Chapter 152: The Burial of the Four Great Families

Guo Jia sneered and continued: "Li Ru, Wang Yun, and Yuan Kui jointly engaged in such a play, it should be hidden from Dong Zhuo, if it is successful, it will also get rid of the big trouble for Dong Zhuo and his Li Ru, if it is not successful, we will see through it, we will definitely think that Dong Zhuo instigated it, and then anger Dong Min and Dong Huang, this Li Ru is really very vicious!" ”

"Feng Xiao, where are Dong Min and Dong Huang locked up now?" If it weren't for the five thousand war horses and five hundred thousand stone grain, Jin Liang would have almost forgotten the existence of these two people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

"Locked up in the dungeon of my dark headquarters." Jin Liang originally detained these two people in the barracks all the time, but later saw that there were many other generals in the barracks, and he was afraid that they would see it inadvertently, so he handed them over to Guo Jia's secret department to choose a secret place to guard.

"You go and tell them about this matter as it is, let them repair the book, and then you send someone to Luoyang to transfer the letter to Shi A, and ask him to find a way to present the letter to Dong Zhuo, remember, to present it to Dong Zhuo, not through Li Ru's hands!" Jin Liang immediately thought of a good way to make them fight in the nest.

"Lord, I'll do it right away, but I don't think it's a way for these two people to be held here, it's better to inform Dong Zhuo as soon as possible to send the war horse and food, and exchange these two guys back, just to curb Li Ru, if Li Ru can't be trusted by Dong Zhuo, then Dong Zhuo will be easy to deal with!"

"When Xiangyang is pacified, and then the bandits and hostile families in these counties of Jingzhou will be taken care of, and then I will wave my army to take Jiguan, take Jiguan, which is only more than a hundred miles away from Luoyang, and I can trade with Dong Zhuo in the valley near Jiguan!" Jin Liang planned, and then remembered Zhang Yan, who now occupied Jiguan. asked, "How is that guy Zhang Yan developing now?" ”

"Since the alliance with our Central Army. Zhang Yan's guy took advantage of the poison when he was beaten by our Central Army. Wantonly attacked the poison department, recruited the rebellion, and the power soared, and now there are 60,000 elite soldiers, and Yu Poison is now cowering in the nest and waiting to die. ”

Guo Jia developed dozens of secret agents in the Montenegrin thieves, and let them flee back to Montenegro under the pretext that they were not used to the strict military discipline of the Central Army. Every once in a while, at the foot of Montenegro to connect with the people sent by Guo Jia.

"According to our previous agreement, he wants to send the old and weak women and children on the Black Mountain down the mountain to Han Hao's Tuntian Corps?! Does he have a relationship? ”。 Jin Liang is more concerned about this issue, this is a key to containing Zhang Yan, as long as the families of those Montenegrin elite soldiers are controlled, they will not worry about Zhang Yan's sudden rebellion for the time being.

"In the past few days, more than 20,000 old and weak women and children have come down from the mountain, and more than 30,000 are packing up their things and preparing to go down the mountain." Guo Jia is currently in charge of Jin Liang's intelligence work, whether overt or covert.

"Excellent! In this way, Hao Zhao doesn't have to work so hard to attack Jiguan. Jin Liang was relieved of Zhang Yan for the time being.

"That's right. Where is that Li Cheng now?! "Jin Liang hated this Nanyang Taishou to the core.

"Li Cheng is now hiding in the Li family, and the Li family in Xiangyang is a side branch of the Li family in Longxi. The Xiangyang Wang family is also a side branch of the Taiyuan Wang family, and the Xue family and the Jia family are both vassal families of the Yuan family. It is naturally no problem for the lord to destroy the Li family and the Wang family, but to destroy the Xue family, the Jia family and the former official of the Yuan family, Li Cheng, you still have to ask Yuan Shao's opinion, if he agrees, of course it is no problem to kill him like this. As soon as he said this, Guo Jia suddenly remembered a more critical period, and hurriedly said: "A few days ago, Yuan Shao came to Xiangyang to meet the lord, and the lord persuaded him to write a letter to those Yuan's protégés and former officials to crusade against Dong Zhuo together, do you know what Yuan Shao wrote?" ”。

"What was written?" Jin Liang looked at Guo Jia's expression and knew that something was wrong.

