After rebirth, I tortured the scum and strived to become the empress

The people who can sit in this hall are all smart, and those who are brainless are not qualified to speak. Therefore, no stupid young man stands up to say that he has other opinions. In fact, as Shen Qingjun's retainers, they are all hurt by her. With the relationship of both prosperity and prosperity, he also agreed to attack the Liu family...

They also understand that the Liu family is the biggest obstacle to their lord's control of martial arts, and they have all seen the arrogance and arrogance of the Liu family these days... which also makes them feel bad about the Liu family!
"Okay, since all the gentlemen have asked me to send troops to attack Liu, I have decided to mobilize all the troops to attack this rebellious clan. And tomorrow is the auspicious day to send troops. Soldiers are valuable and quick, so we will send troops tomorrow!"

Shen Qingjun, who returned to the throne, solemnly said that this was the opinion of many retainers, and she was not a dictatorial person.

"General Murong, General Huang, and General Xu, tell me, if the army goes out tomorrow, is it possible for these three to do it?"

"Don't delay the Lord's important matters!" In fact, under normal circumstances, the decision to mobilize troops would definitely not be decided today and can be set off tomorrow.It takes a lot of time to prepare food, grass and ordnance, but this is not an abnormal situation. Food, grass and ordnance have been secretly mobilized for a long time, so the three of them can guarantee that the army will be able to set off tomorrow!
"Very good!"

"Military law says: 'Know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger!' Since you have decided to cut down the Liu family, you cannot know anything about the Liu family. Zhongzhi, please tell me about the situation of the Liu family and Wuwei County!"

Zhongzhi is naturally the name of Li Yang. Li Yang was originally from Wuwei County. It is most appropriate for him to introduce the affairs of the Liu family to the ministers!
"I accept your order." Li Yang left his home to sit down, walked to the center of the hall, saluted Shen Qingjun, and then said:

"The current Liu family has few members and a simple structure, and the Liu family seems to have weak blood... To be honest, there are only five people in the third generation...

Because of this, his family has had a tradition since the last two generations, that is, Liu Su's grandfather, to recruit adopted sons and in-laws to make up for the lack of family members! "

"I will first talk about the direct lineage of the Liu family. There are only three current direct lineages of the Liu family, namely the head of the family Liu Su, his eldest son Liu Su, and his eldest grandson Liu Sheng."

"Liu Su, the head of the Liu family, is 51 years old. His Majesty called him to serve as an official in the court three times after the founding of the People's Republic of China, but he refused! After Zhang Juanzhong, the county governor, was killed by a mob for no reason, he was appointed by his majesty as the governor of Wuwei County.
Since then, he has been controlling Wuwei County... Liu Su took his officials back to Liujiabao, Tianshui County before his lord led the army to take over Wuwei County! "

"Actually, in addition to sending two county governors to serve, His Majesty also sent county magistrates and other officials. But just like the county governors, they all died or went crazy in the end! It was also because there were too many people who died and went crazy, so those county magistrates Lingcai is as afraid of the Liu family as a tiger!"

Here Li Yang also explained why central officials are afraid of the Liu family. There are too many seniors in front of them.

"Wait a minute, Staff Officer Li, I don't understand why your majesty, a wise and powerful man, would allow the Liu family to grow in size?"

A general who admired Emperor Shao Wu's reputation interjected and asked, "As the founding emperor of the country, it's not surprising that Shen Qingjun has military generals who admire him."

Li Yang glanced at him and explained: "After two county guards and other officials died or went crazy due to martial arts, Your Majesty originally wanted to deal with the Liu family, but because he was busy attacking the Chen Kingdom in the south, he could not spare any action, so he had no choice but to Appoint Liu Su as the governor of Wuwei County to temporarily stabilize the north."

"That's it!" The general sat down after getting a satisfactory answer.

"Let's talk about Liu Su's two sworn brothers, Liu Ming and Liu Jue. They are very popular in the Liu family and deeply trusted by Liu Su... When Liu Su was the county guard, he always used them as his deputies and one as the county guard. Officials, one person is a county captain..."

After saying this, Li Yang also glanced at everyone in the hall, "I wonder if everyone still has an impression of Liu Ming?"

"Could it be that fearless madman who wanted to block the Lord's carriage when he entered the city..." Wang Biao was naive and attentive. Seeing Fang Jiwei's question, he replied.

"It turns out to be this madman! He deserves to be killed!"

"Liu Su's other adopted brother, Ming Liu Jue, has now been found out that the person responsible for the military training in Huangsha Valley is Liu Jue, the adopted brother of Liu Su, the current Liu family."

"His eldest son Liu Su, who is twenty-seven this year, has been staying in the Liu Family Fort to handle all matters in the family when his father was the governor of Wuwei County. He was the young family head... Of course, he also has two adopted brothers named Liu Guihe. Liu Tong."

