"Your Majesty has no idea of ​​a decisive battle with Shun Guo. This time it was Shun Guo who took the initiative to provoke us, and only then did our Suzaku Army rise up to resist!"

"You should be able to tell from the supply of logistical materials that the imperial court will not support us in continuing to expand the scope of the war to Shunguo."

"We can't even stay in Huangshi County for long. Even if we can capture Shunfeng City, my brothers' trip will not be in vain!"

Zhu Yong led 3,000 men around the northern part of Huangshi County. The troops in various important places discovered this small army. They did not know that the commander of this army would be the commander of the Suzaku Army. , otherwise it is really possible to hunt them down.

There are generally not many troops stationed in important places, but there are exceptions. The largest number of troops is more than 5,000.

If they knew that Zhu Yong was passing by outside their station, they might be willing to risk the entire army being annihilated and chase him out.

Zhu Yong saw that the Shun troops from various places did not chase them out and did not think about capturing these places.

The three thousand soldiers and horses around him are all elites of the Suzaku Army, and they can capture important places even if there are five thousand soldiers stationed there.

Just not necessary!

Zhu Yong did not come to capture the city. The Suzaku Army only had 30,000 people, and only more than 23,000 people entered Huangshi County.

In addition to the 3,000 men he led, only 20,000 people fought against the Shun army in Huangshi County.

Gao Xiang was also discouraged by the Suzaku Army. If he had ordered all the soldiers and horses stationed in various places to gather at Fengjun Mountain three days ago, and then look for an opportunity to fight the Suzaku Army, there is still a question mark as to whether the Suzaku Army could win!

As long as his command makes no mistakes and the soldiers are united, the victory rate of the Shun Army will still be very high.

Maybe Gao Xiang didn't know that he could assemble his troops and horses to fight the Qian Army, but he didn't have the confidence to win in the decisive battle.

Even if he is confident that there will be no problems with his command at this moment, can the Shun army soldiers still be united and have high morale?

Gao Xiang doesn't know.

So he simply didn't issue any orders, but still asked soldiers and horses from various places to guard key areas.

Let them fight when the Suzaku Army comes. Anyway, with the 20,000 soldiers and horses from Fengjun Mountain, it is almost impossible for the Shun Army to break through the city of Huangshi County.

There are defenders everywhere. Gao Xiang leads 20,000 soldiers to garrison Fengjun Mountain. He can support any city that the Suzaku Army wants to attack. As long as the city is not lost, Gao Xiang doesn't want to pay too much attention to the others.

In other words, he chose to lie flat.

Gao Xiang no longer thinks about defeating Qianjun and avenging his former self. He only thinks about guarding Huangshi County. As for King Shun's mission, he leaves it to fate!

In fact, whether the Suzaku Army wants to attack Fengjun Mountain or Shunfeng City, it is not that simple. ,

Fengjun Mountain is located close to the hinterland of Huangshi County. If the Suzaku Army wants to attack Fengjun Mountain, it will have to go deep into Huangshi County. This will not only lengthen the supply line, but also risk being surrounded in the hinterland of Huangshi County.

Shunfeng City is closer to the Han River, so the Suzaku Army does not have to worry about being dumped by the Shun Army when attacking the city. However, once the Suzaku Army starts to attack Shunfeng City, Gao Xiang, who is stationed at Fengjun Mountain, can lead troops to support at any time.

Gao Xiang has determined that Qian Guo has no intention of expanding the war, and it is completely impossible for a Suzaku Army to capture Huangshi County.

When Qian State attacked Qi State, there were still two legions, and later two cavalry legions joined. Even with this, they failed to occupy Qi State's Cangde County.

Now there is only one Suzaku Army in Huangshi County, so what is there to fear?

Gao Xiang's ideas cannot be said to be very positive, but they cannot be said to be wrong either.

In fact, even if Gao Xiang gave up resistance completely and the Suzaku Army defeated more than a dozen cities in Huangshi County, they would eventually return to Hanshui County.

