Qin Feng looked at the strange expressions of his subordinates, and was suspicious in his heart.

Xu Huang knew that the fire in the grain and grass camp was a serious crime, and no matter what the reason was, as a guard, he was responsible. He does not complain, but dares to take responsibility. He bowed: "My lord, the fire in the camp is Xu Huang's fault, please punish the lord." ”

Qin Feng frowned slightly, and said, "Such a strict thing, it's not when you show that you love soldiers like a son, let's say, who caused the fire?" ”

Xu Huang looked embarrassed.

Qin Feng was displeased because of this.

Xu Shu, as the first military division, immediately went out and played: "Qi Yu Lord, there is something strange in it, it is estimated that the lord can't believe it, so General Xu Huang can't answer for a while." ”

"Something is wrong? What's weird? Qin Feng wondered.

At this time, Xu Huang mustered up his courage and said, "Lord Qiqi, it was a mouse who stole oil and knocked over the oil lamp. The battalion is well prepared, and it will not cause a fire. Somehow, the lamp oil overturned on the rat, and the wick was lit and became a fire rat. As it ran around, the oil on its body quickly ignited the ...... of the object, so it ...... Hence the fire. ”

Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, "You...... You say it was a rat that started the fire? ”

Xu Huang said embarrassedly: "Exactly." He hurriedly said: "It is the last general's dereliction of duty, and the camp will definitely exterminate ...... rats in the future." ”

The grain and grass camp caught fire, and Qin Feng was besieged on Guangning Peak with a misjudgment, and his life was almost over. "The culprit of this qiē turned out to be a mouse!" Qin Feng couldn't close his mouth in shock, in his opinion, this thing was very fucked by him.

I'm afraid this matter can be called a natural disaster, and Xu Huang can't be punished for this matter. After Qin Feng thought about it, he got up and said with a smile: "If it weren't for this rat stealing oil." I can't wipe out Gongsun Chan's main force so quickly. Although there are many twists and turns, it is providential. Manpower cannot be forced. Where is the body of this mouse, and it is ...... to be buried. ”

Bury a mouse! Immediately, everyone's expressions became strange.

However, the party Xu Huang is grateful to Dade. He bowed: "My lord, Xu Huang will redouble his efforts in the future and never let such a thing happen again." ”

Everyone suddenly realized that it was the lord who had such a strange behavior, and gently took over the matter, and Xu Huang, who was dragged down by a mouse, did not have to carry the black pot for the mouse.

"The lord is still so benevolent to a small creature, Jia Xu can't do it." Jia Xu said loudly.

"The Lord is kind and righteous and kind to living beings." And they all prayed together.

And so. Qin Feng corrected it for a day in Yiwu Lu Mountain, and on the next day, he raised an army of 170,000 and looked at Guangning City.

In addition, after the tragedy caused by a rat spread among the Qin army, it gradually spread to the people. "Wow, it's because of a mouse!"

"The prime minister is the brother of the Emperor of Heaven, and it must be the Emperor of Heaven who sent this mouse as a guiding ......."

"Later, the old man of the Emperor of Heaven gave Ganquan on the mountain to help the prime minister and defeated Gongsun Zhan's army."

"What you say is true!" When the people heard this, they were amazed and talked about it.

Quang Ninh city.

"What! You say it was because a rat started the fire. Guide zhì many things later! Gongsun Chan could hardly believe that he had been defeated by a rat in the final analysis. His face turned blue and white, and he couldn't accept the reality that he was defeated by a mouse.

"Lord, listen to the folk rumors. Qin Zijin sealed the rat as a "rebellious captain" ....... Guan Jing said.

When Gongsun Chan heard this, he was furious and slapped him. He knocked Guan Jing fan to the ground. He said to Yang Zuo, who was in shock on the side: "Order the three armies to be on alert, and fight to the death with Qin Zijin in this Guangning City!" ”

Yang Zuo saw that the left side of Guan Jing's face was swollen and tall. His face couldn't help but ache faintly, and he exclaimed, "Oh! After saying that, he hurriedly walked out. The heart said I'd better slip away. Otherwise, the next palm will be on your face.

