Chapter 124 Outsmarting Yuyang
Xiangyang City was captured by Chu Fan and his men within a few seconds.

Here I must thank the old iron Yan Tingyu for the gift.

Although there is still a long way to go from Xiangyang to the capital city Ji, nearly 50 troops have already returned to Yan Tingyu's side.

But most people already know that Yan Tingyu's rule has completely collapsed.

Emphasis on civilian officials, reducing the strength of military officers, and strengthening centralization of power are originally a good thing.If it goes smoothly, it might bring a few more years of luck to Yan Tingyu's rule.

But Yan Tingyu forgot one thing.Before those civil servants took office, their abilities were not tested at all.

For hundreds of years, Great Yan State has emphasized martial arts over culture, which has resulted in the country's civil servants being squeezed all the time.The imperial examination system, which is used by all countries, is completely resisted in this country of Great Yan.

The selection of civil servants is entirely recommended by the officials in court.A group of "second-generation officials" who didn't know much Chinese characters were selected to take over the foundation laid down by their parents.

Anyway, the emperor discussed things with the military generals. We civil servants just came to make soy sauce, sign in, and then go home for dinner.

This also led to the fact that most of the civil servants in the court of Yan State at this time were a group of paper talkers.Some can't even do it on paper.

They were also very confused when Yan Tingyu handed over the important tasks of the country to the civil servants.

Today is just an ordinary day, and I haven't seen any visions from the sky. I just came to punch a card and go back to get off work to make my wife and children warm.Suddenly you said that you want me to control the power of the country?

Are you kidding me?My dad didn't teach me what to do if something like this happened.

Do you want me to send you some information to ask?

The soldiers in the audience seemed to have drawn their knives, and the emperor on the stage narrowed his eyes slightly, it seemed that he was on the verge of killing.

Why, co-author, do you think we are unwilling to do things for you because you are dying?
We really won't!

A group of civil servants looked at each other.They are all waiting for an early bird.

As the head of half of the civil servants, the prime minister had no choice but to stand up and find a place for his younger brothers.

With a humble job, I must do my best to fulfill the emperor's will, so I took over this monstrous task.

Although he had been on the battlefield and the prime minister barely entered the sight of those generals, this high official's job was not satisfactory. Generals with a little status could step on his head and call him "old immortal".

Can the prime minister punt a boat in his stomach?Bah, it's all lies!

No one will count money for others after being scolded for so long.

That is to say, I couldn't find a chance to deal with you before!Now that the emperor has handed over the power to our civil servants, how can you have a good life as generals?

Go dream!

Our Dayan civil servants are about to rise!
You lack arrows in Xiangping, right? I won't send them to you.I have to give your arrow to Yuyang.

What, what can you do with me?

You Yuyang is short of soldiers and horses?
Then I will hide it and not report it, and I will wait for you to lose the battle before going to the emperor to convict you.All state affairs are based on how I am happy.Anyway, I don't know how to do the rest, so I might as well enjoy it now.

Poor Yan Tingyu really thought that these civil servants were helping him, and he had to praise them every day when he went to court.The power and responsibility of military generals were further weakened, and military generals below the third rank were no longer qualified to go to court.

At the border at this time, countless Yan soldiers are still fighting bloody battles, but what they don't know is that they won't get anything in return for everything they give.

The messengers asking for help were turned away one after another, and there were not many people left in Yuyang City.

After Jianzong captured Xiangping City, he rested there. After all, Yan Tingyun had to do it himself.

Seeing that Yuyang hadn't been captured for a long time, Yan Tingyun also became angry.

Although the city wall is not tall enough, the surrounding area of ​​Yuyang City is very steep.There are many high mountains and dense trees, which are easy to defend but difficult to attack.

It simply cannot accommodate too many soldiers to attack.

As a result, Yan Tingyun can only use tens of thousands of troops to besiege the city each time, but nearly [-] Yan troops are resisting on the city wall.

For some time, this Yuyang has been like a super hard bone to crack. Even if the Bai family army tries every means to gnaw it for a short period of time, it cannot be conquered.

Outside the city gate, the Bai family army camp, Yan Tingyun, Guan Yu and other generals sat around a table.

"Master has already breached Xiangping, but our side has not made any progress. What should we do?" After all, Yan Tingyun has a childish temper. If he can't beat him, he can only ask the great gods around him for help.

"If you want me to say, just move all the cannons in your hands to the front line, and blast the **** wave together!" Zhang Fei patted the table and stood up.

"Then what shall we use to attack the imperial city?" Second Master Guan stopped his sworn brother in time.

"Then what should we do? Let our group of people stay here forever! Boss only has 50 soldiers and horses, can he go to fight against the imperial city?" The third master has been holding back his stomach recently, and took the lead in charging a few times. Can't beat it at all.

Everyone was silent.If the army in Chu Fan's hands went to attack the capital, there might not be many left.

"Report!" Just as everyone was silent, a soldier suddenly broke in.

"How decent is it to panic!" a general of the Bai family army reprimanded.

"Report to the generals, we have captured a hunter in Yuyang City," the soldier quickly replied.

"I said a long time ago that no innocent people should be harmed wherever I go. What are you doing!" Yan Tingyun slapped the table and stood up.

The second master caught the meaning of the soldier's words.

"How did he get out?" the second master asked quickly.

You know, in order to prevent spies from the Bai family army from sneaking into the city, Yuyang City has long been closed off. It is impossible for farmers to come out at the moment.

"Bring people here!" Yan Tingyun also sensed the problem.

After a while, a person dressed as an Orion was pushed in by the Bai family army.

Yan Tingyun personally untied him from the ropes that bound him.

"I don't know the severity, please don't be angry." Yan Tingyun personally helped him to the seat, and served him good wine and tea.

It was night, outside Yuyang City, [-] Bai family troops fought at night with lamplights on.

The shouts resounded throughout Yuyang City.

One hundred thousand troops went up to the city tower neatly.Since the start of the offensive, both sides have consciously refrained from fighting at night. Except for the guarding soldiers, the rest of the soldiers can also have a good rest at night.

"No, did I say that your heads are twitching?" The guard of Yuyang City Tower rubbed his eyes.

"Do you dare to have a hearty fight with your grandpa?" The third master downstairs finally had a good time.Today I have to keep shouting cool.

"Get out, don't disturb our sleep!" As he said that, the guard was going to make a gesture to go downstairs.

It seems that he didn't take our third master seriously.

Then there is nothing to say.

Thousands of arrows were fired, and the Bai family army even tied kerosene to the arrows.

The defenders on the tower looked at it, why are you playing for real today!Then let’s have some fun with you!

So the city tower began to fight back.

After fighting for a long time, I suddenly found that there was a fire coming out from behind me, and a group of people rushed over shouting and killing.

There were not many guards on the city gate, and the Bai family army took care of them all.

The third master's army also entered the city.

On the hill outside the door, flames were everywhere, and countless Bai family troops rushed in like a tide.
