Chapter 634 Zhan Jizhou

Successfully occupied Jizhou, and the loss of the Xiliang Army was not large, but the food and materials transported were consumed a lot. Compared with such an easy capture of Jizhou, this loss is nothing. The speed of Jizhou's defeat was so fast that Yuan Shao did not have time to consume more, and what he got was far greater than the damage. Lost.

After the pacification of Jizhou, Jia Rong did not take further measures to put Jizhou in his hands, that is, more chances of winning. With the geographical location and background of Jizhou, it developed very rapidly. What's more, there are many merchants in Jizhou, and there are many scholars who are willing to turn to Jia Rong, especially driven by Xu You. The Zhen family and other big families in Xindu City began to move closer to the Xiliang Army. At this time, they had no choice. Yuan Shao had died and the trees were scattered. Even if they remembered his family, they could only put that memory in the deepest part of their hearts. In order to continue to live, they cooperated with the Xiliang Army.

The Zhen family started with business. Naturally, it did not attach so much importance to the set of other families. Moreover, the Zhen family had many contacts with Chang'an and benefited a lot. After the Xiliang army occupied Jizhou, it did not compete with the poor soldiers and exploiting families and merchants as rumored by Yuan Shao. The Zhen family also accepted all this in their hearts. He recognized the dominance of the Xiliang Army.

However, the status of the Xiliang Army in the whole world is becoming more and more important. As a big family in Jizhou, the Zhen family plays a vital role in the better rule of Jizhou by the Xiliang Army. It is far from Xu You. When Yuan Shao was there, Xu You relied on flattery and constantly gained Yuan Shao's trust, while the Zhen family relied on itself. Work hard and enter the ranks of giants in Jizhou. There are great differences between the two. The Zhen family has been in business for many years, and the intelligence network is sound. Naturally, they have a lot of contacts with other businessmen in Jizhou. Even in other states and counties in the Central Plains, they also have family careers, which is not small.

The news that the Xiliang army occupied Jizhou spread all over the world in January. For some of the big means that often appear in the Xiliang army, people in the world seem to be used to it and are not too surprised. Since the Xiliang Army's expedition, there have been few defeats. This is obvious to all. Even if it is the elite Cao army, no It was also the loss of such an important place as Luyang. What shocked the people in the world was that the water army of the Xiliang Army, the main team that attacked Jizhou this time, was like them, raiding from the sea, making Yuan Shao unpreventable, and the letter was lost. 80,000 troops lost food and fodder, and suffered a big loss. The Xiliang Water Army began to enter the vision of the people of the world, regardless of this How about the combat effectiveness of the navy? His brilliant record cannot be erased.

Outside Jiangling City, Cao Cao was in a bad mood when he learned the news. He sent 100,000 troops. He had been fighting for several months. He only got a county in Nanyang. Jiangling was a hard bone. He couldn't nibble it. Liu Bei and Liu Pan guarded the city with a strong heart. In addition, there was enough food and grass in the city, even if it was again. The three-month siege can also support it. Zhuge Liang, as Liu Bei's chief advisor, played a vital role in this battle. Although Zhuge Liang seemed to be farming when he was in Longzhong before, in fact, he knew all the great news in the world, and the Xiliang army's siege and defense of the city was the top priority. Those endless means emerged. After Zhuge Liang's consideration, the power became more huge. Cao Cao suffered a lot of losses for this. The successive siege had no effect at all. The Jingzhou army attached great importance to the defense of the city gate and the public security in the city, and the dark men in the city could not play a role.

"Lord, now the Xiliang army has occupied Jizhou, and the front is strong, and Zhao Yunhu in Luyang is coveting. If the Xiliang army takes advantage of this to wave the Central Plains..." Xun Yu said in a low tone.

Not only him, but also as long as people with a little brain can think of this. Cao Cao didn't know. He just launched 100,000 troops and consumed countless grain and materials. He just captured Nanyang County. Cao Cao was really unwilling. After capturing Jiangling, Cao Cao had enough confidence to calm down the whole Jingzhou within three months. If you get Jingzhou, you will have a better chance of winning when facing the Xiliang Army.

Jiangling is the last layer of fig leaf in Xiangyang. It has lost such a heavy place as Jiangling. It is difficult for Liu Biao to pay for the daily use of the army, not to mention the army in Jingzhou.

Liu Biao was not completely confused by the two charming words Sheng Shang. Under the persuasion of the counselors, after understanding the importance of Jiangling, he sent reinforcements one after another, but his own cavalry was not as good as others. He was repeatedly broken through by the Cao army and suffered heavy losses. In one after another, grain and materials were spent a lot to support Jiang. Ling became an empty word. Liu Biao could not bear such a loss. He did not move and only waited for Cao Jun's grain to retreat. The grain and fodder in Jiangling City were carefully calculated by the counselors, which was enough to support another month.

