"I believe that His Highness has a straightforward temperament and is famous in the northwest. If His Highness is allowed to continue to stay in the Northwest, it will also have a deterrent effect on foreign barbarians. If the Emperor wants to continue the Western Expedition in the future, he can make His Highness the vanguard general.
Clearing obstacles and overcoming thorns along the way..." Guo Jia began.
Gao Fei said: "You are right. Gao Lin is not suitable to live in the Central Plains. The northwest border may be where he should be. After a while, you can find Chen Lin and give me an oral instruction, asking him to write an imperial edict and cut off Gao Lin.
The prince's title was reduced to that of a county prince, and he was temporarily appointed as the governor of Liangzhou, the Western Regions and Pingnu."
"No." Guo Jia responded and slowly exited the tent.
Pingnu refers to the grasslands, snowy mountains, and Gobi occupied by the Xianbei, Northern Xiongnu, Wusun and other people in the plateau of Mongolia and Xinjiang. After the Chinese army conquered the Hus in the north, Gao Fei gave it the name Pingnu.
Nu, the organizational system is equivalent to a state, and under Pingnu, several larger fortress cities were built, all belonging to Pingnu. The area is very vast, and it is mainly used for the animal husbandry of the Huaxia Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, the Taiwei did not intercede for His Highness, but instead put the blame on His Highness, isn't it..." Weiwei Gao Heng was beside Gao Fei. After hearing Guo Jia's words, he couldn't help but laugh.
, and said it.
"Fengxiao and Gao Lin get along day and night. They spend more time together than me, a father. How could Fengxiao harm Gao Lin? He must have his own purpose for doing this. However, Fengxiao said
That's right,
Gao Lin was famous in the northwest frontier, and no foreigner dared to disobey him. With him guarding the northwest, it was indeed much better than him being defeated in the southeast. In this battle, the Longlin Army suffered heavy losses and was no longer an army. So Longlin

It’s time to disband. Ma Dai and others are young talents and capable generals. If they are all crowded together, they will not be able to exert much strength. Besides, under Gao Lin’s halo, they may not be able to
What future? Go ask Prime Minister Tian to see if there are any urgent military positions, and arrange them for Ma Dai, Gan Xiaoning, Zhang Xiong, Guo Huai, Zang Ai and others." Gao Fei interrupted Gao Heng's words and said calmly.
said.
"promise!"
When Gao Heng went out, Gao Fei was the only one left in the tent. A smile appeared on his lips and he said slowly: "In the past, Duke Wen of Jin, Chong'er, lived in exile abroad for many years. He was able to avoid domestic political chaos and was welcomed back by the people.
Later, it finally became a hegemony. Fengxiao is really smart and understands the truth of living outside..."
At dawn the next day, the Chinese army had already had breakfast, and the various armies began to assemble, gearing up behind the trenches dug yesterday and the earth wall built.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the horns of attack were sounded outside the east, west, south and north city gates at the same time. The whimpering horns immediately cut through the sky and reached the ears of the Wu army officers and soldiers inside the city.
At the same time, the Chinese military used giant ballistae that had already been deployed to shoot letters of surrender into the city, and then waited there quietly, in full formation.
In the city of Hefei, letters of persuasion for surrender sent in by the Chinese army were everywhere. The soldiers opened them one after another and read them while reading: "In accordance with the fate of heaven and the destiny of heaven, I, the great emperor of the Chinese Kingdom of Shenzhou, tell you that at this time,
At three moments, our invincible army of the Chinese Kingdom will attack from four gates.
At this time, we launched an attack. The strength of the Wu Kingdom has been exhausted, and the city is only broken. My emperor, with a kind heart, cannot bear to see you all bleeding like rivers. Therefore, I hereby advise you not to make fearless resistance, but to open the city and surrender as soon as possible.
, Otherwise, when the third quarter of the day comes, the army will massacre the city, and we will never tolerate it..."
After reading this letter of persuasion to surrender, the timid members of the Wu army were already scared to death. Seeing the Chinese army outside the city waiting in formation and getting ready to attack, they had the intention to surrender. However, as soon as the timid people took action, they
They were immediately beheaded by their superiors, and the timid ones were in the minority after all, so after killing more than a dozen people, Wu Jun not only had no fear at all, but instead encouraged each other and vowed to live and die together with this city.
By the time Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Lu Fan and others arrived at the tower, the morale of the Wu army officers and soldiers was already extremely high. Seeing that his men had such high momentum, Sun Ce felt relieved. Then, Sun Ce
He began to actively deploy defensive forces, sending Han Dang to guard the west gate, Cheng Pu to guard the east gate, and Lu Fan to guard the north gate. He and Zhou Yu stood at the south gate to personally resist Gao Fei outside the south gate.
"Your Majesty, the morale of the Wu army does not seem to have declined. Instead, it has become high because of our surrender letter..." Xu Huang said slowly after seeing the soldiers on the tower.
"In this case, I'm afraid it will be useless to wait any longer. Are all the ballistae ready?" Gao Fei turned to Xu Huang and said.
"Everything is ready. According to the emperor's wishes, it is completely installed and hidden in the earth wall. It can bomb the city at any time." Xu Huang replied.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Let's start the war." Gao Fei looked at Sun Ce and Zhou Yu on the tower. There was no mercy in his eyes. Even if he killed these two people, he would not show any regret.
feeling.
