Liu Yan had previously recruited non-descendant side branches from many families in Changguang County and Dongmu County, and after such a long time, those non-descendant side branches had already been assimilated.
It was a strategic layout of a side branch, just as it was necessary to occupy and defend the narrow peninsula in the east of Liao1, and it was part of the overall strategic layout.
Liu Yan waved his way to the west, and it was time to use those earlier layouts.
The group of patriarchs who were beheaded will have the side branches of the original family to go back, and they will have a strong backing to push them to power, and whether they disagree should be co-opted or directly eliminated by blood, then it will be another matter.
The reason why he came to break up Donglai Academy first and hunt down those who wanted to flee was just to buy time for a series of things.
It is important to know that in the era when there were no convenient means of communication such as mobile phones, telephones, and telegraphs, once people were dispersed, it was basically a fool's dream to get in touch instantly.
Mr.
Gong Tao ran away with a small number of cronies and disciples, but Han deliberately let them go, they probably ran to a place where they thought it was safe, and if they lurked for a short period of time, it would be impossible to respond quickly and effectively to this incident, which was equivalent to losing the first move.
Liu Yan will take advantage of this period of time to solve the troubles within Changguang County and Dongmu County first, probably a way to quickly cut through the mess, restore the absolute rule of the two counties in the shortest possible time, and then make a move on Donglai County.
This time, the Han Department occupied Donglai Academy, not destroyed Donglai Academy.
Such a academy that took decades to build looks pretty good, so why destroy it The rest of the family members who were not killed were driven into the courtyard at the foot of the mountain and imprisoned, and then the Lu Council "reasoned" one after another, and it was best to be willing to submit, and it didn't matter if they were unwilling to submit.
The difference is that those who are obedient can be used immediately, and those who are unwilling to submit can be used after a while.
To say that there really is no "tough guy" in the family that can survive in the troubled times, it is just one night, and Lu Yi reported good results to Liu Yan.
"In this way, there are already thirty-two families who are willing to obey orders" Liu Yan's face couldn't help but show surprise: "Can they still have a little backbone?"
Lu Yi said with a smile: "There are already their cronies who have gone back, and they have been detained."
How many of the thirty-two families were truly converted will be determined in the next period of time. ” From the perspective of a conqueror, he should like a soft egg rather than a tough guy, but Liu Yan couldn't help but feel disdainful: "They can submit to us neatly, and they can betray us again without hesitation." ” Lu Yi certainly agrees with this point of view: "As long as we continue to be strong, they can only choose to obey." ” is right, being able to successfully "rebel" against the thirty-two families is directly related to the military strength of the Han Ministry, which is the posture of the Han Ministry.
If the Han Department seems to be quite weak, there must be families who will be obedient, but by no means there are so many in one night.
"Most of them think they've been deceived."
Lu Yi said with obvious absurdity: "Gong Tao told them that we will give up Changguang County and Dongmu County, and joining them is just a risk-free carving-up feast. ” Don't blame Mr.
Gong Tao, it seems that Liu Yan's actions are really to give up Changguang County and Dongmu County, or how will he relocate his manpower again and again, leaving two counties that are almost empty If it is judged according to normal thinking, Liu Yan really wants to give up the two counties by doing so, but Liu Yan is a person who cannot be seen according to common sense.
Not only did people outside the Han Department think that Liu Yan was going to give up Changguang County and Dongmu County, but in fact, people within the Han Department also saw it that way, which led to the fact that people including Ji Chang, Tian Shuo, and others repeatedly increased their attention to the Liao1 East Narrow Peninsula, and even when they ran the Miaodao Islands, they did things according to the scale of the advance base.
"Your Majesty, if we return to the army, it will cause chaos among those people."
Lu Yi raised his hand and made a downward gesture: "It's convenient to break each one before they react." ” Maybe there was some misunderstanding, that is, after Liu Yan decided to wave his army to the west, his subordinates immediately made up for it, such as the previous actions were to lure the snake out of the hole, further cleanse Changguang County and Dongmu County, and then let Donglai Academy, which had been hiding in the shadows, appear in person.
Donglai Academy has a wide network of contacts in Qingzhou, but they can only exert influence rather than actually be subordinate, which means that the forces that are next to be enemies of the Han are not a group in the real sense, and there is no efficient and close connection, and it can only be said that it is a group with common interests.
If Mr.
Gong Tao was given more time, he might be able to unite those forces that were not subordinate to each other, or at least form a close-knit collective, but Liu Yan led the army back.
