The sun and the moon are changing, and the stars are changing. When the sun once again replaces the moonlight and shines on this land, everything exudes vitality, and the sunshine in Wancheng represents a kind of glory. The breath of death. .
Liu Mang stood under the tower of Wancheng, "Whether you live or die depends on today!"
Sun Ce's army below made food and set up an array, and the army began to move, one by one, with rows of swords, guns and swords.
"Master Lu, let me go to the Zhao family this time! You see, we haven't really served General Sun Ce since we followed General Sun Ce this time. This time, we should also let my Zhao family charge forward and retreat behind. A middle-aged man The man in the robe followed behind Lu Su and said to Lu Su in a courteous manner.
"What made your Zhao family, our Li family have never served General Sun Ce, General Sun Ce commanded Jiangdong, and our Li family rarely lived a life of food and clothing under his rule. In order to repay General Sun Ce, our Li family this time Prepare to repay Jiangdong with your body, and you will never return it if you don’t destroy Wancheng!" The middle-aged man known as the Li family also stood in front of Lu Su with integrity.
"And me, and me! Our Xu family" all scrambled to gather in front of Lu Su, making Lu Su frown.
What are these things? These are all the gentry from Jiangdong. Look at each of them. They are fighting. You talk about you going out with the army. At least you wear a battle armor, and you don’t even wear a battle armor. Clothes, jewelry and gold chains are more gorgeous than the other, they are not here to fight, they are here to travel!
Let them attack the city yesterday, each of them looked like their dead parents, with such a bitter face, today they are all full of energy. As soon as Lu Su walked out of the big tent, he was surrounded.
Of course. These gentry are not stupid either! Yesterday, on the city wall, Lu Bu's defenders were all over the city wall. The armor and spirit on his body can tell that he is an elite at a glance, isn't he an idiot at this time! Look at the Zuo family, the Bian family, and the Wang family who were ranked yesterday, these three idiots, the last few of the 15,000 soldiers and horses, did not get anything, and suffered so many casualties. The leaders of these three families have agreed considered an idiot.
Today is different! In such a fierce battle yesterday, Sun Ce's army suffered so much losses. The enemy will lose less! The main force of Sun Ce's army, the Danyang soldiers, are all on the scene. These gentry know the combat power of Sun Ce's army. When the main force of Sun Ce's army was in Jiangdong, it could suppress the tens of thousands of small princes. Now they have lost half of them. If there is no army, then there will not be many enemies left on the city wall.
Now is the time to grab the credit. There are still a few enemies left. With such a large group of people like myself, if we swarm the whole city of Wan, more people will be able to come down and take the city of Wan. This is the seat of Lujiang, no matter how stingy Sun Ce is, he will be rewarded with great rewards. It doesn't take much, just reward a few thousand fertile fields in Wancheng. The entire Wancheng, the entire Lujiang River, and the gentry are almost dead. Except for the few limited families who followed Lu Bu, this place is now a big piece of cake.
Lujiang is a wealthy county, with a lot of fertile land and abundant products. For the sake of Lujiang, they can all relocate from other places in Jiangdong. This is an opportunity to strengthen their family.
"Humph!" Lu Su snorted coldly in his heart that these gentry were speculators, and they would never do anything that had no benefit. If they had benefits, they rushed forward one by one. Although Lu Su was dissatisfied, he could only be dissatisfied in his heart. The Lu family is also a member of the noble family, so he cannot add enemies to the Lu family for nothing.
"I'm not in a position to decide this matter, I still need to ask my lord for instructions!" With so many gentry swarming up, Lu Su couldn't agree to anyone, anyone who promised would offend others, and if you agree easily, what will others think of you! Especially Sun Ce's main force, they have worked so hard to take down the city, and you just took the credit for it, so what about the robes who died in battle, and how will you reward the wounds you suffered
"This is the best, the best!" Seeing that Lu Su would not let go, the gentry had no choice but to stand in front of the big tent one by one and watch Lu Su walk in.
As soon as Lu Su entered the big tent, he saw Sun Ce in armor, and couldn't help but be surprised, because Sun Ce had already suffered such serious injuries, why would he go to the battlefield? "Your lord!" Lu Su hesitated to speak, but Sun Ce couldn't see it and smiled.
