"Where is Sima Yi?" Yan Liang pressed his mind and asked loudly.*Literature Museum*
"Sima Yi blocked the road with his clothes and blocked Erchen's pursuit. Although Erchen intercepted and killed more than 10,000 enemy enemies, he asked Sima Yi to escape." Deng Ai looked a little ashamed.
Sima Yi, the kid, escaped.
Yan Liang was a little disappointed. He had originally expected that in today's battle, he could achieve his best in one battle, completely eradicate Sima Yi and end the chaos in the world, but he did not expect that at the last moment, he would run away from Sima Yi, the cunning wolf.
"However, my son captured Sima Yi's queen Zhang, as well as his two little boys Sima Shi and Sima Zhao." Deng Ai hurriedly reported the good news.
This good news really boosted Yan Liang's spirit.
So what if you Sima Yi ran away? Your wife and children got it for me. Don’t you want to run away? I will tell you to lose your son and grandson, and you will still run away.
Thinking of this, Yan Liang was immediately delighted and couldn't help laughing.
"Deng Ai made great contributions in this battle, and passed on my will to be granted the title of the Marquis of the Township." Yan Liang was happy and gave Deng Ai a great reward.
Deng Ai was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked the emperor for his kindness.
When Jinyang was captured, the heart of Jin State had fallen into Yan Liang's hands. Although Sima Yi had escaped, he was only like a bandit, and was not afraid at all.
Yan Liang then ordered the army to station in Jinyang, and did not rush to attack the north immediately, and allowed the soldiers who had worked hard for several months to rest and rest happily.
Jinyang is the heart of Sima Yi. The food and money accumulated in the treasury mansion are endless, but now it has all fallen into Yan Liang's collection.
The day after entering the city, Yan Liang took all the Jinyang treasury and rewarded the soldiers of the three armies.
As soon as the holy grace came out, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were happy and encouraged. Everyone was grateful to Yan Liang and praised Yan Liang clearly and rewarded him.
The second thing: Yan Liang ordered the home of the powerful tyrants in Jinyang City to be confiscated.
Sima Yi represented a powerful aristocratic family. There were so many famous aristocratic families gathered in his capital Jinyang. More than 100 people ordered to behead in the court that day by Yan Liang, who were just representatives of these famous aristocratic families.
Yan Liang's character has always been to eliminate the roots. Of course, he would not be satisfied with the heads of only one or two people for these families that were against him.
House search!
Yan Liang wanted to use the most thunderous means to uproot these aristocratic families entrenched in Jinyang, so that they would not have the chance to rise again.
The order was passed down, and there was another bloody storm in Jinyang City. For those aristocratic families who believed in their nobleness, Jinyang City at this time was like Shura Hell.
According to Yan Liang's will, all the male members of the aristocratic families and the rich families copied were sent to Liangzhou to build a road from Chang'an to Dunhuang and the Western Regions with the Qiang and Hu slaves.
Those female members of the aristocratic race selected those with outstanding appearance and rewarded the soldiers of the three armies, and those with medium-sized appearances were sent to prostitutes. The rest were also sent to Liangzhou to build roads.
Within a few days, nearly a hundred wealthy families of aristocratic families of all sizes in Jinyang City were confiscated and exterminated.
As for the money collected after the house was confiscated, it was hundreds of millions of dollars. The amount actually exceeded that of the imperial palace treasury left by Sima Yi.
Yan Liang had to admit that the State of Jin under Sima Yi was indeed a paradise for the wealthy families. In such a chaotic era, the assets of these powerful people could still increase and even increase in concentrations exceeded the level of peacetime. It can be seen that Sima Yi Under the indulgence and protection, these powerful men were so reckless and restrained to plunder the people.
Regarding these ill-gotten wealth, Yan Liang took out some relief to the victims, and of course the rest was taken to the treasury palace to enrich the treasury of Dachu.
Taiyuan County where Jinyang is located is a fertile land, and its land is the richest place in Bingzhou. Except for part of the land in Taiyuan County, most of the land is owned by those rich families and private property.
As for the local people, most of them became powerful tenants, and the number of self-cultivated farmers was very small.
Yan Liang confiscated the wealthy family property, naturally including tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land.
A few days later, Yan Liangsui issued an order to implement the equal land system in Bingzhou. According to the amount of Dingkou and the quality of the land, all the copied land was granted to local farmers.
Yan Liang's move was to include all the farmers in Bingzhou into the state's household registration and become self-cultivated farmers who pay grain to the state.
Throughout the dynasties, the more self-cultivated farmers, the more they symbolize the consolidation of imperial power, and the country is strong and powerful.
On the contrary, the fewer self-cultivated farmers are, the more it indicates that the imperial power is constantly weakened, local tyrants annexed land, privately acquiring slaves, and gradually expanding its power.
When the lost land becomes refugees and one should start the road of rebellion, those powerful powerful people will jump out and take advantage of the east wind of refugees' rebellion to take advantage of the opportunity to pick the peaches of the dynasty.
As a time traveler, Yan Liang, who is familiar with history, naturally could not allow the strength of the aristocratic tyrants to override the imperial power, threaten him, and even the rule of his descendants.
Therefore, Yan Liangcai had to implement the equal land system and cut off the path of expansion of the aristocratic race from the root.
When Yan Liang refreshed the harsh government of Jinyang in Jinyang, he wrote a detailed message back, and Sima Yi had fled from the Luliang Road to Yanmen County in northern Jin.
After a crushing defeat in the Jinyang battle, even if Sima Yi fled to Yanmen alive, he had only more than 3,000 remaining soldiers under his command.
If Han Meng from Dai County, Sima Lang's troops, and the county soldiers from the northern counties of Jin Dynasty, Sima Yi's remaining troops would not exceed 20,000.
