Before dawn on June 5, a fire broke out in Zhen's Lilu in the north of Zhenyi City, which immediately caused a panic. The Zhen clan of the big clan hurriedly organized clan soldiers to put out the fire, because only a few single-family houses were set on fire, so they were quickly extinguished and did not spread to the whole city.

However, they ignored the movement at the south gate, and by the time they reacted, it was too late.

Twenty soldiers who had infiltrated the city earlier forcibly seized the south gate at the cost of injuring one person, and then the city gate was opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and hundreds of Zhao soldiers who were in ambush outside the city rose up in ambush.

Half a quarter later, 500 soldiers poured into the south gate, and then divided into several teams under the command of the military officials, first controlling the various intersections, and then the crossbowmen led by the soldiers went straight to the east and west gates. The guards in these two places were defenseless, and after a round of fierce shooting, they were demoralized and surrendered, Su Shouyu led people to control the east and west gates, and no one was allowed to enter or exit, and sent people to run along the Yi wall towards the north gate.

The armor soldiers with swords and shields rushed straight to the Yi Temple, crushing the dozens of guards who were awakened like a devastation, and then captured alive the Weiguo Yi who was dressed in deep clothes and was about to go out to check the fire.

Three hundred lightly armored warriors with spears swept through the streets and alleys, aiming directly at the barracks in the north of Yi and the Zhen family's Lilu!

"The army of the Jin Kingdom has arrived, and a quick surrender can avoid death!"

For a time, the city was full of Zhao Wushu's shouts.

Zhenyi has a brigade of guards, half of whom are distributed in Simen and Yi Temple, and the other half stay in the barracks located in the west of Yi. When the sound of killing shook the sky, Yi Sima was shocked and did not have the courage to resist the street fighting, but rushed towards the north of Yi with the disheveled and uneven people, and they subconsciously wanted to break out of the city from the north gate.

However, when these two or three hundred people ran out of the north gate in a sparse manner, they were shot back after a rain of arrows. But I saw that there were already more than 20 light knights with bows and arrows standing outside the north gate, lined up to block the way, it was Yu Xi and others who came around the wall in two groups before.

At this time, the crossbowmen from the west gate and the east gate also occupied the north gate of the Yi wall, in front of which there were light horses with tall horses, and dozens of crossbows were condescendingly pointed at the top of their heads, and Yi Sima had no choice but to lead the army to surrender.

When Zhao Wuxian and Zhang Meng arrived at Zhenyi Temple without blood. Soon received the good news from the commanders of all walks of life, the city was half-entered by the third watch, and Zhao Wushu controlled the situation in the whole city during the fourth watch: the four gates were guarded by crossbowmen, and the light knights patrolled outside the city. A corps of military guards was left at each intersection, one soldier stared at the guards who were escorted back to the barracks in the west of Yi, and the rest surrounded the Zhen clan in the north of Yi.

Zhao Wuxian ordered: "Don't attack, let people shout first, and say that the Jin army has taken control of this city." We will not kill and plunder, let the local patriarchs and elders come to the Yi Temple to discuss matters. ”

In addition, let people shout martial law in the whole town along the streets and alleys, let the people stay at home for the time being, and not go out, and each soldier must take care of his soldiers, do not kill indiscriminately, do not destroy rooms, do not fill wells, do not cut down trees, and do not move six animals. Violators will be dealt with by military law!"

Feng Rin heard the news when the soldiers entered the city, and he came out of the guest house, and this will make another cameo as a lobbyist, and the person sent by the Zhen family to negotiate with him on the wall happened to be the South Gate Corporal Zhen Jin's father.

Seeing that the businessman who was still smiling at noon yesterday turned into an arrogant messenger in a blink of an eye, no matter how stupid Zhen Jian's father was, he understood what was going on, although he secretly scolded Feng Rin in his heart, but on the surface, he only flattered and tempted.

Feng Rin was protected by several armor soldiers with shields outside the wall, and he held his head high and said to Zhen Jin's father on the wall: "Corporal Zhen, don't you think that with this small wall, you can temporarily keep safe?" Although the Zhen family is numerous, these soldiers today are only the vanguard of the Jin army. There are still a group of people in the army who are pressed by the black pressure, and if they want to protect the clan, they will quickly go to persuade the patriarch to follow me to the Yi Temple to surrender, and I can also help you and others in front of the brigade commander. ”

And an army of people!?

