"Lord, we don't have to attack the city. Let's wait for about an hour and three quarters. When the time comes, Dongyang City will be destroyed without attack." Zhuge Liang fanned the feather fan in his hand, with a mysterious smile on his face.
"Oh? You kid, did you instigate a certain wealthy family in the city to rebel? When the time comes, will you open the city gates for you and welcome our army into the city?" Ye Long raised the corners of his mouth and looked at Zhuge Liang with a mysterious expression. smile.
The smile on Zhuge Liang's face froze, and he looked at Ye Long in disbelief, wondering if his lord was a ghost? He has a clever plan and predicts things like a god. He can think of and guess everything.
I did it so secretly because I wanted to give Ye Long an unexpected surprise. Unexpectedly, the lord had already guessed it.
Hey, I'm doing something wrong in front of a great god.
The future Human Emperor is really not an easy person. No matter what, I will hug his thigh and accompany him to fight on the battlefield and conquer the world, so that the Zhuge family can rise to several levels.
"My lord, you are truly a god, Liang, I am convinced." Zhuge Liang clasped his fists and said sincerely.
"Don't boast, it's just a small operation, not worth mentioning, and it's not a big deal." Ye Long said with a smile.
Although he said it was not a big deal, he was angry in his heart. There are probably not many people in the world who can convince Zhuge Liang.
As for how Ye Long guessed it, it's not very simple. His army has already arrived at the city, but Zhuge Liang asked him to wait until Chou, so he must be waiting for something.
He also said that Dongyang City would be destroyed without an attack. Doesn't that mean that the city would be destroyed by itself? Ye Long really couldn't think of anything other than someone opening the city gate.
Zhuge Liang has actually reached an agreement with the clans in the city.
Seeing Ye Long's humble attitude, Zhuge Liang, Bai Changyun and others all twitched their eyes.
In Zhuge Liang's view, few people can think of ways to rebel against the wealthy families in the city... Even if they can think of it, most of them are useless efforts.
Because the wealthy clans have strong financial resources and profound cultural heritage, they are the friends of all princes.
No matter who breaks the city and is in charge, they don’t dare to attack the local clan giants, so those clan giants act like dead pigs and are not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. Anyway, even if you break the city gate and capture the city, you won’t be able to attack it. Dare to do anything to me, so they rarely cooperate with any princes or kings.
He also holds his own property very tightly.
Zhuge Liang put a lot of effort into this counter-plan, and he spent a lot of words and ink on it.
In Ye Long's eyes, it was a trivial matter and not worth mentioning.
Zhuge Liang felt that he had done this in vain.
In fact, Zhuge Liang didn't really put in much effort to instigate the rebellion of the wealthy families in the city, but it seemed to him that he had put in a lot of effort.
As for why the wealthy families in the city agreed to cooperate with Zhuge Liang and open the city gate when they were ugly, Ye Long naturally knew it.
Those clan giants are afraid of him!
Because he didn't care about those clan giants at all. He was born in the Yellow Turban Army and was a common man. In the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, he was a real grassroots rise. He relied on his own wisdom to slowly reach this point.
He is a grassroots person, and he doesn't want to see the wealthy clans. How can those wealthy clans not be afraid?
Just ask the wealthy clans in Hanoi County if they are afraid?
When Ye Long asked Chang Feng to forcefully demand soldiers, horses, money and food from the wealthy clans in Hanoi County, those clans were all frightened by the news and obediently handed over the food and private soldiers.
Because Ye Long gave Chang Feng a death order!
That is, those who dare to resist will be killed without mercy, and their entire clan will be exterminated directly.
If you kill one chicken and the monkeys are disobedient, then kill two. If that doesn't work, then kill a small group. Then the remaining large group will be obedient.
Ye Long is not afraid of the wealthy clans resisting, and in the worst case, they will all be destroyed. Then he supports his cronies and becomes a new prominent clan.
What he was afraid of was that these wealthy clans would be too obedient, and then they would unite and submit to him. If he wanted to touch these wealthy clans, he would have no excuses.
Soon, the ugly time had arrived. Zhuge Liang ordered his people to light three torches, and then shook them a few times. Then he saw three torches lighting up on the Dongyang City Gate.
Then the rumble of the city gate was heard.
