Chapter 114 Attacking Linzi ([-])

above the lobby.

At this time, only Xu He was standing alone.

In fact, he is a very good drinker, and he just pretended to be drunk before.

The only bit of alcohol smell now has been completely wiped away by the shock just now.

Xu He, who was completely awake, was full of anger, but at the same time, he was also somewhat regretful.

Originally, he wanted to use the excuse of being drunk to arrange for Wang Zhengjing to accompany him in the last seat, so as to let out the anger of being belittled by him that day.

I have also thought about Wang Zheng's many reactions, but I never expected that it would lead to the current situation.

Wanting to embarrass others, the result is now the most embarrassing.
Instead, it was Xu He.

Although he was extremely angry in his heart, his stomach was full of cursing at Wang Zheng.

just
Looking around, facing the fierce eyes of a group of people, Xu He got angry, but he didn't dare to explode completely.

Since it was a banquet, most of Xu He's soldiers stayed outside the door for the sake of relaxing the atmosphere and following other people's wishes.

Therefore, when Xu He walked to the door to greet Wang Zheng, he surveyed the surrounding area at this time, but he was already surrounded by the other party's troops.

Several of the faces were impressive to Xu He, and they were very impressive.

It was these people who followed Wang Zheng to charge into battle that day, and with a thunderous blow, they completely smashed Dong Lin's army into pieces.

These people are quite courageous.

Yu Ban
Out of the corner of the eye, he caught a glimpse of the big man on the left, who was smiling but not smiling, which made Xu He even more flustered.

When he saw this person in Guangrao that day, Xu He couldn't remember his name for the first time in many years.

Today I don't know if it was in a hurry, but I suddenly recalled it.

The ban!

In the third year of Zhongping, the opponent fought against his own Yellow Turban Army under Bao Xin's command.

In the battle of Mount Tai, Xu He knew very well that he was extremely brave.

Now they are less than ten steps away from each other, if the other party violently murders, their own family will definitely not be spared!

So even though Xu He had the same killing intent churning in his heart, he still hesitated again and again, throwing the mouse with caution.

He dare not turn against Wang Zheng now.

otherwise
The first blood spattered on the spot was probably himself.

Even though most of the city is now occupied by their own Taiping Army, it is difficult to put out fires that are far away.

Just like the soldiers at the door, they also found the atmosphere strange now, and wanted to come up to defend themselves, but they were separated by a group of people.

After thinking about it, Xu He's complexion was cloudy for a while, and then he stared at Wang Zheng fiercely, and said slowly:
"Wang Zheng, do you know what you are doing?"

"Xu Shuai prepared good dishes."

Wang Zheng didn't answer, just casually glanced at the paint case, and then sniffed:

"Well, the wine has a strong aroma. It seems that this wine is not bad."

"Wang Zheng, you have to behave properly!"

Xu He warned again, his voice became extremely cold.

If the other party insisted on dishonoring him, then his life would be lost, and Xu He also decided to die with the other party.

He dared to rebel many times, and his life was hung by a thread countless times in his life. There is still some bravery in this.

"Size."

Wang Zheng tapped his finger on the desk lightly, seeing that the other party was really anxious, so he smiled.

He slapped his forehead and suddenly realized: "Oh, it's the boy Meng Lang."

"I was wondering what Xu Shuai was doing standing there all this time?"

"It's because I've taken up too many seats, and I don't know how to reserve some for Xu Shuai."

As he spoke, Wang Zheng slightly moved his buttocks, waved his hands and said with a smile, "Xu Shuai, come, you and I will sit together."

"As for re-serving the dishes, there is no need. We gathered here to discuss how to capture Linzi."

This reminded Xu He.

Looking at General Tiangong, who is sitting relaxed and has a somewhat immature face, he has a calm and domineering attitude that does not match his age.

Xu He sighed.

Yes, Linzi is still to be captured.

If you really meet each other with swordsmen, I am afraid that the good situation will be completely destroyed
Forget it, how can I have the same knowledge as this arrogant and ignorant Lizi?
After much deliberation, Xu He finally gave up his original idea.

He originally planned to arrange for soldiers to kill Wang Zheng and his party as soon as he got away!

A small leak will sink a great ship!
While secretly persuading himself, Xu He forced an unnatural smile and walked forward.

At this time, everyone who was shocked by the scene just now saw that Xu and the handsome Qu were almost on the neck by Wang Zheng, and they finally endured it.
The eyes looking at Xu He suddenly lost a lot of things.

That is the respect and fear that have always existed before.

This was also noticed by Xu He.

He sighed secretly.

No matter how.

Wang Zheng made his debut for the first time, not only did he lose face, but he also made a head start and showed off his prestige.

Sitting on the collapse, Wang Zheng is on the left, and Xu He is on the right.

Wu Sheng and the others stood solemnly on both sides of the main seat, while defending the king's government, they also faintly threatened Xu He.

Xu He didn't seem to realize that he was also a sophisticated person who had seen too many storms.

The ability to do things by oneself has also been practiced long ago.

He gave a brief signal, and soon a group of singing girls came to the field, singing gracefully, and the atmosphere seemed to be heated up again.

A group of guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

After drinking for three rounds again, after the embarrassment caused by the previous episode eased, under Wang Zheng's suggestion again, everyone put down their wine glasses unanimously and discussed the topic.

How to attack Linzi.

This seems to be just a topic, but in fact the content is very broad.

Linzi is a big city, even facing the north of Xi'an County, there are only three walls.

Is it that everyone joins forces to attack one place, or is it attacking three walls at the same time?

