The next day, outside the city of Hangzhou, flags were waving and embroidered belts were flying, and countless people in Hangzhou were watching the fun here.

Today is the day when Guo Yun sacrifices to heaven and calls him King Yue.

Guo Yun wore a python robe he got from somewhere, and then came to a dirt platform with a soaring crown under the escort of everyone.

If you want to say that the preparations are pretty good today, Guo Yun was a little overwhelmed by this local platform.

But there was nothing he could do. Due to the tight time, he could only pile up a dirt platform.

Guo Yun went to the terrain, and afterwards, he burned incense and prayed, and finally read the tribute aloud, telling Cangtian that he had succeeded to the throne and surpassed the throne.

After that, Guo Yun returned to the simple palace of Hangzhou City, followed by the great ministers.

Zhou Yan was actually named Prime Minister by Guo Yun, and he was more than ten thousand people.

The other commanders also had rewards, as if they were thriving.

Three days later, Guo Yun personally led a large army of 200,000 and began to go north to Nanjing.

The news from Guo Yun's side has actually been spread to Xue Feng, who is guarding Nanjing, through special channels.

Xue Feng attached great importance to this matter and immediately issued a military order to demand that the cities near Nanjing start to clear the fields with their walls.

At the same time, Xue Feng also began to spread news to Yang Heng and Li Ming who had already gone south.

However, Guo Yun's attack was very smooth. The prefectures and counties he passed by only fought two times before surrendering. Therefore, the progress was very rapid along the way. It took only ten days to reach the city of Nanjing.

Guo Yun is already a little fluttering now. He thinks he is the Lord of Destiny, so the prefectures and counties he passes by are all in sight.

Therefore, he also showed the appearance of the Lord of Compassion. He was the same for the surrendered prefectures and counties, and the original officials did not change to his own people.

By the time he arrived at the city of Nanjing, his troops had already expanded to more than 300,000.

These people are the strong men he brought along the way.

If it was in the north, there would be so many more soldiers, and I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to afford it.

But don’t forget that this is in Jiangnan, a famous land of fish and rice.

As long as you pull it casually, you can get sufficient supplies.

Therefore, when he arrived at the city of Nanjing, he not only had less food and grass, but also had more than before.

Therefore, this time Guo Yun was full of confidence. As long as he captured Nanjing City, he could expand around the world and occupy the entire Jiangnan, and then confront Yang Heng across the river.

When he arrived at the city of Nanjing, Guo Yun did not even have a rest and started siege the city the next day.

Guo Yun thought that he was in a strong morale now, and Xue Feng in Nanjing City, after this period of morale was lost, he might not be able to withstand his army.

As a result, reality slapped him hard.

On the first day of siege, he actually lost nearly 10,000 people, but Nanjing City was still located there, still standing still.

Only then did Guo Yun wake up and start thinking about his own strategies and tactics during this period.

This thought scared Guo Yun into a cold sweat.

Such a long distance from Hangzhou to Nanjing, I haven’t even changed my confidant from more than a dozen prefectures and counties?

If one or two prefectures and counties are in vain and slandering themselves, their own food route will be cut off.

After thinking of this, Guo Yun hurriedly called more than a dozen of his personal soldiers, and then wrote down documents himself, asking them to take over the prefectures and counties behind him.

These personal soldiers also knew that the matter was of great importance and did not dare to neglect it. They immediately rode their fast horses straight to the south.

Guo Yun was now relieved and took advantage of the fact that those officials did not have any thoughts they should not have, and quickly sent them to their own people so that they could feel at ease.

In the next three or four days, Guo Yun began to collect the common people near Nanjing City as cannon fodder for Gongcheng.

When Yang Heng conquered Dongshan County, he used this trick. Guo Yun wanted to give Yang Heng a way to do it and give it to him.

As a result, his soldiers ran outside for two whole days, and there were only a few hundred people collected.

Faced with this situation, Guo Yun knew that Xue Feng in the city had already prepared, and probably had moved all the people outside the city to Nanjing.