"Lord, the city gate is now open and we can enter the city." Zhuge Liang grinned.
"No matter what, this time I will count you as a great contributor." Ye Long patted Zhuge Liang on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Enter the city!" Ye Long rode the big black horse, leading the majestic horse, and drove towards Dongyang City.
The two thousand dragon cavalry battalion behind him followed closely, and the six guards also stayed at Ye Long's side.
Although Dongyang City opened its doors and surrendered, what if this was a trap? Then Ye Long's life will be threatened.
Zhuge Liang couldn't help but laugh. It was my great contribution to make such a fuss. Isn't it really my great contribution?
Immediately, Zhuge Liang led an army of 100,000 people towards Dongyang City in a mighty and majestic manner.
"Jia Xu respectfully welcomes Grand Administrator Ye and settles in Dongyang City."
"The Lin family sincerely welcomes Governor Ye to settle in Dongyang City..."
As soon as Ye Long rode his horse to the gate of Dongyang City, he saw a group of people in gorgeous clothes kneeling to the ground and shouting.
That respectful look and demeanor was like meeting the emperor, even more respectful than meeting the emperor.
This sudden scene shocked the 100,000-strong army.
Most of them come from poor families, and some are from grassroots backgrounds. These wealthy clans are the existences they look up to.
They were often oppressed and deceived by these wealthy families, but now they saw this group of people kneeling down in front of their lord like chickens, rubble, and dogs.
They felt that following Ye Long was worth it!
Just this one move made them feel that following Ye Long was the right thing to do in this life.
They are proud and proud!
And Zhuge Liang blinked, a little unbelievable. It was no longer unbelievable, but shocked, and there was a storm in his heart.
He obviously just contacted Jia Xu's family.
Why were so many people opening the door to welcome him into the city...
There are at least a dozen wealthy clans here, right?
I'm afraid there aren't that many big clans in the entire Dongyang City, right?
This is from Lincheng...he must have come here to seek refuge.
Zhuge Liang was a little confused, very confused.
I must have done a lot of credit for this! Invincible!
If it was just the Jia family who wanted to take refuge, they would have to find ways to appease other wealthy clans when they entered the city.
But now, there is no need, not at all.
These clans look like they want to kneel down and lick their lord.
Ye Long was also a little stunned. Even if they knew about his thunderous methods in Hanoi County, they were afraid that they would issue a killing order to those who disobeyed.
But it’s not like this.
Like this, it's just kneeling and licking, it's too violent.
Ye Long himself was scared.
But Ye Long is also a person who has experienced a lot of things in the world. Even if he is shocked, he can still help him generously!
Ye Long rode his horse and circled around and around in front of the patriarchs of the wealthy clans. He did not speak and was just looking at the patriarchs of the wealthy clans.
The patriarchs of the wealthy clans did not dare to raise their heads at this time and were trembling.
It's not that Ye Long's momentum is too strong.
It was the killing aura of the two thousand cavalry and the one hundred thousand army that made them tremble.
An army of 100,000 people, not to mention attacking, just standing there, the iron-blooded aura is scary.
But they were also very afraid of Ye Long.
Just Ye Long's order to massacre the powerful clans made them frightened.
Why are clan giants called clan giants? It's because they are too wealthy. All clan giants are related to each other.
They have all heard of Ye Long's iron-blooded tactics in Hanoi County.
So they are afraid.
While scared, there was also awe, excitement, or expectations for Ye Long.
Ye Zixing, a yellow turban thief who suddenly emerged, became a feudal prince in just half a year.
Its military strength is even larger than that of the Yuan family.
Although he only occupied four counties.
But these four counties are all the most important, and they are all battlegrounds for military strategists.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are more than enough to guard these four counties, and these four counties are connected end to end, making it difficult for people to attack, but they can't get the point.
He simply didn’t know where to attack Zixing.
And when the leaves are blooming, you can go north, take things east, go west, or go south.
All the local defenders and local officials bordering these four counties were terrified, fearing that Ye Long would attack and invade them.
Fortunately, the imperial court compromised. In the battle at Yelong Rainstorm Canyon, he lured the snake out of its cave with one move, and directly wiped out Bu Ji's 80,000-strong army in Fengqiu Canyon.
The court compromised!