"Zijing, don't worry, I'm not going to fight, I just want to see the scene where Wancheng is broken!" Wancheng, Sun Ce and him are very familiar, Lu Kang and Liu Mang are blocking him in Wancheng Outsiders, Lu Kang died, and now only Liu Mang is left.
"What's going on outside!" The commotion outside couldn't be hidden from Sun Ce's ears. Warlords have ear tubes to see all directions, and their hearing and vision are exceptionally good, not to mention that Sun Ce has already stepped into the pinnacle of refining gods.
"It's those gentry!" Lu Su could only smile wryly and told Sun Ce the scene outside the big tent.
"Hmph!" Sun Ce's face turned cold, "I didn't look at them when I attacked the city yesterday, but I am very active today!" When Sun Ce asked Lu Su to give the order to attack the city yesterday, all the chiefs of the gentry lowered their heads and said nothing. Fa, when Lu Su ordered it, the ugly expressions on the faces of those families seemed to be dead, and now they are all right, and when they heard that Wancheng was about to be destroyed, they all came to grab credit.
Sometimes Sun Ce wished he could kill all these gentry, all of them were rice worms and cancerous tumors, they occupied the best land in every county and counties. Where does the population come from for the army, where does the tax come from, how can we support the army without tax!
Moreover, these gentry are still very domineering and domineering, and they don't pay attention to some county captains and prefects sent by Sun Ce. Asking them to raise an army ration and send out a soldier is the same as killing them!
The reason for sending troops to attack Lu Bu this time is that Lu Bu killed most of the gentry in Lujiang, except for a few of the Liu family and the Lu family. They were afraid of Lu Bu's strength. One by one scrambling to send out private soldiers.
The appearance of private soldiers at the beginning revealed murderous intent in Sun Ce's eyes. Of the 100,000 troops, only 30,000 of them were his main force, and the rest were brought out by these gentry.
It took only a few days to mobilize 70,000 people. If he wanted to rebel, then his Kuaiji and even the entire Jiangdong would fall directly! That's what these gentry are. Anyone who has interests flocks to them. When there is danger, the first thing that comes to mind immediately is how to save yourself. After Cao Cao took down the Central Plains, he immediately sent his army south, and won Jingzhou's 800,000 troops ready to go. At this time, the gentry in Jiangdong panicked. Some time ago, they talked about Cao's thief, but now they have become Prime Minister Cao, Cao Cao How is the prime minister, how is it, even the Zhang family headed to persuade Sun Quan, who is already the lord, to surrender.
Sun Quan is not stupid! Those like the Zhang family and the Liu family can all surrender. After they surrendered, even Cao Cao might give them generous rewards in order to appease these gentry, including officials, nobles, land and jewelry, and his grandson's family! Either he was rewarded on the surface like the Liu family in Jingzhou, but he was actually killed by doves, or he was really like raising a pig and was judged by others all his life, and he was humiliated all his life.
To sum it up in one sentence, these gentry are a group of villains, a group of fools, and a group of opportunistic villains.
Sometimes Sun Ce really envied Lu Bu, who was so unscrupulous and able to wipe out these cancers. But he couldn't, Lu Bu didn't care about fame. If you kill it, you kill it, so what about the butcher, if Lu Bu cared about his reputation, he wouldn't have killed Ding Yuan and then Dong Zhuo.
Besides, Lu Bu is still barefoot. To be honest, Sun Ce really doesn't want to offend Lu Bu. There is no benefit at all. Barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes. Look at what the whole Lujiang River has become. , What was left was nothing but a mess, with countless casualties, and Lu Bu, he just patted his ass and left, anyway, Lu Bu had no territory in the first place.
These gentry are the reason for the turbulent times. If they didn't squeeze the people too much, if they didn't annex the land and make the people have no way out, how could those people rebel!
"Huh!" Sun Ce stood up, his face was full of discomfort, the peach pickers came, and if Lujiang was beaten down, more than half of them would be divided up by these gentry.
