Chapter 373
Xiang Chu was not worried about this Goguryeo force and sent flying soldiers to monitor their movements.
Then, he led the army to the beach, set up a Bagua Array Map camp, and began to rest the camp.
In the middle of the night, a flying soldier suddenly reported outside the tent.
"Husband-kun! Wake up. The mink cicada hurriedly shook Xiang Chu awake.
Xiang Chu said in confusion: "Say it!" What a thing. "
The flying soldier said loudly: "Master! Those 8,000 Goguryeo troops were looting the city of Pingcheng in Xi'an and slaughtering the local people, and we were powerless to stop it. "
"What?" Xiang Chu was directly shocked and immediately sat up, "You go and call General Zhang Liao over." "
Xiang Chu walked outside the tent and waved out 400 backers, and not long after, Zhang Liao rushed over.
"Wen Yuan! You take 10,000 cavalry from your headquarters, plus 400 backers, to Xi'an Pingcheng to save the people of Yicheng, and you must drive the Goguryeo people out of Liaodong County, and then go north to Xiangping to join me. "
Zhang Liao immediately bowed and said, "No! The task will be completed at the end. "
Zhang Liao led the army to Xi'an Ping overnight, this road was rough and difficult, and the night march was really not easy.
Fortunately, the soldiers on their backs had the ability to automatically identify the road, and led Zhang Liao's 10,000 horse 880 to fly away, and they arrived at noon the next day.
At this time, the Goguryeo cavalry robbed the city's belongings, not to mention, but also took away beautiful women and killed men.
Zhang Liao's troops arrived and launched an attack without saying a word.
Since the death of Gongsun Zhan, the Goguryeo people have been accustomed to robbing in Youzhou, where can they expect Han troops to block it.
They were caught off guard, and Zhang Liao's cavalry and back-to-back soldiers took 5,000 men with them in a single charge.
The remaining 3,000 Goryeo cavalry threw down their belongings, fled in a hurry, and were captured by the rogue horses of the back-backed soldiers, killing only more than 100 horsemen and fleeing back to Goguryeo.
"The special forces given by Prime Minister Cheng are really powerful, they can fight and chase, and they are invincible in the world!" Zhang Liao's heart was shocked.
An old man stepped forward and said, "May I ask this general!" Are you Yuan Jun or Cao Jun? "
Zhang Liao saluted, "Oh! In the next Zhang Liao, is the former general of the Great Han, are you? "
The old man immediately fell to the ground, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Xi'an Pingcheng City Shougongsun Li has seen the former general (AJBF), but I didn't expect that in his lifetime, he could wait for the former general of the imperial court to come over." "
Zhang Liao hurriedly picked him up and ordered, "Gongsun Chengshou!" You quickly send people to repair the city wall, clean up the battlefield, and we will go north to Xiangping." "
"No!" Gongsun Li said excitedly, and paused, "Former general! Don't your troops need to go with some money and food? "
Zhang Liao was very strange and asked, "The prime minister gave us abundant money and food, we don't need yours, you can keep it for yourself." "
"What a benevolent and righteous division, the previous troops did not raid us. Whining! Gongsun Li was so moved that he cried.
"The prime minister is very strict in governing the army, and he will never take a needle or thread from the people." Zhang Liao explained, pausing, "But your city is too chaotic, let's save a day to help you sort it out." "
Get! Zhang Liao not only did not want money and grain from Xi'an Pingcheng, but also helped people tidy up the city, moving the people in the city to tears.
Moreover, Xiang Chu led 40,000 troops and went all the way north along the Bohai coastline, only to encounter a small group of troops, and when he saw Xiang Chu coming, he avoided it from a distance.
However, Cao Cao's seat of government in Liaodong County, Xiangpingcheng, instead placed 5,000 troops and garrisoned by Xiahou Wei and Xun Fu.
Xiang Chu arrived near Xiangping City, expecting that the defenders in the city did not have the information on their cross-sea operation, and first sent a hundred back-to-back troops and flying soldiers to attack the southern city gate.
Sure enough! At this time, Xiahou Wei was drinking and having fun in the city, and the five thousand soldiers did not go to the city wall to defend, and the four city gates were guarded by only 100 people.
The back-to-back soldiers and flying soldiers seemed to fall from the sky, and it was already dark when the defenders of the southern city gate found out.
The back-to-back soldiers and flying soldiers directly controlled the south city gate, the city gate was taken, and the drawbridge was lowered.
Xiang Chu led the army quickly rushed to the southern city gate, and the news immediately reached Xiahou Wei's ears.
The soldiers of the city gate rushed to the city guard and shouted loudly: "General! Xiang Chu personally led the army to kill. "
"What! How did he get here? Xia Hou Wei was so frightened that he woke up seven points and roared, "Follow me to fight and block Xiang Chu." (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
However, most of the defenders in Xiangping City were locals, and they were not willing to work hard for Cao Cao at all, so they took the opportunity to take off their uniforms and run.
Xia Hou was helpless, only took more than a hundred of his cronies, and went to the west gate, and even Xun Yu didn't have time to call.
Xun Yu heard that Xiang Chu's army had entered the city, and rushed to the city to defend the mansion, wanting to find Xiahou Wei to escape together.
Xiang Chu had already occupied the city guarding mansion, and when he saw him coming, he stepped forward and said, "Gongda!" Don't come unharmed. "
Xun Chu's face turned red, it was not that he didn't have a chance to serve Xiang Chu, but he always felt that Cao Cao could achieve greater things, but now he had become Xiang Chu's prisoner, and he didn't know what to say.
However, as a scholar, he still had a wind bone, and he hurriedly bowed down and returned the salute.
"Cheng, Prime Minister, the public is courteous."
"Your uncle has already served the imperial court, you pearl secretly, let's follow your uncle."
Xun Yu pondered for a while, then lowered his head and said, "Gongda is willing to be loyal to Prime Minister Cheng, but can he not join the army?" "
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Of course you can, there are too few handsome talents like you who can govern the world." "
Xiang Chu accepted Xun Fu and recruited talents in Xiangping, recruiting local celebrities such as Gongsun Du, Lunzhi, Jia Fan, and Wei Yan.
Xiang Chu knew that Gongsun Du was a ruthless man in history, and once proclaimed himself the Marquis of Liaodong and the Mu of Pingzhou, conquered Goguryeo in the east, attacked Wuhuan in the west, took the Liaodong Peninsula in the south, and crossed the sea to take the Donglai counties in the north of the Eastern Peninsula to expand the territory.
Moreover, he recruited talents, set up a museum to open a school, recruited displaced people, and pretended to be the king of Liaodong.
If it weren't for Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao's containment, especially Cao Cao coming to bring him down, he would probably soar into the sky.
"Do I need such a person?" Xiang Chu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
