Draw the army out of the mountains.

Xu Zhen's promised grain and grass were delivered, as well as minced meat and wine, so that they could have a full meal.

Then he told these soldiers about the tragic situation outside Yuyang City, and how the high pavilion in Yuyang City was as stable as Mount Tai, and the heavy city gate several feet high had never been opened at all.

Xu Zhen said this news in front of him, so the nearby lieutenants all fell into a long silence, looking down at the ground and refusing to look up.

They don't know if their relatives are among them, but they can imagine what kind of human purgatory is outside Yuyang City.

It wasn't until a long time later that someone looked up and asked, "Junhou, do you want me to lead the army to attack Yuyang?" ”

The expression on Xu Zhen's face disappeared, "Do you want to attack?" ”

"Surrendering to sincerity and getting food is the same as living another life, and the prince's use of soldiers is terrifying, then he should be dead before, and now he is working for the prince."

"That Youzhou Yuan Xi, perverse, and the Son of Heaven as an enemy, not a Ming Lord, we are trapped in the mountains, he never came to rescue, and drove the people away, just to save their lives."

"Yuyang, a solid fortress, was built by us, and the villain is willing to destroy it again."

"I want too!"

"I'm the same!!"

For a while, the crowd was excited, and the anger in their hearts was ignited by this person's words, they joined the army and worked hard to earn money to support their families, and some were to become famous and profitable, so that they could become a family.

Now, when the family is gone, what is there to talk about, Yuan Xi acts like this, which makes people desperate.

Once they lose their value, they will be greeted by the fate of an abandoned son.

"Then, please make meritorious contributions to break the city, and my army will definitely follow behind!"

Xu Zhen stood up, saluted the generals present with a bowl of wine, and finally pointed at the gesture and handed another bowl of wine to him.

After getting up, his expression was excited, his face was heavy, his eyes were blazing, he took the bowl of wine with both hands, and he glanced at the generals around him, and said loudly: "Everyone! Relatives are separated, and the home is not protected! What is the battle!? ”

"Now it's time to come back to life! Meritorious service! In the future, you can build a home again, what is your home, it is nothing more than the people, there are more than 100,000 people in Yuyang City, and you can get the benefits of politics when you capture Yuyang! ”

"Drink this bowl of wine and go to the charge!"

"Drink!"

The corners of Xu Zhen's mouth raised, laughed softly, and exhaled loudly: "Everyone, please drink!" Although you are all defectors, you are still considered dead, and 40,000 people are paid military salaries! Die twice for your family, survive for three! ”

"If I break the city, I have to see your family members, I don't dare to support you, but I will never let Youzhou be starving all over the place, and cool officials are rampant!"

"Whoa!"

Hundreds of generals, centurions, etc., drank it all at the time, swallowed the wine and smashed the bowl heroically.

The sonorous sound suddenly rang out, and the corners of Xu Zhen's mouth twitched suddenly, and the corners of his eyes continued to tremble.

"What are you doing when you throw a bowl......

This is all made by the Tiangong Institute, the pottery burning process is extremely high, and it is worth a lot of money to sell, more than 100 bowls, you are still very strong.

"No," Dian Wei listened to Xu Zhen's words, looked down at the debris under his feet in embarrassment, and whispered: "The atmosphere is here, and it always feels like something is missing if you don't fall." ”

Xu Zhen: "......"

……

The next night, after a night's rest.

His physical strength recovered a little, and his body was quite healthy, so he took the repaired fine-forged iron armor and set off overnight with his soldiers and horses.

Xu Zhen led the army behind, and Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu led the troops in front to encircle Yuyang City.

Although this city has been built by Yuan Xi to be solid and difficult to enter, it has no mountains to rely on, and it cannot be defended according to danger.

Once besieged, it can be surrounded in all directions and occupy all the main roads.

However, Xu Zhen did not choose to besiege this tower.

