Chapter 566: The Surrender of the Wealthy Clan

A few days later, Ma Tan arrived belatedly with 300 selected warriors.

"This road to the party is really difficult to walk, it's the first time I've gotten lost!" Ma Jian scolded and scolded, and walked out of the mountains and forests with three hundred soldiers with difficulty and came to the vicinity of Changzi County.

At this moment, the Han army's supplies were already seriously scarce, and Ma Jian estimated that he would support himself at most. In other words, if he can't quickly take the Shangdang government to get supplies, then he will overturn here.

After all, Ma Jian didn't expect that after so many years, he would be careless and lost.

"Soldiers, take out all the grain and straw, and after a full meal, fight with me." Ma Tan turned his head, looked at the soldiers under his command, and quickly ordered a forced siege after resting.

The elite of the three hundred Han army, under the leadership of Ma Yan, rested on the spot for an hour, and then prepared to launch a strong attack on Changzi County.

However, when Ma Tan led his troops to the vicinity of Changzi County, an early warning suddenly came from the city. Ma Tan watched a large number of troops quickly surging into the city, and his face suddenly sank.

"It's bad, Sun Li is really prepared, this time he can hit the muzzle!"

Ma Jian scolded secretly in his heart, but still ordered the part.

"We were discovered by the enemy, and it was too late to prepare, so the whole army attacked! If we can't take the city, we'll all die here!" ”

"Quickly open the city gate and welcome the king into the city!"

Although he really wants to die, Ma Jian still has to fight to the death. In Ma Tan's opinion, this is definitely an adventure with a very high mortality rate.

In this regard, Ma Jian really didn't understand what was wrong, but the scene in front of him was too weird.

Then, Ma Tan found that the Wei soldiers at the head of the city did not fight back when they saw them, but cheered.

"Which one is this going to play? Are you trying to trick me into going into the city to kill me? ”

Not to mention the soldiers of the Han army, even Ma Yan, who has always been well-informed, was confused.

Then all the soldiers threw down their weapons and quickly opened the city gates. Subsequently, under the leadership of several officers who looked like captains, the county commander of Changzi County greeted him with a seal ribbon and surrendered to the Han army.

"Master Wang is here! The sky is there! ”

Saying that, several leaders of the Hao clan, together with the county order, presented Ma Jian with military power and seals, and directly sent the entire eldest son county and even most of the Shangdang to Ma Tan.

"The Han Heavenly Soldiers have come to rescue the Shangdang!"

"General Han, our Shangdang County Father and the common people have been suffering for a long time, sleepless day and night, looking forward to waiting for the Han Dynasty to come again! Today I finally waited for the arrival of the heavenly soldiers, this is our meager gift, may General Han accept it with a smile! ”

There is no way, since he learned that Sun Li was mistakenly killed by their Hao clan, the Hao clan in Shangdang County has no choice.

After all, they are just a group of middle- and lower-class scholars, and there is no one to support them in the court. And Sun Li, who was killed by mistake, was the general of Zhenxi, and he was still the person of the Taiwei Sima Yi.

In this unreasonable feudal era, such a mistake is enough for their small wealthy clan to punish the three clans.

For the Great Wei court, I can't beat the Han army, and I can't beat you a few Shangdang wealthy families?

So, from the moment Sun Li was mistakenly killed in the county seat of the eldest son, the Shangdang wealthy families had no choice. After Ma Jian arrived, they sacrificed the city as soon as possible, in order to continue to live under the protection of Ji Han.

Ma Tan has been surrounded by these people into the city, and finally figured out what happened. When he heard that Sun Li was too afraid of himself, so he ran back by himself without notifying the rear, and was mistakenly killed by the Hao clan, Ma Tan fell silent.

I haven't seen anything (crossed out)

I've never seen this (I'm sure)

"Sun Li's strange way of death...... When I went to Taishan Mansion, I probably had to talk to Hao Zhao, and I was the most aggrieved to see who died. Ma Tan shook his head lightly, and couldn't help but muttered to himself.

"So, because of this, you have to surrender to my big man?"

"Of course, not only that, we have been in the party for generations as Hanchen, and we have long had the intention of opposing Wei and returning to Han......" The county magistrate of Changzi County gushed his loyalty, but Ma Tan disagreed.

As for Sun Li's death, I'm afraid it was prepared for me from the beginning. If Sun Li hadn't given it himself, probably I would have died under the city this time.

Well...... This doesn't seem like good news.

But in short, it was a victory to eat the seat of Shangdang County without much effort. Next, Ma Jian should find a way to shake the heart of the Wei army blocking the entrance of the Shangdang and break the 60,000 Wei troops in one fell swoop.

But at this time, the head of the wealthy family, who had been talking about his loyalty, suddenly said to Ma Yan,

"General Ma, we are really in the party, and if we say that we will take the whole county to defect, we will take the whole county to defect. At the moment, the defenders of Huguan are still loyal to the pseudo-Wei, but we have a way for you to quickly take this pass! ”

"Can you still take the pot?" Ma Tan was taken aback and shocked by this generous gift.

Huguan is in the easternmost part of Shangdang County, west of Taihang Mountain, and is the exit of the Baicheng Ancient Road. If the Huguan is taken, then the Jingcheng that has entered Hebei from the Shangdang will no longer be blocked by a narrow barrier.

To put it simply, as long as this place is taken, Ma Jian can quickly drive straight into Ye City and lead the army straight to Yecheng! If he is lucky, Ma Jian can even replicate the trip to Luoyang three years ago.

And even if you don't march, you can retreat to Huguan, completely block the Baicheng Ancient Road, and control Shangdang County in the real sense.

However, Ma Jian is still a little skeptical about this, these local wealthy families really have this ability? You must know that Huguan is the throat of the state, and it is impossible for Cao Wei not to guard it with heavy troops.

These wealthy clans can't even resist the fault of killing General Zhenxi by mistake, they really have the ability to take Huguan?

"General Ma, don't believe it, although our Shangdang fathers and elders have a very weak influence in the court, they still have a certain influence in the Shangdang area." Seeing Ma Yan's suspicious expression, the head of the wealthy family immediately explained this.

"The Huguan guards are indeed supporters of the puppet Wei, but their troops are recruited on the spot and the soldiers of the state. Many of these officers are natives of our state, and there is still a chance to get in touch with them a little. ”

"Of course, there are also the elites of pseudo-Wei on the Huguan, and we have no choice but to play General Ma."

As the saying goes, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom, and it is obvious that this group of wealthy people who are in the party also have some means.

Maybe not much, though......

"In that case, you can try it, if you can win the Huguan, you and the wealthy families of the state also have the power to raise filial piety in the Han Dynasty!" Ma Tan narrowed his eyes, groaned for a moment, and opened his mouth to promise.

In the face of Ma Tan's promise, the eyes of the wealthy families in the party suddenly lit up, and they immediately gave up,

"I will not disgrace my life!"
