In the dead of night, Lin Nan sat alone in the big tent, reflected in the dim light, and he dragged his chin and pondered how to progress to the second half of his strategy.

"Lord, Guo joins the army and asks to see you outside!" The soldiers entered the big tent and bowed their hands.

"Guo Jia? How did he come, let him in! ”

After a short time, Guo Jia walked in and arched his hand: "My subordinates see the lord!" ”

Lin Nan raised his hand, pointed to a straw mat beside him, and said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, sit next to me." ”

Guo Jia walked straight to Lin Nan's side, sat down without restraint, and arched his hand: "Isn't the lord resting?" ”

"Didn't you rest too? If I rest, who will meet you? You came from the South Gate late at night, did you have something to do with Zhang He? ”

"General Zhang is safe and sound, but his subordinates have something to do."

"Oh...... Let's hear it. ”

Guo Jia looked at Lin Nan's sad face, and asked, "Is the lord worried about Qu Wolf's next strategy?" ”

Lin Nan nodded and said with a smile: "Well, do you have any good ideas?" ”

Guo Jia said: "Lu Bu is a child, the courage of the horseman, but there is a Chen Gong by his side, and he seems to obey Chen Gong's words, if the lord wants to encourage Lu Bu to attack Si Li, there must be a good rhetoric, which can make Chen Gong believe it." However, from the perspective of his subordinates, Chen Gong is quite scheming, and he is also very suspicious of people, so he is not easy to be deceived. The only way is to start with the generals under Lu Bu's account, Lu Bu is very important to Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, as well as his wife-in-law Wei Xu, and the newly defected Wen Chou, if these four people make suggestions to Lu Bu together, Lu Bu will definitely occupy Sili. ”

"So how do you convince these four people? Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Wen Chou are not fuel-efficient lamps. ”

Guo Jia said: "The subordinates are willing to persuade these four people one by one. My subordinates rarely walk in front of people, because few people in the Jin army know me, and I can imitate local accents, so it is not difficult to blend in with the Jin army. ”

"Is it dangerous?" Lin Nan said worriedly.

"Three points of surprise, seven points of danger, but the subordinates have their own solutions. Tomorrow will start a general assault on Yecheng. It is also the time when the Jin army is the most defenseless, and the subordinates can take advantage of this time to infiltrate the Jin army, and then contact the four people of the Jin army one by one after capturing Yecheng, and ask them to persuade Lu Bu to go south to attack Si Li. As long as Lu Bu crossed the Yellow River with his troops, the lord could copy his back road and send troops to guard the various crossings of the Yellow River and prevent him from crossing north. In addition, the lord must also connect with the Xianbei people and encourage the Xianbei people to attack the south and merge the state......"

Guo Jia paused. Seeing that Lin Nan was listening attentively, he continued: "Once the Xianbei people go south to attack Bingzhou, Zhang Yang, who stayed in Bingzhou, will inevitably ask Lu Bu for help, our army has blocked all the ferries of the Yellow River, and the news cannot be transmitted, and Lu Bu has no way of knowing. The lord can lead a strong army into the state at this time, nominally helping Zhang Yang repel the Xianbei people, but secretly attacking and killing Zhang Yang. Then he promised the benefits of the Xianbei people and let them withdraw from the army. Sending troops to garrison the annexed state can easily seize the annexed state, so that the entire north of the Yellow River will be owned by the lord. ”

Lin Nan laughed and said, "What a clever plan, this move of yours is really wonderful." However, are you sure that you will not be in any danger if you enter the Jin army camp alone? ”

Guo Jia said: "Don't worry, my lord. My subordinates have their own way to get out, and this will also be the first contribution that I Guo Jia has made under the main account, and the world will remember my Guo Jia's name in the future. ”

"This kid is still that impulsive, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Don't die for the sake of being famous. Lin Nan thought secretly in his heart.

Two years ago, when Lin Nan first saw Guo Jia in Luoyang Shisun Rui's mansion, the situation gradually came to mind, seeing that Guo Jia in front of him had grown into a handsome guy with a strong physique, and was no longer the weak young man he was at the beginning, so he happily patted Guo Jia's shoulder and said with a smile: "The future is terrible, the future is terrible." Fengxiao, work hard, you will leave an important mark in the history books in the future, and you will also become my founding hero! ”

"Thank you for your appreciation."