A city wall was left for the Yuan army to escape, and on that side was Xu Chu's school sword army of 20,000 people ambushed in the far mountains and forests, main roads, and broken bridges.

And on the first night, it was actually a trick to attack the pavilion.

This night, Yuan Jun's military spirit collapsed.

The lieutenant generals under his command, as well as the original peers, were all attacking with all their might, and at the same time shouting to persuade them to surrender.

The south gate guards, the sergeants were unwilling to force the guard, and they were unwilling to fight hard, and some people were even persuaded to surrender and wanted to open the city gate to welcome them.

It's a pity that at the last moment, Yuan Xi was driven to the town to kill, which stopped the turmoil in the army's heart, but after this night, Yuan Xi's military spirit could not be boosted.

Then, after two or three days, someone finally couldn't bear it anymore and opened the door.

As soon as the gates of this tower opened, even the tallest walls were useless.

This night, the furious Yuan Xi took advantage of the Xu army to kill before entering the city, directly slaughtered tens of thousands of people, as well as thousands of people in the army who were shaken in their hearts, like ghosts and gods, so that the soldiers were afraid and regretted, and the people who opened the city gates, the whole family died in front of them.

Yuan Xi didn't leave any affection, killed someone, and fled from the north, with thousands of henchmen and cavalry with him, and all the war horses in the entire Yuyang City Tower, he had already called all his henchmen and horses to take away.

At this time, Yuan Xi had not collapsed, but was just a little crazy.

In the midst of crying and wailing, he killed the northern city, grabbed the reins and looked back at the city, his eyes were already blood-red.

Gritted his teeth and muttered, "Xu Bowen, Xu Bowen." ”

"I'm not afraid of you, I'm not afraid of you!"

"I see how long you can protect Youzhou, as long as I Yuan Xi is not dead, Youzhou will have no peace!"

Out of Lulong, you can be safe outside the fortress, and once Lulongsai is not well guarded, you can kill it back at any time.

Yuan Xi abandoned the city and left, not wanting any city in this huge Youzhou, but he still had henchmen and dead soldiers to follow, and these people were all orphans cultivated with Yuan's kindness.

has no family, so he has already handed over his life to the Yuan family.

They can also go outside the Saiwai to mingle with Badun, with Yuan Xi's thousands of elite horsemen, Bandun wants to unify the nearby clans must be like a tiger with wings.

The same can survive.

As long as Yuan Xi can still gain a foothold and does not die in the war, he can make a comeback in the future, even if it is to rob the people everywhere, so that Xu Zhen's so-called internal affairs of enriching the people must not be implemented.

That's the only thing he can do right now.

After Yuan Xi left, the gate of Yuyang, a high-rise city tower, was immediately opened, and Xu Zhen led the army in, and his headquarters lost less than 3,000 soldiers and horses.

All the dead were the dead under the command of Zhao, and now there are more than 13,000 of these people left.

The rest were all paid military salaries, two copies for the dead and three shares for the living, and Xu Zhen did not break his promise.

Grain, five baht money, gold, and cloth were mainly distributed to everyone on the military registration list.

The remaining sergeants wept bitterly and hugged each other.

Since Yuan Shao's death, the reward for charging into battle has never been cashed out, and now that the coach has changed, the money is really paid, and it will be issued immediately after the war, without any delay.

With wealth in hand, the morale of the army is certainly excited.

This night's celebration led people to pay tribute to the dead brothers, and then won the hearts of Xu Zhen for him.

Therefore, these soldiers and horses returned to their hearts, and they were promoted to the position.

I have been busy for three days, slowly cleaning up the corpses and collapsed places outside the city.

Xu Zhen ordered a military report to be sent again, asking Cao Cao to send troops and horses to take over the defense.

Seven more days passed.

Cao Cao led the tiger and leopard cavalry, Cao Ren's soldiers and horses slowly approached Yuyang City County, stationed outside, Cao Cao led the Chinese army into the city to settle down, began to distribute food, and set local policies.

