Lord Yuan

Chapter 175
When all the people who made arrangements returned, Yuan Shao also started the next arrangements.

Many of the previous policies were only aimed at one Zhao family. Compared with other powerful gentry, there was almost no loss. They were naturally happy to see the results and hoped that the Zhao family would die as miserably as possible so that they could take advantage of it. Divide its own remaining interests.

Of course Yuan Shao would not let them take over so smoothly.

A grand banquet was specially prepared to entertain these powerful people.

He also asked the pockmarked man to go to the Zhao family to invite Zhao Que, the head of the Zhao family, to a banquet. The remaining powerful families also sent people to invite him.

For Yuan Shao, the relationship on the table doesn't have much effect at all. He doesn't care whether the powerful people listen or not, as long as he finally makes the powerful people surrender, he can't let them collect money and do double-dealing behind the scenes. thing.

As for Han Dang, who was on the side, he was worried about the departure of the pockmarked man, fearing that he would tell Zhao Que everything about the situation here.

If you try to scare the snake, you will definitely fail. Could it be that Yuan Jun doesn't understand the reason behind this?

Or maybe Yuan Jun no longer takes the Zhao family seriously?
No, probably not. The Zhao family is one of the top tycoons in Liaodong. If they are given some time, they will leave the Liaodong vassal state and become a tycoon in the entire Liaodong county. After several generations of inheritance, they will become a disciple of a certain Confucian classics master. , it may not be impossible to achieve the name of a famous family by inheriting it.

With such strength, Yuan Jun has always been smart, how could he make a mistake in such a trivial matter?
One hundred secrets!
"Yuan Jun, that man's sly eyebrows will definitely end up in the same den as the Zhao family's snake and rat. If Zhao knew about the situation here, would he still come to the banquet? This move is probably to scare the snake and make it sink the boat. State."

Yuan Shao nodded: "Of course I know this, but he is actually a chess piece, a chess piece that made Zhao Qi throw the rat into a trap."

Han Dang didn't understand what he meant, but Xu You on the side suddenly smiled and praised: "You thought you had seen through Ben Chu, but you never thought that you would hear Ben Chu's plan again now. It is really admirable and admirable."

As soon as these words came out, Han Dang became even more confused, and Wen Chou on the side was also quite puzzled.

Xu You laughed loudly and paced back and forth in the courtyard from time to time.

Most of this plan against powerful people passed through his hands. The powerful people occupied such a good position but never brought any blessings to the local area. For Li Shu and Yuan Shao, it has not been a problem for a long time. It's a good thing, Xu You knows this.

Although it is quite difficult to deal with those powerful people, Xu You relies on his superb intelligence and can always find out the clues from the clues.

Sure enough, under Xun Chen's joint attack, those foreign tribe officials were quickly defeated by the mouth supply. On the other hand, Yan Liang, Huang Zhong and others had also successfully completed their mission. Many of the captured supplies were obtained by members of the Zhao family who were pretending to be business travelers. They were all thrown into prison quietly. Yuan Shao got the letter again and even sent a Xianbei letter to Zhao Que in order to make him relax his vigilance.

Xu You had not thought of this for the time being, perhaps because the authorities were obsessed with it.

In addition, Wen Chou enlisted the help of Han Dang to capture the gangsters who were digging people's graves and put them all in prison.

With so many methods, the Zhao family still couldn't catch any news.

And this pockmarked man is a clue that Yuan Shao specially gave to Zhao Que. Zhao Que just gave Yuan Shao so much money a few days ago, which is equivalent to having something in his hands. Naturally, he will not be afraid of Yuan Shao's actions. .

Therefore, even if the pockmarked man told Zhao Que all the news here, the other party would only regard it as a large-scale attack by Yuan Shao. It was just a coincidence that the Zhao family was affected. Perhaps it was also to show off to other powerful people. The gentry acted like this because they wanted benefits.

It can only be said that when Zhao Que himself came to the door the day before yesterday and gave Yuan Shao the key that symbolized a form of bribery, his demise was doomed.

As for these, Xu You saw through the plan at a glance, and Yuan Shaofan discussed everything with Xu You and Xunchen, which made the current situation secretly completely tilted to Yuan Shao's side, but the powerful people were still there. Thinking it has an absolute advantage.

And these, no matter how good Han Dang is in strategy, he can only be regarded as the younger brother in the face of Xu You, who has always been known as a madman.

Therefore, when Xu You brought out all the plots hidden in the dark, Han Dang was shocked. He did not expect that Yuan Jun had done so much to make the powerful men submit, and at the same time even sent the pockmarked man It's all part of the plan.

Han Dang could only sigh with sincerity. With the multiple calculations of Yuan Jun and other strategists, it was not in vain to expend so much effort. At this time, he was also imagining that if the long history of the past could have With such a capable person helping me, and with Yuan Jun's foresight and ability, I wonder if I can make a comeback and avoid death.

Wen Chou looked at Yuan Shao with reverence. He only treated Yuan Shao's plans as normal. No matter how earth-shattering things Yuan Shao could do, he was already accustomed to them, unlike Han Dang. So shocked.

The pock-marked man escaped from the sea of ​​misery. Even though Yuan Shao obviously did not inflict many criminal penalties on him, when he saw the prisoners who were hung up and looked like human beings, his stomach turned upside down, and even the overnight meal would inevitably overflow a little.

