Three Kingdoms: Summon the Heroic Soul Yue Fei at the beginning

Chapter 194 Came to Xuzhou
Chapter 194 Came to Xuzhou
Cao Ren's complexion changed when he heard this, and he was very angry, but after the anger, he was more frightened.

He was terrified that Ye Xiao was so powerful that he could put eyeliner beside Cao Cao.

After being terrified, Cao Ren's expression turned into pleading. He knew that the reason why Bai Qi told him this was because in Bai Qi's eyes, Cao Ren was already a dead person.

In order to survive, Cao Ren let go of his last dignity and knelt down in front of Bai Qi, begging and begging Bai Qi.

"General, I beg you, don't kill me, please..."

Bai Qi looked at him coldly, shook his head and said.

"Cao Ren, I don't care about this matter, you can ask my majesty, but I guess my majesty will kill you..."

Seeing that begging was useless, Cao Ren immediately began to curse.

"Bai Qi, you're going to die... woo woo"

The confidant gagged Cao Ren after hearing this, and punched Cao Ren under the armpit. In an instant, Cao Ren, who was alive and kicking, fell to his knees without any strength, and the confidant grabbed Cao Ren like a chicken.

Going to the county, Ye Xiao saw Cao Ren being tied up and pushed over.

"Prefect Ye, please let me go."

After Cao Ren saw Ye Xiao, he kowtowed continuously. At this moment, he didn't want any face, he just wanted to survive.

Ye Xiao didn't want to hear him say so much and waved his hand.

"Come here, take it down and kill it."

Following Ye Xiao's order, Cao Ren was dragged down and chopped down.

"Bai Qi, I will hand over this Shangjun to you in the future."

"My lord, are you leaving?"

Ye Xiao nodded when he heard Bai Qi's question.

"Yes, Liu Bowen wrote to say that he found something in Xuzhou, and I'm going to have a look."

It turned out that since Liu Bowen came to Xuzhou that day, the first thing he did was to send Jin Yiwei to investigate the big businessmen in Xuzhou and those families who had surrendered to Yue Fei.

Under Jin Yiwei's investigation day and night, Liu Bowen discovered the trick.

Many wealthy merchants joined forces with local aristocratic families to control the price of salt and oppress the common people.

Not only that, these aristocratic families and wealthy merchants even had an affair with Yuan Shao. Originally, Liu Bowen planned to directly send troops to kill all these wealthy merchants.

But considering that these people hold Xuzhou's economic lifeline, and the evidence they have found now is all unannounced visits.

Liu Bowen did not have any substantive evidence, so Liu Bowen wrote to Ye Xiao, hoping that Ye Xiao could come to Xuzhou.

Originally, Ye Xiao planned to set off at that time, but because of Cao Cao's sudden attack, Ye Xiao could only deal with the harassment of foreign enemies first.

At this time, all the enemies in Shangjun had been driven out, so Ye Xiao could leave with peace of mind.

"After I leave, you will slowly erode Cao Cao's territory while strengthening the defense of Shangjun."

"Yes."

In fact, Ye Xiao also wanted to destroy Cao Cao, but the problems in Xuzhou held him back.

Xuzhou is Ye Xiao's main base for salt production. If there is a problem in Ye Xiao's territory, the price of salt will skyrocket.

This will cause great damage to Ye Xiao's existing economy, so Ye Xiao plans to solve the problem of Xuzhou's wealthy merchants first.

Then free up your hands to deal with Cao Cao.

………….
After a few days' journey, Ye Xiao came to Xuzhou. The aristocratic families in Xuzhou came out of the city to greet Ye Xiao when they knew he was coming.

"General, the head of the Xu family, Xu Deyuan, is here to welcome the general."

The Xu family was originally just a small family in Xuzhou, and was oppressed by other big families.

So Xu Deyuan decided to submit to Yue Fei when Yue Fei entered Xuzhou, and follow Yue Fei to clean up the major families.

The Xu family took the opportunity to rise and became the largest family in Xuzhou.

"Master Xu is being polite."

Ye Xiao looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and smiled. Most people can't imagine that such an honest-looking man has seven or eight wives.

Ye Xiao and Xu Deyuan entered the city after finishing their greetings.

"General, this time the Xu family is dedicated to welcome the general at the Hongyan Tower, and hope the general will show his face."

Ye Xiao looked at Xu Deyuan and said with a smile.

"There is no need to eat. The general is exhausted from the journey, and I am a little tired. I want to rest first."

"General, since you are tired, then Xu will not bother you."

After speaking, Xu Deyuan bid farewell to Ye Xiao with everyone in his family.

After Xu Deyuan returned to Xu's house, he went to the back hall of Xu's house, and ordered people to close the door tightly.

In the back hall, all the major families and wealthy merchants in Xuzhou are reunited here.

"Master Xu, why did Ye Xiao come here suddenly? Could it be that he discovered something?"

The Patriarch of the Wang family saw Xu Deyuan entering the back hall and asked first.

"Maybe it's just passing by. Besides, how can we be discovered if we do such a covert thing?"

Xu Deyuan said with a smile thinking about Ye Xiao's attitude after seeing Ye Xiao today.

"Master Xu, I don't think things are that simple. First Liu Bowen and then Ye Xiao came in person."

"Even if Ye Xiao didn't find anything, we have to prepare for the worst."

The man who spoke was Tian Feng, Yuan Shao's adviser.

"Tian Feng, what do you think we should do?"

Tian Feng pondered for a while and came in front of all the Patriarchs, and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"How can we deal with Ye Xiao?"

Seeing Tian Feng's gesture Xu Deyuan naturally knew what Tian Feng meant.

"But you Patriarchs, if you don't do something now, when Ye Xiao finds out, it will be the time of your death."

What Tian Feng said is correct, just having an affair with Yuan Shao is enough for Ye Xiao to kill all these aristocratic families.

"There are five hundred dead men in my family who can be mobilized."

The head of the Wang family stood up and said to Tian Feng.

"I also have three hundred in my family."

As countless patriarchs got up, Tian Feng roughly counted the number of dead men these patriarchs could mobilize, and found that they could actually mobilize more than 1 people.

"Okay, with these people, it's easy to deal with Ye Xiao!"

Tian Feng touched his beard and said with a smile.

"Mr. Natian, when shall we do it?"

Xu Deyuan looked at Tian Feng and asked, and when he heard Xu Deyuan's words, Tian Feng looked up at the sky, then thought for a while and said.

"I don't know if you want to kill Ye Xiao directly, or to gain greater benefits from Ye Xiao?"

"Isn't killing Ye Xiao the best interest?"

Xu Deyuan didn't understand Tian Feng's words and asked.

"Of course not. Ye Xiao's death is nothing more than chaos in Yuzhou, but his subordinates will definitely come to Xuzhou to take revenge on everyone."

Hearing what Tian Feng said, Xu Deyuan nodded in agreement. After all, he had seen the bravery of Yue Fei and others with his own eyes.

"Then how to get the most benefit?"

Xu Deyuan stood up and asked.

"First of all, we need to create public opinion to make him lose popular support in Xuzhou, and then we take advantage of this opportunity to capture Ye Xiao alive..."

Tian Feng got up and went to the crowd and whispered to them.

"As expected of Mr. Tian, ​​this is a great strategy. In this way, we can not only own Xuzhou, but even the entire Yuzhou."
