Yingchuan is not far from Luoyang City, and it only takes a few days to get there.
If it weren't for Xun who was riding in a carriage, he could have arrived even faster.
With all the places so close to the capital being carved up by aristocratic families, it would be strange for the Han Dynasty not to perish.
When we found Cao Cao, his troops were besieged by a large number of servants of aristocratic families wearing armor and armed with soldiers.
Not only were these slaves well-equipped, but they were also arranged in orderly formations with drums, horns, and flags. At first glance, they looked like a well-organized army of the Han Dynasty.
Looking back at Cao Cao's place, under the chaos, it was like bandits descending from the mountain and being surrounded and suppressed.
Li Yunze was very happy to see it. Cao Mengde, who was sweeping the world, are you today?
Lu Bu led the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to attack in formation. After slowly accelerating, they pressed over like Mount Tai.
The army of servants of the noble family reacted quickly, with spears in front and swords and shields behind, and crossbowmen firing arrows. Everything was done by the regular army.
The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry is actually a light cavalry. If you charge directly into the formation, the losses will be too great, and you may not be able to get away. Therefore, Lu Bu led the cavalry to circle outside the military formation, disrupting its formation by throwing bows and arrows, and waiting for a flaw to appear.
Then he suddenly pounced forward and took a bite.
"Tsk tsk."
Li Yunze sighed with emotion, "No wonder the barbarians are rampant. The soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty have become servants and private armies of the noble families. They are really capable."
The private army of about 2,000 people in front of them is absolutely impossible to be privately raised slaves.
Privately raised slaves may be stronger in terms of bravery, but this kind of battle ability can only be found in the army.
He turned around and asked Xun Yu, who looked strange, "Whose family does this belong to?"
Xun Yu sighed, "Looking at the flag, it must belong to the Chen family."
Li Yunze asked again, "Do you know Chen Qun?"
Xun You over there said, "I know it. Chen Changwen has a talent for governing, quick thinking, and a pragmatic attitude..."
Li Yunze ignored him and continued to ask Xun Yu, "What is the origin of the Yingchuan Chen family?"
"The ancestor of Changwen is Chen Shi, the chief of Taiqiu, and his father is Chen Ji, the former Dahonglu."
"Oh, two generations can manage it to such an extent. Your family's rise is really fast."
Xun Yu was speechless. The imperial master in front of him was extremely hostile to the family members, which made him not know what to do.
If the person in front of me wants to be in the world, he will naturally need the help of the noble family.
But the problem is, they are cultivating immortals, they don't care about worldly things, and they don't need help from the family members, which is very embarrassing.
While talking, Lu Bu was still dealing with the private soldiers of the Chen family over there.
There is no doubt that there is something wrong with Lu Bu's character.
But there is no need to doubt his ability to fight.
Not only his personal bravery, but also his ability to command cavalry in field battles was unparalleled in the world.
But even so, facing the formation of two thousand infantry, Lu Bu could only go around and harass, constantly testing and looking for flaws.
The quality of the Chen family's private soldiers is really very high.
When cavalry attacks infantry on the march, or chases down fleeing infantry, it is as powerful as cheating. It is no exaggeration to say that it is cutting grass and harvesting wheat.
But when they formed a formation and set up a spear array, and dared to fight to the death without moving their feet, it was the cavalry's turn.
Of course, it is possible to charge, but the biggest result is that both sides are almost killed together, and the cavalry even suffers greater losses.
Lu Bu only had these funds, but he was reluctant to use them to charge into battle.
At the same time, I was yelling at the family members in my heart, 'Where did your family get so many powerful soldiers?'
The strength of an aristocratic family is not just about having connections, wealth, and food.
It is almost an independent kingdom with its own armed forces.
For example, when Liu Bei invested in the Mi family in Xuzhou, he gave him 8,000 slaves in one breath, all of which were soldiers.
When Chen Qun, Xun Yu and others went to Cao Cao, they all took money, food, soldiers and horses with them.
If he hadn't invested so much money, why would Cao Mengde share wealth with you?
It’s not like the Lao Cao family and the Xiahou family are empty!
At this time, if Cao Cao's soldiers and horses stepped forward to help, and the infantry and cavalry cooperated in the siege, the Chen family's private soldiers would be defeated.
It's a pity that Lao Cao's troops were defeated before, but they didn't collapse until the reinforcements arrived. Now they are busy cleaning up, and it is difficult to contribute in the hurry.
Li Yunze saw the situation on the battlefield very clearly. After all, he was a hexagonal warrior with extremely rich war experience.
He knew that as long as he gave Cao Cao some time and waited until he packed up his troops and stepped forward to cooperate, the battle would be won.
But he looked up at the sky, then turned back to look at Xun's uncle and nephew. Li Yunze waved his hand very simply and opened the space-time door.
When he drove the armored vehicle out of the warehouse, Xun's uncle and nephew's eyes almost popped out.
Seeing the armored vehicles roaring towards the Chen family's private soldiers, Xun Yu murmured, "The art of the immortal family, the art of the immortal family!"
"I finally know why there is no grain transport convoy."
Xun You sighed repeatedly, "With the help of such immortals, all the families in the world will suffer..."
The infantry and spear formation that left Lu Bu scratching his head quickly collapsed when it encountered the impact of armored vehicles.
Swords and spears are invulnerable, bows and crossbows are invulnerable.
The armored vehicles, which were not able to break through the defense at all, rushed into the military formation and crushed them back and forth. No matter how strong the military formation was, they could not withstand it.
