I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 210
After Xu You arrived in Yecheng, he first sent people into the city to explain his intentions. He still put on airs, thinking that he had made great contributions to the Bingzhou Army, and he should be respected no matter what.

Soon, the gate of Ye City opened, and Zhang Yun rushed out first, but asked very politely: "I am Zhang Yun, General of the Baotao Army, who is Mr. Xu You?"

Xu You looked sideways at the sky, with his nostrils up, and said boldly, "I am. I helped your lord get rid of the troubles in his heart. I am a hero of you and the state army."

Seeing that the man who was the seller and begging for glory had a proud face, Zhang Yun suddenly became angry, and really wanted to cut off the man's head, but remembering Jushou's explanation, he also endured it, cupped his hands, not cold He said nonchalantly, "Sir, please, the governor of Jizhou appointed by my lord is already waiting in the hall."

"What? Someone has already been selected as the governor of Jizhou?" Xu You looked at Zhang He in disbelief.

Originally, Xu You felt that he took Yuan Shao's head and went to serve on his own initiative, and he was very familiar with Jizhou, so he should be the new governor of Jizhou, even if he didn't, he would be trusted by others and have a bright future, but now he actually Someone has already got there first.

Then he followed Zhang Xi and walked towards the city, he wanted to see who the governor of Jizhou was.

After entering the lobby, Xu You couldn't wait to meet the new governor of Jizhou, but found an acquaintance in the lobby, sitting on a high platform, looking at him calmly.

"Jushou? Are you the new governor of Jizhou?" Xu You looked at Jushou in disbelief. In his opinion, Jushou was Yuan Shao's loyal loyalist. Once Yecheng was destroyed, he would definitely not submit to the Bingzhou Army. He would either die in battle or be captured. .But he never expected that he would appear here in such a grand manner.

Suddenly Xu You seemed to think of a huge conspiracy. It seemed that only this could explain why Yan Liang fell so quickly.

"Could it be that you have already taken refuge in Li Shimin?" Xu You asked in surprise.

Looking at Xu You with a surprised face, Ju Shou said with a smile: "Yes, I was ordered to join Han Fu as early as two years ago to plan Jizhou for my lord. Originally, when Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were fighting for Jizhou, my lord was There is a chance to recover Jizhou, but this plan was temporarily abandoned in order to pacify Xiliang, and now Jizhou returns, it is clear and smooth."

"What? Actually, two years ago, he was plotting against Jizhou. Li Shimin is really scary, and Yuan Shao was not wronged at all when he lost to him." Xu You was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Seeing Xu You's shocked face, Ju Shou said with a smile: "I still want to thank you sir for bringing Yuan Shao's head back. I will think my lord will ask for credit for you, haha."

Xu You, who was shocked at the beginning, gradually turned red, and finally turned very gray and defeated.

Only at this time did Xu You realize how stupid, how ridiculous, and how self-righteous he was.

I originally thought that the Bingzhou Army needed local officials to cooperate with them in occupying Jizhou, and I had a certificate of approval, so I could naturally be reused. I didn’t expect that Ju Shou was actually an undercover agent of the Bingzhou Army. He played a very important role in Jizhou. .

Taking Yuan Shao's head now is just the icing on the cake. It is not necessarily rare for others, but it is very likely that they will hate him because of it. After all, he bears the notoriety of murdering the master.

A feeling of humiliated frustration swept over him, and an inexplicable hatred suddenly rose in his heart, burning blazingly in Xu You's chest.

"I must make the Bingzhou Army pay a painful price for this, and I must..."

Guan Yu finally arrived in Yecheng three days later. After discussing with Jushou and Zhang He, Guan Yu decided to leave Zhang He and lead [-] soldiers to garrison Yecheng to prevent the remnants of the Yuan family from resurging. Ma also came under the unified jurisdiction of Zhang Xi, and could attack in due course to cooperate with Zhang Liao in attacking Youzhou.

Guan Yu personally led an army of [-] to fight southward all night and night, preparing to deal a fatal blow to Cao Cao.

Zhao Yun, who was far away in Hanoi, also received news from Li Shimin to strengthen his army preparations. Li Shimin also allowed him to continue to recruit troops in Hanoi County, and at the same time collect large ships, rush to make siege equipment, and wait for Guan Yu's arrival.

Li Shimin's original plan was to close the door and fight dogs, but after discussing with several of his think tanks, he made a comprehensive analysis of the enemy's situation, military strength, etc., and everyone agreed that the time for a strategic decisive battle with Cao Cao was not yet ripe, and there was no need to take risks. With that, it is important to be steady and steady.

Cao Cao still had 18 troops to attack Sili, all of whom were elite soldiers with good combat power.On the other hand, on Li Shimin's side, only [-] to [-] troops can be mobilized, and of course they are all elites.

If it really brings about a decisive battle in Luoyang, the outcome is unpredictable, even if it can win, it will be a miserable victory, and the risk is too great.Besides, Li Shimin's focus in this battle is still to occupy Jizhou and Youzhou. In this way, he can unify most of the north and fight steadily. Who can be the enemy in the world?
Therefore, Li Shimin changed his mind and planned to give Cao Cao a chance to encircle Wei and save Zhao.

…………

Although Li Shimin was besieged in Luoyang City at this time, he did not panic. Luoyang City is high and wide, easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as the defense is proper, it will not be breached in a short time.

At this time, although Cao Cao had surrounded Luoyang, he had not attacked the city in a large scale for several days. Instead, he had been rushing to manufacture siege equipment, waiting for the thunderbolt chariot escorted by the rear army. Naturally, he wanted to be fully prepared and attacked.

Cheng Lian led the army to patrol the city day and night, just to prevent people in the city from making troubles and disrupting the city defenses. Lu Bu patrolled the city on horseback, not letting go of any hidden dangers.

Under Li Ru's careful planning, some families in Luoyang City that had secret ties with the Guandong princes, such as members of the Hongnong Yang family and the Luoyang Wei family, were all wiped out and ransacked their homes.

It's just that Wei Luoyang Wei family and Li Shimin didn't kill them all for the sake of Cai Wenji's face, but exiled them all to the frontier, which counted as saving their lives.

In this way, all the ghosts and snakes in Luoyang City were wiped out, cutting off the possibility of the enemy's internal and external peace.

On the other hand, Li Shimin recruited people and strong people in Luoyang City, purge them into an army, and serve as the second-level defensive force for the city.

Since Zhang Yang became the Luoyang Commander, he has been upright, diligent and dedicated to his duties, and has always been the master of the people. He has no mercy towards the powerful landlords of the people of Kia. The people of Luoyang are very grateful for his kindness.

In addition, Li Shimin reduced Luoyang's tax burden for another year, and the people all applauded.Therefore, the people in Luoyang are all peace of mind and cherish such days. Therefore, when they heard that someone was going to attack Luoyang, they took the initiative to apply to defend the city, and gathered more than 2 young and middle-aged men in a short time.

Li Shimin was very pleased when he heard about it, and immediately rewarded Zhang Yang, the commander of Luoyang, for his good governance.
