Chapter 146 Jiaozhou Leader
When the enemy met, they were extremely jealous, and it was a critical moment of life and death. It was rare for Qu Jing to get tough, and he led his subordinates to fight to the death without retreating. Moreover, they were in the city, so it was convenient for them to support, and their vision was even wider.

In addition, most of the soldiers near the city gate were Wu Ju's cronies. These people fought desperately. Although their individual ability was still not as good as that of Cheng Yaojin's elite soldiers, there was a saying that sad soldiers must win, and united will is a city.

Moreover, although Wu Ju is dead, Qu Jing is still there, Mu Li is still there, and their subordinates are still able to fight.

After the initial chaos, the panicked defenders gradually calmed down and started a tenacious counterattack.

Cheng Yaojin and others were crowded in the city gate, restricted by the space, they couldn't use it, they rushed for a certain distance, but they couldn't break in. Seeing that, the battle fell into a stalemate.

At this moment, suddenly at the east gate, the sky was full of flames, and the ground was shaken by shouts of killing.Both sides of the fight paused.

A bad premonition suddenly flashed in Qu Jing's heart.

Mu Li in the city also suddenly changed his face.

The big knife in his hand fell to the ground unconsciously.

But Cheng Yaojin and others suddenly became ecstatic.

Gao Xiang came to his senses and shouted: "The east gate is broken! Kill everyone, a lot of credit is right in front of you!"

"Kill, kill!"

Cheng Yaojin picked up an iron shield, raised the Xuanhua axe, and pushed forward.

In order to prevent the enemy from rushing in, most of the defenders in the city had countless spears in front of them. However, the power of the spears was crushed and crushed by the thick iron shield and Cheng Yaojin's brutal impact. Juran was knocked out of a gap by Cheng Yaojin abruptly.

Yuan Jun who followed Cheng Yaojin's morale soared, and some strong soldiers followed suit, carrying iron shields and rushing forward crazily.

They had wanted to do this a long time ago, but they just endured it because they didn't order it just now.

At this time, Cheng Yaojin's amazing soldiers really showed their ferocious fangs.

Super strong physical fitness, and a brave and ruthless nature in his bones. When used on the battlefield, its power is no less than that of a monster, and it jumps into the dying pack of wolves, even if the wolves are ferocious. There is only one way to collapse.

The direct impact of the war at the East Gate was that a large number of soldiers who were still resisting fled.

They are not fools either, the people blocking the gate of the city are already tenacious enough, now the east gate is broken again, if they don't run away, they don't know how they died.

Moreover, people cannot be resurrected after death. If Wu Ju is still there, there is nothing wrong with asking them to work hard.

No matter how capable and prestige Qu Jing is, he is not Wu Ju, how can he prevent the defenders from collapsing.

He could only watch helplessly as Cheng Yaojin led his soldiers on a rampage, tearing up the encirclement more and more.

The soldiers of Gao Xiang outside had grown impatient for a long time. Seeing the loose flow of people at the gate of the city, they all swarmed in, howling and rushing inside.

The garrison, which was collapsing, also disrupted the original formation of the area.

As more Yuan Yao's soldiers poured in, the soldiers on both sides fought in a chaotic mess, and a scuffle began.

At this time, Qu Jing, who was not reconciled to failure, wanted to gather the soldiers and fight back again, hoping to repel the soldiers who entered the city, but Mu Li flew over, grabbed Qu Jing, and headed towards the south gate. rush away.

Qu Jing's eyes were bloodshot, like a gambler who lost everything and only his pants left, and wanted to turn over the book with the last piece of cloth on his body. He struggled, roared, and growled: "Come on, kill! Let's go together!" , kill Yuan Yao's son!"

"Snapped!"

In the midst of the chaotic army, Mu Li simply shook Qu Jing's ear and shouted loudly: "Qu Jing, wake up! This is the end, if you don't take the opportunity to break out, do you want to pay the last soldier in our hands? !"

