Zhang Yi quickly received the news from Luoyang City, and at the same time, Zhang Yi received a very important news in Jizhou City, that is, Zhang Jiao visited famous doctors in the city again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Knowing that Zhang Jiao was looking for a doctor, Zhang Yi understood that Zhang Jiao's condition seemed to be aggravated.

In history, Zhang Jiao died of illness, and there is no record of what the disease was in the official history, but there are two versions in the wild history, one is kidney disease, and the other is lung disease, but in Zhang Yi's opinion, Zhang Jiao's death has nothing to do with what is not sick, because when the old immortal of Nanhua passed on his Taiping technique, he clearly said to him, "Pass on your book to save all sentient beings, and if you have a strange heart, you will be punished by heaven."

The words have been said very clearly, but as the saying goes, good words are difficult to persuade ghosts who want to die, Zhang Jiao felt that his power was enough to overthrow the Han Dynasty and stand on his own, so he rebelled, who knew that the Han Dynasty was not exhausted, and his uprising could only become like Zhang Yi, the east wind of ambitious and capable people, without his shareholder wind, the regime of the Eastern Han Dynasty would not have been overthrown early.

Of course, those are all afterthoughts, and Zhang Yi only cares about the mother and son in Jizhou City at the moment, and he doesn't care about anything else.

In the past month, under Zhang Yi's instructions, Pingling City was razed to the ground by Guan Yu and them.

It was inevitable for Zhang Yi to demolish Pingling City, he could not put a lone army in Pingling City, and Pingling City was a fortified city that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it would be unfavorable to him no matter who occupied it in the future, so Zhang Yi ordered the demolition of Pingling City at that time.

In addition to Pingling City, Zhang Yi also ordered to demolish all the cities that he can reach now, because these places are not Zhang Yi's own sphere of influence, and it is impossible for the imperial court to let himself occupy them.

It may not be possible to build a city in a month or two, but demolishing a city is not a big problem, with an army of 10,000 or 20,000 going together, even a strong city like Pingling City has been demolished by Zhang Yi's demolition team, not to mention other cities.

Under Zhang Yi's instructions, in just one month, Pingling, Gaoyang, Hejian, Yingchuan and other cities were all demolished, and in order to demolish the city, Zhang Yi also expanded the army on a large scale, because after the expansion of the army, he had the remaining hired labor, Zhang Yi This is equivalent to converting the money for hired labor into military salary, and the recruits' enlistment training has also changed from running around the city in the past to doing manual work.

At first, Cao Cao and they didn't understand what Zhang Yi demolished the city for, but soon they figured out that Zhang Yi was planning for the future, because it is much easier to demolish a city than to build a city, and the subsequent construction of a city requires much more than the cost of demolishing the city.

After understanding Zhang Yi's purpose, Cao Cao and others immediately jointly wrote a letter, asking the court to punish Zhang Yi's crimes, but their letter was intercepted before it reached Luoyang, and even if it reached the ears of He Jin and Emperor Han Ling, Zhang Yi was not afraid, because the troops in Zhang Yi's hands now, excluding the 250,000 Yellow Turbans, if only the Han army is counted, it has far exceeded the 230,000 in the heyday of the Han army, reaching 360,000, which is to reduce the 80,000 lost by Zhang Yi when he exterminated the Yellow Turban Army, and the 60,000 that Zhang Yi picked out from the prisoners of war. In other words, 150,000 strong men were conscripted into the army in the past month.

Recruiting 150,000 strong men into the army in a month sounds like a fantasy, especially in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, but in fact it is not a difficult task, because the scope of Zhang Yi's conscription is too large, from Youzhou to Jizhou, and then to Yuzhou, as well as Qingzhou and Yanzhou, which are adjacent between Jizhou and Yuzhou, as well as Zhang Yi's original sphere of influence and state, Zhang Yi's conscription range has reached as many as six states, and Zhang Yi's military salary is far more than double the military salary stipulated in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

In addition to conscription, Zhang Yi also asked Guan Yu to mobilize the migration of the people, especially the recruits who enlisted, Zhang Yi was even more strict that all those who enlisted, their families must move to Bingzhou, because Zhang Yi did not want to have a situation like Guan Yu back then, after Jingzhou was captured, the soldiers surrendered without a fight, and the reason was because the soldiers' families were in Jingzhou.

As for mobilizing the migration of the people, Zhang Yi was motivated by two considerations, one is that the population of the merged state is larger, and his own strength will be greatly strengthened; Second, after the end of the war, the people were displaced, many people lost their homes, Zhang Yi hoped to give them a stable environment to live and work in peace and contentment, and it was precisely because of the more refugees that Zhang Yi's migration work was carried out smoothly, under the influence of Zhang Yi's migration, Jizhou, Youzhou, Yuzhou and other places that were most seriously affected by the war, really reached ten rooms and nine empty, and the people were escorted by the Dingping Army, along Zhang Yi's southward route, large-scale migration to Dai County and Yanmen County.

The large-scale migration of the people, which is different from the march to fight, from the start of the migration to the beginning of the migration, it took as much as half a month, and the completion of the migration was more than half a month, after Chen Gong's preliminary calculation, it would take two months to complete Zhang Yi's plan, which is only the minimum estimate, that is to say, Zhang Yi will push back the war by two months, which is why Zhang Yi asked the imperial court for food, and half of the grain was transported to Bingzhou.

