There are more refugees in Yangcheng.

In the past, refugees were just pouring in from Shencheng, but since yesterday, refugees have been coming to Yangcheng in towns around Yangcheng.

As early as when Pei Donglai and others started their activities in Yanzhou, Yangcheng had strengthened its defense. Even in the surrounding towns, many soldiers were laid out. On the one hand, they could protect the peace in the town, and on the other hand, they could also be used as outposts to inform the news at any time. However, these soldiers had been killed by unidentified martial arts practitioners yesterday, and the towns they were stationed in were burned to pieces.

According to these refugees, those people just destroyed the fields of the town, seemed to be looking for something, and did not kill the residents of the town, nor did they plunder the gold and silver of these civilians. However, when they fled from their hometown, they encountered the Chu army halfway. These Chu bandits plundered the gold and silver of these civilians. A few who hid gold and silver were spared, while the other square meters were almost plundered, leaving only a few taels of silver. A few thoughtful people were careful, and they learned during their conversation that the Chu generals let the refugees in Shencheng a few days ago, but did not get much gold and silver. Several generals in the army were very annoyed. This time, the looting around Yangcheng was to loot enough gold and silver.

Fortunately, God was merciful, these refugees only lost some gold and silver. The food they carried on to survive was not robbed by these Chu soldiers. Their purpose seemed to be only on gold and silver, not on food and grass.

With the influx of these refugees, there are also more rumors in Yangcheng.

"Have you heard that? The thieves of the Chu Dynasty robbed everywhere outside Yangcheng yesterday and robbed a lot of gold and silver!"

Among the people who were buying food outside the grain store, a clean-dressed middle-aged man said to his companion next to him.

"Is there such a thing? When we came out of Shencheng before, the thieves of the Chu Dynasty did not touch the gold and silver in our hands."

A tall and thin man was a little confused when he heard this. He and the middle-aged man both escaped from Shencheng. Before the Chu bandits captured Shencheng, he hid all the gold, silver and soft materials in his home, and brought a lot of valuable things on his body. When he was driven out of Shencheng, he was not searched, so he was able to bring gold, silver and soft materials to Yangcheng.

"It is said." The middle-aged man looked around and lowered his voice and said, "It is said that among the bandits, several generals were very dissatisfied with the fact that they had not found gold, silver and jewelry. This time, the soldiers were sent to rob gold, silver and not food and grass."

"Then if that's what it means..." The tall and thin man widened his eyes and whispered in a low voice: "Then you have to quickly mix the gold and silver in your hand into food, so as not to be broken into Yangcheng..."

"Shh! Silence!" The tall and thin man's speech became higher unconsciously, which attracted the attention of many people around him. The middle-aged man hurriedly interrupted him and whispered: "That's true. If you don't act quickly now, when the food price rises, the gold and silver on you and me will not be as valuable as it is now."

"That's right, it's right." The tall and thin man nodded repeatedly and squeezed towards the door of the grain store.

Such conversations appear in every corner of Yangcheng. No matter how they say it, the conclusions are mostly the same: the generals of the Chu Dynasty are greedy for money and do not pay much attention to food and other things!

No matter whether the news is true or false, after hearing this news, they will make a measure in their hearts: Even if the news is false, if the troops in Shencheng attack Yangcheng, can the gold, silver and jewelry in the war be supported? If the Yangcheng garrison cannot defend Yangcheng, what is the use of asking for gold and silver when the Chu army enters Yangcheng? It is better to have food at home to feel at ease! Even if the Chu army leads troops to rob, if the Chu army only needs gold, silver and food, it is still a plan to lose money.

If a family of gold and silver are piled together, they can be taken away just a big bag. But if they are all replaced with food, they will be full of storage and stockpiles!

What is the most likely thing for the Chu Dynasty to rob? Of course, it is easy to carry and has high value gold and silver! Unless there is not enough military rations, they are too lazy to rob food and grass!

The already unstable people's hearts in Yangcheng are almost collapsed!

When people's hearts are in turmoil, as long as there is a little bad news, it will be regarded as a great disaster in their hearts!

When a horse's weight reaches the critical point, even if the weight of a straw is added, the horse will be crushed instantly!

He Nan's strategy of opening warehouses and releasing grain not only did not alleviate the momentum of looting, but instead made more looting people!

"Pei Donglai...What a cruel plan!"

He Nan retreated to the guards who reported the situation in the city and frowned.

The situation has developed to this point and can be confirmed to be driven by Pei Donglai. This strategy just hit He Nan's weakness and prevented him from taking any useful measures. If excessive methods are used to stabilize grain prices, it will make the already turbulent people's hearts even more unstable; if no strategy is adopted, the civilians who have not purchased grain after the grain is sold out will probably cause a lot of trouble.

The most direct and easiest way to stabilize the people's hearts and the situation is to completely defeat the Chu army in Shencheng and defeat the Chu bandit army!

But this method...

