    "Where is Sima Yi?" Yan Liang asked loudly while holding his nerve.  *Literature Hall*

    "That Sima Yi blocked the road with his clothes and armor and blocked the pursuit of his subordinates. Although his subordinates intercepted and killed more than ten thousand enemy invaders, they made Sima Yi escape." Deng Ai looked a little ashamed.

    Sima Yi, this kid, still escaped.

    Yan Liang was a little disappointed. He originally expected that in today's battle, he would be able to complete his task, completely eradicate Sima Yi and end this world chaos, but he didn't expect that at the last moment, Sima Yi, a cunning wolf, would run away.

    "However, my son captured Sima Yi's queen, Zhang, and his two young sons, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao." Deng Ai hurriedly reported the good news.

    This good news really lifted Yan Liang¡¯s spirits.

    "It doesn't matter if Sima Yi runs away, but I got your wife and children. If you want to run away, I will tell you to cut off your children and grandchildren, and I will tell you to run away."

    Thinking of this, Yan Liang suddenly felt happy and couldn't help laughing.

    "Deng Ai has made meritorious service in this battle. According to my will, he will be granted the title of Marquis of the Countryside." Yan Liang was so happy that he rewarded Deng Ai greatly.

    Deng Ai was overjoyed and quickly thanked the emperor for his kindness.

    With the capture of Jinyang, Jin's inner circle has fallen into Yan Liang's hands. Although Sima Yi has escaped, he is nothing more than a bandit and is nothing to fear.

    Yan Liang then ordered the army to stay in Jinyang and was not in a hurry to attack the north immediately. He also ordered the soldiers who had worked hard for several months to rest and recuperate.

    Jinyang is the heart of Sima Yi's Jin Kingdom. The grain, grass and money accumulated in the treasury are countless, but now they have all fallen into Yan Liang's hands.

    The day after entering the city, Yan Liang took all the Jinyang treasury and rewarded the soldiers of the three armies.

    As soon as the divine grace came out, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were all happy and encouraged. Everyone was grateful to Yan Liang and praised Yan Liang for knowing rewards and punishments.

    The second thing.  Yan Liang ordered that the homes of powerful families in Jinyang City be confiscated.

    Sima Yi represents a powerful family. There are so many famous families gathered in his capital city of Jinyang. The more than 100 people who were beheaded by Yan Liang in the court that day were just representatives of these famous families.

    Yan Liang's temperament has always been to eradicate the roots. Of course, he would not be satisfied with just taking the heads of one or two people from these families who were against him.

    Search your home!

    Yan Liang will use the most thunderous means to uproot these wealthy families entrenched in Jinyang.  Give them no chance to rise again.

    The order was passed, and the city of Jinyang was once again a bloody mess. For those wealthy families who believed in their nobility, the city of Jinyang at this time was like an Asura hell.

    According to Yan Liang's will, the wealthy family was copied.  All the men were sent to Liangzhou to work with the Qiang and Hu slaves to build a road from Chang'an to Dunhuang, leading to the Western Regions.

    Among the female relatives of the aristocratic families, those with outstanding beauty were selected and rewarded to the officers and soldiers of the three armies, and the most beautiful ones were sent to prostitution camps.  The rest were also sent to Liangzhou for road construction.

    Within a few days, nearly a hundred wealthy families in Jinyang City were confiscated and exterminated.

    As for the money confiscated after the house was ransacked, it was in the hundreds of millions.  The number actually exceeded the palace treasury left by Sima Yi.

    Yan Liang had to admit that the Jin State under Sima Yi's rule was indeed a paradise for wealthy families in such a troubled time.  The assets of these powerful people are still increasing, and the degree of accumulation even exceeds that in peacetime.  It can be seen how unscrupulously these powerful men plundered the people under Sima Yi's connivance and protection.

    For these ill-gotten gains, Yan Liang used part of them to provide relief to the victims, and the rest was of course collected into the treasury to replenish the treasury of Da Chu.

