The two were chatting, and the sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, and they saw a person riding to the door, dismounting and saying a few words to Wang Lanying, and then entering the mansion.

There's news.

Jia Xu was also a little excited, stood up, and saw that the person who came was dressed in silver armor, and he was a female general, and he was heroic.

It's none other than She Saihua.

She Saihua arched her hand and said, "I've seen the princess, my lord." ”

Jia Xu said: "What's the news?" ”

She Saihua smiled and said: "We are waiting for the plan of the adults, the inside and the outside should be together, the clumsy man led the troops to attack the north gate, sweeping the remaining three gates, the county soldiers heard that Zhao Hong and his party rebelled, most of them did not dare to resist, now the four gates have been down, my family Lang, Erlang, Sanlang, and Wulang are guarding the four gates, and at this moment the clumsy husband and Liulang have converged Qilang and Hachilang are arresting the remaining party in the city. The little woman came to reply to her life, and asked the princess and the adults to show her. ”

Princess Ma looked at Jia Xu, she didn't know what a plan was, she could only kill people with a sword.

Jia Xu understood in his heart, and asked again: "What about the casualties of our army?" ”

She Saihua said: "The casualties are not large, and a lot of county soldiers have been recruited, if you count the family members, there are no less than 5,000 soldiers who can fight now." ”

Jia Xu nodded and said, "This is very good," he said, took out a list from his bosom, and said: "Order Yang Ye, according to what is written in this list, copy it one by one, if there is resistance, kill it, and the rest of the people, regardless of old and young, will be imprisoned, interrogated strictly, waiting for the distribution, and all the family property and land will be confiscated." ”

This list is the list of the scholars in Longxi City who have colluded with Zhao Hong's party collected by Jia Xu these days.

"This..."She Saihua was a little embarrassed, if she wanted to say what kind of battlefield killing and fighting between the two armies, she was not ambiguous. But this raid on the house, and all the old and young are in prison, she can't do it.

Princess Ma on the side was also a little unbearable, and said, "Mr. Jia, is it a bit overkill?" ”

Jia Xu sighed in his heart: This old Yang family is all loyal and upright generals, and it is indeed a bit embarrassing for them to do this. But there is no one available in the hand, if only Hu Che'er was here.

In his heart, that foolish Hu Che'er is the most obedient, what to raid the family and exterminate the clan, what to kill people and destroy the mouth, as long as he gives the order, everything will be obeyed.

Jia Xu had no choice but to say with a straight face: "Princess, Heroine She, in today's situation, overkill must be corrected." First, there are still 20,000 soldiers and horses outside Longxi City who are not under our control, if these soldiers and horses come to attack, and the clans in the city raise troops to make trouble, how can we wait? The people on the list have a deep collusion with Zhao Hong's family, and they will inevitably bite back at every opportunity, and the snake will bite and enter the wood, and they must not be guarded against. ”

After a pause, he said: "Second, there have been more and more Longxi Shi clans over the years, why?" Most of the Longxi Shi people do not produce, what do they rely on to make a fortune? Xu dared to assert that Zhao Hong's family had already colluded with the Shi clan to sell illegal salt and pig iron to the grassland, and these people had a nest of snakes and rats, and had many interests with the Qiang people in the grassland. Now the border is restless, the Qiang people may come to attack at any time, if the war, these warriors behind the rebellion, at the least, can cause damage to our army, at worst, the whole army will be annihilated, and the catastrophe will not be overcome. ”

Jia Xu said seriously, and the two of them listened reasonably, only to hear him say again: "Third, my Longxi is now in serious external troubles, the Qiang people are restless, and there are many people in the court who want to harm my Wuwang Mansion, at this moment, there must be no more internal worries." Moreover, the king is now on the way, only hundreds of soldiers in his hands and thousands of new recruits, but escorted millions of grain and grass, countless gold and goods, wealth and silk are moving, and there are countless small people, the king is in danger, when the day is not safe, we must clean up the mess in Longxi as soon as possible, and regain military power. ”

Mainly the last point, Princess Ma heard her son's words that "he is in danger and in danger", so where can he care so much, and said: "These big clans are innocent, She Saihua obeyed the order, and ordered you and General Yang to quickly follow Mr. Jia's wishes, raid the family and exterminate the clan, so as to eliminate future troubles." ”

She Saihua had no choice but to accept the order, and she didn't dare to act perfunctorily, Jia Xu's words were indeed a little appalling. I can only sigh: I think that my Yang family is a general, and he will not be killed in the two armies, but today he wants to do this act of raiding the family and destroying the clan, what is this called.

The princess ordered, Jia Xu was happy in her heart, the king is really the princess's heart, and everything is easy to do when she finds this point.

Jia Xu wants to copy these big clans, in addition to what he said above, another point is that he likes the family property of these big clans.

Today's Longxi is in ruins. The money and food are not enough, he didn't say nonsense, these big clans are indeed selling illegal salt and pig iron to the grassland, and then exchanging cattle, sheep and horses, and then selling them to the Central Plains, which is a big money. But if these financial roads are not Zhao Hong's nod, how can they go on, Zhao Hong's family has made a fortune over the years.

This money is definitely not a small number, Jia Xu only hates to kill less, not only Longxi County, but also Lintao, Weiyuan, Zhangxian and Pingxiang, in his heart, none of these places can escape. It's not too easy to find these scholars, which scholar doesn't have a messy thing, and when the time comes, he will casually charge a crime, and he will raid his family and exterminate the clan in a grand manner.

Moreover, he deliberately acted so ruthlessly, it was also to scare the scholars of the other four counties, forcing them to jump over the wall in a hurry, as long as they dared to flee or make trouble, the reason for raiding their homes and exterminating the clan would be even more sufficient.