The imperial court knew that he could not arrange Yizixing and could not suppress him at all, so he chose to compromise and appointed Yixing as the prefect of Hanoi in the form of Zhao'an.
The imperial court actually appointed a rebel thief as the local governor. This is really the most outrageous thing in the world.
But now the court controlled by Dong Zhuo has compromised!
The court's compromise meant that it recognized Ye Long's status as a prince and only awarded him a reward.
Therefore, under the leadership of the imperial court, Yanzhou officials and wealthy families were all afraid.
Because Zhi Xing's next target is the entire Yanzhou, anyone who is not a fool can see Zhi Xing's ambition.
But the court was beyond its reach and could not help, so they could only save themselves.
Even Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, gave up Changyi and ran to Dongping Kingdom, where he shrank, let alone them.
Ever since, they had planned to surrender.
No, Zhuge Liang's thoughts came to him.
Ever since, the Jia family was the first to choose to surrender.
Originally, other clans did not know about the Jia family's surrender. They were still hesitating whether to surrender directly to the city.
As a result, news of clan surrender spread in Dongyang City.
At this time, the wealthy clans in Dongyang City exploded. The families thought that some people had already surrendered, so everyone should surrender.
All the clans discussed it and then all surrendered.
As for the news of the surrender of the clans in Dongyang City, someone naturally knows who released it.
"Who is the leader among you?" Ye Long suddenly stopped, then turned over and dismounted, looking at the heads of this group of wealthy clans.
Ye Long finally spoke, and the heads of these wealthy clans finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As for what Ye Long meant by "toutou", they didn't know.
Seeing that the clan leaders were silent, Ye Long smiled dumbly and touched his nose in embarrassment, thinking that these people probably didn't know what the leader meant.
"Everyone, get up. Whoever is in charge should come forward." Ye Long said calmly.
"I am a representative. I represent all the clans in Dongyang City and have taken refuge with Grand Administrator Ye." Jia Xu stood up tremblingly, and then bowed deeply to Ye Long.
"Jia Xu, right? What's the situation in the city now?" Ye Long looked at Jia Xu.
He was about sixty years old and seemed to be in good spirits, but Jia Xu gave Ye Long the impression of being an old and cunning person.
"The city is very safe. The prefect can move in directly, and I have prepared a banquet for the prefect. Please ask the prefect to move to Jia's mansion." Jia Xu lowered his head and said in a trembling voice.
To be honest, he had never been so frightened when facing the emperor.
But facing these 100,000 troops...
When 100,000 Predator warriors appeared in front of him, he almost peed in fear.
As long as Ye Zixing gives an order, this Dongyang City will be razed to the ground in an instant!
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Just five thousand guardsmen in Dongyang City, what can they do to resist others?
Not to mention Zhi Xing’s night attack!
"There are at least five thousand defenders in Dongyang City. When you open the city to surrender, don't the generals of the defenders offer any resistance?" Ye Long asked again.
People like Jia Xu open the city gates openly and openly. Are the defenders of Dongyang City all fools?
"If we go back to the prefect, the heads of the garrison generals are here, and the five thousand garrison troops have surrendered!" Jia Xu said, and then winked at the person behind him.
The man looked to be in his thirties and should be Jia Xu's son.
I saw him taking out a bloody package and offering it with both hands.
Bai Changyun took the package and opened it. There was obviously a bloody human head in the package.
Bai Changyun nodded to Ye Long.
"Very good. This garrison general is from the Yuan family. If you kill the Yuan family, you will be the enemy of the Yuan family in the future." Ye Long nodded with satisfaction.
The Yuan family is the most vengeful, and they will retaliate for every little thing. If Jia Xu dares to kill Yuan's people, it means that he really wants to take refuge with him, because once the Yuan family's defenders are killed, the Dongyang City's These clan chiefs have a deadly feud with the Yuan family.
"Prefect Ye, our intentions can be seen from the sun and the moon. We sincerely want to join the prefect." Jia Xu knelt down and said tremblingly.
Ye Long seemed to be praising them, but in fact he was hinting to them that if they had second thoughts, he would strike with thunder.
It was also telling them that if their clan wanted to survive now, they could only rely on him.
"I believe you. I won't enter this city. When I take over Jiyin County, we will have a good time drinking and talking." Ye Long nodded and said with a smile.
