Chapter 230. Linzi

No wonder Liu Bei was defeated so many times, and he became a loser, and he could finally get up! Mr. Cao was the only three counties in Zhencheng who were beaten, and he could make a comeback because of the two words feudal, and the government orders did not leave the city. Each county-level unit was basically controlled by the township. They had no concept of loyalty at all. Basically, whoever is stronger or who can bring them benefits will surrender to whoever they defect.

It was very similar to the Middle Ages in Europe. Emperor Xian of Han was the Pope, the Pope who lost power, Cao Cao was the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, who used the emperor to command the princes, and the only ones left Yuan Shao and Liu Biao were the kings. These counties were local nobles. The king could order these nobles to prepare the army and pay a small part of the tax, but they could not rule their territory.

But this also has benefits. As long as you have an army, you can easily obtain large chunks of territory.

The soldiers were quick and they stripped out the captured Qi army officers, and then pulled out 10,000 people from Zang Ba, Wu Shuo and others to disperse them. One team of three Taishan bandits and six Qi soldiers were organized. Then, Wang Hou led these surrendered soldiers and marched north again.

Jiang Yiqu’s troops had 19,000, and Taishan troops had 50,000 at this time. Although most of them were unreliable, they would add more and rounded up. Wang Hou also had millions of troops. Moreover, Wang Hou had just stepped out of Yidu County and brought the last seven thousand troops. General Qi Junlang, who fled on the battlefield that day, also surrendered to the city. Yidu City, which had resisted Zang Ba for more than a month, surrendered without fighting.

In the heavy snow shell, looking at the blue-gray Yidu wall, Zang Ba was so angry that his eyes turned red. If it weren't for the small county town that did not poop and no chicken lay eggs that blocked his way north, now the pattern of Qingzhou land would have changed. Sitting in Linzi City in front of the local emperor, Zang Ba would have given the order!

If he was the one who came to command the army at this time, he would definitely be furious and ordered his troops to enter Yidu County to burn, kill and plunder for three days and three nights to relieve his hatred.

Unfortunately, there is no if in history. Zang Ba's pupils were red and staring at the city wall for a long time, but Wu Shuo pulled his sleeves. Seeing him shook his head helplessly and angrily throwing his sleeves, Zang Ba was also so angry that he could not helplessly turn over and then embarked on the journey.

He did not enter Yidu City. He just brought the troops under Lang General Jiang He and the grain stored in the city, and the army continued to head north in a mighty manner and arrived in Linzi City on January 18th!

From the Western Zhou Dynasty, Jiang Ziya, who was said to have the legendary whip, was sealed here. This city has always been the center of Shandong. When Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, he once migrated many powerful people in Linzi City and demolished the city walls of Linzi City, causing the place to decline slightly. However, when Han Xinfeng King Qi, he began to build the Linzi City Wall again until the time of King Qi Liu Fei.

After more than three hundred years of storm and storm during the Han Dynasty, Linzi City did not suffer any devastating blows, so it is rare that what is presented to Wang Hou is an ancient city with a very complete Warring States charm.

What made him even more excited was that Linzi did not open the city to surrender!

At this time, Linzi City could have a population of about 200,000. One-tenth of the population of Qi lived here. The city wall in front of him was nearly five kilometers, three gates, and nine towering arrow towers stood on the city tower. You could vaguely see someone holding a bow and arrow climbing up the snow-covered wooden arrow tower, climbing up to the high and looking inward. He could vaguely see the pavilions and towers in the city, with high houses, clouds and mist, and it was so grand.

Although it was a lady from the big family of Langya Kingdom, Langya Kingdom did not have such a magnificent city. With Wang Hou standing on the observation deck, Zhuge Ying's beautiful big eyes were almost flying out, and he shouted with great excitement.

"Wow! What a grand and prosperous city!"

Many people have seen metropolis in later generations, and Furong Garden in later generations is smaller than Linzi City. Although I have never been to the Scenic Spot of Songcheng in Kaifeng, I heard that the scale is almost the same as the city in front of me. When I heard this girl amazed, Wang Hou felt very superior. He glanced at the girl like a country bumpkin. As she pouted her mouth and whispered, he waved the president's slap.

After passing the order, he divided his troops and ordered the Beihai Prime Minister Zang Ba to camp in the west gate, Yin Li and the remaining troops of Qi to station the south gate with the governor of the state, to repair the village walls, and prepare to attack the city!"

In fact, at the end of the Han Dynasty, surrendering to generals was not shameful. Just like Cao Cao's five good generals, Zhang Liao, Gao Lan, and Yu Jin, they were all surrendering, but it was rare for Jiang Yiqu to surrender more than fifty years ago. But if you surrender, you will be inferior to others and have to find a way to seek credit in front of the new lord. Seeing Wang Hou looking at the city wall, the old guy had an old face and held his fists and asked respectfully.

"The governor of the state, if I can trust me, I am willing to enter the city and persuade me to surrender!"

"No need! I will pacify Qingzhou on behalf of the emperor and fight against the thieves! How can I tolerate these snakes and rats? Since they are stubborn and willing to be buried with the thief Yuan, then let them do it!"

Just kidding, this cannon has been set up, and it is useless for now. It is rare to encounter someone who is blind, how can you not play tricks?

In the stunned gaze of Jiang Yiqu, Wang Hou waved his sleeves and waved him back directly.

…………

Xin Ping and Qi family who were blocked in Linzi are so loyal to the Yuan family of Zhumadian? Let's take it down! Xin Ping's younger brother Xin Pi is still the Central Army Officer under General Cao, and Yuan's eyes are shaking. Whose head is stuck in the door and is willing to be buried with him! However, Wang Hou's reputation is not good. He wielded a big stick in Chengyang County and scraped the ground. The sky is three feet high. The Qi gentry who always pays attention to him is naturally quite heard. Although the situation is like this, they still want to wait for the price and get good conditions for themselves.

After all, siege is a headache for any general, especially Wang Hou's expedition, which is cold in winter. If he is trapped under the city for a long time, he will have to retreat if he is not good.

However, the scholars of Linzi are still happy to find a new elder brother for themselves! If you are willing to be a clay Buddha, everyone is willing to put tributes to fill in incense. Wang Hou sets up a formation under the city wall and sends engineers to build a snow wall trench. With the sound of creaking ropes at the south gate of Linzi, an old man with white hair and beard is placed in a large earth basket and is put down.

A few scout cavalrymen who were placed outside the city immediately rushed to go up, carrying his elbow and lifting him back to the central army.

"Old Tianzhao, pay homage to the governor of Qingzhou!"

The Tian family became a major event to end the Spring and Autumn Period. From then on, the Tian family, who originally came from Jianghuai, took root in Qingzhou, even if Qin Shihuang had moved a lot, he did not uproot the Tian family. When the Chu-Han battled for hegemony, the Tian family Qi State once dragged Xiang Yu into the quagmire of war. It was probably after Tian Qi. Although this old man was taken back and entered the central army tent, his old man still looked neither humble nor arrogant, and his chest was well-rounded and nodded gently.

This etiquette is extremely light! Jia Xu, who was accompanying him, couldn't help but frown heavily.

But he didn't care whether he was a descendant of Tian Qi, Shilin's fame or something. He looked rude and started yelling at the top of his voice.

"Well, what are you going to do in our central army?"
