Before dawn on June 5th, a fire broke out in Zhen's Lilu in the north of Zhenyi City, which immediately caused a panic. The big family Zhen Clan quickly organized clan soldiers to put out the fire. Because only a few single-family houses were set on fire, they were quickly extinguished and did not spread to the whole city.

However, they ignored the movement of Nanmen because of this, and it was too late when they reacted.

Twenty soldiers who had sneaked into the city earlier seized the south gate at the cost of injuring one person. Then the city gate was opened, the suspension bridge was lowered, and hundreds of Zhao Wu’s soldiers were ambushed outside the city.

Half an hour later, five hundred soldiers poured into the south gate, and then they were divided into several teams under the command of the military officials. They first took control of the intersections, and then the crossbow soldiers, led by the Han soldiers, rushed straight to the east gate and west gate. The guards at these two places were unprepared. After a round of blistering, they lost their morale and surrendered. Su Shouyu led people to control the east and west gates, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. He sent people to run along the city wall towards the north gate.

The soldiers armed with swords and shields went straight to the Yi Temple, crushing the dozens of guards who were awakened, and then captured the Weiguo Yi slaughter alive in dark clothes and preparing to go out to check the fire.

Three hundred light-armored soldiers with swords and spears swept across the streets, targeting the barracks in Yibei and Zhen's Lilu!

"The army of Jin has arrived, and returning quickly can save you from death!"

For a time, the whole city was filled with the cries of Zhao Wu's soldiers.

Zhenyi has a total of brigade guards, half of them are located in Simen and Yi Temple, and the other half stay in the barracks in Yixi. When the sound of the killing shook the sky, Yi Sima was shocked and did not have the courage to resist the street fighting. Instead, he rushed towards the north of the city with the untidy clothes and soldiers. They subconsciously wanted to break out of the city through the north gate.

However, when these two or three hundred people sparsely ran out of the north gate, they were shot back by a shower of arrows. But they saw that there were more than 20 light knights holding bows and arrows standing outside the north gate, blocking the way in a row. It was Yu Xi and others who had come around the wall in two groups before.

Right now. The crossbowmen from the west and east gates also occupied the north gate wall. There were light cavalry with tall horses in front of them, and dozens of crossbows pointed at them condescendingly above their heads. Yi Sima had no choice but to lead his army to surrender.

When Zhao Wuxi and Zhang Mengtanyi arrived at Zhenyiyi Temple without blood, they soon received good news from various pawns. At the third and a half hours of the city, Zhao Wuzu controlled the situation in the whole city at the fourth watch: the four gates were guarded by crossbowmen, the light knights patrolled outside the city, and a team of soldiers was left to guard each intersection, and the first soldier stared at the city. The Weiguo guards who were escorted back to the barracks in the west of the city were surrounded by the Zhen's Lilu in the north of the city.

Zhao Wuxi instructed: "Don't attack, let someone shout first, and say that the Jin army has taken control of this town. We will not kill and loot, and let the local patriarchs and elders come to the temple to discuss matters."

"In addition, people shouted martial law along the streets and alleys, so that the people of the country temporarily stay at home and not go out, and each soldier should take care of his own soldiers. Cut down the trees, don't touch the six animals. Those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law!"

Feng Rin heard the news and got out of the guest house when the military soldier entered the city. He would then make a cameo appearance as a lobbyist. The one sent by the Zhen family to negotiate with him on the wall happened to be the Nanmen Corporal Zhen Jin's father.

Seeing that the businessman who was still smiling at noon yesterday turned into a proud messenger in a blink of an eye. No matter how stupid Zhen Jin's father was, he still understood what was going on. Although he secretly scolded Feng Rin in his heart, on the bright side, he only agreed to please the temptation.

Feng Rin was protected by several armored soldiers with shields outside the wall, he raised his head and said to Zhen Jin's father on the wall: "Corporate Zhen, don't you think that with this little wall, you can temporarily protect yourself? Are you safe? Although the Zhen clan has a large number of people, these soldiers today are only the vanguard of the Jin army, and there is a black army behind them. They want to save the clan. I quickly persuade the clan chief to follow me to Yisi to surrender. , I can also help you to say things in front of the commander of the brigade."