Jia Xu and others were stunned. Since they already believed us, why not go into the city?
Obviously I still don’t believe it!
But Jia Xu didn't dare to say anything to persuade him to stay.
People from other clans did not dare to speak when they saw that Jia Xu was silent.
"Leave 10,000 people to garrison Dongyang City. The others will continue to move forward and rush to the outside of Changyi City before dawn! I will capture Changyi within ten days!" Ye Long took a deep breath and shouted. The sword was unsheathed and pointed straight at the sky.
"Here! Take Changyi! Take Changyi!"
One hundred thousand soldiers drew their sabers and shouted in unison.
The iron-blooded aura rushed towards the face, shocking people's spirits.
This thunderous roar made all the clans in Dongyang City tremble and tremble with fear.
They had seen armies, but they had never seen such a majestic and murderous army.
"Let's go." Ye Long raised his arms and shouted, then drove his horse away.
It's not that he hasn't thought about entering the city, but he doesn't want to waste time. He just wants to advance quickly and capture Changyi, the seat of Jiyin County.
Taking Changyi of Jiyin County is equivalent to taking Jiyin County. Then he is a sharp blade, inserted directly into Liu Dai's heart. Without reinforcements, Liu Dai can only wait for death!
There were horseshoes and the soldiers wore combat boots, so the marching speed was naturally extremely fast.
The 90,000-strong army was like a long snake, heading straight towards Changyi.
Every county and town they passed did not make any struggle. Facing Ye Long's 90,000 troops, they surrendered one after another.
Ye Long pushed past him all the way.
Every time he passed a place, he left a thousand defenders behind and then recruited the local defenders.
Before dawn, Ye Long had already led his army to the outside of Changyi City.
Ten miles away from Changyi City, the entire army was stationed.
He attacked Jiyin County and brought 100,000 troops.
Along the way, many places were recovered, leaving a large number of defenders behind, and naturally many were recruited.
Not only did his army of 100,000 not decrease, but its strength increased by 10,000.
By the time they arrived outside Changyi City, their strength had reached 110,000.
Ye Long was stationed ten miles outside Changyi City, with his back to the river, and was not afraid of being attacked from behind.
There is a plain ahead, with a wide field of vision that can be seen across at a glance.
However, the plain at this time was already filled with snow.
The whole earth seemed to be covered with silver.
There were 50,000 defenders left in front of Ye Long, and 20,000 troops were stationed at each of the other three city gates.
Prevent people in Changyi City from escaping.
Ye Long just surrounded and refused to attack, and actually set up a big pot in the military camp, and all the soldiers gathered together and ate hot pot.
The smell of meat wafted into Changyi City ten miles away.
At this time, the Changyi city guard was worried, but more angry.
He is Yuan Xu.
A member of the Yuan family is also the governor of Jiyin County.
Yuan Xu's position as prefect was appointed by Yuan Huai to the imperial court.
At first, Liu Dai's army of 100,000 was wiped out by Pang Zhu and Sima Yi. Later, there were 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the Yuan family played an important role.
Yuan Xu himself contributed 10,000 troops.
But Liu Dai abandoned Changyi and retreated directly from Yecheng, Wei County to Dongping State, and then retreated. Yuan Xu's 10,000 troops obviously could not come back.
At this time, there were only 20,000 soldiers and horses left in Changyi.
Yuan Xu woke up and before he had time to wash up, he got the news that Changyi City was besieged!
Upon hearing the news, Yuan Xu was stunned.
What's happening here?
Where did the army that besieged Changyi come from?
Why didn't he get any news?
Without thinking, he knew that the army besieging Changyi was Yizixing!
The key question is, why did Zixing suddenly appear outside Changyi City?
And also opened up an army of 100,000 people!
He couldn't figure it out. After some investigation, he found out that Dongyang surrendered...
The city gates were opened wide to welcome Ye Zixing into the city.
Without consuming a single soldier, Zixing bypassed Dongyang and attacked Changyi directly.
Hearing the news, Yuan Xu almost vomited blood, he was angry!
Yuan Xu put on his clothes and rushed to the city gate tower without stopping.
Looking at the densely packed army stationed on the snowy land, Yuan Xu's scalp felt numb.
This is an army of 110,000 people.
Four city gates directly surrounded him.
