"You must have the consciousness of defeat."

In the Chibi camp after the rectification, Wang Xiao sat on the Mazha, and in front of him were many captured generals and strategists of the Sun-Liu coalition army.

The previous water battle and the subsequent battle of breaking the village, the Sun-Liu coalition army had been completely defeated.

The soldiers and horses of Eastern Wu have always been dominated by water divisions.

The 100,000 Dongwu Navy Army is not just a joke, in essence.

The collapse and defeat of the naval army also meant the demise of the main force of Eastern Wu.

Although Liu Bei still had a group of Jingzhou soldiers in his hands, when the village was broken before, Liu Beijun resisted desperately, but he suffered heavy casualties under the blow of the shield array and firearms.

The Jingzhou army left their hometown, and their morale was not high. After suffering a heavy blow, they either surrendered or collapsed.

The main force of the coalition army was defeated, and many people moved their minds. did not flee with Sun Quan and Liu Bei, but chose to surrender on his own initiative.

Wang Xiao pacified the general trend of the world, and after the Battle of Chibi, it was unstoppable. It's better to rely on the past now than to surrender after Jianye City is broken.

Zhang Zhao stepped forward, saluted and said, "Your Majesty, we have nothing else to ask for, but to ask Your Majesty to make everything in Jiangdong imitate the old examples." ”

Soochow is a private military system, and each wealthy family has its own territory.

On the territory of their respective families, they own the land and the tenants on the land.

These people are willing to be ministers to Wang Xiao, pay taxes, give gifts, send their daughters, and become officials in the court, anything.

The only requirement was to ask Wang Xiao to follow the old system and let them continue to hold their own land and tenants.

In this era of underdeveloped economy and low productivity. Growing food in the soil is the foundation that can truly be inherited from the family.

At this moment, if Wang Xiao agreed to their request. That Jiangdong can be peaceful, and even Jianye City can be sent to Wang Xiao's hands intact.

But Wang Xiao didn't have this plan, so he had the previous sentence.

Now is the time when the heroes of the Jiangdong family are the weakest, if they don't take advantage of the current time to completely eradicate these tumors, will they leave the hidden danger of 'the king and the horse share the world' for future generations.

"No more nonsense."

Wang Xiao, who was sitting on the horse, waved his hand and said, "Hand over the land and tenants, and I can ensure the safety of your family." If you don't want to, then pray that you can withstand the attack of the great army. ”

"Your Majesty." Zhang Zhao, as a representative of the Jiangdong family, shouted bitterly, "Does Your Majesty want to see the lives ruined?" Aren't you afraid that the history books will not record the name of His Majesty's cruelty? ”

"It's not that I want to see it, it's you who applied on your own initiative."

Wang Xiao didn't care about this threat. The main force under his command is now a good family of small landowners who are yeoman farmers. It is a natural opposition to the powerful family.

At this time, it is naturally impossible to stupidly turn around and seek the support of the powerful family.

Standing up, his eyes swept over the many Jiangdong people, "If you are willing to accept it, you can stay and discuss the plan." If you don't want to, you can go back and prepare for war now. ”

Wang Xiao took a few steps and stopped again. looked at the people who were coerced from Yizhou.

"Since you have abandoned everything and followed Liu Xuande here, don't think about the things that were abandoned before. I have already distributed all your farmlands and houses to the people, you can either go back to Luoyang with me and resettle. Either go to Liu Xuande, and let's continue to fight. ”

Whether it is to crack down on the powerful families or to promote the good families of homesteaders. The essence of the foundation is all about strength.

When the power is strong enough to suppress everything, any objection can be treated as if it has not been heard.

The current Wang Xiao is out of the stage where his strength is absolutely strong and he can beat all opponents.

At this time, of course, we can't let go of such a rare God-given opportunity because of other flattery and flattery.

After a few years, when these powerful families have eased up, if they want to exterminate them at that time, they will have to pay the price exponentially.

He is not afraid of the strong resistance of the family, just fight.

Zhaozhao's history books record brutality or something, even the ancestral dragon that swept Liuhe was recorded as brutal, Wang Xiao didn't think that he could leave a good reputation in the history books.

The history books record this kind of thing, which has always been an understatement to calm the world, and the emphasis is on ink to expand the territory.

Liu Bang and Wenjingzhi laid the foundation, and then there was Han Wu sweeping the world.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, it was Li Yuan who seized the world, but his light was completely overshadowed by Li Shimin, who swept away the Eastern Turks and recaptured the Western Regions.

Wang Xiao believes that as long as he sweeps the grasslands later, he will enter the Western Regions again, and even open a passage to India. The records in the history books must be good and obedient.

Zhang Zhao and the others wanted to chase after what to say, but Xu Chu, who stood sideways, directly blocked them all.

Wang Xiao fought against the powerful families in the north and tried his best to promote yeoman farmers.

When attacking Yizhou, it was simply to wipe out the powerful of the family.

Now that he is in Jiangdong, he also proposes to let the wealthy families of Jiangdong give up everything by themselves.

When faced with life and death, people will be afraid. But in the face of the foundation of the family inheritance, even if it is death, it must be defended desperately.

