After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Chapter 258 All-out war

"Master He, how about we rush out and kill the enemy?"

"No! This is obviously a trick of the enemy. He first exhausted all the bows and arrows and rolling stones in our city, just to lure us out of the city! Don't fall into the trap! Our city walls are indestructible. As long as we stick to the city, they will have food and grass. If the supply of military supplies is insufficient, we will naturally retreat if we can’t use it up!”

"Sir, someone is here again!!"

Magistrate He's expression changed greatly, and then he looked over, only to hear the soldier beside him say: "Sir, it seems that they are not rebels...but more like the surrounding farmers..."

Magistrate He then shouted to the people below: "Who are you, Dejiang County will not accept refugees, retreat quickly, or we will be waiting for you with bows and arrows!"

But where are the bows and arrows?
Their bows and arrows had been deceived by the rebels last night!

I saw that the villagers did not speak, but approached the city gate little by little, which made the people on the city wall feel numb...

What on earth do these people want to do?
I saw that the leading man was a tall and thick man. He was holding something like an iron cylinder in his hand, and then he pointed it at the people upstairs.

"Sir, is this a hidden weapon?!" a soldier shouted in horror.

"Isn't this hidden weapon just an iron cylinder? What are you afraid of?"

The man started talking to the iron cylinder.

The man spoke with great force, and his voice was so loud that it made people's heads buzz.

There was a faint echo, not to mention the city wall, but even the people in the city could hear it clearly!

"People in Dejiang County, we are villagers from the nearby Jiming Village!"

Jiming Village?
Isn't that the territory of the rebels in Jinzhou Prefecture? It's not far from Dejiang County.

The soldiers on the city wall all stretched out their ears, curious about what the villagers had to say.

Magistrate He's expression changed drastically, and he said quickly: "Quickly, quickly, drive them away, don't let them talk here and confuse the public!"

The soldier looked troubled: "Sir, we have no bows and arrows. What if we open the city to drive them away and the rebels take this opportunity to attack?"

Another soldier said: "We still have a few rolling logs——"

Magistrate He shook his head, "Is it possible that we want to kill unarmed civilians?"

During this interval, the strong man was still speaking loudly to the iron tube, his voice deafening.

"You don't know yet, Xingyuan Mansion has been occupied by our city lord! Your Xingyuan Mansion is already our territory. At the moment, only the people in Dejiang County and the two neighboring counties have not surrendered. The people in other cities The city has been dedicated to the city a long time ago, and the grain distribution has even begun!"

At this moment, Magistrate He finally understood what these rebels were planning!
These traitors have vicious thoughts!
He even asked the villagers of Jinzhou Prefecture to help persuade him to surrender!

But they said that Xingyuan Mansion was occupied. Is this true or false?

Sure enough, when the soldiers on the city wall heard the words "divide the fields and distribute food", they obviously looked a little dazed.

"Don't you know that our soldiers in Jinzhou Prefecture are never in arrears for their wages of one tael a month. They are provided with three meals a day, and you can eat as much rice as you like. There is no charge for treatment of the sick and disabled. If the war Death Battlefield, our city lord will help you take care of your mother and child until your parents die or the child grows up!"

Magistrate He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He quickly shouted to the soldiers beside him: "What are you doing, what are you doing?! Drive them away quickly! Squad leader Li, what are you doing standing still? Go down and drive them away!"

Bantou Li seemed to have come back to his senses, agreed repeatedly, and then walked quickly down the city wall.

After turning a corner, he slowed down, his ears perked up, and he only cared about what the man outside was saying.

"Xingyuan Prefecture has surrendered, and Dejiang County will be captured by us sooner or later. If you don't open the city gate today, tens of thousands of troops from Jinzhou Prefecture will come to the city in the future! We are all poor people, just dress and eat, don't worry about him Who is the emperor? As a commoner of Jinzhou Prefecture, the city lord taught our children how to read and write for free, and also sent people to teach us how to raise Lan County pigs. Now every child in Jiming Village who is over five years old can read and write. , every household raises pigs, and life is so many times better than before!”

"Everyone, think about it again. This winter is coming. Have you forgotten what we had last winter? In Jinzhou Mansion, there were people dying of hunger everywhere, and the official roads were full of skeletons! But since we followed the city lord, we The bacon will be smoked in October! The winter food distributed by the city lord has also been delivered to us. I don’t know how prosperous this year will be!”

"What's the point of you guys guarding the city gate? Do the dog officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty care about your life and death? If you are guarding the city gate now, you may starve to death next month. If you don't do it for yourself, you will You have to think about your sons and daughters. Anyway, the children here have already begun to read and write. When the time comes, the imperial examination will be far behind you! Surrender as soon as possible and live a good life as soon as possible, our Jinzhou. The soldiers in the government are very well-behaved and never kill innocent people indiscriminately when they enter the city! If you want to live a good life, please quickly advise Mr. He to open the door and surrender!"

