Yes, Li Huaian thought well. The Northern Zhou clans, including the remaining empty shells of the Li clan in Zhaojun, were all abandoned.

To be precise, they were given up by Li Shen.

The combat effectiveness of regular troops and civilians is not on the same level, especially since the Great Jin Dynasty had just been unified for 30 years, and the current imperial guards have not yet become as weak as in the late dynasty.

It is undeniable that these Northern Zhou clans each had their own private soldiers, and together there were thousands of people, but they had to take women and children who were not able to fight back, and they did not set up their camps in advance and were completely dispersed by a volley.

It collapses at once.

After several rounds of arrow rain, more than 20,000 Northern Zhou clan teams completely collapsed. These people fled while stepping on each other. In just one or two hours, half of the personnel were directly reduced.

It was completely dark.

The semi-encircled imperial guards surrounded these remaining Northern Zhou tribes.

The young master Ye Mao walked on the battlefield with Zhao Jia. He saw corpses everywhere, and the deaths of tens of thousands of people made the smell of blood everywhere.

This young master from Duke Chen’s mansion has his eyes trembling.

He has killed more than one person.

As a son of the general in the capital and a top general, his elders would arrange for them to kill people and test their courage when they were young. Ye Mao killed the death row inmate at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and took his family to kill a nest of bandits at the age of sixteen or seventeen. He thought he was very brave and there was no problem at all on the battlefield.

However, when the bodies of tens of thousands of people were placed in front of him, the young master of Duke Chen's mansion was still disgusting.

He sat on the horse, was silent for a long time, and finally spoke slowly.

"No wonder Uncle Li said...my reputation will be very bad."

Ye Mao sighed long and said, "Even if these people are not Northern Zhou clans, they are just ordinary people, and they will not have a good reputation to lead troops to intercept these people who are not capable of fighting back."

Zhao Jia rode a horse behind Ye Mao, and lowered his head when he heard this, "Young Master is taking the blame for Your Majesty. If they annoyed Your Majesty, they should know what will happen today."

These Northern Zhou clans first led to the lie of disasters in various places, and then openly attacked the inner guards. They were already a rebellion, and they had their current consequences, which was also their own fault.

Ye Mao took a deep breath, looked at the Northern Zhou clan surrounded by the middle, and said, "Brother Zhao, Uncle Li said you are a smart person who can trust you. Uncle Li can trust you, so I can trust you. Now the damn people are dead, and I don't want to kill the rest again. Can Brother Zhao make them surrender?"

Zhao Jia was silent for a while, and finally said slowly: "If they surrender, they may not be able to survive."

"That can't die in my hands."

Ye Mao lowered his eyebrows and said, "Take them to the capital and let the officials and men in the capital go and kill them."

Zhao Jia smiled bitterly and said, "If you surrender, you will die. Why don't they die here?"

Ye Mao looked back at Zhao Jia, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "You go and tell them, just say I can make the decision. If they surrender, at least I can leave a root for each of them."

Zhao Jia looked up at Ye Mao.

"Have you thought about this?"

To kill all the people is to eliminate the roots. If His Majesty wants to kill people on a large scale, it will be impossible to leave a nest of enemies for himself.

Ye Mao patted his chest and said in a muffled voice: "I'm going to make the decision."

Zhao Jia sighed and lowered his head and said, "Let's go and prepare now. Please send some people to protect me, so as not to be anxious."

“This is nature.”

……………………

Time goes late at night.

After several rounds of attacks by the Imperial Guard, he suddenly stopped the offensive, giving these remnants of the Northern Zhou clan a chance to breathe. They spent two hours barely counting the casualties and sorting out the team.

Then several surviving big men from aristocratic families began to gather together to discuss countermeasures.

Among them, Yang Guo of Hongnong Yang escaped by chance because he was hiding in the carriage, but his right arm was scratched, and this time he was also meeting.

"We are all coaxed by Li Shidao!"

The head of the Hongnong Yang family looked sinister and said angrily: "I just asked about the situation of the Li family carefully. The Li family in Zhaojun only had an empty shell left in the north. The direct descendants were all taken to the southern border by Li Shidao early!"

"Why did he know that there would be such a day, but he didn't communicate with us?"

The head of the Cui family of Boling was seriously injured by an arrow and could not come. The head of the family was Cui Ling, the younger brother of the head, who was also a middle-aged man in his forties. He was also sitting in this temporary tent with a vicious face.

"This time, the cause and effect were all about the Li family in Zhao County threading needles. They colluded with Li Shen and tricked us."

A group of people woke up like a dream at this time and finally figured out the causes and consequences.

The Pingnan Marquis Mansion does not need them at all.

The Northern Zhou clans have been in decline for 30 years. Now all their strengths are added together and they are easily defeated by a Zhechong Mansion of the imperial guards of the imperial guards. Therefore, it is useless to ask them to be used by Li Shen. Their greatest function is to die here.

Just as a few people were gritting their teeth, a man with blood on his body ran in panic and then bowed with an ancient ritual: "Several uncles, there is a young man outside who wants to see you."

"who?"

Yang Guo's eyes were sharp.

The young man who came to report the news lowered his head and said, "That man said... he was from the court."

Yang Guo's expression changed. He looked at Cui Ling and others, and finally said in a stern voice: "Bring... invite him in."

The situation is stronger than people, so I have to see you.

After a stick of incense, a young man in a blue cotton coat lowered his head and crawled into this somewhat low temporary tent.

He raised his head, looked around, and then sighed quietly.

"Everyone, I am here to receive surrender."

Zhao Jia's words were very direct and hurtful. He did not even say that he was here to persuade him to surrender, but directly said that he was here to "accept surrender".

His next sentence hurts even more.

"My general doesn't want to kill anyone anymore."

Yang Guo's face looked ugly.

After a long time, he slowly let out a breath, stood up, bowed to Zhao Jia, "This envoy, our family are all the people of the Great Jin Dynasty. Why did the imperial court kill us directly for no reason?"

Zhao Jia's face was calm.

"You first lie to report the disaster. The inner guards came to investigate this matter. You do not repent and dare to kill the inner guards. Everything is a serious crime to the three tribes. You dare to say that you have no guilt."

Yang Guo, Cui Ling and others looked at each other, then gritted their teeth, and spoke in unison.

"That's all done by the Li family. We are all driven by the Li family's traitors!"

"You can keep these words in the capital and say them."

Zhao Jia showed a smile on his face.

"In a word, surrender or wait for death?"

An elder of the Lu family in Fanyang hesitated for a moment and looked up at Zhao Jia.

"May I ask, will we have a way out after surrender?"

"I have no idea."

Zhao Jia shook his head straightforwardly.

"I have to wait until I enter the capital, and see how your Majesty will stop him."

As he said that, Zhao Jia looked at the person and asked, "Which family are you from?"

"Fanyang Lu's."

A sympathetic expression appeared on the Zhao family's face.

"I don't know about other people's families, but most of your families won't be able to survive."
