Chapter 247: A hundred people break three thousand

Xiling City, inside Jiang Wan's yamen.

Jiang Wan sat in the hall with a serious expression, with Gongcao Jiao Xiang and some minor officials below him.

Liu Feng drew almost all the defenders to the front line. It was also because Changsha is in control, there are no enemies in the south, Xiakou is in the hands of Ganning, and there are no enemies in the west. Huang Zhong is in the east, and Liu Feng is in the north.

It can be said that heavy troops were stationed on all sides. So Liu Feng drew all the defenders to the north. In order not to defeat Cao Ren or something, Liu Feng just wanted to camp in Liucheng with the largest soldiers and wait for the Fire Niu Formation to defeat Cao Ren.

The entire army attacked and plundered the population.

But this does not mean that Liu Feng did not deploy defensive forces in Xiling City.

When leaving the city, Liu Feng once held Jiang Wan's hand and said with a smile: "I don't worry, Gongyan defends the city."

Thinking of the way Liu Feng held his hand when he left the city, Jiang Wan felt a sense of passion. There were almost no defenders in Xiling City now, but Liu Feng still believed that when something happened, Jiang Wan alone could solve all the troubles.

What a trust this is.

Liu Feng did not say anything explicitly, but Jiang Wan, who had been taking Jiang Xia from Yiji for three months, knew very well.

Liu Feng has been in power for several months since he killed Huang Zu and ruled Jiangxia. From Yiji, he killed corrupt officials and won the hearts of the people. Until Liu Feng defeated Zhou Yu and avenged the people of Jiangxia, and was hated by Jiangdong for years.

Liu Feng's prestige in Jiangxia is very high, very high, which is unimaginable to ordinary people.

However, Liu Feng still had some troubles in ruling Jiangxia. The trouble in the dark was the local tyrants and powerful forces in Jiangxia.

When Liu Feng first entered Jiangxia, he did not take action against these forces in order to stabilize people's hearts. When Liu Feng had the ability and his prestige increased, these local forces in Jiangxia all shrank again.

The powerful men did not emerge. Liu Feng could not find an opportunity to deal with these forces and eliminate hidden dangers.

In addition to the strong local forces and the unpredictable whether they are loyal or not, Liu Feng also coveted the number of tenants owned by these forces.

Changsha County, Luo County. The Kou family alone has thousands of tenants. The great tyrants in Jiangxia County, each of the tenants owned by the powerful are extremely huge.

These tenants do not have to pay taxes to the prefect of Jiangxia. They are invisible people and are only responsible to their own masters.

Therefore, although Jiangxia has a population of only 100,000, the real population may exceed 150,000. However, these populations are not recorded. They are invisible populations.

If those powerful people can be eliminated in one fell swoop, they can increase tens of thousands of people who can pay taxes in one go. Liu Feng's covetousness for these populations is extremely huge.

Therefore, Liu Feng drew almost all the defenders in Xiling City.

In other words, it is to make those powerful men ready to move. The specific executor is Jiang Wan.

What Cao Ren said was a joke that Liu Feng did not understand the administration of the government. Liu Feng was able to lead a large army to fight against Cao Ren, and he had the courage to use this wind to suppress the powerful Jiangxia tyrants and continue to consolidate his power.

It can be seen that Liu Feng is a man with courage, determination, and can lift a butcher's knife.

"Mr. The spy sent back the news. The tribe leader of the three surnames of Jiangxia, Chen, Feng and Meng, brought a thousand slaves to the east of the city." Suddenly, a soldier hurried into the yamen to report the report.

Jiang Wan could guess Liu Feng’s thoughts, but the rest could not. When the officials present heard the news, they immediately changed their sarcasm and said in dismay: “What?”

Even Jiao Xiang, who has always been calm, was shocked.

There may be less than a hundred soldiers in the city, but there may be three thousand soldiers on the other side.

"I don't know if it was Cao Ren's work, or if these three surnames wanted to conquer Xiling and seek credit from Cao***." Jiang Wan smiled in her heart, very calm.

"Mr. Jiao." He calmed down, Jiang Wan looked up at Jiao Xiang and said.