"And!" Gongsun Chan shouted again: "Order the people of the whole city to exterminate rats, exterminate rats!" ”

"Whoa! Rest assured, the lord will definitely kill all the rats in the city! Yang Zuo replied loudly.

"No, no!" At this time, Guan Jing on the ground eased up and shouted: "Lord, Guangning City is small. It should be retreated to Xiangping City first, and then the garrisons of Daifang County and Lelang County should be mobilized. Rely on these soldiers and horses and strong men to fight to the death with Qin Feng in Xiangping! ”

"Huh?" Gongsun Chan hesitated when he heard this.

Guan Jing didn't want to accompany Gongsun Zan to die in the small city of Guangning, so he continued: "My lord, if you return to Xiangping, you can send a messenger to Xianbei and ask Xianbei Wang Kebi to send reinforcements. As long as it is winter, Qin Feng will definitely retreat. ”

In ancient times, there were few military operations in winter, especially expeditions of thousands of miles.

Gongsun Zhan nodded slightly, he knew that the harsh winter in the northeast of Youzhou was cruel, often dozens of degrees below zero, and the soldiers camping in the field must have frozen to death countless times. He said, "Will Xianbei send reinforcements?" ”

Guan Jing said: "Yes, there must be a truce on the grassland in winter." The lord can go to the letter and be able to do it with Nakobi. Whenever the lord is defeated, Qin Feng will know about Kebineng's conspiracy. With Qin Zi's disposition to repay when he enters the eyes, he will inevitably wave his army to the prairie. If the Qin army, Karasuma, and Xiongnu join forces, Xianbei will definitely lose the country. That Xianbei Wang Kebineng will definitely make the choice of sending troops to support. ”

What Guan Jing said was very reasonable, and Gongsun Zhan took his words and ordered him to retreat to Xiangping, the old nest. At the same time, he sent envoys to Xianbei to seek support.

……

With the retreat of Gongsun Zhan, Qin Feng occupied the city of Guangning. At this time, it was already the end of August, so Qin Feng was facing a problem, that is, it would enter winter in a month. In the later generations of Liaodong, it was the boundary of the northeast, and the severe cold in winter was unusually cruel.

As the saying goes: if you pee in the wild, your little brother will be frozen into a popsicle.

Guangning City, Qin Feng temporarily traveled.

"My lord, the middle of winter will be extremely detrimental to our army......." Xu Shu said.

Qin Feng was noncommittal and said, "What do you mean? ”

Xu Shu and Jia Xu glanced at each other and said, "Lord, are you stationed in place?" Just hoarding supplies, grain and grass in the winter, he will be able to eliminate Gongsun Chan in one go at the beginning of the spring of the next year. ”

After Qin Feng thought about it, he shook his head and said, "In this way, Gongsun Chan will have a four-month buffer time. He still has four counties in his hands, enough to reorganize an army of more than 100,000 people. The coming year was at war. Our army will surely suffer more losses as a result! ”

Of course, Xu Shu and Jia Xu knew that what the lord said was the truth, but in their eyes. The winter march is even more terrifying, and if you are not careful, you will be in danger of annihilation.

Jia Xujin said: "My lord. If it snows in winter, our army will definitely be in trouble in the field, please think twice. ”

"Please think twice." Xu Shu said.

"There's still a month to ......." Qin Feng stood up suddenly, "Order the whole army to march to Xiangping tomorrow, take Xiangping City before winter, suppress Gongsun Zhan's strategic space, and make adequate preparations for next year's decisive battle." If you can't do anything, return to Changli County before winter. ”

Qin Feng's plan was. Before winter, they snatched the land of Gongsun Zhan and the two counties and drove them to Lelang. In this way, Gongsun Zhan will have two remaining counties, Lelang and Daifang, and if he marches again in the coming year, it will be much smoother.

"Whoa!" This plan was the best at the moment, so the two military divisions immediately went down to arrange it.

On the first day of the ninth month of the fourth year of Jian'an, that is, on the first day of September in 195 AD, Qin Feng's 170,000 troops surrounded Xiangping.