Guo Jia said angrily: "Yuan Shao actually let them wait and see what happens!" If it weren't for the fact that I sent the agents in the Cai family to send the information of their secret conversation, I would really think that Yuan Shao wrote a letter to urge his protégé to raise troops, this Yuan Shao is really a hesitant rat! ”

"So far, he is still at both ends of the first rat? He refuses to make a decision with Dong Zhuo, so I will give him a chance to make a decision with Dong Zhuo! If his uncle Yuan Kui's family died in the hands of Dong Zhuo, if he was still like this, I would really obey him! ”

"Lord, this is really a clever plan, but we must act closely, if the truth is leaked, we will lose more than we gain!" Guo Jia said cautiously.

"Evil, you go and call Wang Yue!" Jin Liang did not directly answer Guo Jia's worries, and instructed Dian Wei to call Wang Yue over.

Since the Wangdu Incident, Jin Liang transferred Wang Yue's department to defend the palace of the Son of Heaven, while Wu Chong's department was waiting for reorganization.

Wang Yue walked like a fly, and soon arrived at Jin Liang's mansion from the Palace of the Son of Heaven: "Lord, I don't know why Wang Yue came here?!" ”

Jin Liang quietly ordered the matter, and Wang Yue was happy: "I have long hated him, the lord's strategy is really a double win, one can force Yuan Shao to express his position, and the other is to let the last general wash away the grievances that have been in place for many years!" Since Wang Yue and Huang Zhong recognized Jin Liang as their lord, Jin Liang has become more and more accustomed to this fifty-year-old man calling himself lord. Jin Liang gave another advice on the details, and Wang Yue happily took the order.

As soon as Wang Yue left Jin Liang's mansion, Dian Wei came to report: "The former general led Runan Taishou Yuan Shao to ask to see him!" ”

"Hurry up, please!"

"I was about to send someone to invite you over, and I didn't want my first brother to take the initiative to visit!" Jin Liang arched his hand and smiled.

Yuan Shao, under the protection of Yan Liangwen Chou, the second general under his command, stepped into Jin Liang's mansion: "I just went to visit a few talents, and I just returned to Yecheng, but I saw that the whole city was under martial law, and I didn't know what had happened, so I came to inquire about Fengxian." ”

"Well, it's a long story, please come inside." Jin Liang welcomed Yuan Shao into the study, accompanied by Guo Jia and Dian Wei.

"Fengxiao, you tell General Yuan all the causes and consequences, let him judge."

Guo Jia told in detail what happened in Xiangyang in the past two days. After Yuan Shao heard this, a trace of resentment appeared on his face, his uncle Yuan Kui didn't care that he was still in Jingzhou at all, and launched this series of conspiracies without even informing him. In case Jin Liang is angry with himself. Then his life will not be saved.

Yuan Shao hurriedly bowed down and said, "I apologize to Feng Xiangong for what my uncle has done. ”

"Brother Benchu. Your uncle is your uncle, you are you, and the mistakes he made have nothing to do with you, and I see this very clearly. The key now is, how to deal with these vassals of the Yuan family and the former officials of the Yuan family? I'd like to hear from Brother Benchu. Jin Liang's attitude is very peaceful.

Since these people didn't care about my Yuan Benchu's existence before launching the rebellion, why should I care about their life or death, and it is more than worth the loss to offend Jin Liang for these guys who don't know whether to live or die, Yuan Shao thought of this. He laughed loudly: "Although Yuan Kui is my uncle, why is he a thief, he has broken off with me, those vassals of the Yuan family obeyed Yuan Kui's orders, and they also rebelled against the party, and they intended to hold the Queen Mother of Heaven hostage, and they had the intention of rebellion. Don't ask me! ”

"What will I do with them when I catch them?" Jin Liang didn't want to offend Yuan Shao for no reason.

