Unparalleled Concubine

After several rounds of arrow rain, more than 2 Northern Zhou clans completely collapsed. While fleeing, these people trampled on each other. In just one or two hours, half of the people were directly reduced.

It was completely dark.

The half-encircled Forbidden Army surrounded these remaining Northern Zhou clans.

The little father-in-law, Ye Mao, rode on the battlefield with Zhao Jia, and saw corpses everywhere. The death of tens of thousands of people made the place full of blood.

The eyelids of this young man from Chen Guogong's mansion trembled.

He had killed people, and more than one.

As the children of generals in the capital, and top generals, when they were teenagers, their elders would arrange for them to kill people to try their courage. Ye Mao killed death-row criminals at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and led his family to kill a bunch of mountain bandits at the age of sixteen or seventeen. , He thinks he is very courageous, and there is no problem at all in the battlefield.

However, when the corpses of tens of thousands of people were placed in front of him, the young master of Chen Guogong's mansion was still nauseated.

He sat on the horse, remained silent for a long time, and finally spoke slowly.

"No wonder Uncle Li said...my reputation will be very bad."

Ye Mao took a long sigh, and said, "Even if these people are not from the Northern Zhou family, but just ordinary people, leading troops to intercept and kill these people who are powerless to fight back will not have a good reputation."

Zhao Jia followed Ye Mao on horseback, bowed his head and said, "Young Lord is taking the blame for His Majesty. They annoyed His Majesty, so they should know what will happen today."

These Northern Zhou clans first made false reports of the disaster situation in various places, and then openly attacked the inner guards. They have already committed rebellion, and they have to blame themselves for their current fate.

Ye Mao took a deep breath, looked at the Northern Zhou clan surrounded in the middle, and said, "Brother Zhao, Martial Uncle Li said you are a trustworthy and smart person, and if Uncle Li trusted you, I can trust you too. Now you should be dead, too. I don’t want to kill the rest, brother Zhao can let them surrender.”

Zhao Jia was silent for a while, and finally said slowly: "They may not survive if they surrender."

"That can't die in my hands."

Ye Mao lowered his eyebrows and said, "Bring them to the capital, and let the officials in the capital kill them."

Zhao Jia smiled wryly, "If surrender is also death, why didn't they die here?"

Ye Mao looked back at Zhao Jia, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Go tell them, just say that I can make the decision. If they surrender, at least I can leave a root for each of their families."

Zhao Jia looked up at Ye Mao.

"Young master, have you thought about this?"

To kill them all is to exterminate the grass and roots. If the current Majesty wants to kill people on a large scale, it is impossible to leave a nest of enemies for himself.

Ye Mao patted his chest, and said in a muffled voice, "I've made the decision."

Zhao Jia sighed, lowered his head and said, "I'm going to prepare now, please send some people to protect me, lest those people jump over the wall in a hurry."

"It's natural."

………………

Time went into the night.

After a few rounds of attacks, the Imperial Army suddenly stopped their offensive, giving the remnants of the Northern Zhou clan a chance to breathe. It took them two hours to barely count the casualties and organize the team.

Then the surviving bigwigs of several families began to get together to discuss countermeasures.

Among them, Yang Guo of Hongnong Yang's family escaped by chance because he hid in the carriage, but his right arm was bruised, and he was also present at the meeting this time.

"We were all coaxed by Li Shidao!"

The patriarch of Hongnong Yang's family looked sullen, and said angrily: "The old man just asked carefully about the situation of the Li family. There is only an empty shell left in the north of the Li family in Zhaojun, and the direct descendants were taken away by Li Shidao early on. Go to southern Xinjiang!"

"He knew there would be such a day, but he didn't communicate with us. Why?"

The Patriarch of the Boling Cui Clan was seriously injured by an arrow and was unable to come. The one who came was the Patriarch’s younger brother Cui Ling, who was also a middle-aged man in his 40s. Sitting in this temporary tent, he also had a sinister face. .

"This time, the cause and effect are all caused by the Li family of Zhaojun. It is they who colluded with Li Shen and tricked us hard."

A group of people woke up like a dream at this time, and finally figured out the cause and effect.

The Pingnanhou Mansion doesn't need them at all.

The Northern Zhou family has been in decline for 30 years, and now all their forces combined are easily defeated by a Zhechong Mansion of the Imperial Guard, so it is useless for Li Shen to want them. Their greatest role is to die here.

Just when several people were gnashing their teeth, a bloody man ran in in a panic, and then saluted with ancient etiquette: "Uncles, there is a young man outside who wants to see you."

"Who?"

Yang Guo's eyes were sharp.

The young man who came to report the letter bowed his head and said, "That person said... that he is from the imperial court."

Yang Guo's expression changed, he exchanged glances with Cui Ling and the others, and finally said shyly, "Take...invite him in."

The situation is stronger than people, I have to see it.

After a stick of incense, a young man in a blue cotton coat lowered his head and got into the somewhat low temporary tent.

He raised his head, looked around, and then sighed faintly.

"Everyone, I'm here to accept the surrender."

Zhao Jia's words were very direct and hurtful. He didn't even say that he came to persuade them to surrender, but directly said that he came to "accept surrender".

His next words hurt even more.

"My general doesn't want to kill any more."

Yang Guo's expression turned ugly.

After a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and said to Zhao Jia: "This envoy, our families are all obedient citizens of the Jin Dynasty. Kill us directly?"

Zhao Jia looked calm.

"First of all, your envoys lied about the disaster, and the inner guards came to investigate the matter. You didn't repent, and you dared to kill the inner guards. Everything is a major crime against the barbarians. How dare you say that you are innocent."

Yang Guo, Cui Ling and the others looked at each other, then gritted their teeth and spoke in unison.

"It was all done by the Li family. We were all coerced by the Li family's rebels!"

"You can keep these words and go to the capital to talk about them."

A smile appeared on Zhao Jia's face.

"In a word, surrender or wait for death?"

An elder of Fan Yang Lu's family hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Zhao Jia.
