Since the rebellion broke out, the royal government has been going smoothly.
After all, he has the help of the system and the advantage of foresight, and the enemies he faces are mostly unknown people.
At least in Wang Zheng's opinion, this is indeed the case.
What Xu Xuan, Dong Lin, Xu He...
Whether they are friends or enemies, they are all minor characters in the original history of the Three Kingdoms.
Just a good general with five sons, isn't he now a soldier under his command?
After winning one victory after another, Wang Zheng often warned Wu Sheng and others not to be arrogant and complacent.
It's just that there is quite a lot of frivolity in his own heart.
As a result, he received a slap in the face.
After Xia Houmao, who had shattered the dreams of the royal counselor and was unable to hug Wei Wu, came Xu Xuan.
Wang Zheng once again felt frustrated and at a disadvantage.
Compared with the whip in the face, Xu Xuan's fire made Wang Zheng not only feel pain in the face, but also felt heartache.
After occupying the granary, a rough calculation has been made.
Linzi is indeed the place where most of the essence of Qingzhou is gathered. The five granaries almost have more than 50,000 shi of grain.
How proud the royal government was at that time, how depressed it is now.
Fifty thousand stones!
Wang Zheng didn't need to do any detailed calculations to realize the huge losses.
Because he remembered an allusion from the Three Kingdoms period.
Yuan Shu instigated Lu Bu to attack Xiaopei, and the condition he offered was the support of one hundred thousand stones of grain and grass.
When Chen Gong objected, Lu Bu gave a reason that he could not refuse.
Since this amount of food is enough for his army for two years, how can he ignore it?
Even if there are still two granaries left, the impact of the loss of 50,000 dan is still difficult for Wang Zheng to accept.
It even affected the strategic route he had already planned.
I have to say that this Xu Xuan is indeed a decisive person.
This move can be called a desperate strategy.
It directly hit the weak spot of the Heavenly Army or all the rebel armies.
Thinking of this, Wang Zheng suddenly felt something in his heart and blurted out:
"not good!"
It is impossible for the other party to only attack their own granary!
What's more, if you compare, only one out of three is guarded by the Tiangang Army. Xu He's focus is on the barracks. If there are not many people arranged, and the generals are not smart enough...
He was about to arrange for someone to notify Xu He, but his eyes froze again.
But at this time, in two distant directions in Linzi City, almost the same scene appeared one after another.
Flames soaring into the sky, billowing black smoke...
Cao!
Wang Zheng cursed secretly, shook his head, and went to notify Hammer.
From a distance, one could see that the fire was extremely raging, and the two granaries on the Taiping Army side were probably in flames.
"What...what should I do?"
Xu Fang, who also saw this scene, was also stunned and muttered to himself:
"Does the county governor Xu Xuan completely ignore the people of Linzi and his own official reputation?"
In Xu Fang's view, burning food affected more than just a few groups of rebels.
"What does he dare not do?" Wang Zheng snorted coldly and said solemnly:
"The moment Linzi falls into the hands of our army, in this person's eyes, the people of Linzi will become our new refugees."
"Then they are no longer the people Cao Cao pastors."
"Even if all the food is burned, only the Yellow Turban bandits and other rebel refugees will starve to death. If Cao Cao hears the news, he will only praise Xu Xuan for being decisive and easy to deal with!"
"Hey, when failure has become an inevitable fact, the support and advantages available to our army must be reduced."
"You can think of this move immediately and dare to use this move to reduce our army's gains and slow down our army's development. What a Xu Xuan!"
This is a valuable lesson.
Wang Zheng no longer dares to be careless because of those unfamiliar names.
Yes, how could a person who was entrusted with an important task by Cao Cao and sent to a place like Linzi to be the head of the palace really be incompetent?
But his hero is my enemy.
Originally, I was planning to take it step by step, first taking control of the inner city, and then attacking the palace city, but now I am completely ready to kill him and then hurry up.
The key is that the other party sent people to set fire to the granary in the inner city, so the county warehouse also located in Miyagi...
