Wu Qu smiled slightly: "It's either Wei Guo or the instigator."
Jiang Fan understood clearly that the Wei State was the most likely, but he did not rule out the possibility that someone would deliberately sow discord. But in any case, it gave the Shentu family strong confidence.
Jiang Fan leaned over and sat up: "Is there no other possibility?"
Wu Quguang said calmly: "It's not like there's nothing..."
Jiang Fan became interested: "Xingjun, come and listen."
Wu Qu glanced at him: "The third type is the trapper."
Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment and said meaningfully: "Why do I feel that the way you look at me is not right?"
Wu Qu just said: "That depends on whether what the prince is doing is right."
Jiang Fan pointed at him and tutted: "I thought that Old Wang was already the most cunning one among the Beidou people. It seems that you don't have to give in too much."
Wu Qu remained calm: "The Lord once said that soldiers are crafty."
Jiang Fan let out a long sigh and put his hands on the pillow in annoyance: "Since when did you think of me, an innocent young man, so sinister..."
Wu Qu was stunned for a moment: "Your teacher said that you are so shameless that you have already cultivated to the level of the Earthly Immortal Realm..."
Jiang Fan's mouth twitched: "Are you saying I'm shameless?"
"I didn't say that." Wu Qu said sternly: "Your teacher, he said, invincible defense, carefree and shameless."
Jiang Fan had veins popping up on his forehead, and he was so angry that he couldn't even speak.
"He...he rhymes quite well...!"
Wu Qu was convinced: "The Governor-General is of great literary talent."
"Feiran, you are tall. He is my teacher after all. How good will your reputation be if word spreads about it?"
Wu Qu hummed: "The Governor has no such worries. He also said that your shameless energy is quite similar to his youthful demeanor."
Jiang Fan:......
After being sulky for a long time, Mr. Jiang decided to get down to business.
"You are known as Wuqu Xingjun among the Beidou people. Do you think the Shentu family will threaten me with civilians?"
Wu Qu said: "The Lord said that if you carry a sword, you are a thief."
Jiang Fan frowned: "That being said, dogs will jump over walls when they are anxious. It would be very difficult for the Shentu family to use civilians as a shield."
Wu Qu looked at him: "Then let the dog have no time to jump over the wall."
Jiang Fan was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Wu Qu said slowly: "Everyone who uses swords and soldiers has something to ask for. No matter how many reasons there are, there is an owner. When the prince moves, he wants to expel Shentu. When Shentu moves, he wants to protect the foundation. But there is hope, no one has it. I would rather settle for the next best thing, let alone burn the jade and stone together.”
This shows the difference between a real commander-in-chief and Jiang Fan, a man who talks on paper. These few words immediately made Jiang Fan enlightened.
"Lure them out and then hit them unexpectedly!"
Wu Qugong cupped his hand and said: "Our army is equipped with weapons that the world has never seen before. It is a surprise at the right time."
Jiang Fan raised his thumb and said, "Wu Qu Xingjun is indeed extraordinary."
"They are all taking the entrance examination." Wu Qu said calmly.
Haha, Jiang Fan looks calm and calm on the face, but hehehe in his heart, should I test you? A copywriter? You really think highly of me.
However, he still had some questions: "Isn't it impossible to besiege but not attack?"
Wu Qu said: "No, if this is the case, the prince's weakness will be seen in the world. Those who use weapons and weapons will not tolerate mercy."
Jiang Fan sighed softly: "You're right. If you don't control the army with kindness, you won't be able to make money... If we fight this battle well, the Shentu family will be the last resistance. If we eliminate them, no one in the fiefdom will dare to make any mistakes."
Wu Qu nodded: "Shen Tu dares to rebel so wildly. If we remove the people, there will be a way out. Has your lord ever..."
Jiang Fan suddenly waved his hand and grinned: "You just said that there is a third kind."
Wu Qu's eyes moved slightly: "So, may I ask, Lord, how far has this battle gone?"
"Fight to death. What happens next depends on fate..."
Wu Qu looked at him deeply, but did not ask a word, just handed over his hand: "Subordinate, follow the order."
——
With everyone paying attention, on the evening of the ninth day, King Xiaoyao's army came to Hecangjun City. One hundred thousand troops surrounded the isolated city, and dark clouds were overwhelming.
Everyone is waiting for news to see how King Xiaoyao will bite this hard nut, which will determine their future thinking.
However, most of them thought that he would not attack and use pressure to force the Shentu family to compromise. After all, the Shentu family had already heard the news that two hundred thousand soldiers and civilians in the city would fight to the death. This meant using civilians as a shield. Everyone thought that although King Xiaoyao claimed to be a thief when he picked up a sword, he would not be willing to take it seriously. He won the hearts and minds of the people in his fiefdom.
As for the Shentu family, in the eyes of the public, they are just trying to fight for better conditions, and they will compromise sooner or later.
So the result of compromise is nothing more than two kinds: first, pay a certain amount of money to satisfy the person and achieve the goal of independence and self-governance. Second, ask for an official title, become the governor of Hecang County, and dominate one side.
And all this, with the arrival of King Xiaoyao, it is obvious that it will be discussed in detail on the table. Therefore, many bold forces thought they had seen the situation clearly, and even entered Hecang City in advance to wait for first-hand news.
Unexpectedly, as soon as King Xiaoyao's army completed the siege of the city, a general, holding a torch high and riding a horse, came to the city gate and shouted an order.
"According to the decree of King Zhenxi, the Shentu family is ordered to open the city and surrender tomorrow morning. Otherwise, we will attack the city tomorrow and when the city is broken, the entire Shentu family will be slaughtered. Don't say it was unforeseen!"
The whole Hecang City was in chaos at that time. People all over the city were in panic.
The Shentu family was also caught off guard by this powerful move. In addition to immediately arranging to strengthen defense, they immediately held a family meeting to discuss countermeasures.
And those who were watching were even more panic-stricken. Unexpectedly, they made a miscalculation and put themselves in danger, and they all gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
"This boy is like this..." Wei Li stood on the high tower in the city with his hands behind his hands, looking down at the black army.
"He is a person who is not threatened." Gao Rong, who was nearly a head taller than him, was wearing coarse linen clothes, holding the horizontal knife given by Jiang Fan in his hand, standing beside him and spoke.
"It can be seen that... a forceful attack is a bad idea. Even if the city is captured, his reputation of ignoring the life and death of the people will spread, which will be detrimental to him and Qin." Wei Li said lightly.
"The person holding the knife is a thief. It is justified within his own territory. In other words, I would massacre the city."
Wei Li chuckled: "The fiefdom has just been conferred and has not yet been officially taken over. It is still inappropriate to act like this. Besides, the conferment by the imperial court is not very convincing, and it is easy to give others falsehoods."
"The disease of scabies can be suppressed by force. There is no need to work hard. Killing chickens to scare monkeys can scare the world. Who dares to disobey under the force of force? As for what the teacher said about the people's will, the people are forgetful. As long as it is managed properly, it will not take ten years. Everything becomes a cloud."
Wei Li nodded: "It makes sense, but this method is more suitable for a nationwide war. When there is no time to waste the opportunity, those who are good at fighting should use the method at the right time. This is not the best policy. With such a famous name, is there really no way to have both sides? ? I think I can wait and see."
