The torches on the top of the city were bright, but there was no sound, only the roar carried the momentum of wind and thunder, and the angry tide hit the city wall.

There is no fighting spirit.

Ordinary soldiers actually didn't know the result of the battle in Fulong Valley, Wang Yu came too quickly, and even the spies of the powerful people worked hard to grab an afternoon, and the news didn't have time to spread.

But the soldiers of the county are all locals and are very familiar with the surrounding geography.

Although Tancheng is located in the plain, the Maling Mountain in the east is the remnant of the Yimeng Mountain, extending from the Maling Mountain to the east and north, it is a continuous hilly area, which is not suitable for the passage of large armies, especially cavalry. Therefore, Wang Yu sent Zhang Jaw to attack Langya, occupying Chengyang and Dongguan, and the southern territory was already bordering the East China Sea, so it did not cause much reaction in Xuzhou.

Although the terrain to the west is flat, the distance to go around is much longer. Wang Yu's cavalry came from the north, and they took the most common and dangerous road. Looking at the appearance of the Qingzhou cavalry, it doesn't look like it has just escaped from Zang Ba's encirclement and interception......

Therefore, although I don't know exactly what happened in Langya, the momentum of eliminating the other is clear at a glance - the Taishan thieves have either shrunk or been defeated.

When they came to Xuzhou, the soldiers were not very enthusiastic about fighting with the Qingzhou army, and at this moment, it was like a storm swept in, and the last bit of fighting spirit was extinguished like a candle in the wind, replaced by a bone-chilling cold due to fear!

"Tao ...... Tao Yuanjun is seriously ill and can't be a director, how can he be invited? In recent years, General Wang, you have flaunted your achievements in Hebei and the Central Plains, but there is no power behind my Xuzhou fathers to pay money and food! Now Tao Yuanjun is seriously ill, but General Wang has violated my border for no reason, if it is spread out, are you not afraid that your reputation will be wasted? ”

Xu Fang was actually worried in his heart. But at this time, he didn't go up, and no one else could help.

Don't look at Chen Hanyu's old fox who contributed to Zhang Min's incident, but it would be stupid to expect him to come forward and fight Wang Yu. The father and son's favorite thing is to hide in the shadows, the old ones are so, and the younger ones are even more powerful!

Finally, his qi cultivation kung fu was not bad, and after saying a few words, his stiff tongue began to recover and became flexible. I only heard him say eloquently: "Tao Yuanjun has always thought that the general is the pillar of the Han Dynasty in the past, so when Xuzhou was stormy, he still cut back on food and clothing, delivered money and grain to Qingzhou, and heard about General Wang's good news. They are all so excited that they are running to tell each other, and this kind of intention cannot be described as insincere and ......"

As he spoke, he changed his words to a distressed tone: "Who wants to ...... Alas, people's hearts are insufficient, and they disregard kindness and righteousness, and the ancients ridiculed them with Zhongshan wolves. Fang read the allusion, and he still didn't believe it in his heart, but when he saw it today, it was ...... People's hearts are not ancient, and my way is lonely! ”

While sighing. While buttoning a big hat to Wang Yu's head, the defenders at the head of the city heard this, and began to doubt in their hearts, and the hand holding the weapon tightened unconsciously.

Zhuge Liang in the city was also angry when he heard it. As soon as you look up, you will sneer at each other.

If Wang Yu really wants to seize Xuzhou, there is a chance. With the combat strength of the Qingzhou Army, if he didn't go to Hebei to help the war, he took advantage of Gongsun Zhan to contain Yuan Shao, and at the moment of civil strife in Xuzhou, he would have moved south, who would have stopped him?

To be honest, now that Xuzhou is in chaos like this, how much benefit can the Qingzhou army get by going south? Xu Fang's words sounded heart-wrenching, but the rebuttal couldn't be simpler, just like the owl in the fable that caught a dead mouse and was worried about the Kunpeng that had soared for nine days, for fear that the other party would come to take it.

Zhuge Liang's rebuttal could not be spoken, as he was stopped by Zhao Yun, who made a silent gesture to him, and then pointed at Wang Yu.

"Who are you?" Of course, Wang Yu could hear the meaning of Xu Fang's words, but he didn't defend himself, he just raised his voice to ask.

"Long history Xu Fang." Xu Fang knew that he couldn't hide it, and there was no need to hide it, so he replied calmly.

