Chapter 29: Worth and Not Worth(1/3)

Chapter 219: Value or not

Inside the east gate of Pingyang, flames churned.

Various materials temporarily piled up in the city were swallowed by the fire. The fire that soared into the sky made the sky red. The air was filled with a strong smell of burnt smell, mixed with the smell of blood, and over the city gate, making people feel a feeling of suffocation.

An eight-foot man, holding a black spear that was six feet long and thick, and was rushing around the crowd.

He was covered with a black rhinoceros armor, with a vertebral hair. His black and shiny face showed a strange purple aura in the fire. His cheeks were short and beards were like steel needles, his eyes wide open, and he shouted loudly. The spear flew, like a dragon going out to sea. The sound of the wind was hanging, bringing lights. The cold light flew, and the flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the afterimage flew out, taking away fresh and lively lives.

"Juye Peng Yue is here, whoever blocks me... dies!"

With a roar of thunder, the black spear stabbed out like lightning, and flew out a soldier who was blocking the Han Dynasty.

Peng Yue shouted loudly, his face full of ferociousness, which made him even more horrifying and murderous in the fire.

Behind him, seventy or eighty young and strong men held bright sharp blades in their hands, like tigers entering a flock of sheep. Although the soldiers guarding the east gate were determined to stop them, Peng Yue and others appeared suddenly, and the fire was raging, which made everyone panic. Hundreds of people were forced to retreat continuously by the seventy or eighty people. In a blink of an eye, the great man was already rushed to the city tower, and the two sides fought each other in a melee, which was so tragic.

At the same time, there were thirty or forty young and strong men, led by a Hu man with deep eye sockets and protruding cheekbones, and rushed towards the city gate. The entire east gate shouted and killed the sky. Only shrill wails echoed in the air with the collision of weapons.

The Qin army outside the city also attacked Pingyang at the moment the fire appeared.

There were originally seven or eight hundred people stationed outside the East Gate, which theoretically was enough to take into account the entire city gate. However, at this time, it seemed to be stretched. On the one hand, it was entangled by Peng Yue and others, and on the other hand, it wanted to stop the Qin army's attack. As a result, the entire East Gate was in chaos.

When Li Zuoche brought his men to come, the situation at the East Gate was already uncontrollable.

"I will wait for the death of heaven, and I will wait for the death of heaven!"

Li Zuoche was above the light chariot and couldn't help but sigh to the sky. The situation has reached this point, and if the East Gate cannot be controlled again, the breaking of Pingyang City is irreversible. But now, internal and external affairs are forced, and Pingyang soldiers are being rushed to pieces by the other party. How easy is it to control the East Gate? Mobilize people from the West Gate? But the problem is that there is still an old man outside the West Gate.

Turning his head and looking at the more than a hundred confidants following behind him, Li Zuoche gritted his teeth and pulled out his sword.

Now, there is only one way to fight to the death!

"Brothers, follow me to destroy Qin Gou and take back the East Gate!"

"Kill Qin Gouzi, kill Qin Gouzi!"

The soldiers raised their weapons and shouted loudly.

At the moment of launching the attack, Li Zuoche had already jumped out of the light chariot and said to the old housekeeper in the car: "Butler, go and inform Mr. Yan quickly. Please ask him to gather private soldiers from the city to come and reinforce... Also, pay attention to the Qin army outside the West City, and Fuping Laozi is still eyeing him.

I led people to stabilize the situation. There would not be too many Qin dogs who were mixed into the city. As long as they were eliminated, it would be difficult for the Qin army outside the city to achieve great things."

The old butler's face turned pale and he didn't care about being polite.

He nodded, "Please ask Shaojun for everything..."

After saying that, he drove around and ran towards Tiandu Mansion.

Li Zuoche took a strong breath and smiled bitterly in his heart: Maybe, I, Li Zuoche, will die in this Pingyang City tonight...

On the top of the city, Peng Yue's face looked ferocious.

The spear fiercely penetrated an officer, but the words of Liu Kan echoed in his mind a few days ago.

In recent years, Peng Yue has lived a very good life.