Wang Xiao set out from Chibi and walked downstream along both sides of the river.

After easily occupying Chaisang, he moved towards Jianye City at a very slow pace.

He is leaving time for the powerful families in Jiangdong to gather, ready to catch them all.

After exhausting all means, many pleas were fruitless.

For the sake of their own family's inheritance, for the family's foundation, the land will not be snatched away. The powerful families of Jiangdong mobilized almost all the forces that could be mobilized, and gathered in Jianye City to prepare for a decisive battle with Wang Xiao.

For this kind of thing, Wang Xiao is naturally happy to see it come to fruition. So he marched slowly, giving the Jiangdong family time to gather and mobilize.

When he finally came to Jianye City, the forces gathered here were even greater than those gathered during the previous Battle of Chibi.

The materials transported from all over the country were piled up, and Sun Quan and Liu Bei looked extremely ugly.

If these powerful families had come out with their family resources to support them from the beginning, it would have been enough to completely defeat Cao Wei during the first Battle of Chibi.

Jianye City is Stone Town, and although it is said that it is a tiger, it is actually not a place conducive to defense.

Wang Xiao blocked the river with water divisions and mobilized heavy troops to surround Jianye City.

There is no long-term siege, and there is no tactic of digging tunnels by attacking fire and water.

After getting ready, Wang Xiao selected a group of soldiers who dared to fight and died, and transported a huge box filled with black powder made of one nitrate, two sulfur and three charcoals. Under the cover of crossbowmen and firearms, they were piled up next to a city wall.

After the arquebus was lit, the Wei army, who was still fearless of death before, turned around and fled like crazy.

The defenders didn't know what they were doing, and even if they did, they couldn't do anything but flee at this point.

There is the wise one, who has drifted away from this part of the wall.

But most people are still ignorant, and there are even those who are bold and curious, probing their heads and looking down at the city.

Then, the fuse burned to the end.

The Wei soldiers in the distance saw a bright little sun rising in the sky.

The light is so bright that you can't open your eyes.

Then came the wind that blew the dust and rubble, the explosion that directly shook people's ears, and the shock wave that shook all the internal organs.

Although it was only purified black powder, it was enough to blow up the city wall when there were enough of it.

Here's a word in passing. The walls of China are not static, but constantly changing with the passage of time and the advancement of technology.

In the beginning, the material was rammed earth, followed by stones, and clay bricks and so on.

The height and thickness also increased over time, and the walls of the pre-Qin period were actually not very high. Although the Han Dynasty was a little higher, it was far less exaggerated than the famous fortified cities of later generations.

Then there is the city defense facilities, which are also formed and increased.

It is like the city gate has evolved from wood to copper, iron. There are also corner towers, horse faces, moats, urn castles and other defensive measures are also gradually appearing.

At this time, Jianye City was not high or thick in Wang Xiao's eyes, and the quality could not be compared with Zhu Yuanzhang's cultivation.

For Wang Xiao, who has seen and attacked many cities. It's really nothing here.

Wait until the ringing in the ears dissipates, wait until the eyes recover, wait until the dust fragments flying in the sky gradually fall and subside. Wang Xiao had already beaten the drums of war here.

Amid the rumbling sound of war drums, the armorers wearing heavy armor and holding shields in their hands formed a formation and walked towards the place where the smoke had not yet dissipated.

When they reached the city wall, they found that this section of the city wall had been blown down for a long time.

It was empty, and there was no sign of the defenders.

The armor soldiers walked up the slope where the debris was piled up, and after crossing the slope, they directly entered Jianye City.

When I came down the slope to the city, I finally saw the defenders who were bleeding from the shockwave.

More and more armor soldiers entered the city, but the defenders were still in a panic, and they couldn't even put up a decent resistance.

The defenders in Jianye City seem to be outnumbered, and there are countless supplies of all kinds.

But in fact, it is composed of many large and small families, who are nominally under Sun Quan's orders, but in fact they are not subordinate to each other.

The force guarding this section of the city wall has been blown up, and there is no way to reunite the strength to counterattack in the face of previously unknown forces.

And the defenders in other places, because the information was not clear and there were no orders, and the desire to preserve their strength could not be reacted.

By the time the defenders finally figured out the situation and had soldiers and horses come to block it, Wang Xiao's army had already entered the city.

It's okay for these motley armies to stand on the city walls and fight and defend the city, but if they are attacked into the city, then there is no need to fight.

Some people want to fight, some people want to escape. Some people want to plug the gap, some people want to run out of the city for their lives.

With so many large and small forces mixed together, when they encounter chaos, the result is more and more chaos.

The elite division fights the soldiers and horses in the chaos, and the result is a doomed thing.

Sun Quan, whose own strength had already been wiped out, did not run away again this time. Instead, he sat in his palace and drank silently.

As for Liu Bei, he was escorted out of the city by the loyal generals around him and fled.

Before the war, Jianye City, which was boasted as something that could not be taken in a year, fell into Wang Xiao's hands in a day's work.

The battle to pacify the world is also over.
