Xinpi and Zhu Ling's verification did not take too long. Xu Shu had indeed left, and based on Xinpi's judgment, he concluded that Yuan Shao might have arrived and Liu Bei was in a tough battle and needed rescue.
Under such circumstances, Xinpi and Zhu Ling naturally handed over the city defense to their lieutenants with confidence, and then went to the Cui family overnight with gifts to apologize.
In fact, all of this was within Cui Yan's expectations. There was a strategy called playing hard to get. Although Cui Yan did not have any amazing ingenuity, once he made up his mind, he would never look back. Since he still planned to fall to Liu Bei,
Then even if Xu Shu is not available, he still has to find a way to catch up with Liu Bei.
After that, the three of them naturally pushed cups and cups and drank very drunk. Xin Pi and Zhu Ling came to apologize themselves. Cui Yan drank so generously, how could the accompanying people not pour it into their mouths? Naturally, even Zhu Ling
The generals were knocked to the ground.
"De Ru, contact Liu Bei for me. The only member of the Cui family I can trust is you." Cui Yan was about to vomit out the gall, but his consciousness was already clear.
"I'll go right away." Cui Lin nodded immediately and said, "I have ordered people to carry the two of them into the inner courtyard and light the spices for calming the mind. I don't think they will wake up for five hours."
"Well done." Cui Yan said dizzy. He knew very well that even if things were unfavorable, Xinpi and Zhu Lingsu would not have the slightest suspicion in the inner courtyard of the Cui family. At most, they would only think that Cui Yan
Virtue is indeed good.
That night, Cui Lin left Cui's house through the secret road and prepared to go to contact Liu Bei's army in Qingzhou. Unfortunately, Zang Ba from Qingzhou had already rushed to the Bohai Sea at that time. There were no generals in Qingzhou who could mobilize a thousand men privately.
With Cui Lin's wisdom, he instantly saw something else under Zang Ba's undisguised behavior, and suddenly understood everything. He immediately rushed back to Qinghe overnight. I have to say that the mobility of a single soldier is really very good.
It's scary, especially when power is spared.
It was already dawn when Cui Lin returned alone. After rushing to Cui's house, he told Cui Yan everything he saw and heard.
"You mean Zang Ba has invaded Bohai, how is this possible?" Cui Yan said in disbelief.
"I'm afraid, Liu Bei has traitors in Bohai, and even in the entire Jizhou. The painful plot back then was probably done for all of us Hebei aristocratic families and Yuan Shao to see." Cui Lin said with a solemn expression.
"If the Zhen family rebels, Jizhou will be gone. The Zhen family is spread all over Jizhou. This is true." Cui Yan kept smiling bitterly. If the Zhen family really rebelled, Yuan Shao would lose almost as much even if he won in the frontal battlefield.
.
"The problem is that all families have the value of rebellion, but the Zhen family does not have the meaning of rebellion. Does the Zhen family have legitimate sons? No, does it have a successful bastard? No." Cui Yan asked and answered. This is also the reason why Yuan Shao let Zhen go.
For family reasons, a family that can't even solve the issue of heirs doesn't need to be looked at at all.
The issue of heirs cannot be solved. Who is responsible for the rebellion? Moreover, the woman in charge of the Zhen family is a woman. Didn’t she clearly not participate in any power games and just row around to watch the show?
Naturally, for a family with such a good boy, as long as Yuan Shao is clear in his mind, he will definitely not use violent means to attack. He will most likely use marriage to see if he can tie the other party to his own ship. After all, the Zhen family is rich.
As a result, the current situation is that the Zhen family has rebelled, and the Zhen family, which has no sense of rebellion at all, has rebelled. This makes Cui Yan extremely surprised. You must know that as long as the Zhen family hangs on the ground of Jizhou like this, no matter who takes control of Jizhou
Everyone needs to treat the Zhen family well. This is the family that controls the food and clothing expenses of the top of the Nine Provinces!
"Let's do it too. There is probably only one possibility. The Zhen family is sure that Liu Bei will win." Cui Lin looked at Cui Yan expectantly and said.
"Let's take action. The Zhen family has a great cause and has no rebellious value. Our Cui family has been divided into two. It's time for someone to explore the way. Let's take action directly. All the clan elders will be placed under house arrest." Cui Yan was extremely calm.
said.
The family has developed to this level and has long passed the bloody period when the entire family was pressured for a little profit. Steady progress is what they pursue, and if the Zhen family's actions are purely motivated by quick success, it is absolutely impossible!
You must know that when Zhen Yi handed over the position of head of the family to the Zhang family, not only to send a signal to other families to withdraw from the family hegemony, but also because the Zhang family valued the entire family extremely!
But the current situation is obvious that the Zhang family has not changed, so only the situation has changed, so Cui Yan is ready to take action without saying anything else.
At dawn the next day, the Cui family's private soldiers took over the entire city by changing defenses. As for Yuan Shaojun, Cui Yan sent him to collect the reward in the name of Xin Pi and Zhu Ling.
With money and food to eat, and the Cui family inspecting the city defense, Xinpi and Zhu Ling went to the Cui family to visit the Cui family. Wei Yan's army outside the city had retreated, and no one thought there was any problem. Cui Yan succeeded in this way
He took over the entire city, and then divided the well-fed Yuan Shaojun into various parts of the city and placed him under house arrest.
After doing this, Zhu Ling woke up dizzy. When he learned that Cui Yan had arranged the city defense and that no foreign enemies were coming, Zhu Ling just had some breakfast and lay down again. He didn't have any doubts about Cui Yan.
.
When Xinpi woke up, Cui Yan woke up before using Zhu Ling. He was dizzy and arranged the city defense, then fell asleep and fooled Xinpi, who was also about to have his head split. Last night, in order to get these two guys drunk, Cui Yan
Yan Ke is really a good drinker.
Xin Pi was also careless. He had no defense against Cui Yan in the first place. After learning that Zhu Ling was dizzy and ordered people to change defenses, he went to sleep. He knew that Zhu Ling was actually very reliable.
As a result, by the time Xu Shu and Wei Yan arrived, Cui Yan had completely taken over the entire Ganling. After seeing the Daxia Dragon Bird Sword, his originally majestic and indifferent face also had a touch of joy. The Cui family in Qinghe was right.
Got it!
Naturally, in this situation, Xin Pi and Zhu Ling had no way to do anything. When they were confused, they were captured by Xu Shu and Wei Yan respectively, and then tied into twists. The Qinghe Administration Office was captured by Liu Beijun from then on.
Later, relying on the Cui family's strong dominance in Qinghe, they quickly captured the entire Qinghe County.
At this time, it was less than four hours since Yuan Shao's fall, and Jizhou, the most important city in Hebei Province, had gradually fallen into Liu Bei's hands in a planned way. If Yuan Shao was still alive, he would probably sigh and know that his defeat was not unfair.
After accepting the entire Qinghe, Xu Shu and Wei Yan immediately started to register on the spot. Although there were only two of them, because the news of Yuan Shao's death had been known to Cui Yan, no one in the entire Qinghe dared to fail under the control of the Cui family.
Obeying the orders of Wei Yan and Xu Shu, the so-called general trend has been achieved, so it can be seen. (To be continued...)
