After the victory of the Battle of Jicheng, Wei Shuo focused on sorting out the internal affairs of Youzhou, especially those wealthy families who held the real power in Youzhou.

Fortunately, the Battle of Jicheng established his prestige in Youzhou, so that some families had to change their original attitudes.

"Lord, the battle of Zhengchang Jicheng was really beautiful, not only destroying 50,000 Xianbei cavalry, but also completely deterring some unscrupulous people in Jicheng. Yesterday, a few more heads of the family ran to their subordinates' mansions to express their deference and dedication to the lord. ”

Liu Han can now be said to be proud, the battle of Jicheng proved that the choice he made before was correct, and it also made the other family heads in Jicheng full of all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred for him, some families who stood on the wrong side did not dare to intercede with Wei Shuo in person, so they had to go to Liu Mansion to ask Liu Han to come forward to make peace.

"Humph! Typical toast without eating and eating penalty wine! If you knew this was the case, why did you bother in the first place?! Lu Chang said with a disdainful face.

Wei Shuo chuckled a few times and said, "Hehe, the family, aren't they all donkeys?" Holding on and not leaving, fighting backwards. How can they give in to us if they don't suffer a few more losses? But, Mr. Takeko, you didn't promise them anything, did you? ”

"How dare you be lowly? Without the permission of the lord, his subordinates would never dare to promise anything to outsiders. Besides, they didn't say anything, but just asked me to apologize to the lord, and they were willing to provide some food, grass and military pay for my Liaodong army. I just hope that the lord will not be guilty of the mistakes they have made in the past! ”

"Blame for the past? It's not that you can't, it's just ......"

Wei Shuo deliberately paused when he said this, but it made Liu Han's heart feel like he was scratched by a cat. Seeing his restless appearance, Wei Shuo also gave up his plan to continue to tease Liu Han, and said directly: "As long as they promise me a few conditions, I can ignore their previous crimes." ”

"Oh? What conditions? Justice, the Lord. ”

It seems that Liu Han has gained a lot of benefits from the family, otherwise he would not have gone to great lengths to make peace with which families. But Wei Shuo didn't mind that. As long as the family agrees to his conditions, he doesn't necessarily have to cut off people's heads. Killing is the last resort that has to be used, especially killing one's own people.

"Mr. Wuzi, don't be too happy, my conditions are not simple. The reason why the big families in Jicheng dare to do it with Wei Mou is that they rely on someone in their hands to have food and money? My first condition is to let the Jicheng family accept the slave release order, so that all the poor people who have become tenants and tribes of the family can regain their freedom. ”

looked at Liu Han's gradually ugly face. Wei Shuo was unmoved and continued: "This second condition is even more not simple, Lord Liu should have heard of the Juntian system I implemented in Liaodong, and then I plan to implement the Juntian system in Yanguo and Shanggu, as long as the Jicheng family clearly supports the Juntian system, you can consider letting them go." ”

Before Wei Shuo could say the third and fourth conditions, Liu Han was already sweating profusely. The Jicheng family really agreed to Wei Shuo's conditions, what is the difference between being raided and exterminated?

"Lord...... Lord, this ...... That seems ...... Genus...... Are your subordinates afraid that those families will not agree? ”

"Don't say yes? It's better if I don't agree, I originally wanted to leave half of the family wealth for them. Now it seems a bit redundant. ”

"Lord, aren't you worried that the family will jump off the wall in a hurry?" Liu Han smiled bitterly and continued: "Lord, maybe you don't know the strength of the local family, if the Jicheng family fully boycotts Liaodong, I'm afraid that in less than one day, at least more than ninety percent of the officials in Jicheng will resign and strike, and the government affairs of the entire Youzhou will be paralyzed." ”

"Yes, my lord. Mr. Liu's concerns deserve our attention. Since the establishment of the nine-grade Zhongzheng system of the election system, the officialdom of the Great Jin Dynasty is: the top grade has no cold people. Inferior no warriors! From top to bottom, the family controls the political, military, economic, cultural, educational and other aspects of the empire, and its strength is far beyond the imagination of the lord. ”

"We used to be in Liaodong, and we didn't know enough about the family. As a result, after entering Jicheng, we lacked enough experience to deal with the problems of the family. Unless there are enough reserve talents in the hands of the lord, it is better not to press the family too hard. Otherwise, it is very likely that our decree will not be able to leave Jicheng. ”

Han Shou's words shocked Wei Shuo. He already overestimated the strength of the family, but he didn't expect that in the end it was just the tip of the iceberg of the family.

