Chapter 18 Xiangping is in crisis

At this time, Xiangping was already facing a situation where troops were at the gates.

Gongsun Yuan was very sad, and saw that the two sides of the southeast were the King of Dongchuan in Goguryeo and the leader of the Xianbei people Mo Huba.

The two of them gathered an army of 30,000, known as the "100,000 coalition forces". They were secretly provoked by Sima Yi and were determined to attack the former Liaodong overlord.

Gongsun Yuan looked worried. If it were the previous ones, the number of troops and horses of King Dongchuan and Mo Huba would not be enough to challenge him.

But now the main forces of the Yan army are busy surrounding Sima Yi in the Liao Tunnel. The Xiangping defenders only received 5,000 people, and the troops of the enemy and us are six times different.

"It's really hateful to take advantage of the situation."

Gongsun Yuan was furious. Looking at the King of Dongchuan under the city, he couldn't help but say angrily: "Old man, why did he suddenly become Cao Wei's lackey today?"

The King of Dongchuan was not angry and said proudly: "Stop talking nonsense. Gongsun Yuan, you are ill-gotten and want to be independent, and you don't know the number of days. The king of Wei is wise and powerful, and he ordered people to join forces with the Wei army to eliminate you, an alien."

Gongsun Yuan thought to himself that if I die, the aliens in Liaodong will only become you. Since ancient times, most of the Liaodong and the northeastern areas have been uncivilized barbarians, completely a place with poor mountains, bad waters, mountains, rivers and swamps.

Not only are the living conditions poor, but the resources are also limited. Conflicts occur frequently between surrounding forces, tribes and small countries.

He sneered and said, "You should understand the principle that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. Today, Cao Wei can unite Goguryeo. Mo Huba will destroy this king. Tomorrow, you can unite one of your country and one tribe to destroy it, and then clean up one by one."

King Ce of Dongchuan immediately stepped forward and shook his head: "After that being said, I should understand that I am aware of the times. Gongsun Yuan, if you had known this principle, how could you have today's trouble? Your words are untrustful and regretful, and you have always been capricious. How can you let me trust you?"

Gongsun Yuan smiled bitterly in his heart and thought to himself: "I have been trying to change my life after seeing the wind, but in the end I lost the word "trust"."

The Wei State was determined to conquer Liaodong, and did not hesitate to form a coalition force to attack the enemy with the Xianbei people. His son finally persuaded the Eastern Wu to send troops to help Yan. Seeing that Sima Yi's death was approaching, he did not expect that his death was closer and more dangerous.

Gongsun Yuan said: "In your opinion, are you insisting on being a lackey of Wei?"

The King of Dongchuan did not feel any guilt or shame: "It is God's will and is in line with the laws of heaven. This is the culture of you Han people. As a Han Chinese, Gongsun Yuan did not know this principle."

Gongsun Yuan sighed and said, "Since that's the case, there's nothing to say."

The King of Dongchuan sneered and ordered the five divisions of Goguryeo to attack. The five divisions were the Juenu tribe, Juenu tribe, Shunu tribe, Guannu tribe, and Guilou tribe, which were the five main ethnic groups of the Goguryeo tribe.

The clash between the two sides broke out on an unprecedented scale.

Gongsun Yuan did not expect that the Battle of Liaodong had actually escalated to this point. The consul Jia Fan, the consul next to him, smiled bitterly and said, "King Yan, what should we do at present?"

Gongsun Yuan frowned and said, "The whole army resisted and defended the city. At the same time, he also asked the scouts to speed up the 800-li to report to the prince, Yang Zuo and Bei Yan, and quickly return to the army to save Xiangping, otherwise there would be a danger of the city breaking."

Jia Fan sighed: "With the strength of our army, I don't know how long it can withstand it."

He was also frowning and thought to himself: "Just this little soldier can withstand a few days, it is considered that my king's fate is great."

On the fourth day of besieging Liao Tunnel, Gongsun Xiu estimated that the grain in the city would be used for a few days, and he became more and more happy.

"Sima Yi, Sima Yi, you won't cry until you see the coffin." Gongsun Xiu looked at the south wall that was about to be broken, and sneered in his heart.

He had received news that the Wei State had assembled 50,000 troops, and Wuqiu Jian and Sima Shi led their troops to solve the problem, which made him even more crazy and attacked the Liao Tunnel.

The distant waters could not quench their near thirst, and the Wei army in Liaokou was also stopped by the Eastern Wu and could not come. They devoted themselves to destroy Sima Yi. Even if 50,000 Wei troops arrived in Liaodong, it was too late.