At the same time, he was transferred to a person with both ability and political integrity, and went to the counties of Youzhou to be the Taishou.

Yuyang Office, in the main hall.

Xu Zhen is carefully checking the summary aspirations of various places, as well as the presentation forms sent by officials, as well as the officials who are self-recommended and recommended by scholars.

In front of him, there were three or four boxes of gold and jade, and cloth.

Xu Zhen put down the letter, then glanced at the gifts sent not far away, and said softly with a cold face: "This Youzhou Cheng family, the family is no longer appointed. ”

"These three boxes of money will be returned, and the people who will be sent will be beaten with ten sticks."

"Whoa!"

Zhao Yunhe's expressions on the side moved, and they both wanted to do it immediately, and then they were stunned at the same time.

Pulling Zhao hurriedly took a half step back.

Zhao Yun said with a smile: "Take the captain to go." ”

"No, the Admiral is just ...... I was shocked by the character of the prince. ”

Xu Zhen glanced at the move, "Don't go, you are a general in Youzhou, and you are all familiar faces, so it's not easy to start." ”

"So as not to attract resentment, let Dian Wei go."

Dian Wei: "?? I'm not afraid of holding grudges? ”

Xu Zhen was speechless: "Where is your duty!" ”

"I, my duty."

Dian Wei nodded and immediately left.

Not long after Dian Wei went out, he met Zhuge Liang in the courtyard.

After some conversation, Dian Wei smiled and said about the gift of the Cheng family in Youzhou, Zhuge Liang immediately shook his head with a wry smile, "These people still don't know the temperament of the prince and the marquis, and they have worked hard Uncle Dian." ”

"It's okay, I'm used to it."

Dian Wei scratched his head and continued on his way.

Zhuge Liang stood in place for a moment, then turned around and continued to enter the main hall, entering it and bowing slightly, "Master." ”

"Huh?"

"The people came to Wanmin Shu, and officials and sergeants from all over the country also wrote a form, and wrote a letter of willingness, asking the prime minister to let him be the pastor of Youzhou."

Xu Zhen's expression was stunned, this is absolutely impossible.

Youzhou, Jizhou.

Then I won't be Yuan Shao?

How could the lord let me lead Youzhou again, if I was transferred from Jizhou to Youzhou, I would lose my pants.

"The lord didn't agree, did he?"

Xu Zhen suddenly asked curiously.

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "I didn't agree, Master, please rest assured, but you should really prepare and withdraw the defense early, so as not to worry about the people." ”

"Now it is rumored that you are a person from heaven, helping Cao Fuhan, with the mandate of heaven, and the people are convinced of this because of the successive victories and the enrichment of the people in internal affairs......"

"That straw bale came out of the word!" Xu Zhen suddenly got up, almost didn't scold his mother, how could these people who had just experienced the war not believe such a teaching.

He has to believe even if he doesn't believe it, and when his heart is devastated, he will naturally believe in some things about gods and ghosts to express his faith, which is common sense.

"The ...... of Succession"

Xu Zhen: "......"

There was a deathly silence in the main hall, and everyone was slowly inhaling cool air.

When you're ready to exhale, let your breath warm up a little so that it's not so cold.

Xu Zhen was stunned and then stammered: "Tsk, there is some truth in this statement. ”

"But not much."

"Uh...... It's better to disarm as soon as possible. ”

Zhuge Liang arched his hand again: "Now, Cheng Yu said that he would follow the example of Ximu Lixin when he changed the law back then, so as to calm the hearts of the people." ”

"Let them do it," Xu Zhen waved his hand, and then suddenly raised his eyebrows, "Huh? Is it to move wood to where to give a thousand gold? ”

It's earned by skill! It's not the same as receiving gifts, it's a chance to get rich!

