Chapter 50 Threats to Blackmail

Two days later, when Liu Xie brought more than 4,500 soldiers to Xuanhan, the Han army flag was already planted on the head of Xuanhan City.

When Liu Xie arrived, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Deng Zhi and Luo Yuan put down what they were doing and ran outside the city gate to pick them up.

From a distance, Liu Xie rode Bu Jing up and laughed: "You haven't disappointed me, you've done a pretty job."

"Last generals, please see your Majesty, long live my emperor"

Looking at the four generals and military advisors who were kneeling on one knee or both, Liu Xie laughed and helped them up one by one, saying, "Get up, wait until you are armoured, you don't have to be so polite to Yide. I have not said that I have no mistake and Bo Miao helps you, so I will achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Zhang Fei smiled awkwardly and scratched his head. His silly look made people want to laugh.

"Let's go, tell me how you conquered the Xuanhan County Town? I heard that Wang Ju, the magistrate of Xuanhan County, wanted to resist stubbornly, didn't he?"

Zhang Fei slapped his chest with his big mouth and laughed: "Your Majesty doesn't know. Wang Ju said he wanted to resist stubbornly, but in fact he was afraid. After waiting for him for a long time, he couldn't help but abandon the city and escape. Fortunately, the military advisor had made arrangements and secretly ordered Luo Sima to set up ambush troops in the lower and upper reaches of the Bucao River. He easily took down all the Wang family and others... At the same time, in Xuanhan County, headed by the Luo family, several other prominent families joined forces to open the two cities in the north and south. My second brother and I took down Xuanshen City without any effort..."

When he arrived in Xuanhan County, Liu Xie sat on the main seat. He did not rush to meet the clan leader of the aristocratic family in Xuanhan County. Instead, he asked Lu Meng to give up his credit and record the merits of several important generals first. As for other soldiers and small schools, the master of their army would do it.

Seeing Liu Xie do this, the generals felt as if they were filled with honey. They were sweet from the inside to the outside. At least in this way, Liu Xie would not forget their contributions. At least it can be seen that this young emperor should be able to do his best and be punished if he fails.

After remembering his demerits, Liu Xie summoned the generals, including Lu Meng, Guan Ping, Zhou Cang, Luo Yuan, Xi You, Gong Zhi and others who followed him.

Liu Xie's eyes swept across everyone's faces. At this time, the generals, until their expressions of joy were restrained and waiting for his next words, said: "Generals, it's not the time for us to raise our glasses to celebrate. Although Pang Xi has solved it, there is still Zhao Wei."

After pausing, he said, "I decided to go straight to Quren, directly attack Zhao Wei's nest, and cut off his way out. What do you think? Bo Miao, tell me your opinion first." Liu Xie's eyes were directly on Deng Zhi

Among so many people, Guan Yu's strategy is not bad, but in terms of the overall situation, Deng Zhi is still more reliable. As for Lu Meng, he is still practicing hard. Now is not the time for him to perform. Guan Ping's situation is similar to Lu Meng.

Deng Zhi nodded and said, "Zhi also agreed to Your Majesty's move, Zhao Wei's attack on Jiangzhou, which can be said to have been out of full force. He had never expected that Your Majesty would take Pang Xi in just a few days. Therefore, he must have failed to return to Fangzhi at this time. He thought that after taking down Quren, we could divide the troops into two groups, go down Linjiang and enter Yufu. After taking down Yufu, we could strangle the vital points of Jingzhou's throat from the river to Shu... and Yufu needs a general who is good at fighting in the water."

"I have chosen someone who guards Yufu"

After discussing the details with the generals, Liu Xie retreated everyone, left Lu Meng and Guan Ping, and then summoned the Han Xuan family's famous family.

Looking at the middle-aged and elderly people kneeling on the ground, wearing silk and satin, eating fat and big ears, Liu Xie's was better than him, without a single smile

It was not until they were trembling and a little confused that Liu Xie let out and said, "Do you know? I really want to drag you out and chop you up one by one." Liu Xie's words made the six patriarchs tremble, because they knew that Liu Xie was not a joke. It can be seen from Liu Xie's killing in Hanchang that this young emperor was definitely a cruel and ruthless person.

