After a night of fighting, when the sun rose, the whole Yecheng became quiet.

All the resisting defenders were killed, and the rest either hid to save their lives or surrendered obediently.

The common people were frightened all night and did not dare to come out at all. The doors of the aristocratic families were also closed, but occasionally one or two people would come in and out to inquire about news.

No matter how scared the people and aristocratic families in Yecheng are, they all know one thing, that is, the Yuan family's rule in Jizhou is over, and they will usher in a new master, Liu Yu, King of Zhao of the Han Dynasty.

After Huang Zhong captured Yecheng, he immediately sent knights to report Liu Yu's victory, and then fell asleep because he was too tired.

Chen Gong was heartbroken when he saw Huang Zhong sleeping with injuries all over his body. He quickly arranged for the doctor to treat Huang Zhong. But Huang Zhong didn't even respond to the doctor bandaging him and slept soundly.

Liu Yu originally wanted to help Huang Zhong capture Yecheng, but to his surprise, Huang Zhong had already captured Yecheng.

When Liu Yu received the news, he was really excited by Huang Zhong's good news.

Liu Yu asked the knight who reported the news: "How was Yecheng captured?"

The knight handed the battle report written by Chen Gong to Liu Yu, and Liu Yu read it carefully. Chen Gong wrote down the entire process of the capture of Ye City, without any omissions.

After a long time, Liu Yu said with a smile: "Guo Gongze has made another great contribution. Hebei has fallen into my hands!"

The entire four states in Hebei, with the exception of Qingzhou, are all controlled by Liu Yu. Yuan Shang cannot stop Liu Yu with just Qingzhou.

Liu Yu announced the news that Yecheng had been captured to the entire army and ordered the entire army to speed up the march.

As soon as the soldiers heard the news, they quickly marched towards Yecheng as if they had been given blood.

Before Liu Yu's troops arrived at Yecheng, Huang Zhong had already woken up early and brought a large number of people to greet them at the city gate. It seemed that they had been waiting for a long time.

"We will pay homage to the lord (Prince)." Huang Zhong took the lead in saluting.

Liu Yu dismounted, helped Huang Zhong up, and said softly: "Uncle, you are lucky."

"This is what the general and others should do. Please, my lord, enter the city first!" Huang Zhong said with a smile.

Liu Yu entered Yecheng under the guidance of Huang Zhong and others. Yecheng had just experienced a battle and fire last night. Although Huang Zhong and Chen Gong arranged for manpower to clean up and put out the fire, the traces of the fire were still there. Many people were still there.

Homeless, sitting on the roadside, eyes full of confusion. Their home is gone, and they don't know how to live the rest of their lives.

Liu Yu saw all this in his eyes. Yecheng was conquered, and future reconstruction work was also put on the agenda.

Liu Yu noticed that there were a lot of people in brocade clothes behind him. They looked either rich or noble, and asked: "Gongtai, who are the people behind this?"

"Reporting to my lord, these are members of Jizhou's aristocratic families. Today they have abandoned the secrets and come to see my lord!" Chen Gong replied with a smile, a little bit of disdain.

The people of these aristocratic families are all heads of each family. Some are local snakes in Yecheng, and some come from Zhongshan, Changshan and other places.

Compared with the aristocratic families in Yecheng, the heads of the aristocratic families in other places are quite aware of current affairs. Although they have not openly taken refuge in Liu Yu, they still support Liu Yu's relevant policies. At least they have not caused trouble. They heard that Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan

When the fire broke out, these smart people immediately concluded that Liu Yu would be able to capture Yecheng and hurriedly came to see him. The result was not what they expected.

There were the largest number of heads of aristocratic families in Ye City. They did not expect that Liu Yu's army could capture Ye City so easily. If they had known this, they would have killed Shen Pei and opened the city gate to claim credit. Liu Yu controlled the general trend of Jizhou.

It was irreversible, so they took remedial action. They visited Huang Zhong and Chen Gong in an endless stream and gave them many gifts, hoping that Huang Zhong and Chen Gong would say something nice in front of Liu Yu.

Huang Zhong was injured and was too lazy to pay attention to these helpless people, so he left everything to Chen Gong to deal with.

Chen Gong was also from a noble family and understood the intentions of these people. He also thought that Liu Yu might need these people in the future, so he accepted the gift generously, saying that he would do his best to put in a good word in front of Liu Yu.

.

