Chapter 665: Zhai Rang Siege City
Zhai Rang's invitation to fight allowed him to occupy some fame in this siege of Taiyuan Mansion, after all, he was just a village owner on the top of a mountain, and it was already very face-saving to be able to show his face in front of many princes and generals.
When someone learned that Zhai Rang was once a Fa Cao, and later became a wanted criminal, his reputation suddenly fell, and as a person from the green forest, he was not treated by these people, and his reputation was hopeless.
The only way to set an example is to show results.
The city of Taiyuan Mansion is towering, much higher than the city wall here in Penglaicheng, and you can see that the city wall is full of archers from afar.
100,000 soldiers and horses surrounded the enemy outside Taiyuan Mansion, and the situation in the city was not very good, because the people of the Wang family in the city gathered a large number of disciples to go out and parade the streets.
The government sent officials to block it, but as a result, there were many people, and they did nothing at all.
"Father, the Wang family is demonstrating at the gate on the street, wanting us to open the city gate to welcome the enemy in." Li Jiancheng told the truth.
Afraid, Li Yuan lined up the account books in his hand directly on the table, his face full of anger.
"How can this be reasonable, these people from the Wang family took the opportunity to find them unhappy, and ordered them to go down and let the soldiers be dispatched to stop them, since the Wang family who took the lead took the initiative to provoke us, this time we can't connive at them."
Tang Guogong was ruthless in his heart, he was a person who knew how to measure himself, and when he was leading the city, there were still people who wanted to come to a combination of inside and outside, saying that scholars were misleading the country and wanted to use their prestige to achieve their goals, and they were too naïve.
Li Yuan understood in his heart.
Li Jiancheng did not stay, and immediately went out to arrange, there are many soldiers and horses in the city, and it is not easy to control the people who make trouble.
The lieutenant led more than 200 people to surround all the demonstrators who were outside the door.
Li Jiancheng saw that those people were controlled by the soldiers, and he no longer shouted any superfluous words, and all of them looked frightened.
"Fellow villagers, don't be easily bewitched by others, now that the soldiers are in the city, you don't want to end up ruined." Li Jiancheng said.
"Of course not." The bold man replied.
"Well, please believe that as long as our Li family is here, Taiyuan Mansion will be the same as before, it will get better and better, everyone has food to eat, everyone has new clothes, believe in our Li family, this is not an empty word, at this time, I hope you all calm down and don't be used by others to make trouble, go back first."
Li Jiancheng persuaded while paying attention to the people in the team.
Soon I saw that there were many fresh faces in the crowd, and although Li Jiancheng always stayed in the barracks in Taiyuan Mansion, he usually patrolled the streets.
Although I can't say that I know the whole city, I know everyone who has been patrolling for a long time.
It is said that it is a raw face because some people are just different from other people, some people have anger, and some people always give people a bad feeling.
In this way, it is not difficult to find those who feel particularly good.
"Someone, bring that person over there, and the ...... over there"
Li Jiancheng pointed out, and every time he nodded a person's head, someone would go over and bring people out, and when he was close to some people, the other party's demeanor was particularly obvious.
At a glance, you can see whether the other party is weak-hearted.
"What are you doing, why do you want to arrest people for no reason?" The family sent by the Wang family asked.
"This has nothing to do with you, now that all the people from your family are scattered, you don't think that you can compete with the Li family with this little one."
Li Jiancheng said in front of the people of the Wang family, without any panic.
The people of the Wang family wanted to lead the rhythm, but they never thought that there was no such opportunity at all, Li Jiancheng's strength was always reminding them not to make trouble, and the consequences were unbearable for them.
The people of the Wang family are also smart people, although they are stubborn, but the current situation is like this, no one really guarantees that the Li family will not be ruthless to meet them, after all, the Li family has heavy soldiers, and they can't bear a thought if they really want it.
The advantage of the scholars is that they can see the form clearly, and now they are surrounded by soldiers, and they are already in danger, and the scholars often say that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, how can these people who think very highly of themselves not understand.
Seeing that they can no longer fool others, they can only give up, for them, those who know the times are Junjie, and they want to be Junjie instead of stupid people.
"Now that the soldiers and horses of the Sui State are coming to the city, we are also extremely scared in our hearts, the people in the city are facing danger to their lives, before making a decision, I hope that your Li family can think of the people in the city, and don't insist on going your own way." The people of the Wang family are all able to speak well, and they have not forgotten to think about problems from the standpoint of the people at a critical time.
Everyone who listened was grateful, even if they didn't understand what was going on, they would be grateful to the Wang family for still thinking about the people at this time.
Li Jiancheng has no way to see this kind of thing, and now that the Li family is on the opposite side of the Sui State, it is not bad that the people have not really made trouble at this time.
Call in the guards and let people watch these people directly and dismiss them.
With the captain leading the team and the efforts of more than 200 soldiers, a small turmoil was resolved, and the person who had just been pointed out was brought back for interrogation.
The Wang family's agitation is on the surface, even the Li family has no way to take them.
can only get by, I believe that the Li family's tough attitude can make the people of the Wang family stop for a while.
Just when he was about to be dismissed, someone suddenly came to report the news, and when he saw the eldest son of the Li family coming at the door, he immediately said: "General Li, the enemy is attacking the city, please send reinforcements to the general." ”
After hearing this, Li Jiancheng immediately returned to the Li Mansion.
The people who were about to leave all looked nervous when they heard this, and what they were most afraid of was that they would be caught in the middle of a war, and they didn't need the soldiers on the side to drive them away again, and everyone scattered in a few breaths.
Under the city wall, Zhai Rang really regretted being a pioneer at this time, isn't this staring at the enemy's archers to death.
I have to say that their courage is commendable, but the equipment is too bad, many people have no shield to defend themselves, and they lost a lot of people just after rushing the first wave, and there are some archers but the number is not very large.
Fortunately, most of the archers are hunters, and it is still enough, and there are not many losses on both sides, which is not to say that the archers of the Li family are not powerful.
Instead, Zhai Rang knew that he was at a disadvantage in fighting against the archers, so he could only lead people to charge down the city quickly, and soon basically stuck his feet at the base of the city wall.
The archers on the walls had to lean out at the battlements to hit the people under the walls, otherwise they wouldn't be able to hit, and the archers knew that if they did poke their heads out, there was a good chance that they would be shot by the enemy archers.
No one can be so stupid.
