Traveling to become an npc, I am stronger than a famous general!

Great Chu City is actually not bad either.

But what they didn't expect was that this time Yu Jiangran played a little out of the routine.

After he came, he started grabbing the territory and not talking about it. Once he found out that there were forces opposing him, he immediately arrested them and didn't give him a chance to explain.

If you choose to resist, you will face the attack of the Chu army.

No matter how tough they are, the gentry of Jiangxia County are not as sharp as the swords of the Great Chu army.

Everyone cherishes their lives, especially powerful people like them, they cherish their lives even more.

Once they found out that the matter might endanger their own lives, they immediately froze.

Then send people to send money and goods to express support for Yu Jiangran.

Of course Yu Jiangran knew what they were thinking.

But he didn't care, and he didn't want it. In such a short period of time, everyone in Jiangxia County could sincerely support him.

This is impossible.

What he needs now is actually just support from the show.

As long as the people in Jiangxia County show support for him and do not cause trouble for him, so that he can prepare his army with peace of mind and resist the possible attack of Yuan Shu's army.

His requirements are actually not high.

As long as the gentry in Jiangxia County don't make trouble for him behind the scenes, just watch him fight honestly.

In 930, he did not want to rely on these people from Jiangxia County to fight against Yuan Shu.

Even if people from Jiangxia County are willing to support him and organize people to join him, Yu Jiangran dare not accept them at this time.

Who knows, among these people, will there be any spies belonging to Yuan Shu.

If these people were accepted in such a haste.

If at the critical moment of the war, these people jumped out to create chaos for him, then he might be in big trouble.

Lessons from the past are not far away.

Not long ago, he used this method to easily defeat Cui Yingling.

To be honest, if it is really a real sword and gun, fighting Yu Jiangran, he really can't get addicted to it. .

Chapter 550 Prepare Food and Grass

Yu Jiangran didn't want to see that one day in the future, when he led his troops to a decisive battle with Yuan Shu, his backyard would catch fire.

Therefore, to avoid similar discovery, Yu Jiangran is now acting very cautiously.

The men and horses under him are basically the Great Chu Army brought over from the Great Chu.

The only city guards who maintain local law and order are the former city guard troops that were incorporated locally.

These people are soldiers anyway, at this time, disbanding them is not very good, after they go out, it may cause confusion to Jiang Xia.

It is even possible to be recruited by the enemy and become the vanguard to attack Jiangxia County.

In order to show this kind of thing, Yu Jiangran basically kept all these Jiang Xia soldiers.

Although they may not be used in war, they can still be used for guarding places.

Anyway, there is no need to give them too much salary now, at most it is just wasting some food to feed them.

Besides, the gentry in Jiangxia County have been so active in sending money and things, which has already enriched Yu Jiangran's food and grass, so he no longer has to worry about food.

It can be regarded as raising a group of people.

Wait until these people are raised.

After Yuan Shu was defeated and driven away, and Jiang Xia's side stabilized, all Jiang Xia's soldiers were sent to Da Chu for training for a period of time.

When they are released again, they will be considered the real Great Chu Army.

At that time, you can actually use them.

Well, not quite right now.

On Yu Jiangran's side, while arguing with the local gentry, he presided over the defense and summoned people to build the city defense.

But when he was doing this, Yuan Shu's army was getting farther and farther away from Jiangxia County.

Yuan Shu brought his soldiers to the outside of Xiangyang City, hundreds of miles away.

Xiangyang City.

After Gao Yan entered Xiangyang City, he vigorously repaired the city defenses to prepare for the upcoming siege.

Yu Jiangran wrote him in great detail.

If Yuan Shu's army knew that he had occupied Xiangyang, they would definitely send a large force to attack.

Yu Jiangran told Gao Yan that no matter who came to Xiangyang to fight, he was not allowed to go out of the city to fight.

All you need to do is close the gates of the city and guard the city.

What he wanted was not for Gao Yan to defeat Yuan Shu's army or kill many generals, what he wanted was Xiangyang.

As long as Xiangyang is always in the hands of Gao Yan, Yu Jiangran will not have any problems in Jiangxia.

Before Yuan Shu took Xiangyang, he definitely didn't dare to invade Jiangxia County. Even if he wanted to attack Jiangxia, he had to attack both Xiangyang and Jiangxia at the same time.

Keeping Xiangyang here is a constraint for Yuan Shu.

Yu Jiangran clearly told Gao Yan that his role was to stay in Xiangyang and cause trouble for Yuan Shu.

Of course, Gao Yan approved of Yu Jiangran's prediction.

After he entered Xiangyang, he collected grain everywhere and transported all the surrounding grain into Xiangyang City.

The plan is to hide in Xiangyang City for half a year without going out.

Let's see what Yuan Shu can do with him.

Half a year's food and grass should be enough for them to persist until Yuan Shu retreats.

If Yuan Shu is really so steely and can persist in attacking the city for half a year without retreating (Nuo Hao), then Gao Yan can only consider himself unlucky.

