Chapter 751: Taoyi Chaos (Third Update)
At noon the next day, tens of thousands of Wei troops drove out of the city surrounded by the crown prince and queen of Wei and headed southeast.
As the mascot of this time, the queen of Wei and the crown prince sat in the same car, so that everyone could clearly see their faces.
Such a big movement naturally alarmed the entire Taoyi, and countless residents of Taoyi City took to the streets, looking at the scene in front of them with surprise and disbelief.
You must know that not long ago, the former monarch of the dead Wei State had abandoned Taoyi once and fled to Suiyang City under the pressure of the army of Pang Xuan of Zhao State.
If it weren't for the success of the peace sued by Zhao State later, Taoyi City would have been owned by Zhao State.
Unexpectedly, after just over half a year, this scene was repeated again.
Although Wei Wangyu is dead, his wife and son still fled from Taoyi without hesitation when the Zhao people attacked, and they didn't even have the courage to symbolically resist and hold on!
It was not only the crown prince and queen who were taken away, but also many ministers and their families, and the mighty procession and carriage traveled for several hours, until it was almost sunset before all of them drove out of Taoyi City.
For this kind of behavior, the residents of Taoyi City naturally have a lot of discussions.
"What's going on, this is gone again?"
"Hey, it seems that these meat eaters were frightened by the people of the Zhao Kingdom, and the king fled last year, and now this prince ...... If there is a father, there must be a son! ”
"You know very well, the current Wei State is not something that the crown prince can call the shots. I've heard that abandoning Taoyi is Wu Xiangjun's idea at all! ”
"Wu Xiangjun? Why did he abandon Taoyi? ”
"You don't know? King Zhao has already told the world, saying that Wu Xiangjun poisoned the first king in public, and coerced the crown prince and queen, and now King Zhao sent troops to kill Wu Xiangjun, a rebel minister, and then ......"
Before he finished speaking, someone on the side hurriedly interrupted: "Silence! Who doesn't know about it now, but who dares to say it? Now that you are openly speaking out in public, aren't you afraid that you will be known by Wu Xiangjun's ears and eyes? Think about the corpses in the vegetable market these days, they are going to be killed! ”
"Hey, head-killing? Now that he Wu Xiangjun has run away, who will kill my head? I'm afraid that he Wu Xiangjun's own head is about to be saved! ”
A gray-haired old man shook his head and sighed: "There are strong enemies outside, and traitors are chaotic inside, this is the way to destroy the country!" Could it be that the dignified Great Wei has fallen to the point where it is today? ”
Everyone sighed when they heard this, and some people couldn't help but say: "I have a brother who is doing business in the Zhao Kingdom, and I heard that the people of the Zhao Kingdom today can not only grant the land in full, but also have many farm tools and ploughing cattle for free rent, and the small life is called a comfortable one!" Tell me that if this Taoyi is returned to the Zhao State, will our life be better than when we were in the Wei State? ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone looked at each other, and at first they wanted to reprimand this guy for his traitorous words, but if they thought about it carefully, it seemed that they were ...... It really makes sense.
Someone said: "That's what I said, but don't forget that Daliang City was flooded by the people of Zhao back then!" How can such a deep vendetta not be avenged? ”
Another humanitarian: "Back then, Wu Anjun Baiqi also flooded Yandu, how can the people of Chu take him?" Haven't the Chu people of Nanyang County and Nanjun been honest and obedient for decades? In this troubled world, it is not easy to save your life, let alone revenge. My uncle also died in the war, but now I just hope to live a good life and live a few days of peace. ”
After a moment of silence, someone spoke again: "In fact, when the Zhao army entered the city last year, it can be regarded as a good military discipline......
"But this time the Zhao army came with the order of rebellion, and the main general is not Pang Xuan but Lecheng, but I can't say what the scene will be after the Zhao army enters the city now, maybe it is possible to burn, kill and plunder."
As soon as they said this, everyone suddenly lost the interest in chatting, and someone said: "Let's all go home, when Zhao Jun enters the city, I don't know if it's good or bad!" ”
Everyone sighed, and slowly faded the interest in chatting, and all of them dispersed.
If Duan Ganzi was still in the city at this moment, then with his many eyes and ears in the city, it would not be difficult to find that those Zhao State Hu Yiwei who had disappeared from his sight had appeared again and began to spread all kinds of remarks against Duan Ganzi and goodwill for Zhao Guo in Taoyi City.
But at this moment, most of Duan Ganzi's henchmen have already left with him, and the rest of the people are still too busy to take care of themselves, so naturally no one will think about hunting down these Hu Yiwei.
After nightfall, because almost most of the officials and armed forces in the entire Wei State Taoyi City were taken away by Duan Ganzi, small-scale sporadic security incidents began to occur.
But this is not the end of it, because when the thugs who were originally just robbers found that there was no official public to stand up for the victims, the thugs naturally became more rampant and unscrupulous.
According to later statistics, on the day Duan Ganzi led the large army to leave, there were at least sixty or seventy vicious public order incidents in Taoyi City, and many victims were injured or even killed as a result.
