Seeing Meng Cheng's head fall to the ground with a trace of shock, all the officials were terrified in their hearts and knelt on the ground one after another.

"Are you guilty?"

Li Yuan looked at the defendant's officials, Zhong Liyi stood under the stone platform, the snow silver spear head was still dripping with blood, and the three thousand cavalry looked at them indifferently, these officials were all frightened, did not dare to resist, bowed their heads and cried and shouted:

"The minister is guilty!"

"Hold them down, and let them fall later."

With a wave of Li Yuan's hand, the cavalry sent a small team to suppress these officials.

"Thank you, His Royal Highness King Chu!"

Seeing the officials who brutalized the people one by one, the people cheered.

Then Li Yuan looked at the remaining half of the officials, and said calmly:

"Therefore, as long as you keep to yourselves, cooperate with the king to govern the people, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, the king will ensure that you will be fine!"

These innocent officials suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly:

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is benevolent and righteous, and Weichen swears allegiance to His Highness!"

"Good! Tomorrow morning, all the officials in the Lingyuan capital must report in front of this king! ”

Li Yuan's sharp gaze swept towards the people in the crowd with gorgeous clothes and different temperaments, and said coldly:

"The people of the various forces in the capital are also listening, and they must come tomorrow to report the situation of their forces!"

Facing Li Yuan's cold gaze, many people lowered their heads one after another.

Finally, Li Yuan pointed at Zhong Liyi and said loudly: "From now on, this General Zhong Liyi is the commander of Lingyuan Mansion. ”

"Follow Your Highness's orders!"

The officials under him all obeyed.

When Li Yuan officially appointed Zhong Liyi as the commander of Lingyuan's capital, everything was settled.

…………

When Lingyuan Capital City and Tongyuan County City were taken by Li Yuan, the news came out quickly.

Especially when the other two major families in Lingyuan Mansion, the Song family and the Zhang family, received this news, they couldn't believe it at first!

A few days ago, the three major forces also united with the forces of Lingyuan Mansion to resist the King of Chu with confidence and confidence, and the strong men of the Tianwu Realm sent by the three major forces were destroyed overnight, and the King of Chu suddenly appeared in the capital of Lingyuan Mansion, and the Tongyuan County City, which was originally a key front to resist, was also taken by Yuwen Chengdu and Jia Xu under the command of King Chu?

But after repeated confirmations, I finally believed this fact!

Damn, it's gone in a day, the three major forces are really a waste!

When the two heads of the family learned the news, they immediately scolded:

"Rubbish! It's all fucking shit! ”

They roar and fear at the same time.

They were dragged into the water by the three major forces, and the combined forces were led by a few of them at first.

"Run, leave Lingyuan Mansion immediately!"

They came up with the idea in their minds at the same time.

And the forces of the other coalitions are also as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and they have sent messages to the forces that were united before, wanting to know what the forces are thinking now!

No matter how panicked they were, Li Yuan didn't have the heart to care about them now, so he let his people enter Lingyuan Mansion before he planned it.

In Lingyang Mansion, when Zhou Xuan, Fang Shiyuan and a group of other Junjie learned from Xun Yu that the King of Chu was now in Lingyuan Mansion, and that the Meng family and the strong people reinforced by the three major forces had been resolved, and they were being arranged to take up their posts, everyone was shocked.

Obviously, he was still drinking with the King of Chu cordially last night, and when he got up this morning, His Royal Highness the King of Chu had already arrived at Lingyuan Mansion, and the biggest obstacle was solved by the King of Chu?

No matter how shocked they were in their hearts, their awe of Li Yuan deepened.

And Chen Wei led an army of 100,000 to drive straight in, and all the cities he encountered opened the city gates to welcome Chen Wei's arrival.

Li Yuan sat in Lingyuan Mansion, because of the fall of the Meng family, the various forces in the capital city, especially meek, asked them to do everything very hard, told them to go east, and they rode horses to the east.

