Chapter 51: Decay

It's a pity that along the way, Cao Cao didn't say a word to Cao Cao, Cao Cao heard this, and only roughly calculated the remaining troops in Yecheng, as well as the poor five hundred Yulin cavalry under his command, and immediately abandoned all illusions, "Prepare to retreat!" Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood. "A mess of scattered sand, there is no possibility of defeating Yan Zheng, go early! It would be great if there was a territory of his own, as long as there were 3,000, not 4,000 elites, he would never be afraid of strict government!

When Tian Feng heard this, he looked at the chaos under the city, and sighed, he was not a local official, and he had no responsibility to defend the city, so there was no need to die with his body, and he quickly went down the city with Cao Cao's pace.

Seeing Cao Cao and Tian Feng walking south, the officials at the head of the city seemed to understand something at once, and they rushed down one by one, and those with higher force even jumped down directly, but they were injured, and the thieves entered the city to die!

After entering the city, what I saw was not the soldiers and horses waiting for battle, but the dust raised by everyone after they fled. The judge was disheartened, and pulled Liu Yu, who was already confused, to continue to run away among his guards.

"Hah! What about the guards of Yecheng? Don't they know who closes the gates? "Liao Hua's mouth is wide open, such a majestic city, the great sage and good teacher spent a year, and he couldn't cross the further big city until he died, so he was rushed in by us, and no one died!

"Our handsome's way of using troops is really whimsical and unpredictable!" Gao Lan praised it.

"I've never heard of anyone using troops like this!" Han Dang's face was also full of admiration.

Looking at the miracle in front of him, Lei Gong was even more sure in his heart that his handsome man would definitely be able to overthrow the Han Dynasty and establish the prosperous era of Huangtian!

"What?!" Yuan Shao felt that he hadn't woken up yet, this was definitely a nightmare! Yan Zhanshu only had 3,000 horsemen, and he actually captured Yecheng, the seat of Jizhou, that is Yecheng! The city is ten zhang high, second only to the twelve zhang of Luoyang Chang'an! The moat is five zhang wide, more than four zhang deep, the water of the Yellow River is introduced, it is inexhaustible all the year round, and there are 5,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Yecheng all the year round, how can it be captured by 3,000 cavalry? !

"How did you get lost?" Ju Yi stared closely at the messenger who reported the news, his family was also in Yecheng, and it took a lot of money to move his family into Yecheng back then, but now it seems that it is a huge irony!

"Lord Liu Yu of Youzhou Mu went out of the city with three thousand cavalry to take up his post in Youzhou, and saw a Han cavalry waiting on the side of the road, thinking that it was-" The messenger didn't dare to speak, Yuan Shao also came to his senses at this time, and asked: "What do you think?!" ”

The messenger gritted his teeth and said: "I thought it was Captain Yuan who led the team to send, so he only brought his own guards forward, but he was attacked by the thieves, and then followed and killed, and broke the city gate, and the adults in the city escaped. However, Lord Liu has lost contact with the adults, and his whereabouts are now unknown, and he may be in the hands of an enemy. ”

With a "ha", Yuan Shao laughed angrily, "What do I take to recapture Yecheng?!" Three thousand elites, the subordinates of the strict political thieves are not the group of wrecks in Yecheng! Ten rules surround it, where did I get the 30,000 elites?! And Lord Liu, it's really-" Yuan Shao was furious, he couldn't describe the group of fools in Yecheng! Not only did he lose Yecheng, but he also lost Lord Liu Yu, why didn't he lose himself!

"Ming Gong is a little restless!" Ju Yi thought about it carefully and said to the messenger: "You go back and tell your lords, let them rest assured, I will raise troops immediately and recapture Yecheng within three days!" ”

Waiting for the messenger to walk away, Ju Yi bowed his hand to Yuan Shao and said, "I just thank the public for the volume." The subordinates have thought about it, the thief is not familiar with the place, he can't hold Yecheng, at most he can only rob and leave. Yecheng is ten miles in circumference, with 100,000 residents, and the family is innumerable. ”

"We received the news, and then sent troops, and we can only arrive in Yecheng in two days, and then the thieves should also leave, and we can just get a reputation for guarding the township!" Yuan Shao calculated slightly, and immediately smiled, now he has regarded his 15,000 soldiers and horses as his subordinates, and he is not so stupid to fight with Yan Thief with his own blood! The holy decree of the general of Zhengxi has been promulgated, even if the Yan thief is annihilated, there will be no higher reward, but it will greatly reduce his strength, where is it comparable to the ease and pleasure of such a tour to capture the city.

