Time flies and five days have passed.
Outside Changyi City, Ye Long was wearing battle armor and looking majestic.
Beside him were Zhuge Liang, the chief military advisor, and Bai Changyun, the commander of the third battalion of the Dragon Cavalry Battalion.
Behind him was an army of 110,000 including two thousand cavalry from the Dragon Cavalry Battalion.
Ye Long's army is ready at this time? Just waiting for news from Changyi City.
As long as there is the slightest movement from Changyi, the siege of the city will be concluded.
If no news comes out of Changyi City at midnight tonight, then at midnight, Ye Long's army will attack the city.
"Kong Ming, tell me what choices the clans, people, and defenders in the city will make in the end." Ye Long stared at Changyi City and said leisurely.
Although the wind was biting and the snow was falling, his body was cold, but his heart was hot.
Because taking Changyi is equivalent to taking Jiyin County.
The three important counties of Yanzhou are in his own hands. As long as he waits until spring and the food, grass, troops and horses are ready, he can take advantage of the situation to take over the entire Yanzhou!
With Yanzhou and Hanoi, he has occupied a battleground between the two military strategists and has gained absolute initiative.
It can be considered that the Liu Han Dynasty has completely established a firm foothold.
"Lord, no matter how they choose, Changyi is already within their grasp. Their choice will not affect the overall situation, but will only affect the casualties of our army." Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment before speaking.
"If the clan and the defenders stand on a united front, this battle will be difficult to fight." Bai Changyun said in a condensed voice.
If the wealthy clans in the city stand on a united front with the defenders, then the wealthy clans will inevitably support Yuan Xu unconditionally. In terms of food, troops and horses, Yuan Xu can get a lot of supplements in a short period of time.
Even though they were fully equipped, if they wanted to capture Changyi City, they would have to pay a high price.
"Our army's food and grass are still available for ten days. The subsequent food and grass will not be supplied in a short time. Changyi cannot be captured in ten days, so we have to withdraw our troops and return." Zhuge Liang said.
This was actually his worry. If Yuan Xuhe and his clan fought against the odds and insisted on defending the city, the situation would be very worrying for them.
"Do you know what psychological tactics and tactics are?" Ye Long said mysteriously.
"My lord, it's clear." Zhuge Liang and Bai Changyun were slightly startled, and said at the same time, clasping their fists.
Ye Long raised the corners of his mouth and pointed at the large iron pot thrown next to him. "Look, in the past few days, I have asked the soldiers to set up pots and light fires, and eat hot pot. I was able to squander half of the food that could last for a month in five days. Do you know why?"
Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, but soon his eyes lit up, "The strategy of suspecting soldiers is not only about soldiers and horses, but also about food. It can also confuse the enemy. We squandered food in five days, Yuan Xu and the wealthy clan must know it. They couldn't figure out how much food and grass we had... but seeing us squandering food every day, they must have guessed that we were bound to attack Changyi. We were fully prepared. If they thought about it, our food could last until they starved to death. Yes! In other words, we can hold on until Changyi is captured."
Zhuge Liang said excitedly that he was still wondering why his lord, just stationed outside Changyi City, ordered all the soldiers to set up pots and light fires to eat hot pot, and squandered food for five consecutive days.
Because of this, Zhuge Liang also suggested that Ye Long stop this ridiculous order.
But Ye Long told him, "This hot pot is not only fragrant and delicious, but more importantly, it is spicy and can keep you warm. The soldiers eat hot pot every day. Not only are they not cold anymore, but they still have a burning feeling in their hearts. Why not do it?" .”
At that time, Zhuge Liang wanted to argue, but when he thought that the hot pot was indeed very delicious, he had eaten it many times when he was on Hainan Island and fell in love with the taste of hot pot, so he stopped arguing.
In fact, the most important thing is that he knows Ye Long's temper, and even ten cows can't bring him back what he decides.
And Ye Long asked the soldiers to eat hot pot three meals a day, which indeed achieved the effect of keeping warm, but for one point, eating hot pot has great benefits.
However, Zhuge Liang knew at that time that his lord had a deep meaning in letting the soldiers of the three armies eat hot pot, but he did not guess what Ye Long's intention was.
