In the sky above the huge Youzhou City, three extremely huge beasts roared, erupting with earth-shattering power and crashing down on the city-protecting formation.
With a rumbling sound, the city defense formation that had blocked the Guangyang Yellow Turban Army's repeated attacks collapsed.
The power of these three sacred beasts' military souls not only condensed the power of the three legions, but also gathered all the power of millions of soldiers with the blessing of Han Xin.
For ordinary generals, commanding millions of soldiers is undoubtedly as difficult as ascending to heaven. Being able to transmit every order in place is already very good.
But for Han Xin, commanding these armies was easy, and he was able to use his own skills and abilities to unite the forces of these armies.
His fighting style is different from that of fierce generals like Li Cunxiao.
Li Cunxiao released his own celestial power and let the power of the army assist him, making his strength even stronger.
Han Xin, on the other hand, used his commanding and resourceful abilities to strengthen the army and make each soldier stronger. The military soul condensed by the army is based on the strength of the army and will become stronger accordingly.
Very powerful.
Not even Youzhou City's defensive formation could stop this wave of attacks.
"Is this broken!?"
Gao Sheng Yan Zheng and the other Yellow Turban Qushuai all opened their eyes wide, filled with disbelief.
They never expected that the army led by Han Xin could break the city defense formation so quickly.
You know, this is only an army of one million.
They had invested millions of troops before, but they could not break the city defense formation.
At this moment, they realized that there was a huge gap in strength between Qin Yuan's army and their so-called Yellow Turban Army.
Not only the strength of the soldiers at the bottom of the army, but also the ability of the generals are also very different.
It is no exaggeration to say that Han Xin's military ability alone is superior to all of them.
Moreover, it also has many famous general effects and various powerful talents and skills.
Even the most powerful Yellow Turban Qu Shuai and Gao Sheng Yan Zheng are far behind compared to them.
Not to mention them, even among the most outstanding commanders or counselors in the Three Kingdoms era, few could compare with Han Xin.
This is the military immortal Han Xin.
Although he is still in this era, he has not yet become famous.
Today's fame is not as great as that of Li Cunxiao and Bai Qi.
However, its abilities are not weaker than theirs at all.
Han Xin is positioned as an all-around general, and he is top-notch in every aspect.
Otherwise, Qin Yuan would not have placed Han Xin in Youzhou to expand his territory.
Compared with his contribution to the Yellow Turban Uprising, Qin Yuan paid more attention to the development of the basic territory. After all, the foundation was the most important and it was also the lowest risk way of expansion.
The Yellow Turban Uprising is more like a high-risk investment. While the returns are high, the risks are also very high.
Even Qin Yuan may not be confident that he can lead the Yellow Turban Uprising to victory, or whether he can escape unscathed after the failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising.
Therefore, the development and expansion of Youzhou is the core of Qin Yuan's power.
"kill!"
Han Xin's expression remained unchanged, as if he had done something extremely ordinary.
Although his siege method was not as simple and crude as Li Cunxiao's, it was very effective.
As the defensive formation of Youzhou City was broken, the defenders in the city were affected and suffered numerous injuries.
The power of the three sacred beasts' military spirits dropped, leaving countless soldiers unable to even stand up.
Boom boom boom!
One after another, the giant steel beasts were approaching the tall city wall.
Especially the siege chariots, wielding huge pendulum hammers, hit the city gates.
After repeated bombardments, the city gate collapsed.
Because the army led by Han Xin suddenly attacked the city and broke the city defense formation at an extraordinary speed.
At this time, most of the defenders in Youzhou City were still in the barracks.
As for the troops who arrived at the city wall, they suffered heavy losses from their military souls.
As for the city gate, there was not much defensive force deployed at all, and it was easily breached.
During a siege.
The biggest level of clearance is to siege the city!
And when the barrier of the protective circle and the city wall disappeared, the more than one million defenders who remained in the city could not be an opponent at all.
What's more, they stormed into the city with such a crazy offensive, which completely shattered the defenders' faith.
The army rushed into the city and quickly eliminated the resistance in the city.
The garrison soldiers died, were injured, and surrendered!
When faced with this kind of war that has no suspense, soldiers will not die foolishly.
Some generals saw that the situation was not good and took the initiative to lead their troops to surrender.
Some generals even got the news that the city gate had been lost, and immediately led a charge into the inner city, attacked the city lord's palace, captured the governor Guo Xun and the prefect Liu Wei alive, and dedicated them to Han Xin.
