Xiling City, inside Jiang Wan's yamen.

Jiang Wan sat in the hall with a solemn expression, and below him were Gong Cao Jiao Xiang and some small officials.

Liu Feng dispatched almost all the defenders of Xiling City to the front line. It is also because Changsha is now in hand, there is no enemy in the south, Xiakou is in the hands of Ganning, and there is no enemy in the west. Huang Zhong in the east and Liu Feng in the north.

It can be said that there are heavy troops on all sides. So Liu Feng sent all the defenders to the north. In order not to defeat Cao Ren or anything, Liu Feng just wanted to use the largest soldiers to camp in Liucheng and wait for the fire bull array to defeat Cao Ren.

The whole army went out and plundered the population.

But this does not mean that Liu Feng did not arrange a defensive force in Xiling City.

When going out of the city, Liu Feng once took Jiang Wan's hand and said with a smile: "Gongyan guards the city, I don't worry." ”

remembered Liu Feng's appearance when he went out of the city and held his hand. A blood rose in Jiang Wan's heart, there are almost no defenders in Xiling City now, but Liu Feng still believes that when something happens, Jiang Wan alone can solve all the troubles.

That's a lot of trust.

As for the so-called trouble, Liu Feng did not say it explicitly, but Jiang Wan, who received Jiangxia from the hands of the Yi nationality for three months, was very clear.

Liu Feng has been killing Huang Zu and ruling Jiangxia for several months. Starting from Iraq, killing corrupt officials and corrupt officials, winning the hearts of the people, to Liu Feng's defeat of Zhou Yu, reporting to the people of Jiangxia, and being attacked by Jiangdong for many years.

Liu Feng's prestige in Jiangxia is very high, very high, unimaginably high for ordinary people.

However, Liu Feng ruled Jiangxia, and there were still some troubles, and the troubles in the shadows were the local powerful forces in Jiangxia.

When Liu Feng first entered Jiangxia, in order to stabilize people's hearts, he did not take action against these forces. When Liu Feng had the ability and prestige rose, these Jiangxia local forces all shrank again.

The heroes did not come forward. Liu Feng didn't find a chance to clean up these forces. Eliminate hidden dangers.

In addition to the fact that these local forces are strong and loyal, it is impossible to guess. Liu Feng also coveted the number of tenants owned by these forces.

Changsha County, Luo County. The Kou clan alone has thousands of tenants. The big tycoons in a county in Jiangxia, and the tenants owned by each tyrant are huge.

These tenants were not required to pay official taxes to Jiangxia Taishou. They are invisible, accountable only to their own masters.

Therefore, don't look at the fact that the population of Jiangxia is only 100,000, in fact, the real population may exceed 150,000. But none of these populations are recorded. It's the invisible population.

If you can eliminate those powerful people in one fell swoop, you can increase the number of people who can pay taxes all of a sudden, tens of thousands of people. Liu Feng's coveting of these populations is incomparably huge.

Therefore, Liu Feng transferred almost all the defenders of Xiling City.

In other words, it's to make those heroes ready to move. And the specific executor is Jiang Wan.

Cao Ren said that Liu Feng didn't understand the rule of officials is a joke. Liu Feng was able to lead the army against Cao Ren, and on the one hand, he still had the courage to take advantage of this wind direction to forcefully suppress Jiangxia Haoqiang. Continue to consolidate your power.

It shows that Liu Fengnai is a man who has courage, can make up his mind, and can also raise the butcher's knife.

"Report to the lord, the spies have sent back the news, the three surnames of Jiangxia, Chen, Feng, and Meng, the respective patriarchs of the family, with a thousand house slaves, gathered towards the east of the city." Suddenly, a soldier hurriedly entered the yamen to report.

Jiang Wan could guess Liu Feng's thoughts, but the rest couldn't. As soon as the officials present heard the news, their colors immediately changed. Lost his voice: "What? ”

Even Jiao Xiang, who has always been calm, was stunned.

In the city, there may be less than 100 soldiers who can be used, but the other side has 3,000 people.

"I don't know if it was Cao Ren who did it, or if these three surnames wanted to capture Xiling and go to Cao Ying to ask for credit." Jiang Wan smiled in his heart, very calm.

"Lord Jiao." Calm in his heart, Jiang Wan looked up at Jiao Xiangdao.

"What do you command?" Although Jiao Xiang was stunned, he was also the calmest among the officials present, and he said quickly when he heard this.

"You go and see Madame, and ask Madame to give an order to dispatch fifty guards from the Taishou Mansion to gather in the east of the city." Jiang Wan calmly commanded.

"No." Although Jiao Xiang didn't know what Jiang Wan was going to do, he also quickly agreed. And immediately turned around and walked out of the hall and went to the Taishou Mansion to carry out Jiang Wan's order.

"You also go and draw the yamen in the city, the guards and guards in the general's palace. Gather in the east of the city. After Jiao Xiang left, Jiang Wan glanced at the officials present and said in an unquestionable tone.

