"The Yanmen Army is under the command of this king's master, Xue Rengui. Anyone who disobeys this king's command will be punished on the spot for treason.”
Xue Rengui killing He Guang with one arrow was still fresh in his mind, and there were also black-armored soldiers guarding the sides.
At this moment, the frightened Yanmen guards naturally obeyed.
Even Wang Yue and Yang He could only obey the order and hand over their military power.
"Ding! The host has completed the task of entering Yanmen Gate by force. The host has obtained a random talent recruitment. Do you want to use it?”
As Liu Ye easily grasped the situation in Yanmen, a system notification sounded in Liu Ye's mind.
"Use it."
Liu Ye said without hesitation.
What Liu Ye lacked the most right now was talent, so he naturally hoped for as many as possible.
"Ding! The host has obtained Zhangsun Wuji, the famous minister of the Tang Dynasty.”
"Zhangsun Wuji is the young master of the Zhangsun family in Yanmen County.”
After taking down Yanmen Prefecture, Liu Ye had a rough understanding of the military strength and power distribution of Yanmen Prefecture.
Apart from the soldiers of the counties under the jurisdiction of Yanmen Prefecture, the entire army of Yanmen Prefecture had a total of 6,000 people. There were three battalions of soldiers, all of which were guarded by the great clans. They were controlled by Wang Yue, Yang He, and He Guang respectively.
He Guang had already been killed by Xue Rengui with a single arrow. His two thousand soldiers were leaderless, so Xue Rengui naturally took over.
As for Wang Yue and Yang He's troops, although they were nominally under Liu Ye's command, Liu Ye understood that the two of them were selfish and would not give in so easily.
Liu Ye did not put the two of them in his eyes at all.
If it wasn't to stabilize the situation, Liu Ye wouldn't have kept the two of them alive.
If these two people were sensible and obediently stayed under him, they might be able to make contributions.
If they wanted to rebel, Liu Ye did not mind directly seizing their military authority and making them die.
Those aristocratic families were ambitious. Not only did they control the official army of Yanmen Prefecture, but they also controlled all fourteen counties under Yanmen Prefecture. They even had private soldiers.
The bandits near Yanmen County had dealings with these aristocratic families, and many of them were even raised by these aristocratic families.
Seeing this information, Liu Ye was burning with rage.
The Han Dynasty had nurtured its soldiers for more than 400 years. The aristocratic families had long been deeply rooted, sucking the blood of the Han Dynasty and gnawing at the flesh and blood of the Han Dynasty.
They had already eaten their fill. While absorbing the blood of the Han Dynasty, they were also constantly exploiting the people of the Han Dynasty, causing the people of the Han Dynasty to suffer. This was the root cause of the Yellow Turban uprising.
Rather than saying that the Han Dynasty was destroyed because of the Yellow Turban uprising, because of Dong Zhuo's chaos, and because of the feudal lords 'separation, it was better to say that these aristocratic families destroyed the Han Dynasty.
It was still too early to make a move on the great clans. Before his strength had grown, Liu Ye did not want to act rashly, so he could only delay the matter for a while.
The next morning, someone came to report that a young man and a young woman were outside County Governor Manor seeking an audience with him.
A man and a woman?
Liu Ye felt a little strange when he heard the servant's report.
According to the system's notification, Zhangsun Wuji should be visiting him in the next two days.
However, what was going on with this man and woman?
"Let them in."
Unable to figure out who it was, Liu Ye could only see for himself.
"Understood!"
The servant cupped his hands in agreement and quickly left.
Not long after, under the guidance of the servants, the two young men were brought to Liu Ye.
"This commoner Zhangsun Wuji greets King Zhao!”
"I, Zhangsun Wugou, pay my respects to King Zhao!”
The young man and woman bowed to Liu Ye after entering the hall.
"Ding! Scanning completed. Zhangsun Wuji's Commander Level: 67, Martial Power Level: 68, Intelligence Level: 91, Political Level: 93 (Growing)!”
A system notification sounded in Liu Ye's mind.
As expected of Zhangsun Wuji, the great hero who assisted Li Shimin in ascending the throne in history. His politics and intelligence were both first-class.
Such a top-notch strategist would be extremely popular wherever he was placed.
Liu Ye was currently lacking a strategist. Zhangsun Wuji's arrival could be said to be a long drought that brought him good rain, making Liu Ye feel overjoyed.
"Ding! Scanning complete. Zhangsun Wugou's Commander: 47, Martial Force: 38, Intelligence: 78, Political: 70, Charm: 94 (Growing)!”
Liu Ye was stunned when he heard the system's notification.
Zhangsun Wugou's name wasn't particularly resounding. Perhaps many people didn't know who he was, but Li Shimin's Empress Zhangsun was well-known throughout history.
"System, what's going on? Didn't you only summon Zhangsun Wuji for this king? Why is it that you're buying one for free and there's also Zhangsun Wugou?”
"Ding! When the system summoned a character, it was very likely that the character's family, friends, and disciples would be brought out. Although the possibility of this was extremely low, it was not impossible.”
"If the host doesn't need the additional characters, just kill them directly.”
Kill him?
The system made it sound so easy. If it was an ordinary person, it would be fine.
However, who was this Zhangsun Wugou in front of him? That was the Empress Zhangsun in history. If he were to die like this, wouldn't it be a reckless waste of a heavenly gift?
Seeing that Liu Ye was unmoved and was staring straight at him, Zhangsun Wu lowered his head shyly. His face that could be broken with a snap of his fingers had already turned red from shyness.
PS: In the military system of the Han Dynasty, an army was divided into five battalions, a battalion was divided into five divisions, a division was divided into two sections, a section was divided into two camps, and a camp was divided into two teams.
An army of 10,000, a battalion of 2,000, a division of 400, a band of 200, a village of 100, and a squad of 50. The positions of the sergeants and sergeants below that were basically held by experienced soldiers, and they were not considered basic officers.
