Three days later, Jiang Qin arrived from Taihu Lake. After meeting Tao Ying, Tao Ying took him to Wuxi to meet Zhou Tai. Seeing that the old man had come to the city, Zhou Tai wanted to go out of the city and cut off his robe with Jiang Qin, but Yan Yu was afraid that he would take the opportunity to go out of the city and surrender, so he removed Zhou Tai's military power and locked Zhou Tai in prison.

couldn't see Zhou Tai, Tao Ying knew that the narrow-minded Yan Yu must have locked Zhou Tai up. Yan Yu tied his own arm, and the entire Wuxi City would naturally not be under Tao Ying's words.

So Tao Ying ordered the army to surround the city on three sides, and Tao Ying led no less than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and there were only more than 4,000 soldiers and horses in the city, so he naturally would not be afraid.

The siege on three sides was very urgent, but the Yan Yu army held the city, and for a time Tao Ying's army and horses suffered heavy losses. But in order to be able to pull out this thorn in the eye, Tao Ying could only endure the pain and continue to attack, and when the time came to catch Yan Yu, he would dismantle him to vent his hatred!

The two brothers, Yan Yu and Yan Baihu, were originally bandits in the mountains, but because of the writers, they occupied two cities. After occupying the two cities, he did not think of the people, drank and had fun all day long, paid a lot of taxes, and oppressed the good, which made the people want to eat their flesh raw to relieve their hatred.

In this Wuxi city, there is still a person named Quan Rou. When Dong Zhuo rioted, he was the official to Shangshu Lingyoucheng, and later resigned to avoid the chaos and came to his hometown of Wuxi City, Wu County, to live in seclusion.

When Yan Yu was an official in Wuxi, as a bandit, the big families did not obey him. So Yan Yu wanted to ask him to come out as an official, and then use it to get more support. However, Quan Rou, who was an official in the imperial court, disdained to be in the company of bandits, so he refused Yan Yu's repeated invitations, Yan Yu thought that Quan Rou was taking the lead and was working against him, so in a fit of anger, he was imprisoned just like Tao Qian did with Zhang Zhao back then.

But Guan is a Quan Rou, the whole family is a famous family in Wu County, how can their family give up? So when Tao Ying attacked the city, Yan Yu sent soldiers and horses to the east, south and west gates, and the north gate was the most vulnerable defense, so the Quanrou people led nearly 200 people including family disciples to kill the north gate.

The defenders of the north gate were caught off guard, seeing so many people killed, and they were also local famous families, the generals guarding the north gate knew that under the siege of more than 30,000 troops of Tao Ying, Wuxi City would be broken sooner or later, especially after the general Zhou Tai was captured, so the north gate guards also surrendered.

After capturing the north gate, the people of the whole clan quickly went to the east gate to report to Tao Ying. At this time, it was Tao Ying's second brother Xu Sheng, who was responsible for attacking the east gate, Xu Sheng heard that someone had dedicated the north gate, and his heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly divided two thousand troops to attack Wuxi from the north gate. The soldiers from the north gate with the north gate guards together to kill the east gate, the east gate defenders saw that the north gate was broken, hurriedly withdrew, the soldiers opened the east gate, Xu Sheng led the troops into Wuxi City.

The two gates of Wuxi had been broken, and Yan Yu knew that he was powerless to return to the sky, so he hurriedly fled towards the north gate. The soldiers outside the north gate did not find Yan Yu in disguise, so they could only let him take advantage of the chaos to escape.

Xu Sheng killed the government from the east gate, and then surrounded the Yan mansion, and captured nearly 100 members of Yan Yu's family. The whole family also went to prison and released Quan Rou, who was on death row.

As soon as Yan Yu left, the generals who defended the city lost their backbone, and under the powerful attack of Tao Ying's army, many soldiers gave up guarding the gate and fled in all directions, and some soldiers put down their weapons and surrendered. After Tao Ying led the troops into the city, the soldiers who fled were still looting in the city, and the angry Tao Ying asked people to close the city gate and kill all the looting soldiers!

