Chapter 353 Kidnapping

Zhang Yu caught a bunch of aristocratic families in the county.

Not only the family in this county, but also the aristocratic families in Leping City were arrested by Zhang Yu.

Originally, Zhang Yu didn't want to touch these people.

But when he heard that many aristocratic families started running away with their property, Zhang Yu decided to arrest these aristocratic families.

"Zhang Yu, you have confiscated our property, why are you arresting us?" Prefect Yang Gan was also taken away by Zhang Yu, so he questioned Zhang Yu.

"Because you are valuable. For example, you, the prefect, should sell your head for 300,000 yuan." Zhang Yu looked at Yang Gan and said.

"Hehe." Yang Gan sneered twice and said, "Don't even think about it, even if I die, I won't be insulted by you."

When Yang Gan heard this, Zhang Yu actually wanted to kidnap him and demand ransom from him.

How could Yang Gan be a scribe, he has a very good face, how could he give in.

Zhang Yu was not in a hurry, and said to him softly: "Don't worry, Yuan Shao will pay the money. If you don't pay, I will give him your head."

Zhang Yu went over and patted Yang Gan on the shoulder and said, "It's time to test your status in Yuan Shao's heart, and see if Yuan Shao will give you money."

Yang Gan was stunned, he didn't expect Zhang Yu to come up with such a crazy thing.

Yang Qian was very anxious and didn't know what to say. He didn't react until Zhang Yu walked a few steps, pointed at Zhang Yu with trembling hands and said: "You are also a prefect and general appointed by the court, and you are willing to degenerate. If you become a kidnapper, you will lose face."

Zhang Yu turned around and stopped and said: "In the eyes of the aristocratic family, who am I? I have used all kinds of dirty words on me, and I have no face for a long time."

Zhang Yu laughed at himself again and said: "Besides, how much is face worth? Can it be exchanged for thousands of troops or what?"

Yang Gan completely turned off the fire, he didn't know what to say, nothing he said was of any use.

Zhang Yu arrested them all just to exploit them more.

In the evening, when Dian Wei came back, he brought a large group of people and wealth with him.

These aristocratic families were crying and yelling and cursing along the way, but Dian Wei became angry and ordered them to beat them half to death.

Some who are afraid of death dare not speak up, while some who are not afraid of death still want to be stubborn.

Dian Wei hated others shouting all the time, so he asked the soldiers to strip off their clothes, none of them dared to shout, and obediently became prisoners.

The city was plundered, and together with the captives and the seized property, Zhang Yu obtained more than three million yuan in property.

"Yes, yes, Jizhou is rich, and I can equip another 30,000 soldiers and horses when I go back."

With this wealth, other princes could equip 100,000 soldiers and horses, but Zhang Yu is different. Zhang Yu is very good to the soldiers. Not to mention the high salary, the usual food is also good, but the training tasks are also high.

After defeating one county, Zhang Yu followed suit and attacked three county towns one after another.

A few days later, the whole Jizhou got the news, not only Yecheng, but the whole Jizhou was shaken.

Zhang Yu actually ran to the hinterland of Jizhou and took all the counties and cities.

The whole Jizhou was shaken, and there were all kinds of remarks.

For a time, Zhang Yu had various nicknames.

When Zhang Yu achieved great fame, Yuan Shao's prestige suffered a huge blow.

Although in Jizhou, the major families still support him, but among the people, his prestige has plummeted.

At the same time, it gradually lost the prestige of commanding the world.

Yuan Shao used to be able to appoint many officials to the outside world, but now many powerful people do not agree with him.

Zhang Yu attacked seven or eight counties in Leping County and confiscated more than 10 million yuan in property.

At this time, it has been several days since Zhang Yu occupied Leping City.

At this time Yuan Shao personally rushed towards Zhang Yu with an army of 50,000.

At the same time, Yan Liang and Wen Chou hurried over with an army of 70,000.

When Yan Liang and Wen Chou received Zhang Yu's capture of Leping City, they were stunned.

"Impossible, how could this happen?" Yan Liang said blankly.

"Brother Yan,

I really can't figure it out, we chased all the way here, we did not see Zhang Yu and Dian Wei, but their soldiers and horses were not small, so where did Zhang Yu hide such a large army. " Wen Chou said.

The faces of the two generals were full of embarrassment at this moment.

As a general of Jizhou, he allowed the enemy to break through three counties in a row, and turned upside down in Jizhou.

As generals, they have no face left.

"Damn it, no matter where Zhang Yu's army came from, we must catch him this time." Yan Liang said angrily.

The two dared not delay, they were astonished, and immediately led the army to the south, preparing to encircle and suppress Zhang Yu with Yuan Shao.

Zhang Yu has naturally received the information.

At this point he was planning how to leave.

"Oh, it's a pity that it's not cavalry, otherwise Jizhou will not be peaceful." After research, Zhang Yu was unable to break through from important places in Jizhou, which felt very pity.

Because the enemy has sent additional troops to these important places, it is very difficult for Zhang Yu to make a sneak attack.

If it was cavalry, Zhang Yu at least dared to lead people in to find opportunities, but he only had 5,000 cavalry and more than 2,000 horses, and the other 20,000 were infantry.

Infantry, there is no way to move quickly, and it is easy to be surrounded by the enemy.

Zhang Yu moved east with his army, and then entered the state of Zhao.

The State of Zhao was also a county in Jizhou. After entering the State of Zhao, Zhang Yu did not continue to capture the county seat, but hurried on with his army.

Zhang Yu took people to a place called Yuanshi County.

Yuanshi County is the northernmost county of Zhao State, close to Changshan County.

After Zhang Yu arrived here, he occupied Yuanshi County.

"My lord, don't we have to run after we finish the fight? Why do we need to build fortifications and prepare supplies for the defense of the city?" Dian Wei said puzzled.

"Yuan Shao's army of more than 100,000 came to surround him. It's not so easy to run away. Let's fight a battle and hurt them."

This was also part of Zhang Yu's plan. He was leading infantry, and it was difficult to escape, so he found a relatively strong city and planned to defend it.

In fact, Zhang Yu defending the city is equally harmful to Jizhou.

Jizhou must mobilize soldiers and horses to surround here. No matter how big the movement is, it will do great harm to Jizhou.

Zhang Yu asked Dianwei to strengthen the city defenses, and at the same time asked people to collect a large number of stones and rolling logs outside the city, preparing to hold on.

Zhang Yu also asked tens of thousands of people in the city to give them food, and some of them were willing to work.

Within a few days, Zhang Yu turned a county town into an iron barrel.

At this time, Yuan Shao and Yan Liang were only two days away with the army.

Zhang Yu originally had 25,000 soldiers and horses, and then he recruited 5,000 more. At this time, Yuanshi County had an army of 30,000.

An army of 30,000 defended a county seat, which had been reinforced. Zhang Yu was confident of defending it for a month.

Of course, Zhang Yu didn't have to stay so long. If he achieved his goal ahead of time, he could naturally leave early.