    Taiyuan County, where Jinyang is located, is an anointed land, and its land is the richest land in the entire Bingzhou. Except for some of the fields in Taiyuan County that are owned by the government, most of the fields are also owned by wealthy families as private property.  As for the local people, most of them became powerful tenants, and the number of homesteaders was very small.

    Yan Liang confiscated the powerful family property, which naturally included tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land.

    A few days later, Yan Liangsui issued an order to implement the land equalization system in Bingzhou. According to the number of Dingkou and the quality of the land, all the copied land was awarded to local farmers.

    Yan Liang¡¯s move is precisely to include all farmers in Bingzhou into national household registration and become self-cultivating farmers who pay grain to the state.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The more homesteaders there were, it symbolized the consolidation of imperial power, a strong country and a weak and powerful country.

    On the contrary, the fewer farmers there are, it indicates that the imperial power is constantly weakened, local powerful people annex land, privately employ slaves and maids, and the power gradually expands.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? When the lost land becomes a refugee, and one responds to a hundred people and embarks on the road of rebellion, those powerful powerful people will jump out, take advantage of the east wind of the refugee rebellion, and take the opportunity to pick the peaches of dynasty change.

    As a time traveler, Yan Liang is familiar with history, so it is naturally impossible to allow the powerful strength of the family to override the imperial power and threaten him, and even the rule of his descendants.

    Therefore, Yan Liangcai wanted to implement the land equalization system, which fundamentally blocked the expansion of the family.

    When Yan Liang was in Jinyang to reform Jin's harsh rule, Xizuo sent back information that Sima Yi had fled to Yanmen County in northern Shanxi via the Luliang Trail.

    After the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Jinyang, even if Sima Yi escaped to Yanmen alive, there were only more than 3,000 remaining soldiers under his command.

    If you include the troops of Han Meng and Sima Lang in Daijun, as well as the soldiers from the counties in northern Shanxi, the remaining troops in Sima Yi's hands do not exceed 20,000.

    A mere 20,000 remnant soldiers were nothing compared to Yan Liang¡¯s 300,000-strong army.

    Of course, Sima Yi knew he was outmatched. After escaping to Yanmen, he immediately sent people outside the fortress to ask Tuoba Liwei for help, hoping that these Hu chiefs could send troops to rescue him.

    It is a pity that Tuoba Liwei is currently caught in the civil strife in Xianbei and has no time to spare.

    Tuoba Liwei originally wanted to take advantage of Kebi Neng being captured by the Chu army to annex the central Xianbei in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, Yan Liang released Kebi Neng and defeated the barbarians with one move, which disrupted Tuoba Liwei's plan.  deploy.

    Although Ke Bineng lost an arm, and his Souchong tribe lost nearly 10,000 elite men in the battle of Yangyi, although he could not fight on horseback, his military strategy was still there, and the Souchong tribe's strength did not suffer a fatal blow.

    Pretending, the broken-armed Kebineng led his tribe and stubbornly blocked the joint attack of the Xianbei tribes in the west led by Tuoba Liwei, dragging the war on the grassland into a protracted situation.

    Tuoba Li was able to eliminate Bu Kebineng, a serious concern.  How could they mobilize troops and horses to help Sima Yi, the down-and-out leader of the Jin Dynasty.

    Sima Yi, who was entrenched in the remote county of Yanmen, had his confidant Prime Minister Jia Kui beheaded, and his wife and children were taken captive by Yan Liang. He had no generals and troops at his side, and the Xianbei people were slow to come to his aid. This ambitious Sima Yi  The evil wolf has fallen into a dilemma with no way out.

    Yan Liang rested in Jinyang for seven days.  An army of 2,780,000 people is preparing to march to northern Shanxi in a mighty manner and completely wipe out the remaining enemies.

    Before entering the army, Yan Liang issued a proclamation, enumerating Sima Yi's crimes.  He called on the officials in the counties in northern Shanxi not to help Zhou and Jie anymore, but to offer Sima Yi's head and submit to Chu.