"In the future, if the universal education that the lord has been advocating is a great success and dominates public opinion, then you can clean up the family as much as you want. But if you move a few families in Jicheng today, tomorrow the reputation of the tyranny of the lord will spread all over the world. ”

"My lord. Do you really want to have a tyrannical reputation on your head? Not to mention how much this affects your image, just in the future, our army will encounter some unnecessary troubles. ”

Liu Han saw that Wei Shuo was a little moved, so he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and persuaded him: "Yes, yes, lord, Lord Han is right, it is better to deal with the family slowly. Wait a few more days and let your subordinates talk to them again. ”

Under the repeated persuasion of Han Shou and Liu Han, Wei Shuo finally relented. He pondered again and again and said, "Okay, today I will give the two of you a face and reduce the conditions to two." Money and forced separation can be put aside for the time being, but the Juntian Decree and the Slave Release Decree are the two basic policies of our Liaodong and the foundation of our cause, and they must be completely and thoroughly implemented in Youzhou. ”

"This ...... All right! Seeing Wei Shuo's firm face, Liu Han had no choice but to agree with a bitter face.

……

Just when Wei Shuo was busy fighting with the family in Jicheng, the internal contradictions of the Duan clan in Liaoxi finally broke out. No one thought that as soon as the predecessor Da Dan Yu Duan Ji Lu died and the Duan clan fought for the position of Da Dan Yu, a large-scale civil strife broke out within the Duan family. And the culprits who set off this rebellion were Duan Mobo and Duan Piyan.

At the beginning, Duan Mobo was invited back to Yangle by his uncle Duan Shefuchen, originally intended to deal with Duan Piyan of Beiping County, but he didn't expect Duan Mobo to have a bad heart, and took advantage of the funeral to kill a large number of leaders and elders loyal to Duan Jilu's relatives such as his uncle Duan Shefuchen and his nephew Duan Hu in one fell swoop, and established himself as Duan's Dadanyu in Yangle.

Upon learning of Duan Mobo's usurpation, Duan Piyan, who occupied Beiping County, was furious, and immediately raised troops to attack Duan Mobo, and called on all Duan clans to raise troops to resist Duan Mobo. Duan Wenyang, who lived in Haiyang, did not hide that Duan Mobo usurped power, so he raised troops to respond to his brother Duan Piyan.

After Duan Mobo grasped the power of Yangle, he immediately reorganized his troops and horses to meet the battle. Due to the loss of a large number of elites in the middle of the previous Jicheng War, he was still not Duan Mobo's opponent after uniting Duan Wenyang, and was defeated by Duan Mobo and fled back to Beiping County in embarrassment. And Duan Wenyang didn't even dare to go back to Haiyang's lair, and directly came to Jicheng with five thousand elites.

Duan Wenyang rode on his horse and looked at the dejected entourage beside him, feeling extremely depressed. He could never have imagined that just after his brother died, the Duan clan would split overnight, and Duan Piyan and Duan Mobo were not subordinate to each other and were hostile to each other.

After the civil strife, Duan Wenyang could not bear to watch the Duan clan decline, but he did not want to continue to kill each other with his own people. Then he refused to be retained by his brother Duan Piyan, and prepared to go to Jicheng with 5,000 cavalry directly under him to join Wei Shuo.

Wei Shuo, who was sitting in Jicheng, didn't expect that he would also be smashed by a pie in the sky one day, among the people of the Duan family, only this Duan Wenyang was the most loyal and brave to the Jin family. In history, Duan Piyan and Duan Mobo rebelled successively, only Duan Wenyang did not waver from beginning to end, and later refused Shi Hu's surrender.

Wei Shuo looked at Duan Wenyang, who was standing in the audience, and couldn't help but be full of joy. He felt that Duan Wenyang and Jin Riyan were successful examples of ethnic integration, and the education of the Hu people in the future should be based on Duan Wenyang.

"The criminal minister Duan Wenyang risked his life to vote, please see that he has temporarily spared his life on the merits of the past, and Wenyang is willing to join the army to kill the enemy to atone for his sins."

"Wenyang came to vote, Shuo is overjoyed! Getting a warrior like Wen Yang makes Wei even happier than occupying Jicheng! ”

Saying that, Wei Shuo stood up and stepped forward to help Duan Wenyang, who was kneeling on the ground and showing his breasts, and took off his cloak and covered Duan Wenyang's body. It's been a few days since he came to ancient times, and Wei Shuo's behavior has become more and more like that of an ancient, and he has some common means to win people's hearts from the ancient superiors.