Now, Zhuge Liang suddenly realized after hearing the suspicious plan.
"Hahaha, do you understand my good intentions now? In the eyes of those in the city, we are fully prepared and the food we brought is enough to take Changyi, and there is a lot more, so we dare Such a waste of food to eat hot pot."
"As for psychological tactics, we have been eating hot pot every day for the past five days, and the defenders in the city are worried every day. What will they do if they run out of food in five days? Then they will think, what if I How beautiful it would be to eat hot pot outside the city... As for those clans, watching us eat well, they have good food, but they dare not take it out to eat. They are afraid of being robbed. Do you think they are aggrieved? "
Ye Long rolled his eyes and said coquettishly.
"One word, absolutely amazing!" Bai Changyun listened to Ye Long's words and gave Ye Long a thumbs up in stunned silence.
Zhuge Liang was also stunned for a while.
What does it mean to be a genius? His mental thoughts are different from what others think.
Zhuge Liang really didn't think about this.
Now listening to Ye Longyi's analysis, and thinking about it carefully, this is really the truth...
Ye Long really understands people's psychology thoroughly.
He feels like a conspirator, politician, and military strategist.
And Ye Long is a thinker who integrates conspiracy, politics, and military affairs!
To be able to fight a battle like this is unprecedented and unprecedented.
At this time, Yuan Xu and the clans in the city may have collapsed.
"You have to use your head when fighting. Only those who can defeat the enemy without fighting are good!" Ye Long said with a smile.
"My lord is wise," Zhuge Liang said in admiration. But I was thinking in my heart that the lord fought with his brain on one side, but in fact the most important thing was relying on his mouth.
Zhuge Liang thought that Ye Long could scare off Huangfu Song's 70,000 troops in Huai County with one mouth, and that with another mouth, he could get a heavy rain all night around Fengqiu, and then lure the snake out of the cave, and wipe out Zhang Bo's army in Fengqiu Canyon.
In the end, Huangfu Song's 300,000-strong army was allowed to enter Huai County using a trick of suspicion, and then Huai County was set on fire, defeating Huangfu Song's 300,000-strong army...
Each of these battles can be called a classic battle and will be recorded in history books and passed down forever!
…
Changyi City was completely quiet at this time.
The streets were deserted and the doors of all the houses were closed.
A cold wind blew by, and garbage could be seen everywhere on the streets.
Full of depression, desolation.
As early as Ye Long issued the order, Changyi City fell into a strange state.
There are not many people on the streets every day, and all the people stay behind closed doors and hide in their homes.
Although Ye Long has issued an order, if anyone dares to exploit the people, they will be liquidated one by one when he breaks the city.
But people know that if a person is extremely hungry and has infinite psychological fear, he can do anything!
At that time, they only thought about how to fill their stomachs and did not care about what orders Ye Long gave.
The children of wealthy clans also stay at home or hide in their own fortresses.
Compared with the common people, they are more afraid. They all know that the food accumulated by wealthy clans can last for a year and a half even if there is a drought or flood. Some really wealthy and distinguished families can only eat the food at home. It hasn't been a problem in the past few years.
So they were afraid that the defenders would run out of food and attack them, so they hid in Wubao and got armed.
However, those wealthy clans would send out spies every day to wander around the city gate, wanting to see what the Ye Zixing army stationed on the ice and snow was doing.
But the news I get every time is...Zi Xing's 100,000 troops eat one kind of food four meals a day. No one knows what that food is, but it is very fragrant, and the smell of meat wafts into the city. In the door.
As a result, the heads of the wealthy clans turned pale with anger when they looked at the food on their tables.
They were afraid that if they ate well, they would be targeted by the defenders... They could only eat some bland food, without even a hint of oil and water flavor.
The leaves outside the city are in good shape, and they are eating delicious food four meals a day!
Is this what it's like to fight outside?
They all brought big iron pots and stewed vegetables at the door of the enemy's house!
It’s so frustrating.
Many wealthy clans are thinking, what is the use of following Yuan Xu and supporting Yuan Xu? He was trapped in Changyi and could not get out without saying a word. He did not dare to eat any meat at home.
