"I've seen the Marquis of Jin." Zhang He hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Lu Bu cordially helped Zhang He up and said: "Jun Yi chose to take refuge in Ben Hou, Ben Hou is very pleased, if Ye Cheng can be broken this time, Jun Yi will be indispensable." ”

Zhang He was secretly happy when he heard this, and hugged his fists and said: "Thank you Marquis Jin, I will definitely try my best to help Marquis Jin seize the outer city." ”

"There's General Lao Zhang." Lu Bu nodded.

Zhang He has a lot of prestige in the Jizhou Army, and if Zhang He comes forward, it will be easier to collect the soldiers of the Jizhou Army.

When all the troops entered the outer city, they charged towards the rest of the city gates, and the city gates were suddenly plunged into battle.

North Gate, under the frantic attack of the Bingzhou Army, the Jizhou Army of the North Gate was struggling to support, at this time Zhang He appeared, after some persuasion, many generals chose to surrender, when they have the advantage of the city, they may be able to be with the Bingzhou Army for a long time, but after the Merge State Army entered the city, their advantage is not there.

In the inner city, the news of Zhang He's rebellion at the East Gate soon reached Feng Ji's hands, as the person in charge of Jizhou's intelligence, Feng Ji still has some means.

"My lord, it's not good, Zhang He launched a rebellion at the east gate and took refuge in the Marquis of Jin, and now the enemy army has entered the outer city."

Feng Ji's complexion changed and changed, at this time Zhang He's prestige in the army Feng Ji is clear, it is for this reason that when dealing with Xu You, he did not involve Zhang He in it, but also for the war in Jizhou, what he didn't expect was that Zhang He betrayed Jizhou at such a critical moment, all this made him a little at a loss, if the outer city is lost, it will be difficult to block the state army just by relying on the inner city.

"Prepare your horses." Feng Ji shouted.

Yuan Shao, who was asleep, woke up for the guards, and the unhappiness in his heart can be imagined.

However, after listening to the news brought by Feng Ji, Yuan Shao suddenly fell asleep, Yecheng is his foundation, if Yecheng is lost, he can only defeat Qingzhou at this time, he does not think that there are other counties in Jizhou that can resist the elite Bingzhou army.

"Shameless child, Zhang He dared to betray Ben Hou, and ordered all the ministries in the inner city to take strict precautions, and told Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Xu You and others to go to the Hou Mansion to discuss matters." Yuan Shao immediately ordered.

In such a late night, under the unclear situation, it is categorically not to open the inner door to meet the Jizhou army in the outer city, and there are not a few Jizhou troops in the outer city, even after the merging state army enters the city, it will not be able to be pacified in a short time.

In the hall of the Hou Mansion, the lights were bright, but the strategists who went to the Hou Mansion were preoccupied, if the outer city was lost, it would mean that Jizhou had completely lost its advantage, and they did not think that the inner city could block the edge of the state army.

Glancing around at everyone, Yuan Shao snorted coldly: "Why is Xu Yu not here?" ”

"Ye Hou, the people of the Xu family said that Lord Xu is unwell and cannot come."

"He is in poor health, and now Jizhou is in a critical moment, but he is playing tricks in front of Benhou." Yuan Shao said dissatisfied, even now, he still did not suspect Xu You, mainly because the two monarchs and ministers had been for many years, and he knew Xu You very well.

After Feng Ji heard the news, he frowned, he knew very well what kind of character Xu You was, Mo said that because of a little fight between the Feng family and the Xu family, it was no matter how big the hatred, and now Yecheng is in danger, Xu You will also abandon the past grudges, and first work together to stabilize Jizhou, which is also an opportunity to enhance Xu You's influence in front of Yuan Shao.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Zhang He, the guard of the East Gate, betrayed Jizhou and opened the city gate to welcome the Bingzhou army into the city, and now the outer city is in the midst of a war. Yuan Shaodao.

The strategists in the field immediately discussed, the impact of this news on them was too great, among them, who did not have their own family, they would naturally think about what was behind them.

"My lord, my subordinates think that they should order the guards of the gates of the inner city to guard the gates, and no matter who goes, they must not open the gates." Guo Tudao.

Yuan Shao understood Guo Tu's intention after a little thought, which could greatly avoid the surprise attack of the state army on the inner city.

"The lord should go to the army to appease the generals and soldiers, there are more than 20,000 elite people in the outer city, once the state army and our army are in a stalemate in the outer city, the Jizhou army in the inner city will be dispatched, and the state army will not be able to repel it." Feng Ji Dao.

The strategist said a lot of suggestions, but there are very few that can really come in handy, the value of the existence of the strategist is to give advice, and to make advice itself is a very easy job, it is one thing to say it, the main public is not another thing, if it is used, congratulations, from now on the status of the boat rises, it doesn't hurt not to use, next time continue to work hard.

After everyone left, Feng Ji lowered his voice and said, "Lord, is there a problem with Xu You?" ”

A haze flashed in Yuan Shao's eyes, "Have you ever explored clearly?" ”

Feng Ji said: "Zhang He's betrayal, his subordinates guessed that there was Xu You's figure, Zhang He originally became a general in the Jizhou Army under Xu You's strong advocacy, and now Zhang He's sudden betrayal, if it has nothing to do with Xu You, it is impossible." ”

"It's not good, if Xu Yu betrays, he will definitely respond to the state army entering the city at this time." Yuan Shao exclaimed.

Feng Ji also figured out the joints, his face changed greatly, he had no doubt that once Xu You chose to join Lu Bu, it would bring much turmoil to Jizhou, not only in the officialdom of Jizhou, Xu You also had a lot of influence in the army, and there were not a few families in the city who secretly supported the Xu family.

Xu You learned that the news that the Bingzhou army had entered the outer city was faster than the Jifeng, and the Bingzhou army entered the outer city under Zhang He's response, which meant that Yuan Shao's dominance in Jizhou was shaken, and the rest depended on the strength of the family in the city.

This time Xu You chose the most trustworthy Zhao family and Zhang family, the heads of these two families usually obey Xu You's words, and Zhang Fan of the Zhang family and Zhao Xu of the Zhao family are military generals in the army, and they have received a lot of care from Xu You.

Of course, there is still such a huge force as the Zhen family secretly supporting, and Xu You feels that there is no reason for him not to succeed.

Under Xu You's operation, among the generals stationed at the north gate tonight, there happened to be Zhao Xu.

Under the cover of night, Xu You led the private soldiers of the three families, including the three hundred private soldiers sent by the Zhen family, a total of 1,000 people, towards the north gate, as long as the north gate was opened, the rest of the things were simple, he had already made an appointment with the state army outside the city before the action, and after breaking through the outer city, he had to immediately prepare to enter the inner city.
