Chapter 226
Whether it is Zhou Cang or Guan Hai, they are all existences that can be called fierce generals. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info Maybe they are much inferior to Gan Ning, Zhao Yun and other generals, but they are undoubtedly monsters in front of ordinary soldiers, plus those soldiers who can also be regarded as small monsters, the city wall was quickly swept away.
In just a quarter of an hour's effort, no less than two or three hundred people had climbed up on the section of the city wall where Zhou Cang and the others were. Perhaps this number is nothing for a battle, but for the defenders it symbolizes the impending catastrophe...
"Drive them down, drive them down!"
Seeing more and more Beihai soldiers and horses climbing the city wall, a general shouted anxiously, sweat already covering his forehead and flowing down his helmet.
The soldiers and horses under his account all glanced at him, silent, not to mention that Guan Hai and Zhou Cang's two monsters were still in front, they had all seen the power of the soldiers and horses in Beihai, what else was there to go up at this time besides sending their lives?
Under the military order, they rushed a few times, but after being repulsed, they died down.
The general seemed to be in a hurry, but there was nothing he could do. He could have resorted to military law, or cut off the heads of a few of his soldiers to boost morale, but the consequences of doing so might not make him happy. The soldiers may charge forward, they may point their blades at him...
On the battlefield, there are never a few people who are killed by their own people with cold arrows, some of them die by accident, but others are not...
"........." Just as the two armies were fighting the city wall, a figure hid in the position of the castle tower and overlooked the scene, and after making sure that the defenders did not seem to be able to drive the Beihai soldiers off the city wall, the figure walked down from the position of the castle tower.
At the corner of the city wall, a war horse was tied there, waiting for him quietly.
The figure turned on his horse with great neatness, and did not pay attention to the situation behind him, but galloped towards a certain position in the city.
At this time, the city was already in chaos, and several roads were blocked by soldiers coming and going, but this man seemed to be very familiar with the situation in the city, and he was able to find his way very quickly every time, avoiding the congested roads.
In addition, this man's riding skills are not bad, and the people in the city will not go out at all because of the war, even on some winding roads, they can move forward at a faster speed, and after a while, they will come to their destination, in front of a very imposing mansion.
There seemed to be people waiting in front of the gate of the mansion for a long time, and when they saw the arrival of the knight, two men immediately greeted them. "The master of the house has been waiting for you for a long time, come in with us..."
The man nodded, and followed the two men into the mansion.
The mansion occupies a very large area, and the interior layout has both a magnificent side and a solemn sense unique to the architecture of the Han Dynasty. Along the way, you can see a lot of subordinates, all of them holding swords, and some of them seem to be maids, but they are standing together with pale faces, obviously knowing very well what the situation is outside...
The man saw it in his eyes, and didn't say anything, just followed the leader in, but after a while, he came to the door of a small courtyard.
When they arrived here, the two subordinates no longer led the way, but said to the man. "The head of the house is inside, you go in first, and the two of us will wait here..."
"Okay." Silently replied, the man walked into the small courtyard, and just pushed open the door of the courtyard, he saw several richly dressed people sitting inside, including old and young, and it could be seen from the clothes alone that the origins of these people were not simple.
As for the two subordinates, they lowered their heads and did not dare to raise their heads to help close the door of the courtyard.
"The head of the house..." had just walked into the small courtyard, and the man had already hugged his fist to one of the middle-aged people sitting inside, and his words were very respectful.
"Yishan, what's going on, what's going on outside?" The middle-aged man seemed to be talking to everyone about something before, and when he saw the man coming, he stopped talking and asked him.
It can be seen that the topic that these people talked about before was definitely not very easy, and the faces of several people were serious, and some of them even looked a little blue.
"It's not good, Yan Shao's soldiers and horses have already attacked the city wall, especially the three fierce generals, after going to the city wall, it is almost like entering a no-man's land, no one can stop them along the way, and now there are more and more Beihai soldiers and horses on the city wall, I'm afraid it won't be long before they will be killed in the city..."