Although he did not have the chance to meet Liu Kan, under the suggestion of Shen Yiqi, Peng Yue took the water bandits under his command ashore and formed a escort team to live a normal life. From the beginning, he was only responsible for the escort tasks from Pei County to Xue County. Later, the number of members of the escort team increased, with nearly a thousand people, and the scope of escorts became larger and bigger, and the business became more and more prosperous.

With Shen Shizhi's special care, especially after the Sishui Huadiao moved to Shuzhong, Peng Yue's business was not only not affected, but became more and more prosperous. The goods transported from Shuzhong will be transferred in Zhu County. Peng Yue's guard team covers several counties south of the river, and now in Qiuli, he is also a well-known figure. To be honest, Peng Yue is very satisfied with his current life.

However, Liu Kan suddenly appeared in Chuli a few days ago.

"If it is now settled below, everything is waiting for development... but there are those unwilling people who are causing trouble and causing trouble to make the world uneasy. Although the Qin law is strict, the court does not care about family status or background in terms of employment. Compared with the six destruction countries, we, the head of Guizhou, have a better chance of making a breakthrough. Old Qin only talks about military merits. If the world is stable in the future, it will be even more difficult to earn military merits.

I have a wealth and honor, but I wonder if you are interested in Brother Peng? If you are willing, you may not be able to become a general or a prime minister, but the military merits of several titles will definitely not be a problem. During my lifetime, my aunt always hoped that Brother Peng could make a name for herself. Now the opportunity is here, it only depends on whether Brother Peng has the courage?"

Qianshou is a title that the old Qin people call the people of Guandong.

Qian means black. Therefore, Qian is synonymous with ordinary people.

Peng Yue does not have to worry about food and drink now, and is also well-known in the Juyeze area. However, this person's desire is endless. With money, he hopes to have status; with status, he wants to go further. However, for an ordinary person, although Peng Yue is rich, he does not have the opportunity to gain higher status and power. Liu Kan's words made Peng Yue excited.

The spear picked up a soldier and Peng Yue said intimately: Another military merit!

In front of me is the winch of the thousand-jin gate. As long as the thousand-jin gate is raised, the forest under the city can open the city gate, and this matter will be completed.

Thinking of this, Peng Yue felt even more energetic.

With a loud roar, his feet were as fast as flying, his spear flew and danced, and his killing method became even more fierce.

Li Zuoche had stabilized the situation under the city at this time. Lin Su and others were trapped in the city gate and were in danger.

It is only necessary to kill Qin Gouzi under the city, and then free up his hands to deal with Qin Gouzi in the city. In this way, the situation in the East Gate is enough to stabilize. However, these Qin Gouzi are also brave. Although there are many people on their side, they can't do anything to the other side for a while.

I hope that after Tian Du received the news, he will bring people to support him soon...

Li Zuoche thought to himself, but his hands were not slow. A spear flashed across, and his feet moved in a staggered manner, his hands raised his sword and cut a man to the ground.

Although Li Zuoche was born as a scholar, he was extremely flexible and had excellent swordsmanship.

After all, he was a descendant of Wu'anjun. Although he was not as brave as his grandfather, he had indeed put in some arduous efforts. Most of the scholars of this era were both civil and military, and they were not as powerful as those of later scholars. After Li Zuoche cut over one person, he was about to organize his subordinates to carry out the final attack. At this time, there was only a creaking sound. The iron fence behind the city gate slowly rose up.

not good!

Once this thousand-pound gate is up, the city gate will be difficult to protect.

Before Li Zuoche ordered an attack, Lin Su in the city gate had already rushed to the city gate. He picked up the cross-bone on the city gate in his hand and shouted loudly: "My boys, stop the rebels. Wait until I open the city gate and welcome my imperial army into the city."

"Stop him, stop him..."

Li Zuoche was furious and raised his hand to pick up a longbow.

Bending the bow and aiming at Lin Su is an arrow. Lin Su's attention is all focused on the door bolt. He doesn't want the arrow to fly in, so he is in the back.

He couldn't help but groaned, Lin Suhu opened his eyes wide and used both hands to pull up the door bolt.

The city gate is open!

The shouts of killing that resounded through the heaven and earth echoed in the sky.

Li Zuoche couldn't help but say inwardly: It's over...

Once the city gate opened, the situation could no longer be restored. The only way to do this is to fight a bloody road, escape from Pingyang Hou, and make plans.

