Chapter 125 The Aristocratic Family's Counterattack
After one night, the internal troubles in Luoyang were completely resolved by Jia Xu.
After Jia Xu met the heads of the aristocratic families who had not participated in the rebellion, all the positions that had been taken down by Yuan Huai and other aristocratic families were replaced by new ones. Although they might not be able to replace them, they would have no problem supporting them for a period of time.
"Notify the general and prepare to come back. The real challenge is coming."
"Are there any unusual movements among the strangers currently staying in Luoyang?" Jia Xu asked casually, without caring whether there were any figures around him.
"There are currently 126 aliens with clear identities in Luoyang. They are all under control and there are no unusual movements!"
A voice came out of nowhere in the air, it was from the Shadow Guards under Jia Xu.
Ever since the player alliance composed of players with official positions in Luoyang left Luoyang, Jia Xu quickly grasped the movements of the remaining individual players.
Jia Xu was very cautious about these players who controlled future trends, and sent a large number of people to monitor them.
However, most of the remaining individual players are casual players who are focused on learning the skills they desire and have no intention of causing trouble at all.
After determining the general movements of the players, Jia Xu put the aliens behind his mind. Immortality was indeed quite scary, but a mere one hundred aliens were not enough to cause a big wave in Luoyang.
In fact, the fact that he can still find time to care about the movements of aliens despite his current busy schedule has already proved that he pays enough attention to the news about aliens.
Jia Xu did not kill anyone from the aristocratic family, so now is not the time to turn against him completely. The result of luring the snake out of its hole is enough, and there is no need to create more trouble.
The confiscation of property and exile were carried out in one go. All the noble families were uprooted at one time and driven out of the Sili area.
"I hope you won't let me down! Master Yuan!" Jia Xu looked at the Yuan family's convoy on a long journey with full of anticipation.
"Military Advisor Jia, the property has been counted!" Gao Shun bowed and said to Jia Xu.
Gao Shun looked at Jia Xu with extreme fear in his heart. It was as if the aristocratic families were Jia Xu's playthings, and every step they made was calculated to perfection.
Thinking back to the time when they were in Bingzhou and were ostracized by the aristocratic families of Bingzhou, Gao Shun couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
Luoyang was the center of the Han Dynasty. In their eyes, the noble families of Bingzhou were probably just country bumpkins. But even such noble families fell into the hands of Jia Xu.
"Do you think that the aristocratic families in Luoyang have fallen?" Jia Xu looked at Gao Shun with a smile. The strong are always treated preferentially. If Jia Xu had not been surprised by the performance of the Xianzhen Camp, Jia Xu would not have bothered to explain to Gao Shun.
"Military Advisor Jia has made every possible plan. The aristocratic family has been defeated!" Gao Shun bowed, his words showing a hint of admiration.
"Haha, Bo Ping, the aristocratic families are not as simple as you think. They just lost a small game." Jia Xu explained and changed the subject.
"What are the results of the inventory?"
"All the accounts are here. Military Advisor Jia, please take a look." Gao Shun handed over a scroll of bamboo slips.
"Huh? How could it be so few?" Jia Xu was a little puzzled. There were at least eighty noble families who were driven away, if not a hundred. How could it be explained clearly with just a scroll of bamboo slips?
"This is just a catalog. The paper materials are all stored in the Government Affairs Office. Military Advisor Zhou is reading through them."
"Gongjin, it would be appropriate for him to check it." Jia Xu said, stroking his beard. He really couldn't do this.
It’s not that he’s not good at arithmetic, but he comes from a poor family and he can’t appreciate so many antiques and collectibles.
There were too many antiques and collectibles found in aristocratic families, and he was simply unable to tell them apart. Zhou Yu, who also came from an aristocratic family, was better. Even though the Zhou family was not a top family, it still had the necessary ability to appreciate things.
When Jia Xu opened the bamboo slips and took a quick look, he knew that the logistics were secure. With so much money and food, the aristocratic families were truly unfathomable.
"A total of 20 billion silver taels, 4,325 paintings, 4,500 volumes of ancient books, and 5 million dan of grain..."
He had heard that several of the richest businessmen in the world were only worth tens of billions, but he didn't expect that he could gain such a lot just by robbing the Luoyang family.
These noble families are truly terrifying. This time, just taking down a few families is enough to support all of Guo Hao's temporary logistics plans.
Jia Xu knew very well that these gains were definitely not all of the aristocratic family's. At most, they were only one-tenth of the aristocratic family. The aristocratic family, who had three burrows, would not keep all their supplies in Luoyang.
It must have extensions in the thirteen states, but this harvest made him tremble a little. Even the wisest wise man cannot resist the charm of money.
"Bo Ping, I'll have to trouble you to supervise the situation from now on. Such a huge fortune is bound to make people jealous."
Jia Xu sighed. Such a huge fortune made even him feel tempted. It was inevitable that it would attract some thieves.
Gao Shun clasped his fists and turned to leave. He had not read the contents of the bamboo slips and could not imagine the wealth that Jia Xu talked about.
When Gao Shun led the Xianzhen Camp to see the mountains of harvest, he truly understood what savings meant.
Hundreds of billions of money and millions of dan of grain, let alone seeing them, he had never even heard of them. This was the first time he truly felt what a noble family was.
"Are they the aristocratic families that were easily slaughtered by Xianzhen? They enjoyed such abundant resources, but in the end they were vulnerable. What a ridiculous and terrifying aristocratic family."
Gao Shun thought of what Jia Xu said, and his expression became gloomy. He picked up the knife in his hand and reflected his face.
Will the aristocratic family make a comeback?
I hope they can be stronger next time. If Xianzhen wants to go further, it can only rely on a strong opponent.
" Patrol this area in groups of 100. Anyone who trespasses will be killed!" Gao Shun gave the order loudly.
The aristocratic families are scary, but Xianzhen is not afraid of anyone. He won last time, and he will not lose next time.
“Yes!”
The vast wealth exceeded the understanding of the Xianzhen, and they had no idea what the wealth they were guarding meant.
Even if they did realize it, they would just guard it diligently according to Gao Shun's orders.
They all knew that Gao Shun was a general who could lead them to become stronger, and they were willing to obey all of Gao Shun's orders.
…
When Guo Hao was about to return to Luoyang from Yingchuan, an imperial edict spread all over the world.
"Is the family's counterattack finally coming?"
Jia Xu was somewhat surprised holding the information in his hand. In less than a month, the aristocratic families had launched another counterattack.
This background is really scary.
"Yuan Shao issued a surrender letter, calling on the world to fight against the traitorous general. This is such a familiar plot!"
"I wonder which princes will come to attack me?"
Guo Hao looked at the big-character poster with the message printed on it in his hand and thought with some anticipation.
The peaceful days had passed for a long time, and his level had not been improved for a long time.
Although he is still number one in the world player power rankings, he has long since fallen off the rank list.
Moreover, the number one player on the player power list is almost breaking 95 points of power, but his power is still hovering around 60.
As for his other specialty attribute, command, he had 72 points. Even though he had learned a lot from Huangfu Song, he was only ranked seventh.
"It really is a Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!"
Guo Hao couldn't help but look forward to it. He couldn't wait to get down to business.