After more than half a day, the entire Youzhou fell completely under Han Xin's control.
Some forces that tried to resist were all wiped out.
"General Han, how to deal with these people?"
Gao Sheng was escorting a group of officials, more than a hundred of them.
This is just the most important group of officials in Youzhou City.
They were enjoying themselves in the city lord's palace. They had just received news that the enemy was attacking the city, and before they had time to react, the city's protective formation was breached.
This also blocked their final retreat.
Just when they were considering whether to fight to the death and show their loyalty, or to surrender the city.
A general with heavy troops led his army into the city lord's palace, tied up all the officials, and presented them to the Yellow Turban Army as a surrender certificate.
They have long been disgusted with these officials, whether they are generals or soldiers guarding the city.
They fought hard on the front lines, while they enjoyed themselves in the rear.
No one can stand this.
"Kill them all!"
Han Xin glanced at these people and said calmly.
"General, you can't kill me!"
"I am Guo Xun, the governor of Youzhou, and I am willing to surrender and serve you!"
Upon hearing Han Xin's words, Guo Xun immediately shouted loudly. "Keeping my life will definitely be helpful to you. I can help you control Youzhou City and let other family forces join you!"
He never expected that the man in front of him would be so murderous.
He had also heard about Qin Yuan's governance method before, which usually left some officials and nobles to jointly govern.
Although most of the power has been deprived, it is rare that the family is confiscated and the entire clan is exterminated.
"Now that Youzhou City has fallen into my hands, what's the use of keeping you!"
Han Xin said coldly, "If you can help us control the entire Youzhou, it would be of some use, but it's a pity that you don't have this ability!"
Originally, the order to be the governor of a state was very effective.
But the reason why Han Xin was so determined to kill him was.
It was actually very simple originally.
The first point is that Guo Xun's value is not as high as expected, because he has been requesting external support for more than a month and cannot even mobilize the troops in Youzhou, which proves that his control over Youzhou counties is basically zero.
.
It is simply unrealistic to rely on him to order other local governments in Youzhou.
The second point is because Guo Xun is a waste. Not to mention his ability, he still has the leisure to have a feast and enjoy himself when the army is pressing down. What can this kind of person do if he doesn't kill him and keep him?
The last point is that Guo Xun was captured and captured alive after Youzhou City was breached.
It was only at this time that I thought of surrendering. Don’t you think it’s a little late?
Qin Yuan generally would not kill those officials or forces who surrendered.
But the prerequisite must be that before the war breaks out, there is an intention to surrender and some great achievements have been made.
For example, those families in Shanggu County united to resist Gongsun Fu and cooperated with Qin Yuan's attack, and thus obtained certain preferential treatment.
If someone like Guo Xun is killed, then he will be killed.
And their value dead is much greater than alive.
This also declares to others that being their enemy and fighting to the end will only lead to death.
If he surrendered early, he might still have a way to survive.
"I me."
"You have no right to kill me!"
"I want to meet Qin Yuan!"
Guo Xun shouted.
His ability is average and he really can't be of much help.
Officials everywhere did not listen to his orders at all.
Otherwise, the situation in Guangyang would not have reached this stage.
"Why are you still standing there!"
Han Xin didn't even bother to listen to the other party's rebuttal.
As for meeting Qin Yuan, that is simply impossible.
Regardless of whether Qin Yuan was free or not, since Han Xin made this decision, he must have considered the overall situation.
The death of a state governor will definitely shock the government and the public.
The impact on the entire Youzhou situation is extremely huge, and it is a death threat to all forces.
Even the governor was killed by Qin Yuan's side. Can the Youzhou local government be able to hold on to Qin Yuan's army?
You know, under the current circumstances, Youzhou cannot get assistance from other places at all.
The only way is to save yourself.
But even Guangyang County and Youzhou City have fallen. How long can other counties hold on?
Poof!
Poof!
As Han Xin finished speaking, Gao Sheng raised his knife and brought down Guo Xun's head.
He knew very well that Han Xin's order was directed at him.
At the same time, it is also the command from the superior to the inferior.
If Gao Sheng disobeys, the consequences can be imagined.
Although he was very resistant in his heart, he felt like he was luring a wolf into the house.
But it was only a matter of time before the situation reached this point.
Although Gao Sheng was in Guangyang County, he knew a lot about Guangzong's situation.
In addition to Qin Yuan's military exploits, he began to reach out to the army in Guangzong City, trying to slowly control all the soldiers.
