Seeing that his soldiers were retreating steadily with heavy casualties, Wei Yan roared angrily, forced Qin Tian back with a sword, turned around and killed him.
"Gan Ning, capture this man alive!" Qin Tian would not let Wei Yan get his wish, so Jingfan easily caught up with Wei Yan and shot straight into Wei Yan's heart, forcing him to return to defense, while shouting loudly.
Huang Zhong left. Although Qin Tian regretted it, it was not unacceptable. However, if Wei Yan left again, his trip to Jiangbei would be a loss. Qin Tian automatically ignored the huge reward he would receive after returning to Qingtian City.
Wei Yan blocked Qin Tian's golden spear with his backhand, and clamped his legs hard on the horse's belly. The horse was in pain, and it moved a little faster, widening the distance between him and Qin Tian, and instantly reached his own formation.
, the original two thousand troops now have less than three hundred men left, and almost everyone is injured.
'Why is this happening?' He looked at the enemy troops surrounding them with grief and anger. Wei Yan roared with grief and anger in his heart. He was obviously the hunter, but unknowingly, the situation was turned upside down by Qin Tian.
It even changed the situation in Jiangbei area in one fell swoop.
Although he expressed disdain for the title of traitor and traitor, deep down in his heart, he also sincerely admired Qin Tian's ability to turn things upside down. However, admiration did not mean recognition. At least the label of traitor and traitor was really avoided by people.
It's just the situation in front of him... Wei Yan closed his eyes and took a deep breath. There was no need to think about these useless things anymore.
"General Wenchang, at this point, are you willing to surrender?" Qin Tian, escorted by Gan Ning, came to Wei Yan and asked with a smile, looking at the desperate Wei Yan.
"A loyal minister will do nothing to the two masters. Wei Yan would rather die than surrender!" Wei Yan snorted coldly and said without turning his head.
"General Wei said this, it is inevitable that there is some anger. It is better to be like this. You will be captured without any effort. I will never embarrass you and your subordinates. Follow me back to Qingtian City. We will talk about other things later!" Qin Tian didn't care.
Although in history Wei Yan easily voted for Liu Bei, Qin Tian believed that his personality charm was not inferior to Liu Bei's. However, his reputation was so bad that it was obviously not easy to conquer Wei Yan so easily.
"Huh!" Wei Yan stared, wanting to refuse, but after taking a look at his subordinates who looked desperate behind him, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and nodded sadly...
Jiangdong, Qingtian City, is a very gorgeous manor. This is the manor that Qin Tian reciprocated after the Gu and Lu families joined Qingtian City and was specially given to the Gu family to serve as the headquarters of the Gu family in Qingtian City.
Since joining Qingtian City, Qin Tian has not neglected the Gu Lu family. Although he did not return the original property to them, he allowed the Gu Lu family to enter the Qingtian Chamber of Commerce. Not only did the Gu Lu family not weaken, but because of
Qingtian City's support has grown a lot, and many family members have served as officials in the counties governed by Qingtian City. Many talented people have held important positions. The most famous among them is Gu Hao's eldest son Gu Yong, who is a historical figure.
The famous prime minister of Soochow has now gradually revealed his talents.
Gu Yong is only the county magistrate of Qingtian City now. The county magistrate of a third-level county is nothing. However, Qingtian City is different. As the main city of Jiangdong, Jiaozhou, and even Nanman's twenty counties, the county magistrate of Qingtian City has a lot to manage.
It is just a small Qingtian City, but it also has to take charge of the internal affairs and people's livelihood of the sixteen counties under the rule of the entire Qingtian City. It has great authority.
As the head of the Gu family, Gu Yong has no fame, but because the family has a talent like Gu Yong, he is considered the number one person in Qingtian City. Even Luo Yun, the wife of the city owner, is respectful to Gu Hao when she sees her.
Both Gu Hao and Gu Yong were very satisfied with the current situation.
However, both Gu Hao and Gu Yong knew very well that this honor was not easy to bear, especially now that the Lord of Qingtian City was missing...
"Yuan Tan, has there been any news about Wu Hou recently?" In the study, the flickering candlelight made the light in the room a little dim, but Gu Hao's originally cloudy eyes were now extremely clear.
"Well, news came yesterday that Wu Hou provoked a war between Yuan and Liu in Jiangbei, and the Sun-Liu alliance was broken. Although the pursuit of Wu Hou is still in name, but... haha..." Gu Yong did not continue, a discerning person
It can be seen that the alliance between Sun and Liu is now powerless against Qin Tian. With Yuan Shu on the side, Liu Biao cannot be distracted from dealing with Qin Tian, but Sun Ce is beyond his reach and powerless.
"Wu Hou is regarded as a hero in troubled times with his martial arts and martial arts. It's a pity that he has this reputation..." Gu Hao shook his head. Qin Tian had brought miracles not once or twice. He was already numb. Then he frowned and said: "But recently Qin Tian
The atmosphere in Tiancheng is a bit uneasy."
"Now the people under the rule of Qingtian City are stable and prosperous, and under Wu Hou, there are also many talented people, some clowns. Why should father worry? As long as my Gu family does not get involved in this whirlpool, my Gu family can protect itself.
No worries." Gu Yong sneered disdainfully.
"I know this, but when Marquis Wu was here, he could frighten Xiao Xiao, but now that Marquis Wu won't come back for many days, I'm worried..." Gu Hao said worriedly.
Before he finished speaking, a family member suddenly came to report: "Sir, the head of the Xie family, Xie Yi, and the head of the Huan family, Huan Jie, want to see you."