Zhen Jin's father was scared. Busy to spread the word, the Zhen family has a population of thousands and five hundred soldiers, but under the deterrence of "the army of the Jin State has arrived", there is no longer any heart to resist. Previously, he was only worried about the rebels plundering the clan, after getting a promise from the other party not to kill. chose to open the door and surrender, and the patriarch took the three elders of the clan to the Yi Temple to spy on the new owner of Zhenyi.

When the sun rose again on the morning of June 6, all organized resistance in Zhenyi had been disintegrated, and according to the statistics of Dou Ping, a math scholar from Chengxiang, one of his own side was killed and six were wounded, and the number of dead and wounded among the guards and people in the town did not exceed 50, which was within the range of Zhao Wuxian's acceptance.

Overnight, Zhenyi's sky changed.

……

A group of Wei officials of Zhen Yi, such as Yi Sima, Pawn Chief, and Cang Officials, were all escorted to Yi Temple, where they waited for Zhao Wuxian to be summoned with the Zhen clan chief, in addition to the various lixu, small clan chiefs, and merchants.

The tall temple gate is different from the lax in the past, and is now tightly guarded by swords and armor guards.

Their eyes were fixed on the local guards, clans, merchants, and elders who were trembling and rushing in from the door, and it seemed that if anyone moved, the sharp spears and halberds would stab at them without hesitation.

The courtyard of the temple is wide and deep, there is a large hall in the middle, the eaves are flying corners, majestic and tall, and there are stone steps in front of the hall, extending to the courtyard. There was a large jujube tree in the courtyard, and the branches and leaves were still green, and everyone was brought here, anxiously waiting for the conqueror to summon them.

On weekdays, the door of the hall where Yi Zai worked was closed, Zhao Wuxian and Zhang Mengtan had already occupied the dove's nest, and Yi Zai and the small officials and guards in the temple were temporarily locked in prison waiting to be released.

They sat on the soft couch inside, flipping through the paperwork on the desk, and discussing the countermeasures after taking Zhenyi.

"The seal characters of Weiguo are still a little different from the Jin characters and Song characters, and I have a headache when I see it." Zhao Wuxian snapped, threw the bamboo roll on the case, and rubbed his temples.

After taking Zhen Yi, he was faintly excited, this was the first piece of land he got after exile, and it came so easily, but Zhang Mengtan immediately poured cold water on him.

"Zitai, although we control the situation in the city, it does not mean that we control the entire Zhen land."

Zhang Mengtan pointed to a brochure and said: "Zhendi has a total of 2,500 households and a population of more than 16,000, of which only 8,100 are in the city, and there are several small towns scattered within dozens of miles around, and they will not be able to send troops to occupy them for a while." ”

Zhao Wuxian also sighed: "Indeed, we can't divide our troops rashly, because even if it is in the city, it is not stable. We are strange forces from outside, and although we have easily captured the city, we have not been able to gain the support of the patriots, and the rebellion has never been extinguished. Just buried deep in the earth, maybe a spark can ignite. ”

"The guards of the country have all been captured, and the Zhen family has also softened, and they are a small family of ten times. Hearing that the Jin army was coming, he naturally did not dare to resist. But in fact, even if we received the news sent by us, the Jin army would not arrive until half a dozen years at the earliest, and for such a long time, the Zhen clan and the people in the Yi would definitely find that we were just bluffing. It is inevitable that there will be other thoughts, so this play still has to be continued. ”

He got up and tidied up his appearance, and also helped Zhang Meng straighten his clothes, and said: "In this case, it is enough to give the guards, clans, and merchants outside the door to dismount, without further ado, quickly summon them in and act according to the plan we made before." ”

……

Zhen Zhongxun, the patriarch of the Zhen clan, is the backbone of the local clans, large and small, and surrendered to the "Jin army" today. and took the initiative to follow Feng Rin to the Yi Temple to discuss matters, which was also the head of the plate belt he patted.

Behind him, more than a dozen patriotic officials, Zhen's small sect, and even businessmen were talking in fear, the Central Plains had been peaceful for many years, and they had never encountered such a thing in their lives.

But Zhen Zhongxun, who had been to Puyang and Taoqiu, was not too panicked, he was well-informed and knew that the Jin State was not attacking and defending this time, but competing with the Qi State for hegemony, and the ownership of Wei was very important. Wei Hou will only change his camp if he is hurt.

