After the night attack and seizure of the city, the private soldiers of these Yanzhou families all issued weapons under the orders of their respective masters. This wall has been broken, there is no point in continuing to fight in the streets of the city, and the number of Yanzhou troops must be more than their own private soldiers, if the family is defeated, it will be over.

"My lord, our army has disarmed the private soldiers of these families, but the garrison outside this Ye City still has about 6,000 troops there."

After the previous scouts investigated, they found that there were still 6,000 foreign troops outside Yecheng, because they were worried that these foreign soldiers would be cholera after entering Yecheng, so the family let these foreign soldiers be stationed outside.

"There are only 6,000 people there, send a team with muskets and fire a few shots for them." As he spoke, Lu Zhan asked the musketeers to follow a group of troops to the barracks outside Yecheng to deter the soldiers. If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't spare their hands, these people would be directly made dumplings.

When the sky was just getting light, Lu Zhan sat in the Taishou Mansion and looked at the night that was cut by the morning light.

"This Yecheng is now under our control, but the treasury of this Yecheng is very empty, and the materials of this Yecheng are basically transported to Qinzhou according to the accounts." The soldiers sent to the treasury opened the treasury and found that the food and supplies in it were pitifully small, so they grabbed the officials in charge of the treasury and asked.

It's over, there are not enough supplies in this Yecheng, if Zhiyu comes with a large army, he will be closed and beaten.

"Our grain route is not too far from Qinzhou, this Zhiyu led the army to cut off the grain route, and we will be defeated without a fight." Lu Zhan thought that this Yecheng was rich in products, and the warehouses inside should be full of grain. But this Zhiyu probably really wants to be a shrinking turtle, the treasury of this Yecheng has been emptied, and the food in Qinzhou is estimated to be enough for the defenders to eat for more than a year.

"Don't worry, my lord, the families of this Yecheng are very fat, so it's better to let them dedicate it to us. This military regulation says that the masses are not taken with a stitch and a thread, but which families have money in their hands and which ones are not people's fat and people's ointment. Chen Zhuang rolled his eyes, there must be a lot of food in the hands of these families.

"It makes sense, it is estimated that according to the Zhao family's plan, this Yecheng will definitely not let me occupy it, let's talk to them first, if they understand what we mean, everything will be easy, if they are not willing to break the bank and avoid disasters."

"It's time for their family to come to an end."

Just when Lu Zhan personally went to the door to discuss the food problem with these families, Zhiyu, who was far away in Qinzhou, thought that Lu Zhan was still busy crossing the river.

"Strategist, how did you say that it took so much time for Lu Zhan to cross the river, according to the tonnage of the ship, the Yanzhou army is almost 100,000 people." Zhiyu asked the military advisor beside him in a playful tone, this Qinzhou is now the same as an iron bucket, plus the mountains of grain piled up in the treasury.

Although there are no elite divisions in Qinzhou City now, it is still more than enough to defend the city. In addition, the coalition army of the Zhao family was blocked in the Shang Nest, and the Yanzhou army was only 30,000 at most. Now Zhiyu is firmly sitting on the Diaoyutai.

"The young master, but this Lu Zhan is also a well-known general in the world, and his subordinates always feel that this Lu Zhan is making a false shot, maybe his purpose is not Qinzhou." The military advisor took the feather fan again and shook it gently, and the feeling of being kept in the dark was really stuffy.

Zhiyu also knew what Lu Zhan might have planned, but there was no news from the scouts.

Footsteps suddenly came from outside the originally silent council hall, and a staggering soldier ran over, "Report to the young master, this Yecheng has been lost!" ”

This sentence spread to the ears of everyone present like a thunderbolt from the sky, and the reason why Qinzhou is known as the southern gate of the wisdom family is that Qinzhou can be used to shield the city behind.

This Yecheng is an important town in Jizhou, and its economic status is even more important than Quwo, an important town in the north where the Zhi family was born, and the most populous and rich place in Hebei fell into the hands of Lu Zhan.

Zhi Yuteng stood up and grabbed the collar of the soldier who came to report the news. At this time, Zhiyu did not have the demeanor of a child of the family at all, because the loss of Yecheng was not only a military but also a huge political blow.

The soldier who was caught by the collar was a little breathless, "Young master, this is the news from General Gao Shao, saying that Yecheng has been lost, and now General Gao Shao has retreated to Changshan County." ”

Ji-woo let go of the collar of the messenger soldier and sat on the ground.

The surrounding advisors and generals were silent, and no one made a sound. At this time, whether to lead the troops back to Yecheng or continue to stick to Qinzhou depends on what the young master plans now.

"Military division, this Yecheng is an important town in Hebei, should we divide our troops to recapture it, or take the main force to kill it back." After being silent for a long time, Zhiyu finally opened his mouth to ask the generals' opinions.

"This Yecheng must be recaptured, the news of the loss of this Yecheng will inevitably shake the hearts of the army, and now there are still many soldiers in the army from Yecheng, and a large number of family members have been captured by Lu Zhan."

The military advisor was worried that the soldiers from Yecheng would mutinier because their hometown was occupied and their families were captured. There are nearly 10,000 soldiers in this Yecheng, and their military spirit must be stabilized.

"That's right, but how many soldiers should we take to retake Yecheng." At this moment, Zhiyu knows that his current mood is not suitable for commanding the army, and the key now is how to distribute the troops. What should be done with the soldiers from Yecheng, whether to collect the weapons and detain them first, or treat these soldiers as usual.

After thinking for a while, the military advisor said, "This Lu Zhan must have crossed the Yellow River to directly attack Yecheng, the grain in this Yecheng is now in the treasury of Qinzhou, as long as we cut off the grain road, we can force Lu Zhan to fight with me, and lose the support of the city wall, so our chances of victory will be a lot more." ”

Although it is rumored that Lu Zhan's Yanzhou army has mysterious weapons, the wisdom family with the advantage in numbers may not have no chance of winning.

The Yecheng soldiers stationed in Qinzhou woke up to find that their comrades had suddenly rushed into their tents and confiscated all their weapons, even their armor.

"Hey! What are you doing here? We're comrades-in-arms. ”

"That is to say, why did you guys disarm us, and whose orders did you take?"

A small number of soldiers from Yecheng who reacted confronted these people who came to disarm with the weapons in their hands.

"This is the young master's order, don't put down your weapons and kill again." An officer on a war horse pointed at the soldiers with a whip in his hand.

Hearing that it was the young master's order and the order to kill, these soldiers who finally tried to resist also surrendered their weapons.
