Chapter 29 The Great Purge

After Zhang Fei's defeat, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei never questioned Zhang Ming's training methods.

After carefully observing the training, they found that, as Zhang Ming said, the soldiers were very obedient during the military training.

On the fifth day after Zhang Ming came back, Zhu Zi came to report again and said, "Instructor, there is news from the city that those aristocratic families want to rebel."

"Second brother, third brother, we have work to do, this is an opportunity to control Liaodong in one fell swoop."

Most of the aristocratic families gathered in Xiangping City, as long as they are all solved, then the whole Liaodong will have the final say.

"Zhuzi, you go into the city immediately and cooperate with Liu Daneng and Liu Gen. Once the opponent makes a move, you open the city gate, and we will naturally go in to suppress the rebellion."

The aristocratic families in the city thought that what they did was very secretive, and the most important thing was that Li Tan belonged to them.

And Li Tan's officers at all levels are also their people.

Zhang Ming brought two thousand troops in and trained with them, but they all trained and walked around as a whole, and they also organized the internal affairs of the barracks and so on.

So they are not afraid at all, thinking that they have mastered the entire army.

So, taking advantage of Zhang Ming's absence in Liaodong, they planned to wipe out all Zhang Ming's people, so that Zhang Ming would be left alone when he returned.

Just a lonely family, and many of the whole Liaodong will be controlled by them.

After Liu Daneng and Liu Gen received the news, they have been in the barracks.

There were about 4000 officers and soldiers. After more than a month of training, Liu Daneng and the others had controlled half of the troops and organized them.

The rest are grouped separately, but people are also sent to train them.

That night, many aristocratic families invited Li Tan over.

"General Li, who will launch a mutiny tomorrow night and purge Zhang Ming, who makes him so ignorant that he refuses to cooperate." Xu Chao said to Li Tan.

Li Tan enjoyed it very much, now everyone has to rely on the military power in his hands.

"Don't worry, this prefect is a fool. He sent a group of soldiers without bringing a single officer. This is equivalent to giving me the army. Now I can control all the troops." Although Li Tan is not very in the barracks, he controls all officers.

After everyone discussed and agreed to start an incident, Li Tan took action, and these aristocratic families supported it.

On the second day, Xiangping City was the same as before, without any special changes.

In the evening, all the aristocratic families gathered at Xu Chao's house.

The Xu family is the largest family in Liaodong, and everyone follows the lead of the Xu family.

"Patriarch, there is news from Li Tan that he has assembled his officers and headed to the barracks."

Xu Chao laughed out loud when he heard it, and said to everyone: "Liaodong will always be our Liaodong. No matter who the imperial court changes to be the prefect, he will be nothing without our support."

"What Patriarch Xu said is true."

"As Patriarch Xu said."

"We all listen to Patriarch Xu."

Xu Chao is very proud of the iron-clad Liaodong, the flowing prefect, and they can always dominate Liaodong.

Zhuzi has arranged for more than 100 people to wait around the gate of the city.

And Zhang Ming and the others also arrived at the gate of the city. This time he brought Guan Zhang and two people with him, as well as a thousand troops.

"Quick, open the city gate."

Zhuzi sent more than 100 people to rush up, and quickly controlled the soldiers at the gate of the city. Some of these soldiers were their own people, and some were former officers and soldiers.

Control the city gate and open the city gate.

"Come on, let's go directly to the barracks, Zhuzi, you take people to surround Xu's house, and no one is allowed to escape."

When Zhang Ming and the others entered the city, Li Tan also made a move.

Li Tan took a group of officers and wanted to control the army.

"Soldiers, we suspect that there are spies of bandits in the army, and now we want you all to surrender and wait for screening."

After Li Tan let the officers enter the barracks, he ordered Liu Daneng and the others to disarm.

The officers gave separate orders, but no one moved.

Liu Daneng swept his tiger eyes, stepped out and said: "Disarm, we need the order of the prefect. The prefect will come back immediately. Everyone stays put and waits for the order of the prefect."

Li Tan's officers came together to give an order to lead the army to disarm and leave, but no one carried it out.

"Do you want to rebel? Disarm immediately." Li Tan's officers at all levels were anxious, why did the order not move.

Li Tan found that he couldn't command these troops at all.

There is still a part of the army that he can command, which is the part that was eliminated before.

Li Tan has no way out, he offended the prefect, if he can't succeed tonight, he will also offend those aristocratic families, he can't please both sides, his end will be miserable.

"Take whoever you can and attack me. They don't have any generals, so they are not our opponents."

Li Tan had no choice but to attack with about 2000 men.

Liu Daneng and Liu Gen had already made preparations.

"Brothers, the Liaodong prefect is the biggest. They don't have orders from the prefect. Attacking us is rebellion."

"Follow me and kill these rebels."

Liu Daneng, Liu Gen, and Zhang Ming's original descendants who were scattered in the army immediately took out their weapons and charged at the opponent.

However, the original officers and soldiers in the city, led by their instructors, also followed suit.

After more than a month of training, the effect is very good.

Prohibition is the basic situation.

Immediately, Li Tan's side was stunned, especially Zhang Ming's original army, which was powerful and had the experience of beating them to pieces, so they were very brave.

"The prefect is here, and the rebels surrender immediately."

Not long after the war started, Zhang Ming arrived with his army.

Guan Zhang followed him and killed him directly.

The three of them led a group of tigers and wolves to kill them.

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, the two killing gods, were thrown into the crowd and turned on their backs.

Both sides attacked together, and Li Tan's side immediately collapsed.

"This prefect is here, who dares to rebel."

Taking the opportunity, Zhang Ming shouted, and many people on Li Tan's side immediately dropped their weapons and surrendered.

Soon, the scene was under control, and all the rebels surrendered.

"Arrest all the culprits, and temporarily put the rest in custody, and release them home after the matter is over."

Zhang Mingyi said that those soldiers who were arrested did not dare to resist.

"Where are the pillars?"

"Subordinates are here."

Zhang Ming looked around and said, "Immediately send troops to seal off all the streets and arrest all those rebellious families."

The big purge has begun.

When the army rushed into Xu's house, Xu's house was still celebrating, and it was still dreaming of the spring and autumn dream of being the master of Liaodong.

Zhang Ming's attack was very ruthless this time. The army controlled all the streets, and then ransacked the houses of each family.

Sixty percent of the entire family in Liaodong will be controlled by Zhang Ming.

These people control most of the land in Liaodong. At the beginning Zhang Ming wanted to buy it, but they didn't sell it. Now they just took it all. Not to mention not getting any money, they even lost their lives.
