Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 328

Wei Kang was not good at military affairs, so he handed over the task of defending the city to Yang Fu and his cousin Jiang Xu.

This Jiang Xu is also a relatively well-known figure. He is Jiang Wei's uncle, and Jiang Wei was raised by him.Jiang Wei is now nine years old and is still being raised at his house!
Wei Kang had many subordinates, all of whom knew Liangzhou, Jiang Xu's younger brothers Jiang Yin, Zhao Ang, Yin Feng, Yao Qiong, Wu Xin, and Yang Fu's younger brothers Yang Mo and Yang Yue.There are also Li Jun and Wang Ling from Wudu, Liang Kuan from Anding, Zhao Qu and Pang Gong from Nan'an.

These people were all recruited by Wei Kang over the years, and they were all outstanding people from Liangzhou.Their abilities are not bad, but they are just ordinary talents.You must know that so many people fought against Ma Chao, and even seven people were killed when they besieged Ma Chao. Only Yang Fu survived, but he also suffered five serious injuries.

There are only three to 4000 soldiers in Jixian City. Although Yang Fu organized men to stand on the city wall, because the weather was too cold and the cold wind on the city was too strong, the soldiers were frozen.

Outside the city, Wei Rui looked at the soldiers on the city and immediately paid attention to them.He began to ask several generals to lead a team of soldiers, and each of them took turns to attack Ji County for half an hour. However, the offensive did not need to be too strong, just a bluff, and the most important thing was to lure the enemy to the city wall.

Keeping warm in this era generally relies on the fluff of livestock and beasts, and there is no cotton, so many people will not use soldiers in winter.But animal fur jackets are a luxury for soldiers, they simply can’t afford them, and Wei Kang can’t afford to equip them either. A fur jacket costs at least three thousand dollars, and the ring knife is five or six times more expensive. , Buying a leather jacket can equip three or four soldiers.Three or four thousand soldiers, all wearing fur jackets, would cost as much as 1000 million yuan. Even if Wei Kang spent all his family wealth, he could not afford so many fur jackets.

But Zhang Yi's soldiers were different. They each had a down jacket.After Zhang Yi arrived in Shouchun, he encouraged the people to raise poultry, including chickens, ducks and geese.Raising chickens, ducks and geese has several advantages. First, people have meat to eat; second, down can be made into winter clothes; third, it can prevent locust plagues; fourth, girls can also become laborers; It can promote handicrafts.

Over the past ten years, Zhang Yi has had countless chickens, ducks and geese. Every year, Zhang Yi can make hundreds of thousands of down jackets by harvesting these down.Each down jacket is carefully sewn, at least three or four catties of down are loaded, and then wooden armor is worn outside the down jacket, which is very suitable for fighting in winter.Although iron armor has stronger protection, it is too cold to wear in winter. Although wooden armor has weaker protection, it can block the cold wind.

For three days in a row, Wei Rui attacked Ji County back and forth like this. The soldiers in Ji County were restless. Although there were rotations, they often needed to go up the city wall.Such severe cold and heat reduced the endurance of the soldiers in Hebei County. Many people were infected with wind and cold, and because they were gathered together without ventilation, many soldiers were infected.

Seeing the soldiers in the city sneezing non-stop, Wei Rui knew the time had come.He immediately swung his army to attack the city, and all the generals immediately attacked the city cleanly.

The city wall in Hebei County is not high, so only a ladder is needed.Wei Rui didn't bring too many siege equipment, nor did he bring many siege equipment, only two or three.Even two or three of them were possible. With the cover of these two well railings and the cover of the crossbowmen around the well railings, the soldiers quickly attacked the city wall.

The defenders on the city, because of many diseases, reacted a little slower, and the soldiers under the city easily attacked the city wall.

The soldiers under Zhang Yi have always been on the city wall, and it is basically certain that the city is broken.This time was no exception, the soldiers in the city could not stop the bravery of Zhang Yi's soldiers, and they were quickly attacked into the city.

Yang Fu and others resisted desperately, but they were still unable to resist. In the end, the soldiers broke up and they were all arrested.

Wei Rui went into the city and met Wei Kang, Yang Fu, Yan Wen and others who had been arrested, and said to them: "Nowadays the world is in chaos, and people have a choice. I know you are for Cao Cao, but I will not kill you. I will not let you go to assist Cao Cao."

Yang Fu has a strong personality, and he said to Wei Rui: "Mr. Cao inherited the Han family, and you don't want to be loyal to the country, but come to help the rebels. I will not serve you!"

After Wei Rui heard this, he couldn't help laughing, "Cao Cao, as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, has indeed done a lot of things that are beneficial to the Han Dynasty. But he has also done many things that are not conducive to the Han Dynasty. Shidong Commandery, forced soldiers, and killed ministers. And now he is named Wei Gong, so that the prestige of the Han Dynasty does not exist, and it is not as great as you said!"

Yang Fu fell silent after hearing this.What Wei Rui said are all Cao Cao's shortcomings. If Cao Cao in the past few years was indeed very good, but Cao Cao, who has been named Duke Wei, has basically publicized with Liu Bei and others that "he is called Han Xiang, but he is actually a Han thief." "Not much more.

Yan Wen said righteously, "If Cao Gong hadn't assisted the Han family, how many people in this world would have become kings and hegemons."

Wei Rui smiled coldly, "The Han Dynasty has already existed in name only. Cao Cao just let the Han Dynasty delay for a while. He is the Duke of Wei now, and he will definitely be the King of Wei in the future. It will be much easier to usurp the Han Dynasty later."

"It's full of nonsense!" Yan Wen said disdainfully.

"It's nonsense, if there is no such nonsense speculation, why did he become Duke Wei?" Wei Rui asked back.

"I don't know how you plan to treat us?" Wei Kang interrupted their conversation. He knew about Cao Cao's appointment as Duke Wei, but he couldn't explain it clearly.

Wei Rui said: "I will send you and your relatives to Shouchun. This is how we treat everyone. After you arrive in Shouchun, you will be re-evaluated by the Academy of Arts and Sciences before deciding whether you can continue. Become an official. If you can't be an official, you will retire in Shouchun!"

Wei Kang nodded, "I would also like to thank the general for not killing me."

"Our army has no habit of slaughtering prisoners of war. After you arrive in Shouchun, take a good look at the life there! Then you will know who is the master. To be honest, we have long since given up any illusions in the Han Dynasty. If it wasn't for my lord not wanting to bear the infamy, we would have already conquered the Central Plains in the north."

Wei Rui sent more than a dozen people and hundreds of their relatives to Wudu, passed through Hanzhong to Xiangyang, and then sent them along the Han River and Jiang River to Shouchun.

Wei Rui took Ji County here, and immediately sent someone to pick up Li Hongzhang, so that Li Hongzhang would come to Ji County to preside over the overall situation of Liangzhou.Then Wei Rui led the army north to Xianqin and Lueyang to support Long County.Cao Cao led his troops into Hanyang County. Yan Yan and others stationed troops with Han Sui at Jieting and confronted Cao Cao.
