Chapter 370: Breaking the City (Part II)

"Do it!"

The youngster faces the man on the right and his back to the other two, which gives the other two a chance.

Behind him, there was a sudden shout.

When the young general heard the sound, he immediately turned around, and the sword in his hand also turned sideways, wanting to kill the two people behind him. However, the two did not stand, but quickly squatted down, and at the same time reached out to hug the young general's legs, suddenly shouted, and lifted the young general up and threw it downstairs.

"Ahh

In the blink of an eye, a scream came from downstairs. The young general's head hit the ground, and blood flowed everywhere, and scarlet blood flowed out of his head, quickly flowing into a pool of blood.

"Traitor, look for death!"

The general who defended the city died, and there was a captain on the tower who was in charge of defending the city.

A lieutenant had just yelled and was about to rush forward to kill someone with a war knife in his hand, but as soon as he took a step, he felt a pain in his waist. When I turned around, I saw that the children of the big clans in another city had a hideous face, and stabbed the captain in the waist with a sword, killing the captain. He smiled hideously, looked around, and wanted to kill the Yizhou army who wanted to resist.

On the tower of the city, many Yizhou generals who wanted to resist were killed by the gentry of the big clan.

It didn't take long for the situation on the castle tower to be controlled by the great gentry.

The soldiers stationed on the tower saw that the opportunity was wrong and immediately gave up resistance. In addition, the silk silk said that Yan Yan had already led his troops towards Nanzheng, and Baocheng had become an isolated city, and it would be useless to continue to stay.

Baocheng immediately changed hands.

It can be said that Yan Yan let the gentry help defend the city, which was the biggest failure.

If the city is guarded by the general, the city will definitely be held for a longer time.

Yan Yan's biggest failure was to arrest all the old and young of the big clans in the city, because the descendants of these big clans represent the inheritance of incense, which cannot be desecrated or violated. Yan Yan threatened the lives of the big clans in the city, and he had already formed a beam, and sooner or later it would break out.

"Kaesong, surrender."

The people of the big clan who had dragged the young general before shouted loudly, and the private soldiers of the gentry clan on the city tower immediately rushed down the city tower and opened the city gate. Wang Can looked at the young general who fell down from the city tower, with a sneer on his face, Yan Yan left this person in Baocheng in order to delay time, but he didn't expect that he had already captured Baocheng without an hour.

"Into town!"

Wang Can gave an order and prepared to enter the city.

Zhou Cang said: "Lord, I am afraid that there is fraud in the city, please wait for a while, and after Cang leads the soldiers into the city to inquire about the situation, it is not too late for the lord to enter the city again." ”

Wang Can nodded and did not refute Zhou Cang's words. Zhou Cang got the order and ordered Pei Yuanshao to lead the army to protect Wang Can, and then led a part of the soldiers into the city.

Wang Can led a small number of soldiers into the city, and the army was still stationed outside the city.

The big gentry in the city all looked respectful and greeted Wang Can in the city.

After entering the city, Wang Can rode on a black horse, bowed to the gentry of the big clan in the city, and said loudly: "Wang Can is late, tired of you suffering, this can also apologize to you, I hope you understand." ”

Wang Can did this, and everyone didn't even dare to say it.

Wang Can's gaze swept over everyone, and there was a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Everyone also looked at Wang Can, and when they saw Wang Can's sword eyebrows and his demeanor, there was a majesty in his demeanor, and they were all secretly heartbroken.

At the same time, seeing that Wang Can did not show an arrogant and domineering expression, his good impression of Wang Can also increased.

After Wang Can captured Baocheng, the Yizhou soldiers surrendered, and their families could also be guaranteed. After entering the city, Wang Canchao said to the gentry of the great clan standing in the city: "Everyone, this time Ben Taishou was able to enter Baocheng, thanks to your help, thank you." Ben Taishou still has important matters to discuss with you, please go to the county government. ”

After finishing speaking, Wang Can rode his horse and raised his whip and said, "Ben Taishou is one step ahead and is waiting for you in the county government." Following Wang Can, the rest of the generals and soldiers also ran towards the county government quickly.

"Gong Li, what if Wang Can summoned me to the county government to discuss matters?"

The person who spoke was thirty times, with a Chinese face and three short beards under his chin, and he looked at an old man who was nearly seventy years old beside him, and asked softly. This middle-aged man is the person who dragged the young general who defended the city before, named Zeng Yi, and is the patriarch of the Zeng clan in Baocheng. The old man, who is nearly seventy years old, is the leader of the Baocheng gentry clan, named Li Li, and is the patriarch of the Li clan in Baocheng.

Li Li was leaning on a wooden cane, looking calm.

He had also stood on the tower, but he had been protected and had not gone into battle. Li Lichang shouted: "Wang Taishou summoned us, naturally there is something important to discuss, of course go!" ”

After everyone heard this, they all said: "I want to listen to Li Gong's arrangement!" ”

Compared with the Nanzheng clan, the grand gentry of Baocheng are more united.

The Three Kingdoms are actually composed of big families. In every city, in every place, there are wealthy gentry. For example, in the Three Kingdoms, the Yingchuan Xun clan of the Wei State, the Yingchuan Chen clan and other major clans were all important ministers under Cao Cao. Cao Cao's large-scale selection of scholars from the Han family may not have the intention of cutting off the influence of the family, but after Cao Pi ascended the throne, he promoted the children of the family to officials, making the family prosperous, and Sima Yi's victory over the Wei State may not be without the family's family to help the trouble.

