Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2484 The Death of Li Shimin
Chapter 2480: The death of Li Shimin
Li Shimin's defeated army fled back to Chang'an by Ximen's.

Under Li Yuanba's forcible intervention, the massacre of the aristocratic family by the violent army in Xicheng was quickly stopped.

But it's too late to stop now.

It took two days for Li Shimin to lead the army out of the city for a decisive battle, but the Tang army in the city slaughtered the aristocratic families in the city for two days.

In these two days of killing power, the main members of the Xicheng family have been killed by the Tang army, leaving only a few old and young women and children.

Li Yuanba didn't want to contact the family members of those who died in vain. First, he didn't know how to face them; second, he didn't know how to arrange these people;

Li Yuanba saw that Ji Fa had also fled back, and he had heard from Li Shimin that Ji Fa, the son of Ji Chang, the prefect of Longxi, had outstanding abilities in both civil and martial arts, so he handed over the mess to Ji Chang, and he himself led the troops to Stop atrocities in three other suburbs.

I don't know if I don't go, I will be shocked when I go.

The situation in Xicheng District has been considered good, but the worst is in Nancheng District. All aristocratic families, men, women and children, were all slaughtered by Li Tang's tyrants.

After the Tang army in Xicheng killed all the aristocratic families, they did not stop killing. Instead, they aimed their butcher knives at wealthy households and businessmen, and started a new round of massacres.

Seeing this, Li Longji, who was in charge of suppressing the rebellion in Nancheng, and the rest of the Tang army who stayed behind, also realized that the situation was getting out of control. After all, rich households and businessmen belonged to the common people in essence.

The aristocratic family launched a rebellion, so they killed the aristocratic family.

But the people have not rebelled, so how can they lightly start killing?
Many generals, headed by Li Longji, stood up rationally to stop them, but the soldiers under them were so jealous that they didn't listen to their orders at all.

Seeing this, several generals decided to enforce the order, but they were killed by their out-of-control soldiers.

Since then, the situation in Xicheng has been completely out of control, and it has been ravaged by the violent army and turned into a purgatory on earth, with blood flowing like rivers.

When Li Yuanba saw Li Longji, he went straight up and picked up his collar, and roared, "Li Longji, what are you doing for food? You are a soldier, and you can't even control your own army."

Li Longji's expression was disastrous. He really wanted to say that he didn't want to be a military general, but rather a literati, but his current status was, after all, a general of the Tang Dynasty.

"Cousin Yuanba, it's my cousin who is incompetent, the soldiers are jealous, Longji really can't control it."

Li Longji decisively chose to admit his mistake, because if he refused to admit his mistake, it might anger Li Yuanba, and the other party might accidentally pinch him to death, and even his death would be in vain.

Seeing this, Li Yuanba was also dumbfounded. Li Longji admitted that he was wrong, and also admitted that he was not capable enough, so he couldn't really kill him.

"After the second brother wakes up, go and plead guilty."

Although Li Yuanba wished to kill Li Longji, he let him go after all, and then led people to stop the atrocities in Nancheng District.

Soon afterward, the rioters in Dongcheng District and Beicheng District were also suppressed successively by Wei Hu and his disciples.

Afterwards, according to statistics, the rioters of Li and Tang were executed recently, which stopped the riot, and the total number of deaths in this riot reached [-].

After half a day.

"Second brother, second brother..."

Amid Li Yuanba's concerned shouts, Li Shimin slowly opened his eyes.

"Yuanba, the second brother had a nightmare. We dreamed that we were fighting Wang Jian to the death at the Haojing ruins, and you and Yu Wencheng were facing each other. It's just that in the dream, the second brother lost, and it was a disastrous defeat. Know if you won or not."

This was the first sentence Li Shimin said after waking up. Obviously he couldn't accept what had happened, so he wanted to use the dream to excuse and anesthetize himself.

What can Li Yuanba do about this?After a moment of silence, he said, "Second brother, that wasn't a dream, it was Yuanba who was useless and failed to defeat Yuwen Chengdu."

When Li Shimin heard this, he no longer had any luck in his heart, and wailed in pain.

"Ah... Wang Jian, Wang Jian, I, Li Shimin, will kill you."

After scolding Wang Jian severely, Li Shimin had no choice but to accept the fact that he was defeated, and immediately said: "Tell me, how many troops were lost in the battle of Haojing, and tell the truth, I can withstand it."

