The war in Xuzhou has undergone dramatic changes.
Because of Tao Qian's defection, Xuzhou's troops collapsed without a fight.
Their family members have all been arrested, so there is no intention to continue fighting.
Cao Cao took the opportunity to break out of the encirclement, and attacked Lu Bu from front to back, who came to help, and defeated the Yanyu family's coalition forces.
At the celebration banquet in the city, after thanking Lu Bu, Cao Cao asked, "General, what should I do with Tao Qian?"
Lu Bu didn't think about it and said casually, "After all, this man has surrendered, and he also persuaded the Xuzhou soldiers to spare his life anyway."
Cao Cao smiled, a look of contempt flashed in his eyes, but his words were more respectful, "May I ask, general, how should we deal with the powerful families in Xuzhou?"
Lu Bu looked a little impatient, "I'm just here to help you on my foster father's orders. As long as you win, I don't care about these things."
Cao Cao's expression became more and more strange. He smiled and said, "In that case, how about letting Cao handle everything here?"
"Um."
Lu Bu didn't think much and immediately agreed.
Two days later, a fire suddenly broke out in Tao Qian's mansion. Tao Qian was unable to run out because of his old age and frailty, and was directly buried in the sea of fire.
Immediately, Cao Jun bloodbathed all the powerful families in the city, especially the Chen family of Chen Gui and Chen Deng, and no one could escape.
Of course, Cao's army only targeted powerful families. Anyone who dared to run into people's homes was captured and held on the street and beheaded.
This is because Cao Cao knows very well Li Yunze's attitude towards powerful families and the people in Guizhou.
Lu Bu was furious when he heard the news.
His original intention was to spare Tao Qian's life, but he never thought that Cao Cao would be so cruel and attack directly without giving him any face.
In anger, he was about to go to Cao Cao for an explanation, but he saw his acquaintance Chen Gong arriving with a large amount of goods under escort.
"General."
With a smile on his face, Chen Gong raised his hands and saluted, "I was sent here by order of my lord to seize the property and generals of powerful families."
Looking at those large carts filled with goods, the anger in Lu Bu's heart suddenly decreased by nine points.
There was even a smile on his face, "It turns out the public receptionist is here, please come in quickly. Let's serve the wine!"
Low-alcohol rice wine had the dual functions of alcohol and beverage during the Han Dynasty. It was common to drink two glasses of it.
But this has to be grain wine, not industrial wine.
After three glasses of wine, the last of Lu Bu's anger had dissipated. He sat in front of the case and asked Chen Gong, "Gongtai, how are the families of some of the new generals under my command?"
After the defeat of Xuzhou, Cao Xing and others took part of the carefully selected elite soldiers of Xuzhou to join Lu Bu to make up for the losses of the Bingzhou soldiers.
"That's what the general said." Chen Gong said with a smile, "Since he is under the general's command, how can my master do anything? But if their family is powerful, they still have to separate their families. Otherwise, all it takes is a letter from Jia Xu "Luoyang City"
"I know." Lu Bu nodded seriously, "This matter is already being handled."
This is a big deal, and not even Lu Bu dares to play tricks on this matter.
Once his adoptive father finds out, he will be dead!
After drinking a glass of wine, Lu Bu asked again, "Who is Mi?"
Chen Gong said with a smile, "The Mi family has not moved, so we have to listen to the arrangements of the imperial master."
Lü Bu felt relieved and warmly welcomed Chen Gong to drink and have fun.
When he was drunk, he used his drunkenness to ask Chen Gong, "Gongtai, why did Cao Mengde do such a cruel thing?"
"First, because the Imperial Master once told the lord that when he was deducing the secret, he saw that the lord's own father was killed by Tao Qian!"
'Hiss~~~'
Lu Bu glared, "No wonder, then Tao Qian really deserves to die."
Revenge for killing my father, there is nothing to say about it.
"One more thing." Chen Gong looked around and lowered his voice and said, "General, you have to know who you are working for."
"Working for whom?"
Lu Bu frowned slightly, "Of course I'm working for my adoptive father."
"Of course!"
Chen Gong slapped his thigh and said, "I was helped by a general and saved my life, so I said this to the general. My lord is the same as the general. They both work for the national adviser. The national adviser hates the powerful family, and either he or she is flat." or demolish it. My lord will demolish it
The powerful families inside and outside the city are just for the eyes of the imperial master. "
"Ouch~~~"
Lu Bu, who was stunned on the spot, punched the table in anger after a moment, "Cao Mengde is really insidious, and he didn't even tell me. Without public help, I would still be in the dark!"
"Then what should I do now?" Lu Bu hurriedly saluted Chen Gong, "Sir, please teach me."
"You don't have to do this, General."
Chen Gong helped Lu Bu up with a smile and said with a smile, "General, you have already taken the first step."
"Huh?" Lu Bu was confused.
"The Mi family's Mi Zhen made a good move. The general made the move in advance and is already in an invincible position."
