Three days later.

The armies left Mianzhu and went straight to Shu County, Yongchang County and Chengdu. According to the Shadow Report, since Zhuge Liang was captured, the clans of the Cheng capital have been disheartened, and most of them have fled.

Some reluctant to go home stayed in Chengdu and resigned themselves to fate.

In short, the current Chengdu is equivalent to an empty city.

Those families with private soldiers were in a hurry to disband the team, for fear of being severely punished after being caught by Lu Bu.

Without private soldiers, there are only a few thousand old and weak left, and there are also the elite Wudang Flying Army that Zhuge Liang has always praised. It's a pity that after the formation of the Wudang Flying Army, it has not experienced a decent battle.

What his combat effectiveness is, it is not yet known.

However, his members were made up of barbarians from the southern and central regions, and it was easy to capture them, but it was somewhat difficult to collect them.

this day.

The 150,000 troops of Han Xin, Zhang Ren, and Xiang Yu arrived in the northern suburbs of Chengdu.

"Report..."

Half a day's journey from Chengdu, a soldier came to report: "The families of Chengdu are willing to open the city to surrender, and I hope that the lord can open the net and not slaughter the family of Yizhou." ”

"Go and tell the family in Chengdu that my lord will not slaughter the city, let alone slaughter the family." Han Xin replied.

"No."

The scouts leave.

Xiang Yu glanced at Han Xin and snorted, "General Han overstepped his authority, right?" Can you call the shots? ”

"I'm also thinking about the overall situation, do you really want to fight to the death?" Han Xin said: "We all know the city defense of Chengdu, it is an iron wall. We don't have enough zha medicine to blow up the towers. If you attack with a ladder, when will you be able to capture the capital? If the family wants to be soft, why should we refuse? ”

"Hmph, these families should be damned. We have been attacking Chengdu for more than a year, and it was they who provided Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang with food and ordnance. Now seeing that Zhuge Liang was captured, Liu Bei has gone and wants to surrender? It's shameless! According to my temper, I have to clean all the families in Yizhou, and no one will be left, which is also the consistent style of my lord since he started the army. ”

Regarding Xiang Yu's remarks, Han Xin did not dare to agree.

There is a cloud in the art of war: the upper army is strategic, the second is the enemy, the second is the army, and the next is to attack the city. Now that there is a chance to occupy the capital without using swords, why bother yourself?

Do you really have to die tens of thousands of people to feel comfortable?

Next.

At dawn.

The troops of Han Xin, Xiang Yu, and Zhang Ren went to Cheng to accept the surrender of the family.

The talents of the family led by Zhang Song, Fa Zheng, Huang Quan, and Li Yan greeted each other in Kaicheng. Han Xin was also not polite, and before Xiang Yu got angry, he hurriedly pulled the troops to the city and took over the chengdu.

"Where's the lord?" After entering the city, Xiang Yu asked the soldiers who came to report the letter.

"The lord's troops are behind, and they should arrive tomorrow."

"Got it."

Xiang Yu pondered in his heart. The clans of Yizhou, plus the clans of Jingzhou, are all in the territory of Chengdu, Yongchang, and Shu County. Let's not talk about the previous things, since the new army entered Sichuan and Shu, what a price it has paid. Shouldn't you get it back?

Just let go of the family in Yizhou?

Xiang Yu believed that Lu Bu's administrative methods would not change. The Yizhou family has to be wiped out! However, now that Han Xin is blocking him, he is not easy to make a move, and he is ready to ask for Lu Bu's consent after Lu Bu arrives.

In the blink of an eye.

By the next day.

Lu Bu's car rushed to Chengdu.

"Kill...!"

As soon as they arrived at the city gate, hundreds of assassins suddenly rushed out and surrounded Lu Bu's car. Lu Bu slowly walked out of the car, took Fang Tian's halberd, killed most of the assassins, and ordered the Dragon Guard soldiers to capture the rest of the assassins.

"Lord, are you alright?" Xiang Yu and Zhang Ren arrived when they heard the letter.

The families in Chengdu are all frightened and at a loss, and everyone is in danger.

Lü Bu rushed to the Assassin's Mansion and immediately interrogated the Assassins.