"What are the instructions of sir?" Although Jiao Xiang was shocked, he was the most calm among the officials present. He quickly said after hearing this.

"Go to meet your wife and ask your wife to order to draw fifty guards from the prefect's mansion to gather in the east of the city." Jiang Wan ordered calmly.

"No." Although Jiao Xiang didn't know what Jiang Wan was going to do, he quickly responded to the promise. He immediately turned around and left the hall to go to the prefect's office to execute Jiang Wan's orders.

"You can also draw the guards and guards from all the yamen in the city, the general's mansion, gather in the east of the city." After Jiao Xiang left, Jiang Wan glanced at the officials present and said in an unquestionable tone.

"No." Jiang Wan was a person who was born to be able to hold back the scene. He was calm and his majesty quickly calmed down at this moment. He responded in one by one, and went out to execute Jiang Wan's orders.

If the lord trusts his subordinates, he will relieve his worries.

"Don't worry, lord, when you return to the army, the three surnames have died and the population has increased by tens of thousands." After all the people left, Jiang Wan stood up slowly, and bent down towards the north, clasped his fists and said.

After bowing, Jiang Wan got up and walked out.

He went to the east of the city or some other place. He was the treasury.

Just as Jiang Wan was stepping up preparations, three thousand slaves from three sides from the east of the city were also gathered together.

These domestic slaves didn't even have uniform clothes, but some people were holding spears, and some people were holding strong bows.

The momentum is not very good, but the gathering of three thousand people is enough to make people despair.

At present, the guards in Xiling City are less than 100. How can we not despair under the fierce attack of three thousand people?

At the front of the three thousand slaves, standing, whether they are dressed or temperamental, a man who is either rich or noble.

One of them is about forty years old, a little thin, but his eyes are shining with cold light. This is Chen Zhi, the chief of the Chen clan among the three surnames of Jiangxia.

The other one is a man about thirty years old, with an extraordinary face and an innate arrogance on his face. This is the leader of the Feng clan and Fengfa among the three surnames.

The last one is naturally the leader of the Meng clan, Meng Lue. He is also about thirty years old and looks very strong.

"This city has been managed by Huang Zu for more than ten years, and now it has been reinforced and managed by Liu Feng without any effort. It is a pity to burn it with a fire." Feng Fa, who was born arrogant, looked at the city ahead with a greedy look in his eyes.

"The west is Gan Ning, and the east is Huang Zhong. Gan Ning can reach Xiling in a few hours, and Huang Zhong can also reach Xiling in a day or two. Don't think about taking this city for yourself, but you should seize this city according to General Cao's wishes and burn it with a fire." Chen Zhi disagreed with Feng Fa's greed.

According to Cao Ren's intention, they just led their slaves to attack Xiling and burned them down with fire. The army's morale would be shaken, and they would not have to hold on with Gan Ning or Huang Zhong.

This is also the reason why the three of them agreed to send troops. As long as they put in a little effort, they can repay Cao Gong's thighs. Who wouldn't be a fool?

"I also think this should be done. Gan Ning and Huang Zhong are not easy to mess with." Meng Lue seemed strong, but in fact he was the most cautious. He nodded after hearing this.

The two of them reminded Feng Fa of the famous Gan Ning and Huang Zhong of Jiangxia. Feng Fa also slightly restrained the greed in his heart.

"Okay, the time is almost over. Siege the city according to the plan. Otherwise, it's time to wait for Gan Ning." After the three of them continued to talk for a while, Chen Zhi looked at the sky and calculated the distance between Xiakou where Gan Ning was and Xiling, and said in a deep voice.

"Okay, attack the city according to the plan." Meng Lue and Feng Fa had no objection, and nodded in one after another.

"The bandit Liu Feng has delicious beef. He eats ten heads a day and one thousand heads a day in March."

"The bandit Liu Feng has delicious beef. He eats ten heads a day and one thousand heads a day in March."

Under the command of the three people, three thousand slaves shouted and slowly headed towards Xiling City.

