Feng Ye thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, then this time you follow me, Zhang He stays to lead the army, and when the follow-up army arrives, let Sun Zhong lead the team to guard Xuchang, and you go to attack Yuzhou." ”

"Honorable Order. Zhang He said happily. Although he can't follow Feng Ye to attack Chang'an, the opportunity to lead the troops to take charge is also very important.

If they can take the lead in capturing Yuzhou, it will definitely be a great credit, or Chang'an's side, once it doesn't go well, then their side will be crucial.

Gao Ran was a little depressed at this time, and he refused too early. It is better to be able to take charge alone than to attack Chang'an with the generals. With so many generals around Feng Ye, how could he be revealed?

Yanzhou was easily captured by Feng Ye, and he didn't hold on for even a month, and Cao Cao's hair was about to turn white, so he could only keep urging the other princes to speed up the march.

The fall of Yanzhou also made other princes see Feng Ye's strength, if Cao Cao didn't stand in front and let them face Feng Ye's army alone, I am afraid that it would be the same fate.

These princes also agreed and chose to speed up the march. Cao Cao can't be destroyed, at least Chang'an can't fall. No matter what they thought of the imperial court, they were now nominally Hanchen.

Once the capital Chang'an falls, it will mean that the Han Dynasty will fall and usher in a change of dynasty, which will affect the morale of the people, but it will be too great. At that time, it is inevitable that the defenders in various places will be like Yanzhou, and surrender directly without resistance.

At this time, Sun Ce did not attack Xuzhou as expected, but chose to send troops to Yangzhou to capture Shouchun. In Yangzhou at this moment, most of Yuan Shu's subordinates have been cleaned up by Feng Ye.

The rest is just a lingering breath. If it weren't for the alliance of the princes, Yangzhou would have been Feng Ye's by now. happened to be picked up cheaply by Sun Ce.

Like Cao Cao, Sun Ce also felt that Feng Ye would choose to defend in the face of the alliance of princes, so he tried his best to capture Yangzhou.

To occupy states and counties, it is necessary to leave defenders in various places, and the larger the place occupied, the more soldiers are needed.

Sun Ce has occupied most of Yangzhou in a short period of time, and even picked up a big city of Shouchun for nothing. It's a time for complacency.

Zang Ba sent troops, did not send troops to attack Yangzhou, but directly sent troops to attack Qu'a, and gave Sun Ce a salary from the bottom of the kettle. directly abandoned the defense of Xuzhou and concentrated the army to attack Sun Ce's rear.

Xuzhou has just undergone Feng Ye's purge, and all opposition forces have been uprooted. Most of the young and strong were also allocated to the fields that were cleared. With a field at home and a head start in life, who wants to be a soldier to fight?

Most of the grain and money in the treasury of each county town were also transported. Zang Ba is also determined, even if these counties are occupied by Sun Ce, they will not be able to help him in a short time. Whether it's soldiers, or money and food.

Therefore, the current Xuzhou is not afraid of being attacked at all, and if Sun Ce really braves the world's condemnation and forcibly recruits soldiers, it will also lose the hearts of the people in Xuzhou. When the soldiers arrived on the battlefield and encountered Feng Ye's army, they might surrender on a large scale.

Qu A is different, this was originally Liu Yao's lair, and was later taken by Sun Ce, and this is where his foundation lies. There are also people in the big families who are under Sun Ce's command.

Once something goes wrong here, Sun Ce will become a lone army, and there will be no follow-up money and food support. Because Sun Ce went out on the expedition and took most of the soldiers with him.

Although Sun Ce arranged proper personnel to stay behind, there were too many troops in Zang Ba's hands, not counting the 20,000 Youzhou Raiders, 10,000 heavily armored halberds, and 50,000 soldiers and horses newly recruited from Xuzhou. Counting the auxiliary soldiers and civilians who transported, the number is more than 100,000.

The people left behind by Sun Ce, under the attack of Zang Ba's 100,000 army, had no power to resist at all, and Zang Ba's army could be said to be overwhelming all the way.

After all, Sun Ce has just settled Jiangdong, and there are not many soldiers under his command, and there is only a naval army under Zhou Yu's command. The number of people is only 3,000, and this is still the private soldiers of Zhou Yu's family.

Otherwise, with Sun Ce's background, I am afraid that at this time, there will not even be 3,000 elite soldiers. His father died in the battle and buried all the Jiangdong Tiger Army. The soldiers and horses in his hands were borrowed from Yuan Shu with the jade seal of the heirloom country.

After the defeat of Liu Yao later, he received a part of the surrendered troops and recruited some soldiers, so that he could gain a foothold in Jiangdong.

It's not that Sun Ce is careless, but it's difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. That's all there is to him in his hands. However, Shouchun's side had just been swept away by Feng Ye's army, and only a small number of rebel forces had not yet been wiped out.

This piece of land is almost like picking up for nothing, how can Sun Ce endure the opportunity to unify Yangzhou? In addition, now that the princes' coalition army is attacking Feng Ye, Feng Ye's attention is also focused on Yanzhou.

