Qingzhou, Changyang County.

Under the scorching sun, the high city walls stood silently. The Liaodong army soldiers on the top of the city looked vigilantly at the situation outside the city and did not dare to relax for a moment. Since Gongsun Du occupied Changyang City with less than 5,000 remaining troops, the Qingzhou Prefecture troops have siege the county town, surrounded by all sides, leaving only the south city for Gongsun Du.

Although Chen Rong and others acted as if they were "please go out of the city", Gongsun Du no longer had capital to take risks. The last time Zang Hong deceived him out of Huang County, the county town, caused most of the Liaodong army to lose. The former Liaodong prefect did not dare to take risks with his life anyway. The well-planned expedition to the Shandong Peninsula actually led to the capture of his nest by the Yellow Turbans, and the army expedition to Qingzhou was defeated by Zang Hong and trapped in the small Changyang City. Such a blow made Gongsun Du, who was once arrogant in Liaodong, feel depressed and almost at the point of collapse.

The combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Army is far better than that of the Qingzhou Prefecture troops, and the food and grass in the city are enough for the Liaodong Army to spend two months. It seems that it is not difficult to defend Changyang City for 5,000 elite troops of the Liaodong Army, which have been through many battles, but the actual situation is far from that simple.

The Yellow Turban Army captured the entire territory of Liaodong and the Liaodong soldiers who were expeditioning Qingzhou were worried about their hometowns. The morale was self-evident. If the navy of Qingzhou Prefecture had not burned all the Liaodong Army ships from the beginning, many people would have been deserters. Gongsun Du obviously would not have felt grateful to Zang Hong. It was Zang Hong's relentless pursuit and constant use of fraud to set up ambush that caused the Liaodong Army to fall into such an embarrassing situation.

Xuzhou Governor Tao Qian has made a clear statement and refused to accept the remnants of the Liaodong Army. "With the great talent of the Gong, it is too insignificant to serve in Xuzhou, so you should not seek a high position!" This news was strictly blocked. Gongsun Du, who was at the end of the road, had to choose a way out and send someone to talk to Yuan Shao about Xiang, hoping that Yuan Shao would come forward to repel Zang Hong in order to retain the last bit of strength.

With five thousand remaining soldiers occupying a county town, the Qingzhou Prefecture troops are approaching outside the city. What is the future of the Liaodong Army?

There are enough food and supplies for two months, but what about two months later?

Qingzhou Prefecture's approach to open the Internet is also constantly suffering the nerves of Liaodong soldiers. They are not in a desperate situation, and they still have the right to choose. In any case, Zang Hong's move made Gongsun Du extremely uncomfortable. The information conveyed in the eyes of Liaodong soldiers was only contradiction and hesitation. Their will was softening bit by bit. The Liaodong Iron Army, which had few defeats in the northern border, actually had soldiers fled in the dark!

This kind of thing has never happened in the history of the Liaodong military and local governments!

Regardless of day and night, in each corner, some Liaodong soldiers gathered together to whisper, and they had no idea what they were talking about. In order not to be tied up by their soldiers, they went to Qingzhou Prefecture to receive meritorious service, and to save the few remaining troops, Gongsun Du had to increase the frequency of patrols.

"We can't continue like this. We must find something for them to boost everyone's fighting spirit!" Gongsun Du ordered the Liaodong Army to take the initiative to attack and harass Chen Rong, the troops outside Changyang City, and sent a number of small troops to leave the city from the south gate under the night to plunder the food in nearby villages and towns. Although there is still a lot of food and grass in the city, Gongsun Du still issued this order. He didn't know how long he would stay here. It was always good to collect some food and grass in multiple places.

Chen Rong was safe in his troops. The Qingzhou Prefecture troops were not as good as their opponents. There was no need to fight with the Liaodong Army now. Chen Rong just guarded the stable camp and had deep ditches and high bases. He would never fight easily. The Liaodong army and territory were disturbed many times, but the attack on the camp was ineffective. Instead, he lost a lot of people; and the small troops went out to grab grain and land, and they were surrounded and suppressed by Qingzhou Army and territory one after another. Several hundred-man teams were wiped out. The Liaodong Army no longer dared to go out to the city to fight easily. The morale was even lower.

