After fierce debate, he finally listened to Zhu Yunwen's opinion, and basically in accordance with the Tang law, the nine clans were reduced to three clans, the brothers were reduced from death to exile in Suiyuan, and the sons under the age of 16 and related female dependents were also exiled to Suiyuan.

After this decision was announced, the government and the opposition reacted differently, and most of the courtiers thought that the emperor was merciful and would not be as murderous as Emperor Hongwu, and they were secretly relieved. However, the rebellious King of Zhou, King Yan and their subordinates felt that Zhu Yunwen was not decisive enough to kill, but strengthened his will to rebel, even the people involved Ru Yu, Chen Ying and others, because their relatives were killed, and it was meaningless for them to have their brothers survive.

By the Laoha River, Guo Ying's big tent.

Half an hour ago, the striker Liao Xun sent a person, claiming to be Fu Rang, the youngest son of Fu Youde, the king of Lijiang. When Fu Rang saw Guo Ying, he cried: "Uncle Guo, Wang Bi, the old thief, killed my father!" ”

Guo Ying was shocked, and immediately issued a gag order to the surrounding guards, personally brought Fu Rang to the big tent, and retreated everyone.

Listening to Fu Rang's crying, Guo Ying's face became more and more ugly, and when it came to Wang Bi's straightforward words, Guo Ying slapped the table with a "snap": "Shut up!" ”

Fu Rang was frightened: "Uncle Guo, what's wrong?" ”

Guo Ying's face was gloomy, and his right hand subconsciously touched the hilt of the sword, and said in a low voice: "Virtuous nephew, these rebellious words of Wang Bi are rotten in your stomach, don't mention them to anyone, understand?" ”

"Why?"

"You don't have to worry about this, you just need to remember it, can you do it?"

Looking at Guo Ying's fierce appearance, Fu Rang was a little frightened, and quickly nodded again and again like a chicken pecking rice. After a while, Fu Rang said in a low voice: "Uncle Guo, what if the emperor asks?" ”

Guo Yingleng paused for a moment and said in a low voice: "If the emperor asks, try to be vague as much as possible, if you can't be vague, then tell the truth." ”

"Oh, my nephew knows." Fu Rang lowered his head, a little frightened.

After a while, Guo Ying suddenly remembered: "Virtuous nephew, did Wang Bi say anything else?" ”

"Oh, when he had just said that, he cut the rope from me with a knife and let me go, and when he left, he asked me to bring you a message."

"What?"

"Well, he asked his nephew to bring you a message, saying that he had laid a net and asked you not to go over, otherwise don't blame him for not being merciful."

"Oh," Guo Ying thought for a while, and after a while, said, "Virtuous nephew, is there anything unusual about you during your time in Wang Bi's army?" Are King Zhou and Feng Sheng in the army? ”

"This," Fu Rang thought for a moment and said, "Since I was imprisoned by the old thief, I have hardly seen outsiders, but more than twenty days ago, Feng Sheng came to see me, and he also persuaded me to surrender, but I didn't agree. ”

"Are you sure it was more than twenty days ago?"

"Pretty much, I'm not sure."

"Have you seen Feng Sheng and King Zhou after that?"

"No, but a few days ago, Wang Bi asked me to talk, on the way, there were soldiers with urgent letters, asking to see King Zhou, I just walked to the door of the tent, saw someone inside, but the tent was a little dim, I didn't see the king of Zhou clearly, but I saw Feng Sheng clearly, he stood opposite King Zhou, with his back to me."

"How many days ago did you confirm?"

"Well, it should be four or five days."

Guo Ying asked a few more times, and felt that there was nothing to ask, so he asked Fu to take him down to rest.

After Fu Rang left, Guo Ying fell into deep thought, and Fu Rang's return plunged him deeper into the fog.

According to Fu Rang, Fu Youde was killed by Wang Bi, so Wang Bi rebelled, which made Guo Ying very puzzled, if Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill Fu Youde, he would not take such an obscene method, in his impression, Zhu Yuanzhang is a person who dares to act, if he wants to kill Fu Youde, he can just give him death, why let King Yan and Wang Bi intervene.

