Zhao Shu wanted peace.
He just wanted to ensure that the letter was safe, but Zhao Kai and others were unwilling to meet these small conditions, forcing him to kill people.
News has been sent to Xindu Ling, and he has obtained all the information. Naturally, he knows that prices in Xindu have skyrocketed.
Especially food.
Due to wars and other reasons, all the food went into the hands of these aristocratic families, and the land in the city was seriously annexed.
This is also an important reason why Yan Ju surrendered. Now this trouble is left to Zhao Shu.
The problem of food for the people is a big problem. If this problem is not resolved, Xindu cannot guarantee stability.
When Zhao Shu received the news from the scout camp, he realized how serious the problem in Xindu City was.
In a sense, this problem was no longer something he could solve. He had to transfer food from Xianyang and send special officials to solve it.
It's just that now, he is responsible for guarding Xindu, and Xianyang can't count on him, so he has to come.
This is why Zhao Shu would rather give up the opportunity to win people's hearts in exchange for food from major aristocratic families.
It's a pity that all the aristocratic families are greedy, forcing Zhao Shu to take the wrong approach.
"Let's go too!"
With a low shout, Zhao Shu led the short soldiers and walked out of the mansion. At this time, five hundred cavalry had already arrived outside the mansion.
After getting on his horse, Zhao Shu shouted loudly and said: "Zhao's Mansion, let's go!"
"promise."
Once the killing started, it could only end with death. Although the Zhao clan members were prepared, they were almost one-sided when faced with the sharp warriors of Great Qin.
Half an hour later, Zhao Shu ended the battle. When Zhao's three hundred dead soldiers and five hundred guards were all killed or injured, everything was over.
Today, there are only corpses in the Zhao family's mansion, and apart from that, there is no living person.
"Short troops are stationed here. I will go to support Yasuo and others."
"promise."
An hour later, Zhao Shu joined forces with Yasuo and others to destroy each mansion, completely eradicating all the major families at a slight cost of fifteen casualties.
After getting the news, everyone came in a hurry.
Zhao Shu's action was too sudden, and Xindu Ling did not expect it. First, he massacred the officials of Xindu, and now he also massacred the Xindu family.
"General, you..."
After glancing at the Xindu Order, Zhao Shu waved his hand to interrupt the other party's words, and gave the order directly: "Immediately lead people to count the treasury in the mansions of the major aristocratic families, send the food to the Xindu treasury, and send the rest to the general. There."
"At the same time, send people to count the land occupied by the major mansions."
"promise."
Seeing Zhao Shu being so domineering, Xindu Ling couldn't say much, so he nodded in agreement and quickly led his men over.
Returning to the shogunate, Zhao Shu frowned and didn't speak for a long time. He knew in his heart that the news that he had massacred all the major families could not be blocked at all.
Once the news spreads, the city will be in panic and everyone will be in arms, especially those people who have nothing, as well as local powerful and small families.
"The Sima of the Central Army jointly issued a letter to the capital to issue an announcement. Today's incident was caused by the rebellion of the major families. At the same time, it promoted the crimes committed by the major families in recent years."
"Send people to preach to the people, and redistribute the lands of the major families who intend to rebel against them to the landless people..."
"Strive to stabilize people's hearts as soon as possible, let everyone know the truth, and organize people to promote Qin's law to ensure stability in the city."
…
Zhao Shu issued orders one after another, and the messengers kept running around. The small families and people who had just been noisy suddenly stopped.
They have all seen Zhao Shu's ruthlessness. Now the official announcement is only aimed at the rebel families, not other families, so as to calm the hearts of small families.
The matter of dividing the land calmed the hearts of the people.
This made Xindu, which had just been showing signs of chaos, return to calm in an instant, especially when Zhao Shu ordered the scouts to preach the sins of the major families. For a time, people's hearts gradually moved closer to the government.
…
Just when Zhao Shu was working hard in Xindu, sudden changes occurred in Handan City. Zhao's prime minister Guo Kai and Asia Prime Minister Lian Po had an enmity, and the Handan garrison fell into the hands of Han Cang.
This put Handan in a precarious situation in an instant. Countless people with lofty ideals were passionate, and the resistance against Guo Kai in Handan City was huge.
After receiving this news, Yang Duanhe couldn't help but be overjoyed. He knew in his heart that the opportunity Huanjue and others had been waiting for had arrived.
"Xin Sheng, is there any news from the scout camp? How is the situation in Xindu?" Yang Duanhe looked solemn. He was well aware of Xindu's troubles.
Otherwise, he would not have promoted Zhao Shu out of the ordinary, and the food problem would have overwhelmed Li Ji. Therefore, he left Zhao Shu in Xindu, leaving a hope.
Hearing this, Xin Sheng shook his head: "We have just arrived here. There is no latest news from the scouts. General, you also know the news that came before."
In the shogunate, the two people looked a little solemn, and Yan Ju on the side also spoke: "In Xindu City, there are not only food problems, but also land annexation and problems of aristocratic families."
"Those big families have no less than thousands of dead soldiers alone. Although Zhao's technique is not simple, the number of soldiers is too small."
Yan Ju had met Zhao Shu. He admired Zhao Shu, but he was not optimistic that Zhao Shu could solve the problems in Xindu City at the moment.
After all, when he was in Xindu, he also wanted to resolve this matter, but every time he failed.
Zhao Shu is not simple, but Zhao Shu has just taken over Xindu and has insufficient troops under his command, so it is difficult to solve this matter.
Yan Ju has also experienced the embarrassment of being stretched thin.
…
"Sir, Handan's edict cannot interfere with Li Mu at all!" Hearing his subordinate's words, he paused and nodded.
Now that the situation in Zhao State is critical, Li Mu will never give up his military power easily, which means that his plan is only half successful.
In fact, Dunwei knew clearly what the problem was. Yang Duanhe's attack on Wu'an put him in an embarrassing situation.
Now that Yang Duanhe has once again captured Xindu, this has caused the situation in Zhao to further deteriorate, and Li Mu will not give up easily.
He took a sip of wine, smiled weakly, and said: "The matter has come to this, it can only be like this. Now, even if the edict from Handan reaches Dai County, I am afraid that Li Mu will not obey it."
At this point, his tone changed in a weak tone, and he said to his subordinates: "The people who gave us orders have begun to hibernate. They must not be exposed without my order."
"Then those who were exposed, including those exposed this time, evacuated immediately."
"promise."
Dunruo knew in his heart that his plan was half successful. Now that he stayed in Handan, the risk was too great.
Even Guo Kai may not be able to save him. Just in case, they must evacuate immediately.
After thinking about this, Dunruo looked in the direction outside Handan City, and said in a faint tone: "Now that I'm in trouble, it's up to the generals to decide."