And an army! ?

Zhen Jin's father was scared to pee. In a hurry to spread the word, Zhen's population is thousands. There are 500 clan soldiers, but under the deterrence of "the army of Jin State", they have no intention to resist. Previously, he was only worried about the robbery of the clan, but after receiving the promise of the other party not to kill, he chose to open the door and surrender. The patriarch took the three elders of the clan to Yi Temple to find out who the new owner of Zhen Yi was.

When the sun rose again in the early morning of June 6th, all the organized resistance in Zhenyi had been disintegrated. The number of guards and civilians in the city did not exceed 50 casualties, which was within Zhao Wuxi's acceptance range.

Overnight, Zhen Yi's day changed.

...

A group of chief officials of the Wei state in Zhenyi, such as the city Sima, the chief of the pawn, and the warehouse staff, were all taken to the Yi Temple, and waited for Zhao Wuxi's summons with the patriarch of the Zhen clan. They go along.

The tall temple gate is different from the laxness of the past, and now it is strictly guarded by soldiers with swords and armor.

Their eyes were fixed on the local guards, clans, merchants, and three old men who were rushing in from the door tremblingly.

The courtyard of Yi Temple is both wide and deep, with a hall in the middle, with flying corners of the eaves, majestic and tall, with stone steps in front of the hall extending into the courtyard. There was a jujube tree in the courtyard, with lush branches and leaves, and the jujubes were still green, so everyone was brought here, anxiously waiting for the summon of the conqueror.

On weekdays, the door of the hall where the sect chief worked was closed, and Zhao Wuxi and Zhang Mengtan had already occupied the dove's nest.

They sat down on the soft couch inside, flipping through the document pamphlet on the desk while discussing the countermeasures after winning Zhen Yi.

"The seal characters of Wei State are slightly different from Jin characters and Song characters, which makes me a little headache."

After winning Zhenyi, he was faintly excited. This was the first land he got after exile, and it was so easy to come by, but Zhang Mengtan immediately splashed him with cold water.

"Zitai, although we control the situation in the city, it does not mean that we control the entire Zhendi."

Zhang Mengtan pointed to a brochure and said: "Zhendi has a total of 2,500 household registrations and a population of more than 16,000, of which there are only 8,100 in the township. In addition, there are several small townships scattered within dozens of miles around, and it will not be possible to send troops there for a while. occupied."

Zhao Wuxi also sighed: "Indeed, we can't rashly divide our troops. Because even the city is not stable. We are a strange force from outside. Although we easily captured the city, we couldn't get the Wei people. support. The resistance was never extinguished, it was just buried deep in the ground. Maybe a spark could ignite.”

"All the guards of the Wei Kingdom have been captured, and the Zhen Clan has also surrendered. They are a small family, and they naturally dare not resist when they hear that the Jin army is approaching. But in fact, even if they received a message from us. According to the news, the Jin army will not arrive until half a decade at the earliest. After such a long time, the Zhen family and the people in the city will definitely find that we are just bluffing. It is inevitable that other thoughts will arise, so this play has to continue. down."

He got up and tidied up his appearance, and also helped Zhang Meng to straighten the front of his clothes, saying: "In this case, it is enough to dispose of the guards, clans, and merchants outside the door. It is not too late to call them in quickly. , and act according to the plan we made earlier."

...

Zhen Zhongxun, the patriarch of the Zhen clan, is the backbone of the local clans of all sizes and surrendered to the "Jin Army" today. And he took the initiative to follow Feng Lin to Yi Temple to discuss matters, and he was also the head of the board.

Behind more than a dozen Wei Guoliang, Zhen's Xiaozong. Even the merchants are talking about it in fear. The Central Plains have been peaceful for many years, and they have never encountered such a thing in their lives.

But Zhen Zhongxun, who has been to Puyang and Taoqiu, is not too panicked. He has a lot of knowledge and information, and knows that the Jin State's attack and defense this time is not because of the desire to seize the city and occupy the land, but to compete with Qi State for hegemony. The ownership of Wei is very important. , Wei Hou will change his camp only when he is beaten.

