Under the city of Yanmen.

Luo Cheng's White Tiger Imperial Banner appeared, causing the generation army at the head of the city to feel uneasy.

In the previous rebellion of Liu Wuzhou, those officers conspired to echo it, and the ordinary soldiers were just coerced, and most of them actually did not want to rebel.

Now looking at the overwhelming army of the Qin Emperor under the city, they are all terrified.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the city of Yanmen is strong, and if it is attacked, I am afraid that there will be a lot of damage, and our army will have to defend against the Turks. Therefore, the siege is the bottom, and the heart is the top. The Privy Council Chief of Staff drew up a strategy to attack the heart, taking advantage of the summer wind to fly a kite and throw the letter of persuasion into Yanmen City. ”

The privy envoy Zhang Xutuo proposed in front of the array.

"Yes."

The emperor agreed, so the whole army sent thousands of letters of persuasion to surrender at once, each letter was not long, but the content was consistent. It was this rebellion on behalf of the north, and the emperor only pursued Liu Wu, Zhou Yuan, Junzhang and other leaders of the rebellion, and did not pursue the officers below the captain. At the same time, as long as the battle is correct, you can still remember the merits and rewards.

There are those who beheaded Liu Wuzhou, sealed the founding marquis, and rewarded 3,000 yuan, and beheaded the three major rebels of Yuan Junzhang, Gao Manzheng, and Song Jingang, all of whom were named the founding fathers and rewarded 1,000 yuan.

The emperor also assured the landlords of the Daibei Hao clan in the city that as long as they could abandon the darkness and return to the light anyway, they would not only be not guilty of the past, but also ensure that their personal safety and property would not be violated.

Countless kites fell from the sky, with letters of persuasion and pardon, the defenders in the city rushed to read, and the illiterate ones let the literate read to everyone, and after listening, the eyes of the army changed a little.

Liu Wuzhou heard about it in the city, and hurriedly ordered to quickly collect all the letters of persuasion, and anyone who dared to hide it privately would be immediately killed.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he should divide his troops to take Lingqiu and take the troops of General Feng of Boling and Shanggu into Hedong."

"The two generals Wei Chigong and Qin Qiong listened to the order, and I ordered you to lead 12,000 troops each to Lingqiu City to meet General Feng."

"Cheng Yanjin and Xue Wanche will listen to the order, and I will order you to lead 12,000 troops each to attack Xicheng Pass, preemptively seize this Great Wall before the Turks, and if it goes well, then divide your troops to occupy Sanggan Town."

"Guo Xiaoke and Cheng Mingzhen, order the two of you to lead 12,000 people each to take Tucheng."

"Qi Guoyuan and Li Ruqi, order the two of you to lead 12,000 troops each to capture Loufu Guancheng, and if it goes well, go north to capture Shanyang City in Mayi County."

Luo Cheng sent eight generals to command nearly 100,000 troops to take the city, and only 100,000 people were left under the Yanmen Pass, and the remaining soldiers and horses were sent by him to restore the order of the cities recovered by the two counties of Yanmen and Loufu.

It has not rained for several days, and the weather is very hot.

The emperor's tent was fine, there were basins of ice in the town, and these ice cubes were all ice and snow stored in the homes of the powerful clans in the nearby city.

Before Liu Wu rebelled, many wealthy families in Daibei fell to them, and now as soon as the emperor came, they rushed to ask for guilt.

For those families who stood firm in the rebellion and did not go along with Liu Wuzhou, Luo Cheng gave full recognition and reward.

But for these families attached to Liu Wuzhou, Luo Cheng was not polite.

Although the emperor issued an order to strictly screen out those who were rebellious, and those who were only forced to give money and food from thieves were considered open-minded, but for those who went all out to rebel and rebel like the Yuan Junzhang family, they directly raided their families and exterminated the clan.

The head of the family was executed, all property was confiscated, the female dependents were confiscated into the Yeting Teaching Workshop, all the men were sent to the frontier tuntian, and their slaves were not admitted to the official position.

Now that the two counties have been recovered, there are only a few families that have been disposed of in this way, but they have deeply shaken these warriors in the east of the North and Hedong.

After recovering Taiyuan last time, the emperor ruthlessly disposed of the Taiyuan Wang clan, almost uprooting the entire Wang clan, leaving only two branches of Wang Tong and Wang Jue.

This move did cause dissatisfaction in the hearts of many Hedong scholars, and this time Liu Wuzhou rebelled, and some people secretly frowned at the rebels, and even quietly cooperated.

Although there were ice cubes in the imperial tent to cool down, at this time, the dozens of chiefs of the Beihao and strong clans were all sweaty and wet.

The Emperor kept smiling, but they thought it was terrifying.

Because of the current batch, almost all of them have some secret contacts with Liu Wuzhou's rebels, or have sent money, or donated food, or sent their children to join them.

In short, no one is innocent.

The Emperor had just sent each of them a pamphlet detailing the evidence of their collaboration.

The Yuan family was confiscated, the Liu family was confiscated, and they haven't been copied yet, but who knows if the emperor will wave his hand and uproot their family from Daibei.

To the left of the emperor stood Li Junxian, the commander of the pro-army army, with an imperceptible smile on his face.

In his opinion, the dozens of parents of the Daibei Hao clan are like fish and meat on the board at this time, and they are slaughtered by the emperor.