Once the infantry formation collapsed, Lu Bu's cavalry began to perform its highlight moments.
They continued to attack and kill, chasing down the defeated troops. They were clearly superior to the previous harassment and entanglement.
Cao Cao didn't care about arranging his troops here, and hurriedly went to the front to beat Taiping Fist.
The core armed force of the Chen family collapsed and was destroyed in a very short period of time.
At least seven to eight hundred people were killed in the formation, and the rest were all captured.
In such a flat environment, with the Bingzhou cavalry led by Lu Bu chasing him, there was no way he could escape.
In front of Cao Cao's military formation, Li Yunze jumped out of the armored vehicle and strode over.
"Mr. Zihou~~~"
Cao Mengde, who was wiping away tears, stepped forward quickly and said with choked sobs, "Without the help of Mr. Cao, Mr. Cao would have died without a burial place today..."
Li Yunze smiled and called to the Xun family's uncle and nephew who came over, "Do you know them? Xun family's Xun Yu, Xun You."
Cao Cao's heart suddenly tightened. Could it be that the secret notification he sent someone had been exposed?
Li Yunze really doesn't know.
After all, if you don't tell me about this, I won't tell you. Li Yunze didn't arrange a listening device or anything around Cao Cao, so naturally he wouldn't really deduce that Tiandao knew about this.
What Li Yunze said was another matter.
"The Xun family wants to surrender, and I'm going to give them a chance."
The word "surrender" made Uncle and Nephew Xunyu's expression slightly move, but he did not say a word.
It's already this time, there's no point in saying anything.
The Xun family had more than a thousand armed slaves. When the tenant serfs in the family mobilized, they could even pull out an army of seven to eight thousand people.
But what's the point?
Once the steel mechanism beast rushes over, what will happen to 70,000 to 80,000 people? It will not collapse immediately.
Naturally, Cao Cao only knew the name of Xun's Eight Dragons.
Hearing this, his heart moved slightly, and he bowed his hands and said, "May I ask, sir, how should we arrange the Xun family?"
"All the servants and soldiers in the house are released."
"The family fields, whether public or private, or hidden fields, are all divided equally among the slaves and private soldiers. Each family of the Xun family can be allocated thirty acres of land."
"Half of the family's property, food and grass will be distributed to the slaves and private soldiers to compensate them for their losses over the years."
"Each house in the house must be divided into separate households. Anyone with more than six people in a household will be punished for treason."
"at home......"
"..."
As he continued talking one by one, Xunyu, Xunyou, uncle and nephew looked miserable and were about to collapse.
If we really do this, there will be no Xun family in the future.
Li Yunze hadn't finished what he said: "In the local area, everyone from the county magistrate to the tax collector has been removed. Each village elects its own village head, the people in the county select the county magistrate and government officials at all levels, and the people in the county select the county magistrate and officials.
..."
The local government offices in the last years of the dynasty were really rotten to the point of incomprehensible stench.
Even if you replace them all, the new ones will still be the same.
Li Yunze simply asked for self-selection, and at the same time, he had a term of office and could be recalled by the people.
This is tantamount to putting all power into the hands of the people.
Although this method also has some shortcomings, it is hundreds of times better than the rotten imperial government!
Cao Cao and others were dumbfounded by these words.
If that's the case, what are they fighting for?
Moreover, the imperial court has lost its personnel power and cannot collect taxes. Who will support so many officials?
What does the emperor eat?
Because the topic was so shocking, everyone didn't know what to say for a moment.
In the silence, Lu Bu came over with the prisoners.
"National Division."
Lu Bu got off his horse, dragged one person to the ground and said, "This person is the leader of the bandits, his name is Chen Qun."
Looking at Chen Qun who looked embarrassed but still showed off his scholarly demeanor, even Li Yunze wanted to praise him, "He is indeed a famous official."
Without giving Chen Qun a chance to speak, Li Yunze turned to look at Cao Cao, "When I was deducing the secret, I learned that the Cao family was defeated and everyone in the family was slaughtered. Chen Qun accounted for 50% of the cause and effect."
The nine-level Zhongzheng system introduced by Chen Qun was an important source of the troubles caused by aristocratic families in the four hundred years before the emergence of the imperial examination in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
All official positions in the world are completely controlled by powerful families because of this method.
You recommend me, I recommend you, and together we can control everything and enslave the people.
Members of the aristocratic family lived a life of prosperity and wealth, even if they took refuge with the Hus, changed their names to Hus and mixed in with the blood of the Hus, it didn't matter, as long as they had prosperity and wealth.
But what about the people of the world?
There will never be a day to come forward!
Not only that, he was treated like a sheep by the barbarians, and treated like a slave by the noble families. He even lived just to suffer.
Although Li Qun and Zhang Qun appeared without Chen Qun, but since he exists, he must be destroyed!
A fierce look flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, and he walked towards Chen Qun with his sword in hand.
"Wait a minute."
Li Yunze called Cao Cao, and with his doubtful eyes, he said slowly, "Wouldn't it be an advantage to him to end it with one sword like this?"
He turned to Xia Houyuan, who was watching the excitement, and asked, "Is there any mercury in the army?"
Xia Houyuan was stunned by the question and scratched his head, "I don't know, maybe there is."
"Bring me the mercury."
Li Yunze gave the order directly, and then told Cao Cao to "wait for the mercury to be brought and fill it with straw for him!"
