I’m The King Chapter 523: : People’s hearts are floating
Sitting in the lobby, looking at the noisy military officials below, Yan Shenghao's face was extremely gloomy. It has been three days since Gao Yuan arrived in Hejian County, but the Zhengdong Army has not launched an attack in the past three days. Just seeing the busy infantry dragging loads of wood into the camp, one can tell at a glance that they are building siege equipment. Ever since Ye Zhenbing came to the city, this kind of work has not stopped. God knows how many siege equipment they have built now.
Killing with a blunt knife, this is Yan Shenghao's feeling now, a knife is always hanging on his head, but it doesn't come down for a long time, it is more uncomfortable than chopping it down with a knife.
These useless officials are arguing, and no one can come up with any real ideas. This makes Yan Shenghao feel that he has really supported them for nothing all these years. Fortunately, he used to think that these people are some People with knowledge and knowledge, when the real disaster is imminent, but no one can stand up.
Standing up angrily, he wanted to walk away, but was startled by the sudden burst of exclamation and shouts outside. The sound of galloping horseshoes outside the city made the whole ground tremble slightly. Has the attack already begun? Yan Shenghao immediately turned around and ran out of the hall as fast as he could.
After bursts of hustle and bustle, there was nothing left. The Zhengdong army came quickly and left extremely fast. Everyone, you look at me, and I look at you. I don’t know why. Could it be that the other party just wants to scare the defenders in the city?
In astonishment, Yan Peng came running from outside, holding a stack of papers in his hand.
"What's going on?" Yan Shenghao asked sharply.
"Father, look, these things were shot in by Zhengdong Army just now." Yan Peng handed the stack of papers in his hand to Yan Shenghao. Knead it into a ball and hold it tightly in your hand, "Collect all these things immediately, and don't let any of them leak out."
Yan Peng's face was bitter, "It's too late, I have confiscated as much as possible, but the opponent shot too many into the city, and many of them have already fallen into the hands of soldiers."
"Strictly order the soldiers who pick up these papers to hand them in immediately, otherwise Wuhe will be killed!" Yan Shenghao shouted.
"Yes, I'll do it right away!" Yan Peng turned around and left quickly, looking at Yan Peng's back, Yan Shenghao's face was bitter, he already knew what the other party wanted to do, but there was nothing he could do, the only thing he could do now was It is to minimize the impact. Slamming the ball of paper in his hand to the ground, Yan Shenghao turned and walked towards the back hall.
The officials behind him looked at Yan Shenghao's back in amazement. A bold official stepped forward, picked up the paper ball, unfolded the crumpled paper, and looked at it carefully. His expression was also ugly.
The papers were passed one by one by the officials, and everyone's faces became extremely bright. This is a report to the soldiers. The content is extremely simple, all in plain language, and there is only one purpose, which is to incite the soldiers. They gave up resistance and surrendered to the Eastern Conquest Army.
The movement of the soldiers in the city finally calmed down under the strong suppression of the officers. Although Yan Shenghao, who had been paying attention to the movement in the city, felt exhausted, he did not feel sleepy. On top of his soft threat, most of the soldiers in the city were temporarily recruited, and most of them came from surrounding counties and townships. Now all these places have fallen into the hands of Zhengdong Army. They didn't have any other ideas, it was just a dream, but they didn't expect Gao Yuan to do such a great job.
Land, he actually divided the land according to the population of each household and issued a title deed. This is definitely something that can drive everyone crazy.
Although Yan Peng responded in a timely manner, it is impossible to confiscate all of them. This is like a spark that can start a prairie fire. Once a rumor starts, it is impossible to stop. Moreover, it is very likely that it is not a rumor. It is a real thing, because the same thing has already been implemented in Baokang and Yingkou, which were under the control of Zhengdong Army very early. These news have been widely spread in Hejian County very early, and other places in Hejian County A few landless peasants began to flee quietly to Baokang and Yingkou a few months ago, because it was widely rumored that as long as they went there, they could get their land.
Baokang is adjacent to the prairie, and it has always been the focus of the Huns' invasion before. There are many people and few lands, and those who went first did get the fields. Immediately order all counties to strengthen prevention and strictly control population outflow, I am afraid that some counties will be ten to seven or eight.
"The sheriff, the sheriff!" An official wearing a patrol uniform ran in hastily, his face full of panic.
"What happened again?" Yan Shenghao asked impatiently.
"Suddenly countless leaflets were pasted on the streets and alleys of the city, the contents of which were the same as those shot in the daytime." The official's face turned pale.
Yan Sheng stood up loudly, "There are spies in the city, how do you become an inspector? Find these people immediately, arrest them, and chop off their heads for public display."
