Chapter Ninety-One: The Clan
Burning torches, crackling sounds.
Sun Guan was unmoved, his eyes were firmly fixed on Wubao, and he suddenly remembered the scene where he and his friend Zang Ba saved people together many years ago.
However, in the current situation, it is completely different.
The time has come to enclose the entire dock fort, and now the most important purpose is to open the gate and rush in.
But one of the things that made him miscalculate, Merriam-Webster was too timid.
When he found that the county government was attacking with 200 men, he did not go out of the battle, but closed the gate.
In this way, in order to take Merriam-Webster as soon as possible, it had to be taken by force.
Fort Websterwood is not particularly tall, but it is built with the help of the mountainous terrain of this place, and it is really easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The townsmen were trained to quickly build ladders, and under the cover of crossbowmen, they marched up in formation.
For a time, inside and outside the dock fort, there were constant shouts of killing.
Under the strong attack of the townsmen, the situation on the dock fort became more and more serious for Merriam-Webster.
After retracting his gaze, Sun Guan looked at the dark bushes behind him, and said in his heart: More than ten days ago, I sent a letter for Xuan Gao. Xuan Gao responded, and there was a message in his letter that he would gather friends in the market to help, and he would come and go, even for these two days, and I don't know if he could catch up with the war here.
"Look, Merriam-Webster has opened the gate of the dock fort!"
The voice of the soldier came from his ears, and Sun Guan looked back and was instantly overjoyed.
He did not worry about fighting Webster's private soldiers head-on, even if it was hundreds of enemies, he was not afraid, and this was also the confidence he had trained in his subordinates in recent times. I am really worried about the raid on the dock fort, which will bring more casualties.
I didn't expect Webster to choose to give up guarding, and it was also to give up the advantage.
Isn't this looking down on his grandson?
Sun Guan would not give Wei a chance to defend again, and said loudly: "Wei privately cast military crossbow armor, colluded with bandits, and rebelled against the official temple, disobeyed the order, and conspired against it!"
By the order of the county king, sons!
Let's kill the thieves! ”
The popularity of the villagers has already been mobilized.
Sun Guan is the most fierce, he led the charge to kill the front, wearing an iron helmet, and moving forward.
The people of Webster, who were coming out to fight, looked like they were fleeing in embarrassment after the fight.
Wei Ji himself, also wearing armor, looked at the situation ahead, his face showed a decisive intention, and he said in a loud voice: "Chang Xichang bullied us and others, how can he be restrained!"
The second and third sons, rush out for me, but if you kill an official thief, you will be rewarded with 100 gold and 10 acres of land! ”
In addition to more than 100 private soldiers and the whole clan of the local clan, the rest of the training department in the Fort Webster's Dock are the hermits and homeless men who have been gathered in the past few months. Although there is no big rule, but desperately killed, the department led by Sun Guan is unstoppable.
Wei Ji took the opportunity to block with one group, and he led another part of the people to march towards the county seat, planning to meet with the other tribes and relieve the siege.
In his prediction, since Wei was attacked by the county magistrate Liu Qi, so did the others. It is now, by no means the time to care about gains and losses, only by uniting several wealthy families can this dilemma be solved.
Wei Ji's thinking is correct, in addition to Chengping Township, Sun Guan sent by Liu Qi, and is doing an attack, Pingliang and Wuliu townships gathered wealthy clans, and they are also facing the attack of Xu Case and Li Zhan.
The local wealthy clan was originally a big trouble, plus a few village guards, each with mineral deposits, the wealthy clan privately made more ordnance, and the combat power was more fierce than the bandits.
Liu Qi and Fang Zhen discussed the plan, and they had a lot of consideration for this.
This is also why the people of the Hanshan camp were mobilized to unite with the other three townships, and during this period of time, the pavilion and township officials were summoned to jointly encircle and suppress. It is precisely because of the worry that the power of the wealthy clan is too large, and there are too many people in the headquarters.
When the Taishan bandits attacked, as long as the Lingshan camp could be stopped, the riots in the three places would be the trend of closing the door and beating the dogs.
At the same time, under the continuous war, the longer it drags on, the more it will rebel against the rebellion within the Hao clan in the face of Liu Qi's envoys Li Zhan, Xu Case, Sun Guan and other professional soldiers, which will be more and more unfavorable to it.
But the situation was even better than Liu Qi expected.
Just one night passed, and the next morning, the military information came.
The wealthy clan of Sanxiang, in addition to the fleeing department, the rest were mostly destroyed by Sun Guan, Xu Case, and Li Zhan, even Wei Ji, who was going to help in his hometown, was caught up by Sun Guan and got the head.
However, Wei Ji's sons Wei Feng and Wei Hong led their men and horses to go downstream by boat, which was to pursue Sun Guan.
The Chen family, the Du family, the Shi family, the Pingliang, Wu and Liu two wealthy families, are not as lucky as the Wei family, except for those who surrendered to survive, the rest of the rebels were all killed, almost wiped out!
When the news here spread to many places in Changxi, people were shocked by the methods of Changchang Chang Liu Qi.
In silence, several big families who are kings and hegemons in the countryside have ended up like this!
Some people are sad and rejoice, and some people rejoice.
And no one has a respect for Liu Qi, especially the Lu family and other big families who secretly served Liu Qi earlier.
Inside the official building.
Liu Qi even stayed awake all night and destroyed the wealthy clan of Sanxiang, which was too important, and it was also a key battle for him to think about Chang and establish his authority again.
A few months ago, with his own strength, he broke the bandits of several parties, which was the key point for Liwei to be able to sit firmly in Changxi's office.
This time, taking advantage of the chaos of the wealthy clan in Sanxiang, he was destroyed in one fell swoop, and it will also become the focus of his next step to completely let the local big families in Changxi be annexed.
Words don't make people surrender, but they can.
At the time of eating, the county officials who were still staying in the county temple came and went, and when they saw the county magistrate Liu Qi stepping in, they hurriedly stopped talking, and they were more respectful than before.
Who would have thought that the county magistrate Liu Qi would train the villagers to be able to destroy the Hao clan so quickly!
Webster, Chen, etc., at this time, if anyone beats again, they will definitely repeat the mistakes of the past.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere of the entire official temple became strange in vain.
Dong Wei, the county lieutenant, learned that Wei and others had prayed for Liu overnight, and that there were more than a thousand dead, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt.
Liu Qi deals with things on weekdays, and he is thorough, and there is no major contradiction with him. Even knowing that he was involved with the wealthy family, with his cooperation these days, he turned a blind eye.
But now, the monopoly of the wealthy family, and then being punished, is on the bright side, he can't pretend to be deaf and dumb, he must have a clear statement.
Although Dong Wei knew that he had not said it before, it was true that he had missed the opportunity, but at the critical moment when the county government needed to stabilize the place, it was not too late!
Now it depends on whether Liu Qi can accept it.
When he came to the hall, Dong Wei was still a little apprehensive.
Knowing that the master is really in the book, he is talking with the county magistrate Liu Qi, and he waits patiently.
Fang Zhen is Liu Qi's cronies, and now he must be discussing the disposition of those wealthy families and excluding him, the county lieutenant, Dong Wei really has no complaints in his heart, after all, what Liu Qi did is very important.
If he had Liu Qi's courage, he would do the same.
It wasn't until Fang Zhen came out that Dong Wei took a deep breath, and then most of them stepped in.
