The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 352 The wall fell and everyone pushed it
Su You looked at everyone and said calmly: "Everyone, the current situation is very clear. The Yuan family's broken ship is about to capsize. We should also change our owner."

Feng Li and others also nodded.

"The Prime Minister's troops have already reached the Zhang River, but Shen Pei is still thinking of defending the city and attempting to rely on Yecheng to resist the Prime Minister's attack. He is simply courting his own death." Xin Ping sneered.

He did not have a good relationship with Shen Pei. Shen Pei was too upright and had bad relationships with many people under Yuan Shao. He could not get along well with them.

"The only thing I'm worried about is our support for Yuan Shao. All the money and food we gave to Yuan Shao some time ago." Zhang Ziqian said with a wry smile.

Last year, Qin Shou's order spread throughout Hebei. At that time, many aristocratic families did not take this order seriously.

Only now do I feel scared, afraid that Qin Shouqiu will settle the score with me later.

"We are oppressed by Yuan Shao. If we don't offer food and grass, our lives may be in danger. Therefore, we are forced to offer food and grass." Feng Li immediately explained: "Also, we have given a lot to Yuan Shao, but we will give more to the Prime Minister."

What these aristocratic families have is money and food. They have plenty of money and food, so they can give some support to Yuan Shao, but they can give more to Qin Shou.

At worst, they could just lie dormant for a while. These noble families had plenty of time. In their opinion, no matter who was in power, they could live happily.

"Under the Prime Minister's rule, what matters is rent and interest reduction. Merchants are discriminated against, but as long as you make a mistake, you will be punished according to the law. The Qin style under his command is pervasive." Xin Pi looked indifferent.

Having said so much, I actually just want to tell everyone that it is easy to get by under Qin Shou, but it is not an easy thing to oppress the common people and enjoy the privileges of a noble family.

There is no way the Prime Minister would let this happen.

This is also the reason why the aristocratic families do not like Qin Shou, because the Cavalry Army’s attitude towards the aristocratic families is really not good.

Unlike other places, many problems can be solved with money.

Unfortunately, now everyone has to bow their heads. The other side is strong in both military and military and is about to unify Hebei. Facing such a powerful person, everyone has to be cautious.

"Since this has already been decided, we should not change anything. We should all restrain our troops and wait for the Prime Minister's troops to arrive. Then we can open the city gates and welcome the Prime Minister into the city." Su You glanced at everyone and finally his eyes fell on Shen Rong.

Shen Rong's face suddenly showed a trace of embarrassment, and he quickly said: "This matter concerns the safety of our Shen family. My uncle is just representing an individual."

Shen Rong felt sad. To be honest, Shen Pei treated him very well. But there was nothing he could do. Shen Pei was only loyal to Yuan Shao and was very dissatisfied with Qin Shou.

Even if Qin Shou personally led a large army to attack, Shen Pei would rather defend Yecheng to the death, but he never considered the lives of more than a hundred people in the Shen family.

"Hmph, if Yuan Benchu ​​were still alive, we would have no objection to betraying each other. But now Yuan Benchu ​​is dead, and the third son of the Yuan family is incompetent and unable to protect the people of Hebei. Do we have to be buried with the Yuan family?" Xin Pi sneered.

He was mocking Shen Pei. If he was a loyal person, he should have been loyal to Han Fu instead of Yuan Shao. Who was he pretending to be for?
Everyone nodded after hearing this. It was indeed the case. After all, Shen Pei was a bad man and had offended many people in Yecheng. Now he was even more ignorant. Yuan Shao's empire was already on the verge of collapse, but the other party was still holding on to Yuan's broken ship. Who would still support him?

"When the Prime Minister arrives with his army, we will open the city gates and welcome him into the city."

Su You said loudly.

"It's natural."

Everyone agreed, and after some discussion, they said goodbye and left. Qin Shou personally led the army to the Zhang River. Beyond the Zhang River was the tall Ye City, which was originally an unknown place. Because of Yuan Shao's arrival, Ye City became a powerful city in the north.

"It's a pity that Yuan Shao owns a strong city and occupies the land of Hebei, but he cannot use it." Qin Shou and others looked at the city wall in the distance.

Although the Zhang River has a geographical advantage, unfortunately, Shen Pei did not have many soldiers under his command, and could only watch the cavalry easily cross the Zhang River and charge towards Yecheng.

"If Yuan Shao can calm down, develop in Hebei with peace of mind, and defend the Yellow River defense line, the final outcome is still uncertain, and there is even a possibility that the lord will be defeated."

Pang Tong hit the nail on the head.

Although no one said anything, they had to admit that what Pang Tong said made sense. That was the case. As long as Yuan Shao, who occupied the northern land, could develop peacefully for a few years, he would be the winner in the end.

Unfortunately, Yuan Shao did not accept the advice of Tian Feng and others, which led to the disaster today and now he has even lost his life.

"There is no pity about the future. It is clearly destiny. My lord, this is destiny." Dian Wei suddenly said this unexpectedly.

Everyone looked at each other after hearing this. This destiny was not just a casual remark. Everyone's eyes fell on Qin Shou, but they saw that he had a calm expression, as if he had not heard anything.

"My lord." Jia Xu took a deep breath and wanted to say something.

"Wenhe, let's not say some things. It's still a little early to say these things now. Let's talk about it after we unify Hebei!" Qin Shou stopped everyone's thoughts.

He never concealed his ambitions, whether it was the Duke, the King, or even the Emperor! These were what he deserved, but not now.

The overall situation in the world is still unsettled. If we take further steps now, we will just make people laugh. It will be just like Yuan Shu, who had no ability but wanted to become emperor. In the end, the whole world attacked him and he was soon killed.

If Qin Shou unified the north, would anyone unite against him when there were only a few heroes left in the world? Those who should be destroyed have been destroyed, and those who should surrender have surrendered. What else do you care about?
"Lord Shengming."

When everyone heard this, joy immediately showed on their faces.

Who doesn't want to ennoble his wife and children, and who doesn't want to achieve great things? Aren't we all following Qin Shou just for this?
"Prime Minister, Prime Minister."

Pang De came running in the distance, holding a small piece of silk cloth in his hand, and shouted: "Prime Minister, this is the news from Yecheng."

"Oh, there is news from Yecheng? But is it the Xin brothers?"

Qin Shou's eyes lit up.

"Prime Minister, I led the army to Yecheng to solicit surrender. The enemy fired thousands of arrows at us, and the soldiers discovered it from those sharp arrows."

Pound said quickly.

Qin Shou had already opened the silk cloth at this time, and his face showed even more joy as he looked at the contents on it.

"When the wall falls, everyone pushes it. What if Shen Pei is prepared to defend Yecheng to the death? Others will not be buried with the Yuan family." Qin Shou laughed and said, "Pass the order to enter the city at three o'clock tonight."
