……

In addition, he still has a different idea.

A different idea from most Sangoshi.

Rather than looting, killing the principals in the city and then leaving, Yan Hu hopes that he can take down the city and occupy it, as his own territory, and wantonly drive the people in the city.

Perhaps this is a trace of wish hidden in his blood.

As a mixed race of Shanyue and Han people, he is not exactly like those pure Yue people, holding that kind of absolute opposite idea.

What he hopes to achieve more is to have a city that belongs to the Yue people.

It's not like it is now, everything is respected by the Han people.

……

Like many leaders in Shanyue, Yan Hu, the leader of this branch of Yue people, is not a Yue man, or not a pure Yue man.

His ancestry, the maternal line can be traced back to a Yue people's blood, and he couldn't survive the life of fleeing everywhere in the south, so he found a way to sneak into Wu County and seek asylum from a family in Wu County.

Of course, for such a small clan with only a few hundred people, it is naturally impossible to compete with behemoths like Gu, Lu, Zhu, and Zhang.

It was Yan Hu's patrilineal family, the powerful Yan family in Wu County, who finally took in this small Shanyue clan.

After the fusion of the two forces, they often intermarried. Slowly, this Shanyue branch became a small branch of the Yan family in Wu County, and was responsible for handling some matters that were inconvenient for the Yan family to solve themselves. Reduced to the white glove of the upper class family in Wu County.

It was against this background that Yan Hu was born.

……

Maybe it's because of his blood. After Yan Hu was born, even though he was also the "son" of the Yan family, he was never welcomed by the upper class of Wu County.

Whether it is the real big families or the Yan family of their own, they seem to treat these "hybrids" like tools.

Later, after Yan Hu's mother passed away, he was unwilling to be dominated by the Wujun family, so he fled with his brother Yan Yu and lived in the mountains and forests.

……

In the beginning, he was a bandit, a military commander, and he also served as a striker for other leaders of forces.

But no matter what way, Wu Jun's aristocratic family is like a mountain pressing on his head.

Economically, politically, and even culturally, these aristocratic families have been rooted in the soil called "Wu County" like a thousand-year-old tree, constantly exuding their own influence.

Until a few years ago, Yan Hu used the Yue blood in his body to marry the eldest daughter of the patriarch of the Yue clan, and then inherited the other party's political legacy after the death of the patriarch. Break free from the control of the family.

……

Chapter 45 Yan Hu's plan

It has to be admitted that in today's Jiangdong, especially in Wu County, due to the decline of imperial power, the aristocratic family is the actual person in power, and their influence on the people is far higher than many people's imagination.

For things that seem to be out of reach, such as local banditry, or abnormal price changes, there are often shadows of these aristocratic families behind them.

Even in order to protect their own rights, buying murderers and hiring outsiders to solve the troubles that they are inconvenient to solve are all things these aristocratic families often do.

It is precisely because of this that in the last years of the feudal dynasty, those prefects and county magistrates who have no real power in their hands often have only two paths to go——

That is to either honestly be a mascot who can only stamp, and follow the advice of the family below in everything, just like Liu Biao who just went south to Jingzhou.

Or, resign decisively and go home, and must not participate in the struggle with these "local evil forces".

……

For Yan Hu, because he himself grew up in such an environment, whether it is the dirty things in the upper class of Wu County, or the helplessness of ordinary people facing the family, he can understand Yes, and it can be said to be very clear.

At the same time, it was precisely because of this that after gaining his own power through some small means, the first thing he did was to elevate himself to an equal position with those aristocratic families.

……

That's right, even though Yan Hu hated those aristocratic families very much, he didn't say he could do it. Like in many rumors, he completely separated himself from the aristocratic families in the first place and drew a line of demarcation.

What he did was to sit on an equal footing with the family and solve the problem in a "cooperative" way, instead of being handed over by the family to survive as before.

……

Like this time, some time ago, one of the talkers in the upper class of Wu County, a representative of the Zhu family approached him and said that he wanted to cooperate with him.

After listening to the conditions put forward by the other party, Yan Hu thought about it again and again, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed.

Originally, according to his temperament, when he saw that the other party introduced himself as the representative of the Wu Jun family, he was already planning to drive him away, but Yan Hu was a little concerned about what the man promised him.

According to what the somewhat chubby businessman said, this time, it was the aristocratic families of the upper echelons of Wu County who proposed to join forces with Zu Lang, the leader of Shanyue in the Danyang area, to attack Zhang Yan, the prefect of Lujiang in Lujiang County in the west, and wanted the other party to start from Jiangdong. Gone from the land forever.

