Chapter 571: The Sima Family's Overtures
When Ma Tan summoned Sima Wang to come, the great wang clans in Hanoi were actually discussing countermeasures.
Hanoi County is a large county in Hebei Province under Sizhou, and the power of the wang clan here is intertwined and extraordinary. Among them, the Wei family, the Zhang family, the Sima family and many other Hanoi clans had extremely huge influence in the Cao Wei court.
However, no matter how influential it is, when the Han army hits in front of them, they have nothing to do. They had little other strength than to resist and overdraw the authority of the clan to pull the entire Hanoi county to resist.
It's just that Ma Tan doesn't want to slaughter the city, if Cao Cao comes, they will most likely have to lower their eyebrows and be dogs.
And at the moment, tens of thousands of Han troops are close at hand, and the reinforcements sent by Cao Wei are indeed few, and several major families themselves are also panicked. Especially this time it was Ma Tan who fought this time, this famous butcher, which put huge pressure on the Hanoi family.
Therefore, several prominent families also consult with each other every day to discuss how to tide over the difficulties next.
One of their most pessimistic discussions was actually the refusal of the Han army to surrender and the massacre of Hanoi counties. In that case, they would have to give up all their possessions and flee with only a small number of their sons-in-law.
And when Sima Wang came to Hanoi in the name of the general of the Han Dynasty and expressed the intention of the Han Dynasty to surrender to these fellow villagers, several prominent clans in Hanoi were immediately overjoyed.
Finally, someone was sent to recruit them, and if they didn't come again, they would really have to run away.
However, after Sima Wang came, it was not good news. He made it clear that General Ji Han Hussars was unwilling to slaughter the city, so he asked him to come and surrender.
Here it is necessary to reiterate the issue of the unified commentary of the scriptures, in fact, the Hanoi nobles did not have a unified opinion on this issue before.
"I advise you to go for the worst"
Ma Tan did not put forward his own conditions, which caused the gang of wealthy families to have to guess on their own.
As soon as Sima Wang's words came out, several family heads couldn't help but fall silent. In each other's eyes, they both saw a deep fear.
"What are the conditions for this Han general? It can't be that we hand over all the property ourselves, right? The head of the Wei family was a little breathless, and couldn't help but ask.
The unification of the commentaries on the scriptures indicates that all assessments have begun to be based on evidence, which is a good thing for the country. However, it is really implemented, but it is the most unhappy for all readers.
Among them, the Wei family is the most pessimistic about the prospects. After all, they started with Confucianism, and Ma Yan's current action to unify the Confucian annotations is undoubtedly digging their roots!
And even if it is a surrender, the requirements will be extremely harsh, and it will be necessary for the Hanoi Wang clan to make their own judgment before talking. If you can't accept it, then don't come at all, stay at home and wait for death.
As soon as Sima Wang said this, several wealthy families couldn't help but gasp. They didn't expect the Han army to be so resolute at all, and they were even ready to slaughter Hanoi!
After all, the unification of the commentaries on the scriptures indicates that most of the knowledge they had studied hard before was invalid. They need to abandon the family studies they have studied for half their lives, and then re-study the official commentaries, which is no less influential than the Tongwen of the Qin Dynasty.
"I don't know, but according to General Ma's character, there is a high probability that it will be very harsh." Sima Wang shook his head and said directly.
Especially a big family like the Wei family, which started with Confucianism, is almost digging their roots.
But at this time, Sima Wang began to persuade them from the perspective of his fellow villagers.
"I suggest you accept it, otherwise Ma Jian really dares to slaughter the city!" Sima Wangwei said matter-of-factly.
"Besides, there is a shortage of people in the Han Dynasty right now, and now surrendering can still strive for a little benefit to make up for the loss. If you force the Han army to do it, I'm afraid there will be nothing! ”
"Don't think that the Han army can't do it, isn't he doing less of this hussar general?"
Under Sima Wang's alarmism, all the noble clans were extremely desperate. Under coercion and temptation, they finally had to choose to accept their fate.
It's just that when several big clans went from despair to resignation, they didn't notice a subtle smile on the corner of Sima Wang's mouth.
In fact, he knows very well where Ma Yan's bottom line is this time, and he is actually a loose batch. However, he did not tell these fellows, and even hinted that his own people were the first to express their willingness to accept.
You must know that the influence of this group of prominent clans in Hanoi is very great, and their statements will even indirectly affect the bottom line of the entire Kwantung clan when they surrender.
This is a great credit, if they don't sell these fellow villagers at a good price, their Sima family will not be able to progress in the future.
As for their Sima family's losses for this. This is not a matter at all under the temptation of progress. Anyway, their Sima family has always lived a long life, so it's a big deal to start all over again.
It can be said that Sima Wang's calculation was very successful. In the end, under some intimidation, all the great Hanoi nobles had no choice but to make concessions and accepted the harshest conditions under the threat of life and death.

Under the impetus of Sima Wang, the progress of the negotiation far exceeded Ma Yan's imagination. The entire county of Hanoi surrendered almost unconditionally, and took the initiative to send a large and rich county to Ma Yan's hands.
Originally, Ma Jian made certain concessions, but the Hanoi Wang clan was stunned and did not mention any conditions. Not only that, but they also became good citizens, and even the Wei family threw away their family studies and took the initiative to express their willingness to endorse Ji Han's scriptures.
And Ma Jian is not a fool, so he naturally knows where the key to all this is. Obviously, this is a gesture of goodwill by the Sima family in Hanoi by selling his fellow villagers.
"I kind of understand how good Sima's family is at camping, and this show of goodwill is so good." Ma Jian shook his head speechlessly, and couldn't help but sigh.
Originally, Ma Jian also thought that he would have the opportunity to clean up the interior in the future, and find a stubble to clean up Sima Fu who had surrendered. As a result, such a generous gift and gesture made Ma Jian hesitate whether to do it.
It can be said that Sima Wang has given a generous gift this time. In the future, when all the Dong Shi people surrender, it is estimated that they will have to refer to the surrender conditions of the Hanoi wang clan.
But who would have known that all this was actually concocted by Kanto's own people......
"General, now all the counties of Hanoi have surrendered to Kaesong." At this time, Jiang Wei from the front line also galloped back and reported in surprise.
"These Kanto people are really rich, and the county treasury is full of grain. The armor and arrows are all excellent, and it is the first time that our army has been so rich since the six towns of Governor! ”
