Chapter Eighty-Three: The Beginning of the War

Zhiyu sat in the gorgeous room and drank the wine handed over by Mei Ji next to him, "Let's see how I broke this Yanzhou Lu Zhan, I heard that the Son of Heaven rewarded his brother-in-law Lu Zhan with some jade antiques that are very exquisite, and when I break Yanzhou, I will take those antiques and jade from Lu Zhan and give them to you." Ji-woo's hand swept across Mi-hee's face.

"Then the slave family is waiting for the young master to give me the jade ornaments rewarded by the Son of Heaven." As he spoke, he poured Ji-woo another full glass.

Just as he was looking at the mouth, a man dressed as a strategist knocked on the door in a panic.

"Who is it, don't you know that this young master is in trouble? What the hell is going on, there is something to say. Ji-woo took the wine glass handed over by Miki and drank it down.

"The young master is not good! Let's come out and talk about it in detail. The strategist said anxiously.

At this moment, Zhiyu finally sensed that something was wrong, this strategist had followed the Zhijia for many years, and it stands to reason that he would not be so out of shape.

Ji Woo pushed open the door and looked at the strategist beside him, the original image of being addicted to alcohol and decadence had disappeared, and turned into a ruthless temperament.

Ji Woo asked in a cold voice, "What happened to make you so flustered."

"Back to the young master, the Jingsai cavalry that had previously pursued and attacked the Yanzhou cavalry in Baicheng was ambushed during the pursuit......" The strategist said heavily, as if he had a fish bone stuck in his throat.

At this moment, Zhiyu was finally a little impatient, "What the hell is wrong with our Zhijia's ace Jingsai cavalry." ”

"It's over, it's all over."

"What you say is all over, who is all over?" Ji-woo grabbed the strategist's shoulder with his hand and began to shake it.

"Lu Zhan set up an ambush in Luolong Ridge, none of the 6,000 Jingsai cavalry came back to find more than 5,000 corpses on the spot, and the rest should have been captured alive." After the strategist told Ji-woo about this thunderbolt on a sunny day, he almost didn't let Ji-woo fall to the ground.

These Jingsai cavalry are the hearts and minds of the Zhi family, these elites of a hundred battles have been damaged all of a sudden, even if they defeat Yanzhou, they will inevitably be greatly punished when they return home. At that time, even the position of the young master may be deprived.

The top priority now is how to make amends, if there is no useful achievement to make up for the merits, then the next messenger will tie himself up and send him home, if it is worse, it may be a head.

"We have to fight back as soon as possible, otherwise it will be unthinkable." Ji-woo took the strategist to sit on the futon and began to discuss countermeasures.

"Let's press this news for the time being, this must not be transmitted home, nor can other soldiers know the news, you know the consequences of the army's shaking heart."

"Understood, I'll arrange it."

The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. The news that was supposed to be prepared for a blockade spread overnight, and the news of the elimination of the Jingsai cavalry, the main force of the ace, came to these soldiers.

"Have you heard, the Jingsai cavalry of the Zhi family has been wiped out." A soldier said to his comrades beside him with a rice bowl.

"But no, you see that those people haven't returned to the camp since they went out in pursuit. I think the rumors are true nine times out of ten, and even the Jingsai cavalry has folded in, so let's make plans early. ”

"Yes, yes, I don't want to throw my life away in Yanzhou, I just have a daughter, and I want to watch her marry beautifully." I can't afford to leave this life here. ”

Similar words spread quickly in the barracks, and then these words became more and more outrageous, and even developed into ghosts and gods.

Coupled with the news of the shortage of military rations and the rumors of other families, a small number of people took advantage of the vast night to slip away.

"It's a strange story that we were the attacking side, but now we are the one who is panicking. Before the battle began, morale plummeted to such an extent that more than a dozen deserters were executed yesterday alone. Ji-woo angrily knocked on the table.

After calming down, Zhiyu commanded the generals to prepare for the first attack on Yanzhou, and more than a dozen fortresses outside Yanzhou were broken one by one, except for the county seat under his rule, the rest of the fortifications were taken.

After the city wall of the county town was urgently reinforced, these soldiers of the Jin State Zhi family, who had no fighting spirit, were fighting passively. The abandoned walled city was deliberately given to Zhiyu by Lu Zhan, and this trick was to lure the enemy deeper.

"How did the combat effectiveness of the Yanzhou army become so weak, and these walled cities were taken by us so easily." Zhiyu, who was sitting on a white horse, said to the strategist beside him.

"Young master, I always feel that this is Lu Zhan playing a trick on us. And young master, you see, although there are many walled cities abandoned by Lu Zhan, they are not occupied by important places, just like a walled city next to Qiaoyang County, where more than 600 people occupy the natural danger and have been resisting our attack. Besides, none of the county seats have been defeated. The strategist who followed Zhiyu said worriedly.

"What the military advisor said is very true, but as long as we capture Yanzhou City, the other remaining county towns and fortresses will all fall to the wind."

In the official office of Yanzhou City, Lu Zhan commanded everyone to start arranging and deploying in full swing, and the food supply and consumption of daily necessities such as salt, oil, and firewood in the city were all carried out according to the rationing system.

"Lord, the government sent someone to deliver a message saying that the firewood, rice, oil, and salt in the house are enough, but the people in the house are now panicking, hoping that the lord can go home to see it." Duan Xiaohan stood beside Lu Zhan and said.

That's right, as the saying goes: a man who doesn't care about his family is not a good man. I should also go home to take a look, after all, I only go home once or twice in so many days.

As a commander, he naturally has to lead by example, if he doesn't be a representative, then how can he let his subordinates work hard for him.

"Young master, you're back, sister, she wants to kill you, and the whole person has lost weight." originally

^0^ Remember for a second

Xiao Yezi, who was doing things, suddenly saw Lu Zhan come back, and told Lu Zhan about what happened in the house with joy.

"Young master, you know my sister, she heard that Miss Zhang has been accompanying you to deal with affairs in the official office, and the sour smell has gone from the backyard to the front door."

"It's really my fault, I want to see what Shuang'er looks like, will it make me feel distressed."

With a sense of guilt, Lu Zhan crept towards Jing Nianshuang's courtyard with Xiao Yezi. Before entering the courtyard, Lu Zhan asked, a scent.

Well? Didn't you say that you were all hungry and thin, what was the smell of the yard now.

Lu Zhan grabbed Xiao Yezi's ear, "That thing that eats inside and outside will actually lie to me." Do you smell the smell without it, it's like you're hungry and thin? ”

At this moment, Xiao Yezi was like a kitten, "Young master, I was wrong, in fact, my sister is ...... Turning selfish thoughts into food, I've been able to eat more and more recently. ”

If I don't take care of myself anymore, I might be fat and become a pig in the future.

Dear, this chapter is over, happy reading! ^0^
