Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 220 Compromise
A charred corpse was carried in front of Li Yue.

The armor has been attached to the flesh, beyond recognition, and before he died, he was still holding the big ax tightly.

"Salute!" Li Yue took the lead and cupped his hands.

The personal guards, General Heiyun, and even all the surrounding soldiers handed over their hands.

This soldier is the brave man who climbed first from the ashes, and because of his feat, he inspired the soldiers of the Heiyun Army, and captured the so-called Fortified City in just half a day.

Li Yue covered the Heiyun Chiqi with his own hands, "Liu Fu, a soldier of the Vanguard Battalion, died in a bloody battle. He was promoted to Heiyun General, rewarded with two hundred acres of land, and his heir was promoted to Heiyunlang. , [-] yuan!"

These are not enough to reward his contribution, but to make up for it slightly.

However, it moved the surrounding Heiyun Army officers and soldiers greatly.

From the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the status of soldiers became lower and lower, from soldiers to military households and military slaves.

Li Yue's move was to enhance the sense of honor of the soldiers.

In front of all the troops, Li Yue and his personal guards carried the body into the carriage and sent it back to Heiyun Mountain for burial, which can be regarded as returning to the roots.

But Li Yue knows that his real hometown is in Zhongshan...

Other soldiers who fought bravely were also rewarded on the spot.

Qi Min didn't lie, the food, grass, and military equipment in Rencheng were piled up like mountains, and there were countless gold, silver, money and silk.

Known for his greed and violence, he has accumulated a lot of property. There are more than 20 cellars in the prefect's mansion. The piled silks and satins are all moldy. There is a green smell of copper on the five baht coins, and there are more than 20 boxes of horseshoe gold.

In the troubled times, this group of people still had a good life.

In addition, there were more than [-] prisoners.

Under the torture of the school officials, he easily confessed the tyrant behind him, and the evidence is very obvious, with his surname printed on the weapons and armor.

Freezing three feet is not a day's cold.

After the torture, Li Yue just learned that Yanzhou Haoqiang had long been dissatisfied with Heiyun Mountain.

This turmoil has been planned for a long time. They were not allowed to extend their hands into the Black Cloud Army when the army was expanded, and they have already offended them.

Cui Jin worried: "Does the governor want to uproot them, or punish them slightly?"

Li Yue naturally knew what he was worried about.

The powerful power should not be underestimated, it is not so easy to deal with, a Mi family in the late Han Dynasty can provide Liu Bei with tens of thousands of child servants, so that Liu Bei has a family.

Even Shi Le Shihu turned a blind eye to them back then.

If they are united together, their strength will not be under Heiyun Mountain, and a single hair will affect the whole body, especially when the world is in chaos.

"Let them take off a layer of skin first!"

This year is a critical year for Yanzhou, and there must be no chaos in the territory.

Cui Jin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that there was not a complete breakup, "Although there are powerful people and governors, there are also people who have their own hearts, so we can't generalize them."

The foundation of the Yanzhou Army was founded by a few tyrants who supported Heiyun Mountain.

Among them, Li Yue naturally knows, "You clean up the mess here, so I will go to Dongjun to meet them for a while!"

Cui Jindao: "The powerful will not bow their heads easily. When Sun Bofu swept Jiangdong back then, he was accidentally harmed by him. The governor is very careful."

The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, let alone a tyrannical man with a knife in his hand?
It's really driving them into a hurry, and there's nothing they can't do.

Li Yue nodded, and led [-] Heiyun troops to escort the prisoners straight to Yuncheng.

Yuncheng is basically the lair of Yanzhou tyrants, and a large number of children work in the Yanzhou Governor's Department.

The black cloud army came with a murderous look, which surprised everyone in Yuncheng.

But they were not stupid enough to defend the city, but followed Liu Qi out to meet him.

"The governor put down Rencheng's rebellion in a few days ago. Congratulations!" Liu Qi's face was a little ugly.

He was caught between the strong and the black clouds, and he naturally endured a lot of invisible pressure.

"A mere Qi Minruo has no one behind him, how dare he do that?" Li Yue glanced at the crowd, all of them were prominent figures in the Yanzhou territory.

But at this moment, half of the people dare not look up.

