pang Tong said, all the counselors nodded one after another.

Kuai Yue, the governor of the navy, even sighed: "Scholar Yuanzhen is the crown of my Jingzhou scholars!"

Jia Xu also showed a hint of appreciation, saying: "The analysis is very thorough, and I have nothing to add."

The master secretary Jiang Wan is an honest person, he doesn't say anything in a scene, but just nods.

Liu Qi nodded, his handsome face was full of admiration, and he agreed: "What Shi Yuan said is reasonable, I really admire it." Then he straightened his face and announced the military order in a very serious tone.
