When Zhang Yi arrived in Shu County, he came to gather the army, and it was already May, and the food of each family was almost finished.

Zhang Yi's side is similar, but he still has 10,000 stone of food, which is enough for him to start another war.

10,000 stone of grain was enough for his more than 20,000 troops for several months. As long as the grain and grass are not burned by others, he can fully support him to capture Yuzhang.

At this time, there were not many people in Yuzhang County, Yuzhang Taishou was Sun Ben, and the general under him was Tai Shi Ci alone.

Faced with such a lineup, Zhang Yi didn't care about it at all. Although Tai Shi Ci is very fierce, but in front of himself is definitely not enough, in terms of bravery, Wei Wentong, Fu Youde and Tai Shi Ci are not far behind, in terms of commanding troops, Li Jing alone can crush the heroes.

Gathering 28,000 people, Zhang Yi wanted to attack Peng Ze directly, but since Di Qing had not returned, Zhang Yi was not worried about the situation in Shu County, and was afraid that Li Shu or the Sun family would come back.

Li Shu was locked in a cell by Zhang Yi, because he had many connections in Jiangdong, and Zhang Yi did not kill him directly. Zhang Yi didn't have a great grasp of it, and he didn't know if he could submit this Li Shu and let it be used for himself.

But this Li Shu is also an ambitious person, and he was caught by Zhang Yi, whether he can lose his ambition, Zhang Yi really can't guarantee it.

Therefore, Zhang Yi is not in a hurry to recruit Li Shu, and if he wants to boil him up, there may be some possibilities.

Di Qing hasn't come back yet, in fact, he is in big trouble, and this big trouble is in Lei Xu.

Lei Xu was originally also Yuan Shu's general, and he had a good relationship with Chen Lan, who was exterminated by Zhang Yi. However, Lei Xu was originally from Lujiang County, and he was born in Haoqiang, and his subordinates gathered more than 50,000 people, and these more than 50,000 people were all his relatives.

This makes it difficult for Di Qing to do, you say attack Lei Xu! Some people will definitely be killed, but once they are killed, it will increase the difficulty of recruiting these 50,000 people.

You must know that in ancient times, the sense of identity with relatives was much stronger than in modern times, and they were all brothers who fought tigers, fathers and sons, and this is the case.

If Di Qing wants to kill, he has to kill all 50,000 people, or it's better not to kill them.

Di Qing was not a killer, he really wanted to bring Lei Xu over. And what about Lei Xu! also intended to surrender, but he was not worried about the promise given by Di Qing.

Di Qing made a lot of guarantees to Lei Xu, and even went to Lei Xu's house alone to express his sincerity once. But Lei Xu just didn't feel at ease, he had to think about his family.

Di Qing dragged on here for half a month, and there was really no way, so he had to write a letter to Zhang Yi.

After Zhang Yi received the letter, he was also a little embarrassed, Lei Xu's matter was really not easy to handle. He summoned several capable people around him, Li Jing, Wang Xiang and Chen Jiao, who was still in Shu County.

"There are more than 50,000 people in Lei Xu's department, all of whom are Lei Xu's relatives, and Di Hanchen intends to recruit Lei Xu. Lei Xu also intends to surrender, but he doesn't trust Di Qing, what should I do? ”

Wang Xiang said: "Lei Xu attaches great importance to his relatives, and when Yuan Shu was weak, he broke away from Yuan Shu and gathered his relatives together. He did this to protect his relatives, and neither Liu Xun nor Li Shu could help him. If the lord wants to recruit Lei Xu, he must be reassured. ”

Chen Jiao asked, "How can I rest assured?" If he is allowed to take his relatives again, what is the difference between surrendering and not surrendering? ”

Zhang Yi also said: "I will definitely not let Lei Xu be like this, his relatives will definitely be split, if he doesn't agree, I can only use thunder means." ”

Wang Xiang said: "My lord, Lei Xu has too many relatives and is too widely involved, and he is afraid that it will cause panic in the county." ”

Zhang Yi nodded, that's true, if these 50,000 people are killed, I'm afraid that everyone in Lujiang County will think that Zhang Yi is the Demon King of Murder, right?

Li Jing laughed at this time: "At this time, it is simple, the lord can recruit Lei Xu as a general, and recruit 5,000 people from his relatives as soldiers." In this way, Lei Xu will definitely agree to surrender, even if the lord asks to separate Lei Xu's relatives, Lei Xu will not have too many opinions. ”

Chen Jiao asked: "So Lei Xu still has heavy troops, what should I do if I have a different heart?" ”

Zhang Yi nodded and said: "This strategy is very good, if Lei Xu has any other intentions, it will be much easier to deal with." ”

Chen Jiao and Wang Xiang didn't quite understand, and Zhang Yi didn't mind making his words clearer, "It's much easier to deal with 5,000 people than to deal with 50,000 people." ”

Chen Jiao and Wang Xiang felt a pang in their hearts at this time, knowing that their lord was not a soft-hearted person. But I am also glad, because soft-hearted people can't stand in troubled times at all.

Lei Xu wandered in the western part of Anhui County, and Zhang Yi attacked Pengze County, just passing through Anhui County. Therefore, Zhang Yi directly led the army and stationed in Anhui County first.

Fu Youde led the officials of Anhui County out of the city to greet Zhang Yi, and after Zhang Yi arrived in Anhui County, he sent someone to send his letter to Di Qing with a seal ribbon.

Di Qing received Zhang Yi's letter, and immediately went to find Lei Xu after reading it. Lei Xu met Di Qing, "What is the matter with Di Taishou looking for me?" ”

Di Qing said: "My lord has been appointed by the imperial court as the general of Zhendong Yichenghou, today the lord of the letter can appoint the general as the general of Jianyi, you can choose 5,000 people from the general's relatives as a trilogy, and the rest of the people will be placed around Chaohu Lake by my lord, divided into Shu County, Longshu, Hefei, Junxuan, Juchao, Linhu and other places, these places have newly opened up fields, as long as you get there, each person can be divided into three acres of fertile land, and tax exemption for three years. ”

Lei Xu stood up from his seat in shock, "Is this true?" ”

Of course Lei Xu couldn't believe it, there were more than 50,000 people in his family, and each person was divided into three acres of fertile land, which was 150,000 mu.

Di Qing said: "My lord said that this year people will continue to open up the land, and it may be necessary to help the young people in the general's family to strive to open up all the land before next year's spring ploughing." ”

Lei Xu listened to it, and then he was relieved. He is not a fool, if Di Qing still said the same before, Lei Xu would definitely not believe it, and even suspected that Zhang Yi might want to trick him out and then do something to him.

What Di Qing said later was in line with the actual situation, and Lei Xu was relieved. Although it may be necessary to open up the wasteland by himself, this proves that Zhang Yi really wants him to belong. 150,000 acres of fertile land, but a big promise, Lei Xu even felt a little flattered.

Di Qing took out the seal ribbon and said to Lei Xu: "General, the seal ribbon is here, if the general agrees, we will be a family." ”

Lei Xu looked at the seal ribbon on Di Qing's hand, and his eyes were hot. He still attaches great importance to his official position, otherwise he would not defect to Yuan Shu.

Now that his relatives have been settled, and he has also got a big official, he naturally doesn't want to occupy the mountain as the king, and he doesn't want to follow in Chen Lan's footsteps.

"Lei Xu is willing to surrender!"
