Seeing that there was only a thin layer of cloud qi left at the head of the city, Wei Yan felt that the heat was almost over, so he waved his hand and shouted, "Let those captives shout to me according to the pre-plan!" ”

At the sound of the order, the captives began to cry out, "Brothers, surrender, this battle should not be fought again, what is the point of fighting life and death, the common people on the side of the Han King have land, there is no exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, only the agricultural tax of the basic eleventh, disarming and returning to the field, having children, and no longer starving." ”

"Brothers, on the side of King Han, everyone can study, the government has a school, and the boy can study for free for three years, and our children and grandchildren can also have a step forward."

"Brothers, let's stop fighting, we fight back and forth, and we don't even have a bereavement pension when we die, how can the orphans and mothers at home survive!"

These are all taught along the way, at the beginning of the shouting was still messy and inaudible, Chen Deng and the others above the city did not know what they were shouting, but gradually, the voice gradually began to be neatly aligned, and when Chen Deng heard it clearly, his face suddenly turned pale, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood couldn't help but squirt out 'poof'.

"Chen Fujun, what's wrong with you!" A group of people held on to the crumbling Chen Deng.

Chen Deng smiled miserably and wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth indiscriminately, "Xiapi, it's over!" ”

The crowd was silent for a moment.

"Let those captives transport siege equipment!" The last trace of cloud energy at the head of the city also dissipated, and it can be seen that the morale has fallen to nothing, and the reason why no one has put down their weapons to surrender or flee is just a leader or a signal.

Seeing this, Wei Yan no longer hesitated, "Siege!" ”

At the sound of an order, the 10,000 troops who had been prepared in advance began to rush towards Xiapi City with neat steps, and the first ones were all heavy shield soldiers with heavy shields.

These heavy shielders escorted the sappers who were responsible for erecting the pontoon bridge, and pushed huge iron carts, on which long iron ladders were erected protruding about twenty meters in front, all balanced by the counterweights behind them.

Above the city, the shouts of arrows continued, but the rain of arrows that could be shot down was dripping, as if the urinary tract was blocked, and there was no lethality at all.

Twenty huge ladders were pushed into the moat, splashing huge splashes, and the troops carrying the siege ladders shouted trumpets and rushed up.

Seeing that the moat did not play a role in the slightest, and the siege ladder was set up on the city wall without hindrance, Chen Deng waved his hand to shake off everyone, and resolutely pulled out the sword he carried from his waist and put it across his neck, and roared in a heart-splitting voice: "My Chen clan is the son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xu, inheriting the glory of the ancestors, generations of county prestige, born noble, educating all the people, meritorious to the world, now, in vain for our merits, want to cause us to be the same as the lowly, this is a humiliation to our scholars, a humiliation to our ancestors, our scholars, Never share the world with the grass people. ”

After that, Chen Deng pulled the sword in his hand fiercely, the sword broke through the thin layer of flesh on the neck, cut the throat artery, and blood gushed out like no money, Chen Deng's eyes were round, until death, he was unwilling to give up his identity as a scholar, and he would never let himself die at the hands of a lowly person!

For a while, the city was quiet, and the people around Chen Deng looked at Chen Deng's corpse, and the arrogance raised by the scholars in their hearts was completely stimulated.

If there is a glimmer of life, for the sake of family inheritance, they can also hesitate to bend their reputation and beg for a full salary, looking forward to the time when there will be a comeback, but now, look at the situation of the Han army in the city, the fall of Pi is a foregone conclusion.

With Wang Xuan's usual way of acting now, if those small families and local wealthy families still have a glimmer of life, there is absolutely no reason for them, the noble families who have truly inherited more than a hundred years, to be spared.

This is the collision of the old and new systems, there is no room for maneuver at all, Wang Xuan in order to implement the new policy, it is inevitable to completely destroy them like a big family, and these big families are absolutely unwilling to withdraw from the stage of history, so that it can only end with the complete destruction of one party.

It's just that, now it seems, it's their side that has failed.

Since there is no doubt about death, how can you die so badly?

The Shi clan is the Shi clan, it is by no means comparable to the grass people, even if it is death, it must die heroically, and there must be enough burial, otherwise, it is not enough to show the glory of their family, not enough to show their difference.

The status is like this, this point, no matter ancient or modern, how can you die so aggrieved and so humble.

A group of people returned home, and soon, when the gate of Xiapi City was opened, and Wei Yan led people to rush into Xiapi City, more than a dozen fires suddenly rose in the city, and the flames were raging together, obviously deliberately released.

