After occupying Yecheng, Zhao Fei stationed his troops to rest. Now that Yecheng has been taken, it means that half of Yuan Shao's country is already Cao Jun's. Now, the Cao army has sent troops to annex the state, and Yuan Tan of Qingzhou is also struggling to support under the attack of Zang Ba, although the situation is still stable, but it must not be able to support for long.

The state was in turmoil, and it didn't take much time and experience to take the state. And Qingzhou is the same, Yuan Tan is isolated, and if Cao Jun attacks Yuan Tan on both sides, it won't be long before he will be defeated. Moreover, now that Cao Jun has taken half of Jizhou, it is also cut off Yuan Tan's idea of withdrawing troops and escaping. Now Yuan Tan can only sit in Qingzhou and meet the result that has no chance of winning.

At present, the only trouble is Youzhou. At present, Youzhou is probably the most complete state and county in the whole of Hebei. Moreover, Yuan Shang risked his death to go, and he always went to Youzhou to defect to Yuan Xi.

Although Cao Jun won half of Jizhou, the other half was obviously still surnamed Yuan. Yuan Shang would definitely not take only a few hundred soldiers to Yuan Xi, half of Jizhou still has a lot of things that can be used, and after these, Yuan Xi's strength will obviously increase a lot.

Yuan Xi knew that Cao Jun would never let himself go in Youzhou, so he would definitely seize this rare opportunity to accumulate strength. Although the combat effectiveness of the recruits is low, but there are better than none, the ants bite the elephant to death, and the individual soldiers can't do it, so they can only rely on the soldiers.

After Zhao Fei led his troops to conquer Yecheng, he stopped attacking. After all, the order he received was to conquer Yecheng. Now that Yecheng has been taken, the next time is to wait for new orders. And Xuchang has already sent news that Cao Cao has already set off, so what he has to do now is to garrison Yecheng and wait for Cao Cao's arrival by the way.

The Cao army garrisoned Yecheng, which made the major scholars in Yecheng fearful. Now they don't dare to act rashly, for fear that if they are not careful, Cao's army will suddenly arrive, and then break into the door without saying anything.

It is an indisputable fact that they once helped Yuan Shang defend the city, although they did something afterwards, not only took back the private soldiers sent by the foreigners, but also took advantage of the chaos to open the walls of Yecheng to welcome Cao's army into the city, but these could not make them feel at ease after all. In order to discuss how to deal with Cao Jun, the patriarchs of several major scholars contacted each other and prepared to have a meeting to discuss how to deal with Cao Jun.

"What does Cao Jun mean by this, after they conquered Yecheng, they have no other plans, does he really want to eat us?" A patriarch of the Shi clan patted the case and said. This person's name is Fei Yun, and he is one of the most wealthy families in Yecheng. Fei Yun's face was relatively rough, and he looked like a quick-tempered person.

But if you really judge people by their appearance, it will be a little sloppy, everyone here knows that don't look at this Fei Yun's rough appearance, but he is as cunning as a fox in his heart. But it's no wonder that since he can become the head of a clan, he is definitely not a simple person. This is a society where people eat people, and if they don't have the ability, they will die.

"Even if Cao Jun wants to eat us, I'm afraid he doesn't have that much appetite!" A man said coldly. When everyone heard the sound, they saw a tall and thin middle-aged man standing up. This person's name is Yan Xi, and he is the patriarch of the Yan clan in Yecheng.

"I don't know if Cao Jun's statue will eat us, but I think Cao Jun has such a big appetite." This made me hear someone say quietly. When everyone heard the sound, they found that the person who spoke was Zhen Yan. Who Zhen Yan is is very clear to everyone, he is the patriarch of Zhen Shi.

The Zhen family is the largest family in Hebei, and during the reign of Yuan Shao, the Zhen family can be described as unlimited venture capital. And now that the Yuan clan has been defeated, it is obvious that the position of the Zhen clan is still unshakable. This is not a big talk, but a manifestation of strength, except for the Yuan clan who has been defeated, there is no greater clan than the Zhen clan.

When all the patriarchs heard Zhen Yan say this, they all showed a trace of sadness. Zhen Yan obviously couldn't lie to himself, he said that Cao Jun had such a big appetite, that really proved that Cao Jun had such a big appetite. So when I think of this, all the patriarchs of the Shi clan don't know what to do.

But they are okay, and the one who is most worried is Zhen. Zhen Yan used to be a general, and his sister Zhen Ji was also married to Yuan Shao's second son, Yuan Xi. The relationship between the Zhen family and the Yuan family is so close, if Cao Jun really wants to rectify the scholars in Yecheng, then the Zhen family should bear the brunt.

"I agree with Brother Yan's statement, that Zhao Fei can't be analyzed with common sense." Fei Yun said in a deep voice, and after he finished speaking, everyone sighed slightly, Zhao Fei is definitely a character, this person must not be offended.

"Anyway, I'll see this Zhao Fei later, how about you wait?" Zhen Yan asked in a deep voice. Now, whether it is a blessing or a curse is no longer under the control of everyone, and the Cao army has hoarded tens of thousands of troops in Yecheng to confront the Cao army, which is obviously very unwise.