The number of troops guarding outside each city gate is no less than his own garrison.
No matter which city gate he breaks through, he will be stopped by Ye Long's army, and then supported by soldiers and horses from other city gates, he will be doomed.
Yuan Xu was thinking about how to escape, but Ye Long was eating hot pot leisurely and contentedly, and the aroma had already drifted into Changyi City.
Smelling the fragrance, Yuan Xu was so angry that he trembled all over.
"Open the city gate and follow me to rush out!" Yuan Xu said with clenched fists.
"You can't do it, Governor, we don't have horseshoes... the horses can't charge in the snow, and our soldiers have never fought in the snow... I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties if we charge out!" Yuan Xu's confidant said eagerly .
He was really afraid that Yuan Xu would just lead his troops and rush out, which would just cost him his life.
When the time comes, he will have to rush out too, and his life will be at risk.
"Yes, it seems that Zixing's army is leisurely and contented. Who knows if they will be ambushed. If they are ambushed, Changyi will be completely ruined." Another confidant also said.
"Then what should we do now? Are we going to be surrounded by Zixing? Let him show off his power in front of me?" Xuannv said through gritted teeth.
How could he have thought that Zhi Xing, a fool, would come to attack Jiyin County in the middle of winter and snowy days, and let him sneak to Changyi and surround Changyi...
No one would have thought of it, let alone him.
On a snowy, icy day, wouldn't it be nice to stay at home and warm your bed?
No one gave him the answer, but Ye Long did just that.
This is called catching someone unawares and attacking them unprepared.
The most important thing is that Ye Long finished playing horseshoes, combat boots, and combat gloves!
This is something that other armies don't have.
There is a natural advantage, so why not attack?
"Prefect, now we can only wait for reinforcements. If the family master gets the news, they will definitely send troops to support us." The guard said to himself to comfort himself.
Yuan Xu sighed deeply.
Everyone knew that reinforcements were unlikely to appear, and not to mention whether the news could be conveyed, I was afraid that if anyone left the city, they would be captured by Zixing.
Even if you can go out, how can you deliver the message?
It was freezing and snowy, and the temperature was minus one to twenty degrees! I'm afraid the scouts' news hasn't reached Jizhou yet, and the scouts will freeze to death on the way!
This is their natural disadvantage.
And Ye Longjun was wearing a combat vest, which was made of cotton.
Although it cannot achieve the same heating effect as in the current world, it is much better than the cotton-padded clothes of the Three Kingdoms in the Troubled Times, and it is not so heavy.
Even if the scout didn't freeze to death, the day lily was cold when the news reached Jizhou.
The closest place to Jizhou is hundreds of miles away from Changyi, and with the ice and snow, it will take ten days and a half to rush to Jizhou. When reinforcements arrive, it will take another month...
To be honest, when the reinforcements came, the defenders of Changyi were not killed by Zixing, but starved to death.
One day later, Ye Long, accompanied by Bai Changyun, arrived at Changyi City with half a cigar in his mouth.
"Yuan Xu, why don't you open the city gate and come down to talk?" Ye Long said casually, with an evil look on his face.
"Are you that Yizixing who is known as a ghost?" Yuan Xu, who was taking a nap on the city gate tower, suddenly shuddered and lay on the city wall, looking down from a distance and looking at Ye Long with a proud look on his face.
"Yes, if I'm right, the person you are talking about is me." Ye Long nodded, the smile on his face getting wider.
"The genius Zizixing is indeed a genius. You are so idle that it hurts! What kind of war should we fight in the winter? Can we fight?" Yuan Xu's eyes widened and he roared at Ye Long.
"Hey, I'm not fighting. What kind of war are you fighting? Did you see me attacking the city?" Ye Long smiled and said shamelessly.
"If there is no war, you will withdraw your troops. What do you want to do if you block my door like this!?" Yuan Xu shouted coldly.
"If I block you, I will naturally kill you!" Ye Long shrugged and said nonchalantly.
"Ye Long, if you want Changyi City, I'll give it to you! I'll give up Changyi and you lead the troops to settle in. How about letting us go?" Yuan Xu thought for a while and said.
This was the best solution he came up with after not sleeping all night.
Defending the city does not exist at all. As long as Zixing attacks the city, he will not be able to defend it, let alone break through.
