Wang Yun died in such a scolding and remorse, and with him died Wang Yun's son in Jingzhong, as well as a group of relatives in the clan.

It stands to reason that although Liu Jian acted decisively, he was not a ruthless person who killed without permission.

But this time, because of the treatment of Wang Yun and Yang Biao, as well as the thousands of people in the family who were implicated because of the two of them, Liu Jian did not have the slightest tolerance.

It's not because his heart has become ruthless, on the contrary, Liu Jian is still the same Liu Jian.

It's just that he's in a different position than before.

Although Liu Jian controls the highest power, and there are ordinary Li Shu and middle-level Haoqiang, and the Hanmen clan is sought after, but the top valve reading, as well as the world's wang clan, and the local tyrant right are still full of contradictions with his interests.

These people are just because Liu Jian's power is too strong, so they have the right to surrender, once they can't suppress them one day, or let them seize the handle, these people will definitely not be soft on themselves.

Therefore, when it is time to cut the grass and remove the roots, it is necessary to cut the grass and remove the roots.

There is no so-called benevolent person in the political field, there are only common interests and life and death.

In the capital, after killing these thousands of people, Liu Jian immediately wrote a letter to Guo Jia, who was far away in Bingzhou, asking him to immediately dispose of the Taiyuan Wang family.

Hongnong Yang had already been raided by Liu Jian before coming to Chang'an.

As for the families of the remaining people who were beheaded by Liu Jian, many of them were still in Jizhou, Youzhou, and Xuzhou, as long as they were within his jurisdiction, Liu Jian immediately ordered someone to dispose of them.

In short, don't leave yourself with trouble.

Guo Jia has been dealing with the affairs of the local people's livelihood and the Southern Xiongnu in the state for a period of time, although the foundation of the state is relatively weak, but fortunately Hebei is rich, the experience of Jizhou and Youzhou, as well as the support of goods and grain can be in place in time, which also enables Guo Jia to quickly stabilize the state.

At the same time, with Taiyuan as the center, Guo Jia opened up a large number of copper mines and coal mines in Bingzhou, adding bricks and tiles to the iron ore mining industry in the whole Hebei!

Whether it is planting, or trade, or horse trading, or the recruitment of the Xiongnu population, the state is progressing day by day, of course, in order to carry out cultural invasion of the Xiongnu tribe, and at the same time merge the Xiongnu into the Han nation, Guo Jia has been committed to cultural aggression over the years, and has accumulated a lot of experience.

Moreover, he also deeply remembered Liu Jian's entrustment to him back then, and also adopted a policy of division for the local noble families and medium-sized wealthy forces, and ensured the interests of all parties.

Especially for ordinary Li Shu, the treatment and policies given to them by the Bingzhou government over the years can be said to be the best since the founding of the Han Dynasty, which makes these Bingzhou people full of gratitude to the Hebei government led by Liu Jian.

Although the great cause of merging the state has developed relatively slowly, it has finally entered the right track.

And Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others are also in the experience of Bingzhou, increasing their experience and experience.

It was at this time that Liu Jian's letters to Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and others arrived, and with the order of the imperial court, they were asked to confiscate the Wu Fort of the Taiyuan Wang clan in the land of Bingzhou and confiscate all their property.

After all, the Taiyuan Wang clan is different from ordinary clans, and its heritage in Bingzhou can be said to be extremely profound! Moreover, it intersects with many regional noble families, and the relationship is intricate.

And although the Xiongnu are now superficially obedient, who knows if there are any tribes among these Xiongnu who secretly befriend these noble clans with the intention of overthrowing Liu Jian's rule.

After all, the war launched by Liu Jian against the Xiongnu back then can be said to have wiped out most of the strong armies of the Xiongnu.

Although the tribesmen of the Xiongnu and the Liu government of Bingzhou have been taken care of by them, learning their technology and culture, and gradually stabilizing their lives, for those top nobles of the Xiongnu in Bingzhou, Liu Jian is the one who destroyed their lives.

Ordinary Xiongnu people were still relatively satisfied with the life of the Han Dynasty, but the Xiongnu nobles did not think so.