Lin Nan and Guo Jia chatted a little more in the big tent, then separated, and then fell asleep, sleeping until dawn.

Early the next morning, Lin Nan went out of the camp tent, saw that the water outside the camp had subsided, and the water in Yecheng had almost receded, looked up at the scorching sun, and gave the order to prepare for the siege.

The stagnant water in Yecheng has not subsided for the time being, all the houses are soaked in the stagnant water, the people are miserable, the soldiers are complaining, and the former trust of the Yuan family has disappeared in their hearts. Just last night, some civilians and soldiers sneaked out of the unguarded four city gates, swam across the moat, or simply lowered the drawbridge, went out of the city and surrendered to the Yan army camp.

Yecheng is already a country, the soldiers have no fighting spirit, the people feel panicked, the siege of the city for more than half a month has tossed a lot of people in the city, those people can't eat well, can't sleep, for fear that the day the city will be broken will be killed in the chaos of the army.

On the urn city at the south gate, Han Meng looked at the exhausted appearance of his subordinates, coupled with the complaints and resignation of Jiang Yiqu, Zhang Nan, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Ma Yan and other generals, his heart was also slightly shaken.

Early in the morning, Han Meng, who had just taken over the city's soldiers and horses, gathered Zhang Nan, Jiang Yiqu, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Ma Yan and others together, and everyone sat together and talked freely to each other.

"I called you here today, there is no other meaning, after a flood, Yecheng suddenly fell into an unprecedented crisis, yesterday I heard that thousands of soldiers and more than 10,000 people from the north gate out of the city surrendered to the Yan army, I want to ask you, do you think we can still hold this city?" Han Meng was the first to speak.

Zhang Nan first replied: "It's still a fart, the soldiers have no longer the will to fight, as long as the enemy army attacks the city, our army will be defeated immediately, and it is a matter of time before the city is broken." In my opinion, we might as well surrender sooner. ”

"Even if you want to surrender, you have to think clearly about who to surrender to, whether to surrender to the Yan army or to the Jin army!" Jiang Yiqu famous.

Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, and Ma Yan all bowed their hands together: "General Han, we all listen to you." ”

Han Meng closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and then when he opened them, he asked, "Which side do you think we should surrender to?" ”

"Wen Chou surrendered to Lu Bu, why don't we surrender Lu Bu together?" Jiang Yi channel.

Zhang Nan said: "No, we should surrender to Lin Nan. I heard that Youzhou is thriving under Lin Nan's governance, and the salary of being a soldier in the Yan army is very good, I think it is better to surrender to Lin Nan, at least eat and drink. ”

Han Meng said: "Once Yecheng is breached, the foundation of the Yuan family will be destroyed, and there will be a situation in Jizhou. With Lin Nan to the east and Lu Bu to the west, the two sides look good now, but sooner or later there will be a fight for Jizhou. We have to make a good choice, otherwise we will regret it for the rest of our lives. ”

Everyone was silent, and after a long time, they all bowed their hands and said: "General Han has always had a unique vision, I don't know if there is a candidate in the general's mind?" ”

Han Meng smiled and said, "Marquis Lu Bu of Jin." Brave and good at fighting, it can be called unparalleled in the world, and its subordinates can also be described as the division of tigers and wolves. Yanhou Linnan, wise and brave, is very unique in governing the place and using troops, and our army has suffered losses many times. In my heart, Lu Bu is just a martial artist, and Lin Nan is the real hero. In these days of fighting against the Yan army. It made me thoroughly realize the strength of the Yan army, and the Yan army is not fighting alone. It is a group of people, and Yan Hou has a lot of talents, and he will inevitably become the overlord of the world in time. ”

Zhang Nan, Jiang Yiqu, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Ma Yan and others all understood when they heard Han Meng say it so thoroughly, and after glancing at each other, they bowed their hands to Han Meng in unison: "We are all willing to look at the head of the general!" ”

Han Meng slapped his thigh. He stood up and shouted: "Okay, let's do it simply, open the city gate and surrender, it is better to surrender the city directly." First arrested Yuan Xi and Fu Zhi, and then sent troops to control the whole city, and surrendered to Lin Nan with the city's civil and military forces. ”

Zhang Nan and the others all replied in unison: "We are willing to obey the general's dispatch!" ”

A smile appeared on Han Meng's face, and he thought silently in his heart: "Zhang He, since I want to be your opponent, I will be your eternal opponent......

