Taishi Ci deployed trebuchets, well rails, and Linchong, and chose to attack the city.

Zhending County is not as good as Nanpi, let alone compared with Yecheng.

As a result, stone bullets and fire oil cans fell down, the city was in a mess, and there were many fires in the city.

The archers on the well fence and Lin Chong kept firing arrows at the top of the city to suppress the defenders on the top of the city.

The county soldiers and township soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

Although Zhao Yun tried to lead his troops out of the city many times and destroyed the well railings, Linchong, and trebuchets, he was blocked by Tai Shici and was prevented from returning to the city.

"kill!"

"Kill!"

The newly formed death fighting battalion captured by Anping State and Qinghe County, driven by the supervising team, carried ladders and began to attack the city.

Zhao Yun was on the top of the city to help defend the city.

However, the disparity in strength was too great. , and the enemy's arrows were too dense.

Soon, a large number of soldiers from the Death Fighting Battalion boarded the city.

Zhao Yun stabbed more than ten people to death in succession, but more and more enemy troops boarded the city.

At this time, Zhending County Magistrate, The county captain, escorted by some county soldiers and various tribes, escaped from the west gate.

Zhending City was captured.

Facing a large number of enemy troops, Zhao Yun had no choice but to give up defending the city and escape on horseback.

As Zhending was captured, and Luancheng, Pingji, Gaoyi, Fangfang, Shangai, Jiumen, Puwu, Jingxing, Lingshou, Nanxingtang and other counties were also successively conquered by Taishi Ci. In

Changshan, only the county administration was left. The Yuan family has not yet been conquered.

However, Taishi Ci adopted Zhou Cheng's strategy of"fighting to support war". At the same time, he used the captured county soldiers and rural warriors to become the main force in the siege. The captured troops from various counties and counties Food and fodder are enough to supply the army.

……

After the beginning of spring, Zhou Cheng once again divided his troops and went to Nanpi.

At this time, there were only 20,000 cavalry remaining in the camp outside Yecheng.

However, even though there were only 20,000 people, Zhou Cheng still did not take Yuan Shao seriously.

Because Zhou Cheng knew that Yuan Shao did not dare to come out at all.

Jia Xu said:"My lord, General Taishi has surrounded the Yuan clan. If the Yuan clan is defeated, the Changshan Kingdom will also be in the hands of the lord."

Zhou Cheng said:"It's a matter of taking Jizhou into the exploration bag, but how to govern Jizhou is the key." The problem lies."

In the Han Dynasty, there were prefects and county lieutenants in the counties, who managed the subordinate counties, counties and county magistrates.

The county magistrate manages the townships under his jurisdiction. In the countryside, there are Youyou, Sanlao, Shifu and Youchi.

The three elders manage each pavilion, the pavilion has a pavilion chief to manage the subordinate li, and the li has a li chief.

Therefore, there is a huge shortage of officials.

Of course, Zhou Cheng could also continue to adopt a regiment of 100 people and a tune of 500 people, manage it according to the military system, and cooperate with supervision to solve the management problems at the grassroots level.

However, the core problem is still unresolved.

Zhou Cheng's talent pool was too small. Who could be the county magistrate? Who can be the governor?

These are not things that just one person can do.

Jia Xu frowned and said,"My lord, why don't you open a museum to recruit talents? It's like a death camp. Regardless of origin, as long as you have talents, you can try them out, and then select the best ones and entrust them with important tasks."

Zhou Cheng thought about it. Thinking about it, a flash of light suddenly flashed in my mind, and then he said:"According to the teacher's words, we will set up a recruiting hall and open subjects to recruit scholars. All talented people can enter the hall and provide food and clothing. If they are really talented and learned, they will be given If anyone interferes with the appointment, he will be killed."

Those who obey me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish.

Although the system of attacking local tyrants and dividing land cannot be explicitly implemented in Jizhou, it can still be done by killing those who are disobedient.

Moreover, except for the aristocratic and wealthy families in Jizhou who are still in Yecheng and Nanpi, the rest have either taken their clansmen and tribes to escape into the mountains, or crossed the river to go south and fled each other.

Jia Xu said:"My lord is wise."

……

In May 193 AD, Zhou Cheng had controlled most of the land in Jizhou.

Except for Yecheng and Nanpi, fighting in all parts of Youzhou has almost stopped.

In Ye City, Yuan Shao became increasingly anxious.

Nanpi was in a hurry.

After Taishi Ci captured the counties in Yecheng, Zhou Cheng ordered Taishi Ci to lead his army to cooperate with Xu Huang to surround Nanpi.

Gao Lan asked for help more than once, but Yuan Shao still did not dare to leave Yecheng easily.

Because Zhou Cheng still had 20,000 cavalry outside the city.

If troops and horses were sent to assist Nanpi, Yecheng might be lost.

Yuan Shao's indecisiveness became more apparent at the critical moment.

Jushou said:"My lord, Jizhou has been captured by moth thieves. The moth thieves hijacked the people and gathered in the city. They also set up recruitment halls to select talents regardless of their origins. If things go on like this, Jizhou may really fall into the hands of thieves."

Yuan Shaoyin wrote. Face, what can he do now?

Zhou Cheng was like an evil tiger, lying outside Ye City, waiting for Yuan Shao to leave the city.

Yuan Shao was trapped in Ye City, as if his hands and feet were tied, and it was difficult to do anything.

At this time, Feng Ji said:"Lord, if Jizhou falls into the hands of thieves, why not find another place?"

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, and then he asked Feng Ji to continue.

Feng Ji said:"My lord, there is no owner in Bingzhou. Why don't you take Bingzhou? And there are Huns who have joined the lord. My lord can mobilize the Huns' cavalry to fight against Zhou Cheng. If Zhou Cheng leads his army to pursue them, they can join forces with the left chariots and cavalry to destroy them together." That's it."

These words woke up Yuan Shao.

Huangfu Song was attacking Han Sui.

If Zhou Cheng dares to pursue him, Yuan Shao can still unite with Huangfu Song.

Tian Feng heard this and hurriedly persuaded:"My lord, no, it's easy to abandon Yecheng, but it's difficult to enter Yecheng again."