Because they were deprived of their privileges.

Therefore, Wang Yun is dead now, but the remnants of the Taiyuan Wang clan are likely to collude with the local nobles of the state, and some of the nobles of the Xiongnu to rebel against the Liu government and set off a huge wave in the state.

But in fact, Guo Jia was not afraid of this matter, and he found his two arms, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, to discuss the matter together.

Guo Jia is the top smart person of this era, and now he has been cultivated by Liu Jian, and has completely matured in politics and military, and has determined his lifelong goals.

Compared with the ghost Guo Jia in history, the current Guo Jia tends to be perfect in all aspects such as strategy, politics, and people's livelihood, and it can be said that compared to Guo Jia in history, the current Guo Jia is even more powerful.

If Guo Jia in history was just a top strategist, the current Guo Jia is a top strategist and politician.

Or it can be said that he already has the potential to be the face of a country.

This is not an ordinary quality.

Liu Jian asked Guo Jia to dispose of the Taiyuan Wang family, and Guo Jia immediately thought of taking this opportunity to find out many latent unstable factors in the state, and then eliminate all these unstable factors.

Of course, the premise of doing so will plunge the state into a major war.

But Guo Jia is not afraid, because Dazhi must be in chaos.

If the tumor is not completely cured, but only pursues temporary stability, sooner or later the tumor will accumulate deeper and bigger.

In the end, it will explode again, and the damage caused will be even more immeasurable.

After telling Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong their thoughts, the two fierce generals began to bow their heads and ponder, and they began to think about this matter carefully.

From Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong's point of view, they did not consider the prospect of merging the state, nor the political position of the annexation of the state, after all, both of them were generals, mainly responsible for the war, and the affairs of governance were handled by Guo Jia and Guo Jia's officials.

Now they say that what they want to ponder is that Guo Jia wants to eliminate the tumors of the state, so with the current military strength of the state, can these tumors be cleared?

Don't because the military strength is not enough, but it will cause huge losses to the annexation state itself, then the gains will outweigh the losses.

Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun are not ordinary generals, they will not rely on their momentary courage to fight, but will comprehensively judge the situation in front of them, as well as the military power in their hands.

Will there even be new wars on the border in the follow-up troop reserves and borders after the war? They will take these factors into account.

In the end, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun came to the conclusion that they could fully bear the outcome of this war.

This was determined by the two of them after a comprehensive evaluation.

Over the years, Guo Jia has been mainly responsible for the development of people's livelihood in the state, as well as political and strategic reforms.

Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun have been responsible for pacifying local warfare, expanding the army, training soldiers and horses, and training an invincible army in Bingzhou.

Compared with Jizhou and Youzhou, the merger of states was under Liu Jian's command relatively late, and the foundation was thinner, so Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun did not dare to expand the number of soldiers and horses on a large scale, and the number of troops directly under the leadership of the two of them has always been around 15,000.

But these 15,000 soldiers and horses are the elite of the elite army.

Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun's requirements for military affairs are not expensive.

Find a way to train the most elite army and maintain its size without increasing the financial burden on the state government.

And they, through war, have honed these armies!

There are also a lot of war horses in Bingzhou, and Zhao Yun and they also equipped this army with a lot of war horses, so that the cavalry team in Bingzhou has reached a certain scale.

As for the annexation of the state, even if the local nobles organize an army to rebel against them, they are far inferior to them in terms of personnel and equipment, and the only thing to worry about is that they will find some nobles from the Xiongnu side who can fight against them.

But the current Huns are no longer than in the past, after Liu Jian's attack, as well as the run-in in recent years, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun believe that their prestige among the Xiongnu has far exceeded those Xiongnu nobles who want to restore the old system, so they are confident to win this war.

Guo Jia was very happy after hearing the two of them express their confidence that they could win this war.

So Guo Jia decided to carry out a purge in Bingzhou according to the established plan.