When the core of the main force of the Yan army was discussing the next offensive strategy, the scout who rushed into the barracks came to report and gasped: "Report! Your Highness, the Wei army united Goguryeo and Xianbei people and are attacking Xiangping--"

Before he finished speaking, another scout who came from Xiangping fled in and said in a trembling voice: "Report, Your Highness, the Prince, the King of Dongchuan and Mo Huba gathered together a hundred thousand troops to attack Xiangping--"

Gongsun Xiu heard that there was a 100,000 army, and his cheeks kept twitching. Then the third scout followed in and shouted: "Report, Your Highness, King of Dongchuan, Mobiba attacked Xiangping, known as a 100,000 army, but in fact, there were 30,000 troops. Xiangping was in danger, please go back to rescue the army."

The three scouts arrived at the Liao Tunnel one after another, less than half an hour apart. It was obvious that Xiangping's battle situation was urgent, and Gongsun Yuan issued three orders one after another.

Everyone present was shocked when they heard this. At this critical moment, it was the moment when Sima Yi was sieged. However, the Yan King Gongsun Yuan was surrounded and was also in danger.

Gongsun Xiu frowned and said, "General Yang, King of Dongchuan, who is Mobiba? How come he has never heard of it?"

Yang Zuo smiled bitterly and said, "The prince doesn't know that the King of Dongchuan is the king of Goguryeo, and Mobiba is the leader of the Xianbei people. These two forces have been hovering in the east of Liaodong, slightly weaker than our Yan State, so they shrank and showed their favors and dared not cross them. Now our Yan State is under the conquest of Wei State, and the King of Dongchuan State, Mobiba wants to take the opportunity to gain some benefits."

He suddenly had a headache. Sima Yi was enough to make Liaodong chaotic. Now Liaodong is full of war.

On this side of the Liao Tunnel was a lonely army surrounded by 25,000 people. Zhuge Jin from Liaokou led 30,000 troops to advance northward. Wang Chang's army was not allowed to cross the Liao River for a while. If he moved according to the plan, Gongsun Xiu's original intention was to surround Sima Yi after the city was broken, and then he drove to Liaokou to help Zhuge Jin defeat Wang Chang and completely destroyed the Wei army in Liaodong.

But now Goguryeo dispatched 30,000 troops to help Wei surround Xiangping, and the situation changed again.

Bei Yan whispered: "Goguryeo, the Xianbei dispatched 30,000 people to surround Xiangping. Just relying on the 5,000 soldiers around the King of Yan, if they do not rush to help, I am afraid..."

Gongsun Xiu thought to himself: "If you don't rush to help, Sima Yi will be surrounded by me at the Liao Tunnel, and his father will die with you. Without the King of Yan, I will naturally inherit the throne of King of Yan - is this a fucking thing considered a double happiness?"

Of course, he didn't dare to say this directly. One is that he was ruthless, and the other is that Gongsun Yuan was the King of Yan after all, and 600% of the soldiers in the army were towards him.

If he didn't send troops to rescue him, he would probably have a mutiny on the spot, which would be even more dangerous at that time. This is not because Gongsun Xiu was ruthless. He had no father-son relationship with Gongsun Yuan. To put it bluntly, the time traveler possessed the host.

Of course, Gongsun Yuan was also a cruel person. In history, when he was surrounded by Sima Yi and was about to be destroyed by Xiangping, he also begged for mercy by the Wei army, trying to send his own son to Wei as a hostage to show his loyalty.

But Sima Yi didn't listen to his nonsense and slaughtered all the people with the surname Gongsun in Liaodong.

He said tentatively, "General Yang, do you think this matter is a trick of the Wei army? He tried to lure our army out of the Liao Tunnel, so that Sima Yi could have a way to escape?"

Yang Zuo knew it clearly and secretly praised in his heart: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is indeed cruel and ruthless, even if his father and son are willing to take action. In this situation, withdrawing troops to rescue Xiangping may not be able to save the King of Yan, but Sima Yi will definitely die if he surrounds for another half a month. When this success is over, Sima Yi cannot be let go because of sending troops to rescue the King of Yan."

Immediately coughed dryly and echoed: "It must be true. The Wei army has always been good at fraud. How could there be 30,000 Goguryeo and the Xianbei army surrounded Xiangping? The last general's guess is a scam, so we must observe it."

The scout was confused and said in surprise: "But, this-"

Bei Yan took over the conversation and hurriedly said, "Indeed, with the great talent of the King of Yan, there is Xiangping to defend it. If there is no problem with supporting it for one or two months, we will return to Xiangping to save the King of Yan after capturing Sima Yi..."

As soon as this was said, the other middle and lower-level generals were dissatisfied and started to shout. As a close minister of Gongsun Yuan, Lunzhi, joined the army, said angrily: "Absolutely, Xiangping only has 5,000 troops to defend the city. How can he resist the six times the thief army? If there is no support, he will be afraid that he will not last half a month."