And no matter how it is sent, how should the benefits be distributed?

If these discussions are not clear, there will be no cooperation at all.

At the same time, Wang Zheng and Xu He ignored the covenant that "the one who enters Linzi first will be the lord of Qi County".

This moment, that moment.

At that time, both of them were harboring ulterior motives, hoping that the other side would be lured to attack Linzi first, attracting the main force of the city defense, while the other side took the opportunity to pick peaches.

Now the two chose to attack from the north, knowing that the other side was not fooled.

Naturally, I will not mention it.

Of course, only these two people on the court knew that Linzi was a tough nut to crack.

Others, on the other hand, are blindly optimistic because of ignorance.

There are precedents for Xu He and Wang Zheng's glorious victories, especially Wang Zheng's only relying on "Zhang Jiao's reincarnation" to cause such a big battle.

What everyone present regretted the most at this time was that it was too late.

What I care most about is the distribution of benefits after the siege.

No one thinks that Linzi is actually quite difficult to break through.

Especially now that these seven or eight forces together have basically gathered all the civilian armed forces in Qingzhou.

In terms of young and strong alone, it costs nearly one hundred thousand
If you add the refugees and vassals, there are nearly 40 people, which really exceeds the scale of the last Qingzhou uprising.

It really gave them a lot of confidence.

Even if the officers and soldiers have three heads and six arms, just the number of people will pile them up to death!
For example, Chen Jiao, the leader of the South China Army, smiled with alcohol and said:

"Xu Xuan is just a clown, what's the point?"

"Xu Shuai and General Wang are brilliant and powerful, and they even broke the official army. This time must be no exception."

"Two of you are leading an army to attack, and we will join forces to fight together. Taking Linzi is as easy as pie."

Hearing this, Wang Zheng glanced at the other party with a smile.

Grandson, do you still want me to lead the battle for you?

Hearing this, Xu He shook his head and said solemnly: "Everyone, Linzi is not comparable to an ordinary city."

After the last failure, Sima Ju lurks in Linzi City, and spends money to get an official, and has already informed Xu He of the truth in the city.

As Xu He chatted, except for Wang Zheng's complexion unchanged, but secretly corresponding to his own information before and after the evidence, the expressions of the others became uglier and uglier.

In the end, Xu He expressed the point that everyone was most concerned about.

"According to my knowledge, the current total army strength in Linzi city should exceed ten thousand!"

what?
Over ten thousand officers and soldiers? !

Everyone's breath was suffocated when they heard this.

Seeing this scene, Wang Zheng secretly shook his head, and then added something.

It's not to deliberately undermine everyone's self-confidence, but because he hopes that this group of people will share the damage needed for his own siege, so he wants everyone to understand the situation clearly and not think too much about unnecessary things.

Thinking about how to spend 500 million before winning the lottery?
"Maybe more than that." Wang Zheng said: "Everyone, Linzi is the capital of Qingzhou."

"Let's imagine, how many wealthy landlords and noble families are there?"

"These people's industries are all over the state, and they have a lot of wealth. How many servants, equipment, weapons, and even bows and crossbows will they have?"

"These people know best. If we break through Linzi, everything they have now will be targeted and taken away by us."

"So, when it comes to a critical moment, these people will not only use all their strength to help Xu Xuan defend the city, but they will not be stingy with money at that time."

"Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man!"

"At that time, the morale will be greatly boosted, and the city's defense strength will be greatly improved."

"Especially." At this point, Wang Zheng paused, looked around the crowd and reminded: "The few salt merchants in Qingzhou, most of their wealth and personnel are also in Linzi."

"With this force alone, I'm afraid there will be more than 2000 more people."

Zhang Rao reminded Wang Zheng of this point.

In later generations, starting from the Sui Dynasty, there were always private salt dealers among the civil rebel forces in the past dynasties.

Salt smugglers, who are rich and have people, do things with their heads up, and they are not afraid of death. They are simply the best rebels.

Therefore, once every generation of private salt dealers rebelled, the impact would be not small.

Such as the yellow nest in the Tang Dynasty.

The scholar who said "When autumn comes and September [-]th, I will kill a hundred flowers when they bloom" was born in a family that has been selling salt for generations.

Another example is Qian Liu of the Five Dynasties.

The king of Wuyue, who sang the song "Flowers bloom on the Moshang, but they can return slowly" that will never be forgotten by the petty bourgeoisie of later generations, also came from a private salt dealer, so he has the foundation of his king's career.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, it was even more powerful.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is a once-in-a-thousand-year hero. Zhang Shicheng can be his lifelong enemy, which shows that he is also a hero.

This one is also a private salt dealer.

However, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were endless peasant uprisings, but there were basically no private salt dealers.

Because, in this era, there are no so-called private salt dealers at all.

In other words, there is, and it's just a small fight.

Because the salt and iron in the Eastern Han Dynasty were all privately run, unlike the state-run ones in later dynasties.

They were all sold by powerful landlords.

The government is only responsible for collecting taxes, and the key is not much.

Based on this alone, we can know how terrifying the local powerful forces in the Eastern Han Dynasty were.

Let the government center compromise on it.

This is a problem that Liu Xiu left for his descendants when he ascended the throne.

Therefore, the salt sellers of this era will not only not become part of the peasant uprising army, but will become its opposite.

The workers of these salt merchants, the servants, add up
Two thousand is a conservative figure.
"That is to say, in the worst case, we may have to face 1 people"

When the legendary immortal Chen Jiao heard this, his voice suddenly burst into tears.