Subsequently, Han Meng carried out a transfer of troops, Zhang Nan, Jiang Yiqu, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Ma Yan and others each took their own personal subordinates to run in the city, and Han Meng personally led his troops to Zhaohou Mansion, and a series of things were in full swing.

……

There was still a quarter of time before noon, the stagnant water on the ground had already receded, revealing the ground, Huang Zhong led the army to line up outside the north gate, and Lin Nan rode his horse to the front of the team to inspect.

Suddenly, a team of civil and military officials came out of the urn city in Yecheng, and walked out through the broken north gate with water flowing, led by Han Meng, holding a plate in his hand, and some seals and documents were placed on the plate.

When Lin Nan noticed this abnormal move, he asked suspiciously, "Enemy ...... The enemy came and surrendered on their own initiative? ”

As Lin Nan saw, Han Meng led Yecheng Wenwu to surrender with a surrender table.

Han Meng led everyone across the suspension bridge and came to the front of the Yan army, everyone did not carry a sword, and the civil and military officials lined up in two columns, following behind him.

"Han Meng, the general of the defeated army, led all the civil and military officials in Yecheng to meet Yan Hou!" Han pounced and knelt on the ground with a little stagnant water, holding the descending table in his hand, and said loudly.

"I'll see Yanhou later......" The civil and military officials knelt in the muddy quagmire together, and shouted in unison, regardless of whether the clothes on their bodies were noble.

Lin Nan looked at the people who were kneeling on the ground in front of him, and saw that their faces were very sincere, so he said loudly: "Are you really dedicated to the city?" ”

Han Meng, as a spokesman, replied: "I have been admiring the name of Yanhou for a long time, and I was an enemy of Yanhou before, it was really out of helplessness, and now we are all very sincere to serve Yanhou, hoping that Yanhou can be magnanimous and take us in." ”

Lin Nan glanced at the people kneeling on the ground, the column on the left was the generals, namely Zhang Nan, Jiang Yiqu, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Ma Yan, Chun Yudao and others, and on the right were Xin Bi, Xiao Ji, Chen Lin, Chen Zhen and others, he didn't find the shadow of Yuan Xi and Yuan Xi, so he asked: "Where is Yuan Xi and Yuan Xi?" ”

Han Meng turned his face and beckoned to the city gate, shouting loudly, "Bring people out!" ”

I saw a few Zhao soldiers pushing Yuan Xi and Fu Zhu out of the city gate, while Yuan Xi and Fu Zhu were tied tightly by ropes and walked out very reluctantly.

"Haha, interesting...... Lin Nan smiled when he saw that Yuan Xi and Yuan Xi were pushed out, "General Han, generals, adults." Get up, stand here for now, and I'll allow you to come down!" ”

Han Meng and the others were expressionless on their faces, and after thanking Lin Nan for his kindness in unison, they stood aside.

Yuan Xi and Fu Zhi were quickly pushed over, and their mouths were tightly gagged. His eyes were full of different looks. The frustrated eyes were angry and helpless, and Yuan Xi's eyes were pleading.

Huang Zhong saw that the soldiers of the Zhao army were approaching Lin Nan, so he rode out with his sword, galloped forward two steps, and shouted loudly: "Stop!" ”

The soldiers of the Zhao army did not dare to approach, and only pushed Yuan Xi and Fu Zhu forward.

Lin Nan sneered, rode his horse to Yuan Xi and Fu Zhi's side, raised the horse whip in his hand and pointed at Yuan Xi and said, "Huangkou Xiao'er is not shallow. Killed your own father and brother, but you want to frame me? I, Lin Nan, dare to act boldly, but I don't want to carry this black pot for you. I will make the matter of your murder of your father and brother known to the world, and you will be reviled by the people of the world......"

"Hmm......" Yuan Xi's mouth was tightly blocked, and he couldn't shout words, only to see him plop on the doctor and kneel on the ground, kowtowing to Lin Nan incessantly, and his previous high-spirited and heroic posture turned into nothing.

"What? You're begging me not to kill you. Let your dog die? Lin Nan said triumphantly.

Yuan Xi shook his head and made a few noises.

