Chapter 1928 The Great Purge
Chapter 1926: Great Purge
In the second new army camp, Captain Kong Ke and Army Sima Zhangzhong were at the top of the first-rate and second-rate ranks respectively. However, before they could even leave the camp, they were killed one after another by their subordinate, the military lord Xuanjian.
In the third recruit battalion, the captain Qiao Chu, who was born in the Qiao family, had top-notch strength, but died at the hands of the guard captain Gao Jianli.
Including the fifth, sixth, seventh, ninth, and newly discovered tenth recruit battalion captains, a total of more than 600 people died in Jia Xu's purge, including seven captains, five army commanders, and eighteen military princes.
Di Renjie's secret investigation revealed that most of these officers were from imperial families, and a small number were civilian officers brainwashed by the imperialists' rhetoric of being "loyal to the Han and loyal to His Majesty".
Jia Xu ostensibly sent spies to monitor these rebels, but secretly let snare killers lurk around him in disguise.
Luowang is a subordinate organization of Heibingtai. It has only one responsibility, which is to assassinate and kill all those who are unfavorable to the Qin army.
In order to control the army, the rebellious officers will naturally win over the officers under their command. There is no reason not to agree to the voluntary defection of the Snare Killer.
Before the incident, these officers thought they were free from the surveillance of the Black Ice Platform, but they did not know that there were snare killers among their cronies. As a result, they bumped into the edge of the snare.
This purge of Jia Xu had been planned for a long time. In order to completely control the 30,000 new troops, more than 600 people were purged at one time. It can be said that he was not ruthless.
Although most of the purged rebels were ordinary soldiers, there were also a large number of officers, accounting for 60% of the total officers of the New Army.
Suddenly losing six levels of officers was a fatal blow to any army, but Jia Xu was obviously well prepared.
The purge operation had just ended, and the bloodstains in the military camp had not yet been cleaned away, when the appointment of the new officer was conveyed.
Jia Xu ordered Qin Ji to be the commander of the rebellion, commanding 30,000 new troops. Qin Chu, Qin Xi, Qin Ying, Qin Gao, Qin Lu, Qin Xi, Qin Liang and Qin Si were the commanders of the seven generals, and the commanders were purged. Seven recruit battalions of captains were missing.
Thirty thousand new troops, from generals to captains, were basically replaced by Qin family members, completely controlling the new army.
The strength of the Imperial Party mainly comes from two aspects, one is the Seventh Battalion of the New Army, and the other is the Reorganized Army of the Family.
The Imperial Party carefully planned and deployed people to the New Army bit by bit, but Jia Xu purged them all at once.
It is now impossible for the imperial party to rely on the new army to seize power. The only thing they can rely on is the reorganized army of the family, but the reorganized army of the family is obviously also targeted by Jia Xu.
Of the five thousand aristocratic families who organized the army, only two thousand did not participate in the rebellion. These soldiers came from Qin, Jia, Wang, Yue, Xue, Li and other families close to Qin.
Although not all of the remaining 3,000-generation family soldiers were loyal to the Han Dynasty, it was obviously impossible to tell the difference at this time, and they could only be purged as treason.
“Sima, someone keeps inciting the soldiers to cause trouble, and the soldiers don’t listen to us at all.”
After hearing the report from his subordinates, the commander of the army broke into sweat and asked anxiously: "Hasn't there been an order from above?"
"No."
"how so?"
Although the rioting family soldiers had no weapons, they numbered three thousand in number, while the number of soldiers guarding the camp was only five hundred.
As far as the current situation is concerned, it is impossible to suppress these violent soldiers without using the sword, and once the killer is killed, it may completely intensify the conflict, and eventually the same room will fight and blood will flow.
Hence, without orders from the top, a mere military commander would naturally not dare to let his soldiers kill him, and this would naturally increase the arrogance of the soldiers of the family. "Sima, the general has an order. Anyone who steps out of the military camp will be killed without mercy. The other general has led two thousand troops to help."
"That's great."
The Army Sima was overjoyed and quickly ordered the soldiers to fight back. This was in line with the wishes of the Imperial Party hidden in the crowd. After all, not all the soldiers of the Three Thousand Generations Family were from the Imperial Party.
Although the imperialists continued to spread rumors in the army that the Qin army would treat them as cannon fodder, some people were still doubtful. Therefore, these people only protested and wanted to leave the camp, rather than directly fighting.
Now that the Qin Army took the lead, it just confirmed what they said. These people must have tried their best to escape in order to survive. Isn't this the cannon fodder they need most.
As the saying goes: beat the old master to death with random punches.
Although the soldiers of the family have no weapons in hand, they are outnumbered. In close combat, they can still steal weapons if they fight one by one.
Gradually, more and more people died, most of them were soldiers of the family, which also made some people feel timid.
According to this posture, even if all three thousand people died, they probably wouldn't be able to break out of the military camp. But at this moment, a large number of soldiers with weapons suddenly appeared among the family soldiers, and the number was around a thousand.
Sima Qin's army turned pale when he saw this. He didn't know how these weapons entered the military camp, but he knew that this was definitely a serious crime, and he would definitely be convicted of dereliction of duty and dismissed.
With the addition of thousands of soldiers of the clans holding weapons, the 500 Qin army gradually lost its enemy. Just when they were about to be unable to hold the camp gate, Qin Inspector led another two thousand soldiers of the clans to arrive in time.
After seeing this scene, Qin Jian showed a ferocious smile, pointed his spear forward, and shouted: "No one will be spared from all the rebels."
"kill…"
Under the leadership of Qin Jian, two thousand pro-Qin clan soldiers rushed into the camp shouting and waving weapons, and a new and more brutal purge operation began.
The original plan of the imperial party was to wait for the family soldiers in the camp to rush out, and then immediately attack the Qin Palace together and capture Qin Hao's wife and children, so as to intimidate the defenders in Luoyang City.
But so far, they have not been able to break out of the camp. Obviously, something must have happened to this group of troops.
"Master Kong Rong, something bad has happened. Jia Xu is not dead. All the people we placed in the New Army have been eliminated by Jia Xu. Now the New Army is completely owned by the Qin Army." Yang Jun ran over with a look on his face. Said anxiously.
"What?"
Liu Xie, Kong Rong, and Ma Rixi all screamed together, and Kong Rong even shouted in disbelief: "This is absolutely impossible."
In order to confirm that Jia Xu was really dead, Kong Rong personally attended Jia Xu’s funeral and saw Jia Xu’s ‘corpse’ with his own eyes.
Liu Xie's face suddenly became extremely ugly. If this news is true, there is only one possibility for Jia Xu to die by fraud, and that is to deliberately lure them into arrest and completely clean up the loyal people in one fell swoop.
"It's absolutely true. According to reliable information, Jia Xu has succeeded Mu Guiying and become the actual controller of the Qin army." Yang Jun said anxiously.
Liu Xie's face suddenly turned pale. He suppressed the fear in his heart and gritted his teeth and said, "This **** old thief."
