Chapter 16: The County Raid
Chapter 16: The County Raid
Li Tang, who was sitting in the office of the City Lord's Mansion, smiled, in just a few days of reform, he completely mastered Fengluo City and won the hearts of the people!
Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, this is not a slogan, but must be implemented, with the hearts of the people, he is not duckweed in the water, without any foundation, with the hearts of the people, his achievement points and prestige points have been slowly increasing.
"Yesterday it was 4,000 fame points, today it is 9,000 fame points, and before sunset, it will be easy to break 10,000 fame points!"
Li Tang thought happily that once his fame exceeded 10,000, he would be able to summon an army and have the power to protect himself.
The crisis never stopped, although the location of Fengluo City was remote, the news of Li Tang's deal with the three major clans still spread, causing a shock in Qingtian County, and the clan represented by the county capital Tian family gathered the four major clans of Qingtian County.
The Tian family, the county capital, is the in-law of the Su family in Fengluo City, who controls the power of Qingtian County, and is a family of more than 300 years, with a profound heritage, and it is rumored that there are martial arts level powerhouses.
Qingcheng, originally known as Qingtian City, but coincided with Qingtian, committed a big taboo, changed its name to Qingcheng, is one of the top ten cities in Qingxiao Country, although it is not as prosperous as Xiaoyun City, not as powerful as Wangguan City, but it also has its own characteristics!
The city wall is as high as 29 meters, where the people come and go, today, the main gate of the city center is wide open, to welcome the other four major clans, according to the strength can be ranked as the Zhou family, the Dian family, the Shen family, the Han family!
At noon, the convoys of the four major clans entered Qingcheng in turn, with fresh clothes and angry horses, soldiers and armor sent to each other, and maids and attendants, very luxurious, and entered the main gate under the envious eyes of the people.
"What's going on! Bringing the four clans together?"
"I don't know, who of you knows?"
"I don't know!"
After the main gate was closed, the people talked about it, wanting to know the answer, and discussed for a long time, but they still found nothing.
The City Lord's Mansion is located in the center of the city, where the five major clans discuss the place, after lunch, the discussion begins, and five middle-aged men with majestic faces sit around a round table, put incense and fragrant tea on the table and start the discussion.
These things are enough for an ordinary family of three to live for a few years!
"I'll make it clear! The three major clans of Fengluo City have a cooperative relationship with us, and the Su family is my own family, this time Li Tang eradicates the three major clans, we must take revenge and get this field back!"
Tian Mingyu, the county capital, slapped the table, and because of the force, the teacups jumped up and made a crisp sound, which could see the anger in his heart.
"But Li Tang is the concubine of Qingxiao Kingdom after all, and the princess still has a good chance of winning the throne, is it worth it to offend her concubine?" Zhou Jianwei tapped his finger on the table, he was a conservative and unwilling to take risks.
"Poof!"
"Lao Zhou, your information is too backward! Now that the situation in the capital has changed greatly, and the situation in the court is surging, the chances of the princess becoming the king are very small!" Dian said with a smile.
Zhou Jianwei frowned, he didn't receive any news that was unfavorable to Gong Bingxue!
"Master of the Dian family, why are you sure that the princess's chances of becoming king are very small?"
Dian nodded with a smile, not speaking, obviously he didn't want to make the news public.
When the Shen family and the Han family heard the two chatting, doubts also appeared in their hearts, but they didn't ask, who knows if what Dian Huo said was true, or if it was a trick!
Outsiders are always unreliable, and only believing in oneself is the way to stay long.
"Ahem, now we are thinking about the conquest of Fengluo City, Li Tang made a move against the clan, he stood on the opposite side of the clan, he acted against the sky, and our conquest of Li Tang was in accordance with the will of heaven!"
Seeing the topic shifting, Tian Mingyu hurriedly pulled the topic back, this is also a matter of no way, although the Tian family is the most powerful clan in Qingtian County, there are only two thousand private troops, and it is impossible to conquer Fengluo City with two thousand troops.
As we all know, it is easy to defend a city, but it is difficult to attack a city!
"I agree to send troops to Fengluo City!" Dian Huo said first.
Seeing that the two great families agreed, a gleam flashed in Han Xuanwen's eyes, there are only seven cities in Qingtian County, and each city is divided by clans, the reason why they can become the five major clans is because they occupy a city alone, and for the weakest Han family, attacking Fengluo City is an opportunity.
"I agree. ”
The five major clans already had three major clans agree, and the Zhou family and the Shen family also nodded in agreement.
Subsequently, the five clans handed over the documents, swore an oath, determined the plan, and finally signed the conquest letter, confirming that each clan would send 2,000 private troops, a total of 10,000 people, and the city officials and troops would send 50,000, a total of 60,000 people.
Fengluo City is located in the south of Qingcheng, surrounded by Han Chu City, Dianqing City, and Mountain City, these four cities are the base camp of the Tian family, the Han family, the Dian family and the Zhou family.
Although it was only a few tens of kilometers away from Fengluo City, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, the five major clans decided on Chu's strict plan after summing up, and it took a week to send out the army.
The four major cities each sent 10,000 troops, plus the Shen family's army, a total of 60,000 people, and marched towards Fengluo City.
Walk like the wind, run like thunder!
Ten miles from the border of Fengluo City, there are more than a dozen sentry stations, which are specially responsible for monitoring the surrounding situation and playing the role of scouts.
Wang Wu is very happy these days, after Li Tang became the city lord, he was appointed as the captain of the sentry station, managing a hundred people, living a life full of scenery every day, and he has no regrets in this life!
As is customary, he patrolled the watchtower again, thinking that there was no situation, but suddenly saw the sand and dust flying in the distance, and the place where the sand and dust passed by, startled the birds!
"There is a situation!"
Wang Wu's mind flashed a thought, Fengluo City is a mountain city, maple trees are all over the mountain, there is no wasteland, excellent environment, there is no sand city at all.
"Prepare your horses and go investigate!"
Jumping off the watchtower, there were already twenty light horsemen below, led by Wang Wu, running towards the land of sand and dust.
As he got closer and closer, Wang Wu finally saw it clearly, gasped, and his legs trembled involuntarily.
Dense army, thousands of cavalry galloping in front, iron hooves on the ground, a deafening sound, a few meters of handsome flag fluttering in the wind, the golden silk Tian character indicates that they are the Tian family's army, is marching towards Fengluo City.
When Wang Wu discovered them, the Tian family army also discovered Wang Wu, and immediately a hundred horsemen broke away from the army and rushed towards them.
"Retreat!"
Wang Wu turned his horse's head and retreated, he must immediately report the news to Fengluo City!
"Shoot the arrows!"
The Tian family army that was chasing Wang Wu took off the bow and arrow behind their back, wound the arrow, and began to attack.
The Fengluo sentry who was not in a hurry to dodge, under the attack of the rain of arrows, in the blink of an eye, nearly half of them died, and the rest of the people were lucky to dodge.
Half an hour later, Wang Wu was hit by an arrow in his left shoulder, and after rubbing shoulders with death, he brought back an important news to Fengluo City.
"The county government is attacking Fengluo City!"