Wang Yu nodded, and went back with a hat on his backhand: "I see, taking advantage of Tao Gong's serious illness, gathering people to conspire, and plotting against each other is to take you as the leader?" ”

"Hu ...... Sling the bull! Xu Fang felt caught off guard.

According to his thoughts, for the sake of fame, Wang Yu should explain the reason for this southward trip, so as to correct his name and shake the hearts of the soldiers in the city. And Tao Qian invited Wang Yu to go south, not to send an envoy, but to let Zhang Ning bring a message, and the insiders in Xuzhou were just a few people including himself, Xiao Jian, and Cao Hong, and Wang Yu had no way to prove it.

When the verbal lawsuit started, the momentum of the Qingzhou army to win the situation was gone. Even if Wang Yu and the staff he brought with him were eloquent and eloquent, as long as they ensured that no one opened the city gate, they would win, even if Zhang Yi and Su Qin were resurrected, how could they help themselves?

Who would have thought that Wang Yu not only likes to surprise when fighting, but also has the effect of attacking people when he speaks and answers.

"You yourself said that the Qingxu family is in the same breath, and they will be famous for a long time, and they are not villains who take advantage of people's danger, in this case, why do you put on that posture like a great enemy? There are only five hundred light cavalry guards around you, the army has not crossed the border, there are thousands of men and horses in the city, but you are worried that you will enter the city to meet with Tao Gong, this is not a thief? ”

Knowing the changes in Xiapi, Wang Yu had already been fully mentally prepared for the obstacles encountered by this guild.

Xuzhou, no, it should be said that it is the world's strong and powerful, and it will not have a good impression of the Qingzhou New Deal that emphasizes justice, just like the decree of the property publicity in later generations has been noisy for a long time, but it has not been implemented for a long time, and the privileged class must have resisted a lot of the decree to cut off the privilege.

Pingding Qingzhou did not encounter this obstacle, because Qingzhou's heroes died and fled, even if there were those who survived, most of them experienced the pain of their wives being separated and their families ruined, and they no longer had the arrogance they had before. Guan Ning, a famous scholar who is now teaching in the academy, belongs to this list.

Speaking of which, Guan Ning and Guan Hai have also fought a lot of lawsuits because of this. It was Guan Hai's thief army that broke through Zhu Xucheng at the beginning, and Guan Hai himself robbed Guan Ning's daughter, and after the two of them returned to Wang Yu's command, Guan Ning naturally didn't have a good face to show Guan Hai. Fortunately, in the end, the enemy family became the in-laws, and Guan Hai, the thief, became Guan Ning's hairy son-in-law, which opened Wang Yu's eyes.

This matter is off-topic, but Wang Yu encountered trouble in the process of implementing the new policy in Qingzhou. That's the most serious thing, and it's not an exaggeration to say that it's all smooth sailing.

Jizhou is a little more troublesome, but it is not too bothering.

The most determined diehards either ended up in the war, or fled south after the victory and defeat in the Gaotang War. Although the remaining Haoqiang did not have a good impression of Qingzhou's new policy, for the sake of his family and life, he also accepted it half-pushed.

Subtly so far, there are many people like Zhuge Liang. I think Qingzhou's system is not bad. The main weakening of Qingzhou's new policy is the kind of big family that has a huge power that can influence the political affairs of counties and even a state, and ordinary heroes have not been affected much.

As Zhuge Liang once said, the so-called Haoqiang. In fact, most of them are also some ordinary families, through the hard work and accumulation of several generations, so that the family prospered, if Wang Yu treats all the heroes and strong equally, he will definitely fall into the situation of being the enemy of the whole world in the end.

Even if you benefit from the New Deal, you will actually embark on the road of being strong and strong, after all, people work hard. It's about living a better life.

Therefore, Qingzhou's new policy strategy for Haoqiang has also been adjusted, and over time, people of insight in the world will be able to do so. I can still tell the difference. This is also one of the main purposes of post-war recuperation.

However, no matter how you adjust it, you will always have some powerful enemies erected as a result. For example, the shouting Xu Fang in the city, and Chen Qi and his son.

The former's family business is East China Sea. Before, even the Mi family, a huge rich family and a local snake, had to rely on its nose. Only by looking at his face can he be unharmed, which shows the huge power of his power.