The army's morale was shaken, and even some desperate soldiers began to openly question the general's orders. The deserters quickly increased from more than a dozen people a day to hundreds every day!

At this moment, Zang Hong waved his butcher knife to the Liaodong Army again.

When Gongsun Du led his army to defend Changyang City, Zang Hong did not want the Qingzhou troops to suffer too much loss. He did have the idea of ​​letting Gongsun Du leave. He was frightened and Gongsun Du dared not believe that Zang Hong had released his kindness. Zang Hong was willing to give him more time. Qingzhou Prefecture also needs time to form a powerful troops. But Gongsun Du should not have been sure. In order to save the morale of the troops, he sent troops to attack Qingzhou Prefecture's troops and looted nearby towns!

Zang Hong was talented and determined. Gongsun Du's approach completely aroused Zang Hong's anger. After learning that the Liaodong Army had more and more deserters, and learned from the side that Tao Qian refused to accept Gongsun Du, Zang Hong began to increase troops outside Changyang City. Every day, the Liaodong Army above the city, the Xindi troops joined the camps outside the city. A large number of Qingzhou troops were logged and dug for digging ditches. While strengthening the defense of the camp tents, they rushed to make siege equipment.

This put great psychological pressure on the Liaodong Army!

"Did the Qingzhou Army pretend to behave, or do they really plan to attack the county town at any cost?"

This question has always troubled the Liaodong Army. After discussing with his advisers, Gongsun Du concluded that unless Zang Hong was crazy, it would be impossible to attack!

Gongsun Du underestimated Zang Hong's determination and strategy.

Zang Hongzhong was brave and brave. He had never had a good impression of Gongsun Du, a warlord who ceded land and became king in Liaodong. Moreover, Gongsun Du had no idea of ​​Qingzhou and was bullied. If the remnants of the Liaodong Army were allowed to continue to occupy Changyang City, a large number of troops in Qingzhou Prefecture would be kept here, consuming land, money and food every day. If the army was withdrawn, the nearby towns would be unable to resist the invasion of Liaodong Army and the invasion of Qingzhou in the long run. In the most important point, most of the troops in Qingzhou are from various counties and counties now, and the number of troops directly under the prefecture was very small. In the siege, it would be beneficial to Zang Hong's subsequent rule of Qingzhou. When forming an elite force completely in the hands of the prefecture, the rebound of local forces would not be so high!

With limited military pay and the miscellaneous troops in the hands of local forces, it will be difficult for the regular army of the prefecture to expand!

It was in this situation that Zang Hong was determined to completely eliminate Gongsun Du, "If you give you a chance to leave, you will not blame others if you don't cherish it."

When Zang Hong and a large number of siege equipment appeared outside Changyang City, Gongsun Du deeply realized that he had miscalculated the situation. But at this time he had lost the opportunity to abandon the city. One was worried about falling into the trap of the Qingzhou army again. The other was that Xuzhou had also assembled troops at the border to prevent Gongsun Du's troops from entering the country forcibly. Apart from standing by the county town and waiting for Yuan Shao to help, Gongsun Du had no other choice!

Qingzhou Prefecture is not in a hurry to launch an siege. Zang Hong and Chen Rong will send some soldiers to the city every day to shout, "Start the general attack in three days, and surrender quickly if you don't want to die. If you don't want to surrender, you can put down your weapons and retreat from the south gate."

Until this time, Qingzhou Prefecture was still surrounded by three sides, with one side open!

The Liaodong Army could no longer see any hope. More and more enemy troops outside the city were siege equipment, making Gongsun Du's troops look dead. Ironically, at least half of the siege equipment in Qingzhou Prefecture came from the Liaodong Army. When Gongsun Du retreated from Huangxian, he left all the siege equipment in the city as agreed. Whenever he thought of the Qingzhou Prefecture's troops, even if he used the siege equipment transported from Liaodong to attack the Liaodong Army, everyone was sad.

On the first night after the ultimatum, more than 300 Liaodong troops either put down their weapons and surrendered from the city. They either left directly from the southern gate of Changyang to try to return to Liaodong.