"No, attack Jingzhou, kill the battlefield, and consume countless materials. How can you give up halfway? If you don't pace Jingzhou, you won't give up." Cao Cao said firmly that the more at this time, the more firm the general will be and can't shake the army's heart.

"Lord, the general's city is tall and the defenders are cunning. If you attack head-on, you can't attack it without March." The drama just made a little analysis.

Cao Cao nodded and said, "That's right. The Yu family in the city has sent people to the army."

Xi Zhicai and other counselors were overjoyed to hear the words. As long as there is a response in the city, after the gate is opened, it is not difficult to occupy Jiangling in one fell swoop with the elite of Cao Jun.

"Lord, in this case, Jiangling can go down." It's hard to hide the joy in the tone of the drama.

"Well, it's up to you to do this matter. Don't let the defenders in the city find out." Cao Cao told him.

The Yu family in Jiangling City is also the old family of Jingzhou. However, after Liu Biao ruled Jingzhou, the Cai family and the Kwa family were raised. Other families were more or less suppressed, and the Yu family was the first to bear the brunt. At the beginning, they were not very convinced of Liu Biao. After becoming Jingzhou herdsman, Liu Biao was the first to suppress Jiangling Yu. The family is waiting for an old family in Jingzhou.

Relying on the background of the Yu family, they reluctantly persisted. However, after a few years, Jiadao was not as vigorous as before. After he came in and obtained commodity transactions with Chang'an through special channels, the Yu family gradually stood up in Jingzhou, but he hated Liu Biao in his heart. Cao's army was 100,000 attacks. Attacking Jingzhou is very powerful. The owner of the Yu family is also an old fox. If he had defected to Cao Cao before, he would definitely not have paid attention to it. When Cao Cao was frustrated, he would get more benefits.

It turns out that the vision of the owner of the Yu family is correct, and Xizhi has given the Yu family a lot of benefits, provided that he can unknowingly open the gate and let Cao Jun enter the city.

After the owner of the Yu family got the exact news, he began to act secretly. As a family with great background, the Yu family's influence in the city was great. In the past, under the pressure of Liu Biao, he did not dare to make any changes, but now he got Cao Cao's promise, full of fighting spirit. The owners of the old family I knew in the past gathered together and secretly discussed countermeasures.

The people who can be invited by the Lord of the Yu family are all trustworthy people who have lived for most of their lives. The Lord Yu thinks that his ability to look at people is still good.

"Everyone, Cao Gong's reputation is known all over the world, and after Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao became emperor, he did not want to make progress, built palaces, and was extravagant. Jingzhou is getting worse and worse. Presumably everyone in the field must know that I have decided to surrender to Cao Jun outside the city. If I have the same ambition, I can stay. If I don't want to, I will never force myself. You can leave now." In the upper position, the owner of the Yu family glanced at the people in the room and said slowly. At this moment, it seemed that he had returned to the time when the Yu family had a pivotal position in Jingzhou. In a word, the whole Jiangling City trembled.

"Master Yu, I have known you for decades. Don't worry about what you choose." The owner of the Zhao family hurriedly expressed his determination. Judging from the intention of the owner of the Yu family, if you don't agree to what happened today and go out easily, I'm afraid it's not that simple.

Master Zhao took the lead in expressing his position, which made the people in the house stop the discussion.

The owner of the Yu family nodded with a smile and said, "I think highly of the owner of the Zhao family. After Cao Jun entered the city, Xu gave a lot of benefits. The Yu family will never eat alone. At that time, we will enjoy it together."

"Okay, let's follow the main business of the Yu family. Liu Bei and Liu Pan have been unpleasant to them for a long time." The speaker is the owner of the Li family. He is only in his thirties and has a bold personality. He has suffered a lot of losses in the exchanges between the owners in the house. He is also a shrewd person. After the owner of the Yu said those words, he also realized that something was wrong.

When the Jingzhou army is defending the city, it is inevitable to have a conflict with the families in the city, and Liu Pan's strategy is the main source of the conflict. Cao's army is powerful, and everyone knows that Liu Pan wants to mobilize the private soldiers of the medieval family to defend the city. In this way, not only the problem of military strength can be solved, but also the questions of these soldiers' food and grass. The question is also solved. The background of the family is not as simple as it seems. It is easy to pay some soldiers for the amount of food and fodder, and Liu Pan also believes that he has not touched the bottom line of the family, and Yi Ji and Liu Bei have no objection to this.

To a certain extent, such a decision naturally conflicts with the interests of the family. Some people do not allow their own interests to be damaged at all, especially the family suppressed by Liu Biao in Jiangling City.

"Okay, I also followed the Lord Yu, but after Cao Jun entered the city, don't forget everyone."

Looking at the emotions of everyone in the room being completely mobilized, a smile appeared on the face of the owner of the Yu family. This force was mobilized by himself. With this, Cao Cao's reward will be higher, and it is more likely to dedicate Jiangling. For the sake of the family's career, it is worth taking risks. It's better to make a timely decision than to be exploited by Liu Biao.