Qu Jing was stunned, he woke up from the red-eyed state, he touched his burning cheeks, with a mournful face, followed Mu Li without saying a word, and rushed towards the south gate with the rest of the remnant soldiers.

The last general also fled, and the will to resist of the Cangwu defenders suddenly collapsed. I don’t know which one took the lead, dropped the weapon, and knelt on the ground resigned to fate, then the second, the third, and finally, except In the center of the city, apart from the shouts of killing, the whole of Cangwu became quiet. As a result, the battle in the center of the city seemed extraordinarily terrifying and tragic.

That's right, it was tragic, because not only Wu Ju's family lived in the prefect's mansion in the center of the city, but also the thousand warriors he brought over from Jingzhou.

Although Wu Ju died, these people were in a panic, but after all, they were also elite soldiers who had fought a hundred battles, and they were deeply favored by Wu Ju. Therefore, when the city gate was broken, their first thought was not to escape, but to come to rescue Wu Ju's family .

It was here that these elite soldiers met Lai Gong who also came with his men.

Lai Gong's men, how could they be the opponents of these sharp warriors, they were killed in a short charge, but the number of these sharp warriors was still too small, although they defeated Lai Gong and successfully rushed into Wu Ju's mansion, however, was also surrounded by Yuan Yao who rushed over after hearing the news and brought heavy troops.

It was just because of the fierce resistance of these people that Yuan Yao organized several attacks, but they were repelled due to the terrain.

For a while, the two sides were deadlocked.In fact, Yuan Yao could completely annihilate these people in one fell swoop by relying on his superior force. However, due to the psychology of recruitment, Yuan Yao was still a little undecided.

To wipe out the sporadic resistance in the city, the generals also led their troops to completely encircle the prefect's mansion.

Yuan Yao stood in the front, opposite him, less than 300 meters away, was Wu Ju's mansion.

Outside the mansion, a large area was stained red with blood, and there were many corpses lying on the ground. Needless to say, these were Yuan Yao's failed soldiers who were damaged in his attack.

"My lord, I can't wait any longer. Cangwu's people are panicking now. If they can't calm down this last resistance quickly, things will change sooner or later."

Pang Tong's face was heavy. Although he respected these loyal and brave soldiers, compared with Yuan Yao's great cause, these people seemed insignificant.

Yuan Yao sighed, looked at Lai Gong who was on the side, and asked, "You have lived in Cangwu for a long time, do you know of any way to persuade them to surrender?"

Lai Gong hesitated for a while, but said truthfully: "These people are all Wu Ju's confidantes, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the dead of the Wu family. Except for Wu Ju, I am afraid there is no hope for them to surrender."

"Pity!"

Yuan Yao sighed: "It's a pity that such a loyal and brave warrior cannot be used by me!"

"These people have a will to die, and it's useless to persuade them. Why don't I send a thunderbolt car to fulfill them?"

Gan Ning on the side looked serious, looking at the tall Wu Mansion, his eyes flashed with respect.

Nodding his head with difficulty, Yuan Yao agreed with Gan Ning's idea.

The defense of this mansion is too strict, bombarding it with thunderbolt cars can avoid many unnecessary casualties.

However, when Gan Ning was about to turn around and transfer the Perak car, Yuan Yao hesitated again, called Gan Ning, and said, "Although Wu Ju and I are enemies, it has nothing to do with his family. You can send people to shout out to see if they can release Wu Ju's family members, I promise, I will never hurt them!"

Xue Zong, who was on the side, had been observing Yuan Yao's behavior to judge whether Yuan Yao was worthy of his own assistance. Hearing Yuan Yao's words, he nodded secretly in his heart.

Originally, he was a little worried that Yuan Yao might kill them all.In that way, although future troubles can be avoided forever, it also seems that Yuan Yao's heart is not broad enough.

And a narrow-minded monarch has limited achievements no matter how many advantages he has.

Yuan Yao's performance undoubtedly satisfied him.

In fact, when Yuan Yao said this, Xue Zong was not the only one who nodded secretly, even Xu Jing who was next to him also nodded secretly.Originally, he was not very willing to seek refuge with Yuan Yao.