Zhang Yi planned everything that should be planned, but the things that couldn't be planned made him really anxious, such as the problem of Zhang Ning and the child, in order to solve this key problem, Zhang Yi immediately led troops to surround Jizhou City after calculating that Zhang Ning's confinement time was over, and Zhang Yi sent troops very suddenly this time, Cao Cao They didn't react at all, and the Dingping Army surrounded Jizhou City.

"What? Zhang Yi sent troops? ”

After learning that Zhang Yi was besieging the city, Sun Jian, who was still with Cao Cao, was so shocked that he immediately stood up, with an incredulous expression.

Cao Cao, who was still repairing the book to He Jin, immediately put down the pen in his hand after hearing Tanma's return: "What's the matter?" Zhang Yi did it? How is this possible? Isn't his illness still healed? Why did you suddenly lead troops to attack the city? ”

"It's too weird, Zhang Yibing sent to Jizhou?" Also frowning, Guo Jia muttered, "Zhang Yi shouldn't attack Jizhou City alone, right?" He's not so stupid, he should have let us cooperate, and he won't attack the city alone. ”

Cao Cao and Guo Jia were also surprised, they didn't expect Zhang Yi to send troops to attack Jizhou City today, because they had only visited Zhang Yi the day before yesterday, and at that time, Zhang Yi's men were still blocking and not allowing them to see, saying that Zhang Yi's condition had worsened, why did he suddenly lead troops to attack the city today? Of course, this is Zhang Yi and Cao Cao's careful eyes.

"Lord Qiqi, after the siege of the Dingping army, the city was not attacked, and the former general seemed to be talking to the people in the city."

"Talk?"

Tanma's report made Cao Cao even more puzzled, he turned his head to look at Sun Jian, and asked, "Could it be that Zhang Yi is persuading him to surrender?" Or did he already know Zhang Jiao's thief? ”

"I don't know," shaking his head, Sun Jian said: "Brother Meng De, no matter what, we should go and see it right now, and we can find out what is going on when we go." ”

Nodding continuously, Cao Cao reached out and grabbed his saber and said, "Wentai is reasonable, let's go!" ”

Cao Cao and Sun Jian, who were anxious to know the situation, did not even integrate the soldiers and horses, and only led their own soldiers to Jizhou City in a hurry, at the same time, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and Liu Bei also each took a few men and horses, and hurried to Jizhou City, they all hurried to Jizhou City after learning that Zhang Yi's soldiers surrounded Jizhou City.

Just when everyone from all walks of life was rushing towards Jizhou City, Zhang Yi and Zhang Jiao under Jizhou City had already met.

Riding on a horse, squinting at Zhang Yi, Zhang Jiao said in a low voice: "Good son-in-law, let's meet again." ”

At this time, Zhang Jiao's cheeks were slightly red, but his forehead and chin were sallow without a trace of blood, which looked very strange.

"Father-in-law," smiled and arched his hand at Zhang Jiao, Zhang Yi looked at Zhang Jiao's face, and said, "The son-in-law came today to take them home, and they have been bothering you for a long time these days." ”

Although he was chatting with Zhang Jiao, in fact, Zhang Yi was secretly trying to find out about Zhang Jiao's condition in his heart.

Zhang Yi, who has experience in the previous life, knows that Zhang Jiao will cast a spell to borrow his life after the onset of the disease, which is similar to the life span of Zhuge Liang Shi Seven Star Lantern in the next life, but Zhang Jiao's is more ruthless, Zhuge Liang is only borrowing for twelve years, and he is borrowing for fifty years, so the casting is different, Zhuge Liang only needs to cast the spell once, while he needs to cast the spell three times, but in the end there is no doubt that he failed, but at this time, Zhang Jiao obviously succeeded in casting the spell for the first time, so he had this red light illusion.

Looking at Zhang Yi's smiling face, Zhang Jiaopi said with a smile: "It took more than 100,000 troops to pick up my daughter-in-law, I said virtuous son-in-law, you have such a big pomp." ”

"Huh,"

Grinning, Zhang Yi said loudly: "How can I say that I am also a former general appointed by the emperor himself, so there is naturally a little bit of pomp and circumstance." ”

"Hmph,"

With a cold smile, Zhang Jiao looked at where Zhang Yi was standing, then turned his head to look at the wall behind him, turned his head and said, "Two hundred and fifty steps, I said that you are really cautious, son-in-law, what?" Are you afraid that my father-in-law will assassinate you? Don't worry, my men are not as brave as the general you just sent, and they won't be able to shoot two hundred paces. ”

Zhang Yi and Zhang Jiao were able to talk under the city because Zhang Yi sent Huang Zhong to shoot a letter to the city, which meant to ask Zhang Jiao to go down the city, and the two hundred and fifty steps Zhang Jiao said refers to the distance between Zhang Yi's position and the city wall, which is the distance that archers can't shoot, that is to say, Zhang Yi met with Zhang Jiao, the old man, and was still careful in his heart.

also raised his eyes and looked at the head of Jizhou City, and vaguely Zhang Yi really saw a few crossbowmen.
