Chapter 55: All Surrender
At this time, Zhou Siyuan, the head of the Zhou family, hurriedly stood up and looked at Li Yue with a respectful expression.
"Master Li, don't say it's eighty percent, you just take it all, I have no opinion, our Zhou family will always be loyal to Lord Li."
Zhou Siyuan knelt directly in front of Li Yue, and it seemed that the two of them had discussed it.
But at this moment, as early as a few days ago, Zhou Siyuan already wanted to get rid of Li Yue with the help of several major families.
But I didn't expect Li Yue to be so ruthless, not hesitating to sacrifice his own life, but also to pull several big families into the water.
At this moment, Zhou Siyuan has recognized the facts, Li Yue is definitely a ruthless person.
Instead of struggling, it is better to obey directly, and only in this way can the family be saved.
"Oh, Brother Zhou is really a reasonable person, knowing that now is the time when the country is in danger, he can set such an example, and he is also a model for my generation!"
Li Yue hurriedly began to praise Zhou Siyuan.
The rest of the people were also annoyed when they saw this, feeling that this was the rhythm that made people unable to live.
However, Liu Changming's younger brother Liu Changliang walked out respectfully.
"Master Li, my brother is lustful and stubborn, Li Min is in fire and water, this is a sinner, our Liu family has no such descendants."
Liu Changliang said with an indignant face.
"If you say so, I can't even refute it, then what do you Liu family mean now?"
Li Yue asked with a smile.
"From now on, the Liu family in Huangzhou Mansion will take the lead of Lord Li, and all the property of the Liu family can be donated for Lord Li to fight the plague."
Liu Changliang knelt on the ground, looking less like Li Yue was the horse's head, more like he was directly becoming someone's domestic slave.
As soon as they saw such a scene, so did the remaining two families, as well as the well-known local gentry and wealthy families, all of whom donated their family property.
This time, Li Yue was particularly happy.
Seeing that everyone has surrendered to themselves, although it is a superficial surrender, it is more like a decision made only when they are threatened.
But facts are always facts, and those who are surrounded outside have also given up resistance.
Because there are also many people arranged by Li Yue around them, each of them is like an outlaw, and his body is full of earth-shaking bamboo.
Although most of them are fake, the people of the five major families do not know about it.
Under a series of operations, all the high-level leaders of the five major families were invited by Li Yue to the yamen of the state capital.
At this time, Zhou An also brought good news at the same time.
With Qi Tong's cooperation, it took less than 3,000 people to capture all the soldiers and warriors arranged outside by the five major families in advance.
That night, the commendation of the imperial court also came to Huangzhou Mansion.
Li Yue was directly given the title of official knight, and was named the Duke of Auxiliary State, and the official residence was four grades.
Li Yue, who received the reward, was not very happy, but with Zhou Anqi, he lit the lamp in the house and checked the map.
"The current form is very urgent, Zhang Xianzhong in the west, he has 100,000 troops eyeing him, and Huainan Mansion in the east."
Li Yue said with a sigh.
"Young master, do you mean that we have to make a choice, one is to defend Huangzhou Mansion, and the other is to take Huainan Mansion back, right?"
Zhou An said calmly.
Hearing this, Li Yue didn't answer, just nodded, and looked at Qi Tong on the side again.
"Young master, I think we should defend Huangzhou Mansion first, after all, this is our foundation, if Zhang Xianzhong really comes to attack, it will be troublesome."
Qi Tong said worriedly.
Hearing the words of the two, Li Yue pondered for a moment and walked around the house, always looking at the location of Huainan Mansion, especially Huai'an City.
"If more than 20,000 people are transferred, can Huai'an City be quickly recaptured?"
Li Yue asked indifferently.
"Young master, if more than 20,000 people attack in a short period of time, I'm afraid it won't work, after all, Li Zhongshan has been operating in Huai'an City for many years and is deeply rooted."
While Zhou An was talking with a worried face, he looked at Qi Tong on the side.
"Yes! It's been two months, and it's too late if you don't go back, but it would be good if Zhang Xianzhong was dragged in Shaanzhou Mansion for three or two months. ”
Li Yue said meaningfully.
Zhou An, who heard these words, raised his head and saw Li Yue looking at him, and immediately understood something.
"Young master, if there is anything you ask, I will do it, and I will definitely do it well."
Zhou An was half-kneeling on the ground, looking like he was waiting to listen to orders.
"Zhang Xianzhong, he will definitely make a move against Wuchang, if Wuchang is lost, then Huangzhou Mansion is close in front of him."
Li Yue looked at Zhou An, who was half-kneeling in front of him, and said indifferently.
"Young master, do you mean to let your subordinates take people to Wuchang Mansion and fight against Zhang Xianzhong there?"
Zhou An said with a calm face.
"Yes, it's a fight, but it's not a frontal fight, it's to engage in his rear, so that his backyard will catch fire, and he won't have time to take care of the Huangzhou Mansion."
Li Yue's eyes were like torches, as if he was already holding the ticket to victory, while Zhou An and Qi Tong were both at a loss.
In their opinion, with their current ability, even if they move to directly deal with Zhang Xianzhong's rear, it will be in vain.
"I know, my subordinates will swear to complete the young master's orders."
Zhou An's face was flat, but his heart was ready to die, and when he just wanted to stand up, Li Yue went to help him up first.
"Zhou An, you are the person I fancy, Yue'er and you are also in love, if you succeed in coming back this time, I will officiate the wedding for the two of you."
Li Yue smiled indifferently, and after calming Zhou An, he looked at Qi Tong on the side.
"Young master, I'll go with Zhou An too!"
Qi Tongbei could see that Li Yue wanted to let himself recommend himself, and immediately knelt down.
"I do need the cooperation of the two of you, but this time I will personally guide you so that you can get used to it first."
Li Yue smiled in confusion, and then began to explain the tactics of guerrilla warfare with Zhou Anqi.
The conversation between the three of them did not end until dawn, but after coming out, Zhou An seemed extremely excited.
It seems that the tactics explained by Li Yue are like discovering a new world, full of magic and surprises.
Qi Tong has a deep face, as if he has something on his mind, but deep down he is also shocking.
"Brother Zhou, we are the oldest among you, and we also take you as the leader, this time our cooperation, I believe it will be successful."
Qi Tong said excitedly.
"Yes! This time it will indeed be successful, but it is the first time that we have used the method of the young master to harass the rear, and there are some things that we still don't understand! ”
Zhou An went from excitement to worry, and the whole person seemed to have two relative mood swings at the same time.
"The young master also said, with you as the main and me as the auxiliary, this time I will listen to your orders, Brother Zhou."
Qi Tong saw Zhou An's expression like this, and his face also showed a look of worry.