So he expected that although Zhen Yi was inexplicably broken by this Jin army, as long as the Wei Hou of Puyang agreed to negotiate peace with the Jin State. Then it will soon return to the rule of the Patriotic State.

The only thing to worry about is that the occupiers' commanders must be persuaded to restrain their soldiers, and if they can, they will be willing to pay a little price.

Then, it is best for everyone to wait for peace to come, and then go back to their respective homes.

That's when it happened. The door of the hall opened, and under Feng Rin's summons, everyone sorted out their appearance, and after restraining their panicked mentality, they lined up to enter, led by Zhen Zhongxun.

The hall was also full of sword-wielding soldiers, and there was even a row of armor soldiers standing in the middle of the main seat where they and the young brigade commander were, and the brigade commander sat behind the desk, looking at the people with a smile on his face, and a gorgeous bronze armor was not very powerful, and beside him stood an elegant scribe with a crown.

Everyone saluted tremblingly, the scribe returned the salute from above, and the brigade commander just looked at them coldly and nodded slightly.

"I don't know which gentleman of the Jin Kingdom is the brigade marshal?" Zhen Zhongxun stood up and asked carefully, figuring out the other party's background is the most important thing, he can lead the Jin State forward to attack the city at a young age, at least after the doctor, and maybe even the son.

The young brigade commander didn't answer immediately, but just asked people to sit for the elderly and Zhen Zhongxun and others with higher status.

Then he opened his mouth and said: "Yu Nai is a gentleman of the Zhao family, from Wendi. ”

"Doctor Wen, the son of Zhao Luo?" Zhen Zhongxun and the rest of the people looked at each other, indeed, it is said that the crossbowmen standing at the head of the wall spoke the Wendi dialect.

Zhao Wuxian didn't answer anymore, everyone thought he had acquiesced, and Zhang Mengtan next to him took over the conversation and said: "We are the vanguard of the Jin Kingdom, and we were sent by the Chinese army to seize Zhendi, and the army will arrive one after another in the next few days." The two countries of Jin and Wei both belong to the clan alliance surnamed Ji, and the war is like a brotherly fight, and it is not good to accidentally hurt the people of the clan, so the brigade commander needs the cooperation of you, the officials perform their duties, and the patriarch and the three elders also have to help pacify the people, and then send envoys to recruit the surrounding towns and towns, and bring them into our temporary management, what is it? ”

Zhen Zhongxun and the others dare not speak, they are only willing to maintain the status quo, how can they take the initiative to help the occupiers? At this moment, it was Zhao Wuxian who slapped his sword on the desk with a snap, startling them.

Wuxian stood up and sighed: "I won't hide it from you, the six families of the Jin Kingdom are now in their own affairs, and there are even Rong Di's servants and soldiers, so the good and bad in the army are incomplete, and the military discipline is not good, this is something that all the princes know." ”

He was right, the military discipline of the Jin army abroad has always been worrisome, and there have been more than once or twice of raiding enemy countries and even sneak attacks on the cities of allies. In the past, when Duke Wen of Jin broke Cao, Wei Li openly harassed Dr. Cao Guo and set fire to his mansion; At the Pingqiu Meeting, when the Jin State of 4,000 soldiers gathered in the territory of the allies to defend the country, the sheep's tongue carp acted as Sima's position, and he did not govern military discipline and connived at the looting of soldiers, which made people feel chilled.

As soon as he said this, everyone in Zhendi couldn't help but be worried, how can there be a saying? Where the division is, thorns are born, and after the army, there will be a fierce year.

Wuxian patted his chest and promised: "However, under my rule, I can ensure that the soldiers will not violate your clan and property, and everyone will be safe in their duties." But if you don't cooperate, when the Jin army arrives one after another, I won't be able to protect you and the others, and I won't be able to guarantee the safety of the towns that have not yet surrendered......"

This is called thinking for them, but it is actually full of threats.

Zhen Zhongxun and the others were a little panicked, this is indeed not a joke, they also have a lot of industries outside the city, if they really let the Jin army in transit be destroyed, the loss will be immeasurable. Now that the brigade commander in front of him has promised to rule with gentleness, it is not impossible to hand over the clan soldiers and actively cooperate with him to appease the people.

So everyone bowed down and said, "We are willing to follow the gentleman and help the gentleman appease the people!" (To be continued.) )
