A wide thatched hut in the middle of Dog Xie City. Wu Xiexing crossed his legs on the floor. On one side of his head, more than a dozen city lords in northern Mahan were side by side. Sitting cross-legged on the other side were the five Chen Han lords who came to join him. They should have seven, but two of them died under the swords and guns of the Liang army. At this time, they were arguing whether to give priority to attacking the Zhang Liao army on the Western Front or the Huaxiong army on the Eastern Front.

A horse-stricken master said: "Of course we should concentrate our forces to attack the Liang army on the western front. Their food route has been stretched very long. Such a long food route will make us attack easily and easily. First, we should capture Doro City again, kill off the head of the traitor, Pimaguli, and pay tribute to King Duli of Sushi."

However, someone in Chenhan City Lord retorted: "If Liang army on the Western Front is so easy to fight, you will not be defeated, and you will lose the city and the land will be lost one after another. And now I heard that Zhang Liao, the commander of the Liang army on the Western Front, has defeated Su Qi Duli. You have surrendered to Liang in the south. Zhang Liao's main force may have returned to the army to go north, how can we still use eggs to strike stones?"

After hearing this, the people from the Mahan side asked in an angry tone: "What do you think should be? Don't forget that it was you Chen Han who came to beg us to join forces with us to fight against Liang, but we were not the ones we went to find..."

Seeing the debate between the two sides becoming more and more intense, Wu Xiexing, who had been sitting on the head for a long time, immediately interrupted coldly: "Don't talk so nonsense! Everyone is a Han brother of the same ancestor and clan. Now it is time to fight against Liang together, so don't speak Heqi." Then, the other side slowly said to Chen Han's side: "What do you think?"

The Lord Chen Han also eased his tone and bowed to Wu Xiexing: "King Dog Xie, Xiao Wang believes that we should first concentrate our troops to restore the Chen Han City-Party occupied by the Liang army in the eastern mountainous area. The Liang army will gather troops to rescue them, and then we set up an ambush in the mountains and ridges, attack them, and finally let them retreat in the face of difficulties and withdraw from our three Han areas."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone from Mahan sneered: "This abacus is a good idea. Even if we can attack the Liang army in the eastern mountainous areas, we may not be able to drive it out of our Mahan territory, but they will definitely not enter your Chenhan territory easily."

When Chen Han heard this teasing words and was about to get angry, he ordered soldiers to report: "Report to the king, the scouts in front came to report that there were large Liang troops coming from the south, and there was also a Liang troops coming from the east, and they all entered Doro City. Later, our scouts arranged for detailed work in Doro City to inquire from many ways, and only then did they know that the enemy generals Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong were all in it."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Someone said, "The Liang army of two groups met in Doro. It seems that they were going to attack the few remaining Mahan countries first."

Wu Xiexing nodded and said, "Yes, and I also expected that they would come to attack my Dog Evil Kingdom first." As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier came to report: "Report to the King, a Liang army of four or five thousand is advancing towards the Dog Evil Kingdom!"

After hearing this, everyone here changed their faces. But Wu Xiexing seemed to have already made a plan and sneered: "They are coming to capture the city of my Dog Xie Kingdom, so let's give it to them."

Then, Wu Xiexing turned to the Chen Han people and said, "I will adopt your opinions and follow your strategy to solve the problems in the east first."

The Chen Han masters showed joy, but Wu Xiexing changed the subject and said, "However, we must make a little modification to the plan you mentioned. We will not regain the cities occupied by the Liang army, but will attack the Qin Han city-states first and solve the ungrateful traitors. There are two benefits to doing this. If they destroy them, they will destroy the Liang army's minions. Without them, the Liang army would become blind and deaf in the mountains and ridges, and there will be no advantage in fighting with us in the mountains. Second, if we besiege one of the cities, they will inevitably ask for help from the Liang army. And we ambushed the mountain road that the Liang army must pass in advance and give the Liang army a painful attack."

The Han people immediately kowtowed to Wu Xiexing and said, "The Dog Xie King's plan is very good. We will follow the king's plan and cut off his minions first when killing the tiger."

...

In the autumn rain, an army that could not see the end was winding on the mountain road in front of Gouxie City. It was the Liang army led by Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong. They lined up neat military formations and carefully advanced on the mountain road at a very slow speed, defending against attacks that might come from the dense forests on both sides of the mountain road at any time. In the mountains, rustling sounds and barking sounds of dogs came from time to time. It was the Liang army's mountain scouts searching in the dense forests.

Finally, the front army arrived at the Gouxie City. Hua Xiong, who was commanding the front army, stood up and looked up at the Gouxie City with its closed gate, and found that the city was not seen by a few flags floating in the wind and rain at the top of the city. He cursed to himself: "Damn, I must have heard the wind again and ran away in advance."

However, even though he made such a conclusion, he still sent scouts to climb the city wall into the city to open the city gate according to the basic rules of the Liang army. After the scouts found out the situation in the city, some soldiers and generals stayed at the city gate and rode their horses and rushed into the city with cavalry. As expected, Gou Xie City was completely abandoned by Wu Xiexing. Soon, Zhang Liao, who was located in the central army, also entered Gou Xie City. He sighed to Hua Xiong: "Now the Han Yi is unwilling to fight head-on with our army, and wandering between these high mountains and ridges is also a headache. Fortunately, I am not in a hurry, so I will continue to play with them. In the future, we will focus on this Gou Xie City, conquering the remaining Mahan city-states, and clearing out the remaining Mahan army in the surrounding mountains. Then we will move westward. At this moment, I don't know whether the cities in the valleys we occupied in Chenhan can be defended by the Haidong Army."

Hua Xiong heard this and patted his chest and said, "Brother Wenyuan, don't worry, although these Haidong Army are newly trained new troops, even if these Korean and Yi gathered all their troops to siege, they would have no problem defending the city for ten days and half a month."

Seven or eight days passed in a blink of an eye. During these times, Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong attacked everywhere and captured the remaining Mahan cities around Gou Xie City. As Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong expected, most of these cities were abandoned by the Mahan army, and a small number of them resisted a little and hurriedly evacuated.

However, the Liang army never discovered the main force of Mahan and Chen Han army. Zhang Liao and Huaxiong had to wait for the garrisoned Haidong Army to arrive and then advance into the mountains further east. On that day, Zhang Liao and Huaxiong were eating lunch when they heard someone shouting loudly outside. When Zhang Liao heard this, although he could understand Chinese, his accent was very strange.
