"Hu Lin and Chen Hao ran away!!"

At noon of sunrise, under the direct rays of the sun, it was the time when people were sleepy and tired, just after the first round of attacks of the Hanzhong army... A huge riot suddenly broke out in Lantian City.

I saw the soldiers at the city gates, the people, the wealthy merchants... made a mess and fled to the north of the city with his family.

Hu Lin was naturally referring to the Lantian County Order, and after being "convinced" by Chen Hao, Hu Lin finally made up his mind to give up. After briefly packing up the gold and jade in the house with Chen Hao, he took hundreds of elites... In the desperate eyes of the soldiers at the North Gate, they escaped from the North Gate without any attachment.

"Hu Lin, this bastard, the old man must kill him personally."

In a beautifully decorated courtyard in the west of the city, a short and fat man in his fifties, dressed in silk... Zhou's body was covered with gold beads and jade chains, and at this moment, he was looking at one of the guards below and cursing viciously.

A few hours ago, Hu Lin took Chen Hao and came to his mansion on purpose, vowing to live and die with Lantian City and protect the safety of their warrior merchants. After all, most of the industries in this Lantian are in this Lantian area, so all the 300 private soldiers raised in the house were handed over to Hu Lin and Chen Hao.

Unexpectedly... The reality really slapped him hard, Hu Lin and Chen Hao... and they were regarded as outcasts.

"Sir... We, Hu County's order is gone, what should we do! ”

Hearing the guard's words, the wives and concubines surrounding the wealthy businessmen suddenly made a mess, and they fought with knives... The scholars may be safe, but these merchants, who have no soldiers and no power, only money and silver, are definitely the best fat sheep in the eyes of those soldiers.

"What's the panic? What are you panicking about!! ”

"I'm still here, sir! I'm not dead yet! ”

Listening to the sound of chirping and crying, the rich businessman's expression sank, and he couldn't help but roar.

"Someone! Send people to Zhang's Mansion, Wei's Mansion, Zheng's Mansion... Tell them, master, I want to leave Lantian, the foundation of Lantian... Don't want it, sir! If they don't want to become the sword ghosts of the Hanzhong army, they will meet with the master and me at the north gate after half an hour. ”

"You guys, don't stick around here. Go and collect everything that can be taken from the house and put it on the carriage for me. ”

Looking at the wives and concubines beside him gritting their teeth... The pear blossom with the appearance of rain, the rich merchant grabbed the jade bead in his hand and commanded in a deep voice.

……

"Shizi, listen... There seems to be something going on in Lantian City! ”

Outside Lantian City, Yang Rengang led the army to withdraw from the city, and heard a commotion from inside the city... His expression moved, and he hurriedly came to Zhang Yong to report.

"Let's go, come up and have a look."

Looking at the Blue Sky City not far away, Zhang Yong waved his horse whip in his hand, took Yang Ren and Meng Qiu, led dozens of cavalry, and rushed to the city.

……

"Qin County Cheng... Hu Lin and Chen Hao have both run away, what should we do...? ”

"County Cheng, this... Why don't we run too? Those of us who... How could it be possible to block so many enemy troops outside the main city! ”

The shouts of the city are gradually reaching out... The soldiers guarding the south gate naturally listened to it clearly.

As a key point to deal with the Hanzhong army, and also to delay the Hanzhong army and buy time for themselves to escape, Hu Lin and Chen Hao arranged nearly 2,000 soldiers and horses at the south gate.

After Hu Lin and Chen Hao left, in Lantian City... can be in charge, and only the county Cheng Qin Wen is left.

"Ladies and gentlemen... Be quiet! Please be still! ”

Fear, restlessness, fear, numbness... 's eyes, Qin Wen secretly sighed.

Don't say that these soldiers and horses are cobbled together, even he... I never thought that Hu Lin and Chen Hao would run away without a fight, and they fled so simply.

Now that the north gate is wide open, the people in Lantian City will continue to flee from the north gate because of the fear in their hearts.

At this time, is Lantian City still worth guarding?

As long as the Hanzhong army outside the city senses the clue and sends out a part of the men and horses to attack the north gate, this Lantian City... It won't survive tonight.

"Shut up! Listen to the county! ”

Looking at the chaotic crowd, I saw a military marquis draw out the long blade in his hand and stand beside Qin Wen with a gloomy expression.

This military marquis's name is Guo Kai, and he was originally Chen Hao's cronies... It is quite reused by Chen Hao, but... What Guo Kai didn't expect was that Chen Hao would fly alone at the end of the catastrophe, disappointing his sincerity.

Taken by Guo Kai's majesty, the city tower gradually quieted down, whether it was the soldiers of Lantian City, or the servants and private soldiers of those wealthy merchants of the scholar clan, they all set their eyes on Qin Wen at this moment... Secretly with a little hope.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Your thoughts... Qin is clear! But at this moment, the Hanzhong army is outside the city, Hu Lin and Chen Hao, the two bastards, since they treat us as outcasts... Then this Lantian City, don't defend it! ”

"It's just... Hu Lin and Chen Hao go first, if we abandon the city, we still can't avoid being caught up by the Hanzhong army, for the sake of the moment... I want to open the city gate and welcome the Han Chinese army into the city? I don't know what you think? ”

If you want to escape... With Qin Wen's status and status, he can naturally find one or two war horses, but... He fled, what should the wife and children in the house do?

His child... It's just a full moon, how can you stand this kind of bump?

If the superior official is not benevolent, what is the meaning of the lower official?

