On the official road, the person leading the troops was Xia Houhu.
He is here with two thousand soldiers.
When Wang Qi defeated Jin Yulong and led his army to Kaiyang County, he considered Bai Boshan's defeat. It would be best if Bai Boshan was killed on the spot.
What if Bai Boshan escapes?
If Baibo Mountain wants to retreat, where will they evacuate?
It must be Haiqu County.
Wang Qi had early asked Xia Houhu to take two thousand people and take a detour to the direction outside the east city of Kaiyang County. As long as Bai Boshan comes, Xiahou Hu can just sit back and wait.
Xiahou Hu saw an army coming. He didn't know Baibo Mountain, but he knew the name of Baibo Mountain. He took a breath and shouted: "Baibo Mountain, Xiahou Hu has been waiting here for a long time. Dismount and surrender, otherwise, he will be killed without mercy."
Bai Boshan looked at the officers and soldiers blocking him in front.
He looked behind him again.
There are not many soldiers behind him. But even so, more than a thousand and nearly two thousand people escaped.
There is still a certain amount of combat effectiveness.
Bai Boshan¡¯s heart was naturally unwilling to evacuate.
He wants revenge!
He is going to kill Wang Qi!
It is even more necessary to kill the four major families in Kaiyang County. If the four major families had not rebelled and got involved with Wang Qi, the losses in this battle would not have been so huge.
Bai Boshan gritted his teeth and ordered: "Kill, kill me."
As long as Bai Boshan breaks out of the siege and comes under Liang Chenxiang's command, he will still have a chance to rise.
As long as a person is alive, there is always a chance.
After Bai Boshan gave the order, his soldiers rushed forward.
Xia Houhu¡¯s eyes were as sharp as lightning. In an instant, he was already staring at Bai Boshan. If Bai Boshan didn't speak, he wouldn't know who Bai Boshan was.
Because Bai Boshan gave the order, when Xia Houhu saw it, he picked up the long iron stick in his hand and ordered: "Kill me!"
Drive! !
Xiahouhu clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and the man had already rushed out.
He carried a long stick and headed straight for Baibo Mountain.
Bai Boshan saw Xiahou Hu rushing towards him. Although he was a general, he also knew some martial arts. But Hou Hu was tall and strong, and he looked like a master at first glance, so Bai Boshan immediately ordered his guards to stop him.
The personal guards of Bai Boshan are brave soldiers.
These soldiers took the initiative to greet Xiahou Hu and fought in front of Xiahou Hu, preparing to stop Xiahou Hu. Xia Houhu swung the long iron stick in his hand and swept it out fiercely.
boom! boom! !
The iron rod hit the soldier.
Immediately, the men fell over and the two guards fell to the ground, vomiting blood and died.
Xiahou Hu's eyes widened and he rushed towards Baibo Mountain. Although some personal guards came to stop him again, in front of Xia Houhu's iron rod, Bai Boshan's personal guards were as if they were made of paper.
In the blink of an eye, he was killed directly.
In just a few moments, Xiahou Hu had already reached Bai Boshan.
The iron rod rose and fell.
Bai Boshan immediately turned his horse around and tried to escape. However, the falling iron rod was impartial and hit Bai Boshan's shoulder. When the rod fell, his shoulder blades shattered and the iron rod continued to fall.
Under the ferocious force, the internal organs were immediately shattered.
Poof!
Bai Boshan spat out a mouthful of blood.
He immediately fell to the ground.
There is no breath left.
After Xia Houhu killed Bai Boshan with one move, he shouted: "Bai Boshan is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed."
"Baibo Mountain is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed!"
The soldiers around Xia Houhu started shouting.
Originally, the soldiers around Bai Boshan had been defeated and lost all their fighting spirit after experiencing the previous battle to break the city. At this moment, after Bai Boshan was killed, the morale of the army completely collapsed, and no one was willing to resist anymore.
One by one, the soldiers knelt down and surrendered.
No one is willing to resist anymore.
Xia Houhu didn't take care of some of the fleeing soldiers. He just detained the surrendering soldiers and killed the resisting soldiers.
In less than half an hour, the fighting was over.
Not a single soldier on Xiahou Hu¡¯s side was injured or killed.
More than 300 Baiboshan soldiers were killed, and more than 1,400 were captured.
Xia Houhu is escorting peopleThen he went straight back to Kaiyang County.
