"Lord, the number of these Taiping Sectarians is twice as large as our army, and now the situation in Suiyang is critical, even if the lord is benevolent and does not kill these people, they should be expelled, stay here, I am afraid that there will be disasters." The overall situation has been decided, Lu Liang's head has been hung on the city tower outside the treasury, looking at the Taiping Sect descendants who have had their weapons confiscated under the care of Fang Yue and others, Qiu Chi is still a little worried.

"It's impossible to put it back." Ye Zhao looked at the sky that was gradually brightening, and shook his head: "We are short of manpower now, although these people's combat power is insufficient, they can be used to defend the city." ”

"But they ......" Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao with a wry smile, regardless of the combat effectiveness of these people, these people surrendered when they thought the general trend had gone, but in fact, in this Suiyang County, only here is temporarily under the control of the imperial court, and even the government has been burned, this situation must not be hidden, Qiu Chi is very worried that these people will mutiny.

"My lord, the count has been completed, excluding those who were shot and trampled on each other and died, last night's battle, a total of 763 soldiers were surrendered." Fang Yue walked up to the city wall and bowed to Ye Zhao.

"In this way, we have more than a thousand people." Ye Zhao nodded.

"Yes!" Fang Yue hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "It's just that these people have reduced their combat strength......

"Better than nothing." Ye Zhao shook his head and said: "Break up the surrendered army, mix our people into it, select their elite to serve as the commander of the army, the chief and the general, in addition to arranging the guards, the rest of the people will be trained as soon as possible." ”

"This ......" Fang Yue smiled bitterly: "Time is in a hurry, I'm afraid I can't train into an army?" ”

"You don't need to train into an army, you just need to be able to stand in a basic queue and not be afraid to fight when fighting." Ye Zhao said with a smile: "Now that the treasury is in our hands, the Taiping Sect has no food, we just need to guard this treasury without losing it, it won't take a few days, the Taiping Sect is in chaos, we have time." ”

"Whoa!" Fang Yue bowed and went to give the order.

"Lord, what should I do next?" Qiu Chi sighed, knowing that there was no choice now, Ye Zhao's ability to train troops and use soldiers, Qiu Chi was quite admired, but at this moment, Suiyang City was full of yellow scarves, and it was impossible for Liang Fa to give Ye Zhao time to train his troops.

"Contact the gentry in the city, who are alive, all united, the great Suiyang, I don't believe that everyone has become a yellow scarf." Ye Zhao looked at the direction outside the city tower and thought: "It's a pity that there is too little information now, and we have no way of knowing what the situation outside is." ”

When did the Yellow Turban Rebellion break out, not to mention that Ye Zhao didn't know, even if he knew it in his previous life, after many years here, it was not something that was often used, this kind of detail had long been forgotten, but judging from the current situation, I am afraid that the Yellow Turban Rebellion has broken out.

Ye Zhao remembered that in the early days, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was like a bamboo, and countless counties and counties had fallen one after another, probably like this Suiyang, the officials and soldiers were caught off guard, otherwise, with the current equipment and combat effectiveness of this Taiping Sect, Ye Zhao really couldn't think of how they could be like a bamboo?

"Envoy, a group of people have come to the south and want to come in." A county soldier rushed over, came to Ye Zhao's side, and bowed.

"People?" Ye Zhao's brows sank when he heard this: "Go and take a look." ”

To the south of the treasury, outside the wall, I saw a large number of people crowded outside, with a look of panic, constantly banging on the door of the treasury, the sound of pleading, crying sounded, and farther away, I saw a yellow turban thief hovering in the distance, watching the situation here.

"Lord, this is the treacherous plan of the traitors of the Taiping Sect, they drove the people to vote, once we open the gate, these traitors will come to attack immediately, and among these people, there must be mixed with thieves and spies, once the door is opened, the consequences are unimaginable." Qiu Chi looked at the scene in front of him, his face couldn't help but change greatly, and he bowed to Ye Zhao.

Ye Zhao nodded, how could he not see such an obvious strategy.

"It's just...... If you don't let these people in, these people will be slaughtered by the Taiping Sect......" A military marquis looked at Ye Zhao hesitantly.

"Take out some weapons from the warehouse and throw them down, now we can't protect ourselves, once we die, this Suiyang will really become the world of the Taiping Sect!" Ye Zhao stood on the city tower and said loudly: "The people under the city listen! ”

Downstairs in the city, when the people saw Ye Zhao, they suddenly had anticipation in their eyes, not only did they not stop shouting, but they became louder.

"Shut up!" Ye Zhao frowned, his eyes widened, and he shouted.

The crowd fell silent.

"At an extraordinary time, this official can't open the door for you!" Ye Zhao took a deep breath and said loudly.

"Do you want to watch me and other innocent people die?" Many people shouted one after another.

"Life is earned by yourself, not given by others, the official can give you weapons to defend yourself, if there is no food, the official can also distribute food to you, but this treasury is the last remaining place in Suiyang, there is no room for loss, look at your back, once the official opens the door, those Taiping Sect traitors will immediately rush in." Ye Zhao pointed to the distance and said in a deep voice: "As soon as the door opens, not only will it not save you, but it will make you die faster!" ”

It's just a group of people, where will they pay attention to it for so many years, now, they only know that Ye Zhao won't let them enter the door, and they suddenly make a noise, one by one they are angry, scolding at the city wall, and some people even invite wooden stakes and want to bang on the door.

"Archer prepare!" Ye Zhao's expression was fierce, and he shouted.

"Crunch~" Behind Ye Zhao, dozens of archers quickly drew their longbows, in this treasury, there is not only food and grass, but also weapons and armor, and there is no shortage of bows and crossbows, Ye Zhao's soldiers have already been rearmed last night.

"I don't believe it, he dares to do it to innocent people!" In the crowd, a middle-aged man indignantly raised the wooden stick in his hand and threw it towards the castle tower.

"Bold! Put! Ye Zhao's eyes were cold, and his raised arm suddenly waved down.

"Woo Woo Woo ~ "

Dozens of sharp arrows broke through the air and fell towards the crowd, and the blood flowers shot were accompanied by screams, which made the crowd suddenly chaotic, these people didn't expect that Ye Zhao would really give the order to do it, and he didn't show the slightest mercy, in an instant, the scolding just now was a lot weaker, followed by a lot of crying sounds under the city tower.

"Don't let it go!" After a round of arrows was fired, the soldiers behind him twisted their bows and arrows again, Ye Zhao waved his hand, looked at the people under the city tower, and said loudly: "If you are willing to stay, weapons and food will be distributed here, and you can build a layer of defense on the periphery to protect yourself, if you feel that the official is ruthless, you can also leave." ”

After the previous deterrence, no one dared to say anything, just waited for a while, but no one was willing to leave, after all, at least they could eat here, and with Ye Zhao and other officials by their side, they were also more steady.

"If anyone dares to incite everyone to attack the city, immediately release arrows, don't hesitate!" Listening to the constant crying outside the city, Ye Zhao was depressed in his heart, and after explaining to the garrison marquis, he turned around and left