"I know that the land of Daibei is bitter cold and remote, and everyone's life is not easy. Although many of your families are wealthy families who have been in Daibei for a hundred years or even more than a hundred years, they have suffered a lot of border turmoil in the past, and it is precisely because of the special geography and history of Daibei that you have your own way of survival, which is understandable. ”

The emperor's words turned around in this city.

"It's just that, I don't like the way you used to behave in the past, maybe in your opinion, the border land of Daibei, the Hu people will go south, and the court will take it back, and even the Hu people will come to loot from time to time, the court sometimes advances and sometimes retreats, but your family is rooted here and can't leave, so the Turks came, you paid tribute to the Turks, the court came back, and you paid rent to the court·······"

"It's not good, I don't like it."

The Emperor gave these people another choice, or no choice.

Luo Cheng asked these Daibei wealthy clans to hand over all the fields and properties in their hands to the imperial court, and the imperial court would give them land to build houses in the land of Liujing and move to the past, so as to settle the old and weak women and children in various ethnic groups. Then they were given to exchange the land in Annan for the grange, one to two, and one acre of land in the north was exchanged for two acres of land in Jiaozhi and other counties in Annan.

The sweat on Yu Chilin's face slipped down, and he didn't dare to wipe it.

The Weichi family is a century-old strong family in Yanmen, in fact, they are Sinicized Xianbei, Xianbei and Han people are married and mixed, the degree of sinicization is very high, and it can be regarded as taking root in the north of this generation, and the power is also very strong.

The Weichi family has more than 100 males, more than 1,000 servants in the family, and even more than 200 soldiers of their own. This is also a very strong strength in a border area like Yanmen, on the one hand, they have a large number of granges, and on the other hand, they have been going deep into the grassland for many years to sell horses to the south, so it can be said that there are rich and rich people.

In the past, the relationship between the Wei Chi family and Liu Wuzhou was good, and before Liu Wuzhou's rebellion, the Wei Chi family had already spent money to open up the joints and arranged for several children to serve in the Yingyang Mansion.

After Liu Wuzhou's rebellion, Wei Chi's family secretly supported, gave money and food, and sent several children to bring family soldiers over.

When Yu Chilin was eighteen years old, he inherited the position of patriarch of the family left by his father, and refined his ability to be left and right in the turbulent frontier.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to give 3,000 stone grain to reward the army." He whispered, "Also, the minister is willing to give half of his family wealth to help the army put down the rebellion." ”

Yu Chilin knew very well the meaning of the emperor's words, if it came to that point, Yu Chi's family would almost be ruined. moved to Liujing for resettlement, but only the old and weak women and children were resettled, this is a hostage. However, the Qingzhuang people want to replace their family business with Annam.

That's almost the end of the world, and they, who are accustomed to the cold and windy wind of Daibei, want to go to Annan, where the miasma is rampant? Did they suffer from the scorching heat in Annan?

Not to mention that two acres of land are exchanged for one acre of land, and ten acres for one acre is not willing to go.

And his Wei Chi family relied not only on that bit of land in Daibei, but also on the family's horse selling business, and when he went to Annan, how could he sell horses?

Unfortunately, the emperor did not consult with them.

"Don't want to go? Or do you still want to stay in Daibei so that you can continue to collaborate with the enemy and aid the rebellion? Well? ”

"Xiaomin doesn't dare, don't dare." Yu Chilin and the others were so frightened that they all knelt on the ground, and they didn't dare to make a sound.

"Don't dare? Then I will believe that you don't dare, I will give you a choice, either go to Annan, or hand it over to the three divisions to review and inform you of the crime of rebellion, choose one of the two, choose! ”

Yu Chilin lay on the ground, his buttocks pouting high.

His body trembled like chaff, this pale-faced middle-aged Wei Chi family master seemed to be cowardly at this time, but in fact, in Yanmen County, he was notoriously ruthless.

Those who dare to go against the Wei Chi family will never end well, and they will even disappear. Wei Chi's family sold horses and lent money, borrowed their lamb profits, and if they couldn't pay it back when it was due, many people could only sell 0 as slaves, and he sent them to the grassland to be sheep shepherd slaves.

But at this time, in front of Emperor Great Qin, Yu Chilin didn't dare to say anything.

He just knelt on the ground and kept begging the emperor, saying that he was willing to give half of his family wealth to the emperor.

But Luo Cheng didn't care at all.

He is the Son of Great Qin, not a horse thief who kidnaps tickets for extortion.

"I don't bargain!"

Yu Chilin suddenly collapsed to the ground.

The Wei Chi family is finished.

In the imperial tent, there was a cry.

But the emperor waved his hand in disgust, and immediately the imperial guards dragged them out.

After these people were dragged away, the tent was much quieter for a while.

The emperor said to the privy envoy Zhang Xutuo, "Since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, there have been many victories and defeats against the northern grassland tribes, but the Central Plains and the grassland are still in the Great Wall and outside the Great Wall. It's time to change the policy, south of Yinshan, there will be a new border between the Central Plains and the grassland, and the desert will be a buffer zone between the Central Plains and the steppe nomadic tribes. ”

"Let's start with these wealthy clans in the north, move them away, and then move the people in Tuntian to reclaim the border, set up a new frontier garrison and garrison the army, and garrison the government soldiers."

Veteran Zhang Xutuo expressed his support for this, "I hope that Biansai will return to peace as soon as possible!" ”