But even so, Gao Yan was not afraid.

He believed that Yu Jiangran in Jiangxia would definitely not watch Yuan Shu storm Xiangyang without doing something.

On the second day after Gao Yan gathered the food and grass, the spies who had been released came back with news that Yuan Shu's [-] troops were marching towards Xiangyang, and they would reach the city of Xiangyang in less than a day.

In order to avoid trouble, Gao Yan directly ordered Xiangyang City to be closed. .

Chapter 551 The army arrives

As for the people of Xiangyang, stay away from leaving Xiangyang City to go to other places, let them leave.

Those who don't want to leave, let them hide at home temporarily and don't run around.

People in troubled times are very experienced in avoiding military disasters.

When they saw Gao Yan's army entering Xiangyang, they knew that a big war was inevitable.

The people, who were afraid of being affected, dragged their families into the nearby mountains, preparing to take refuge in the mountains.

It's not too late to go home after the war is over.

As for some big families, they have nothing to be afraid of. Anyway, no matter who wins in the end, they just need to give some money and some food, and there will be no problem.

No matter who gets Xiangyang, they need their help all the time, so 930 can notify Xiangyang.

Moreover, even if they want to run, it is not as simple as ordinary people.

Ordinary people have no property at home, and they will not be afraid of losing anything when they run away. Their property can be taken away with a package.

But big families are different, many of their properties cannot be taken away.

There are also things in the house that cannot be taken away.

Therefore, they couldn't leave, so they could only stay in Xiangyang and wait for the war to end.

Outside Xiangyang Cheng, Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling was leading the vanguard, looking at Xiangyang City hundreds of meters away.

Looking at the Great Chu flag waving in the wind on the top of the city, he frowned slightly. "General? This battle is not easy for us, and the opponent is obviously ready."

"Of course I know it's not easy to fight, but since the lord has ordered us to take down Xiangyang as quickly as possible, no matter how difficult it is for us to fight, we must fight this city of Xiangyang.

It's just a pity that at the previous troop dispatch meeting, Yang Changshi suggested that the lord should send someone to take Xiangyang first, and then march from Xiangyang to take Jiangxia.

But everyone thought that there is no need to waste time to take Xiangyang, as long as we can take Jiangxia County before the Chu army, we can cut off Dachu's access to Jiangbei. At that time, even if they want to take Xiangyang , it is impossible.

But what we didn't expect was that Dachu would move so fast. Not only did they win Jiangxia County before us, but they also took Xiangyang into their own hands (daea) one step ahead of us.

Now that Dachu has Jiangxia in the east and Xiangyang in the west, if we want to fight them again, we can only do it on both sides at the same time.Regardless of which side we fight alone, the other half will take the initiative to attack from our rear.This really allowed Da Chu to control the initiative in the war. "

Ji Ling felt a little regretful. If he had followed Yang Changshi's plan and sent troops to take Xiangyang first, he would not have been able to get Jiang Xia.

With Xiangyang in hand, he can boldly attack Jiangxia, not afraid of problems in his rear.

The initiative of the battle will always be in their hands.

But the problem now is that Xiangyang has been held by Da Chu.

In other words, the initiative of the war is in Da Chu's hands.

If they want to fight, they can fight, and if they don't want to fight, they don't have to fight.

Just like now.

Once people close the city gate, you can only watch and worry, which is of no use at all.

Unless you can go all out, don't be afraid of casualties, directly block with human life, and start a large-scale siege.

But the casualties in the siege battle are too great, can one side afford it?

The biggest problem is that, despite the casualties, it would be fine if Xiangyang can be taken down.

If the casualties are huge, and even Xiangyang City is not taken in the end, it will be troublesome.

Maybe he, the vanguard general, will not be too late to go around.

At this time, the general is usually chosen to fight. .

Chapter 552

If the opponent fights, the two sides will fight for a round, and the victory or defeat will be decided in the future.

But the problem is, even if you want to fight, you need people's consent.

Judging by Da Chu's appearance, it doesn't look like he wants to agree to go out of the city to fight.

This also makes sense.

If it was him, Ji Ling, who was guarding the city at this time, he would definitely not fight.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a strong city to defend?

Why run out and take risks?

"Forget it, let's send two people up to fight. No matter whether the other party fights or not, we need to at least try."

After Ji Ling finished speaking, he ordered his subordinates to send out men to go under the city wall to scold and fight.

Facing the scolding war under the city, the Chu army in Xiangyang City acted as if they hadn't heard it, and didn't even bother to respond.

Before that, Gao Yan had reminded them that the enemy would come to scold them, so they should ignore it.

Don't fall into the trap of the enemy.

What's more, no matter what the enemy calls him Gaoyan, you don't need to be a mouthpiece to tell him.

Gao Yan was afraid that he couldn't help but go out to fight when he heard it, so he ran back to the city directly and simply refused to listen.

No matter what the other party said, he didn't know.

It won't be exciting anymore.

As for whether the opponent will attack the city.