Without horseshoes, he couldn't charge out at all. Even if he had horseshoes, he only had a thousand cavalry... Even with these one thousand cavalry, he couldn't charge out.
It’s impossible to defend the city, and it’s impossible to break out of the siege.
Then we can only offer Changyi and open the door to surrender.
But what he called surrender was not really surrender, it was just a deal with Ye Long.
Give up Changyi to Zixing and save him and his 20,000 troops.
The two sides also avoided a major war, and there was no need to cause innocent casualties.
"You members of the Yuan family all think you are smart, right? Why should I make this deal with you?" Ye Long asked in a deep voice.
Yuan Xu simply regarded him as a fool.
Now that Changyi City is already in his pocket, why should Yuan Xu make a deal with him and safely withdraw from Jiyin County without spending a single soldier? is it possible?
Is it just because his surname is Yuan?
Do you think you are superior to others?
The one Ye Long destroyed was the Yuan family!
"Yizixing, all you want is Changyi and Yanzhou. Why are you enmity with my Yuan family?" Yuan Xu took a deep breath and asked coldly.
He wanted to threaten Ye Long with Yuan's family.
after all
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, Jizhou and Qingzhou are completely in the hands of the Yuan family. Half of the territory of Youzhou is also controlled by the Yuan family. One-fifth of the local officials in the Liu Han Dynasty are his Yuan family's people. He believes that As long as you are a smart person, you will not be an enemy of the Yuan family.
But he thought wrongly. Ye Longtian was not afraid of anything. Cao Cao was destroyed by him in advance. He was still afraid of Yuan Huai, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao?
In his eyes, they are just a bunch of idiots.
No one is his opponent.
In the Later Qing Dynasty, he was unwilling to use troops but attacked the Later Qing Dynasty. He wanted to take advantage of it slowly and control the Later Qing Dynasty in his hands.
Because he didn't want the people to suffer, he fought for years, and it was the people who suffered in the end.
And he had a lot of time, so that as Qianlong, he could slowly replace the Qing court and the army with his people.
But here, no.
The people were already in dire straits, the Han Dynasty was in danger, and it was difficult for the Han Dynasty to prosper. Even if he pretended to be Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty... he could not save the Han Dynasty.
And Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was too young, so he couldn't pretend.
What he can do is to destroy all the princes and forces in the shortest possible time and create a new empire.
Cao Cao is dead, Sima Yi has returned, and Yuan is the only huge stone standing in front of him.
As for Sun Quan, Sun Ce... are still young and are not within the scope of his consideration, but Sun Ce has to guard against the Jiangdong tiger!
"Enmity with the Yuan family? You Yuan family and Lu Zhikeng killed my Daqushuai's 100,000 troops, and when you and Liu Dai Heli besieged Puyang City, why did you only have an enemy with me, Ye Zixing? Daqushuai died in the hands of the Yuan family. Yes, I, Zhi Xing, have remembered it! Yuan Xu, let me tell you, I am here just for you today!" Ye Long said with a sneer.
Then he took a large trumpet from the horse's back.
"Listen, guardsmen in Changyi City, I, Zixing, only give you five days. After five days, you will be without food and water! You will starve to death by then, but if you can bring Yuan Xu's head to me! Not only will you be promoted and make a fortune, but you will also become a general and a marquis in the future! In five days, whether you will starve to death with Yuan Xu or bring his head to me, you decide what I want to say. It’s up to you to say goodbye.”
Ye Long's voice, which had increased several times in decibels, reached Changyi City.
Even the people in the city heard Ye Long's voice.
When the people heard what Ye Long said, their hearts trembled.
Ruined!
Changyi City was besieged... and the defenders only had enough food to last for five days. After five days, these defenders would have no food to eat. They were forced to have no choice but to rob the people of their food.
"Oh, by the way, I'm warning you, if you have no food to eat and go to rob the people's food, when I, Ye Zixing, attack the city, I will cut their five horses into pieces and die badly. If you are hungry and want to rob, just rob those clansmen. Food for rich families." Ye Long suddenly stopped again and shouted at the top of his lungs.
At this time, the people in the city were really grateful, and the children of those wealthy families also had a great impression of Ye Long.
Only those wealthy clans scolded Ye Long in their hearts!
