The cannon fire and beacon smoke that filled the city were the last elegy for the reign of King Wei of Jinling. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Ye Qingyun led the soldiers to rush into the Wei Palace, and in the end they only found some slaves and servants who had not yet had time to escape.

"The King of Wei must have fled." Ye Qingyun frowned, this was what he expected, after all, the same strategy as last time, they adopted the method of besieging the city on three sides and letting the enemy escape on the other.

Now the most important purpose of the battle is to occupy Jinling City, as long as Jinling City is broken, the south and north of Wei will fall into their hands, and Wei will be in front of the north and south.

"A few of you stay and watch the Wei Palace, and the other soldiers will come with me to take down the Jinling Mansion Treasury." Ye Qingyun's expression was solemn, this Wei land is rich and famous all over the world, if he takes the treasury, it will greatly solve the financial problems of the feudal country, and this is also a great credit to him.

With that, he continued to lead his soldiers across the Wei Palace's palace to attack south.

Today's Jinling City is still in chaos, the Wei soldiers have no intention of fighting, either surrender or take the opportunity to rob in the city and flee outside the city, Ye Qingyun rarely encounters decent resistance along the way.

After entering the city, the battle became unusually smooth, and the soldiers of the Dengzhou army poured into the city from three sides, and in the evening they basically occupied Jinling City, taking over the city's government offices, treasury, granaries, barracks and other facilities.

When night fell, Ye Qingyun wiped the blood on his sword, he couldn't remember how many soldiers fell under his sword today, but fortunately, the war was over.

"Dudu, there is a person from outside the city who calls himself Zhang Yi, and he says that the King of Wei is in his hands." A lieutenant bowed and said.

Ye Qingyun wiped his hand and stopped, he said, "Zhang Yi? Who is this? ”

"The Zhang family where this Zhang Yi is located is the largest family in Jinling City, and his daughter is the concubine of King Wei." At this time, a voice sounded, and Li San walked in from outside the tent.

"Zhang's family?" Ye Qing sneered: "They are really smart enough. ”

"It's not surprising, even a fool can see that Wei Di is gone, and now it's better not to vote for a new master." Li San said lightly that when he was attacking the city, he went outside Jinling City, and now every time he captures a city, the secret guards must be stationed, on the one hand, for propaganda matters, and on the other hand, for the elimination of local wealthy families.

This kind of purge includes two aspects, one is to provide information to strangle and disagree with the wealthy family, and the other is to supervise and dissolve the tribe, hand over the family property, and completely become the common people.

In order to reduce the casualties of the soldiers and break the will of the Hao clan to resist, Xiao Ming did not adopt a policy of extermination.

It is precisely because of this policy that many wealthy families still have illusions, hoping to keep their foundation through meritorious service, and there have been similar examples in the war against the prefectures and counties near Pengzhou City.

"A new master? Hmph, it's better to kill them all. "After experiencing the events of Yangzhou City, Ye Qingyun now has an extreme hatred for the Hao family.

"This can't be, if His Highness hadn't allowed the Hao clan to surrender, you, the 30,000 people, would have been able to occupy Jinling City so easily? The massacre in Yangzhou is said to be revenge, but in fact, it is just for you to raise military rations, and the current Hao clan in Qingzhou is only the main culprit who has died, and everyone else has been relocated to various places to farm, and now they are also keeping to themselves. “

Ye Qingyun nodded, "Your Highness is still going to do this this time?"

"This is not true, His Royal Highness said that this time the wealthy families of Wei Land will be handed over to the local people for trial, and those who have committed the most heinous crimes will be beheaded, and those who are not guilty will be reduced to the common people, and their family property will be confiscated."

"Haha, worthy of Your Highness, this method is much worse than the wealthy clan of the feudal country, so that the wealthy clan of Wei Di can be regarded as disappearing."

Li San nodded, his duty this time is to establish the militia and production teams in various states and counties, and after Jinling City is stabilized, it will be the trial of the Hao clan, but before that, even the surrendered Hao clan will be temporarily detained.

The two gossiped for a while, and then Ye Qingyun motioned to the guards to let Zhang Yi in.

After a while, Zhang Yi, who was wearing a patched dress, walked in, and behind him was the embarrassed King Wei.

"I've seen the governor, Zhang Yite, the patriarch of the Zhang family in Jinling City, the grass people, dedicated the king of Wei to the governor." Zhang Yi said nervously.

Ye Qingyun glanced at Zhang Yi, this person was half a hundred years old, with gray hair, a somewhat thin figure, and a patched dress that looked like a beggar.

Li San and Ye Qingyun were a little surprised when they saw Zhang Yi's appearance.

Then the two looked at King Wei, Ye Qingyun had never seen King Wei, but Li San had seen King Wei, and then he said: "His Royal Highness King Wei, I knew why I had to do it today, if His Highness had promised to form an alliance at the beginning, I don't have to become a prisoner now." ”

"Bastard, this king is also a dog slave who can be bullied, even if this king is defeated, he is Xiao Ming's imperial uncle, and he has to be entertained with delicious food and drink when he arrives in Qingzhou City." King Wei scolded.

Then he turned to Zhang Yi again: "Wolf-hearted thing, you were greedy for your family's property and didn't escape in time, but caught this king to invite merit, and this king really hated not killing your whole family." ”

Zhang Yi's face was blue and white for a while, as the King of Wei said, after the Dengzhou army attacked Jinling City, he ordered his family to pack up the gold and silver, but when he was ready to leave, the Dengzhou army had fully occupied Jinling City.

Just when he was desperate, he found the King of Wei mixed in the crowd, it turned out that the King of Wei was finally ready to escape under the persuasion of the officials, but it was too late at this time, so a plan rose in his heart, which was to capture the King of Wei and atone for his crimes.

In the face of King Wei's scolding, Li San was unimpressed, and he said lightly: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi has always thought about the fact that His Royal Highness the King of Wei colluded with the wealthy clan in Qingzhou to murder him, and it depends on His Highness's creation when the time comes." ”

When King Wei heard this, his expression was extremely ugly.

Ye Qingyun said: "You ordered the soldiers to loot and slaughter, and more than 100,000 innocent people in Yangzhou City died tragically, how could Your Highness be able to bypass you, the faint king." ”

After that, he said to the soldiers in the account: "Hold Zhang Yi and the King of Wei in custody and wait for His Highness's orders." ”

"Yes." When the soldiers heard this, they immediately raised their bayonets and pointed them at Zhang Yi and King Wei.

Zhang Yi was shocked, and he shouted: "The governor must have made a mistake, even if the grass people captured the king of Wei, even if it was useless, there was no fault." ”

"Hmph, you are the patriarch of the Zhang family in Jinling City, and your daughter is the side concubine of King Wei, are you stupid? What's more, you betrayed your master, shameless. Ye Qingyun said angrily.

When Zhang Yi heard this, he suddenly felt like a mourner, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

The two were escorted down, and Li San said: "The general trend of Jinling City has been decided, and Xiao Han, the son of King Wei, is now trapped in Chuzhou, it is only a matter of time, and the remaining few state soldiers are not worth mentioning at all." ”

Ye Qingyun nodded, this battle of Jinling City can be said to be a decisive battle.