Zhu Yong understood the result, and Gao Xiang also figured it out. Only Huangshi County Sheriff did not believe it.

"If the Qian people really conquered the city, will they still give it to us?"

"Even if King Qian doesn't want to go to war with our Shun Kingdom, how can he easily exchange the captured city for our Huangshi County? In the end, I'm afraid he will have to pay other prices to redeem it. The blame will not be borne by me, the county guard, and General Gao Xiang."

"Gao Xiang is a martial artist. Even if he is criticized, he still has a chance to make a comeback. What about me, sir?"

"I'm afraid it will be difficult to come back up after you go down!"

There are countless people in the court watching his butt to complete their studies, and they will be appointed by the king to serve as minor officials everywhere.

Over the past few decades, countless people have been waiting for an official position to be vacant, so that they can fill it.

The position of Huangshi County Sheriff is very coveted.

Gao Xiang was confident that he could defend the cities of Huangshi County, but Huangshi County Governor did not. Even if he was confident, he could not tolerate the Suzaku Army's destruction everywhere in Huangshi County.

Gao Xiang will eventually leave Huangshi County. Only he, the warden of Huangshi County, will have to guard Huangshi County for several years. If the damage caused by the Suzaku Army is too serious, he may have to stay in Huangshi County for more than ten years.

But it doesn't have to be the county guard, it might be the magistrate of a certain county.

The most likely possibility is that whichever county was captured by the Suzaku Army, he would become the magistrate of that county.

So when he learned that the Suzaku Army was likely to attack Shunfeng City, the Huangshi County Guard became anxious!

"Shunfeng City is a prosperous city in Huangshi County. If it is attacked by the Suzaku Army, your Majesty will not bypass us. Please think of a way!"

Huangshi County Sheriff said to several officials in the hall.

His posture was very low. Seeing the governor's behavior, the four officials in the hall did not dare to sit still on their chairs. They all stood up and returned the courtesy.

"Your Majesty the County Sheriff is serious, we are all officials of Huangshi County, and we should make suggestions for the people of Huangshi County!"

"It's just that the situation in the county is well known to you, Lord Sheriff. We are clever women and can't make a living without rice. We have the intention to kill thieves, but we are powerless to save the day!"

"Master Sheriff, whether we can defend Shunfeng City depends on how much effort General Gao Xiang can put in!"

How could Huangshi County Governor not know the importance of Gao Xiang?

But he had already written several letters to Gao Xiang, and was about to go to Fengjun Mountain in person to ask him to come out, but Gao Xiang didn't respond at all.

Huangshi County Sheriff's rank is higher than Gao Xiang's, so if he were asked to beg Gao Xiang to send troops, he couldn't do it.

It’s not that I can’t do it, it’s that I don’t want to do it!

But Shunfeng City had to be rescued, so Huangshi County Sheriff turned his attention to the officials in the hall.

Their rank is equivalent to Gao Xiang, and now that Huangshi County is seeking help from Gao Xiang, it is reasonable for them to ask General Gao Xiang for help.

I don't think Gao Xiang would have any objection.

The Huangshi County officials in the hall quickly understood what the county governor meant, which was to ask them to see (invite) Gao Xiang on behalf of the county governor.

Can they say no?

able!

But do they dare?

Don't dare.

So they could only choose two unlucky guys to represent the county governor and Huangshi County officials to invite Gao Xiang to come out.

Gao Xiang would not refute the face of Huangshi County officials. After all, there is still a considerable amount of grain and grass that must be provided and transported by Huangshi County.

Gao Xiang has actually been paying attention to the actions of the Suzaku Army for a long time. This is his biggest enemy, how could he not pay attention to it.

He began to prepare after knowing that the Suzaku Army's target was Shunfeng City. Although he planned to lie down, he did not want to be buried in a hole dug by the Suzaku Army.

He has already made a decision in his heart. As soon as the Suzaku Army starts to attack Shunfeng City, he will take all his troops to Shunfeng City. As long as he is on one side, the Suzaku Army can't even think of breaking through Shunfeng City!