So he thought. Although Zhenyi was inexplicably breached by this Jin army, as long as the Weihou of Puyang agreed to negotiate with the Jin state. Then it will soon be back under the rule of Wei.

The only thing to worry about is that the occupier's commander-in-chief must be persuaded to restrain his pawns. If so, they are willing to pay a little price.

Then, everyone waits for peace to come, and then it is best to go back to their own homes.

At this moment, the door of the hall opened, and under the call of Feng Rin, everyone sorted out their appearance, restrained their panic, and then led by Zhen Zhongxun, lined up to enter.

The hall was also full of soldiers with swords, and there was even a row of armored soldiers standing in the middle of the main seat where they and the young brigade commander were sitting. , a gorgeous copper-skin armor is so mighty, standing beside him is a refined and elegant scribe.

Everyone saluted tremblingly, the scribes returned the salute, and the brigade commander just looked at them coldly and nodded slightly.

"I don't know which gentleman of the Jin country the commander is?" Zhen Zhongxun stood up and asked carefully, knowing the background of the other party was the most important thing. At a young age, he was able to lead the Jin forward to attack the city and destroy the city, at least after the doctor, or even Possibly Qingzi.

The young brigade commander didn't answer immediately, he just asked the elders and Zhen Zhongxun, who had a higher status, to sit.

Then he opened his mouth and said, "Yu is a gentleman of the Zhao family, from Wendi."

"Son of Doctor Wen Zhao Luo?" Zhen Zhongxun and the rest looked at each other, indeed, it was said that the crossbowmen standing on the wall spoke Wen dialect.

Zhao Wuxi didn't answer anymore, everyone thought he had acquiesced, and Zhang Mengtan next to him took over and said: "We are the pioneers of Jin State, and were dispatched by the Central Military Commissioner to capture Zhendi. They arrived one after another. Both Jin and Wei belonged to the Zongmeng League surnamed Ji, and the war was like brothers fighting each other. It would be bad to accidentally hurt the people of the clan. Therefore, the brigade commander needs your cooperation. To appease the people, and then send envoys to recruit the surrounding towns and towns, and put them under our rule for temporary management, how about it?”

Zhen Zhongxun and the others did not dare to say anything. They were only willing to maintain the status quo. How could they take the initiative to help the occupiers? At this moment, it was Zhao Wuxi who slapped the sword on the table with a snap, which startled them.

Wu Xie stood up and sighed: "Don't hide it from all of you, the six families of Jin now govern independently, and there are even servants and soldiers of the Rong and Di, so the army is not good and bad, and the military discipline is not good, this is something that the princes all know. ."

What he said was true. The military discipline of the Jin army abroad has always been worrying, and there have been more than one or two incidents of looting enemy countries and even sneaking up on allied cities. In the past, when Duke Wen of Jin broke down Cao, Wei Wei openly harassed Cao's doctor and set fire to his mansion. At the meeting of Pingqiu, when 4,000 soldiers of Jin gathered in the territory of Wei, allies in the state of Jin, the sheep tongue fish acted as Sima, and also did not enforce military discipline. , condoning the looting of soldiers is chilling.

When he said this~lightnovelpub.net~ everyone in Zhendi couldn't help but get worried. Where the teacher is, thorns will grow, and after the army, there will be a fierce year.

Wu Xie patted his chest and assured: "But, under my rule, I can guarantee that the soldiers will not violate your clan or property, and everyone will be safe. But if you don't cooperate, I will not be able to wait until the Jin army arrives one after another. To protect you and the others, there is no way to guarantee the safety of the townships that have not yet returned..."

These words are considered to be considered for them, but in fact they are full of threats.

Zhen Zhongxun and others were a little panicked. This is really not a joke. They also have a lot of industries outside the city. If the passing Jin army is really destroyed, the loss will be immeasurable. Now that the brigade commander in front of him has promised to rule with gentleness, it is not impossible to hand over the clan soldiers and actively cooperate with him to appease the hearts of the people.

So everyone bowed down and said, "We are willing to follow the gentleman's tail and help the gentleman to appease the hearts of the people!" (To be continued)