The next day, the Liaodong Army lost more than 500 troops again!

Although Gongsun Du strengthened the control, nearly 800 soldiers left the city on the third day, including a law enforcement team he sent. The Liaodong Army, which was still guarding Changyang and refused to leave the city, was only more than 3,000 left. These more than 3,000 people were elites who had followed Gongsun Du for many years. There was no doubt about their loyalty. Even if Gongsun Du was at the end of his journey, they were unwilling to deviate. Everyone was willing to live and die with Gongsun Du!

After three days, the siege began as scheduled.

The three thousand Liaodong Army, which was in desperate situation, had a ten-fold difference in strength against more than 30,000 Qingzhou Prefecture troops. It seemed that there would be no suspense in the result, but the tragic level of this battle was beyond everyone's expectations. The three thousand Liaodong Army elite troops, with the elite troops who were determined to die, showed the bravery and loyalty of Liaodong men to the world!

Three thousand troops fought ten times more than the enemy's attacks day and night. They defended Changyang County for seven days and seven nights and repelled more than 20 attacks from the Qingzhou Army. Changyang's moat had long been filled with soil and weapons. Under the continuous destruction of siege vehicles, the city walls of Changyang City were crumbling, but Changyang City was still under the control of the Liaodong Army!

During this period, Chen Rong and Zang Hong both led their troops to fight in person, trying to break through the city wall defense line in one go. They once saw hope of success, but under the Liaodong man's counterattack, he had to retreat. Chen Rong's back and abdomen were injured.

On the morning of the eighth day, Yuan Shao's envoy arrived in front of the formation.

"Mr. Governor, the leader of Kanto has an order: the former Liaodong prefect Gongsun Du returns to his back and is willing to join the Guandong anti-rebellion army. Qingzhou Prefecture immediately stops its attack on Changyang City and escorts the rest of Gongsun Du's troops to Jizhou. The leader of the alliance has sent troops to meet the border between Hebei and Qinghai!"

Zang Hong's face turned ashen, his lungs were almost irritated. He spent countless money, food and supplies, and sacrificed the lives of more than 10,000 soldiers. He finally beat Gongsun Du to only half of his life. Yuan Shao let him go in one sentence? Gongsun Du suffered such a big loss in Qingzhou, and it was impossible to say that he had no resentment towards Zang Hong. When he recovered, he would definitely seize every opportunity to seek revenge. If he let Gongsun Du go, he would return to Yuan Shao, which would leave a hidden danger to Qingzhou!

Looking at Chen Rong, a friend who was injured and still insisted on commanding the troops, Zang Hong chose to say "no".

"Please reply to the leader of the alliance: Gongsun Du's ambition was to establish himself as king in Liaodong during the war in the Central Plains. When the princes of Guandong attacked Dong Zhuo, this guy did not respond. He should be punished! Hongmeng's leader is kind and takes over the position of governor of Qingzhou. Gongsun Du offended our Qingzhou for no reason, which means he is disrespectful to the leader of the alliance. Now he is in a state of poverty and is alone and surrenders. There must be a deception! If the tiger returns to the mountain, there will be endless troubles. Hong dares to ask the leader to think twice and make a decision. He said that he was asking Yuan Shao to reconsider the army. Zang Hong turned his back and continued to command the troops to rush to Changyang City. I am afraid that before Yuan Shao's envoy returned to Bohai, Gongsun Du's head would be no longer protected. The envoy knew that it was powerful, "Does the governor intend to disrespect the alliance's will?"

Zang Hong smiled, "I dare not. Of course, the leader of the alliance must listen to the words, but I also know another sentence: I will be outside, and the Lord will not accept it!"

Yuan Shao's envoy sighed and stomped his feet away.

The fate of the Liaodong military and local governments is irreversible!

On the ninth day of the siege of Changyang, the city walls collapsed one after another in the east and north. There were gaps in the city walls, and the tide-like Qingzhou troops rushed into the city along the gap and launched street fighting with the Liaodong Army. By this time, there were less than a thousand elite soldiers in the three thousand Liaodong. They were exhausted, and many of them had not met for many days. They were difficult to defend the positions on all four walls. Everyone believed that the emergence of these two gaps meant that the end of the Liaodong Army would arrive and the Liaodong Army would collapse soon.