Yuan Yao's words and deeds today made Ling Xu Jing make up his mind.Not to mention Yuan Yao's strength, but his mind is worthy of Xu Jing's favor.

Looking at the entire south, Liu Shang's generosity is unprecedented, not to mention unprecedented.

Everyone had their own thoughts, looked at a messenger silently, and walked cautiously towards Wu Ju's mansion.

For safety, this man was wearing thick armor and carrying a shield, and approached the steps of the gate step by step.

"Squeak!"

A gap suddenly appeared in the gate of Wu Mansion, which startled the messenger. Fortunately, only a soldier walked out of the gap, and did not launch an attack.

The soldier looked at Yuan Yao with hatred, also looked at the messenger, and shouted: "Didn't we say that there are only good men who die in battle, and there are no cowards who surrender!"

The messenger forced himself to calm down and shouted loudly: "Hey, you thieves have heard clearly. My lord is unparalleled in righteousness and righteousness. He said that the two armies are at war, and it is not your family's business. It is your business to resist, but dragging the prefect Wu Why did Wu Ju’s family die together? I advise you to let Wu Ju’s family go, my lord promises that I won’t hurt any of them!”

"Are you finished?"

The soldier said indifferently.

"It's over."

The messenger is alert.

"bump!"

The door was closed heavily, and after that, there was no more sound.The messenger was disheartened, so he could only run back in a hurry.

"Shiyuan, do you think they will listen?"

Yuan Yao was a little puzzled. With his good intentions, are these people really planning to burn everything together?
Thunderbolt is already on the way.

"It's hard to say, but my lord, I'd better wait. Anyway, the thunderbolt car is coming soon, and I don't care about the time."

Li Ji was also a little puzzled, but he still didn't understand the thoughts of ordinary soldiers.

"Roll, wheel, wheel!"

Thunderbolt carts were pushed up one by one, only waiting for Yuan Yao's order to break through the gate of Wu Mansion.

At this time, Yuan Yao's hand was also raised, but it didn't fall down for a long time.

Everyone held their breath and stared at Yuan Yao's right hand. They admired those warriors, but they also knew that it was impossible to let them go.

Yuan Yao was also struggling in his heart. After fighting for so long, this was the first time he encountered such a situation.

Even, in his heart, he was still a little envious of Wu Ju's death. Being able to have such an army in his life, even if he died, it would not be a pity.

"Squeak!"

Just when Yuan Yao made up his mind to send these warriors off, the gate of Wu Mansion slowly opened, and a group of women and children came out with pale faces and fear.

At the critical moment, those people released Wu Ju's family members.

Yuan Yao didn't make things difficult, someone led them to claim Wu Ju's body.

Without any scruples, Yuan Yao raised his hand again, but this time, he still didn't let it go.

It's not that I don't want to, but that I don't need it.The moment Wu Ju's family walked out of the house, a raging fire suddenly ignited.

Crackling flames shot up to Lao Gao, and a thick puff of smoke enveloped the entire Wu Mansion, and those thousand warriors, along with the fire, turned into fly ash.

The blazing flames reflected Yuan Yao's dejected face. It can be said that this battle was the last thing he wanted to fight, and he couldn't bear to fight it. Cruel battlefields never lack such warriors.

Yuan Yao sighed deeply, and ordered the people around him: "When the fire is extinguished, find their bones and bury them well!"

The surrounding soldiers should say yes loudly.

He looked solemnly at the raging fire that engulfed the entire Wu Mansion.This fire also announced that the land of Cangwu had officially changed its owner.

In just four days, the fortified city of Cangwu was breached. Although the defenders were caught off guard because of cooperation from inside and outside, the impact caused was still huge.

The first to be impacted were the nearby Yue people, who were used to the kind of large and small fighting in Jiaozhou. Everyone felt the cruelty of war for the first time.