Yanzhou Gongcao Bianyi said: "The governor, please come into the city and have a talk."

But Li Yue waved his hand, "No, it's better to explain the matter clearly here, so as not to disturb the people, let them go up!"

The guards came forward with more than 40 prisoners.

And these people confessed to their identities, either the generals of the Zang family, or the children of the Bao family.

Dozens of weapons engraved with surnames were thrown in front of everyone, making everyone present silent.

It's not that they were careless, but that they didn't care at all, and never thought that they would lose, and they would lose so quickly.

The arrogance of tyrants is not a day or two.

"The governor will give his subordinates three days, and after three days, he will give the governor an explanation!" Liu Qi's face darkened.

"Why wait until three days later?" Li Yue was aggressive.

Three days later, these tyrants might be connected in series.

Li Yue knew that Liu Qi had good intentions, and he didn't want chaos in Yanzhou and the people to suffer, but this matter was not something he could press on.

The Heiyun army rushed over non-stop, just to cut through the mess quickly and catch them by surprise.

"Zang Chao, Bao Jing, Peng Zhen, what don't you three say?" They pretended to be grandsons, and Li Yue could only call names.

The others behind him immediately distanced themselves from the three of them.

Seeing this action, Li Yue basically knew what the tyrants were thinking.

You can't take them too lightly, but you don't have to look at them too high either.

The three of them looked at each other, stood a step forward, gritted their teeth and said, "This matter is decided by the members of the clan without the knowledge of the subordinates. If the governor is merciful, my Bao family is willing to donate [-] stone grains to help Black Cloud General!"

"The Zang family and the Peng family are also willing to contribute [-] yuan!"

Li Yue sneered twice at once. One hundred thousand shi grains wanted to overshadow this matter. His wife was really serious. He turned his eyes to Liu Qi, "What does Mr. Liu think?"

Liu Qi glanced at the crowd, "Rebellion has been an unforgivable crime since ancient times, and the governor has always been benevolent and righteous, but you and I have no sincerity at all!"

These words seem to be helping Li Yue, but they are actually pleading for mercy for the powerful, and neither side will offend.

He himself is also one of the tyrants of the gentry, and his position as governor of Yanzhou is inseparable from the support of the tyrants.

Power doesn't come out of thin air, either by your own sword or supported by someone else's sword...

"Twenty, we are willing to give 20 stones!" The faces of the three were ashen.

However, Li Yue still looked at the officials in Yanzhou coldly, and the Heiyun army behind him became more and more murderous.

The cold wind suddenly picked up, making the people present tremble slightly.

"Governor, please forgive me!" Bian Yi, Xu Gui, Li Fu and other tyrants who returned to Heiyun Mountain begged for mercy.

Move the Zang, Bao, and Peng families, and the other tycoons will definitely leave.

A similar incident happened once at the end of Han Dynasty. Cao Cao killed Bian Rang, and the Yanzhou gentry rebelled collectively, which almost made Cao Cao homeless.

The foundation of Heiyun Mountain in Yanzhou is still not solid, if Yanzhou's tyrants are forced to turn against them, Yanzhou, which has just improved, will fall into turmoil again.

Although the Black Cloud Army will definitely win in the end, it will definitely delay for a long time and miss greater opportunities.

Li Yue took a deep breath, "Since you are begging for mercy, this matter will come to an end. From today onwards, the son of a wealthy family in Yanzhou will enter Chenliu as a hostage, and select a thousand elites to serve under my tent. Remember, they are elites with excellent equipment. Not the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled!"

Everyone looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, their faces were cloudy and uncertain.

When the legitimate son enters Chenliu, he is tantamount to being a hostage.

To them, a thousand elites is not too much, but it is also a lot.

"Your subordinates take orders!" Liu Qi took the lead and cupped his hands.

Bian Yi, Xu Gui, and Li Fu also followed suit.

Li Yue stared at the three families of Zang, Bao, and Peng. This was the final bottom line. If they disagreed, even at the risk of chaos in Yanzhou, Li Yue would send troops to destroy them.

Liu Qi, Bian Yi and the others also cast their eyes on the three of them, with a hint of threat.

"I, I will take orders!" After all, the three of them couldn't bear the pressure and gave in...
