Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 115 Liaodong officialdom ([-])

Three years later

Taishi four years
Liaodong
Tashi County

North City Gate

"kill!"

Tens of thousands of refugees rushed to the county seat carrying crude ladders, wooden spears and hoes in their hands.

The strange thing is that although the city gate is closed, there is not even a single defender on the city wall.

This group of refugees was originally raised by the four major families in Liaodong. On weekdays, these refugees were specially asked to intercept and kill those governors of Youzhou who dared to come to Liaodong to investigate.

There have been four governors of Youzhou who died at the hands of the four major families in Liaodong.

In addition, other counties have also begun to kill governors. In the past ten years, as many as [-] governors of Youzhou have been killed.

On average, each governor has been in office for less than a year.

However, these rebels who were originally raised by the four major families to kill the governor, after they grew stronger, they broke away from the control of the four major families and began to attack the manors and county towns under the rule of the four major families.

The Guo family in Pingguo County was the first to be attacked by refugees. Tens of thousands of refugees entered the Guo family manor and slaughtered all the men, women and children of the Guo family.

In the entire Guo family, only some women who married into the other three major families were still alive. The rest, including the head of the Guo family, were all killed by refugees, and their bodies were hung on a big tree by the roadside to swing.

The Guo family's [-] mu of fertile land was divided by the refugees, and all the Guo family's wealth was looted.

Since then, only the three major families of Wang, Zhang and Li remained among the four major families in Liaodong.

After the Guo family was destroyed, more than 3 refugees rushed straight to the richest Wang family in Liaodong.

The first to bear the brunt is the county town of Dashi County.

This county seat is in the north of the Wang Family Manor, and it is the only way for the refugees to get to the Wang Family Manor from the land.

However, such an important city was unexpectedly unguarded.

……

South Gate at this moment
"The two of you quickly went to the county mansion and reported the matter to the Patriarch, and said that the target of the refugees was our Wang family, and the Patriarch asked the Patriarch to immediately dispatch soldiers from Liaodong County to suppress it."

County magistrate Wang Changsheng got into the carriage, took a lot of soft treasures, and took his wife, concubine and children with him, and fled southward under the protection of several old soldiers of the royal family and a dozen servants of the royal family.

By the way, he also ordered two old soldiers to detour to the Liaodong County Mansion by a small path, and asked the prefect Wang Changzhi for help.

Dashi County is poor, and the city wall has not been repaired for decades, and there are gaps everywhere, because the money for repairing the city wall has long been corrupted by Wang Changsheng, and there are only a hundred or so county soldiers in the county, it is impossible to stop 3 There were more than [-] refugees, so the moment he saw the army of refugees, the county magistrate Wang Changsheng immediately packed up his things and prepared to run. He didn't even think about defending the county seat to the death. He didn't want to die with this city.

And the hundred or so county soldiers also ran away early, and the entire county town was a fruit waiting for the refugees to harvest at any time.

On the road leading to Wang's Manor in Dashi County, there is a dense mountain forest in southern Liaoning. A military castle, Taohuayuan, was built in the forest. Difficult to capture.

In addition, the Wang family has trained many private soldiers overseas, which should be able to stop the army of refugees.

The former soldiers of the Wang family either died of old age or became officials, and now they have to promote brave fighters from the security team to become soldiers.

Currently, the Wang family has 100 heavy armored soldiers, all of whom have been newly promoted in the past few years, and 1000 members of the security team, all of whom are wearing light armor.

One hundred heavy armored soldiers live near the manor, guarding the manor at any time, while the 1000 members of the security team are scattered in various regions, mainly on overseas islands, to prevent the tenant farmers, serfs, and natives on the overseas islands from rebelling.

……

ten days later

Liaodong County
"The rebels are raging. The Guo family has been destroyed. My Wang family is their next target. The prefect wants to rashly send five thousand soldiers from the county to the south to wipe out the bandits. The county will be handed over to you for protection."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, our three major families will work together and will never hold each other back."

"It's just that the Guo family was destroyed by thieves, what should we do with the fertile fields of the Guo family?"

