    "That's right, compared to Li Xin and Li Qian, Li Xin is more dangerous, so our primary goal is to get rid of Li Xin. After killing Li Xin, Li Qian is nothing to worry about."

    Han Ce explained.

    "Then how can you be sure that Li Xin will come?" Sun Yu asked.

    "Because we're here, Li Xin will definitely come." Han Ce said confidently.

    "Then why didn't you take down Qiushan City and ambush Li Xin?"

    Sun Yu felt that if it was to ambush Li Xin, he could completely ambush Li Xin in the past after taking Qiushan City, and there was no need to give up Qiushan City now.

    "No, Qiushan City is the bait we used to lure Li Xin to take the bait. If the bait is gone, will the fish still take the bait?"

    Han Ce asked with a smile.

    Sun Yu also understood.

    If Li Xin knew that Qiushan City was lost, he would not come to support, because it would be meaningless.

    "So we have to keep Qiushan City."

    Han Ce said.

    ?The three armies withdrew, quickly evacuated, like a wind and a cloud, and Li Gan was stunned, not understanding what happened.

    "The king's enemy troops have withdrawn, could this be something that happened?"

    The guard of Qiushan City asked Li Gan.

    Li Gan glanced at the evacuated enemy army, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised. It seemed that Fengyanling had succeeded.

    As long as the imperial army of Feng Yanling is resisted, these people in front of them are like water without roots, and they can only wait for death if they don't evacuate.

    The army withdrew.

    Han Ce immediately ordered Sun Yu and Qi Zheng to find a place to ambush.

    Sure enough, in less than half a day, Li Xin came towards Qiushan City with a quick march.

    "kill!"

    Li Xin arrived with soldiers and horses, and Han Ce ordered the three armies to attack again.

    "Han Ce?"

    Li Xin did not expect that Han Ce would ambush and wait for him here. Could it be that Han Ce had already guessed that he would support Qiushan City.

    "Surrender, Li Xin."

    Han Ce said with a smile.

    Surrounded by the three armies, although Li Xin also had soldiers and horses, compared with Han Ce's army, Li Xin's soldiers and horses seemed much weaker.

    Li Xin's soldiers and horses are only 10,000 defenders in Bashan City, compared with Han Ce's army.

    "I will not surrender to the death."

    Li Xin let out angrily.

    "In this case, don't blame me for being ruthless." Han Ce sent an order to annihilate the enemy.

    The two sides fought and not only disappeared for half the time, Li Xin was once again ambushed by Han Ce and defeated.

    "Duke please go first!"

    One person rushed to Li Xin and said.

    Li Xin fled from the chaos with a few people.

    "Master Hou, why did Li Xin fall into an ambush so easily?" Sun Yu asked. According to Li Xin's ability, it was impossible for him not to notice that there was an ambush here.

    "That's right, it's impossible for him not to notice it, but it's a pity he didn't calm down. It seems that Qiushan City has something he cares about."

    Han Ce guessed.

    "what?"

    "Li Gan is in Qiushan City." Han Ce guessed, which is why Li Xin supported Qiushan City so desperately.

    "Master Hou, do we still want to chase?"

    "Don't chase after the poor!"

    Han Ce said that Li Xin was nothing to worry about, and now they can focus all their energy on Qiushan City.

    Ten days.

    Han Ce took Qiushan City.

    Li Gan abandoned the city and fled.

    "It's really a pity that I couldn't catch Li Gan!"

    Sun Yu said that as long as Li Gan was caught, everything would be over, but it was a pity that Li Gan escaped.

    "Although Li Gan was not caught, he has already been severely injured. Next, we just need to eat slowly." Han Ce said.

    Two months later, Han Ce's army pushed to Dingchang City, and Li Qian had no choice but to retreat to Yanling Pass

    Beijing.

    "Your Majesty, many local nobles have written letters recently, hoping that the Emperor will stop the political reform." One person handed over the memorial in his hand to Xiao Yanjing.

    Xiao Yanjing took the memorial and put it on the table without looking at it.

    A bookshelf was almost filled with memorials to stop the reform and strengthen the country, but Xiao Yanjing didn't even read it.

      "I said before that reform is the way to strengthen the country, and it is for the sake of future generations. It must not be shaken." Xiao Yanjing said seriously.

    "But if you offend those nobles, the imperial court may not be able to gain a foothold." Someone suggested.

    When Emperor Taizu raised his army back then, he got the support of those nobles. They were the root of Daliang's founding of the country and the foundation of the court.

    Over the years, although these families are not above the court, the court has been giving them the benefits they deserve.

    How could those people agree to withdraw these benefits suddenly now?

    Moreover, many relatives in those families are local officials, and more than half of the county guards in Daliang counties are from nobles.

    These people cannot afford to be offended, if offended, Daliang may be in chaos.

    At this time, Han Ce is leading an army to destroy Li Gan, so the backyard cannot be set on fire now.

    Xiao Yanjing stared at the words of some people in front of him, and he understood that these people were thinking that Han Ce was not here, so that he could stop the reform.

    "Then I will tell you today that I must take back the rights of the nobility."

    Xiao Yanjing said.

    This matter must be done and must not be changed.

    These aristocrats rely on the credit of their ancestors to be lazy and eat too much. They are the moths of the beams. They must get rid of them, even if it shakes the foundation of the country.

    If these moths are not completely cleaned up.

    Daliang can never become stronger.

    "Your majesty must never shake the foundation of the country, and the country is in danger."

    "Then what do you think should be done?" Xiao Yanjing asked everyone.

    "The emperor should appease the nobles and return what they should have." One person stood up and suggested that the court should appease these nobles.

    "Really? I remember that you are of noble origin?"

    "Your Majesty, I have no selfish intentions, what I do is for the country!"

    "What a selfless and loyal minister, Feng Kui, tell everyone how much the court gives to these nobles every year?" Xiao Yanjing asked Feng Kui to tell everyone about the situation.

    "Follow the order!"

    Feng Kui took a step forward.

    "Your Majesty, the grace that the imperial court bestows on the nobles every year is two-thirds of my tax revenue."

    Feng Kui said, everyone didn't speak, this is a big statistic, two-thirds of the tax, tantamount to Liang Chaotang getting nothing.

    "Did you hear that? Two-thirds of the tax? If the money was used in useful places, such as training troops and building rivers, my Daliang would have prospered long ago."

    Xiao Yanjing said.

    This is why I insisted on unplugging the nobles.

    The nobles are a group of greedy people.

    They don't have any credit, but they get the most.

    "Their ancestors made meritorious service when I was Emperor Taizu, but this does not mean that their descendants can also enjoy it. Let me tell you, if future generations do not have meritorious deeds, they will not be able to enjoy the grace brought by the meritorious deeds of their ancestors."

    Xiao Yanjing said.

    "The emperor is holy!"

    Feng Kui said.

    The nobles should rectify it.

    "I eat three meals a day here, with simple tea and light food, and live frugally, but what about those nobles? Build a mansion, have ten thousand hectares of fertile land, eat, drink and have fun, why?"

    Xiao Yanjing seemed to be complaining.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
