Chapter 477: Close the Door and Release Song Que

With Song Que's joining, the so-called war of unification seemed to be accelerated in an instant.

There is no way, because in this world Song Que is the number one master of military strategy. In the original novel, Song Que swept the entire Jiangnan region with just one move. If it weren't for Fan Qinghui's shamelessness in asking Ning Daoqi to fight Song Que and both sides suffered losses, and if Kou Zhong hadn't been stupid, this world should have been conquered by Song Que!

The reason why Song Que did not become emperor himself was mainly because he had no successor. His son Song Shidao was simple and dull, to put it nicely, and cowardly and mean, to put it bluntly. He was just right for being a prince living in a corner. If he became emperor, he would definitely end up dead and his family would be wiped out.

Song Que's military strength is already unique, and now with the addition of Li Qingyuan's magical weapons, no matter it is the aerial photography drone or the thousand-mile voice transmission that can achieve communication within hundreds of miles, or the endless army of bicycles and the AK submachine gun that can directly cause a crushing blow to the grandmasters, for Song Que, it is no less than cheating.

What does it feel like when the world's top players cheat in a game?
In just half a month, Song Que conquered the entire Hebei Province. Dou Jiande was killed in battle, and all the noble families in Hebei Province were massacred!
Originally everyone thought that Li Qingyuan's method of directly confiscating property and seizing the land was bloody enough, but who would have thought that Song Que was even more extreme than someone else!
There's no way. A few days ago, when Li Qingyuan was chatting with Song Que, they talked about why, during the Three Kingdoms period, Wei, Shu and Wu were able to suppress the barbarians on all sides, but when the Western Jin Dynasty unified China, the tragedy of the Five Barbarians Invasion occurred?

Although Song Que was an expert in military strategy, he was limited by the times and could only say that there was a problem with the rulers of the Sima family. Therefore, when it came to Liu Yu's extermination of the Sima family, he fully supported it.

So Li Qingyuan directly pointed out the root cause of the chaos in the Jin Dynasty, which was that the aristocratic families were too powerful. For their own selfish reasons, they allowed foreign races to cause chaos and even fanned the flames.

Although Song Que is also from a prominent family, unlike those guys who can abandon justice for their own interests, Song Que still has some perfectionism in his heart.

At any time and in any class, there will always be one or two people who betray their own positions, but in general, the fate of these people is not good.

Even though Song Que is known as the world's number one master of military strategy, there are still various means to check and balance him in this Tang Dynasty world.

But now!
Because of Li Qingyuan's support, Song Que had no worries at all, so he started killing mode.

After all, compared to other ethnic minorities, these noble families who support the ethnic minorities in slaughtering the Han people behind the scenes are more hateful, aren't they?
Song Que is a Huang Han, and what Huang Han hate most are naturally traitors!
Under Li Qingyuan's exaggeration, he labeled all the aristocratic families in Hebei, Shandong and Guanlong as traitors. In any case, there are no good people north of the Yangtze River!

As for what I said, is there any evidence?
I'm just here to spread rumors, what evidence do you need?
Besides, in order to survive under the Hu regime over the past few hundred years, all the Jiangbei noble families have done things that helped the tyrant and acted as accomplices to the evil. If we want to find evidence, wouldn't there be plenty to go around?

Fortunately, Song Que doesn’t care whether there is evidence or not. It’s enough for him to feel that you are guilty!
Smart people all like to dwell on trivial matters, and Song Que is no exception.

When he thought about how most of the suffering that the Han people had endured over the years came from these aristocratic families that claimed to have been passed down for thousands of years, he only hated that he didn't kill enough or fast enough. It was estimated that the Eight Styles of Heavenly Sword would have to be renamed the Ashura Blood Killing Sword in the future!
So when Song Que was killing people in Hebei, the Shandong clans immediately sent representatives to meet Li Qingyuan, expressing their absolute support for all of Li Qingyuan's policies. They were willing to hand over all the hidden land, slaves and people, and even the wealth accumulated over hundreds of years. They could also list the names of the heads of the rebels. In a word, as long as Song Que was not released, everyone could talk about anything!

Li Qingyuan didn't really want to pay attention to the other party, but who could blame the two old guys in the delegation for being so proud?

Kong Yingda and Yan Zhitui are almost must-write characters in historical texts about the Tang Dynasty. They are the direct descendants of Confucius and Yan Hui respectively, and are considered the spiritual leaders of Confucianism.

The Confucian family has always been mocked as the family of surrender, and Confucianism has been called the root of national disasters. But in fact, even those who oppose Confucianism have to admit that benevolence, filial piety and propriety are the foundation of a country.

If even these most basic moral qualities are gone, then what is the difference between the Han people and those white pigs who only care about profit and have no sense of shame?
As for the Yan family, let alone Yan Zhenqing's "Eulogy for My Nephew" is enough to make everyone ashamed.

So Li Qingyuan had no choice but to meet with the two and have a cordial exchange, and finally reached an agreement!

The Shandong families handed over 90% of their land and population, and then all of it was distributed to Hebei according to proportion.

After all, these families have had hundreds of years of prestige in the local area. As long as their roots are not eradicated, they will continue to grow and develop, so it would be better to just relocate them.

Even though the Hebei noble families were slaughtered by Song Que and a river of blood flowed, because the clan records have not been compiled yet, even if Song Que named them with the genealogy, there would definitely be some that slipped through the net. So when these Shandong noble families moved over, the remnants of Hebei who felt that their ancestral property was being occupied would surely not be polite to them!
The Shandong gentry were naturally dissatisfied with this. They had been local emperors in Shandong for so many years, and had not been liquidated even during the Five Barbarians' Invasion or the establishment of the Northern Dynasties. But now they were going to be deprived of 90% of their property and relocated to Hebei?

This is simply cutting off one's own roots!
It’s just that!
Kong Yingda said that this was already the best result. Why don’t everyone try to find a way to fight against Song Que?
It's just like when American capitalists cried and shouted for Roosevelt to be in power. Although Roosevelt directly took away 90% of their income, which was tantamount to taking their lives, compared with the little mustache who wanted to send them to the chemical factory to make soap and the kind father who was going to send them to Siberia to grow potatoes, Roosevelt's policy was not out of consideration?

In just three months, Li Qingyuan took control of the Central Plains, Hebei and Shandong. Du Fuwei and Li Haitong from Jianghuai even came directly to Luoyang to accept the surrender after receiving the title of Duke!
Thus, in a blink of an eye, only Xiao Xin of Huguang and Li Yuan of Guanlong were left struggling to hold on.

As for Yu Wenzhi who murdered the previous emperor?

He was now huddled in Jiangdu City, trembling in fear, and constantly sending people to deliver letters to Li Qingyuan to express his desire to surrender, but he was still trying to bargain over his treatment.

If Yu Wenzhi didn't have such rich bargaining chips in his hand, Li Qingyuan wouldn't even bother to pay attention to him!
