Speaking of which. This question raised by Zhang Fan. Liu Xian really didn't think about it.

Liu Xian is a person who has fought all his life. But even so. Something. Liu Xian may not know it. If you think about it. Although said. The Ming Dynasty was founded from the beginning of the dynasty. For more than 200 years now. In fact, there are constant rebellions. Maybe it's because Zhu Yuanzhang, a reckless-born character, can ascend to the throne. It made the rest of the people restless. I feel that I seem to have the strength to win that throne.

For two hundred years. There was constant war within the Ming Dynasty. It's just that the scale is not too big. But. Liu Xian, a man who has fought all his life. But he hardly led any troops to suppress any internal rebellion. The last time I exterminated the servants, it could be counted as a single time. And even with the addition of this battle, the battle has not yet been fought. It's only the second time. So. Liu Xian has read so many military books. Each book has a clear record on it. But he still didn't think of a single thing. That is. The families of these rebels.

Speaking of which. Since Liu Xian went to Zhejiang to serve as the general of the capital division. He fought for the rest of his life. That is the official prelude. But. Even if he fought a lifelong battle. Numerous victories have also been obtained. The number of enemies destroyed is even more innumerable. Merely. The ones he struck. Almost all of them are widows.

It doesn't matter who these robbers are. For what reason did you come to the territory of the Ming Dynasty to plunder. But one thing is for sure. These people are foreign enemies.

And apparently. Since it is against foreign enemies. You don't have to think about so many things. For Liu Xianlai. He just needs to remember one thing. These would-be robbers who dared to invade the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Kill them all. Even if you can't kill them all. and cast them out. And let them bring back the truth that the great tomorrow is inviolable. Let the other pirates even want to come here to grab things in the future. Think twice before you act, too.

And obviously. Words against foreign enemies. There is no need to think about where the family is not or something. And in the last battle against the servants. Liu Xian didn't think of these things. After all, the servants have been galloping on this land for thousands of years. Its prestige spreads far and wide. And it lives up to its name. Therefore. Just fight against the main force of the servants. Even if Liu Xian has 120,000 elite soldiers. In addition, the heavy grain and grass that have been prepared for a long time are in hand. But it's not something that can be easily won. So. Liu Xian didn't have time to care about those things at all.

Therefore. This time the war. Liu Xian because of this inertia. I didn't think about it at all. I'm going to find the other person's family or something.

And now. Zhang Fan raised this question. Liu Xian naturally felt that his eyes lit up.

Merely. Such a dazzling thing. It only lasted for a while. The next moment. Liu Xian felt it. Although Zhang Fan raised this matter. It's a good idea. But if you really want to use this thing to break through the current trouble. But it's not an easy task.

"General Liu must have thought of something." Seeing the change in the expression on Liu Xian's face. Zhang Fan asked.

"Not bad. Mr. Zhang's words. I just thought about it. Liu Xian nodded. Said. "Although said. Threaten the other person's family. This kind of thing is a bit despicable. But now that they've done something out to rebel. Whatever the reason. They're just a bunch of thieves. So. Even this method is a bit inferior. But I think it's good.

"Only. There's some trouble in that, too. It's not that easy to do. Please think about it, Lord Zhang. Since the other party dared to follow those two people to do so. They should know too. What do you have to do? Since they are going to do the thing of rebellion. I don't believe they will be unprepared. I'm afraid even their families. It's already been pre-arranged. Just in case we come to do this.

"Although said. These people are all tribes who live near this Yongning Mansion. Even their families are still here. I'm afraid it must have been hidden. There are two big rivers here, though. However, the surrounding terrain is not flat. There are also some mountains and forests nearby. If you talk about the families of these people. It's all about hiding there. I'm afraid I want to find them. It's not just time-consuming. We don't have enough manpower. ”

"Hmm. General Liu has a point. Zhang Fan's words to Liu Xian. The expression is very agreeable. "But General Liu. I don't seem to have understood what I mean. I talked about their families though. Naturally, they want to threaten them with their families. But I didn't say it. I'm going to have to arrest all of their families. ”

"Don't grab it." Zhang Fan's words. Liu Xian was confused. "This ...... When I don't catch it. And how to threaten it? Liu Xian didn't understand what Zhang Fan meant.

