When Liu Yu led more than 7,000 Qingzhou troops and more than 10,000 poor people to arrive near Fenggao, he finally waited for the messenger sent by Dong Ping.

At this time, Dong Ping had occupied the two cities of Juping and Liangfu in Taishan County, and had just controlled Yangguan in Taishan County.

As long as Yangguan is in hand, the road to Taishan County will be completely in Liu Yu's pocket.

"Okay, go back and tell Dong Ping, let him leave a group of troops to guard Yangguan, and lead other people to meet with me as soon as possible."

Liu expected that Dong Ping would join forces with him quickly, so that Liu Yu's soldiers could reach 10,000.

The reason why so many Qingzhou soldiers were needed is not that the enemy of this battle, the Taishan Goat clan was so powerful. At this time, the Yang clan left only a few 5,000 troops in Taishan County. In addition, the remaining servant Dingkou would not exceed 10,000 at most. Among them, the troops that could truly be called the combat power level of county soldiers would not exceed 2,000 at most.

As long as Yangguan and Liang's father in Taishan County are in the hands of the Qingzhou army, the remaining people are just turtles in the jar, and it is only a matter of time to deal with them.

What Liu Yu really cares about is that there are more and more refugees in Taishan County. As Liu Yu's Qingzhou army recently entered Taishan County with a strong attitude, more and more poor and helpless refugees began to surrender, and almost a thousand people were accepted every day.

So many refugees are increasingly in need of strong management, and it is far from enough to rely solely on the 7,000 people in Liu Yu's hands.

Therefore, Liu Yu needed Dong Ping to lead the army to pick up the refugees, so that these refugees could be diverted to Jinan County. The land resources in Jinan County were more abundant than those in Taishan County, and Liu Yu did not intend to touch the interests of the powerful people of Taishan County for the time being. In this way, it would be almost impossible for Taishan County to have excess flat land to resettle refugees.

Taishan County, Fenggao City.

In the prefect's mansion, Zhang Yu, the governor of Taishan County, was pacing back and forth in the hall with a gloomy face, with an anxious and panic on his face unconcealed.

"Mr., don't be impatient. This time, the massacre of Tian Ke from Qingzhou Army was not your instruction, but the slaves of the Yang clan. The Qingzhou Army is here to seek revenge on Yang clan. The one who should be unlucky is Yang Dan from Yang clan. The Duke doesn't have to be so nervous."

Seeing this, a steward persuaded him with conscious comfort.

Hearing this, Zhang Yu rolled his eyes wide, and his depression finally had some point of venting.

"No childish children will think so. Will your books be read in the belly of a dog? The ambition of Liu Yu of Qingzhou is already well known. He is a thief in Donglai County. Can he become a loyal minister and righteous man? This time he invaded my Taishan County, just taking the opportunity to seize territory. Even if he dealt with the Yang clan, he would not let me go as the governor of a county easily."

"But, the person who killed Tian Ke from Qingzhou's army was indeed not a county soldier, but a slave of the Yang family." The servant was still a little aggrieved.

"People say they are county soldiers just to have excuses. If you say no, then it's not. If this matter is reasonable, can I still be anxious like this?!"

"Cousin, the Qingzhou thief army outside kept saying that they wanted to lead the mud-legged men, saying that they wanted to kill sheep and eat meat, and they wanted to settle the score with the Yang family."

"Fuck, this is just a mess with those stupid villagers. If you really kill the Yang clan, you should go to Nancheng and go south. How could you siege Fenggao?"

Zhang Yu was even more annoyed by this.

Although the Taishan Goat family has fields and goods stores all over Taishan County, the foundation of the Yang family is far away in Nancheng County, near Xuzhou, and not in Fenggao.

"Since that's the case, then go and find Yang Dan. As the Yang clan, he can't ignore what he has done by himself."

"You are really a pig-brained person. If your aunt hadn't pleaded with you, how could I let you be a lieutenant? Use your pig-brain to think about it carefully. What kind of person is Yang and what kind of person is Yang Dan? Let me talk about this and you will not be beaten out by sticks."

Zhang Yu was really unable to complain about his cousin who was his subordinate.