……

Sure enough, as Guo Jia expected, after the news of Wang Yun's death reached the Taiyuan Wang family, the Taiyuan Wang family immediately gathered a group of local wang clans who were not subject to Liu Jian's management in Bingzhou, and at the same time sent people to contact the Xiongnu nobles, wanting to cause internal and external troubles and subvert the regime in Bingzhou.

From the perspective of the Taiyuan Wang, Liu Jian's 80,000 troops were stationed in Chang'an, which means that the troops on this side of Hebei were far less than in their heyday, and once the local rebellion, Liu Jian's soldiers and horses in Guanzhong could not return in time, so as long as they could defeat Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others, they could control the situation in the state.

But it's a pity that in terms of strategy, Guo Jia is far superior to them.

……

The Taiyuan Wang clan immediately gathered their accomplices, and at the same time contacted the local wang clans everywhere, and concentrated the apprentices and soldiers and horses among the wang clans to prepare for a surprise attack on Guo Jiazhi's location.

Because the people in the Taiyuan Wang clan know very well that if they really want to fight the Bingzhou army head-on, even if they can concentrate the strength of a large number of wang clans, even if they can gain the upper hand in the short term, but after a long time, there may be problems.

After all, this state is Liu Jian's territory, and now most of the people are on Liu Jian's side, only those who have been hurt by the interests of the wang clan and some Xiongnu nobles have ambitions, but these people alone cannot gather the hearts of the people.

Therefore, you have to kill Guo Jia first before you can open a way to live first.

But as for the follow-up......

Let's talk about that later.

The wang clan in Bingzhou has fallen into madness, and they can't care too far into the future for the time being, so they can only take care of the things in front of them first.

But alas, they don't even understand what is in front of them.

The Taiyuan Wang clan wanted to secretly contact those Xiongnu nobles, but how could their actions escape the eyes of the school government?

When the clansmen of the Taiyuan Wang clan contacted those nobles, they were careful and careful...... But after all, they have not undergone formal training, and they cannot compare with the elite personnel of the state government.

Their actions were almost all discovered by the school officers.

And after the school priest passed these messages back to Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong then set out together.

On the night of February 21, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong each led their cavalry to set off, and according to the information provided by the school office, they went to attack six Xiongnu noble leaders who were connected with the Taiyuan Wang clan.

When the Southern Xiongnu were still independent, these Xiongnu aristocratic leaders had soldiers, generals and slaves in their hands, living a life of abundant food and clothing, and abusing others at will to nourish their lives.

Later, the Xiongnu army was defeated by the Han Dynasty government, and the tribes had no choice but to be surrendered by the Hebei government headed by Liu Jian.

These Xiongnu nobles also became Han people, and after that, they naturally had no privileges, although the Han Dynasty government still let them live a prosperous life, but they could not do whatever they wanted as before, and live the kind of life of stepping on others and acting recklessly.

So for these Xiongnu nobles, Liu Jian is their biggest obstacle, but Liu Jian's military strength is too terrible, they dare not have a head-on conflict with Liu Jian, so they can only live such a life with forbearance.

But now the Taiyuan Wang clan seems to have given them a chance to rebel, and many of them feel that they can stand up again!!

Of course, not every Xiongnu nobleman has such an idea, some Xiongnu nobles have already accepted their fate, they feel that the Han Dynasty is too strong, their Huns were annexed by the Han Dynasty, and it is a very normal thing to become a member of the Han nation, and the sooner the Xiongnu enter the Han Dynasty, the more it is a good thing for the children of the Xiongnu.

For such a person, the Hebei government office will naturally not deal with it.

But for the rest of the people who are reacting, it's time to clean them up.

The six Xiongnu aristocratic leaders who intended to collude with the Taiyuan Wang clan to rebel are typical.

Taking advantage of the fact that these people had just colluded with the Taiyuan Wang clan and had no specific plan to rebel, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong sent soldiers and horses to deal with the three families each, and took them all down with lightning speed.

As long as you take down their leader as quickly as possible, you can strangle their rebellion in the cradle.

Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong's skills naturally need not be said, these Xiongnu nobles were not opponents of the Hebei Army when they were in their heyday, let alone now?

