In one day, ten thousand men and horses were ready to go.
Zhu Hongfang led the troops towards Xuantu City. At the same time, the same thing happened in Liaodong City, but the situation there was more complicated.
The soldiers who came to report, combined with the opinions of the Tianshou Division, specifically stated that a large number of troops were needed when reporting, because Li Sa in Liaodong City not only suspected the change of defense edict, but also disliked this kind of scholar-bureaucrat family.
After discussing with the people below, Ran Jing decided to send 20,000 soldiers into the city in batches. If they could not enter the city, they would forcibly block the city gate.
So far, although Tianshou Division has not found out the garrison strength of these main cities.
But from the information sent by the Zhang family, it can be seen that in order to attack Haoqiu, all the troops that can be mobilized have been taken away, and even if there are some left, they are some troops with poor combat effectiveness.
After Zhu Hongfang led his army to Xuantu City, in order to win people's hearts, Li Sa naturally called some of the army's most humble guests to have a feast.
But after just one meal, things became big.
Originally, Zhu Hongfang was still looking for time and needed to control everyone. No matter which official escaped, it was not a good thing for a city without full control.
There are even some highly reputable officials who can inspire people and can trigger riots if they are not careful.
But Laisa from Xuantu City gave him this opportunity. For the banquet, almost all the officials in the city were present.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Originally, these 10,000 troops were already switching defenses with the garrison.
Zhu Hongfang called his subordinates inside, and after muttering a few words in his ear, his subordinates quickly walked outside.
Lasa was in high spirits and her whole face was glowing red.
Obviously, the more elite his army is, the more benefits it will bring to him. He doesn't want to, but other Li Sa wants to return to the royal city.
He is already a feudal official, so he naturally likes to stay outside. In addition, the products here are rich, and seafood may not be available, but there is always a shortage of river fresh food.
He took the initiative to stand up and toast Zhu Hongfang. The Zhang family members also looked attentive, but only the head of the Zhang family showed a lack of interest.
In fact, today, the head of the Zhang family is under great pressure. If it weren't for this critical moment, he would really want to flip the table and shout.
"I won't pretend anymore."
"Zhu Moke, your surname is really rare here. I wonder if there is a family in the royal city?"
Zhu Hongfang replied, "No, I am not a scholar-bureaucrat. I have only reached this point with military merit, but I have stopped here. It's just like finding a place to retire."
La Sa was stunned. This was the first time he heard someone say this. The main reason was that the person who said this was too young.
"Hahaha, I wish you the best. It's really interesting."
"Since it's a defense change, I wonder if my original soldiers will be transferred?"
Zhu Hongfang asked, "I wonder how many soldiers are guarding the city, Mr. Li Sa?"
"There are only five thousand people, and they are all new soldiers and remnants of defeated soldiers. If it weren't for the attack on Haoqiu, I would have at least 20,000 elite soldiers now."
Li Sa's tone was a little depressed, and he obviously had some thoughts of his own about the troop deployment at that time.
"Master Li Sa, don't be so angry. During the war, Liaodong City was also drafted."
Lasa smiled bitterly and said, "Then you don't know something. The guy from Liaodong City has a military background. He can't be compared with our scholar-bureaucrat family. He has always been tough."
"I relied on myself step by step to get to the position of Li Sa. To be honest, I admire him very much. It is not that simple to switch defenses on his side. I will definitely make things difficult for him."
"Oh I got it!"
Zhu Hongfang narrowed his eyes and flashed a flash of surprise. He came outside in the name of Urinary Escape and found a subordinate, asking him to inform General Ran about the matter.
When he returned to the house, he saw another soldier walking over in a hurry and held his hand.
"General, the city defense is under control. Some of our brothers have begun to control the families of officials and scholar-bureaucrats in the city according to the list."
"Okay, it should be like this. When will it be better? When will you tell me that the food here~~~ is too unpalatable."
Zhu Hongfang has been enduring this for a long time, but not only the head of the Zhang family is ready to flip the table, but he is also ready to flip the table.
At the entrance of a mansion near the city lord's palace.
A line of two hundred soldiers stood at the door. One of the soldiers knocked on the door, his hand already pressed tightly on the handle of the knife.
The moment a boy came out, the leading soldier kicked the door, and the door was immediately broken open.
Two hundred soldiers filed in. The soldiers in the front row were holding light crossbows that were easy to carry. When they saw servants who dared to resist, they shot them directly.
In an instant, blood flowed everywhere in the mansion.
Not long after, the women and the men in the family were pulled out one by one, and the old man was still on the ground roughly.
Several children hugged each other and cried bitterly. One of the boys rushed towards the leader and kept hitting his knees with his small fists.
"My father is Li Sa, you are so brave."
"Bang!"
The boy was kicked away, and the woman next to him jumped towards her child in horror.
