The fire was gradually extinguished, and the noisy noise in the city began to slowly quiet down, and after capturing a number of bandits who took the opportunity to set fire and rob, Cai Zhoujun also realized that he needed to control the situation in the city immediately, otherwise the situation in the city would become out of control. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But even so, Yingzhou City is already in a mess.

In fact, the biggest saboteur was neither the Huaiyou Army nor the Caizhou Army, but Ryazan's Tooth Army.

Most of these tooth armies were homeless bandits recruited by Ryazan from Yanzhou and Yunzhou.

From last year to this year, the continuous floods and droughts in the Yanzhou and Yunzhou areas have greatly reduced the harvest, causing the number of displaced people to skyrocket and wander around.

Ryazan had stationed troops in Fengxian, Peixian and Tengxian counties north of Xuzhou before serving as the training envoy of the Yingbo regiment, and was also familiar with the gentry in Yanzhou and Yunzhou.

The situation in Huaibei itself is better than that in Yanzhou and Yunzhou, so there are many soldiers.

These people are not from Yingzhou in the first place, and they have always only obeyed the command of Ryazan, and they only know that there are Ryazan in Yingzhou, but they don't know that there are others.

The people in the Yunzhou area of Yanzhou themselves are strong, and there are many brave and ruthless people among the people, these recruited refugees belong to this category, plus Ryazan's intentional leniency, so although this tooth army has been in the army for a short time and has poor military discipline, its combat effectiveness is not bad, especially for street battles, which are better at melee in the city.

Because he is only loyal to Ryazan, he has always been quite popular with Ryazan.

When they saw Ryazan's head hanging high, this army realized that if they scattered and fled, they were afraid that none of them would survive, so they simply organized themselves to fight to the death, but they caught Lu Tongbu off guard.

Later, although this tooth army was dispersed, it was more harmful to disperse, and it was not until Gu Huabu arrived at the east gate and learned the news that he sent people to recruit them, so that a few of them with better military discipline and formation were pulled back to the east gate and accepted the reorganization.

Originally, there were still 350,000 residents in the city of Yingzhou, most of these were gentry and merchants who fled into the city from Shenqiu County and the surrounding countryside when the ant thieves ravaged Yingzhou, of course, more of them were some people who were afraid of thieves, but this war broke out suddenly, which made the situation in Yingzhou City very bad, and the propaganda of Wuwentang made a large number of residents flee out of the city, and fled to Yingshang, Shangcai and Huaiyou and Bozhou farther away.

Compared with the more than 10,000 households and 60,000 or 70,000 people a few days ago, there are now less than 3,000 households and more than 10,000 people remaining in the city.

Yuan Huaiqing, Yuan Huaide, and Yuan Wuwei's faces were all a little cold, and Yuan Wenyu's death in battle gave them a heavy blow.

No one would have thought that in a good situation, Yuan Wenyu would actually be slaughtered by others.

The situation at that time, Yuan Huaide and Yuan Wuwei asked repeatedly, and there were not too many surprises.

In Er Yuan's opinion, it was Yuan Wenyu who was too big and charged too forward, and was ambushed by the enemy, and the other party was two heaven-level masters, and even the martial arts level was higher than Yuan Wenyu, in this case, Yuan Wenyu was able to escape, but it was a little abnormal.

Unexpectedly, there were such masters hidden in Lu Long's army, and the two Yuan realized that their understanding of the situation in the Heshuo area was too shallow, which was another important reason why Yuan Wenyu was killed.

The sound of hooves was sounding, and Yuan Huaide was also thinking about how to explain the matter to Yuan Huaihe.

If there was no Yuan Wenyu, it should be said that the battle of Yingzhou would have been a complete victory.

Even if Yingzhou City is now hugely damaged, for Caizhou, it doesn't matter.

In this battle, the Caizhou army only paid less than 5,000 people to take Yingzhou City, and with the addition of the two armies that Lu Tong came to throw, it should be said that the losses of the Caizhou army were basically the same.

But the results were enormous.

Shang Yunliu's troops were defeated, and it is estimated that more than 10,000 people can escape back to Bozhou, no more than two armies.

Ryazan's Yingzhou army was swept away, and Gu Hua's troops fled to Huaiyou with only a few thousand people, and the remnants of Ryazan's Ya army were not enough to make up an army.

It can be said that there is no decent force in the two states to block the advance of the Caizhou army.

Of course, this is because Yuan Huaide did not count Huaiyou, in his opinion, Jiang Feng is quite good at taking advantage of the stuffy stick, if he wants to let go of his old family to fight for Yingbo, it is absolutely impossible.

As for Xuzhou, Yuan Huaide couldn't see how much spare strength the Shi family could spare to reinforce Bozhou, unless the Shi family really ignored the threat of the northern Liang and wanted to give up Xuzhou to the Liang.

Sensing that Yuan Huaide and Yuan Wuwei's mood was gloomy, Yuan Huaiqing could only sigh in his heart, he was the boss, and he needed to take responsibility for this battle no matter whether he won or lost.

