Chapter 219: Liu Yan who was forced to be anxious
"Since none of you can come up with an idea, then I'll do it myself!" A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Liu Yan's eyes.
"How many prisoners do I have in prison in Chengdu now?" Liu Yan asked.
"About 18,000 people." I vaguely understood what Liu Yan was thinking, but this was not the time to turn his face with Liu Yan, and the strategists below had to be enlightened.
During this time, Yizhou was full of rogues. Although Liu Yan was not pacified, and was defeated repeatedly, he also won some and captured a lot of prisoners.
"Pull them all out, and place a single army in front of the city to resist Yuan's army."
"In addition, there are also a lot of private soldiers in your family, I wonder if you are willing to contribute them to be temporarily handed over to a certain control?" Liu Yan said with a ruthless look in his eyes and a gloomy tone.
"This..."The eyes of many civil and military officers in the audience flickered, and the strange eyes continued to communicate invisibly in the air, obviously with ghosts in their hearts.
Knowing for a long time that this group of old foxes would not give in, Liu Yan shouted: "Come on!" ”
Soon, hundreds of armor soldiers ran in neatly and surrounded the ministers under the hall.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what you mean by this trip?" A minister asked with an earthy face.
They all thought that everything was under control, but they never thought that Liu Yan would have such courage to make such a decision.
Perhaps, as a result, Liu Yan will lose whether he can block Yuan Shu's attack or not. But I have to say that this is indeed Liu Yan's best choice now.
"I know what you're thinking. Since I ascended the throne, I have long wished that I had fallen. Liu Yan said calmly, his tone indifferent but like a volcano about to erupt, brewing terrifying anger and murderous intent brewing.
"I was really confused at the beginning, and I actually chose to be the emperor. However, I am a descendant of Gaozu, and no matter how downcast I am, I can't be calculated. More than 30,000 of the 50,000 elite soldiers in Chengdu City are my henchmen, just to guard against you! ”
At this time, Liu Yan no longer wanted to play Tai Chi with these families, so he simply tore his face and said.
Yuan Shu came to attack Yizhou so smoothly, Liu Yan knew that it was boring. At this time of life and death, Liu Yan, who has poor ability but not weak eyesight, quickly made the most correct choice.
He left the only army of 30,000 he could control in Chengdu, and sent out those troops loyal to the various families.
It's also ridiculous to say, as the dignified lord of Yizhou, only 30,000 of the 100,000 troops in Yizhou are loyal to him! The rest are basically the private soldiers of various families.
Among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, the family group in Yizhou is not very strong, but Liu Yan, who is suppressed, has no power to fight back.
"Your Majesty, you blame me for waiting! We also want to help Your Majesty, but it's a pity that we are powerless! A child of a family struggled unwillingly.
"Hehe, powerless?" Liu Yan smiled coldly.
"Your Zhao family has hundreds of dead soldiers, thousands of private soldiers, tens of thousands of hidden black accounts, and in the past few years, hundreds of thousands of grains and salaries have been embezzled, and countless fertile fields have been embezzled, you tell me that you are powerless!" Liu Yan said with murderous intent.
Although he is not capable of controlling or suppressing the Yizhou family because of his own lack of ability, it does not mean that he does not know what these Yizhou families have done on weekdays.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion was mainly affected by Kyushu in the north, while Jingzhou and Yangzhou in the south increased dramatically due to the large number of displaced people from the north, but the population of Yizhou declined instead of increasing.
The usual rebellion of the gangsters does not explain all this at all. Liu Yan secretly investigated, and the people who disappeared were either hidden by the family, or driven out of Yizhou after the family seized the land, and even many were sold to Yuan Shu by the family.
Roughly calculated, there are hundreds of thousands of people hiding in the families of these celebrities under the light hall. The total number of private soldiers in the entire Chengdu City is at least 350,000, how can Liu Yan not be afraid?
So he endured it again and again, for fear of provoking these families. But now his Yizhou is about to change hands! How is it different from waiting for death to endure at this time?
It's easy for an honest person not to get angry, but it's really terrifying to start a fire. Liu Yan held back for so long, and the anger in his heart was already difficult to suppress, and all of it was vented at this time.
In the shocked eyes of everyone, Liu Yan changed his usual weak and bullying appearance, and the whole person exuded a terrifying might, instantly crushing the audience.
An ugly-looking scholar standing in the pile of strategists looked at Liu Yan in amazement.
If you don't explode in silence, you perish in silence! Liu Yan, a wretched waste, actually showed amazing courage in a desperate situation, and faintly had the assets of a male master!
It's a pity that it's too late!
Zhang Song shook his head secretly.
With his wisdom, he could see at a glance that Liu Yan's move had cut himself off from the Yizhou family. Even if he holds Yizhou next, he is just a caged bird.
After all, Liu Yan's ability and character are there, and there has always been no good general who is really loyal to him, so he can't suppress the scene at all.
Now it was because the family underestimated Liu Yan that he was caught off guard. After they reacted, it was Liu Yan's death.
Without the capital and means like Yuan Shu, turning his face with the family is death. Liu Yan is now only 30,000 troops, even if he is a talented woman, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, but to postpone his death.
The family and Yuan Shu will not give Liu Yan, who has come to his senses, any chance.
"Where did Your Majesty learn about these rumors? My Zhao family has been based in Yizhou for decades, and has always kept to themselves, and has never done these things. There have never been these dead soldiers as the lord said, and I hope the lord will see it! ”
The minister named by Liu Yan knelt on the ground with a loyal face and shouted injustice.
"Your Majesty, please be aware of it!"
The surrounding ministers also knelt on the ground and said in unison.
In a moment, there was a kneeling in the hall. All Liu Yan's courtiers knelt on the ground and shouted in unison.
Looking at the behavior of these people in the family as if they were forcing the palace, Liu Yan's heart was cold.
Is it true that there is not even a loyal man under his command?
Liu Yan, who was cold in his heart, began to reflect on his past. Weak, incompetent, mediocre, and cold, these seem to be the best adjectives for the past self.
But it's already at this point, and it's too late to say anything. Liu Yan was ruthless in his heart, since he couldn't turn back, he could only move forward!
"Hammer!"
Pulling out the sword at his waist, Liu Yan slowly walked towards the minister he had named before. His steps were firm and steady, and he made a soft sound when he stepped on the ground.
And all the ministers were startled by Liu Yan's action of drawing his sword, and immediately silenced, kneeling on the ground and not daring to move. The entire hall turned from noisy to silent, only Liu Yan's footsteps echoed in everyone's ears.
The sound of heavy footsteps seemed to step on everyone's hearts, and they felt terrified. Finally, the footsteps stopped, in front of the man who had been kneeling at first.
The man who didn't dare to look directly at Liu Yan's gaze and lowered his head looked at the frozen feet in front of him, as well as the cold light of the sword tip. Finally, he mustered up the courage to slowly raise his head and see Liu Yan's eyes.
Indifferent! Crazy!
These two opposing and extreme emotions appeared in Liu Yan's eyes at the same time, which was so weird and terrifying.
At the same time, a voice that seemed to have no emotion sounded in his ears: "You, what did you just say?" ”