Many people had great complaints against Yuan Xu, and of course they also had great complaints against Ye Long.
As for the defenders guarding Changyi, most of them were huddled on the city wall, expressionless, holding steamed buns in their hands, and their eyes were a little dull.
Especially the defenders who could smell the aroma of meat every day were about to collapse.
Dry food...only one meal left.
If you eat this meal, it will be gone tomorrow.
There were no reinforcements, no food support... They could only be trapped in Changyi and starved to death.
Many defenders are thinking, will they sacrifice their lives for the Liu Han Dynasty and the imperial court?
Because of the uprising of the Yellow Turban Army, many people were forced to join the army and left their homes, risking their lives at any time.
Let’s not talk about it for now.
Those low-level soldiers who fought for the imperial court, not to mention whether they were paid or not, sometimes did not even have enough to eat.
On the city wall, a defender stood up shakily, wrapped in a thick cotton coat.
On his shoulders, he also carried a military flag with the word "Yuan" written on it.
The defenders were lying on the city wall, looking at the Ye Zixing army that had assembled a mile outside the city, and licked their lips!
He looked at other people's military flags and then at the military flag he was carrying, his eyes filled with deep disgust.
"Damn it, I quit! I'm going to kill that bastard Yuan Xu!" The defender broke the flag in half and threw it along the city wall. Then he pulled out the long knife from his waist and was about to attack the city gate. Rush away.
"Er Heizi, stop now and stop talking nonsense!" The young general of the defender hurriedly got up from the ground and stopped the defender.
"Brother, don't stop me! If we don't kill Yuan Xu, everyone will starve to death!" The defender Er Heizi said angrily with his eyes red.
"Er Hei, don't act out of anger. If you kill Governor Yuan like this, not only will it be useless, but you will also lose your life." The young general yelled angrily.
"Bullshit Governor Yuan, who would be willing to fight if it wasn't to save his life? We were forced to join the army. Who is Yuan Xu? Who knows him! Brothers, think about your old mother at home and what is waiting for you to go back. Wife and children, are you willing to stay in Changyi City and starve to death?"
A middle-aged soldier stood up and said in a deep voice.
"I miss my mother and father. They have worked hard all their lives and been oppressed by the royal family and wealthy families all their lives. Now I have to fight for them. Why, why!" A young warrior roared with red eyes. With.
"Aren't those Yellow Turbans a peasant uprising? Look at them, they have meat to eat every day... I also heard that Zixing is very good to his soldiers. Not only can they eat well, but they can also get military pay. He is still The governor of Hanoi is also a high official in the imperial court, why don’t we kill Yuan Xu and seek refuge with Zixing!” the middle-aged soldier said in a deep voice.
"Stop talking nonsense. You are going to commit rebellion and be unfaithful and unjust! Stop talking about it. If Lei Yuan Xu hears it, I can't save you!" the city guarding general shouted in a low voice.
"What is disloyal and unjust? We are just taking refuge in Yizixing. Yuan Xu is a member of the Yuan family. On the surface, he is loyal to the court, but the Yuan family's thoughts are known to everyone in the world. They are no worse than Dong Zhuo and Zhang Rang DC. And we are taking refuge in Yizixing. Zixing, who took refuge with Governor Ye of Hanoi, did not betray the Liu Han royal family!"
Someone stood up and said calmly.
The general who defended the city looked at the young man in surprise.
The young man was about twenty years old, with a sallow face, and he seemed to have some underlying health problems.
The general who defended the city did not expect that this young man would dare to say such a thing. Ordinary people would not dare to speak ill of Yuan at will, especially on such a sensitive topic.
"Li Jin, there are some things you should not say casually." The general guarding the city deliberately reminded the young man.
"Brother, no matter what, we have no way out now. If we don't surrender, we have only two options: either stick to the city and wait until Zixing comes to attack, which will consume Zixing's food and grass. Or go out of the city and fight to the death with Zixing's army. But no matter what choice you make, That kind of... You have also seen that Ye Zixin is not short of food and grass, and he will fight to the death. He has two thousand cavalry, cavalry with horseshoes. In this world of ice and snow, just these two thousand cavalry can overwhelm the 20,000 army in the city..." Li Jin said in a deep voice.