"No." Jiang Wan is a person who can naturally calm the scene, he is calm, his majesty quickly calmed down the officials at this moment, and they all responded in unison, and they all went out to carry out Jiang Wan's orders.

The lord trusts his subordinates, and the subordinates will relieve the lord's worries.

"Don't worry, my lord, when you return to the army, the three surnames have died, and the population will increase by tens of thousands." After everyone left, Jiang Wan stood up slowly, headed towards the north, and bent over with his fists.

After a bow, Jiang Wan got up and walked out.

He didn't go to the east of the city, or anywhere else. It's the treasury.

Just when Jiang Wan was stepping up his preparations, three thousand house slaves from three parties in the east of the city were also gathered.

These house slaves did not even have uniform clothes, but some of them had a spear in their hands, and in addition to that, some of them held strong bows.

The momentum is not very good, but the gathering of 3,000 people is enough to make people desperate.

At present, Xiling City, there are less than 100 guards. Under the menacing attack of 3,000 people, how can you not despair?

At the front of the three thousand house slaves, there are men who are either rich or noble in terms of clothing and temperament.

One was about forty years old, somewhat thin, but his eyes glistened with cold. This is the patriarch of the Chen clan in the three surnames of Jiangxia, Chen Zhi.

The other was a man of about thirty years old, with an extraordinary face and an innate pride on his face. This is the three surnames, the head of the Feng clan, and the wind law.

The last one is naturally the patriarch of the Meng clan, Meng Luo. He is also about thirty years old, and he looks very strong.

"This city has been operated by Huang Zu for more than ten years, and now it is reinforced and operated by Liu Feng. It's a pity to burn it down. Feng Fa, who was naturally arrogant, looked at the city in front of him, with a greedy gaze in his eyes.

"Gan Ning in the west, Huang Zhong in the east. Gan Ning can reach Xiling in a few hours, and Huang Zhong can also reach Xiling in one or two. Don't think that you can take this city for yourself, or according to General Cao's wishes, after taking this city, you will burn it with fire. Chen Zhi was dissatisfied with the greed of the wind law.

According to Cao Ren's meaning, they only need to lead their slaves to attack Xiling, and then burn it down. Let Liu Fengjun, who is in Jiangbei, shake the army's heart, just do it, and there is no need to fight Gan Ning and Huang Zhong to the death.

This is also the reason why the three agreed to send troops. As long as you exert a little strength, you can report on Cao Gong's thighs, and whoever doesn't do it is a fool.

"I think so, too. Gan Ning, Huang Zhong is not easy to mess with. Meng Luo seems to be strong, but in fact, he is the most cautious, and nodded when he heard the words.

The rhetoric of the two reminded Fengfa of Gan Ning and Huang Zhong, who were famous in Jiangxia. It also made Fengfa slightly restrain the greed in his heart.

"Alright, it's almost time. Siege according to the plan. Otherwise, it would have been time to wait for Gan Ning. After the three of them continued to talk for a while, Chen Zhi looked at the sky, calculated the distance between Xiakou and Xiling, where Gan Ning was located, and said in a deep voice.

"Okay, attack the city according to the plan." Meng Luo, Feng Fa had no objections, and nodded in unison.

"Thief Liu Feng, delicious beef. Eat ten heads a day, and a thousand heads in March. ”

"Thief Liu Feng, delicious beef. Eat ten heads a day, and a thousand heads in March. ”

Under the command of the three of them, the three thousand house slaves shouted in unison and slowly marched towards Xiling City.

Three thousand people shouted in unison, and the entire Xiling City could be heard clearly. Hundreds of people changed color, Liu Feng recruited cattle, and Jiangxia knew it.

The banner was used to recruit the army and use it. But I didn't expect to eat it. It's appalling.

"Hmph, it's really a small insect carving skill set up by Cao Ren." At the east gate of the city, Jiang Wan was wearing a military uniform and a sword hanging from his waist. Listening to the words that resounded through the sky, Jiang Wan snorted coldly.

The design is full of favors, which is commanded by Jiang Wan, and Jiang Wan knows the inside story best. It's just to deceive Manpet, and the rest of the people who know about it are under house arrest.

No one will spread the news, and the only one who can spread this kind of news is Cao Ren.

At this moment, at the east gate of the city, in addition to Jiang Wan, there are about a hundred soldiers, of which fifty are the guards of the Taishou Mansion, all of them are strong and powerful.

Of the rest, ten were Huang Zhong's retainers. The last forty people are the guards of the various yamen.

These people, except for the guards of the Taishou Mansion and Huang Zhong's retainers, the rest of the people heard the shouts outside the city, and their faces changed slightly.

Obviously, the shouting outside the city gate still had some effect. But Jiang Wan didn't care.

Jiang Wan turned his head to look at his side, Jiao Xiang was standing next to him, and in addition, there were more than a hundred people next to him. and boxes stacked on the ground.

"Hmm." Jiang Wan glanced at Jiao Xiang, and Jiao Xiang understood. Immediately ordered the men to open the box.

