Chapter 725: A Great Harvest
Ye Chen looked at the stars at night and sighed at Yecheng, this is the second time he has come to Yecheng, last time it was to take revenge on Yuan Shao, and this time it was to save people.
I always feel that compared with Yuan Shao, I am still not ruthless enough, and the other party has some things to complete by myself. And I still haven't figured out whether this attack will be beneficial to Liaodong.
When he was thinking about the problem, Kong Dashan came to report,
"Lord, it's been three shifts."
When Ye Chen heard this, his heart became excited, and he immediately said to Gao Shun.
"Shu Ye, you must take the city gate quickly this time."
Gao Shun immediately responded.
"Whoa."
At dawn, a force of 9,000 people slowly drove towards Yecheng, not in a hurry or slow, as if Yecheng was regarded as a meal on a plate, and meat in the mouth.
Jiang Qi, the defender of Yecheng, has come out, leaving only more than 3,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people in the city, originally thinking that there is Kong Rong in the east who is gentle and elegant, Cao Cao in the south is separated from Yecheng by 30,000 troops, and Han Meng who is cruising on the southeast line.
Dong Zhuo in the west doesn't bother him, his division is far richer than this place, although Yecheng brings together the population of most of the families in Jizhou, but at this time, Yuan Shao in order to make his euphorbia quickly become an army, gradually regarded Wu'an as his important military town, not only did not strengthen the defense of Yecheng after the war, but reduced the use of Yecheng.
Ye Cheng at this time is no longer the same thing as Ye Chen when Ye Chen sneaked attack.
The defense was lax and the army was scattered, Ye Chen sent his own guard Kong Dashan to find out the situation, and he was ambushed outside the city according to a group of people, just waiting for Liu Qi to raise fire in the city, Gao Shun and the others immediately inserted themselves at the city gate.
Sure enough, at dawn, waiting for the garrison soldiers in the city to open the city gate, Liu Qi and others set fire to the south gate of the city.
Ye Chen received the news from Gao Shun and immediately followed up, if he couldn't outwit him, he could only attack, how could he resist with more than 3,000 Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses in the city.
For a time, outside Yecheng, nearly a thousand Liaodong troops suddenly poured out.
The guards' eyes were not yet awake, and half of them had just changed their shifts, and they were napping and napping, and they didn't even have time to catch their breath, and they were immediately trembling with fright. Coupled with the secret spy arranged by Liu Qi, at this time, heavy items such as rice, grain, ox carts and other heavy items were transported at the gate, and the city gate could not be closed, so the Yuan soldiers and guards took the lead in escaping, and the Yuan soldiers immediately dispersed.
"Quick, occupy the city gate, and go to the governor's mansion in a group."
"The rest of me will go to prison." Gao Shun has not forgotten the mission of this trip, saving talents is the most important thing.
The Liaodong army seemed to be like a wolf, under the leadership of Gao Shun, quickly divided its troops, held the city gate all the way, received Ye Chen's army, and directly killed the county guard prison under the guidance of Liu Qi.
Gao Shun in front captured the city gate, and after Ye Chen got the news, he immediately attacked, directly occupied Yecheng, and deliberately caused a momentum, the people in the city didn't know what was going on, they just stayed at home and closed the door.
The families were well-informed, and when they heard that Ye Chen had killed Yecheng again, the city gate had been lost, and they panicked.
"Ye Chen is here again, run away."
"Still have your bags to pack?"
"I didn't kill my head last time, what if he changes his mind this time?"
"These things are just ready at home!"
"Yuan Benchu, he is simply incompetent!"
"Don't scold, beware of both sides killing your head, run."
All the families complained, and they had no choice but to ride on horses and flee directly, and most of the family property that was ready to be re-raised and re-prepared for development was not taken away.
The family in Yecheng is tragic, they were attacked by Ye Chenqi twice, the first time they lost most of the property in Yecheng, and the second time is estimated to be no better, in the future, they don't know if they will leave a shadow, and they dare not put their property in Yecheng.
Chen Zhen suddenly heard the news, and his frightened soul did not possess his body, and he fell directly to the ground. The entourage next to him immediately stepped forward to help him up and said.
"Master Chen, run away. Ye Chen's Liaodong Army is still at the south gate now, and there is still time to escape. Fortunately, the lord's family and family have all arrived in Nanpi, otherwise Yecheng will be lost, how can the lord know that he will not offend us after he knows? ”
Chen Zhen reacted at this time and said.
