Chapter 47 Dead

Fengqu City has fallen!

The captain was killed, as were the soldiers defending the city; but the common people suffered no loss except being frightened.

The news soon spread to the surrounding cities.

It's like throwing a huge rock into calm water, causing huge waves.

"God damn it! Are all the people under Ye Jiuxing's command killing gods?"

"Run! I don't want this skin anymore."

"Damn it, does Ye Jiuxing really want to be an enemy of all clans in the world? Does he really want to stand against all the powerful and wealthy people?"

It is obvious that those who said these words are local tyrants and powerful people.

They were full of fear of Ye Jiuxing.

And endless hatred.

Powerful and wealthy?

In fact, these people are not afraid of changing dynasties. The worst that can happen is that they can just find a new master!

Dynasties come and go, but clans remain forever!
There is some truth to this statement!

After occupying a territory, the new ruler will most likely adopt a conciliatory attitude towards the original clan in order to smoothly complete the transition of power.

As for Bai Qi, he simply wanted to kill them all.

This extreme approach will undoubtedly push all clans and powerful people into opposition.

Ye Jiuxing has given some thought to this.

The clan is weak-willed!
He only needs to make a little effort to gain the support of many clans, which will undoubtedly be of great help in overthrowing the Dayu Dynasty.

But after careful consideration, Ye Jiuxing rejected it again.

What is a clan?
That is the cancer of a dynasty!

They will cling to the bloodline of the dynasty, poison the people, and dig up the foundation of the dynasty.

In this case, why should we conquer this cancer?

It’s better to be cruel.

At the very beginning of establishing your business, eradicate these cancers completely!
As for talent?

Ye Jiuxing was not worried. He had many outstanding Chinese people under his command. Maybe there were not many of them now, but as time went by, one day they would stand at the top of the world.

By then, there will be as many wise counselors as clouds and as many brave generals as rain!
Why worry?

Need not!

Ye Jiuxing inherited the original owner's memory, which was equivalent to experiencing a betrayal, and he always had a hint of suspicion towards outsiders.

Only the outstanding Chinese people can he fully trust!
Moreover, making use of outstanding Chinese people has another benefit, which is to ensure the purity of the team.

Only by lightening your burden and traveling light can you go further!

He is a lonely soul, wandering in this world, but he has an inseparable bond with the outstanding people of China.

That's a fire!

The fire of inheritance comes from Chinese civilization!

The heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang, and everything in the world actually has its own advantages and disadvantages!

In the eyes of the clan, Ye Jiuxing is a demon who has killed people without mercy and is unforgivable. They wish they could skin him alive and eat his flesh.

But for ordinary people, their impression of Ye Jiuxing has changed.

"I heard before that Ye Jiuxing killed people without mercy, massacred cities at will, and allowed his subordinates to burn, kill, and plunder. Now it seems that this may not be true!"

"Massacre of a city? Have you ever heard of a city being massacred in Xingzhou?"

“It seems that there is no such thing!”

"Most likely it's a rumor spread by the court. Lord Ye is a good official. When he was in power, he carried out major reforms and gained a lot of benefits for us."

People were gathered in groups of three or five, talking in low voices.

Before this, they were also afraid of Ye Jiuxing.

But Bai Qi entered the city without hurting anyone, which undoubtedly reshaped their impression of Ye Jiuxing.

While discussing and analyzing, I thought of Ye Jiuxing's good points again.

This also made many people hope that Ye Jiuxing could come over earlier so that they would no longer be bullied by clan nobles.

"correct!"

Suddenly, someone seemed to have thought of something and said in a deep voice: "Lord Ye is kind to the people, but he is ruthless to the enemy. If any of you have soldiers in your family, you should persuade them to retire as soon as possible!"

"During the war, you are not allowed to retire." "Then wait until you die!"

"You can retire. If the court holds you accountable, your family will most likely be implicated!"

"The imperial court? Now Dayu is almost dead! And if you dare to support the imperial court, then you are Lord Ye's enemy!"

"Forget it! I'd better let the kid follow Master Ye!"

Many people were persuaded and wrote letters to persuade their family members to retire.

For a while.

The Liangzhou army started a craze of demobilization.

It is said that Liang Chao was almost furious when he heard about this.

Of course, this is all a story for later.

Bai Qi was not concerned about the changes in Liangzhou.

It’s okay to resist!

It’s good to know the current affairs!
To him, it didn't make much difference. It was just a matter of one sword. If one sword couldn't solve the problem, he would use a second sword.

In the following period, Bai Qi was unstoppable and captured several cities.

There were no significant obstacles.

The captain of the city wanted to resist, which aroused public anger and triggered a mutiny, and he was beheaded by his own men.

If you want to be loyal, you can!
But please don't drag me down with you to die!

Bai Qi's attack route was a branch line that went straight to Hengcheng.

In the rear, Cao Chun led a large army into Hengcheng, divided the troops into four groups, and launched attacks on the four counties at the same time.

While they were attacking, officials from all over Liangzhou faithfully carried out Luo Chao's orders and gathered all the garrison troops with a certain level of combat effectiveness that could be mobilized to Feijiang.

Abandon the local area, concentrate superior forces, and fight a decisive battle.

The mayor of Hengcheng personally led a team to recruit 500,000 people for labor service and built defensive fortifications on the banks of the Feijiang River.

After the armies from all over the country gathered, Luo Chao ordered the destruction of all bridges in Feijiang River.

Prepare to use this method to delay for two more days.

Imperial City.

Royal study room.

The empress sat high on the throne with a cold expression as she looked at the information in her hands.

Then, she looked up and asked, "How is the situation with the Marquis of Zhenguo?"

"Return to your majesty!"

Below, Wang Ya bowed and said, "The Marquis of Zhenguo is mobilizing troops. In addition, he reported to the court that he wants to take his three sons and ten grandsons with him to the war, leaving only the youngest grandson. I am considering whether to agree."

Thirteen people!
They are all direct descendants of the Chu family!

If an accident happens on the battlefield, the Chu family will only have one descendant left!
"Promise him!"

The empress thought for a moment and said in a cold voice: "The Marquis of Zhenguo wants to lead his descendants to make meritorious deeds. I agree! Prime Minister, tell him that as long as he can kill Ye Jiuxing and his descendants, I will reward him handsomely!"

Good thing!
Doesn't the fact that Chu Zhuang led his descendants to the battle show that he was confident of winning?
"This"

Wang Ya opened his mouth slightly, as if he was about to say something.

He knew Chu Zhuang. This man was not keen on interpretation. He retired at the right time and took the younger generation to the battlefield. It was definitely not to seek credit.

Fame and fortune!

Although it is exciting, it also brings disaster!

The Marquis of Zhenguo holds the highest position among all the ministers and there is no higher title that can be bestowed upon him. If he takes one more step, a catastrophic disaster will await his mansion.

With Chu Zhuang's wisdom, it is impossible for him not to see this.

If so, why do this?

Is it
Wang Ya's heart tightened as he thought of a terrible fact: Could it be that Chu Zhuang had no confidence in this battle?

So that's why you took away the outstanding descendants of the family?

First, enhance your strength!
Second, if the army was defeated, the imperial court would not be able to settle accounts with the Marquisate because of the loyalty of the entire family!

Wang Ya thought about it, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He looked at the empress with excitement on her face, hesitated, but still didn't say anything.

The empress had no idea what Wang Ya was thinking. At this moment, she was looking forward to the scene of Ye Jiuxing's defeat.

Ye Jiuxing!
I will use the power of the entire country to suppress it, and you are dead!