It took almost no time for Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong to capture the six Xiongnu nobles and their families, and at the same time confiscated their soldiers and horses, as well as their goods, along with the horses they were in charge of, and the fields allocated to them by the Han government, all of which were confiscated.

After cleaning up these Xiongnu nobles, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong immediately gathered their troops and horses, turned their heads and went straight to Guo Jia's location.

After all, Guo Jia is the top wise man in the world, and according to his calculations, after the Taiyuan Wang clan reaches an agreement with the Xiongnu nobles, he will inevitably take his life first.

However, their movements will definitely not be so fast, because these people are still lacking in the art of war after all.

As long as Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong can sweep away the Xiongnu nobles with lightning speed, and then turn back to protect themselves, time will be completely enough.

And in Guo Jia's opinion, these soldiers and horses of the Taiyuan Wang clan are all formed by the apprentices they have gathered in the local area, and their combat effectiveness is not strong, and they are easy to expose.

If you want to deal with them, you don't have to worry about it.

In fact, as Guo Jia expected, the reaction speed of these soldiers and horses of the Wang clan led by the Taiyuan Wang clan was too slow, and when these Xiongnu nobles were swept away by Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, they did not even gather their soldiers and horses.

Just when Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong re-arrived at Guo Jia's side, these people were ready to kill Guo Jia.

At such a speed, how can you fight with top figures like Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong?

It's not on a level at all.

When these soldiers and horses of the noble clan came to kill Guo Jia, they faced Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, who were fierce soldiers.

Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong began to attack the rebels in Bingzhou as quickly as possible.

Their soldiers and horses were extremely elite, and with just one face, they were powerless to defeat these nobles who came to sneak attack.

After repulsing these soldiers and horses, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong went to attack the dock forts of these families respectively, confiscating their property, fields, and grain, and used them to fill the local treasury of the state.

The victory of these battles not only cleared up the unstable factors in the prefecture, but also greatly increased the financial and material resources and food resources of the prefecture government headed by Guo Jia, and greatly expanded the strength of the prefecture government.

After sweeping away these tumors, Guo Jia then wrote a note and went to Chang'an to ask Liu Jian for credit.

……

The Taiyuan Wang clan and the Hongnong Yang clan were exterminated, and the ministers who were attached to them were also swept away, this matter caused an uproar in the entire world's wang clan circle, and all the wang clans were terrified in their hearts for Liu Jian's such a fierce and merciless method.

Of course, there are also many people who are full of hatred for Liu Jian in their hearts.

They felt that Liu Jian was the number one enemy of their noble clan in the future, and they would bring down Liu Jian no matter what, but in fact, how could they defeat Liu Jian?

Now Liu Jian's strength is in full swing, and there is no one who can stop him from moving forward.

On the court side, the system of abolishing the three public prime ministers has been personally played by Huang Wan to the new emperor and handed over to the ministers for discussion.

Naturally, there are voices of opposition, but they can't stop the general trend at all.

Clear-eyed people know that Liu Jian, the prime minister, is a certainty.

This matter was quickly submitted to Shangshutai, and after Liu Jian entered Chang'an and supported Liu Xie to ascend to the throne, Shangshutai's Shangshutai order had been replaced by him.

The original Shangshu Ling was Wang Yunyan's lineage, but in this key position, it was impossible for someone who was not Liu Jian to hold it.

And the candidate for this Shang Shuling naturally fell on Xun Yu's head.

After Xun Yu entered Shangshutai, he immediately made a major change to the personnel of Shangshutai, including Shangshu Servant, Shang Shulang and other personnel, and replaced all the personnel of Shangshutai with officials who took refuge in Liu Jian or transferred from Hebei, or the Qingliu celebrities recommended by Xun You, anyway, Xun Yu is still very serious about the structure of this department.

Mastered Shangshutai, Liu Jian's next actions were very smooth.

With the joint support of a group of officials, princes, kings, clansmen and the Son of Heaven, the Three Princes system was abolished and the system of prime ministers supervising the country was established.

Liu Jian also officially became Prime Minister Liu Cheng.
