Chapter 170 Borrowing a knife to kill (2)
Sure enough, as soon as Sun Ce's words were heard, the entire Jiangdong gentry was in full swing. These gentry were not fools. You could see at a glance that this was something that Sun Ce wanted to use a knife to kill people and climb the city wall! Even some generals were not sure about doing, so let them, the gentry men who were pampered and had a superior life do it! Isn't this asking for death!
But none of these gentry said anything. They were all looking at each other. Wancheng has now entered a vacuum period of power. Whoever can capture Wancheng can get a big cake in the next sharing of spoils. What these gentry pursued for the rest of their lives is to expand their own power and ride the wind and rain in this chaotic world or the new dynasty!
There is a saying that if something has 10% benefits, everyone will flock to it. If there is a 20% theory, it will be a risk for someone to catch a cold. If it is more than 50%, life will become worthless!
Now that the entire Wancheng is captured, there is a 50% profit. It is a huge profit. If you can capture Wancheng, don’t have much. As long as you can gain a place in Wancheng, you are afraid that you will not have territory!
To be closer, it is Wancheng, to be farther, it is the entire Lujiang. Lujiang County is a place with abundant resources, with hundreds of thousands of fertile land and salt and iron. These are all money, and they are all things that can expand the aristocratic family.
How could we not make these people jealous? They looked at each other. Although Lujiang is big, it is not enough for a bunch of wolves to distribute it. Do you really think these gentry help Sun Ce for free? It is because you know that Liu Mang slaughtered the entire Wancheng gentry, which is said that there are not many gentry left in Lujiang!
The rest of the Liu family, the Lu family, were all dependent on the Lu Bu family. Once Lu Bu was driven away, Lujiang was a virgin land, which made these gentry ready to move.
Now there is a huge profit cake in front of you. How many soldiers and horses can you leave in Wancheng? One thousand or two thousand? In their hands, whoever does not have five thousand soldiers and horses in every aristocratic family can just climb the city wall! The credit for breaking Wancheng is theirs.
Rewards on merit can at least double their family.
"We are not military generals. We may be worried about our lives when we wait to go up to the city wall!" Someone spoke, and he spoke earnestly while watching the reactions of others.
Life worries? Lu Su sneered in his heart, are you worried about their safety? You are intimidating the gentry leaders! It means nothing more than the dangers of the city wall, so don’t go. Let me go alone! If I don’t go to hell, who will go to hell!
Compared with the benefits obtained, what do these life worries count? What's more, there are very few defenders left in Wancheng. I'm afraid that as soon as I climbed the city wall, Wancheng would be broken.
"Yes! Wancheng is dangerous. Look, General Chen Wu and General Dong Xi went up to the city wall yesterday. In the end, the Danyang soldiers lost 5,000 people. General Chen Wu died in the city wall. Wancheng is dangerous. Lu Bu's army is very powerful!" Another bitter gentry leader stood up.
"Uncles, you all look at you who are not young, so let us young people do such dangerous things!" This is a head of the Bao family. The Bao family sent a young child, the young master of the Bao family. His father was old, naturally he didn't want to come again when he was old. Sending his own son is also an act of testing his son.
"That's right! Uncles and uncles are old enough to live a life! We will give us this dangerous thing about siege!" If the young master of the Bao family could still say this, he was young and could be cute, then the one who spoke now was pure shameless! The person who spoke was Zhang De, the head of the Zhang family, who was not young, he was over thirty years old. The ancients called me at the age of thirty. This was already an "old man", which was smaller than the head of other families present. But he was definitely not inferior to the seniority.
Usually they are called brothers, not uncles!
"Haha!" An elderly man spoke, and he would give up his great contribution at the age of age! Although these two people were right, don't forget that they were not old enough to walk, they were just getting older. "We are old, but Brother Tzu-Yu, if you want to call me uncle, I will give you a gift next time I meet you!" This old man and the Zhang family are family friends, and the gifts are always for the elders to the younger generation.
The current head of the Zhang family is Zhang Shao, who is one of the advisers of Sun Cejun. He has very real power. Let Zhang Shao ask his uncle to get the meeting gift. Isn’t this a slap from the Zhang family?
"You!" Zhang De's face turned red. He called out his uncle because of his credit. Who knew there was someone more shameless than him. He directly teased him that he could call him all the uncles present, but he didn't dare to let his elder brother shout!
Zhang Shao paid the most attention to etiquette. His brother knew about it, it would be strange if he didn't beat him to death.
Seeing Zhang De's retreat, the man continued to speak, "You all said that we are old! Then let's be old! We have lived enough, and we have been alive for a few days. Let's give us these old bones such dangerous things! You are still young and have many things to make achievements! Let's pave the way for you!" These gentry members are not easy to deal with.
