"Lord, in the past few days, there has been no obvious movement in the city, and the Yellow Turban Thieves have come out several times, trying to test the reality of our army, but they have all been defeated by our army." Two days later, Runan, Geling Battalion, Ye Zhao rushed back, did not go to rest, and directly summoned the generals, Fang Yue reported to Ye Zhao that Ye Zhao had left the military affairs in the past four days.

"These Yellow Turban troops are untrained and have loose military discipline, and now they are fighting on their own, and they will not really attack on a large scale until they have no choice." Qiu Chi on the side smiled.

"How's the recruitment going?" Ye Zhao flipped through the military affairs and asked Ding Lidao beside him.

Now that Ding Li and Qiu Chi have come here, it means that the recruitment has come to an end.

"In the past few days, there have been several strong and strong people to vote, according to the orders of the lord, select their elite and strong into the army, the soldiers of the five schools have been full, if you count the new soldiers, our army can now reach 12,000 people, in addition to many strong to vote, but they dare not make decisions without permission." Ding Li bowed.

"Oh? Why is that? Ye Zhao looked at Ding Li unexpectedly, according to the previous arrangement, first set up 10,000 soldiers and horses, if there is any left, you can recruit more, with his current rights, the wartime officers and soldiers plus auxiliary soldiers, together can raise 20,000 soldiers and horses.

"Ruyang Yuan's family, send the general Yu She, and lead 3,000 troops to vote." Qiu Chi smiled bitterly: "If you let him join the army, I'm afraid it will be difficult to command!" ”

After following Ye Zhao for a long time, Qiu Chi knew very well that Ye Zhao had high requirements for the army, and the most important point was that the army must absolutely obey Ye Zhao's command.

But this is the Yuan family!

The fourth and third dukes, in this era, such a family can be compared with the royal family, and even in terms of influence, in some respects, the Yuan family is better than the Son of Heaven.

The Yuan family?

Ye Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly smiled: "Recruit, why don't you recruit, recruit them in, and allow that Yu Shi to lead an army alone." ”

"Whoa!" Ding Li agreed when he heard this, since Ye Zhao had spoken, he naturally had nothing to worry about.

Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao's smile, and always felt that this matter was not so simple, his own lord was not a good man and a woman, and he actually allowed Yu Shi to lead an army under his command?

Although Ye Zhao smiled very kindly, Qiu Chi knew that whenever Ye Zhao laughed like this, someone would usually be unlucky, and he suddenly felt some sympathy for Yu Shi in his heart, even though he didn't know what Ye Zhao was thinking, but Qiu Chi felt that the end of this Yu Shi would not be too good.

"By the way, contact Huang Shao to see how much grain and grass there is still in the city, and how is the consumption?" Ye Zhao looked at Zhang Yuedao who followed Qiu Chi and the others on the side.

"Whoa!" Zhang Yue simply agreed, and then she was silent, if she didn't make a sound, it would be difficult for the people present to feel her existence, for this ugly woman beside Ye Zhao, others may feel redundant, but only the people around Ye Zhao know how much Zhang Yue's existence has helped Ye Zhao.

"Then let's go and rest, the information must be as accurate as possible, after the people of the secret guard go in, they will stay by Huang Shao's side, and they can do something when necessary, I want to break the city!" And as soon as possible! Ye Zhao stood up, looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "There may be a war at any time, you are ready, those righteous words, I don't bother to say, you are all your own people, I just want to tell you that this battle is related to our careers, as well as wealth." ”

"Don't worry, lord!" When everyone heard this, their expressions were solemn and they saluted Ye Zhao.

……

It is not difficult to get information in the city, what the secret guard is good at is to sneak in, if it is a well-guarded city, it may not be too easy to sneak in from the outside, but the yellow scarf, at night, the defenders of the city are basically sleeping, looking at the crowd, but as long as you are careful to climb up, don't make too much noise, and then put on a tattered costume, you don't even need to go to the yellow turban army to rob, just find a family of people to buy some clothes to wear, tie a yellow scarf on the head, you can be fake and real, as long as you don't be found when you climb the city wall, after the city wall, basically there is no danger.

Therefore, in the eyes of He Yi, Liu Bi, Gong Du and others, the well-guarded city is almost useless in the eyes of people who are proficient in infiltration such as Ye Zhao and Zhang Yue.

Early the next morning, Zhang Yue sent the information that Ye Zhao wanted, to find out how much grain was stored in the city, in fact, it was not difficult, the three families divided the grain that day, and a cart of them was transported to their respective areas, Huang Shao was trusted by He Yi, and he was not a majority of cultural people, and the inventory was done by Huang Shao, no one knew better than him the grain and grass situation in Geling, and even Liu Bi and Gong Du's grain and grass, he probably had a number in his heart.

Ye Zhao rested for a night, his spirit was much better, looking at the information sent by Zhang Yue, not only the grain and grass, but also the data of the daily grain and grass consumption in the city, this Huang Shao is also a talent.

"In this way, with the number of Yellow Turban troops in the city now, these grains and grass can't support them for a few days." Ye Zhao groped his chin, looked at Zhang Yue and said: "In the next few days, I will send someone to shoot the book in the city and tell Huang Shao that as long as he spreads the content of the book, the secret guard will try to cooperate with him, and he will figure out a way to implement it." ”

"Whoa!" Zhang Yue agreed, turned around and left.

