Chapter 58 Now that the old man is in business, it's up to the generals to get it.
Zhao Shu wants peace.
He just wanted to ensure that the letter was safe, but Zhao Kai and others were unwilling to meet these small conditions, forcing him to kill people.
News has been sent to Xindu Ling, and he has obtained all the information. Naturally, he knows that prices in Xindu have skyrocketed.
Especially food.
Due to wars and other reasons, all the food went into the hands of these aristocratic families, and land annexation in the city was serious.
This is also an important reason why Yan Ju surrendered. Now this trouble is left to Zhao Shu.
The problem of food for the people is a big problem. If this problem is not solved, Xindu cannot guarantee its stability.
When Zhao Shu received the news from the scout camp, he realized how serious the problem in Xindu City really was.
In a sense, this problem is no longer something he can solve. He must transfer food from Xianyang and send special officials to solve it.
It's just that now, he is responsible for guarding Xindu, and Xianyang can't count on him, so he has to come.
This is also the reason why Zhao Shu would rather give up the opportunity to win people's hearts in exchange for food from major aristocratic families.
It's a pity that the aristocratic families are greedy, forcing Zhao Shu to take the wrong approach.
"Let's go too!"
With a low shout, Zhao Shu led the short soldiers and walked out of the mansion. At this time, five hundred cavalry had already arrived outside the mansion.
After getting on his horse, Zhao Shu shouted loudly and said: "Zhao's Mansion, let's go!"
"promise."
Once the killing started, it could only end with death. Although the Zhao clan was prepared, they were almost one-sided when faced with the sharp warriors of Great Qin.
Half an hour later, Zhao Shu ended the battle. When Zhao's three hundred dead soldiers and five hundred guards were all killed or injured, everything was over.
Today, there are only corpses in the Zhao family's mansion, and apart from that, there is no living person.
"Short troops are stationed here. I will go to support Yasuo and others."
"promise."
An hour later, Zhao Shu joined forces with Yasuo and others to destroy each mansion, completely eradicating all the major families at a slight cost of fifteen casualties.
After getting the news, everyone rushed here in a hurry.
Zhao Shu's actions were too sudden, and Xindu Ling did not expect that he would first bloodbath the Xindu officials, and now he would also bloodbath the Xindu family.
"General, you..."
After glancing at the Xindu Order, Zhao Shu waved his hand to interrupt the other party's words, and directly ordered: "Immediately lead people to count the treasury in the mansions of the major aristocratic families, and send the food to the Xindu treasury, and the rest to the general.
There."
"At the same time, send people to count the land occupied by the major mansions."
"promise."
Seeing Zhao Shu being so domineering, Xindu Ling could not say much, so he nodded in agreement and quickly led his men over.
Returning to the shogunate, Zhao Shu frowned and didn't speak for a long time. He knew in his heart that the news that he had massacred various aristocratic families could not be sealed at all.
Once word spreads, the city will be in panic and everyone will be in arms, especially those people who have nothing, as well as local powerful and small families.
"The Sima of the Chinese Army jointly issued a letter to the capital to issue an announcement. Today's incident was caused by the rebellion of the major families. At the same time, it promoted the crimes committed by the major families in recent years."
"Send people to preach to the people, and redistribute the lands of the major families who intend to rebel to the landless people..."
"Strive to stabilize people's hearts as soon as possible, let everyone know the letter, and organize manpower to promote Qin's laws to ensure stability in the city."
…
Zhao Shu issued orders one after another, and the messengers kept running around. The small families and people who had just been noisy suddenly stopped.
They have all seen Zhao Shu's ruthlessness. Now the official announcement is only aimed at the rebel families, not other families, so as to calm the hearts of small families.
The matter of dividing the land calmed the hearts of the people.
This made Xindu, which had just begun to appear chaotic, regain its calm in an instant. Especially when Zhao Shu ordered the scouts to preach the sins of the major families, for a while, people's hearts gradually moved closer to the government.
…
Just when Zhao Shu was working hard in Xindu, a sudden change occurred in Handan City. The prime minister of Zhao State, Guo Kai, had an enmity with Lian Po, the Prime Minister of the State of Zhao, and the Handan garrison fell into the hands of Han Cang.
This put Handan in a precarious situation in an instant. Countless people with lofty ideals and passionate sentiments made the resistance against Guo Kai loud and clear in Handan City.
After receiving this news, Yang Duanhe couldn't help but be overjoyed. He knew in his heart that the opportunity Huanjue and others had been waiting for had arrived.
"Xin Sheng, is there any news from the scout camp? How is the situation in Xindu?" Yang Duanhe looked solemn. He was well aware of Xindu's troubles.
Otherwise, he would not have promoted Zhao Shu out of the ordinary, and the food problem would have overwhelmed Li Ji. Therefore, he left Zhao Shu in Xindu, leaving a hope.
Hearing this, Xin Sheng shook his head: "We have just arrived here, and there is no latest news from the scouts. General, you also know the news that came before."
In the shogunate, the two people looked a little solemn, and Yan Ju on the side also said: "In Xindu City, there are not only food problems, but also land annexation and problems of aristocratic families."
"Those big families have no less than thousands of dead soldiers and guards. Although Zhao's technique is not simple, the number of soldiers is too small."
Yan Ju had met Zhao Shu. He admired Zhao Shu, but he was not optimistic that Zhao Shu could solve the current problems in Xindu City.
After all, when he was in Xindu, he also tried to resolve this matter, but every time he failed to settle it.
Zhao Shu is not simple, but Zhao Shu has just taken over Xindu and has insufficient troops under his command, so it is difficult to solve this problem.
Yan Ju has also experienced the embarrassment of being stretched thin.
…
"Sir, Handan's edict cannot interfere with Li Mu at all!" Hearing his subordinate's words, he paused and nodded weakly.
Now that the situation in Zhao State is critical, Li Mu will never give up his military power easily, which means that his plan is only half successful.
In fact, Dunwei knew clearly what the problem was. Yang Duanhe's attack on Wu'an put him in an embarrassing situation.
Now that Yang Duanhe has once again conquered Xindu, the situation in Zhao has further deteriorated, and Li Mu will not give up easily.
He took a sip of wine, smiled weakly, and said: "The matter has come to this, and it can only be like this. Now that Handan's edict reaches Daijun, I'm afraid Li Mu will not obey it."
At this point, his tone changed in a weak tone, and he said to his subordinates: "The people who gave us the order have begun to hibernate. They must not be exposed without my order."
"Then those who were exposed, including those exposed this time, evacuated immediately."
"promise."
Dunruo knew in his heart that his plan was half successful, but now that he stayed in Handan, the risk was too great.
Even Guo Kai may not be able to save him. Just in case, they must evacuate immediately.
As soon as he thought about this, he looked towards the direction outside Handan City and said in a faint tone: "Now that I'm in trouble, it's up to the generals to decide what to do next."
