Chapter 87: Thunderball!
The landlords who were plotting suddenly heard that the enemy army was coming, and they were dumbfounded, and many of the landlords of the fort were angry: "The enemy is coming? How can it be? Are all the people in charge of the guard in the west dead? Why didn't anyone send a message? How could more than a thousand people appear quietly in front of them? ”
"Oh, what's the use of the head of the family saying this at this time? Let's find a way to escape! It is said that those who attacked came from the east! ”
"To the east? Isn't it the sea to the east? Can't they fly over? ”
Just as there was an argument in the hall, Yang Heizi broke in with someone, and when he saw that the room was full of rich and noble people wearing silk and satin, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he waved his big hand and said: "Grab them all for me, don't let any of them go." ”
"No!" Suddenly, a group of people like wolves and tigers went up and arrested the powerful family owners present. When they encounter resistance, they all fall to the ground.
Yang Heizi saw that the hostages were almost caught, and he didn't stay long, so he immediately turned around and left calmly with the army. After coming to the beach and escorting the captives to the boat, Yang Heizi took the remaining hundreds of people and went to Zhuqi County for reinforcements.
Because all the leaders were arrested, it directly caused a large-scale riot in Ganyu County, and the rebels and troops who lost their command scattered and fled, spreading the news of the loss of Ganyu all over the world.
"What? You repeat? After Sima Ao, who was sitting in Tan County, learned that the head of the powerful family in the east asked Wei Shuo to serve a pot, he suddenly collapsed to the ground, his face was full of shock, and he kept asking people to verify the truth of the news.
The person who came said with a depressed face: "Long history, this matter is true!" At that time, all the Haoqiang were gathering in Ganyu, but they were taken by the treacherous villain Wei Shuo, and I don't know what method he used, he actually concealed all the eyeliners along the way, and secretly transported a thousand elites to Ganyu City. ”
"The defenders in the city were suddenly attacked, and they couldn't stop the opponent's offensive at all, and they were suddenly beaten to the meeting place by the opponent's army, and all the powerful family owners were captured by the other party before they had time to react."
"How so? How so? Sima Ao muttered to himself with a blank expression, and until now he couldn't believe it was true. The distance between Ganyu County and Zhuqi County is not close, and if a large army is transferred from Zhuqi County, Sima Ao believes that his whereabouts will definitely not escape the surveillance of the eyeline along the way.
But now that the enemy has unknowingly touched the city, Sima Ao believes that either all the eyeliners have defected, or the so-called army has not been mobilized from Zhuqi County.
"Not good! Dock forts are in danger everywhere! Sima Ao suddenly thought that after losing the castle master, the dock forts would inevitably fall into a situation where the dragons were leaderless, and if he was Wei Shuo, he would never let go of the best opportunity to sweep away the dock forts right now.
"Quickly inform those powerful family members, let them strengthen their defenses to prevent Weishuo from raiding, and in addition, inform the garrison of Tan County to immediately move to the eastern Licheng to deter Zhu on the western border."
Unexpectedly, the person who came stood motionless with a wry smile on his face. Seeing this, Sima Ao suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, and he trembled and pointed at the person who came and said, "Could it be that Wei Shuo has already done it?" ”
The person nodded and said, "Yes, my lord, I got the news before the little one came over, as early as an hour ago, Wei Shuo had already sent seven or eight thousand troops, and the troops were divided into routes, all the way to sweep through the dock forts. Since the head of the family has fallen into the hands of Wei Shuo, the dock forts in various places are not well prepared and have fallen. ”
"I'm afraid that at this time, those so-called dock forts have long ceased to exist, and the grain and grass hoarded in the fort are afraid that they will all fall into Wei Shuo's pocket, and at this time, unless the two generals Wang and Zhao are allowed to dispatch the main army, they will not be able to prevent Wei Shuo from annexing the eastern coastal area."
After listening to the report of his confidant, Sima Ao looked defeated, although he still didn't admit it, but in his heart he had already decided that he would not be able to find Wei Shuo for revenge in this life. After occupying several counties in the eastern part of the East China Sea Kingdom, when they were completely digested, it was the time when Wei Shuo sent a large army to sweep away the Hu people.
