Yang Yiqing nodded slightly and said: "This is a very good move. I just want to hide it from Hulibu, or lower Hulibu's vigilance. I'm afraid it will require the core personnel of the Tang family to come forward."

As he spoke, Yang Yiqing couldn't help but glance at Li Huan. Now it can be said that the entire Tang family has been captured by the Jin Yiwei, and even their relatives have been imprisoned.

According to Li Huan's wishes, as long as the interrogation is completed, the Tang family members should be killed. You must know that Li Huan is an imperial envoy and has the right to kill first and report later.

Now Li Huan obviously needs the cooperation of the Tang family, especially if he can get in touch with the Tatars and gain their trust. Only a few core elders of the Tang family have such qualifications.

Li Huan made it clear that he wanted to destroy the Tang family. In this case, although Yang Yiqing said that he thought Li Huan's idea was good, he was not very optimistic that Li Huan could persuade the core people of the Tang family to cooperate with them to deal with the Tatars.

people.

Li Huan obviously understood what Yang Yiqing meant.

Smiling slightly, Li Huan said calmly: "Among the Tang clan, not all of them are extremely conscientious people. There are still a very few people who retain a trace of conscience. Although they all deserve to be killed,

But it’s not necessarily impossible to persuade the other party.”

The person Li Huan was talking about was none other than the ninth master of the Tang family, whom Tang named.

According to what Yue Buqun and Han Le said, Tang Dingwei should be regarded as the one with the most bottom line and conscience among the core elders of the Tang family. The more important point is that although Tang Dingwei is said to be Tang Ding,

The core of the family, but only because of his direct lineage, his own abilities are very average, and he has no independent opinions. He often does what others say. Even if he has opinions on some of the actions of the Tang family, he rarely

I will persist in my opposition.

What Li Huan was thinking about was whether he could persuade the ninth master of the Tang family to cooperate with them.

Yang Yiqing stroked his beard and nodded slowly: "If we can really persuade a core elder of the Tang family to cooperate, I can be eighty-nine percent sure of this action against the Huli."

Not long after, I saw someone being brought over.

The person who came was none other than the ninth master of the Tang family, Tang Dingwei.

Tang Dingwei looked extremely embarrassed at this time. He was wearing a prison uniform and his hair was messy. However, he only looked a little embarrassed and did not suffer any injuries.

When Li Huan saw this, he glanced at Tang Dingwei in surprise, but Yue Buqun on the side explained: "Sir, after Tang Dingwei was arrested, he was very cooperative in explaining everything."

When Li Huan heard this, he immediately understood that the relationship was because Tang Dingwei cooperated very well with Jin Yiwei's interrogation.

The purpose of Jin Yiwei's torture on people is to interrogate and obtain useful information. If the interrogation subject is very cooperative, then there is no need to torture, right?

Tang Dingwei's face was full of dejection. He walked into the hall and saw Li Huan and Yang Yiqing. He stepped forward and bowed to them and said: "Tang Dingwei, the sinner, pays homage to the imperial envoy and the governor."

.”

Li Huan looked down at Tang Dingwei from a high position, and said with a bit of coldness in his eyes: "Tang Dingwei, what you Tang Dingwei did is completely unconscionable. Do you know your guilt?"

Tang Dingwei sighed softly and said: "The sinners know their sins. The sinners have known for a long time that what the Tang family has done in recent years will sooner or later bring disaster to the Tang family. However, the clan brothers and family heads simply do not listen."

My persuasion, now that Mr. Tang has ended up like this, he deserves it..."

As he spoke, Tang Dingwei sighed: "It's a pity that our Tang clan in Suide has come to an end."

Yang Yiqing couldn't help but glance at Tang Dingwei in surprise, as if he didn't expect Tang Dingwei to say such words.

But it’s normal to think about it. The Tang family has a great business and has at least hundreds of members. It’s obviously impossible to say that everyone is a heartless person. So it’s really not a big deal for Chu Tang to be such a person.

Strange things.