The generals below looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally Yu Wentai stood up and reported:

"My lord, in the battle of Haojing, our army was defeated. Of the [-] troops, only [-] fled back to Chang'an, and lost [-] cavalry troops, including [-] infantry and [-] cavalry. .”

Li Shimin's face turned even paler when he heard this.

He guessed that the loss of this fiasco would be not small, but he didn't expect it to be so big, and this was obviously not the whole story.

"What about the general's loss?" Li Shimin asked tremblingly.

"Changsun Wuji, Xu Rong, Ma Shanwei, Xin Wenli, Kang Anyu...and more than 70 generals failed to return to Chang'an."

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't bear the blow any longer, spat out a mouthful of old blood with a 'poof' sound, then passed out, and only woke up after two hours.

After waking up again, Li Shimin also became weaker. He kept telling himself, don't think about the loss of Hao Jing, it has become a thing of the past, but the chaos in Chang'an still needs him to solve it.

Li Shimin was very puzzled, he had already arranged everything before he left, why did this situation turn out like this now?
For Li Shimin, the most urgent task is to find out what happened in Chang'an after he left. Tang Jun, who has always been strict in military discipline, slaughtered his family frantically for the sake of meeting?Even shot at civilians?
Li Shimin asked about Li Yuanba beside him, but Li Yuanba was stupid, and he faltered for a long time, but still couldn't explain clearly.

This is not to blame for Li Yuanba, although his intelligence has recovered, but after all, it is only above the level of ordinary people.

As for the game between the various forces in Chang'an City, the situation is so complicated that even a first-rate strategist can't clear his mind, let alone Li Yuanba.

Li Shimin saw that Li Yuanba couldn't tell the reason, and the other generals estimated that the situation was not too bad, so he recruited Li Chunfeng, Li Kui, and Li Si to question, but only Li Chunfeng and Li Si came.

"Where's Li Kui?" Li Shimin asked puzzled.

Before Li Chunfeng could speak, Li Si hurriedly replied: "My lord, Li Kui's father-in-law was also bought by Tyranny Qin, and became one of the rebellious families, and was suppressed and wiped out by our army.

Mrs. Li, who was pregnant, died of an accidental miscarriage after hearing the news. Mrs. Li Kui couldn't bear the blow and fell ill. "

Hearing this, Li Chunfeng frowned slightly.

Li Si's words were tantamount to directly labeling Li Kui's father-in-law's family, who were suspected of being traitors, as traitors.

But Li Chunfeng didn't say much in the end. After all, everyone is dead, so what's the point of talking about it?
Too many things happened in the past two days, and Li Chunfeng was exhausted physically and mentally. Now he just wanted to make a deal with Li Shimin as soon as possible, and he never wanted to touch this dirty politics again.

Li Shimin's expression changed instantly when he heard this, and he asked in a concentrated voice: "You two, tell me everything that happened in Chang'an after I left."

"No." The two responded in unison.

In the next two hours, Li Si and Li Chunfeng told Li Shimin all about the Chang'an family, colluding with the secret agents of the Qin army to launch the rebellion, and the Tang army's suppression of the rebellion.

Li Si was mainly talking, and Li Chunfeng made supplementary explanations.

What Li Si said was naturally processed and deleted.

Li Si exaggerated the scale of the family's rebellion and the danger of the situation at that time, so he had to obey Li Shimin's order of "rather kill the wrong than let go", but he didn't expect the army to completely lose control after killing red eyes.

Li Si completely ignored his own responsibilities, and blamed the rebel family, the lurking Qin army spies, Li Longji and other generals who could not restrain the army, and Li Kui who had been hesitant.

As for those families who were wronged and their families were exterminated, it was the price they had to pay to quell the rebellion.

After paying an extremely painful price, the long-planned rebellion planned by Daqin and the hidden dangers hidden in the city were finally eliminated by Tang Jun.

If Li Kui was there, he would definitely be able to see it at a glance, but he was sick in bed and couldn't expose Li Si.

As for Li Chunfeng, his intelligence attribute is not low, but his political attribute is not high. He can't see the loopholes in Li Si's words at all, but thinks Li Si's words are fine.

Li Shimin's political attribute is as high as 103 points, and it stands to reason that he shouldn't be deceived, but the information he understands is one-sided and limited after all, and the two confidants have the same caliber. Most of the letter.

It has to be said that Li Kui's downfall greatly facilitated Li Si's actions. After all, even Li Shimin was played around by him because of poor information. This was something Li Si didn't even dare to think about before.

Seeing that Li Shimin had no doubts, Li Si was secretly relieved.