"What about Xu Qian? How is he? Hearing the man's words, one of them hurriedly asked.
"Thisβ" The man hesitated for a moment, and glanced at the middle-aged man in fancy clothes. Brother Xu's martial arts are extraordinary, but he only stopped one of them..."
The face of the middle-aged man in the gorgeous costume changed, but he didn't say anything, and the other people in the small courtyard also changed their faces when they heard it.
You must know that Xu Qian is one of the most famous warriors in the Qi country, considering that people in this era prefer to run around, there are not many people they can find in their hands, and now even Xu Qian is only one of the three people who are attacking the city, and the rest of the things seem to be not difficult to imagine.
Of course, if they knew that the one Xu Qian stopped was only the weakest of the three people besieging the city, they didn't know what they would think...
"In this way, I need to prepare early..."There was silence for a while, and the head of the family who spoke first sighed helplessly.
The middle-aged man in Huafu, who had asked about Xu Qian's condition before, also nodded when he heard it. "I thought that Zheng Qi would be able to resist Yan Shao for a while with our help, but it seems that we made a mistake, but now that Linzi is about to fall, we really have to make plans early..."
"That..." At this time, it was an old man who had been sitting next to him, who seemed to be on par with several of them. Whether we want to call back the soldiers and horses lent to Zheng Qi, since Yan Shao is about to enter the city, I am afraid that I will continue to leave these soldiers and horses in the distance, so that I can reduce some losses for a few others..."
It turned out that the people in this small courtyard were all the heads of several families in Linzi City.
If you want to talk about the family, there is also a distinction between the top and the bottom, and the worse ones are like Yan Shao, except for the family's industry, which is no different from an ordinary poor family. And the stronger ones like the Yuan family, their family background alone is enough to make many heroes go to the front.
At present, this old man is a little distressed about the soldiers and horses lent to Zheng Qi, this time in order to help Zheng Qi, each family has made a lot of efforts, especially in the field of soldiers and horses, and has contributed a lot. Now that Zheng Qi's defeat is imminent, he continues to leave the soldiers and horses in Zheng Qi's hands, and these people are afraid that they will never be able to find them back.
These families are indeed big families, but such a large number of people is definitely not a small amount for them, so it is better to get some back.
Hearing the old man's words, one of them smiled bitterly. "Someone left outside? This Linzi City is about to change its owner, if that Yan Shao finds out that we have helped Zheng Qi, and I don't know how to treat us, at this time, we can only be a strong man with a broken wrist, and what are you talking about outsiders..."
The other people's faces were a little ugly, but they also nodded in agreement.
Linzi City is about to change its owner, and at this time, calling the people from outside back, wouldn't it be easy for Yan Shao to know which family's personnel these soldiers and horses are? To say that in the past, these families didn't mind changing the owner of the city or anything, but Yan Shao was different.
What he did in Le'an had already spread throughout Qingzhou, who knew what Yan Shao would do after learning that they had helped Zheng Qi?
In fact, they will help Zheng Qi, in addition to Zheng Qi's influence in the Qi State, it is also related to what Yan Shao did in Le'an. For today's plan, it can only be like what the man said before, the strong man broke his wrist and cut off the contact between himself and the others and the soldiers and horses outside.
This doesn't mean that you can really hide all the connections, after all, there are so many people outside, as long as one or two fall into Yan Shao's hands, Yan Shao can know the truth about this matter. However, there are a lot of families who have helped Zheng Qi this time, and it can be said that the entire Linzi City has different degrees of help, and no matter how tyrannical Yan Shao is, it is impossible to kill all the families in the city.
As long as he has this consideration, there is a buffer room.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, these people can find ways to ease their relationship with Yan Shao, and when Yan Shao learned that Zheng Qi made the biggest contribution to defending the city this time, the relationship between them had already eased to a considerable extent, and at that time, I believe Yan Shao was embarrassed to do it again, right?