"What exactly do you want to say?" Shoucheng said with a frown.
"Killing Yuan Xu is the only way to survive. Brother, I'm sorry, we don't want to be trapped like this and die alive." Li Jin said through gritted teeth.
"If you really choose this path, don't blame the elder brother for being ruthless." The city guarding general took a deep breath and said.
Most of the hundreds of defenders on the city wall have been with him for a long time, and some have been with him since the Yellow Turbans uprising. Now that they have to fight with each other, he is really reluctant to kill them.
…
"Kong Ming, Chang Yun, look, the fun has begun. The deadline for the fifth day has not yet come, and the defenders can't stand it anymore." Ye Long saw two groups of people at the city gate from a long distance away. He looked tense and said with a smile.
"The most frustrated ones are probably the defenders in the city. They are about to starve, and they have to guard the city gate. We may attack the city gate at any time and lose their lives. They are under great pressure. Zhuge Liang said calmly.
"Yuan Xu doesn't have great talent. He doesn't know how to appease the emotions of these defenders. We can't blame them. In this case, everyone will collapse." Bai Changyun said with deep understanding.
"Lord, why don't we take advantage of now and order an attack on the city gate? This is a great opportunity." After Bai Changyun finished speaking, he continued.
"Don't worry, we haven't reached the point of attacking the city gate yet. If we attack the city gate, there will be casualties among the soldiers. This is not what I want to see. The lives of our soldiers are valuable!" Ye Long shook his head and said.
If he could defeat the enemy without fighting, why should he attack Changyi?
It's not easy to train one of his soldiers.
Especially the Dragon Riding Battalion, they are all absolute talents selected from a million. If one of them is sacrificed, he will feel sad for a long time.
Bai Changyun showed a happy smile.
This kind of lord is worth following.
Unlike some people who rush to attack the city because their troops and horses are several times more than others, and do not consider the lives of the soldiers in their eyes, just for their own interests. Such princes, sometimes behave in a way that makes people Chilling.
Zhuge Liang also smiled and did not express his opinion.
It is true that Ye Long's soldiers are valuable, because these soldiers were trained by Ye Long with real money and money. Not only are their military pay high, but their food is also good.
Sometimes the food in the military camp is richer than what Ye Long eats himself.
This is also the reason why Ye Long was able to control hundreds of thousands of troops in just half a year, and these hundreds of thousands of troops were all convinced by Ye Long.
Increasing military pay and improving food...this is something that other armies would not even dare to think about.
If you can eat enough, you are considered extremely lucky.
Just look at this Yuan Xu and you will know.
When watching Ye Long, sticking to Huai County and facing Huangfu Song's 300,000 troops, directly attacking the clan for soldiers, horses, food and grass was something that many people would not dare to do.
"My lord, will Yuan Xu directly lead troops to suppress the clans and force them to send troops and provide food the way my lord did?" Zhuge Liang asked with a smile. Although he already had the answer in his heart, he also wanted to hear what Ye Long had in mind. ideas to see if the two of you have the same ideas.
"Of course not. Didn't I say it before? The fourth and third sons of the Yuan family are famous all over the world. They have disciples all over the country. Most of them are from wealthy clans. Yuan Xu forced the wealthy clans in Changyi. This is not a slap in his face. Even if Yuan Xu wants to do it and dares to do it, he can't do it! This Yuan family is a prominent family among the clan giants. Taking the lead in attacking the clan is not telling the world that the clan should be attacked and killed!" Ye Long sneered. , said calmly.
He calculated that Yuan Xu did not dare to force the clan, otherwise how could he give them five days to let their conflicts start from within.
The Yuan family did not dare, and the clan refused to comply, which resulted in a deadlock. The one who broke the deadlock... was the defenders!
"Haha, same thing, Liang thinks so too." Zhuge Liang laughed.
The reason why he laughed was because this time his lord finally had no other opinions and was finally the same as him. In the past, his lord always had more ideas than he did.
"You are smiling so freely, then tell me why I suggested Yuan Xu to steal the clan's food five days ago?" Ye Long blinked and looked at Zhuge Liang.
