Yangzhou City.

Now most of the rebels are hoarding in Chuzhou, there are only more than 1,000 regular troops in Yangzhou City, and Xiye led 20,000 troops in less than half a day to break through Yangzhou City.

"I ...... We were also forced by the prefect, and my lord spared my life! ”

"Please, spare the old and the children! They weren't involved in the whole time! ”

Outside Yangzhou City, there are a continuous number of scholars and children who have been escorted out, not to mention more than 50,000 people, after all, Yangzhou City is an extremely wealthy city, and there are many rich people in this city.

It is also for this reason that the rebels chose to start an incident here, with the local prefect taking the lead, all the families donated money and food in order to recover the land that was taken away by Chen Mu before, and the rebels soon gathered here.

"Madam, according to His Highness's style of doing things, these people will definitely not survive, so they will be killed directly, right?"

Liu Qing slowly came to Xiye and said so, as for Xiye, he looked at this group of people and pondered for a long time, and shook his head.

"These people can't pose any harm, the real headache is still Chuzhou's side, several great families control 120,000 displaced people, after learning that we have broken their plan to move closer to the west, they must be panicked, the more this time, the more we have to make them feel that there is still a way back."

Although Xiye is ready to solve the entire rebellion in one go, she doesn't want to directly lead the army to fight the remaining rebels, after all, the other party is six times as many as herself, even if she wins, first, she can't expand her territory, and second, she can't have any interests, in order to suppress a rebellion, she will drain the troops of His Royal Highness's descendants in vain.

Can't make it.

Liu Qing frowned: "Then what do you mean?"

Xiye looked at these bitter families, and said with a smile: "The siege of the master must be que, and those families in Chuzhou must see the way out, as long as there is a disagreement between the command level above, it will be resolved."

"You go and release them, and tell them this when the time comes."

After the order was finished, Liu Qing came to tens of thousands of people and said sharply: "This time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will personally conquer, and in a few days he will raise troops with the 70,000 Xiliang troops who came to encircle and suppress the rebels in Chuzhou City.

Hearing that it was His Royal Highness who personally quelled the rebellion today, everyone's faces were shocked, and then they hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank Your Highness for not killing you!"

Xiye watched quietly from a distance, and then looked in the direction of Chuzhou, the distance between the two was not more than a hundred miles, I believe that the news would soon reach the ears of those people.

The next day, Suzhou City.

"Head of the family, don't worry, our family is fine, the court has not investigated us for capital crimes, but I am afraid that our family property will be lost in the future."

"Ouch, you can make more money, as long as there is nothing to do at home, by the way, is it really the prince himself?"

"This time it is His Royal Highness the Prince's personal expedition, which is naturally the meaning of the Prince."

In addition to the prefect Su Yu, the rebels also had the largest five families in Yangzhou City, who originally planned to take advantage of this rebellion to seek greater benefits for themselves, but who would have expected that their hometown would be broken by others!

After the news came, the major families were all thinking about it based on the news, but without exception, they were all thinking about how to get out of it, and this rebellion could not be carried out.

Not only did the family all fall into the hands of the imperial court, but the 30,000 elites raised were all killed by the prince's army, and the remaining 120,000 people seemed to be huge, but only their insiders knew that these 120,000 people had no combat effectiveness at all.

But at this time, the head of the Li family sent people to the remaining four families.

"The head of the family is waiting for a banquet in the house, please don't make a noise."

When the four of them saw this posture, they knew that the Li family was going to take the lead in making a decision on this matter.

Taking advantage of the night, the four of them went to the Li Mansion alone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although the imperial court has not communicated to us, it is actually secretly conveying the meaning to us, if the five of us continue to rebel against Su Yu, our family will really not be able to save it."

Hearing the words of the head of the Li family, everyone nodded: "What does Brother Li mean, ......?"

"I have received the news that the imperial court is confiscating our family's money and property, but it has not done anything to the end, our shop has not been confiscated, we are afraid that we will have to start all over again when we go back this time, and the meaning of the imperial court is that the capital crime can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped."

Hearing that the imperial court was searching for their money, everyone was not only not angry, but a little happy, because this showed that the imperial court really meant to forgive them.

"With the foundation we have laid in Yangzhou for many years, it is not difficult for Dongshan to make a comeback, we were really taken to the ditch by Su Yu this time, or let's take advantage of tonight and go out of the city directly, right?"

The head of the Li family shook his head: "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince need most now?" It's to counter the rebellion, we have already made such a big mistake, and His Royal Highness spared our lives, obviously asking us to submit a petition for nomination. ”

"Vote?"

The head of the Li family showed a hint of ruthlessness on his face: "Arrest Su Yu directly, so that we can be regarded as guilty and meritorious!"

Hearing that they were going to arrest Su Chao, everyone was still a little scared after all, after all, for many years, they had been relying on the care of the prefect Su Chao all the time in Yangzhou.

However, thinking of the hundreds of people in the family, the eyes of several people suddenly became firm.

That night, the five masters gathered the personal soldiers in their hands and went directly to the Su Yu Mansion.

The next day.

Almost the entire families of Yangzhou City participated in this rebellion, so Xiye had enough reason to raid these people's homes.

More than 6 million taels of silver alone were copied, not including some precious calligraphy and paintings, porcelain and jade.

"Now that the treasury is short of money, I will definitely be very happy to see so much money in my Highness."

Xiye looked at the mountains of silver and smiled happily.

On the contrary, Liu Qing had a worried face, endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking: "Madam, when are we going to attack, if the city is besieged by the rebels, it will be troublesome."

Xiye kept rubbing this delicate jade artifact, and shook his head: "No need, let the soldiers pack their things, and when the time comes, they will directly cross the river and return to Tokyo to see His Highness."

"What? What about the 120,000 rebels? It's not easy for us to play with such a big advantage, so let's go back to Tokyo? ”

Xiye put down the jade and glanced at Liu Qing lightly: "Do you need to question my decision?"

Liu Qing hurriedly knelt down: "Don't dare!"

"That's right, let's go."

"But ......"

But just as Liu Qing was about to continue to persuade, a small soldier suddenly ran in in a hurry!

"General Qiyu! What a happy event! The five masters of Yangzhou tied up the thief leader Su Yu! ”

"What!?"

"It's already in town!"

After hearing this shocking good news, Liu Qing looked at the west night again in disbelief.

All this was definitely planned by her, but she never sent anyone to contact the five masters, what the hell is going on!