Moreover, although the strength of Wu Ju in Cangwu is nothing more than a joke in the eyes of the Central Plains, he is extremely powerful in Jiaozhou. Especially, Wu Ju has been insisting on building Cangwu City for the purpose of giving Liu Biao will attack Jiaozhou to pave the way in the future, so Cangwu's city defense can be said to be extremely strong, no worse than Jiaozhi run by Shijia.

Many people are paying attention to the confrontation between Yuan Yao and Wu Ju. Many people are also speculating that this war will last for three months, six months, or one year. However, the shock caused by the unexpected result is also Extremely impactful.

Not to mention other places, even Shi Xie of Jiaozhi, when he heard the news that Cangwu City was broken, was also surprised that the chopsticks in his hand dropped, but he didn't notice.

Not to mention the warriors who have been clamoring to attack the South China Sea, their faces turned pale with fright.

However, after the fear is over, it is followed by overwhelming pressure.

Now that the South China Sea is broken, Wu Ju is dead, and Gao Xiang has also surrendered. In the entire Jiaozhou, except for the separatist party, Yuan Yao has no more targets to attack, it is unstoppable, the next one , and the last one, it must be his family no doubt.

Who told them that their scholar family occupied most of the counties in Jiaozhou, and who called Shi Xie the governor of Jiaozhou, the ruler of Jiaozhou in name.

As soon as the news of Wu Ju's death came, Shi Xie immediately summoned his brothers to come to the Governor's Mansion in Jiaozhi to discuss matters.

This time the discussion was completely a family meeting of Jiaozhou scholars. Shi Yi, Shi Kuang, Shi Wu, Shi Qi, Shi Wei and other scholars gathered together for two generations, especially Shi Yi, who is now the prefect of Hepu. Bear the brunt, the most important.

The news of Wu Ju's defeat was also transmitted from him first.

Shi Xie, who was the head of the family, arrived after everyone had arrived.

Say hello to your brothers and nephews.

Everyone in the scholar's family also hurriedly returned the gift.

When Shi Xie was at home, he was very dignified, even the lawless soldiers and soldiers were a little timid, so they all behaved well and sat rigidly.

He was afraid that Shi Xie would scold him because of his sitting posture.

But today's Shi Xie, how could he have the time to teach them a lesson? He just frowned, sat on the main seat, and asked in a deep voice: "Now that Yuan Yao has defeated Cangwu, the seven counties of Jiaozhou, except Zhancheng of District Company In addition, Liu Shang has one of the three points in Jiaozhou, which is a threat to our scholars."

Shi Wu was the most impatient, and said with anger on his face: "I said a long time ago that this brat is ambitious, and the eldest brother wants to teach him some rules. According to what I said before, everyone will work together to put this Yuan Yao away. Killed so hard that they couldn't find the north, how could they get to the point where they were defeated by him every single one!"

This sentence seems to have the suspicion of accusing Sang Huai, if it were someone else, I am afraid that he would have been angry, but Shi Xie, who knew his brother's temperament, smiled lightly, and took the initiative to admit: "This time, what the third brother said is reasonable. Who would have thought that Yuan Yao could quickly pacify the two places with less than [-] troops."

Shi Yi calmed down and said comfortingly, "I can't blame my elder brother. It's also because our Jiaozhou is remote, so we can't compare with the outstanding people in the Central Plains. If our Jiaozhou also produces a large number of talented people, why is this so?"

"Don't gossip, now that Wu Ju is dead and Gao Xiang has surrendered, there is no way we can retreat. The most urgent thing is to think about how to resist Liu's sharp siege weapon." Shi Wu shouted.

Now everyone in Jiaozhou knew about the thunderbolt car incident, and Shi Xie of course also received the news.

Especially in the battle in the South China Sea, Yuan Yao's thunderbolt chariot showed great power, and the area he killed couldn't even resist, and he just abandoned the city and fled. It wasn't just Jiaozhou that shocked, I'm afraid there were rumors in Jingnan.

This time, the elites of the family were specially summoned here, not so much to discuss how to attack Yuan Yao, but rather to discuss how to crack Yuan Yao's thunderbolt car.

