Just when Yang Qian and his family were having a lively meal, the phone rang.

Xiao Yu walked over and picked up the phone to answer the call. Within a dozen breaths, her face suddenly changed color.

"Something happened to the young master!"

Yang Qian kept pulling at the rice without any panic, and the same was true for Zhang Yumeng and the other girls.

A year ago, you might have panicked, but now the situation has reversed. On the basis of the Central Plains, you have already established a foothold.

"Say~~!"

"Your Majesty, your Majesty is ready to cut down the feudal vassal!!!"

"watt???"

Yang Gan stopped holding the chopsticks in his hand, his eyes dull.

"He has Alzheimer's disease! How could he think of reducing the vassal status?" Yang Gan muttered to himself, with a look of disbelief on his face.

The girls looked at each other, but Krisna and Bellica didn't react much. After all, most people didn't understand this word.

Mu Qing and Cao Wushuang also looked horrified.

Cao Wushuang sneered and said, "Don't the kings of Xia know how to write the word "death"?"

Mu Qing shook his head with a strange look on his face, "It seems that a war is inevitable."

Zhang Yumeng pushed Yang Qian and asked curiously, "What is cutting down the feudal clan?"

Yang Gan murmured, "To cut down a feudal clan is to dig up other people's ancestral graves. If you are not prepared, the people who are cut off from the feudal clan will almost jump over the wall in a hurry."

Yang Qian, who is familiar with history, knows that the three large-scale vassal reductions since ancient times almost resulted in a complete mess.

The Rebellion of the Seven Kings of the Han Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty reduced the vassal status and led to the rise of Zhu Di.

When the Qing Dynasty cut down the vassal vassals, it was gratifying that Geng Jingzhong was loyal, but Wu Sangui rebelled.

Almost as long as there is a vassal reduction, there will be a fight.

Zhang Yumeng didn't look at Krisna and Belika. These two idiots didn't know as much as he did.

But seeing the expressions on Mu Qing and Cao Wushuang's faces, one knew that things were not simple.

"Zhao Wenmo, aren't you worried?"

Zhao Wenmo picked up the dishes elegantly, glanced at Yang Qian, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is not worried, so what are you worried about?"

Zhang Yumeng didn't like the feeling of being kept in the dark, so she grabbed Yang Qian's arm and said coquettishly.

"Tell me about it, the Lun family really wants to know."

"Sister, you are already 29, stop being so cute, you are quite shameless."

Zhang Yumeng twitched the corner of her mouth in embarrassment, showing two small fangs, and threatened, "Will you tell me???"

While threatening, he still held Yang Qian's arm and kept swinging it back and forth in front of his chest.

This, who can withstand this? Although Yang Qian is in hormonal hibernation, the popular female star in her previous life showed such a look that she was ready to be picked. Not to mention herself, even King Zhou couldn't withstand it.

"Ahem..."

"If you want to know how to reduce vassal vassals, you must know what a vassal king is. Although the Xia Kingdom has a system of prefectures and counties, it is also a system of prefectures and states combined with counties. The meaning is very simple. It is a system of prefectures and counties, and there are still prefectures and states in the country. "

Zhang Yumeng suddenly said, "You mean, those feudal lords who were rewarded with land?"

Yang Gan shook his head and said, "The feudal lord does not count, these people just have land. The jurisdiction is still in the hands of the court, and the same goes for the clans. Their energy comes almost from the court and the monopoly of knowledge. Although they have private soldiers, they also It’s not an exaggeration.”

"But that's not the case at all in the prefectures. If we look at the levels, the king of the Yanhuang Dynasty is the emperor, then the kings of the various countries are the princes and kings. These are all enfeoffed by the emperor."

"The princes and kings can also be divided into feudal states. Each of these small countries in the country is a county. In name, the princes and kings must obey the orders of the princes and kings, pay tribute to the royal family, report on their duties, serve the king, and send troops to serve the king."

"But it's only in name. They can collect taxes and even recruit troops. They also have inextricable connections with the clans. Alas, it's tricky."

Zhang Yumeng was surprised and said, "Then these counties are not the country of China? If the king wants to cut down the vassals, doesn't this mean destroying them?"