Ye Zhao summoned Huang Shao and Ding Li again, and asked them to prepare to surrender the book, and early tomorrow morning, they began to shoot into the city in turn.

Early the next morning, the Yellow Turban Army at the head of the city was awakened by a dense sound of footsteps, and under each city wall, there were hundreds of officers and soldiers lined up, one by one, carrying quivers and holding bows and arrows under the city wall.

What's the situation?

The Yellow Turban Army defending the city looked at these people in front of them in surprise, a hundred people want to attack the city? And there is nothing but tackling fortifications?

Just when a group of Yellow Turban soldiers were puzzled, they saw that the officers and soldiers under the city took off their longbows, bent their bows and set arrows, and put three arrows on the bowstring at a time.

The Yellow Turban Army defending the city hurriedly grabbed the bow and arrow to counterattack, but it was too far away, and the bow used by the other party was obviously not an ordinary bow and arrow, standing under the city to shoot arrows, the range was even farther than them, and most of the arrows shot by the defenders at the head of the city missed, even if they could reach far away, they became soft in front of the other party, and they could be blocked with a square in their hands.

After four rounds in a row, all the arrows in the quiver were shot, and these officers and soldiers no longer stayed, turned around and left, leaving the Yellow Turban soldiers defending the city at a loss.

"Look, there's something on this arrow!" Someone found a note tied to the arrow cluster, and for convenience, Ye Zhao invested a lot of money this time and got Cai Hou paper.

"What's written on it?"

"How do I know?"

Most of the Yellow Turban Army was composed of illiterate farmers, not to mention the Yellow Turban Army, even among the official army, there were not many literate people.

Some of the Yellow Turban generals quickly reacted that this might be the Han Army's surrender letter, and hurriedly ordered someone to collect the note and destroy it, but there were still many people who secretly put away the surrender book, not to mention that many arrows flew directly into the city, and it was not easy to collect.

Seeing that the official army did not mean to attack the city immediately, several Yellow Turban generals discussed it and found someone to report back with a letter of surrender.

Ordinary sergeants naturally have no right to ask, but many people are still very curious about the content of the book, and the situation in Geling is not very good now.

How many officers and troops are outside the city, it is a mystery so far, probably know a lot, but how many exactly, no one knows, and even don't know where this judgment came from, in short, after a long time, everyone takes it for granted that they are facing the main force of the imperial court, but after all, outside the city, because of the relationship between the city wall, this is not too high city wall, but what brings these yellow turban soldiers is a sense of psychological security, and it is precisely because of the existence of this city wall that they have the courage to face the main force of the official army.

But the current situation in the city is not good, He Yi, Gong Du, Liu Pi.

It is difficult for the soldiers at the bottom to guess what the decision-makers at the top are thinking, and the more ignorant they are, the easier it is to deify people with higher status than themselves, feeling that they are omnipotent, and it is impossible for them to guess what they are thinking, but a city, three forces, and they are not friendly to each other, this is not an optimistic thing after all, plus a matter of food and grass...... At present, the grain and grass in the city can not be supported for too long, but this is a consensus in the hearts of most soldiers.

It is precisely because of this that when they found out that the Han army might have the intention of surrendering, many people were tempted.

There is no clear answer to what He Yi, Liu Pi, and Gong Du think of this descending book, but in the afternoon, the content of the descending book did not know where it came from, and it quickly spread in the city.

Probably means that God has the virtue of a good life, although our army has the power to break the city, but it really does not want to kill more, remembering that the yellow turbans in the city were also the people of the Han Dynasty, but they were bewitched by people and had to be involved in this war, from this moment on, as long as they are willing to surrender, they can be exempted from responsibility and become the people of the Han Dynasty again.

These words, in the eyes of He Yi and others, are very normal words of surrender, but as everyone knows, they are poking into the hearts of many Yellow Turban Army.

Although this huge uprising is indeed a rebellion that broke out after the people at the bottom could not survive, but with the intensification of the Yellow Turbans, it did not solve their practical difficulties, but in most of the places occupied by the Yellow Turban Army, the people are not as good as before, and now many of the Yellow Turban Army are coerced by the Taiping Sect, and they have become the Yellow Turban Army in a daze, they have not even been able to figure out why they want to fight, so they carry rudimentary weapons to the battlefield, not only to fight with well-equipped officers and soldiers, They even have to fight with their own people, which is also an important factor in causing people's hearts to be unstable.

That night, He Yi was discussing with Huang Shao, He Man and other generals how to retreat from the enemy, when he suddenly saw a yellow turban leader come in, and said with a panicked face: "Qu Shuai, it's not good, someone secretly opened the city gate, hundreds of brothers quietly went out of the city, and now there are many fewer people on the city wall we guard." ”

"What!?" Hearing this, He Yi stood up, gritted his teeth and said, "These ungrateful people! ”

Huang Shao got up and said: "The top priority is to close the city gate first, strengthen supervision, and don't let people go out again." ”

"Reasonable!" When He Yi heard this, he nodded and said, "Wu Ba, you take people to pay attention to the city gate, replace the city gate guards with the elite in the army, and strictly guard them." ”

"Uh......" Wu Ba was stunned, it was obviously Huang Shao's idea, why did he have to do something in the end? This made him very unhappy, but since He Yi had already spoken, he was not good at Wei Kang, so he could only agree sullenly and go to carry it out.
