A group of small gentry looked at each other, at this time one of them cupped his hands to Gao Dai: "I have hidden some servants, there are about 2000 more."

The other families also said that they can still get a lot of servants, while the Wu family said that the people led by their servants are absolutely loyal to him.

As long as I give him the order to rebel directly from those big clans, it's not a problem.A group of people summed up in a hurry, making Gao Dai feel that they do have a chance to turn things around.

"Okay...then I'll take this bloody letter and go outside to have a look. As long as we draw a clear line with those people, there is a high chance that the woman will let us go."

"It's just that when the time comes, we really may not be as comfortable as before."

A group of people suddenly sighed, but it's better than being controlled by others now, right?

Chapter 460: Black Hand

Zhi Yuan is getting close to Yuan Shu in the tent, although Zhi Yuan still feels that she has no relationship with Yuan Shu, but at least she is a pretty good guy.

The girl from the Cai family doesn't seem to have any feelings for Zhou Yu, but since Zhou Yu said that this girl is a civil servant, Zhi Yuan doesn't mind letting her try.

Just feeling refreshed, Zhi Yuan wiped Yuan Shu's sweat. "Is your health bad? Are you getting old?" Zhi Yuan smiled at the obviously tired Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shudu is already 36, and his body is naturally not as good as when he was in his 20s.He chuckled: "You woman... didn't you just say that you can't stand the pear blossoms with rain?"

"That was just now. The woman recovered quickly, unlike you... I'm afraid it will take half an hour? From tomorrow onwards, I will go to exercise with me every morning, and I will prescribe some medicine for you to recuperate."

"In case my old lady is in her 30s, you won't be of any use... Then don't blame me for hooking up with the badass."

Yuan Shu directly pressed the kite under him again, and then said to the kite, "Don't even think about it!" Then the two rolled together again, and the kite couldn't help laughing like silver bells.

After Zhi Yuan was satisfied and Yuan Shu was exhausted... Zhi Yuan forced the contents out of her body and went outside after drinking some wine refreshed.

There were soldiers waiting here at the gate for almost two hours, but Zhi Yuan had already ordered her not to be called unless it was an important matter.So the soldiers here stayed obediently and did not come in to look for Zhiyuan.

"General... the head of the Gao family in Jianye City sneaked out at night, and has been talking with Zhou Jijiu for a long time now."

Zhou Yu is now considered a temporary sacrificial wine, a position to help Zhiyuan with advice.Zhiyuan nodded: "Can't bear it anymore in the city? Lead the way, let me have a look."

Zhiyuan turned her buttocks and came to the big tent for the guests, Zhou Yu saw Zhiyuan and stood up straight away: "Princess is so late, I thought I had already gone to bed..." It took about two hours for the soldiers to go to Zhiyuan's side.

Zhiyuan smiled lightly, her face still blushing quite a bit.Zhou Yu doesn't have much experience and doesn't know much, but Gao Dai is a human being, so he doesn't know what Zhiyuan just did.

"What a witch..." Gao Dai gave Zhi Yuan a bad evaluation in his heart, and then cupped his hands at Zhi Yuan. No matter what, etiquette is a must, especially now that Gao Dai still asks her.

"Hello, princess, this old man is Gao Dai, Gao Wenrui, one of the great clans of Jianye." Gao Dai didn't talk too much nonsense, and just talked about his own affairs.

Why is there no nonsense, because Gao Dai and Zhou Yu have talked for two hours, and most of the things have been discussed.

On the other hand, Zhou Yu handed the blood book that Gao Dai had given him to Zhiyuan, and briefly talked about what they had finished talking about.

Zhi Yuan knocked on the table: "That is to say, Wei Teng and Xu Gong planned Sun Jian's death?"

Gao Dai nodded: "Yes, there are still four major families in Jianye, only these two participate. The Sheng family and our Gao family are just passively drawn here. After all, sometimes if they don't support them, they will Being targeted, please see the princess..."

Zhiyuan nodded, and then looked at the blood book again. "I keep this thing, I don't have to kill you... I can even keep your property."

"But there is one thing...you can only be loyal to me in the future, or you can say that you are loyal to Qingzhou Emperor."

"Speaking of it, you seem to have made a mistake. I never said that I would kill the entire gentry. How much leisure would I have to kill you all? That wouldn't do any good..."

"Here in Yangzhou, due to some reasons (Sun Quan) in the future, I predict that business and trade will definitely flourish. And the emperor is here, so naturally he needs a spokesperson..."

"I believe you have heard that the state is vigorously promoting business and improving the status of merchants, while the status of nobles is already the same as that of farmers...there is no advantage."