After half a column of incense.

All the generals and officials (including Xu Shu) went to the main hall of the Assassin's Mansion to listen to Lü Bu's lecture.

"I have just arrived in Chengdu, and someone is in a hurry to harm me? Well? Who the hell is it? Lu Bu yelled angrily twice.

Xu Shu came out and said: "My lord, according to our people's interrogation, we found that it was some family in the city..." ”

"Another family?!"

Lu Bu said angrily: "I originally wanted to let them go, but I didn't expect them to harm me instead of knowing what to do." Yuan Zhi ordered Li Jing, Yang Lin, Pei Yuanqing and Jiang Pu to carry out a comprehensive purge of the family forces in Shu County and Yongchang County. In every city, a notice was posted for the people to report, no matter who reported it, and no matter whether the person who was reported had done something harmful to heaven and reason, as long as it was a family, they would all be killed. Xiang Yu is in charge of the territory of the Cheng capital, those families who have helped Liu Bei... ”

Lu Bu crackled and said a lot.

Han Xin's hairs stood on end when he listened.

The families in the capital of Cheng, including Zhang Song, Fa Zheng, Li Yan, Huang Quan, etc., are all the leading figures in Yizhou, and they are also the talents who govern Yizhou.

Han Xin had to persuade: "Lord..." ”

"General Han doesn't need to say much. There is not a good thing in the family, it must be killed! "Lu Bu also has his own difficulties, all the land in Yizhou is in the hands of the family, if the family is not cleaned up, how can the land be recovered? How to return the land to the people?

If you don't use some ruthless means and let the family take power, the people of Yizhou still don't have a good life.

At the end of the day, it's a matter of land ownership!

"I've said everything you need to say, and you just do it. Let's all go back. Lu Bu waved his hand.

"No..."

The officials and generals who had followed Lu Bu for a long time didn't feel anything wrong and retreated steadily. Zhang Ren, Han Xin, etc., are a little difficult to accept.

Especially Han Xin, he could see at a glance that the assassins who assassinated Lu Bu at the gate of the city were arranged by Lu Bu himself. It's just that I want to find a reason, so that all the families in Yizhou can be cleaned.

This is a clear attempt to exterminate the Yizhou clan.

Han Shin stayed.

Xu Shu also stayed.

"Why don't you two leave?" Lu Bu asked.

Han Xin said: "The lord wants to clean up all the rebel forces like the states of the Central Plains. The last general thinks it's good, but it should be treated differently. Some of the influences are too great, can they stay? After all, the lord is going to take over Yizhou, and he has to rely on the influence of these families to win people's hearts and attract talents... ”

"I don't think there's any need to explain this, right? I don't need to be in the family, and I don't need the talent of the family. They want to work for me, but I won't accept it. I just need to win the hearts of the people in Haoyizhou. I'm going to take out all the money and food that I have confiscated from the family. Then 200,000 stone grains and 150,000 yuan were transferred from the household department and distributed equally to the people of Yizhou. I believe that the people will know that they can live a good life with me, and the little thing I clean up the family will not be a matter. As long as the people don't oppose me, I'm not afraid of anyone who opposes me. ”

Lu Bu is so stubborn, Han Xin is not easy to persuade again.

He set his eyes on Xu Shu, hoping that Xu Shu would speak.

Xu Shu arched his hand and said: "Lord, the minister wants to ask for a favor." ”

"Intercession? Didn't you agree with me doing this? How? Are you going to regret it? Lu Bu asked.

"It's not a remorse. The minister meant that what General Han said just now was not entirely wrong. Like Zhang Song, Fa Zheng, Li Yan, Huang Quan. These are all talents. Can we treat them differently? Give them a chance to govern Yizhou. Xu Shu said.

"Yes..."

"Thank you, Lord."

"Don't rush to thank you. I'm not done yet. Go and ask them, after their property has been confiscated, their land has been confiscated, their houses have been confiscated, and they are still willing to serve? If I want, I don't have a second word. If you don't want to... I also gave them a way to live, and rewarded them with a hut in the local area, and became ordinary people. That's my biggest concession. ”

The corners of Xu Shu and Han Xin's mouths twitched fiercely.
