Chapter 956: West Pyeongchang Falls
The four counties of Pingguo, Pingyuan, Ande, and West Pyeongchang are all relatively easy to take.
After all, Zhang Yan's subordinates are also panicked now, and the morale of the defenders is also very low.
But if you want to win Gaotang, it's not so easy.
After all, the whole Qingzhou is just such a ferry, from the plains to Gaotang.
No matter what Zhang Yan is, he will naturally leave heavy troops in Gaotang.
What's more, it is just the beginning of spring, and it is not easy to cross the river.
This matter is not easy for Zhao Feng, and it is also not easy for Zhang Yan.
If Zhao Feng gave up attacking Gaotang, then Zhao Feng only needed to send troops to garrison in the plains north of the Yellow River in Pingyuan County, and the rest of the counties only needed to send regular county soldiers to garrison.
Moreover, the troops of the border defense line of Bohai County and Qinghe Kingdom can also be sent to other places to garrison.
For example, the 10,000 female soldiers who are now stationed in Xiuxian, Chonghe, and Yangxin are not necessary to be stationed in these places.
But if you don't take advantage of the current situation and quickly take down Gaotang, when Zhang Yan recovers, he will definitely garrison heavy troops in Gaotang.
When the time comes, if Zhao Feng wants to lead his troops to cross the Yellow River and attack the entire territory of Qingzhou, it will only be more difficult.
Of course, the reason why Zhao Feng hesitated was also because of the war in Youzhou.
Although a few days ago, Zhao Feng sent Zhou Cang's 12,500 troops, Bao Jian's 10,000 troops, and Tai Shici's 6,000 troops to attack Youzhou together.
But this army of less than 30,000 will not only have to fight with the armies of Xian Yufu, Qi Zhou, Xian Yuyin and others, but also with Yan Rou's Wuhuan and Xianbei armies.
Maybe he will also fight with Gongsun Zhan's tens of thousands of troops.
After all, Gongsun Zhan's army, in the case of fighting to support the war, has obvious signs of recovery.
No one knows what Gongsun Chan will think in the end.
In this way, this army of less than 30,000 is overstretched.
And in order to avoid Gongsun Zan and return to his previous ambitions, Zhao Feng will inevitably send more troops to continue to reinforce the battlefield on the other side of Youzhou.
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Feng still didn't come up with a better solution, so he could only put it aside for the time being.
Early the next morning, Zhang He, Wen Chou, and Xu Huang led the army, left the barracks, and headed for their respective destinations.
Zhao Yun also led his troops out of the barracks and began to clean up the remnants of the Montenegrin Army north of the Yellow River in Pingyuan County.
Zhao Feng also led a large army and set sail to West Pyeongchang.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Feng had already led more than 20,000 troops and arrived at the city of West Pingchang.
West Pyeongchang is just an ordinary county seat, and the city wall is three feet high.
Zhao Feng did not come down to set up camp, but looked at Xiong Da: "Xiong Da, go to the city to call the battle." ”
"Let's just say that our department has sent a large army to attack the three counties of Qiguo, Ande, and Pingyuan."
"Sooner or later, West Pyeongchang will become an isolated city."
"Let the West Pyeongchang County order, either surrender, or we will take a strong attack!"
Xiong Da bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”
After saying that, he rode his horse and ran to the city of West Pyeongchang.
With the strength of Zhao Feng's army of more than 20,000 people, it is not too difficult to storm West Pingchang.
It was only in order to reduce the casualties that Zhao Feng asked Xiong Da to persuade him to surrender.
After all, it would be good to have fewer soldiers dead.
And with the Leling County Commander surrendering in front, the West Pyeongchang County Commander can't withstand the pressure, and the probability of choosing to surrender is also very large.
After all, 20,000 soldiers are coming to the city, and this pressure is not small, and not everyone can withstand the pressure.
It took less than a moment.
Xiong Da rode back and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Return to the lord!" ”
"West Pyeongchang County Order, willing to surrender!"
Zhao Feng laughed and said, "Okay! ”
"Send a fast horse and send this news to Zhang He, Wen Chou, and Xu Huang."
"Maybe with this news, the land of the three counties of the Beard Country, Ande, and the Plains will also fall from the wind!"
Zhao Feng's statement is often there.
At the beginning, when the Montenegrin Army led an army of 100,000 respectively to besiege Dongguang and Gaocheng, the families, Haoqiang, and people in Dongguang and Gaocheng City were worried that Zhao Feng would not be able to hold on to this side, so they sought their own way out.
At that time, Zhao Feng's side was not obviously defeated, and there were already people who couldn't sit still.
If Zhao Feng experienced several major defeats, or Nanpi failed to resist, then Fuyang, Zhangwu and other places would also be likely to fall from the wind.
If Zhao Feng can't organize the second line of defense, there will be more counties behind him, and he will look at the wind.
After all, the pressure of hundreds of thousands of troops, no county order can withstand it.
What's more, now, Zhang Yan has been defeated repeatedly, hundreds of thousands of troops have been wiped out, and morale has long been very low.
In addition, the Leling County Order was the first to surrender, and the West Pyeongchang County Order followed closely after the surrender, so the other county orders followed and surrendered, and there was no psychological pressure at all.
It didn't take long.
The north city gate of West Pyeongchang was opened directly, and then a group of soldiers quickly went out of the city to line up.
Then the first official, with a group of other officials, quickly walked out of the city.
In order to show his prestige, Zhao Feng rode on the Absolute Dust and did not make any movements.
I waited patiently for this West Pyeongchang County Order, and brought officials at all levels in West Pyeongchang to send the roster and county order seals.
After a cup of tea time.
The officials headed by Xi Pingchang, with Xi Pingchang and his party of officials, walked in front of Zhao Feng and made a kneeling salute: "Xia Guan Xi Pingchang Order, meet King Zhao!" ”
Then a group of officials behind him hurriedly shouted: "I'll wait to meet King Zhao!" ”
Zhao Feng directly denied: "I haven't succeeded to the throne of King Zhao yet, you don't need to call me King Zhao." ”
The order of West Pyeongchang County immediately changed his words: "Meet the general!" ”
Zhao Feng nodded, and then raised his hand in the air: "Get up!" ”
Zhao Feng's official position in the army is the position of a general, so it is okay to be called Zhao Feng Zhao Zhoumu or a general.
In addition, now in the Han world, there are already many princes.
So it's okay to call Zhao Feng the king of Zhao.
It's just that Zhao Feng doesn't recognize it for the time being.
And after all, this is the area of Qingzhou Plain County, these outsiders, calling Zhao Feng Zhaozhou Mu, will have disrespectful meaning in it, so it is most reasonable to call the martial general.
After all, the position of state pastor alone cannot govern the Qingzhou area.
The county commander of West Pingchang gave a kneeling bow to Zhao Feng: "Thank you, General!" ”
A group of officials in the rear of the West Pyeongchang County Order followed with a kneeling salute and shouted: "Thank you, General!" ”
Then the crowd stood up one after another.
After the group stood up, the Xipingchang County Commander took the wooden plate from the entourage's hands, and then presented it with both hands: "General, this is the seal of the Xipingchang County Order, as well as the roster of officials at all levels in Xipingchang, and the people's register." ”
Xiong Da turned over and dismounted, walked to the front of the West Pingchang County Commander, took the wooden plate with both hands, and then handed it to Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng stared at the wooden plate and groaned.
