People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 339 Dispose of according to the law, the blade light is cold

In the spacious courtyard, there were two piles of twisted corpses left and right.

The blood that flowed out penetrated deeply into the soil underground.

The green grass on the side was directly overwhelmed, but stubbornly wanted to straighten up.

Li Xuan stepped across the green grass, and while walking, looked at everything around her, with a hint of doubt on her face.

His eyes fell on Yan Tao who was beside him, and Li Xuan asked with some puzzlement: "It seems that none of our people were injured, and we have completely killed these Tianyin bandits. According to legend, Tianyin Aren’t the bandits fearless, why are they so weak this time?”

Li Xuan was really surprised, he had heard more than once that the Tianyin Cultists were crazy and powerful.

Especially on the battlefield, even the most ordinary Tianyin believers, holding weapons in their hands, seemed to be a different person.

Not afraid of death, fearless and painless.

Back then, even the elite soldiers of the government fought head-on, but they didn't have much advantage, so they had to find another way.

But now, these people have been killed so simply, and they look much weaker than before.

"Reporting to the lord, these people were just soldiers in the city before. They didn't repair their military affairs and their combat power was weak. Even if they had a passion for it, it would be difficult for them to perform well under long-range sniping. The lord will look at their weapons again. .”

As Yan Tao said, he moved away and pointed to the pile of weapons.

Li Xuan stepped forward and took a closer look. When the flames flickered, one could clearly see that these weapons were very old, and some of them were even curled.

Yan Tao said with some emotion: "There are only some of the most common bladed knives on the market, the shield has only two or three sides, and there are no more than five or six sets of bows and crossbows. Before they even have time to pull the strings, they have all been targeted and killed."

Li Xuan nodded understandingly. These people were nothing more than ordinary soldiers. Even with the blessing of fanatical beliefs, their combat power was limited. Coupled with the equipment gap between the two sides, they were easily slaughtered remotely.

Even because of the fanaticism, it also affected the reaction speed of the self.

After realizing this point, Li Xuan instantly had a clear understanding of the overall combat power possessed by the Tianyin Sect.

Except for the well-trained [-] elite soldiers with complete armor and weapons, the combat power of the other Tianyin priests is not much stronger than that of ordinary Cao soldiers.

As long as the design is ingenious, many people can be easily killed.

The originally seemingly mysterious Tianyin Sect was completely torn off in front of Li Xuan.

The hall masters of Tianyin Sect who are distributed in various states and counties are already selected from the best.

Aside from them and the three thousand elites, the others are nothing but mobs after all.

Even with the blessing of faith, their shortcomings are still too obvious.

In the blink of an eye, four or five ways to target Tianyin believers appeared in Li Xuan's mind.

Easily, it can be killed directly.

The future is still unknown, but now, Li Xuan has completely possessed the psychological advantage over the Tianyin Sect.

The overall situation of the future of Wuzhou was also clearly reflected in his mind.

In an instant, all thoughts were suppressed in the bottom of my heart.

Li Xuan looked at the weapons on the ground, and suddenly said: "There are shields, longbows, and crossbows here. It seems that it is necessary to check. Who owns these shields and crossbows?"

When Li Xuan said a word, everyone present had different expressions.

The faces of Yan Tao and Xu Jian changed slightly, Xu Jian couldn't help but stepped forward, and said in a low voice: "My lord, [-]% of the weapon manufacturing workshops in Wuzhou belong to the Qian family, we need to investigate..."

"Of course we need to investigate. If the investigation is not clear, then someone should come to investigate the king." Li Xuan shook his head, looked at Xu Jian solemnly, and then looked at the people behind him, waving his hands Said: "The political calculations here may not be clear to you, just follow the rules and do things. I will talk to Qian Zhe later."

Xu Jian immediately came to his senses.

These things in front of us have already involved quite complicated political struggles where they cannot be seen.

Qiu Zhenmu at the side bowed his head and remained silent for some time.

He is the one who has been with Li Xuan the longest among the three, and Li Xuan never hides some secret calculations from him.

Of the four major families in Wuzhou, except for the Shen family, which was difficult to deal with, the other three families were more or less targeted by Li Xuan.

It is rare to have a handle in his hands now, and Li Xuan will not let it go so easily.

Li Xuan's eyes swept slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "Don't continue to pile up these corpses here, put them in the car, parade them in the street, and by the way, let the Fangzheng of each workshop recognize who are these children? , handle everything according to the law."

Yonghui law, those who conspired against or conspired against the great rebellion, he himself will be executed regardless of the head and subordinates; his father and sons over 16 years old will be hanged.

Wives and concubines and sons under the age of 15, as well as mothers, daughters, son's wives and concubines, grandsons, grandfathers, brothers and sisters all entered the government as servants.

The trilogy, slaves, assets, and farms in the family are all without officials.

Whether uncles, uncles or nephews live together or not, they all travel three thousand miles.

Right now, these people are already preparing to assassinate the king, or even openly rebel.

Severe legal punishment is absolutely unavoidable.

"My lord, the subordinates know these people. I wonder if we can go directly to their homes and arrest them." Yan Tao couldn't help standing up.

"No, let the head of the workshop identify and arrest people." Li Xuan turned to look at Yan Tao, and said with a slightly cold face: "You are also going, but your task is to watch the head of the workshop not to admit mistakes on purpose. , if he deliberately admitted his mistake, what should you do?"

"The subordinates know." Yan Tao's expression froze slightly. He was not stupid, but he was usually reluctant to think about these aspects.

From the current scene, it can be clearly seen that the King of Nanchang has ulterior motives.