"Tell the truth and listen to Xianting. For our Yuan family, these rebellious ministers and thieves are like dead branches and leaves growing on a big tree, which need to be cleaned up from time to time to ensure that the big tree grows strongly. Xianting, follow the rules of the imperial court. Yuan Shaosen said.

"That being said, I still don't want this matter to affect the relationship between the imperial court and the Yuan family, and after the Jia family and the Xue family are defeated, I will still hand over Li Cheng and the head of the Jia family of the Xue family to Brother Ben Chu to deal with." These three people fell into the hands of Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao was bound to kill them in order to avoid suspicion, which would make many of Yuan's protégés and former officials feel cold, and gradually drift away from Yuan.

"Since Xianting said so, then I will wait for the good news of the Central Army." Yuan Shao naturally couldn't see through Jin Liang's hidden evil intentions, he sneaked into Jingzhou this time, in order to ensure that he could act freely, he only took Yan Liangwen Chou and more than a dozen capable people, and did not bring those powerless strategists, so he was repeatedly fooled by Guo Jia and Jin Liang and could not be noticed.

Yuan Shao and the three were arranged by Jin Liang to live in the guest room, and let a two-dozen soldiers guard in front of and behind their room.

Jin Liang didn't know if Yuan Shao had anything to do with Li Cheng, so in order to prevent the situation, Jin Liang sent people to keep an eye on them to prevent them from leaking the news. Except for the guard post, most of the officers and soldiers of the Central Army fell asleep soundly, so that Li Cheng and the fine work sent by the four major families could see it properly, and hurriedly went back to tell their respective family masters.

When Li Cheng and the others heard this, their originally tense nerves relaxed, and they comforted each other: "Jin Liang is a cowardly rat, he will definitely not dare to touch our family, isn't he afraid that other families will hurt him and attack him in groups?" ”

Li Cheng's consideration is indeed very reasonable, Jin Liang also took it into account, so he sent Dong Zhao, Chen Lin, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and others to talk to Li Cheng and the four good families to discuss the benefits, those families saw that Jin Liang had strong troops, and saw that he had the support of Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Dong Zhao and other families, and did not dare to act rashly, the support that Li Cheng and others hoped for did not appear, as for the support of Li Ru, Wang Yun, Yuan Kui and others, it was beyond the reach of the whip.

On the fourth watch, Li Cheng and the soldiers of the four families held on for most of the night, very sleepy, did not see the official army coming, it was expected that the officers and soldiers would not come tonight, they fell to the ground and fell asleep, even the family members on duty on the wall of Wu Fort closed their eyes sleepily, leaned against the root of the wall and fell asleep, after a short time, the whole Wu Fort snored loudly.

Thousands of black shadows quietly appeared around the Wu Fort, and out of it came a few sturdy people, whooshing and throwing flying grabs, put them on the Wu Fort wall, they flew up to the Wu Fort wall, and then tiptoed down the city wall, walked to the Wu Fort gate, and opened the gate. Thousands of black shadows waiting outside swarmed in, first went to the Wu Fort wall to control the commanding heights, and the crossbowmen opened their bows and set their crossbows on their crossbows, aiming them below.

The other soldiers first rushed to the lavishly decorated rooms to control the heads of the family, and then shouted in unison: "The Central Army clears out the rebellion, only the first evil, the rest do not ask, and those who surrender will not die!" ”

Some of the family slaves for generations, not accustomed to turning over to be the master, so they surrounded their master desperately rushed out, how could the four gates of Wubao were blocked by the elite cavalry of the Central Army, they could not clash out, the crossbowmen of the Central Army controlled the high place, and constantly shot arrows at them, arrows rained down, and a large area was shot down with a pop. Seeing that the official army is powerful, the family members who are willing to swear allegiance to the head of the family are a minority after all, most of them are greedy for life and afraid of death, and seeing that most of the leaders have been controlled by the officials and the army, the general trend of the head of the family has gone. They all surrendered. Such a scene was played out at the same time in the other three families' Wubao.

