    In the place where Zhuge Liang worked, Wang Lei, Dong He and other old Yizhou troops saluted Zhuge Liang with sincerity and expressed their respect for Zhuge Liang.

    Wang Lei, Dong He and other people who took refuge with Liu Bei were not implicated because they did not participate in the rebellion and had no contact with the rebels.

    Although Zhuge Liang targeted them and suppressed them intentionally or unintentionally, their mentality was very upright, or they were very smart. They knew that they were the emperor and the ministers, and they did not complain when they were suppressed.

    This made Zhuge Liang very satisfied with them.

    When plotting against the big families in Chengdu, Zhuge Liang did not attack them.

    When Zhuge Liang sent Wei Yan to arrest the rebels in the city, many people were implicated, but Wang Lei, Dong and others were not implicated.

    But they did not stay out of the matter. After those big families were arrested by Zhuge Liang, Wang Leidong and them came to plead with Zhuge Liang and ran around for those families.

    Although Zhuge Liang knew that they did not participate in the rebellion and did not take action against them, it did not mean that he would give them face. Zhuge Liang ignored Wang Leidong and their pleas.

    Today, there was a mass killing, killing everyone led by Leng Bao, but in the end a large number of families were pardoned.

    Most people can¡¯t see the profound meaning of Zhuge Liang¡¯s move, but smart people like Wang Ledong can understand it at a glance.

    In addition to killing chickens to scare monkeys, the other step is to subdue the wavering losers and make them surrender to Liu Bei, so that Liu Bei can truly control Yizhou.

    Wang Lei and the others believe that after this incident, those who want to rebel will no longer have the courage. If they want to cause trouble in the future, they will have to think about it again.

    This time, Zhuge Liang killed all those who deserved their punishment. He spared a group of people and did not completely reduce the number of families in Chengdu by one-third. This result is quite satisfactory.

    In this era, aristocratic noble families are the important center in governing the country, and they also represent the strength of a place.

    If there are very few aristocratic families in a certain place, then foreign aristocratic families will occupy the majority, and the local power will be weakened.

    For Wang Lei, Dong He and other Yizhou elites, Liu Bei's entry into Yizhou has become a fact, and Liu Bei will govern Yizhou in the future.

    But if Zhuge Liang eradicates the local families in Yizhou here, then in the future, the families in Jingzhou will definitely take advantage of the situation and seize the rights and interests belonging to the people of Yizhou.

    Wang Lei, Dong He and others ran around at first, speaking for the rebellious families, hoping that Zhuge Liang would be given a lighter punishment. This was more because they were worried about it than because they were related.

    They worry that the gentry power in Yizhou will be eradicated, and Yizhou will be occupied by doves in the future.

    Now Zhuge Liang has only eradicated those rebellious families and weakened part of the power of the gentry, but this result is still acceptable.

    Wang Lei, Dong He and the others were relieved. At least when they competed with Jingzhou guys in the ring in the future, they would not be afraid that their strength would be insufficient.

    Now the power of the gentry in Yizhou has not been weakened to the point of collapse. As long as it is managed well, the gentry like them will have the final say in Yizhou in the future.

    Wang Lei, Dong He and others now fear and admire Zhuge Liang.

    Some people are afraid of Zhuge Liang's foresight, while others admire Zhuge Liang's methods.

    When Zhuge Liang asked Liu Bei to lead troops to Fucheng, he had already started planning. At that time, he thought of today, which shows his terrible mind.

    At the same time, Wang Lei, Dong He and others had to admit that this was the best way at present to quickly suppress the gentry in Yizhou and win their hearts.

    Liu Bei¡¯s method of capturing Yizhou was not fair and aboveboard. Even if Liu Zhang surrendered, it would not be easy for Liu Bei to conquer the hearts of the people in Yizhou. At least it would take a long time.

    If there were no foreign enemies, there would be no rush, but unfortunately, Liu Zhe sent people to attack.

    If we don¡¯t win the hearts of the people in Yizhou as soon as possible, then Yizhou will be in chaos again. By then, Yizhou may not belong to Liu Bei.

    "But this time Zhuge Liang's operation killed the rebellious families, suppressed the disloyal families, and at the same time greatly won over the people's hearts.

    Now compared with before, Yizhou's loyalty to Liu Bei has been greatly improved, at least there is no need to worry too much about someone rebelling.

    After this, Yizhou has finally surrendered to Liu Bei. As long as Liu Bei does not seek death, Yizhou willIt will eventually become his heart and soul.

    "Prime Minister."

    After Wang Lei, Dong He and others complimented Zhuge Liang, Wang Lei asked, "How does the Prime Minister plan to deal with the remaining families?"

    This is also one of the purposes of Wang Lei, Dong He and others coming to see Zhuge Liang this time.

    Zhuge Liang used the name of Liu Bei to pardon a large number of families, and they could not escape the death penalty. However, Zhuge Liang did not say what kind of punishment those families would receive.

    This kind of unknown waiting is what scares people the most.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
