Chapter 665 Zhai Rang Siege
Zhai Rang's request for battle allowed him to gain some fame in the siege of Taiyuan Prefecture. After all, he was just a mountain leader, and it was already very considerate to be able to show his face in front of many princes and generals.
When someone learned that Zhai Rang was once a legal master and later became a wanted criminal, his reputation suddenly fell. As a Green Forest person, he was not favored by these people, and now his reputation is hopeless.
The only way to show your achievements is to set an example.
The city of Taiyuan Prefecture is towering, much higher than the city walls here in Penglaicheng. You can see that the city walls are full of archers from afar.
Tens of thousands of soldiers surrounded the enemy outside Taiyuan Prefecture and were eyeing each other, and the situation in the city was not very good, because the people from the Wang family in the city summoned a large number of disciples and children to parade.
The government dispatched officials to stop him, but in the end they did nothing at all.
"Father, the Wang family is demonstrating at the door on the street, hoping that we can open the city gate to welcome the enemy in." Li Jiancheng told the truth.
Feared, Li Yuan placed the account books in his hand directly on the table, his face full of anger.
"It's outrageous. The people from the Wang family took the opportunity to find trouble and ordered soldiers to stop them. Since the Wang family, who is leading the charge, cannot indulge them in this time."
Duke Tang was ruthless. He was a person who knew how to be sensible. When he was leading the city, there were people who wanted to cooperate with the inside and outside. They all said that scholars were in trouble and wanted to achieve their goals with reputation. They were too naive.
Li Yuan thought clearly in his heart.
Li Jiancheng did not stop and immediately went out to make arrangements. There were many soldiers in the city, and it was not easy to control the people who caused trouble.
The captain led more than 200 people to surround everyone who was going out to demonstrate.
Seeing that those people were controlled by the soldiers, Li Jiancheng no longer shouted any unnecessary words, and they all looked terrified.
"Dear fellow villagers, don't easily believe that you were bewitched. Now that the troops are at the city, you don't want to end up in a family destruction," said Li Jiancheng.
"Of course I don't want to." The brave man replied.
"Okay, please believe that as long as our Li family is here, Taiyuan Mansion will be getting better and better as before. Everyone has food to eat and everyone has new clothes. I believe that our Li family is not empty talk. At this time, I hope you all calm down and don't be used by others to make trouble. Let's go back first."
While persuading Li Jiancheng, he was paying attention to the people in the team.
I soon saw that many of the people were unrestrained. Although Li Jiancheng in Taiyuan Prefecture always stayed in the barracks, he often patrolled the streets.
Although I can't say that I know people all over the city, I still look familiar after patrolling for a long time.
It is said to be a new face because some people are different from other people. Some people have anger, while others always give people a bad feeling.
This way, it is not difficult to find for those who feel special.
"Come here, bring that person over there, and there are those over there..."
Li Jiancheng gave a quick advice and someone would come over to bring the person out every time he clicked the person. When he was close to some people, the other party's expression became particularly obvious.
You can tell at a glance whether the other party is guilty.
"What are you doing? Why do you want to arrest people for no reason?" asked the servants sent by the Wang family.
"This has nothing to do with you. Now that everyone who brings your family is dispersed, you won't think that you can compete with the Li family with just this little person."
Li Jiancheng said in front of the Wang family, without any panic.
People from the Wang family wanted to set the pace, but they never thought there was no such opportunity at all. Li Jiancheng's strong moments reminded them not to cause trouble, but the consequences were that they could not bear.
The people in the Wang family are also smart people. Although they are stubborn, the situation is like this now. No one really guarantees that the Li family will not be cruel to meet them. After all, the Li family has heavy troops, so they can't bear it if they really have a thought.
The advantage of scholars is that they can see the form clearly. Now they are surrounded by soldiers and are already in danger. Scholars often say that gentlemen do not stand under dangerous walls, so how can those who think highly of themselves not understand?
Seeing that they could no longer fool others, they could only give up. For them, those who know the times are heroes, and they should be heroes rather than stupid people.
"Now that the Sui State's troops are at the city, we are extremely scared. The people in the city are in danger of their lives. Before making a decision, I hope that your Li family can think of the people in the city and not just do whatever they want." The people in the Wang family are all eloquent and have not forgotten to think about the problems when they are critical.
Everyone who listened was grateful. Even those who didn't understand what was going on would be grateful for the Wang family's time.
Li Jiancheng had no choice but to see such a thing. Now the Li family is in the opposite direction of the Sui State. It would be good that the people did not really make trouble at this time.
Called the guards and let people look at these people and dismissed them.
With the leadership of the lieutenant, more than 200 soldiers worked hard, a small storm was resolved, and the person who had just been guided was taken back for interrogation.
The Wang family's agitation was open, and even the Li family had no choice but to do anything to them.
I can only just live by myself. I believe that the Li family’s tough attitude can calm the Wang family’s people for a while.
Just when he was about to be dismissed, someone came to report the news. When he saw the eldest son of the Li family, he immediately said, "General Li, the enemy is sieging the city and asking the general to send reinforcements."
After hearing this, Li Jiancheng returned to Li's mansion immediately.
The people who were about to leave were nervous when they heard this. What they feared the most was to fall into the war and they didn't use the soldiers on the side to drive them away again. With a few breaths, everyone scattered.
Under the city wall, Zhai Rang really regrets being a vanguard at this time. Isn’t this a archer staring at the enemy trying to die?
I have to say that their courage is commendable, but their equipment is far from being too bad. Many people don’t have shields to defend themselves. They lost a lot of people just after rushing to the first wave. There are some archers, but the number is not large.
Fortunately, most archers are hunters, and the accuracy is enough. There is no loss in both sides' back and forth. This does not mean that the Li family's archers are not powerful.
But Zhai Rang knew that he was at a disadvantage in fighting with the archers, so he could only lead people to charge under the city quickly, and soon basically stuck his feet at the base of the city wall.
If the archers on the city wall want to hit the person under the city wall, they need to poke out at the battlements, otherwise there will be no chance of hitting. The archers all know that if they really poke out their heads, there is a high chance that they will be shot by the enemy archers.
No one would be that stupid.