The family properties of the wealthy clans are all in Changyi. They will not sell their property and leave their hometown unless they have to.
In other words, after five days, or even ten days later, these hungry and crazy imperial guards will snatch the food from their homes, and they will snatch it accurately.
If you don't want to be robbed of food, you can either pick up a sword and resist, or directly offer food.
This Ye Zixing is forcing the wealthy clans in Changyi to make a choice!
What the hell, he didn't even need to use any troops, he could plunge Changyi City into civil war with just his mouth.
The civil war between the clan giants and the imperial guards!
This Ye Zixing is really a genius, really poisonous.
Especially the threat to those who oppressed the people... This made the people in Changyi City have a much better impression of Ye Long.
It is said that those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world. If you win the hearts and minds of the people in Changyi City, you will win the city of Changyi.
Originally, he was an executioner who attacked Changyi and started a war... Now he turned into a good person with his mouth and a few words.
What nonsense.
These clan giants are not fools. At this juncture, Changyi is under siege and there will definitely be no reinforcements.
Zixing doesn't need to launch an attack at all, just besiege the city. When the people in the city are deprived of water and food... the consequences can be imagined.
The wealthy clan hates Ye Long, and Yuan Xu hates Ye Long even more.
He never expected that Ye Long was not afraid of his threat and wanted his head. Was he really not afraid of the Yuan family?
The Yuan family also has hundreds of thousands of troops!
If you add in the garrison troops that cannot be mobilized, it is possible that there are millions, which is more soldiers and horses than the imperial court can mobilize.
Ye Long wasn't afraid of such a huge creature?
Yuan Xu is really at his wits end now.
Ye Long's words made it clear that he wanted his soldiers and horses to rob the rich clan's food when they were extremely hungry.
Is it possible for a wealthy clan to offer food with both hands?
That is simply impossible. Let alone being besieged by Ye Long now, even in normal times, these clan giants are not willing to give out any food...
Now Changyi is besieged by Ye Long. Knowing that there are no reinforcements, these clan giants will only think about protecting themselves and eating their own food...how can they give it to the defenders?
If the clan giants don't provide food, the defenders will rob it... Then there will be conflicts, and Changyi will be in chaos.
Even after being starved to the point of fainting, the defenders could not grab any food. In order to survive, it was really possible to cut off his head and offer it to Ye Long.
Yuan Xu took a deep breath and felt that Ye Long was really vicious!
Such an obvious alienation plot...he couldn't break it.
He thought about digging a tunnel to escape, but now in the ice and snow, the temperature is so low... The ground is hard, and it is unrealistic to dig a tunnel. People will starve to death before digging out.
What Yuan Xu has to do now is to sit back and wait for death.
…
"My lord, this plan is beyond Liang's imagination!" Returning to the commander's tent, Zhuge Liang praised Ye Long unreservedly.
He could think of siege but not attack, and wait until Yuan Xu had cut off water and food before attacking the city. Changyi would be defeated by then, but he was not as careful as Ye Long.
He had obviously forgotten that there were many people and clans in the city. If the people's food was forcibly taken away by Yuan Xu, they would be able to hold on for at least ten days.
If the wealthy clans donated food... it is estimated that the defenders in Changyi City would be able to eat for half a year!
This was something he didn't expect.
Because he didn't think about that at all. What he wanted was to wait for three days when the Changyi defenders ran out of food, and then launch an attack.
It would be very easy for a hundred thousand troops to attack the city of Changyi with only 20,000 defenders, and the defenders were so hungry that they had no strength.
After all, Yuan Xu would not exploit the people, let alone make enemies of the wealthy clans, unless it was absolutely necessary and he was really about to starve to death.
"Do you know why I want the clan to conflict with the Yuan clan?" Ye Long asked with a smile.
"The disciples of the Yuan family are spread all over the world, and their reputation is very high. Many scribes in the world are on good terms with the Yuan family. If Yuan Xu does not handle it well this time, and encounters the clan swordsmen in Changyi City, it will affect the status of the disciples of the Yuan family. There was a lot of decline in the Liu Han Dynasty. Especially many clans were prosperous and suffered losses. If the Yuan clan is an enemy of the Changyi clan, it is an enemy of the clans in the world." Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said.
