Chapter 1537: Conquest of Jiaozhou III
——Jiaozhi Dragon Weaving
"With the solid walls and clear fields, our army's troops were mainly concentrated in big cities such as Panyu, Guangxin, Bushan, etc., and the people were also concentrated in the city by us. Anyway, it is not the time to farm, and there is nothing to do with wasteland."
Shi Xie was listening to the generals reporting on the preparations for the war, but suddenly Shi Yi ran in with an anxious look on his face, and then he didn't say anything, just waved his hand to ask the others to retreat.
"You guys retreat first."
"promise!"
After everyone retreated, Shi Xie asked, "Second brother, what's wrong with you?"
"Brother, the Hebei army has come here. This is a letter sent by the Flynnian sent by the fourth brother from Panyu!"
Flying slaves are carrier pigeons. No matter what era they are in, it is extremely difficult to train carrier pigeons. Therefore, if it is not an urgent matter, this method would never be used.
Shi Xie took the note and opened it and his expression changed drastically.
"On the 16th day, the 17th day, the 19th day, the 4th day, the 19th day, the 19th day, the 19th day, the 23rd day... The march is so fast, don't the Hebei troops need logistics supplies?"
Shi Xie knew that from Weipu Pass to Panyu, the clearing of the land had been completed. The original road was dug into a mess, and vehicles were not accessible at all. All the rivers had thrown away livestock bodies, and even the well water was polluted.
In this case, how did the Hebei army march quickly?
This is why Shi Xie doesn't understand the outside world too much.
Not to mention anything else, the Hebei Army's technology of digging wells and road construction is absolutely first-class, and it also has health knowledge beyond the times and a large number of drugs. The original pollution method of Shixie could not stop the Hebei Army from taking action.
Moreover, Shi Xie's solid walls and clearing the world has played a big role. Otherwise, Guan Yu, who has always liked fast attacks, wouldn't have taken seven days to complete the deployment of the siege of Panyu.
"Brother, what should I do now?"
Shi Xie also wanted to ask what to do. There are only so many forces in Jiaozhou, and the news that the court ruled that he treason and wanted to kill his three tribes had spread in the upper circle of Jiaozhou, and many people were secretly preparing for something.
If it weren't for the need to clear the fields and divide the land under Ma Qiang's new policy, and the selection of scholars would have been in name only, which would have damaged the interests of these powerful men after the Hebei army entered Jiaozhou. Now, someone might have raised troops to besiege Longbiancheng.
"Now... I can only hope that the long road from the South China Sea to here can drag down the Hebei army..."
While the Shixie brothers were sighing, a soldier rushed in and shouted, "Report! Zhu Dai urgent military information!"
"Pick it up!"
"Zhu Dai? Could it be that the barbarians from the west are also coming out to join in the fun?" Shi Yi looked at Shi Xie who was reading the military newspaper with confusion, but found that Shi Xie's hands were trembling.
"Brother, what happened?"
"Hebei Army... has already entered Honghekou by sea. Ma Ziyu is following the strategy of destroying North Korea in the past. It will attack our Jiaozhou by sea and land!!"
"Honghekou? How many soldiers have come?"
"I don't know, so you can immediately send a army to Xiyu. Since the Hebei Army has sent a navy, Jiuzhen and Rinan can no longer hold on. In the end, we can only consider hiding into the mountains in the west! So our west gate must be defended!"
"What? This..."
"Don't be afraid, in the past, Zhongshan was destroyed by Wu Qi, and his royal family hid in the mountains. Later, Duke Huan restored his country and had nine thousand chariots. The ancients could do it, but we could do it!"
"Hey! Ma Ziyu was killed this day. Where did we offend him? Brother, don't worry, I'll send troops now!"
After Shi Yi went out for more than an hour, he came to report again, saying that this time he had a Hebei army landed in Quyang, with sails covering the sky and over ten thousand soldiers and horses.
There are also Quyang and Honghe. Can he fly everywhere with his horse Ziyu's soldiers and horses with wings?
Shi Xie looked at the map on the wall, his head full of question marks.
He can now be sure that the Hebei Army really sent a navy, but which of these two teams is real and which one is a feint attack?
Ahem, I’m sorry, with absolute strength, there is no feint attack, and they are all main attackers!
On November 27, the second year of Jian'an, Lin Hai landed in Jiaozhi County and conquered Quyang City in Linhai on the same day. On the 28th, the vanguard rushed to 50 miles outside Longbian City, defeated the camp outside Longbian City, and occupied all areas in the eastern part of Longbian City.
On the other side, Liu Bei first attacked Zhu Dai with his ships and cannons, and then went upstream and besieged Xiyu. Later, those who surrendered could return to their hometowns to serve the people as conditions to persuade the soldiers in the city to surrender. Some of the Shi family members in the city were unwilling to surrender and were beheaded by the soldiers in the city. On the 29th, Xiyu fell into the city.
The Hebei Army Dragon Group completed its strategic siege.
On the first day of December, Guan Yu conquered Panyu City. Wu, the magistrate of Nanhai County, was beheaded by Zhou Cang Formation and sent his head to Guangzong for public display. On the same day, news of the recovery of Nanhai spread throughout the Han Dynasty as the radio was broadcast.

"Panyu...is broken?
I haven't even kept it for a month..."
The sound of cannons outside the city seemed to be ringing the death knell of the Shishi in Jiaozhou. Shixie no longer had the majesty of being as energetic as before and dominated the state, but was like an old man, with his hair and beard all white and his eyes were filled with blood.
"Brother, now the soldiers have no fighting spirit and are not determined to fight. If we continue to defend like this, it will probably be a word of death!"
"Second brother, if you take my head out and ask for surrender, do you think they will spare our Shishi?"
"Brother, don't think about it! That Ma Ziyu is going to use the whole clan's sacrifice flag to scare the whole world!
Those who are still willing to help us defend the city now are mostly those out-of-states who shout every day to revive the Han Dynasty. Those powerful men with some strength are now hiding aside and unwilling to work hard, and I dare not force them!"
As he said, Shi Yi said viciously, "If you want me to tell me, just burn this Dragon Weaving City and everyone will die together!"
"No!" Shi Xie said sternly, "Punish all the three tribes, and in history, we must complain for our injustice, like burning a city... We will be criticized for our eternal stigma after our death!"
"Brother, when is it now? Why are you..." Shi Yi suddenly stopped talking. He thought for a while and looked up and said, "Speaking of it, brother, there is a news. I don't know whether it is true or false, and I didn't tell you either."
"What news?"
"The one who led the troops to the Red River mouth was not a general from the Hebei Army, but the original Xuzhou Governor Liu Bei!"
"Liu Bei?"
"Yes, this is the news from Quyang. I thought it was fake at first, so I didn't tell you.
Later, I heard that Xi was persuaded to surrender by him, so I believed that the rumors were true!
Since Liu Bei can protect Xiyu, can he also protect us?"
Shi Xie immediately stood up and started to mutter.
Liu Bei was not a general in the army, so he did not have his own general flag. This is why Shixie still doesn't know that it was Liu Bei who was surprised to attack the West.
