Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

Although the various aristocratic families acted in front of Xu Shu, they were not a regular army and had no discipline at all, so there was no speed at all when they assembled.

When these aristocratic families assembled their guards and were about to go out, Li Jun had already surrounded them.

Although these aristocratic families were confused and didn't know why Li Jun, who was celebrating his victory, would appear here, but one thing was certain, that is, they were doomed.

In the Zhou family compound, Zhou Ruo was walking back and forth, waiting for the arrival of the various families, while Zhou You was also standing aside, constantly rubbing his hands to relieve his tension.

Zhou Ruo complained and said: "These people are so muddy that they can't support the wall. They don't have a sense of time at all. If they were placed in the army, they would have died thousands of times. Uncle, how long is it before two hours?"

Zhou You replied with an uneasy expression: "There is still a quarter of an hour. Do you think something will happen to them, or they won't be here for so long."

Zhou Ruo said indifferently, "What will happen then? If they don't come in half an hour, we will kill them ourselves."

"This..." Zhou You faltered for a moment, not knowing what to say, because the two of them alone could not accomplish anything.

"Da da da……"

While the two were anxiously waiting, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, Er Zhou immediately showed a smile on his face, but when he saw the person coming clearly, he turned completely pale again.

Zhou Ruo looked at the visitor in disbelief and said, "Zhao Zhao, Yun, how could you appear here? Aren't you celebrating your achievements?"

Zhao Yun said with no expression on his face: "Celebration? That's Master Xu's confusion. Master Xu already knew about this."

"No, no, no..." Zhou Ruo murmured to himself with an expression of disbelief, while Zhou You seemed to have lost his soul at this moment, and stayed where he was without saying a word.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, and immediately ordered his soldiers to take all these people away.

The Langye family did not agree with each other, they all escorted back to the prefect's mansion, the prefect's mansion was overcrowded for a while, but there was no sound.

Because there were too many people, Xu Shu ordered the family guards to be escorted to the military camp, leaving only the patriarch, which eased the situation.

However, Xu Shu's move made the patriarch of the family, who was already a frightened bird, beg for mercy.

"Master Xu, all of this has nothing to do with my Li family, it was all forced by the Zhou family..."

"Yes, Master Xu, please forgive me..."

……

Seeing that there were too many people, Xu Shu decided to arrange them in the compound. At this time, the number of people was reduced, and there was a lot of pleading. He couldn't let him do things at all, so he could only let them enter the banquet in the lobby.

"Everyone, I am very clear about what happened. If there is no one who participated, don't panic. Now I will go to the banquet with you."

After Xu Shu finished speaking, he waved his hand and asked the soldiers to drive these patriarchs into the hall, while he himself entered first.

When he came to the lobby and took a seat, Xu Shuhuan glanced at everyone and said, "Everyone knows everything you do in Langya."

"Zhou You, once forcibly beat the old man Wang's daughter, forced both his father and daughter to die, and occupied ten acres of Li's family's land, ruining his family..."

Xu Shu opened his mouth to talk about the crimes of the Zhou family, and each of them was true, which shocked the hearts of the people in the family, and no longer cared about saying that he was innocent.

Xu Shu mentioned more than ten crimes of the Zhou family in one breath, Fang stopped and said: "You must know the Zhou family's affairs better than Shu, so I won't say what you have done one by one."

"Today, you premeditated rebellion, and I can spare some of you, but the properties under your command have all been checked by the government and can only be operated if there is no problem."

"If there is a problem, it will be confiscated. Also, you must report the truth to the government if you conceal the population. Otherwise, once it is found out, the two crimes will be committed concurrently. Do you understand?"

When these aristocratic families heard this, they didn't understand what it meant, and they all nodded their heads to express that everything would follow the arrangement.

Xu Shu deliberately set up this situation in order to cut off the power of those aristocratic families, and let the officials dominate the situation, so that he has no worries after his army leaves.

If it was because of these aristocratic families that the gutter capsized, Xu Shu would not be able to face Li Huiyi.

Under Xu Shu's hard and soft tactics, the Langye family no longer dared to disagree, and cooperated very much with the government's inventory and investigation.