At that time, it will not be the time for him to seek revenge on Wei Shuo, but for Wei Shuo to settle accounts with him!
"No, no, I will not admit defeat! The surname is Wei, this time you won, next time it won't be so easy. Sima Ao swore hatefully, in order to solve Wei Shuo, Sima Ao set his sights on Cao Wei in Qingzhou.
Wei Shuo, who was busy reaping the fruits of victory at this time, didn't know that Sima Ao was calculating him again, but even if he knew, he was afraid that he wouldn't take it to heart.
This raid achieved great results, not only uprooting the dense dock forts scattered around Zhuqi County, but also seizing a large amount of food and people. There are 300,000 stone of grain alone, a population of no less than 200,000, hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land, and a large amount of reclaimable wasteland, which greatly alleviates the land pressure brought about by the implementation of the land equalization order.
"My lord, these powerful families are really rich! The stolen grain and money are enough to cover the taxes of several surrounding counties for nearly ten years. No wonder the common people in the world have no food to eat and no money to spend, it turns out that the grain and copper coins are all in Haoqiang's house. Liang Qiu looked at the long list of trophies and couldn't help but sigh.
Wei Shuo sneered and said, "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road!" The wealthy family only cares about arrogance and luxury, how can they care about whether the people of the Shu nationality continue to live? All we do today is to break with the extremely irrational distribution of wealth in the past and re-transfer the wealth concentrated in the hands of the few to the many. ”
"If we take action like this a few more times, then we will really get rich!" Liang Qiu joked.
"Hehe, how can there be such a good thing in the world! For example, the landlord Haoqiang in the Central Plains has long been robbed by the Hu people, even if we restore the Central Plains in the future, not only will we not have anything to seize, but I am afraid that in order to restore the vitality of the Central Plains, we will have to invest a huge amount of money. ”
Wei Shuo unceremoniously punctured Liang Qiu's beautiful illusions, in his opinion, the reason why this operation captured a lot was mainly because the local heroes had not been robbed by the Hu people, and most of the family property was still there, which made Wei Shuo cheaper.
"By the way, Erlang, how are they going? Is there any movement in Sima Ao in the west? After reading the spoils of war, Wei Shuo paid attention to the war again.
"Lord Qiqi, Lord Zhang and Cao have already swept the dock forts in Qu and Ganyu counties, and now they are returning with the army, and Lord Yang and his reinforcements are monitoring every move of the Hu people in the west day and night. Presumably, Sima Ao didn't expect that our army's movements would be so fast that he couldn't react in any way. ”
"Well, it seems that we have taken the enemy by surprise this time! However, such a good thing is indispensable! In addition, the order was passed down to block any news of the naval army's participation in the battle, and the enemy must not be allowed to know the slightest information related to the landing battle. ”
"No! Your Majesty will arrange it! ”
As Wei Shuo expected, the battle went very smoothly, except for a few in the dock forts in various places, and most of the dock forts chose to surrender after learning that their family master had been captured. For the Haoqiang family who surrendered, Wei Shuo strictly forbade the people below to harass others. He had no intention of physically exterminating Haoqiang, he only wanted to get the much-needed food and population from Haoqiang.
As the two counties of Qu and Ganyu fell into the hands of Wei Shuo one after another, Haoqiang of Licheng County, located in the southwest, suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck. Originally, it was only with the alliance of the three powerful forces that he reluctantly confronted Wei Shuo, but now there is only one Licheng County left, and the heroes and powerhouses here feel like the sky has fallen.
When the desperate atmosphere in the city reached its peak, Cao Hong was once again ordered to step into the city. Cao Hong looked at the market that was much lower than before, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: "I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place!" ”
This time, Cao Hong was ordered to come and surrender, which was completely different from the treatment he received when he first came. At first, almost no one paid attention to him, but this time not only did the head of the powerful family in the county come to greet him, but also held a grand welcome banquet for him.
At the banquet, Cao Hong was blunt and informed Wei Shuo's request to the head of the Haoqiang family present, although everyone's faces were very ugly, no one dared to refuse directly, and no one dared to show Cao Hong's face. Seeing Haoqiang's performance like this, Cao Hong was even more disappointed, Haoqiang is really a group of people who are fierce and inward!
