Chapter 220: The family in Yizhou is a pit
Seeing Liu Yan's indifferent eyes, this person suddenly shook his head and bowed his head silently.
The surrounding ministers are looking at him, and at this time, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, there must be someone to stand up.
Under the eyes of everyone and Liu Yan's gaze, this person instantly aroused a cold sweat, and repeated stumblingly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is really a villain's slander, there is really no such thing in the minister's family!" ”
At the end, the man slammed his head on the ground, and a blush appeared on the floor.
The family is the most important thing. Even if you sacrifice yourself, you must protect your family, otherwise your end will only be worse.
Looking at the minister kneeling on the ground in front of him, Liu Yan gently raised the sword in his hand, and stabbed down with a very calm and natural sword.
"Poof!"
Blood gushed like a spring, splashing on the bodies of Liu Yan and the surrounding ministers. Countless ministers hurriedly dispersed like frightened birds.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Looking at the tip of the sword that came out of his chest, the minister raised his head with difficulty, glanced at Liu Yan, whose face did not change, and muttered before dying.
The tone was full of unwillingness and resentment, and there was a hint of relief.
Not caring about the blood on his body, Liu Yan completely ignored the corpse under his feet, slowly pulled out his sword, pointed at the ministers around him and said softly, "Do you have anything else to say?" ”
Everyone looked at Liu Yan, whose face was indifferent, his tone was flat, and Liu Yan, who was decorated with countless blood on his dragon robe, fell to the ground with a pale face, without saying a word.
"Good! Since you're all right, let's do it! ”
"Today, you can stay with me for a while and rest."
"Tomorrow at noon, all the families will go to the Beida camp with all their private soldiers for me to drive. Don't blame me if anyone has reservations and I find out. It will take at least a few days for Yuan Shu's army to arrive in Chengdu, and before that, I can completely raid the disobedient families one by one. ”
Lose your marbles! Liu Yan is completely crazy!
He is now facing a desperate situation, and he is completely dealing with Yuan Jun with the mentality of breaking the boat. Even if he dies, he will die with the family.
I put up with them for so long before, but I never thought that what forbearance would get in exchange was not gratitude, but intensified bullying and betrayal.
Now Liu Yan is completely open-minded, forcibly tied the family and himself together, the 30,000 army left in the city not only for defense, once the army is defeated, Liu Yan can completely destroy all the families in the city before Yuan Shu's army takes Chengdu.
Soon, news from the palace spread. The heads of various families in Chengdu hurriedly gathered together to discuss the matter.
"I didn't expect Liu Yan to have such courage, I really underestimated him!"
"Now that the backbone of our family is being held hostage by Liu Yan in the palace, how should we deal with this matter?"
"No matter what, Wu'er can't afford to lose, no matter how you choose, I will do what Liu Yan said and keep my son!"
"But how does Yuan Shu explain there? At this time, I'm afraid that Yuan Shu will settle accounts after the autumn! ”
"I'm forced to wait, I think Yuan Highway will understand!"
"What if he doesn't understand? Yizhou has always been the Yizhou of our waiting, do you really think that we are as easy to compromise as the group of goods in Jingzhou? ”
"Yuan Shu's thoughts are put aside for now, and we have to think about how to protect the family now."
"Those detained by Liu Yan are all elites in our family! There is absolutely no room for loss, and there are still 30,000 elite soldiers loyal to Liu Yan in Chengdu, do we have a choice? ”
......
As soon as you say a word, everyone quickly sets the tone for this matter. Do as Liu Yan said, but with some discounts, first keep the elite children in the family. After that, I will think about how to bring down Liu Yan and curry favor with Yuan Shu.
The next day, as Liu Yan thought, all the families compromised and brought a lot of private soldiers to hand over. Pieced together, Liu Yan has more than 50,000 troops under his command, but the combat effectiveness of these soldiers needs to be verified.
Although Liu Yan was wise for a while, he was essentially the original wreck. In his heart, he still naively thought that the battle was about the strength of the two sides!
