Regarding the departure and stay of hundreds of officials in the imperial court, Su You did have some headaches.

If he can gain the favor and support of these court officials in front of him, the regime he wants to establish may soon be stabilized, and the road to fighting for the world will be much easier.

Because behind these people, there are many powerful families that have lasted for a hundred years, and with their joining, they will get a lot of help; On the contrary, this kind of help will become a resistance, which will hinder Su You from unifying this troubled world.

The problem is that Su You set the great cause of founding the country in Nanzhong as early as two years ago, and the country he wants to establish is not supported by the big family; On the contrary, he not only wants to fight the local tyrants and divide the land, but also eliminate the gate lords of the gate giants, so that the "country" is above the "family".

In the future countries, only the state can have a family, and no large family is allowed.

If there are many court officials from big clans mixed in their ranks, will they be able to implement their established national policies? The answer is obvious.

It was a good thing for Su You to be able to obtain the effectiveness of these old Sui officials, but if these people sabotaged their great cause of founding the country in order to protect their families, it would be a good thing to turn into a bad thing.

Besides, if these people submit to Su You, can they start from the most basic positions? Or did they rely on their previous fame and position to parachute directly into Su You's newly established country? This is not Su You's way of employing people, it is obviously impossible for them to want to be Su You's official without matching the merits of it.

Of course, Su You's worries were obviously unnecessary, and after he finished speaking, no one made it clear that he would stay, but many people had the audacity to say that they wanted to leave.

Su You didn't want to waste too much time on them, so he only coldly left a sentence of "You have two days to think about it, because I will leave Liaocheng soon", and then left the back garden, but let Wen Daya come to entertain them.

After Wen Daya arrived, he first showed that he was Li Yuan's secretary and joined the army, which made the old ministers of the Sui Dynasty, who were at a loss just now, finally cheered, - Su You was lukewarm to them, but Li Yuan welcomed the civil and military officials of the old Sui Dynasty infinitely.

Wen Daya just said a few words about Li Yuan, and then recruited seven or eight out of ten old Sui officials in the garden.

The rest of the people are willing to go to the Eastern Capital, and some are willing to stay, but the number of these people is in the single digits, and the original official positions are not high.

After Su You returned to his residence, he saw a woman kneeling in front of Yang Suyan, tears rippling in her eyes.

Su You recognized this woman at a glance as Yang Suyan's sister Princess Nanyang, and he still remembered the first time he saw Princess Nanyang, when she was kneeling on the ground and pleading for the captured Yuwen Shi who sold contraband to the Turks.

Of course, Princess Nanyang must be interceding for the people of the Yuwen clan now, this poor woman!

I don't know if Princess Nanyang knew when Yu Wenhua and her brothers wanted to kill Yang Guang, probably now she no longer dares to intercede for Yu Wenhua, right? Can the Yu Scribe still stay?

It seemed that seeing Su You's arrival, Princess Nanyang suddenly gave up crying to her sister, but came to Su You on her prostriety, and said with a handful of snot and tears, "General Su, I know that you are in charge here, can you spare my colt and two children?" ”

Su You frowned, and after a while, he asked, "What did Princess Yuerong say?" ”

Princess Nanyang's face was full of shame, and she didn't know how to answer for a while, but Yang Suyan said, "The slave of the Poyetou family is extremely evil, if it wasn't for the emperor's grandfather who looked away, how could it cause today's disaster?" I don't have any reason to let them go! ”

Hearing Yang Suyan say so ruthlessly, Princess Nanyang had to wipe away her tears and said firmly, "Then I can only take my aunt as a model, take care!" ”

The aunt in the mouth of Princess Nanyang is obviously Yang Guang's sister Princess Lanling, when her husband Liu Shu ambushed Yang Guang in Renshou Palace because he supported Yang Yong's mastership, preventing the latter from ascending the throne as emperor; After Yang Guang came to power, he immediately sent Liu Shu to Lingnan and assassinated him on the way, while Princess Lanling never abandoned her husband and died of martyrdom.

Princess Nanyang has either made a martyrdom or made a final threat, but Yang Suyan was not moved by her.

In fact, when Yu Wenhua and his brothers were in Jiangdu, they did carry Princess Nanyang and his wife behind their backs, and they even tied them up in order to ensure that things went smoothly.

It wasn't until after Yang Guang's death that Yu Wenhua mastered the government that Yu Wenhua released them.

If it weren't for Xiao Biluo's tragic death, if there was no scandal with Yu Wenhua and Xiao Biluo, maybe Yang Suyan would forgive her sister Princess Nanyang for the role of the White Lotus in the whole thing, right?

But now

It's all because of Yu culture. Yu Culture & Must Die! His relatives must also die!

Yang Suyan even forgot to be a Venerable One, and even did not hesitate to talk about his grandfather's mistakes and omissions, the purpose was to harden his heart and hide his heart to reject his sister.