Do you know what the core class of the Han Department is thinking now, they suddenly found that Liu Yan is actually very good at "playing chess", and it took so long to arrange the "chess game", all of them are more confident in the future, and everyone is full of enthusiasm and confidence.
Liu Yan may have been "playing the next big game of chess" from the beginning, but the conscience of heaven and earth is aimed at the encirclement and suppression of the army that may appear in Later Zhao, not against those families.
"Shi Bin has already led the army north, and there is no army of the imperial court around Qingzhou.
However, we still don't have much time, and we need to create more established facts before the imperial court reacts.
Lu Yi looked at the bonfires at the foot of the mountain, and said with confidence: "The layout of the early stage of the king has been completed, and then it will be up to the post to complete the finish."
Including the auxiliary soldiers and the people, Liu Yan mobilized 36,000 people this time, which is equivalent to more than one-fifth of the population of the Han Dynasty, and it is impossible to simply consolidate the rule of Changguang County and Dongmu County.
At dawn tomorrow, the troops will disperse, and they will carry out surprise attacks one after another, taking advantage of the fact that most of the families do not know what is happening, to breach as many walled cities or dock forts as possible possible.
Those side branches of the various families who had come to serve in the Han Department earlier, they returned to the family overnight with people and used all the means they could use to complete the control of the family.
Being a member of the strong is a happy thing in troubled times, at least Chen Bin feels that he is quite happy.
Chen Bin is a side branch of the Chen family, the kind of clansman who can be abandoned anytime and anywhere when it comes to danger, so he was abandoned without hesitation two years ago and sent to the Han Department to become a hostage who will be killed at any time.
In the past two years, Chen Bin has repeatedly changed from an inconsequential person, first from a hostage to a soldier of the Han Ministry, and then from a member of the Han Ministry, following the army to fight and make meritorious contributions, from a person who was nothing to the commander of a strong army, and soon to become the patriarch of the family from a side branch of the family.
"Tun Chief, your family is not big."
"Big, but big" "How big?"
"There are more than 300 clansmen, and there are more than 2,000 households, you say it's not big."
Chen Bin didn't bring many people, they were fifty soldiers selected from the tunzhong, but those people were carefully selected by him, and they could all be called heroes, and they were his arms to seize the leadership of the family in the future.
The fifty soldiers were all dressed in leather armor, and all of them looked fierce and spirited, and all of them had participated in at least ten battles, and fought with the Goguryeo people in the sea of corpses and blood on the 1st Xian Peninsula in the dynasty.
Just look at the armbands of the fifty soldiers, each of whom has at least one bronze skill badge, most of them spears, and there are also many insignia of knives or swords, and they are "technicians" who have passed the tribal examination and have been recognized.
More importantly, they have all been trained on the battlefield.
It is said that the Han tribe has been engaged in a modest battle with Goguryeo on the 1 Xian Peninsula, which is a burning and looting attack everywhere, and it is also encroaching on the territory of Goguryeo.

During the continuous operation, Liu Yan systematically rotated the army in batches, which was tantamount to training with a large number of people who had been temporarily armed in Goguryeo.
In terms of effectiveness, the Han Department has gone through a series of military training, and the effect is very good, so that almost every soldier has experienced the tempering of the battlefield, and a large number of meritorious people have been produced.
Chen Bin is now part of the large class of Han Gongmin, and he is proud of this status, as well as the silver-white sword badge on his armband.
Meritorious people are a special group in the Han Dynasty, they enjoy another layer of social welfare in addition to the "skill" assessment, any commoner should avoid saluting when they see them, give priority to owning real estate and marrying wives, and more importantly, even if they retire, they have a better chance of becoming a local official than anyone else.
"It's almost here, don't show your edge when the time comes, just go home with me to save your family."
Chen Bin's voice was relatively loud: "Enter the dock fort first, and then follow my orders when the time comes" An uproar sounded in response to the "promise".
Seizing power has never relied on simple killings to achieve things, it requires a reasonable step, and if you can kill less, you should definitely not kill more.
For example, Chen Bin and some other side branches who are responsible for going back to "turn over and be the master", what they need to do is to form effective control over the family, so that the family can contribute to the next battle of the Han Ministry, which is really not just killing, but also coercion, temptation and other means.
"The king is destined to rule Qingzhou, and the family can only join in, not be crushed as a stumbling block."
Chen Bin, like many people with a common mission, thought with conviction: "Only by participating in the great cause of the king can the family grow, and only by making more contributions can it follow and grow."
I must not mess up and let the family lose such a good opportunity" In other words, what concept did Ji Chang teach this group of people:
