Chapter 162 The superior attacks his heart
Attacking the city with the power to capture the four prefectures, even if the city of Yanjing is tall and spacious, it is difficult to defeat the Qi army at this time.
Zhou Yu stood in the middle, with a firm command, and his 500,000 troops began to attack the city step by step according to the instructions. To attack a strong city like Yanjing City, it is unrealistic to break the city in the first attack. No novel would dare to be written like this.
However, Zhou Yu had sufficient experience in siege and knew how to capture Yanjing City.
Coming with momentum and suppressing each other with strength, as long as he gives Yanjing City enough pressure, I am afraid that it won’t be long before the Yan army’s momentum will be completely defeated. And those aristocratic families in Yanjing City probably don’t want to give the Yan Kingdom Bury with me, a strong fortress can always be opened from the inside, Zhou Yu is not in a hurry.
The most important thing is that he is not the only one attacking the city.
There are four major aristocratic families in Qi State, and Yan State is naturally no exception. There are six major aristocratic families that suppress both inside and outside the court.
There has always been a saying in the Yan Kingdom that the Wang family will produce the prime minister, the Li family will produce the Taiwei, the Yuan family will be in charge of horse administration, the Liu family will be in charge of iron affairs, the Baili family will be in charge of grain administration, and the Qiu family will be in charge of salt administration.
This sentence is also easy to understand.
The Yan Kingdom has gone through four dynasties up to this generation of King Yan. In two of them, the prime ministers came from the Wang family. The prime ministers of this dynasty also came from the Wang family. The two dynasties that date back to the dynasty were all at the lowest level of the Six Ministers. Yes, it can be said that the Wang family has always been the number one family in the court. At least three-quarters of the civil servants in the court are disciples and former officials of the Wang family.
The Li family had many generals, and the head of the Li family was the first Taiwei of the Yan Kingdom. It was even more exaggerated later. In the four dynasties, all the Taiwei belonged to the Li family, and all the children of the Li family were Most of the generals, military and horse power of the Yan State are in the hands of the Li family. The status of the Li family is actually the same as that of the Zhou family of Qi State.
Horse administration, salt administration, iron administration, and grain administration have always been the pillar industries of various countries. Eighty to ninety percent of a country's income may come from this.
Nowadays, the four political affairs of the Yan Kingdom are controlled by the Yuan family, the Liu family, the Baili family, and the Qiu family respectively.
This shows how powerful these four great families are.
As the saying goes, a century-old dynasty is a thousand-year-old family. A dynasty may only last a few hundred years at most, but aristocratic families are different. Many aristocratic families on the mainland today came from the Great Xia Dynasty, let alone the Great Xia Dynasty. There are also aristocratic families that have been around for thousands or ten thousand years. The background of these aristocratic families is sometimes even more terrifying than the dynasty.
In the eyes of these aristocratic families, they always put their own safety first and make choices among their families. These aristocratic families will definitely push the dynasty into the abyss without hesitation, and they will step on the corpses to maintain the glory of the aristocratic family.
At this time, the Yan State is in danger. Anyone can see that it is only a matter of time before the city of Yanjing is destroyed. In this case, will these aristocratic families die with the Yan State and be buried with the Yan State? That's certainly impossible.
Wangfu.
"Who the hell are you?"
Wang Ling, the prime minister of the Yan Kingdom, looked at the person who suddenly appeared in front of him and couldn't help but his face darkened. He was at the peak of the Sun Travel Realm, but this guy in front of him could appear in front of him without making a sound. This was very scary. In the end, They must be at least at the peak of the Heavenly Realm, or even higher. At this time, when such a person suddenly appeared in the palace, even Wang Ling was a little frightened.
However, as the prime minister of a country, Wang Ling has his own magnanimity.
Even though he was feeling uneasy, there was no hint of timidity on his face. He knew that since the person in front of him didn't attack him right away, he definitely didn't want to kill him. At least he wouldn't kill him without communicating. In this case, It's easy to say that Wang Ling considers himself to be extremely knowledgeable and confident that he can handle most situations with his sharp tongue.
"The deputy commander of Jinyiwei, Qinglong, has met Mr. Wang."
Jinyiwei!
Wang Ling couldn't help but shrink his eyes when he heard this. Although Jin Yiwei's reputation was just beginning to show, as Wang Ling was the prime minister of Yan State, it was still the time of the war between Yan and Qi. How could Wang Ling not understand Qi State's now famous Jin Yiwei. As a second-grade unit, Jin Yiwei It can be said that his status is only below the Sixth Division, and the authority of the Jinyiwei may even exceed the Sixth Division in terms of actual power.
It is self-evident how terrifying it is to have such a sword in the hands of the King of Qi, and a sword that may fall on the heads of officials and subjects of Qi at any time.
The highest ranking members of the Jinyiwei are the commander Lu Bing and the deputy commander Qinglong White Tiger Suzaku Xuanwu.
And Qinglong is the first among the four deputy commanders. In other words, the person who appears in front of him is the second-ranking person in Jin Yiwei.
With a roll of his eyes, Wang Ling almost knew the purpose of Qinglong's appearance. It was obvious that Yanjing was in danger and Jin Yiwei appeared first.
There was a bit of a smile on his face, and he actually took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Qinglong.
"It's an honor for me to see Commander Qinglong in person. I've heard about Commander Qinglong's name for a long time. I'm so lucky to see you. Please sit down and talk in detail."
In fact, even if the Jin Yiwei doesn't come, Wang Ling will have to find a way out for the Wang family. Now that the Jin Yiwei has appeared, it is not a bad thing for Wang Ling, and he may be able to get some better conditions.
Although the King of Yan said that the Zhou Dynasty would definitely not ignore the Yan Kingdom, the city of Yanjing was about to be destroyed, maybe today or tomorrow. At this time, it would not be in line with the style of their family to place their hopes on the Zhou Dynasty. It would be better to ask for help. To ask themselves, they must sell themselves at a good price when the interest rate is the highest. Now it seems that the bidder has finally come.
"I have also heard of Mr. Wang's name for a long time. No, the commander has an order, so I took the initiative to apply."
Wang Ling and Qinglong looked at each other and smiled. They both said that Jin Yiwei was killing people like crazy and was just a sword without emotion. Now it seems that this is not a cold and sharp sword, but a cunning sword.
"I wonder if Commander Qinglong is on this trip?"
Wang Ling did not fight with Qinglong. If they were of equal status, he would definitely take the initiative and let the other party reveal his purpose first. But now the status of Yan State and Qi State are different. Who knows whether Jin Yiwei is just He came to find himself, most likely, he recommended others. If the roles were reversed, Wang Ling would probably have sent someone to appear among the six major families.
It is not that there are no talented people in Qi State. In other words, it is very likely that people from other aristocratic families have already talked to Jin Yiwei. If the other aristocratic families agree to something first, the value of the Wang family will be lower. Therefore, Time is also important. It is best to finalize it as soon as possible. Wang Ling does not think that the other five major families will have such backbone.
Qinglong smiled when he heard this, "Of course I'm here to save Mr. Wang and the Wang family."