"General Liu. Something. It doesn't have to be useful to grab the other person's handle. Zhang Fan smiled. Said. "It's like this one. We didn't catch the families of these people, though. But let's just know. That's what we can do with them. That's enough. When the time comes. Just tell these people. If they don't surrender right away. We're going to do it to their families. I don't think they can stay in the city like that and not come out. ”

Zhang Fan's meaning is very clear. as a handle. You don't have to get it. It's like a lot of things in the court. The two sides fight. It doesn't have to be actually grabbing the other person's pigtails. Of course. This is also a last resort. Sometimes it's just a lack of time. And sometimes it's very difficult. But that's okay. Just let the other person know. This side understands his weaknesses. Even if you don't have time. But if you have the ability to find his weaknesses. This side will be able to compete with each other.

And this time. In the face of this rebellion of more than 20,000 people, it is a truth. their families. Not to mention today. I think I've been hiding in the mountains and old forests somewhere here. And now. The situation inside Yongning Mansion. It's pretty stable though. But no one knows how long this stability will last. So. Now go get these guys. There is no such time.

And. These people must be numerous. Imagine. It's just these rebels. There were already 20,000 of them. And the families of these people. How many people do you have to add up? Say less. I have to have another twenty or thirty thousand. If you want to arrest these people. There are simply not enough people.

Liu Xian had only 50,000 men under his command. And these 50,000 people still have to take care of Yongning Mansion. Just in case something goes wrong. And it is irrational to transfer troops from other provinces. One is that there is simply not enough time. Second, there were garrisons in the surrounding provinces. Now I know what is going on here. All of them are taking strict precautions. In case the local minority people will follow suit and rebel.

Although said. Now want to bring these people's families. It's all in your hands. And then threaten these people. It's already impossible. But that doesn't mean. Zhang Fan and Liu Xian couldn't take advantage of this matter and threaten them.

"In other words...... "Liu Xian now understands what Zhang Fan means." We don't need to arrest these people. Just let those who are in Yongning Mansion know now. We can get them. Even now we can't do anything about it. It didn't work. But once they dare to do something. Then we'll take aim at their families. Blood debt and blood repayment. The sins they committed. Naturally, someone has to pay it back. ”

"Lord Liu is right. That's exactly what I meant. Zhang Fan nodded. Said. "Speaking of which. These people don't care what. The reason for the rebellion. I don't think it's just for themselves. It must also be for their families. Maybe wait until they succeed. It doesn't matter what your family is. But the situation now. They have no chance of winning. Because of this. Family. It has become their concern. Come to think of it. No one wants to cut off their children.

"When the time comes. Let's just make it clear to them. If they're so obsessed. Or refuse to open the city and surrender. Then we're going to do it to their families. ”

"What Master Zhang said is not unreasonable. It's just ......" Liu Xian obviously agreed with Zhang Fan's words. But there are many more places. He didn't figure it out. "But. Now we haven't caught their families after all. In case the time comes. These people are really so stubborn. If you don't cry if you don't see the handle. Then it's not like we can't do anything. ”

"That's not a problem." Zhang Fan said. Apparently he had already thought about it. "When the time comes. When talking to them. Let's add one. Just let them know. We haven't caught their families yet. But if they don't agree. Wait until you have exterminated them. We won't spare their families either.

"Even if their families hide well. We couldn't find it for a while. But tell them. We'll take our time. Even if it drags on for a few years. We also want to take revenge on this. If that's the case. It was impossible for them not to agree. ”

"This ......" Liu Xian said to Zhang Fan. There was some hesitation for a moment. Not that he disagrees. That's it. Isn't it amazing? But the situation at hand...... I thought about it. Liu Xian nodded. agreed with Zhang Fan's approach. But he had other questions. "There's another question. Mr. Zhang. Who are we going to send to tell them? Although it is said that Mr. Zhang has thought of a good way. I also think I can use this method to take them down. But if you send our people. I'm afraid they won't see it at all. Won't it be troublesome again? ”

"General Liu, please rest assured." Zhang Fan smiled. Said. "I've already figured out how to do it."
