Chapter 1071 SF City 3rd Day

No matter what happens in SF City, the sun will still rise the next day!

Only the people of Shunfeng City felt the difference.

Finally settled down!

Since the war broke out between Shun and Qian, Shunfeng City has been greatly affected.

Although the fighting did not affect SF City, it affected the commercial activities of SF City.

After all, not many businessmen would go to the place where the war happened like the businessmen in Zhenman City!

Wherever war breaks out, business will be greatly disrupted.

There are only two industries that may have great development, one is arms and the other is food.

However, these two industries are beyond the scope of ordinary chambers of commerce.

Later, the Suzaku Army invaded Huangshi County, which had a greater impact on SF City. There were fewer caravans coming to SF City, and the income of the people in SF City would be much less.

When the Suzaku Army surrounded Shunfeng City, the people in the city had an even harder life. Not only did they lose their income, they were also afraid all day long that soldiers and bandits would enter the city, and that the soldiers guarding the city would break into their homes and steal all their food.

This morning, as usual, when they quietly passed through the cracks in the door or climbed up the wall to observe the situation on the street, they suddenly found that it had calmed down outside.

There are no more soldiers coming and going on the streets, and there are no chaotic sounds of fighting on the city walls...

Soon, they heard a shout coming from the street, "Commander Zhu Yong of the Zhuque Army ordered that all people in Shunfeng City can freely go to the streets, all shops will resume business, and no one is allowed to carry weapons on the streets..." "

In addition to shouting, Zhu Yong also ordered people to post notices of peace of mind on various main streets.

Zhu Yong did not hold any ceremony to enter the city, nor did he let the people of Shunfeng City welcome him into the city.

He still has a lot to do, and the Suzaku Army will not stay in Shunfeng City for too long.

Whether it will take three to five days or ten and a half months depends on Shun Guo's reaction!

On the other side, Gao Xiang was preparing to support SF City with his 25,000 battalion troops. However, before he even reached SF City, he received information that SF City had been breached by the Suzaku Army!

He's mad!

Are there stupid pigs in SF City?

Thousands of defenders and the help of 200,000 to 300,000 people in the city were unable to hold on for even five days!

"Trash! What a bunch of trash!"

Gao Xiang suddenly felt that it was no wonder that he would be defeated. One Gao Xiang could not save Shunguo. If there were three Gao Xiang in Huangshi County, they might be able to defeat the Suzaku Army!

After learning that Shunfeng City had been captured by the Suzaku Army, Gao Xiang, who had just left the camp, stopped again.

He knew that if he rushed to Shunfeng City as quickly as possible with 25,000 soldiers and horses, there was a high probability that he could snatch Shunfeng City back from the Suzaku Army, which had not yet established a stable foothold.

Unless the Suzaku Army wants to completely capture Huangshi County, they will definitely not defend Shunfeng City.

As long as we rush to SF City as quickly as possible, we can take back SF City. What a great thing!

But Gao Xiang did not do this.

If you go straight to SF City, you will definitely be able to get your ride back with a high probability.

But what if it’s not taken back?

The Suzaku Army didn't want to give up Shunfeng City. If he brought his troops there, would he still have to fight a siege battle with the Suzaku Army?

Someone said, this is not easy, you rush to Shunfeng City with your troops.

If the Suzaku Army has no intention of defending Shunfeng City, you will lead people to retake Shunfeng City;

If the Suzaku Army intends to defend Shunfeng City, then you can pretend to attack the city with your soldiers and horses, and wait until the follow-up reinforcements arrive before storming the city wall to recapture Shunfeng City, right?

This way you have the greatest chance of seizing the city and the least risk!

Gao Xiang: It’s a beautiful thought. You’ve taken advantage of all the good things!

is it possible?

It's okay that he didn't arrive at SF City. He could find countless reasons to explain why he didn't arrive outside SF City in time.

But once he leads his army to Shunfeng City, he must attack the city with all his strength, otherwise he will end badly when King Shun finds out!

Even if King Shun doesn't want to punish him, the ministers in the court will kill him!

So Gao Xiang simply spent more time on the road.

The reason is very easy to find, there is insufficient food and grass, and the information is unknown!

Prevent sneak attacks by dry troops...

As long as you don't go to SF City, you won't be able to find a handle on me!

But staying on the road won't work. The Suzaku Army's occupation of Shunfeng City for too long will make Huangshi County Governor very angry. When the time comes, he will file a complaint against Gao Xiang to King Shun, and Gao Xiang can't stand it either!

Three days to five days!

This is the deadline Gao Xiang set for himself to reach SF City.

Zhu Yong: Gao Xiang is a good comrade. How did he know that we would only stay in SF City for three days? Did he come to SF City to see us off?

Zhu Yong planned to stay in Shunfeng City for three days. Apart from him, only the deputy general and the army commander Shi knew about it, not even the captains.

Gao Xiang and other Shunguo civil servants and generals could not even imagine this.

Who would believe that the Qian army occupied a prosperous and rich city like Shunfeng City and only stayed for three days before leaving?

But this unbelievable thing will happen to the Suzaku Army soon.

Although Zhu Yong did not tell his soldiers that he would leave Shunfeng City in three days, he gave orders to the captains to restore public order in Shunfeng City as quickly as possible and at the same time confiscate some of the family property.

Almost every aristocratic family in the city has contributed people to help defend the city. Now that the Suzaku Army has conquered Shunfeng City, they will not be able to forgive the soldiers who were killed or injured during the siege!

And if Zhu Yong doesn't take action, those people in the family won't be able to sleep!

The aristocratic family that had fled had nothing to say. The Suzaku Army soldiers ransacked their homes and confiscated their shops in Shunfeng City.

The families that did not escape sent people to see Zhu Yong the day after the Suzaku Army entered the city. Because time was urgent, Zhu Yong did not hold them back and held a banquet for the heads of the families at noon that day.

"I don't need to tell you what you did when my army attacked the city. I didn't confiscate your homes and exterminate your clans. This is already a preferential treatment for you!"

The expressions of the heads of various aristocratic families were very ugly. They thought of Zhu Yong making things difficult for them, but Zhu Yong's tone at this time clearly meant that he wanted half of their family's life!

Can they resist?

Nothing can be done!

"General Zhu, calm down! We know that our sins are serious and we are willing to accept any departure!"

Zhu Yong heard what he wanted to hear and nodded with satisfaction.

As long as you know each other, that’s fine!

Zhu Yong: "I won't make it difficult for you, general. Each family will have one hundred thousand taels of silver. If you can't raise enough, you can use other things as collateral. Isn't my request too much?"

Zhu Yong looked at the seven or eight heads of aristocratic families with a fierce look in his eyes.

Of course, everyone dared not agree, but not everyone could come up with the one hundred thousand taels of silver.

One hundred thousand taels!

Almost equivalent to their total income in two or three years.

They earn a lot of money, but they spend it quickly.

Asking them to come up with one hundred thousand taels of silver all at once was already a strain.

But they didn't dare to bargain with Zhu Yong. Not to mention breaking their bones, they still had to hand over the 100,000 taels of silver even if they lost everything.

Their performance won Zhu Yong's forgiveness, and the shops captured in the city were sold to them.

The prices in these stores are not cheap, but in the long run these families will definitely make money!

As for whether the escaped aristocratic families will take back those shops when they return, it has nothing to do with Zhu Yong.

Whichever aristocratic family takes over these shops will naturally have to accept the revenge of those who return to the aristocratic family!

The Suzaku Army had already left Shunfeng City by that time!