"Ninth brother, third brother, don't be too entangled, if every time a battle is a child of another family killed, our Yuan clan is unscathed, I'm afraid no one will serve our Yuan family in the future." ”

Yuan Huaide raised his eyebrows, "Brother De, this is not right, when did our Yuan clan disciples come out unscathed? Lao Nineteen even lost one of his hands, and Lao Qi almost died, and now he is still in retreat, is this unscathed? I am not the same as the tablet in the Yuan ancestral hall in the last battle? Zhao Lan is gone, I am also very sad, but this is the price that our Yuan clan must pay if we want to rise, there has never been a person who succeeds without dying, everyone is the same! We have to have this awareness!"

Yuan Huaiqing saw that Yuan Huaide was angry, and hurriedly said: "Ninth brother, I said something wrong, I said something wrong, but Wen Yu's matter is indeed a little difficult to explain, this battle has such a fork in front of the dominant situation, hey, I don't know what to say when I see the eldest brother in the future." ”

"Huaiqing, now is not the time to think about these things, you are the boss, what should we do next? How can we maximize the results of this battle, this is what we need to consider now!"

Yuan Huaide was a little annoyed, and said that this Lao Qing was calm and thoughtful, why did he die of a child and become such a mother-in-law?

Hearing that Yuan Huaide was already a little dissatisfied in his words, Yuan Huaiqing then collected his thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "I mean to see Huaiyou's movements, now that the Huaiyou Army has retreated to the south, I am a little worried about whether they will be entrenched in Yingshang? There is also Shangcai, facing each other across Huaizhou from Shouzhou, and now the Huaiyou Navy is rampant, I am afraid that we will not be able to gain a foothold in Shangcai for a while." ”

"Shang Cai won't talk about it for the time being, but Yingshang is afraid that he can't let Huai You occupy it. Yuan Huaide took the reins of the horse and frowned.

"But if the Huaiyou Army is based on Yingshang and relies on the naval army, we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to succeed. Yuan Huaiqing shook his head.

"Third child, what do you think?"

Yuan Huaide is not a person who does not know how to advance and retreat, he knows very well that this kind of thing can not be rash, if Huaiyou is defended according to Yingshang County, although the small wall of Yingshang County is broken, but if more than 10,000 troops are defended, and the Huaiyou Navy can attack and disturb the rear at any time, the battle of Caizhou Army is really not easy to fight.

Yuan Wuwei was also a little embarrassed.

Speaking from the inside, he felt that it seemed that in the past few years, Caizhou had not suffered too much loss against other feudal domains, and even against Daliang, but in the face of Huaiyou, a freak, he was repeatedly frustrated, which made Yuan Wuwei feel a little shadowy in his heart.

Every time he faced Huaiyou, Yuan Wuwei never predicted Huaiyou's moves, like this time, I thought that Huaiyou saw that the general trend had gone, so he should take the initiative to retreat to the south of Huaishui, but I didn't expect these guys to dare to break into Yingzhou City to stir up peace, and even killed Yuan Wenyu, which made Caizhou very injured.

If his prediction is correct, I am afraid that this Yingshang has now been taken by Huaiyou, and relying on the advantage of the water army, the Caizhou army will take Yingshang from Huai's right hand, and the price paid will not be small.

This is not in line with Caizhou's strategy for the future.

"Uncle Qing, Uncle Jiu, I think we need to look at the problem outside of Yingzhou. After a long time, Yuan Wuwei said in a deep voice.

"Oh?" Yuan Huaiqing and Yuan Huaide exchanged glances, "Third child, you say." ”

"Let's go back to the assassination first, and then let's talk about it in detail. Yuan Wuwei has already gone through his thoughts in detail, and he has some bottom in his heart, if he follows his own ideas, he may be able to win back a game.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

The knock on the door made the whole alley seem to wake up at once.

Jiang Feng had actually woken up a long time ago, but he didn't want to get up a little, so he came to knock on the door at this time, and he didn't want to rest this night.

Although he thought he was very dedicated, he still felt that this position was not easy to sit in.

Xu Jing took her husband's hand away from her chest under her belly pocket a little shyly, and whispered, "Erlang, there's something going on outside." ”

"Of course I know something, will it be okay to knock on the door at this time?" Jiang Feng said angrily: "Am I too modest, so that the people below think that it is natural to knock on the door later?"

"Erlang, you can't say that, your identity and position are different, this is your responsibility. Xu Jing had already gotten up and put on her clothes, and got out of bed to dress her husband, who was a little lazy and unenergetic.

Outside, Ju Hui had already gotten up first under Wu Fang's service, and seemed to be still talking to the other party, and his voice was a little blurry, but Jiang Feng knew that it was either Cui Shang or Zheng Hong.

Needless to say, Cui Shang is his own marching Sima, and Zheng Hong is now the push official in the defense and capture envoy's mansion, and the task given to him by Jiang Feng is to plan Yingzhou.

Zheng's base is in Huoqiu, and Huoqiu is separated from Yingzhou and Shangcai, and Zheng's was originally moved from Yingshang in the Tang Dynasty, so he has always had a lot of dealings with the wealthy gentry in Yingzhou, and after determining the Yingzhou strategy, Jiang Feng was already thinking about how to make Caizhou unable to swallow Yingzhou comfortably, so it is a matter of course to create some trouble in Yingzhou.