Li Huan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, looked at Tang Dingwei and said suddenly: "Tang Dingwei, you also know that the Tang family colluded with the Tatars to rob the imperial government's food relief, causing tens of thousands of people in Suide to starve to death.

These are all sinful debts caused by your Tang family."

Tang Dingwei's eyes were full of sorrow and he said: "Tang has nothing to say about this crime. Even if the imperial envoy wants to kill my Tang family, Tang deserves it."

Li Huan looked at Tang Dingwei and said: "You, the Tang family, indeed deserve to die, but shouldn't the Tatars in Huli deserve to die? If it hadn't been for them, there wouldn't have been so many people who died tragically. You, the Tang family, must have died."

It’s gone, but the Tatars in the Huli region can live peacefully on the grassland.”

Tang Dingwei was not a fool. After hearing what Li Huan said, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Huan and said, "Sir, do you have anything to say to the guilty people?"

Li Huan said lightly: "Do you want to atone for your Tang family's sins?"

Tang Dingwei was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing, looked at Li Huan and said, "What do you want the common people to do, sir?"

A stern look flashed in Li Huan's eyes and he said: "I hope that you, Tang Dingwei, can help me slaughter the inside of the pot."

Tang Dingwei couldn't help but turn pale when he heard this. He looked at Li Huan with horror on his face, and then looked at Yang Yiqing who was sitting there.

Tang thought that he just had a bad temper, but he was not a fool.

The meaning of Li Huan's words couldn't be clearer. It meant that Li Huan wanted to deal with Hulibu.

Soon Tang Dingwei shook his head and said: "I'm afraid I will disappoint you. Aliha in the Hulibu is not a fool. Even if I, Tang, come forward, I can't persuade him to enter the customs again and take the initiative to die."

Obviously, in Tang Dingwei's view, Li Huan wanted the Tang family to come forward and invite the Huli tribe to enter the customs. After all, the Tang family had done this before.

If we can really trick Hu Libu into coming in, we can really kill Hu Libu's elite without any mental calculation or carelessness.

However, Tang Dingwei also knew that it was absolutely impossible for people from the Huli tribe to enter the border at this time. After all, the people from the Huli tribe were not stupid. At this time, all sides were on guard, even if they were as bombastic as Tang Ding said.

People in Hulibu are also unlikely to be fooled.

Therefore, Tang Dingwei felt that Li Huan was simply acting out of his imagination.

Li Huan slowly shook his head, looked at Tang Dingwei and said: "I am not asking you to persuade Hulibu to enter the customs. I also know that this is not realistic at all. As far as I know, in a few days, you will

The Tang family is about to make a deal with Hulibu."

Tang Dingwei looked at Li Huan and said, "Does your Majesty mean that the imperial army will step out of the Great Wall and enter the grassland to deal with the Huli tribe?"

Li Huan saw Tang Dingwei's expression in his eyes and chuckled: "What? Are we only allowed to invade the Central Plains by the Tatars, but we are not allowed to set foot on the grasslands of the Ming Dynasty soldiers and horses?"

Tang Dingwei ignored Li Huan and looked at Yang Yiqing, the governor of the three sides.

Although the Ming Dynasty still maintains a separation of civil and military affairs on the surface, anyone who is not a fool can see that the Ming Dynasty is now in a situation where civil society dominates the military.

Therefore, Tang Dingwei did not believe the words of Li Huan, a young imperial minister. He was more willing to believe the words of Yang Yiqing, the imperial censor of Youdu, governor of Shaanxi and governor of the three sides.

Yang Yiqing clearly felt Tang Dingwei's gaze, and nodded solemnly and said to Tang Dingwei: "Yes, I have agreed with the imperial envoy to slaughter the Huli tribe to avenge the tens of thousands of people in Suide.

"

Yang Yiqing looked at Tang Dingwei and said, "This is your Tang Dingwei's chance to forgive. It depends on whether Tang Dingwei is willing to assist the court in dealing with the Huli tribe's troops!"

