Chapter 199 The end of the Shen family. Close the door and beat the dog.
After Shen Dan and the personal guards he brought were under control, Mi Yang looked at the "his subordinates" in the tent.
When the officials of the prefecture saw Mi Yang looking towards them, their faces showed fear.
Just like Shen Dan, when they came to the banquet this time, they all brought swords with them.
In addition to being a weapon, the sword is also a kind of decoration.
That's why when they entered the big tent, Mi Yang didn't ask them to take off their swords in order not to alert others.
But even though they all have swords on them now, they lack the courage to draw them out.
Their status is simply insignificant compared to Mi Yang.
In the past, they had the confidence to disobey Liu Feng and Mi Yang's orders because they had Shen Dan's support.
Now their backbone, Shen Dan, is being pinned to the ground by Mi Yang's bodyguards. They can only stay there and rage, so how can they dare to fight against Mi Yang.
Mi Yang's eyes glanced at the officials in the prefect's mansion one by one, and then he called out "Come here" like Shen Dan.
Different from Shen Dan's call, Mi Yang's voice when calling for the visitor was not loud.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the curtain of the big tent was lifted instantly, and hundreds of soldiers armed with sharp swords rushed into the main tent.
And these hundreds of soldiers aimed their sharp blades at the officials present in the prefecture's palace.
Seeing this scene full of murderous intent and feeling the coldness emanating from the blades around them, dozens of officials in the prefecture were so frightened that they all knelt down on the ground. They kowtowed to Mi Yang, who was in charge, and shouted for mercy.
.
I don't know which timid subordinate made a cry for mercy first. Under the influence of this cry for mercy, more and more cries began to sound, and finally filled the entire main tent.
The cries and beggings reached Mi Yang's ears.
Listening to the cries and pleas, Mi Yang's eyes gradually turned cold.
They are crying now. When those homeless people who were persecuted by them and Shen Dan together were crying, did they ever soften their hearts?
Tyranny is as fierce as a tiger!
Mi Yang stood up, pointed at the kneeling officials of the prefecture, and ordered to the soldiers in the tent: "Take them all down and wait for your turn."
When Mi Yang's order reached the ears of the officials in the prefecture, their cries became louder and louder.
When the soldiers in the tent came forward to take them out, they all stepped forward on their knees to beg Mi Yang for mercy.
But seeing these officials in the prefecture behaving like this, Mi Yang became more and more impatient.
He looked at the soldiers in the tent with cold eyes, waved his sleeves to them and said:
"These are "my subordinates", how can you watch them kneel down?"
"Why don't you drag them all out quickly!"
After hearing Mi Yang's order, the hundreds of soldiers in the tent were no longer polite.
They worked in groups of three and dragged the officials of the prefecture, who were squirming like maggots on the ground, all the way out of the tent like they were dragging a dead fish.
Under the rough tugging of hundreds of soldiers, the tent became quiet after a while.
After her ears were clean, Mi Yang left the main seat and came to Shen Dan who was pressed to the ground and unable to move.
He slowly knelt down and looked at Shen Dan.
Shen Dan, who was pressed to the ground, saw a pair of shoes appear in front of him and realized that Mi Yang was walking in front of him. He immediately raised his head and looked at Mi Yang with a pair of hateful eyes.
After his eyes met Mi Yang's, Shen Dan reluctantly asked angrily:
"why why!"
"Obviously I'll give you everything you want!"
Shen Dan kept repeating two sentences.
Shen Dan really couldn't understand why Mi Yang would attack him.
He believed that after Mi Yang came to Hanxing County, he was not disrespectful to Mi Yang, and his supply of military rations to Mi Yang was not untimely.
The two of them have never had any conflicts, so why does Mi Yang still have to get rid of him?
After seeing this step, Shen Dan was still asking this question, and Mi Yang felt a little disappointed.
His story just now was in vain.
Because Shen Dan was thrown to the ground, the bag containing the official seal around his waist was thrown in front of him under the connection of the ribbon.
Mi Yang reached out and picked up the bag that fell on the ground, and then under Shen Dan's gaze, he took out two seals.
There are two seals: one is the official seal of Shangyong County, which represents Shen Dan’s official position, and the other is the seal of Yuanxiang Marquis, which represents Shen Dan’s status as a marquis.
Seeing Mi Yang take away the official seal representing his identity from him, Shen Dan's reaction became even more intense.
This means that Mi Yang has officially stripped him of all his positions.
Logically speaking, Yuanxiang Marquis is a type of Liehou, and is of a higher rank than Mi Yang's Guannei Marquis, but what's the use of this?
