The army marched to Kaesong, but found that Kaesong had no defenses at all, the city gate was open, Wen Chou certainly would not miss such a God-given opportunity, and led a cavalry to attack Kaesong, it is conceivable that he did not encounter any resistance and entered the city, and then more than 100,000 Jizhou troops entered Kaesong.

Wen Chou took control of the county guard for the first time, but there was no gain, Huang Zhong and Xu Fang ran away, and even the county soldiers went home separately, fearing that they would suffer from the pond fish, Wen Chou ordered the troops to accept important military facilities such as Kaesong city defense and grain warehouses, and at the same time issued a list of Anmin, and at the same time reported to Jizhou that he had completely occupied Langya.

Kaecheng and in control, even if the other counties of Langya have not been taken, it doesn't matter, but is Langya County really occupied by them, at least at this moment Huang Zhong and Xu Fang don't think so, they are hiding in the shadows, waiting to give Wen Chou a fatal blow at any time.

In fact, this point, including Wen Chou, is also very clear, Liu Lan has already transferred Guan Yu away, but Huang Zhong has never left, this is like a trick, to put it bluntly, it is to bluff them, so that they are afraid and dare not make a rash offense, but if they really want to come, don't say that they dare not resist, just think, Liu Lan will not allow it, the difference in strength is too big, there is no chance of winning, so why send them to death in vain, but let them break it individually, this kind of mistake, not to mention that Liu Lan will not make it, even if it is an idiot, he will not make it.

Issuing a list of Anmin, this kind of thing Wen Chou and Gao Ran are no strangers, first let the city return to normal operation, this is the first thing they have done after capturing the county seat over the years, this is their experience, it can also be said to be their ears, first let the forces in Kaicheng County stabilize, even if Liu Lan will come back, but they are now in the city, at least some small actions should be properly restrained, which is good for everyone.

Stabilizing these big families can be regarded as completely stabilizing Kaesong, no matter what, Liu Lan has been operating here for so many years, and it is natural to do something that should be done inside and outside, and his purpose is to let these people be able to restrain a little, and then, you can find out who should be wooed, who should be disintegrated and divided, of course, the ultimate goal is to really control Kaesong.

Since the two agreed that step by step is the key to capturing Xuzhou, then from Kaecheng is the first step they take, this step has laid a good foundation, it is possible to gradually grasp the opportunity of the entire Xuzhou, otherwise it is like Gao Ran's blind pursuit, thinking of taking Xuzhou in one go, and the final result of the army has also been seen, after Zang Ba's counterattack, those counties that were captured by them once again returned to Liu Lan's control, and even the counties did not even resist, and directly opened the city to meet, Even the people took the initiative to stabilize the situation.

The time and place are favorable, this is the people of Xuzhou, they must serve customers, and if they want to serve customers, the triple means of co-opting and differentiation and suppression are carried out at the same time, which is an indispensable means, first to ensure that the officials and officials who remain remain unchanged, let them work for themselves, and at the same time to appease the people through them, they began to understand the situation of the clans in Kaicheng, who is close to Liu Lan, who has been suppressed, and even those clans are left and right or ambiguous attitudes.

With this information in hand, Wen Chou dared to guarantee that in less than three days, he would be able to keep Kaecheng completely under his control, at least when Liu Lan counterattacked, no one in the city would eat inside and outside to open the city gate for them.

Although Wen Chou is a military general, his methods must not be bad, just like at this moment, when he was appeasing the officials, after telling them that their official positions would not change, when they were excited, they would suddenly seem to say casually, and asked Huang Zhong when Xu Fang left, and where he left from, quietly, and heard the answer he wanted from their mouths.

These topics may seem inconsequential, but they allow him to know whether the two of them are in a hurry at the time, and which direction they left can determine where they have been, and these details are enough for him to determine where Kaesong Shouchun is.

And these officials, some of them invited merit, some didn't react, and even some people didn't know at all, but these news made Wen Chou completely know in his heart, and then let these people leave after telling them, and of course they won't be lazy, after all, they are the generals of Jizhou, and they are about to attack Yancheng, how can they waste so much time on themselves?

But Wen Chou could not have any military affairs that he needed to deal with, Gao Ran's existence was like his housekeeper, and he didn't need to worry about logistics at all, and he was responsible for the affairs in Kaicheng, of course, there was also the situation of Huang Zhong and others, and through the temptation just now, he had already made a decision, and immediately called Gao Ran.