Zulang, he is very familiar with this.

The other party is the Zong Shuai who is respected by the Baiyue clan in the entire Jiangdong area, and even the tribe he belongs to respects the other party in name.

The other party is the sect, and they are the clan, and this simple continuation relationship between the upper and lower is determined in this way.

But what about the other person?

According to his understanding, the court official who can make Jiangdong's black and white parties work together to eradicate him may not be a small person.What is this guy? How come he, Yan Hu, has never heard of it?

……

It was precisely because he was so curious about Zhang Yan's existence that Yan Hu agreed to the businessman from the Zhu family to lead many coalition forces as a general to surprise Lujiang Wancheng in the absence of Zhang Yan.

This is also the reason why the sources of soldiers and horses under his hands are chaotic, and there are all kinds of people.

For example, more than 1 domestic slaves raised by many local families in Wu County, more than 1 "cannon fodder troops" called by Zulang to him, let him demolish, and soldiers from Yan Hu's wife's clan...

Adding all these things together, the number has already exceeded [-], and even approached [-].

The so-called [-] army is just the number of soldiers of his own clan.

These 2 people are the foundation for him to settle down in Jiangdong. They are the people in his hands and the soldiers who fight. Once lost, the loss will be great.

He, Yan Hu, was reluctant to send such an elite to die when he actually attacked the city.

It is precisely because of this that the quality of the soldiers transferred to him by these "allies" is really limited, which led to the battle being fought for several days, and even when he personally led the troops into the battle, he still failed to win.

If it were the elite main force under his command, they would have already entered Wancheng.

……

It can be said that until just now, Yan Hu did it with the intention of saving the soldiers under his command.

That is to say, the so-called dead friends are not dead poor people, the extremely dangerous tasks of charging to death and attacking cities and villages, all of which he handed over to the soldiers raised by the Wujun family and the cannon fodder that Zu Lang photographed him .

As for now, after three days of siege operations, Yan Hu understood.

If he continued to save, it might not be his own loss, but his life that would be saved.

From the opponent's point of view, Yan Hu also had to admit that the opponent's defense forces in Wancheng seemed to have an unexpected resilience. Even if they were on the verge of crisis several times, they could always persist miraculously.

And this is definitely not going to work.

If the other party persists, he will not be able to persist.

In a day or two at most, either he will take down Wan City fiercely and eat hot food, or he will be directly captured by the defenders who return to help, and will be slaughtered as a trophy...

Thinking of this, Yan Hu no longer hesitated, but turned around and looked at the man beside him, who was also as tall and burly as himself, and at the same time dressed as a warrior.

……

"Brother, how many brothers under our command can go to the battlefield now?"

"The seriously injured and those bastards don't count, how many of us are there now?"

……

He asked viciously to his elder brother Yan Yu, because this was their own camp and there were no outsiders in the camp, so Yan Hu's expression looked a little fierce.

Come to think of it, now is also the time.

Raising soldiers for thousands of days and using them for a short period of time, if losses are considered in everything, it is equivalent to being bound by losses.

It will definitely not work if this continues.

……

"Our own people?"

Hearing this, the not too tall but extremely burly man next to him was slightly stunned for a moment, and then quickly became excited.

"Second brother, there were more than 8000 masters who came out of the stockade with us, and now all of them are doing well, and the idlers are about to grow hair!"

"Why, are you finally going to let us do it?"

"To fight or not to fight, you will give a letter of approval. Those bastards usually don't listen to anyone, they just listen to the two of us."

"Second brother, please nod your head. I, as the eldest brother, will personally lead the team to attack the city later, and help you meet the heroes of Lujiang for a while!"

Chapter 46 The Name of Yan Baihu

Want to get started?

Yan Hu only thought about this question for a moment before he got the answer.

……

"Okay, then pass on my order to go down and start beating the drums immediately, and set off after the three drums, and attack Wancheng again!"

"This time, you will lead the team, big brother, and I will be in the army. I will definitely take this small town down!"

"Everyone, don't forget what I told you before I set off... This operation is not just a looting for us, but a matter of great importance!"

"I'm here to show you the bottom line first. I will take this city down no matter what."

"If all of you are lucky enough to take this Wancheng over there today, I will enter the city to share the glory and wealth!"

"If you don't have this luck..."

……

"Hehe, if you don't have this blessing, then please take a good look at it in the sky in the future."

"Look at how I lead my brothers to live a good life step by step!"

……

Gritting his teeth, he said to the crowd that this siege was indeed of great significance to Yan Hu, so he did not hide it at all, but revealed the truth to the crowd slightly.