How can a sinful person be worthy of a gold seal and purple ribbon?
Mi Yang handed the two seals to Deng Ai who was standing aside, and then he said to Shen Dan: "Because I want to be a non-contemptuous meat eater. Is this reason enough?"
Hearing what Mi Yang said, Shen Dan slowly calmed down, and then bursts of laughter burst out from his mouth.
He thought Mi Yang's reason was ridiculous.
From the moment he was pressed under Mi Yang's feet, Shen Dan knew that he had failed today, so his reaction just now was very intense.
But after venting, Shen Dan's emotions gradually calmed down.
Just because he failed, it doesn't mean that Shen failed.
His younger brother Shen Yi is still there.
Among the charges that Wang Hong just read out, all were capital crimes, so Shen Dan knew that Mi Yang had murderous intentions towards him.
Since he knew Mi Yang's intentions, Shen Dan would not make useless begging for mercy to Mi Yang like those officials in the prefecture.
Already knowing that he would die, Shen Dan became even more daring to say some things.
Shen Dan looked at Mi Yang and said, "Mi Zisheng, don't think that you are guaranteed to win."
"Even if you can capture me today and take advantage of this opportunity to capture Shangyong, my brother will receive the news soon."
"At that time, my brother will definitely not sit still and wait for death. If you arrest me today by committing crimes, my brother will seek justice for me."
"Once Hanxing County becomes unstable, if the king takes the blame, you, the prefect, will be the one to blame!"
Mi Yang was not surprised at all after hearing Shen Dan's threatening words.
What Shen Dan said was the truth, but precisely because it was the truth, Mi Yang had already taken precautions.
Mi Yang opened his mouth and told Shen Dan a fact.
"Didn't you send spies many times to inquire about the situation in my army?
Then you should be very familiar with some of the generals under my command. Didn’t you notice that one of my generals is missing in the account today?"
"As early as when you entered the camp, a battalion of soldiers under my command had already led the troops up the river. I think that my battalion of soldiers should be able to reach outside the West City by tomorrow afternoon at the latest."
"What Mr. Shen is thinking is that once the news about Shangyong reaches Xicheng, your brother will immediately hook up with Nanyang and recruit him as a foreign aid."
"But it's a pity. I'm afraid that when your brother receives the news from Shangyong City, the Han River channel outside the West City has already been blocked by our army. How can your brother still hook up with foreign aid?"
"If it weren't for the purpose of delaying time, would Mr. Shen think that I was really in a leisurely mood to drink with Mr. Shen?"
"From the moment you entered the camp, all of your Shen family's escape routes have been blocked by me!"
After Mi Yang said this, an incredible look of fear flashed through Shen Dan's eyes. How could Mi Zisheng count on every move he made!
Then Shen Dan collapsed heavily on the ground as if all his strength had been taken away.
All the reliance and hope in his heart were shattered by Mi Yang's words.
If it is true as Mi Yang said, then the Shen family is really doomed.
What Shen Dan didn't know was that Mi Yang couldn't predict the future, but he knew what the Shen brothers had done in history.
Moreover, he has Deng Ai and other think tanks around him to remind him, so it is not difficult to predict Shen Yi's actions in advance.
Seeing Shen Dan's expression, Mi Yang no longer wanted to say anything to him, so he asked Ding Feng to take Shen Dan out.
Seeing Shen Dan being dragged out by Ding Feng, who was in a state of despair and looking like a corpse, Mi Yang slowly looked away from Shen Dan.
In fact, Mi Yang originally wanted to adopt a strategy of dividing the Shen brothers because of historical impressions.
But when he arrived in Shangyong City, he discovered that perhaps Shen Dan was more settled and more loyal to Liu Bei than Shen Yi.
But what he wanted to do was something that endangered the interests of the Shen family, so it was absolutely impossible for Shen Dan to be divided.
In this case, Mi Yang can only use other methods.
After Shen Dan was dragged out, Mi Yang immediately ordered Meng Da to lead his troops to occupy Shangyong City.
Most of the officials occupying important positions in Shangyong City had been captured by Mi Yang just now.
Under this situation, even though there are thousands of Shendan's private soldiers in Shangyong City, without anyone to lead them, they cannot exert much combat effectiveness at all.
Moreover, under the confusion over the past month, the people in Shangyong City did not expect that Mi Yang, who was hosting a banquet for Shen Dan, would suddenly lead his army to launch a surprise attack on Shangyong City.
As for Mi Yang sending Meng Da there, it was because Meng Da had stayed in Shangyong City for a period of time.