"Naturally, I will set up a special department here to be responsible for the country's sea trade. You can call it the Silk Road on the Sea. And in the future, after Shan Yue is pacified, this large piece of land will be cultivated for food..."

"The farther south you go, the more suitable the climate is for growing food, and there is also sugar cane, which is the necessary product for extracting sugar. Someone has to be responsible for these things. I believe Mr. Gao should be able to imagine the value of these things in his heart."

"This blood letter is a way for you to show your loyalty, but it is far from enough...I still need a real vote."

Gao Dai nodded: "Please tell the princess clearly."

Zhiyuan smiled slightly: "Tomorrow night we will attack the city, you quickly control the situation in the city, and you must capture all the members of the Wei family and the Xu family."

"If we want to attack Jianye, we have already made a perfect plan. But the rest is up to you. We can't let us do everything ourselves."

"You catch everyone, and I will let Sun Ce go and settle accounts with them... Remember, those people are your votes after the rebellion, not Sun Ce's hands, understand?"

After saying this, Gao Dai was sweating profusely. What shocked Gao Dai was that this woman actually said that they didn't need their refuge at all, and it seemed that she was very confident in attacking Jianye City.

There are obviously hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Jianye City, and the surrounding walls are also seven or eight meters long... Where does this woman have confidence.But in the end let them take over the pot of massacring the gentry, maybe it will make them completely break with the gentry.

The woman doesn't trust them at all, or doesn't care about them at all.And they have to bear this blame, otherwise the result can be imagined.

Gao Dai sighed deeply, and then nodded to Zhiyuan: "It's also right to avenge the father, it's our fault if we don't stop it, so now we have a chance to make up for it, we are naturally willing."

Zhiyuan said to Zhou Yu: "Okay, arrange for Mr. Gao to go back as soon as possible. Those big families are not fools. If they find out, your life and death have nothing to do with me."

"Yes, yes..." Gao Dai wiped his sweat, he suddenly felt that the Wei family had indeed sent someone to monitor him, and if something happens in the city after he has been out for so long, his Gao family will really be finished.

Soon Gao Dai will be sent back to Jianye, while Zhiyuan will go back to sleep well.

Gao Dai had just quietly returned to the Gao Mansion when he realized that something was wrong here.Immediately, his whole body became hairy, and he ran to his home immediately.

As soon as Gao Dai came in, he found that there were already hundreds of family members here, and it was all his family members who sealed Gao's mansion to death.Seeing that Gao Dai was his own, he was a little relieved, but at this moment a woman ran up to Gao Dai and burst into tears.

"My son was assassinated...it was done by people from Wei family and Xu family!" The woman said to Gao Dai.

Gao Dai almost fainted, and after he stabilized his mind, he bit his own mouth to bleed.

Chapter 460: Determination

When did this matter come out? It was when Gao Dai quietly went out of the city to negotiate with Zhiyuan.

Gao Dai's son, Gao Peng, was also somewhat capable. Since his father had already planned to do this, he naturally had to go out and win over some influential gentry.After comforting and hinting at some of the gentry, Gao Dai was about to return to his mansion.

But when Gao Dai just walked near the mansion, suddenly a few people rushed over not far away, and these people directly aimed at Gao Dai with a burst of arrows.Although Gao Dai's men tried their best to shoot arrows, but by chance, one of the arrows hit the heart.

Gao Dai couldn't do it right away. After returning to the mansion, he directly ordered his servants to guard the mansion to death, and then he looked at the arrow that hit him. "This was made by the Xu family workshop. It seems that the other party is already on guard against us."

"Let my father avenge me..." Gao Peng vomited blood and died within less than a quarter of an hour.

When Gao Dai came back, his own son's body was so cold.He looked at the arrow that had gone from Gao Peng's body, and then carefully identified it, it was indeed something from Xu's workshop.

Gao Dai suddenly became a little crazy, he said to his wife: "I will definitely avenge Peng'er's revenge, I really didn't expect those people to be so heartless."

"I've already made a deal...Fortunately, I still have two grandchildren. One grandson has gone south with that Sun Quan, and the other grandson is our hope."

"Madam, protect him here... the old man is going out for a while."

Gao Dai's wife also nodded, speaking of which, this woman is quite courageous. "Husband, when that tiger girl enters the city, why not let our grandson learn something from that woman."

"I heard that the woman seems to have a lot of male favourites, why not let her grandson serve her when she grows up. Once she is pregnant with a child...wouldn't the status of our Gao family rise? I'll see who dares to mess with us then! "

"Husband, be careful, let this concubine take revenge with her own hands after all those traitors are wiped out!"

Gao Dai froze, he didn't expect his mother-in-law to be so cruel.Although this woman is considered aggressive on weekdays, she did not expect this woman to be quite courageous at this time.

