Chapter 151 The Power of the People

However, after Hua Xiong defeated Sun Jian, the morale of the army was high, and he disdained the allied forces of the Eighteenth Route. Coupled with Li Su's intentional or unintentional run-off, he immediately led [-] troops to the Allied tents to call for battle.

"Would you like to go out with me to have a look?" Hearing the military order, Yuan Shao hurriedly said, and he sighed in his heart: Hua Xiong came here by coincidence, and he just happened to cover this matter first.

All the princes nodded in agreement, and Sun Jian was annoyed for a while, but there was nothing he could do. Who made him outnumbered?I had no choice but to let this matter go for the time being, and go out to fight with all the princes.

"Sun Wentai, do you still want your head?" Outside the Allied tent, Hua Xiong shouted loudly holding a big knife, and on top of the knife was impressively holding Sun Jian's helmet.

"Sun Wentai, do you still want your head?" The three thousand Xiliang soldiers behind Hua Xiong also shouted in unison, and the shouts were full of provocations.

On the city wall, everyone looked at Sun Jian in unison, with an expression of watching the show on their faces.Not to mention a bloody man like Sun Jian, even an ordinary person would not be able to stand being provoked like this.

However, to everyone's surprise, although Sun Jian's face was a little ugly, he had no intention of going down to fight at all!
Although he, Sun Jian, is impulsive, he is not a fool. Hua Xiong is indeed powerful. In his current state, if he continues to fight, he is simply courting death.

Moreover, after Yuan Shu's incident, he was also a little cold-hearted, and he didn't want to be such an early bird anymore. Whoever wants to deal with Hua Xiong will go, anyway, he won't go.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao quickly shouted and asked: "Who wants to fight Hua Xiong?!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone immediately focused their attention on Yuan Shu, the meaning was very clear, since you have dealt with Sun Jian, let's also deal with Hua Xiong outside!
Seeing this, Yuan Shu was also annoyed for a while, but he had no choice but to wink at a general beside him.

"The last general is willing to fight." The general understood it, and quickly stood up!

Yuan Shu immediately laughed and said, "This is my general Chen Lan, who is brave enough to kill Hua Xiong!"

That's right, it's Chen Lan. Originally, this suit should belong to Yu She's children's shoes, but unfortunately, he met Xiao Lan and received a lunch box in advance, so he had to change Chen Lan, the unlucky bastard, to make a temporary guest appearance.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao nodded in satisfaction. Anyway, no matter what, someone is willing to fight: "Very good, the lord of the alliance will order you to fight Hua Xiong!"

"No!" Chen Lan responded, and immediately went out to fight Hua Xiong.

However, just when Yuan Shu was triumphant and thought that his general would win the battle and behead Hua Xiong, the messenger gave him a heavy blow:
In just one round, Chen Lan was beheaded by Hua Xiong.

Hearing this letter, Yuan Shu spit out a mouthful of blood, secretly cursing Chen Lan as a waste!

Yuan Shao frowned and said, "Who else is willing to fight Hua Xiong and win this first prize?" While speaking, he cast his eyes on his hard-core younger brother Han Fu.

Han Fu understood, and immediately responded, "I have General Pan Feng, who can kill Hua Xiong!"

Pan Feng went away with a big ax in hand, but Hua Xiong chopped him off his horse before he could make three moves. Now, all the princes were considered Spartans, and even the way they looked at Sun Jian changed a little.

None of them thought that Hua Xiong would be so powerful, that the general of the allied army would not be able to hold out for three rounds in his hands.Although Sun Jian was defeated, he still managed to save his life in Hua Xiong's hands. Compared with those generals who were killed, it was considered rare.

"Who else is willing to fight!" Yuan Shao shouted eagerly.But this time, no one is willing to respond, Hua Xiong is so powerful, no one wants to let his own people die.

"Alas! It's a pity that my general Yan Liangwen Chou is not here, otherwise why would you be afraid of Hua Xiong." Seeing that Hua Xiong was still shouting, but none of their allies were willing to fight, Yuan Shao sighed helplessly.