That's why there was a scene where people from the aristocratic family followed Huang Zhong and Chen Gong and waited for Liu Yu.

Liu Yu turned around and glanced at this group of people. The people from this group of aristocratic families nodded and bowed like a pug.

Liu Yu smiled contemptuously, these people are just outsiders, they will rely on whoever is strong, they have no benevolence, justice or morality.

"We should find a way to solve the problem of post-war recovery and supplies needed for subsequent wars." Liu Yu said to himself.

Chen Gong had followed Liu Yu for many years, and he immediately understood Liu Yu's thoughts. He understood that Liu Yu was going to slaughter the fat sheep, and said: "My lord, I don't think those people will let my lord down."

"Yes." Liu Yu nodded, then remembered that he had not seen Guo Tu and Feng Ji, and continued to ask: "Where are Gongze and Yuan Tu?"

"The two of them said not to show up for the time being," Chen Gong explained.

Liu Yu sighed. These two people were too cautious, but one day they would still have to disclose their identities. Liu Yu felt relieved when he thought about it.

Liu Yu and others came to the General's Mansion in the north of Ye City, which was Yuan Shao's former residence. Yuan Shao's wives, concubines, and daughters-in-law were also caught in one sweep, and they were all made dumplings by Liu Yu in this mansion.

Huang Zhong put these women under guard and waited for Liu Yu's arrangements.

Liu Yu came to the hall and sat down on the main seat. Guan Yu and Dian Wei stood in the two positions below Liu Yu. Liu Yu

The others also found a seat and sat down. Liu Yu looked at the people in brocade clothes as if they were fat sheep.

Huang Zhong and Chen Gong looked at each other. Chen Gong understood and stood up and said: "My lord, in addition to our generals and soldiers today, there are also celebrities and wise men in Jizhou who are here to congratulate your lord!"

"Oh, I have always been thirsty for talents, but I didn't know it was those celebrities and wise men." Liu Yu understood Chen Gong's meaning in an instant. His knife was ready and he started to slaughter the fat sheep.

These people from the aristocratic families glanced at Chen Gong gratefully, then quickly came to Liu Yu, knelt down and said: "I will pay my respects to the prince!"

"You all the wise men have come to see me, but what is the important matter?" Liu Yu said, pretending to be noble.

The head of the aristocratic family is confused. This is wrong. Shouldn't we be comforted by words? Why do we feel a little impatient?

"I have admired the majesty of the prince for a long time, and now I can see his true appearance. I am so lucky for the rest of my life."

"Yes, the prince's natural appearance is so outstanding that it makes people admire him."

"Your Majesty will surely rule the world and achieve unparalleled hegemony!"

The head of the aristocratic family didn't understand what Liu Yu meant, but they started to use flattering methods to deal with Yuan Shao, after all, they would not hit the smiling man with their hands.

"Okay, since you are here to see me. Now that you have seen it, you can go home." Liu Yu calmed down the family heads with one sentence.

The prince is unhappy. Could it be that they didn't do anything well?

Liu Yu changed the subject and said to Chen Gong: "Gongtai, last time I found out that someone in Jizhou actually sent private soldiers to help Yuan Shao deal with me, have all these people been found out?"

Chen Gong understood that Liu Yu was threatening these aristocratic families, so he said: "My lord, I am investigating this! I believe there will be results soon."

"Well, the investigation is clear. I have always been clear about grievances. I will never let a bad person go, nor will I wrongly accuse a good person!" Liu Yu said with a serious face.

The double act between Chen Gong and Liu Yu will make those who have shit on their bodies sweat. Especially the heads of the aristocratic families in Yecheng. They all sent troops and food to help Yuan Shao. Now that things are going well, Liu Yu wants to settle the score after the fall. What should I do?

ah.

"Gentlemen, I want to discuss a major military issue. If there is nothing else, you can go back first." Liu Yu's tone was very unkind.

This situation is still here, and the heads of the aristocratic families have been living in vain for so many years. They all nodded and bowed and left the hall.

After these family heads left, Dian Wei snorted coldly: "These wallflowers want to use the same method they used to deal with Yuan Shao to deal with my lord, but there is no way. Lord, I think we should cut down all these rubbish."

Guan Yu didn't speak, but his expression betrayed his heart.

"Haha, these people are still useful. Let's look for opportunities in the future. Gongtai, you know what to do!" This sentence is in line with Liu Yu's style.
Chapter completed!