Xia Houhu arrived at the county seat, met directly with Zhuge Feng, and stationed the army. Then Xia Houhu went straight to the county government office. He looked at Wang Qi and reported: "Sir, I humbly went to ambush Bai Boshan and kill Bai Boshan on the spot."
"Not only that, they also captured more than 1,400 people and killed more than 300 people."
"But some people fled."
Xia Houhu said: "As for our casualties, more than sixty soldiers were injured, but there were no casualties."
Wang Qidao: "Well done."
The results of today¡¯s battle are relatively rich for Wang Qi.
After Xia Houhu handed over, he turned around and left.
Wang Qi looked at the yellow land register and household registration register in the county government office, and took a general look. Because Bai Boshan considers himself the county magistrate, everything in Kaiyang County is pretty good.
The population of Kaiyang County is pretty good, with 18,000 tigers and over 60,000 people.
Of course, the actual population must be more than that.
After all, wealthy families have private soldiers.
Many slaves from aristocratic families have never been registered.
But, there is less land.
Nearly 80% of the entire land in Kaiyang County is in the hands of the four major families. The vast majority of the people live off the land owned by the four major ethnic families.
In troubled times, land annexation is fierce.
When people encounter disasters, they can only live by pawning and selling land at low prices. Once a pawn is pawned, and there is no money to redeem it when the time comes, naturally it cannot be bought back.
The land is sold at a low price, because we can no longer survive, so we can only sell it at a low price.
These lead to the concentration of land.
After reading it, Wang Qi sighed in his heart.
The entire Langya Kingdom is almost in such a situation.
The aristocratic families occupy most of the land.
The land controlled by the government is so small that if the people want to cultivate it, they have to look at the faces of the wealthy families. Especially when leasing land, the annual rent paid is quite large.
"The ones that actually fall into their hands are even fewer. It's good to survive."
Zhuge Feng finished handling the army affairs and had already entered the county government office. He saw Wang Qi's serious face and said, "What's going on? He has a sad face. It's a good thing to take Kaiyang County now!"
Wang Qi handed over the land yellow book and said, "You will know after you take a look."
Zhuge Feng took it over and quickly looked through it. He generally understood it and said, "This is an extremely normal thing. There is nothing we can do about it. The influence of the aristocratic family is too great."
"In fact, this is also a shortcoming accumulated over more than two hundred years in the Zhou Dynasty."
Zhuge Feng said in a deep voice: "Correcting this matter cannot be accomplished overnight. Second brother, if you take this step by step, you will be able to correct these things."
Wang Qidao: "I know, just seeing these makes me feel uncomfortable."
Zhuge Feng said: "This is something that can't be helped."
Wang Qi changed the subject and asked: "How is the situation in the army being handled?"
Zhuge Feng said: "It has been processed, including more than a thousand people who have just been brought back by Xia Houhu, and they have been reorganized. When we were in Linyi County, we reorganized a group of soldiers, and now we have reorganized a group of soldiers from Baibo Mountain."
"Because many soldiers have been eliminated, and many people are unwilling to join the army anymore, the personnel have been streamlined."
"Right now, our military strength has expanded to 10,000 people."
Zhuge Feng said with a smile: "If we don't eliminate some, the number of people will be even greater."
Wang Qi said in a deep voice: "The elite level of the army must be maintained. This is a red line that cannot be crossed. The fewer people there are, the less elite we want."
Zhuge Feng said: "That's true."
Wang Qi said: "Brother, although the banquet tonight is to thank the four major families, I don't think I will be calm."
Zhuge Feng said with a smile: "I also think there will be waves. After all, Bai Boshan died and the post of county magistrate became vacant. People from the four major families will compete for this position. Of course, they may promote one person together." "
After a pause, Zhuge Feng said: "Second brother's plan is to make Li Meng the county magistrate?"
Wang Qi said: "That's right."
Zhuge Feng smiled and said: "This is a good show. I would like to see how these aristocratic families will respond."
Wang Qi also laughed.
In order to fight for power, the aristocratic families will definitely spare no effort.
Li Meng will definitely not give in under Wang Qili¡¯s push.
The conflict between the two sides is interesting.
Zhuge Feng and Wang Qi were chatting, and they were already looking forward to the upcoming conflict in the evening. The calm Kaiyang County should break the deadlock and cannot always be dominated by the four major families.