Lin Nan was very strange. Then he said to the soldier on the side, "Let him speak." ”

The soldier took off the cloth stuffed in Yuan Xi's mouth, and as soon as the cloth was taken off here, Yuan Xi shouted loudly: "Yanhou, I, Yuan Xi, am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and I have already had the intention of surrendering." But there is one thing I want to ask Yan Hou to agree to, even if it is my begging before I die. ”

"Oh. Let's talk about it......" Lin Nan secretly looked at Yuan Xi in front of him, and saw that this young man was very different from what he imagined, so he felt that Yuan Xi had a sense of mystery on his body.

Yuan Xi said: "There are 70,000 people in Yecheng, and these people are being soaked in water, and many people's food has also been soaked in sewage. I can't eat it anymore, and now only the grain in the treasury can relieve these people, I want to ask Yanhou to open a warehouse and release grain after getting Yecheng to save the people in the city. ”

"Hehe, you are really different from your father, I didn't expect you to know how to sympathize with the people at such a young age, I promise you."

"Thank you, Yanhou!" Yuan Xi kowtowed, then stood up, and said to Lin Nan with righteousness, "Yanhou, the sin is only on me, I am willing to suffer for everyone, please Yanhou cut off my head, with the heart of the army!" ”

"Hmm......" Frustration suddenly ran to Yuan Xi's side, shaking his head vigorously, but he couldn't speak.

Lin Nan waved his hand and motioned for the soldier to remove the cloth from his mouth.

As soon as the cloth in his mouth was removed, he hurriedly said to Lin Nan: "Yanhou, my lord is innocent, all the fault is on me alone, please let my lord go, he is different from the old lord and other people of the Yuan family, although he has the blood of the Yuan family, but he has a compassionate heart, as early as three days ago, my lord had the intention of surrendering, I am making a hindrance from it, if you want to kill me, kill me, and it is also me who let more than 20,000 soldiers of Yanhou be buried in the area of Juluze, not killing me is not enough to make the people angry, I'm willing to die to thank the world! ”

"Father......" Frustrated Hu didn't know where to run out, shuttled out of Yan Jun's camp, cried and mourned, ran to Frustrated's side, and knelt on the ground with a plop.

Fu Zhu glanced at Fu Hu, ignored it, and said loudly: "I don't have your son, my son died half a month ago." ”

Frustrated Hu cried a handful of snot and tears, and kept kowtowing to Frustration, begging for forgiveness, but Frustration was already hard-hearted, and he didn't even twist his head anymore.

Fu Zhu walked straight to Lin Nan's side, and said loudly: "Yan Hou, you and I have known each other, it can be regarded as a fate, I really want to be your opponent, but in the end, I found that I am not your opponent at all, you are a hero, I believe that you will definitely end the war-torn strife and establish a different world." ”

Lin Nan looked at what was happening now, moved a little compassion, and said softly: "Actually, you don't have to die......"

Frustrated, he said: "Loyal ministers don't care about the second master, I'm sorry for the old lord, because I instigated the young lord to kill the old lord, I am already a sinful person, without a king and a father, what face do I have to live in this world?" ”

Lin Nan squirmed his lips. I wanted to say something, but when he saw the resolute face of Fu Zhi, he knew that he could no longer move his compassion, and the more than 20,000 soldiers who died were the price he paid for Fu Zhi, and this price was big enough. He sighed. Finally, he asked, "You really don't want to be used by me?" ”

"Half a month ago, I watched the sky at night and saw that the star belonging to me was getting darker and darker, but the Ziwei Emperor Star in the north direction was getting brighter and brighter, and at the same time, the Ziwei Emperor Star was surrounded by a group of bright stars, which can only be said that I was already destined by the sky. I heard that you are the reincarnation of Ziwei Emperor Xing, and you have confirmed the rumors with your strength, and I wish you will be able to calm the world as soon as possible in the future. The decaying Han Dynasty has now existed in name only, and perhaps you can usher in a new era. ”

The voice fell. Frustrated, he ran quickly into the moat alone, jumped into it with a plop, and after making a splash, he never floated again.

"Father's ......"

Seeing that Frustrated Hu committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, he ran over and jumped in desperately, trying to rescue Frustrated. But. As soon as he jumped into the moat, the viper, which had been hidden in the moat, swam over. Tightly wrapped around him, pulling him down the water. After some bubbles appeared on the water, Frustrated Hu stopped moving, sank deep into the moat, and disappeared into the moat with his father.

