Chapter 167

Liu Yan had basically called the family's non collateral collateral to many families in Chang Guang county and Dong Mu county. So long time ago, those non collateral branches were assimilated. Therefore, in some ways, Liu Yan's "virgin" is in the overall situation, not just for a certain class.

It is a strategic layout of collateral branches acting as masters, just as it must occupy and defend liao1 East narrow peninsula, which is part of the overall strategic layout.

Liu Yan waved to Xigu, and it was time to use those earlier layouts.

The beheaded clan leaders will have side branches from the original family. They will have strong backing to push them to power. It will be another thing to win over or directly eliminate those who disagree.

The reason why I came to break up Donglai academy first and hunt down those who want to escape is just to buy time for a series of things.

We should deeply know that in the era without mobile phones, telephones, telegrams and other convenient means of communication, once people are scattered, it is basically a dream to want instant contact.

Mr. Gong Tao ran away with a small number of confidants. It was deliberately released by the Han Dynasty. It is estimated that they will go to the place they think is safe and hide for a short period of time? Then it is impossible to make a rapid and effective response to this event, which is tantamount to losing the first hand.

Liu Yan will take advantage of this period of time to solve the internal problems of Changguang county and Dongmou county. It is probably a quick way to cut the mess, restore the absolute rule over the two counties in the shortest time, and then start to Donglai county.

This time, the Ministry of Han occupied Donglai academy, not destroyed Donglai Academy. Such a college that took decades to build looks good. Why destroy it?

The rest of the family members who were not killed were driven into the courtyard at the foot of the mountain and detained. Next, LV parliament "reasoned" one by one. It is best to be willing to obey nature, and it doesn't matter if they don't. The difference is that those who obey can be used immediately, while those who are unwilling to obey can only be used after a period of time.

To say that the family that can survive in troubled times really doesn't have "tough guys", it's just one night. LV Yi reported good results to Liu Yan.

"So there are thirty-two families willing to obey?" Liu Yan's face couldn't stop showing surprise: "can they have a little backbone?"

LV Yi smiled and said, "their close friends have returned, and they are detained. How many of the 32 families are really obedient will be known in the next period of time."

From the Vanquisher's point of view, he should like soft eggs rather than tough guys. Liu Yan can't help but despise: "they can obey us quickly and sell us again without hesitation."

LV Yi certainly agrees with this view: "as long as we continue to be strong, they can only choose to obey."

You're right. Being able to "plot" 32 families smoothly is directly related to the military strength of the Han Dynasty, which shows the posture of being a strong man. If the Han Dynasty looks very weak, there must be some families who will obey, but there are not so many in one night.

"Most think they have been deceived." LV Yi said with obvious absurdity: "Gong Tao told them that we would give up Changguang county and Dongmou county and join in. It was just a risk-free sharing feast."

I don't blame Mr. Gong Tao. It's what Liu Yan did. It seems that he really wants to give up Changguang county and Dongmou county. Otherwise, how can he move his hands again and again, leaving two counties that are almost empty?

If judged according to normal thinking, Liu Yan would really give up the two counties if he did that. However, Liu Yan is a person who can't look at it according to common sense.

Not only people outside the Han Dynasty think that Liu Yan wants to give up Changguang county and Dongmou County, but also people inside the Han Dynasty think so. As a result, people including Jichang and Tian Shuo have repeatedly strengthened their attention to the narrow peninsula in liao1 East, and even act according to the scale of the forward base when operating the temple islands.

"Sir, if we return to the army, it will make those people confused." LV Yi raised his hand and waved a gesture: "it's convenient to break each one before they react."

There may be some misunderstanding, that is, after Liu Yan decided to wave the army to Xigu, his subordinates immediately made brain repair. For example, the previous actions were to lead the snake out of the cave, further clean Changguang county and Dongmou County, and let the Donglai academy, which has been hiding in the dark, come out personally.

Donglai academy has a wide network of contacts in Qingzhou, but they can only exert influence rather than actually belong to them. It means that the forces that are enemies with the Han Dynasty are not real groups, there is no efficient and close relationship, and they can only be said to be a group with common interests.

If Mr. Gong Tao were given more time, he might be able to integrate those forces that do not belong to each other, or at least form a closely connected collective. It is only Liu Yan who led the army back.

