Shuhan

Late at night, Maoling Qin's Wubao was shrouded in silence and mystery.

The moonlight shines on the ancient fortress wall, reflecting mottled shadows.

In the Wubao, little lights shine through the window lattice, emitting a warm and faint light.

These lights are like the eyes of a night watchman, silently watching the surrounding activities.

Occasionally, a few dog barks were heard in the distance, and they were quickly drowned in the deep night.

The roads inside the fort are paved with bluestone slabs. The ancient trees on both sides are towering, their branches and leaves swaying in the moonlight, as if whispering.

Because five hundred troops were deployed to support Cao Zhen, there were no people patrolling at night in Wubao.

The only watchman is the one who knocks bamboo clappers and gongs. He knocks on the gong while walking at night, making "duk duk - bang bang".

"The sky is dry and everything is dry, be careful about the fire."

"Boom—boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"The sky is dry and everything is dry, be careful about the fire."

The third update has arrived.

It was dark outside Maoling Qin's Wubao, with only scattered lights flickering in the distance.

However, this peaceful night is about to be broken.

Liu Feng led the elite Han army and had secretly approached Wubao.

The dead soldiers took the lead in taking action. They were dressed in night clothes and moved swiftly and stealthily, like a group of ghosts walking through the night.

At this moment, these first climbers climbed up the city wall with the help of hook locks.

Under the moonlight, their figures moved quickly on the city wall, like agile leopards.

Before the night watchmen in the fort could react, they were quickly subdued by the dead soldiers.

Either cover the mouth and cut the throat, or directly twist the neck, or cut off the head with a knife.
Those who can be the first to die are all elites in the army, and their methods are extremely cruel and ruthless. The whole process is silent, as if everything is under control.

Immediately afterwards, the dead soldiers jumped off the city wall and quickly opened the gate of Wubao.

Upon seeing this, the Han troops outside the fort immediately poured into Wubao like a tide and were extremely active.

Break into the dock and vent the animal desires hidden deep in your heart.

Naturally, everyone was enthusiastic.

As for entering the city in autumn, there is no crime?

That is simply impossible.

If you don’t plunder or loot, are you still a soldier?

"Come on~"

"Kill!"

The sounds of footsteps, shouts, and the clash of weapons intertwined together, breaking the tranquility of the night.

The Qin clan members in Wubao were stunned by the sudden attack, and they fled in panic.

"The bandits have entered the fort."

"Run away!"

"It's the Han army, it's the Han army that's attacking."

In the center of the fortress wall, in the Qin clan's ancestral hall, Qin Xiu's face was already pale.

Han army
Why are the Han troops here?

How dare he?

Isn't he afraid that all the Guanzhong gentry will rebel?
"Master, the horses are ready, run away!"

Now, we can no longer think too much.

escape!
Get out quickly!
Join Cao Zhen and flee to Longxi!

My father is now in Luoyang, and the wealth of the Maoling Qin family is still there!
As long as people live!

Qin Xiu immediately left the ancestral hall, mounted his war horse, and fled towards the outside of the fort.

However, the Han army had laid a dragnet. No matter where they fled, they could not escape the fate of being hunted.

Liu Feng, wearing armor and holding a long sword, rushed to the front.

His eyes were firm and cold, like a ferocious cheetah chasing its prey.

Whenever he encountered resistance, he swung his sword to attack. As soon as the sword light flashed, one person fell down.

puff~
It was the sound of swords entering flesh.

"Ah~"

"Spare my life~"

He turned a deaf ear to Qin's Wubao Zhuangwei's begging for mercy.

The soldiers of the Han army followed closely behind. They waved their swords, fired their guns, or shot arrows, and they fought fiercely with the Qin clan members.

The firelight illuminated their faces, and everyone's eyes were full of murderous intent. The battle lasted for a long time, and the Wubao was full of corpses and blood.

By daybreak, the civil strife in the city had ceased.

All members of the Qin clan were wiped out, and basically no one escaped.

The Zhuang and Wei tribes in the city were either killed or captured.