"Liu Gui and Liu Tong have been helping Liu Su with housework in Liujiabao and have never served as officials..."

"As for the third-generation grandson of the Liu family, Liu Sheng is just an 11-year-old boy now... His sworn brothers are just a few children, so I won't talk about it for now."

"The members of the Liu family are indeed simple. In this way, the only people in the Liu family who can make the decisions are Liu Su and his son. Those adopted sons and brothers are more like retainers or servants..." Shen Qingjun said.

"Hey, Staff Officer Li, from your description, Liu Su has a biological brother who is not a biological brother, but a sworn brother. What does this mean?" Fang Jiwei asked curiously.

"That's a good question, Staff Officer Fang. Let me finally talk about the branches of the Liu family, namely Liu Su's two younger brothers Liu Quan and Liu Yai... These two people have physical disabilities. The world describes them as: 'ugly in appearance, lacking in intelligence, and with strange personalities...'

Because of their appearance, lack of intelligence and bad personality, their status in the Liu family is really not high. They are also very low-key in Wuwei County, so there is no need to care! "

"Ugly and lacking in intelligence? I would like to know how ugly and stupid you are to be rated like this." Murong Shu, who was in the audience, was excited and couldn't help but sigh.

"The Liu family must have done a lot of bad things, and the children of the family should be punished. It's a pity that this retribution should be on the common people?" Gao Gan continued.

"Actually, regarding the Liu family, I heard a piece of news. It is said that the current direct descendants of the Liu family are actually the original descendants...

Because in Liu Su's grandfather's generation, the family had only one only son, and he was frail and sick. After becoming the head of the family, he was even less able to manage the heavy family business...

As the cousin of the only son, Liu Su's grandfather had outstanding abilities and was a blood relative, so he was trusted by the sickly only son and entrusted with important tasks...

Gradually, Grandpa Liu Su was not only able to take charge of the housework of the Liu family, he could also represent the Liu family in foreign affairs and became the de facto head of the Liu family... However, Grandpa Liu Su was not grateful or satisfied. The housekeepers and servants also used various means to suppress dissidents. Taking advantage of the sick only son's recuperation, they united with shopkeepers and family members from all over the country to seize the power of the family and turned concubines into heirs...

If this was all he wanted to do, it would be fine. Liu Su's grandfather was worried that his power would be unstable, so he killed all the direct members of the Liu family, including the three underage children of the sickly head of the family...

And because he was very afraid that other concubines would imitate his example, after his position was firmly established, many people from other houses also died for no reason..."

Shen Qingjun opened his mouth and told Liao Qilong where he heard about the current Liu family's family history!There is a reason why she said this, just to arouse everyone's distaste for the Liu family!
During the Great Wei Dynasty, Liu Su's grandfather, as the concubine of a side branch, seized the family property of the master's family and his legitimate brother and exterminated the legitimate son. Naturally, he was hated by everyone!
"Is this still happening? Since the Liu family has seized power, no wonder they are so unjust..." The retainers below were whispering to each other, and there was a lot of discussion... condemning the Liu family's behavior!

"No wonder the Liu family is so wary of concubines. They would rather use adopted sons and adopted brothers than concubines from far away. It turns out it's because of fear!"

In the Wei Dynasty, for the effective inheritance of family interests, the family power was no longer diminished in the process of passing from father to son, and only the eldest son was respected!The side branches serve the main family. The other brothers of the eldest son, regardless of their direct concubines, all work for the eldest son!

If the second son wants to break away from his eldest son and establish a separate family, there may be some opportunities among the royal family or the common people. After all, the imperial power is special, because the imperial power can use force to break the tradition!But there is also a certain degree of difficulty!
Ordinary people do not have much family property to pass on. If they can have a son who is successful, it may be of great help to the family. Therefore, although the eldest son is respected, he will not suppress other sons!

Of course, the eldest son must also make arrangements for the "futures" of his other brothers and side branches. After all, the obligations belong to both parties!The eldest son cannot just enjoy his rights without fulfilling his obligations, otherwise this system will not last long...

That's why Fang Jiwei asked Liu Su why he neglected his biological brothers and used adopted brothers. The eldest son would be criticized by society if he neglected his relatives and used outsiders.

After the discussion continued for a while, Shen Qingjun raised his hand to signal for silence, "The sage said: 'The one who created the figurines will have no descendants?' A family like the Liu family, where evildoers seize power and run the family, will not be destroyed. Heaven will not tolerate it... We will send out troops to destroy them tomorrow." Liu is just in line with Heaven’s will and people’s hearts!”

"My lord is wise, sending troops to destroy Liu will harmonize the hearts of the people of heaven!" All the retainers said in unison.