The reason for this is the reason why Cao Cao planted it.

Because Cao Cao wanted to weaken the influence of the big family, he would oppose the big family.

On the other hand, in Dongwu, Jingzhou, and Shu, where are there no big families? It's just that Shu and Wu did not treat the family like Cao Cao, but adopted a tolerant policy.

When Wang Can entered Baocheng, the first thing he thought about was naturally to convene the Baocheng clan to discuss things.

Not for anything else, because they control the lifeblood of Baocheng. The Baocheng clan all obeyed Li Li's arrangement, unified their voices, and walked towards the hall of the county government.

Prefectural hall, in the hall.

Wang Can sat on the main seat, and Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao stood on the left and right.

Guo Jia did not enter the city with the army, but waited outside the city, while LΓΌ Meng took a hundred wolf-toothed soldiers to retrieve the crossbow arrows scattered on the city tower. Therefore, after every great battle, LΓΌ Meng would take back the crossbow arrows and continue to use them.

It didn't take long for Li Li to rush to the hall with everyone.

Li Li first bowed to Wang Can and bowed: "Old Li Li, meet Wang Taishou." ”

However, Li Li also made a symbolic bow. Because he is nearly seventy years old, he is an old man. In ancient China, the word "filial piety" was very important, and at the same time, the "old man" was also very respectful, people over sixty years old could see officials without worshipping, and people over seventy years old could already get the privileges granted by the imperial court, which were all respect for the elderly.

The life expectancy of the ancients is different from that of modern times, ** a lot of ten years old, but the ancients said that life is rare in seventy years, and when it is seventy years old, it is already very rare, and it should be respected.

Wang Can didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly waved his hand to signal Li Li to sit down.

After a pause, Wang Can said: "Gong Li, the matter is urgent, Ben Taishou will not waste time talking nonsense." Yan Yan led his troops to Nanzheng, but the road to Nanzheng had been blocked by Ben Taishou and could not advance, and he would return soon. Therefore, Ben Taishou had to lead the troops to meet Yan Yan, and the heavy responsibility of defending Baocheng was handed over to Li Gong. ”

After finishing speaking, Wang Can bowed to Li Li again.

Li Li thought for a while and asked: "Wang Taishou led the troops to meet the strict thieves, I don't know which adult is left to guard the city?" ”

Wang Can shook his head and said, "Since Duke Li is responsible for guarding the city, Ben Taishou will not leave anyone to hinder Duke Li, and let Duke Li command." However, Ben Taishou also had no soldiers to help Li Gong, hoping that Li Gong could organize the people of Baocheng and guard Baocheng. ”

Li Li listened to Wang Can's words, and his expression was also moved, and he said loudly: "With the trust of Wang Taishou, Li will definitely do his best to guard the city for Wang Tai. ”

Wang Can nodded and said, "In this case, I will thank Gong Li." ”

After finishing speaking, Wang Can bowed his hand to the others and said: "The safety of Baocheng depends on the support of everyone. ”

"I will live up to the king's entrustment!"

These people all obeyed Li Li's arrangement, and when they saw Li Li's promise, they all immediately responded. This is also the benefit of a small city having a small town, and a big city having the benefit of a big city. There are too many entanglements of interests in the big city, and the big clans have interests with each other, and it is difficult to unite together, but the small city has only a little interest, and a strong big clan appears, and the rest of the families obey the arrangement, and there will not be too many disputes.

Wang Can nodded with satisfaction, and immediately said: "The matter is urgent, many things in the city are handled by Li Gong, and Ben Taishou immediately took people away to meet Yan Yan." ”

After finishing speaking, Wang Can left with Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao.

A group of people sent Wang Can out of the county government again, and watched Wang Can and others leave.

Zeng Yi looked at the back of Wang Can riding away and asked, "Duke Li, how is Wang Taishou guarding this person?" ”

Li Li stroked the gray beard under his chin and said: "I often hear that Wang Taishou is heroic and extraordinary, and he has the qualifications of a hero, and when I see it today, it is really extraordinary and admirable, and this open-mindedness alone is heartbreaking." If any of you take the city, who will dare to entrust the city of Nuoda to the old decay? ”

Everyone smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

These people also secretly admired Wang Can's courage.

However, Wang Can relied not only on courage, but with sufficient reasons.

The big clans in Baocheng pushed the Baocheng guards down the city tower, and they had already sworn to stand with Yan Yan, and it was impossible to become Yan Yan's helpers. Therefore, Wang Can dared to hand over Baocheng to Li Li to guard, as for the so-called Baocheng clan to divide Baocheng, Wang Can never thought that when the army arrived, these people did not dare to disobey the order.

After Wang Can left with Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, Pei Yuanshao said angrily: "Lord, Baocheng is very important, and one person should be left to help Li Li garrison Baocheng. ”

Wang Can said with a smile: "Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people, why bother yourself." ”

Pei Yuanshao shook his head, but he didn't think so in his heart.

How can the great city be guarded by people who do not know the roots? The three of them left Baocheng, and after leaving Baocheng, Wang Can asked, "Amon took someone to retrieve the crossbow arrows, have you returned?" ”

The soldier on the side replied, "The little general has returned to the camp and is in the military formation." ”

Wang Can nodded and said, "Okay, set off immediately, and prepare for a decisive battle with Yan Yan!" After finishing speaking, Wang Can led the army to leave Baocheng quickly and rushed towards the camp where the army was originally stationed.

The decisive battle location is still in the old place!
