Volume 1 Section 62 My Heart
When the morning light gradually dissipated, Gushi City finally sent away a long and difficult night. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Those who were brave enough not to leave home put their ears to the door panel and listened to the sound outside the door, although the shouts of killing did not last long, but they made them tremble.
Everyone knew that the last victims of the fire were unarmed, but as the night passed, their worst fears did not seem to have happened.
As the sun shone down on the streets, the brave men finally realized that the danger was away and began to open their doors after careful observation.
Life still has to go on, there is no other way than to be vigilant in these years, and if you really encounter bad luck, you can only consider yourself unlucky.
Jiang Feng, who was standing at the head of the city, looked at the gradually lively streets with a complicated expression, everything seemed to have passed, and it seemed that everything had just begun.
Yuan Wuxing took away Cao Wanchuan and a few people who followed the Yuan family with all his heart, as well as one or two hundred lucky escapees, and the remaining more than a thousand people were surrounded and disarmed.
As expected, there were not many battles worth mentioning, and both sides had no will to fight, and after losing the command of the commander, surrender was inevitable, but Jiang Feng did not intend to force them all to stay.
Cao Wanchuan left an unpredictable tail after returning to Dingcheng, and he may be able to recollect the remnants of the original Gwangju with the support of the Yuan family and pull up a team, but this possibility is not very likely, most of the remnants of Gwangju hate Yuan's betrayal of the alliance, and it is difficult to accept the ending of returning to Yuan's command.
Maybe Cao Wanchuan will be used by the Yuan family and then discarded, but one thing is certain, he will be slowly marginalized, and the Yuan family is not generous enough to let a remnant of the Xu family take charge of the heavy army.
Looking around, the golden sunlight made the entire Gushi City seem to be connected with the fields outside the city, and the smoke curled up, only the heavily armed soldiers at the city gate and the people in the streets and alleys showed the unrest of last night.
The Gushi people, who had just recovered from the Gwangju Rebellion, seemed to have resigned themselves to their fate, especially the gentry who fled from Gwangju to Gushi in panic.
Gwangju has fallen into the hands of the Yuan clan, the Yuan army has been plundering Gwangju for seven days, their property and mansion have been looted, and now they have fled to Gushi, and have not yet settled down, but they have experienced such a wave of turmoil, how can they be relieved?
Go?
Jiang Feng also didn't know how to answer the question that popped out of his mind.
Walking on the city wall, Jiang Feng thought about it.
Defection to the Yuan family was rejected by himself, why?
Is it to miss Xu's kindness to himself?
It's a bit far-fetched and hypocritical, Xu Wangxia's recruitment of himself into the scout camp is just the most common means of solicitation for these gate lord clans, not to mention that there is no kindness or gratitude, not to mention that except for the Xu clan, they have never really trusted outsiders.
It doesn't seem to be the case, the Yuan family sometimes has the backing of the family, how can it seem stronger than the Du family in Ezhou, which is scattered and far away from the Dabie Mountain, why do you have to travel thousands of miles to invite the Du family?
The looming clues seemed to slowly emerge in Jiang Feng's mind, would you rather be the head of the chicken than the queen of the cow?
It seems that there is a little bit of this meaning in it, there is Cao Wanchuan, who is above him, and there are old qualified commanders such as Gu Minghai and Gan Quanfu to suppress him, and it will take time for him to come out.
Is this the only reason? A faint smile appeared on the corner of Jiang Feng's mouth.
There seems to be a little vanity at work.
Seeing that Xu's arrogant description of the past disappeared without a trace, replaced by that pitiful posture, and regarded himself as the only Great Wall to rely on, Jiang Feng felt an indescribable joy in his heart.
He wanted to enjoy this high taste for a longer and deeper time, even if it was worth taking some risks for it, especially when the arrival of the ant thief itself had brought a huge impact and uncertainty to Gushi and even the forces around Gushi.
It's just ridiculous that Du Li still wants to ask himself for Xu's Shuangshu, he really thinks that he can only rely on the aura of their Du family to maintain Gushi's survival.
However, the current situation of Gushi is indeed not optimistic, only a small county, weak and weak, surrounded by several major forces, the Gushi army is almost negligible.
Whether it is the Yuan family in Caizhou or the Liu family in Nanyang, who has already controlled Shenzhou in the east, or the Du family in Ezhou in the south, if they really want to take down Gushi ruthlessly, it will only be an easy matter.
The only thing he can rely on now is the strange situation brought about by the sudden sweep of the Yellow Ant Army, which makes the surrounding forces either have no time to take care of it for the time being, or they are powerless, or they are afraid, and they dare not do it at will.
In the current situation, the Yuan family is undoubtedly the biggest enemy, and looking around, although the Du family in the south will fully support themselves to contain the Yuan family, it is very difficult to expect them to directly send troops to support themselves, and to a large extent, they can only help themselves in terms of posture and materials.
If we talk about geographical location, the boundary of Shouzhou is the closest to Gushi, but Shouzhou is located on the bank of the river and is far away from Gushi;
Shouzhou is also the dividing line and buffer place of the two major forces of Huaibei and Huainan, and every move will attract the attention of the two giants of Huaibei Shijia and Huainan Yangjia.
Jiang Feng decisively gave up his hope for Shouzhou and sent people to Ezhou to seek support, which led Du Li to lead his troops north to resist Yuan Wudaunt.
However, Du's control in Huangzhou and Qizhou, which are close to Gwangju, is not stable, and to a large extent, it has to be maintained by garrisoning troops in Huangzhou and Qi, and the support for Gushi can only be temporary, and in the end it has to rely on itself, which is exactly in line with Jiang Feng's intentions.
It seemed that everything was moving according to the intention designed by Jiang Feng, but when he came to this point, Jiang Feng found that he seemed to be a little confused at this moment.
Now that Gushi City has crawled at his feet, more than 2,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of Gushi citizens are watching him, the soldiers are looking forward to their victories one after another, and the people are looking forward to being able to stay away from the danger of war and seek a living space to live and work in peace and contentment.
The Yuan family was unwilling to leave, and the Du family would not stay long, although the Du family wanted to intervene, but they were more than willing to do it.
The ant thieves are already close to the beginning, and no one knows where those crazy guys will step next.
For a while, there were many distracting thoughts and thoughts, and Jiang Feng even forgot when and where he was, until the sound of hurried footsteps behind him woke him up from his fugue and returned.