However, since Liu Xie is willing to say it, it means that he shouldn't really cut them down. After a while, they gradually calmed down.

Sure enough, Liu Xie was frightened and said, "But I will wait for you once when you wait for the cliff to stop."

Hearing this, the patriarchs exclaimed secretly, it was okay, it was okay

However, before they could finish their fortunes, Liu Xie's words changed again, "However, death penalty is avoided, and it is hard to live for you, as Han people, they colluded with the rebels to seize my foundation. This is the crime of destroying the three tribes, which really disappointed me. In your heart, there is still this country or this nation?"

Although Liu Xie said it very noble, they could feel awkward when they heard it, in fact, Liu Xie knew that in their eyes, the country could not match their own family.

In this era, people may have a strong concept of loyalty to the emperor, but their patriotism is not as deep-rooted as in later generations. It can be said that people in this era have a very weak concept of the country.

Just like during the Warring States Period, people from different countries, who go to another country, can easily gain a high position as long as they have talent and knowledge, and they really devote themselves to other countries, and even help the enemy country after death, and deal with their own motherland. This kind of thing is not uncommon.

Therefore, everyone will feel that Liu Xie's words sound awkward in their eyes. In fact, there is only family, and the nation has never thought about it.

But since Liu Xie said that, they naturally have to show shame and even admit their mistakes, so as not to be too angry if Liu Xie wants to turn against them at this time, then they have no choice.

"Since you all realize your mistakes, then, it's great that I can spare you this time. However, as a compensation for the soldiers, I will give out 70% of the land in the clan. If you think you are wronged, you can bargain with me. However, please remember whether I am wronged. You know in your heart that you should not do anything that will hurt others and yourself. Then you will not be happy."

Liu Xie's naked threat made the patriarchs of the family look as if they were dead. He wanted to refute and wanted to bargain with Liu Xie, but when the words came to his mouth, it seemed as if something was blocking their throats, making them unable to speak, and they could only kneel there with a pale face.

"I know you are reluctant to let go, but this is a punishment for your rebellion. If it weren't for some credit for you, I wouldn't even leave 30% of the land for you." Liu Xie said, and as soon as he let go, several patriarchs lay down on the ground, "Okay, everyone will step down and hope that when you do things in the future, you will consider it clearly. Is this worth it? Today I have given you a chance, and I hope you can grasp it well."

After pausing, he said again: "By the way, at noon tomorrow, on the banks of the Bucaoshui River outside the city, the king's clan will behead him and show his head to the public. You can come and have a look."

Hearing this, the heads of the tribe trembled and responded to their orders.

Seeing the patriarchs leaving, Liu Xie smiled bitterly and said, "Ziyi, I am not incompatible with my identity when I am like this?"

Lu Meng and Guan Ping looked at each other and laughed. Guan Ping said, "Your Majesty, to be honest, Ping doesn't know whether this is in line with his identity, but in Ping's opinion, as long as it is beneficial to the people and as long as it is beneficial to the country, no matter how big or small it is, it is suitable."

"I hope they won't scold me for being a robber"

Lu Meng said with hatred: "They dare to go and chop them down."

Liu Xie pointed at him and scolded, "I told you to study more, why did you learn from Zhang Dahei's appearance?"

...

"The robber is simply a robber." Turning his back, several patriarchs started to scold.

"Head Luo, how can we save our lives under the ruthless young emperor this time? It's good to have a life under the ruthless young emperor."

"It is true that I was really worried that he would say, 'You can go with peace of mind, your tribe members will not touch them'"

"Ah, between two powerful men, what else can we say? Forget it, I plan to leave Bashu and move my family."

"Master Chen, you have thought about it. Once you leave, the remaining three layers of land will be gone."

"Or what else can I do?"

"When he acts in this way, he will be punished one day."