Three thousand people shouted together, and the entire Xiling City could be clearly heard. Countless people were dissatisfied with the fear of Liu Feng summoning oxen, which was known to Jiangxia.

The banner he raised was to be recruited for military farming. But unexpectedly, he actually ate it. This was simply horrifying.

"Hmph, it's indeed a trick of eagle set by Cao Ren." Jiang Wan was wearing a martial arts uniform and a sword hanging on her waist. Listening to the sound of the sky, Jiang Wan snorted coldly.

The design of Man Chong was directed by Jiang Wan. Jiang Wan knew the inside story best. It was just to deceive Man Chong, and the rest of the people who were familiar with it were under house arrest.

No one will spread the news, and the only one who can spread such news is Cao Ren.

At this moment, in addition to Jiang Wan, there were about a hundred soldiers in the east gate of the city, fifty of whom were guards of the prefect’s palace, each with strong figures and powerful Kong Wu.

Among the other people, ten were Huang Zhong's retainers. The last forty were guards from various yamen.

Except for the guards of the prefect's palace and Huang Zhong's retainers, the other people's expressions changed slightly when they heard the shouts outside the city.

Obviously, the shouting outside the city gate still had some effect. But Jiang Wan didn't care.

Jiang Wan turned around and looked at her side. Jiao Xiang stood beside him. In addition, there were about a hundred civilians and boxes piled up on the ground.

"Yes." Jiang Wan winked at Jiao Xiang, and Jiao Xiang understood and immediately ordered the civilians to open the box.

When the boxes were opened one by one, the expressions of the hundred people in front of Jiang Wan changed. Even if they were so many choices, the guards of Liu Feng's prefect's mansion were a little dazed.

Because, the boxes are filled with gold and yellow gold.

"You are an army, and outside the city gate, there are just a group of domestic slaves. It is easy to defeat them." Looking at the hundred soldiers whose expressions had changed to a greater or lesser extent, Jiang Wan smiled and said loudly.

Regarding Jiang Wan's words, the soldiers felt a little natural in their hearts. The sense of superiority of the regular army rose in their hearts.

"I don't want to say more if my lord eats beef. I will tell you now that there are three thousand golds here. As long as you can defeat the group of slaves outside the city, you can take away as much gold as you can." Seeing that the atmosphere was getting warmer, Jiang Wan couldn't help but give a loud reward.

When Jiang Wan said this, all the soldiers began to shine with their eyes. But Jiang Wan still felt that it was not enough.

"Most of you are from Jiangxia, and you should know how rich the three surnames of Jiangxia are. They have tens of thousands of tenants and countless fertile land, gold, silver, and money. If you can defeat them, I will allow each of you to obtain 200 acres of land and ten tenants. Similarly, you can grab as much as your gold, silver and treasures as you can." Jiang Wan shouted loudly and put his trump card.

The three surnames of Jiangxia are all powerful people who have been passed down for a long time. Almost all the people of Jiangxia are well aware of these three surnames and have an amazing understanding of their wealth.

Jiang Wan not only gave out the gold himself, but also allowed them to rob the property of the three surnames. After the victory, no one distributed 200 acres of land and ten ten tenants.

It is equivalent to transforming them into a powerful man who is both rich and wealthy, and has land and a family slave.

The soldiers' eyes became very sharp one by one. There was a passion for sacrifice and blood to compete for wealth.

It can be said that Jiang Wan's words and these methods twisted the group of soldiers who were pieced together into a rope, forming a momentum that could be comparable to elites.

Although it is only short-term, it is enough to think about dealing with three thousand slaves and destroying Cao Ren's tricks.

"Open the city gate." Jiang Wan smiled confidently in her heart, and looked serious on her face. She pulled out the long sword from her waist, raised her head and yelled.

With a loud "boom", the suspension bridge of the city was lowered and the door opened.

The loud noise made Chen Zhi, Feng Fa, and Meng Lueqi, who were commanding the slaves outside the city to slowly pass by, and then he was overjoyed.

Because they thought that a few defenders in the city had surrendered under their strength.

The three of them looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes. It's really good to be able to be without bloodshed.