Yuan Xi watched Frustration give in to righteousness, and Frustrated Hu also went to his death. He sighed heavily. Raising his head, he looked at Lin Nan and said, "Yanhou, please behead me!" ”

Lin Nan waved his hand and shouted to the soldiers: "Untie up!" ”

Yuan Xi said in surprise: "Yan Hou." You...... You don't kill me? ”

"If I saved you with my death, I won't kill you again. Since he said that you are different from your father and brother, then I want to see what is different about you. Yuan Xi, let me ask you, are you willing to surrender to me, work for me, and sincerely join me from now on? ”

"My lord! Never! Jia Xu suddenly rode his horse to Lin Nan's side and hurriedly dissuaded.

Lin Nandao: "Why not? ”

"Yuan Xi is the bloodline of the Yuan family, if he doesn't die, the old Yuan family will have a trace of concern, leaving Yuan Xi behind, it can only be said that it is a tiger for trouble, please think twice!" Jia Xu said.

"Hahaha! This may be called heaven's destiny, Yanhou, since you have agreed to my request, please don't break your promise, even if I, Yuan Xi, die, I can be blinded. For the great cause of Yanhou in the future, for the sake of those soldiers who surrendered, why should I, Yuan Xi, give up my life in exchange for the lives of 70,000 people in the city? Yuan Xi laughed loudly, and as soon as the words fell, he turned around and ran backwards.

"Strategist, I'm coming for you! Father, third brother, I have come to make amends for you! Yuan Xi shouted loudly as he ran forward.

Soon, Yuan Xi also jumped into the moat, and immediately many snakes entangled his whole body, and then he sank to the bottom of the water, and at the moment of submerging into the water, he had a smile on his face.

Lin Nan sighed and said, "Within one day, three righteous people died, and there are many capable people under Yuan Shao's account, but it's a pity that Yuan Shao is incompetent and can't control it." The military advisor ordered someone to salvage the bodies of Yuan Xi, Fu Zhu, and Fu Hu, and buried the three of them near Yecheng. ”

"No!" Jia Xu arched his hand.

Lin Nan pointed to Han Meng who was on the side and said, "General Han, please take me into the city, I will start to take over Yecheng!" ”

Han Meng nodded, and walked towards the city with the civil and military officials behind him.

Huang Zhong led a thousand cavalry to follow behind Han Meng, Lin Nan led a thousand cavalry to walk in the middle, and the army behind was all handed over to Zhao Yun to lead, and sent people to inform Zhang He and Tai Shici at the south gate and the east gate to tell them not to attack the city.

After entering Yecheng, it was normal, and Han Meng and the others really surrendered, which made Lin Nan's heart settle down a little.

Lin Nan led a large army into the city, and under the leadership of Han Meng, he soon came to the gorgeous Zhaohou Mansion. When he saw that this mansion had almost become the palace of King Zhao, he couldn't help but sigh at Yuan Shao.

Wenwu entered the city, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Chen Zhi and others each led their soldiers and horses to quickly take over the east, south and north three city gates, and put down the drawbridge, Zhang He outside the south gate, Tai Shici outside the east gate The soldiers and horses were put into the city together, and Lu Heng, Lin Yang, Liao Hua, and Wen Ping went to take over the west gate of Yecheng.

Lu Heng, Lin Yang, Liao Hua, and Wen Ping came to the West Gate together under the leadership of Chun Yudao, who withdrew the soldiers who defended the city, and brought the original Zhao soldiers to the school field, and left the city gate to Lu Heng, Lin Yang, Liao Hua, and Wen Ping.

Lu Heng first took the soldiers to climb the city tower, replaced the big silk hanging on the flagpole, and a black background, gold character "Yan" was displayed in the wind. The soldiers of the Yan army were all lined up on the city tower in an orderly manner.

In the camp of the Jin army not far from the west gate, Lu Bu had just ordered all the soldiers and horses, and was about to set off, but suddenly saw the banner of the Yan army hanging on the gate of Yecheng, and he said incomprehensibly: "What's going on?" Didn't you say that you would attack at noon? ”

"Report-" The scout ran over with a long voice, and immediately arched his hand when he saw Lu Bu: "Lord Qi." The general of the Zhao army, Han Meng, led the city Chinese Wu to surrender to Yanhou, and Yuan Xi and Yuan Xi committed suicide by jumping into the river. ”

"What?" Lu Bu shouted loudly like thunder, "How dare Han Meng'er do this, and actually ruin my plan...... Where is Yan Jun now? ”

The scout said, "Half of all the Yan troops poured into Yecheng and took over the defense of the four city gates. ”

"Bastard thing, how dare Lin Nan do this to me?" Lu Bu said angrily.

