Chapter 207 Pacifying Longxi
Lin Ke suddenly realized that the fate of Wei Xiao's two sons was actually just a case of "the eldest brother shouldn't laugh at the second brother," and neither of them got away with it!
Moreover, Kui Xiao put in so much effort and even lost one of his sons, but in the end, Liu Xiu still managed to pacify Longxi. So Lin Ke felt that it would be better to follow Liu Xiu!
Unfortunately, he didn't have a god's-eye view and didn't know that his opponent was the future ruler of the world!

The live broadcast continues.
"The Han army is advancing with unstoppable momentum. I don't know if the Wei family is anxious, but Gongsun Shu is quite anxious. After all, with the Wei family blocking their way, Liu Xiu is temporarily not attacking them."
"Therefore, Gongsun Shu, who had occupied Shu, quickly dispatched his subordinates Zhao Kuang, Tian Yan, and others to lead a large army to rescue Wei Chun."
"However, Geng Yan, who led 20,000 troops with the aim of capturing the first city, did not have a smooth journey. Although they successfully reached the first city, it was guarded by Gao Jun, a general under Wei Xiao."
"His abilities are remarkable. He led 10,000 troops to defend the First City. In particular, Gongsun Shu sent people to harass and support them, so Geng Yan besieged the First City for a year but failed to capture this high ground."
A scion of a prominent family in the Song Dynasty: The Longshan highlands are indeed difficult to conquer!
A farming expert from the Ming Dynasty: This has been going on for another year, making it more than four years in total.
A Han Dynasty official: This is taking far too long.
A spoiled young man from the Tang Dynasty: Geng Yan is quite capable. He has been besieging this place for a year and still hasn't taken it. I know this place is really hard to conquer!
……
"But in July and August of 34 AD, things took a turn for the better. Generals such as Lai Xi and Feng Yi broke through the encirclement of the Shu army and launched a counterattack on Tianshui, defeating Shu generals Zhao Kuang and Tian Yan."
"This group of people pushed the battle line all the way to Luomen. The Wei clan's fate was sealed. But just when victory was in sight, General Feng Yi died of illness in the army."
"General Feng Yi, despite his advanced age, was still at the forefront, fighting for several years. Like Ji Zun, although he participated in the pacification of Longxi, he did not live to see Liu Xiu unify the country."
"He was one of the earliest followers of Liu Xiu, especially because of his influence in the army. So when Liu Xiu learned of his death, he immediately set off for the front lines to stabilize the morale of the troops."
A soldier from the Song Dynasty: General Big Tree!
A scion of a prominent family in the Ming Dynasty: These veteran generals are all very fierce; many of them fell ill from overwork on the front lines.
A spoiled young man from the Tang Dynasty: Kui Xiao's generals are quite strong too!
……
People from other timelines also felt quite sad upon hearing this; the old general died on the battlefield, ultimately leaving a lasting mark on history!
But these veterans truly devoted themselves to the Han Dynasty, even unto death!
……
Back to the live broadcast room.
"We're talking about the first city of Gaoping. The general who defends it is Gao Jun, and his strategist is Huangfu Wen. With the cooperation of these two, Geng Yan couldn't budge it an inch."
"But it's understandable. After all, Geng Yan only brought 20,000 men, while Gao Jun has 10,000 elite troops guarding the city. If Gao Jun stays in the city and refuses to come out, Geng Yan's small force won't be able to take it by force."
"Therefore, Liu Xiu sent Kou Xun to the First City to persuade Gao Jun to surrender. This Kou Xun had been helping Liu Xiu guard Hanoi and govern the region for many years."
"For example, arrows, horse feed, and various supplies needed by the army. In short, Kou Xun was a highly capable person, which is why he was sent to persuade them to surrender."
Liu Xiu, the Chosen One of the Great Han Dynasty: My Good Minister! (?¤?????¤??????)?
