C2868 Take over the County
Because the army had entered the city, and because some of the surrendered soldiers had turned to attack their former comrades, the battlefield had become extremely chaotic.
At this moment, Jiang Ting didn't fight for the credit. He just stood on the war chariot outside the city and watched quietly.
About fifteen minutes later.
The shouts of killing gradually died down. Clearly, the power of the county city's resistance was nearing its end as it was being cleansed.
"General, apart from an extremely small number of rebels who entered the houses and courtyards of many civilians to hide, the county city has no more resistance." Lu Yuan and the other two brought many generals and quickly approached.
The underlying meaning of their words was that they had taken down the county city.
"That's right." Jiang Ting praised.
Lu Yuan and the other two smiled.
After a while, a Jiang Ting who did not know his name frowned. "General," he said. Even though the county city is in control, there are still a lot of rich and powerful families. When we were fighting just now, we carefully checked the city guards. They were the soldiers of the magistrate court and the newly recruited soldiers. The courtyards of the aristocratic families did not appear at all. These aristocratic families did not resist. We were unable to attack them. "
Another general nodded. "That's right... there are too many aristocratic families in the city. If we frame them, there will be too many flaws."
Jiang Ting frowned. He knew what the general meant.
The power of the aristocratic families was not low. At least, it would not be difficult for each family to gather a few hundred guards. There was no reason for them to act. The county city would definitely be in turmoil.
After pondering for a while, Jiang Ting said softly, "Let's go." How many families are there in this county city?"
As he spoke, Jiang Ting saw that the flag that belonged to Zhao had been cut off and a banner with the word 'Jiang' had been erected on the city wall.
Xie Hong was the first to speak, "Five."
"So many? Jiang Ting's eyes were filled with surprise. He had thought that there were only three of them.
After all, no matter where it was, three tripod cauldrons were the best. Three tripod cauldrons could ensure that unless one had an overwhelming advantage. Otherwise, no clan would dare to unveil the flames of war ahead of time in order to avoid being the one to reap the benefits.
In the end, there were actually five here?
It should be said that it was indeed worthy of being a county city.
After pondering for a while, Jiang Ting raised his head. "Han Zhuo!"
"Yes, General." "General Han Zhuo," Jiang Ting said.
Jiang Ting looked at him and said after a while, "It seems that you have not fought in this battle."
Han Zhuo did not kill anyone who attacked the county city. He did not even get close to the county city. He just watched from afar.
... "" After a moment of silence, Han Zhuo knelt on one knee. "The county city is after all the hometown of this lowly general. Even if this lowly general does not make a move, the general can easily take down the county city. I hope that the general can atone for his crimes."
With the army in front of them, it was naturally impossible for them to stay alone like they did when they were alone. ... Everything had to be done according to military discipline.
Looking at Jiang Ting again, he pondered for a while. He said softly, "According to our habits. That part of the hidden rebel army will definitely try to seek help from the aristocratic families or find a way to escape."
"General, don't worry. With the Xuan Qing Guards, they won't be able to cause any trouble." A man who wasn't wearing armor spoke with respect.
If one looked carefully, who else could it be if it wasn't Chu Bai?
Speaking up to this point, one couldn't help but mention that in the past half a year, Su Jiu had established a special force, the Profound Clarity Guard.
The Profound Purity Guards were not soldiers, and they only had three thousand people. They were personally managed by Su Jiu, and each person was personally selected by Su Jiu. All of them were first-rate experts, and they were temporarily skilled in gathering information.
Once the forces increased, all sorts of troublesome matters might appear, and there might be deception. So the Profound Purity Guards had appeared as well.2
On the other hand, the two people who followed Jiang Ting earlier, Chu Bai and Qi Feng, were in the depths of the upper echelons of the Xuanqing Guards as well. Of course, although Su Jiu was in charge, the original intention of the Profound Purity Guards was to let Jiang Ting personally take charge of it.
Unfortunately, Jiang Ting was not interested in these things, so Su Jiu was always in charge.
He looked at Jiang Ting again and sized up Chu Bai. After thinking for a while, he opened his mouth and said, "Han Zhuo."
"I'm here." Han Zhuo hurriedly replied.
Jiang Ting tilted his head slightly. "You should know my character. No matter what city I am in, I only need a family to take care of it for the time being. As for the future, even if I need to support the rise of new aristocratic families, Then I will only support the Humble Class, Not an old family. "
"Understood." Han Zhuo's heart immediately turned cold... He knew that even though the county city had been destroyed, it did not mean that the blood would stop.
The county city would be subjected to another purge, a purge aimed at the aristocratic families.
As if he knew what Jiang Ting was thinking, Jiang Ting spoke slowly. "You have been by my side for a long time. I think you know that I do not like to play tricks with the aristocratic families the most."
"Understood." Han Zhuo exhaled slightly, suppressing the uneasiness in his heart.
Jiang Ting waved his hand and said, "Let's go to County Governor Manor. I will give you the right to mobilize your troops as you wish. I will give you another 500 Xuan Qing Guards. "Half a month. Half a month later. In this county city, I only need one family. As for which family is left, you can decide for yourself. I only want the family left behind... Know your place, and know your place."
"According to Jiang Ting's division of the army, one army is one thousand men, and the two armies are two thousand soldiers!
"It is not Jiang Ting's character to do everything himself. He just needs to leave some unimportant aristocratic families to his subordinates. He wasn't alone. Why would he need to spend so much effort?
As for supporting Han Zhuo's bloodline as the main branch, and making Han Zhuo the main branch's family head and patriarch... was this really difficult? Jiang Ting had given him two thousand soldiers and five hundred Xuan Qing Guards, but he was still unable to deal with them... a piece of trash did not have the qualifications to occupy a high position.
The war chariot slowly entered the city. Under the protection of the soldiers, it headed towards County Governor Manor.
"Half a month. Looking at Jiang Ting's back, Han Zhuo's expression darkened.
There were five families in the city. The four families that had been purged could not attack without reason. That would affect Jiang Ting's reputation. He needed a reason to do so.
Reason... It was not difficult to find a reason. As long as he could make the Han family only have his voice, he could use the Han family's records to find a reason to clean the four families.
"Brother Han Zhuo, even though Young Master approved five hundred Xuanqing Guards, it's just that you're aware that our Xuanqing Guards practically didn't have any foundation in the County City before this."
Along with his words, Chu Bai and Qi Feng approached with helpless expressions. "There are only less than twenty internal guards in the city at present, and the remaining people would need at least ten days to rush over."
Han Zhuo instantly came back to his senses. He looked at the two of them and only spoke after a long time. "This is something that the young master personally ordered. It has delayed the young master's great matter. Even if I am severely punished, the two of you will probably be implicated as well. After all, apart from Miss Su Jiu, the Profound Purity Guards are currently the ones with the greatest influence."
No matter where they were, there would always be fights.
These people, apart from Su Jiu's training and influence, maintained their loyalty to Jiang Ting. However, as a person, they would have their own selfish motives. If they held a high position, they would definitely start fighting.
For example, at this moment.
Chu Bai and Qi Feng's expressions darkened.
However, these were all under Jiang Ting and Su Jiu's control. If all of their subordinates only had one voice, Well, either those people are just puppets without thought.
Or, those people were deceiving them!
The reason why people were humans was because they were unpredictable!
