Zhuo County was attacked from both sides, it was already a sure thing, not only because Zhuo County must not be lost in Yuan Shao's opinion, but because this was already in his own bag, how could he throw it out again? And the most important thing is that this place suddenly stuck the two states and counties in the north, and made the Shanggu Dai County in the north become two enclaves under Yuan Shaozhi, which Yuan Shao absolutely could not tolerate.

And now that Zhao Yun has inexplicably occupied Renqiu, if Zhuojun is occupied by Lu Peng again, Fan Yang will be in danger, so that no matter what the purpose, Zhuojun must be snatched back.

So Yuan Shao ordered 800 li to urgently send an order to the senior cadres of the prefecture as quickly as possible, asking him to rectify all the people and horses of the prefecture, and he must recapture Zhuojun at all costs.

So the senior cadres of Bingzhou did not dare to slack off, and immediately reorganized an army of 100,000, known as 200,000, and marched eastward in the starry night, converging with the army of Dai County Shanggu, vowing to recapture Zhuo County in a battle.

Xu Jie was also actively preparing for war, and after receiving reinforcements from 30,000 mounted infantry overnight, he began a vigorous preparation campaign.

The dilapidated section of the city wall in Zhuojun had to be repaired. So Xu Jie looted all the treasury, but after all, the three fathers and sons of the Lu family were too good at making money, and there was almost not much, counting on Youzhou to support, and counting on merchants from all over the country to sell it, after all, far water does not quench the thirst of the near. Now the top priority is how to get the money and food quickly, and then hire the people to buy materials, repair that section of the city wall, and build equipment to defend the city.

So Xu Jie had a flash of inspiration and remembered that Lu Peng sold the land of the Wuhuan Grassland to those merchants. As for whether Lu Peng can get through there, can the cabinet be approved? Now it's a matter of urgency, and I can't take care of so much, and I'll talk about it later.

Immediately decided, Xu Jie immediately convened all the families in Zhuo County and announced this great news to them.

In fact, these family giants do not have a little so-called center of modern rulers, in their opinion, even if the world is reborn, as long as it is not the Liukou Yellow Turban Army to occupy the local area, then no matter who rules a place, they must rely on their own families, so there is a mentality, close the small door into a unity, manage it in spring, summer and autumn and winter, have the ability to rule their own, they send people to deal with it, they have no ability to rule themselves, they can't say, they don't give him a good face at all.

But Lu Peng is an exception, what Lu Peng did in Youzhou made these families envious, jealous and hateful.

First of all, let's talk about hatred, Lu Peng resolutely rejects these clans in his bones, and after several internal wars, he almost completely subdued the power of the clans, so that they can no longer become a country among local hegemons.

But what is envious is that Lu Peng is not like Gongsun Zhan, who used to use a knife against the family clan in his rule, when Gongsun Chan ruled, the Guangshi clan wiped out hundreds of families, and the family clan under Lu Pengzhi, as long as you sincerely lose your sincerity to Lu Peng, you will immediately get benefits in the hands of Lu Peng, that is to say, as long as you give up opposing Lu Peng and give up some of the armed forces in your hands, then you will get the economic benefits given by Lu Peng.

For example, after the current family clans in Youzhou Zhishu gave up the family arms in their hands, lowered the land rent and usury, and gave up their power to secretly control the government, they immediately got the priority right to develop commerce in various places, and it was just the liberalization of salt and iron smelting, so that those big clans made a lot of money, and the income from a year was not comparable to those barren lands at all.

What makes them jealous is that those families who began to sincerely support Lu Peng, after Lu Peng uprooted Wuhuan this time, bought the vast land and grassland in Lu Peng's hands, where they can govern at will and develop their own armed forces, one by one they seem to have become a country within a country, the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period, and become a generation of "founding kings", and now, Youzhou has not opened this policy to the wealthy families in other places, how can it not make people blush?

At this time, he suddenly received Xu Jie's invitation, and understood Xu Jie's purpose, these big families immediately rushed to the meeting without hesitation, stretched their necks one by one, and were ready to accept Xu Jie's conditions, and they could also buy a piece of grassland land, so that they could really become kings and marquis there, and live a high-ranking person's addiction.

Xu Jie didn't talk nonsense, and announced the land on the Famai grassland on the spot, when Xu Jie stood on the table and shouted: "I Xu Jie's status in Youzhou everyone also knows, my words count, I will issue a receipt to you now, and then you can send someone to Youzhou, to our cabinet to get the land certificate, and then our government will send someone to the grassland to demarcate the border, but this time, everyone must come up with money to hand it over to me, I only give you two days, if there is no money and food in place within two days, this matter will be invalid." Then he shouted hard: "The price is reduced after the clearance, the tears are sold, the money is lost and the money is earned, you can't miss it, the opportunity is rare and once-in-a-lifetime." ”

Everyone didn't think that Xu Jie's words would be insignificant, because everyone knew that this guy with a liar-like face was the only assistant who started with Lu Peng, and this guy also worshiped and married Lu Peng and Zhao Yun, not the brother of Lu Peng's brothers. And everyone in the world knows that Lu Peng is the most righteous, even if the place where this guy sold himself to himself in the grassland does not exist at all, then he, Lu Peng, in order to protect this brother's face, will send troops again and go to the grassland to grab a piece for himself.

After signing the original Lu Peng's bonfire covenant, these clans immediately poured everything they had and began to buy one after another, and for a while, you and I spared no effort to win it. Then he hurriedly transported all the money and grain in his inventory into Zhuo County, only two days, after Xu Jie passed the calculation, not only no longer asked for money and grain from Youzhou, but began to organize a group of personnel to send the excess money back to Youzhou, and also directly escorted a huge batch of grain and grass to the south to support the battlefield of Renqiu and Fan Yang.

If you have money, of course, it is easy to do things, and the people who have been scavenged to the bones by Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao in Zhuo County have seen the opportunity to make money, and the opportunity to enter the rule of Youzhou in the future, and immediately signed up to participate in the construction of the city.

Xu Jie had enough people, so he immediately organized the original 10,000 people from Youzhou into the reserve, explained the benefits and disadvantages to them, and promised a generous reward.

The people of Youzhou have long been grateful to Lu Peng, this time the matter is urgent, these 10,000 young and strong people are willing to seize this opportunity to show their loyalty to the state pastor, and willingly took up arms and walked to the city. Xu Jie immediately incorporated these people who hurriedly joined the army into his original team, and quickly formed combat effectiveness with the old and the new.

That section of the city wall that was blown down, it is actually very simple to build, now it is cold, immediately splash water into a wall, not only that, in order to enhance the height and strength of the city wall, Xu Jie has been hiring the people in Zhuo County City day and night to carry the water city. When Gao Gan's 100,000 troops rushed to the city of Zhuojun, a shining, huge outrageous city wall appeared in front of them. Using this most stupid method to capture this huge fortified city that has been defended by 45,000 soldiers, it is estimated that it can attack the earth.
