Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

Chapter 456 Controlling Wuwei

The next morning, Chen Yang saw that they had built fifty ladders, and the quality was checked again, which proved that they did not dare to be perfunctory and had the potential to be cannon fodder.

"General, are you satisfied with this..." Art asked cautiously.

"You did a good job, now gather everyone and go to attack the city with me." Chen Yang nodded.

Art didn't dare to ask any more questions. After a while, all the horse thieves stood neatly in front of Chen Yang.

Chen Yang's cavalry was ready to go, and they all went straight to Wuwei.

"Set up the ladder, Art, you climb up first, the crossbowmen are going to interfere under the city."

Chen Yang shouted: "Do it, attack the city!"

Art is very clear that his people are basically acting as cannon fodder to attack the city like this, but he dare not disobey.

There are not many guards in Wuwei, and their discipline is not strict. When they saw the sudden horse thief, they were all stunned for a moment, wondering when the horse thief would be so bold and dare to attack the city?

Then, the sound of neat horseshoes sounded, and they finally realized that things were not that simple.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The guards of Wuwei shouted loudly.

Art and the others set up the ladder and quickly climbed up. The enemy soldiers on the tower quickly counterattacked.

Below the city tower, the crossbowmen among the cavalry were also ready, firing all the crossbow arrows to suppress the enemy soldiers on the tower, and the horse thieves continued to climb up.

The speed of those horse thieves was quite fast. After a while, some people who were not afraid of death climbed onto the tower.

Undoubtedly, there was only one of him, and he was killed as soon as he went up, but the people behind him continued to climb up one after another.

Art wanted to express himself in front of Chen Yang, so he had to be even more fearless of death, so he climbed to the top of the tower and shouted, "Kill!"

The rest of the horse thieves responded one after another, and they were a little bit red-eyed. These people are desperadoes in the first place, don't kill them, they are more ruthless than anyone else.

"Zilong, go and help Art attack the city, and open the city gate as soon as possible."

Seeing that the horse thief had arrived on the tower, Chen Yang ordered.

Zhao Yunfei got off his horse and climbed up the ladder.

Xia Houheng and Cao Fu hesitated for a while, unable to bear the loneliness, they also followed.

As more and more horse thieves climbed up the tower, and Zhao Yun commanded the attack, the situation was quickly reversed, making it more difficult for Wuwei's guards to cope and resist.

Zhao Yun was extremely brave, and with his own strength, he pierced through the defenses on the top of the tower and went all the way to the bottom of the tower.

"Open the city gate and let the general enter the city!" Zhao Yun said loudly.

A group of horse thieves took control of the city gate, and after a while, the city gate opened.

Chen Yang waved his whip and led the cavalry, rushing in one after another. Wuwei's guards wanted to block them, but they were no match for the cavalry, and they were killed in the blink of an eye.

The siege war lasted until noon that day, and Wuwei City was completely captured by Chen Yang.

The ordinary people in the city were all panicked, wondering how Chen Yang would treat them.

Chen Yang didn't mean to do anything to ordinary people, he wasn't that cruel, he just took full control of Wuwei's government and military affairs, and ignored those who fled the city to inform Han Sui.

Because what he wanted was this effect.

The Wuwei guards who were willing to surrender were all recruited by Chen Yang and joined Art's horse thieves, and Art was in charge.

Art can be said to be proud of the spring breeze, and he doesn't need to be a horse thief, but he can also get a regular position and officially become a regular.

Although being by Chen Yang's side is like being cannon fodder, having Chen Yang as a solid backing is more comfortable than living with a horse thief who never stopped.

"Yun Chang, tomorrow morning, you can lead Art's men to leave Wuwei to take down Lingju, can you do it?"

After regaining Wuwei, Chen Yang opened a military map and asked him about a city in the north.

Lingju is in the north of Wuwei, a city close to the southern Huns. As long as Lingju is taken down and echoed with Wuwei from north to south, Ma Teng and his retreat can be cut off.

In this way, Ma Teng and Han Sui would panic and dare not do anything to Chang'an.

"If we lose, I would like to raise my head to see the general." Guan Yu accepted the order.

"it is good!"

Chen Yang said again: "Zilong, with two thousand cavalry, can you take down Zhangye in the west?"

Zhangye, west of Wuwei, is an important city in Liangzhou. It is located in the middle of the Hexi Corridor and has the reputation of being on the south of the Yangtze River.

Because Zhang Ye was more important, Chen Yang asked Zhao Yun to lead his elite soldiers there. Although the number was small, they were not weak, and Zhao Yun's bravery, they were enough.

"No problem!" Zhao Yun nodded solemnly.

The next morning, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun left Wuwei at the same time.

Sun Shangxiang and the others still have a thousand beauty troops left behind to cooperate with Wuwei's original guard army to guard Wuwei.

After Guan Yu and the others left, it would take several days to come back, but according to Chen Yang's thinking, victory was certain, so he didn't have to worry too much.

The most important thing at present is how to use Wuwei.

However, on the second day after Zhao Yun and Guan Yu left, several families in Wuwei saw that Chen Yang was single and weak, and even joined forces to resist Chen Yang.

Perhaps it was because they felt that Chen Yang was left with only a group of women, and they would definitely be vulnerable. Several big families even gathered more than 1000 people to deal with Chen Yang.

Sun Shangxiang led the troops to resist and crushed them into a state of disrepute. He just took this opportunity to completely liquidate all the powers of the aristocratic families in the city.

Then, no one in Wuwei City dared to resist anymore, because all those who resisted died.

"Husband, these aristocratic families are really hateful, look at the food they hoard!"

Sun Shangxiang forcibly broke into the mansion of an aristocratic family, killed those who resisted, and forcibly opened their granary, but saw a mountain of grain piled inside.

In the city of Wuwei, ordinary people were sallow and emaciated from hunger, but the gentry from aristocratic families were as full as they could eat.

The wine and meat of the wealthy family stinks, and the road is frozen to death, which is similar to the current situation.

"It is very common for the gentry to exploit ordinary people. This phenomenon can be seen everywhere in the big Han."

Chen Yang looked at the food, and said again: "The food can be used to help the people in the city. In a few days, the enemy will attack us, so we must gather people's hearts in advance and prepare for resistance."

Sun Shangxiang thought it was necessary to prepare in advance, so she called Lu Lingqi over and began to distribute food.

The three of Xia Houheng and the others announced the news of the food, and at noon, all the people gathered in front of the government office.

Hearing that the new rulers in Wuwei had cleaned up all those aristocratic families and distributed food, they didn't believe it at first, and came to the government office with the mentality of watching the excitement. They rushed over to receive them together.

"Fuck!"

Cao Fu drew his sword out of its sheath and shouted: "All of you go to line up for me, whoever dares to make trouble, I will chop you off with one knife, go to line up!"

Seeing his ferocious appearance, the people were scared and lined up in an orderly manner.

All the people who received the food were grateful to Chen Yang and the others.

"General, there are still a lot of people in Wuwei. Wouldn't it be a waste to use so much food to help them?" Cao Fu asked incomprehensibly.

"It will not be wasted, and the effect will be seen soon, just wait!"

Chen Yang said confidently: "There are so many people in Wuwei, and there are also many young and middle-aged people. They can make good use of them."