Chen Gongxin said, "I have spent a lot of effort to inquire about the information about the imperial master, and I know that this person is a lustful gentleman who likes beautiful women." You present him with beauty, this is the most important step. '
"Mi Zhen has a good reputation in Xuzhou." Chen Gong nodded to Lu Bu, perhaps because of some unspeakable tacit understanding and the regret of meeting him so late. "General, please send Mi Zhu to Luoyang City as soon as possible. What will happen in the end is left to the National Master to make the decision. If you look at it
, the Mi family will probably be split up in the end. "
"Hearing a word from Mr. Wang is better than ten years of reading."
Lu Bu was overjoyed and saluted Chen Gong again, "Thank you sir for your advice."
They are all real people, not robots taking orders.
Even if Li Yunze uses his unparalleled strength to suppress them and work for him, his private thoughts can never be calmed down.
Li Yunze, who has met too many characters, already knows this.
Therefore, he was not moved at all by Mi Zhen's arrival, and calmly arranged for Diao Chan to take her to rest.
Then he said to Zhang Liao who was escorting Mi Zhen, "Go back and give Fengxian my son a message. If you send anyone here in the future, use Mi Zhen as the boundary."
What this means is not that it ends with Mi Zhen, but that it must be at least Mi Zhen's level or above.
This is to avoid giving away people continuously in the future, so that the family can be preserved.
Li Yunze can tolerate this kind of thing occasionally.
But if he does this for a long time, he can't stand it anymore.
Zhang Liao understood, so he immediately accepted the order.
"Take six hundred pairs of horse armor back and reward my son with three thousand gold. As for what he gained from destroying the family in the land of Yanyuxu, you can keep it for yourself. As for the Mi family."
Li Yunze, who gave the reward, thought for a moment and said, "Demolish the house."
There are usually two ways to deal with powerful families. One is that Cao Cao is best at tying them directly, and the other is to directly destroy them like the Xun family in Yingchuan.
In contrast, compared to being flattened directly, a demolished home can at least save its life.
Destroying your home is not a good thing either.
Apart from the basic living security, everything else is gone.
Moreover, after the house is demolished, you will not be asked to continue living together. Instead, each house will be dispersed and moved to distant places. It is impossible to say that you will disappear halfway.
"correct."
Li Yunze remembered another important thing, "Go back and tell Feng Xianwu'er and Cao Mengde to order them to renovate the temples along the way. Those with gold and silver in the temples were demolished directly, and the remaining monks who were first pacified were sent to the army. The temples Those whose fields exceed fifty acres will also be processed in sequence.
. "
At this time, Buddhism had spread very widely in the land of Middle-earth, and its actions already had the shadow of later generations.
Lao Luo didn't dare to write this in his novel. After all, Buddhism is powerful and has thousands of tentacles.
But just because Lao Luo didn't write it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Li Yunze still adhered to his consistent policy and dealt with it casually.
After Zhang Liao left, Li Yunze began to pay attention to another thing, which was the west side of the Han Dynasty.
There is nothing going on with Liu Bei for the time being. It is difficult to make any substantial progress before breaking through to various intersections in Shu.
However, Li Yunze believed that with the help of Xun's uncle and nephew, it would only be a matter of time before they invaded Shu. Their uncle and nephew's abilities were no worse than Brother Zhu's.
At this time, what Li Yunze wanted to focus on was the Wuwei land of Liangzhou, which was further to the west.
To be precise, it was Dong Zhuo and the Xiliang Army.
After escaping back to their hometown in Xiliang, the Xiliang army began to let themselves go.
At the beginning, he was still afraid of Li Yunze's power and sent envoys to Zhu Hu intermittently.
But after that, not only did the number of deliveries get smaller and smaller, but the frequency also continued to drop.
Later, they even simply cut off the confession, and no envoy from the Xiliang Army sent Zhu Hu to Luoyang City for several months.
Perhaps in the eyes of Dong Zhuo and others, Xiliang is so far away from Luoyang City, and the distance of thousands of miles is enough to cut off the hand of the imperial master.
So they simply stopped following Li Yunze's arrangements and instead fought against the rising local tycoons, such as the Han family and the Ma family, for dominance in Liangzhou.
And how could Li Yunze let them escape his grasp so easily?
"Zi Long."
Li Yunze asked Zhao Yun to "make preparations and go to Liangzhou City with a certain person."
Zhao Yun was slightly surprised, then he raised his hands and saluted, "Here."
"Dian Wei." Li Yunze asked Dian Wei again, "When I go out, the safety of my home depends on you."
Dian Wei immediately saluted and said with great enthusiasm, "Don't worry, my lord, I will protect all the mistresses."
"I believe you."
Li Yunze took out a signal transmitter and put it in Dian Wei's hand. "If it's urgent, just press here."
"Here."
In Zhao Yun's opinion, it would take at least several months to travel thousands of miles to Liangzhou.
So he was very well prepared, and the various luggage alone filled a carriage.
When Li Yunze saw the various supplies prepared by Zhao Yun, he said in a dumbfounded voice, "I didn't make it clear. What I meant was that you can just bring some luggage. You don't need so many things."
Zhao Yun was puzzled when he heard this: "My lord, we are traveling thousands of miles to Liangzhou, and the journey alone will take several months."
"No need."
Li Yunze waved his hand, "If there is no problem with the navigation, a few hours will be enough."
Zhao Yun'(゜▽゜*)'
"Lord, are you going to use the Earth Escape Technique?"
"It's not about escaping to the ground, it's about flying into the sky."