"My lord, now that our cavalry is insufficient, of course we can't pursue the Yan thieves, but we can't make it too easy for them, plundering everywhere will also affect the reputation of Ming Gong, after all, Ming Gong's credit is to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion, such a group of rogues are looting everywhere, and it is not good to hear after all." Ju Yi touched his chin and said slowly.

"Huh? Do you have any good proposals? Yuan Shao thought about it, such a group of rogues wandering in Jizhou, it was not good to reach the ears of the Son of Heaven.

"My subordinates thought, how did our Han guard against the Huns and Xianbei on the border? Isn't it possible to use it against strict thieves in the same way?! Ju Yi suggested.

"Beacon! It's the beacon! Yuan Shao laughed and said: "Shesheng, your brain is fast, although the knowledge is still insufficient, but it is enough for the general!" "Turn around and leave: "I will send an order to Jizhou large and small cities, townships, every ten miles to build a beacon tower, as long as you see the cavalry of the thief from a distance, you will light the beacon fire, then the troops on all sides will gather, a total of annihilation of the thief, just a few times, the thief's 3,000 cavalry will be exhausted, no longer majestic!" ”

"Ming Gong has a high view, and knowledge is not beyond the reach of his subordinates." Ju Yi complimented his mouth, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and a beacon tower had to be prompted by Lao Tzu around the corner!

"We will definitely send troops, but we can't send all our troops." Yuan Shao suddenly thought of a question, and his brows furrowed: "This Guangping City has just been recovered, but there can't be no one to garrison, if the thieves kill the horse gun and take Guangping again, it will become a joke!" ”

"In this way, Lu Kuang, you lead three thousand elites to stay in Guangping, if the thieves come again, they are not allowed to fight, they are only allowed to firmly defend the city and light the beacon fire, we will naturally return to the army when we see it." Yuan Shao quickly made up his mind and named Lu Kuang's name.

"No! As long as the strict thief appears, the last will immediately light the beacon fire, defend Guangping, and will never go out of the city with greed! "Lu Kuang is very self-aware, he can defeat the thieves of Huangfu Song and Yuan Shao successively, it is not something he can compete with, but defending the city, unless the thieves have an army of 30,000, he will not want to take Guangping City!

"Good! With your words, I am relieved! Yuan Shao nodded with satisfaction, turned his head and ordered: "You will each order your own soldiers and horses, and recapture Yecheng with me!" ”

"No!" The second general took the order and left.

In Yecheng, Yan Zhanshu began to feel that there were not enough soldiers and horses, if he sent troops to defend a few city gates, he would consume most of his troops, and the rest was not enough to plunder those families who were prone to thousands of families; If you don't send troops to guard the city gate, then these big fish will break through the net and leave: "Forget it, ten birds in the forest is better than one bird in hand." Gao Ran, which of these Yecheng families is the richest, and there are fewer families? Yan Zhanshu was going to grab a handful and leave.

Yecheng, which has 100,000 households, is really the capital of the overlord, but unfortunately, it is not something that I can obtain now!

"Of course, it's the Zhen family in Zhongshan. The Zhen family has been in business for generations, rich in Hebei, and there are countless horses and furs in the family! Gao Ran said a name without thinking: "Before the head of the Zhen family also donated money to be the county magistrate of Zhongshan, but unfortunately, he lost his name when he fell ill, and at this time there were orphans and widows left, and the family was panicked, which was the best object for me to plunder." ”

"Okay, let's copy this first!" Yan Zhanshu laughed and said: "Brothers, who knows the way, take everyone to copy the Zhen family!" ”

"I recognize! I recognize! Many soldiers enthusiastically said. Among these soldiers trapped in the camp are originally from Hebei, and there are many soldiers who have surrendered to Yecheng, and at this moment they can plunder the big families who have no chance to climb on weekdays, so they are naturally happy in their hearts.

"Good! Yu Yigen, you lead the team to set off! Yan Zhanshu ordered.

"Dashuai, aren't you going? I heard that the Zhen family is rich in beauties-" Yu Yigen asked with a squeezing of his eyebrows, and then felt a murderous aura coming from the side, and immediately understood the hardships of the big handsome, and changed his tone: "But the age is too young, the big man is still injured, so it's better to take care of the injury, this kind of hard work, I will do it for me!" Turning his head and running away, Han Dang, Liao Hua, Lei Gong and others snickered and followed, still saying in their mouths: "Old Yu, we are also afraid that you will work too hard, and we are all kind enough to help you!" ”

"Whew-" A pack of wolves howled frantically behind him.

"These guys! Don't harm civilians, remember! Yan Zhanshu added, shaking his head and laughing.