Seeing Zhuge Liang's excited look, for some reason, he just wanted to step on him.
"My lord is a lord who loves his people as his son, so he is naturally protecting the people in the city." Zhuge Liang's smile stopped suddenly, and he thought of some possibility, but he wouldn't admit it... he wouldn't admit it.
"Hey, when I was in Huai County, I ordered Chang Feng to take people to the wealthy clans to demand people. Anyone who disobeyed would be killed without mercy. That was because the clans in Hanoi County had no idea that I would force them, so they had no preparations... so Ah, of course I have to remind the clans in Changyi City! What if Yuan Xu is also a freak, even if he doesn't want the face of the Yuan family, he still wants to rob the food of those clan giants. If the clan giants are not prepared, what happened in Hanoi County, Didn't it happen to me?" Ye Long blinked his eyes and said with a smile.
"Hey!! My lord is really the number one genius in the world. When I was there, I heard about the most stunning beauty in the world and the number one beauty in the martial arts world. Now I have to add the number one genius in the world." Zhuge Liang sighed deeply. .
Bai Changyun on the side was already numb. Five days ago, Ye Long just said a few words... but he actually hid such a big mystery.
Not only his enemies were kept in the dark by him, but even his own people were also kept in the dark by him. Who would have thought of this.
This step-by-step plan forced the group of aristocratic families in Changyi City, Yuan Xu, to have only one way to go, open the door and surrender, and they had to sacrifice Yuan Xu's head.
Now even if the clan giants join forces with Yuan Xu... the result will be the same, that is, Changyi City cannot be defended.
They knew about the defenders and wealthy clans in the city, and Yuan Xu also knew about them.
In this situation of being hungry and knowing that Changyi City cannot be defended... the first to go crazy should be the defenders.
And the clan will not provide food, soldiers and horses to Yuan Xu, because even if they provide him, they can't stop the 110,000 army, let alone they think that there will be a steady stream of reinforcements behind Ye Long.
Ye Long smiled awkwardly, a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes.
The greatest genius of time... I'm afraid it's not him. It's just that the enemies he encounters now are no match for him.
The geniuses Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, Feng Chu Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi, Zhou Lang Zhou Yu... Lu Su, Lu Zijing, Lu Xun, these truly resourceful people have not yet been encountered by him!
Cheng Yu alone caused Sima Yi to suffer a big loss. What about Guo Jia, Pang Tong, Zhou Yu and others?
Not to mention the enemies in the Central Plains, the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty are also full of geniuses, especially in the future, he will have to face the all-faced lady Shuchen and Lu Xuening!
Thinking of this, an idea flashed through Ye Long's heart.
That is to establish a liberal arts college and a martial arts college!
Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, and Sun Ce are all still young at this time. Should I recruit the group of counselors and generals from Jiangdong first and let them be used by me?
But this will have to wait until Yanzhou is captured before we consider this.
…
"Shut up, everyone! It's only the fifth day now, and Zixing is still waiting. When the time comes, the prefect will give everyone an explanation, and those clan giants will also give everyone an explanation. By then, there will be food and a clan With the private soldiers of wealthy families, we can defend Changyi and wait for reinforcements."
Just when the two groups of people were at war with each other, a strong man wearing armor strode over.
This general is also a descendant of the Yuan family. Yuan Xu is the prefect of Jiyin County, and he is the general who defends the city.
"What you're talking about is nonsense! How could those wealthy clans send troops and food when they knew Changyi City couldn't be defended? They didn't open the city gates to welcome Zixing's army to enter the city, which is enough to give you face, Yuan!" Li Jin said coldly.
"Kill!" General Yuan directly issued the killing order.
He didn't dare to take action against the clan, but he could take action against his group of soldiers who wanted to rebel.
If we don't suppress them and kill all these rebel soldiers, there will be serious trouble in the future.
"Brothers, follow me to kill Yuan's group, take Yuan Xu's head, and welcome Prefect Zixingye into the city!" Li Jin said angrily when he saw that General Yuan had issued a killing order.
Then he took the lead and rushed towards the general!
