In contrast, the soldiers brought by Li Xingchen had bright clothes and armor, and they were all tall horses captured from Xiangyang. They looked so powerful that many heads of aristocratic families showed envy when they saw it. If everyone under his command
With soldiers and horses like this, Anding City has already been invaded.
"The general is from Tianshui. I think the general should already know about the situation in Tianshui." Niu An's voice was very low. Obviously, for this old man who was already over 60 years old but still insisted on leading the whole family forward, it was difficult to speak.
There are already some difficulties, "The situation here in Anding is no better than that in Tianshui. When the general captured Hanzhong without bloodshed, Yang Jian had already replaced Anding's prefect and generals with his own people, so when we started to resist, Anding City was long gone."
In our hands."
Li Xingchen nodded slightly, which was reasonable. Niu Hong surrendered to Li Xingchen. No matter whether there was the shadow of the An Ding Niu family behind him or not, Yang Jian could not ignore it. The county guard on the Tianshui side was not replaced. I am afraid it was because Wang
Kun had been in the local area for a long time, and Yang Jian was afraid of alerting others. Secondly, at that time, several aristocratic families in Tianshui had not yet clearly expressed their intention to rebel. If Yang Jian showed distrust first, it would not necessarily be a good thing.
"If there are enough soldiers, horses and siege equipment, our Niu family will not just watch the Anding City stand there." Niu An said solemnly. For the Anding Niu family, Niu Hong surrendered to Li Xingchen, that would be
It is a serious crime of genocide, so the Niu family has long been unable to escape. What's more, now that Niu Hong is a general under Xiao Shilian, and coupled with the relationship between him and Yang Su, even if the Niu family's wealth has been ruined, the same
There is a chance of success, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
However, with the current strength of the Niu family, it is obviously still problematic to directly attack the well-prepared Anding City. Wanting to capture Anding does not mean that you can endure unnecessary sacrifices. As the head of the family, Niu An naturally
It is impossible to joke with the lives of family members.
Li Xingchen immediately said in a deep voice: "I have received news on the way that Yu Yi has ordered his troops to go out, and the army is heading towards Anding, so we don't need to think about attacking the city for a while, as long as we can defeat this enemy group."
If the army strangles them, then the people in Anding City will naturally know where they should go."
When Li Xingchen said this, the other heads of the aristocratic families immediately gathered together to chat in a low voice, and Niu An couldn't help but ask: "General, as far as we know, Yu Yi's troops should be between six thousand and eight thousand."
, even if two or three thousand are left to defend the city, the number should be around five thousand. With our current strength, can we really compete with Yu Yi?"
Li Xingchen laughed: "I'm really not sure whether I can compete with you. I wonder if the old family leader can send someone to take you to see the teams of each family. After all, I am also a newbie here. I need to understand the situation in this stable place.
Judge."
"Of course!" Niu An nodded slightly, then turned to the family heads who looked surprised and uncertain, "Why, do you think it's inappropriate?"
The old man's voice suddenly became loud, and several family heads stood up in a hurry, holding their hands together: "Don't dare! You should follow the old family master's arrangements."
But Niu An shook his head and turned to Li Xingchen and solemnly handed over his hand: "Here, you should follow the general's arrangements!"
"Obey the general's orders!"
Li Xingchen was startled for a moment, and found that he seemed to have underestimated Niu An. But thinking about it, after being able to travel across the northwest for so many years, Niu An was considered a hero who could afford to take up and put down.
At this time, Niu An obviously saw clearly who could really control the entire battlefield. The local snake would eventually surrender to the dragon who could stir up the storm at will.
————————————-
Ma Shun didn't expect that this guy Wang Kun would actually wake up.
There are many people with the surname Ma in the northwest, the most famous of which is definitely the Fufeng Ma family, or more accurately the Maoling Ma family, Ma Teng during the Three Kingdoms period, and the Ma Chao family are the direct descendants of the Maoling Ma family. The Fufeng Ma family developed in the northwest
After so many years, of course it is not limited to Fufeng. Ma Suan also has the blood of Fufeng Ma family, but it can only be regarded as a side branch.
The Fufeng Ma family has declined, so the name of this family will not bring much glory to Ma Suan. Instead, it will only make him full of disgust for the families around him who can still rely on the gifts of their ancestors. This is why Ma Suan
He would stand so resolutely on Yang Jian's side. Rather than colluding with these aristocratic families, he admired people like Yang Jian who came from a poor family but relied on their own hard work to rise through the ranks.
As for Yin Qian, who was with Ma Suan, he was originally appointed by Yang Jian, so loyalty is not to mention. If he had any disloyal intentions, Yang Jian would prevent his family from seeing the sun tomorrow.
Before the chaos broke out in the northwest, Ma Suan and Yin Qian worked together to put Wang Kun, who had secretly made a deal with the Tianshui Liang Family, under house arrest. Finally, before the Tianshui Liang Family gathered troops to enter the city, they captured Wang Kun and stabilized Tianshui.
The situation in Shuicheng.
However, they knew very well that doing so meant that they would have to take a lot of risks, especially Li Xingchen. This young man who went from being a commoner to a general who conquered the north, and forcibly changed his title from a virtual title to a real title,
But it's definitely not that easy to deal with. At least Ma Suan and Yin Qian didn't expect to defeat Li Xingchen.
However, they believe that as long as they can guard the city impregnably, then Li Xingchen will naturally not be able to find an opportunity to take advantage of it. As time goes by, Li Xingchen will inevitably be unable to hold on. After all, Yu Yi of Xiaoguan has already begun to gather troops.
Li Xingchen and those damn aristocratic families who are causing trouble here will definitely not sit idly by.
However, these naturally take time. Now is undoubtedly the time when the entire Tianshui City defense is at its weakest and when they need to be more vigilant. Fortunately, Wang Kun, who seemed to be uncooperative at first, finally understands that everyone is a grasshopper on the same line.
He took the initiative to lead the entire city's Baixin labor force.
In normal times, Ma Suan might not be interested in such formality at all, but it is different now. The morale of the army is almost declining at a speed visible to the naked eye. If Ma Suan and Yin Qian remain indifferent, then sooner or later something will happen.
One day, they will be tied up tightly by his own men and sent to Li Xinchen's army.
After all, not everyone has the same fighting spirit as the two of them, and not everyone really wants to devote themselves to the Great Zhou Dynasty and to protect Tianshui City. Even outsiders Ma Suan and Yin Qian don't know this.
How many people from aristocratic families are there in the army? I am afraid that the rapid decline in morale has a lot to do with them secretly fanning the flames. (To be continued)