Now that he finally left there, as for what Yuan Changshi said about inviting Zhao Que to the Duwei Mansion for a banquet, he planned to tell him everything he saw so that he could prepare in advance.After all, compared with a little Changshi, it seems that the Zhao family's legs are more comfortable to hold, and there is no risk.

So, when the pockmarked man with a heavy responsibility was invited into the Zhao family's house, he started to perform like a movie king.

He had not systematically studied this technique, but at this time, through his vivid performance and rhetorical expressions, even Zhao Que couldn't help but applaud and praise him.

When he learned that Yuan Changshi had arrested many people, even many other powerful people had been arrested.

Zhao Que's heart became much more balanced in an instant. It was not just against the Zhao family, but perhaps because he did not know the origin, which led to such a misunderstanding. This was an accidental injury by friendly forces. As long as he went to the door to explain, compared to Yuan Changshi You will turn a blind eye.

If he doesn't want to, he can produce the evidence of the key, and Yuan Changshi won't dare to disobey it.

Thinking of this, Zhao laughed. Now he had taken the absolute initiative in advance. As long as he did not seek death, and the new chief minister was not like his predecessor, he had completely moved closer to his side. The development of the Zhao family would surely be prosperous. .

The pock-marked man looked at the Zhao family head, who had always been cold and cold, but smiled, thinking that he had finally done something very right.

He climbed up the pole and said: "Master, most of the people captured by Yuan Changshi have been severely tortured, and the blood on their bodies has dried, which is enough to show the evil in their hearts. If they are not killed as soon as possible, Eradication will ultimately cause many obstacles to the future development of the Zhao family."

He naturally hopes that the Zhao family will become more and more powerful. In this case, as the weakling of the Zhao family, his status will rise even higher. If he can use the prestige of the Zhao family to establish a small landowner of his own, then It couldn't be better.

However, now, Yuan Changshi is in front of him. He has arrested so many powerful people and bullied them wantonly. He will definitely arouse the hostility of many powerful people. If we can take this opportunity to eradicate this tough-minded Changshi, replace him with a relatively mediocre one. The arrival of people will be of great benefit to the development of the Zhao family.

Who would have thought that the pockmarked man who wanted to take credit for this was suddenly slapped so loudly that he couldn't find the other side of the world. Just when he was still doubtful, Zhao kicked him hard again, and there was still something in his mouth. He scolded angrily: "It is rare for you to have evil heart. You have repeatedly slandered Yuan Changshi's kind-hearted attitude. What's your intention? I won't punish you today and spread the word to punish me." The Zhao family doesn’t know how to behave!”

Zhao Quedang summoned his servants and dragged him to the backyard, where he was beaten and kicked.

When the pockmarked man appeared again, his face no longer looked like his face, and his mouth didn't look like his mouth. Even so, the pockmarked man couldn't figure it out.

Obviously, Yuan Changshi had arrested so many members of the Zhao family and tortured them severely to force them to write down the crimes committed by the Zhao family over the years. However, the head of the Zhao family didn't seem to hear it. Instead, he praised the culprits and paid them back in the end. Give yourself a good fight as the messenger who brings important information.

Is this something normal people can do?
After being severely tortured by reality, he still did not forget to remind Zhao Que not to go to the Hongmen Banquet. That Yuan Changshi was not a good person at first glance. If he was imprisoned or even tortured by him, the Zhao family would inevitably be destroyed. of blow.

Zhao, who had already calmed down, became furious when he heard this. He slandered the good relationship between the Zhao family and Yuan Changshi several times. He had long been holding a fire in his heart, and he immediately summoned his servants. He helped him to the backyard and started to do it himself. Not long after, the heartbreaking wailing came from the backyard again.

Having already taken the initiative on the court, and having established a relationship with Yuan Changshi, Yuan Changshi had no reason to hand him the knife. Naturally, Zhao took the best of the clan. The younger nephew Zhao Jian was let go.

In his opinion, the overall situation has been decided now and cannot be changed by Zhao Jian. He can continue to carry out the next actions with confidence and boldness.

For example, the news from the Xianbei leader was that they would send another batch of the same ordnance supplies as last time, but the profit would be three times. Such a huge profit naturally made Zhao Que ecstatic.

The Xianbei people didn't understand the true value of the gold and jewelry, but Zhao had a very high profit premium. Now that it had tripled, he immediately started arranging the matter.

With a profit of [-]%, he dares to take risks. With a profit of [-]%, the laws of the world are trampled under his feet. With a profit of [-]%, he dares to ignore any crime, even if it is a murder.

No one knows this sentence yet, but what Zhao actually said exactly corresponds to these words. For this reason, even though he knew it was a fool's errand, he still devoted himself to it without hesitation. The high profits would make people lose their minds. Lose judgment on things.

Obviously, the continuous good news had made him feel elated, and for some reason, he just ignored the letter, which would reveal something fishy if he delved deeper into it.

On the contrary, Zhao Jian warned him many times. Even if it was not for the Zhao family, the frontier soldiers, or the Han people, he could not continue to provide weapons to the foreigners outside the Great Wall. In the end, those sharp blades would eventually chop off his head.

However, Zhao found that no matter how much he tried to persuade Yuan Changshi and bribed Yuan Changshi, Zhao Jian was always the same.

So what if Xianbei develops? The Han Dynasty is the orthodox dynasty, and the number of soldiers under his command has been intimidating to the surrounding foreign tribes until now. What can a small Xianbei do?

As long as the Zhao family can become a famous family, he will die without regrets. As for other people, what does it have to do with him?