When Mr. He heard this, his eyes were about to burst, and he pointed at the people below and yelled: "The evil words are confusing the people! The evil words are confusing the people! Where is Team Leader Li, why haven't you left the city gate to drive them away!"

A soldier beside him frowned and said to Mr. He: "Sir, I heard that Jinzhou Prefecture never kills or loots when entering the city, and Xingyuan Prefecture has surrendered. Why don't we open the city gate and surrender too?"

Magistrate He raised his eyebrows, then drew out the long sword from the waist of the person behind him and let it go forward.

The person who spoke widened his eyes and looked at the bloody hole in his waist with some disbelief, and then slowly fell to the ground.

This sudden change shocked everyone on the city wall.

Everyone's expressions changed drastically and they looked panicked.

Magistrate He actually beheaded a soldier on the spot!
"All this is just a trick by the rebels. How can Xingyuan Mansion surrender to the rebels if it has 10,000 troops?! Whoever dares to say surrender and shake the morale of the army will end up like this!"

Everyone looked at Magistrate He with blood on his face and felt quite frightened.

But at this moment, the man below shouted at the right time: "Your Lord He, who is eating the salary of the imperial court, must hold on to the end. He has no way to surrender. If he surrenders, he will lose his head! You guys It doesn't matter whether he loses his head or not. He only wants to keep his head and official position, so even if you are all dead, he can't surrender! Soldiers, please think more about your mothers and sons, and don't follow your county foolishly. Lord, if you open the city gate earlier, you can get food for the winter earlier! This food for the winter is limited, and when the two neighboring counties are captured, you will be able to get even less!"

When the soldiers on the city wall heard this, they faced Magistrate He with blood on his face, and finally their eyes changed slightly.

yes. Officials only care about keeping their official positions and do not care about the lives of the people.

He, Lord He, would have his head chopped off by the court if he lost the city, but they lost the city, but they could live a good life dividing their fields and providing food!

Magistrate He's hand holding the long sword trembled slightly, as if he sensed the wolf-like gazes around him, he couldn't help but his throat rolled, "You... don't listen to the evil words to confuse the public, you are wearing a big Zhou The official uniforms of the imperial dynasty are also the salary of the Great Zhou Dynasty. How do you know that the rebels will not burn, kill and loot when they enter the city? There are 12,000 people in Dejiang County behind you. Don't forget your responsibilities!"

While the soldiers on the city wall were hesitating, they heard the city gate below being slowly pushed open. Liu Dazhuang in the distance looked through his binoculars and immediately shouted: "People from Jiming Village, run quickly! Someone is coming out of the city!"

The people in Jiming Village ran away immediately after hearing this, but it was Team Leader Li who came out. He shouted: "Soldiers of Jinzhou Prefecture, the door has been opened, everyone rush in-"

Everyone was shocked by this statement.

When the soldiers on the city wall saw that all Captain Li had surrendered to the enemy, they almost immediately shouted: "All Captain Li has surrendered to the enemy, let's also kill the county magistrate to take credit!"

"No, the county magistrate is a good official. Let's tie him up and hand him over to the city lord!" Magistrate He was shocked and wanted to run away, so more than a dozen people grabbed him and tied him up.

Besides, under the city wall, the soldiers in charge of the city gate looked at each other in confusion. It seemed that no one expected that Captain Li would surrender to the enemy as soon as he left the house.

Someone shouted: "Close the city gate quickly!"

He was about to pull the lifting rope, but he was suddenly pushed away. Someone drew his sword out of its sheath and said, "Today, let's see who dares to touch this city gate!"

"You... you... Wang Chaoyou, you... you want to rebel?"

The man smiled coldly, "It doesn't matter who becomes the emperor. Whoever pays me wages and makes me eat well, I will recognize him as the emperor!"

When Li Datou saw that the rebels in Jinzhou Prefecture had not made any move, he knew that they could not trust him. While hesitating, he suddenly heard someone shouting from upstairs: "Bandou Li, we have tied up Mr. He, please call Jinzhou." The soldiers of the government enter the city!"

Li Datou was overjoyed, clamped his legs on the horse's belly, rushed out all the way, and shouted to the empty forest: "Soldiers of Jinzhou Prefecture, Magistrate He has been arrested by us, please hurry up Enter the city quickly!”

Liu Dazhuang and the others were hiding in the mountains and forests. At this moment, he was highly nervous and pointed his telescope at the city gate.

The soldiers also looked wary.

Ren Chuang, on the other hand, was so greedy for the telescope in Liu Dazhuang's hand that he drooled, "General Liu, when will we be able to use this telescope for us?"

Liu Dazhuang took off the telescope and threw it to Ren Chuang without any care, "For the sake of your success in attacking the city, I'll let you have a look."

Ren Chuang immediately cheered, and the people next to him were so envious that their eyes turned red.

