"Sir, according to the scout's report, more than 30,000 people in the Jin Kingdom have gathered to the border, and the grain and grass from all over the country have also begun to be transferred to the direction of Shucheng again."

I didn't expect the Zhi family to act so quickly, but the grain and grass stored in Shucheng were destroyed, and the grain and grass mobilized must be difficult to support.

It is better to first fortify the wall and clear the field to consume the grain of the Jin Zhijia, and then take the initiative to give up a part of the land when they are about to give up, lure them to continue to attack Yanzhou, and finally use elastic defense to close the door and fight the dog.

When the Jin Zhijia was in full swing to deploy, Yanzhou also began to buy grain and grass everywhere, and the purchase of most of the grain and grass on the market would inevitably cause grain prices to rise, which could also hit the Jin Zhijia.

In the majestic palace of the capital, a young man looked at the music in his hand and was very happy, "This brother-in-law of mine is really powerful, after the sneak attack on the logistics base of Shucheng, the war potential of the Jin State Zhi family will inevitably be greatly damaged." ”

"Besides, although the Zhi family is deeply rooted in the Jin Kingdom, the power of the four families of Han, Zhao, Wei, and Zhongli should not be underestimated, if the Zhi family is too damaged in Yanzhou, these families will inevitably take advantage of the fire to rob the Zhi family." Mrs. Xun looked at the Son of Heaven in front of him and said respectfully.

The Jin Kingdom can be described as "one super and many strong", and the Zhi family has always wanted to annex the other four families and other families, but considering that these families will have a cold feeling, it is difficult to do anything against any of them for the time being.

Even the monarch of the Jin Kingdom was afraid of the Zhi family, and when he went to the court to worship, he did not enter the court, and his sword went to the palace, and he praised it. It seems that the head of the Zhi family is the monarch of the Jin Kingdom.

However, Yanzhou is rich in products and prosperous in business, once the Zhijia takes Yanzhou, it will inevitably greatly strengthen the power of the Zhijia. Therefore, the Zhi family will inevitably not be supported by other families when they take Yanzhou, and maybe these four families may make trouble for the Zhi family.

Previously, the Zhi guy and Nanyan attacked Shuozhou without any benefit, and now they are eyeing Yanzhou owned by the Lu family.

An old man sat on a chair and looked at the map, and picked up the secret letter sent by his subordinates, "It's not so easy for the Zhi family to expand its power. Inform you to do something about the granary of the boundary bridge. ”

Jieqiao as the hub of the north-south transshipment of the Jin Zhijia, since the reserve Shucheng in the south was attacked, then the grain and grass must be mobilized from the north, and it is also the distribution center of grain and grass by taking advantage of the convenience of river transportation.

The Zhao family and the Zhongli family have always been allies, so the Zhao family's preparation for a sneak attack on the boundary bridge was also supported by the Zhongli family.

The troops who went to the Boundary Bridge to sneak attack were all elite or dead, after all, they couldn't give the Zhi family a handle on the surface. Lu Zhan didn't expect that there would be such a group of people in the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom to support him indirectly.

The soldiers guarding the boundary bridge covered the grain ships and convoys that traveled from south to north every day, and covered the customs clearance documents and various documents, and the continuous work of many days made these soldiers in a state of fatigue for a long time.

"It's okay to have a convoy with incomplete formalities today, right?" A soldier supports a tired body with a spear.

"Recruits are recruits, of course it is suspicious in the past, but at the moment there will be a big move in the south, urgently mobilizing grain and grass from the north to the south, and it is common for the time to be urgent and the procedures are not complete." This veteran began to mock the recruits, after all, he has been working for so many years, and this experience is still there.

The bridge was eerily quiet at night, except for the footsteps of the night patrol soldiers, except for the screams of bats as they flew in the night sky.

"Are you all ready?"

"Everything is ready to be continued, and it's time to do it."

The convoy with the problematic procedures began to act quietly, and the carriage that was originally loaded with grain and grass contained weapons and armor was hidden, after all, there were so many convoys that came and went every day that naturally they would not be carefully checked.

Looking at the brothers who were dressed in armor and holding sharp knives that were shining in the cold light, the leader made a gesture.

"Huh? Do you see that there seems to be a bunch of dark shadows approaching below? ”

"Maybe it's a bat or something like that, it can't be your eyes, I'll take a look."

Looking down through the moonlight, the soldier's eyes were almost straight. These black shadows were all clad in armor that reflected silver light in the moonlight, why did these well-armed soldiers appear here quietly?

Now there is only one viable explanation, these people are here to sneak attack.

"Enemy attack! Alert! The shrill bell rang at the same time, and the sleeping defenders rushed to the city gate with their weapons in hand, without thinking about putting on their clothes.

The dead soldiers who had begun to assemble knew that their actions had been revealed, but they had no choice but to fire them.

"Brothers, kill!"

The hastily assembled soldiers were beheaded by the dead in a daze, and the balance of war tipped in favor of the sneak attackers.

Countless dead men rushed to the city gates, accompanied by the last soldier guarding the gates, lying in pools of blood.

The heavy gate was slowly opened, and the people on standby outside the city saw that the gate was forced and urged the horses under them to rush into the city. The sound of horses' hooves from outside the city intensified the collapse of the city's defenders, and many soldiers became prisoners in a daze, and when they looked at the flames that lit up half of the night sky in front of them, they knew that the grain and grass had been burned.

"Very good, we can withdraw when the operation is complete."

With the fire of the boundary bridge, most of the grain and grass prepared by the Zhi family for the battle were lost. Only a small part of the grain and grass transported from the north reached the border between the Jin Kingdom and Yanzhou.

Lu Zhan, who was discussing countermeasures with the generals in the barracks, suddenly received a letter from Mo Zhu, saying that the Jieqiao, the grain and grass transfer station of the Zhijia of the Jin Kingdom, had been attacked by unknown militants, and that more than ninety percent of the grain and grass stored in the Jieqiao to be transported to the south had been lost overnight.

"Who has such a big deal to do to the Zhi family in the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom." Lu Zhan picked up the letter in his hand and handed it to Duan Xiaohan.

After Duan Xiaohan looked at it, he made a guess, it was very likely that it was secretly done by other families in the Jin Dynasty. The boundary bridge where the accident happened happened to be not far from the Zhao family and Zhong Li's home. So it's very likely that these two families did it.

Duan Xiaohan can see it, and Zhijia can also see it. However, at present, it seems that the attackers have not left any evidence, and now the Zhi family's action against Yanzhou is already a certainty, so they can only swallow this bitter fruit.

"First Shucheng was attacked, and now it's the boundary bridge accident. Take me to Yanzhou and then turn back to clean up the troublesome Zhao family and Zhongli family. By the way, how long will the current grain and grass be enough to support 80,000 people? ”

"Report to my lord, the current grain and grass plus the delivery from all over the country is expected to last for about three months. Considering the approaching winter and the wartime grain and grass will increase."

"I just want results.".

"Two and a half months is the limit."

"Very good, this time it will be led by the young master's Zhiyu personally, and there are only more than 10,000 people in Yanzhou, close to eight to one. I'm going to decide on this Yanzhou. ”