Xu Shu personally commanded the soldiers to single out those families with serious crimes, and those with only small faults would be punished slightly and let go.

Two days later, Xu Shu personally escorted those big crime families to the vegetable market, announced their crimes, and beheaded them for public display.

When the people of Langya heard the news, they all went to watch spontaneously. They didn't expect that such an aristocratic and powerful family would have today.

Those people who had been oppressed before, seeing the family members kneeling and waiting to be executed, picked up stones and threw them wildly, and they had to avoid the executioner for a while.

After the common people vented their anger, those aristocratic families only had half their lives left, and where there was any fear, they all wanted to die early and settle everything.

Seeing this, Zhu Da, who was in charge of beheading, didn't wait any longer. Instead, he obeyed their wish and raised the knife to drop the head to the ground. The people applauded and cheered.

Xu Shu's actions can be regarded as cleaning up Langya's people with different intentions, and at the same time subduing the hearts of the people, and taking advantage of Langya's incident, it is a good start for the future occupation of Xuzhou.

Xu Shu rested for ten days in Langya, let the soldiers spend a new year in Langya, and dealt with all the political affairs. After the situation was in the hands of the officials, he led the army and left, ready to continue to pursue Yuan Shao.

In Donghai County, at this time, all the troops came to support the army, except for the Qiang army sent by Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao withdrew to Donghai County, with fewer soldiers and horses under his command, his fighting spirit was already negative, and he had no intention of fighting anymore.

But Jushou insisted on persuading and encouraging him, which allowed him to regain some confidence and prepare for war.

At the Governor's Mansion of the East China Sea, Yuan Shao learned that Xu Shu's army had begun to attack, so he immediately invited Zhou Yu, Mi Zhu and others to discuss the military plan.

But looking at Zhou Yu's face, it doesn't seem very good-looking. This started when Zhou Yu took over Xiapi.

Sun Ce wanted to go to Xiapi, and Liu Bei wanted population, so Yuan Shao simply donated the population of Xiapi to Liu Bei.

Chapter 620 Decisive Battle (22)

At the Governor's Mansion of the East China Sea, Yuan Shao learned that Xu Shu's army had begun to attack, so he immediately invited Zhou Yu, Mi Zhu and others to discuss the military plan.

But looking at Zhou Yu's face, it doesn't seem very good-looking. This started when Zhou Yu took over Xiapi.

Sun Ce wanted Xiapi, and Liu Bei wanted population. Yuan Shao simply donated the population of Xiapi to Liu Bei. In this way, what Zhou Yu took over was Xiapi, where the people's livelihood was dying. How could this make him angry.

However, at this time, the two parties are cooperating, and Zhou Yu is also a person who has a view of the overall situation. It is impossible to cause displeasure at this time, but it is not a problem to put on a face.

After Yuan Shao told the news of Xu Shu's army marching out, he stopped talking and waited quietly for the two to speak.

Zhou Yu is a proud person, so he naturally wanted to impress Yuan Shao deeply, so he expressed his thoughts without thinking.

Zhou Yu bowed briefly, and said to Yuan Shao: "Yuan Zhoumu, Xu Shu's army is coming, Yu thinks that we can't defend the city, otherwise it will be the same result."

"Now that several groups of soldiers and horses are converging, there is no need for a decisive battle with Xu Shu in an upright manner. As long as the two sides are entangled to death, even if Li Jun has a mysterious weapon, there is no place to display it."

Hearing this, Yuan Shao nodded and said: "What Governor Zhou said is true, but Li Jun's melee combat is also top-notch. With the same strength, we will have no chance of winning."

Zhou Yu frowned. Yuan Shao's ability to say this in front of outsiders must be 100% true. If you know that the two sides are fighting, you are afraid that you will not look good on your side.

Most of the Yangzhou soldiers are brave in water battles, and they may be second- or third-rate in foot battles. This time Zhou Yu brought so-called elite soldiers, but it is hard to say how powerful they are in land battles.

At this moment, Mi Zhu also said, "Yes, Li Jun's bravery is well known throughout the world, and there are powerful weapons in this battle, so it is indeed difficult to defend."
