"The assistants and chariots are dependent on each other, and the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. The Zheng family is the Zheng family of Ji County and the Zheng family of Youzhou. If the Zheng family is really killed by Yuan Zhoumu for unfounded crimes, you can guarantee that you will not be the next Zheng family or the next Zheng Kui."
?"
Seeing the flashing eyes of several big families, Zheng Kui knew something was wrong. Liu Yu was not so rough at the beginning. He wanted to deal with them only by suppressing them, and the worst thing he could do was to abandon them. That's why several big families had the courage to unite to fight against them.
The situation is indeed different now. Yuan Shu opened his mouth to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan. This is a bit too cruel.
It's easy to say they won, but if Yuan Shu doesn't care about his reputation and is more ruthless, they will end up being wiped out together with the Zheng family and never be reincarnated.
What Zheng Kui said was indeed reasonable. The eyes of the aristocratic family, which had been a little shaken at first, became firmer and began to gradually move towards Zheng Kui.
"Your lips are dead and your teeth are cold? Mr. Zheng is very eloquent, so you have decided to stand with the Zheng family and fight against me."
Yuan Shu's smile grew bigger and bigger, but the chill in his eyes could only be felt by Zhao Yun beside him.
"Xilulu."
Zhaoye Jade Lion shook his head uneasily, and he also felt the aura emanating from Yuan Shu's body.
"Quiet."
Zhao Yun had to pat his assistant with his hand to signal him not to panic.
"No, no, the Zheng family is known as the King of Hell in Ji County, and the director it oversees has a monopoly on Youzhou's war horses, ordnance, and procurement of grain and grass. I, Zhang Duan, will never associate with such a moron."
A middle-aged man about forty years old stood up and expressed his attitude towards Yuan Shu. He was the one who advocated the rule of law in the Zhang family.
"Zhang family?"
Seeing the person who jumped out, Yuan Shu looked confused.
"My lord, the Zhang family is also a big family in Jixian County, but it is a rising family. It started out by making ordnance. It wants to develop in all aspects, but it is suppressed by the established family headed by the Zheng family and can be won over."
Xun Chen's voice came from the carriage.
"It is said that those who know the current affairs are heroes. Zhang Duan, you are very good. Who else?"
Yuan Shu nodded to Zhang Duan.
"Liu Xu will never associate with the Zheng family."
"Zhou Ping is willing to follow in Lord Zhou Mu's footsteps."
"Hu Wei."
One by one, aristocratic families stood up and stood beside Zhang Duan. These were new aristocratic families with weak power, and they wanted to take this opportunity to board Yuan Shu's ship and create a new situation.
"Haha, is there anything else?"
Yuan Shu looked down at the noble families in front of him and found that they were clearly divided into two factions. One side was the old aristocratic family in Jixian with Zheng Kui as its capital, and the other was the newly promoted aristocratic family with Zhang Duan as its capital.
"Okay, since it's gone, where is Ying Yang's army?"
At this point in the process, things have basically been finalized, and it is clear whether they are friends or foes.
"exist."
Zhao Yun drove a jade lion that illuminated the night and came to Yuan Shu with his head held high.
"The aristocratic family headed by Zheng Kui ransacked all their homes. The young and old were spared, and all the young and middle-aged were sent to labor camps. Anyone who dared to resist was killed without mercy."
Yuan Shu's words determined life and death. These aristocratic families had been suffering from bad luck for eight lifetimes. They originally thought that the ship would be able to withstand the wind and waves, but unexpectedly it encountered a storm and the ship capsized.
"Yuan Shu, you dare."
Zheng Kui was so angry that his beard flew up. He didn't expect that Yuan Shu would dare to risk the disapproval of the world and issue a killing order to him.
"Yuan Feng, lead teams one to five to the Zheng family."
"promise."
"Zhou Bo, you lead the sixth to tenth teams to the Lin family."
"promise."
"Zhang Chi, you lead teams 11 to 15 to the Li family."
Ignoring the nobles sitting here, Zhao Yun directly assigned the tasks.
Groups of cavalry rushed out, bypassing the people outside the city, and rushed into Jixian City.
"It's over, it's over, sir, I am willing to follow in your footsteps."
"Me too, I surrender, everything is at your discretion."
"My lord."
Only now did the nobles standing next to Zheng Kui know fear, regret, and realize that in the face of absolute strength, so-called wealth and fame are nothing but fleeting clouds.
They cried, wailed, and even knelt down before Yuan Shu, but now it was too late. As the saying goes, once the emperor and the courtiers, these established families would eventually become the victims after Yuan Shu came to power.
On this day, people in Jixian County were in panic. Several major families headed by the Zheng family were swept away at the same time. The properties of these families in Jixian County and Wubao outside Jixian County all became the properties of the State Mufu, that is, Yuan Shu, and those families
The young and middle-aged men were also immediately sent to labor camps.
As for those old and young, Yuan Shu did not kill them all, but gave them enough wealth and allowed them to live freely.
"Come on, come on, Zitai, this is Xun Chen and Xun Youruo. You have already met him. I guess you don't need to introduce me."
Yuan Shu held a banquet to invite Tian Chou to let Xun Chen gain a foothold in Youzhou. This person was the key among the keys.
Tian Chou looked at Xun Chen sitting opposite, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"Brother Youruo, you are polite."
"Brother Zitai, you are polite."
The two greeted each other.
"Okay, no more nonsense, Zitai, I will return to Jizhou soon. After I leave, Youzhou will be left to you and Youruo."
Tian Chou's name was green with yellow in Yuan Shu's eyes, which proved that he was loyal to him. Although he was not as loyal as Xun Chen and others, he would not betray easily.
"Sir, I will definitely assist Brother Youruo with all my strength, and Youzhou will definitely be your stable rear."
After hearing Yuan Shu's words, Tian Chou quickly stood up to express his loyalty. After all, Yuan Shu's behavior was simply too cruel.
"Don't say that. When the time comes, I will appoint you to be in charge of governance, and Youruo to be in charge of Youzhou. You will be in charge of government affairs, and Youruo will be in charge of foreign affairs. You must fully support his foreign wars. Within two years, I will
Take the entire territory of Youzhou."
The two people opposite will be the people in charge of Youzhou in the future. He must first set the tone and focus on Xun Chen's foreign war.
"promise."
"promise."
Xun Chen and Tian Chou nodded in agreement one after another. At this moment, they had reached a consensus. They fully supported Xun Chen based on the tone set by Yuan Shu.
By the next day, the political scene in Youzhou had completely changed.
The influence of the old aristocratic families in the government was wiped out, and the new aristocratic families headed by Zhang Duan all appeared on the stage and united under the command of Xun Chen and Tian Chou.
Xun Chen and Tian Chou have gained a firm foothold with the support of these new aristocratic families. Next, it depends on how Xun Chen will proceed.
After staying in Jixian for a few days, the 10,000 war horses promised by the system were also sent to Youzhou in the name of horse traders. After meeting the army, Yuan Shu left Youzhou and headed towards Jizhou.
"We sincerely welcome my lord, and we will secure Youzhou in one battle."
Outside Xindu, Tian Feng had already led the civil and military forces to wait for Yuan Shu.
"Yuan Hao, there's no need to do this. Let's go into the city."
The army marched into the city in great force, and the people were welcoming them along the way.
"Yuan Hao, why are you the only one here?"
Yuan Shu looked at Tian Feng in front of him and was a little confused as to where Ju Shou had gone.
