Since the Han army was weak in Youzhou, it was not impossible for the Northern Zhou army to make a comeback under the leadership of Dugu Yongye.
These aristocratic families are all hoping that Dugu Yongye can bring the Northern Zhou army back and let them become the local snakes of Youzhou again. You must know that without the gold and silver wealth and manpower support of these aristocratic families, neither Yuwen Gong nor Dugu
Regardless of eternal industry, it is not a climate.
But before that, they had had some dealings with Baipao who knew his identity, and they had even done things like selling information. They had to leave a way out for themselves, right? When it comes to sitting on the fence, these numbers
If a family that has been like this for hundreds of years says that it is second, no one in the world will dare to compete for first place. Even the former Xi Liang Xiao Kui, who is now the emperor's cheap father-in-law, has to stay away and feel ashamed.
And the same is true now. If the family cooperates and pulls all their young men to the top of the city, that will not work. Most of their young men have escaped from the previous siege battles, and they cannot be sent out now.
.
The last attack of the Han army was very concentrated, so the children of the family who were deliberately arranged on the other city walls by the aristocratic families were not harmed. However, this time the relationship between the Han army was not so easy to open up, and the attack of the Northern Zhou army was also not easy.
It will definitely be concentrated like the Han army, so damage is naturally inevitable, and the noble families will certainly not want to cooperate.
Therefore, these aristocratic families can only give money and food if they are killed, but they are reluctant to send their own people to fight. Without the leading role of the aristocratic families, the people below are naturally unwilling to send their own children out.
After all, they all have high recognition and trust in the aristocratic families. Since the aristocratic families all work together, it means that there is no danger and there is even a chance to make achievements. And even the aristocratic families do not have the courage, so everyone does not dare to do it.
Ma Tian felt a little ashamed. After all, he failed to accomplish this task and even directly delayed the entire Yan County's defensive layout.
The city of Yanjun is high and deep, and the city defenses on the east, west and north are very complete, which is an advantage. However, as the seat of Youzhou Prefecture, Yanjun is also the largest city in Youzhou. The Han army only has 8,000 people, minus the previous losses.
There are only more than 7,000 points available for battle.
It is indeed very difficult for seven thousand people to defend such a large city.
So now the defenders also need the support of the strong men in the city.
Li Yuanfang, the general next to him, clenched his fists and said, "Uncle, how about I take my sons and my men and take out all these young men?"
"There is no need to force others to do something difficult. On the contrary, it may cause chaos." Luo Yi shook his head and said, "You, please stabilize your mentality first."
Li Yuanfang is Li Xun's legitimate son, so he and Luo Yi have always been referred to as "uncle and nephew". Li Xun arranged for his sons to serve in the Marine Corps. Naturally, he expressed his support for Luo Yi and his support for the Marine Corps.
Trust. And Li Yuanfang is a general in the end. When he was in Nanyang, he was repeatedly promoted due to his bravery in combat. He was already a general in an army at a young age.
But Luo Yi knew very well that Li Yuanfang's achievements were all piled up with the heads of the natives of Nanyang, and those natives of Nanyang were certainly incomparable to the Northern Zhou army in terms of wisdom and combat power. Therefore, simple and crude methods were the best way to deal with them.
It's a useful method. But this method doesn't work for these rich and colorful families.
Especially now Luo Yi still needs their support. If he offends these guys and creates riots in the city after the war starts, then the gains outweigh the losses. Yan County already has few manpower, and if it causes turmoil, Yan County will really be in trouble.
I can't hold it any longer.
Li Yuanfang waved his fist: "Then we can't just let these guys squat at home and watch jokes!"
Luo Yi's eyes flashed: "Don't they want to see a joke? How about inviting them to the top of the city to watch?"
"This?" Li Yuanfang, Ma Tian and the surrounding generals all looked surprised.
"Let them see who is going to make the joke." Luo Yi said with a smile.
Li Yuanfang came back to his senses, clapped his hands and praised: "Wonderful, wonderful!"
————————————
There are not many wealthy families in Yan County. The top ones are the Lu family and the Zu family, plus the Han family and other branches of the family. In fact, the county seats of the Lu family and the Zu family are in Fanyang, but in recent years, the Youzhou family has
The administrative center and economic center moved north to Yan County, so these families also moved to Yan County.
The Lu family and the Zu family are both well-established families in Youzhou. Although no well-known figures have been born in these years, anyone who wants to gain a foothold in Youzhou cannot ignore this.
The existence of two families.
In fact, the underground trade between Dahan and Youzhou also had the shadow of these two aristocratic families, but on the surface, of course, they were staunch supporters of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
When it comes to changing faces and putting on pretense, the aristocratic family is well versed in it.
The Han army's entry into Yan County was, to be honest, beyond the imagination of these aristocratic families. Lu Peng, the head of the Lu family, and Zu Fan, the head of the Zu family, were still arguing over who could win the iron ore transportation order from Liaodong. Now,
As the situation changed, the two immediately put aside their previous differences and stood firmly together. At this time, hugging each other for warmth is the most correct choice.
As expected, the big man couldn't do anything to them. However, Luo Yi respectfully invited them to come to the city to watch the battle, and this time they couldn't refuse. They had previously come forward to receive Ma Tian in person, but now it was too late even to pretend to be sick.
.
In desperation, Lu Peng and Zu Fan stood on the city wall together with the thought of "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?" The two brothers' expressions were a bit complicated. But there are others who have more complicated expressions than them, then
It was Yuwen Gong and Cui Yanmu who were tied up next to them.
These two guys were not dealt with in the first place, but now they are both prisoners. There is also a feeling that the vicissitudes of the world have changed and fate has played a trick on people. Naturally, they are not in the mood to quarrel and bicker. Even when they saw Lu Peng and Zu Fan coming up, they didn't
say what.
Lu Peng originally wanted to salute, but Zu Fan tugged on his sleeves, pursed his lips, and reminded Lu Peng that Luo Yi was watching not far away. Lu Peng was so scared that Lu Peng did not dare to make any more moves, and the two of them were a little stiff.
He stood on the city wall and blew the wind with the two prisoners next to him.
Originally, Luo Yi wanted to greet them, but the enemy troops below the city did not agree.
The Northern Zhou army from Changping County arrived very quickly, their trebuchets had been set up, and they were advancing here bit by bit.
Luo Yi erected a cyan flag at the top of the city where Yuwen Gong was, with the word "Yan" written on it, informing the Northern Zhou army below the city that your Royal Highness, King Yan, is here, and you can fight if you want.
, I don’t care if someone dies.
I don’t know whether it was the presence of Yuwen Gong that really made them use the weapon as a weapon, or whether the artillery protruding from the dark side of the city had enough deterrence that the Northern Zhou army really didn’t dare to attack forward for a while.
