At this time, Master Shen Yi and Shen had been stationed in Xuzhou for three days.
In three days, Shen Yi has cleared four residences for the Huai'an Army in Xuzhou City, each close to the four gates of Xuzhou. The West Route Army is responsible for the two northwest gates, and the East Route Army is responsible for the two southeast gates. At the same time, a strict city gate system has been established.
, no one is allowed to open the city gate without Shen Yi's personal warrant and Shen Yi's personal badge.
After three days, Xuzhou City's defense work was basically arranged, and Shen Yi also stayed at the Zhizhou Yamen and became the "Zhizhou Master" of Xuzhou City.
To be precise, he should be the local emperor of Xuzhou City.
Now, Emperor Hongde can't control him, let alone others.
This morning, Mr. Shen was sitting in the living room in the backyard of Zhizhou Yamen. Sitting below him were Ling Su and Su Ding.
After Shen Yi took a sip of tea, he asked with a smile: "Has the defense work at each city gate been properly arranged?"
Both of them lowered their heads and clasped their fists and said, "Back to Mr. Shen, everything has been arranged. There will be three thousand people at each city gate taking turns day and night. There will never be any mistakes."
"A lot of things like kerosene, rolling stones, gold juice and other things for defending the city have also been prepared.
"
Shen Yi nodded and said: "Counting the days, it won't take long for the Qi people to surround Xuzhou City. Tell the people below that there is no need to be anxious, let alone fear."
Mr. Shen took a sip of tea and said calmly: "In a short period of time, the number of troops that can arrive in Xuzhou may not be much greater than ours. Besides, the walls of Xuzhou are tall and we have enough soldiers and food. It doesn't matter how many people come."
Su Ding said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Shen. Our brothers in the army, everyone can trust you, Mr. Shen. Besides, you are still in Xuzhou City, so the brothers will naturally not panic."
Ling Su also laughed and said, "I'm afraid that when the Qi people arrive, General Xue will want to go out and kill for a few times."
Mr. Shen put down the tea cup and said calmly: "You will take care of the military affairs. I am not worried about it for the time being. In a while, you will each set up a thousand-household camp for me."
Mr. Shen stood up silently and said, "I'm going to help my brothers solve the food problem. By the way..."
Shen Yi narrowed his eyes and said, "By the way, let me, the son of the Han family, vent the bad breath that has lasted for decades."
The two generals looked at each other and both lowered their heads and said, "Mr. Shen, do you want me to accompany you?"
"No need."
Shen Yi said calmly: "Just send two thousand households to follow me."
The two men immediately lowered their heads and clasped their fists, saying yes.
Soon, two thousand Huai'an troops gathered at the gate of Zhizhou Yamen. Shen Yi, Jiang Sheng and Lin Sheng, led the two thousand people and ran through Xuzhou city.
At this time, the people in Xuzhou city still dared not go out, almost every house was closed, and few people were seen on the streets.
Lin Sheng led the way, and after a while, he came to a mansion. Lin Sheng pointed at the mansion, turned to Shen Yi and said, "Sizheng, this is the largest noble family in Xuzhou."
"This family belongs to Zhenren Zhuli. Our ancestors entered the country with the Hu emperor and made great contributions."
"For this reason, his family was granted the title of Marquis of Pengcheng and lived in Xuzhou for generations."
"For several generations, people have intermarried with the royal family. They also intermarried with the Zhou family who conquered the South and married their daughters."
Lin Sheng's tone was calm and he said quietly: "Now, he is already the third generation of Pengcheng Hou. He is very powerful in Xuzhou. Even Pan Mao sometimes depends on their family's face. In Xuzhou Mansion, I am afraid that the fertile land is
There are more than 100,000 acres of land and countless various assets.”
Shen Yi touched his chin and asked with a smile: "There is no surrender."
Lin Sheng raised his head and looked at the prince's mansion in front of him, and said: "His surname is Bayan, which has now been changed to Ba. The first generation of Pengcheng Hou first came to Yandu..."
"Therefore, the Emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty promised his family to be a prince for eternity and to be a prince for generations to come."
When Shen Yi heard this, he narrowed his eyes and said softly: "Let's go to Yandu first..."
"That's a coincidence."
He put his hands behind his back and asked, "Is the Marquis of Pengcheng in the mansion now?"
"Here I am."
Lin Sheng replied: "On the day when the king's army broke into the city, Pan Mao also went to Pengcheng Marquis Mansion to drink. He got very drunk that afternoon. In the evening, he and his subordinates went to watch the grain carts enter the city."