Wang Zheng now felt 10,000 regrets in his heart. If he had known this, he would have attacked the palace city without stopping after attacking the inner city to avoid future troubles.
"Send the order!"
"In addition to the soldiers guarding the city gates and key areas, the Tiangang Division is left to guard the inner city."
"The remaining soldiers, all troops should march to the palace city immediately!"
"promise!"
.....
"Lord Fu Zun, several groups of bandits have attacked the gates on both sides of the inner city at the same time!"
Wang Yi once again rolled and crawled to report.
At this time, Xu Xuan was sitting quietly in the center of the lobby, carefully wiping the sword with a piece of silk cloth.
Hearing this, he raised his head and looked at Wang Yi, his face rosy and somewhat attractive.
"Have all five granaries been burned?"
"Only three of the people sent out have succeeded." Wang Yi replied with an anxious look on his face: "Master, gather your family members quickly. Other colleagues are waiting outside the door. Let's set off quickly and break out from the west gate of the inner city. It's still too late.
."
"family?"
Hearing this, Xu Xuan smiled vaguely, placed the silk cloth casually on the case, shook his head and said: "Wang Jijiu, since you want to escape, hurry up."
"Master Fu, then you..." After hearing this, Wang Yi was stunned, and inadvertently saw that the piece of silk cloth was covered with blood stains. Suddenly his face changed drastically and his voice trembled:
"Master Fu, this blood..."
"The yellow turban thieves are just like beasts." Xu Xuan laughed loudly and stood up: "How can I leave my wife and family to be insulted and slander my name after my death?"
Looking at the other party's firm eyes, Wang Yi completely understood.
Xu Xuan was already determined to die with the city.
"Your Majesty, the thieves are powerful and our army is outnumbered. It's not your fault."
Wang Yi couldn't bear it and wanted to persuade him again, but Xu Xuan just waved his hand and said with a smile: "I have made up my mind, Wang Jijiu, you can go ahead."
"Why..."
Wang Yi had no choice but to cup his hands, then turned and left.
Watching the other party's figure gradually disappear, Xu Xuanduan sat in the hall, with thousands of thoughts pouring into his heart.
A young man is successful and full of energy.
Obtained from the Ming Lord, he is extremely heroic.
To govern a county, be courteous to the virtuous and corporal officers.
When defending the city, greet the cold and ask for warmth, and show sympathy to the soldiers.
Scenes of scenes passed through his mind, and he asked himself, from the moment he heard about the Yellow Turban rebellion, he had done nothing wrong.
But why are we still in the current situation?
The killing cries gradually grew closer and closer.
As the screams continued, Xu Xuan knew that the last batch of soldiers loyal to him might also have fallen in front of him at this moment, with corpses strewn all over the ground.
The sound of footsteps came.
A young general wearing armor strode in with cold eyes.
Xu Xuan stared at the opposite side calmly and just asked:
"Wang Zheng?"
The young general casually wiped some blood from his face, stared at Xu Xuan for a while, and suddenly laughed.
"Looking at your dress, you must be from Linzi."
"If you want to see General Tiangong, quickly surrender and capture him. I will take you there myself, the Major!"
As he spoke, he licked his lips and said happily: "If you capture a high official alive, Ah Zheng will probably praise me."
"It turns out it's not that straight guy."
Xu Xuan sighed and shook his head with regret.
He originally wanted to see the other person in person before he died, to see what kind of person he really was.
That’s all.
"presumptuous!"
Hearing the rude words from the other side, the young man immediately showed an angry expression and raised his sword again, showing murderous intent.
But at this moment, Xu Xuan suddenly stood up, sneered at him, and then raised his sword.
"How brave, how dare you fight back."
The young man curled his lips in disdain, laughed evilly, and was about to pounce forward. He just stepped out, but stopped again.
Looking at the blood gushing out from Xu Xuan's neck, the young man froze and muttered to himself:
"Why do you want to kill yourself? Why don't I come to help you, Major, and you won't live up to my promise to take care of you."
Seeing the body lying in a pool of blood getting colder, he shook his head and walked up.