On the second day of the ninth month, amid the shouts of killing, the 90,000 infantry of the Qin army launched a powerful siege on the city. Ladder. Catapults, well fences, rushing vehicles, and gunpowder smoke enveloped the entire Xiangping City.

"Defend with all your might. Hookgunner against the ladder. Rolling stones deal with the rushing cars, and the sassal wood smashes down the city, pouring boiling oil and igniting it. Watch out for the boulder ...... of enemy catapults. "Gongsun Zhan Rongma has been a horse all his life. At this time, even if he was at a disadvantage, he still calmly commanded the city defense battle.

And he coerced 300,000 strong men to assist in defending the city. If you count the heads alone, he still has a certain advantage.

Rolling stones, sasswood, oil and so on. The Gongsun family guarded Liaodong for decades and hoarded countless materials. The Qin army suffered a brutal blow, losing as many as 5,000 men in half an hour. The corpses under the city were strewn all over the field, the stumps and broken arms were densely packed, and the internal organs slid everywhere with the blood and water.

He lost five thousand people in half an hour, so Qin Feng would have to ride half of the men and horses in one day, and he couldn't afford such a loss. So, Qin Feng decisively gave the order to temporarily withdraw his troops.

"The Qin army has retreated!"

"The Qin army has retreated!"

The Gongsun army at the head of the city also suffered a huge blow, losing more than 10,000 people under the attack of the powerful elite Qin army's flying arrow catapults, especially the blows of the elite 3,000 Yuan Rong crossbowmen. This is simply unimaginable elsewhere, because since ancient times, it has always been the defenders who have suffered smaller casualties. So when they saw the Qin army retreating, the soldiers defending the city breathed a sigh of relief.

"Qin Feng is defeated, hahaha, Qin Zijin ran away with his tail between his legs!" Gongsun Chan shouted excitedly. Anyway, he finally managed to get a victory.

"Qin Zijin, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, ran away with his tail between his legs!" At the request of Gongsun Zhan, hundreds of thousands of people in the city chanted together.

The cry shook the sky, and in this call, Qin Feng returned to the camp ten miles away with a pale face.

"Xiangping City is well defended, and the two military advisors will quickly come up with a plan for Benxiang." Qin Feng said with an embarrassed face.

Xu Shu groaned, and he stared carefully at Xiangping City in the sand table. The city is heavily guarded, and the garrison is abundant, and it is difficult to use it when you are idle.

Jia Xu just glanced at the terrain, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Lord, the water of the mouth is poured into Xiangping, and within a day, Xiangping will become a vast ocean." Without spending a single soldier, the lord can sit high in the ...... of Xiangping City. ”

"Ahh Xu Shu's face turned pale when he heard this, if this plan was successful, hundreds of thousands of people in Xiangping City would definitely be killed and injured in the merciless water. Killing hundreds of thousands of people in one go, or civilians, is really poisonous! He couldn't help but lose his voice and said: "Jia Xu, this plan is out of the way, hundreds of thousands of people in Xiangping died tragically!" The plan here is harmful to the heavens and the peace, how can you offer such a poisonous plan to the lord! ”

It's not that Xu Shu can't think of such a strategy, but in his eyes, Qin Feng is benevolent, righteous and loves the people, and he will never use such a strategy.

However, Jia Xu rolled his eyelids, and said in his heart, Master Xu, you don't understand, the lord is much more poisonous than Jia Xu. Isn't it just hundreds of thousands of people, and it's not under the rule of the lord, what's the panic?

"Lord, these are hundreds of thousands of living beings, and they will all be the lord's people in the future. The lord must not listen to Jia Xu's slander, and he must not use the tricks of this poisoner! Xu Shubai shouted.

Jia Xu stood aside expressionlessly, the war was unscrupulous, and in his opinion, the lord would definitely accept his plan.

Qin Feng pondered, he admired Jia Xu's strategy very much, but if the water was broken, the people would definitely be ruined, and he would become the first executioner and butcher in history, which was not a good reputation. Qin Feng hesitated again. (To be continued......)