Shen Yi nodded and said without thinking: "Knock..."
He only said one word, then came to his senses and laughed at himself: "I've always been polite to others, and I almost forgot that I was here to cause trouble."
He looked at the Qianhu next to him and said, "Go and open the door."
"If you don't open the door three times, you'll find a wooden stake to knock on the door immediately."
The Qian family's surname was Zhu and their name was Datong. When they heard this, they immediately lowered their heads and said yes. Then most of them came forward, walked to the door of the Hou Mansion, exhaled and spoke loudly.
"Listen to the bastards out there!"
He is from Taizhou Prefecture, and his Mandarin is not very good, but it is enough for people to hear clearly.
"The head coach of King Chen arrived and quickly opened the door to greet him. After three calls, he didn't respond and immediately knocked on the door!"
"At that time, everyone in the house will have no chance of survival!"
The Pengcheng Marquis Mansion was far less courageous than Shen Yi thought. Before Zhu Datong could finish his sentence, there was movement inside almost immediately.
Someone peered through the crack in the door and glanced at the brightly-armored Huaian soldiers outside, and then opened the door tremblingly.
Behind the door, a "rich man" with a big belly and fair skin came out. He looked about forty years old.
After this man walked out of his house, he almost collapsed to the ground when he saw these Chen officers and soldiers at his door. He bowed to all four directions and respectfully held his hands in his hands and said, "May I ask, which one of them is Nan...is the coach of Chen?"
Zhu Datong immediately stepped forward and cursed: "You are such a bastard, even our Mr. Shen can't recognize you!"
Shen Yi waved his hand at him, smiled and said, "Don't be so rude."
After saying this, he put his hands on his hands and said calmly, "I am Shen Yi."
"Are you the Marquis of Pengcheng?"
The middle-aged man bowed his head and saluted Shen Yi, and said, "I don't dare to take it seriously. I've met Mr. Shen in Balong."
He looked up at Shen Yi and couldn't help but praise: "Master Shen is really young and promising, at such a young age..."
Shen Yi waved his hand and interrupted him.
"Ba...um...Master Bahou, you don't have to be so polite. I'm not here today just to be polite to you."
Mr. Shen looked kind and said with a smile: "I came here to kill people."
"But it seems that the Marquis is very cooperative. Let's talk about the murder later."
Shen Yi put his hands behind his back and said softly: "Now, please Lord Marquis, please bring out all the people in the house... no, all the people and animals."
"From today on, all the property, food, and house here will be taken away."
Mr. Shen still smiled: "They have all been confiscated."
The Marquis of Pengcheng was immediately overcome by Shen Yi's short words. He looked at Shen Yi and his whole body trembled: "Shen...Master Shen."
Shen Yi still had a smile on his face: "If you say one more thing, I will start killing people right now."
"To be honest, Lord Marquis, Shen will not have any psychological burden if he kills you all now, and it is much easier to kill you all than to clear you out."
Baron plopped, knelt on the ground, lowered his head and cried: "Master Shen, I... Xiaomin's family is willing to surrender, willing to surrender!"
Shen Yi knelt down, patted the little fat man on the head, and said softly: "Master Hou, don't be sad, what I want to confiscate today is not only your family's property, but also all the Zhu Li people in Xuzhou City and those who are related to Zhu Li."
All the belongings and food of every household will be confiscated and handed over to the public."
"Um…"
Mr. Shen touched his nose and said, "To be precise, I leave it to Mr. Shen to take charge of it."
Balong, Hou of Pengcheng, knelt in front of Shen Yi and trembled: "Master Shen, I know a lot about the imperial court. I can cooperate with you, Master Shen!"
Shen Yi didn't even look at him again. He just looked up at the Hou Mansion and said calmly: "Listen to my general's orders."
"Everyone enters the prince's mansion immediately, regardless of men or women, and is locked up for now. If there is resistance, they will be killed on the spot."
Zhu Datong screamed in excitement, clasped his fists at Shen Yi, said yes, and then led people into the Pengcheng Marquis Mansion.
Shen Yi entered the front yard of the Marquis Mansion and sat down under a pavilion.
Balong, the Hou of Pengcheng who was enjoying a privileged life in the Northern Qi Dynasty, knelt in front of him like a dead dog, trembling all over.
"Master Shen, Xiaomin has a pair of twin daughters who are very beautiful. If you are willing, Xiaomin is willing to let them serve Master Shen!"
Mr. Shen sat under the pavilion, shook his head and sighed.
"Master Hou, why can't you understand it yet?"
"No matter what your things are, you don't need to give them to me."