Now Youzhou City has been taken down.
There are only two choices faced by Gao Sheng and Qu Shuai.
One is to stay in Youzhou and stick to Guangyang County or send troops to other counties.
This approach is consistent with Qin Yuan's purpose.
But Qin Yuan's goal is the entire Youzhou. As the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. Only by surrendering to Qin Yuan can they continue to develop.
As for defeating Qin Yuan's army or cooperating with it, the possibility is almost zero.
The other option is to leave Youzhou and fight on other battlefields. The only option is Guangzong City.
But when they arrived at Guangzong City, they could not escape Qin Yuan's clutches either.
It can only be said that Qin Yuan's strength is too strong and his development is too rapid, far surpassing other Yellow Turbans, and he has Zhang Jiao's full support behind him.
Unless Gao Sheng and others set up another mountain, there is no way to get rid of Qin Yuan's control.
But if they do this, they will only die faster.
"very good!"
Han Xin watched the heads fall to the ground, and a smile appeared on his lips.
It is really easy to communicate with smart people.
Otherwise, he might have to use some dark means.
And when the time comes, it won't be these officials who will be killed, but Gao Sheng and others.
Although the approach is somewhat inappropriate, the struggle for power is so cruel.
There will never be a second force that threatens them in Youzhou.
"General Han, what should we do next!"
"We, the Guangyang Yellow Turban Army, will follow your lead!"
"Everything is subject to your arrangements!"
Gao Sheng looked at Han Xin and asked.
"First, notify the Yellow Turban leaders and Qu Shuai from all over Guangyang to come to Youzhou City!"
"In addition, the same order will be sent to officials and famous family forces in Guangyang!"
"The second point is to count all the troops of the Yellow Turban Army in Guangyang. I need a detailed report!"
"The third is to guard against enemies to the north and east of the embankment to prevent them from invading Guangyang County!"
Han Xin pondered for a while and said.
"OK!"
"I'll pass it on immediately!"
"But can you tell us how you will treat our Guangyang Yellow Turban Army next?"
This is the issue that Gao Sheng and others are most concerned about.
"Give you two choices!"
"Lead the army through the teleportation array and go to Guangzong for support. As for the travel expenses, we will pay for it!"
Han Xin said, "Second, our next plan is to capture Zhuojun to the west of Guangyang, and the remaining Guangyang Yellow Turban Army will send troops to assist in the battle!"
Although Han Xin did not say it explicitly, the meaning behind his words was very obvious.
Although you conquered Guangyang City, we still want the territory.
As for the army, the same is true.
But no matter which choice you make, the result is actually the same.
"I see!"
Gao Sheng nodded slightly.
He looked at the others and found that some people had dissatisfaction and anger on their faces.
I couldn't help but sigh softly in my heart.
He had already accepted his fate.
Even from the moment he asked for help from Shanggu County, he had anticipated this outcome.
But as for other people's thoughts, he couldn't control them.
After all, many Huangjinqu commanders or leaders relied on their own efforts to get to where they are today.
Now Han Xin waved his hand and wanted the territory and troops in their hands. Not everyone could accept it.
Especially those with reckless backgrounds, whose temperament and character are a little worse, and at the same time they are short-sighted and cannot see clearly the changes in the situation.
Once Han Xin's true intentions are exposed, it will probably cause a lot of chaos.
But judging from Han Xin's resolute attitude, he doesn't seem to care about this happening.
He even felt that Han Xin hoped that some people would stand up against them, so as to carry out a bloody purge and control the Guangyang Yellow Turban Army with thunderous means.
Although this method is a little cruel, it is the most labor-saving and effective, and it can be done once and for all.
Especially as long as all of them, the Yellow Turban Canal Commanders, are killed, the remaining lower-level troops will be very easy to control.
On the contrary, people like Gao Sheng, who are too knowledgeable, cooperated fully.
We cannot deprive him of his military power all at once. We must slowly use some small means to make him voluntarily hand over his territory and military power.
This process takes a lot of time.
After all, there is no reasonable reason for them to directly deprive Gaosheng of his position.
If you do that, you will not be able to obey, and it will cause panic and anxiety in others, which will do more harm than good.
Whatever you do, you have to pay attention to a good teacher!
And if the leaders of the Yellow Turban Qushuai rebelled against orders and committed rebellion, it would be much simpler.
After all, Qin Yuan is now the Marshal of the Yellow Turban Army, and nominally all the Yellow Turban Army is under his control.