Only then did Sun Ce launch an attack on Shouchun, intending to unify Yangzhou. Now he was drawn from the bottom of the kettle by Zang Ba, and Sun Ce was also stunned. hurriedly wanted to return to the army to rescue, but was stopped by Zhou Yu.

"At this time, once we return to the army, if we fail to successfully capture Qu'a, I am afraid that we will have no place to stand. On the contrary, it is better to garrison the army in Shouchun in order to have a follow-up effect. Let's see how the coalition forces are doing. Zhou Yu persuaded.

was persuaded by Zhou Yu like this, Sun Ce is not a brave and unscrupulous person, he has some measures in his heart, and he still endures it for the time being. Zang Ba was not in a hurry to attack Shouchun, and cleaned up Sun Ce's forces in Jiangdong.

All the big clans whose families had people on Sun Ce's side were taken into custody by him. He was also waiting for news from Feng Ye's side, and Jiangdong's side was strangely calm.

Feng Ye's army left Xuchang and went straight to Chang'an. In just two days, directly crossing the counties along the way, when the army arrived at the city of Chang'an, even the scouts sent by Cao Cao were not as fast as Feng Ye's army.

Looking at the majestic Chang'an city wall, Feng Ye said to Hua Xiong behind him: "General Hua, as far as I know, there are not many soldiers and horses under Cao Cao's own command. But 30,000 horses. Now in Chang'an City, most of the soldiers and horses are the soldiers and horses of the original Xiliang.

You have been in the Xiliang Army for so many years, what friends do you have to make any of them?"

"General, I have a good relationship with Zhang Ji. Hua Xiong said.

"Then find a way to send someone to get in touch. Let's see if we can get him to surrender. Chang'an Jiancheng, this battle is only afraid that it will not be easy to fight. Feng Ye said.

"Lord, I have a plan to break through Chang'an Jiancheng!" Gao Ran stepped forward and said. Gao Ran saw Feng Ye's frown, in fact, no matter who faced Chang'an, a fortified city in the city with the same hatred, they would be helpless.

Gao Ran felt that he was getting ahead, and the opportunity to let the lord take a look at it had come. When everyone had no choice, he looked at Gao Zihuan, but at this moment he had a brilliant idea.

If this idea is changed to other people, they will definitely not dare to do it, but if Feng Ye, the lord of his own family, is concerned, he should be able to agree. As long as he can break through Chang'an, his high view is the first achievement.

"Let's hear it?" Feng Ye suddenly became interested, Chang'an, as the capital of the Han Dynasty, was built extremely strongly, and there were countless capable people in the city, and there were many people with famous secret skills.

If you want to break through the fortified city of Chang'an and not exhaust the ammunition consumed in the city, it is really wishful thinking.

"Lord, many of the big people in Chang'an City are not in Chang'an, such as the Hongnong Yang family, and those big families in Yingchuan. There are people in their families who are officials in Chang'an City.

And these people are still in high positions and powers, and every family has hundreds or thousands of servants and servants. If you can use the families of these people to force them to surrender. Open the city gate for us, isn't this Chang'an City at your fingertips?" Gao Ran said in a low voice.

He could say this to Feng Ye, but he didn't want others to hear it. Those big families aren't that easy to mess with. Don't look at Feng Ye now, he can't look down on the big family, but the family has a cultural heritage, and there are many talents from generation to generation. I can't tell when there will be juniors who will become officials under Feng Ye's command.

Once it is known that it is a bad idea that he has come up with, I am afraid that he will be retaliated against sooner or later. It doesn't matter if he talks to Feng Ye, Feng Ye's character, he can still trust it, and he believes that Feng Ye will not publicize this kind of thing and pit him.

When Feng Ye heard this, he frowned a little, this strategy was really a bit despicable. But the effect is expected to be good. The Han Dynasty pays attention to a family and a country. The family is the family, which is at the forefront, and it is more important than the country.

Threaten those high-ranking officials from big families with their families and ask them to open the city gates, and they should do so.

"It's just that this reputation is a little ......," Feng Ye said with a bit of a deep groan.

"Lord, it's not that you don't know how those big families smeared you, the current big man, your reputation is already the top. Gao Ran whispered.

Although he is not very capable, he likes to be cautious and think about his intentions, and he has a more accurate grasp of Feng Ye's thoughts. Knowing Feng Ye's mind, he would not be angry because of this little thing.

Feng Ye didn't say much about this plan, but silently took this plan as an alternative. This can also be regarded as those big families cocooning themselves, they ruined Feng Ye's reputation everywhere, but it made Feng Ye have a little less scruples.

Anyway, their reputation has been ruined by them, if they don't really do something, wouldn't they have a bad reputation in vain?

Feng Ye now has other methods, but he is not in a hurry to use Gao Lan's method. This kind of method of ruining character, if you can not use it, try not to use it. But if it really arrives and it is necessary to use it, Feng Ye will not hesitate.

The reason why the current Chang'an City can still be defended with peace of mind is because all the princes are gathering. They know that there is foreign help, so they can still hold on.

But as long as the foreign aid of Chang'an City is cut off, the morale of the city will plummet. When the time comes, it is natural that some people will have the desire to take refuge.
