"What are you talking about, this Lu Zhan bypassed Qinzhou and directly occupied Yecheng." After Zhao He heard the news, he touched his white beard and couldn't help but shake his head again and again.

This is quite different from Zhao He's previous plan to divide the Zhi family, and this Yecheng is a land that the Zhao family has been worried about for a long time.

Compared with the battle situation in the south, the main force of the Zhao family is now facing off against the main force in the north of the Zhijia family in the direction of the boundary bridge, and there are continuous small-scale battles between them, but the battle of the big estimate has not broken out.

Neither side dared to put the main forces on the battlefield, and now it was the moment when the battle was decided. The outcome of this battle will determine the ownership of the Jin Kingdom.

The Hu people in the north saw that the troops on the border were constantly being transferred to the battlefields in the south, and the defense on the border was also relaxed. The movements of these Hu people have also become more and more frequent, from looting the lone border people to crowds of grass valleys.

"This Lu Zhan in the south is already worrying, and the Hu people in the north don't intrude on the Yan Land in the northeast, they all come to the border of my Jin Kingdom to fight the autumn wind and the grass valley." Zhao He tapped his forehead with his fingers, whether the Zhao family will carry forward from now on or be lonely depends on what he should do.

Maybe the Hu people in the north are not necessarily a threat, these Hu people are just asking for money, as long as they pay for these Hu knights.

"Hmph, send someone to contact a few leaders outside the Saiwai, and say that my Zhao family is willing to spend money to invite them to go over to fight, and ask them if they are willing. In terms of this Lu Zhan, let our people inquire about the news and see how the famous beauty in Hebei is, there is a big difference between what we get and what we give him. Zhao He suddenly had another plan, if these Hu people attacked from the weak point of the Zhi family, this Zhi family would definitely not sit back and watch their rear be attacked.

The leaders of the Hu people in the north are also willing to cooperate with the Zhao family, no matter how you look at it, this is a stable and unlost deal, but some people can be exchanged for so much wealth.

The families of Yecheng came to this familiar and unfamiliar Yecheng Taishou Mansion one after another at noon, and they have been here a few times before, but the banner of the Taishou Mansion was still Jin and Zhizi, and now it has become a Lu character.

After seeing the Yecheng family arrive, he cleared his throat, "Lu Mou first arrived in Yecheng, and he was not familiar with the place. Polite words Lu doesn't want to say more, since this lone army went deep into Yecheng, the supply of grain and grass is very difficult, and I hope you can lend us a part temporarily, if you win the battle plus interest, all will be repaid, if Lu unfortunately loses, the grain and grass owed to you Lu will also be returned as usual. Lu used his net worth as a guarantee. ”

The families sitting in the hall looked at each other, and none of them wanted to be the first bird. If Lu Zi is defeated, this Zhi family will definitely liquidate himself in the future. But if he can't get any grain and grass and baggage, this Lu Zhan will directly ask for his own head.

"Why don't we give a little bit of money and food, and see if it's feasible."

"I think it's okay, this money should be spent to buy peace, and even if the Zhi family calls back, it won't be compared to the little money and food we gave Lu Zhan."

The families of Yecheng have been whispering, and Lu Zhan, who is sitting in the master's seat, also knows that these families of Yecheng can't give much to themselves. Now it seems that Lu Zhan is like a begging for food, and how many things he can get depends on the faces of these families.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a somewhat fat figure in the hall stood up, "Zhen is not willing to give 30,000 taels of food and 100,000 taels of silver for military purposes." ”

After hearing this person's words, everyone, including Lu Zhan, was taken aback. Several people around him who had a good relationship with his family kept signaling this man surnamed Zhen with their eyes.

"If you make a mistake with this treasure, it's dangerous." Although Lu Zhan was very surprised, he still pretended to be calm and asked the middle-aged man. With such a big effort to reinforce himself, if he loses, then his good days will come to an end.

"This icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow, once the treasure is pressed on the side with a small chance of winning, the reward will be much richer. Besides, I don't think Lord Lu's chances of winning are as small as they seem. The man surnamed Zhen didn't seem to be worried about the failure of the Lu Exhibition.

Most of the rest of the families did not dare to gamble, and they preferred to win steadily. In addition to the Zhen family's strong support, the rest of the family was directly and symbolically willing to lend Lu Zhan some food.

After sending off the rest of the families, Lu Zhan left the man surnamed Zhen alone.

"I don't know what to call it?"

"The contemptible Zhen Wu is just an ordinary businessman, I don't know what the lord is doing with the villain."

This Zhen Wu put his posture so low, and at a glance, he knew that this person was not simple. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, this Zhen Wu is willing to invest in himself, and there will definitely be some intentions.

"If Lu wins the Zhi family, the Zhen family can come to me for anything in the future."

After hearing Lu Zhan's words, the man also raised the corners of his mouth slightly. Investing in land and business can only make 10 times as much money, but if you invest in politicians, you can make more than 100 times the profits.

At present, Lu Zhan is just a slightly powerful figure, and he invested when he was still young, and the future returns are endless.

"Don't forget the Zhen family when Lord Lu soars into the sky in the future, how can Jinling be a thing in the pool, Zhen believes that Lord Lu will be a big role that can shake the world in the future."

Zhen Wu's words lit the flame in Lu Zhan's heart, this Zhen family thinks so highly of themselves, so they have to fight for themselves.

Just after receiving the money and grain from the families in Yecheng, the scouts also came with the news that Zhiyu had cut off the grain channel. The current grain reserves are only enough for one month, and now they can only take the initiative to open up the grain route.

"Pick up the soldiers and prepare to face the battle, this field combat is our forte, let us use muskets to teach them how to behave. The dragon fights in the wild, and its blood is yellow. What happened to Ji-woo, who lost the turtle shell, the opponent of the eagle. ”

Lu Zhan had no choice but to leave some soldiers to stay in Yecheng, otherwise he would rebel as soon as he left Yecheng, and there would be no way to retreat.

More than 20,000 Yanzhou troops faced Zhiyu's army of 40,000 people fifty miles outside Yecheng.

"Huh? How did this Zhiyu only bring 40,000 people, according to the latest news, this Zhiyu family has at least more than 60,000 troops in the south, except for some people left in Qinzhou, this Zhiyu should have about 50,000 people in his hands. When Lu Zhan heard the news from the scouts, he thought to himself that there were still 10,000 people who would not go to attack Yecheng.

"The 10,000 people should be soldiers from Yecheng, and these soldiers should all be taken into custody."