By the next day, the number had skyrocketed to more than 200.
On the third day, gangsters had already begun to rush into many shops in broad daylight to loot their belongings, many businesses had to close their doors, and a large number of Taoyi residents began to flee from the city with their families.
By the fourth day, the situation was getting out of control, and the thugs were no longer satisfied with robbing the commoners and merchants, but even began to gather in the hundreds and thousands to attack and loot the mansions left by the great nobles in an organized manner.
The chaos in Taoyi City reached its peak on this day, and even the Zhao Qi coalition army camp twenty or thirty miles away could see the roaring fire from Taoyi City at night.
For this point, Kuang Liang, the chief general of the Qi State, was obviously a little puzzled.
"General Lecheng, it's clear that Taoyi is already within reach, why do you insist on waiting here for two days?"
Le Cheng smiled and explained to Kuang Liang: "General Kuang Liang, I am the commander of the coalition army, you just need to wait for the order of my commander." ”
Kuang Liang silently returned to his Qi army camp and told the Qi generals who were eager to use this battle to make a contribution.
"Whoever asks General Ben to go to Lecheng to fight again, General Ben will let him know what General Ben's anger is."
Although Kuang Liang was done, another person who had doubts reappeared.
This person is none other than Lecheng's lieutenant Ji Xin.
Ju Xin was not polite, and directly found Lecheng and began to ask questions.
"General, why haven't you entered the city yet? If this continues, the Tao Yi will be destroyed! ”
Ju Xin is now a lieutenant general of the Northern Army, and he belongs to the same level as Lecheng's Southern Army lieutenant general, plus Ju Xin's old friend and boss Pang Xuan is now a time for the spring breeze to be proud, and he is naturally very confident when he speaks.
For the questioning of the drama Xin, Lecheng could not be indifferent.
So after some hesitation, Le Cheng replied: "General Ju Xin, presumably you should know the task that the king has entrusted us this time. ”
Ju Xin nodded and said, "Of course I know, that is, to take all the land of Wei, so I can't understand why you have to waste so many days outside Taoyi City!" ”
Le Cheng was silent for a while, and replied: "General Ju Xin was also the Yaqing of Yan State, and he knew that it was easy to attack a place, but it was quite difficult to win the hearts of the people in that place after he captured it. ”
The drama was stunned for a moment, and then began to understand something: "So what do you mean is that you want to wait until Taoyi is in chaos before going into the city to clean up the mess?" ”
Lecheng nodded and said, "Exactly." ”
Ji Xin was silent for a long time, and sighed: "But if you enter the city a few days earlier, then there will be fewer deaths in Taoyi City, at least thousands or even tens of thousands of people will live because of this!" ”
Le Cheng shook his head and said in a deep voice: "If you can't use this opportunity to win back the hearts of Taoyi's people in one fell swoop, then if you want to do this in the future, you will have to pay more lives as a price!" ”
When Le Cheng said this, he deliberately accentuated his tone: "Instead of using the lives of the people of Zhao to recover the hearts of Taoyi in the future, it is better to use the cannibalism of the people of Wei to make them understand now that only the powerful Zhao State can protect the city, and only by becoming a member of the Zhao State can Taoyi develop better!" ”
Ju Xin was silent again, and after a long time, he sighed: "Since this is the case, then I think the general army should be able to enter the city tomorrow?" ”
Le Cheng hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Just like General Ju Xin said." ”
Ju Xin was relieved and bowed deeply to Lecheng: "In this way, Ju Xin has thanked the general for the hundreds of thousands of people in Taoyi City!" ”
Looking at the figure of Ji Xin's departure, Le Cheng couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
A voice suddenly sounded in Lecheng's handsome tent: "General Lecheng, according to the plan in advance, you should wait one more day." ”
Le Cheng's face changed slightly, and he snorted softly, and said, "I am the main general of this army!" Tell your master that the relationship between me and him is only a partnership, and that does not mean that he can dictate to me! ”
The voice was silent for a moment, and then said: "The head of my family just wants to cooperate with General Lecheng to get what they need, after all, General Lecheng doesn't want to be subservient to Lian Po and Pang Xuan for the rest of his life." ”
The disgust on Le Cheng's face became even stronger, and he said in a deep voice: "Enough! Get out of here at once, and go back and tell your master that you don't have such an idea for me again!" ”
……
The next day, the army of Zhao, under the leadership of Le Cheng, marched into the city of Taoyi and took over the entire city under the eagerness of thousands of Taoyi residents.
According to the records of the historians of Zhao State: "In the twelfth year of the king, Lecheng led the army to the southern expedition to Duan Ganzi. Duan Ganzi coerced the queen of Wei, the crown prince and many princes to flee south, and Taoyi was in chaos. Hou Lecheng marched into Taoyi, and there was no crime in the autumn, and thousands of criminals were captured and beheaded in the city in three days, and the hearts of the people of Taoyi were all returned to Zhao State. ”