"Hold on, hold on to me!"

The Pingyang soldiers and horses in the city seemed to have lost their souls when the city gate opened, and could no longer organize an effective counterattack.

Fortunately, the city gate was not big, and after the Qin army poured in, it was difficult to deploy for a while, and they were entangled with Pingyang soldiers.

Dozens of confidants protected Li Zuoche and retreated repeatedly. But Pingyang City was already in chaos, where should we go? Li Zuoche retreated while fighting, but he muttered in his heart: What's going on with Duke Yan? Why hasn't it appeared yet? Could it be that he is in trouble?

Sometimes, intuition is indeed terrible.

Li Zuoche’s premonition was correct. Tian Du was indeed in trouble at this time, and it was a big trouble that Li Zuoche could hardly guess!

Tian Mansion was attacked...

Speaking of which, Tian Du was not a careless person. On the contrary, most of the time, Tian Du was very cautious. Since King Jian of Qi asked to surrender and Qi was destroyed, Tian Du carefully managed the three-point land of Pingyang. Even people like Wang Ben and Meng Tian, ​​who were in charge of the battle situation in Qi at that time, did not realize Tian Du's mind. Such a person would certainly attach great importance to his own safety. The Tian Mansion is very large, with more than a hundred diners and countless servants. Ordinary people would never dare to run away to cause trouble easily.

However, when the Qin army was at the city, Tian had to draw some of his men from the mansion to cooperate with Pingyang soldiers to guard the city.

But even so, there were still more than a hundred servants left in the Tian Mansion.

Most of them were the elite Qi army soldiers who were gathered by Tiandu when the Qin army swept across the land of Qilu.

These more than a hundred people are Tiandu’s personal guards. After experiencing the baptism of the battle formation, their combat effectiveness is even more powerful than that of the garrison soldiers in Pingyang County.

Now that the entire Pingyangdu is under the control of Tiandu, who dares to come and twist the tiger's beard lightly?

Therefore, Tian Du was very at ease with the safety of Tian’s mansion. He summoned the great men in the city to discuss matters in the mansion. At the same time, he also suggested that these great men could take into account the overall situation, contribute the private soldiers in the mansion, and participate in the war to defend Pingyang together.

After Emperor First Emperor moved 100,000 rich families in Shandong to Xianyang, the so-called wealthy families in various places were only considered small families in the past.

As the saying goes, there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys dominate the king. When those real wealthy families no longer exist, the small families of the past will follow the trend and become a new generation of wealthy families. Compared with those real wealthy families, there is a big gap in all aspects. But one thing is the same. These people's mansions also hold families and private soldiers, mainly to protect the safety of the family.

However, there are not many private soldiers from each family.

After all, if the Qin Dynasty ruled the country with law, if the private power was too strong, it would inevitably become an unstable factor.

And these new-born tyrants dare not be too arrogant. Being more powerful, people like Tiandu can gather three or four hundred people in the mansion; if the family is a little worse, there are only dozens of people. However, there are dozens of families in Pingyang City. If these private soldiers and disciples gather, there will be seven or eight hundred people. Not many people, but they play an important role in Pingyang.

Tian Du was in the court, and he was so agitated that he tried to persuade all households to hand over the private soldiers and he was in charge of his unified command.

People always have selfish intentions.

Although we know that Tian Du does this, it will be beneficial to everyone. However, it is always unreliable to hand over the power in our hands.

Tiandu is very angry!

Because of his descendants of the Qi royal family and the descendants of Mengchangjun, and discussing things with the people sitting in the court in a pleasant manner, was originally a loss of identity. Unexpectedly, these guys were not grateful... The matter had reached this point, and they were still hesitant. For the sake of their own poor family background, Tian Du was very unhappy.

But at this time, Tian still couldn't turn his back on him.

Pingyang must be guarded for at least seven days, and it also needs the strong help of these people.

Taking their private soldiers over is only the first step. Once the situation of the war is unfavorable, they still need to contribute more strength.

I really miss the past time!

When Daqi was still alive, why did he have to be vain with these people? Just one sentence, let alone a private soldier, even if he wanted all his property, he had to serve him with both hands. Now, these people have not only become their own guests, but also have to bargain.

Damn Old Qin...