Especially those forces that have joined the alliance, one by one, is harder than the other, and they are deeply afraid of being compared to other forces.

According to Zhao Gao's intelligence, Li Yuan already had a careful understanding of the other four counties, and cooperated with Jia Xu to plan and act step by step.

As time passed, a folk song began to spread in the streets and alleys of the other four counties:

"The King of Chu is here!"

"The King of Chu is here!"

"Lingyuan Mansion will be too peaceful!"

"The King of Chu said that he only came to Lingyuan Mansion to do three things!"

"First things first: fairness!"

"Second thing: fairness!"

"The third thing is that it's so fair!"

…………

Five days later, Jia Xu had already come to Lingyuan Capital.

The courtyard of the capital is full of flowers, the scenery is pleasant, Zhao Gao is dressed in dark red clothes, waiting quietly under the peach blossom tree, Li Yuan looks at the flowers that have been stained with blood and bloomed more vividly.

In this courtyard, there are still some remnants of the assassination of Li Yuan in the past few days.

Just enough to let Li Yuan test his ability to collect nets.

For this operation, Li Yuan said that he was very satisfied with the net.

On the side, Jia Xu shook the feather fan lightly and smiled lightly.

Li Yuan picked one of the most beautiful flowers and played with it in his hand, and asked casually:

"Wenhe, how is the situation in the four counties now?"

Jia Xu looked comfortable, and glanced at Zhao Gao, who had been quiet under the corner of the tree:

"Your Highness, now that the rumors have spread to the cities of the four counties, it is not us who should be anxious now, but their forces!"

"We can let the rumors fly for a little longer!"

The corners of Zhao Gao's mouth were slightly hooked, and he praised Jia Xu:

"Lord Jia's trick is really clever, first let the rumors settle the hearts of the people in the four counties, which can not only gather the hearts of the people but also suppress the forces of all parties, and then the people's hearts will be wanted, and the forces are already weak-minded, and they don't even need to be solicited by His Highness, they will take refuge in themselves!"

It's not the same as when someone else invites you in.

"How about the Song family and the Zhang family?"

Li Yuan already knew that the Song family and the Zhang family had already fled, and their movements were under the control of the net.

"Your Highness, rest assured, as long as they walk out of the border of Lingyuan Mansion, it will be the time to hunt and kill!"

Zhao Gao's unique and confident tone sounded in Li Yuan's ears.

The property and family treasures sold by the Song family and the Zhang family are really needed by the net!

"That's good!"

Li Yuan smiled slightly, for these forces, he can't kill them all, just solve a few initial forces to deter other forces, and he will even treat and continue to reuse some people.

Some smart forces have already abandoned the united forces and sent a letter to Li Yuan, saying that they want to pay tribute to His Royal Highness the King of Chu very much and wait for His Royal Highness's arrival!

But Li Yuan has not responded, as Chen Wei's army arrived in Lingyuan Capital, the cities of Tongyuan County have also been under Li Yuan's control, and the letters of those forces have become more and more frequent.

Lingyuan Mansion Heyuan County, the county guard's mansion, the average stature, some obese Heyuan county guards walked back and forth anxiously in the courtyard, he had not been able to eat for a few days.

"My lord, the other three county guards have not moved because they don't know what the King of Chu means now."

When the county guard of Heyuan heard the report of his subordinates, the fat on his stomach trembled, and his head kept sweating.

said to the staff next to him: "Do you say that it is too late for this official to take the initiative to join the King of Chu now?"

So many of us have added an alliance to resist the King of Chu, it is impossible for the King of Chu to kill us, as long as we have a better attitude, the King of Chu will let us go. ”

"Otherwise, this official will write a petition to test the attitude of the King of Chu, if the King of Chu still hides the murderous intention, we will escape from Lingyuan Mansion immediately."