Moreover, if it was really Wang Bi who was ordered to kill, then why did he rebel? He just carried out the orders of the first emperor, could the emperor not recognize the orders of the first emperor?

So Guo Ying had some suspicions that Fu Rang was lying, if so, then Fu Rang would be unreliable, maybe he also rebelled with Wang Bi.

and Wang Bi's words narrated by him, which are very incendiary and can resonate with heroes. Guo Ying even regretted hearing these words, he understood that there is no absolute secret in the world, if these words reach the ears of the emperor, then the emperor is likely to be suspicious of the remaining heroes, such as Geng Bingwen, Marquis of Changxing, Wu Jie, Hou Wu Jie of Anlu, Wu Gao of Jiangyin Hou and these people, then these people are dangerous.

Guo Ying held his forehead, shook his head and smiled bitterly, maybe Wang Bi did it on purpose, he was forcing himself to attack, otherwise if these words reached the emperor's ears, he would probably think that he had compassion and deliberately let Wang Bi go, and the consequences would be unimaginable! Alas!

As for Wang Bi's so-called Tianluo Net, Guo Ying is not surprised, if Wang Bi is so easy to deal with, he will not become the founder of the country. In addition, Fu Rang didn't really see the whereabouts of Feng Sheng and King Zhou, so Guo Ying first felt that this was a trick, in order to cover up the fact that Feng Sheng and King Zhou left. But this judgment is based on Fu Rang's truth, but Guo Ying can't be sure about this matter.

In the end, Guo Ying decided to move on, whether it was a trap or a bluff, he had to try it to find out.

The Laoha River originates from Pingquan and is a river where spring water gathers, so the closer you get to Pingquan, the shallower, thinner, and clearer the river becomes. In the evening, the striker Liao Xun reported that he had caught up with Wang Bi, and there was Wang Bi's banner and a large number of cavalry on the hillside near the source of the Laoha River.

After Guo Ying arrived, after carefully observing the terrain, he also had a little headache, Wang Bi was condescending, and there were a large number of cavalry, so it was impossible to attack on his own. Guo Ying thought for a while, he estimated that the old and weak women and children should flee behind the mountain, so he ordered the cavalry not to get close to the bottom of the mountain, only to monitor from a distance, and at the same time ordered Liao Xun to lead 10,000 cavalry around, if Wang Bi on the mountain did not retreat, Liao Xun would be responsible for chasing and killing those old and weak women and children; If Wang Bi retreats, he will bite Wang Bi tightly and cover the Chinese army over the hillside at the same time.

At the same time as Liao Xun detoured, Guo Ying observed Wang Bi on the mountain with a telescope from afar, and he found that Wang Bi was also observing here with a telescope, Guo Ying found that Wang Bi's subordinates were a little commotion, but Wang Bi himself was very calm.

After a quarter of an hour or so, Guo Ying found that Wang Bi waved his hand, the cavalry turned around, and a large amount of smoke and dust was immediately lifted on the hillside.

Soon, Liao Xun's cavalry appeared on the mountain. When he saw the signal of safety, Guo Ying waved his hand, and the cavalry under his command poured up the hillside like a tide.

Guo Ying stood on the mountain, observing Wang Bi's army in the distance. The old and weak women and children were a little flustered, and the cavalry that served as protection was deployed on the side facing them. He looked at the sky, it was about to get dark, he had to make a decision, this place was close to Xifengkou Pass, the Yan army of Xifengkou could come out to rescue at any time, Wang Bi's cavalry was not only less than himself, but also to protect women and children, he had an absolute advantage, and he could fight quickly.

After pondering for a moment, Guo Ying decided to attack, he asked Zhao Baoyuan, who went to inform the rearguard, to quickly come to help in the battle, Liao Xun led five thousand cavalry to make a detour, slashing and killing the old and weak women and children, and messing with his army's morale, and then Guo Ying waved his hand, and the 20,000 army rushed to Wang Bi like a tiger descending the mountain......