Therefore, he knew where the granaries and arsenals in Shangyong City were. As long as he could control these two important areas, it would only be a matter of time before he could capture all of Shangyong City.
After Meng Da took the order and left, most of the generals in the entire tent were also taken away, and in the end only Deng Ai and a few others were left.
Seeing that things were developing as planned, Deng Ai had a relaxed smile on his face.
Deng Ai congratulated Mi Yang and said, "Soon, the ruler of the government will be able to make his own decisions."
When Mi Yang first arrived in Xing County, Han Dynasty, he faced questions from his subordinates, Lu Yi and others, and said these four words to them.
Now, one month later, this goal that was originally stated is about to be achieved.
Listening to the congratulations from Deng Ai's mouth, Mi Yang did not take it lightly. He said to Deng Ai: "Although Shen Dan has been captured, Shen Yi is still there. The overall situation is still uncertain, so we cannot take it lightly."
After saying this, Mi Yang returned to the main seat.
He ordered someone to fetch several pieces of cloth. After unfolding the first piece of cloth, he picked up a writing brush and started writing on the cloth.
After a while, a memorial table was written by Mi Yang.
Mi Yang prepared this memorial to be presented to Liu Bei.
Mi Yang was the prefect of Hanxing and the highest administrator of Hanxing County.
The prefect mounts his horse to manage the army, and dismounts his horse to manage the people. He has great autonomy.
The prefect could also appoint his own staff to form a small imperial court, which people in the county called "junchao", which was similar to the central court.
The prefect has absolute control over the administration of the county. The prefect can appoint county officials at any time, remove incompetent county officials, and hold county officials criminally responsible.
The appointment of county-level officials was originally mainly selected by the county guard from among the subordinate officials around him.
Mi Yang is qualified to punish the Shen brothers, but Shen Dan is a prince after all.
Mi Yang could take advantage of the situation and temporarily capture him, but afterward, he must also write a letter to Liu Bei to explain accordingly.
After completing the letter to Liu Bei, Mi Yang wrote several official documents in succession.
Some of these official documents were sent by Mi Yang to various places in Hanxing County in the name of the prefect to appease people's hearts.
Some of them were sent to the governors of neighboring counties to explain the situation to them. One of them was written by Mi Yang specifically to Wei Yan.
After writing these official documents, Mi Yang handed over the memorial he just wrote to Liu Bei to his personal guards.
After these personal guards knew their respective destinations, they immediately left the main tent and set off.
While Mi Yang was starting to write official documents in the main account, Meng Da had already led his army to the outside of Shangyong City.
Just as Mi Yang expected, because Shen Dan has always managed Shangyong City as his private property, most of the soldiers in Shangyong City have become Shen Dan's private soldiers.
Under such circumstances, if Shen Dan was still there, the soldiers in Shangyong City might still resist.
However, Shen Dan was not in the city now, so when Meng Da led his elite soldiers to attack Shangyong City, he was caught off guard. Shangyong City, which lost its unified command, was quickly captured by Meng Da.
But after Shangyong City was captured by Meng Da, some private soldiers belonging to the Shen family began to flee across the city toward the west city.
At this point, the Shen clan soldiers also realized that something might have happened to Shen Dan.
Being helpless, their first reaction was to look for Shen Yi.
This situation was quickly reported to Mi Yang by Meng Da.
Meng Da's advice to Mi Yang was to quickly send people to pursue the fleeing Shen clan soldiers, but Mi Yang had no such plan after receiving the news.
There were not many Shen clan soldiers who escaped, and these people's escape to Xicheng did not add much strength to Shen Yi.
Moreover, because Shangyong City is surrounded by water on three sides, Mi Yang could not completely cover up the changes in Shangyong City.
Rather than sending troops to pursue the fleeing Shen clan soldiers now, it would be better to send a large army directly towards the West City.
They've already broken their faces, so why are they trying to hide themselves?
So on the next day, under Mi Yang's order, the army in the valley camp began to march towards the west city.
Mi Yang had already ordered the army to block the Han River channel in advance, and wrote a letter to Wei Yan to inform Wei Yan of the rebellion of the Shen brothers. Under this situation, Shen Yi in the West City was already surrounded on three sides.
It's time to close the door and beat the dog.
It takes too much time to communicate and deal with some things today, so there is only one chapter today.
There was no way, my boss threatened me with year-end bonus and salary, so I could only deal with those talents.
It's the end of the year, and using the year-end bonus as a threat, completely ignoring the efforts over the past year, is really decisive.
Sorry everyone.
Good night.