After Li Shimin listened, his expression was extremely ugly.

Although he let Li Chunfeng face the rebellion, he would rather kill the wrong than let him go, but he didn't expect to kill so many people this time.

In Li Shimin's view, even if the secret operations of the Qin army hidden in the city were really in collusion with the family and the rebel generals to cause a rebellion, it would be overwhelming to involve tens of thousands of people at most.

Among the forces that are still standing up to now, except for Li Tang, which one has not distributed wealth to the family?

Compared with the monarchs such as Ying Hao and Cao Cao, who can't just copy the family and exterminate the family, Li Shimin's attitude towards the family is already the best, but when he reformed, the Guanzhong family still made trouble, and tried every means to obstruct his new sign.

In the past two years, the reason why Li Tang's development has been so slow is that apart from Daqin's intervention, there are also factors hindering him from the local aristocratic family.

But even so, Li Shimin still didn't attack the Kansai family. It's not that he didn't want to, but the Kansai family was too powerful.
Li Shimin asked himself that he was good enough for the family in Guanzhong, and there was no other monarch in the world who had a more gentle attitude towards the family than him, but he didn't expect that Li Tang hadn't been completely defeated, and these families would not hesitate. Betrayed him.

After Li Shimin understood the cause and effect, he finally understood why the defenders of Chang'an City slaughtered all the families in the city.

It is because there are too many families participating in the rebellion, and the scale is too large, and the Kansai among the major families in Kansai is extremely complicated. Even Li Si and Li Kui can't tell who is traitor and who is loyal, and they don't have time to distinguish one by one, but However, the rebellion intensified, so he could only kill the wrong ones rather than let them go.

In the city of Chang'an, if Kansai is concentrated, it will become a wealthy family, and [-]% of the Chang'an defenders will be slaughtered at one time. In addition to the wealthy businessmen and ordinary people affected, a total of nearly [-] people will die in this rebellion.

You know, the total population of Chang'an City is only 70.

Within two days, one-seventh of Chang'an's population was killed by the Chang'an defenders themselves, and he was clearly outside the city dozens of miles away, but he didn't know anything about it.

In this regard, Li Shimin only felt dizzy for a while, and almost vomited blood again without being angry, and felt a headache about the situation in Chang'an, and... despair.

Although the atrocities in Chang'an City are now over, there is still a lot of mess left to deal with.

How should the families of the unjustly killed family members and civilians be accommodated so that they do not cause turmoil?
After the resettlement is done, do you want to rehabilitate the families who were wronged and exterminated?

If it is rehabilitated, how should the money and food obtained from the confiscation of the family be distributed? Should it be returned to the original family?
How much should I pay back?

and many more.

Each of these things is not a trivial matter. If they are combined together, even Li Shimin, who is politically 102, will feel at a loss for a while, let alone Tang Jun just suffered a disastrous defeat in Haojing, and Qin Jun is about to attack the city.

Of course, this is not the most troublesome thing for Li Shimin. The Hongnong Yang family is the one that really troubles him the most. They are also among the families who were exterminated this time, and there is a high probability that they were wronged.

At present, there are only two families with the honor of four generations and three princes, the Runan Yuan family and the Hongnong Yang family.

Before the Yellow Turban Uprising, Longxi, where Li Shimin lived, was not worthy of carrying shoes for the Yang family.

But the Yang family did not support Yang Guang, who was born in his own family. Instead, they chose to support Li Shimin, and they were of great help to Li Shimin.

Yang Jian, Yang Xiu, and even Yang Biao himself all held high positions in Tang State and contributed a lot to Li Tang.

The Yang family paid so much for Li Tang, but what happened in the end?It was actually wiped out by Tang Jun.

The death of Yang Xiu, the son of Yang Biao, is unknown.

Yang Jian's brother-in-law Liu Yanchang was killed in front of his wife and children.

Except for Yang Biao and Yang Chan's mother and son, the Yang family had no survivors who were killed.

What Yang Jian valued most was his family, his family and his younger sister. If he knew the news that the Yang family was exterminated and his brother-in-law died tragically, how would he face Li Tang?Will he directly betray Tang and vote for Qin?

Li Shimin didn't know, and he didn't dare to think about it. At this time, he had nothing to love, because his future was already dark, and there was no hope at all.

In the near future, the whole world will know that Tang Jun committed atrocities in Chang'an, and he, Li Shimin, will surely follow in the footsteps of his father-in-law Dong Zhuo, and will be cast aside by everyone in the world and will be left with a bad reputation for thousands of years.
