Two hours later, the vast majority of the captured Han officers and soldiers chose to join the rebel army and become part of the Shandong rebel army, while the rest took off their battle clothes and armor and became ordinary people, staying in the city to build city defenses for the time being, and once the city gates were opened, they would return to their hometowns and fend for themselves.

At noon, martial law was ended in the city, and most of the soldiers of the rebels patrolling the streets withdrew to the barracks, and only a group of soldiers were deployed in important streets to prevent ruffians and hooligans in the city from taking the opportunity to make trouble, smash and loot, and disrupt the order in the city.

Because the Yidu Prefecture Jiedu made the Yamen absorb the Han officials who stayed in the Yamen in the original Yidu, they were more familiar with various situations in the city, and after the Jiedu made the Yamen issue several orders in a row, the order in the city was quickly restored.

At noon on the same day, invited by the local officials, Shen Jin has cooperated with the internal line of the development of Huiyi in the north for several years, and invited almost all the wealthy gentry and big families in Yidu City into the yamen of the Jiedu Envoy, and dozens of people gathered together to discuss major matters.

After some greetings, Shen Jin got straight to the point, the Jin people could not invade the south, and retreated from the Yangtze River to the Yellow River, and now they are even more burdened by the new emperor in the north, bluntly said that from the current situation, Wan Yanliang will concentrate on a big battle with the new court of Liaoyang in the area of Zhending Mansion and Hejian Mansion, and the affairs of Shandong have no time to take care of it, and at this time it is a good opportunity to break away from the rule of the Jin people, but if you want to really succeed, one must appease other states and counties in Shandong, and the other must take Jinan Mansion on Linyi and Shandong East Road, after the entire Shandong East Road is safe and stable, Lead the entire Shandong to join the Song Dynasty, and will be able to make miraculous achievements through the ages, leaving a name in history!

When everyone was panicked and didn't know what Shen Jin meant, Shen Jin told them that the Shandong Righteous Army had taken a fancy to their prestige and financial resources in Shandong, and hoped to pull them into the Righteous Army to participate in great things.

Of course, Shen Jin may have promised them benefits, willing to join the Righteous Army, and those who can provide money and food for the Righteous Army, after pacifying the whole of Shandong, will be awarded any official position in the prefecture and county except the chief official according to the amount of money and food subsidized to the Righteous Army, and the term of office will be five years.

The word official is the lifelong pursuit of countless people and countless families, between power and money, if you can only choose one of the two, without exception, almost everyone will choose power, and give up money, after all, you have the right to have the opportunity to get money, but you have money but you may not be able to get power, but it will lead to death.

Since the new rulers took the initiative to invite them to the door, if they didn't give face, they would only have butcher's knives waiting for them, and after living for so many years and experiencing rounds of war, everyone knows how big the price of non-cooperation is, so when they saw that the officials of the left-behind mansion were personally dispatched to invite them, they had no room to refuse, and it was the same at this time.

The official position promised by Shen Jin may be useful if it is in peacetime, but at this time, all kinds of rebels are swarming, and if you dare to take office if you get an official position? I'm afraid that before I reach my destination, I will be killed by bandits and rebels halfway.

Even if the official position is useless to them, at this time they have to choose to join one by one, and they can survive in decades of war and turmoil until now, they all know a word, and those who know the times are handsome!

Besides, the Shandong Righteous Army is still reasonable, and there is no barbaric killing and looting, if they really want to kill people and rob them of all their food wealth, they will not have much room to fight back, how can dozens of family guards fight with tens of thousands of righteous soldiers? If you really want to fight, I'm afraid that in the end, there won't even be any bones left.

One said that he hoped that tens of thousands of righteous soldiers could get everyone's help, and the gentry and big families donated generously, some donated money, some donated food, and some donated cloth, different types, and how much.

Shen Jin saw that the wealthy gentry were so cooperative, and immediately praised them for understanding the righteousness, and said that after receiving the donation, they would be granted official positions immediately.

Leave everyone to eat a coarse tea and light meal together before letting them go.

On the same day, a group of wealthy gentry sent money, grain and materials to the Yamen of the Jiedu Envoy according to the donation agreement.

After the money and grain were delivered, the yamen immediately sent the empty names of the officials to the people's mansions one by one, telling them that after determining the candidates for official positions, they could report their names to the Jiedu envoy to the yamen for the record, and as for when to take office, it was all voluntary.

On the morning of the next day, the Jiedu envoy Yamen received many reports, and at the same time, a wealthy gentry approached Shen Jin, expressing their willingness to donate more money and grain, and make more efforts for the Shandong Righteous Army to quell the civil unrest in Shandong as soon as possible and maintain the safety of Yidu Mansion.

Regarding this matter, Shen Jin naturally had no reason to refuse.

When they had brought in the money and food again, a new official certificate was sent to them.

Shen Jin used money and food donations and official gifts to tie many wealthy gentry in Yidu City to the Shandong Righteous Army, as long as Yidu City is not lost, they should be able to solve part of the problem of food and clothing.

After the gentry were annexed, order in the city was quickly restored, except that the four gates of the southeast, northwest, and northwest were still closed, which was not much different from the past.

A few days after taking Yidu Mansion, the spies outside the city sent a message: the Yidu Fu reinforcements who rescued Dengzhou did not enter Dengzhou, so they returned the same way, the specific reason is not clear, at this time it is less than 100 miles away from Yidu, and within two days, it should be able to return to Yidu.

