"The mountain rain is about to come, the wind is full of buildings, Liu Xuande and us are not all the way after all!" A soft sigh rang out in the darkness.

"We have already revealed the news to Yuan Highway, but there is no sign that he is going to send troops." A deep voice followed.

"Yuan Highway's heart is so ruthless! Leave no room for us all! There was resentment in the words, and at the same time there was fear and worry that could not be hidden.

"What about the main family in Yuzhou? What's going on? ”

"There is not the slightest news from us, and all the people sent out have been sunk into the sea and have not been heard from, and we are afraid that we have been abandoned and become outcasts."

Silent.

Although everyone understands this reality, when they hear this, they still feel related and sad.

"A strong man broke his wrist and abandoned his pawn to protect the car, this is the way for us people from the family to save our lives, and it is understandable. It's just that now I've become the chess piece that was abandoned, it's really sad! A self-deprecating sound rang out.

"Since we've taken this path, we've been prepared for this, aren't we?"

"We underestimated Yuan Shu's courage and underestimated Liu Xuande's ruthlessness."

"It's too late to regret it now, and now we should think about how to deal with Liu Bei's purge."

"But how could a mat weaver and shoe seller succeed if we hadn't helped him at the beginning? Now he doesn't want to reciprocate, and he turns against us, which is really wolf-hearted! One man was indignant.

"Yuan Shu acquiesced in this matter, we might as well vote for Yuan Shao."

"Liu Xuande has secretly deployed troops and horses in the past two months, and without us noticing, he has already deployed and controlled the entire Yanzhou, the northern border has been completely blocked, and all cities and the stations of our families have been strictly monitored, and it is impossible to abscond."

"Then we will rebel later, no matter what, it is better than sitting still."

"Liu Xuande has tens of thousands of soldiers in his hands, although we have a lot of private soldiers and young people, but they have never experienced a battle and have no capable generals to command, and there is no chance of winning a tough battle."

"Can you contact Yuan Benchu and ask him to send troops, we can help him capture Yanzhou."

"Yuan Benchu has just experienced several major wars and is recuperating, and he may not be able to send troops. What's more, Zhang Wenyuan of Qingzhou has been watching from the sidelines, and there are also many Chu troops stationed on the border around Yanzhou, so Yuan Benchu will definitely not send troops. ”

"What then? Is it true that we are only going to die? ”

"Even if we are alone, we cannot sit still. The whole of Yanzhou is basically under our control, although Liu Xuande firmly controls the military power, but as long as we control it properly, coerce public opinion, and arouse public anger, there is no chance to defeat Liu Xuande. A shadowy figure spoke.

"Brother Yuan, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this. What if it's ...... It's not a pity for us to die, for I'm afraid that our lord's family will also suffer! ”

"It's not poisonous, it's not a husband, as long as it's cut clearly, there won't be a big problem, we can't be killed." The shadowy figure revealed an almost crazy face, and his gaze swept sharply over the dozens of figures hidden in the darkness in front of him: "Now Liu Xuande has only left us with two ways, either lie at home, or rise up to resist, you choose!" ”

Everyone present glanced at each other, their eyes flashed, and finally someone gritted his teeth and stood up and said: "It's done, it's better to fight hard than to wait for death!" ”

"That's right, we are the real masters of Yanzhou, he Liu Xuande wants to turn his face with us, then we will change someone to support us."

"Because Yuangong, you can tell me directly, what should we do?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on the gloomy and squirting figure.

Yang Chen, one of the four great families of the late Han Dynasty, is a member of the Yang family, although he is a side branch but a genius, and now he is nearly fifty years old, he is already a famous Confucian in the world, and he broke away from the Yang family to establish a separate line. Among the people present, both his prestige and his family strength were respected by him, and in this case, he naturally became the backbone of the families under Liu Bei's command.

"Since everyone looks up to the old man, then the old man will not shirk. This operation is a backwater, and we must work together, and no one can be left behind. In order to ensure that everyone works together and to prevent leaks and accidents, please sign your name on a piece of paper. Yang Chen said, and took out a piece of paper from his arms with preparation.

Everyone stepped forward to take a look, and their faces suddenly turned ugly. What is written on the paper is nothing else, it is the letter of surrender to Yuan Shao and killing Liu Bei, if they sign their names, then they will only rebel all the way away.

After pondering for a while, everyone finally relented, gritted their teeth, and stepped forward to sign their names on the paper to show their sincerity.

Yang Chen watched everyone sign their names one by one, without exception, and nodded slightly: "Since everyone has signed, then we are the people on a grasshopper." If you have any bad intentions, then don't blame someone for being ruthless. When this handwritten book appeared on Liu Xuande's case, none of us wanted to pick it up. ”

"Because Yuangong can rest assured, we will understand." Hearing this, everyone sighed in their hearts and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. As Yang Chen said, now everyone is really a grasshopper on a rope, and there is no need to worry about being stabbed from behind by the people around you.

"Now that everyone is one, don't hide it anymore. The situation of each family, how many young and strong private soldiers it has, the personnel situation, the family industry, etc., are sorted out for me, and I can command and deploy. Yang Chen said in a flat tone.

"Because of Yuangong, this is ......." Hearing this, everyone present suddenly couldn't sit still.

"Don't panic, now we are people on the same road, at this time of life and death, all the gaps must be put aside, and no one wants to live without Liu Xuande. These things are not a big secret to each other, and if they can be counted realistically, they will be extremely important for our next actions. Lao Yu is here to guarantee that Lao Yu and the Yang family will never covet your family business, and they will never touch any of your family business in the future, otherwise people and gods will abandon it and you will not die well. Yang Chen said solemnly.

Everyone looked at Yang Chen, who had a solemn face, and discussed with each other for a long time when they thought of their current situation, and finally agreed to Yang Chen's somewhat excessive request. After all, so many people were staring, even Yang Chen didn't dare to come nonsense. Otherwise, under the attack of all the families, the Yang family will definitely not be able to hold on.

After reaching an agreement, the group deliberated for a while and then went their separate ways. In the evening of the same day, a secret letter was sent to the Yang Mansion through various means.

In the inner courtyard of the Yang Mansion, Yang Chen looked at the dozens of secret letters in front of him, and a strange smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
