"Lord, there has been no obvious movement in the city these days. The Yellow Turban Thief has come out several times and wants to test the facts of our army, but it has been defeated by our army." Two days later, Ye Zhao rushed back in turmoil and did not go to rest. He directly recruited the generals. Fang Yue reported to Ye Zhao about the military affairs of Ye Zhao's departure for the past four days.

"These Yellow Turban Army have not been trained and have loose military disciplines. Now they are fighting on their own. They will not really attack in large quantities before they have to." Qiu Chi, who was standing beside him, said with a smile.

"How is the recruitment of troops going?" Ye Zhao looked through the military affairs and asked Ding Lidao beside him.

Since Ding Li and Qiu Chi have come here, it means that the recruitment of troops has come to an end.

"In the past few days, several powerful men have led their troops to join the army. According to the lord's instructions, they have selected their strong men and organized them into the army. The troops of the five colleges have been fully organized. If the new soldiers are included, our army can now reach 12,000 troops. In addition, there are many powerful men who have come to join, but they are not afraid to make decisions without authorization." Ding Li bowed.

"Oh? Why is this?" Ye Zhao looked at Ding Li unexpectedly. According to the previous arrangement, he would first organize 10,000 troops. If there was still a remaining one, he could recruit more. With his current rights, the wartime official army and auxiliary soldiers could recruit 20,000 troops.

"Ruyang Yuan family sent general Yu She to lead 3,000 tribes to surrender." Qiu Chi smiled bitterly and said, "If you let him join the army, it will be difficult to command!"

After following Ye Zhao for a long time, Qiu Chi knew very well that Ye Zhao had high requirements for the army. The most important point was that the army must absolutely obey Ye Zhao's command.

But this is from the Yuan family!

The three kings of the four generations, in this era, such a family can be comparable to the royal family. Even in terms of influence, the Yuan family is better than the emperor in some aspects. If this team is recruited, God knows whether it will occupy the nest and underestimate Ye Zhao.

Yuan Family?

Ye Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly smiled: "Zhao, why not? Tell them in, so that Yu She will lead the army alone."

"Here!" Ding Li agreed upon hearing this. Since Ye Zhao had spoken, he naturally had nothing to worry about.

Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao's smile and always felt that this matter was not that simple. His lord was not a good man and a trustworthy woman. He actually allowed Yu She to lead the army alone under his command?

Although Ye Zhao smiled very kindly, Qiu Chi knew that whenever Ye Zhao smiled like this, people would usually be unlucky, and suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Yu She. Even though he didn't know what Ye Zhao was trying to make, Qiu Chi felt that Yu She would not end up very well.

"By the way, contact Huang Shao and see how much food and grass there are in the city and how much consumption is?" Ye Zhao looked at Zhang Yuedao who followed Qiu Chi and others on the side.

"Here!" Zhang Yue just agreed simply and disappeared. If she didn't make a sound, it would be difficult for everyone present to feel her existence. Others may feel that the ugly woman around Ye Zhao was redundant, but only those around Ye Zhao knew how much Zhang Yue's existence had helped Ye Zhao.

"Then let's go and rest. The information should be as accurate as possible. After the secret guards enter, they will stay with Huang Shao. They can do something when necessary. I want to break the city! And as soon as possible!" Ye Zhao stood up, looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "You may fight at any time, be prepared. I am too lazy to say those righteous words. You are all your own people. I just want to tell you that this battle is related to our career and wealth."

"Don't worry, lord!" When everyone heard this, they looked solemn and bowed to Ye Zhao.

...

It is not difficult to obtain information in the city. The secret guards are good at sneaking in. If they are heavily guarded, they may not be able to sneak in from outside. But are the Yellow Turbans? At night, the defenders in the city are basically sleeping. There are many people, but as long as you climb up carefully, don’t make too loud noises, and then put on a torn costume. You don’t even need to go to the Yellow Turban Army to grab it. Just find a household to buy some clothes and put on it. You can make a yellow Turban on your head, and you can make a real thing. As long as you don’t get discovered when climbing the city wall, there is basically no danger after you get on the city wall.

So in the eyes of He Yi, Liu Pi, Gong Du and others, the city that was highly defensive was almost useless in the eyes of people like Ye Zhao and Zhang Yue who were proficient in sneaking in.

The next morning, Zhang Yue sent the information Ye Zhao wanted to find out how much grain was stored in the city. It was not difficult. On that day, the three families divided the grain and transported it to their respective areas in a truckload. Huang Shao was trusted by He Yi, and he was a few cultural people. The things he took into account were done by Huang Shao. No one knew better than him about Ge Ling's food and grass situation, and even Liu Pi and Gong Du's food and grass. He had a rough idea of ​​it.

Ye Zhao rested for a night and became much more energetic. Looking at the information sent by Zhang Yue, there were not only food and grass, but also data on daily food and grass consumption in the city. Huang Shao was also a talented person.

"In this way, with the number of Yellow Turban Army in the city now, these food and grass can't last for a few days." Ye Zhao groped his chin and looked at Zhang Yue and said, "In the past few days, I will send people to the city to shoot the surrendered books and tell Huang Shao that as long as he spread the content of the surrendered books, the secret guards try to cooperate with him and find a way to implement them in detail."

