From Soldier To Emperor

There are too many ways to win over civilian geniuses, and the common and strong ones are the teacher-student relationship and marriage.

In ancient times, it was normal for children from poor backgrounds to marry a young lady!

As a result, there were not many commoner geniuses, and they were drawn in as soon as they appeared, and the class of intellectuals was firmly in the hands of the gentry class!

Of course, in Anguo Mansion, most of the civil servants came out of Han Chinese gentry families, and the rest also had various close interest relationships with the local Han gentry class.

Only the military attache level was not infiltrated by the Han gentry class seriously. The reason is very simple. The children of the gentry family are rich in clothes and food, and only when they are brainstorming do they join the Tang army on the battlefield!

This is not an era of peace, but an era of frequent wars and less lives than dogs!

Even if the children of the gentry were practicing martial arts, they would often act as the leader of the guards of the family, instead of joining the army on the battlefield and fighting the greens...

At best, the gentry class spends a lot of money to buy the chief officers in the army, just like Gongsun Kangan bought Xue Mingzhi and Yin Liren bought Long Liguo.

As for the middle and low-level military officers, in the eyes of the gentry class, they have no value in buying, and their death rate is too high!

And there is not much right...

After all, the guards of the gentry's family were better able to fight than the county soldiers and officials!

It's a pity that Tao Anbang underestimated the concept of the gentry class of Anguo House to protect the supremacy!

The most important thing is that the gentry class in Gaoxiang County is now living well. Although they have been deprived of their power in the government, they still have the same basic land property. Even the preferential treatment of taxes has not been banned by Richard!

Richard still collects the land tax according to the previous poll tax method!

Under such circumstances, the gentry class's determination to resist desperately is naturally not strong. Even if a few landlord families are unhappy with Richard, thanks to Richard Lien's success in battle, they dare not bet their wealth and life.

They are different from Tao Anbang. After Tao Anbang surrenders, it is no longer a jealousy. Even if Richard is magnanimous, it is impossible to let Tao Anbang retain his original position. It is inevitable that his soldiers will be split and absorbed. Tao Anbang The best end is to be placed in a prominent position without real power, and to be confessed as an example of surrendering and receiving preferential treatment...

Similar in nature to the current Gongsun Kangan and Yin Liren.

Therefore, Tao Anbang is naturally unwilling to surrender, but this group of landlord and gentry loses most of the way of the government. They themselves are not high in power and lose much, so why should they accompany Tao Anbang to die together?

The result is self-evident. After the discussion, Tao Anbang was very dissatisfied!

He also has no good way. If he is allowed to attack Gaoxiang County now, it will be no problem to attack, but then he will be completely torn apart with Richard, there is no room for circle, and there is no way for him to surrender...

As for the expansion of troops and preparations, Tao Anbang has no confidence at all. Before facing the main force of the State Palace of History, he had no hope of saving his life by pulling on the rebels of Richard, regardless of previous suspicion. Now, which ally can he still draw on?

Kang Guofu?

The main force of Kang Guofu has already joined the war of the four towns of Anxi!

When Tao Anbang was struggling to save himself, Richard, who had been searching for the strong and strong, had already come to the city of Shiguo Mansion.

At this time, Richard's command not only had more than 3,000 fully armored Ming army camps and 3,000 system headquarters troops.

There are thousands of cannon fodder!

These Semu people’s cannon fodder is not as good as the Semu servant army who has experience in combat, but Richard mixed the captured Semu servant army with these Semu cannon fodder, and pulled them out one-on-one in the manner of an'veteran' leading a farmer. More than fifteen thousand troops!

An army of this size immediately ate Richard, who had captured the abundant food and grass, into a pauper...

Now Richard knows why the various ambassadors of the Anxi Protectorate are generally unwilling to draw out too many cannon fodder. As the number of people rises, the food consumption is too terrible!

However, there are also advantages to having more people. It only took one day for Richard to build enough siege ladders.

Subsequently, Richard sent an envoy to persuade Shi Guofu.

The conditions that Richard gave were very simple. As long as he surrendered, he could guarantee that the Zhaowu family would not die a single person, and could retain part of the real estate and all the floating wealth.

Of course, Richard only gave guarantees on property and life. As for the forces cultivated by the Zhaowu family in the government and the army, they will naturally be banned!

The Zhaowu clan has now defeated the battle, and it would be good to have this end. If the Zhaowu clan does not have the support of the Tufan Kingdom behind it, perhaps he would really agree to Richard's agreement to persuade him to surrender!

When Richard's army arrived at the Shiguo Mansion and sent an envoy to persuade him to surrender, Zhaowu Dizhe was talking to an emissary from the Tufan Kingdom.

"Will the reinforcements of the Turpan Kingdom really arrive in a day?"

"Of course, I won't lie to you about this kind of news~www.wuxiahere.com~ As long as you persist in resisting one day and one night in Shi Guofu, once the army arrives, Zhaowu Family will still be the heaven of Shi Guofu!

Moreover, King Tufan has issued a decree that the Zhaowu family can stay in the Shiguo Mansion forever. "

After Zhaowu Dizhe got the definite answer, he gritted his teeth and replied: "I know, I will definitely delay one day!"

After discussing with the secret envoy, Zhaowu Dizhe personally met with the envoy sent by Richard and politely invited the other party to have a'big meal.' No matter what the envoy said, the people of the Zhaowu clan welcomed him with smiles.

However, when the persuasion envoy proposed to immediately put down their weapons and open the city gate, the people of the Zhaowu clan always found various excuses to shirk. Of course, they did not refuse, but cited a lot of examples that it took time to convince other people in the city. ...

In short, his words are well-founded, his attitude is respectful, and he is grateful for Dade after losing Richard's persuasion...

When the envoy to persuade the surrender to tell Richard these words, Richard, who was just ready to attack the city, snorted coldly.

He didn't guess the Zhaowu clan's procrastination plan, he just felt that the Zhaowu clan was shameless!

When I don’t know that Shi Guofu is the Zhaowu family’s say?

If you don't open the city gate, it won't give me the face of Richard. What's the use of this kind of family?

So Richard directly ordered the sound of the horn of siege!

Zhaowu Dizhe, who had originally had a good talk with the envoy who persuades the surrender, respectfully sent him away, thinking that he was infallible, Suddenly heard the continuous attack horn sounded outside the city, his complexion suddenly became pale!

"Richard is so shameless!"

Zhaowu Dizhe cursed in spite of his face, and then the members of the Zhaowu family hurriedly put on armor, and commanded the soldiers to prepare for battle on the head of the city...

Now that Richard has the initiative, the Zhaowu family can only bite the bullet and accept the move...