Hearing this, many princes cast contemptuous glances at Yuan Shao.

With Yuan Shao's character, how could he not bring his general with him? Yuan Shao obviously saw that Hua Xiong was powerful, and worried that his general would not be his opponent and would be injured. As for Yan Liang, Wen Chou, maybe How about hiding in the camp now?

Even the leader of the alliance is unwilling to contribute, let alone other princes. No one is willing to send their generals to fight again. After all, if there is any damage, it is not worth it.

Outside, Hua Xiong was still raising his voice, and the [-] princes were too busy to take care of themselves. How could they care about the changes in Qingzhou?

They waited and waited, but did not wait for reinforcements from the outside. In the end, a large number of people surrounded the city. This was not all. The key was that many of them were family members of the private soldiers in the city. They just shouted the names of their family members, but nothing happened. Soon, deserters began to appear among the gentry.

As long as one of these things starts, it will be like a flood that has broken through the dam, which cannot be stopped at all. Although the gentry continue to stop them, under the call of their families, there are still an endless stream of people fleeing privately.

One day, just one day, less than half of the [-] to [-] private soldiers gathered in the city remained, and their proficiency continued to decrease.

Xiao Lan had expected this for a long time, he didn't attack the city, he just asked the family members of those private soldiers to shout loudly, saying that when Marshal Xiao defeated the gentry and local tyrants in the city, his family would get as much land as he wanted, and the tax was so low , and improved grain varieties, etc...

The common people did not dare to rebel against the gentry, but with a leader and sufficient interests, it was different. With the call of many family members, soldiers from various villages threw their weapons and went down to the city.

Tian Xin and the rest of the gentry realized that the family soldiers like him were all young men drawn from the tenants' houses, but they all ran away after being shouted by the family members.

This day and night, Xiao Lan just sat firmly in the tent of the Chinese army, chatting, laughing and feasting with Zhou Cang and others, while watching the soldiers on the front receive deserters from the city and register them.

Busy and busy, until the next day, when Xiao Lan led his troops to the city again, he looked up and saw that the city was already empty. How could there be any gentry army of [-] to [-]?
There are nearly 2000 aristocratic families, and there are less than [-] clan members and loyalists left. Not only private soldiers, but even the servants and maids in the house have escaped.

So, with almost no bloodshed, Xiao Lan captured Licheng, where tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans could not do anything in the past, and almost wiped out the remaining gentry in Qingzhou.

As Zhou Cang and Liao Hua led the army into the city, many gentry clansmen including the Tian family were escorted out. When Tian Xin saw Xiao Lan, he threw himself down in front of Xiao Lan, crying with regret and shame on his face: "Marshal Xiao, the villain is guilty, the villain is willing to hand over all the land in the family, and I ask Marshal Xiao to forgive me."

When the other gentry saw this, they all followed suit. Immediately, more than 1000 people fell to their knees, shouting and begging, very miserable.

To this, Xiao Lan immediately responded with a cold snort, these gentry are too unscrupulous, they will fight if they can beat them, and they will surrender if they can’t beat them. Come to think of it, Xiao Lan doesn't have time to fight for world hegemony, so from the very beginning, he didn't intend to let these people go.

He rolled his eyes, waved his hand immediately, and said in a loud voice: "I don't care if I want to let you go. Under the Taiping Army, there was a Taiping Constitution. Whether he is innocent or not, we have to wait for the result of the public trial!"

Immediately, he said to the people: "Which of your family has been persecuted by these gentry clans, just say it, there is a constitution to judge their crimes, from now on, no one can persecute the people without reason, Even the soldiers and officials under this commander are the same, all laws and regulations are based on the Taiping Constitution!"

Hearing this, all the gentry were immediately horrified, but on the contrary, the common people cheered from the bottom of their hearts, and the sound spread for ten miles at once, so it was very lively...
