Within a few days, Dongfang Yu used a series of iron-blooded methods to wipe out half of dozens of big families. The powerful people in the family were forced to remove their official positions with iron-blooded tactics.

This is not good, it has been planned for a long time! Military Academy and Moxuan University, the first batch of talents in Qin State must graduate from these two academies. In other words, a large number of people will soon take office as officials.

At this time, when officials were dismissed from their official positions, they seriously suspected that Dongfang Yu deliberately used excuses to reduce their official positions so that a new batch of college students could enter the industry.

Dongfang Yu didn't think so much. His reason for cutting officials and squeezing these people was very simple.

On the "Qin Code", the words are written clearly in black and white. If you try the law yourself, you will have to pay the price.

For a time, there was a commotion in the capital of Qin. In a few days, so many officials were laid off, and several large families were directly deposed and expelled from the royal capital.

But no, the officials of all sizes in the capital of Qin are in a state of panic? He was afraid that the next person Dongfang Yu would target would be himself. after all! Which family with power and position is not greedy to some extent!

Fortunately, after planting a few chickens, Dongfang Yu finally stopped. The monkeys in Qindu couldn't help but feel relieved.

It was the aristocratic family that was unlucky to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, but he, Dongfang Yu, made a lot of money.

As promising young people in the 21st century, what are these family members thinking in their hearts? What did you do? He can guess roughly one or two.

certainly! Dongfang Yu is not unkind, just take the ministers as an example! That person is not greedy for seven or eight taels of silver. Greed...of course you need to be greedy, after all! In ancient times, those who did not serve as officials were satisfied and fed! Then, the unlucky ones will be the lowly people.

Once a person's desire is opened, it is very difficult to close it!

A few days later, the army led by Li Jing finally crossed Dingzhou. The 30,000-strong army entered the border of Nanzhou in a mighty manner.

As for Nanzhou, the place that he missed day and night, he finally led the troops to conquer Nanzhou again under Dongfang Yu's written order.

"Brother, we are finally back to Nanzhou." Looking into the distance, familiar with the Nanzhou road, a tear appeared in the corner of Li Xiaozhi's eyes.

I still remember that more than three years ago, he and his eldest brother Li Jing, in order to have a bright future, stepped out of Lijia Village and headed towards the imperial capital to seek an official position.

But because I missed the time for the martial arts competition and the literary competition in the imperial capital, I had to do nothing when I returned to Nanzhou. King Qin... appeared.

The King of Qin not only helped the two realize their ambitions, but also trusted them and entrusted them with important tasks.

"Of course I remember, now it can be considered a return home in fine clothes!" Li Jing looked at the emptiness in the distance, a look of loss flashed in his eyes.

"Command the three armies to camp where they are!" Li Jing ordered.

The prefect of Nanzhou was Shi Mao. Although this person occupied a position, he was a local official in Dawu. But Shi Mao is getting older after all, and his ambition is no longer what it used to be. Moreover, as people age, they become more and more afraid of death.

Especially now, the world of Dawu is full of chaos and kings are dividing their empires. You beat me and beat you, constantly expanding the territory outwards, just like the King of Chu in the east, the King of Qin in the west, and the King of Chen in Jingzhou bordering Nanzhou. None of these people have hundreds of thousands of troops in their hands.

As for Nanzhou, except for Shi Mao, an old state herdsman, Nanzhou's talents are withering away, and there are almost very few generals who can conquer and fight well. Apart from the two brothers Li Jing and Li Xiaozhi, there are basically no famous generals left.

"No!" Li Xiaozhi didn't know what Li Jing was thinking!

But facing his hometown of Nanzhou, even the murderer Li Xiaozhi was unwilling to go to war with him.

Two hours later, the Qin army had already set up camp.

In the main business account...

Lantian, Xinhai, Li Xiaozhi, etc. are all here. Speaking of it, the three of them now can be considered Li Jing's confidant generals. after all! The king appointed himself the governor of Nanzhou and trained an army of 80,000 to lay the foundation for the future crusade against Jingzhou and Nanchu.

"Mr. Xin, Nanzhou is the hometown of this general, and! Shimao, the pastor of the state, is old and confused, and increasingly greedy for life and afraid of death. It is basically nothing to worry about. Therefore! I want to prepare to persuade Shimao to surrender first. , don’t resist stubbornly.”

"If we can recruit Shi Mao to surrender, then! The territory of Nanzhou will be within easy reach!" Li Jing analyzed the current situation in Nanzhou and came up with this simplest and most practical method. If successful, the entire Nanzhou can be captured without any bloodshed and at the minimum cost.

Xinhai stroked his beard, weighed the pros and cons, and agreed: "General, I think this method is feasible."

First of all, Shi Mao is indeed greedy for life and afraid of death, and is not as brave as he was back then.

Secondly, Nanzhou’s current predicament is countless times worse than that of Beiliang back then!

then! No matter how bad Beiliang is, the princes are divided and their strength is unexpected. Each prince holds more than ten thousand soldiers and horses in his hands! In other words, Beiliang's total military strength at that time totaled hundreds of thousands.

However, Nanzhou's total military strength is only 10,000 or 20,000, and compared with the Qin army, its combat strength is not on the same level. There is no way, Nanzhou and the center of the imperial court are too far apart. Grains and salaries are distributed according to regular schedules, but after a group of bureaucratic capitalists exploited them at all levels, very few of them can actually be released to Nanzhou.

"Okay! Since you have agreed, sir, let's recruit Shi Mao to surrender first. If we can't recruit him, we will have to fight each other." Li Jing narrowed his eyes deeply and said coldly and helplessly.

Then! Xinhai wrote a letter of surrender to Shi Mao in the name of Li Jing! Weighing the pros and cons, although Shi Mao is old, he is not so dim that he can hardly distinguish between good and bad.

At this time, in Nanzhou City, Shi Mao, who got the news of the Qin army's attack through scouts, was so frightened that he fell down on his chair, but he was too frightened to understand.

"What should we do? What should we do? The Qin State has indeed attacked Nanzhou." Shi Mao opened his mouth slowly, his mind was extremely confused.

All the officials in the government were looking at each other, and their minds were completely blank. Facing the Qin army, they simply could not muster the courage to fight against it.

"Lord Zhou Mu, the Qin army is the army of tigers and wolves, and the state of Qin is the country of tigers and wolves. This has been established for a long time in the Zhaozhao world."

"In my opinion, the Qin State today is undoubtedly the best among all countries. Instead of using the mantis as a chariot, it is better to surrender voluntarily." A scribe said.

Shi Mao hesitated again, "But I heard that the generals under the King of Qin are all bloodthirsty and murderous people. We still don't know that the person who attacked our Nanzhou is one of the generals under the King of Qin?"

"If anything happens..."

When he said the words on his lips, Shi Mao swallowed them again.