    ???????????????????????? Otherwise, the army will pass through, ransack homes and destroy families, without mercy.

    This is Yan Liang¡¯s message.  Naturally, it has achieved remarkable results. Now one person can see that no one can stop Da Chu from unifying the world, and he will continue to resist.  There is only a dead end.

    Although those powerful families in northern Shanxi know that they are the target of Yan Liang's attack, once northern Shanxi falls, their interests will suffer a heavy blow.

    ¡°But they also understand.  Loss of interests is more important than loss of life.

    Returned to Da Chu.  Life can still be saved, but if you continue to resist, you will lose both your life and property, and your home will be ransacked and destroyed.

    After weighing the pros and cons, the powerful families in northern Shanxi naturally made a choice quickly.

    Therefore, when Yan Liang's army had not yet launched, the counties in the north of Taiyuan County, including Yangqu, Langmeng, and Yuxian, changed their flags one after another and sent letters of surrender to Jinyang.

    Almost half of the Xinxing counties in the north of Taiyuan County, including Jiuyuan where the county government is located, as well as Dingxiang, Yunzhong, Huyan and other Xinxing counties, all rebelled against Sima Yi out of fear and surrendered to Yan Liang.

    Yan Liang effortlessly brought half of Sima Yi's remaining territory into his territory with just one statement. This is the power of the general trend.

    Anyone, except the brainwashed fools and loyalists, will make wise choices when faced with irreversible trends.

    Although Sima Yi is known as the representative of the family, at this moment of destruction, in order to protect themselves, those family members naturally chose to abandon Sima Yi without hesitation, and even went to Yan Liang, the family's enemy.

    This is the power of the general trend.

    Sima Yi lost half of his territory before fighting, and Sima Yi's spirit suffered another heavy blow. In desperation, he had no choice but to order his brother Sima Lang to strictly control Daijun.

    At the same time, Sima Yi sent troops to occupy Pingcheng and guard the pass into Yanmen to prevent Yanmen counties from defecting to Yan Liang.

    Although Sima Yi took various measures, in Yan Liang's view, everything he did was just a desperate struggle.

    Not long after the message was issued, Yan Liang ordered the army to set off and march towards Yanmen.

    Forward Wen Chou, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Zhang Renshu generals, united 100,000 front troops, drove northward, and took Yanmen directly.

    The more than 100,000 Chinese troops led by Yan Liang were preparing to follow up. Before the troops were sent out, Yan Liang wanted to give Sima Yi a gift.

    In the Jinluan Hall, two boys, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, were escorted to the hall.

    The two Sima family brats always talked about "killing" Yan Liang when they were princes. Now as prisoners, when they finally saw Yan Liang with their own eyes, they were frightened to death and terrified.

    Zhou Cang didn't need to scold him, Master Sima took his younger brother and knelt down in front of the hall, kicking his buttocks so high that he didn't dare to make a sound.

    Yan Liang looked down at the two worthless guys and sneered: "Sima Yi's two little brats, I am very compassionate and will give you a chance to choose. Divide your body with five horses or cut into pieces with a thousand knives. You can choose how you want to die."  ¡±

    As soon as the words came out, the two little boys were so frightened that they almost wet their pants. They kowtowed to Yan Liang repeatedly and begged for mercy.

    A sarcastic sneer appeared on the corner of Yan Liang's mouth, and he winked at Zhou Cang.

    Zhou Cang then sent an order and ordered the sergeant to throw the two ring-headed knives in front of the two brothers.

    The two brothers were terrified. Looking at the knife on the ground, they thought Yan Liang was going to take them to commit suicide.

    "Don't worry, I won't let you commit suicide."

    The two brothers were slightly relieved, but their faces were blank, not knowing what Yan Liang meant.

    At this time, Yan Liang said in a cold tone, word by word: "Among the two of you, I only allow one to survive. Pick up the knife. Whoever is more capable will be the one who survives."
