These soldiers were veterans of the battlefield. Each of them had a ferocious aura. As soon as they stepped out, they had an intimidating aura.
Their appearance suddenly turned the situation around. Without this group of soldiers, the Sima family's strength was enough to resist Xu Youwen's forces. But with the appearance of the army, Sima Chang Sheng's strength couldn't stop it at all.
Sima Chang Sheng's expression changed greatly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Du Qi, you and your father mobilized the army to eliminate dissidents. You're doing this because you're on the same side. "
Du Qi said, "So what if I'm on the same side? So what if I kill you? In short, you, Sima Chang Sheng, must die today. "
Sima Chang Sheng's expression darkened.
He didn't expect that Du Qi had even mobilized the army.
The other members of the Wang family, these officials, shouldn't have been like this in their own positions. Now that they were all surrounded in the Sima family, they couldn't leave. This put them in a difficult situation.
Their hearts were filled with fear and unease.
Someone in the crowd said, "Steward Du, we just happened to be here. We didn't have any business here. Now that there's something here, we'll leave. "
Du Ruhui said, "Since you're already here, why leave?"
He had steeled his heart to deal with the Wang family. Su Jiang had found a chance to gather everyone together. Du Ruhui wouldn't miss this opportunity.
This was a chance to capture everyone in one fell swoop.
He wouldn't miss it.
Even if he captured these people, Daizhou would easily be in turmoil. But for Du Ruhui, it was worth it. Even if some chaos occurred, it would be in exchange for long-term peace in Daizhou. Du Ruhui had already changed his strategy after listening to Du Qi's analysis last night.
Kill those who should be killed!
Leave no future troubles.
"Du Ruhui, are you really going to kill them all?"
After Du Ruhui spoke, the Wang family members and those who followed behind Sima Chang Sheng all began to make a ruckus. Their faces were filled with anger, and they all glared at Du Ruhui.
Curses rose one after another.
Hysterical roars continued to ring out.
They were all cursing Du Ruhui.
Faced with such a situation, the sharpness in Du Ruhui's eyes grew even sharper. He didn't delay any longer and brazenly ordered, "Capture Sima Zhang Sheng. Kill anyone who resists!"
"Kill!"
Xu Youwen ordered.
The soldiers under his command immediately launched an attack.
Sima Changsheng said, "Go, kill him. Charge out! Let's break out! "
Facing Xu Youwen's forces and the garrison army that was eyeing him like a tiger watching its prey, Sima Changsheng did not have any thoughts of reversing the situation. Being able to kill his way out was already quite good.
This was what Sima Chang Sheng thought.
The Sima Family's private army quickly rushed out.
It was just that this group of private soldiers had no way to break out of the encirclement, especially when they were all scared out of their wits by the battle outside. How could they still have the will to fight? Even though the garrison soldiers had yet to join the battle, the Sima Family's private soldiers were already being suppressed to the point of retreating, unable to resist at all.
This kind of killing continued for less than a quarter of an hour before the Sima Family's guards could no longer hold on. On the other hand, the soldiers under Xu Youwen's command were becoming more and more tyrannical. The more they fought, the braver they became as they continuously charged into the Sima Family.
In a short time, they had already closed in on the main hall.
Everyone led by Sima Changsheng all hid in the main hall.
They couldn't escape.
Sima Changsheng's mood was also low. He knew that this time, they really couldn't hold on. Because it was only Xu Youwen's army that was attacking. Once Du Qi's thousand garrison soldiers were used, the little bit of military strength in his residence would immediately collapse. Especially at this time, many of Sima Changsheng's subordinates had already begun to advise him to surrender.
If they continued to resist, they would only die.
Sima Changsheng's expression was even more solemn and gloomy. His heart was also beginning to beat like a drum.
If they wanted to fight, they couldn't win.
If they wanted to admit defeat, they weren't willing.
Sima Changsheng was now in a dilemma. But when the continuous screams of the Sima Family's soldiers continuously being captured, Sima Changsheng's inner perseverance had already completely collapsed. He no longer held on.
He ordered, "Spread the word, we surrender!"
Sima Changsheng's subordinates immediately shouted that Sima Changsheng was willing to surrender, hoping that Du Ruhui would stop the attack.
Du Ruhui looked at Du Qi and asked, "Erlang, if Sima Changsheng begs for mercy, should we kill these people or postpone the attack for the time being? After all, many of our men were injured or killed during the attack. "
Du Qi said, "Father, you can order the attack to stop, but order everyone to put down their weapons. Then have Sima Changsheng and the others come out on their own."
"These people are still alive. Killing them is still useful."
"There are so many officials in Daizhou, and each and every one of them is problematic. Father, you can detain them and clearly investigate their circumstances. Then announce to the outside world that they are to be executed one by one. "
"His Majesty has authorized to execute first and report later. That way, there's no need for the imperial court to review. This is the way to completely sweep through Daizhou. Moreover, the common people will only clap their hands and praise you for killing corrupt officials. "
Du Qi said, "Especially in the local areas. Father, arrange for people to spread the evidence of these people's crimes. The common people won't pity or sigh about the deaths of the Sima Clan and the others. They will only hate them even more."
Du Ruhui said, "Erlang is right!"
Du Ruhui immediately ordered the soldiers to stop attacking. The Sima Clan's guards all threw down their weapons and knelt down to surrender. Sima Changsheng, Su Jiang, and the others also knelt down in the hall.
None of them dared to act blindly without thinking.
The soldiers stepped forward and detained all the Sima Clan members. After Sima Changsheng and the other officials were detained, they were all exposed in front of Du Ruhui and became fish on the chopping board.
Sima Changsheng knelt on the ground and raised his head to look at Du Ruhui, saying, "Steward Du, you've won today. All of us are willing to cooperate with you. However, the Wang Clan's power isn't something you can contend against. You've won today, but you've completely opposed the Wang Clan. In the end, you won't be able to gain anything. "
Du Ruhui said with a smile, "It seems that Elder Sima has always believed that the Wang Clan will win. Unfortunately, the Wang Clan is nothing to me. Eliminating the Wang Clan is my most important task. "
"Take him!"
Du Ruhui ordered.
The soldiers stepped forward and detained Sima Changsheng and the others.
They were all tied up except for Su Jiang.
Sima Changsheng saw this scene and opened his eyes wide, saying, "Su Jiang, what's going on with you? Could it be that you …"
He had a bad premonition in his heart.
He faintly thought of something.
Su Jiang said indifferently, "I've already submitted to Steward Du and am working for the imperial court."
