A battle that was destined to end ended without any trouble.

Fei Zhan died, and none of the 25,000 mountain Vietnamese soldiers escaped. More than 4,000 were killed, and more than 6,000 were slightly wounded. The rest surrendered.

The reason why only more than 4,000 people died was thanks to the soldiers who died first and saved their hands. They did not use cloud energy to enhance the lethality of the arrows, but only enhanced the penetrating power.

Therefore, these lightly injured Sango soldiers all had small holes as thick as thumbs on their bodies, without any major trauma.

As for those who were seriously injured and died, it can only be said that they were unlucky, and the penetration happened to be at a vital place.

In any case, after experiencing this nightmare battle, the remaining 20,000 or so Shanyue people were completely honest.

Especially the last arrow that Ju Yi performed using the Legion's cloud energy directly extinguished everyone's desire to escape.

Now these Shanyue people have become extremely well-behaved. They do whatever they are told and have no intention of escaping.

Later, under the custody of Sun Ce's troops, these Shanyue people were taken to Lujiang.

These crowds were leaderless and had no fighting spirit. Sun Ce's five hundred cavalry were enough to deal with them, not to mention the help of garrison troops from various counties along the way.

At this time, there was another massacre going on in Danyang City.

The party being massacred was still the dead soldiers and those trapped in the camp first, while the party being massacred was replaced by the escorts and young men of the wealthy gentry who planned to cause rebellion.

This battle was even smoother than the previous ones. The Zhang family immediately dug a hole and gathered these people into the courtyards. They also found excuses to invite the leaders of each family to get together alone. As a result, they were all killed first.

The soldiers shot him indiscriminately and died.

Except for some of the dead soldiers, most of the remaining people surrendered directly without a leader.

After all, most of them are just ordinary people who were dragged here by force without using their hoes, and their fighting skills are not very high.

These people were divided into a small group by the army led by Huang Zhong who came later and were directly pressed to Jinling for labor reform.

As for the remaining main force brought by Huang Zhong, they were all used to assist the trapped camp and the first climbers to clean up the remaining Shanyue remnants hidden in the mountains in Danyang County.

If Lujiang and Jiujiang are the bridgeheads of Yangzhou, then Danyang and Wujun are the core of Yangzhou.

Jinling, which Yuan Shu planned to make his capital in the future, was located in Danyang, so Yuan Shu naturally had to clean up these two counties.

In fact, the best part of Jiangdong is the area located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, which is also known as the Yangtze River Delta in later generations. It includes parts of the four counties of Lujiang, Jiujiang, Danyang and Wujun.

The six states of Yangzhou are like a microcosm of the entire Han Dynasty. The four northern counties occupy about half of the territory, but account for more than three-quarters of Yangzhou's population and resources. The remaining two southern counties, although they have a large territory, are mostly

A barren land that has not been transformed.

Yuan Shu naturally knew that the two counties in the south would be a land of plenty if they were slightly transformed, but now he could not spare the time and energy to transform the two counties in the south, so he could only focus his main energy on the four counties in the north.

In accordance with Yuan Shu's arrangement, Huang Zhong assisted Gao Shun and Ju Yi in the four northern counties, following the instructions of the nearby people, to capture the Shanyue people from hilltop to hilltop, and then sent them to Lujiang River.

Yuan Shu, a native of Shanyue, had no time to take care of them for the time being. He asked them to do hard work first, building water conservancy projects or building roads.

After all, these people are in good health, work quickly, and don't need wages. They only need to have enough food. It is not too convenient, and Gu Yong and Jushou often quarrel over the distribution of these people.

Yuan Shu had no time to care about this, he was busy with a more important thing.

This time the war between the aristocratic families and the Shanyue people's rebellion has come to an end, but the matter is not over at all.

Yuan Shu is busy looting the homes of these aristocratic families, and is also busy stabilizing the situation, appeasing other aristocratic families, and distributing new benefits.

Under Yuan Shu's command, Guo Jia's assistance, and Zhang Xuan's secret help, the entire Yangzhou was suddenly enveloped in a bloody storm.

