Chapter 245: The Massacre Begins in CD City
While the two were chatting, fires suddenly broke out in many places in the city. At the same time, the sound of countless bows and arrows breaking through the air, the sound of swords clashing with scandium, and the shouts of battle resounded everywhere.
It seemed that in just a moment, the quiet and peaceful night in Chengdu was instantly enveloped in the smell of blood.
The eyes of Wu Yi and Zhang Ren, who were chatting, were suddenly attracted by the turmoil in the city.
"It looks like Your Majesty has already done it." Looking at the raging fires that lit out of the mansions of the major families in the city, Wu Yi muttered.
"Where did Your Majesty get so many troops?" Zhang Ren was puzzled.
He could see at a glance the scale of the unrest in the city, which would not have been possible without the participation of more than 20,000 people. But if Liu Yan really had so many troops in his hands, wouldn't it be better to hand them over to him to command? Chengdu City can hold out for at least another month or two, and then it will be up to Huang Zhong to withdraw his troops.
"Most of Yizhou has already fallen into the hands of Yuan Shu, and I will only be dying for a few more months. What's more, these people are not soldiers under the lord's command at all. ”
Hearing the meaning of Zhang Ren's words, Wu Yi said calmly. He is still relatively clear about Liu Yan's methods. After all, Wu Yi's father and Liu Yan were friends back then, and they knew all the secrets they should know.
"And who are these people?" Zhang Ren said curiously.
"These are the rangers in the city, the people who have been bullied by the family for a long time, and the death row prisoners in Chengdu."
"Death row inmates? But haven't they all been sent into battle? ”
Long before Huang Zhong's army arrived at the city of Chengdu, Liu Yan had already pulled out all the death row prisoners in the city to stand up for his own army, but this army should have been wiped out by Huang Zhong along with the family army outside the city!
Wu Yi shook his head: "Of the more than 18,000 death row prisoners, there are actually only more than 8,000 who were sent out of the city, disguised as an army of 18,000. After all, this army is an independent army, directly managed by His Majesty's henchmen, and the family has not found out at all. And His Majesty secretly left a full 10,000 death row prisoners hidden near the mansions of various families in the city, ready to launch a riot at any time! ”
Zhang Ren was still incredulous: "Can these death row prisoners be so obedient? Won't they report to the family? ”
Wu Yi sighed: "As early as when he first came to Yizhou, His Majesty was secretly recruiting rangers. Today, most of the rangers in Chengdu are the lord's people. Under their control, these death row inmates will not come easily. ”
What's more, the group of death row prisoners who were picked out were all in prison because of the disaster of the family, and their hatred for the family was very deep. The lord had promised to pardon them if they succeeded, and to give them the status of a pawn, so naturally not many people would resist. ”
"There are only a thousand rangers under the real control of the lord, and the main force of this turmoil is those people and death row prisoners who have a deep hatred for the family. So general, you should understand! ”
Liu Yan's methods are actually not very clever, and it can be said that the low-end is not good. Those so-called rangers are mostly idle people who are quite skilled in martial arts, and to put it bluntly, they are gangsters.
What can these thousands of thugs do? In terms of combat effectiveness, it is not as effective as thousands of soldiers. On weekdays, this group of people can only help Liu Yan to find out the news and catch the handle of the family, and there is really no other use.
But raising this group of gangsters is much more expensive than raising soldiers, and Liu Yan's means really outweigh the losses. You say you have such a soft personality, why are you still engaging in these false things? How can there be a family with a clean ass, and if you have the courage to bring down which family, and use this group of people to provide information?
Or how can you say that Wu Yi looks down on Liu Yan?
You are a monarch, and it is okay to learn from Meng Weijun to attract guests, but you also learned a useless version.
Meng Weijun is not the master of the people, and most of the customers he recruits are to stabilize his power, find out the news, and give advice and play a miraculous role in times of crisis. Isn't that how the rooster cries and the dog thief uses?
But it's good for you, as the lord of Yizhou, to recruit these rangers just to find out the news. But you can't use the news when you find out, isn't this a hole in your brain?
However, Wu Yi really didn't expect that this group of waste-like rangers in his opinion would actually play a miraculous effect at such a critical time, which is quite a bit of a chicken and a dog thief!
Those people who were full of resentment against the family, as well as those prisoners who were imprisoned because of the family, were all screened and organized one by one through the news that these rangers had found out in the past.
These seemingly useless people and messages actually work at such a time, and the effect is amazing.
After all, although the family is very jealous and concerned about the army above the city walls and around the palace, they will detect and react in time if there is any disturbance. But they couldn't imagine that Liu Yan still had such a hand, let alone that the enemy was lurking beside them.
Most of the private soldiers of the family were pulled out by Liu Yan to fill the army, although there were still a lot of soldiers left, which was completely enough to protect themselves. But before the situation is clear, who would dare to put these private soldiers in front of them!
These private soldiers were either hiding not far from the family's mansion or hiding in secret tunnels. If Liu Yan sent troops from the palace, barracks or city walls, he would definitely be discovered by these families, and they could react as soon as possible and mobilize these private soldiers to protect themselves.
But they didn't expect that Liu Yan still had this hand, and they didn't have time to mobilize private soldiers, and the battle was almost over. All the mansions of the family were drowned in flames, and the rioting people and prisoners, led by the rangers, quickly kicked open the doors and slaughtered wantonly.
Most of the important people in the family were quickly killed and injured, and the entire Yizhou family in Chengdu City was uprooted in an instant, except for only three or two big cats and kittens left outside as insurance, none of them were spared.
"Your Majesty's hand is so ruthless! This is completely pushing the family to the opposite side and putting yourself to death! Zhang Ren gasped. He originally thought that what Wu Yi said about eliminating the family was an exaggeration, and it should be punished as an evil leader, at most it was only a core member, but how did he know that it was uprooted!
became a mortal enemy of the family, even he didn't dare to do such a thing. It's okay for me to waste my life or even die because of this, but I'm afraid that my family and future generations will also suffer.
"Why did the lord do such an extreme thing? In this way, I'm afraid that even the two of us won't be able to protect His Royal Highness the Prince! Zhang Ren was shocked.
After all, the Maison is also a group, and it will also maintain some of the rules of this group. And Liu Yan did this, completely destroying the rules of the game, leaving no room at all, which is tantamount to making a feud with the family of the whole world!
Zhang Ren isn't worried about anything, but Liu Zhang may not be able to live! Uprooting most of the families in a state for no reason is enough for Liu Yan's family to die at least ten times.
You must know that it was Yuan Shu who eliminated the family at the beginning, and it was also the hand that the family itself jumped out of. This is a bottom line, otherwise every prince is so messed up, so the family can't play? Who is in charge of this world?
"No, righteousness. On the contrary, this is the only way for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to survive! Looking at the raging fires all over the city, Wu Yi said solemnly.
