After years of development, Jinyang Academy has been able to provide enough talents for the state, and there is no need to look at the face of the family.

It was late at night, but Xu You couldn't sleep, if Lu Bu sent troops to Jizhou at this time, the situation would be so critical for Jizhou, everything before was just the speculation of Jizhou's strategists.

"Forget it, everything has its own number." Xu You muttered, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Yecheng, since the Youzhou army appeared outside the city, the city has fallen into a tense atmosphere, there is a Youzhou army outside the city, but the city gate is in a closed state, especially the wolf riding is powerful, after it is transmitted to the army, it is to let the generals in the army extinguish the idea of going out of the city and competing with the state army.

Along with this, the price of rice and grain is rising, and more people in the city rely on the fields outside the city to survive, or become tenants of the family, such a scene makes many people lose the source of life, relying on the surplus grain at home to survive, it is never a long-term strategy, in this case, it is natural that people's hearts are fluctuating.

The Zhen family, since Zhen Yao personally went to Bingzhou to meet and negotiate with Lu Bu and provide food and grass to the Bingzhou army, it has become a lot more low-key, Bingzhou is the enemy of Jizhou after all, if Yuan Shao knows about the Zhen family's actions, it will definitely be a disaster for the Zhen family.

Although the strength of the family in Jizhou is huge, it is not arrogant enough to compete with Yuan Shao.

And after Lu Bu agreed to marry the daughter of the Zhen family, it made the Zhen family secretly excited, what kind of identity Lu Bu is, even if he is now standing on the opposite side of the Han family, as long as he can come out of this disaster, looking at the world, who can be the enemy.

However, when the princes' alliance army really came to Huguan, the Zhen family was shaken, and the family considered their vital interests more often, and the strength of the state army was beyond doubt, but the princes' alliance army had more than 200,000 people, and the army strength of the state against the more than 200,000 princes alliance army always gave people a feeling of hitting a stone with an egg.

After the death of Zhen Yi, the head of the Zhen family, the Zhen family once fell into a state of depression, and the critical moment was when the Zhang family stood up to preside over the situation.

Zhang's confidence lies in the trust in Lu Bu, from Lu Bu to the present, the state has experienced many crises, but Lu Bu can be resolved one by one at the critical moment, and make the state stronger, so that the princes dare not take the edge, after seizing Chang'an, the strength of the state has risen to the point that the princes are afraid, otherwise they will not jointly attack the state soon after Lu Bu seized Chang'an, this is the absolute strength.

Of course, all this was carried out in secret, and when the state army was at war with the coalition army of the princes, it was mentioned in Jizhou that it was involved with Lu Bu, and it was undoubtedly sent to death.

After the news of the Youzhou army's attack on Jizhou came, the Zhang family was a little more stable, and the strong combat effectiveness shown by the Youzhou army made the Zhen family unswervingly stand on Lu Bu's front, and even made the Zhang family temporarily shirk Xin Ping's proposal to marry Zhen Mi Xu to Yuan Xi.

"Since the Youzhou army was stationed in Yecheng, the hearts of the people in the city have fluctuated, but the family in Jizhou is extremely repulsive to the Youzhou army, you and others must be careful when they act in the future, and there must be no mistakes. Zhang said in a low voice.

Zhen Yao and Zhen Yan nodded, but they couldn't hide their excitement in their hearts, but they were extremely admirable for Zhang's vision, and only three people in the Zhen family knew about the merger of the state at this time, and the more people who knew about this kind of thing, the more likely it was that the news would leak.

"Mother, now that the Youzhou Army is outside the city, if the Zhen family helps the Youzhou Army capture Yecheng, wouldn't it be a great achievement." Zhen Yan's voice was full of excitement.

Zhang shook his head slightly and said: "At this time, there are thousands of troops in the city, and Hugh should think that the officials of Jizhou are defenseless against the family, especially the Zhen family, which is a business family, and it is the focus of Jizhou's defense. ”

"Mother, the child has heard that Ye Hou has led the Jizhou army back to Jizhou, if Ye Hou returns to Jizhou, I'm afraid it will be a little late." Zhen Yao couldn't help but ask.

Zhang said with a smile: "Now the princes' coalition army is defeated outside Huguan, and the strength of the state army can be seen in general, even if it is what can be done after Ye Hou returns to Yecheng, if the Marquis of Jin is bent on attacking Jizhou, it is not the Jizhou army at this time can be stopped, Youzhou has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and the state army has not been without the strength of a battle, if the Zhen family is exposed prematurely and the Marquis of Jin does not have the heart to attack Jizhou, wouldn't it put the Zhen family in danger." ”

"Before you do anything, you have to think about it before you make a decision." Zhang took the opportunity to teach.

The two nodded yes.

The news of the defeat of the princes' coalition army outside Huguan was definitely not good news for Jizhou at this time, and after the Youzhou army learned of this, their morale was high.

Although it is the Youzhou Military Department, the generals of the Youzhou Army are also extremely concerned about the war in Youzhou, they are under the command of Lu Bu, if the Merge is lost, it will greatly affect the safety of Youzhou, in fact, Lu Bu did not use the Youzhou Army, the generals of the Youzhou Army are a little incomprehensible, in their opinion, the more soldiers and horses gathered in Huguan, the more beneficial it is to hold Jizhou.

Now it seems that Lu Bu was ready to attack Jizhou when the princes' coalition army attacked Jizhou, and the soldiers of the Youzhou army were secretly prepared, and they only waited for Guo Jia's order to launch a general attack on Yecheng.

Yecheng City is high and deep, Yuan Shao has been operating here for many years, but the Youzhou army is not afraid.

Guo Jia glanced at Zhang Liao, who was at the forefront of the generals, and said: "General Zhang, the scout has sent news that the army stationed in the river has set off and is ready to support Yecheng, I think it was an order from Yuan Shao to let him gallop to Yecheng, this official ordered you to lead two thousand wolf cavalry, and be sure to defeat the Jizhou army led by Gao Ran, I don't know if General Zhang can be confident?" In his opinion, this was Yuan Shao's most failed move under panic.

Zhang Liao said in a deep voice: "The last general is willing to make a military order. ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Okay, with General Zhang personally going out, he will definitely be able to win." ”
