Three Kingdoms: Summon the Heroic Soul Yue Fei at the beginning

Chapter 148 Siege of Wan City
Chapter 148 Siege of Wan City
After destroying the letter, Ye Xiao came to Han Xin and said, looking at Han Xin.

"How many troops are needed to besiege here now?"

Han Xin looked at Ye Xiao, thought about what Ye Xiao said just now, and immediately guessed that Ye Xiao wanted to take people to attack Zhang Xiu.

"My lord, there are only 3000 people in Lu Bu's Xiapi city now, and 1 people here are enough to besiege him."

Ye Xiao nodded when he heard Han Xin say this, and then said to the soldiers beside him.

"It is said that Yue Fei came to see me."

After a quarter of an hour, Yue Fei came in front of Ye Xiao wearing armor.

"My lord, what do you want from me?"

Yue Fei cupped his hands at Ye Xiao, then said with a smile.

"Pengju, now Guo Ziyi is besieged in Yiyang and needs support. I hope you will take 1 people to inspect Xuzhou."

Yue Fei was dumbfounded by Ye Xiao's words. It stands to reason that Yi Yang was besieged and should go to rescue Yi Yang. How could he be allowed to patrol Xuzhou with 1 people.

Seeing Yue Fei and Ye Xiao with a confused face pulling him to the map in the tent, he pointed to Xuzhou and said.

"After Tao Qian's death, Xuzhou should have been inherited by Liu Bei, but he was deceived by Lu Bu. It is precisely because of this that Lu Bu was not very welcome from the county guards down to the aristocratic people in Xuzhou. The reason why Xuzhou can be conquered."

Yue Fei looked at Ye Xiao's fingers and nodded, fell into deep thought, saw that Ye Xiao didn't bother him while Yue Fei was meditating, after a while Yue Fei slowly raised his head to look at Ye Xiao and said.

"My lord, are you worried about the emergence of a family like Lu Wenlou?"

"Exactly, that's why I asked you to take 1 people to patrol Xuzhou, and kill anyone who is collaborating with the enemy or plotting wrongdoing."

Ye Xiao looked at the map of Xuzhou, staring at the cities he occupied, full of violence, he knew that these aristocratic families were only temporarily shackled by him.

The reason why Ye Xiao didn't do anything was because after this year he understood a truth, that is, the aristocratic family cannot be solved by killing. Excessive killing will not only fail to solve the aristocratic family, but will cause the aristocratic family to rebound.

After many days of discussion between Ye Xiao and Liu Bowen, it was decided that killing the aristocratic family should still be done, but the killing should be justified, which is why Ye Xiao needed Yue Fei to inspect Xuzhou.

"Then, my lord, is Ziyi not saved?"

Yue Fei looked at Yiyang County on the map and said.

"I will personally lead an army of [-] to rescue Yi Yang."

After speaking, Ye Xiao turned around and left the tent.

At this time, Guo Ziyi learned through Ye Xiao's letter that Ye Xiao was going to personally lead troops to deal with Zhang Xiu, so Guo Ziyi ordered his men to feign defeat.

Seeing that Guo Ziyi was feigning defeat, Zhang Xiu rushed forward and chased after him. Guo Ziyi pretended to be invincible and retreated one after another.

Zhang Xiu used to occupy many counties in Yiyang, but the most important Yiyang County has never been occupied. Zhang Xiu had no choice but to let the crowd surround Yiyang, and sent soldiers to yell and curse outside Yiyang County every day.

That day, Zhang Xiu came to Yiyang County to yell and curse as usual, when suddenly it began to rain heavily.

Zhang Xiu had no choice but to let the sergeant come back, but when he returned to the camp, a scout stumbled in and said to Zhang Xiu in a panic.

"My lord, Guo Ziyi's reinforcements are here!"

Zhang Xiu was drinking to warm up at this time, and the wine bowl in his hand almost dropped because of the scout's news.

"Who is the leader!"

When the scout heard what Zhang Xiu said, he hurriedly shook his head and said.

"I don't know, but there is a leaf written on those flags."

"Ye Xiao? He came in person?"

Zhang Xiu put the wine bowl on the table and looked at the soldiers and muttered for a while.

"Go and get someone to tell Zhang Wang to come over."

Zhang Wang, Zhang Xiu's counselor, has a position similar to that of Liu Bowen in Ye Xiao's, but his strategy is far worse than Liu Bowen's.

As Zhang Wang entered the tent, Zhang Xiu asked his maid to pour him a glass of wine and then let Zhang Wang sit down.

"Zhang Wang, you said that Ye Xiao is coming now, what should we do?"

Zhang Wang took a sip of wine after hearing this, and then said quite complacently.

"My lord, from my point of view, Ye Xiao's arrival just shows that Guo Ziyi is no longer able to survive. As long as our siege engine is completed tomorrow, it will be easy to take down Yiyang County."

Hearing what Zhang Wang said, Zhang Xiu was overjoyed, and immediately made everyone prepare to attack the city, but what he didn't know was that Ye Xiao had already divided the 1 people into two teams, each with 5000 people.

And he himself led the 5000 people from Zhang Xiu's hometown Wancheng.

The news of Ye Xiao's march into Wancheng was learned by scouts sent by Zhang Xiu's brother Zhang Yuan.

The first thing Zhang Yuan did after he knew about it was to call all the aristocratic families, noble families, and officials big and small in Wancheng to discuss how to deal with Ye Xiao.

After many aristocratic families, powerful families and officials arrived, Zhang Yuan went straight to the point and said.

"Now my elder brother sent people to attack Yiyang, and he won many battles. The Ye thief couldn't sit still, so he wanted to come to surround Wei and save Zhao. Today, I called everyone here to hope that you can defend Wancheng with me."

When Zhang Yuan finished speaking, a patriarch of an aristocratic family stood up and said.

"This Ye Xiao owns Yuzhou, and now Xuzhou. Can this small Wancheng stop Ye Xiao's onslaught?"

As if Zhang Yuan knew that someone would say that, he took out a letter from his mouth and said.

"This is a letter from Yuan Shao to my elder brother. It said that as long as we can take Yiyang, then Yuan Shao will bring Cao Cao to the south to destroy Ye Xiao."

"Even if Cao Cao and Yuan Shao come down and kill Ye Xiao, what does it matter to us, we won't get any benefit!"

Zhang Yuan looked at the yelling patriarch of the aristocratic family and got up and said.

"Patriarch of the Song family, do you know what will happen to you aristocratic families after you let Ye Xiao break the city?"

Zhang Yuan's words reminded the patriarchs present of the scene where the Yuzhou family was killed and then their heads were hung on the city wall. All the patriarchs present couldn't help but shudder.

Seeing that everyone present was silent, Zhang Yuan got up and said to everyone.

"Since everyone knows what will happen, please cooperate with me and defend this Wancheng."

"I don't know, how can we cooperate?" A patriarch of an aristocratic family got up and asked.

"I suggest that each family gather all the servants of their own family and the recruited countrymen, and set up camp outside the city and form a corner inside the city."

What Zhang Yuan said makes sense, and the Patriarchs have no objections, after all, this is how the defense of the city is fought.

What's more, there are at least tens of thousands of family members and Xiang Yong in these aristocratic families, more than the defenders in the city. In their opinion, even if Ye Xiao comes, they can withstand it.

But they forgot that their servants and Xiangyong are a group of mobs who have not experienced the baptism of war. It is okay to bully the people, but it is nothing to talk about if they fight.