"The emperor is obsessed with the art of longevity, and he is too lazy to take care of us in Liaodong. After these bandits are suppressed, the Guo family's land will naturally be divided among our three families."

"The top priority now is to wipe out the bandits."

"I'll wait to understand."

Wang Changzhi was very anxious, for fear that if he was too late, his Wang family would follow in the footsteps of the Guo family.

These Liaodong thieves were all raised by their four major families. At first, there were only more than 1000 people, and they were specially used to intercept and kill those court officials.

As a result, due to the heavy taxation of the imperial court, there were refugees everywhere. These thieves took the opportunity to absorb the refugees to strengthen themselves, and now they have a scale of more than 3 people.

After they grew up, they no longer bothered to continue to obey the orders of the four major families, and directly exterminated the Guo family, the weakest of the four major families.

The four big families shot themselves in the foot this time, and the thieves raised by them dared to devour the master, and they really ate up one of the masters.

After ordering the relevant matters, the prefect Wang Changzhi, who was over 60 years old, rode his horse again after many years, and led [-] soldiers from Liaodong County to the south to suppress the bandits.

……

20 days later
Taohuayuan Castle

"kill!"

The refugees were stronger than before. They plundered a lot of weapons and wealth from the Guo family manor and the county town of Dashi County, and they took the tenant farmers of the Guo family and the people of Dashi County together to attack the Wang family. The number has reached [-].

Among the more than 5 refugees, 1000 have started holding long guns, another [-] are wearing light armor, and [-] are even riding war horses.

Those refugees with spears, light armor and war horses are the elite among the refugees, and they are only responsible for supervising the battle team and conducting decisive battles.

The life-consuming things like siege are naturally done by low-level refugees with wooden spears.

Taohuayuan Castle was built on the mountainside, facing a mountain road directly below, and this mountain road was the only land road leading to the Wang family.

Therefore, the refugee army must capture Taohuayuan Castle, otherwise they will be attacked by the royal private soldiers in Taohuayuan Castle on the mountainside at any time during their advance.

The slope of the mountain is very steep, and the refugees have to be careful to slide down in the process of climbing up.

squeak--

The main gate of the castle was opened, and dozens of royal family security guards pulled ten ox carts out of the city. The ox carts were loaded with many rolling logs and stones.

"put!"

Wang Hongyan commanded the Wang family's private soldiers to put down the rolling wood and rocks on the vehicle.

He is the eldest son of Wang Changsheng, magistrate of Dashi County, and he just turned 16 this year.

Rumble!
Rolling logs and rocks rolled down from the mountainside, rolling down a large group of refugees who were struggling to climb the mountain.

In order to prevent the enemy from setting fire to the mountain, the trees around Taohuayuan Castle have been cut down long ago, and there is an underground river under the castle, so there is no shortage of water.

The only thing that may be lacking is food, but a large amount of salted food is stored in the castle, which can be preserved for a long time, and a special cellar has also been built for storage.

If you want to rely on the siege to make the castle die from lack of food, it will take at least two years to siege.

"ignition!"

As early as before the refugees arrived here, the Wang family already knew that the refugees were coming here soon by relying on their condescension, so they poured oil on the hillside early.

At this moment, the refugees rolled to the ground, and Wang Hongyan took the opportunity to set fire.

shhhhhh!
Whoosh!
Dozens of ignited fire arrows shot into the crowd of refugees, igniting the already poured kerosene on the hillside.

crackle crackle crackle!

"what--"

"help me!"

The flames were burning, and hundreds of refugees were burned to death in the blazing heat. The rest of the refugees looked at the fire on the hillside and retreated immediately, not daring to continue to attack.

However, on the bare hillside, kerosene alone cannot burn for a long time.

After the flames disappeared, tens of thousands of refugees once again launched a fierce attack on the castle that was defended by only 200 people.

"kill!!!"

"Taking this castle, the next location is the Royal Manor, where countless wealth is waiting for us!"

"Fight the powerful, divide the fields!"

"Come on!!!"