Yuan Shu showed no mercy at all to these aristocratic families who couldn't see the situation clearly, didn't know how to restrain themselves, and had no bottom line.

Kill those who deserve to be killed, enslave those who deserve to be enslaved, and confiscate those whose homes should be raided.

Countless children of aristocratic families were questioned and beheaded in the street after their charges were cleared, and their heads fell to the ground, enough to form a mountain.

These aristocratic families dared to communicate with Shanyue. Naturally, none of them were good people. After the charges were made clear, all the relevant people were beheaded in public. Instead of causing panic among the people, it actually made them secretly happy.

The reaction of the people was not beyond Yuan Shu's expectation. After all, everything Yuan Shu did was justified and beneficial to the people.

Although the common people are simple but not stupid, they know very well who treats them well.

Yuan Shu has done so many practical things and has already won the hearts of the people. This time, he eliminated some Shanyue rebels and the aristocratic families who colluded with Shanyue, and the people were even more applauded.

But unlike the common people, the aristocratic families are now silent.

Although they had known for a long time that Yuan Shu was in a great position, some aristocratic families still had illusions, believing that the rule and management of Jiangdong could not be separated from the aristocratic family. Even though Yuan Shu was not interested in him, he did not dare to really go against the Jiangdong aristocratic family.

But now, the rolling heads and endless killings all prove Yuan Shu's terror and strength as well as his own innocence.

It's not that the other party doesn't dare to touch him, it's just that he doesn't have a good reason and is too lazy to touch him.

Countless noble families were wiped out, but as a result, the entire Jiangdong was still very stable, with no signs of chaos at all.

What frightens the aristocratic families the most is that Yuan Shu simply and completely eradicated the Zhang family, one of the four major aristocratic families, with such ease that he did not encounter any obstacles or difficulties!

The other three major aristocratic families had no reaction at all. The most terrifying thing was that the Lu family was still secretly helping Yuan Shu.

No matter how much you say it, it is not as clear as the reality. The results of Yuan Shu's wave of killings directly made the families in Jiangdong realize the reality clearly.

Yuan Shu, the situation has been achieved!

The remaining three major families have already understood the situation and made their choices. If they don't join them, they will slowly fall behind the other families or even die.

And Yuan Shu is not the kind of cruel tyrant who can't tolerate a grain of salt in his eyes. He is very tolerant towards the aristocratic family.

As long as his bottom line is not violated, Yuan Shu is happy to let the family drink some soup with him.

After all, in this era, if you want to manage the world, you must not do without a noble family.

The vacant official positions left by the Zhang family and other rebellious families were divided into two parts by Yuan Shu, one part was reserved for poor families, and the other was given directly to aristocratic families.

Of the latter portion, most of it was eaten by the three major families, and other families also drank some soup.

Yuan Shu knew very well the principle of taking advantage of the situation and sharing the benefits.

These spare parts are useless if you keep them yourself, so why not give them away as a favor.

This is also the reason why the other three aristocratic families looked at the destruction of the Zhang family with indifference without any reaction, and instead helped Yuan Shu stabilize the situation.

Yuan Shu did not harm their interests, but instead allowed them to make a small profit.

As for Yuan Shu's potential threat increasing and the Jiangdong family group's power weakening, it's not that they don't know, but they have nothing to do.

After all, they all know how powerful Yuan Shu is, and Yuan Shu's threat has always existed. They obviously have no ability to resist, and have no other choice but to compromise.

Now that the Zhang family has been destroyed, it only makes this situation more obvious.

Opposing Yuan Shu now is like a moth flying into a flame, hitting an egg against a stone, and moving closer to Yuan Shu is their best choice now.

Sometimes things are just like this. It seems difficult, but as long as you have something to rely on, take advantage of the situation, unite the interests of the majority to suppress a small group of people, and then learn to share the interests equally, you can take control of the situation bit by bit, strengthen yourself, and stabilize

situation.