Chen Gong came to Lu Bu's side at this time, and hurriedly said: "Lord, now that the matter is over, we can only go to Xingshi to ask for guilt." Yecheng is ours, and Lin Nan should not enter it. ”

Lu Bu immediately shouted: "Wen Chou, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Wei Xu!" ”

Wen Chou, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Wei Xu replied in unison: "The subordinates are here!" ”

"Gather all the soldiers and horses, and follow me out of the camp!" Lu Bu waved Fang Tian's halberd forward, and immediately rode out, and without waiting for the others to answer, he ran out of the camp in a puff of smoke.

On the city wall of the west gate of Yecheng, Lu Heng and his soldiers closely monitored the every move of the Jin army, and saw Lu Bu running over alone on a red rabbit horse. He immediately shouted to the bottom of the city tower: "Lu Bu is really here, all ready!" ”

Wen Ping, Liao Hua, and Lin Yang, who were waiting under the city tower, all nodded together. Leaving the cavalry to block the gate, he went up to the tower with the archers, and immediately strengthened the defense of the west gate to the maximum. In addition, there were some soldiers who pushed their crossbows up the city wall and set them up on the city wall, waiting for the battle.

Lu Bu's horse is fast. After a short time, he galloped to the west gate of the city, and saw that the drawbridge was raised, the city gate was closed, and there were four generals Lu Heng, Wen Ping, Lin Yang, and Liao Hua standing on the city tower, so he was angry. shouted at the city wall: "Where is Lin Nan? Let him come out and see me! ”

Lu Heng replied: "My lord is unwell and cannot see guests for the time being, and he is now resting in the city. The military advisor asked me to tell the Marquis of Jin, saying that when my father-in-law recovered, he would transfer Yecheng to the Marquis of Jin, and he could only temporarily aggrieve the Marquis of Jin to live outside the city temporarily. ”

"Not feeling well? Wasn't it okay yesterday? Don't use these words to prevaricate me, go and call Lin Nan to see me! ”

Lu Heng continued to reply: "To tell you the truth, my lord is indeed unwell, a poisonous snake that I don't know where it came from last night injured my lord, and my lord is still unconscious." ”

"Fuck your stinking fart! Han Meng presented the city just now, who was wearing the armor? You don't call me here Haha, go and call Lin Nan to see me, why do you have to break your promise to me now? ”

Lu Bu roared loudly, his face was bruised, all he wanted was Yecheng, the most important thing was that he was worried about the treasures buried under Yuan Shao's mansion in Yecheng. Countless horses' hooves sounded behind him, and Wen Chou, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Wei Xu led all the cavalry behind Lu Bu, and all the cavalry were very strong and powerful.

Lu Heng said to Lin Yang beside him: "The cavalry of the Jin army is very strong, I don't know who is higher and who is lower than our army?" ”

Lin Yang said: "No need to ask, it must be the cavalry of our army." ”

"Lu Bu led all the cavalry, and he couldn't make concessions until he had to, and he couldn't transport the food and goods out of the city without two or three days. And it takes time for people to move. Liao Hua said.

Wen Ping said: "Anyway, the main bus has stayed, and Lu Bu will be delayed for three days no matter what." General Lu, you can continue to make it up. ”

Lu Heng nodded, turned to look at Lu Bu, and said loudly: "Marquis Jin, what I said is the truth, it was just a stand-in for my lord who accepted Han Meng's surrender just now, my lord was indeed bitten by a poisonous snake yesterday, and he is still unconscious, and has been carried into the city to rest." ”

"Do you believe what Lu Heng said?" Lu Bu asked softly.

Wen Chou, Gao Shun, and Wei Xu all shook their heads, expressing disbelief.

Seeing Zhang Liao's hesitation, Lu Bu asked, "Wenyuan, do you believe it?" ”

Zhang Liao shook his head and said slowly: "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, what matters is why Lin Nan did this. Blocking our army outside the city and not allowing them to enter the city is nothing more than the fear that our army will not give the promised grain and grass after entering the city, and his subordinates think that this may be an excuse for Lin Nan to deliberately drag the lord. ”

"Well, why didn't I think of that?" Wei Xu said with a smile.

