Chapter 1514

As mentioned above, the waters in Zhangzhou are developed and water bandits are rampant.

These water bandits who have been operating for many years seem to have a reckless origin. In fact, they are inextricably involved in the interests of local county officials.

If not, it would not have been so difficult for Yang Jian to pay off the water bandits.

Of course, these relationships are invisible and can only be exchanged in the dark.

In order to keep the family business unaffected, some gentry also have interests entangled with the water bandits. These water strongholds even have their ears and eyes. Yang Si and others entrapment many fishing villages to recruit many young and vigorous water bandits, including eye liner.

Through these eyelints, the gentry release their friendly messages to Fu Wang and others, hoping to form a good relationship.

As soon as Fuwang thought about it, he knew it was unreliable. He didn't know whether it was their own behavior or Yang Tao's instigation.

Feng Zhen is from Anshan County, Zhangzhou. After he is a scholar himself, he still knows the routine of this circle quite well.

He said, "it's just a test. Whether the Lord can beat Zhangzhou or not, it's good for them."

If Jiang Pengji beat Zhangzhou, they would have a natural advantage if they stood in advance. Even if they were only three points friendly, it would be good.

If Jiang Pengji fails and they don't show any obvious behavior of standing in line, Yang Tao can't settle with them.

One day there were two. Yang Si couldn't help laughing and mocking when he received envelopes from several companies for several days.

"Yang Tao hasn't fallen yet. They can't sit still first. They don't have any loyalty and integrity."

Feng Zhen shook his head and said, "this is just their instinct to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages."

Fu Wang also said, "such a villain can't be trusted."

After all, Zhangzhou is Yang Tao's territory. Who knows that there are no hidden stakes in these seemingly defectors?

Doubt belongs to doubt. You should accept the letter, or you will completely push people into Yang Tao's arms. Thanks to your ambiguous attitude, you might as well hang it.

Some gentry were flustered when they saw that their goodwill had not received a positive reply.

At this time, Fuwang led the troops to attack dangfang south of Zhangzhou, and Qi Kuang was responsible for the Navy. The troops were divided into two routes, and the waterway entered simultaneously.

Dangfang is a small place, because of its geographical advantages and convenient waterways from south to north, its business is relatively prosperous and there are a large number of floating people.

As one of the portals of Zhangzhou, dangfang has a certain military weight because of its smooth waterway and the advantage of connecting north and south.

The county magistrate here, whose surname is Xia, came from a local Haozu family. Seeing that the Fuwang army was threatening, he immediately burst into a cold sweat.

Feng Zhen thought carefully and said with a smile, "this man likes to steer in the wind and is timid. The general might as well scare him."

Fu Wang looked at Feng Zhen, "how to scare?"

Feng Zhen said, "write a letter secretly and order them to open the city and surrender in three days, or they will kill the people."

Yang Sibai glanced at Fengzhen. Is this boy serious?

No matter which era the massacre was put on, it was criticized and dared not say it easily.

Fu Wang shook his head and said, "no, if this matter comes out, it will inevitably damage the Lord's reputation."

Feng Zhen said, "it's just to scare people, but it's not really to kill the city. The general should be relieved."

Yang Si's eyes were turning to the top of his head and said sarcastically, "Feng prodigal son, can't you come up with some reliable ideas?"

Feng Zhendao, "You don't know that dangfang is not Yang Jian's old force. On the contrary, many local giants have some minor contradictions with Yang Jian. Yang Jian led troops to clear up the water bandits and found that several powerful families in dangfang had business collusion with the water bandits. If someone didn't stop them, Yang Jian was afraid to kill them all. Knowing that there was no hope of guarding the city, they couldn't fill their lives to defend dangfang for Yang Tao. If they could fight, they wouldn't die If the blood blade takes this place, it can also play a deterrent role. This is also a great encouragement to my Sergeant spirit. "

Yang Si said, "there is always a chance."

Feng Zhen said, "if they don't want to surrender, they will knock on the gate of dangfang, and then plant the rumors of massacre on the county magistrate guarding the city. He said that he was afraid of our army's prestige and the people's flight, and deliberately released rumors to discredit the Lord."

History books are written by winners, and losers have no right to speak.

After hearing this, Yang Si showed a wordless expression.

He arched his hands at Fengzhen and said, "I'm convinced."

Feng prodigal son was shameless and almost comparable to the Lord. He lost.

Fuwang accepted Fengzhen's opinion and sent a letter of war.

When Xia County Magistrate saw the threat of Fuwang, he immediately softened his legs.

According to what the war said, Fuwang led 80000 troops to dangfang. If they didn't know each other, 80000 troops could trample dangfang flat with one foot. If he resists tenaciously, he will lose his family's life and the lives of the whole city in vain.

"Well, what should we do? There are only 8000 troops in the city. How can we beat others 80000?"

Xiaxian Ling is really like Fengzhen. He is a timid character and has no independent opinion at the critical moment.

The world doesn't know what Jiang Pengji's soldiers and horses are capable of water warfare, but they can fly in the siege.

The staff asked, "there is no reinforcements from Zhengze Gong?"

Xia Xian Ling was so anxious that he was sweating. He couldn't help complaining, "Yang Tao is in short supply of troops and horses. There are gaps everywhere. Where can we take care of the waiting room? Letters have been sent out long ago, and reinforcements can't arrive until seven or eight days at the earliest. How can we withstand the rampage of those animals?"

Yang Tao also has Yang Tao's difficulties, but Xia county magistrate will not understand, but full of complaints.

"You say... Fuwang and others can really kill the city?"

The aide said, "it's hard to say. Liu Xi was restrained by Nie, and most of his troops were trapped in the north. Fuwang led his troops to attack Zhangzhou for a long time, and has not made any achievements so far. If the city was used to frighten the four sides, Fuwang would encounter much less obstacles to attack Zhangzhou south."

Zhangzhou is not one mind. The gentry have their own plans. It is easy to change jobs when they see the bad publicity.

If you show your strength by slaughtering the city, maybe you can really scare the county along the road to surrender.

Xia Xianling was even more flustered at this.

The staff added, "It can be seen whether the situation is favorable or unfavorable. The strength of the princes on both sides is even stronger. Liu Xi's army is strong, and the Navy's combat power is also good. On the contrary, Yang Tao has spent too many troops in the alliance of Nansheng. Now how can he spare any strength to deal with Liu Xi? In my opinion, even if the county magistrate is for the safety of the people in the city, you should carefully consider this letter of war."

No matter how strong the Dang house is, can it be comparable to the passes and cities that Jiang Pengji had pried open?

In terms of military strength, the military strength is only 10% of that of the enemy. The reinforcements haven't even seen the shadow. They just can't defend it if they want to.

It's better to surrender to the enemy than defend and lose the lives of the whole city.

Moreover——

Yang Tao's father still has friction with several rich families in dangfang. They may deliberately drag reinforcements.