Jin Liang mobilized 40,000 elite soldiers. Split into four ways. In order to reduce casualties, in advance, some soldiers with good light body and kung fu were mobilized from Wang Yue's troops to climb into Wubao and open the gate. Let the elite of the officers and soldiers enter. Among the four Wu forts, only Wang Jiawu Bao saw through the surprise attack of the official army, beheaded the officers and soldiers who climbed up, and then resisted stubbornly, and the jaw that led this group of men and horses saw that the situation was not good, so according to the second plan estimated by Jin Liang in advance, this Wu fort was surrounded and waited for Zheng Hun's thunderbolt car to arrive.

Among these four Wu forts, the Li family in the branch next to the Li family in Longxi is the most powerful, because many children of the Li family are officials in the local army in Jingzhou. Therefore, a large number of weapons were hoarded, and there were more than 8,000 men and horses. Jin Liang personally led 10,000 Flying Tiger troops to attack Lijiabao.

Jin Liang originally thought that this Li Jiabao had so many children serving in the army, and he should have a lot of military experience, but he didn't expect that this Li Jiabao was the most unguarded among the four Wu Forts. Jin Liang was suspicious, Nima, no one is playing ambush for Lao Tzu, and when Lao Tzu leads the troops in, ten thousand arrows will be fired? !

Xu Huang saw Jin Liang's doubts, so he smiled and said: "The lord is too worried, you look at the construction of this Wu Fort, just for the sake of beauty, it is very square, there are several defensive dead ends, and there is no arrow tower built in these defensive dead corners, in my opinion, the owner of this Wu Fort must not be a person who governs the army!" Since the last general killed Yang Feng, he has rarely made any achievements, so it is better to let the last general be a striker this time. ”

Jin Liang looked at the two thousand Shanyue barbarian cavalry under Xu Huang's command, it was these barbarians who dragged Xu Huang to make military exploits, but after Xu Huang's strict training for many days, these people could barely do the order and prohibit it.

Jin Liang had already asked Xu Huang to make meritorious contributions, so that he could be promoted to be the commander of the division to stand alone, and laughed: "I have long had this intention, Gongming, you have to be careful, and you must restrain this group of guys, and don't let them rape and rob." Tell them that when they take down this Wu Fort, there will naturally be a reward, and there is no need to rush for a while. If anyone kills innocent people indiscriminately, or rapes and plunders, you must kill them on the spot. The latter words were addressed to the generals of Xu Huang's subordinates, who were all released from the inside and outside of Jin Liang's direct troops, loyal to Jin Liang and very strong in battle, enough to deter these barbarian soldiers.

Xu Huang took the lead and rushed into the Li family's Wu Fort, the eight thousand members of the Li family were lying in the courtyard, lying there in a coma, some people woke up and came up with knives and guns to fight, but they were wheeled up by Xu Huang's big axe, and their heads flew all over the sky.

The 2,000 iron horsemen broke into the 8,000 families who were careless in their defense, just like a group of hungry wolves breaking into the flock, although the sheep were large, they could not resist the vicious attack of the wolves, and suddenly there was a great chaos, and many of the families were panicked and fled everywhere.

Jin Liang saw that there was a great chaos in Wu Fort, and knew that this Li Jiawu Fort was not as strong as he imagined, so he ordered 2,000 crossbowmen to quickly follow up, occupy the four walls of Wu Fort, and shoot all the family members who dared to resist stubbornly. By the time the head of the Li family got up in a panic, put on his battle armor, and gathered the elite soldiers, the Flying Tiger Army had completely controlled Wu Bao. The two thousand elite families gathered by the Li family had just formed a formation, but they were led by Jin Liang to charge the Flying Tiger Iron Cavalry, and they became scattered.