The four gates were closed, and the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou searched every house, and the Yanyu soldiers who were hiding in the chicken coop were all pulled out, and as long as they were harming the people, they were hacked to death on the spot. Tao Ying went out to Anmin, and asked people to look for Zhou Tai's whereabouts, and finally the soldiers learned from the soldiers that Zhou Tai was imprisoned in the salvage, Tao Ying heard the news, and hurriedly went to the prison to see Zhou Tai in person.

In prison, Tao Ying is not the first time to come. It's not the first time to fish for people in a prison, so Tao Ying especially wants to see the difference between this Wuxi prison and Pengcheng's prison.

In June, the city of Wuxi was extremely hot, the city of Wuxi was full of collapsed houses, soldiers walked back and forth on the roads, and it was not that any captured soldiers were pushed to the side of the road and beheaded. In the face of donating blood, Tao Ying didn't have the nausea he had for the first time, but instead pointed to the killed soldier and shouted: "Hey, you guys, how many times have you said it, it's easy to break out of the plague in hot weather, why do you kill people casually?" ”

The soldier hurriedly made a noise and set fire to the corpse.

The prison is in the northernmost part of Wuxi, and after walking for nearly half a pillar of incense, it is almost ten in the evening. When he was about to arrive at the prison, Tao Ying happened to meet a group of people who were surrounded by middle-aged people and went to the city. Min Zhuang was holding a sword in his hand, Tao Ying was a little curious, and Xu Sheng next to him hurriedly said: "Big brother, this is the whole clan who opened the north gate." ”

I saw a group of officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers surrounded a tall and white-skinned young man, and Tao Ying at this time had long since lost the childishness that he should have at his age.

The leader of the Quan clan, Quan Rou, who had just been released from prison, hurriedly walked out of the support of everyone, and said to Tao Yingyi: "Compared to this, this is the second son of Xuzhou!" Old man Quan Rou, thank you for saving the second son! ”

Tao Ying didn't know who Quan Rou was, but since he helped him lay down Wuxi City, how could he not be grateful? So, Tao Ying also hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "I want to thank Mr. Quan's family for their kindness!" The two of them chatted for a while, and Tao Ying knew that this old gentleman had actually been an official in the imperial court!

Looking around me, there is no one who has really been a big official! Now, I finally met someone who was an official in the imperial court, and Tao Ying suddenly thought that he would inevitably have to deal with the imperial court in the future, so why not let him take refuge in himself and then serve as an official of his own diplomatic court?

So after a few words of greeting, Tao Ying suddenly bowed down to Quan Rou: "Since Mr. can be a big official like Shangshu Ling Youcheng in the imperial court, although Guo Yan and others are harming the government, but under the release, they are all Han lands, why doesn't Mr. come to my Xuzhou as an official to serve the country?" ”

Tao Ying is under the banner of righteousness, although this Quan Rou lives in seclusion at home, he has heard of Tao Ying's reputation. Xuzhou under the governance of Tao Ying, is becoming stronger and stronger, and Tao Ying is invincible in the south and the north, even Kong Rong, Zhang Zhao, Lu Bu and other sages and generals have come to take refuge in him, since he has made an appointment, what can he say?

What's more, he can't just think about himself, there is a whole family behind him, and whether his descendants can get ahead in the future depends on himself! Let's take it as a way for them to explore, maybe they can persuade Tao Ying to sweep away Li Dao, Guo Yan and other rebels, save the emperor from fire and water, and he can still achieve the cause of glorifying his ancestors!

So after shirking twice, Quan Rou also joined Tao Ying's military horses. In order to show respect for this person who had been an official in the imperial court, and to recognize the family's contribution to Wuxi, Tao Ying asked Quan Rou to elect the family's talents to serve as the new Wuxi county magistrate.