The latter rarely shows mountain dew, and it seems completely harmless on the surface, but in fact, the Guangling Chen family is the local emperor of the soil, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a matter of words.

It is easy to subdue the Chen family's father and son, as long as the status and interests of the Chen family in Guangling are guaranteed, they will get the allegiance of the Chen family. Of course, there are limits to this allegiance, because many people can make similar commitments, left and right, and grow in the cracks, which is the caretaker of these century-old families.

Therefore, Wang Yu did not have much expectations for Xuzhou at the beginning, but resolutely went north to compete with Yuan Shao, who was many times stronger. He knows very well that if he really takes charge of Xuzhou, he is likely to fall into the predicament of Lu Bu and Liu Bei in history, and finally be played by these local tyrants, and finally collapse under internal and external troubles.

He had already expected Xu Fang's appearance, and he didn't entangle his tongue at all, and directly retaliated with a tooth for a tooth.

"If you don't have a weak heart, why don't you open the door?" Zhuge Liang grasped the right time this time, as soon as Wang Yu's voice fell, he immediately followed up and took the lead in shouting.

"If you don't have a weak heart, why don't you open the door? Neither weak-hearted......" The five hundred cavalry questioned in unison, the momentum did not decrease but increased, and in the slightly cold spring night, Xu Fang was sweating profusely.

He was a little flustered, and he began to regret it, he felt that he shouldn't have taken the initiative to show up to answer at all, and now he can't steal chickens, and he can't eat rice.

The question asked by the other party is difficult to refute, because the logic is too simple, and if you want to refute the simple questioning with logic, you have to use the same way, but Wang Yu's side has the first hand, and it will be more difficult for Xu Fang to fight back.

Why did you have 5,000 troops, but you didn't dare to let the 500 people from outside enter the city? Nonsense, don't dare! There are more than 5,000 Taishan thieves, and their combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of the county soldiers, so they were destroyed silently without even stirring up a drift? They didn't even reach the minimum goal of delaying Wang Yu's trip......

But can this be said openly?

"And let you be arrogant for a while, I will only strictly guard the gate, but it depends on how you fly into the city." There was no way to refute it, so he simply gave up, Xu Fang stopped talking, and let the morale of the Qingzhou army rise and the morale of the defenders was low, just gritting his teeth and whispering ruthlessly.

He made adjustments again, and gathered all the private soldiers and generals near the city gate, and guarded them strictly, as long as the city gate could not be opened, even if someone wavered, there was no need to worry.

The city fell silent, and the Qingzhou army repeatedly questioned several times before stopping. Zhuge Liang said with a worried face: "It's not a way to go on like this, our army can't enter the city, and the longer the delay, the more dangerous it will be." ”

Zhangjaw's 8,000 soldiers and horses were scattered in several directions, and only the 2,000 men of the battalion that had been stationed in Dong'an could follow up in time. And Xu Huang's troops stationed in Fei County were purely planned.

In other words, in the short term, there are only 3,000 Qingzhou troops that can enter the territory of the East China Sea. And since Xu Fang dared to stand up, it means that Cao Bao has made the final decision, and if a war starts in the Tancheng area, it will be very unfavorable to the Qingzhou army.

There was such a big noise here at the north gate, and there was no movement in the city, and it was obvious that Tao Qian could not do anything about it. The momentum can deter the enemy, but after all, it can't open the city gate, unless Wang Yu has something to do, otherwise this trip is ...... It can only end in failure.

"Kong Ming, sometimes, you think about the problem too complicated." Taking advantage of the last afterglow of the sunset, Wang Yu looked at the melancholy on Zhuge Liang's face and smiled: "You must think that I should prepare for the seizure of the door in advance, and then wait for the follow-up soldiers and horses to come, and then go south, it is more secure, right?" ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and shook his head again. Nodding his head was because Wang Yu had said what he was thinking, and shaking his head because he didn't quite understand what Wang Yu meant.

"Actually, a lot of questions, sometimes very simple." Wang Yu smiled, cast his eyes on Tancheng again, looked at the towering figure of the city in the twilight, and said leisurely: "Tao Gong invited me to come, I came, since he invited me to come, naturally he will not even open the door, because he is Tao Gongzu!" ”

As if as a footnote to Wang Yu's words, as soon as the words fell, the change in the city was steep!
