Chapter 222 Gongsun Zan's troubles
Chapter 222 Gongsun Zan's troubles
"My lord, I caught this man in the tent and claimed to be a servant of Cao Pi's mansion."

As soon as the soldiers in front retreated, someone walked in with a limp person in their arms and explained to Yue Fei.

Hearing the boy's explanation, Yue Fei probably guessed the direction of Cao Pi's escape.

"Alright, let's wait for General Zhao Yun to capture Cao Pi back."

At this time, Cao Pi in the distance was sitting on the carriage, constantly urging the driver to speed up the carriage.

But Cao Pi only had one carriage, how could he run past Zhao Yun's cavalry, not to mention he brought his family and refused to give up.

When Zhao Yun rushed to the Sheriff's Mansion earlier, Cao Pi was leaving through the back door.

Zhao Yun randomly grabbed a servant and questioned him, only to find out that Cao Pi had fled to the south gate.

Zhao Yun was furious and left Ye Yong to occupy the county guard's mansion. He led his cavalry to pursue the south gate, and happened to run into Cao Pi who was preparing to escape at the south gate.

"Little thief Cao Pi, where are you running!"

Zhao Yun rode fast, threw the soldiers behind him far away, ran to Cao Pi's carriage single-handedly, and shouted loudly at him.

Cao Pi yelled angrily, but didn't dare to stop, let the guards around him stay in the way, and drove the carriage by himself.

Looking at the few people rushing across, Zhao Yun had no expression on his face, and the silver gun in his hand was flying up and down, and he brought these dozen people down.

After finishing off Cao Pi's guards, Zhao Yun suddenly patted Ye Zhaoshi on the back.

Seeing the Yezhao lion soaring into the air and rushing towards Cao Pi, blocking Cao Pi's carriage, Zhao Yun saw the opportunity and pulled Cao Pi over.

After Zhao Yun captured Cao Pi, he took control of the soldiers on the city gate without much effort.

"Don't kill me, I surrender, I surrender!"

Taking Cao Pi to Cheng's mansion, Cao Pi threw himself on Ye Xiao and cried loudly as soon as he saw Ye Xiao.

Seeing Cao Pi like this, Ye Xiao waved to the soldiers impatiently, motioning for them to pull him down.

As for Cao Pi's fate, nine out of ten are decapitated.

Ye Xiao looked at Zhao Yun, he said with a smile.

"Catching Cao Pi, Zilong has made a great contribution, Zilong, what reward do you want?"

Zhao Yun stood up straight with a serious face, looked at Ye Xiao and said.

"This is what I should do, how dare I ask for a reward?"

"Ha ha!!"

Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Ye Xiao couldn't help but chuckle, and when he laughed, he took the opportunity to glance at Cheng Lu out of the corner of his eye.

Seeing that Cheng Lu's eyes were not moving, Ye Xiao secretly sighed that Cheng Lu's palace was really deep.

Ye Xiao walked up to Zhao Yun and patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder and said to Zhao Yun.

"There must be a reward for meritorious service. This Zhan Zilong will make the first contribution, and he will be promoted to the third rank, and he will be rewarded with a hundred gold."

What Ye Xiao said to Zhao Yun was obviously for Cheng Lu, to let him understand that as long as you are obedient and eat and drink, it will be hard to talk about it if you are not obedient.

After arriving in the city and settling down, Ye Xiao sent someone to Xiahou's house to invite Xiahou Xingde, and everyone chatted in the house.

During the conversation, Ye Xiao would ask some news about Yanzhou, Cheng Lu and Xiahou Xingde didn't dare to hide it and said nothing.

In the early morning of the next day, Shanyang County had completely changed hands, and Ye Xiao's army outside the city also entered the city one after another.

Talking all night, Ye Xiao's beatings on these aristocratic families were almost the same, and they chatted for a while in the morning.

Ye Xiao asked Liu Bowen to temporarily manage Shanyang, assist Cheng Lu and Xiahou Xingde, and let them go.

The two of them led Fan Kui slowly into the Sheriff's Mansion.

The Cao family has long been taken into custody by Ye Yong, and the house has been cleaned up everywhere.

Looking at the Sheriff's Mansion which was back on track again, Ye Xiao was filled with emotion.

"You know, Fan Kui, this troubled world has come, human life is cheap, I work so hard, in fact, it is only to better protect the people I want to protect."

"Just like this Cao Pi, lacking in strength, I just said one word, and it decided the lives of more than 100 people in the Cao family."

"I don't want anyone to be able to put a knife on my lover's neck one day."

Ye Xiao's voice was a little low, and he stretched out his hand to grab a branch, and his figure suddenly looked a little haggard.

"With me here, whoever wants to attack the lord must step on my body first."

"Cao Pi's child doesn't know the current situation, he doesn't know how to advance or retreat, and he reaps the consequences. The master doesn't have to worry about him. The master is a man for the country and the people."

"Whoever stops the lord is blocking the blessings of the people in the world, and will definitely be punished by heaven!"

Fan Yu said impassionedly to Ye Xiao.

"You, when did you learn this, how can I be as good as you said, ha ha!"

Ye Xiao couldn't help but smile when he spoke.

In fact, the biggest headache for Ye Xiao now is the aristocratic family of Shanyang. He can't kill these families who have surrendered. If they are killed, no one will dare to surrender to Ye Xiao.

Although it was said that those aristocratic families were beaten last night, the aristocratic families did not dare to make trouble for a while.

But who can guarantee that these aristocratic families will not cause trouble after Ye Xiao leaves?
The current situation is that these aristocratic families Ye Xiao wants to kill, but he can't. If they stay, they may become a disaster, and they don't know what to do for a while.

I wanted to tell Fan Kuai, but I was afraid that he would not understand, so I had to save it and discuss it with Liu Bowen.

In the next few days, in order to defend Yuan Shao, Ye Xiao began to arrange the defense of Yanzhou, and then arranged the various ministries.

Moreover, Xiahou Xingde also offered to hand over all the family's private soldiers to Ye Xiao, and take his daughter to Juye to recuperate, Ye Xiao readily agreed.

After occupying Shanyang, Ye Xiao stopped attacking the city.

Ye Xiao and Liu Bowen discussed using Shanyang County as a springboard to slowly erode Cao Cao.

Ye Xiao left behind 5 infantry and [-] cavalry, and took the remaining [-] with him to Dongping Kingdom.

Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan confront each other in Youzhou.

Gongsun Zan couldn't defend, and Yuan Shao couldn't attack by force. For a short period of time, both sides were helpless.

Just so procrastinating, it was the beginning of July in a blink of an eye.

The hot summer made Yuan Shao's soldiers miserable. Although they had Jizhou as their backing, they had no worries about food and drink, but mosquito bites were indispensable, and many soldiers were infected with diseases due to mosquito bites.

Compared with Yuan Shao, although Gongsun Zan's army is in the city, it has no advantage.

Although the soldiers lived comfortably, the food in the city had already been exhausted.

Youzhou, which was originally impoverished, is now under Yuan Shao's siege.

In addition, Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu before, which made him infamous for massacring good officials.

For a while, even the people of Youzhou would rather give grain to Yuan Shao than lend him grain.

Under such circumstances, some of Gongsun Zan's camps had run out of food.

The armies of both sides are exhausted, and the soldiers of both sides are competing for endurance. Whoever fails first will become the loser of this war.

The head of Youzhou City, which was originally a newly reinforced arrow stack and city tower, has already been stained with blood.

After the blood dries, it turns dark red, and the place where the blood is thick is black and purple.

Countless debris littered the walls.