Gu Hao and his son couldn't help but frown when they heard this. Gu Hao snorted coldly and was about to refuse, but Gu Yong was already one step ahead and said: "Please come quickly!"
"My son, what does this mean?" Gu Hao looked at Gu Yong in surprise.
Gu Yong smiled and said: "Father, don't worry, the child has his own thoughts."
Xie Yi and Huan Jie are both Jiangdong noble families. Although they are not as big as the Gu and Lu families, they can still be regarded as prominent families. However, compared to the Gu Lu family who were reused by Qin Tian, the Xie and Huan families are not.
It was so easy. Although Qin Tianyi was with the Gu and Lu families at that time and did not deliberately make things difficult for "small families" like Xie and Huan, the economic warfare launched by Luo Yun at that time was mainly aimed at the foundation of the family, so besides Gu
In addition to the Lu family, families of all sizes in Jiangdong were also affected.
But in the end, the Gu and Lu families chose to compromise with Qingtian City. Not only were they not harmed, but they were a blessing in disguise. With the help of Qingtian City, they recovered their strength and became a big family standing side by side with the Zhen family in Jiangdong. However, middlemen like Xie and Huan
Although the pain suffered by the small family was replenished to a certain extent in the later period, the family's lifeline was completely in Qin Tian's hands.
The most unpredictable thing in the world is the human heart. As for the Gu and Lu families, Qin Tian was determined to subdue them. He used force, inducement, and affection. He could do anything at that time to conquer them.
In the end, he finally got what he wanted and gained the allegiance of the two major families or the allegiance of Gu Yong and Lu Xun, two outstanding talents in future military and political fields.
But for 'small families' like Xie and Huan, they are obviously not that concerned. After all, people's energy is limited, and Qin Tian doesn't think there is any value in deliberately making friends with such 'little people'. Of course, in order to show equal treatment,
In fact, Qin Tian is not harsh on these 'small families'. With the development and growth of Qingtian City, these small families have also gained a lot of benefits.
It's just that these benefits are a bit insignificant compared to the two big families of Gu and Lu. No matter which world, there will always be some dissatisfied people, and differential treatment will always easily cause dissatisfaction among some people.
However, Qin Tian can ignore Xie Yi and Huan Jie, but Gu Yong cannot. Although these two families are not outstanding in Qin Tian's eyes, they are big families that have been based in Jiangdong for hundreds of years, even during the period of the four major families in Jiangdong.
, Xie Huan’s family lived together, and no one dared to neglect him.
Although Gu Hao didn't quite understand Gu Yong's approach, he believed that his wise son would not be on the wrong team in this situation. Since he said he wanted to meet, it makes sense...
When they walked into the living room accompanied by Gu Yong, Xie Yi and Huan Jie were already a little impatient with the wait. When they saw Gu Hao coming out, they quickly stood up and said with cupped hands: "Brother Ziyuan, I'm here late at night. Thank you so much."
We apologize for any inconvenience caused!"
Although in terms of status, Gu Yong, as the county magistrate of Qingtian City, is in charge of the people's livelihood and economy under the rule of Qingtian City, so the two of them should be polite. However, these two people are friends with Gu Hao's peers, and due to some psychological factors, they are selective.
He has forgotten Gu Yong's identity.
Gu Hao smiled slightly: "You two adults, you don't have to be polite. I came here late at night. What advice do you have?" When it comes to how to treat others, Gu Hao, as the head of the Gu family, even though he is reluctant in his heart, his face is so kind and makes people feel like a spring breeze. About this
Point, even the famous Prime Minister Gu Yong is ashamed of himself.
Xie Yi and Huan Jie looked at each other. Xie Yi took a step forward and said bluntly: "Brother Ziyuan, may I ask who owns the world today?"
These words caught Gu Hao off guard. He didn't expect the two of them to be so direct. This was a bit difficult to answer. If it were anywhere else, it would naturally be said to be the current Holy Emperor, but in Qingtian City, it is a different matter. Today, under the world,
It's hard to find another person who dares to wander around the world with the label of a traitor and a traitor and still lives a good life.
If it is the world of Qingtian City, these two people come with bad intentions, Huan Jie has even secretly grasped the sword at his waist, but if it is the one from Chang'an, it is a bit subtle...
Gu Hao frowned, looked at Xie Yi and said, "Master Xie, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly, don't beat around the bush like this."
Xie Yi nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I might as well say it bluntly. Qingtian is a traitor. He has committed rebellion and supported his own troops. Now he is trapped in the north of the Yangtze River. His life is at stake. Everyone in the east of the Yangtze River is panic-stricken. The people of the east of the Yangtze River are eager to wait for the Ming Dynasty.
Show up to bring order to the chaos.”
Xie Yi's words were righteous and awe-inspiring, but Gu Yong, who was standing behind Gu Hao, almost didn't laugh. Among other things, no one knows better than Gu Yong, who is in charge of the entire Jiangdong economy and people's livelihood, that the people of Jiangdong are more important than Qin Tian
Despite all the hard work, Xie Yi's words seemed a bit unreasonable.
However, Xie Yi did not pay attention to Gu Yong's expression. He calmed down and continued: "Now the fate of the traitor Qingtian is uncertain, and his subordinates are leaderless. God has given us the opportunity to welcome the Ming Lord."
"Oh? I wonder who the Ming Master Uncle Xie mentioned is?" Gu Yong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked.
"Haha, Sun Jian of Jingnan is the Marquis of Wuhuan who was personally granted by the late emperor. He was supposed to be the lord of Jiangdong. However, Qingtian rebelled and occupied the magpie nest. After discussion, we decided to welcome Marquis Wuhuan back to Jiangdong!"
