The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

If Zhou Cheng is unable to successfully capture Jingzhou later, then Yuan Yao will be the biggest drag.

Therefore, he was scared to death at this moment and did not dare to think of anything.

Looking at Wenpin in front of him, he felt even more anxious.

He was thinking about giving up Lujiang directly.

Then he took his cronies to Zhao Yun's camp in Runan.

Express his apology to Zhou Cheng.

He said that he did not know these things and asking Zhou Cheng for help was just his instinctive reaction.

Wenpin looked at Yuan Yao and smiled:"This is nothing."

"My lord has specifically told me to come here because I am familiar with the situation of the Sun family."

"So you don’t have to worry, the Lord has already made arrangements for these aspects."

"We only need to defend Lujiang now, and there is nothing else to worry about."

Yuan Yao saw Wenpin say this.

He was relieved:"That's good, otherwise Yuan would really have no face to see the lord.

Wenpin nodded and said,"My lord, you have a wonderful plan. We can guess where it is.""

"Now you first tell me about the situation in Lujiang, and then we will discuss how to solve the problem."

Yuan Yao immediately said:"The most difficult problem to solve now is those wealthy and aristocratic families."

"They refused to pay for grain and grass. As a result, the granary in Lujiang was now empty, and they did not dare to go out of the city to fight."

"Because that will increase more food consumption and it won’t last long."

"While being trapped in Lujiang, once Zhou Tai sent troops from Shouchun to attack"

"As long as the city is surrounded, it won't take a month. I'm afraid Lujiang will run out of food and go on a hunger strike."

"The situation at General Ji's side is not much better, and food is also very difficult."

"Right now, just as General Wen relayed what his lord meant, Zhou Tai is waiting for the coalition forces of Cao, Liu and Zhang to attack Jingzhou"

"Then he will send troops to besiege Lujiang, attract the attention of the lord, and then take the opportunity to swallow Jiangxia."

After receiving Wenpin's advice, Yuan Yao was able to see the current situation clearly.

He thought that he had just defected to Zhou Cheng and had no merit, so he could only think of ways to do something now.

As his own merit.

After listening to Yuan Yao's words, Wenpin also knew the current situation in Lujiang.

He thought for a while and said to Yuan Yao:"Now you first list for me some of the most stubborn wealthy families."

"Then I will bring people directly to the door to communicate with them. If that doesn't work, I will use force to suppress them."

"Let them set an example and tell the wealthy and aristocratic families around us that we are not to be trifled with."

"Whoever dares to seek refuge with Jiangdong’s Sun family at this time will definitely be wiped out by us."

"Let them know the consequences of doing so."

Yuan Yao was overjoyed when he heard this. He felt that it was Wenpin after all, and he was worthy of being a famous general guarding Jiangxia.

He would take tough measures directly from the beginning. He was no better than himself.

So he quickly asked his entourage to bring a map and showed Wenpin on the map. Identify the locations of those wealthy families

"At present, these five companies have the toughest attitudes."

"Other wealthy families may even superficially say that they don’t have much food left, but they really can’t stand out."

"And these five families directly beat out the food collection personnel I sent, and some of them are still lying in bed recovering from their injuries! Wenpin looked at the map and clicked on a sign next to his camp.

He said,"Let's start with them and attack them first!""

Nodding, Yuan Yao said:"Okay, this time I will lead the way for General Wen."

After the two agreed, Yuan Yao returned to the city to rest first, and Wenpin arranged for his soldiers to get ready.

The next day, Yuan Yao arrived at Wenpin's camp early in the morning.

Wenpin had already made preparations. , so he set off with his men and horses.

"The place we are going to this time is called Li Zhai Fort. The owner of the fort, Li Jue, still has some boxing skills."

"In the early days, my family was quite wealthy. Taking advantage of the chaos in the world, we took in the refugees and built a walled city."

"Now it has a certain scale. There are about 5,000 clans and 10,000 close followers in the castle."

"There are also nearly 20,000 refugees outside the fort to help him cultivate the fields."

"The food collector we sent last time was severely injured by his orders, and now he can't get off the ground."

There was nothing going on along the way, so Yuan Yao introduced the situation here to Wenpin.

After hearing this, Wenpin also had a serious expression.

This is obviously a tough wealthy family, and they are already determined to join Zhou Tai.

At this time, it is not possible If they wanted to operate on him, I'm afraid that the surrounding wealthy families would think that they were easy to bully.

As Wenpin was thinking, the army quickly arrived at Li Zhai Fort.

It took less than half an hour, and it turned out to be very close

"General Wen, in front is Fort Li Zhai."Yuan Yao said, pointing to the walled city built of wood and stone in front.

Wenpin looked ahead and felt that a lot of thought had been put into the construction of this walled city. It was very well-defended, with densely packed houses inside.

There were also high High granaries stand between the houses.

Outside the walled city, various farmlands are lined up.