When they are really forced to do so, they can even marry Yan Shao, and give a few of the school-age girls in their families to Yan Shao as wives and concubines, which is also a method used by the familyββββββ to say that the family should also be more backbone, at least the kind full of arrogance, generally speaking, if you marry, it is okay to marry your daughter to someone else's wife, as a concubine? This kind of thing is impossible.
It's like the emperor's daughter, would she marry someone else and be a concubine?
But in fact, the reality is very cruel, no matter how you advertise your family on weekdays, there is only one way to grovel when you are really facing a desperate situation. This can be seen from the Tang Dynasty, after all, there were really a lot of cool officials in the Tang Dynasty, such as the more famous Lai Junchen...
If Lai Junchen fell in love with any woman, he would take advantage of his work to frame the husband of the woman he fancied in prison first, and then replace him. As long as it is someone who comes to Junchen's eye, it doesn't matter whether the person is a girl who has not left the cabinet or a married daughter-in-law, you must get it
Generally speaking, the means of coming to Junchen is coercion and temptation, and in the face of such cool officials, most of them do not have the courage to confront him. If the family didn't know each other, he would sue them for rebellion, kill the whole family, and then get the girl over, and he ruined countless families. That's how his wife got married.
This Mrs. Lai was born in the famous Taiyuan Wang family, a first-class nobleman, and there were only a few families that could be compared with the Wang family at that time, which was the so-called five surnames and seven wangs. Even if the emperor wants to marry his grandson, he may not be able to marry such a family, so that as I said before, even the emperor will sigh that his family is a two-hundred-year-old royal family, why can't he even compare with a family. And the Tang Dynasty was very particular about rank, and it stands to reason that he would not marry someone like Lai Junchen anyway.
Originally, this Miss Wang was married to a person named Duan Jian, but because she was too beautiful, she was targeted by Lai Junchen. When he came to Junchen, he went to Duan's house and pretended to pass on the holy decree, saying that the emperor had rewarded him with the Wang family. Although Duan Jian knew that this was pure nonsense, he was afraid that Lai Junchen would frame him for rebellion, so he had to give his wife to him. Lai Junchen, who was born as a death row prisoner, became the son-in-law of the Taiyuan Wang family.
As for the Taiyuan Wang? It stands to reason that it should be extremely annoyed, but it is a turtle with a shrunken head for this matterββββββ there is no way, Lai Junchen is indeed too violent, and with Wu Zetian behind his back, many times even they can only endure it...
ββββββββββ Dividing Lineββββββββββ
On the tall watchtower, looking at the soldiers who gradually poured onto the city wall, Yan Shao was also excited.
"In this way, the Qi country will be equal to ours..."
At this time, Dong Zhao and Cheng Yu glanced at each other, and Dong Zhao spoke first. "My lord..."
"Oh? Gongren? What's wrong? Yan Shao glanced at Dong Zhao a little strangely, not knowing what was going on with him.
"Now that Linzi is about to fall, most of Qingzhou has fallen into the hands of the lord, and the rest are only the plains and Jinan. Liu Bei of the plain does not know the current affairs, and tries in vain to compete with the lord, so there is no need to say much, but the country of Jinan is just a small country, and there is no strength, Zhao implores the lord to send an envoy to the country of Jinan, to say it in a powerful way, so that the army can take another city for the lord without blood..."
But it is something that Dong Zhao and Cheng Yu have thought about a long time ago, the six counties of Qingzhou, now there are three counties in the hands of Yan Shao, and the Qi State is also about to fall, so there are only Plains and Jinan Kingdom left. Liu Bei sent a letter before, and he ridiculed Yan Shao quite a bit between his words, the previous positions of the two have been decided, and there is no need to say more, but Jinan is different.
In the past, before Jiao He and Yan Shao, Jinan had always held a neutral attitude, but this time it was more clearly on the side of Wang Xuan and Zheng Qi, but he did not directly make enemies with Yan Shao.
If you find a more powerful lobbyist, you may be able to persuade Jinan to hand over the land...
"It's okay, it's just a candidate for this lobbyist..."
"Lobbyists..."
