"Sir, this is the newly discovered list of hidden imperial parties." Wei Zhuang said.
Jia Xu took the list from Wei Zhuang, and when he saw it, his pupils shrank suddenly, and then he sneered: "Dance, jump out one by one. The more you dance now, the more miserable your death will be."
"Sir, in five days at most, the Tang army will be approaching the city. In order to prevent the rebels in the city from causing chaos and getting out of control, should we first capture some of the people in important positions?" Ge Nie asked.
After Jia Xu thought for a while, he shook his head and said: "Hold on, there are still big fish that haven't jumped out. What I want is to catch all these people in one catch."
However, for the sake of caution, in the name of military control, we can first control all the imperialists who hold military power in the new army, or those who are suspected of being imperialists. We would rather kill a hundred by mistake than kill one.
."
"promise."
Kong Rong, Ma Rixi, Yang Jun and other imperialists were not fools. Of course they knew that they could not do anything without military power. However, the main force of the Qin army was also seen as having no chance to take action. They could only
Reach out into the weakest new army.
The New Army has just been established, and there are a large number of vacant positions of real power. If someone from the imperial party can get a high position, they can control part of the military power, and there will be no resistance in Luoyang.
Jia Xu naturally knew the thoughts of the Imperial Party very clearly, and if he wanted to crack it, he would just have to screen the middle and high-level people one by one, find out who is an Imperial Party member, and then remove them from their posts. The Imperial Party would naturally be eliminated.
the power of.
However, the composition of the new army is too mixed, and there are too many people who need to be screened. Even if Jin Yiwei works overtime, it cannot be completed in a short time, and now Jia Xu obviously does not have that much time.
Li Tang's army was about to approach the city, and the imperial party finally couldn't stand it any longer and began to frequently contact the generals of the new army.
They thought they were being cautious, but they didn't know that Jia Xu's hind legs had already known it as soon as their front legs touched each other.
Jia Xu had already discovered most of the Imperialists hiding in the march. In addition, Jia Xu had also discovered most of the Imperialists in the integrated army.
In order to control the military power, the imperialists did not hesitate to risk exposure and extend their hands into the new army. Naturally, it was impossible not to win over the local aristocratic families in Luoyang.
Therefore, Jia Xu could only guess without thinking that there must be a large number of imperialists among the integrated army of the family members.
The Qin Army's review of the new army is still very strict, so the imperial party can only control some high-level positions, but it has no control over the integrated army of 5,000 aristocratic families. You can only imagine to what extent it will be infiltrated by the imperial party.
It was precisely because he knew that many aristocratic families in Luoyang had turned to the imperial party that Jia Xu deliberately recruited all the soldiers of the aristocratic families. After all, it was better to keep them around and restrain them than to ignore them.
To deal with the imperialists in the new army, we only need to dismiss them and imprison them to ensure that the new army does not become chaotic. However, this method is obviously not suitable for dealing with the integrated army of aristocratic families. After all, the integrated army of aristocratic families is not owned by the Qin army.
The Qin army only had the power of command but no power of appointment or removal.
In addition, the composition of the family integrated army is too complicated, with people from all major families, and it is impossible to tell who is the enemy and who is the friend. Therefore, Jia Xu's purpose of gathering them from the beginning was to imprison and weaken them.
It’s just the strength of the imperial party.
"Sir, we can currently confirm that there are thirty-eight families who are interested in our Qin army and have nothing to do with the imperial party. As for the other twenty-six Jia Xu, they are more or less suspected of being in the imperial party. For a while,
It’s hard to find out.” Gai Niehui reported.
"No need to check clearly."
Jia Xu waved his hand and asked directly: "Just tell me, what percentage of the soldiers from clans suspected of being imperialists account for in the army?"
"this……"
After Gai Nie was silent for a while, he reached: "Nearly 60%."
What is the concept of 60%? In other words, in the integrated army of five thousand generations of family soldiers, nearly three thousand people may be members of the imperial party. This ratio is much more terrifying than that of the new army.
"Sixty percent?"
A solemn look flashed in Jia Xu's eyes. After a moment of reflection, he said: "Immediately divide the integrated army of the family into two. The three thousand troops suspected of being imperialists confiscated their weapons in the name of training and sent them to the new military camp."
Conduct training, and then send Qin Liang to lead a thousand main troops to strictly guard the new barracks.
The situation in Luoyang is so weird now that even I can't tell who is the rebel and who is the loyal minister, but what I can determine is that the rebels must be among these people.
Someone among these three thousand people will definitely make trouble or even attack the camp. Then one by one, they will all be killed. They are all traitors.
Of course, there must be many innocent people among these three thousand sergeants, but now we can’t care about so many, and we would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.”
After hearing Jia Xu's murderous words, Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang looked at each other and said in unison: "No."
"Sir, there is something unclear about this subordinate." Dugu Qiubai stood up and asked, cupping his fists.
"explain."
"Your Excellency has made so many arrangements, but they are all preemptive moves. According to the intelligence we currently have, we can take the initiative to catch all the rebels. Even if there are a few fish that slip through the net, it will not be of any benefit to the overall situation.
It doesn’t matter.”
Dugu Qiubai's words can be said to express the doubts in everyone's mind. Their leader Jia Xu is a passive defense person who does not attack. But now that he has taken control of the overall situation, all the measures are for prevention.
It's not eradication. This is not Jia Xu's style.
"Haha, I finally asked. I've been holding it in for so long, so I'm exhausted." Jia Xu asked with a smile.
"I don't dare to do that, please help me clarify my doubts."
Dugu Qiubai said lightly, even when facing Jia Xu, he was as cold as ever.
"As I said before, the reason why we have been delaying in closing the net is because we are afraid of alerting others."
A glint flashed in Jia Xu's eyes, and he sneered: "The bigger fish hasn't surfaced yet. Just wait. I have a hunch in my heart that he can't help it anymore."
Jia Xu had fought against the Imperial Party not once or twice. In his opinion, the Imperial Party was a group of rabble with no loyalty but no program and policy. It was not difficult for him to defeat such an opponent.
But this time the Imperial Party was completely different. The goal was clear, the execution was quick, and the timing was perfect. It was like rising from the ashes.
Therefore, Jia Xu can almost conclude that there must be an expert behind the scenes to advise the Imperial Party. Otherwise, the changes in the Imperial Party would never have been so great. Moreover, this expert is still hidden very deeply. Even Li Shimin, Kong Rong and others may not be able to see it.
Didn't know he existed.
This is a master.
Jia Xu secretly thought, not only did he not have any fear in his heart, but he also ignited a long-lost fighting spirit.
What's the point of slaughtering a bunch of lambs? Only dragon slaying can prove Jia Wenhe's ability.