As Li Jin rushed over, hundreds of soldiers on the city wall drew out their weapons and rushed over.
The men and horses from the two houses instantly fought together.
Although Li Jin was not very resourceful, he was also a man of foresight. From the time Zixing led his troops to besiege Changyi in the snow, he knew that Changyi could not be defended.
After Yizixing said that he had to kill Yuan Xu if he wanted Yuan Xu's head, he had already started planning and activities. In five days, he secretly convinced thousands of people to join him in resisting the Yuan family and taking Yuan Xu's head. .
The city wall was quickly completely occupied by the people led by Li Jin.
General Yuan never expected that Li Jin could summon so many people. He was careless and only brought his own bodyguards, a dozen or so people. How could he be Li Jin's opponent?
Soon, more than a dozen people, including him, were besieged to death by Li Jin and others.
"The general guarding the city is dead! If you want to survive, follow me into the city and take Yuan Xu's life!"
Li Jin raised General Yuan's head high and roared angrily.
"Surge into the city and kill Yuan Xu!"
Erheizi also roared angrily.
Hundreds and thousands of people immediately swarmed over the city wall and rushed towards the military camp first.
Along the way, many defenders who came after hearing the noise joined Li Jin's team one after another. Those soldiers who were close friends of the Yuan family were directly killed by Li Jin.
When they arrived at the military camp, Li Jin's team had reached five thousand people.
Five thousand people suddenly rebelled and the sudden attack caught the more than 10,000 defenders guarding the military camp off guard.
After Li Jin took out General Yuan's head, many people lost their fighting spirit and surrendered one after another.
The battle only lasted an hour.
The 20,000 troops in the city were miraculously controlled by Li Jin.
However, there were still thousands of people who were directly eliminated and wiped out by Li Jin! Because these people are all close confidants of the Yuan family!
The 20,000 defenders were instantly reduced to 15,000.
Li Jin led 15,000 defenders and stormed into the city in a mighty manner.
People along the way stayed behind closed doors, and the children were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe.
However, Li Jin did not harass the people, his target was only Yuan Xu.
Those wealthy clans also closed their doors tightly. They were guarded by private soldiers outside the doors and outside Wu Fort. They were afraid that these imperial guards who had lost their minds would attack them directly.
But the result was good. The defenders led by Li Jin did not attack these clan giants.
When they arrived at the city mansion, Yuan Xu was not found.
Li Jin thought Yuan Xu was hiding, so he ordered people to search around the city.
Until finally, Li Jin discovered Yuan Xu's figure on the city gate.
And Yuan Xu had turned into a corpse at this time, and the blood on the ground had long dried up.
…
It turned out that after Yuan Xu got Li Jin's rebellion, killed Yuan's general who was guarding the city, and took control of the three armies, he knew that he would not escape death, so he took advantage of the chaos and came to the city gate tower.
"Yizixing, you win!" Yuan Xu shouted to the sky, his voice was so sad.
Ye Long discovered Yuan Xu and, accompanied by Bai Changyun, drove his horse to the gate of Changyi City.
"Yuan Xu, if I want to blame you, it's because you are from the Yuan family." Ye Long looked at Yuan Xu calmly.
Seeing Yuan Xu's desperate look, he knew that the city was in chaos.
As for what happened to the chaos, he didn't know. It had something to do with the defenders anyway. He didn't know whether it was a war between the defenders and the clan, or a civil war between the defenders.
In short, after five days, there was movement in Changyi City. It was not what he wanted, so he was a little disappointed.
"Yizixing, do you hate the Yuan family so much?" Yuan Xu asked unwillingly.
"Do you know! A hundred thousand troops were killed by Yuan and Lu Zhi! One hundred thousand people, not a single person was left alive! Are you still human? I don't believe that there was not a single prisoner in that one hundred thousand army!? Yuan Shi, Lu Zhi, and Zhang Jiao, none of them can escape. If I don't destroy you, I'm sorry for the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who were killed by you!" Ye Long said in a deep voice.
It's not because the Yuan family is his biggest obstacle, nor is it because the Yuan family is a prominent family in the Liu Han Dynasty, but because what the Yuan family has done has gone too far, and people and gods are angry.