So Gao Dai nodded, then sighed and wiped his tears with his hands: "I know, we will avenge Peng'er with our own hands."

After saying this, Gao Dai walked out directly.As soon as Gao Dai arrived at the door, a soldier came in front of Gao Dai: "My lord, Xu Gong is asking to see you outside."

Gao Dai's face turned cold, and he couldn't help clenching his fists. "What is he doing here!" Gao Dai really wanted to kill Xu Gong with his illness, but he still calmed down and led people out of Gaofu.

Xu Gong was standing there at the door, and there were many servants behind Xu Gong, and the two sides had a feeling that they were about to confront each other.

Seeing Gao Dai coming out, Xu Gong directly bowed to the end: "Mr. Gao...I'm here to clarify. I heard that Young Master Ling was killed today, and the weapons seem to flow out of my Xu family workshop."

"I will definitely give Mr. Gao an explanation for this matter, but I did not do this matter."

Gao Dai sneered, but he still shook his head: "I will investigate this matter myself, and now I want to prepare for my son's funeral, so I don't need you to participate."

Xu Gong nodded in embarrassment, but finally said to Gao Dai: "This matter has nothing to do with our Xu family. It is impossible for us to attack the Gao family at this time. There must be something hidden in it. .”

Gao Dai's figure paused, but soon he left directly.After Gao Dai left, he couldn't help but said angrily: "It's really clean, what are you doing here, come and try my words?"

If Gao Dai behaved as if he didn't care, that would be to make the other party vigilant.The investigation must be investigated. If there is no such statement, the other party will probably attack him.After all, his son died without any reaction, so wouldn't it be a black hand?

Therefore, Gao Dai must maintain a state that the other party cannot suspect and looks very normal, otherwise the three gentry are afraid that they will attack him today.

After Gao Dai left, Xu Gong looked at the people around him: "Send someone to see where this old man is going?"

"This old man can't let him make a fuss. It's hard to stabilize our Jianye internally now. I don't know who did it, but put this hat on my head!"

"But the other party has a lot of people. If you forcefully control the other party's servants, conflicts may break out... This old man really wants to avenge his son, and he doesn't care. Even if he controls him, it will not be easy."

"It's really troublesome, who killed his son? Damn, don't you think we are not messy enough at this time?" Xu Gong cursed secretly.

But soon he also thought of something, maybe someone outside the city did it?If this is really the case, Gao Dai cannot be killed. Once there is civil turmoil in the city, and there are tiger girls in the city, I am afraid they will take advantage of the chaos to open the city gate.

The other party seemed to be forcing them to have civil strife, which was indeed not what Xu Gong wanted to see.But Gao Dai's son died, no matter whether it was Xu Gong, Na Wei Teng or others, they didn't know what to do.

Killing is not enough, how can comfort be comforted?Those assassins didn't know where they went, and there was no evidence to prove that they didn't kill themselves. Those weapons were all produced in his workshop, and they didn't know when they were taken away.

Now I can only be careful and watch what Gao Dai wants to do.Xu Gong was also a little depressed, but fortunately, their control over Jianye is still relatively good, so many people soon inquired about the Gao family's news.

But because the Gao family signed a blood letter with a group of people earlier, each of these people was very careful.After all, it really came to such a time, that one would not hesitate to die.They didn't even take the initiative to contact the Gao family. Anyway, the Gao family acted in the end, so they just listened to it.

What else can be found here, the Gao family is not a fool, how could they take the initiative to contact those small families.Gao Dai came to his barracks, and then led more than 5000 people with great fanfare to start the whole search.

The Gao family still has this ability. It would be too suspicious if their own son died and didn't do anything.All of a sudden, the whole Jianye was jumping up and down again, and even Gao's family temporarily executed many suspects.

However, the remaining families basically acquiesced in this situation. As long as the Gao family does not fight with them, it is not impossible for them to back down on some things.

But what these few families didn't expect was that the Gao family took advantage of this settlement operation to successfully contact the small nobles who had taken refuge in him, and even arranged the time and steps of the attack.

Chapter 470: Asymmetric War

On the surface, Jianye seems to be becoming more and more stable, while the Qingzhou Army outside the city is still building engineering equipment.The dynamite kite brought some, but the kite planned to bloom more.So after besieging Jianye, Zhiyuan produced more than a dozen construction vehicles.

It is a bit similar to the well rail in the game of the Three Kingdoms, but the front is more solid, and there are wooden wheels as a push below.In addition, the craftsmen made the paper kite a good fireproof treatment, and the surroundings, including the wooden wheel, were wrapped with iron sheets.There is a platform above that can place about a hundred archers, and there is also a normal passage for soldiers below to reach the city wall.

