"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The entire Yunnan city was in chaos.
Huang Jian wanted to make the first move to gain the upper hand, but he did not expect that Jiang Hua also had the same idea. Now that the two sides had gathered together, it was like the wind against the mang.
Neither side was willing to suffer a loss. Moreover, these two were not stupid. If they fought to the death, what would they do if the barbarian army outside the city took advantage of them?
Both of them left three thousand soldiers on top of the Chen Tower.
However, the situation was not something they could control.
Both sides began to mobilize their own three thousand soldiers.
In the end, there were only a thousand soldiers on top of the tower.
"Jiang Hua and Huang Jian are fighting!" Zhang Jin was also dumbfounded. He didn't expect that Jiang Hua and Huang Jian would fight first.
"The heavens are helping us!" Gao Qiu was very excited. He wanted to take revenge on Huang Jian, but he did not expect that Huang Jian and Jiang Hua would fight.
"Governor, quickly give the order!" Gao Qiu could not wait any longer. He wanted to open the city gates and let the barbarian army in.
In this way, Huang Jian would not be able to escape.
"Sigh!" Zhang Jin sighed. If Huang Jian and Jiang Hua had listened to him, they wouldn't have ended up like this. Yunnan City wouldn't have been handed over so easily.
He did not know whether this was a blessing or a curse.
Zhang Jin was also vigilant against letting the barbarian army in.
"Come, give the order. At midnight, open the city gates and let the army in!" Zhang Jin was also a straightforward person. A resolute look flashed across his eyes. Very quickly, he calmed down and issued the order from his mouth.
"Yes!" Gao Qiu quickly received the order and left excitedly.
The chaos in the city became even more intense.
The fight between Huang Jian and Jiang Hua had involved the common people. The common people hated the two families to the bone.
Now that they were involved, they would starve to death without food. They might as well drag a few of them down with them before they starved to death.
The common people's fighting strength was not as good as Huang Jian and Jiang Hua's men. However, they had the advantage of location. The houses became their territory. They could ignore the night and get lost in their own land.
For a moment, Huang Jian and Jiang Hua were also miserable beyond words.
"Damn it!" Huang Jian didn't expect these unruly people to be so powerful.
In total, Huang Jian had lost a lot of Caucasians. How could he not be furious?
However, Huang Jian had no other choice. He really couldn't find these people who were like rats. The ones he could catch were the old, weak, sick, and disabled.
Some of the smarter ones would jump into houses or alleys, making it impossible to catch them.
"Reporting!" Just as Huang Jian was feeling vexed, a messenger hurried over.
"Reporting to the general, the north gate, the north gate has encountered the enemy!" The messenger shouted loudly.
"What?!" Huang Jian was also stunned. Wasn't the Northern Gate a place to guard against the barbarian army?
"The barbarian army is attacking the city?" Huang Jian's expression became tense as he asked.
"No, it's not the barbarian army!" the messenger said while panting.
"It's not the barbarian army?!" Huang Jian was confused.
If it's not the barbarian army, then who would attack the north gate? "Don't tell me it's Governor Zhang Jin!" In Yunnan City, other than Huang Jian's army, there were also Jiang Hua's army and Governor Zhang Jin's army.
Huang Jian and Jiang Hua's army were still fighting here. How could they open the north gate? Even Jiang Hua knew the consequences of opening the north gate.
The only one left was Zhang Jin.
This Zhang Jin was a good official. How could such a good official allow the barbarian army to enter Yunnan City?
"General, they are carrying the banner of Governor Zhang Jin's men!" The messenger said with a mournful face.
"Ah!" Huang Jian was also dumbfounded. He remembered that Zhang Jin was indeed a good official. However, he was also a good official who loved his reputation.
Huang Jian and Jiang Hua treated the common people like this. What was the difference between them and the barbarians?
In fact, those barbarians could still talk about righteousness. They would leave after robbing you. They wouldn't kill you. After killing you, who would rob you for them? They would even leave food for the common people so that they would not starve to death.
However, Huang Jian and Jiang Hua were different. They were killing the goose that laid the golden eggs. In order to suppress the other party, they would do anything.
Therefore, Zhang Jin chose the lesser of two evils.