Two of the soldiers instantly raised their light crossbows and aimed at the woman, but were pressed down by a sudden extended palm.
The leading soldier is not an idiot. As a leader, he can already initially understand Yang Qian's combat thinking.
Killing the enemy is not the goal. There are many ways to achieve the goal besides killing, but I am only a hundred years old and need to obey orders. If I don't do well.
The people below will definitely report their mistakes, and if they do, they will be miserable.
Of course, Chief Bai would not blame them. If Qu Hou did something excessive or seriously violated military discipline, he would be reported by his subordinates or even captured on the spot.
The idea of loyalty to the emperor has penetrated into their bones.
Bai Chang took out a list from his arms, checked it one by one, and frowned after a while.
"You have here and where are the other two stewards?"
In the center of the field, everyone sitting on the ground had angry faces. It was obvious that they were still unaware of their situation.
Bai Chang didn't say anything, but he was very sensible. He walked over and slapped a young man twice.
"If you don't tell me, if you don't tell me, I'll cut off your hand."
The young man glared angrily, and the hot feeling made the noble son of the main city's blood surge up. He stood up with a grin on his face.
He pointed at the soldier's nose and cursed, "You are nothing if you step on a horse. I tell you, don't think you are arrogant now. When my brother comes, you will all be dead. I will definitely~~~~!"
With a "bang", the young man was kicked away. As soon as he reached the end, he was pinned to the ground and beaten by two soldiers.
Are you kidding me? Although there is no Xuanjia Army on Ran Jing's side, Yang Gan still serves as a reserve in the Polu Army for the sake of the later recruitment system. The combat power of these Polu Army is not much worse than that of the Xuanjia Army.
He beat the young man until he cried for his father and mother.
Bai Chang frowned and said, "No one knows?"
The door opened, and two middle-aged men came in from the outside with a servant, carrying things in their hands, obviously looking like they had bought something.
After escorting the three people over, Bai Chang checked off the names on the list. Only then did he feel relieved.
This is the residence of Laisa, so it is naturally a top priority. With the fighting power of the Polu army, there are usually only fifty people in other scholar-bureaucrats or official residences.
Bai Chang said, pointing to the boy who was kicked down by him and showing a stern look, as well as the woman holding him.
"Take these two away to me, and throw all the others into prison."
"promise!"
In the heart-rending screams and begging for mercy, the scene slowly ended.
When a soldier whispered a few words into Zhu Hongfang's ear.
A strange smile appeared on Zhu Hongfang's lips.
Li Sa said with a smile, "We are adjacent to the Juli River and are rich in aquatic products. Even in winter, some rivers are not frozen, so there are aquatic products that can be eaten all year round and are delicious. I wish you can eat more."
Zhu Hongfang changed his modesty just now, turned his face and said arrogantly.
"Delicious? I don't think so. I just think the food here is unpalatable and extremely unpalatable."
As soon as he said this, everyone in the entire hall looked at him in bewilderment, secretly thinking that this person had gone crazy.
Lasa's face suddenly turned from sunny to cloudy, accompanied by occasional showers, and she was obviously very dissatisfied.
"Zhu Moke, do you know what you are talking about?"
Zhu Hongfang stood up, took out a cigarette from his arms, slowly lit it for himself, took a long puff, and overturned the case.
"Fuck, I've been putting up with you for a long time."
"You bastard, drag me down here." Li Sa was furious. This person had threatened his status and he had to be severely punished to convince the public.
When twenty or thirty soldiers rushed in, Lasa was stunned and roared angrily. 33
"Drag this man out and punish him severely. Are you deaf?"
Zhu Hongfang flicked the butt of his cigarette, cracked the corner of his mouth, and said, "Except for the Zhang family, take down everyone else."
"promise!"
The soldiers crossed the border like locusts and directly beat down the officials and scholar-bureaucrats present.
The soldiers stepped forward, and a seat became available behind them. Immediately, another soldier rushed in, and the whole hall instantly became filled with wailing.
The Zhang family's subordinates couldn't help but widen their eyes, and they were all dumbfounded, but the head of the Zhang family took them away directly.
The old man was so panicked that he could only let him catch him.
Seeing that there were more and more soldiers, Laisa drew his bronze sword from his waist, kicked the flying case and rushed towards the soldiers.
These soldiers were very strong, but many of them were directly thrown away by Li Sa's attack.
Unfortunately, the armor on their bodies was destined not to be broken by chopping. However, Li Sa's martial arts skills were very strong. The soldiers who were almost chopped did not stand up at once.
Obviously armor can withstand the front of soldiers, but it cannot stop powerful forces.
Seeing that everyone had been subdued and only Laisa was still sweeping through the army, Zhu Hongfang stepped back slightly and waved.
Some people died, but not completely...