The staff was silent, and finally when the Heyuan County Guard was about to get angry, he said seriously: "My lord, my subordinates think that His Royal Highness the King of Chu is now giving His Royal Highness the Lord a chance to reform his ways, after all, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has always been known for his kindness, and he is also the governor of Lingzhou, after he solves the Meng family, it is impossible to kill us again, after all, he will have to subdue other provinces in the future, and other provinces will definitely appear in our current situation, if His Royal Highness the King of Chu wants to easily recruit them, it is very likely that he will be lenient with us." ”

The small eyes of the Heyuan County Guard lit up: "You mean, if this official takes the initiative to surrender now, the King of Chu will be lenient on us." ”

Without waiting for this staff member to speak, the county guard of Heyuan gradually raised his chest and said to himself:

"Although the forces of Lingyuan Mansion were united by the Meng Governor's Mansion and the three major forces before, it is obvious that the Meng Governor's Mansion and the three major forces forced us, His Royal Highness the King of Chu can definitely see it, and I believe that His Royal Highness the King of Chu will not solve this official just because of such a matter!"

Thinking of this, the county guard of Heyuan became more and more confident, and raised his head with his chest straight.

As the head keeper of Heyuan County, he was originally going to obey the command of the prefect, but he was confused for a while and was bewitched by the prefect of Meng.

Now that I have woken up in time, I was originally loyal to the imperial court, and I am naturally loyal to His Royal Highness the King of Chu!

That's right! His Royal Highness the King of Chu is now the governor of Guiling Prefecture, and the county guard was originally His Royal Highness the King of Chu, but he just made a small mistake for a while.

Heyuan Junshou's inner thoughts became more and more firm, and then he went directly back to the study and wrote the letter himself.

explained the ins and outs of everything clearly, said that he obeyed the orders of the king of Chu, implored the king of Chu to come, realized his mistake, and took the initiative to ask the king of Chu to demote his position.

When the letter from the county guard of Heyuan spread, the other three county guards soon learned of his decision, and they also wrote petitions one after another, imploring His Royal Highness the King of Chu to preside over the overall situation in this county and voluntarily demote him.

…………

In the study, when Li Yuan received the letter from the four county guards, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he finally waited.

"Zhao Gao, how is the investigation of the officials and forces in Heyuan County?"

"I would like to inform Your Highness, it has been investigated clearly, there are three city lords who kill innocents indiscriminately and are full of evil, there are thirty-two officials, and there are two families in total."

Zhao Gao's figure suddenly appeared like a phantom.

"Good."

The fierce murderous intent in Li Yuan's eyes flashed away, and he turned to look at Jia Xu next to him: "Wenhe, next Lingyuan Capital City will be presided over by you and Zhong Liyi, this king will take Chengdu, Zhou Xuan, and Fang Shiyuan to inspect the counties, starting with Heyuan County!" ”

Jia Xu nodded slightly, although the methods of beating a batch, suppressing a batch, and killing a batch are old-fashioned, they are very useful.

Soon, Yuwen Chengdu led 5,000 cavalry to support Li Yuan to Heyuan County, and also brought more than a dozen heroes such as Zhou Xuan and Fang Shiyuan, as well as officials trained in Xunyu in Lingyang Mansion, and some important positions in each county will be held by them.

Lingrong Mansion adjacent to Lingyuan Mansion, Liangcheng of Huirong County.

Wu Tianyang and Wu Dishuang had already returned, and they came back with Li Yuan's appointment of Chu Qingyan as the county guard of Huirong County.

The high-level Chu Qingyan forces in the City Lord's Mansion are all here, and Chu Qingyan, who is becoming more and more aggressive on the main throne, is dressed in white, with long hair fluttering, a slight frown on his beautiful face, and his ruddy lips reveal white jade teeth:

"We all underestimated the King of Chu."

"The King of Chu can deal with the people sent by the three major forces overnight, and the strong men under his command and the intelligence organization in his hands are not simple."

"How many Heavenly Martial Realm powerhouses are there under the command of King Chu?"

