Zhu Jun worked hard and spent more than half a month finally arriving at the south bank of the Yellow River. As long as he crossed the Yellow River, he would reach the boundary of Jizhou.
Zhu Jun's 30,000 cavalry arrived in Yanzhou, which excited everyone in Yanzhou. The entire Jizhou was captured by the Tengjia Army. Naturally, Yanzhou officials were wary of the Tengjia Army crossing the Yellow River to attack Yanzhou. They scraped together and managed to organize 2 Ten thousand troops, but I heard that the Tengjia Army has more than 400,000 troops in Jizhou. The few recruits they have can only be said to be better than nothing. It is really difficult to bring them a sense of security. Many officials and noble families are ready to continue to escape. . And now Zhu Jun's arrival in Yanzhou finally gives them some confidence!
The nobles and nobles who had fled from Jizhou knew that Zhu Jun was coming, so they went to him and cried: "Zhu Shangshu! You have to help us make the decision! The unruly people in Jizhou are crazy. They not only divide our fields, rob our property, but also massacre us." Our people, the gentry in Weijun, Zhao, Changshan and other places, as long as they did not escape, they all died at the hands of the Yellow Turban Army. Wang Dang was a murderous demon. He would not even spare a child if he fell into his hands. Jizhou Dozens of noble families have been wiped out by him!"
Wang Dang and his men were all from the west of Jizhou. The local people were either massacred by the powerful clans or sold by them. It can be said that each of Wang Dang's men had a blood feud with the clans in the western part of Jizhou.
In the past, they had no ability and could only hide in the mountains, but now that these powerful nobles have lost the protection of the Jizhou Army, Wang Dang believes that they have the ability to take revenge. Naturally, they will take revenge and complain.
As long as a member of the powerful gentry fell into their hands, the whole clan would be killed. Wang Dang wiped out dozens of powerful gentry in Jizhou in less than a month in Wei County and other places, and massacred thousands of people!
Such a cruel massacre caused all the wealthy nobles in Jizhou to flee to Yanzhou! So as soon as they saw Zhu Jun, they immediately came to him and cried to him, and wanted Zhu Jun to help them take revenge!
Zhu Jun was surprised and said: "Even Wei County fell, and the Tengjia Army captured the entire Jizhou so quickly? Don't you have more than 200,000 troops? Are they all living on dry food? Why didn't you resist for three months? !”
No wonder Zhu Jun was so surprised. Wei County is already the southernmost county in Jizhou. If Wei County falls, it means that the entire Jizhou has been captured by the Tengjia Army.
"Lei Gong's ability to confuse people is too strong!" A family head said helplessly: "As long as Lei Gong's people come, these unscrupulous people will join Lei Gong's army like crazy, and then they will rush to our Wubao in thousands. We can't resist at all! Even the Jizhou army is a group of thieves. They eat our food and drink our food. When the rebels come, they not only protect us, but also open the city to let them in!"
For the powerful nobles in Jizhou, the betrayal of the Jizhou army is the most intolerable thing for them!
Most of the newly recruited Jizhou Army were their slaves. They ate, drank, and used their food. In the end, they rebelled against their masters and massacred their masters. In the eyes of Jizhou's powerful gentry, the Jizhou Army was simply Yin and Yang are reversed, master and servant are displaced, Chang Gang is not here! He is the target of destruction!
Zhu Jun was surprised again and said: "The Jizhou Army actually rebelled and joined the Tengjia Army?"
But he thought that when he inspected Jizhou a few months ago, the entire land in Jizhou belonged to hundreds of noble families and powerful men, and the people in Jizhou had become their serfs.
However, when Lei Gong came to Jizhou, he gave 30 acres of land to the people of Jizhou. After such a comparison, it is no wonder that the Jizhou Army rebelled.
No one is born willing to be a slave. The wealthy nobles in Jizhou were killed by their own greed.
Zhu Jun asked helplessly: "How many remnants of the Jizhou Army are left now, and how many cities in Jizhou have not been captured by the Tengjia Army?"
The head of the wealthy family in Jeju looked at each other and said: "The Jizhou army was either wiped out by the Tengjia army or instigated by them to rebel. Only a few thousand people followed us to Yanzhou. Almost all the hundreds of cities in Jizhou were captured by the Tengjia army. Now only Lunucheng and Nanpi are still holding on, but after we escaped to Yanzhou, we no longer knew the news about Jizhou. This happened more than half a month ago. As for whether these two cities have been captured now, we don’t know. Got it!"
Bian Rang, the prefect of Dongjun, said: "Zhu Shangshu, looking at the current situation, there is no way to save Jizhou. It is better for your army to stay in Yanzhou and help us resist the Tengjia Army. Otherwise, the Tengjia Army will cross the Yellow River and go south to Yanzhou. The Central Plains is in danger!"
There are only 20,000 new soldiers in Yanzhou now. Bianrang has nightmares about the Tengjia Army invading Dongjun and hanging him. Now that Zhu Jun is here, of course he wants to take him out.
Zhu Jun wondered: "I will enter Jizhou to see if the situation in Jizhou can turn around!"
Bian Rang said a little angrily: "The situation in Jizhou is now irreversible. If you bring a large army into Jizhou, you will definitely be annihilated by the Tengjia Army. The Tengjia Army may even be angry with us. Maybe the Tengjia Army will lead them across the Yellow River." Attacking Yanzhou, how can we resist the Tengjia Army? If it weren't for Zhu Shangshu who led an army of 50,000 to King Qin, how could Yanzhou not have the troops to defend the Tengjia Army? Now that you are leaving us again, where is your conscience, Zhu Shangshu? !The Central Plains has been conquered, how can you explain to the court!"
When Zhu Jun heard this, he was in a dilemma for a while!
Jizhou, Nanpi!
As the Tengjia Army broke through the Wubao one by one, more than half of the Wubao in Nanpi were breached, and more than half of Ju Yi's 30,000 soldiers were killed or injured! With no reinforcements in sight, the morale of his soldiers declined sharply, and most of them were I don’t want to continue this meaningless battle!
Colonel Ma Yan led the Nanpi Army Sima and above officers to find Ju Yidao: "General, now we have no fortified city inside and no reinforcements outside. It is meaningless to continue fighting. The soldiers do not want to die such a meaningless death." In Nanpi!”
Ju Yi looked at his officers and said expressionlessly: "You all want to join Lei Gong?"
No one dared to look at Ju Yi, and finally Ma Yan said: "General, if there is even a slight chance of victory, we will not surrender to the Tengjia Army. After all, Lei Gong is not friendly to us. If we surrender to Lei Gong, he will only be sent to a deserted island overseas." Dig struvite.
But it has been almost three months since the Tengjia Army attacked Jizhou. We were beaten and retreated, but the court did not have any reinforcements. Even if there was a chance of victory, we did not want to surrender. It is a pity that we have no chance of victory at all. I hope that if we continue to fight, everyone’s lives will be wasted!”
Ju Yi said firmly: "If you want to surrender, I will not stop you, but I will not surrender. Those who want to continue fighting will stay. Tomorrow we will fight to the death with the Tengjia Army!"
Then he looked at Ma Yan and said: "After I die in battle, you can lead the remaining soldiers to join Lei Gong!"
