The Bad Guys: Their understanding is beyond belief, shocking the Bad Guys

Shanzhou City.

Chen Wentao, the governor of Shanzhou, was standing on the city wall, supervising his men in building defensive fortifications.

In order to ensure that Shanzhou City could be defended, he not only ordered people to build city gates outside several entrances and exits of the city.

At the same time, he ordered people to dig deep pits and set traps under the city.

Faced with the large army of Qi State, the troops of Shanzhou alone could not resist at all.

So he had no choice but to strengthen the city defenses and hold on to Shanzhou City until rescue.

"Sir." Zheng Dalong, the commander of Shanzhou City, walked over quickly.

His face was extremely serious. "Tongzhou and Huazhou have fallen, and the Qi army has already reached Tongguan."

Chen Wentao looked at the hard-working soldiers under the city and asked, "Can Tongguan be defended?"

"It's hard to say. There are many experts in the Qi army. Even General Wang Yanzhang couldn't last more than three rounds against the opponent's left vanguard officer." Zheng Dalong said.

"Where is General Wang Yanzhang?"

"General Wang Yanzhang was seriously injured and has led his troops to retreat to Tongguan."

Chen Wentao sighed, "Tongguan is easy to defend but difficult to attack. With General Wang Yanzhang here, it shouldn't be that easy to break through."

"Report!"

A soldier quickly ran up to the two men and handed a secret letter to Chen Wentao.

Chen Wentao had a bad feeling.

He opened the secret letter and looked up, and suddenly he staggered and almost fainted.

"Sir!" Zheng Dalong quickly supported Chen Wentao's body, "What's wrong?"

After Chen Wentao stood firm, he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Tongguan... is lost!"

"Ah!?" Zheng Dalong's eyes widened. "How could it be so fast?"

"Ugh......"

Chen Wentao shook his head. He didn't know the specific reason.

He said to Zheng Dalong: "If Tongguan is lost, Shanzhou will have to face the 200,000 troops of Qi directly."

After all, Shanzhou is not a border town of Daliang, and there are not many soldiers inside.

In addition, Zhu Wen had been busy enjoying himself over the years and had not put much effort into commanding the army.

Therefore, the armies in various places were in a semi-paralyzed state. They had no combat effectiveness at all. It was only a matter of time before Shanzhou was captured.

"Captain Zheng, do your best. If it is impossible, then..."

"Ugh......"

Chen Wentao sighed and shook his head, and handed the task of supervising the construction of defensive fortifications to Zheng Wenlong. He immediately returned to the city to contact the wealthy families in the city to seek their help.

In the late Tang Dynasty, almost all wealthy families kept some private soldiers.

Some brave ones even hide armor.

Therefore, if we could get their help, perhaps Shanzhou City could be defended longer.

Chen Wentao walked on the streets in the city.

To be honest, he really wanted to open the city gate and surrender.

When Chen Wentao was young, his family was very poor and he and his family often went hungry because of lack of food.

In order to survive, his parents cruelly sold his two sisters to wealthy families as slaves.

The money he earned improved his life a little and also gave him the opportunity to go to school.

Fortunately, Chen Wentao studied very hard and did not disappoint his parents' high hopes.

However, because his family was too poor, he suffered discrimination from other students around him during his school years.

But he didn't care at all. Instead, he worked even harder. Finally, he passed the imperial examination and had a bright future.

Unfortunately...it was because his family was poor and had no money to bribe officials in the Ministry of Personnel.

However, the Ministry of Personnel only appointed him to a minor official position.

And the position that should have belonged to him was bought by those who failed to pass the imperial examination but were willing to spend money.

It’s sad to think about it.

Later, if Zhu Wen had not usurped power, many officials who had originally held high positions would have been killed.

In addition, he had saved enough money to bribe the officials of the Ministry of Personnel of the new dynasty in Daliang, otherwise he would have no chance of becoming the governor of Shanzhou City.

Thinking of this, Chen Wentao couldn't help but shook his head again.

Whether it is the Tang Dynasty or Daliang, they are all the same, there is no hope at all!

Chen Wentao went straight to a powerful family in the city.

The family's surname is Qian, and people give them the nickname "Qian Mancang", which means that their wealth is enough to fill a barn.

The Qian family is extremely powerful.

Most of his descendants held high positions in the Daliang court.

In the countryside, they also raised a large number of private soldiers.

The purpose of Chen Wentao's trip was to get those private soldiers.

He was confident that he could hold out until reinforcements arrived.

However, what Chen Wentao never expected was.

The Qian family's gatekeepers saw that he came empty-handed and didn't even open the door for him.

He was a poor man, and even though he had been the governor of a state over the years, he had never embezzled money or grain, nor had he exploited the people. Naturally, he had nothing to show for himself.

That's why I came here empty-handed.

But, he was the governor of a state after all, and how could a mere palace guard dare to treat him like this.

Chen Wentao was somewhat exasperated.

now.

All the dissatisfaction towards the powerful families that had been lingering in his heart for many years burst out.

Why don't these powerful forces disappear?

Maybe Huang Chao didn’t kill enough people back then!

It should be like mowing the grass, mow it as it grows!

"Pooh!"

Chen Wentao spat at the gate of Qian's house and then returned to his own house.

Since these people don't care, there's no point for him to guard it.

When the Qi army arrives at the gates of the city, he will just open the gate and surrender.

I heard that the general of the Qi State is a heroic ruler and he will surely not treat me unfairly.

......

Tongguan.

Wang Yanzhang, a fierce general from Daliang, had a fawning smile on his face.

He knelt in front of Su Qingjue and tried his best to explain to him the deployment of Daliang's troops.

no way.

He who knows the current affairs is a hero!

Wang Yanzhang originally wanted to use the dangerous terrain of Tongguan to stop the army of Qi.

But it turned out that he thought too much.

Although Tongguan is dangerous, it can only stop ordinary people.

For a great master like Su Qingjue, it is actually no different from being on flat ground.

At that time, Wang Yanzhang was on the top of the city wall confronting the warrior who had seriously injured him before.

The next moment, he suddenly felt a chill on his back, as if there was a murderous aura coming.

When he turned around, all the soldiers around him had fallen to the ground.

And the rumored general of Qi State was standing not far away, looking at him indifferently.

Not only that, Wang Yanzhang raised his head and looked up at the sky.

He saw a fire dragon staring at him.

At the critical moment of life and death, Wang Yanzhang made what he thought was the most correct decision.

surrender!