Everyone looked at Wu Tianyang and the two, after all, Wu Tianyang had fought with them.

Wu Tianyang frowned and said:

"At that time, we were assigned two ways by the King of Chu, all the way to Lingyuan Capital City, where there were three hidden Tianwu Realms, and it was not clear how many people the King of Chu sent, anyway, the hidden Tianwu Realms were all solved.

And Li Wenhao is in the late stage of the Tianwu Realm, and Li Shenyuan is in the middle stage of the Tianwu Realm. ”

Zhou Qiuya said with a heavy face: "That is to say, there are at least five Tianwu Realm powerhouses under the command of King Chu, and the realm is not low. ”

"The King of Chu is getting stronger and stronger, and his power is getting bigger and bigger." He Wenchang said in a deep voice.

Everyone knows that Li Yuan has solved the Meng family and the people of the three major forces, and it is also a matter of time before he controls Lingyuan Mansion.

Everyone looked solemn and sighed, they hoped that Li Yuan would be stronger and share some of the pressure for them, but they didn't want Li Yuan to be too strong.

Just like this, they are about to take control of the land of the two provinces, and they are still fighting for the life and death of the land of one county.

Chu Qingyan looked at everyone's heavy expressions, and faintly regretted it in his heart, he really didn't expect to choose this ordinary fifth prince, who would be so forbearing, and his methods were so decisive, and he was so strong in recruiting talents.

During this time, Xun Yu's talent in governing Lingyang Mansion had been shown, and everyone knew that Li Yuan had recruited a great talent.

There is also Yuwen Chengdu, who rushed to the city gate with the strength of one person, and at the beginning of the three grandmasters, he easily won the Tongyuan County City, and opened the gate of the Tongyuan County in the first battle.

And Zhong Liyi, who didn't know where Li Yuan recruited him, showed weakness to the enemy, deliberately lured Yuan Commander out of the city, and broke 8,000 cavalry with 5,000 cavalry, and even solved Yuan's Command in the battle, which made the generals and officials in the capital frightened.

Li Yuan was able to control the situation so quickly, and these two generals contributed a lot.

But as long as the Tongyuan county city could block Yuwen Chengdu, Yuan commanded the envoys and did not go out of the city, and they resisted Li Yuan's attack.

The Lingyuan Mansion Alliance will play a role, and a steady stream of troops will be sent to come, and the three major forces will also take advantage of this time to react and immediately send strong people to take revenge.

And unlike now, the alliance was scattered in an instant, and the various forces rushed to surrender.

The three major forces now dare not send strong people to Lingyuan Mansion again, what if they fall into Li Yuan's trap again.

Hurry, too fast!

No one thought that King Chu would be so decisive and bold!

When he returned to Lingyang Mansion to hold a celebration banquet, he attacked and killed the powerhouse of the Tianwu Realm that night, and even entered the capital city alone.

Chu Qingyan quickly calmed down his inner mood, suddenly smiled slightly, raised Li Yuan's order in his hand, and dispersed everyone's dull atmosphere:

"Now that the King of Chu is powerful, it won't be us who is most anxious, let's think about how to take Huirong County and Lingrong Mansion."

When everyone heard Chu Qingyan's words, their eyes lit up, and then they slowly cheered up.

That's right! It is the three major forces that should be anxious, not us, and we can even take this opportunity to develop rapidly!

The King of Chu will calm down for a while and take control of Lingyuan Mansion.

And the three major forces feel the threat of the King of Chu, and they are likely to lay out the surroundings of Lingyuan Mansion.

The King of Chu will definitely cooperate with Chu Qingyan and join forces to break the blockade of the three major forces.

"Second Miss, now that you have been appointed by the King of Chu to guard Huirong, we can follow the ideas of the former King of Chu......"

Liang Wenyu's eyes flickered, he already had all kinds of plans in his heart, he had been repeatedly studying Li Yuan's methods, and found that if he copied according to Li Yuan's methods, he would control Huirong County the fastest.
