Chapter 212: Open the city and surrender quickly
"Are you sure it's here?" Liu Xuecheng looked at the broken thatched cottage in front of him and couldn't help but ask.
In his view, the other party was a bandit king and had plundered countless times, so how could he let his relatives live in such a place.
Li Feng nodded affirmatively and said: "Jun Governor, I am very sure!"
Even if Liu Xuecheng had doubts in his heart, he still signaled the soldiers to come forward.
Of course, polite knocking on the door was impossible. A soldier kicked open the door in front of him, and a roar immediately came from the room.
"Who is it? Damn it, why are you smashing my door?"
Immediately afterward, two soldiers drilled into the thatched cottage and brought Jiang Fu's family out after a while.
"Eh, eh, eh! Who are you? Let go of me..."
Jiang Fu saw so many people, and his momentum was gone instantly. His legs softened and he was about to kneel on the ground.
Two soldiers supported him to Liu Xuecheng to wait for the disposal. Jiang Fu wasn't stupid, and seeing this situation, he knew the other party was a big official. After all, these people were wearing armor, only this person was in brocade clothes.
"Big... my lord, the commoner I... I I..."
Liu Xuecheng interrupted Jiang Fu's words impatiently: "That Great Master of Yangguangzhai, Jiang Jinshi, is he your relative?"
Li Feng stepped forward and added: "My lord, this person is Jiang Jinshi's eldest uncle!"
Only then did Jiang Fu finally know why the other party came to find him. It was brought by Li Feng, this beast, so he immediately wanted to stand up and beat Li Feng, but was pressed by the soldiers and couldn't move.
"Li Feng, you dog-raised thing, dare to play with the lord!"
Li Feng didn't show weakness, pulling his neck and responding: "You bastard, isn't Jiang Jinshi your nephew?"
"What does it have to do with me? He has been a bandit for so long, I have never received half a copper from him, please ask the lord to clarify!" Jiang Fu knew very well the purpose of the other party's coming, and hurriedly wanted to pick himself out first.
After all, he was really wronged!
Jiang Jinshi didn't bring him a good day after he made a fortune, but now the government was investigating, and he was suffering together. Where could he reason?
Liu Xuecheng wasn't interested in this kind of mutual cursing. He only needed to know that this person was the other party's relative.
"Someone come! Tie him up!"
Jiang Fu knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "My lord... please clarify, my lord! I have no dealings with that thief, I am innocent!"
Liu Xuecheng snorted coldly. "Tell you, the thieves plundering cities is equivalent to rebellion! And rebellion is to punish nine generations! So now do you know your crime?"
Hearing this, Jiang Fu lost all his strength and sat on the ground. His wife and children behind him also burst into tears, hurriedly begging for mercy or kowtowing, hoping that the other party would let them go.
"Take them all away!" Liu Xuecheng ordered, turning his head to look at Li Feng. "Continue to lead the way!"
"Jun Governor, please this way!" Li Feng bowed his body, accompanied by a smile, leading the way in front.
Soon Jiang Gui's family was also caught by the soldiers. Because of the property problem after the separation of the family, Jiang Gui and Jiang Fu had a big quarrel, and the relationship between the two was very stiff, and they hadn't spoken to each other for a long time.
Today, because of Li Feng, the two united again to curse Li Feng, and there was no quiet time along the way.
Finally, Liu Xuecheng was annoyed by the listening and ordered the mouths of the two to be blocked.
Li Guang's family couldn't escape under Li Feng's leadership, and a group of people were escorted to outside Panjiang City like this.
At this moment, Colonel Li pressed his sword, standing in front of the battle, looking at the city wall that had not been taken down for a long time, his face was very gloomy.
He didn't expect that he brought 10,000 troops, but was blocked outside the city by a group of thieves. If it spread out, he feared he would be laughed at by his former colleagues.
The Vice Colonel sighed in a low voice on the side: "The forced siege casualties are too great, but the defense in the city is very methodical, it really doesn't look like ordinary bandits."
"Not like bandits? Then it's like the regular army?" Colonel Li snorted coldly, quite dissatisfied with these words.
The Vice Colonel smiled and prepared to explain, but suddenly a soldier came to report.
"Report to the two adults, the Jun Governor is back! Inviting the two adults to go and discuss the matter of suppressing the bandits."
Hearing this, Colonel Li's head grew big. In his view, the other party would definitely give him pressure. It was not easy to fool the other party to go out for a period of time, but he didn't expect that he was still helpless about Panjiang City.
"Good! We will go immediately." Seeing Colonel Li didn't speak, the Vice Colonel responded and patted Colonel Li on the shoulder. "Hey! Let's go!"
When the two came to the big tent, they saw Liu Xuecheng drinking tea indifferently, without any intention of getting angry.
Liu Xuecheng didn't speak, so Colonel Li could only bite the bullet and go up to say hello.
"Jun Governor, how have you been lately?"
"Humph!" Liu Xuecheng snorted coldly, then put down the teacup and said slowly: "I'm very good! It's just that I don't know how the matter of suppressing the bandits is going for Colonel Li?"
"This... the thieves are resisting stubbornly, currently... there is no progress yet..." Colonel Li bowed, his tone a bit unnatural.
Liu Xuecheng said disdainfully: "I knew you were unreliable, and in the end, I have to look at me!"
Colonel Li didn't answer, not knowing what the Jun Governor meant!
Seeing this, Liu Xuecheng didn't sell it anymore and said with a winning ticket: "When I was showing compassion to the commoners, a commoner took the initiative to report, and I caught all the relatives of the thief Great Master."
"What does the Jun Governor mean?" Colonel Li asked tentatively.
"Do you need me to teach you such a simple thing?" Liu Xuecheng was angry and put the teacup heavily on the table.
"Later, you will escort those people to the front of the battle and see how he deals with it!"
Hearing the Jun Governor's plan, Colonel Li immediately answered without hesitation: "No! If you do this, it will definitely be pointed at by the commoners if it spreads out!"
It would be fine if Colonel Li didn't say it, but this sentence ignited the anger in Liu Xuecheng's heart.
"If you could break the city gate, would I use this inferior strategy?"
Colonel Li's face was iron-blue, but he couldn't say a word.
"This matter is settled like this, you go down and arrange it immediately! Even if the thief doesn't open the city gate, it can greatly shake the other party's military heart, after all...
A bandit leader who doesn't even care about his relatives, how could he care about the lives of his subordinates!"
Liu Xuecheng laughed proudly, "By then, we will go and persuade the thieves to surrender, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort!"
"Yes..."
Colonel Li bowed his head to accept the order, squeezing a word out of his throat with difficulty.
Walking out of the big tent, the Vice Colonel asked worriedly: "Are we really going to do this?"
"Do it!"
Colonel Li gritted his teeth fiercely. Now the situation was stronger than people, and he had no choice at all.
Following the order, a team of soldiers escorted a dozen people to the front.
The two Jiang brothers had panic on their faces, Li Guang's hair was disheveled and couldn't see the expression on his face, and a group of people were all pushed and knelt on the cold hard land in front of the battle.
A soldier with a loud voice rode out and shouted at the city head: "Listen to the people on the city! Especially Jiang Jinshi! Look at who this is! Open the city and surrender quickly, and you can keep the lives of your relatives! If you are still stubborn, I will behead these people in front of the battle immediately!" ===== CHAPTER 213 =====