Huang Jian was caught in a dilemma. If he were to retreat to the North Gate, then he would inevitably suffer heavy losses. Over there, he was evenly matched with Jiang Hua. It was like two experts were competing with each other. If one of them suddenly retreated, then the result would be that the one who retreated would inevitably be seriously injured by the other. Huang Jian was in a dilemma. If he retreated to the North Gate, then he would inevitably suffer heavy losses.
At that time, Jiang Hua wouldn't care about anything. He was very willing to see the possibility of hitting Huang Jian when he was down and killing him.
As for not going to the north gate to help, how many troops could there be at the north gate? Both sides were transferring troops from the north gate.
If you transfer 100 troops, I will send 200. If you transfer 300 troops, I will send 400.
Now, taking everything into account, he, Huang Jian, only had less than 500 men left at the north gate.
What should he do?
"General, I have a plan. Maybe it can make Governor Zhang Jin realize his mistake and mend his ways!" A thousand-man general suggested to Huang Jian.
"Say it!" Huang Jian was also a person who was desperate.
"General, Governor Zhang Jin's subordinates are just civil officials. It's impossible for them to take down the North City Gate in such a short time. We can take advantage of this opportunity to go to the mansions in the city and capture the family members of the civil officials. We can break into their homes and intimidate Governor Zhang Jin and his subordinates. We can also threaten Governor Zhang Jin and his subordinates to join us in dealing with Jiang Hua!" The 1,000-man general said proudly.
This was actually a bad idea.
This was because these civil officials were the representatives of the Yunnan clans. Their clans all had their own private soldiers.
There were very few stubborn donkeys like Chen Kang.
If you touch the common people, then it might be the common people who resist. If you touch them, then your good days will be numbered. At the very least, in Yizhou, in front of the landowning households, you are nothing but a piece of sh * t.
If you offended one or two families, you would offend a large group of people and an interest group.
If you could deal with the nobles of Yunnan today, you might be able to deal with others tomorrow. Therefore, they would definitely not let you live.
But now, Huang Jian had no choice but to turn to any doctor.
After listening to the thousand-man general's words, it was also a good idea.
Huang Jian was thinking that if he captured the family members of the civil officials, he would not touch them. He would only use them to threaten them. He would not kill them, so they could not make things difficult for him. Furthermore, they were the ones who rebelled first.
However, what Huang Jian didn't know was that while dreams were plentiful, reality was very harsh.
Huang Jian's orders had been passed down, but the soldiers would not be able to carry them out so easily.
What do you mean by General Huang Jian wants us to attack the mansions of the civil officials?
That meant that General Huang Jian had fallen out with those civil officials.
What do you mean by saying that the general only wants us to threaten them? What a joke. The general wants us to attack the civil officials.
Robbing a hundred commoners would not be as valuable as robbing a small official.
These people were all fat sheep. It would be a waste not to rob them.
As for Huang Jian's threats, such as using peaceful means before resorting to force, and not using swords and sabers, they were all thrown to the back of his mind.
It was impossible to attack these mansions without casualties. Once people died, these Qiu Ba's eyes would be completely dyed red with blood and they would start killing wantonly.
The reports of the scene were sent to Huang Jian. Huang Jian was also anxious. He had made such a stupid move.
The situation was getting out of control. Just as General Huang Jian was about to go back, he was completely blinded by the carts of goods that were sent back by one of his subordinates.
Countless provisions, countless gold, silver, and jewels, as well as antiques and paintings.
Now, all of them were placed in front of Huang Jian.
"Reporting to the general, we took these from the Hequ County Magistrate's mansion!" The hundred-man general said to Huang Jian. Huang Jian might not understand the paintings of famous people, but those gold, silver, and jewels were clear.
These jewels and goldfish were only a part of it. There were thousands of gold on it.
According to the hundred-man general, there was a cellar in the mansion. It was filled with gold, silver, and jewels. This was only a part of it, not even a third of it.
"Good, good, good!" Huang Jian was simply overjoyed. With money, it meant that he had troops and provisions. If he knew that these civil officials were so rich, why would he rob the commoners?
Those bumpkins, how much food could they have at home?
After robbing them, they even rebelled against his troops.
Just robbing a County Magistrate was equivalent to robbing half of Yunnan City.