Gao Shun said: "I can't rule out this possibility, but if that's the case." Won't our army have to stay outside the city for a few more days? ”

"If it doesn't work, let's attack the city, anyway, our army has siege equipment, and it's not too late to attack Yecheng again!" Wei continued.

"Beat you big-headed ghost, now it's the Yan army that is defending the city, not the Zhao army, the morale of the Yan army is very high, we are going to attack the city now, isn't that asking for trouble?" Gao Shundao.

"Don't make a noise!" Lu Bu shouted loudly.

Gao Shun and Wei Xu immediately quieted down and stared at the city tower together.

Lu Bu had a gap in his heart. He always felt very unhappy, but he was anxious to get the treasure in the city, and he couldn't start a war with the Yan army, so he shouted loudly: "Two days! I'll give you two more days, and get out of Yecheng quickly, otherwise, don't blame our army for being polite. ”

As soon as the words fell, Lu Bu turned the horse's head. Rode their horses back to the camp, and the rest of the generals followed suit.

Lu Heng saw Lu Bu lead his army away. Breathing a sigh of relief, he turned to Lin Yang and said, "You go and tell Lord Sù about this, and we will hand it over to us to guard, and we will closely monitor Lu Bu's movements in the past two days." ”

"Okay, I'll go."

……

In the palace of the Marquis of Zhao, Lin Nan met with all the generals of the Zhao army who surrendered one by one. In order to stabilize the hearts of the soldiers of the Zhao army, Xin Bi was appointed as the Taishou of Hejian, Chen Zhen as the Taishou of Bohai, Zhang Nan as the Taishou of Qinghe, and Jiang Yiqu as the Taishou of the Plains. Let Han Meng assassinate the history of Jizhou and sit in the Xindu City of Anping County.

After doing this, Han Meng and the others withdrew from the hall.

"Alright, now it's time to get down to business. Now that the Yuan clan has collapsed, it is Lu Bu's turn to take the rest of the rest, and our army's grain and grass have been brought for a year, and it took only a month and a half to completely collapse the Yuan clan's forces, which is gratifying. However, this strategy of driving away the tiger and devouring the wolf must be carried out, and while the morale of our army is now high, as long as we take a temporary break for a while, we can once again enter the battle. It's just that I need someone to go to Xianbei Shan Yuting in person now, give some benefits to the Xianbei people, and let them attack and merge the state in a month, I don't know who wants to go to the Saiwai grassland? Lin Nan asked.

Zhang He stepped forward, hugged his fists and said, "Lord, my subordinates are willing to go." ”

"I'm willing to go too!" Tai Shi Ci stood up unyieldingly.

"You?" Zhang He sneered and stopped talking.

Tai Shi Ci killed Yan Liang, and now he was refreshed, and when he saw Zhang He's disdainful look, he said, "What's wrong with me, can't I go if you go?" ”

Zhang He said: "The grassland is not a place for people like you to go, do you know where Xianbei's Shan Yuting is?" Do you know how many tribes the Xianbei people have? Do you know which tribes have a good relationship with our army and which ones have a bad relationship with the Jin army? Do you know when the Xianbei people hunted and were on that grassland? You don't know any of that, do you? ”

Tai Shici blinked his eyes, he was a little dumbfounded by Zhang He's series of questions, his mind was blank, and he couldn't say anything.

Lin Nan saw Tai Shici's embarrassment, so he said: "Ziyi, you are indeed not suitable to go to the grassland, in my opinion, only Zhang He can do this matter." Junyi, are you sure to convince a few Xianbei tribes? ”

Zhang He stayed in Yunzhou outside the Saiwai for a long time, there was a bazaar, usually Shi Sun You was responsible for the exchange of goods, he was responsible for the local security and government decrees, and the contact with the Xianbei people was also very much, this came and went, and some Xianbei people became friends, and also learned some of the situation of the Xianbei grassland ethnic group from their mouths. He thought about it, silently counted it in his heart, and then said to Lin Nan: "My lord, Xianbei has twenty-eight major tribes and fifty-three small tribes, and with the friendship between his subordinates and some Xianbei people, it is not a problem to persuade eight major tribes and one or twenty small tribes. ”