Liu Yan, who had never seen the princes begging Dong Shengju, was just a frog at the bottom of the well. Liu Yan really didn't know much about the army, and he didn't understand the gap between the generals at all, let alone the gap between the elite soldiers and the private soldiers of the family.
If he hadn't been so blind, Gan Ning and other good generals from Yizhou would not have gone far to other sides.
With an army of 100,000 in hand, Liu Yan finally had a sense of security. Later, I heard the information that Huang Zhong's army divided into two routes at Jiameng Pass, and led the troops all the way to attack Hanzhong. The rest of the army that came to attack Chengdu was no more than 50,000.
After getting this news, Liu Yan was completely relieved.
"Yuan Highway is really a greedy person, do you really think that you can take my Yizhou and Hanzhong at the same time? It's so arrogant! ”
"But it's okay, this is my chance. Maybe I can take this opportunity to cut through the mess quickly and completely control Yizhou! ”
The crazy Liu Yan has become a little arrogant after the success of forcing the family to hand over the private soldiers, and he really thinks that the strength of the army can represent everything. I really thought that the family was so simple that he could play with it in applause!
At this time, he had already begun to fantasize about how to take the opportunity to completely control the situation of Yizhou and the family with a great victory after repelling Huang Zhong's army.
Some people in Yizhou are happy and some are worried, and Guo Jia, who is at peace with Huang Zhong, is also mixed when he learns the news.
"Fengxiao, Chengdu is only 50,000 weak brigades, and my 40,000 elite soldiers can easily take it, why did the lord send you to support with 20,000 troops?"
Huang Zhong was very puzzled, the current form is that Huang Zhong can see it clearly, Liu Yan is already a turtle in the urn, and he has no chance to turn the tables, why Yuan Shu also brought reinforcements.
Guo Jia chuckled and said, "Hansheng is not in a hurry. Do you know what is the biggest obstacle to our control of Yizhou? ”
Huang Zhong was a little puzzled, the obstacle was nothing more than the city and the soldiers, what else could there be?
"Fengxiao, please also give advice."
"The biggest obstacle to our control of Yizhou is not the checkpoint soldiers, nor Liu Yan, but the family and the Nanban." Guo Jia said solemnly.
"Different from the families of Yangzhou and Jingzhou, the families in Yizhou, a closed and backward place, are particularly low-end, especially greedy and shameless. From the information I obtained, most of these Yizhou families are families with bad conduct, not so much a family as a local wealthy family. There is not a trace of integrity at all. ”
You must know that although Yangzhou was backward at the beginning, those families at least knew the general situation and knew that they could not do things that harmed others and themselves, and were too harmful to nature and reason.
And the family in Yizhou is different, it is really completely undisciplined, all evil, and the moral quality is inferior to a certain point.
would rather lose the interests of the entire Yizhou in order to pursue a little bit of interest. It's a loss of conscience.
In order to completely control Yizhou, what did these people toss Yizhou into in history? After Liu Bei took Yizhou, he found that there were less than a million people!
Is this really the so-called land of abundance? The Land of Dragons?
Even if you hide a lot of black accounts and private soldiers, you can put it together, and the total population is only 1.5 million! No matter how much it is, it can be seen by almost an individual.
You must know that the population of Jingzhou at its peak could reach six or seven million, but Yizhou was tossed into this bird-like by them. It is estimated that when Liu Bei took Yizhou, his heart was dripping blood!
At that time, Yizhou was less than half of Jingzhou in all aspects. It's no wonder that Liu Bei is going to fight hard after Guan Yu lost Jingzhou and died, it's really not enough to succeed in Yizhou!
What can a million people do? Zhuge Liang only managed to get out an army of 100,000 under the control of the left and right, plus the officials from all over the country, the proportion of Yizhou's non-productive population reached an astonishing about one and a half percent.
You must know that the Qin Dynasty was such a martial country, and it was nothing more than that!
Guo Jia saw that the bad things done by the Yizhou family in the intelligence really tore their hearts.
This is completely a group of pig teammates, absolutely not to be left behind, at least half cleared. At that time, Guo Jia sentenced most of the Yizhou families to death.