The official's face turned bitter, "The county guard, the subordinates have limited manpower. Now everyone is busy tearing up these leaflets and trying not to let them wander out. There is really no manpower to hunt for spies again, and the subordinates are worried that once they are in A large-scale search and fight in the city will cause panic."
Yan Shenghao stared at the other party fiercely, and sat down for a long time. The other party was right, the city was already full of soldiers.
"You go down, step up inspections, there are not enough manpower, go to Sima, second soldiers, step up patrols, the most important thing now is to prevent these things from spreading."
This official had just left, but many officers came, and their responses were the same. They all found similar leaflets in the barracks, and the soldiers who had the leaflets in their hands had been arrested, but they did not If you dare to deal with it at will, the entire military camp is already like a powder keg. Everyone's emotions are stretched to the extreme. If you are not careful, you will be blown upside down. Every officer has a clear mind about the consequences of the camp roar. Chu.
Yan Shenghao looked up to the sky and sighed, unable to do anything.
**, and he struggled through with his long and short sighs.
The Eastern Expeditionary Army still hasn't launched the siege operation, only their cavalry has harassed several times, and every time the feathered arrows shot to the city are tied with similar leaflets, the defenders in the city have no intention to collect them , because from yesterday to now, I don’t know how many such things have wandered out, and then forcibly confiscated, it’s just deception.
Everyone knows that the city of Hejian County is already in dire straits. Maybe the East Army will launch an attack at this moment, and the next moment, they have already attacked the city.
After noon, people gathered in the camp of the East Army, and groups of people filed out of the camp. On the city wall, the alarm bell rang, and they squinted for a while because of excessive fatigue. Yan Shenghao had no choice but to run up the city wall again, commanding the soldiers to prepare to resist the opponent's attack.
But right away, the bows were stringed and the swords were unsheathed. The soldiers who came from a distance were not soldiers from the Eastern Army, but ordinary people in different clothes, old and young, male and female** *, there are thousands of people.
These people came to the city, just outside the range of the feather arrow, and stopped under the command of the officer of the Eastern Zheng Army. The next moment, the city immediately became lively.
"Da Niu, go home, we now have ten acres of land."
"My son's father, don't fight the war, the family has divided the fields, and the government still borrows livestock, but I can't do it!"
"Dad, go home, I miss you."
"Son, your old lady fell ill, and I just want to see you!"
The city fell into deathly silence, and Yan Shenghao's face turned blue. He never thought that Gao Yuan would make such a move immediately after the leaflet.
The city was quiet for a while, when suddenly there was a clang, a spear fell to the ground, and a soldier rushed to the top of the city, holding on to the wall, and shouted hoarsely, "Father, I am here, I am here!" Here!"
"Catch him up, grab him up." An officer rushed forward, picked up the soldier like a chicken, and threw him on the ground.
Several soldiers stepped forward to hold down the young man and tied him up, but the next scene made everyone dumbfounded. More soldiers rushed to the top of the city, looking at the city, Shouting loudly, the people below the city seemed to have seen their relatives. Regardless of the obstruction of the soldiers of the Zhengdong Army, they rushed to the bottom of the city with all their strength, raised their heads and shouted. At this moment, the city was in chaos.
"Take all these soldiers back to the barracks and call up the guards!" Yan Shenghao looked at the messy city wall, gave an order with trembling hands and feet, turned around and left.
There is no fighting spirit in the city, but there is no intention of attacking the city below. Up to now, Yan Shenghao already knows the opponent's intention, but he can't do anything.
The more than 10,000 recruits in the city have become the most dangerous group of people, and they may turn against each other at any time.
"Father, what should we do?" Back in the mansion, Yan Peng looked at his father ~IndoMTL.com~ and murmured. "The situation in the county in the barracks is raging, I'm afraid it can't be suppressed. Even if it is suppressed, how dare they let them fight."
"Peng'er, you send someone out of the city to see Gao Yuan, just say that I want to see him."
"Father, do you want to surrender?"
"What if I don't surrender? After they broke the city, they caught and chopped off my head?" Yan Shenghao smiled wryly: "Gao Yuan did this because he didn't want to attack hard. He was forcing me to surrender. If so, he This is our only way out. Otherwise, after those ordinary people withdrew just now, he immediately sent troops to attack the city, I'm afraid we can't hold it anymore."
"Surrender? Surrender!" Yan Peng murmured, hanging his head weakly.
"I will try my best to fight for better conditions. At worst, our father and son can still be a rich man." Yan Shenghao patted his son comfortingly, "There is nothing to be done, and we are forced to support ourselves, but it is just lost." It's just life, and the wise don't do it." (To be continued.
