After leaving Xingyang, Wang Buye met a grain transport team sent by Zhang Liang not far outside Xingyang City.

After receiving the food, Wang Buye directly led his army to turn south.

Wang Cheng will be responsible for the subsequent supplies, and Wang Cheng only needs to be responsible for the food transportation of Wang Buye's side in this war.

Guan Ying was deeply involved in the enemy's backbone and took away a lot of food from the beginning. In addition, the planned attack on the county towns along the way, there were a certain amount of food stored. The attack on the county town was to replenish weapons and equipment, and to make final preparations for the capture of Hangu Pass.

Wang Bue's first goal was Jingxian, not far from Xingyang.

The two counties are very close, only a few dozen miles away, and this ancient city once had a glorious history.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, it was once a city of Zheng State, where Duke Wu of Zheng moved the capital here.

Wang Buye visited this place in later generations. It was on the southeast side of Xingyang. You can see ancient bricks, many and exquisite, most of which are hollow, and there are some patterns on it.

If these ancient monuments are too small, what about the city walls?

It was really that Wang Buye saw the ancient city wall of Jingxian more than two thousand years later, and he could clearly see the layering of rammed earth.

There is another rumor here. When building the city, a lot of labor was killed because it required a lot of manpower to consolidate it.

Due to the tight construction period, the dead can only be buried nearby, so a rumor about ghosts fighting the city was left among the people.

Of course, these have nothing to do with now.

Jing County is not large in scale, three and a half miles long from north to south and three miles wide from east to west. There are only more than 1,000 residents in the city, and the population of the county is only more than 3,000.

Placed in the Central Plains, this population is really hard to raise.

There is no special meaning to attack Jingxian County. It is purely to express that wherever you pass, you are all my country!

Wang Buye went south in this trip, in addition to attacking Zhang Han's army, another important purpose was to capture the counties along the way and expand their power.

If you want to develop next, relying solely on Xingyang is far from enough.

"Young Master, the scouts' return, there are less than 100 guards in Beijing, and their weapons are broken and they have no intention of fighting!" Chen Tieshan hurriedly told Wang Buye about the latest situation.

"Well, send a battalion and give another hundred guerrilla generals to collect it!" Wang Buye said casually.

Jingxian only has a certain reputation in history. In reality, his strength is really weak.

Wang Bu'e could send five hundred people to a battalion, and add a hundred guerrillas to go there and even if they look down on them.

You know, a few months ago, Wu Guang sent a hundred people over and Jingxian surrendered directly.

The more you go east, the weaker the fighting will in the place will be.

Even the Guanzhong area is not much better.

Zhou Wen led a large army into Guanzhong, and the people along the way responded and joined. This is a good example.

The Qin Dynasty not only failed to win the hearts of the people of the six countries, but even the hearts of the people in the Qin area were gradually lost.

The marquis of the world were attracted by this, so they all revolted one after another after Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.

Facing the proud and complacent, proud and contented Chen Sheng, Zhang Han could fight smoothly, but when he met other princes, Zhang Han was a little too scared to see.

The five hundred leaders who are currently attacking Jingxian lead their troops to arrive and are about to enter the offensive procedure.

The county magistrate of Jingxian County led a group of officials and the people out of the city, respectfully handed over the county magistrate's seal and the household registration book of Jingxian County.

Well, surrendered!

What else can you do if you don’t surrender?

Half a year ago, they belonged to the Qin Dynasty. Wu Guang's army came. They had no power to fight at all and had to surrender.

Who knew that Wu Guang's army was wiped out, and Chen Sheng's subordinates all made themselves kings, which led to Chen Sheng's nominal occupation of a large area, but in fact he could only control Chen County.

He wanted to take care of other places, but the problem was that there was no one and no energy.

Especially in a small place like Jing County, although it is a county, the population is only more than 3,000. It is so poor that he can't afford to eat. Chen Sheng didn't plan to ask them anyway.

But places like Jingxian are places that no one takes seriously.

Because he is too young.

In comparison, Wang Bu'e focused all his attention on Mi County.

Mi County was another major county after Wang Buye left Xingyang. According to legend, Mi County was also the hometown of Fuxi and Nuwa. At the beginning of the Five Emperors, it was also the capital of Huangdi Xuanyuanqiu, and later it was the capital of the Kingdom of Ju. Until Zheng destroyed the Kingdom of Ju and Mi, and later moved the capital here. During the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, this place belonged to South Korea.

The reason why this place is loved by many marquis is because of its unique geographical environment, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The county town is located on the edge of the mountains, and it is difficult for the army to enter the south. There is a mountain in the north, and posts are placed on it. When the weather is good, you can see the movements of the army dozens of miles away.

Although the amount of cultivated land in Mi County is not as good as that in Xingyang, the population is almost the same as that in Xingyang.

All of this is because the surrounding mountains are full of mountains, farming when busy, and hunting when free, so the living conditions here are relatively better.

From a distance, Wang Buye saw the symbolic mountain of Mi County, which was dark.

He could see the mountains, and the sentries on the mountains could also see him.

At night, the troops set up camp.

The exhausted scout came late and before he even had time to drink a sip of water, he spoke directly: "Young Master, Mi County is well prepared and has a large number of troops. When you swept your eyes, there are at least 5,000 people. Moreover, the county magistrate of Mi County Zhou Fu ordered all the people, young, women and children around to enter the mountains, and all the young and strong people to enter the county town."

"Hard the city is clear and the world is guarding the city?" Wang Bue frowned slightly.

This battle is a bit difficult. If he really set his sights on, he would definitely be able to conquer Mi County, but it would be too late in time.

And if we count the time, at most, Zhang Han's army will arrive in Xingyang in three days.

He had to take down Mi County within two days, then headed his troops north to take down Gong County, and directly cut off the retreat of Zhang Han's army.

In order to completely cut off the retreat of Zhang Han's army, Wang Bu'e not only set up a line of defense.

Cut off Gong County is the first thing. If Han Wangxin is reliable enough, he should have caused trouble near Luoyang. Even if he can't take it, he can at least restrain the energy of Luoyang defenders and make him unable to support eastward.

He even attracted the defenders of Hangu Pass. At the same time, Guan Ying raided Hangu Pass. If Hangu Pass could be taken down, Zhang Han's grain road would be completely cut off, and it would be as cold as it could not be cooler.

In order to alleviate the pressure on Xingyang, he had to take Gong County within three days of Zhang Han's attack on Xingyang, so as to disrupt Zhang Han's army's morale.

However, the information sent back from Mi County was not optimistic. The young and strong man entered the city and undoubtedly planned to defend the situation.

Even if an inexperienced farmer goes to defend the city, it is an extremely troublesome thing for the attacking side.

Looking at the endless mountains, although not particularly high, it is still a headache. The geographical location does not have an advantage, and now there is such a tight defense on the other side.

It once again adds some difficulty to the siege battle that has been the most difficult to fight since ancient times.

Fast, you have to be fast, you can only spend two days here at most, but if you fail to take over Mi County, it will be like leaving a hidden danger behind you.

"Huh? There is!"