"Yes, yes, prepare the horse, I'm going to report to the lord."
At this time, Chen Zhen crawled with him, left Yecheng with his relatives, and went to the direction of Zhangwu to tell Yuan Shao.
After Ye Chen entered the city, he went straight to the prison, and the purpose of this time was to save the Zhen family.
At this time, Gao Shun had already been laid out of prison and was waiting for Ye Chen's arrival, so he opened his mouth to pray.
"Zhen Yi's family is safe, but they have all been tortured, and it is impossible for them to escape normally."
Having said this, Ye Chen was not worried, found Kong Dashan, and said.
"If you take a man to raid a house, and if you see a horse or a chariot, let no one kill anyone except if he comes out to make trouble. Whatever you see, put it in the car. ”
Helping Zhen Yi out of the prison, as well as their family, saw Ye Chen reappear in Yecheng like a heavenly soldier and a general, they all knelt down for Ye Chen, this was originally going to be executed by Yuan Shao, seeing this situation, how could they not be excited.
"Uncle, you've suffered." Seeing Zhen Yi in the prison, Ye Chen immediately greeted him.
Zhen Yi was even more emotional when he saw Ye Chen, and said:
"Unexpectedly, in the end, it was the virtuous nephew who came out to save my life, and I filled the door for the Zhen family, thank you for the grace of the virtuous nephew for saving my life."
Ye Chen also sighed with emotion, how much danger he took in this thousand-mile surprise attack, just to save Zhen Yi's family, if he still didn't appreciate it, then he had nothing to say.
Immediately arranged for someone to prepare the vehicle, and the county guard Fankuri, in order to transfer the property handed over to the Zhen family, requisitioned a lot of vehicles and horses from the vicinity, which were still idle at this time.
In this raid, the defenders in the city did not prepare at all, and they were blasted out by Ye Chen, and the soldiers did not have time to do anything.
Ye Chen asked Gao Shun to take three thousand soldiers and horses to collect these cars, first escort Zhen Yi's family, return according to the original route, and then immediately go to the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion to count the treasures he had collected from the family.
Just counted it, there were 30 million dollars, although it was not much, but silk silk, silk and bronze ware, etc., were loaded with dozens of cars.
This march is thousands of miles, and there is no army to protect it, this Yecheng is basically an empty city, and there are only more than one million dollars in the Fankuli of the county guard, and the rest are transferred to Wu'an.
Ye Chen was not surprised when he heard the news, but Kong Dashan looked energetic this time, and even the sword and armor were replaced with new ones.
At this time, Kong Dashan was pressing more than a dozen cars into the state pastoral mansion, and when he saw Ye Chen, he immediately rolled off his horse to report.
"My lord, the last general has harvested all the things of the family this time, there are almost more than a hundred cars, according to what the lord said. Ten carts of light money and jewels were loaded, and the remaining hundred or so carts were all silk, silk, silk, and copper and iron. ”
Saying this, Ye Chen's eyes lit up and said.
"Okay, let a part of the guard battalion come out, just take care of the ten carts of jewelry and money, and quickly follow General Gao Shun, and you immediately push all the other things to the market and give them all to the people."
One sentence made Kong Dashan stunned, and asked rhetorically.
"Lord, these people are all closed doors, how can we send them?"
Ye Chen was so angry that he yelled directly.
"Just throw it on the market, I'll wait for you at the city gate when you're done, hurry up and follow."
Kong Dashan suddenly realized this, and immediately arranged for the soldiers of the personal guard battalion to push all these things collected in the county guard mansion to the market.
Then, the Liaodong army retreated with Ye Chen, and it was only at noon that Ye Chen arranged things properly, and at this time, Kong Dashan had already caught up with Ye Chen, and asked puzzledly.
"My lord, why do you want me to throw all those valuable things at the market? Just let the people go to the county guard to get it. ”
Ye Chen completed the rescue operation at this time, and said in high spirits.
"If in the bazaar, who owns this thing and who dares to speak, but in the county guard's mansion, going in is like rebellion. He who will be questioned in the future. I'm throwing things, the people pick up things, give other people's property, collect the people's hearts, don't get entangled, let's go. ”
Kong Dashan, who said this, nodded again and again, and Ye Chen, who was handsome, chased everyone all the way to Gao Shun.
