Chapter 1233: Xindu Falls
After giving Tian Fengtuo a lonely explanation, Yuan Shao fell asleep again, and anyone could see that Yuan Shao's time was running out.
Everyone exited the room where Yuan Shao was, and Tian Feng immediately ordered Yan Liang: "General Gongji, now that the situation is special, immediately block the inner city, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without my order." In addition, General Towen led the army to guard the city lord's mansion and surround the lord's safety. ”
"The last general commands!"
Yan Liang solemnly hugged his fists and said loudly.
Tian Feng nodded, then glanced at the judge, Guo Tu and the others intentionally or unintentionally, and then added: "No one can violate the military order, and those who disobey will be asked to kill the general!" ”
"The last general understands!"
Yan Liang nodded knowingly, and shouted again.
The faces of several people changed slightly, but Qi Qi was silent and did not say too much.
At this moment, Shang Ji was no longer Yuan Shao's main threat. Even if Shang Ji broke through Xindu and captured all the Yuan family, Yuan Shao was not worried about his life.
Whether it was from the perspective of appeasing people's hearts, or Shang Ji's consistent ethics and habits, Yuan Shao did not believe that he would do anything to destroy the Yuan family. On the contrary, as Yuan Shao fell ill, those wealthy families in Yuan Shao's army posed a greater threat to him!
Yuan Shao was able to replace Han Fu without blood, known as the lord of Jizhou, and the help of the wealthy family accounted for most of the credit. In other words, the master of Jizhou is not Jizhou Mu, but the "alliance leader" elected by the family.
Han Fu was not in the interests of the wealthy family, and then he was replaced by Yuan Shao, but now Yuan Shao's core interests also diverged and conflicted with the family in Jizhou.
Today, Yuan Shao has long lost hope of turning defeat into victory. His greatest wish is to preserve the inheritance of the Yuan family and keep the safety of his own bloodline. This is his core interest at this time.
And the core interest of the Jizhou family is not to let Shang Ji enter Jizhou, otherwise Shang Ji will copy what he did in Qingzhou in Jizhou, and all the wealthy families will become bullshit!
As a result, there is an irreconcilable contradiction between the core interests of Yuan Shao and the family.
Yuan Shao wanted to save the lives of Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and others, and the most reliable way was to stop the confrontation with Shang Ji and take the initiative to surrender.
But the family resolutely disagreed, although they also knew that the momentum of the Shang family was almost unstoppable, but as the saying goes, if you don't see the coffin, you don't cry, and before the knife falls to the neck, almost all the wealthy families will not give up resistance, especially when the Shang Ji directly digs the foundation of the wealthy family!
In fact, a very important reason why Shang Ji has not yet reached Xindu is the fierce resistance of the wealthy families along the way.
The prosperity of the Jizhou family is far from being comparable to other regions. Wu Forts are dotted all over the land of Jizhou, and the wealthy families have the habit of raising dead soldiers and recruiting private soldiers.
These dead soldiers and private soldiers were not numerous, but they were generally very strong in combat and well-equipped, and together with those strong Wu forts, they caused great trouble to the Shang army.
In order to settle these troubles, Shang Ji can be said to have used all the means at his disposal.
Shadow-clad secret martial arts assassinated the die-hard resistants, Thousand Illusions and the Special Operations Division drew divisions, Flying Phoenix Fire Rider high-altitude lightning sniped, and war puppets were forcibly demolished head-on............
The Shang army dismantled it very quickly, but there were too many things in Wubao, even to the point that there was an average of one in each township, and the overall progress was not optimistic.
What annoyed Shang Ji even more was that the tenants of the wealthy families in Wubao, or the serfs, did not support him as he imagined.
Under the smear of the Jizhou family for many years, the image of Shang Ji among the low-level people in Jizhou is not optimistic, they describe Shang Ji as a big devil who has to take ten baby hearts to drink every meal, and the Shang Ji army is a bandit army that burns and loots all kinds of evil in the mouth of the wealthy family.
The rebellion from the bottom made Shang Ji very angry, and the most direct result was to increase the purge of the wealthy family.
The wealthy families of Wuyuan, Shuzhou, Dongpingshu, and Gaoyang counties were unlucky, and all the families who participated in the resistance were executed after the defeat of Wubao.
With this order was given tens of thousands of tumbling heads.
For a while, the whole world was quiet, and they were all shocked by Shang Ji's ruthless methods.
Human life is worthless in troubled times, and millions of casualties are often injured in a big war. However, you must know that Shang Ji killed the children of the wealthy family this time, and among the children of these families, there are many outstanding heroes, and there are even famous talents.
In this era, the family is qualified to be called a person, and the others are all Qiantou, straw, and gangsters!
You must know that when the forced relocation order was implemented in Youzhou and Bingzhou, only some of the rebels were executed in a targeted manner, and the degree of tyranny was far worse than this.
But then again, although this time brought a lot of infamy to Shang Ji, but the effect was surprisingly good, Shang Ji brandished a butcher knife and issued a [Soldier Order], that is, all the families in Jizhou, one person participated in the resistance, the whole family was connected, and where the Shang Ji army flag passed, stop any soldiers, otherwise they will be punished as a rebellion!
Tens of thousands of people told people that the [Soldier Order] was not a joke, and that the merchants had the ability and determination to carry it out.
Sensing Shang Ji's determination, many wealthy families suddenly relented and took the initiative to give up resistance, and the speed of the Shang Ji army to clean up the hidden dangers in the rear suddenly increased several times.
Soon, when a large force was cleaning up the Hao Clan's Wu Fort, a small group of pioneers of the Shang Army arrived at the city of Xindu.
At this time, the atmosphere in Xindu City was very strange, Yuan Shao could no longer look at things, and the military and political power was theoretically entrusted to Tian Feng. Ke Tian Feng didn't care about the defense of Xindu City at all, and focused on strengthening his control over the inner city.
Wen Chou was even more guarded in the city lord's mansion twenty-four hours a day, almost protecting Yuan Shao every step of the way.
Guo Tu and others silently took over the defense of the outer city, and frantically installed the children of the family in the army, and all the people of Yuan Shao's family were sent out.
It can be said that at this time, the inner city and the outer city were already two completely different spheres of influence. The outer city has become a pure family alliance, and the inner city is the force loyal to Yuan Shao's person.
During the period, the two major forces clashed, and the family alliance rushed into the city, hijacked Yuan Shao or Yuan Xi, and continued to fight against Shang Ji in the name of Yuan Shao, but Tian Feng was not a vegetarian, and the Yuan Shao diehard faction led by Yan Liang taught them a hard lesson, breaking the idea of the family alliance to snatch Yuan Shao.
Under this strange confrontation, the main force of 500,000 pioneers led by Shang Ji personally arrived at the city of Xindu.
Then, Shinto Castle was breached!
Yes, it was so sudden, even the diehards who had done a desperate blow didn't react, the city wall collapsed at the main gate in the north of Xindu City, and the First Legion of the Praetorian Guard came in with a single horse, two million improvised patchwork together, well-equipped (the family spent a lot of money and took out a lot of family treasures to arm the army), the morale was low, and the army that lacked training was about to collapse.
The Five Elements Legion, the most expensive and powerful legion of the Shang Army, has struck.
5,000 earth-based Taoists, 3,000 water-based Taoists, and 3,000 wind-based Taoists jointly cast a compound super-forbidden spell spell - the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, directly collapsing the walls of Xindu City!
