Chapter 194

Thus, Weizhuang was taken alive!

Seeing this scene, Huang Chao was so excited his eyes sparkled; he bowed straight to Zhang Liang:

"Mr. Zhang Liang, your calculations left nothing to chance; you knew precisely they would come tonight!"

He shouted, truly beyond excited!

In fact, right after today's battle ended, Zhang Liang gathered everyone and said:

"Tonight, Weizhuang and his group will surely raid the camp and slaughter us all!"

"This... is a camp of nearly three thousand men; would he dare?"

Yu Yu Huatian was shocked!

Qiao Feng also felt Zhang Liang was exaggerating a bit!

He did not believe Weizhuang would dare come!

Zhang Liang merely waved his hand:

"Assassins are assassins; they dare not fight openly, so they can only act in the shadows; therefore, they will surely come tonight!"

"And we can set an ambush; if we execute it well, this battle will allow us to capture Weizhuang alive!"

Thus, the current scene appeared!

Looking at Weizhuang and Yan Yan Lingji, who had been taken alive before them.

At that moment, Huang Chao looked at Zhang Liang, his eyes filled with nothing but admiration!

Even Qiao Feng and Yu Yu Huatian bowed deeply to Zhang Liang with immense respect: "Mr. Zhang Liang!"

Everyone bowed to Zhang Liang together!

Zhang Liang was flustered; he returned the bow immediately, then bowed to the crowd and said:

"Everyone, you promised me to leave them alive, escort them back to Xianyang City, and await the Emperor's judgment!"

Qiao Feng nodded: "That is natural!"

Yu Yu Huatian and Huang Chao naturally would not object!

Come on, this is Zhang Liang!

Besides Zhang Liang's wisdom earning their admiration, there was also the matter of Facing Ying Su!

Just look at how much Facing Ying Su dotes on Zhang Liang!

Back then, to make Zhang Liang submit, Facing Ying Su ran to Zhang Liang's room again and again, asking after his health time and time again.

They had only ever seen such treatment directed at Zhang Liang.

For anyone else, Facing Ying Su never acted this way!

Huang Chao and Yu Yu Huatian saw all this clearly; how could they possibly oppose him now?

Capturing Weizhuang and Yan Yan Lingji alive made everything simple at once.

Starting tomorrow, collect taxes!

Those who do not pay taxes will be slaughtered!

Even paying taxes does not end the matter.

Those who dared resist paying taxes must be put in prison carts, sent to Xianyang City, and a proclamation issued to announce the crimes of the nobles of Handan Commandery, publishing their punishments to the world.

Let everyone see the fate of those who resist paying taxes!

Only thus can hearts be intimidated, and tax collection proceed smoothly!

Once this round of tax collection is done, they will be obedient from now on!

No one will dare resist paying taxes!

Everything happened exactly as Zhang Liang predicted.

After crushing the five-thousand-strong noble alliance and capturing Weizhuang and Yan Yan Lingji alive, no noble in Handan Commandery dared resist paying taxes.

Everyone produced grain and offered it up!

But even so, it was not over; the current family head must still be put in a prison cart and sent to Xianyang City!

As for resistance?

Fine!

Resistance means the entire family will be slaughtered!

After days of fierce battles, both Huang Chao and Zhang Liang had anger burning in their chests.

They were hoping the nobles would resist!

And the nobles were shrewd!

Pay taxes, the family head is put in a prison cart; at most, only one person dies!

If they resist, the entire family will die!

So, they all made the wisest choice!

Pay taxes, send their family head to the prison cart!

As for Wushuang Gui and Yin Fu!

Upon learning Weizhuang and Yan Yan Lingji had been captured alive, Wushuang Gui was furious immediately and went to Jiejiuweizhuang!

But he was stopped immediately by Yin Fu!

And they left this place!

They were going to find reinforcements to Jiejiuweizhuang!

Although the matter in Handan Commandery was settled!

Now they faced a problem!

That means: who will be in charge of escorting Weizhuang, Yan Yan Lingji, and this batch of nobles?

And who will remain behind to protect Zhang Liang and Huang Chao so that tax collection can continue?

Yu Yu Huatian immediately knelt and bowed:

"Before I departed, Your Majesty instructed that Mr. Zifang's safety is of utmost importance; therefore, I will take one thousand men to escort them!"

"As for Qiao Feng, he shall remain to protect Zhang Liang!"

Yu Yu Huatian spoke thus.

Zhang Liang frowned: "The Nameless Ghost has fled; it is highly likely he went to seek reinforcements. What if there is an ambush along the way? How should we proceed to save Weizhuang?"

"This..."

Yu Yu Huatian's brow furrowed in worry!

Zhang Liang said:

"The Nameless Ghost merely wishes to save Weizhuang and Yan Yan Lingji!"

"Place hoods on all of them so that no one can tell who is who!"

"Then, divide them into ten groups and escort them along three separate routes. Since their numbers are few, even if they attempt a rescue, they can only save one route!"

Yu Yu Huatian knelt and bowed excitedly: "Mr. Zifang's calculations leave nothing to chance!"

Zhang Liang bowed to Yu Yu Huatian: "I beg General to plead on my behalf before Your Majesty. Weizhuang may be imprisoned, but do not kill him. If possible, after Zhang Liang completes the tax collection, let Zhang Liang persuade him to surrender!"

"Ultimately, he is Zhang Liang's old friend!"

Yu Yu Huatian said: "It shall be done!"

"Thank you, General!"

"Take care, Mr."

At this moment, the two bowed farewell!

Outside Xianyanggong!

Just as Zhang Liang, Huang Chao, and the others were engaged in battle with the Handan nobles!

A major event occurred within Xianyang City!

Feng Quji came to report: "Princess Tu'an will arrive in Xianyang tomorrow!"

Upon this news breaking, the entire Xianyang City was immediately thrown into an uproar!

Previously, Li Yuanba reported that a single person had slain six hundred thousand Xiongnu troops, even breaking into Tu'an and forcing the King of Tu'an to surrender the princess to seek peace.

Very few people were willing to believe this matter!

Even with Prince Prince Fusu's handwritten letter, some still did not believe it!

Some even spread rumors within Xianyang City, claiming Facing Ying Su was boasting wildly and that Princess Tu'an would certainly not come to Qin!

"Exactly. Although I support the new Emperor, still... the new Emperor's words are far too exaggerated!"