"Here!" Zhang Yue agreed, turned around and left.

Ye Zhao recruited Huang Shao and Ding Li again, asking them to prepare for surrendering, and began to shoot into the city in turn early tomorrow morning.

The next morning, the Yellow Turban Army on the top of the city was awakened by a dense sound of footsteps. Under each wall, hundreds of officials were lined up, carrying arrow bags and carrying bows and arrows in hand.

What's going on?

The Yellow Turban Army guarding the city looked at the people in front of them in surprise. One hundred people wanted to attack the city? And there was nothing but attacking the tough ones?

Just when a group of Yellow Turban soldiers were confused, they saw the officials under the city taking off their longbows, bent their bows and putting three arrows on the bowstring at a time. They didn't look closely at the top of the city, and then shot them.

The Yellow Turban Army guarding the city hurriedly grabbed the bow and arrow and fought back, but it was too far apart. The bow used by the opponent was obviously not an ordinary bow and arrow. Standing under the city to shoot arrows, the range was farther than that of them. Most of the arrows shot by the defenders on the city were empty. Even if the ones that could be shot far away, they would become soft and could block them at random.

After four rounds in a row, all the arrows in the arrow bag were shot, and the officials stopped stopping and turned around and left, making the Yellow Turban soldiers guarding the city confused.

"Look, there is something on this arrow!" Someone found the note tied to the arrow cluster. For convenience, Ye Zhao spent a lot of money this time and got Cai Hou paper.

“What is written on it?”

"How could I know?"

Most of the Yellow Turban Army were composed of illiterate farmers. Not to mention the Yellow Turban Army, even among the official army, there were not many people who knew how to read.

Some Yellow Turban generals quickly realized that this might be a surrender book by the Han army, and hurriedly ordered people to collect the notes and destroy them, but many people secretly put away the surrender book, not to mention that many arrow clusters flew directly into the city, which was even more difficult to collect.

Seeing that the official army had no intention of siegeing the city immediately, several Yellow Turban generals discussed it and asked someone to bring their surrender letters back to report.

Ordinary soldiers naturally have no right to inquire, but many people are still very curious about the content of the surrendered book. Ge Ling's situation is not very good now.

How many government troops outside the city are still a mystery, and I probably know a lot, but no one knows how many there are, and I don’t even know where this judgment came from. In short, over time, everyone took it for granted that they were facing the main force of the court, but after all, they were outside the city. Because of the city wall, this is not too high. What brought these Yellow Turban soldiers was a psychological sense of security. It was precisely because of the existence of this city wall that they had the courage to face the main force of the government army.

But the current situation in the city is not good either, He Yi, Gong Du, and Liu Pi.

It is difficult for the soldiers at the bottom to guess what the decision makers at the top are thinking. The more ignorant they are, the easier it is to deify people with higher status than themselves, and feel that they can't guess what they are thinking. But a city, three forces, and not friendly with each other is not an optimistic thing after all, plus the matter of food and grass... The food and grass in the city can't last long, but this is a consensus in the minds of most soldiers.

This is also true. When many people discovered that the Han army might have the intention to surrender, they were moved.

There is no clear answer to how He Yi, Liu Pi and Gong Du viewed the book of surrender, but in the afternoon, the content of the book of surrender was circulated from somewhere and quickly spread throughout the city.

The general meaning is that God has the virtue of living a life. Although our army has the power to break the city, it is really unwilling to commit more killings. Thinking that the Yellow Turbans in the city were once a great man, they were just bewitched and had to be involved in this war. From now on, as long as those who are willing to surrender, they can be exempted from their guilt and become the Han people again.

In the eyes of He Yi and others, these words were very normal words to surrender, but they did not know that they were piercing into the hearts of many Yellow Turban Army.

Although this massive uprising was indeed a revolt that broke out after the lower class people could not survive. However, as the Yellow Turbans became more and more intense, they did not solve their actual difficulties. On the contrary, in most places occupied by the Yellow Turban Army, the people lived a worse life than before. Moreover, many Yellow Turban Army are now surrounded by the Taiping Cult and became Yellow Turban Army in a confused manner. They couldn't even figure out why they wanted to fight, so they carried simple weapons to the battlefield. Not only did they have to fight with well-equipped officers and soldiers, but they even had to fight with their own people. This is also an important factor in causing unstable people.

That night, He Yi was discussing with Huang Shao, He Man and other generals about how to retreat to the enemy. Suddenly, a yellow turban leader came in and said anxiously: "Sir Qu, it's not good. Someone secretly opened the city gate, and hundreds of brothers quietly left the city. Now there are fewer people in the city wall we guard."

"What!?" He Yi stood up after hearing this, gritted his teeth and said, "These ungrateful people!"

Huang Shao stood up and said, "The most urgent thing is to close the city gate first, strengthen supervision, and don't let someone run away again."

"It's reasonable!" He Yi nodded and said, "Wu Ba, take people to pay attention to the city gate, replace the guards with elite troops in the army, and take strict supervision."