Zhuge Liang suddenly smiled, "That's not the case, Mr. Zhongde asked people to let people go, implement the Cao family's internal precepts for the people to know, and at the same time promote the style of diligence and thrift, and use one hundred and five baht coins to buy money and grain to survive for a month, and if you can do it, you can get 100 gold." ”

"This can not only let the people know how to save money, but also let the people of Youzhou know that the prime minister has been thrifty all his life, and the Cao family is diligent and thrifty, so as to enhance the cohesion of the people and win the trust of the people."

"It's boring," Xu Zhen suddenly became depressed, a pure waste of money, "It's better to quickly order to return to Jizhou, the governance of Youzhou will be handed over to others, I don't want to fight in the ice and snow anymore." ”

"Although cotton armor is warmer than cloth, it cannot rely on this thing to fight in winter for a long time."

Although he was sighing when he said this, he already felt that it was outrageous, marching at night in the ice and snow.

And it was still raining and snowing that day, and it quietly crossed more than 80 miles of mountains, and suddenly launched a surprise attack.

After completing the impossible long-distance run, there are later achievements.

When he arrived in the camp, he knew the preciousness of the cotton armor, a rare thing in the world, Xu Zhen actually had 8,000 people wearing cotton armor, and he could only say that he deserved to win the battle.

In the afternoon, after Xu Zhen finished the military order, he went to Yuyang City for a trip before leaving.

At this moment, in the luxurious pavilion of Yuan Xi's garrison, Cao Cao sat in the main hall of the main army, waiting for Cao Ren to collect the news of Youbeiping County, and at the same time waiting for Wenchen to calm the people's hearts.

He was happy in his heart, this Cheng Yu is worthy of following his side all these years, he knows his heart well, he knows how to please himself too well.

When stabilizing the people, he taught them how to spontaneously save money and build trust in the people, and at the same time preached Cao's frugality over the years, which is equivalent to increasing their reputation.

While waiting with his eyes closed, Cao Cao looked leisurely, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and waited happily.

Not long after, someone hurried from outside, and immediately prostrate on the ground when he entered the main hall, "Prime Minister, there is a mess!" ”

"Huh!?"

Cao Cao opened his eyes, his face suddenly serious, "When?" ”

He recognized that this person was an official responsible for stabilizing the hearts of the people in Yuyang and doing things that were trustworthy, and if there was any trouble, it would be Cheng Yu's method that had a problem.

However, what can be the problem with such a trivial matter, isn't it just to go for a walk and make the people admire, and transfer the reverence for Xu Zhen to the Cao family?

"Today, when he was preaching, the prince suddenly appeared with his face covered, saying that he accepted this challenge! Then he took a hundred five-baht coins and left. ”

Cao Cao subconsciously looked at Guo Jia, the two looked at each other a little dazed, and then asked, "Then what?" What is this, Bowen can also demonstrate it when he receives it, and he has a lot of wonderful ideas, and there must be a way to convince the people. ”

The little official's face was bitter, and his face was aggrieved, "Then the prince said that he failed the challenge, and bought a few pieces of cloth with a hundred and five baht and left." ”

"What else do you say, if you don't take it for nothing, you will take one hundred and five baht for nothing."

"So the people were stunned, and they followed suit, and they all received a hundred and five baht coins and left, and they all said that they had failed, and we don't know whether to send them or not."

"Prime Minister, otherwise each person will directly receive 15 baht money, these money can be traded in Jizhou, can buy a lot of grain, and the two states of Youzhou and Hebei are passed, and the main road is repaired to gallop horses and vehicles, so that it is convenient to walk, and the people are easy to feel at ease......"

"Xu! Uncle! Wen! ”

Cao Cao's face suddenly twitched after hearing this, and his scalp was numb!

I just asked for 10,000 households for you! Are you short of this one hundred and five baht!

This kind of person, he is crazy!

Guo Jia's face was tangled and numb on the side, and there were so many folds that he almost covered his eyes.

Xu Bowen: He is a real dog.
