Chapter 44 Corruption

This is not the first time that Jiang Feng has enjoyed the benefits of being a disciple of Li Mu, and he has great experience in this kind of thing.

In Zhao State, as long as Li Mu does not fall and Jiang Qi himself does not commit suicide, Jiang Qi's status will continue to improve.

When Li Mu got old and could not continue to command troops, with Jiang Yu's talent and ability, he would have become an important official of Zhao State and held military power.

It is also because of this that in Zhao, many court officials and nobles are willing to sell Jiang Yan for a favor.

Of course, Li Mu's face is not easy to use everywhere. In Zhao, Li Mu also has many political enemies.

Under the protection of a thousand personal soldiers, Jiang Yu returned to the barracks and immediately summoned the generals in the army to inform everyone of the trick of the city fraud.

"Everyone, please gather all the troops immediately. Tonight, Pang Jiang's army invited all the generals to drink and chat in Wuyang City." Jiang Yu shouted loudly with the token in hand.

"yes!"

When Jiang Yu led the crowd to meet with Pang Nuan, it was already the hour of Xu at night.

At this time, the ambush here has ended. Ju Xin was defeated and died. More than 6,000 Yan troops were killed in battle, and the rest were captured.

Since he had to attack the city at night, Pang Nuan ordered the soldiers to make fires and cook on the spot, while waiting for Jiang Yu to lead his troops to come.

On this day, Jiang Yu ran back and forth for hundreds of miles, and was already exhausted. After a simple meal and resting for half an hour, Jiang Yu took the eight thousand soldiers under his command and followed Pang Nuan to Wuyang City.

A thousand soldiers and horses had already worn the armor of the Yan army, disguised themselves as defeated troops of the Yan State, and rushed towards Wuyang City while the night was shining.

"Who are you?" Seeing a thousand soldiers appearing under the city, the soldiers guarding the city asked with a little nervousness.

"Brothers above, we are General Qin's subordinates. General Ju Xin was ambushed by Jiang Yu's son and had been killed by the old thief Pang Nuan. We all fought hard to break out of the siege and rushed back to report the situation of the battle. Open the door and let us in."

"What did you say? I'll go back and report immediately, you're waiting below."

Soon, several Yan generals in armor came to the city tower and looked down at the people under the city. One of them asked in shock: "People below, what you just said is the truth. General Ju is really dead?"

"That's right! Jiang Xi's child is extremely cunning. He pretended to be defeated and lured General Ju Xin to chase him, but set up an ambush halfway. I am General Qin's personal soldier. I was originally protecting General Qin to break through, but General Qin fought with General Zhao and died."

"Then how did you escape?"

"A few brothers have fought to the death to cut off the back for us before we can escape. General, we have important military information reports, please open the door."

"Open the door!"

‘Squeak!’

As the gate of Wuyang City opened wide, a general Zhao, disguised as a Yan army, unconsciously held the sword in his hand tightly. When the gate was completely opened, he immediately shouted: "Kill!"

"Send the signal!"

‘Swoosh swish swish!’

In the quiet night, the sound of whistle arrows was heard several miles away. After hearing the sound faintly, Pang Nuan looked overjoyed, pulled out the sword from her waist, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, breaking the city will be here tonight, kill!"

The two generals who were arranged to attack the city immediately led 10,000 soldiers and rushed towards Wuyang City.

But for a moment, the sound of killing soaring to the sky came over. After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Pang Nuan ordered again: "Everyone, follow me into the city!"

When Jiang Xi led his soldiers into Wuyang, the war at Xicheng Gate had ended, but there were still many places in the city fighting.

All the generals of Zhao State had their own tasks. Some were responsible for pursuing the Yan army, some were responsible for occupying the other three city gates, some were responsible for attacking the government offices where the generals of Yan State lived, and some were responsible for collecting the money treasury in the city.

Jiang Yu was responsible for the task of occupying the granary and armory in the city.

In a military city like Wuyang City, Zhao State had already scouted the city's layout clearly. Jiang Qi took the map and led his troops to the granary. When he saw the granary fire, he immediately shouted: "Go and put out the fire quickly. When you meet the Yan State army, you will be killed without mercy."

"Xu Zhong, Li Ren, leave it to you here, and everyone else comes with me!"

After occupying the granary, Jiang Qi took his troops to the armory and rushed to the armory without stopping. Open the gate of the armory. Jiang Qi took Wang Hu and Xuan Jian into it.

"So many!" Wang Hu saw that the armory was placed in the armory, armor, and countless armours to guard the city, and his eyes were almost lit up.

"Our army suddenly sieges the city, and many Yan soldiers are probably still in their dreams. The weapons and equipment here should be spare. If the Yan army has many casualties and wounded, they will recruit civilians to defend the city on the spot." Jiang Yu touched a spear and said lightly: "Take away ten thousand people's weapons and armor, and take some of the weapons to defend the city."

"General, are there too many?" Wang Hu said hesitantly in his forehead.

"Who knows how many there are here? We don't even say it, who knows we took it?" Jiang Yu snorted: "Let another fire. If Pang Jiangjun asks, it will burn it."

"yes!"

In fact, the amount of equipment in the granary and arsenal may not be unknown. At least there must be reports in the government office where Ju Xin lives.

So setting a fire is actually safe.

With Jiang Yu's military achievements this time, and with the fact that the prostitute was fanning the flames in the harem of King Zhao, it should not be a big problem to get the title of marquis.

With the position of marquis, Jiang Yu could even enter the court and scramble for the storm of Zhao State.

After all, Jiang Yu not only has military achievements, but also has the credit for contributing the method of salt making. Zhao State is so rich recently, I believe King Zhao should have made a lot of money by using the method of salt making.

During the Warring States Period, any country would respect talents who could lead troops to fight wars.

In Qin, perhaps the Legalists were more valued, but in the six Shandong countries, military strategists were still the mainstream.

However, after obtaining the title this time, Jiang Yan's position may not be promoted in the next few years. What Jiang Yan has to do next is to lead troops to fight, defend the country, and repay King Zhao's "graceful kindness".

It is also considered accumulating qualifications.

The so-called qualifications are partly about accumulating military merits, while the other part is about forming cliques and enhancing connections.

The shouts of killing in Wuyang City did not stop until the second half of the night. At the same time, Jiang Yu also received a military order from the messenger, asking Jiang Yu to go to the government office to discuss matters.

The government office where Pang Qian was originally where Ju Xin lived, but it has been requisitioned now.

When Jiang Qi entered the hall, all the generals had basically arrived. After Jiang Qi returned to his position, Pang Qi first said: "Our army's victory in this battle depends on the heroic killing of the enemy. Pang thanked you here!"

"This is the command of the general." The soldiers said in unison.

After a series of commercial hypes, Pang Qi finally talked about the main thing: "In today's battle, how many casualties will our army be? What are the results? Please report them one by one."