When Zhang Yu heard that Dong Ping's troops of Qingzhou Army invaded Taishan County, he secretly visited Yang Dan. Unexpectedly, when he talked about this, Zhang Yu was immediately driven out by Yang Dan. Yang Dan felt that his family was a top-notch sect and there was another Empress Xianhui in the clan. Even if the Qingzhou thief was killed, it was just a matter of indulgence by the servants below. As long as Zhang Yu, the governor of Taishan County, came forward to compensate a hundred pieces of cloth, the matter would be over. After all, Liu Yu, the Qingzhou Army, could not offend the Yang family, the wealthy family of the gentry for a few Tian Ke, who were worthless. In that case, he would not take the upper-ranking gentry family seriously.

Therefore, Zhang Yu, the governor of Taishan County, sent someone to meet Dong Ping and negotiate compensation matters, but unexpectedly, Dong Ping did not mention this matter. Instead, he repeatedly said that it was the governor of the county, Zhang Yu, who instructed the county soldiers. As for the reason, of course, he said a lot of things in vain.

By this time, Zhang Yu had already understood that this group of Qingzhou troops just wanted to use this matter as an excuse to annex Taishan County.

Zhang Yu, who had just understood, was thinking about whether to summon county troops to resist or abandon the city and flee back to his hometown in Xuzhou. Before he had made a decision, news came that a Qingzhou army had entered the country from Langya, and Dong Ping, who had been stationed in the western border, also quickly marched to capture Yangguan.

In this way, the two routes planned by Zhang Yu were completely blocked.

At this time, Zhang Yu seemed to be able to firmly decide to resist the city, but Zhang Yu knew that the Qingzhou army had defeated the Hulu and the refugees' achievements were irresistible with the current weak thousands of county soldiers.

Therefore, in almost despair, Zhang Yu secretly sent someone to the Qingzhou military camp, thinking of secretly raising the city to surrender to Liu Yu. At least in this way, his wealth and life can be saved.

What Zhang Yu was anxiously waiting for at this time was exactly this time.

Finally, two hours later, the secret envoy sent by Zhang Yu finally came back.

"Mr. Fu, Liu Yu has agreed to Mr. Fu's request."

The reply brought back by the secret envoy made Zhang Yu happy in the letter, so that he would not have any worries about his life.

"However, after Liu Yu said that the Lord of the Mansion will no longer be the governor of Taishan County."

Zhang Yu was not surprised at all when he heard this request.

"Of course, after this, I want to go home to retire."

Zhang Yu no longer had any nostalgia for the position of the governor of Taishan County. When he was in office, facing a wealthy family like the Taishan Goat family, he was a child of an ordinary gentry who was just a vengeance. He was still close to the fierce bandits of the Qingzhou Army, so he would return to his hometown in Donghai County, Xuzhou to retire early.

"There are other requirements, Mr. Gong." The secret envoy sent by Zhang Yu continued hesitantly.

What other requirements?

Zhang Yu didn't quite understand. In this Taishan County, he was just a bare-headed county magistrate, and he could still ask for something from him?

"Then Liu Yu has any other requirements, come on."

"Liu Yu said that he also asked the Duke to find a way to open a city gate to connect Qingzhou troops into the city."

Hearing this, Zhang Yu was shocked.

"Ah?! How can this happen?"

"But Liu Yu said that if the Fujun could not even do this, after the Fenggao City was captured, the Fujun would not be able to surrender."

Zhang Yu secretly complained in his heart. At this time, the Yang clan and other major tribes had already controlled the city defense in Fenggao City. Even the county soldiers and generals under Zhang Yu were mostly children of each family. Zhang Yu could only barely directly under the army, and there were only two or three hundred soldiers in the county magistrate's mansion.

What he originally thought was to beg for mercy to Liu Yu early and to save his life after the city was broken.

I really didn't expect that there was no such cheap thing at all.

If he wants to surrender, he must have some skills and contributions. Otherwise, even those hateful Qingzhou thieves would not accept the surrender.

After hearing this head-twitching request, Zhang Yu immediately fell into deep thought.

He initially thought that opening the door to face the enemy was a big risk. If he failed, he would probably have been cut into meat sauce by the powerful Yang family in the city.

But if he did not agree to Liu Yu, after the city was broken, Zhang Yu would be just a scattered official without any foundation and would probably take the blame, and the powerful people in the city would not have any worries about their lives.

Finally, Zhang Yu made up his mind and said to the most trusted confidant in front of him.