"General, is there any news on you?" After reading the news of the Gao Yu problem, who was in charge of the garrison of the troops, he hurried over with the matter at hand for the time being, and asked impatiently as soon as he entered the door.

"I heard some news, but it's not good news, just now I heard from a small official in Kaesong that Huang Zhong and they left from the West Gate."

"Simon?" Gao Ran subconsciously said. If Huang Zhong and the others retreated to Yancheng, it would be most reasonable to leave directly through the south gate, but he left the west gate, what is the situation? Or did they not go to Yancheng at all, but stayed in Kaesong or went elsewhere?

"Yes, I've gone Westgate, what do you think about this?" Wen Chou's face was a little solemn like a pig, and it seemed that Wen Chou also felt strange about this matter, and even worried about it.

"It's nothing more than some small moves before they leave, so that we don't dare to venture in, or they retreat to Dongguan and other places." There are only two possibilities for this matter, of course, he also knows very well that there is another possibility to stay in Langya and wait for the opportunity, but this possibility is not very likely, and it is even a little risky, so if it is him, it is impossible to let Bu go down and take this risk, after all, this is completely luck.

"Can't be careless." At this time, Wen Chou was more cautious than Gao Ran, carefully sailing the ship for ten thousand years, and it was better to investigate the surrounding dynamics while stabilizing the situation in Langya, and it was also considered to be a comfort, if it was worry-free, then it could be done step by step, if Huang Zhong and Xu Fang really stayed in Langya or arrived in Dongguan, hehe, that's right, first take the heads of the two of them to sacrifice the flag.

Each break, first easy and then difficult, this is their unanimous decision in this battle, of course, such a possibility is actually the two of them know that it is unlikely to appear, and a head-on duel with Guan Yu is inevitable, but if such a situation occurs, then they must not easily miss it, not to mention breaking it one by one, but it can be regarded as consuming Xuzhou's vital force, which is only good for them to achieve the final victory.

After the two made a decision, Wen Chou sent scouts to investigate, while Gao Ran continued to deal with the garrison of the troops, which troops were defending the county guard in the city, which troops were going to defend the city gates, and whose troops were going to be stationed outside the city, all of which were to be handled by him, of course, the most important thing was the matter of grain and grass.

In fact, this time they came to Langya, and only brought more than a month's worth of grain in advance, he would not transport all the grain and grass over, or even put it in Langya, this is just waiting for the destruction of the family, once it was burned by the scouts in Xuzhou, even if these people could be caught, they would not be able to make up for their losses with a thousand cuts.

So he and Wen Chou made a decision specifically about the grain matter, taking Beihai County as the grain storage station, of course, it will not be a drama county, the goal is too big, but it will not play a hidden role, but he chose a very inconspicuous small county town in Beihai County, where to store grain, safe enough, Liu Lan will definitely not think of it.

~~~~~~~~

When Wen Chou and Gao Ran fell asleep and spent the first night in Kaecheng, Liu Lan, who was far away in Xuzhou, couldn't sleep for a long time, he turned over and got out of bed for this, stood in front of the window with a coat, and the night breeze was whistling outside the window.

This is not because of the night wind, but because of the loss of Kaecheng, these years, the land of Xuzhou has been the last fortress except for Dongguan County Langya, whether it is Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, they are all in Langya Army stopped, even him and Cao Bao, but it is not like Langya County is still lost in the end, although all this has his relationship, for the final victory of the Battle of Xuzhou, but this feeling is not good, try to ask even he will have such a feeling, how will the generals and Wenchen below think?

This is like the Great Wall defense line, although the Han Dynasty has been in the north, the area far exceeds the Great Wall, all the way to the north, but no matter how north, the Great Wall is the last line of defense, and Langya is such a existence in the hearts of Xuzhou officials, at this time I heard that Langya was captured by them, as if they suddenly heard that the Great Wall was broken by the Hu people, panic and even fear.

"I heard some news, but it's not good news, just now I heard from a small official in Kaesong that Huang Zhong and they left from the West Gate."

"Simon?" Gao Ran subconsciously said. If Huang Zhong and the others retreated to Yancheng, it would be most reasonable to leave directly through the south gate, but he left the west gate, what is the situation? Or did they not go to Yancheng at all, but stayed in Kaesong or went elsewhere?