For Yan Liang's army of 300,000, it was like hitting a stone with an egg.
Of course, Sima Yi knew he was defeated. After fleeing to Yanmen, he immediately sent people out of the frontier to ask Tuoba Liwei for help, hoping that these Hu chiefs could send troops to rescue him.
Unfortunately, Tuoba Liwei is now trapped in the civil strife of the Xianbei people and is completely exhausted.
Tuoba Liwei originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity that Ke Bi Neng was captured by the Chu army to annex the central Xianbei in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, Yan Liang's general Ke Bi Neng was released, and he used barbarians to control the barbarians in one move, which just disrupted Tuoba Liwei's entire plot.
deploy.
Although Ke Bineng cut off his arm, his Xiaozhong tribe also lost nearly 10,000 elite troops in Yangyi. Although he was unable to fight on horseback, his martial arts were still there, and the strength of the Xiaozhong tribe was not fatal.
Ke Bineng, who pretended to be broken, led his troops to stubbornly block the joint attack of the Xianbei tribes in the western region led by Tuoba Liwei, dragging the war on the grassland into a protracted situation.
Tuoba Li slightly destroyed the great trouble of Buke Bibineng, a confidant. How could he draw troops and horses to help Sima Yi, the down-and-out lord of Jin.
Sima Yi, who was entrenched in the remote county of Yanmen, was beheaded by his confidant Prime Minister Jia Kui, and his wife and children were captured by Yan Liang. He had no generals and no soldiers around him. The Xianbei people were reluctant to pacify the support. This ambitious person
The evil wolf is already in a dilemma of no way out.
Yan Liang rested in Jinyang for seven days. The army of 270,000 to 80,000 was ready to fight to the north of Jin and completely wipe out the remaining enemies.
Before advancing, Yan Liang issued a manifesto, listing Sima Yi's crimes. He called on the officials of the county in northern Jin to stop helping Zhou and Jie, and to offer Sima Yi's head to surrender to the Great Chu.
Otherwise, the army will be sent to the place where it passes, and the family will be destroyed without mercy.
Yan Liang's manifesto naturally achieved remarkable results. Now it is personal to see that no one can stop the Great Chu unified the world, and if you continue to resist stubbornly, there is only a dead end.
Although the powerful men of the aristocratic families in northern Shanxi knew that they were the target of Yan Liang's attack, once northern Shanxi fell, their interests would be severely hit.
But they also understand that the damage to interests is more important than the loss of life.
If you surrender to the Great Chu, your life can be preserved. If you resist stubbornly, you will lose both your people and your wealth and your family will be destroyed.
After weighing the pros and cons, the powerful men of the northern Jin Dynasty naturally made a choice soon.
So, before Yan Liang's army was launched, Yangqu, Langmeng, and Yunxian in the northern part of Taiyuan County changed their flags and flags and sent a surrender to Jinyang.
In fear, Xinxing counties in the north of Taiyuan County, including Jiuyuan, where the county seat is located, and almost half of Xinxing counties such as Dingxiang, Yunzhong, and Huyan all betrayed Sima Yi and offered a surrender to Yan Liang.
Yan Liang took no effort and just a single manifesto to incorporate half of Sima Yi's territory into the territory. This is the power of the general trend.
Anyone, except for the brainwashed foolish loyalist, will make wise choices in the face of an irreversible trend.
Although Sima Yi was known as the representative of the aristocratic clan, at this critical moment of destruction, those aristocratic clans naturally chose to betray Sima Yi without hesitation in order to protect themselves, and even refused to join the command of Yan Liang, the rival of the aristocratic clan.
This is the power of the general trend.
Before the battle, he lost half of the land. Sima Yi's spirit was hit hard again. In desperation, he had to order his brother Sima Lang to strictly control Dai County.
At the same time, Sima Yi sent troops to capture Pingcheng and guarded the pass that entered Yanmen to prevent the Yanmen counties from defecting to Yanliang.
Although Sima Yi took various measures, everything he did, in Yan Liang's opinion, was nothing more than a dying struggle.
Not long after the manifesto was issued, Yan Liang ordered the army to set sail and march towards Yanmen.
The vanguards Wen Chou, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Ren led several generals, and led 100,000 front troops. They rushed north and took Yanmen directly.
Yan Liang personally led more than 100,000 central troops to be sent to the next level. Before the troops were sent, Yan Liang also gave Sima Yi a gift.
In the Golden Palace, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao were escorted to the hall.
When the two Sima family kids were princes, they would always "kill" Yan Liang. Now, as prisoners under the ranks, they finally saw Yan Liang with their own eyes, but they were so scared that they were terrified and frightened.
Without Zhou Cang's scolding, Sima Shi pulled his younger brother and knelt in front of the hall. His butt was so high that he didn't dare to say anything.
Yan Liang looked down at the two unpromising guys and sneered: "Sima Yi's two little boys, I am very kind, and I will give you a chance to choose. Five horses are dismembered and cut into pieces. How can you die? You can choose it yourself. .”
As soon as the words came out, the two little boys were so scared that they were about to wet their pants. They kowtowed to Yan Liang repeatedly and begged for mercy.
A sarcastic sneer appeared on Yan Liang's mouth and gave a wink at Zhou Cang.
Zhou Cang then passed the order and ordered the soldiers to throw two ring-headed swords in front of the two brothers.
The two brothers were extremely frightened and looked at the knife on the ground, thinking that Yan Liang was going to take them to commit suicide.
"Don't worry, I won't let you commit suicide."
The two brothers breathed a sigh of relief, but their faces were confused, not knowing what Yan Liang meant.
At this time, Yan Liang said word by word in a cold tone: "Only one of you two, I only allow one to live. Take up the knife. Whoever has the best skills will be who will survive."
