King Wu thought that by defending the city, he would have a bargaining chip to negotiate with Ye Yunyang, and even if he could not escape in the end, he could also seek peace for his family.

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as Liu Feng shouted, someone opened the city gate, and 20,000 Han troops were entering the city, and the so-called chips disappeared.

Liu Feng's men walked through the city gate hole and went straight to the city gate building, shouting loudly for the Wu soldiers to put down their weapons, and if they did not obey the order, they would be treated as stubborn resistance.

Jingling...... When the ......

The soldiers obediently laid down their weapons, and the city walls were quickly taken over by the Han army.

In addition to the horror on the prime minister's face, the most regret was regret, he felt that in order to avenge his personal vendetta, he should not give King Wu a plan to blame Xiao Tingliang. It's just that he can't figure out what happened to Wu Jingye's martial artist level in the Tongyuan Realm, who couldn't deal with Ye Yunyang's master and servant?

In any case, the bitter fruit in front of him was planted by himself, and he said in a tone of regret: "Your Highness, you were misled by the old minister, so you have the tragic result now, and the minister is dead." ”

King Wu glanced at him, sneered and said: "What's the use of saying these things now, the idea is yours, but it was implemented with the consent of the widow, you are at most an accomplice, and this king is the culprit! ”

Taiwei felt wronged, the idea was made by the prime minister, the assassination was made by King Wu, and even the blame for Xiao Tingliang was personally sent by the prime minister, although it was not successful in the end. In the whole thing, he is just a dispensable character, but now he wants to eat melons with him, it's too unlucky!

Click......

The sound of the boots hitting the bottom became closer and closer, and the three of them turned around and saw that Ye Yunyang, surrounded by Liu Feng and other generals, had already ascended to the top of the city.

Ye Yunyang said in a mocking tone: "King Wu, when we met yesterday, you were polite to me, but I didn't expect to send someone to kill me in a blink of an eye, and the hidden knife in your smile was brought into full play, which was really an eye-opener." ”

King Wu snorted and said: "The winner is the king, and the loser is the villain, and now the king has nothing to say. ”

Liu Feng scolded: "The surname is Xiao, you have refused to admit your guilt until now, what qualifications do you have to be called a lonely widow." Come on, arrest a group of criminals, General Li obeys orders!"

A middle-aged man in black armor clasped his fists and said, "The last general." ”

"Order you to lead 10,000 elites to take over the palace of King Wu and control all the princesses, princes and ministers. Liu Feng ordered.

"The last general commands!"

"General Chen, I order you to lead a thousand men to take down all the royal family members, ministers and their families scattered in the city, and those who dare to resist will be killed on the spot. ”

"Yes!"

As Liu Feng gave orders, King Wu, Prime Minister and Taiwei here became prisoners.

Ye Yunyang looked the three of them up and down, and sighed: "This is what you asked for, to be honest, I never thought of targeting Wu Guo, yesterday I tied Xiao Tingliang and others to appear in front of the palace gate, it was nothing more than angry at the treatment suffered in Beiyi, just to save face for yourself." I didn't expect that King Wu was so uncontrollable, I might as well tell you the truth, according to the plan of the emperor and the crown prince, Wu was listed as the fourth batch of targets, which means that you will not be touched within ten years. It's a pity, you took the initiative to jump out and send the handle to the emperor, and you felt embarrassed if he couldn't kill it. ”

King Wu's face turned pale, and he scolded: "The boy surnamed Ye, you don't need to pretend here, this king will take the initiative to jump out, anyway, sooner or later he will be annexed by the empire! ”

Ye Yunyang shook his head and said, "Stubborn, unrepentant." Take them down and wait for His Majesty's will. ”

Long Xiangwei soon took over the entire royal city, and the royal family members and officials were all imprisoned, and the people in the city panicked.

The matter of Wu ** drawing and ordering the killing of Ye Yunyang also spread among the common people, and everyone felt that King Wu's head was kicked by a donkey, and he actually made such an unwise move on the cusp of cutting the domain, which was clearly the rhythm of looking for death.

In the afternoon of the same day, two medium-sized flying wings landed in the palace, headed by the new Imperial Historian, bringing the emperor's will.

As Wang Bingjian's successor, the new Yushi Zhongcheng knew very well what happened to Wang Bingjian, so he was very respectful to Ye Yunyang.

You must know that when Ye Yunyang overthrew Wang Bingjian, he was just a small county duke, and now he is the sixth county duke in the tenth-level title, and he is deeply appreciated by the emperor and the crown prince.

"Nanshan County Prince, before the official left the imperial capital, the crown prince had a special explanation, saying that as long as you do the task well, Your Majesty will make decisions for you in everything else. Yu Shi Zhongcheng said in a respectful tone.

"Thank you, sir. Ye Yunyang symbolically said politely.

At this time, King Wu, Wu Jingye and others were escorted over, these former important figures of a country are all in high spirits now, and there is still a little bit of past vigor and arrogance.

"Kneel!" Liu Feng shouted, and the soldier in charge of the escort raised his foot and kicked at the crook of their leg, and the sound of popping came and went.

Yu Shi Zhongcheng glanced at them, took the holy decree handed over by his entourage, and said loudly: "Holy oracle!"

"Wait for the order!" everyone knelt down.

