The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

Although Xuantu County, Lelang County and other places still belong to Youzhou in name, in fact, Gongsun Du has established himself in Xuantu County.

Gongsundu was in Xuantu County, and he implemented severe punishments and laws, cracked down on powerful forces, made the administration more efficient, and gradually became more powerful.

Because of the chaos caused by Dong Zhuo in the Central Plains, warlords from all over the country had no time to visit.

In the north, because Zhou Cheng, Yuan Shao, Han Sui and others started a war, they had no time to take care of Xuantu County and other places.

Therefore, Gongsun Du took the opportunity to attack the remnants of Goguryeo in the east, Wuhuan in the west, the Liaodong Peninsula in the south, and the Donglai counties in the northern part of the Jiaodong Peninsula across the sea to expand his territory.

At the same time, Gongsun Du also recruited talents, opened schools, recruited refugees, and gained influence overseas.

Gongsun Zan needs to deal with Liu He and divide his troops in Qingzhou, so he is not willing to start a war with Gongsun Du for the time being.

This made Gongsun Du cover the sky with one hand in Xuantu County, Lelang County and other places.

At this time, the person responsible for garrisoning Xuantu County was Gongsun Du's eldest son Gongsun Kang.

Gongsun Du named himself Pingzhou Mu and Marquis of Liaodong. He also named Gongsun Kang the Grand Administrator of Xuantu County.

……

Xuantu County.

Although Xuantu County is very large, it has only five major counties: Goguryeo, Houcheng, Xigaima, Liaoyang, and Gaoxian.

When Xu Huang led his troops into Xuantu County, although Gongsun Kang was shocked, he was not surprised.

Zhou Cheng built Zhenliao City on the ruins of Fuyu Royal City.

Gongsun Kang was always paying attention to this matter. After all, Zhenliao City was right next door to Xuantu County.

If Zhou Cheng wants to expand his territory, Xuantu County, Lelang County, and even the entire Liaodong Peninsula will be Zhou Cheng's target.

Therefore, Gongsun Kang was not surprised that Zhou Cheng attacked Xuantu County.

However, Gongsun Kang didn't understand. Compared with capturing Xuantu County, it would be better to send troops to attack Yongzhou, Youzhou Zhuojun, Yuyang and other places.

Attacking Qingzhou is also a better choice.

After all, Xuantu County is also a bitter cold place. It is not cost-effective to occupy Xuantu County, Lelang County and other places and waste manpower and material resources.

Xuantu County is the county seat of Goguryeo County and the prefect's mansion.

At this time, some soldiers hurriedly walked into the mansion and reported:"The order of Houcheng sent someone to report that Houcheng has been lost, and the Zhou army continues to march towards Lelang County!"

"What did you say?!"

Gongsun Kang's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.

It had only been a while since Xu Huang entered Xuantu County.

Moreover, it was December, and the ice and snow were not conducive to marching at all.

However, Zhou Cheng used practical methods to The action broke common sense and proved that in Liaodong, it is still possible to march and fight in winter.

……

In Houcheng County, the city walls are low.

Moreover, the moat was frozen in winter, and the city was inactive and careless.

Xu Huang only brought a cavalry of two thousand, quietly bypassed Goguryeo County, went deep into Xuantu County, and entered the back city overnight and occupied the city.

The Houcheng County Magistrate and his family have now been captured.

At this time, Xu Huang took out the bag of tips given to him by Jia Xu after taking inventory of the supplies in the city.

Immediately, Xu Huang met with the Houcheng County Magistrate alone.

After chatting for a while.

Xu Huang released the residents in the city and asked some sergeants to pretend to be county soldiers from Houcheng County and march towards Goguryeo County.

Xu Huang reached a deal with the Houcheng County Magistrate.

As long as the Houcheng County Magistrate cooperates, his family and clan will not be harmed.

The magistrate of Houcheng County was also a smart man. He knew that it was only a matter of time before the Zhou army invaded Xuantu County and that Xuantu County fell.

Therefore, he decisively surrendered to Zhou Cheng.

According to Xu Huang's instructions, the Houcheng County magistrate sent people to Goguryeo County to make Gongsun Kang think that the Zhou army was continuing to march to Lelang County and wanted to attack Lelang County.

……

Goguryeo County.

Gongsun Kang put on a thick fur coat and came to the city wall.

At this time, some scouts had heard the news.

The magistrate of Houcheng County has escaped from Houcheng County with the remaining defeated generals and the wealthy families in the city.

According to the scout's investigation, no Zhou army was found.

Obviously, what Magistrate Houcheng said is right.

Zhou Jun must have continued to march into Lelang County and wanted to take the opportunity to attack Lelang County.

Gongsun Kang has also sent scouts to Lelang County, asking Gongsun Du to reinforce Xuantu County and defend Lelang County at the same time.

Gongsun Kang looked at the embarrassed remnants of Houcheng County and said:"Take them into the city."

The remnants of the soldiers brought out by the Houcheng order were only a few hundred people. Counting the large families who escaped, the total number was less than a thousand.

There are 7,000 elite soldiers in Goguryeo County. Therefore, Gongsun Kang is very confident in defending the city.

……

Neighing - the neighing of a war horse.

The scout dismounted, ran to Xu Huang, and reported:"General, the internal troops have entered the city."

Xu Huang ordered:"Surprise Goguryeo County tonight and capture Gongsun Kang alive."

In the ice and snow, it was difficult to understand the situation outside.

Xu Huang drove away the residents in the city and asked them to pretend to be Zhou troops and continue to march towards Lelang County.

Gongsun Kang's scouts indeed discovered that the"Zhou Army" was advancing, but they were unable to distinguish the authenticity.

Now Gongsun Kang would never have expected that Xu Huang's main force had appeared near Goguryeo County.

After dark.

In Goguryeo County, soldiers gathered around the stove to warm themselves.

On the top of the city, there were only county soldiers from Houcheng County, patrolling.

It's freezing cold, and most people don't want to go to the tower to suffer the cold.

The defeated soldiers in Houcheng County happened to do this hard job.

At this time, it was pitch black outside the city.

Suddenly, a wolf howl of"Aoaoao" sounded outside the city.

The wolf howled lasted for a while and then disappeared.

The 'defeated soldiers' on the city tower looked at each other, and then some opened the city gate, while others attacked the military camp and killed Gongsun Du's soldiers.