When the boxes were opened one by one, the faces and expressions of the hundred people in front of Jiang Wan changed. Even if it is a thousand choices, the guards of Liu Fengtai's mansion are all in a trance.

Because, inside the boxes, they are full of gold. Yellow gold.

"You are an army, and outside the city gates, there is just a bunch of house slaves. It's easy to beat them. "Looking at the hundred soldiers whose expressions have changed more or less. Jiang Wan smiled and said loudly.

For Jiang Wan's words, some natural feelings rose in the hearts of the soldiers. The superiority of the regular army rose in their hearts.

"I don't want to say more about whether the lord eats beef or not. I will tell you now, there are three thousand gold here. As long as you can kill the group of house slaves outside the city, you can take as much gold as you can here. Jiang Wan saw that the atmosphere had gradually become warmer, and couldn't help but give a heavy reward loudly.

When Jiang Wan said this, the eyes of the hundred soldiers began to glow. But Jiang Wan still felt that it was not enough.

"Most of you are Jiangxia people, you should know how rich the three surnames of Jiangxia are, they have tens of thousands of tenants and countless fertile land. Gold and silver, money. If you can defeat them, I will allow each of you to receive two hundred acres of land, divided into ten tenants. In the same way, you can grab as much of their gold and silver treasures as you can. Jiang Wan shouted loudly and made a killer move.

The three surnames of Jiangxia are all heroic and strong with a long heritage. Almost all the people of Jiangxia know these three surnames like thunder, and they also have an amazing understanding of their wealth.

Jiang Wan not only gave out the gold himself, but also allowed them to rob the property of the three surnames. After the victory, there were no two hundred acres of land and ten tenants.

It is equivalent to making them transform into a little strong man who is rich, has land, and is a domestic slave.

The gazes of the soldiers became very sharp one by one. There is a kind of fiery fire of throwing one's head and spilling blood to fight for wealth.

It can be said that Jiang Wan's words and these means twisted this group of soldiers who were put together into a rope. It has formed a momentum that can be compared to the elite.

Although it was only short-lived, it was enough to think about dealing with three thousand house slaves and breaking Cao Ren's carving insect skills.

"Open the gates." Jiang Wan smiled confidently in his heart, with a serious expression on his face, he pulled out the long sword at his waist, raised his head and shouted.

With a loud bang, the suspension bridge of the city was lowered and the gate was opened.

This loud noise made Chen Zhi, who was commanding the house slaves to advance slowly outside the city, and Meng Luo was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed.

Because they thought that the few defenders of the city, under their strong position, Kaesong had surrendered.

The three of them glanced at each other, and they all saw the joy in each other's eyes. It's nice to be able to fight without blood.

But at this time, a hundred greatly stimulated soldiers rushed out of the city gate in unison, "Kill." With a roar comparable to that of thousands of troops, he killed three thousand house slaves.

Under Jiang Wan's means, in a short period of time, he changed from a miscellaneous army to an elite hundred soldiers among the elites, and almost in an instant, he killed 3,000 slaves on their backs.

The next moment, the rout began.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. There are few of them, but there are many of us, and we are many of us. In the midst of the chaos, Chen Zhi was almost stunned, but his reaction was quite quick, and he let out a terrible cry to try to stabilize the house slaves.

But house slaves are not an army after all, although they are obedient, they have no military discipline. At this moment, no one paid attention to Chen Zhi and rushed to escape.

For them, the hundred soldiers who exude a raging spirit are almost the devil.

"Ahh That arrogant, unusually greedy for Xiling City, in the chaos of the army, panicked and fled, fell to the ground, and trampled to death without countless of his own house slaves.

"Flutter." The seemingly strong Meng Luo, because of his slow escape, was killed on the spot by one of the 100 soldiers. Separation of manpower.

At the head of the city, Jiang Wan and Jiao Xiang stood side by side. When the gates were wide open, the two went up to the city walls to watch the battle.

When I saw that there were 3,000 house slaves, a hundred soldiers who were put together by a hundred Jiang Wandong, they were killed all the way.

Jiao Xiang couldn't help but feel a strong belief in Jiang Wan, and raised his fist and said, "Lord Jiang is really a good means. ”

"Hehe, it's just a small skill of carving insects." Jiang Wan smiled slightly, disapprovingly. Suddenly, Jiang Wan said again: "However, this little strategy to break Cao Ren is still enough." ”

"Huh." Jiao Xiang smiled. But I don't think so in my heart, with a ragtag army of 100 people, I dare to fight against 3,000 people, how can a person who has no courage and no self-confidence do such a feat?

Others don't know, but Jiao Xiang knows that if he is put in Jiang Wan's position, he must close the city gate and gather all living forces to defend the city.

On the other side, send someone to ask Gan Ning to come to help.

It is impossible to do such a feat as attacking 3,000 with a hundred men.

While Jiao Xiang was convinced by Jiang Wan, he also had a strong awe for Liu Feng. Jiang Wan is a masterpiece, and Liu Feng, who can use Jiang Wan and trust Jiang Wan, is even more of a masterpiece among talents.
