After releasing the eagle, within three days, Zhong Yu and others rushed to the northern part of Liaoxi County and joined the army going south from Chifeng County.
The commander of the army in the direction of Chifeng is his general Zhang Liao. After Sun Jian's rebellion, Zhang Liao gained his trust and importance.
And he showed his abilities in the constant wars, and was promoted to a general under his command. He was in charge of 50,000 of the 300,000 troops of the Imperial Kingdom, guarding the southern border for himself, and preventing and waiting for opportunities to invade the Yan Kingdom.
At this moment, a group of people came in front of the marching army, but the soldiers they saw along the way did not dare to stop them. Instead, they knelt on the ground and now this group of people saluted.
When this group of people reached the center of the army, which was the army directly under Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao, who had already received the news, rushed out quickly, came to the front of this group of people, and knelt down in single paint to salute.
"The last general, Zhang Liao, paid homage to His Majesty. He was not informed of His Majesty's arrival and could not welcome him from afar. I still go to Your Majesty to forgive me!"
"It doesn't have to be like this, General Zhang, get up!"
After some polite greetings, Zhong Yu told Zhang Liao about his action.
He briefly talked about the key points and fully revealed his preparations and advantages this time, so that Zhang Liao, the commander of this army, could have a clear idea and make the best choice.
"I see, why did your Majesty suddenly go south? This is inconsistent with His Majesty's previous strategy. He actually got the seal of the second most powerful person in Britain and their highest military officer. This is a God-given opportunity. Our country is destined to prosper. !" Zhang Liao had a look of surprise on his face, and he was obviously extremely lucky that his majesty could meet such a pig teammate of the Yan Kingdom like Yan Chunjun.
"Exactly, I didn't expect that until I saw Lord Yan Chun appear in front of me like this, I suddenly had an idea and came up with such a way. With this command talisman, the entire Yan Kingdom will be defeated under the iron hooves of my great emperor. My bottom is shaking!" Having said this, Zhong Yu was also extremely proud.
"Since we have this good opportunity, we will act quickly to prevent the defenders of these counties from being prepared after getting the news!" Zhang Liao looked anxious, obviously worried that after Yan Chunjun returned, he would give these counties The defenders released the news, and then the command talisman would no longer work.
"What you said is true. Let our army march quickly and strive to capture the entire Liaoxi County within three days!" Although Zhong Yu did not think that Yan Chunjun had the courage to tell Ling Fu what he had done. , but just in case, he still ordered to march quickly.
The army marched in a meandering way. Although there were many people, 50,000 in total, stretching for more than ten miles, they couldn't bear it. They were all cavalry, and they had one man and two horses. After just an hour or two, they approached the Yan Kingdom in Liaoxi County. Border.
"Who are you? Stop quickly. This is the land of the Yan Kingdom. Do you want to invade our Yan Kingdom?" When the border guard saw this army of more than 50,000 people, he got it in front of his own pass. His face was horrified, but he still fulfilled his duty and asked sternly.
"Humph, we came here just at the invitation of your Yan State. This is the order of Yan Chunjun of Yan State, and the order of your General Yan State. You can take it and take a look. Are there any omissions? No. If you want to, hurry up and open the city gate and let me wait for you to enter the customs!" Zhang Liao snorted coldly, took out the command talisman that his majesty just gave him from his arms, and the customs release note signed by Yan Chunjun, and held him high He raised it high to signal the people above the city to come down and get it.
When the guard saw the person in front of him, he did not attack the city immediately. Instead, he said that he came here at the request of some important figures in the Yan Kingdom and was preparing to enter the pass.
I felt a little uneasy in my heart. Could it be that something had happened within Yan State? As a small person, he didn't dare to have too many ideas. Instead, he motioned to a guard beside him to go down to the city to get the talisman.
After some tedious evidence collection, the guard in front of him finally confirmed that the order complied with the order, was not fraudulent, and completely complied with Yan State's format.
It was confirmed that the person in front of him was indeed the one who requested entry under the orders of Lord Yan Chun and the general. He felt uneasy and didn't know how to make a decision.
As a soldier, obeying the orders of his superiors is what he should do.
But Yan Chunjun and the general, both of whom could completely control his existence, issued this order at the same time. Logically speaking, he should obey it.
However, his sense of honor and sense of responsibility as a soldier of the Yan State made him dare not open the city gate and let these troops of unknown origin enter the city, for fear of bringing some disaster to the Yan State
"Have you thought about it? The city gate cannot be opened. If not, then we will leave. Then you, the big shots of Yan State, will blame you, but it will be your responsibility alone. If the family is implicated, don't blame me. I reminded you!" Zhang Liao below, although extremely uneasy, still said forcefully, and did not forget to threaten the defender.
'This, my family, yeah. '
The guard shuddered in his heart when he thought of Yan Chunjun's past methods of dealing with his political opponents, which meant that no one was spared and the whole clan was killed. With a chill in his heart, he quickly did not dare to delay and said to Zhang Liao below:
"General, don't be anxious. I will open the city gate right now. If you come, if you don't hurry up and open the city for the general below, if you delay your business, I will kill you!"
"Yes, young one, go and open the door now!" Several pawns nearby heard their general speaking and responded quickly, for fear that they would be used as a punching bag or take the blame!
As the creaking sound rang out, the defense that had blocked countless nomadic tribes in the past and went south to attack the grass valley opened its chest to the imperial army and allowed itself to be squeezed.
Under the unbearable eyes of the guard, Zhang Liao's army marched into the city.
But he did not leave immediately. Instead, he directly controlled the garrison of only 10,000 people in the city and disarmed them.
In the guard's incredible eyes, he looked at his head and the imperial flag rising in the city. It was announced that this city had changed its owner and became a gate city under the imperial government.
Three days later, the entire western Liaoning was brought under the rule of Yuguo, and all cities were destroyed or surrendered.
With the order of Yan Chunjun, they did not encounter much resistance at all and suffered almost no losses. They captured the Liaoxi County of Yan State.
At the same time, the eastern Liaodong County of Liaoxi County was also captured by Cao Cao, the commander of the army in the direction of Tongliao City, leading an army of 50,000.
Directly control the 80,000 troops in Liaodong County and reorganize them. I believe that after half a month or one month, they will be able to barely control them and follow Cao Cao's army to march towards the capital of Yan.
At this time, Youbeiping County next to Liaoxi County had almost received the changes in Liaoxi in the east, and had already taken certain vigilance and precautions.
But how could Youbeiping County, which only had more than 20,000 defenders, be able to stop the subsequent attack of more than 200,000 troops from Yuguo
It can only play a delaying role and buy a certain amount of time for the defense of Yandu, the capital of Yan State.
