Three Kingdoms: copy Lu Bu's force at the beginning

Gongsun Zan's style is extremely strict, and those who make mistakes are punished with the most severe punishment.

Some people commented that Gongsun Zan's management methods had legalist ideas, which also made sense.

As for Gongsun Zan's subordinates, especially the old subordinates who had followed Gongsun Zan for a long time, none of them were not afraid of Gongsun Zan.

This lieutenant general had followed Gongsun Zan for ten years, so of course he understood Gongsun Zan's temper.

If the person under the city was really Gongsun Yue, if something happened to him, Gongsun Zan might wipe out all his nine clans.

The deputy general thought about what the military lord said just now, and felt that the more Gongsun tried his best to break out of the ambush, the more likely this Gongsun under the city should be real.

Zhang Yun fell to the ground, secretly admiring him, he never thought that a small lieutenant general would be so cautious, the land of Youzhou is really full of talents.

This plan of cheating the city was thought of by Zhang Xi after he defeated Gongsun Yue and killed him.

Due to the rush of time, it was impossible to recruit Gongsun Yue's cronies, so there was a big loophole in this strategy.

If you encounter someone who is not cautious, see your own defeated soldiers, and see that the enemy is about to chase them, you must open the city gate without hesitation and welcome the defeated soldiers in.

But if he encounters such a cautious person and cannot be fooled, Zhang Xi's strategy of defrauding the city will fail.

Of course, it is impossible for the Youzhou army in the city to fight out, so naturally Zhang He will not suffer any loss, but it is just a loss of face.

Fortunately, Zhang Yun pretended to be seriously injured, and acted in a hurry, pretending to be in a coma, which was a fool.

If it weren't for Gongsun Yue, but for other generals, it is estimated that Zhang Yun's plan to defraud the city would also fail.

Anyway, the gate of Juyang City was opened.

The opportunity must not be missed, the time will never come again, Zhang Yun did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered two hundred soldiers to swarm into the city.

The lieutenant general at the top of the city saw it clearly, and immediately regretted it in his heart, but it was already too late.

"Quick...quickly release the arrow." After all, the lieutenant general was still battle-tested, so he immediately asked the archer to release the arrow.

A burst of random shooting caused considerable damage to Zhang He's 200 troops, but Zhang He also successfully rushed into Juyang City.

Gongsun Yue is dead, and there are no generals in Juyang City. How can anyone stand against Zhang He, who is a master of martial arts?

After Zhang He rushed left and right, Juyang City's defense quickly collapsed, and the troops led by Deputy General Zhang He also arrived.

After a fight, the deputy general of Juyang City was killed, more than 300 defenders were killed, and the remaining 700 people all surrendered.

After taking over the defense of Juyang City, Zhang He ordered his lieutenant general to disrupt the surrender and intervene in various parts, and on the other hand, he sent people to post up the Anmin Notice.

At the same time, Zhang He learned about Gongsun Zan's ruling policy in Youzhou.

Before Zhang He had time to ask Yuan Shao for instructions, he immediately made a decision, canceling many bad policies and reducing the pressure on the common people.

In this way, the people of Juyang City did not have the slightest hostility towards Zhang Yun's army, but welcomed it very much, wishing that Juyang City would not return to Gongsun Zan's hands.

As a result, Zhang Yun easily gained the hearts of the people in Juyang City.

The lieutenant general's admiration for Zhang Yun was also from the bottom of his heart, and he naturally carried out Zhang Yun's orders to the letter.

Gongsun Yue's remnants were washed away by the Sangshui, and hundreds of them survived by chance. They returned to Juyang City one after another, and all of them were collected by Zhang He.

So, Zhang Xi's one thousand soldiers and horses, plus the one thousand soldiers and horses surrendered in Juyang City, made up a total of 2000 people.

Zhang Yun ordered to recruit recruits in Juyang City. The applicants were very enthusiastic, and finally 2000 people were recruited.

In this way, Juyang City alone has [-] soldiers and horses, which is about the same as when Gongsun Yue was there.

Han Meng from Zhuolu County was also taken aback when he received the news from Zhang Yun.

A thousand soldiers and horses actually took down Juyang City, which was stationed by 4000 troops.

You know, Juyang City is the seat of Shanggu County. The city is tall and easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Han Meng immediately asked the scout who sent the letter about the battle situation, and couldn't help being extremely shocked.

"Flooding the three armies, pretending to deceive the city, it is really wonderful, wonderful."

Han Meng's qualifications are much older than Zhang Yun's.

This time, Yuan Shao obeyed Feng Ji's words and made Zhang Xi the chief general and Han Meng the deputy general. Han Meng was very unhappy in his heart.

Although Yuan Shao's great cause was the main thing, Han Meng didn't show his old status in front of Zhang Yun, but he was still very dissatisfied with Zhang Yun in his heart.

But with Zhang Yun's two victories, Han Meng didn't think so.

Seriously speaking, Han Meng is confident that if he leads troops, he will never come up with such a strategy.

Han Meng sighed slightly: "No wonder, whether it is Mr. Tian Feng, Mr. Jushou, or Mr. Feng Ji, they all recommend Zhang Yun. This man is indeed both civil and military. This is the blessing of the lord, the blessing of Jizhou."

In fact, Yuan Shao asked Han Meng to be Zhang Yun's deputy, because he also had concerns about Zhang Yun's ability.

Han Meng has Yuan Shao's secret order in his body, once Zhang Xi's ability is insufficient, Han Meng can replace him at any time.

Now, of course, Han Meng has no intention of replacing Zhang Xi at all.

Instead, Han Meng immediately wrote a letter, in which Zhang Xi's credit was fully written, and he dispatched detailed work to send the letter to Yuan Shao.

Then, Han Meng also carried out reforms in Zhuolu County according to Zhang He's method, and got rid of some of Gongsun Zan's bad governance.

Sure enough, the hearts of the people in Zhuolu County soon joined.

Then, Han Meng also recruited soldiers in Zhuolu County, and even recruited 500 soldiers.

As a result, there are more than 2000 defenders in Zhuolu County.

At the same time, in the name of Yuan Shao, Zhang Yun sent people to other counties in Shanggu County with letters to solicit.

Most of the counties chose to change their banners and belong to Yuan Shao.

There are also one or two county towns that are loyal to Gongsun Zan and choose to die rather than surrender.

Zhang He was not in a hurry to lead the army to crusade, but first secretly dispatched agents to enter these two counties and spread the news that the rest of Shanggu County had canceled Gongsun Zan's bad governance.

Zhang He learned this trick from Hua Yu.

Attacking a city does not necessarily require a large army to overwhelm the territory, such as ladders, catapults, etc., to attack the city abruptly.

The best way is to attack the heart first.

Once the hearts of the people in the city are surrendered, civil strife will inevitably break out in the city when the army is overwhelming.

Things that should be combined inside and outside may be able to happen.

So, five or six days after spreading the news, Zhang He personally led the army to subdue these two cities.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhang He's army arrived, the people in the city rioted when they heard the news.

Under the combination of inside and outside, Zhang Xi easily captured the city.

The two cities were like this, and the guards couldn't stop the anger of the people in the city.

Since then, the entire Shanggu County has fallen into the hands of Zhang Yun.

Zhang He mobilized his troops and hoarded food and grass, preparing for the counterattack of Gongsun Zan's army.
