Chapter 194 The emperor was furious, laying down millions of corpses
After the White Robes moved out the Tenth Company's strong crossbows, this war that could not be called a war was declared over.

Even though the combat effectiveness of Cui's private soldiers is not weak, the white-robed army using ten-company powerful crossbows to attack them is similar to a group of modern troops using firearms to attack unarmed ordinary people.

The terrifying destructive power of the Ten Company Crossbows was fully demonstrated on the plains. Cui's private soldiers kept falling like wheat blown by the wind in front of the Ten Company Crossbows. In just a quarter of an hour, [-] Cui's private soldiers were wiped out. They were all slaughtered, and only a handful of survivors remained.

Cui Hu and Cui Zhiwen were not spared either. One was shot in the head and died a miserable death, while the other was tortured together with the guards who protected him.

As for the white-robed army, no one was injured.

"Go up and finish the attack. These are all traitors and traitors. Your Majesty has an order, don't let anyone go!"

"When we enter Qinghe County, anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"

Xue Wanche pulled out the horizontal knife from his waist and ordered coldly.

Last hit is what Li Chengdao has always emphasized.

Not doing last-hitting on the battlefield is giving hope to the enemy and creating trouble for yourself.

"promise!"

The [-] white-robed troops responded in unison, with an extremely majestic aura.

……

Fifty thousand white-robed troops quickly entered Qinghe County. Originally, the local people and officials in Qinghe County were still panicking about what had happened.

But when they saw Li Ziwang's flag and the uniforms of the white-robed army, they were immediately relieved.

The reputation of the White Robe Army is known to everyone in the Tang Dynasty. The only people who can be as famous as the White Robe Army are the Yizhou Army who refused to retreat in the face of the Tibetan attack and defended the people of a state, and the Yizhou Army who killed and retreated The beggar army of 20 Tibetan troops.

But in comparison, the reputation of the White Robes is even louder.

Everyone knows that the White Robe Army is the personal army of the current Holy Emperor. They follow him in the north and south to destroy the Turks and seal the wolf as his subordinate. They are the real king's division.

Therefore, the White Robe Army stationed in Qinghe County without any resistance. During this period, they encountered small-scale resistance from the Cui clan in Qinghe, but they were all quickly wiped out.

The Qinghe Cui family, one of the five surnames and seven hopes, was ruined in such a short period of time.

The remaining members of the Cui clan were captured by the White Robe Army, and the head of the family, Cui Wei, had died in an assassination attempt by the Shadow Guards, and his head was sent to Chang'an.

After this sudden massacre, no one in the Cui family could figure out how the white-robed army came to Qinghe County silently.
How could they know that Li Chengdao had already started preparing to reform the imperial examination, and how could he not guard against the family that was the most resistant to the reform of the imperial examination?

Several armies under Li Chengdao were firmly under his control. The generals who had been infiltrated by major aristocratic families and had connections in the army were all investigated, and then controlled one by one with a single order. .

In other words, the information about the movements that the major families received from the military from beginning to end were all false.

And all of this was naturally done by Jia Xu.

Not only the Cui family, but also the Wang family of Taiyuan was trampled by the Mobei cavalry at the same time. The entire Lu family of Fan Yang was slaughtered by the begging army, leaving no chickens or dogs behind.

In comparison, the Cui family in Qinghe was lucky to have left some clan members behind.The three major aristocratic families were wiped out one by one, but the three armies still did not put down their butcher knives, and began to attack the aristocratic families who had done the most to put pressure on the imperial court.

There are millions of dead bodies, bleeding and drifting.

Why was the emperor so angry?This is the emperor's anger!
The reform of the imperial examination is one thing, and the centralization of power is another!This world belongs to him, how can he allow aristocratic families to be higher than the imperial power, or even threaten the stability of the imperial power?
It would be fine if these aristocratic families were honest, but now that they have stretched out their claws, Li Chengdao will chop off their heads as well!
Emperors of all dynasties wanted to punish the family, but few were able to do so, but Li Chengdao was different. He held the greatest military power in his hands, and no one could match him in terms of fame or achievements.

He is like a sharp sword blooming with infinite sword energy, daring to cut off all enemies in his way!
……

In just six days, Li Chengdao directly wiped out seven of the 22 aristocratic families who participated in the joint pressure on the court.

The Cui family of Qinghe, the Lu family of Fanyang, the Wang family of Taiyuan, the Yuan family of Henan, the Dou family of Fufeng...

Let’s not talk about the three families of King Cui Lu for the moment. The five surnames and Qiwang are top families with more than hundreds of years of inheritance, and the remaining families are all top nobles!

But they were all killed within six days!

Such thunderous methods frightened all the aristocratic families!

The remaining aristocratic families who participated in putting pressure on the imperial court and resisting the reform of the imperial examination were all trembling with fear and panic.

They originally thought that more than 20 aristocratic families would unite to put pressure on Li Chengdao, and even if they raised private troops, they could overthrow the Li Tang Dynasty. Who knew that the six-day alliance was broken, and the most powerful aristocratic family of Five Surnames and Seven Hopes was also massacred!

A person as powerful as King Cuilu would only end up with his entire family destroyed, but what could the aristocratic families like them do?
Many aristocratic families were extremely frightened. They were all afraid that Li Chengdao would fall on their heads, and even began to discuss whether to make a desperate move and gather all their forces to fight Li Chengdao for a life-and-death fight.

But all their plans fell apart with an imperial order issued by Li Chengdao to all the aristocratic families.

"Within ten days, all the family heads will come to Chang'an to see me."

"Anyone who doesn't come or comes late will be regarded as traitorous by me."

"Everyone in the clan will punish him."

The last sentence of "execute him to death" seemed to be oozing with blood, as if hiding the ghosts of those slaughtered aristocratic families, which made the heads of the aristocratic families lose all their courage.

Without exception, the remaining fifteen aristocratic family heads all chose to rush to Chang'an, regardless of whether Li Chengdao wanted to gather them together and kill them.

It's simple. If they go, they may die, or they may pay a huge price to find a chance for the family to survive.

And if they don't go, they will definitely die.

It is possible for the 22 aristocratic families to unite to overthrow the Li Tang Dynasty, but after the destruction of the three families of King Cui Lu, this possibility has been infinitely close to zero.

Everyone knows that today's emperor is a true iron-blooded king, and no one dares to gamble with his family.

Therefore, in just ten days, all the heads of many aristocratic families rushed to Chang'an and entered the palace to see Li Chengdao.