After Xu Huang heard Gao Fei's order, he spurred his horse forward and shouted loudly: "The emperor has an order, let's start the war!"
Following Xu Huang's order, the Chinese army outside the south gate beat the first war drum. At this time, all the soldiers hidden in the trench were beating the shields in front of them with their swords.
There was a neat and huge metal collision sound, and they shouted in unison: "Wind! Wind! Wind! Wind!"
When the sound from the south gate disappeared, the same sound came from the west gate, followed by the north gate, and the east gate, just in a circle. When the sound from the east gate fell completely for just one sentence, the sound was arranged in the south gate.
All the siege weapons at the gate, west gate, north gate, and east gate shouted in unison: "Great wind! Great wind! Great wind!..."
Every time he shouted, the weapons would slam twice on the shield. Tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, the sound was majestic. In addition, the Chinese army had previously built an earth wall that was almost as high as the city wall and dug a trench.
, so much so that the officers and soldiers of the Wu Army in Hefei City could not see clearly how many soldiers were hidden behind that earth wall. They could only see the flags of the Chinese Army flying everywhere in the wind.
In the city of Hefei, after Zhou Yu heard the formation of the Huaxia Army, he already understood the fighting method of the Huaxia Army. This time, he first used the momentum to give the Wu Army a disincentive. He first gained the upper hand in momentum and brought great power to the Wu Army defending the city.
There was huge pressure. He immediately took advantage of the situation and sent people to various city gates to boost morale, which achieved some results.
At this time, the Chinese army had not yet started to attack. Zhou Yu saw military flags looming in the woods behind the Chinese army. As a result, he climbed to the top of the Bell and Drum Tower and looked around. The woods outside Hefei City were all like this. He saw
After that, he hurriedly walked down and said to Sun Ce
Said: "Your Majesty, Gao Fei is bluffing. He even arranged suspicious soldiers in the woods outside the city. He wants to attract our attention and make it unclear how many there are. So, don't pay attention to those soldiers of the Chinese Army. Just be fierce.
Just repel those sieges."
Sun Ce nodded in agreement, and at the same time asked people to guard Zhou Yu, and personally picked up the repeating crossbow to shoot the invading enemy.
About a quarter of an hour later, the second round of the Chinese Army's momentum began. However, this time everyone shouted "Gale" together. After shouting three times, it immediately became silent, and many weapons flew out from the earth wall.
The black crossbow arrows, with lit explosives attached to them, flew straight across the moat and hit the walls of Hefei City.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."
As soon as the rumbling explosion sounded, the stone debris on the city wall of Hefei City was immediately blown away. Many Wu Army soldiers who were waiting on the city wall were also immediately blown to pieces. Some died on the spot, and some were injured.
, kept shouting.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu luckily escaped, but their eyes were blinded by stone chips. When they heard many people shouting in their ears, they knew that the situation was not good.
At the same time, the Chinese army, which had been preparing for the attack, poured out of the trenches one after another. Many people carried the extended wooden boards and rushed towards the moat. They put all the wooden boards on the moat and soon formed a formation.
They climbed onto the pontoons one by one, held up their swords and shields, and quickly rushed to the city gate. They placed the already tied explosives on the city gate and ignited them, then detonated them and blew open the city gate.
Only four violent noises were heard, and the four city gates were blown open one after another. However, the Chinese army was not in a hurry to enter the city. Instead, they threw explosives at the city gate first. The Wu troops in the city crowded towards the city gate and blocked it.
The city gate was used to prevent the Chinese army from entering. It happened to encounter the explosives thrown by the Chinese army, and each one was blown to pieces.
After the explosion, the Chinese army rushed into the city like ants, holding weapons and killing everyone they saw. They also did not forget to tie their heads to their waists so that they could claim credit after the war.
By the time Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were on the city tower, they realized that the Chinese army had already entered the city gate, occupied the gate tower near the city gate, and started killing people everywhere. The whole process seemed to happen in the blink of an eye, and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had not yet reacted.
, was completely surrounded by soldiers rushing up from the stairs, and there was no way to retreat.
However, no one called Sun Ce anymore, and Zhou Yu surrendered. Instead, he raised his sword and swarmed forward. Sun Ce was superior in force and resisted, killing more than a dozen people in a row. However, he only felt that the more people he killed, the more people he killed, and it seemed that he would never be able to kill them all.
Zhou Yu did not have as strong a force as Sun Ce. After killing several soldiers, he was directly grabbed by the soldiers of the Chinese Army and was captured.
The city was in chaos, and the towers were full of excitement. Sun Ce was like a fierce tiger. No matter who he went to, he couldn't suppress him, but would be hurt by Sun Ce.
After Gao Fei saw him, he said to Tai Shici: "You and Xu Huang join forces to subdue Sun Ce. If necessary, you can kill him."
"No!" As soon as Taishi Ci accepted the order, he immediately rode out.
Gao Fei saw the melee in front of Hefei City and gently closed his eyes, because there was almost no suspense in this battle. He wriggled his lips a few times and said softly: "Brother Wentai, if you still
If we were still alive, maybe we wouldn’t have ended our reunification through war, right?”
