The young general faces the person on the right with his back to the other two, which gives the other two a chance.
Behind him, a loud shout suddenly came.
Hearing the sound, the young general immediately turned around and slashed the sword in his hand, trying to kill the two people behind him. However, the two people did not stand, but quickly squatted down and reached out to hug the young general's legs.
, shouted suddenly, picked up the young general, and threw him down the tower.
"ah!"
In the blink of an eye, there was a scream from below the tower. The young general's head hit the ground, causing blood to flow everywhere. The scarlet blood flowed out from his head and quickly turned into a pool of blood.
"Rebel, seeking death!"
The general who was guarding the city was dead, and there was still a captain in charge of guarding the city on the tower.
A school captain just yelled and was about to rush forward with a sword in his hand to kill. But as soon as he took a step, he felt a pain in his waist. Looking back, he saw another man from a wealthy family in the city with a ferocious look on his face, stabbing the school captain in the chest with his sword.
On his waist, he killed the captain. He smiled ferociously, looked around, and wanted to kill the Yizhou army who wanted to resist.
On the city tower, many Yizhou generals who wanted to resist were killed by wealthy gentry.
It didn't take long for the situation on the city tower to be controlled by the wealthy gentry.
The soldiers stationed on the city tower saw something was wrong and immediately gave up resistance. In addition, the silk silk said that Yan Yan had led his troops towards Nanzheng, Baocheng became an isolated city, and it would be useless to continue to stay.
Baocheng immediately changed hands.
It can be said that Yan Yan's biggest failure was to let the wealthy gentry help defend the city.
If the generals were to guard the city, Bao City would definitely last longer.
Yan Yan's biggest failure was to arrest all the young and old from the rich families in the city, because the descendants of these rich families represent the inheritance of incense and must not be desecrated or violated. Yan Yan had already formed a knot by threatening the lives of the rich families in the city, young and old.
If you mess with Liangzi, it will explode sooner or later.
"Kaicheng, surrender."
The man from the wealthy family who had previously held the young general shouted loudly, and the private soldiers of the wealthy gentry on the city tower immediately rushed down to the city tower and opened the city gate. Wang Can looked at the young general who fell from the city tower, with a sneer on his face, and said sternly
Yan left this man in Baocheng to stall for time, but he didn't expect that he had already captured Baocheng in less than an hour.
"Enter the city!"
Wang Can gave the order and prepared to enter the city.
But Zhou Cang said: "My lord, I am afraid that there is a scam in the city. Please wait for a moment. After Cang leads his soldiers into the city to inquire about the situation, it will not be too late for my lord to enter the city again."
Wang Can nodded and did not refute Zhou Cang's words. Zhou Cang got the order and ordered Pei Yuanshao to lead the army to protect Wang Can, and then led a part of the soldiers into the city. After Zhou Cang contacted the big families in the city and confirmed that there was no danger in the city, he let people
Go and report to Wang Can and let him enter the city.
Wang Can led a small number of soldiers into the city, but the army was still stationed outside the city.
The wealthy gentry in the city all looked respectful and greeted Wang Can in the city.
After entering the city, Wang Can rode on a Wuzui horse and saluted the wealthy gentry in the city. He said loudly: "Wang Can came late and made everyone suffer. This is Can's fault. I would like to apologize to you and hope for your understanding."
When Wang Can did this, everyone said they didn't dare.
Wang Can glanced over the crowd, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Everyone was also looking at Wang Can, and they were secretly heartbroken when they saw Wang Can's sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and his majesty in his demeanor.
At the same time, seeing that Wang Can did not show an arrogant and domineering expression, his favorable impression of Wang Can also increased suddenly.
After Wang Can captured Baocheng, the Yizhou soldiers surrendered, and their families were guaranteed. After entering the city, Wang Can said to the wealthy gentry standing in the city: "Everyone, this time I can only enter Baocheng because of your help. Thank you very much."
Everyone. I have something important to discuss with you all, and I would like to ask you to go to the county government."
After finishing speaking, Wang Can galloped his horse and whipped his whip, saying: "I will go ahead and wait for you at the county government office." Following Wang Can, the rest of the generals and soldiers also quickly ran towards the county government office.
"Mr. Li, what should we do if Wang Can summons us to the county government to discuss matters?"
The speaker was in his thirties, with a Chinese character face and three short strands of beard under his chin. He looked at an old man in his seventies next to him and asked softly. This middle-aged man was the young man who had previously dragged the city guard away.
The man's name is Zeng Yi, and he is the chief of the Zeng clan in Baocheng. The old man, who is nearly seventy years old, is the leader of the wealthy gentry family in Baocheng. His name is Li Li, and he is the chief of the Li clan in Baocheng.
Li Li was leaning on a wooden stick and looked calm.
He had been standing on the city tower before, but he had been protected and did not participate in the battle. Li Li changed his voice and said, "Prefect Wang summoned us. Of course we have important matters to discuss, so of course we will go!"
After everyone heard this, they all said, "I am willing to listen to Mr. Li's arrangements!"
Compared with the wealthy families in Nanzheng, the wealthy gentry in Baocheng appear more united.
The Three Kingdoms were actually composed of aristocratic families. Every city and every place had a wealthy and powerful family. For example, in the Three Kingdoms of Wei, the Xun family of Yingchuan, the Chen family of Yingchuan, and other wealthy families were all important ministers under Cao Cao. Cao Cao selected poor people on a large scale
The son may not have had the intention of reducing the influence of the aristocratic families, but after Cao Pi came to the throne, he promoted the sons of the aristocratic families to officials, which made the aristocratic families prosperous. When Sima Yi conquered Wei, it was not necessarily the case that the aristocratic families were not there to add fuel to the fire.