Do you know what those core classes in the Han Dynasty are thinking? They suddenly found that Liu Yan was actually very good at "playing chess". It took so long to arrange the "chess game". Everyone was more confident in the future. Everyone was full of energy and confidence.

Liu Yan may have been "playing a big game" at the beginning, but the conscience of heaven and earth is aimed at the possible encirclement and suppression of the army in houzhao, not at those families.

"Shi bin has led his troops north. There is no Imperial Army around Qingzhou. However, we still don't have much time. We need to create more established facts before the imperial court reacts." LV Yi looked at the bonfires everywhere at the foot of the mountain and said with confidence: "your early layout has been completed. Next, let's finish by your post!"

Including auxiliary soldiers and civilian men, Liu Yan mobilized 36000 people this time, which is equivalent to more than one fifth of the population of the Han Dynasty. It is impossible to simply consolidate the rule of Changguang county and Dongmou county.

At dawn tomorrow, the troops will disperse and attack. They will complete one surprise attack after another while most families don't know what happened, and try their best to break more strongholds or fortresses.

The other branches of the families who had come to the Han Dynasty earlier returned to the family overnight with people and used all available means to control the family.

As a member of the strong, it is a happy thing in troubled times. At least Chen Bin feels very happy.

Chen Bin is a collateral branch of the Chen family. He is a kind of people who can be abandoned anytime and anywhere at a dangerous time. Therefore, he was abandoned without hesitation two years ago and sent to the Han Dynasty to become a hostage who will be killed at any time.

In the past two years, Chen Bin has changed from an insignificant person. First, he has changed from a hostage to a soldier of the Han Dynasty, and then he has become a member of the Han Dynasty in a real sense. He has followed the army to make achievements, changed from a person who was nothing to a village head of a strong army, and immediately became the head of the family from a side branch of the family.

"Chief, how big is your family?"

"Big, but big!"

"How old?"

"There are more than 300 clansmen and more than 2000 farmers. How big do you say!"

Chen Bin didn't bring many people. He chose 50 soldiers from the village. They were carefully selected by him. They could be called heroes one by one. They were the strength for him to seize the leadership of the family.

All the fifty soldiers were dressed in leather armor. They looked sharp and energetic. They had participated in at least ten battles and were killed in a sea of blood with Gaogouli on Chaoxian peninsula.

Look at the armbands of 50 soldiers. Everyone has at least one bronze Skill Badge, most of which are spears, and many of which are swords or swords. They are "technicians" who have passed the tribal assessment and are recognized. More importantly, they all have experience on the battlefield.

In other words, the Han Dynasty has been engaged in a low-intensity war with Koguryo on the Korean Peninsula. It is burning, killing and looting everywhere, and it is also encroaching on Koguryo's territory.

During the continuous battle, Liu Yan planned to rotate the army in batches, which is tantamount to training with a large number of people temporarily armed in Koguryo. In terms of effectiveness, after a series of military training in the Han Dynasty, the effect is very good. Almost every soldier has experienced the hardening of the battlefield and produced a large number of meritorious people.

Chen Bin is now a member of the huge class of Gongmin in the Han Dynasty. He is proud of this identity and that he has a silver sword badge on his armband.

Gongmin is a special group in the Han Dynasty. They enjoy another layer of social welfare besides "skill" assessment. Any civilian should avoid saluting when seeing them and give priority to owning real estate and getting a wife. More importantly, even if they retire, they have more opportunities to transfer to local officials than anyone else.

"It's almost here. Don't be sharp at that time. Just go home with me." Chen Bin's voice was loud: "go into the dock first, and then listen to my orders!"

An uproarious response to "promise!" The sound of sound sounded.

Seizing power never depends on simple killing. It requires a reasonable step. If you can kill less, you should not kill more.

For example, Chen Bin and other side branches responsible for going back and "turning over to be the master", what they need to do is to form effective control over the family, so that the family can contribute to the Han collective in the next battle, which is really not only killing people, but also coercion, inducement and other means.

"The emperor is destined to rule Qingzhou. The family can only join in, not be crushed as a stumbling block." Like many people with a common mission, Chen Bin thought firmly: "the family can grow only by participating in the great cause of the monarch and making more contributions. I must not screw up and let the family lose such a good opportunity!"

In other words, what idea did Ji Chang teach these people?