"You go and call Zhang Hun, Gong Yan and others."

After hearing this, the confidant immediately got up and was about to go out.

After walking two steps, Zhang Yu, who was behind him, called again.

"Wait, be sure to be quietly and don't let others know."

The confidant replied immediately.

"Don't worry, I will definitely be quietly and will never let others discover it."

Luoyang, Taifu Mansion.

Sima Yue, the King of Donghai, read the letter in his hand from beginning to end, and then his face immediately turned red with anger, and threw the letter in his hand hard on the ground.

"Shuzi! The wolf's ambition!" Sima Yue cursed.

The officials who were attending the left and right were all silent. As the situation got worse and worse, the powerful Taifu Donghai King, often got furious, and his subordinates were repeatedly angry.

"Master, why are you so angry?" asked a more talkative confidant immediately.

Sima Yue rubbed his temples covered with white hair and said with his eyes closed.

"Taishan County was occupied by Liu Yu. The county magistrate Zhang Yu secretly opened the city gate to meet the enemy. Yang Dan in the city fled and fled to Mount Tai."

King Donghai has always been more at ease with Zhang Yu, who once served as an official in his Donghai Palace. He always felt that he was an ordinary scholar who could be promoted to serve as a county magistrate by himself. He really didn't expect to do such a thing as scammer.

As for the powerful Yang Dan of Mount Tai, Sima Yue did not expect that he could be so useless. In just over a month, the entire Taishan County was completely lost.

The confidant was also a little surprised that Taishan County was robbed so much.

"King, then the Xuzhou army that had sent rescuers had been sent out without success?"

After learning that the Qingzhou thief Liu Yu attacked Dongguan and Taishan County again, the Taifu Sima Yue sent an envoy to threaten Liu Yu, while sending someone to order Xuzhou Governor Pei Dun to send troops to rescue Taishan County.

"Hmph, Pei Dun is incompetent, his Xuzhou soldiers are still stationed in Nancheng at this time, and they have never taken any further steps in just ten days."

Sima Yue said angrily.

Pei Dun, who was defeated by the Qingzhou army, led his reorganized Xuzhou soldiers to head north after receiving the order from Sima Yue. After arriving at Nancheng County, the southernmost tip of Taishan County, he refused to move forward. He either said that there was no food or grass or that there were bandits in the south city obstructing the road.

Sima Yue knew that half of the reason at this time was because Pei Dun, the governor of Xuzhou, was afraid of the enemy and dared not advance. Another half of the reason was that Nancheng was the original sect of Taishanyang clan. Although Yang Dan was Feng Gao as his shadow county magistrate, the root of Yang clan was still in Nancheng.

"It's broken, it's broken. In this way, will Liu Yu in Qingzhou become a big trouble? Although he is called Jin Chen, isn't it like those who slaughter the Hu Hu in Bingzhou?"

The words of this lieutenant were immediately approved by the rest of the people. Liu Yu of Qingzhou arbitrarily conquered neighboring prefectures and counties, expelled the imperial court's official positions, and appointed prefectures and counties by himself. These were all considered usurpation and rebellion.

How could Sima Yue not know about these? It was just that before, due to the strength in his hands, he could only use some semi-light and half-dark means, but after repeated failures, the power of the Qingzhou Army became stronger and stronger.

The thieves in Qingzhou nowadays have not only Qingzhou, but also Jibei County, Taishan County, Dongguan County and Langya County. This was just the case when Qi State was in full swing.

Although Liu Yu has never really done anything, what he did was, for the Jin court and Sima Yue, it was no different from the Bingzhou Xiongnu Han Dynasty.

"Come here, go and invite Wang Situ and Xun Sikong for me."

Afterwards, Sima Yue said a series of names of important officials in the court and sent someone to invite them one by one.

Soon, a group of important officials and generals led by Situ Wang Yan and Sikong Xunfan all went to Sima Yue's mansion to discuss matters.

After hearing what Sima Yue said, everyone agreed that at this time, Liu Yu in Qingzhou had become an uncontrollable semi-public enemy.

"King, what Liu Yu did, he no longer took the imperial court, nor did he take the king seriously. If this continues, wouldn't this Xuzhou and Yanzhou be eaten up by him?" Pan Tao, an important confidant, immediately said in anger.
