Li Yao watched all the squires send servants to let their sons come over to replace him, and thought to himself: "With the hostages in their hands, I think these families will not go against themselves!" ”

If it weren't for the fact that Li Yao had too few talents in his hands, Li Yao would never have used this strategy to delay the army, and Li Yao couldn't say anything about managing the county, so he could only use this strong method to control the local family!

It's just that these sons who were sent to replace themselves will definitely not be the eldest son, this is also the room left by Li Yao, the eldest son is going to inherit the family business, so if they are forced to send the eldest son over as a proton, they will definitely encounter great resistance, anyway, Li Yao just wants a hostage, so it doesn't matter if he is the eldest son or not!

It only took an hour, and the protons of the major families were sent to the county office, Li Yao said: "Okay, everyone can start normal business, and your sons will also take over the affairs of the county office, if anyone behaves well, they will have the opportunity to win the positions of county commander, county officer, and county lieutenant!" ”

When the major families heard this, they all became excited, they can be the three positions of county commander, county officer, and county lieutenant, that is really powerful, these three positions are not comparable to the county officials, if they can really be done, the family will definitely develop rapidly!

At this time, the major families regretted that they only sent children with mediocre qualifications, if they could really win the position of the county chief, it would definitely make the family rise!

Li Yao secretly laughed when he saw everyone's expressions, and threw out the position of the chief official of the county order, no one will ever send it to himself again, if he is against himself at this time, it is against the squire of the county!

It's just the position of the county chief. How could Li Yao give it to them, as long as they waited for more than a month. When his own army of 100,000 entered here, there was no need to pretend to be with these people. When the time comes, I will transfer some people from Yi County to rule here! Anyway, there are a lot of talents who defect to themselves, so you can see their skills when the time comes!

Li Yao said to these squires again: "The city gate will not be opened for a few days, but as compensation, I will send a pound of food to each of the people here every day, I hope you will understand!" ”

Now Yiguang County belongs to Li Yao, Li Yao can do whatever he wants, these squires will definitely not object, because it is useless to object, but Li Yao is willing to send food to these people. It's more benevolent and righteous!

After Li Yao let these people disperse, he took four regiments of soldiers to display in Yu County, and now a regiment is responsible for the city guard of Yiguang County, with the support of the major families, I believe that there will be no too chaotic things, so Li Yao also pulled the artillery regiment and the bandit army to the south gate of Yu County the next day.

As soon as it was dawn, Li Yao shouted with a loudspeaker: "I believe you also saw the strength of our army yesterday, if you don't want to be slaughtered, it's best to open the door and surrender." If you surrender, I can guarantee your safety! ”

Li Yao looked at the armor of his soldiers and saw that the armor of his soldiers was indeed a little old, and he saw that the armor of the city guards in Yu County was well maintained, and there were at least two thousand city guards in Yu County. If he could not damage the equipment of the Yuxian City Guard, Li Yao could get at least 2,000 sets of weapons and equipment, plus the equipment of the military depot. At least four regiments can be equipped! This is a big fat meat, Li Yao can't just throw it away!

Li Yao shouted, "I know you don't believe in my strength. Well, I'll give you a few shots. See how long you guys can hold out! ”

Li Yao shouted: "Hit two shots, be careful not to hit the center of the city, it won't be good to hurt those chief officers!" ”

The two artillery regiments were already ready, and two hundred flying thunder canisters could instantly throw four thousand catties of explosives, and they could be wiped out in one wave, but after hearing Li Yao's order, they could only hold back the mood of firing the cannons and let the two flying thunder canisters on both sides be launched!

The commander of the artillery regiment ran to Li Yao's side and said, "Master Hou, it's ready, can you fire?" ”

Li Yao nodded.

The commander of the artillery regiment said: "Fire! ”

Two flying thunder canisters 'bang' and 'bang' projected out two explosive packets, and the landing point was just on the city wall, and two explosions sounded, and the city head shook for a while, where did the local county magistrate see such a firearm, and hurriedly asked the county magistrate of Yiguang County, and said: "Did they also use this weapon to attack you yesterday?" ”

The pale face of the county order is enough to prove everything.

The county commander of Yu County suddenly collapsed to the ground, just two cans have such power, if the two hundred canes under the city burst into flames together, it would definitely be enough to kill everyone!

The county commander felt a burst of fear, the fear came from the unknown firearms under the city, and it also came from the unknown, what he didn't know didn't even know how to defend, the county commander didn't want to die, and he didn't want to die in vain!

And the city guards guarding the city wall were even more frightened when they looked at the soldiers who were injured by the explosion, because they didn't know how to save them, and the damage caused by the explosive bag was definitely not only the damage caused by the projectile splashing, but also from the burns when the gunpowder exploded!

Listening to the wails of the wounded soldiers, the county commander shouted tremblingly: "Surrender, we surrender!" ”

Li Yao said with a smile: "Except for the two artillery regiments left behind, the others will rush with me!" ”

The city gate was opened, and Li Yao's troops quickly occupied the city wall and collected the weapons of the city guards! Li Yao looked at the arrested county commander and the others and said with a smile: "You made a correct decision, otherwise you would have turned into a ball of ashes by now!" ”

The county magistrate didn't seem to have recovered from the scene just now, and looked at Li Yao with a dull face!

Li Yao looked at the expression of the county commander, and knew that it was useless to talk to him now, and then said: "Su Feiguang's department takes over the defense, the second regiment guards the city guards, and the third regiment and the fourth regiment surround the county government with me!" ”

The county order surrendered, and the others in the county government naturally would not resist anymore, Li Yao took over Yu County in a relatively peaceful way, and so far the three northern counties have been controlled by Li Yao!

These officials were all put in prison, and Li Yao asked, "What about the county lieutenant of Yiguang County?" Why didn't you see him! ”

The county magistrate of Yiguang County said: "He fled to the deep mountains and old forests with his family, and we couldn't stand this kind of life, so we didn't go with him!" ”

Li Yao said with a smile: "It turns out that the official who fled to the deep mountains and old forests yesterday is your county lieutenant, but he has a lot of ideas, which is a bit interesting!" ”

By the way, Li Yao said: "I said, since you have already opened the door and surrendered, I will not kill you!" ”

At this time, the officials of the two counties all expressed surprised expressions, but Li Yao said: "I didn't let you go for free, I will help you take over your family property first, and if you have any private property, it's best to tell me, otherwise if I find out, you will be unlucky!" ”

After hearing this, the county officials nodded their heads in agreement, but they all thought in their hearts: "How can we tell you about our private property!" There's no way you'll know anyway! ”

Li Yao said with a smile: "If you tell me your private property, I will give you some money when I expel you from the three northern counties, if you don't tell me, I won't even equip you with a weapon for self-defense, and if you encounter bandits or something, you may really lose your life!" ”

What Li Yao said was very direct, which caused the county officials to think deeply, Li Yao's hand is the real money to buy life!
