"Your Majesty has no intention of a decisive battle with Shun Guo. This time, Shun Guo took the initiative to provoke us first, and our Vermillion Bird Army rose up to resist!"

"From the supply of logistical materials, you should be able to see that the imperial court will not support us to continue to expand the scope of the war to the Shun Kingdom."

"We can't even stay here for a long time in Huangshi County. It doesn't matter if we can capture Shunfeng City, brothers, it's not a waste of time!"

Zhu Yong led 3,000 people wandering around the northern part of Huangshi County, and the Shun army in various important places found this army with a small number of troops. They didn't know that the commander of this army was actually the commander of the Suzaku army. , otherwise it is really possible to chase and kill them.

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

To let them know that Zhu Yong was walking past their camp, maybe they would chase after them even at the risk of annihilation.

Zhu Yong saw that the Shun army in various places did not chase them out, nor did they think about capturing these places.

The three thousand soldiers and horses around him are all the elite of the Suzaku army, even if there are five thousand Shun troops stationed in the important places, they can take them down.

It's just not necessary!

Zhu Yong didn't come to attack the city. The Suzaku army only had 30,000 people, and only 23,000 people entered Huangshi County.

Except for the 3,000 people led by himself, only 20,000 people fought against the Shun army in Huangshi County.

That Gao Xiang was also emboldened by the Suzaku army. If he had ordered all the soldiers stationed in various places to gather at Fengjun Mountain three days ago, and then looked for an opportunity to fight the Suzaku army, whether the Suzaku army could win would have to be questioned!

As long as his command is correct and the soldiers are united as one, the Shun Army's winning rate is still very high.

Maybe Gao Xiang didn't know that he could gather soldiers and horses to fight a decisive battle with the Gan army, but he didn't have the confidence to win the decisive battle.

Even though he is confident that there will be no problems with his command at this moment, can the soldiers of the Shun Army still be united and high-spirited?

Gao Xiang didn't know.

So he didn't give any orders at all, but still let the soldiers and horses from all over the place guard the important places.

If the Suzaku army came to fight, let them fight. Anyway, with Fengjunshan's 20,000 soldiers and horses, 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, the other Gao Xiang doesn't want to pay too much attention.

In other words, he chose to lie flat.

Gao Xiang no longer thinks about defeating the Qianjun and avenging his former self. He only thinks about defending Huangshi County. As for the mission of King Shun, he will leave it to his fate!

In fact, no matter whether the Suzaku Army wants to attack Fengjun Mountain or SF 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, they have to go deep into Huangshi County. Not only will the supply line be lengthened, but there is also the danger of being surrounded in the hinterland of Huangshi County.

Shunfeng City is closer to the Hanshui River, and the Suzaku Army does not have to worry about being made dumplings by the Shunjun 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 confirmed that Qianguo has no intention of expanding the war, and it is absolutely 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 they failed to occupy Cangde County of Qi State.

Now there is only one Suzaku army in Huangshi County, so what is there to be afraid of?

Gao Xiang's thoughts can't be said to be very positive, but they can't be said to be wrong either.

In fact, Gao Xiang gave up resistance completely, and the Suzaku army broke through more than a dozen cities in Huangshi County, and they still had to return to Hanshui County in the end.

Zhu Yong understood this result, and Gao Xiang also wanted to understand it, only the governor of Huangshi didn't believe it.

"If the people of Qianguo really laid down the city, will they still give it to us?"

"Even if King Qian doesn't want to go to war with my Shun country, how could he easily exchange the occupied city for my Huangshi County, and I'm afraid I will have to pay other prices to redeem it. At that time, the county guard and General Gao Xiang will not be responsible for the crime."

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

"I'm afraid it will be difficult to come up after going down!"

There are countless people in the court staring at the position under his ass. Shun country has no shortage of officials. Every year, hundreds of students complete their studies in the Guoxue Institute, and they will be appointed by the king to serve as petty officials everywhere.

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

The position of Sheriff of Huangshi is very enticing.

Gao Xiang is confident that he can defend the cities of Huangshi County, but the governor of Huangshi County does not. Even if he is confident, he cannot tolerate the destruction of Huangshi County by the Suzaku Army.

Gao Xiang will still leave Huangshi County after all. Only he, the governor of Huangshi County, has to guard Huangshi County for several years. If the damage is too serious by the Suzaku Army, he may stay in Huangshi County for more than ten years.

But it doesn't have to be the sheriff, it might be the magistrate of some county.

The biggest possibility is that whichever county is captured by the Suzaku army, he will become the county magistrate of that county.

So when he learned that the Suzaku army was likely to attack Shunfeng City, the Huangshi County guard was in a hurry!

"Shunfeng City is a prosperous city in Huangshi County. If it is captured by the Suzaku army, the king will definitely not bypass me. Please think of a way!"

The governor of Huangshi cupped his hands and said to several officials in the hall.

His posture was very low, and the four officials in the hall, seeing the sheriff's behavior like this, did not dare to sit still on their chairs, and all stood up to return the salute.

"Your Majesty's words are serious, we are all officials of Huangshi County, and we should give advice to the people of Huangshi County!"

"It's just that you know the situation in the county, Mr. Sheriff, we are now clever women who can't cook without rice. We want to kill thieves, but we can't bring ourselves back to heaven!"

"Your Excellency, whether you can defend Shunfeng City or not depends on how much General Gao Xiang can do!"

How could the governor of Huangshi not know the importance of Gao Xiang.

But he had already written several letters to Gao Xiang, and he was about to go to Fengjun Mountain to invite him out of the mountain, but Gao Xiang didn't respond at all.

The rank of the governor of Huangshi is higher than that of Gao Xiang, so he can't do it if he asks Gao Xiang to send troops in a humble way.

If you can't do it, you don't want to do it!

But SF City had to be rescued, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com So the governor of Huangshi turned his ideas on all the officials in the hall.

Their rank is comparable to that of Gao Xiang, and now that Huangshi County is asking Gao Xiang again, it is reasonable for them to ask General Gao Xiang for help.

Gao Xiang would have no objection if he wanted to.

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

Can they say no?

able!

But do they dare?

dare not.

So they could only follow orders and select two unlucky guys to invite Gao Xiang to come out of the mountain on behalf of the governor and officials of Huangshi County.

Gao Xiang will not refute the face of the officials of Huangshi County, after all, there is still a considerable part of the food and grass that Huangshi County needs to provide and transship.

In fact, Gao Xiang has long been concerned about the actions of the Suzaku Army. This is his biggest enemy, how could he not pay attention.

He knew that the target of the Suzaku army was Shunfeng City, and he began to prepare. Although he planned to lie flat in his heart, he didn't want to be buried by the Suzaku army digging a hole while lying down.

He had already made a decision in his heart, as soon as the Suzaku Army started to attack SF City, he would take all the soldiers and horses to SF City, as long as he was on the side, the Suzaku Army would never want to attack SF City!