"My lord, why don't I reject them!" Lu Su also knew Sun Ce's embarrassment. None of these gentry was a good son. Sun Ce could deal with one gentry but he couldn't disgrace all the gentry. Without the support of these gentry, The Jiangdong army will be unable to move an inch in Jiangdong.
Lu Su can only be the bad guy, reject them, or let the main force directly attack the city.
"No need!" Sun Ce waved his hand to stop Lu Su, "Since they are going, let them go!"
"My lord?!" Could it be that he really gave them this peach? What to do with Danyang soldiers like this! These ruffian soldiers are unreasonable. After spending so much energy to bleed, the credit goes to others, and the Danyang soldiers will explode.
"Go! Then you have to be ordered to take this credit!" Sun Ce's eyes flashed coldly, since they want the credit so much, then just give it to them, isn't it just some reward! If you have a life, you can take it, but if you don't, you can spend it! The dead don't ask for rewards. At most, Sun Ce would ask for a posthumous title for them like Xu Du.
"Huh?!" Lu Su's heart was also chilled. Sun Ce was really angry. Originally, Lu Su planned to let his own Lu family participate in the siege, so that the credit would also go to the Lu family, but seeing Sun Ce's Lu Su couldn't help shivering.
"Zijing, tell them that I can't favor anyone because they want too many people to attack the city, so let them fight for themselves. Whoever is in charge of the city is the first to attack the city, then the city of Wanwan will be broken." I will give it to anyone!" The more Sun Ce said, the more afraid Lu Su became.
This is borrowing a knife to kill someone! It is not difficult to attack Wancheng, but what is difficult is the conditions behind Sun Ce, who is in charge! Those pampered and pampered children, let them go to the city wall? Wear fancy clothes? Go up the city wall with jewelry? Although there are not many Lu Bujun left in Wancheng, they can still fight back violently to fight trapped beasts, and trapped beasts are the easiest to kill, and if they kill red eyes, these gentry gentlemen will be out of luck.
Haven't even been on the battlefield and went directly to the city wall? What is the difference between killing and dying!
"Will my lord do this?!" Lu Su gritted his teeth. Sun Ce's actions were too obvious. It was clear that he was borrowing a knife to kill someone. Those gentry would agree! And if there were really heavy casualties, wouldn't these gentry shake the Sun family's rule in Jiangdong!
"Zijing, why worry so much!" Sun Ce waved his hand, "They are the ones who want to take the credit! If they don't want to, then forget it. As for Zijing, you are worried that these gentry will take their anger out on me! Hehe, how dare they! Let alone killing Theirs is Lu Bu's army, not me, Sun Ce, and in the end they hate Lu Bu even more, so they will do more to encircle and suppress Lu Bu!"
Who said that Sun Ce can only fight and can't use his brain! No matter how many casualties these gentry have, someone will always attack the city wall. In the end, Sun Ce only needs to reward one person. This will make the gentry who attacked the city wall feel grateful to him, and other gentry will only look jealous and kill the gentry The person in charge is Lu Bujun, so they will hate Lu Bu even more and rely on Sun Ce even more.
Sun Ce had wanted to kill a group of gentry for a long time, and he was very annoying to point fingers at Jiangdong all day long.
For example, Sun Ce harvested grain in Wuhu. The whole Wuhu has hundreds of thousands of fertile fields, but the grain and grass turned in in the end was less than 5,000 shi. Wuhu is a land of fish and rice, 5,000 shi? Coax ghosts! In anger, Sun Ce sent people to investigate, and if there was corruption, he would be punished on the spot. However, in the end, he found that the prefect of Wuhu not only did not commit corruption, but saved his own salary. , Most of the good land is occupied by the family, the family hides it and does not report it. It is clear that there are thousands of acres of good land, but he said it is dry land. It is clear that his own production is thousands of stones, but he said that this year's harvest is poor. Such a cancer should have been done long ago. .
Killing yourself will dirty your hands, and it will also affect Jiangdong's rule, so let Lu Bujun kill it!
Didn't His Royal Highness the King of Shu kill thousands of households at once? No matter how many thousands of people there are!
None of the feudal lords is a simple character, Lu Su finally understands now, although Lu Su thinks he is talented and very confident, but he knows that he can rule a place and unify the army, but he can't be a feudal vassal. world! . )