Tang Dingwei pondered for a while, then slowly looked up at Yang Yiqing and Li Huan and said, "It's not impossible for me to cooperate with the imperial court. The guilty people have only one request."

Li Huan said calmly: "Speak!"

Tang Dingwei took a deep breath and prayed: "I, Tang, deserve to die. All the men will be killed, and the women will be sent to the Jiaofang Department. This is my retribution, but... I am an imperial envoy.

Sir, Lord Governor, can you leave a root for me, Tang family?"

As he spoke, Tang Dingwei said in a trembling voice with some excitement and expectation: "I have a grandson who was born just ten months ago. He is just a baby. If the two adults can save his life, the guilty people are willing to risk their lives to help the imperial court to eliminate him."

Hulibu, please forgive me, Mrs. Tang."

With a bang, Tang Dingwei kowtowed fiercely to Li Huan and Yang Yiqing.

Li Huan couldn't help but frowned when he heard this. At this time, Yang Yiqing glanced at Tang Dingwei, pondered for a moment and then said to Li Huan: "Master Li, I think I can give Tang Dingwei a chance. If he can really

If you cooperate with the imperial court to exterminate the Huli tribe, it will be regarded as a great achievement, and the imperial envoy can give the baby a way to survive afterwards."

Li Huan still frowned. The crimes committed by the Tang family were so serious. They colluded with the Tatars and robbed relief money and food, leading to the tragic death of tens of thousands of people. Coupled with the various crimes committed by the Tang family over the years, it would be annihilating the entire clan.

It's light.

Now Tang Dingwei actually wants to ask him to leave a bloodline for the Tang family. According to Li Huan's temperament, it is absolutely impossible for him to agree.

Just looking at Tang Dingwei, Li Huan took a deep breath and said slowly: "Okay, I can give you a chance. If you can really cooperate with the imperial court to kill Hulibu, then I can make the decision.

Leave your grandson alive."

Tang Dingwei couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this. Tears of excitement flowed from his eyes. He kowtowed to Yang Yiqing and said, "Sinners, thank you so much, sir. Thank you so much, sir."

Li Huan snorted coldly and said: "Remember, the premise is that you can help the court to destroy Hulibu, otherwise..."

Tang Dingwei said with a firm look on his face: "Don't worry, Sir, the guilty people have also dealt with those Tatars. This time we agreed to trade war horses with the Tatars, the guilty people are responsible for it, and they will definitely not

What happened?"

Li Huan snorted coldly and said, "I hope you won't disappoint me."

As he spoke, Li Huan said to Yue Buqun who was standing beside him: "Yue Buqun, you will temporarily act as the accountant of the Tang family and follow Tang Dingwei to select a group of people to cooperate with Tang Dingwei."

Yue Buqun heard this and said in a deep voice: "I obey my orders."

Watching Tang Dingwei and Yue Buqun leave, Li Huan looked at Yang Yiqing and said, "It's all up to Governor Yang to mobilize the troops."

Yang Yiqing stroked his beard and said with a gleam in his eyes: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Imperial Envoy. I have already sent people to mobilize the elite cavalry from the three sides. I will definitely not miss your business."

Suidezhou

With the county magistrate Ding Dechao being granted the authority to relieve the victims by Li Huan, and coupled with the continuous confiscation of food, the situation of the victims outside the city was obviously improving.

At the same time, Li Huan gave an order and raised a banner to recruit troops.

You must know that there are still hundreds of thousands of disaster victims outside Suidezhou City. Those who have been able to persist until now can be said that except for a very small number of old and weak, almost most of them are young men and women, or some children, at least some of them are older.

There are only a handful of elderly people.

With the same conditions, Li Huan ordered the recruitment of 5,000 young men in Suidezhou, and used the confiscated acres of land, gold, silver, and grain as conditions for settling these young men's relatives.

In almost less than a day, even after several rounds of screening, five thousand young men were recruited. If Li Huan hadn't considered that he wanted to maintain some vitality for Suidezhou, he really let go of the recruitment.
