Chapter 150 The Recalcitrance of the Gentlemen

A few days later, Xiao Lan personally led an army of [-] troops to Licheng. Although he had expected it, he couldn't help but gasp for it.

The small Licheng County is even taller than Qijun County. There are many armored soldiers on the top of the city, each in leather armor. Looking at the posture, if Xiao Lan hadn't defeated the official army and obtained regular armor , I am afraid that the equipment of the soldiers of the Taiping Army is not as good as the private soldiers of these gentry families?

With money and food and people, the emperor of the earth, Xiao Lan has seen the strength of the gentry.But Xiao Lan will not have any fear, because he believes that in front of the power of the people, all reactionaries are paper tigers.

"Is the person here Xiao Lan, Generalissimo of Pingtian?" Seeing that the Taiping Army's military power is extraordinary, Tian Xinxin on the top of the city can't help but feel a little flustered. He was very calm, at the head of the city, condescending, and said respectfully: "It's been a long time since I've seen the marshal's name, and I'm here today, I don't know what's your business?"

"Ha!" Xiao Landang even let out a chuckle: "Could it be that Patriarch Tian doesn't know what this commander wants to do? Now that Qingzhou is in my hands, and the heavenly army is overwhelming, don't you guys still want to be overwhelmed and stubbornly resist?"

"It's not because we resisted, but because the Marshal didn't give us a way to survive!" Tian Xin said loudly, "As long as the Marshal agrees, he won't plunder the rich families or grab our land, we are willing to open the city and surrender. Submit to Marshal, and harvest in summer in the coming day, my Tian family is willing to offer three thousand stones of grain and grass to relieve Marshal's worries."

Good guy, I just want to ask for three thousand shi of grain and grass. These nobles are much richer than I imagined. However, who is Xiao Lan, how could he change his original intention just for the mere three thousand shi of grain?At that moment, he snorted coldly: "It seems that Patriarch Tian intends to resist to the end."

Tian Dao said, "It's clear that the Marshal is deceiving people too much, and wants to grab the land left by our ancestors by force. How is this behavior different from that of the Yellow Turban Bandits back then?"

"Really?" Xiao Lan said calmly: "According to my investigation, your Tian family only had less than a hundred fields ten years ago, but now it has tens of thousands of fields. Please tell me, the head of the Tian family, that your Tian family How do you make money in a proper way, and in just ten years, you have such a scale?"

Hearing this, Tian Xin couldn't help but frown, and cold sweat dripped unconsciously on his forehead. As the head of the family, he knew very well how the Tian family made money in a proper way, colluded with the government, and plundered by force... Anyway, the matter of oppressing the people, His Tian family didn't have to do less.

Xiao Lan said in a deep voice: "It seems that the Tian family leader is reflecting on himself. Very good. I will give you two days to think about it. If you are not willing to surrender, then you can compete on the battlefield!" After that, he Turn around and leave, no more words.

There are some words, there is no need to say more, what he has to do is to kill the other party!
The army set up camp under the city. It was night, and before Zhou Cang and Liao Hua asked for advice, Xiao Lan ordered the soldiers of the Taiping Army to summon the common people and tenants in Licheng County.Most of these families have strong men taken away by the Tian family to form the current private soldiers, leaving only some old and weak women and children, but these people are also Xiao Lan's sure-fire way to win.

After receiving the order from the Taiping Army, on the second day, many people from Licheng County gathered in an endless stream, just because Xiao Lan's comprehensive implementation of the policy of attacking local tyrants and dividing the land in Qingzhou has been approved by the people of Qingzhou. In the era when people depend on food, owning a piece of land of their own is the ultimate dream of every common people, and Xiao Lan is the person who can make their dreams come true, so Xiao Lan easily got the support of the common people!

In less than half a day, there were no less than 6 or [-] people gathered in the city of Li. It was so dark that the Tian family and other nobles were frightened. Tian Xin was no exception, but he still insisted: "Xiao Lan , you forcibly confiscated our land, which is against the elites of the whole world, against the imperial court."

"Nonsense!" Xiao Lan yelled coldly: "What I have done is a rebellion, and I am afraid of going against the court? You will not be out of your mind!"

Tian Xin and the others were speechless for a while.But immediately, they comforted themselves that Licheng had resisted the invasion of tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans, and now there were 5 people defending it, and it was expected that the Taiping Army would not be able to break through the city.

Besides, they have already sent spies to ask for help from the outside world. I believe that the imperial court will send a large army to suppress these rebels in a short time!
Well, it turns out that they were really too whimsical, because at this time, the Han court is also in full swing?

The eighteenth princes' alliance came to attack, Dong Zhuo was shocked, and naturally he was busy mobilizing troops to resist, and dispatched Li Su and Hua Xiong to lead troops to guard Sishui Pass.

Sun Jian is known as a fierce tiger, and he is very brave. Even in the face of Hua Xiong, he still won a game first. Of course, there was also a conflict within Dong Zhuojun, which allowed him to take advantage of it.