"Yes! The fourth and third prince of the Yuan family is famous all over the world. Unlike me, he is a thief! I dare to touch the rich clans in the world, and I am not afraid of the rich clans in the world, but the Yuan family is afraid, because many of his supporters are from these people Clan." Ye Long nodded and said.
"If Yuan Xu is smart, he can reach an agreement with those clans and let them provide food, so that Yuan Xu can persist in Changyi for a long time." Zhuge Liang said with a frown.
Obviously, there are still some loopholes in the strategy of siege but not attack. It would not be as effective as directly attacking Changyi.
Although it will lose troops and horses, its effect is the most obvious, and Changyi may be captured within ten days.
But Ye Long chose to besiege rather than attack, and gave the city defenders five days, which made Zhuge Liang a little confused.
If the clan really cooperated with Yuan Xu and provided him with food, wouldn't these five days of siege be a waste of time?
And they don't have much food and grass, so they can only last for half a month at most.
"Kong Ming, I will make it clear to you today. The Han Dynasty fell at the hands of these clans! Although your Zhuge family is not a Wangmen, it is also a wealthy clan. I know you may not be able to accept these words. But you still have to say it. The clan has too much power. Even the court dare not go against it when they unite. This is not what I want! So I have always wanted to attack the clan. After five days, if there is no movement in the city, then I A hundred thousand troops will attack the city directly, and no clans in the city will be left alive, leaving no one alive! I gave them a choice, but their choice was wrong and gave me an excuse to destroy them!" Ye Long looked at Looking at Zhuge Liang, he said in a deep voice.
Zhuge Liang took a deep breath after hearing Ye Long's words, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
He didn't expect... Ye Long's real purpose was not Yuan Xu! Instead, he used Yuan Xu's help to destroy the wealthy clans in Changyi City!
Without what Ye Long said outside the city, the defenders in the city could have persisted for three to five days even if they had no food or water...
But Ye Long's five-day deadline was to let them make a decision within five days, which put great psychological pressure on the defenders in the city and the clan!
Five days later, either Yuan Xu was killed, or the clan fought with Yuan Xu, or... there was no movement in the city.
There was no movement, which meant that the clan giants chose to provide food to Yuan Xu... If the clan giants in the city chose Yuan Xu... Ye Long's army of 100,000 broke into the city, and their fate was self-evident.
Vicious, cruel! What a trick!
Five days later, no matter what the situation was in Changyi City, Ye Long was the biggest winner.
No wonder... Ye Long rushed to Changyi overnight and didn't even enter Dongyang City.
Its purpose is to cut off the connection between the wealthy Dongyang clan and the wealthy clan in Changyi... and let the wealthy clans in Changyi make their own decisions.
What Ye Long wants most is that they provide food for Yuan Xu. Ye Long, who wanted to attack the clan, found an excuse and a reason.
I gave you a chance, but if you seek death on your own, it can only be blamed on your ignorance...
Even if Ye Long destroyed these wealthy clans in Changyi, all the wealthy clans in the world would not be able to say anything.
When Ye Long attacks the next city, those clan giants will have to think carefully about whether they should help Ye Long secretly or help his enemies... If they fail, they will be exterminated!
"If the wealthy clans are not given a shock, they really think that as long as they unite, no one will dare to touch them. They are wrong! The most indispensable thing in this world is wealthy families! Without these wealthy families, I will support the children of poor families by myself, so that He makes a new wealthy family!"
Ye Long looked at Zhuge Liang and said.
"Support the children of poor families...become a new wealthy family..." Zhuge Liang murmured to himself.
"Liang, I will follow my lord for the rest of my life, and I will do my best until death!" Zhuge Liang knelt on his knees and gave Ye Long a big salute.
Ye Long made it very clear. He said that he was supporting the children of poor families, but in fact, he was supporting his own cronies.
He targeted the former clan giants because he didn't believe in them. He only believed in the people he had cultivated from the roots!
Therefore, Zhuge Liang stated that he had to show his statement. It was not only his statement. He also had to let his brothers, Zhuge Jin, and Zhuge all worshiped under Ye Long's account to show loyalty.
"A good bow, after death. I promise that even if the national clan is shuffled, the Zhuge clan will have a place in the door in the future." Ye Long looked at Zhuge Liang and said with a smile.
"Thank you Lord!" Zhuge Liang said excitedly.