However, it turns out that the will of the elite soldiers of the Liaodong Army is even harder than steel bars!

The Liaodong army still did not give up resistance. Gongsun Du drew more than 200 troops from the top of the city and launched a counterattack against the Qingzhou army that had just rushed into the city at two gaps! More than 200 Liaodong athletes, covered in blood and looked like ghosts, fought hard for more than half an hour, and drove the Qingzhou army into the city from the gap!

At the end of the hedge war, only more than 30 heroes were left, and they stood in the gap in dismay. They were looking for targets everywhere, and all the injured Qingzhou troops who had not died would be chopped up by them. Their cruelty and ruthlessness were outrageous. Their nerves were completely numb. After seeing that there were no enemies around them who could still breathe, they didn't know who took the lead. More than 30 people waved their weapons and rushed out of the gap in the gap. After a while, they were surrounded and beaten to death by a large number of Qingzhou troops outside the city!

Even though he was as brave as Zang Hong, he couldn't help but take a breath when he saw the actions of the more than 30 Liaodong Army. While respecting the warriors, Zang Hong was even more determined to destroy Gongsun Du, "If you have such a warrior under your command... you must not give Gongsun Du any chance."

The Liaodong Army was no longer able to fill the gap in the city wall, and the people of Changyang City would not take the initiative to provide any help to these invaders from outside the country. The Liaodong Army did not even have enough personnel to drive the Changyang villagers to do things. It would be quite good if those people did not secretly make trouble.

On the night of the ninth day, Gongsun Du had to choose to give up the city wall. He gathered the last little remaining troops, fought and retreated, and finally retreated to the city lord's mansion. The Qingzhou army quickly liberated all areas in Changyang County except the city lord's mansion, and launched a final strong attack on the city lord's mansion overnight!

On the tenth day, before the sun rose, the Changyang City Lord's Mansion was broken. The arrogant Liaodong King Gongsun Du committed suicide by kissing his neck at the last moment.

Gongsun Du, fall! Gongsun Du's power is destroyed!

After Han Sui was dismembered by swords during the Liangzhou War of Resistance, Gongsun Du became the second fallen prince. The only difference is that Han Sui died from the siege of players, while Gongsun Du died from the internal struggle between the princes.

When the Liaodong Army boarded the ship and crossed the sea, this army was full of vitality and hope. They achieved amazing and impressive results in their battles with foreign races in the north: the Wuhuan grasslands in the east and west of Liao and the Goguryeo in the east all witnessed the strength of the Liaodong Army; however, from the moment they crossed the sea and expedition, the defeat of this steel army was destined. The powerful Liaodong Army took less than two months to go from its peak to extreme decline, which is awesome!

In the battle of Changyang, all the last three thousand elite soldiers of the Liaodong Army died in the city. In an extremely unfavorable situation, they still killed more than 12,000 Qingzhou troops in the battle to defend the city, and held on for nine days and nine nights. Even though they were defeated, they were still honored.

The fall of Gongsun Du also made Zang Hongdi become popular quickly.

The navy attack cut off Gongsun Du's retreat; it tricked the Liaodong army from the city with high walls and thick materials; it continuously ambushed and killed along the way; it opened the net of Changyang city; it attacked the Liaodong army before siege... All these actions made Zang Hong's courage and good strategy fully demonstrated.

Most of the troops of local forces in Qingzhou suffered heavy losses in the Changyang offensive and defensive battle. After the battle, Zang Hong refused to return the troops transferred from various places to the army in Changyang under the pretext of "the remnants of the Liaodong Army should be searched to prevent them from continuing to do evil in Qingzhou." Instead, he selected strong men from it and joined the new army of the prefecture, and took advantage of the situation to disrupt the organization of troops in various places and reintegrate them.

After this battle, Zang Hong's control over Qingzhou became more profound. Many local powerful forces with indiscriminate plans saw Zang Hong's methods with their own eyes, and they were all more obedient than rabbits.

However, Zang Hong also offended Yuan Shao, the leader of Kanto League, who promoted him.