There is no other way now, I can only try another attack and test the flaws of Nanjing City.

Therefore, Guo Yun then began to attack the four walls of Nanjing City, tentatively.

He wanted to test the weaknesses of Nanjing City and then use it as a breakthrough to break through Nanjing City.

But he thought it was too simple. Is Nanjing City so easy to break?

After nearly a thousand years of continuous renovation, this city has almost no flaws.

As long as there is no internal problem, he will be well-fed and will be attacked for one or two years, and he will not be damaged.

Therefore, Guo Yun's attack this time was a failure.

Then there is only one way now, which is to trap Nanjing City until the food and grass are exhausted.

However, this method is also a dangerous move for Guo Yun.

Because if Li Ming, who had already attacked Guizhou, returned to the army at this time, it would take only one or two months to go to Nanjing City from there.

If Yang Hengde attacks by water, it will only take half a month to arrive in Nanjing.

Fortunately, both of them are trapped by the enemy now, so it is impossible to defeat the enemy quickly.

Guguan

Therefore, in order to break through Nanjing City, Guo Yun could only sweep the periphery first, then clear the field with his walls, and strive to resist Yang Heng and Li Ming who might return to the army in the future.

Only after this delayed for a long time, there was no food in Nanjing, so they couldn't even surrender.

That's the way.

After thinking it through, Guo Yun dispersed some of his troops near Nanjing City and then attacked westward.

He tried his best to open up his territory in Jiangnan. If he could conquer one or two strong cities and use these cities as the fulcrum, he should be able to stop Yang Heng for a period of time.

Moreover, Guo Yun thought that he would defeat all his attacks and win invincible battles along the way, and the city he passed by was overwhelmed by the wind.

It should be easy to expand a territory.

But this time his attack was very unsatisfactory.

The various counties and prefectures are completely different from before, and they are defending with all their might.

Guo Yun's soldiers expanded many people and their combat effectiveness decreased a little. In addition, those officials did not attack with all their strength in order to preserve their strength, so for half a month, they had not even captured a county town.

After receiving the news, Guo Yun was so angry that he shook his hands.

This is not what bothers Guo Yun the most. What bothers Guo Yun the most is that none of the Qing soldiers he sent replied to him for so long.

This gave Guo Yun a bad premonition.

What's even more deadly is that I don't know what's going on. Zhou Yan's side hasn't transported food and grass to the army for a long time.

The food and supplies in the army are only enough for the army to last for half a month.

By this time, Guo Yun had already felt that he was trapped in a huge conspiracy.

He sat in the handsome tent, and completely thought about what happened these days, and suddenly a burst of cold sweat broke out on his body.

I originally wanted to slowly endure Yang Heng to death after making some contributions under Yang Heng, and maybe I could win a great fortune in the future.

But what happened now? I was a little bit powerful and got a little proud.

This is not my usual idea.

Finally, he thought about his words and deeds these days, and finally he finally understood where the mistake was.

It was all Zhou Yan who kept bewitching his ears, which made him feel a little proud.

And this guy is too strange.

With his wisdom, he would not have thought that he would gain momentum in his rebellion and would not succeed. According to Zhou Yan's fear of death, how could he devote himself to himself?

When Guo Yun thought of this, his whole body began to tremble.

He shouted outside the tent tremblingly.

"Guo Hai comes in."

With his shout, a man in military uniform came in outside.

This man is his personal soldier and his relative.

Over the years, I have been loyal to Guo Yun and have been guarding him, which has enabled Guo Yun to escape danger in several wars.

"Master, what are you going to give me the younger one?"

"You immediately bring 5,000 troops and return to Hangzhou on the same route to replace Zhou Yan to guard Hangzhou."

After hearing this, Guo Hai stepped forward and took the command arrow, then turned around and left.

I hope he can get there, Guo Yun thought.

But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Guo Hai led 5,000 troops all the way south, but when he met the first county town, he was blocked there.

No matter how stupid Guo Hai was, he knew that something was wrong, so he personally urged his horse to come under the city wall and saw a head hanging at the city gate.