"Qin Xiancheng is reasonable... We obeyed the orders of the county magistrate, opened the city gate, and welcomed the Hanzhong army into the city! ”

Leaving aside the sergeants, who accounted for a third of the soldiers, the private soldiers and slaves who accounted for most of the half knew in their hearts that they would stay... As long as you cling to Qin Wen's flagpole, if you're lucky... Maybe you can mix up your identity, if you abandon the city and flee north... Even if he escaped the pursuit of the Hanzhong army, he could not avoid the end of being continued to be enslaved by those noble merchants.

"Since... You have no objections, and listen to my orders... Discard the door and open the door. ”

At the moment when Qin Wen's words fell, the city and the city... The sound of discarding weapons rang non-stop, and when Zhang Yong, Yang Ren, and Meng Qiu arrived at the city, the heavy gate of Lantian City... It's slowly opening.

"Shizi! Something is not right... Be careful. ”

Looking at the hundreds of bare-fisted and empty-handed sergeants pouring out of the left and right of the city gate, Yang Ren's expression was slightly gloomy, and he stopped sideways in front of Zhang Yong.

"Cheng Qinwen of Lantian City County, with 2,000 soldiers from the South Gate... Surrender to the generals! ”

The sergeant in front dispersed, Qin Wen looked at Zhang Yong and his party not far away alone, took a deep breath, and walked forward slowly... At a distance of three zhang from Zhang Yong, he lowered his head and knelt deeply.

With Qin Wen's kneeling, the soldiers at the south gate of Lantian City... Then he knelt on the ground and shouted for surrender.

"Qin Wen! Lantian County? ”

Pushing Yang Ren away, Zhang Yonglema took a few steps forward, next to Qin Wen, who bowed his head.

"Yes!"

Lowering his head, Qin Wen replied in a deep voice.

Don't talk about panic, don't talk about calm.

"Look up and answer! What happened in the city? Why is it so noisy? And also... Why did you wait for Kaesong to surrender? It's greed for life and fear of death... Or for another reason. ”

Qin Wen's age doesn't look very big, at most twenty-four or five, at this age can he mix with the position of the county prince, or... This Qin Wen has a certain background, or... is that Qin Wen does have a certain amount of real talent.

"The county ordered Hu Lin and the guard Chen Hao to abandon the city and flee north, and now the city sergeants, people, wealthy businessmen are all going north... Lantian City can't stand it! ”

"As for... The reason why he surrendered is because there are still fathers, elders, wives and children in the Xiaguan family... Can't leave! ”

Raising his head and looking up at Zhang Yong beside him, Qin Wen's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of surprise.

This Hanzhong general... It's just too young.

At such an age, he can lead an army of nearly 10,000... This kind of thing is in the Cao family... It's also rare.

"I see! I am Zhang Yong, the son of Hanzhong... I have granted your request! ”

Looking at Lantian City in front of him, Zhang Yong's eyes flashed with a hint of understanding.

"Qin Wen, get up! For your decision, from today onwards... You are the county magistrate of this Lantian City! ”

"It's... How can the lower officials be virtuous..."

Hearing Zhang Yong's words, Qin Wen trembled and said with a little apprehension.

On the ruling side, he did not think that what he had thought in the past would be realized in such a situation.

"You don't want to? If you don't want to... When I get into town, I can come with someone else! ”

Afraid that Zhang Yong would regret it temporarily, Qin Wen hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.

"Shizi! The county commander and guard general of Lantian must have never gone far, and the last general asked for orders to lead a team of elite cavalry to capture them all. ”

Carefully reviewing the damage of the first round of siege, Yang Ren looked at Zhang Yong's figure from behind, and his eyes gradually became a little more bright.

At this moment, Yang Ren seemed to remember some rumors he had heard in Nanzheng City.

Destiny!

Throughout the past ten years in Hanzhong, that expansion was not covered with blood and bones.

Can... Since Zhang Yong joined the army, the seven counties of Brazil, Fangling, and Nanxiang... Coupled with the Lantian in front of him, isn't that time a sure victory?

Everywhere you go, there are countless descendants?

"Hu Lin and Chen Hao, people who fled from the battle, are not worth mentioning! But... The money, grain, and treasures that those wealthy merchants of the noble clan took away when they fled can't be wasted like this, and our army has just entered the customs... Urgently need food and grass baggage, these things... It can be used as military funds. ”

In the north of Guanzhong, Zhang Yong held the strategy of fighting to feed the war, and the road from Hanzhong to Guanzhong was long, and if the grain and grass were transported from Hanzhong, it would definitely cost a lot.

The battlefield in Guanzhong... With Xiliang here, the Zhang family in Hanzhong is not destined to become the protagonist.

This self-sacrificing behavior... Zhang Yong naturally couldn't do it.

"Rest assured, the last general will definitely not let these brave people take away a penny from this Lantian City!"

With a long laugh, Yang Ren arched his hand towards Zhang Yong, pulled the horse and returned.

It didn't take long for a puff of smoke and dust to roll behind him, and hundreds of elite horsemen bypassed Lantian City and chased north.

"The order goes down, the army enters the city, and the soldiers return to the sheath... Don't disturb the people! ”

About two quarters of an hour, after the forward battalion entered the city, the Chinese army moved with it, and tens of thousands of troops poured into Lantian like a tide.

After the army entered the city, the riots in Lantian City naturally subsided, and those scholars, wealthy merchants, and common people who had not come and fled... I had to look at the north gate with a desperate face, sighing in vain, and secretly praying to the Hanzhong army... Don't be like the thieves in Xiliang, brutal and unkind, forcibly taking and plundering, no grass grows everywhere you go, and you don't hear the rooster crow.