Jin Liang drove the red rabbit horse, picked up the stone dragon knife, Dian Wei urged Jin Liang to reward his green-maned horse, picked up a pair of big iron halberds, Xu Huang urged the horse, brandished the big axe, the three fierce men were like tridents, quickly inserted into the camp of the Li family, where the three of them went, the head of the Li family flew sideways, and only heard the sound of the corpse falling to the ground. The fierce generals Cheng Lian and Wei Yue were outflanked by the Flying Tiger Iron Horse. Cao Xuan took two thousand crossbowmen and shot down, and the arrows rained down like a whizz, shooting the Li family who still dared to stand and wield weapons to the ground.

"The Central Army clears out the rebellion, only the first evil, the rest do not ask, and those who surrender will not die!" As Jin Liang roared, the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army also shouted in unison, and the Li family members saw that the general trend had gone, and they put down their weapons one after another, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.

Jin Liang ordered Xu Huang and Cao Xing to be responsible for collecting the prisoners, Wei Yue and Cheng Lian to be responsible for confiscating the family property, and Jin Liang came to Li Cheng, the head of the Li family, who was tied up with great interest, and Li Cheng, the former Nanyang Taishou Li Cheng, and scolded sharply: "You two dog thieves, when you were fornicating with Dong Thief and intending to murder the Son of Heaven, did you think of today?!" ”

These two people were stubborn and looked at each other angrily, and Li Cheng also scolded: "Golden thief, you hold the Queen Mother of Heaven hostage, and dare to say that we are thieves, if it weren't for Dong Xiangguo, Yuan Taifu, and Wang Situ to make a decision and support Chen Liuwang as the emperor, my Han court would definitely be ruined by a wolf with ambition like you." "This guy is quite good at telling words, reversing black and white, he's really a fucking talent, and his shamelessness is even worse than Wang Yun.

"You said that I held the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother hostage, if the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother are still in Luoyang and fall into the hands of Dong Thief, what will happen to them? ! You say that I hold the Son of Heaven hostage of the Queen Mother, then Lu Zhi, Ma Riyan, Liu Hong, Yang Biao, Huang Wan and other ministers are also holding the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother hostage? ! Jin Liang was also bored and argued with this shameless guy.

"If the Son of Heaven is now in Luoyang, with the assistance of loyal ministers like Dong Xiangguo, Yuan Taifu, and Wang Situ, my Han will definitely be thriving. Speaking of those ministers, I'm afraid they were also held hostage by you, not only did you hold the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother hostage, but you also held the princes and ministers hostage, you are so daring! Li Cheng reversed black and white without changing his face, looking upright.

"Good, good, you're really good at talking!" Jin Liang was completely enraged by Li Cheng's remarks that reversed black and white, and turned around and said sharply: "Evil, cut off this guy's tongue, smash his teeth, and cut off the bottom." ”

Dian Wei stepped forward, grabbed Li Cheng, picked up the big iron halberd, the crescent of the big iron halberd fell on Li Cheng's mouth with a bang, and the big molars of Li Cheng fell to the ground, Dian Wei stuffed the crescent into Li Cheng's mouth, stirred hard, and Li Cheng's tongue was crushed into minced meat. Dian Wei waved the big iron halberd again, slashed at Li Cheng's crotch, and with a snort, a caterpillar-like thing fell from below. Li Cheng fainted suddenly.

Jin Liang waved his hand: "Hang him in the head of the city for three days to set an example, and then he will be punished after three days!" ”

Dian Wei dragged Li Cheng out of the Li family castle like a dead dog, and hung it at the east gate of the most Wu castles of the family. Those families who were originally about to move saw that Jin Liang quickly pacified the four families in turmoil with thunderous means, and they were so cruel to rectify Li Cheng, their hearts were shaken, and they did not dare to think of murdering Jin Liang again in a short time.

I was so angry by Li Cheng's words just now, I felt that the revenge just now was a piece of cake and very unpleasant, so I asked the head of the Li family sharply: "Where is Li Cheng's small property?" (To be continued.) )