Upon hearing this news, Jiedu made the yamen, the left government, and the right government discuss the meeting together, and there was a big dispute over how to deal with the support army.

Luo Cong, the commander of the right government, proposed to take the initiative to attack and annihilate this support army outside the city, first, it can show the prestige of the Shandong Righteous Army, and after the prestige spreads, it will be of great benefit to the righteous army from all walks of life to come to defect, and then there will be people to preach for the Shandong Righteous Army, and they don't need to send people out to boast about themselves, and the second is that there are more than 2,000 prisoners received by the righteous army in the city, if this support army is put back into the city, whether it is killed or persuaded to surrender, it will eventually bury hidden dangers, and it is better to annihilate it directly in the field!

Yao Chang, the commander of Zuofu, did not agree to fight with the enemy outside the city, at present, only a few of the rebels have really fought in the army, most of them are the guards recruited in Huaixi before, they have never fought, once they lose outside the city, the army is scattered, it will be a catastrophe, for the sake of safety, it is recommended to introduce reinforcements into the city, gather and surround it, and then persuade to surrender, if you are willing to surrender everything is good to say, if you refuse to surrender, insist on being a lackey of the northern barbarians, kill it directly, kill the chicken and make an example, you can also use this to warn these prisoners in the city.

The two had their own opinions, and neither could convince the other.

In the end, Shen Jin spoke, he chose to stand on Yao Chang's side, only a few of the soldiers of the righteous army had fought in battle, and once they lost rashly out of the city, it would indeed be greatly disadvantageous to the righteous army. Also, the news that the Shandong Righteous Army has taken Yidu Mansion has not yet spread, because the Righteous Army in the city is not ready to go out of the city to fight, if the news leaks and spreads to Linyi or Jinan, it will be unfavorable to the current Shandong Righteous Army.

After another dispute, Luo Cong gave up his original insistence and agreed to Yao Chang's strategy to defend against the enemy, and the dispute ended.

Later, on how to deploy to meet the enemy, Yao Chang and Luo Cong discussed for a long time.

The reinforcements should not have known that the city had changed hands, and if they returned to the city and found that the four gates were closed, they would be suspicious, so they had to find a reason to convince them that it was absolutely reasonable to close the gates, and in addition to that, they would have to lead them to a specific gate, so that they could arrange their forces in advance and gather around them.

After discussing it for a long time, there is no absolute perfection that can make the reinforcements fully believe in it and obediently walk into the trap.

In the end, Shen Jin, who had been sitting for a long time, suddenly said, why can't it be said that Yidu City had been attacked by the rebels, so he had to close the four gates to prevent them from attacking again? Using the pretext of an enemy attack, you can easily lure reinforcements to the gate you want to let go, and I believe that even if they are unhappy, they will not fail to enter the city through the designated gate.

As soon as Luo Cong and Yao Chang heard this, they suddenly realized that the art of war has clouds, virtual and real, real and virtual, why didn't they think of it!

The three of them discussed it for a while, and thought that this proposal was feasible, as long as the rebels defending the city all changed into the armor and weapons of the original defenders of Yidu City, and one or two officials came forward, the reinforcements would have to believe in the enemy's attack, and they would inevitably enter the ambush obediently according to the requirements of the rebels.

After the discussion, the three of them immediately went their separate ways, Shen Jin looked for a trustworthy subordinate official, while Luo Cong and Yao Chang hurriedly lost ground to observe the terrain near the four gates, and studied the deployment of troops and the design of traps and ambushes.

Beginning the next day, the 2,000 rebels defending the city all changed into the armor and weapons of the original forbidden army, and another 6,000 rebels deployed near the west gate, moving all the residents within 100 zhang, and then using the west gate as a reference, a three-layer circular defensive position was arranged, wanting to encircle all the reinforcements in the west of the city.

Two days later, spies came to report that 3,000 reinforcements had rushed back to the vicinity of Yidu City.

In the evening of the same day, after the sun had set, the reinforcements rushed to the east gate, and when they saw that the city gate was closed, they immediately began to call the gate.

"What's going on? Why not open the door? ”

"You went to Dengzhou to quell the chaos and came back? How's it flat? How many rioters have you killed? ”

"You don't care how much Lao Tzu killed! Hurry up and open the door, let's spend the night in the city? ”

"I'm sorry, there is an order from the left-behind mansion, after the sun sets, all the four gates of the east, west, north and south are not allowed to be opened! If you want to go into town, why don't you come back early? I see that you are not breathing, this way is very leisurely, since you are not in a hurry to return to the city, tomorrow morning the west city gate will be opened, and then enter the city! ”

"Fuck you! Hurry up and open the door for Lao Tzu, so that Lao Tzu can sit under the city all night? ”

"There is an order from the left-behind house, you don't want to enter the east gate, if you want to enter, go to the west gate, it's useless for you to scold, you have to be frozen under the city!"

"Why are the gates closed for no reason?"

"This is going to ask you, aren't you very good, are you vying to go to Dengzhou to quell the chaos? You have not been in chaos, but you have let the rebellious army and people run down to the city of Yidu, and the city gate is closed, it is all thanks to you! Honestly wait for dawn in the city! ”
