Of course, to treat these big families, you can't keep holding a big stick, but also give them some carrots, carrots are official positions!

In addition to teasing some families, carrots also divided the originally monolithic family. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After the rebellion of these seventeen families was quelled, one after another invitations were sent out from Wancheng, and Pegasus was sent to various families in Nanyang County.

All of a sudden, whether it was a big family with thousands of troops or a small and medium-sized family with hundreds of soldiers, their heads of families received invitations, saying that General Pingnan would hold a banquet to invite all the heads of the family.

Hongmen feast? There was such a question mark in the hearts of all the heads of the families, but the invitation said that because there were many official positions and few ministers, the heads of various families were specially convened to discuss the matter.

Xu Shu asked, "Lord, aren't you worried that they won't come because they tortured and killed those family heads before?" ”

Wei Yan sneered: "What is a family, it is not a big family established for generations as officials and then using power to seek benefits in all aspects, if no one from a certain family is an official, no matter how powerful that family is in other aspects, it will be looked down upon." Those families seem to be intertwined on the surface, and they are in the same spirit, but in fact, they are intrigued and deceitful, and they can't tolerate other families to be more prominent than their families, and I expect that the families who come over this time will definitely occupy more than half of the families in Nanyang County. ”

Sure enough, as Wei Yan expected, although the heads of those families in Nanyang County were worried that it was a Hongmen banquet, they also knew that Wei Yan would not dare to kill them all, as long as more than 100 of their family heads died in Wancheng, the more than 100,000 coalition troops of more than 100 families could immediately swallow Wancheng, and Wei Yan couldn't make that determination.

Since Wei Yan can't make that determination, then Wei Yan's meaning is obvious, he is here to win them over, he wants to give them official positions, since the invitation has been written like that, the gentleman is quick to say a word, and this time he will definitely be able to get an official position for the children of the family.

Except for a very small number of families who still hooked up with Liu Biao, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu, the heads of other large and small families came to Wancheng one after another, and most of them brought their own children who thought they were excellent.

Previously, because many families did not cooperate very much, Wei Yan's three counties of Yiyang did lack administrative personnel such as county orders and county officials, and they really needed elite talents to fill them, but Wei Yan didn't want to let those other family talents with different aspirations occupy those key official positions.

After being reminded by Wei Yan, Li Yan, Deng Zhi, Hu Ji, Dong Ju and others all brought the family elite to Yecheng.

Xu Shu asked Wei Yan: "My lord, are you really willing to give up the vacant position to those families?" ”

Wei Yanlang laughed loudly: "Yuan Zhi, don't you know me yet?" How can I allow these future enemies to take advantage of me? There are not many official positions with real power, and most of them are purely decorations. Even if the children of those families seize the official positions with real power, I will slowly transfer the real power of that official position to other official positions, at least the county orders at all levels no longer have military power, and all the military power is held by county lieutenants at all levels, and the county orders held by those family figures can only be engaged in administrative matters, and in the future, they will be slowly replaced by the talents we have cultivated ourselves. ”

Ten days after Wei Yan's invitation was sent, 18 of the 109 families in Nanyang County, large and small, came, and 21 did not come under various excuses.

Wei Yan's patience was limited, so he blacklisted these families, first sent people to collect the evidence of these families' crimes, and when the evidence was conclusive and the soldiers were ready, he raided those families and attacked the Wu Castle and treated them according to the previous treatment of those rebel families.

The banquet passed smoothly, and all the families who came to participate in the banquet got official positions, and all of them left excitedly.

After having an official position, they also got a share of the benefits of the store and other interests, and these families gradually became supportive of Wei Yan from neutrality, and the order of Nanyang County gradually stabilized.

Of course, they didn't know that in Wei Yan's heart, they had always regarded them as old enemies, but it was only now that it was inconvenient to eradicate them, so they temporarily formed a united front with them.

……

Wei Yan stayed in Yu Ban to cooperate with Li Yan in dealing with the aftermath of the reorganization and surrender of troops.

After the reorganization, there are 10,000 horses guarding near Wancheng, so there is no need to worry too much for the time being.

Wei Yan, Xu Shu, and Xu Huang led most of the men and horses back to Yiyang New Town.

There is also a very important prisoner in the team, Fan Jian.

Along the way, Fan Jian kept cursing: "Wei Yan Pifu! It's too late to think of returning to Yiyang City now! Yiyang City has been attacked by our internal and external alliances, your wives and concubines have been occupied by our people, and the wives and concubines of your soldiers have also been ruined by our people, and the money in your money village has become ours, haha, Wei Yanpifu, you have worked hard for a year, and in the end, all of them have cheapened our family! ”

At this time, the good news of Yiyang New City continued one after another: "The plan of the Jiangxia coalition army to cooperate with the outside was seen through by the full favor, and the full favor will plan and shoot the enemy general Chen Sun!" ”

"The yellow shot finally attacked the city unfavorably, and retreated more than ten miles!"

"Wen Ping and Gan Ning attacked Jiangxia Shijiawu Fort, and the Jiangxia family alliance troops withdrew one after another!"

"General Guan Hai attacked the Yellow Shooting Camp at night, and the Yellow Shooting was defeated!"

Fan Jian was shocked when he heard the good news coming one after another: "How come? How so? Wei Yanpifu, you deliberately made some false good news to deceive the soldiers! I don't believe it! I don't believe it! ”

Wei Yan rode his horse and looked down at Fan Jian: "Cheap, whether you believe it or not, anyway, my soldiers and I believe it, because this is an ironclad fact!" Now, our army happens to be passing by your Fanjiawu Fort! Would you like us to come in and patronize it? ”

Fan Jian remembered that Wei Yan had castrated all the direct male family members of the head of the family and sent all the direct female family members to the Red Powder Camp or Qinglou, which was so frightened that his soul was scattered, which made him even more uncomfortable than killing him, and hurriedly shouted: "Wei Yan! I am willing to give you all my possessions, but I beg you not to do anything to my family! ”

Wei Yan looked down at Fan Jian: "Cheap, when you were guilty of uniting the Seventeen Families, Kuai Yue, and Huang Zu to deal with me, did you think of the day you would fail?" I tell you, if a person commits a crime, he will be reaped by heaven, and if he does not receive it, I will collect it! Today I'm going to let you see what happened to you! ”

The Fan family was originally just an intermediate family, and all the families added up to less than a thousand, and most of them were disguised as homeless people to mix into Yiyang New Town, but they were found out and most of them were killed.

The Wei army captured Fanjiawu Fort with a single charge.

After a short time, all the immediate family members of the Fan family were arrested and knelt in front of Wei Yan.

Wei Yan originally wanted to say that according to the previous rules, "men are castrated, and women are sent to the red powder camp", but suddenly found that there were two stunning beauties among the daughters of the Fan family, and their appearance was not under Zou Ying at all, and one of them looked very similar to the national goddess Fan Bingbing in later generations!