Those poor square chiefs are going to be unlucky.

"My lord, do you want to screen all the people in the city?" Qiu Zhenmu stepped forward, cupped his hands, and looked at Li Xuan cautiously.

At the beginning, they were able to completely put down the Tianyin Sect rebellion in Dongyang, relying on this method of killing people's hearts.

Now as long as this method is implemented in Wuzhou, it will be difficult for Tianyin Sect to do anything in Wuzhou.

"No, this kind of method is not acceptable in Zhoucheng." Li Xuan stopped Qiu Zhenmu directly, and at the same time said with a serious expression: "Brother Qiu, that kind of method is just that when I first arrived in Wuzhou, I didn't understand the situation. Unfamiliarity, coupled with the small number of people in Dongyang and the small number of Tianyin sect members, this can be done reluctantly, but this kind of method cannot be easily implemented in a big city like Wuzhou."

Qiu Zhenmu frowned, a hint of puzzlement flashed in her eyes.

Li Xuan turned to look at the others, and said bluntly: "The population of Zhoucheng is at least five times that of Dongyang, and most of the people who immigrated from Muzhou were concentrated in Zhoucheng, which means, There are at least five times as many followers of Tianyin Sect in Zhoucheng as there are in Dongyang, and every household has relatives and friends who are believers of Tianyin Goddess."

Seeing Li Xuan's gaze, the faces of many Wuzhou officers and soldiers present instantly became embarrassed.

"There are few people in Dongyang. Even if there is an accident, we can forcefully control it. However, there are many people in Zhoucheng. If you don't pay attention, it will lead to chaos." Li Xuan finally looked at Qiu Zhenmu and said seriously: When you choose, you must not mess around at will.”

"My lord is wise." All the people present, no matter what, at this moment, rushed forward to compliment him.

Most people have heard of Li Xuan's method in Dongyang.

Seeing that this method is likely to be used directly on themselves, they are naturally worried.

Now that Li Xuan said that he didn't intend to do this, everyone immediately relaxed, and at the same time came forward to compliment Li Xuan, hoping to settle these matters thoroughly.

Li Xuan waved his hand, stopped everyone's compliments, and then said: "Although we say we don't plan to do this, it doesn't prevent others from thinking that we will do it... So, Xu Canjun, let the rumors out, It’s always going to make some people nervous.”

"Here!" Xu Jian stepped forward immediately, clasped his hands and agreed without any hesitation.

Qiu Zhenmu's eyebrows and eyes twitched involuntarily.

This method of using rumors to disturb people's hearts is not much less effective than direct identification.

Their king of Nanchang has become more and more proficient at calculating people's hearts.

"Also, for the Tianyin believers who died here today, after their family's land is confiscated, it will also be distributed as this granted land to let the wind out. As long as there is no Tianyin believer in the family, they can apply for this grant. Tian." Li Xuan threw out a word, and continued to walk forward.

Among the crowd, only Li Zhu and Xu Jian followed, and the others couldn't help but stood there in a daze.

Chilled all over.

……

Teams of soldiers walked past Li Xuan, carrying corpses one by one, and walked towards the door.

The entire courtyard has been thoroughly cleaned up. Except for Li Xuan's men, there is almost no one living here now.

Standing at the gate of the second entrance courtyard, Li Xuan said with some emotion: "Cao Mengde once wrote a poem that said: Armored armor breeds lice, and all surnames die; bones are exposed in the wild, and no rooster crows for thousands of miles."

Looking at the corpses in the courtyard, Li Xuan shook his head and said, "Of course, after the First Battle of Muzhou, I'm afraid it will be like this. I just hope that this time, the tragic battle of that year will not be repeated."

"My lord, be merciful!" All the people present cupped their hands at the same time, a trace of sadness flashed in their eyes.

In the final analysis, they are nothing more than fighters on the battlefield, and the real authority to kill people has never been in their hands.

"Okay, let's go." Li Xuan turned around and walked outside. After only two steps, he subconsciously stopped.

Several soldiers in front were moving corpses from a small corpse mountain. Each of these corpses had several crossbow arrows stuck in them, like a little hedgehog.

Yan Tao took a step forward and explained in a low voice: "My lord, these people are the ones who persevered until the end. When they were in the army, they were all first-class fighters. Somehow, they fell into the scheme of the sky. "

Li Xuan nodded slightly, but there was a trace of coldness in his eyes.

[Fang Yunxiu, the head of the Wuzhou Hall of the Tianyin Sect, and under the command of the chief manager Wen Fu, has a dark mind and a congenital true seed of Dzogchen (slight injury)]

"In the future, you need to pay more attention to this kind of thing. The Tianyin Sect's demagogy is too strong. If you don't pay attention, your family will be ruined." Li Xuan said, and glanced at Li Zhu on the side.

Li Zhu frowned instantly, and at this moment, Li Xuan continued to say: "This king has invited Buddhists and Taoists to come and discuss, to destroy the faith of Goddess Tianyin..."

A cold blade light suddenly appeared in front of Li Xuan's eyes. While Li Xuan was speaking, he turned his body, his hand was directly behind the blade light, and then turned around, the blade light had stabbed fiercely into the pile of corpses.

The people present didn't react at all, and then they saw Li Xuan piercing fiercely into the gap between the corpses.

The next moment, the pile of corpses that had been piled together suddenly exploded.

With a "bang", a figure burst out from among the corpses, repelling backwards at half the speed of lightning.

But at this moment, a sharp blade light seemed to ignore the time.

It appeared in the eyes of everyone with incomparable clarity, and then entered the body of that person with incomparable clarity.

Blood burst.