Why didn't the imperial court move these big families? Because eighty percent of the talents in the world are in the hands of the big families, and the governance of the world depends on these scholars.

Therefore, for thousands of years, the royal family and the scholar family have complemented each other, but also suspected each other.

The Great Yan Dynasty has developed to this day, and many of the big families are already very terrible, so the second prince and the king of Wu said that the disaster of the scholar clan is too great. The worst thing, such as Jiangnan and Shuzhong, the imperial court is no longer able to govern, and the officials in these places, what county orders and county guards, are just a name, and they have almost no rights.

The whip is beyond reach, internal and external troubles, and the Great Yan Dynasty is an eventful autumn.

After Jia Xu was born, it was probably because his predecessor was prejudiced against the scholars, and he was a poor family in his previous life, and he didn't want to see the scholars. He saw very clearly that the troubled times were coming, and military power was the king, although it was most appropriate to have both military power and the support of the family, but on the contrary, the family would also infiltrate the military power, and it was inevitable that there would be many constraints in acting.

For example, today's Yang family, a general, in this troubled era, needless to say, also know that it must be shining, although they are all loyal, but it is difficult to guarantee what the second and third generations will think, at that time they were also one of the big families.

Jia Xu also killed the chicken to show the monkey, he is a diehard, of course, for the sake of Zhao Ming.

It's just that he doesn't know that the entire Yang family is actually the same as him.

There was chaos in Longxi City all night, countless people died under the knife, and most of the people didn't know what was going on, so they just hid in their houses and closed their doors.

Early the next morning, Yang Ye came to report. Zhao Zhong and the rest of the party were all ambushed, and none of them ran away. The families on the list and Zhao Hong's Zhao Mansion have all been searched, but they have not yet been counted.

Jia Xu ordered: First, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and Ma Han of the Zhao Hu Dynasty should pay close attention to the trial of the scholar clan, and quickly dig out the remaining party one by one and get rid of it. The list he collected, after all, was only superficial, and he didn't know about many hidden warriors.

Second, the Yang family carefully searched for Zhao Hongyu's party in the army, Zhao Hong has been in business for many years, and there must be fish that slip through the net.

Third, a notice was posted, stating that Zhao Hong led people to attack Wuwang's Mansion last night, and Yang Ye led troops to quell the chaos.

Fourth, ask Princess Ma to come forward to appease the people in the city and reward the three armies.

Fifth, implement the next plan, find out a part of Zhao Hongyu's party, coerce and lure, and make them go out of the city to report the news, only saying that Zhao Hong and others were captured by Princess Ma and locked up in the city. Among the people who reported the news, they mixed in with the generals of the Yang family to wait for the opportunity.

Jia Xu is going to direct a good show of the alliance of the armies outside Longxi City, and Princess Ma will collect military power in front of the battle.

Speaking in two ways, when Jia Xu and Yang Ye were fighting in Longxi City, Zhang Rong on the other side was also in trouble.

However, it was said that Zhao Ren, the son of Zhao Hong, led five hundred Ruishi to chase Zhang Rong, and wanted to kill him quickly.

This night, more than fifty miles away from Lintao, Zhang Rong and Zhao Ren met.

Zhang Rong didn't know Zhao Ren, but Zhao Ren knew Zhang Rong, but at this time, he pretended not to know, like a mountain bandit and road blocker, pointed at Zhang Rong and said: "Hand over your belongings, dismount and surrender, and spare your life." ”

Zhang Rong smiled and said in his heart: I am really Zhang Rong so fooled.

Thinking of this, he said: "It seems that Zhao Hong is so bold that even I dare to kill him?" ”

Zhao Ren's face changed, and he scolded: "Good dog thief, talking nonsense, can't you find death?" ”

Load, load.

Zhang Rong said with a smile: "We have no wealth and no beauty, and everyone carries knives and practices martial arts, how can ordinary mountain bandits shoot us?" The gains outweigh the losses, and those who want to cause me to be equal to death, Zhao Hongye. If nothing good is done today, why hide? ”

Zhao Ren was furious and shouted, "Grandpa just can't get used to you, what's the matter?" "Anyway, if you don't admit it.

Zhang Rong ignored him, and only raised his voice and said: "I am Sima Zhang Rong of the Wuwang Mansion, you are my soldiers in Longxi, do you want to commit trouble with this thief?" Do you know that Zhao Hong is going to attack Wuwangfu and raise troops against Yan? ”

As soon as the words came out, the officer didn't say anything, but the big soldiers below were frightened.

Rebellion is a big crime for the Nine Clans.

Zhao Ren didn't see it well, and shouted: "Hugh wants to listen to his nonsense, what kind of palace Sima is this thief?" ”

Zhang Rongdao: "Finally admit that you are not a thief?" A certain family does not change its name, does not change its surname, and it is true that Zhang Rong is also, this is the order of King Wu given to me by the king," he said, taking out a token in his arms.

He shouted again: "Listen to me, King Wu will return to Longxi in less than a month, then Zhao Hong has already prepared to raise an army, afraid that the king will come back and find out, so he wants to attack first and want to harm the king." Today he dares to send you to kill Zhang Rong, and tomorrow he dares to let you kill the king. Who is the king? The king is the grandson of His Majesty today, and when the king returned to Longxi, His Majesty rewarded millions of grain and grass, and countless gold and goods. It can be seen that the dragon of holy grace, who dares to harm the king, will destroy the nine clans, you can not think about yourself, kill Zhang Mou and go away? But think about it for your family, what a big crime is it for the nine clans to be peaceful? Zhao Hongli wants to smoke his heart and find his own way to die, you must not make mistakes by yourself. ”
