Lu Dynasty

Chapter 848 Weakening the Family
Sima Lang agreed to Cao, and began to move around, and families from all over the country responded one after another.All of a sudden, the power of the aristocratic families was even wider than that of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the five continents of Bing, Liang, You, Ji, and Yi successively raised troops. officials.Of course, the students who left Luoyang Youth Academy did not give in.Yingchuan's Xun family and Chen's family entangled all their slaves and tenants together to form an army of one hundred thousand to rescue Xuchang!

Looking at the news sent by the Ministry of Intelligence, I couldn't help but sneer.Now, in the eyes of outsiders, I have internal and external troubles, but no one knows, this is exactly the effect I want, otherwise I would not use such a letter to provoke Cao.You know, since the Han Dynasty, aristocratic families have been a major cancer in China.These people only care about the interests of the family and have no regard for the interests of the country.Not to mention the Jin Dynasty and the Wuhu Luanhua, what did these great families do.It means that the national treasury is poor and crazy, but those aristocratic families earn a lot of money, but they are unwilling to give a little to help the country.As a result, the Jurchens and Li Zicheng invaded the capital, and all the money of these aristocratic families was donated to the foreign race!Instead of letting those selfish aristocratic families disregard the life and death of the people of the country, it is better to let them become ordinary people and not give them privileges.

As for the Chinese, no matter how weak they are, there must never be a leader. As long as there is a leader, a lot of people can be pulled out.For example, the Boling Cui family and the Fan Yang Lu family are the leaders of all the big families, and some other small families follow their lead.Originally, I wanted to wait for them to make mistakes before punishing them. Since they dared to rebel, punishment cannot be solved.It's a troubled time now, so focus on it!However, both Cao, Xun Yu, and Cheng Yu were frightened by me, and they didn't see my intention at all.As for Sima Lang, let's not say whether he saw my intentions or not, let's just say that Sima Yi's death has blinded his eyes with hatred and anger!
In the whole Han Dynasty, the only place where there is no chaos is Sili.The Zhang family and the Mi family are aristocratic families who have followed me for many years. Although I have deprived them of many privileges, I have not treated them badly.But the other small families were overwhelmed by what happened to the Xun family.Some small aristocratic families who had jumped over during Sima Yi's activities, together with the housekeeper of the Xun family, were beheaded by Lu Heng at the entrance of the vegetable market.Luoyang Zhensu, Sili Zhensu.However, this is also because the old aristocratic family of Sili has moved away long ago!
What Cao didn't expect was that as soon as the aristocratic families from all over the country raised their troops, my army was approaching the city!The governors and state generals from all over the country are all leaders in our army.Even if there are some people with low intelligence and low intelligence, they can be regarded as veterans in many battles. Even if they are invincible, they can remain undefeated!People like Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, etc. are old, but Hao Zhao, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Quan and others fill the gap of the older generation.Lu Xun from Jizhou and Zhang Ren from Youzhou defeated those aristocratic families who raised troops.

The easiest place is Jingzhou!Cai, Huang, Kuai, and Pang, the four major families in Jingzhou, are almost all my supporters. If they don't move, who would dare to pierce those small families?As for the [-] troops of the Xun family and the Chen family, that was even more of a joke.If it is said that I will be subject to the city, maybe I am still a little apprehensive. Going out of the city to fight in the field, although Lu Bu and I are both close to fifty years old, how can the white tiger kill the god easily?With [-] house slaves, Lu Bu broke through them with only [-] wolf cavalry.There were more than [-] members of the Chen family in Yingchuan, all of whom were killed by Lu Bu. The Xun family in Yingchuan, except for Xun Yu and Xun You, did not spare their slaves or servants.For a time, the world was filled with blood and blood!
Although Sima Lang is talented, he is not a great talent.If it were Sima Yi, even if he didn't know my tricks, he would still be able to see that it was unusual.Our army has completely blocked the surrounding area of ​​Xuchang, how can those people who are in contact with aristocratic families from various places get out of the city?But they just went out!

When the information from various places reached Cao and Sima Lang's hands, they were stunned.Although Cao restricted the rights of the great family, he never thought of destroying the great family, let alone becoming an enemy of the world's great family, but I actually did so!It even succeeded!The moment Cao received such news, he had the idea of ​​surrender for the first time.Because he felt that my achievements would be much greater than his!However, Cao didn't want to give up, after all, Yanxu was his foundation!

Outside Xuchang City, our army camp.

Holding the information sent by the Ministry of Intelligence, I couldn't stop laughing from ear to ear!The rebellion of the aristocratic family was suppressed almost instantly.Originally, those aristocratic families were planning to collude with Siyi, but unfortunately when Siyi got the news, those aristocratic families were no longer successful!Of course, there are also fish that slip through the net.For example, some aristocratic families who supported me in the first place, and some aristocratic families with vision, did not follow the trend.Suddenly, a piece of information from Luoyang came into my eyes, which made me a little excited.

"My lord, why are you so happy?" Guo Jia asked with a smile, "Could it be that Luoyang has some happy event?"

I pointed to the table and said: "Ministry of Industry, Zuo Ci and Yu Ji's research has made new breakthroughs. Although the power of gunpowder explosion is not up to my requirements, the burning speed has been greatly improved, and the new type of catapult researched by the Ministry of Industry The car will also be delivered. We have been staying in Xuchang city for more than half a year, and it is time to change places!"

Guo Jia has no interest in gunpowder, and those two old men have been studying it for almost 20 years and they are still the same.Although the power of the explosion is indeed not small, it is okay to use it for defending the city, but it is tasteless to use it for attacking the city!Many people say that soil explosives can blow up city walls, but how much gunpowder is needed to blow down ancient city walls?Unlucky past is also a problem!The first time, the other party may not understand, but the second time, as long as the other party shoots you some rockets, you will be brilliant!
What is even more depressing is that with the gunpowder, the fuse is also a problem.The Han Dynasty did not have such easy-to-use lead wires as later generations. As for things like firecracker cores, the short ones are easy to handle, but the long ones are not easy to grasp.Anyway, it's one problem after another. It is estimated that Zuo Ci and Yu Ji can make an explosive package before they die, and they should also rest in peace!However, the combustion aid made of gunpowder is very useful.Whether it is a sneak attack or intercepting food, our generals must bring some.

The new catapult was improved by the Ministry of Industry based on previous generations of catapults.Now the Ministry of Industry has begun to divide professional fields. For example, Huang Yueying is in charge of crossbows and transportation equipment, Pu Yuan is a professional iron maker, and Ma Jun is a carpenter. He likes to study catapults the most.According to the wear and tear of various catapults, Ma Jun replaced some parts with iron ones.The current catapult can hit farther, have a longer lifespan, and have a more accurate hit rate. It is the only magic weapon for home travel and siege of cities.