This is the new telescope launched by the institute!
The legendary immortal who can see hundreds of miles away!
Currently, only the old members of the Xu family's political team can own one.

Ren Chuang looked at the city wall through the telescope and couldn't help but pat his thigh, "God, this is so clear! You can clearly see a few hairs on the mouths of the people on this wall -"

"It's too exaggerated. Lend me your help——"

Liu Dazhuang suddenly stepped forward with his sword in hand, "Stop the ink stain. Magistrate He has been arrested. Let's attack the city now!"

"Okay!"

A loud and uniform shout!
Soon, Xu Zhenying received the battle report.

It was already late at night, and she was sitting in the conference room of the government office. She received battle reports from several war zones almost at the same time.

"The good news is that Dejiang County, Guanghan County and Liushui County have been captured. At present, Xu Huijia's Kangjian County is the only one left in the five-way vanguard team and has not yet been captured."

Mo Jinchun, Gu Guihua and others immediately looked happy.

However, the second battle report made Xu Zhenying frown.

Mo Jinchun quickly asked: "City Lord, what happened during the siege?"

Xu Zhenying pointed to the battle report from the west, "The battle report from Lu Fei said that Sanping County is very uneasy, and there are changes in the Zhoushan King's people. It is estimated that we and the man from the west will be at war soon."

Mo Jinchun was a little worried: "Lu Fei only brought 3,000 troops, while the King of Zhoushan claims to have 200,000 troops. If he really takes action, how should we respond?"

Xu Zhenying smiled bitterly, "It's not just that one move can affect the whole body. This time, if the people in the west take action, King Li in the south will not be outdone. Jinchun, we are now under attack from both sides!"

These words silenced everyone present.

Seeing this, Chang Zizai took the initiative to ask for help: "City Lord, now that Xingyuan Mansion has been captured by us, I think most of the people have surrendered voluntarily, and there should be no troublemakers. What if I took the remaining 500 people to help Sanping County? ?”

Xu Zhenying nodded, "Take my handwriting again and ask Qian Zhenniang to send 10,000 more troops to Sanping County."

Chang Zizi looked happy and responded quickly.

Zhao Qionian was eager to make contributions and was obviously a little anxious, "City Lord, why don't I go with Brother Chang? We have been here for a long time and have been idle, which makes people feel very panicked."

Xu Zhenying smiled and said: "Brother Zhao, don't worry. You have just arrived in our territory and you don't understand many of the rules yet. I'll wait for you to get familiar with the environment first. You'll be busy in two days."

Zhao Qionian felt a little relieved and sat down again.

Since occupying Xingyuan Mansion, Xu Zhenying has not arranged specific affairs for him. Sun Qingchen and Mr. Lin were all assigned by Anbei to cooperate with Fang Xun in government affairs, but their group was not assigned specific tasks and only cooperated flexibly, which inevitably gave them a feeling of not being taken seriously.

They traveled thousands of miles not just to eat, drink and reminisce about old times!
But what does Xu Zhenying mean by familiar environment?
Zhao Qionian read these sentences over and over again, always feeling that they were somewhat meaningful.

Fang Xun was even more worried, "Our Jinzhou Mansion only has a total of more than 40,000 troops. Now we have 30,000 troops. There are only 10,000 guards in Jinzhou Mansion, and it has almost become an empty city."

"Fang Xun, don't worry. Jinzhou Mansion is now located in the hinterland. Even if all the guards are mobilized, there should be no problem."

After everyone had dispersed, Xu Zhenying said to Fang Xun alone: ​​"Fang Xun, the situation is more tense than we thought. Look at Qianzhou's letter."

Xu Zhenying handed the letter in his hand to Fang Xun.

Fang Xun took a look and was shocked: "They actually want to take the initiative to send troops to attack King Li?"

Xu Zhenying nodded, "Yes. But if we really follow Zhang Wanjun's method, we have no chance of winning."

Fang Xun objected: "City Lord, think twice! Even if we add the 20,000 brothers from Qianzhou Prefecture, it would be extremely unwise for us to take the initiative to provoke King Li. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and we can provoke that huge number of people with only 20,000 people." However, what if the giant beast lures the wolf into the house? What's more, the brothers of the Qianzhou natives have not gone through serious training, and they are both good and bad. How can they capture King Li who claims to have hundreds of thousands of soldiers? "

"Fang Xun, if we don't provoke King Li, they will attack us. We are destined to have a battle with King Li, big and small."

"But there are morning and evening battles. Our front is too long right now and there are troops everywhere. It is too risky to attack the south at this time!"

"The so-called opportunity is found in danger. Therefore, Prince Li would never have thought that we would dare to attack them when we are so helpless. In this way, we can kill them by surprise."

Fang Xun knew that once Xu Zhenying made a decision, it would be almost difficult to reverse it, so he had no choice but to keep silent.

The meeting seemed to have ended unhappily.