Huang Jian became more and more greedy. Those civil officials were completely in trouble.
While Huang Jian was robbing, Jiang Hua could not just stand there.
He was not stupid. When he saw Huang Jian make a move, he could not fall behind. Huang Jian and Jiang Hua had forgotten their original intention. They began to deal with the nobles in the city.
Even the two families began to practice. They attacked together. You take half and I take the other half.
The nobles in the city were not pushovers. Jiang Hua and Huang Jian could easily bully them.
Previously, they did not make a move because they were not people who would do anything without benefits. Without benefits, they would suffer losses. They would not do such a thing.
They could complain to Zhang Jin, which meant that they wanted to use Zhang Jin as a gun.
But after knowing that Chen Kang was dead, they did not say anything. They all made excuses and left. They did not want to get involved in this muddy water. They could leave, but Huang Jian and Jiang Hua were not willing to let them go.
One by one, they attacked.
If you took down one or two families, it would be fine. If you took down three or four families, these nobles would be angry.
They were really polite to you. You think you are convinced? If a tiger does not show its power, you think it is a sick cat?
These nobles were able to establish their foundation in Yunnan City for hundreds of years. How could they not have a background and a backup plan?
One or two families might not be able to make a big splash, but what if they worked together?
My Zhao family will send three hundred soldiers, your Qian family will send two hundred, the Sun family will send four hundred more, and the Li family will send fewer soldiers. I will provide one hundred sets of armor.
After piecing together, there were more than ten thousand soldiers and horses. All of them were well-equipped.
They were all taken out from their respective vaults. How could they be bad?
One wanted to rob, the other wanted to resist.
Then let's fight to the death.
"Kill!" The battle at the North Gate was still going on.
The Yunnan Garrison under Zhang Jin's command was originally guarding the North Gate. They could find the structure of the North Gate even with their eyes closed. In addition, Gao Qiu was also a character. The Imperial Family and Jiang Hua left some second-line troops at the North Gate. If it weren't for the hundreds of veterans inside, they would have already dispersed.
But now they were being suppressed by Gao Qiu's soldiers.
It was only a matter of time before they took down the North Gate.
Gao Qiu was very happy. But Zhang Jin was not in such a good mood.
Because according to reason, this should be the time when the Barbarian Army outside the North Gate cooperated with them to take down the North Gate.
But now, there was no movement outside the North Gate.
Indeed, their soldiers had the upper hand. It was only a matter of time before they took down the North Gate. However, Huang Jian and Jiang Hua's defeated soldiers should have no problem holding on until the next morning.
What was the Barbarian Army outside the North Gate doing?
"Maybe those Barbarians are still unwilling to believe us!" Gao Qiu wiped the blood on his face and said to Zhang Jin.
"Governor, why are you so worried? As long as we take down the north gate, the Barbarian Tribe outside the city won't doubt our sincerity!" Gao Qiu was different from Zhang Jin. He just wanted to take down the north gate as a gift.
At that time, they would open the North Gate. Don't you want it?
Zhang Jin frowned. This was the only explanation he could think of.
"Kill, kill, kill!" The North Gate suddenly exploded with shouts.
"What's going on?" Zhang Jin saw that several places in the North Gate were ablaze. It was especially bright in the dark night.
How could Zhang Jin, the Governor of Yunnan, not know about the layout of Yunnan? Weren't those places the residences of the nobles?
The Qian Family, the Li Family, and the Zhao Family.
Zhang Jin sent someone to investigate. Soon, the scout returned.
"Governor, in the North Gate, the private soldiers of the noble families are fighting with Jiang Hua and Huang Jian!" The news brought by the scout made Gao Qiu dumbfounded.
Were Huang Jian and Jiang Hua really tired of living? To actually make a move on those landowning households?
"I understand, I understand!" Zhang Jin suddenly smiled bitterly. He finally understood why the Barbarian Army outside the North Gate didn't attack.
It wasn't that they didn't believe Zhang Jin. Instead, they were using Zhang Jin as an opportunity to let Jiang Hua and Huang Jian attack those officials.
He, Zhang Jin, was the head of the officials. He, Zhang Jin, was going to cooperate with the Barbarian Army outside the North Gate. How could Huang Jian and Jiang Hua believe that those officials were innocent?