The reason is that it was planted by Cao Cao.
Because Cao Cao wanted to weaken the influence of the big family, he opposed the big family.
On the other hand, where in Soochow, Jingzhou, and Shu are there no big families? However, Shu and Wu did not treat big families like Cao Cao did, but adopted a tolerant policy.
When Wang Can entered Baocheng, the first thing he thought of was naturally to summon the rich people of Baocheng to discuss matters.
Not for anything else, because they control the lifeblood of Baocheng. All the big families in Baocheng obeyed Li Li's arrangement, unified their approach, and walked towards the county hall.
County House, in the hall.
Wang Can sat on the main seat, with Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao standing on his left and right.
Guo Jia did not enter the city with the army, but waited outside the city. Lu Meng led a hundred wolf fangs to retrieve the crossbow arrows scattered on the city tower. The crossbow arrows of Ma Junnu were different from other bows and arrows. They were not easy to forge and must be used with care.
.Therefore, after every battle, Lü Meng would take back the crossbow arrows and continue to use them.
Not long after, Li Li led everyone to the hall.
Li Li first bowed to Wang Can and said, "Old Li Li, I would like to pay my respects to Governor Wang."
However, Li Li only bowed symbolically because he was nearly seventy years old and was an elder. In ancient China, the word "filial piety" was valued very highly, and at the same time, the "old man" was also respected very much.
People over 60 years old can be exempted from official duties, and people over 70 years old can already receive privileges granted by the court. This is all out of respect for the elderly.
The lifespan of ancient people is different from that of modern times. A lot of people are eighty or ninety years old. However, the ancients said that seventy years of life are rare in ancient times. By the age of seventy, it is already very rare and should be respected. It seems that eighty and ninety years old
The old man is a living fossil, an auspicious person.
Wang Can did not dare to neglect, and quickly waved his hand for Li Li to sit down.
After a pause, Wang Can said: "Mr. Li, the matter is urgent, so I won't waste time talking nonsense. Yan Yan led the troops to Nanzheng, but the road to Nanzheng has been blocked by this governor, making it impossible to move forward.
, will return soon. Therefore, I must lead the troops to fight against Yan Yan, and the important task of defending Baocheng will be left to Li Gong."
After finishing speaking, Wang Can bowed to Li Li again.
Li Li thought for a while and asked: "Prefect Wang led the troops to fight against the severe thieves. I wonder which of the adults should be left to guard the city?"
Wang Can shook his head and said: "Since Li Gong is responsible for guarding the city, I will leave no one to restrain Li Gong and let Li Gong command. However, I have no soldiers to help Li Gong. I hope Li Gong can organize the people of Baocheng to guard Bao.
city."
After hearing Wang Can's words, Li Li also looked moved and said loudly: "With the trust of the prefect Wang, Li will definitely do his best to protect Baocheng for the prefect Wang."
Wang Can nodded and said: "In that case, I would like to thank Mr. Li."
After finishing speaking, Wang Can raised his hands to everyone else and said, "The safety of this city depends entirely on your support."
"I will definitely live up to Prefect Wang's instructions!"
These people all followed Li Li's arrangements, and when they saw Li Li's agreement, they all agreed immediately. This is also the benefit of small cities, and the benefits of big cities. There are too many interests in big cities, and the big families have disputes with each other.
, it is difficult to unite together, but the small town only has the slightest benefit, and a strong big family appears, and the other families follow the arrangement, and there will not be too many disputes.
Wang Can nodded with satisfaction and immediately said: "The matter is urgent. Many matters in the city will be handled by Li Gong. I will take people to leave immediately to meet Yan Yan."
After finishing speaking, Wang Can left with Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao.
A group of people sent Wang Can out of the county house again and watched Wang Can and others leave.
Zeng Yi looked at Wang Can's back as he rode away and asked, "Mr. Li, how is this person, Prefect Wang?"
Li Li stroked his gray beard under his chin and said: "I have often heard that the Governor Wang is very heroic and has the qualities of a hero. When I see it today, it is really extraordinary and admirable. His magnanimity and magnanimity alone are heartbreaking. Among you,
, if anyone captures the city, who dares to entrust the great city of Bao to the old man?"
Everyone smiled awkwardly and said nothing.
These people also secretly admire Wang Can's courage.
However, Wang Can relied not only on courage, but also on sufficient reasons.
The rich people in Bao City pushed the guard of Bao City down from the tower. They had already sworn to be incompatible with Yan Yan and could not become Yan Yan's helpers. Therefore, Wang Can dared to hand over Bao City to Li Li for guarding. As for the so-called separatist rule of the rich people in Bao City
In Baocheng, Wang Can never thought that when the army arrived, these people would not dare to disobey orders.
After Wang Can left with Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, Pei Yuanshao said angrily: "My lord, Baocheng is very important. One person should be left to help Li Li garrison Baocheng. If something goes wrong in Baocheng, wouldn't it be a failure?"
Wang Can smiled and said: "Don't trust people when you employ them, and don't use people when you doubt them. Why bother asking for trouble?"
Pei Yuanshao shook his head, but he didn't think so.
How can a large city be guarded by people who don't know the truth? The three of them left Baocheng. After leaving Baocheng, Wang Can asked: "Has Amon returned when he took people to retrieve the crossbow?"
The soldier on the side replied: "The young general has returned to camp and is in the military formation."
Wang Can nodded and said: "Okay, set off immediately and prepare for a decisive battle with Yan Yan!" After saying that, Wang Can led the army to leave Baocheng quickly and ran towards the camp where the army was originally stationed.
The decisive battle is still at the same place!