This configuration is naturally very effective, and has a very strong deterrent effect on the soldiers of the gentry on the city wall.Those soldiers didn't have any formal training, Zhi Yuan didn't think they could last long on the city wall.

Zhiyuan would not fight a war of attrition here in Jianye, which would waste financial and material resources like that.Chopping up the mess, and then cleaning up everything, is what Zhiyuan has to do.

The main direction of attack is on the west side of Jianye. It is said that the city is attacked at night, but because it is summer, the sun has not yet set when the city is actually attacked.The kite mainly uses the light of the sun to make it more difficult for the defenders.

The main attack is the west gate, and the north gate is blocked by Gan Ning.The remaining two gates were blocked with ditches, and tens of thousands of people were left in ambush.Basically, the other party rushed out [-] to [-], and Zhi Yuan was confident that they would not let them break through the line of defense.

Wei Teng came to the top of the city at the first time, and when he saw the well fence that was higher than the city wall, he was immediately frightened.Now the sun is behind the well fence, and the huge well fence forms a huge shadow in the afterglow of the sun.

And the archers above had already started to shoot arrows, and the soldiers on the city wall were directly swept down a large area.Wei Teng was immediately protected by someone, and ran down from the top of the city wall.

"Send someone over here and gather all the archers here!" Wei Teng shouted to his men.

Then Wei Teng also calmed down, and continued to issue orders to his subordinates: "Shoot all the kerosene over here, and burn those well rails for me!"

Wei Teng knew clearly in his heart that the threat of this thing from the opponent was too great.Moreover, the opponent's army is also very elite. Once the opponent attacks the city wall, they may really not be able to defend it.

They couldn't defend the opponent's first attack on the city, that would be too embarrassing, isn't it.Morale is a thing of buoyancy. If this time it can withstand the attack of the Qingzhou Army, then Jianye has a good chance.Nine will be able to keep down.

So Wei Teng is also desperate, and directly asked people to find people from the Xu family and the Sheng family, because after seeing the dense arrow rain, Wei Teng felt that he could rely on his own thousands of archers. It may not be able to suppress the attack on the well rail.

After all, there are 100 people on a well fence, but now there are thirteen or four well fences.There are close to 500 people condescendingly attacking the top of the Jianye city wall, what a fart they are.

The people on the city wall were constantly being shot, but Wei Teng still ordered people to go up and fill it.And let some people with shields defend the archers, just to hold on until the remaining gentry soldiers arrive.

And the archers on the top of the well were not in a hurry, they changed shifts and shot down.In just half an hour, more than 500 people were killed or injured on the city wall.

At this time, Wei Teng's subordinates reported that the kerosene was finally ready.But there is another headache, that is, those well rails are not close to the city wall at all, they are about 80 meters away from the city wall and shoot from top to bottom, and they can't throw it.

"Hey!" Wei Teng gritted his teeth, and then said to a confidant: "You immediately lead 2000 people out of the city, and use kerosene to light the opponent's well rail."

At this time Xu Gong also came here. He looked at the situation outside and shook his head: "I'm afraid two thousand is not enough, I'm adding 2000 people. There are also many enemies outside. I'm afraid that even 2000 people can't reach the well. below."

Sheng Xian on the other side said that they also sent out 2000 people, and the Qingzhou army was already waiting in full force outside, and if there were fewer people going out, they might not even be able to make a splash.After these people went out, Xu Gong said to Wei Teng: "I'm afraid these people won't be able to come back."

Wei Teng also nodded: "Try not to open the door for them for a while, otherwise the Qingzhou army will definitely come in." They are a group of gentry who don't care about the life and death of those subordinates. Since they are out of the city, they will naturally be abandoned.

As for abandoning his subordinates to lower morale?As long as they can resist the Qingzhou Army's first attack, they don't care about lowering their morale.To put it bluntly, they also knew in their hearts that the Qingzhou Army was powerful, so the easiest way was to use people to fill it.

Xu Gong immediately fell to nearly a thousand archers, and Jinglan also switched defenses. It was very easy for a hundred archers to switch defenses. Countless people are shot by arrows every moment.

Many people have already started to retreat below the city wall, because above the city wall is to die, how much morale can the soldiers composed of servants have?

Xu Gong rushed directly to the bottom of the city wall and shouted at everyone: "No retreat, anyone who retreats will be killed immediately!"

The supervising team is the elite of others. After hacking and killing more than a dozen deserters, the city wall barely stabilized.But now the people on the city wall are basically clinging to the female wall, as for the counterattack?Don't talk nonsense, saving your life is the most important thing.