Although Na Huaxiong was the guard of Sishui Pass, there was Li Su, the warlord above him, and there were many conflicts between the two sides.

Besides, since Nalu Bu came to Dong Zhuo's command and became Dong Zhuo's adoptive son, his status has been rising steadily, which has caused dissatisfaction among many Xiliang soldiers.However, due to Dong Zhuo's face and Lu Bu's bravery, they were just too angry to speak out.

But this Li Su is different, although relying on the merits of instigating Lu Bu's rebellion, and keeping this thigh, he is also doing well under Dong Zhuo's command.However, the Xiliang soldiers themselves were very unhappy with him, Li Su, and now with the addition of Lu Bu's relationship, the two sides were even more conflicted.

But this time, Li Su and Hua Xiong guarded Sishui Pass together, and this conflict naturally broke out. The discord between the two sides gave Sun Jian the opportunity to easily defeat Hua Xiong, making Hua Xiong He had to return to Sishui Pass and hang up the free card.

But when Sun Jian was in a good situation and was looking for an opportunity to take Sishuiguan in one fell swoop, he suddenly found that the army's food and grass were not enough, and the food and grass behind were not brought in, and the most important thing was that this Somehow, Hua Xiong found out about the news.Hua Xiong immediately made a decisive decision, spread the news without hesitation, and at the same time sent troops to attack Sun Jian's camp.

When Hua Xiong came to him, Sun Jian had no choice but to hide it even if he wanted to. The morale of the army was instantly confused, and he was killed and defeated, and fled in a hurry.On the way to escape, in order to save his own life, Zu Mao deliberately led Sun Jian's pursuers away, but Hua Xiong beheaded him on the spot!

Sun Jian led Cheng Pu and Han Dang back to the camp of the Suanzao allied army angrily, but saw a group of princes having a party and banquet, among them was Yuan Shu who supervised the allied army's food and grass, and Han Dang shouted loudly : "Yuan Shu's thief, take your life!" A big knife with a cold light, went straight to Yuan Shu and chopped it off!
"Don't hurt my lord!" Seeing that Yuan Shu was about to be killed by this sudden blow, at the very moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside Yuan Shu, with a three-pointed and two-edged knife in his hand, making a bold move, blocking Han Dang's big knife. But it was Ji Ling, the number one general under Yuan Shu.

The two Dang even fought together, each showing their unique skills, the battle was so fierce that the princes subconsciously stepped back a few steps to avoid being hurt by Han Dang and Ji Ling.

It took a long time for Yuan Shu to react, thinking that he almost died under Han Dang's sword, he couldn't help but yelled: "Sun Jian, what are you doing, you dare to connive at your subordinates' murder, do you really think that I, Yuan Shu, are easy to bully? ?!"

"Good to bully?" Sun Jian laughed a little maniacally, and then drew out the long sword around his waist without hesitation, full of murderous aura, and strode towards Yuan Shu: "Yuan Shu, you thief, how dare you say that?" In other words, if you hadn't dragged the army's food and grass, how could I have been defeated by Hua Xiong due to lack of food, and I lost troops and generals!"

"What?!" Hearing this, the princes couldn't help being shocked, and they all looked at Yuan Shu suspiciously.If this is the case, then Yuan Shu is really going too far, and it is no wonder that Sun Jian is so furious.

"There is such a thing?" Yuan Shu exclaimed pretending to be surprised, but there was a wry smile in his heart.

He was the one who delayed the supply of supplies. Seeing that Sun Jian was about to win the Sishui Pass, and was about to make a great contribution to the Allied forces, Yuan Shu felt jealous of Sun Jian.In order to prevent Sun Jian from winning, he deducted Sun Jian's food and grass, intending to teach him a small lesson.

However, what even he didn't expect was that he just wanted to teach Sun Jian a little lesson, but he caused such a big trouble.Now there is no other way. After all, there is no regret medicine in the world, so we can only kill him and deny it. Anyway, there are so many people around. As long as he refuses to admit it, Sun Jian will not dare to do anything to him.

"Don't you know about Gonglu?" Yuan Shao asked suspiciously. Even if he was killed, he would not believe that Yuan Shu didn't know about this matter. This matter is too similar to Yuan Shu's style.But now there is no way, no matter how upset he is, he must suppress this matter, and Sun Jian cannot kill Yuan Shu, otherwise the alliance will collapse, and by then, the leader of the alliance will become a bare-bones commander.

"That's true." Yuan Shu said hastily: "I'm feeling a little uncomfortable these days, so I left the food and grass matters to my subordinates, but I didn't expect this person to be so dereliction of duty. Don't worry, General Sun. I will definitely give you an explanation."

"You..." Sun Jian was impatient. This kind of thing is unbelievable. It is obvious that Yuan Shu just found someone to take the place of the dead ghost. How could Sun Jian be reconciled if he wanted to get away with it like this.

"Report..." But at this moment, a messenger suddenly rushed in and shouted at all the princes: "Report to the lord, Hua Xiong outside the city is here to challenge!"