Shi Yi thought for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "Although Yuan Yao's thunderbolt chariot is powerful, if you want to break through the city with the thunderbolt chariot alone, the small city is okay, but it is impossible to replace it with a strong city. This point, from the It can be seen from the situation of Cangwu that in the end, Yuan Yao succeeded in one fell swoop by relying on the strategy of cooperating with the inside and the outside. It can be seen that although this thunderbolt car is powerful, in the end, its power is limited. As long as we prepare more giant shields and rockets Just keep those Thunderbolt cars from approaching the city wall."

"In the end, defending will only give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of. It is still necessary to change from defense to offense, which is the right way."

As Shi Xie's eldest son, Shi Xie also added from the side.

"We can deepen and lengthen the fortifications outside the city. Moreover, our city is no better than Cangwu. In addition to the inner city, there is also an outer city. As long as the defense is proper, Yuan Yao's thunderbolt car can only be regarded as a threat, not enough. fatal."

Shi Kuang slowly added.

"It's better to be young!"

Seeing the fighting spirit of his juniors, Shi Xie felt relieved, stroked his beard, and watched the discussions with his nephews with a smile.

Seeing this, Shi Yi coughed and woke up everyone.

Only then did everyone realize that Shi Xie was a little embarrassed without saying a word.

Shi Xie didn't take it seriously, looked at his eldest son, and said with a smile: "You think, if Yuan Yao comes to attack, what should we do?"

The scholar thought for a while, then said in a deep voice, "Jiaozhou belongs to my scholar's family, Yuan Yao really dares to come here, my boy is willing to lead troops to conquer the enemy!"

Shi Wu was not reconciled, he jumped up against the case, and shouted: "Why should we wait for him to attack? Just as I said before, we will use all our troops and kill them directly. No matter how many soldiers Yuan Yao has, he still has more troops than us." No? Jiaozhou is originally owned by the elder brother. The elder brother only needs to climb up and shout, and countless Yueren warriors will follow the shadows of ants. Without us doing anything, the Yueren are all over the place, and Yuan Yao can be killed. Yuan Yao is exhausted. We are taking the opportunity to attack the South China Sea. In Cangwu and Wuzhou, Yuan Yao has no roots in Jiaozhou, but he is just duckweed without roots, let us slaughter him!"

Everyone was shocked, especially Shi Xie, who was even more startled. He waved his hands again and again, saying: "No, no, Yuan Yao was ordered by the emperor after all. If we have no reason to attack, how is it different from rebellious officials and thieves? The matter needs to be considered in the long run, if he does not come to attack us, we must not provoke him lightly."

"Think long-term, think long-term!"

Shi Wu stomped his feet, stood up, and said in a harsh voice: "Yuan Yao has already killed us at the door, so why be polite? I heard that today's day is in the hands of Cao Cao, that is the marionette. His words, Not even a fart, Big Brother Piansheng still thinks that he is the emperor, why did he ever treat you as a courtier?"

"shut up!"

Shi Xie's face turned red, obviously very angry.

Shi Yi also frowned, but he didn't open his mouth to criticize. Instead, he looked at Shi Xie and said in a deep voice: "The third brother is right, I came back from the Central Plains, and the troubled times in the Central Plains have arrived. If we are still old Honestly be that courtier, sooner or later you will be annexed, even if the elder brother is not willing to separatize the regime and become king, for the sake of our scholar family, you must ensure that you occupy the entire territory of Jiaozhou, so that you can live alone!"

"Yeah! Brother, I don't really want to rebel, I just want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. We also need capital. Now that Yuan Yao is watching, if we don't show our power, I'm afraid everyone will think we are easy to bully. Prestige is likely to plummet!"

Shi Xie struggled and looked at the people below. Although he didn't speak, his eyes showed a kind of desire, which was the desire for power.

Shi Xie sighed. He knew that it would be futile to oppose any more. Once one of these people couldn't help but provoke Yuan Yao, he would not be able to stay out of the matter. So he made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "In this case, you can go back to each other. Jurisdiction, gather people, I want to see if Yuan Yao is still so greedy after seizing the land of the two counties!"