Lin Nandao: "It should be enough, the Xianbei people live a loose life, and there is a problem between the various tribes, you don't need so much, you just need to find one person, and promise benefits, I believe that with his appeal, he should be able to gather tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry to attack the south and merge the state." ”

Zhang He thought for a while and hurriedly said, "Could it be that the lord is talking about Budugen?" ”

Lin Nan said with a smile: "It's him, we fought with him in Liaodong three years ago, and then Budugen became honest, often sending envoys to Jicheng, and he is also a descendant of Tan Shikui, I believe that relying on his father's fame can recruit tens of thousands of people." ”

Zhang He said: "My subordinates understand, when will they leave?" ”

"The sooner the better."

"That'...... That subordinate will leave tonight, and my subordinates can be handed over to Xu Gongming and Pang Lingming to take charge. ”

Lin Nan said with a smile: "I have my own arrangements, you go and come back quickly, and don't delay you to bring troops into the state after you come back." ”

"No! The subordinates retired first! ”

Jia Xu stood up and arched his hand: "Lord, Zang Ba has sent news. ”

"Oh, what's going on over there in Qingzhou?" Lin Nan asked with concern.

Jia Xu said: "According to Zang Ba's report, Wei Yan occupied Le'an County, and he also occupied Jinan County, but what was unexpected was that Liu Bei actually occupied Qi County before him, and Cao Cao then stationed in Linzi City, and sent people to Zang Ba to ask for the land of Jinan, Le'an, and Pingyuan. ”

Lin Nan sneered: "The situation in Qingzhou is not very pleasant, tell sù Zang Ba, let him drag Cao Cao for the time being, try to mobilize the local people to evacuate, evacuate to the north of the Yellow River, I want the population." In addition, let Zang Ba send someone to negotiate with Cao Cao to exchange the land of Jinan and Le'an counties for Cao Cao's nine counties in the east north of the Yellow River. Cao Cao is so smart, he must know what my intentions are, as long as the exchange is successful, our army can rest easy. ”

Jia Xu said "promise", and immediately arched his hand and said: "The lord is wise." ”

"Lord!" Lin Yang walked in from the outside and hugged his fists, "Lu Bu is really as the lord expected, and he has temporarily retreated back to the camp. It's just that he asked the lord to hand over Yecheng in two days, otherwise, he would meet with swords. ”

Lin Nan frowned, pondered for a while, and then said: "Xun You, Xun Chen, Xu You, Wang Wenjun, the four of you must move the people of the whole city to Xindu City within two days, our army is ready to evacuate, take away everything that can be taken away in Yecheng, Lu Bu wants Yecheng, let's give him a Yecheng." ”

Xun You, Xun Chen, Xu You, and Wang Wenjun replied in unison: "Subordinates receive orders!" ”

"Xu Huang, Pang De, the two of you commanded the soldiers and horses of Zhang He's headquarters, set up a camp in the southwest and northwest, echoing the west gate of Yecheng, forming an arc-shaped semi-encirclement situation, releasing patrols every day, and immediately arresting suspicious people if they found them, and temporarily detaining them, within two days, I don't want Lu Bu to know what our army is doing." Lin Nan said loudly.

"My subordinates understand!" Xu Huang and Pang De replied in unison.

Tai Shi Ci saw that Lin Nan snubbed him, so he hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "Lord, what about me?" ”

Lin Nandao: "You are responsible for covering the evacuation of the people, and the east gate will be handed over to you." ”

Tai Shi Ci saw that Lin Nan gave him this task, so the boss was reluctant, but he still accepted it.

"Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun! One of you guards the south gate and the other guards the north gate, and if there is any accident in the two camps of Xu Huang and Pang De, they will immediately support them. Lin Nan ordered again.

Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun shouted at the same time: "No! ”

After the order was given, the generals began to carry out the order, and the hall was suddenly empty.

On that day, Yecheng was unprecedentedly lively, Lin Nan abided by the agreement to Yuan Xi, distributed all the grain in the granary to the people in the city, and encouraged the people in the city in a timely manner to mobilize them to move their families.

Many of the people in Yecheng have lived here for generations, and they are not very willing to deviate, and it is thanks to Xun You, Xun Chen, Xu You, and Wang Wenjun to lead people to do ideological work hard, so as to persuade the people who are unwilling to migrate. (To be continued......)
