Instead of waiting for death, it is better to continue to fight and continue to make trouble to see if you can find a way out.

With these local families joining, the chaos in Nanpi City suddenly became organized, and some rebel gangsters were summoned to cause organized rebellion.

When they saw Liu Zhe's soldiers appear, they scattered. When Liu Zhe's soldiers left, they rebeled.

This practice is quite powerful as guerrilla warfare, which makes Liu Zhe's soldiers exhausted.

Faced with such an enemy, Liu Zhe did not think of a good idea for a moment, so he could only grit his teeth and persevere, discover the rebels, and see each one killing the other.

"Lord, Wang Xiu is here." Wu Anguo came to report.

Wang Xiu was imprisoned by Geng Bao. After Liu Zhe arrived, he almost forgot Wang Xiu during a series of times.

"I have met my lord."

After Wang Xiu came, he saluted Liu Zhe: "This rebellion was a negligence of his subordinates, and I hope the lord will punish him."

Liu Zhe said: "Get up, Shuzhi, this matter has nothing to do with you."

There is a reason for the rebellion of Geng Bao and others. It is not only their ambitions but also Liu Zhe's indulgence. Wang Xiu was able to be loyal to Liu Zhe and not participate in the rebellion, which was enough to prevent Liu Zhe from holding him accountable.

"How is it? You haven't suffered in prison, right?" Liu Zhe looked at Wang Xiu with a smile and asked.

"Go back to the lord, I'm fine."

Although Wang Xiu was imprisoned, Geng Bao did not care about him for a while, so he did not suffer much for the time being.

"What do you think about the current situation?"

Liu Zhe was not polite and asked Wang Xiu directly what he could do about Nanpi's current chaos.

"Well..."

Liu Zhe's direct question made Wang Xiu not know how to answer for a while.

Liu Zhe said: "Tell me, don't be restrained in front of me."

Liu Zhe's attitude made Wang Xiu feel relieved. Along the way, he had already learned that Nanpi was in the situation now and had a countermeasure in his heart.

After sorting out his thoughts, Wang Xiu spoke and said, "Lord, my subordinates believe that the lord will not be vigilant for some people."

"pardon?"

Liu Zhe stared at Wang Xiu, his voice slightly cold, and said, "Let me let this kind of troublemaker go? Tell me why..."

Wang Xiu was so close to Liu Zhe for the first time and was stared at by Liu Zhe. Even though he couldn't help feeling a little nervous. After taking a few deep breaths, he calmed down his nervousness and organized the language, and said: "Lord, the turmoil in the city is getting more and more intense now. The real reason is that there are local big families involved in it. These families have a huge influence on Nanpi. If they make trouble, Nanpi's turmoil will not be so easy to calm down."

"They have many servants and slaves in their family, and they are united and have a huge power. It can even be said that ordinary county soldiers are not their opponents."

"Well, you said it well." Liu Zhe nodded, expressing his agreement with Wang Xiu's words.

It has been more than ten years since Liu Zhe came to this era, and his daughter can make a fuss. He is already familiar with Liu Zhe in this era. The real backbone of this era is the gentry of various aristocratic families. They are the elite forces of this era and the cornerstone of the Han Dynasty. If they lose them, the Han Dynasty will collapse.

They control various resources and forces of this era and almost monopolize the rise of the lower class people.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion is not so much that the emperor was debauchery and caused public resentment, but rather that the lower class people were dissatisfied with such monopoly behavior, and they wanted to vent their dissatisfaction.

In order to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the court delegated power and asked the families below to recruit soldiers to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion eventually failed, but because of the decentralization of power, the power of the aristocratic families and their ambitions began to expand, so they began to go against the court. The rule of the Han court began to shake, and various princes began to appear, and the power of the court was constantly weakened.

In general, although the Yellow Turban Rebellion did not successfully overthrow the Han Dynasty, it actually achieved some of its goals and dealt a heavy blow to the foundation of the Han Dynasty's rule.

Now the prestige of the court has been weakened, and the princes are fighting each other, and the power of the aristocratic families is constantly increasing. This is equivalent to a chaotic era. For those aristocratic families, protecting their own safety is the most important thing. In addition to seeking a good throne of the princes, there is also the recruitment of refugees and letting them become their subordinates.

They are servants in their spare time. When there is something to do, they transform into private soldiers. The power of these private soldiers is no worse than that of ordinary troops, and may even be stronger.

Liu Zhe remembered that when he first arrived in this era, he had a few money in his hand and recruited refugees to become his tenants. There were thousands of people at once. The government did not care about this, and he, a new landlord, could do this, let alone those old aristocratic families.

Liu Zhe asked Wang Xiu: "Shuzhi (Wang Xiu's name), how many people are there in the hands of these families in Nanpicheng now?"

"No less than 50,000."

Wang Xiu thought about it and finally said a number. The total number of private soldiers in these families is 50,000. It is sensational. It is impossible for ordinary cities to have so many private soldiers.