Wei Yan's face changed, and he pointed to the fire and asked one person beside him, "What are those places?" ”

The person next to him was chubby, wearing a light blue shirt, and his face was always smiling, which made people feel bad at first sight, this person was the person in charge of the intelligence department who had been ambushed in Xiapi early, looked up in the direction of the fire, and frowned slightly, "Where, it seems to be the mansion of the Xu family in Xiapi." ”

"Huh!" The man looked at a few fireheads, and the more he looked at them, the more strange his expression became, and finally sighed, and said in a somewhat inexplicable tone: "These places should be the mansions of the Xuzhou clan, if the lower officials expected it, they should have self-immolated." ”

Wei Yan raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he didn't know why a greasy feeling surged in his heart, it was like a butcher's knife he raised, he just wanted to kill the enemy, but found that the enemy happened to die of old age......

It's very uncomfortable.

At this moment, someone came to the fat and rich middle-aged man to report something, the middle-aged man's face sank suddenly, and a cold snort came out of his nose, which was too rare for him, who had never been moody as the intelligence chief of a state.

Wei Yan also noticed the problem, and couldn't help but see to him that this person didn't hide it, so he directly repeated the words that Chen Deng shouted above the city just now.

"Too much deception!" Wei Yan was furious when he heard this, which reminded him of the experiences he had before he took refuge in Liu Bei.

He was born to belong to those lowly people in Chen Deng's mouth, if he wasn't talented, he finally joined the army, and he relied on a knife and a shot to kill some merits, but he didn't even have the opportunity to read, but even so, most of his credits were taken away by those who came from families.

Otherwise, why was he dug up by Wang Xuan with a letter, it was not because he could only be a mere team commander all along, even if he was already the first soldier in martial arts at that time, but whenever there was any battle, he rushed to the front line to fight and kill, and then when he was rewarded for meritorious deeds, he could only share the most meager credit, or maybe there was some money to reward.

In the final analysis, it is a question of origin, because he came from a humble background, even if he has made many meritorious contributions, he will definitely have no chance to get ahead, especially in a place like Jingzhou, where there are many families and are deeply rooted.

Really, the more I think about it, the more angry I get, the more angry I think, the more I think about it, the more angry I get......

"Ah!!!h Wei Yan looked up to the sky and roared, a roar of anger rose from his body, and the anger in his chest was raging, but he didn't know who to vent, those real big families are now dying of self-immolation, okay, even if there are those left, it is not for him Wei Yan to fall, after all, he is a person from the military, and he is not qualified to meddle in this kind of political matter.

The separation of military and political affairs is a national policy set by Wang Xuan, and no matter how arrogant Wei Yan is, he does not dare to have the slightest idea of disobedience.

Damn!

Wei Yan grabbed the Qinglong Yanyue Knife on the Victory Hook and leaped up from the horse, and the big knife in his hand slashed towards the sky several times, with Wei Yan's roar, for a while, a huge knife dozens of meters long shot back and forth in the sky above Xiapi City, bringing up a whirring wind, this Wei Yan who launched a frenzy in the eyes of ordinary people, it was like a god descending to earth, and the majestic power was not comparable to mortals at all.

After venting fiercely, Wei Yan exhaled heavily, and fell from the sky on horseback with a black face, and the rich middle-aged man's expression returned to his previous smile at the moment, after all, those who said this are dead, he can't bother with the dead, doesn't that make those high-ranking guys even more talkative.

The army began to enter the city, and although Xiapi was breached, it was rare that it did not cause any confusion, that is, the rebels who would inevitably appear in the past and those who took the opportunity to make trouble did not appear.

Speaking of which, this credit should also be credited to Wei Yan, this guy just flew into the sky to vent his anger, that is indeed a god might, and all those who took advantage of the fire to rob were shocked, for ordinary people, this is no different from gods and demons, the ghost knows if it can be pinched, anyway, the legends are not like this, in case it is pinched, it is not a lantern in the pit - looking for.

Therefore, it is rare that Picheng is not chaotic at all, and it was taken over by Wei Yan so easily.

After the occupation of Xiapi, Wei Yan fell silent, and he did not start to attack the surrounding cities and land with arrogance, because he knew that once Cao Cao got the news that Xiapi had lost it, he would definitely not give up.

Therefore, the top priority is to strengthen the city defense and guard against Boss Cao.