Zhang Niujiao led an army of 100,000 to support Zhang Jiao. In the end, the entire army was wiped out, leaving no one alive.
That was the lives of 100,000 people. He really believed that there were no prisoners...
There must be some prisoners, but now there is no one! That must have been killed by Yuan and Lu Zhi.
In their eyes, the Yellow Turbans are thieves!
Although those soldiers had not been with Ye Long for a long time, Ye Long, as a military advisor, had also fought with them.
Ye Long said that if the commander dies in battle and has to lay down his weapons, he must not fight to the death without surrender. It is not shameful for the Han people to surrender to the Han people, and it is not disloyal or unjust!
Surrendered, their lives were still alive, and he could redeem them.
But... after Ye Long captured Fengqiu, he sent an envoy to Jizhou, but the result was that none of the 100,000 troops were spared, and they were all killed in that battle.
This is a heinous crime for Yuan, Lu Zhi and Zhang Jiao, and a heinous hatred for him!
After hearing Ye Long's words, Yuan Xu twitched the corner of his mouth fiercely, thinking that the Yuan family was a famous family in the world. If they defeated the Yellow Turban Army, they might even kill the prisoners...
"Changyi City is yours." Yuan Xu knew that Ye Long would not let him go in order to avenge those 100,000 soldiers.
He raised the long knife in his hand, and then swiped it on his neck, killing him.
"Lord, we won...Changyi City is ours now?" Bai Changyun watched Yuan Xu commit suicide, blinked his eyes, and said stupidly.
"Changyi City is ours, but we didn't win... Then we have to face the Yuan family's revenge." Ye Long sighed and said.
Something had to be done, and this was something he had to do.
Show it to the soldiers all over the world, let them see that his soldiers, Ye Long, will not die in vain, and Ye Long will avenge them.
The same thing is being done to show the clans all over the world, what happened to the wealthy clans? What happened to the four generations and the three noble families in the world!
I, Ye Long, are not afraid. The people I will kill are members of your Yuan family.
It is also necessary to let those clan giants understand that Yizixing and the Yuan family will fight to the death, and they will either support the Yuan family or support him, Ye Long.
"Don't be afraid of revenge. If you take Changyi, the seat of Yanzhou, you will take Yanzhou. In the coming year, we will recruit troops. Yanzhou will be added to Hanoi and Yingchuan. Is the lord still afraid of his Yuan family?" Bai Changyun said excitedly.
"I'm really not afraid. I'm just afraid that the eighteen princes will attack me..." Ye Long thought silently in his heart.
It is really possible that the eighteen princes' attack on Dong will eventually evolve into the eighteen princes' attack on Ye Zixing.
…
"Open the city gate! Welcome Prefect Ye into the city!" After Li Jin cut off Yuan Xu's head, he directly ordered the city gate to be opened.
A rumble sounded.
The gate of Changyi City was opened.
The 100,000 troops outside the city did not have any emotions, except for the sincere admiration for their lord Ye Zixing.
Taking Dongyang without spending a single soldier, and now taking Changyi, the seat of Yanzhou... This is simply a miracle among miracles.
They are willing to believe in Ye Long as the new god, the divine envoy Zhang Mancheng, the heavenly general Zhang Jiao... they are all bullshit.
"What's your name?" Ye Long drove his horse to Li Jin, who was covered in blood, and asked curiously.
Seeing Li Jin, Ye Long knew that he led the defenders to resist Yuan Xu.
"Back to the prefect, I'm Li Jin, please come first." Li Jin said respectfully.
"You take Yuan Xu's head, and I will keep my word and make you the regiment leader, under General Pang Zhu's account. As for what a regiment leader is, you will understand it when you integrate into this big family. As for you, all are discussed Merits are rewarded, and all rewards will be discussed later. Now, all the soldiers are displayed outside the city according to the arrangement of their own armies." Ye Long looked at Li Jin with great satisfaction before speaking.
"Thank you, Governor." Li Jin said calmly. But he was excited inside. Although he didn't know how senior the battalion commander was, he should be quite big.
He didn't expect that Zhi Xing really kept his word and made him a general.
