Li Mu never responded to these accusations from beginning to end. In the past few days, he has been doing two things, namely, scattering money and killing people.

On the one hand, he asked Li Chongyi to lead people to clear out the miscellaneous fish that had been caught and killed without mercy. On the other hand, he asked Li Siwen to lead people to start scouting the house. Li Siwen had the experience of "tomb robbing". In the skill of finding treasure, he was like a dwarf with the talent of "treasure hunting". No matter where these powerful people hid gold, silver and treasures, he could read them. No matter what treasury mechanism was, there was no way to hide in front of him.

Li Mu did not intercept a penny of the treasure he found. He divided the treasure into three parts, and 30% of it was returned to Dingxiang for development, 30% of it was returned to the national treasury, and packed it to be transported back to Chang'an, and 30% was given to the people of Gaochang, while the remaining 10% was used to reward the three armies.

Gaochang has been established for hundreds of years, and the treasury stock is really not small. The powerful and powerful have exploited the people for generations, and everyone has a lot of money. This time, the "family search" was a lot of money. The 30% transported back to the Tang Dynasty alone amounted to 500,000 coins.

This money is not only enough to support the cost of this war, but also has surplus. Thanks to Li Mu's decision, if Gaochang's national destiny and the powerful people were left behind, there would be no such fortune.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Mu decided to kill, but he would never admit it. A good woman is hard to cook without rice, so what kind of war does she have no money? Gao Chang was like a pig on a chopping board. When Ju Zhisheng found Li Mu, its demise was sooner or later.

This battle destroyed Gaochang, and the Tang Dynasty captured the entire territory of Gaochang, three counties, five counties, and twenty-two cities of all sizes. It had 8,000 households, a population of 40,000, and a horse of 5,000, covering an area of ​​800 miles from east to west and 500 miles from north to south. When Li Mu got this data, he had only one idea in his mind. Gaochang was really too small, just like eating meat, opening his mouth and biting it, only enough to stuff a gap between the teeth.

Li Mu roughly calculated that half of the more than 40,000 people in Gaochang were mostly in Gaochang City. In other words, the other 21 cities of all sizes, and there were not even 20,000 people in total. Can this be called a city?

But no matter what, this is also a contribution to expanding territory. Li Mu found several teachers and asked them to draft a gorgeous memorial for his contribution, ignoring all the things that happened at first, and described himself as an invincible general who came from the sky with no effort. He was like a marshal of Tianpeng, with 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, and gave him a war letter, and Gao Chang took it.

The attitude of Gaochang's people was basically stabilized under the attack of Li Mu with one stick and sweet dates. Li Mu's attitude of killing people and giving money was already very clear, and he responded to the saying, "Those who follow me will prosper, those who go against me will perish, and those who surrender to the people of the Tang Dynasty will eat and drink well and have money to take, don't surrender? It doesn't matter, you can leave, don't leave? It's very simple and crude.

At the same time, Li Mu also summoned envoys from many countries near Gaochang and announced Ju Zhisheng's crime of killing his father and seizing power, as well as the righteous act of sending troops to suppress the Tang Dynasty. Everyone knew this. Li Mu's words were completely nonsense. Not to mention that Ju Wentai was left with Ju Zhisheng, the son, and there was no need to kill his father and seizing power. Even if this is true, why do you do to kill someone's powerful family? I wish I could kill all the people with Gaochang's surname Ju. Everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart.

But no one dares to say it.

Some people have counted that Li Mu killed nearly 6,000 people in the past few days. You should know that there are only more than 40,000 people in the entire Gaochang area. In other words, one of the seven or eight Gaochang people was killed by Li Mu. This ratio is no different from the massacre.

Ju He hid among the crowd of ordinary people, and his anger had reached. He made a quick decision that day to escape to Tuyuhun, and returned halfway, pretending to be the common people and sneaking into the city. After observing for two days, he saw that the Tang Dynasty gradually stabilized the situation and those who did not want to stay were also given the expenses for severance, so he pretended to be one of them and received a severance fee.

He didn't want to take the money, but if he didn't take it, he wouldn't have a penny. His family had been confiscated, all the males in the clan died, and all the female relatives were rewarded as slaves to those who had made meritorious services. He had lost everything.

In this era, it was not easy for a soldier to find a wife, and making contributions on the battlefield was one of the easiest ways to get a wife.

However, they can't get it now. It was the first time that Li Mu saw this distribution method, and he thought it was quite reasonable.

This is done in this way. According to the size of the meritorious service, age and appearance can be selected first. However, people cannot be selected. For example, if a military man kills two enemy troops while siegeing the city, he can choose a slave who is around twenty years old and has a medium-sized appearance. There is a special person responsible for the evaluation of age and appearance. Those who want a wife will not be rewarded. After all, slaves are regarded as property.

The Junhan Association received a wooden sign that proved its qualification. After returning to Chang'an, he could exchange this wooden sign for female slaves that echoed the regulations on the wooden sign. He could also sell this quota and deal with it with him.

And these slaves had no choice but to accept it.

After Ju He and others received the severance payment, they were asked to leave Gaochang City before sunset. After receiving the money, those who joined the Tang Dynasty could receive a temporary cloth strip that proved their identity. The cloth strip had their names and identities written on it, but they could definitely be compared with the official booklets.

It’s okay if you don’t want to leave, just don’t be discovered. If you are discovered and you can’t come up with a strip of cloth to prove your identity, then you will be punished according to the detailed argument and will be killed without mercy.

With the only four people around him, Ju He was slow to leave the city before sunset. He looked back at the big hole that had not been blocked at the city gate, and his heart was filled with miserable feelings. He lost everything overnight, and the prince, his homeland, and his family, the blow was too big.

"Prime Minister, let's fight with him!"

Ju He smiled sadly and said, "What are you fighting for? The courage of every man!"

"What should we do then!"

Ju He turned around, looked at the east, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go to Chang'an!"

"Wouldn't that fall into the trap of your own??"

"No!" Ju He gritted his teeth and said, "There is no hope of restoring the country and no hope of revenge. I want the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to lose all his face in front of the people of the world. Only in this way can we use a knife to kill people, get rid of Li Mu, avenge the two former kings, and avenge our families!"

The four of them had no idea, and they all focused on Ju He. Seeing that Ju He had made a decision, they looked at each other and focused on the key points, saying, "I just want to avenge my family, everything depends on the Prime Minister's arrangement! Let's go!"
