The battle of Ximen was still in full swing, and the casualties on both sides were heavy, especially the army of Taoyuan Town on the attacking side, if it were not for the cover of catapults, the attack would not have lasted that long. However, Wang Hao at this moment was extremely relaxed, and after receiving the news that the town had been successful, he decisively ordered to stop the attack.

The sky finally stopped falling at any time, and the defenders at the head of the city couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, although they didn't know why the commander of Taoyuan Town withdrew his troops at the critical moment, but it was always a good thing to be able to live without fighting desperately. However, it did not take long for them to understand why the enemy had withdrawn at this time, for they had all seen their own generals coming from the center of the town being held hostage.

"Open the door!"

Jin Yi gave the order, but no one moved.

It's no wonder that after such a fierce battle just now, nearly half of the rebels were killed and wounded, and it was hard to hold until now, and they actually opened the door to let the enemy in, and no one could get by.

Seeing this, the tun chief tightened the knife on Jin Yi's neck again, so frightened that Jin Yi hurriedly shouted again: "Do you hear it, hurry up and open the door!" That's an order! ”

Another order was given, and the rebel soldiers slowly opened the city gate, and there was no way to fight this battle anymore, even if they were aggrieved.

Wang Hao, who had already known the news, took the lead in bringing the army into the town, quickly surrendered all the remaining rebel weapons, and accepted the defense of Ximen by the way.

At this time, there were still many rebels in the town who did not know that the Lord was captured, and although the fighting had stopped in the two main battlefields, the small friction in other places did not stop. On the one hand, Wang Hao led people to the town hall to take over, and on the other hand, he took Jin Yi along the city wall to persuade the rebel soldiers to surrender one by one.

As the fighting in the town subsided, the brave men came out of their homes to listen to the movement and saw the slogans posted around the town. It was immediately clear that Shangzhong Town had changed hands.

For the vast majority of people, it doesn't make a difference who is in charge of Shangzhong Town, whether it is the rebels before, the officials and soldiers before it, or the current Taoyuan Town. They won't mind as long as it doesn't affect their lives. No matter who occupies Shangzhong Town, it will generally not affect ordinary townspeople, because the most important thing for the existence of a town is the townspeople, and a town without townspeople is still called a town?

However, there are still some nerve-wracking people who change hands in Shangzhong Town, such as ...... Bu Qingzheng!

The significance of Shangzhongzhen to Bu Qingzheng or to the forces behind him is very unusual. Bu Qingzheng has always known. His lord has a soft spot for the former Taoyuan Village and the current Taoyuan Town, and he tried his best to take Taoyuan Town for himself, but he couldn't make a direct move, for fear of attracting the attention of others, but the mayor of Taoyuan Town was a guy who didn't eat oil and rice, and refused to let it out, and finally the relationship between the two sides was stiff. So, Bu Qingzheng came up with an idea. Foster other forces around Taoyuan Town, and take Taoyuan Town in the name of other forces. And this force must be easy for them to grasp, so Jin Yi of Shangzhong Town entered his field of vision.

Jin Yi's foundation is clear to him, he doesn't rely on military merits to come up step by step, such people are too difficult to deal with, and Jin Yi is much easier to deal with by coming up through the back door. As long as you pay a certain benefit, it is easy to pull the relationship.

So, Bu Qingzheng came to Shangzhong Town and visited Jin Yi. With Bu Qingzheng's ability, it is really not difficult to persuade Jin Yi to get rid of it. Within a few days, the two of them called themselves brothers, and Bu Qingzheng didn't even need to guard Tongbing when he entered and exited the town compound, just went in directly.

Everything went well, Bu Qingzheng promised Jin Yi to give him all-round support to help him expand his influence in the local area, and even hinted that Jin Yi would help him gain more territory if he had the conditions. But I didn't expect that Taoyuan Town actually killed it at a critical moment. As soon as the battle in the town compound started, he received the news, he didn't pay too much attention to it at the time, and even secretly laughed at Taoyuan Town's inadequacy, with so many soldiers wanted to take down Shangzhong Town, isn't it a fool's dream?

However, Jin Yi's incompetence made him see what it means that everything is possible, and a tooth general with a number of people actually let more than 100 people make dumplings in the town. There were several times in between, and Bu Qingzheng couldn't help but want to send his own guards into battle to help Jin Yi kill the people of Taoyuan Town. But in the end, he still held back, after all, although he has a deep estrangement with Taoyuan Town, he has not really torn his face, if he rashly participates in the war, it is very likely that his existence will be exposed, and he will not be able to deal with Taoyuan Town in the future. Of course, the most important time, he hadn't seen the meaning of his lord's desire to directly make enemies of Taoyuan Town, and he didn't dare to make decisions on behalf of his lord.

So, he knew that hiding in the town, watching Jin Yi being escorted out of the town compound, and watching Shangzhong Town being taken down by Taoyuan Town, this depressed mood could not be expressed in words.

Wang Hao actually knew that Bu Qingzheng was in the town, but he didn't have the idea of meeting him, the so-called not tearing his face was just Bu Qingzheng's wishful thinking, in Wang Hao's heart, he had already put Bu Qingzheng's forces into another book. Although Bu Qingzheng once came to the door to explain that the rebels' attack had nothing to do with them, Wang Hao would believe that there were ghosts, and they themselves idiots always thought that everyone was an idiot. It's just that Wang Hao feels that for Taoyuan Town, it is an eventful time, and there is no need to erect another enemy, since the other party wants to deceive himself, then he is happy to pretend to be stupid.

After taking control of the town compound, Wang Hao immediately issued an occupation notice in all streets and alleys of the town according to the original plan. Because their occupation is different from the occupation of the official army and the rebels, in the past, either the official army or the rebels, the townspeople have been used to it, and it is definitely the first time for them to appear as a force for most townspeople, and more people must understand the rise of Taoyuan Town. Originally, this operation was secondary, and the most important thing was to show the strength of Taoyuan Town to the outside world.

As Wang Hao expected, the news of Taoyuan Town's capture of Shangzhong Town was fermenting in the entire Great Xia Empire at the fastest speed, and no one expected that Taoyuan Town would respond to the doubts of the outside world with such a tough attitude. It was only three days after the capture of Yilong Town, and it turned out to be another city. Ordinary people may not know, but the forces that know the details of the two towns naturally know that Shangzhong Town is comparable to Yilong Town, and it was actually broken in such a short period of time, when did the strength of Taoyuan Town become so strong!