Princess Nanyang couldn't, so she had to stagger away, but Yang Suyan's tears couldn't be stopped, but fortunately, there were Yang Panruo and Lai Yanbei by her side, and they could persuade them a little.

"After the Bohai Sea in the lower reaches of the Yellow River is pacified, you can go to sea and return to Sanshan, the Central Plains is really too chaotic." Su You watched the three girls cry and said slowly.

In fact, on the same day that Su You entered Liaocheng, Li Jing's army had also entered the Bohai Sea border.

On 28 May, Li Jing attacked Qingchi.

Duan Yuzhang, who was born in a wealthy family, bewitched the local people, and called the Hebei army now commanded by Su You the division of tigers and wolves, saying that once the city was broken, they would slaughter the city and kill people until they were soft.

In the two or three months from last winter to the New Year, the people of the Seven Seas Trading Company came to Bohai, and many hungry people left with the ship, and those who stayed behind were people with a heavier local complex.

It's a pity that Li Jing's army still came too suddenly, coupled with the low city wall of Qingchi and the lack of a moat, such a place is not much stronger than Liu Fang's dock fort.

In contrast, the troops under Li Jing's command were all newly issued with new weapons and equipment, such as hand/thunder, an anti-heaven artifact, and a textbook battle like the breakthrough of Liu's Dock Fort.

In the face of Qingchi's scum-like defense, Li Jing only used one hundred and ten hands/mines, and the vanguard then went up to the city wall, and Qingchi was immediately broken.

After entering the city, because there was no military camp to accommodate the 10,000 soldiers commanded by Li Jing, most of these people could only sleep on the streets; They did not slaughter the city as in the propaganda, let alone take a stitch from the masses, and even begged the people in the city for water to drink, they were all polite, like a talent who entered Beijing to take the exam

This is the discipline of the Hebei Army, and this is the discipline of Li Jing!

The eyes of the masses were always bright, and after realizing that Li Jing's army had no hostility towards them, they quickly accepted them as if they were soldiers of the common people who served the people.

And Duan Yuzhang stubbornly resisted Li Jing's liberation, so the fields of their Duan family were confiscated as a matter of course, and all the families were disbanded; As for the Duan family's shops, gold, silver, and other private property, Li Jing did not touch them in accordance with the regulations.

But Li Jing did not move, it did not mean that no one had selfish intentions for their goods, those serfs who had just turned over and the untouchables who had been oppressed by the Duan clan then jumped out to accuse the Duan clan to the new government.

After some investigation, Duan's crimes were then made public, and most of Duan's family property was turned into compensation, while some of the most heinous clansmen were directly sentenced to death.

For internal affairs, Li Jing is not too good at it, but fortunately, in troubled times, he can use heavy codes, and after the killing, the troubled people have become obedient people.

Three days later, Li Jing conquered Yanshan.

The defenders of Yanshan originally decided to defend the city, but some wealthy clans in the city had just heard about Duan Yuzhang's fate, so on the night of Li Jing's arrival, he recruited a large number of people to lead the way before he began to attack the city. Party.

Li Jing's soldiers entered Yanshan without bloodshed, and then Nanpi, Leling, Wudi, and Rao'an, and the army only took six or seven days to enter the city of Yangxin, Bohai County.

After Li Jing's army besieged Yangxin City, the defenders in the city were divided into two factions, some people thought they should hold on, and some people thought they should surrender.

Wang Xiaoshi has more than 5,000 soldiers in his hands, and he is the main faction, but the power of the main battle faction should not be underestimated, and it is represented by the Lu family, the old relatives of the Duan family in Qingchi, who feel that Li Jing's style of fighting local tyrants and dividing land is too mad.

If you surrender, all the land will be spit out, and it will be difficult to turn over without land!

Moreover, Yangxin City is high and wide, and if you recruit soldiers in the city, there is no pressure to recruit 10,000 people; 10,000 against 10,000 people, they have the high city walls to rely on, and the food in the city can support a year and a half.

Such a powerful force, surrendering to such a weak force as Li Jing, is it very shameless?

The family focuses on vested interests, but what Wang Xiaoshi wants is a future; Because of this disagreement, the people loyal to Wang Xiaoshi and the Lu family's private soldiers finally fought.

There was a problem with the inside of the fortress, and Li Jing's attack became the last straw on the camel's back.

Wang Xiaoshi sent someone to send a letter of surrender to Li Jing, and ordered someone to open the city gate, and Li Jing entered the city naturally, so it only took more than ten days to occupy the entire territory of the Bohai Sea.

After spending a few more days suppressing the gate lords and wealthy clans who might rise up to resist, Li Jing began to lead his army south into the North Sea border.

After resting in Liaocheng for a few days, Su You's main army also began to divide into three armies and came to Qi County, whose current owner was Wang Bo, who was known as the first person in the peasant uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty.