In the imperial history, Cheng unfolded the holy decree and read: "Holy edict, there is a matter of the king of Wu sending people to assassinate the officials of the imperial court, the situation is extremely bad, and such a wolf with ambition is not worthy of being in charge of a country, and he will be given the punishment of beheading." Taishi Wu Jingye, Prime Minister, Taiwei and other accomplices are unforgivable, and they are given the punishment of beheading. King Wu lost his virtue, and his descendants were not worthy of a country, so he named his cousin King Wu, his cousin King Cheng, and his nephew King Li......"

The emperor sealed more than 100 kings in one go, and each of them had a corresponding fief, the largest area was the new King Wu, who led a county, and everyone else was a county.

The huge state of Wu was divided into several small kingdoms by a holy decree, and by the time of the next generation of these so-called kings, each vassal state would be the size of only one township, and it would be inferior to the larger landlords.

Among these guys who were divided, there were many people with superb intelligence, who knew what the emperor's action meant, and expressed their willingness to dedicate their fiefs to the Han Dynasty and incorporate them into the empire's territory.

After praising them for their general knowledge, he announced that anyone who was willing to give up his fief would change the prince to a county duke or a county marquis, and he could enjoy the annual agricultural income of the fief, but he had no right to meddle in government affairs and military affairs, and the emperor would ensure that they had no worries about food and clothing in this life.

As for those who don't want to give up their fiefs, it won't be long before there will be a number of more kings in the fiefdoms until they are all divided, unless you don't have children.

But even if you don't have children, when you die, the fief will be nationalized.

King Wu and others were escorted to the palace gate and beheaded in front of thousands of ordinary people.

After the incident, the clothes are gone, and the merit and fame are hidden.

At the moment when King Wu's head landed, Ye Yunyang's carriage drove out of the east gate and headed in the direction of the sea.

Although the emperor did not urge him to leave quickly, he did not reward him for taking care of the state of Wu, which shows that in comparison, building a navy is far more important than cutting down the domain.

Therefore, Ye Yunyang didn't take a vassal state too seriously, but chose to leave immediately.

In the emperor's heart, with the sword of Tui'en Ling, the princes and kings have no room to resist at all, and it is only a matter of time before the vassal states are cut, and in a few years, the major vassal states will be completely prostrate under the strong pressure of the empire.

Conquering the state of Wu is strictly speaking, it can be regarded as a meritorious service, but because of this, Lang took some time, and it can be regarded as a merit and demerit, and the emperor decided to neither commend nor punish.

If Ye Yunyang is stupid enough to ask the emperor for merit and rewards, maybe it won't be for the time being, maybe he can achieve his goal, but he is definitely not far from death.

The carriage gradually accelerated, and Tran waved his whip from time to time to maintain his current speed.

After galloping for two days and one night, there was obviously a fishy smell in the air, Ye Yunyang lifted the curtain and glanced out, and asked, "Xiao Chen, how far is it from the Coast Guard camp?"

Chen Shilai replied: "Qi Yu Gongzi, there are only dozens of miles left, hurry up and hurry, it only takes three hours to arrive, if we are lucky, maybe we can catch dinner." ”

It was sunset, and there were three more hours, but it was eight or nine o'clock in the evening.

He was just about to throw the whip, but Ye Yunyang said, "Find a nearby town to stay, and we will go to the camp early tomorrow morning." ”

"Huh?" Chen Shilai expressed puzzlement, and said, "There is enough time, why do you want to stay for one night?"

Along the way, Ye Yunyang asked him many times to speed up, eager to fly into the coast guard in minutes, seeing that he was about to reach his destination, why was he suddenly not in a hurry?

Ye Yunyang smiled faintly: "There is no difference between arriving tonight and tomorrow morning, in terms of time, but there is a difference in the combat effectiveness of the coast guard." ”

Chen Shilai was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that his vision was not good at night, and it was not easy to see from the layout of the garrison battalion what the military quality of the chief general of this army was.

Second, the general camp will have morning exercises in the early morning, which can show the quality of the soldiers.

In addition, by choosing a place to live dozens of miles away from the camp, we can get a deeper understanding of this unit from the mouths of the local people and see what kind of status they hold in the hearts of the people.

After figuring these things out, Chen Shilai pointed to the side and said, "There is a small town there, the name on the map is Wanghai Town, let's live in Wanghai Town." ”

Ye Yunyang nodded, Chen Shilai's memory is very good, not only Wanghai Town, but also the names of those towns along the way.

Half an hour later, the carriage drove into Wanghai Town.

The town was not prosperous, maritime trade was not developed in this era, and the coastal towns were far less than inland.

As soon as Chen Shilai saw an inn in front of him, and as soon as he walked to the door, an arrogant voice came from inside: "If it weren't for the military masters fighting pirates all day long to ensure the peace of the party, you would be able to do business here with peace of mind?

"Master Jun, if you just drink a few pots of wine, of course the little ones don't dare to ask you for money, but what about the dishes you ordered, I am a small business here, you can't help but give money." ”

"You still dare to ask for money, believe it or not, the military master smashed you here?"

Ye Yunyang's face changed, and he instructed Chen Shilai: "Don't rush to the inn, let's have a meal here now." ”

"Yes!" Chen Shilai jumped out of the carriage, knowing that there would definitely be a good show to watch next.
