Chapter 750: Gongsun Du falls ill

The eyes of the world also converged on Liaodong again, from the body of the Youzhou army, the princes felt a strong threat, different from the Bingzhou army, the time for the formation of the Youzhou army was still short, and in such a short time, the Youzhou army had such combat effectiveness, and Lu Bu became more terrifying in their eyes.

From Lu Bu's actions, they felt that a prince who was full of aggression, and was unwilling to give up even a remote place like Liaodong, once such a figure freed up, how terrible it would be for the princes of the Central Plains, but at this time, the princes were immersed in their own interests, and they lacked enough attention to remote places such as Youzhou.

On this occasion, Jizhou was unable to attack Youzhou and Sili, and the battle of Dangyin in the last year made the Jizhou army lose its troops and generals, Yuan Shao did not want to provoke Lu Bu at this time, Cao Cao's eyes were staring at Xuzhou, and he would not cross the Yellow River to attack Hedong, and there were some contradictions between Li and Guo Yan because of the distribution of interests, and it was impossible to pose a threat to the state, so they could only watch the pace of Lu Bu's expansion.

What's more, Lu Bu's pacification of Youzhou is to occupy the righteousness, and anyone who is unfavorable to Youzhou and Merge State at this time will be difficult to gain a firm foothold morally, just like this time Jizhou's support for Gongsun Du's bed crossbow will become an excuse for Lu Bu to attack Jizhou in the future.

Besides, the state army was not dispatched, and no one wanted to provoke the state army at such a time.

After Liu Biao learned the news of Lü Bu's attack on Liaodong, he followed Kuai Liang's advice and sent an envoy to Liaodong, and vigorously praised Lü Bu's actions to maintain the Han family.

20,000 troops entered Liaodong, when the counties along the way found that the Youzhou army did not have the imaginary atrocities of the city to take refuge, and the number of Liaodong troops gathered in Xiangping also reached 20,000, which is also the last force that Liaodong can mobilize, in order to be able to resist the Youzhou army, Liaodong can be said to be making the last effort.

At this time, the people in Liaodong were panicked, how many years, Liaodong did not experience war, but this situation changed because of the Youzhou army.

Xiangping is the county governance of Liaodong, and it is also the foundation of the Gongsun family in Liaodong, these years, the Gongsun family has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in Xiangping, and Xiangping City has become a strong city in Liaodong.

The city wall of Xiangping is as high as five zhang, the thickness of the city wall is also up to four zhang, and the flat city wall can even make the cavalry run wildly, which is the city wall of Changli can not be compared, the moat is wide, and the grain and grass in the city are enough for 20,000 troops for two years.

After the bed crossbow from Jizhou arrived in Liaodong, it gave Gongsun Du great confidence, and after the soldiers in the army showed the power of the bed crossbow, Gongsun Du was overjoyed, and put such a sharp weapon on the city wall, for the soldiers besieging the city, it was definitely a lingering nightmare, from the news that the scouts inquired about, the bed crossbow range of the Youzhou army could reach about 180 steps, and the range of the Jizhou bed crossbow reached 200 steps, plus the advantage of the city wall, the range could reach 210 steps.

Gongsun Du knew that the Youzhou army also had bed crossbows, but on the battlefield in Liaodong, he did not see the Youzhou army using bed crossbows, and the Youzhou army went to Liaodong more to attack the city, compared to the thunderbolt car, the deterrence of the bed crossbow siege was much smaller, and in more cases, the crossbow arrows of the bed crossbow were a foothold for the siege soldiers to climb the city wall.

20,000 troops arrived in Xiangping, camped outside the city, caused a great shock in Xiangping, if before the war, they had absolutely no fear of the enemy, but the war told them that when the elite Liaodong Army faced the Youzhou army, it was so unbearable, especially the soldiers who fled back from Changli, it was inevitable that the meeting in the army would discuss the war in Changli.

In the army, after reading the information sent by Zhao Shu, Lu Bu frowned, he didn't expect that at this time, Jizhou actually supported the Liaodong bed crossbow, and it was still by water, which is also the shortcoming of the Youzhou army, Lu Bu has a water army, but this water army is between Jingzhou and Jiangdong, and it is difficult to play a role on the battlefield in Youzhou.

"Let the soldiers of the Flying Eagle closely inquire about the news in the city and wait for an opportunity." Lu Bu ordered, he could have a hunch that it would be very difficult to attack Xiangping, the Gongsun family had been operating in Liaodong for too long, and there were 20,000 defenders in Xiangping City, if there was no internal response, even if there were siege weapons such as thunderbolts in the army, it would be difficult to capture Liaodong in a short time.

The 20,000 Youzhou army not only had to attack Xiangping, but also beware of the army in the city, and attacking Xiangping, which was guarded by 20,000 people, with 20,000 troops, was impossible in anyone's eyes.

Long before the Youzhou army entered Liaodong, the Flying Eagle soldiers entered Xiangping City to provide information for the army, and they were good at concealment, and they were not worried about revealing their identities in the city.

"Whoa." Zhao Shu clenched his fists and left.

"Order Liaoxi to guard Sun Guang and send 5,000 soldiers and horses to come, and order Guo Jia to send 10,000 soldiers and horses to come." Lü Bu ordered that Liaodong must be captured.

Several cavalrymen hurried towards all parts of Youzhou.

In Xiangping City, Gongsun Du was sick in bed, worried, old and sick made him exhausted, and Liaodong, who had fought all his life, had to face the elite Youzhou army.

"The matter of guarding Xiangping will be handed over to you." Gongsun Du coughed lightly and said.

Liu Tai stepped forward and said: "Don't worry, the king, we will definitely assist the young master to hold Xiangping and repel the Youzhou army." ”

Gongsun Du's pale face showed a hint of a smile: "If there is anything Kang'er doesn't understand, you should consult Lord Liu in time." ”

"The child obeys." Gongsun Kang arched his hand, Gongsun Du was sick in bed, which gave him a lot of pressure, in the past, when Gongsun Du was in Liaodong, he still didn't feel anything, and suddenly there was one less person behind him who decided big things, so he had a sense of being at a loss, and Gongsun Kang didn't have the slightest good impression of the Liu family.

The main officials gathered in the house were the main officials of Liaodong, and most of them had witnessed the growth of Gongsun Du step by step, and they had confidence in the Gongsun family, which was also earned by the Gongsun family's efforts for so many years.

It's just that in the face of the Youzhou army, they also muttered a little in their hearts.

After Gongsun Kang took over the military affairs in Xiangping City, he immediately made a big move, and the most exciting thing for the generals in the army was the generous bounty offered by Gongsun Kang, killing a Youzhou sergeant was rewarded with 100 yuan, and killing the commander and the chief of the army was 200 yuan, from the soldier to the general and even Lu Bu, as long as he could kill, there would be a reward.

This caused an uproar in the army, and more soldiers sharpened their knives, ready to earn more money on the battlefield.