The young people mentioned earlier that you are old, you can’t go to the battlefield anymore, so you should just live your life! We young people take care of you, and we will do dangerous things.
After that, I immediately fought back, and the old man followed the tone of his youth. Yes, we are all old and have not been alive for a few days. You are still young and have not had a good time, so you can't die on the city wall and die young. So let us old men have this dangerous thing! While we still have some strength.
Both sides ran to each other. Although there was no arrow rain and guns, they were still trying to attack each other, and Lu Su did not expect these gentry to be so good, because they really put their friendship and faces aside for their own interests and their friendship.
"Okay!" Lu Su yelled suddenly. The honest man with a good temper like him was also angry. "Why are you arguing? If you want to arguing, get back to Jiangdong and then make arguing!"
When Lu Su heard Lu Su's words, he became quiet. Lu Su was a member of the Lu family. If they were just Lu family, they didn't care about you. But now Lu Su is the military advisor of the entire army. If Lu Su is annoyed, people will not need to do anything more. In the entire Lujiang battle, you have no chance to participate. You did nothing and naturally have no rewards. If you mobilize such a large army, you will not go back and die.
If Lu Su is a little more ruthless and makes some moves, just like the Zuo Bian family yesterday, you will be done with the first wave of siege or field battles. You can't stand it for a day without seeing the soldiers of the three families together. These private soldiers are all their own gentry, and it will be a pity for death, because these are all money, and you really have no temper. You came to help Sun Ce attack Lujiang, so what's wrong with others putting you on the front line! It's reasonable.
"You all want to attack Wancheng, right? You all want to make a contribution, right?" Lu Su directly made the matter clear to them, otherwise it would be difficult to solve the problem if he kept talking nonsense here for a few days.
"Yes!" Only some young and strong sects would speak, while the old foxes stared at Lu Su with flickering faces.
"If Military Advisor Lu asks our Wu family to attack the city, our Wu family will be punished later!" This is the head of the Wu family. As mentioned earlier, the Wu family is from Sun Ce's mother Wu Guotai, so even Sun Ce dares to directly wipe out the Wu family's face, so the Wu family has been walking sideways.
But this time Lu Su doesn't give face at all! I'll let your Wu family attack the city first, so what about the others! Lu Su dare not offend the Wu family easily, but this premise is a different matter when it comes to offending the entire Jiangdong family. And even if you give you this opportunity, your Wu family can take it down! It can escape and disperse if you attack a large village in Anhui City. This attack is much more difficult than seizing the village. If you run away again, Lu Su can only go to Sun Ce to take the crime by himself.
"Don't ask me!" Lu Su refused directly. It was not that he did not give face, but that he himself did not have the right to assign this assignment. "The lord has already said that the first person who climbed the city wall regarded it as a merit of breaking the city! If you want this merit, then please take it yourself!"
"Hmph!" The head of the Wu family was swept away by Lu Su and snorted coldly. What is Lu Su like? Don't he know that the Wu family and the Sun family are the masters of Lujiang and even the entire Jiangdong! What are you Lu Su like? Isn't it just a dog of their Wu family and the Sun family? Lu Su Lu family! The head of the Wu family has already remembered it in his heart and is ready to go back and settle the score with the Lu family!
"But the military advisor of Lu, although this Anhui City is large, we cannot let tens of thousands of troops attack the city together!" The siege was swarming and taking away by waves.
Wancheng is already a minister, and it is impossible for all the troops to be spread out.
"Each family sends one thousand troops, which is naturally enough!" Lu Su gave these gentry ideas. One thousand troops, there are twelve gentry families here, and there are also 12,000 troops, enough to capture Wancheng.
"One thousand in one family!" Some gentry's eyes were flashing. They had private soldiers. Although the overall combat effectiveness of private soldiers was not very good, they all had elite private soldiers. These are the things that protected the lives of these gentry, otherwise how could they come out?
Now it’s time to pull out and compete for this rare credit!
The gentry leaders looked at each other, communicated with each other, and were suspicious and guarded against each other.
"In this way, I will prepare first by the military advisor Lu!" It was dawn, and it was the most intense siege battle. They needed to prepare, because this time, not only would they attack the enemy, but also these hostile friendly troops.
"Huh!" Lu Su watched the gentry leaders leave, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. Dealing with these gentry is really tiring than making suggestions, because these people are old foxes and little foxes. You can kill the enemy with one blow, and they are all! They are all great men not only need to coax them, but also have to coax them well.
It is dawn, and Lu Su is going to prepare. Calculate the time, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry of Lu Bu’s army is about to return to the rescue. Lu Su needs to closely monitor the movements of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, and the news of the scouts must be in place.
