Seven days later, the White Robe Army successfully withdrew to Chang'an City.
At the same time, Xiao He also agreed to serve as prime minister of the Sui Dynasty.
It's just that all the officials of the sixth rank and above of the Sui Dynasty were completely killed in the massacre at that time.
The noble families of the Great Sui Dynasty were calm on the surface, but in fact they were already burning with anger. The army of 30,000 noble families had just arrived at Guimen Pass not long ago.
The first one came to protect the child, and Han Qinhu forcibly controlled him.
The leaders of some aristocratic families were killed that night.
This 30,000-strong army was also dispersed and distributed to Yangzhou and the reoccupied cities.
Yang Qiu didn't want to do anything too great, because in this situation, he still had to rely on the talents of some aristocratic families. Of course, the world was not really a piece of iron.
He Yu Wenhua and Yu colluded together. They belonged to a first-rate family, but the weakest one was also a second-rate family.
Those third-rate families simply do not have this qualification.
But among the 30,000 troops, the third-rate families also contributed their efforts.
Yang Qiu chose a compromise method, which was to appoint some heads of third-rate families as officials of the Sui Dynasty.
I want to use this to support those third-rate families to deal with the original first-rate and second-rate families.
However, those third-rate families didn't buy it at all, or they were afraid, so they declined with various reasons.
In the Tianxuan Hall, Yang Qiu held a banquet to welcome Xiao He and Chen Qingzhi and his brothers from the White Robe Army.
Xiao He looked to be only about 26 years old, younger than Queen Mother Xiao, but according to the family's seniority, he was indeed her uncle.
"Both of them are extremely intelligent Qilin talents. I am very sad now. Of course, I am not referring to the rebellion of Tang King Li Yuan;
But there is currently no one available in the court. I kindly asked the heads of those third-rate families to become court officials, but they dared to refuse. Moreover, there were two generals, Han Qinhu, who came to protect the children before. They forcibly took away the 30,000 soldiers of that family. Scattered to major cities in Yangzhou;
Although they were temporarily suppressed on the surface, it actually left a terrible hidden danger. As far as I know, the major families are now united together and secretly contacting their respective subordinates, trying to force those who were stationed there. The city was included under their command, which showed that they wanted to go against the imperial court;
And there are also some people who are contacting Tang Wang Li Yuan. Fortunately, the gate of hell is still under the control of the court, but now I really don’t know what to do;
In addition to Chang'an City, there are a total of 17 cities in Yangzhou. Nowadays, these 17 cities are filled with the armies of famous families. If you want to take them all back, you can only use force. "
After Xiao He heard Yang Qiu's words, he looked at Chen Qingzhi in front of him and did not take the initiative to speak.
Chen Qingzhi said immediately when he saw this.
"His Majesty's original plan was to support those third-rate families to deal with those second-rate and first-rate families. On the surface, this idea is indeed a good one;
However, the reason why a family can be called a noble family is that it has accumulated nearly hundreds of years of foundation. These third-rate families have just emerged and have insufficient foundation;
Moreover, they are also afraid that His Majesty will not be able to defeat these aristocratic families. When the time comes, these third-rate aristocratic families will become His Majesty's cannon fodder. On the other hand, I am also afraid that His Majesty will deal with them after using them;
After thinking again and again, I decided to stand still. Everything in the world is nothing more than a word of profit. Your Majesty, you can currently win over two aristocratic families. There are a total of two;
One is naturally the Xiao family of Prime Minister Xiao He, and the other is the Xin family, although it is a third-rate family. Xin Tiange, the Xin family's family, fell ill not long ago, and now the position of the head of the family is obtained by his son Xin Wenli;
As far as I know, this Xin Wenli is a martial artist at the peak of his innate nature. His new family is also a well-known family in Jiangling City, and he is married to the Dongfang family in Jiangling City;
These two families are both small families, but they have a decisive influence in Jiangling City. Jiangling is only a small place but it is connected to Caizhou;
Your Majesty, why not simply make Xin Wenli the governor of Caizhou? There are very few innate warriors in our Sui Dynasty. If we can win over this peak innate warrior, it will be beneficial and harmless to us;
I don’t believe that the position of the governor of Caizhou is not enough to attract him. As long as there are enough benefits, someone will always take risks. If the new family wants to develop into a first-class family, it will take at least hundreds of years, but now there is one An excellent opportunity, as long as he is willing to become the governor of Caizhou;
Then his new family can become the top family of the Sui Dynasty in one fell swoop. His Majesty will reward him with a gold medal for immunity from death. As long as it is not a serious crime of rebellion, he will be exempted from death;
If Xin Wenli accepts it, let him recruit his own troops and defend Caizhou. "
Seeing this, Xiao He also spoke.
"Your Majesty, this is indeed the only way at the moment. I have heard that the Qin Empire had Shang Yang's reform. At the beginning, Shang Yang used the method of erecting trees at the city gates, and people started to believe him;
There must be brave men under heavy rewards. As long as Xin Wenli makes this start, those small families will surely surrender. Your Majesty must also issue a recruitment order. Regardless of birth or origin, all talented people can join the court as officials. However, as soon as this order was issued, he was destined to become enemies with those big families. "
After Yang Qiu heard Xiao He's words, he stood up excitedly.
"Nowadays, those big aristocratic families have formed a blood feud with our Sui Dynasty. Our Sui Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles. At this time, we can no longer care about so much, so we will do as the two beloved ministers say;
The recruitment order will be handed over to Prime Minister Xiao He once, and the new ceremony will be handed over to Marshal Chen. I have sent Yang Xiuluo to lead 3000 cavalry to Taizhou first;
At that time, Marshal Chen will lead the white robe army and rush to Taizhou together. If those Zhou armies are attacking Youzhou as the queen said, we only need to start from Taizhou at this time and gradually take back the land of Fuzhou step by step;
It can form a pincer attack from both front and rear, eradicating Li Yuan's troops in one go. After Fuzhou was tortured by those Jurchens, it is estimated that there is not much food and grass left. Li Yuan leads an army of 100,000 people and it is not believed that the food and grass can sustain it.
We have the Xi family clan here. In order to support Guimen Pass, we have prepared nearly a million stones of food and grass. It can be said that there is a lot of food and grass, and we can completely spend it with them. "