This was the right move.
Soon, all the 15,000 surrendered troops were lined up outside the city.
"Bai Changyun." Ye Long nodded towards Bai Changyun.
"Bring the thing here." Bai Changyun extended his hand and waved his hand.
Then I saw Ye Long's 100,000 troops making way in an orderly manner.
Then I saw dozens of large carriages approaching.
"Because the Lord doesn't know how many troops will be surrendered, he estimated that he would prepare 10,000 pairs of combat gloves. Now everyone comes forward to receive one, and then someone will assign you a code, and you will be organized into chaos and integrated into the army. If everyone If you don't have any objections, just come forward and get it." Bai Changyun shouted loudly with a loudspeaker.
"Let me tell you in advance that the soldiers who choose to stay will also receive some military pay at the beginning of each month. The higher the position, the more generous the military pay will be. Of course, the premise is that you have to achieve military merit." Bai Changyun didn't wait for anyone to move, and then He spoke.
After the words fell, the more than 10,000 surrendered soldiers were moved. They had heard that Zixing's army could get military pay, especially the lowest-level soldiers, but they didn't expect it to be true!
Those who were still hesitant at first stopped hesitating now and stepped forward one after another to receive the combat gloves.
When they put on the combat gloves, they were all surprised because their hands were not so cold soon. At least they could stretch them out and hold weapons!
Especially Li Jin, how grateful he was for his decision. If he insisted on defending Changyi... In terms of combat equipment, the defenders of Changyi were incomparable to Zixing's army.
These are just combat gloves that have this miraculous effect. Those soldiers are wearing long black shoes. What effect do they have?
Li Jin didn't know, but he could guess that it must be warm!
Much better than their straw sandals and cloth shoes.
"Kong Ming, let's enter the city." Seeing the orderliness outside the city, Ye Long looked at Kong Ming beside him and said.
"Okay." Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly and shook his head, then followed Ye Long.
In the city, Ye Long has been waiting here for two hours.
Zhuge Liang has already begun to accept the internal affairs of Changyi. Zhuge Liang will also replace those who should be replaced, and Zhuge Liang will appoint those who should be appointed.
Especially for the Changyi County Magistrate, he must choose a person carefully.
And what is Ye Long waiting for in the city?
Naturally, they are waiting for those wealthy clans.
Although those clan giants did not help Yuan Xu, they thought this matter was really over.
Changyi is a big city, and these clan giants should not be settled and asked to be obedient. Ye Long lives here and has trouble sleeping and eating. He always feels that there are several killers hidden in his back garden.
But he had already sent people to send orders to the wealthy food families. After two hours, not a single wealthy family came to visit.
"Li Jin, have you brought my words?" Ye Long looked at Li Jin who had just taken refuge in a deep voice.
"My lord, I brought it to you word for word. The attitude of those clans was very bad. Some clans just closed their doors and thanked guests. I didn't even come in," Li Jin said. When he saw Operation Commander Bai Chang and Zhuge Liang's military advisor, they both called Ye Long their lord, so he followed suit.
"You are from Jiyin County. You know which family in Changyi is the richest?" Ye Long nodded thoughtfully.
"General Ju Mo will understand that the largest family in Changyi City is the Chen family. The Chen family is famous in Yanzhou for its cast iron and has business relationships with other counties in Yanzhou. Eighty percent of the weapons for the garrison in Yanzhou are from the Chen family." Li Jin Without any hesitation, he answered.
"The Chen family is so powerful. When you go to the Chen family, what does the head of the Chen family say to you?" Ye Long is slightly surprised. 80% of the weapons in the Yanzhou garrison come from the Chen family. What a guy! This is a monopoly market.
"Kick me out directly." Li Jin was slightly stunned and his face turned red.
"What do you mean, kicked out?" Ye Long asked in surprise.
"The Chen family let me in, but as soon as I stepped through the door, I was kicked out..." Li Jin explained in detail.
"The Chen family, you are so brave!" Ye Long said coldly!
"Master, please don't get angry, the Chen family can't do anything." Li Jin realized that Ye Long was angry and said quickly.
Before Ye Long could speak, Zhuge Liang hurried in.