"Heaven and the people's hearts" This is the justice of war. Don't underestimate this justice. It has a huge impact on the morale of the army. Just like when officers and soldiers fight against thieves, the psychology of officers and soldiers fighting against thieves is different. The officers and soldiers naturally have a sense of justice!
Because the Liu family that Shen Qingjun is attacking this time is not a "thief", but a family under her rule, she needs to tell her subordinates where her justice lies!This is also the meaning of this rally!

……

After the discussion in the hall, the next day, more than three months after Shen Qingjun came to Wuwei County, on March [-]th, Shen Qingjun set off with [-] Qingqi and rushed all the way to Tianshui County, the Liu family's hometown.

It is actually very advantageous for Shen Qingjun to send troops at this time. The first is that she does not have to worry too much about the Donghu people in the northeast intervening in the civil war between her and the Liu family...

Because a month ago, good news came from the border. Donghu was severely wounded by the marshal of the world's troops, the King of Jin Li Chen. Donghu Zuoxian King Yelu Buluojin was defeated and fled back to the grassland in embarrassment with only 2000 men and horses...

Last year, Donghu Khan heard that the Wei Dynasty sent King Jin to lead 30 troops to attack Donghu, and also sent 30 troops led by Bu Luojin to fight against Li Chen. He wanted to have a contest for the successor.
The two sides had been at odds for several months, with each other winning and losing. Unfortunately, Bu Luo Jin got impatient, but Li Chen still fought steadily and lured Bu Luo Jin into his trap step by step. The 30 Donghu army was cut off and driven into the mountains, where they were finally separated. annihilate...

Having lost 30 troops at once, Donghu was also seriously injured. The overlord on the grassland was almost lost.
Now he is attacking everywhere, plundering other tribes to replenish himself, and re-establishing his dominance. The grasslands have been reduced to a pot of porridge. He will not go south for a while, and the threat to the border is small...

The external threat is small, so it is naturally a good time to resolve internal conflicts. After all, Wuwei County is located on the border, and the influence of the barbarians in the north must be considered.
But why didn't Shen Qingjun choose to send troops when the battle report came in a month ago?She was also particular about choosing to send out troops in mid-to-late March——

For one thing, a month ago she had not found out the number of soldiers hiding in Liujia Valley, and the newly bought horses had not been fattened and could not fight, which meant that she was not ready at that time.

Secondly, a month ago, when the battle report came, it was the spring plowing season in Wuwei County. Fighting would affect the plowing. Wuwei County was her own territory, so of course she would not send troops during the spring plowing season.

Otherwise, even if he defeats the Liu family, it will affect his own harvest this fall. It is precisely based on this consideration that Shen Qingjun endures it again and again...

At this time, spring plowing has passed, and there is no need for people to do farm work in the fields for the time being. It is a good time to send troops!
The [-] cavalrymen currently led by Shen Qingjun, in addition to the [-] flying cavalry troops, the Xiong Zhuan Army who also used Murong's martial arts mobilized [-] light cavalry troops and raised [-] regular soldiers.

As for why she didn't bring out all three armies, it was because if she wanted to attack the Liu family, there would definitely be more than one battlefield... but the troops would be divided into three groups.

The two armies, the Xiong Yu Army and the Trap Army, were led by their generals Murong Wugong and Huang Gonggong respectively. One went west to Lingwu City to guard against the potentially troublesome Qiang people, and the other rushed to Huangsha Valley to take down the Liu family's secretly trained troops. Thousands of soldiers and horses blocked the way.

No, strictly speaking, the troops were divided into four groups, because there was still Gao Ling who led the auxiliary troops squeezed out from the Xiong Zhen and Zhenzhen armies and stayed in Wuwei City to look after the house!
The army rushed on a starry night and arrived in Tianshui County in two days. Before the Liu family could react, they seized the ferry and defended it. While blocking the Liu family in Tianshui, they thrust a sharp knife into the Liu family's heart...

Because Tianshui County is located at the fork of a large river and one of its larger tributaries, with mountains on one side, as long as they seize the ferry, the Liu family will not be able to escape!
As night fell, a bonfire was lit with several sheep roasted on it. Several battalion commanders gathered around and brought the roasted mutton skewers to Shen Qingjun, wanting to share the food with her.

"Lord, please eat the sheep!"

"Well, you've worked hard!" As a subordinate of the lord, she did not need to thank her for her filial piety, but she wanted to say thank you for your hard work!

Shen Qingjun took the perfectly roasted mutton, ate it, and got up to inspect the camp... This was her duty as the coach.

Seeing that the soldiers had all drunk the broth, they couldn't help but nod with satisfaction. The army came in a hurry and the army's logistics supply was difficult. This sheep was snatched from the Liu family's ferry camp because of their achievements in this battle. Otherwise, they would have to Chew dry food!
When Yu came to the tent she had set up, she saw that some of the soldiers who needed to keep watch in the middle of the night were already asleep. She did not disturb their rest, but just asked the soldiers on duty to watch the fire carefully. After receiving a response, she nodded and left.