He Nan shook his head with a wry smile. Pei Donglai fundamentally defeated Luo Cheng with the power of hundreds of people. After receiving the assistance of the 10,000 army of the lunatic Guo Baotian, he seized Shencheng overnight. According to insiders, Pei Donglai's cultivation level can almost be called the power of the enemy of ten thousand people.

It’s not easy to defeat such an opponent!

"grown ups!"

The guards, who had just been driven out, hurriedly ran in.

"What's the matter, say."

He Nan rubbed his head and felt depressed. Could it be that something happened in the city?

"General Liu of Yunyuguan led 20,000 troops and horses and has arrived ten miles outside the city!"

"What?!"

He Nan suddenly heard the news, and after being stunned, he suddenly became excited!

Reinforcements from Yunyuguan have arrived!

With reinforcements coming, the people in the city will naturally calm down!

And it seems that defeating Pei Donglai is not that impossible now!

“There is not very good news.”

Lu Tao stood in front of Pei Donglai, holding a military newspaper in his hand, smiling bitterly.

"Speak and listen."

Pei Donglai, who was urging military orders, was stunned when he heard this and asked seriously.

"The news just now came that at noon today, a large number of Northern Yan troops entered Yangcheng, with an estimated number of more than 15,000 and less than 20,000. Judging from the direction they came, they should be from Yunyuguan."

Lu Taoyang Yang the military newspaper in his hand and said with a wry smile: "According to the spies, these Northern Yan troops did not carry a large amount of food and grass, and did not look like they were going to stay for a long time."

"In other words, they are likely to launch an attack on Shencheng within five days."

Pei Donglai stopped the matter, thought carefully for a while, and frowned and said, "The Beiyan army from Yunyuguan? In this way, Hu Yanyun is ready to fight back."

"No," Lu Tao flipped through the military newspaper in his hand and replied: "The news from the Marquis of Qishan said that Yanzhou City has been fierce in recent days, changing its defensive posture a few days ago. In addition, there seems to be actions in Yunyuguan, and it is impossible to know in detail for a while. It is speculated that it may be related to the increase in troops."

"How is Luocheng?" Pei Donglai thought about it and asked.

After capturing Shencheng, he sent Wang Chong to Luocheng to explore the truth and reality. Although Luocheng is already in a state of no leader, the more than 10,000 soldiers in the city are not making fun of it. Once Luocheng is renovated, it will not be too wonderful to face the attack between the two sides of Yangcheng Luocheng.

"Small troops in Luocheng have recently entered the city, which seems to be escorting some big shots. General Wang did not take action immediately because of his caution. No one has taken over the gap between the officials in the city, but the army seems to have already had a structure, and it should have been successfully taken over."

"I'm careless." Pei Donglai smiled bitterly and said, "I forgot before that I didn't lay out elite troops outside Luocheng to attack and kill successor officials. Once the army in Luocheng is completely rectified, the next step should be to attack Shencheng together with Yangcheng."

"No need to go later. A Tao." Pei Donglai signed a military order and handed it to Lu Tao, and said seriously: "Leave five thousand people to guard Shencheng and select five thousand elite soldiers. We will immediately attack Luocheng. We must not give Yangcheng a little chance to breathe!"

"yes!"

Lu Tao received the military order and was about to turn around and walk out of the city lord's hall, but he heard a lazy voice saying, "I just remembered now, isn't it a bit late? Stop busy."

A white figure slowly emerged in the city lord's hall with this sentence.

Zheng Fengtu stood lazily in the city lord's hall with his hands.

With a move, he quietly resolved the attack from Lu Tao. Zheng Fengtu smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, killing me will be of no benefit."

"Master Zheng Ling? What's the point of doing?"

Pei Donglai looked at Zheng Fengtu and was quite confused. This Zheng Fengtu, who was not like a living person, made him feel a little afraid. Since Zheng Fengtu left last time, Pei Donglai has not received any news about Zhaoyaoling, but the fact that Sun Ling had evaporated from the world was in front of him, so he was not sure what Zheng Fengtu was intended.

"I'm here to help you, why are you so unhappy?"

Zheng Fengtu took the lead and said Lei Ran: "Send someone to take over Shencheng. There are only 5,000 people in Shencheng now. Even if one person kills these 5,000 people with a knife, no one will resist."

"What do you mean?"

Lu Tao took two steps and asked coldly.

"Ah, nothing." Zheng Fengtu dusted his snow-white clothes and said disrespectfully: "On the way here just now, I saw the troops in Luocheng who were dressed up and looked murderous. I felt unhappy for a moment, so I fought with them."

Zheng Fengtu looked up and thought for a while, shook his head and sighed, "This time I did something bad. I have been ruined by ten thousand people. Oh, who knows why they can't stand the beating? I can't blame me for this."

Luo Cheng was slaughtered by Zheng Fengtu alone.

More than 13,000 soldiers in Beiyan were killed.

"How did this help?"