Yang Gan shook his head and said, "This is somewhat different from destroying a country, but for a county, there is no difference. Anyway, the good times are gone. Maybe the whole family will go to live in the court."

Zhang Yumeng's eyes flashed, she knew that this was a disguised form of house arrest.

Seeing that everyone had finished eating, Yang Gan took the girls to the study.

Looking at the huge map, he said, "Yu'er, mark all the seven counties."

Xiao Yu nodded and pressed the map with a thumb-sized piece of wood studded with iron nails.

When Xiao Yu ducked out and everyone saw the map, they immediately took a breath of cold air.

I saw seven counties connected side by side to the east with Chaoxian as the center, dividing Chaoxian and Yuntong counties.

"introduce."

Xiao Yu nodded and said.

"Jifang, the king of Zhou, occupies the land of two counties."

"King Ji Shu of Wu occupies the land of two counties."

"King Zhao Ji Shang occupies the land of two counties."

"King Ji Yi of Sichuan occupies the land of two counties."

"Nanwang Ji Xian occupies the land of two counties."

"Xiwangji Banner occupies the land of two counties."

"Ji Ji, the king of the east, lives in the land of five counties."

People walking around Yang Qian's city couldn't help but let out a breath of cold air.

"Yang, Yang Qian, if I remember correctly, Xia State has thirty-six counties." Zhang Yumeng said slightly nervously.

"That's right, these counties own half of the Xia Kingdom."

Yang Gan clenched his fist and slammed the table.

"I told Lao Xia and others about the favor order. The purpose is to deal with the aristocratic family and the clan first. They have to eat in one mouthful. I don't know how they met the king and how they reported it."

"Yu'er, do we have any secrets within the county?"

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "Yes, there are only a few people in a county, because I never thought that the king would cut down the vassal so early, and some secret servants only exist to protect the signal transceiver."

Yang Qian was silent for a while, feeling a little headache. In his mind, as long as Xia Guo was fine.

It doesn't matter how hard you try, as long as the right time comes, Goguryeo will be your meal. Who would have thought that it would happen like this.

"Yu'er, what exactly happened?"

"The information from Anzi said that Chaoxian is everywhere saying that the king wants to cut down the vassal."

"What about in the court?"

"The court cannot detect it for the time being, but after the investigation by the secret agents and the chats of some officials at all levels, it seems that the court has not mentioned it."

Yang Qian frowned tightly, what on earth did this mean? Could it be that he was knocking on the mountain to frighten the tiger?

"Master, what do you think?"

Yang Gan couldn't confirm it, so he could only ask for help.

Cao Wushuang put his hands in his sleeves and looked over the map carefully.

"Xiao Yu, can the troops in Guanzhong and Chaoxian be mobilized?"

"No, but how many generals have been changed? I haven't found out which ones they are."

A smile appeared on Cao Wushuang's cold face, and he said with determination.

"The king's information has been leaked."

Yang Qian thought seriously, and Zhang Yumeng asked curiously, "How do you know?"

"It's very simple. The court didn't say it, so it proves to be just an idea. It might be a knock on the mountain to shock the tiger, or it might be an information leak."

"Assuming that it is to knock on the mountain and frighten the tiger, then the king must have prepared a complete strategy. But now, the Guanzhong army has not moved, but some generals have been replaced." Junqu Pavilion

"It can be seen from this that it should not be a knock on the mountain to sway the tiger. The only explanation is that the information was leaked while discussing things with his confidants in the palace."

Zhang Yumeng opened his mouth wide, and his two big eyes shone with disbelief.

"Okay, great analysis."

"Well, that's what I think too. According to the king's progress, he was probably discovered after only half of the layout was prepared."

Yang Qian thought, "It seems that knocking on the mountain shakes the tiger. It is the country that knocks, and it is the king, the tiger, who is shaken."

"That's right."

Cao Wushuang looked at Yang Qian with a hint of surprise.

Generally, people who are born with supernatural power always believe in fists. Unexpectedly, Yang Qian has extraordinary martial arts, superb internal affairs, and amazing talents in strategy.

Being a cheap disciple of mine really opened my eyes. There was simply no one of the same age in the vassal states of the Central Plains who could compare to Yang Gan.