Liu Feng was covered in blood and said to the three elders behind him: "Last night the bandits attacked the fort and massacred the Qin clan members in the fort. This morning I repelled the bandits. Unfortunately, all the Qin clan members died. The head of the Qin clan in Maoling was dying. He took my hand in front of me and said that he would donate all the assets in the fort to the national treasury. His sincerity is admirable. "

When the three elders heard this, Liu Feng was speechless.

Aren't you the bandit?

And the Maoling Qin family donated all their wealth, you are a liar!

However.
Everyone knew that what Liu Feng told was a lie, but they didn't dare to expose it. Everyone knew the consequences of exposing it.

The third elder stepped forward bravely and said: "The general is righteous and saves the people from fire and water. All the assets in the fort can be taken."

"Qin's Wubao was renamed Huhamburg, and all the people in the city were registered with the same names. Chang'an will send officials to come in a few days. Half of the grain and grass in the fort will be shipped to Chang'an."

The gentry is the gentry.

The cost is much.

Just now, Liu Feng just sent someone to briefly count the amount of food, grass, money and silk, and what he got was already a surprise to Liu Feng.

There are more than 200,000 hu of grain and rice, more than 4,000 pieces of cloth, and tens of millions of money.

Counting the number of people in the city, there were four to five thousand.

This is just a small or medium-sized dock.

There are more than twenty similar Wubao in Guanzhong, and there are even a few big ones.

Most of the people in these forts are not listed.

If all these forts were knocked down, how would the Han Kingdom be without food and people?

but
It is not a good thing to catch fish while draining the lake.

Liu Chan still knew the difference between a full meal and a full meal.

In many aspects, he needs the support of the nobles. Today, when the imperial power does not go to the countryside, Liu Chan cannot give up the support of the nobles and the local powerful.

"Pull out a hundred livestock from the city, and I will reward the generals of the army."

If your hands are oily, you won’t eat for free!

No matter what, you can't let the sergeant feel cold, right?

"promise."

The three elders were frightened and immediately took the order.

The influence of the Maoling Qin clan in Guanzhong is not low. As the Maoling Qin clan was exterminated by the "mountain bandits", the rest of the noble clans in Guanzhong became frightened.

Those nobles who had been lingering, waiting for the situation to change, now quickly replaced their own children in the prisoner camp.

Give money to those who have money, food to those who have food, and others to those who have money.

Many nobles had to scrape together money and silk to replace others.

How is this to save one's own children?
This is clearly life money for the King of Hell.

Just buy some peace!
Suddenly, Chang'an's warehouse was filled with food, grass, cloth and silk, and the number of children from aristocratic families in the prisoner camp decreased one by one.

Even some aristocratic families with less capital could not raise the money and food to redeem their people by selling iron and steel, so they came to see Liu Chan with their female relatives, hoping to exchange their beauties for their children in the prison camp.

Liu Chan was not that kind of person, so of course he refused outright.

If you can’t take it out now, no problem, people can take it back.

I, Liu Chan, am a great philanthropist. If you can’t pay me the money and food now, we can pay you in installments!

What about ten-year installments?
The interest rate is 5.88%.

In the era of nine departures and thirteen returns, 5:88 was Liu Chan's extravagant mercy.

In fact, the noble leaders were also grateful.

bang bang bang~
Kowling in front of Liu Chan was like pounding garlic.

The aristocratic families obeyed, food and grass were abundant, the population increased, and the treasury was filled with money and silk.

Seeing the remarkable results, Zhuge Liang, Fazheng, Du You and others also became emotional.

Your Highness is truly a god!
Sometimes, if you reason with some people, it won't make sense. At this time, weapons are the most direct and effective.

Do you really think that I, a big man, dare not exterminate the clan?

Do you really think that you, the nobles in Guanzhong, will be able to rely on you?
Liu Chan now wants to tell them that they should be dogs when they should be dogs. After changing their masters, do they really think they are the uncle?

After today, the Han army's food pressure will be greatly reduced.

But the gold coins of the nobles can only be exploded once, and fishing all the gold is not a long-term solution.

Building Guanzhong has now become a very important and critical matter. (End of chapter)