Now that Cao Cao has not yet come to Yecheng, the entire Yecheng has the right to speak in the hands of Zhao Fei. As long as Zhao Fei didn't promise not to deal with the major families, then no one in Ye City would continue to attack him.

"That's all it can be!" Yan Xi nodded and said, and then the other patriarchs also nodded, for now, it is also smart, meet Zhao Fei in person, and see what Zhao Fei is going to do.

Receiving the invitations from the patriarchs of the major families, Zhao Fei was obviously stunned. But soon, Zhao Fei knew what the major families were paying attention to. There were suddenly so many more Yuan soldiers defending the city, and Zhao Fei had a trace of doubt in his heart, where did these Yuan soldiers with combat effectiveness come from.

But now, everyone can be regarded as Zhao Fei's confusion, needless to say, those extra Yuan soldiers must be the private soldiers of the major families. The purpose of the patriarchs of the families to feast on them was obviously for this purpose.

Of course, another doubt in Zhao Fei's heart was also solved, that is, why the gate of Yecheng was suddenly opened. Obviously, it was none other than this group of families who opened the gate of Yecheng. It stands to reason that these people are still Cao Jun's benefactors.

Anyway, since the invitation is here, then I really have to go to this banquet. Anyway, now I see how the family of Yecheng is.

For Zhao Fei, although he resents the family in his heart, he will not do anything too excessive. Several major clans in Yecheng did send troops to aid Yuan Shang, but at that time, they were also their own masters, and it was normal for the major families to send troops to help.

Zhao Fei originally wanted to go alone to perfunctory, but Dian Wei was obviously not worried that Zhao Fei would go alone. Zhao Fei obviously couldn't resist Dian Wei, and he could only take Dian Wei to the banquet alone.

The banquet was in Zhen's mansion in Yecheng, which made the generals of the Cao army still very worried. However, Zhao Fei didn't care at all, Yecheng was now Cao Jun's territory, and in his own territory, he was afraid that others would harm him.

Moreover, the major families are mainly based on their own family interests, and they will strictly prohibit anything that undermines the interests of the family. Dealing with Zhao Fei did not do any good to the development of their family, so how could they deal with Zhao Fei.

Zhao Fei came to Zhen's mansion and saw the rather luxurious mansion, Zhao Fei was obviously stunned. The luxury of Zhen's mansion is obviously comparable to his own Taiwei Mansion. Is this really a family's mansion, Zhao Fei couldn't help but ask secretly in his heart.

At the gate of the Zhen Clan's mansion, Zhen Yan and the other patriarchs of the major clans had been waiting at the door for a long time. Seeing Zhao Fei coming, Zhen Yan was the first to greet him.

"I've seen Lord Taiwei!" Zhen Yan said loudly, and as Zhen Yan stepped forward, the other patriarchs of the scholar clan also stepped forward and bent down to salute.

Zhao Fei waved his hand and said, "No need to be so polite!" ”

After Zhen Yan and the others got up, Zhao Fei said, "Are you?" ”

"Lord Hui, I am Zhen Yan, the patriarch of the Zhen clan in Yecheng." Zhen Yan said in a deep voice.

Zhao Fei looked Zhen Yan up and down, and then nodded. This Zhen Yan is not the patriarch of the Zhen family, he is magnificent, and he is a talent.

When Zhao Fei looked at Zhen Yan, Zhen Yan was obviously also looking at Zhao Fei. However, Zhen Yan was obviously a little surprised, because he couldn't imagine that the person in front of him, who was so elegant and quite thin, was actually the captain of the dynasty.

In Zhen Yan's opinion, Zhao Fei has led his troops to fight countless large and small wars, so he should be quite murderous. But what is unexpected is that Zhao Fei is so elegant, but quite thin.

Zhen Yan only froze slightly, but he quickly came back to his senses. After all, he is the patriarch of a clan, and Zhen Yan will definitely not do anything rude. He immediately smiled, and then said loudly, "Your Excellency, please come soon!" ”

Zhao Fei nodded and walked into the Zhen family's mansion. The mansion is not only luxurious on the outside, but also the interior decoration obviously shocked Zhao Fei. Obviously, Zhen's mansion is more luxurious than his own Taiwei Mansion, just by looking at it, you can know how rich Zhen is.

Zhen Yan took Zhao Fei to the banquet hall of Zhen's mansion, and then was invited by Zhen Yan to the main seat. Zhao Fei didn't be polite to Zhen Yan, after all, he knew that if this master didn't sit by himself, no one would dare to do it.

Now, the lives of all the families are in their hands, and they will obviously do everything they can to please themselves. Now that's just a trifle.

After Zhao Fei sat down, the patriarchs of all the families sat down one after another. Then, Zhen Yan clapped his hands, and then Zhao Fei heard pleasant music sound, and then a group of graceful dancers came in outside the door.

As the music came to mind, the delicacies were also served by the maids. Zhao Fei was not polite at all, picked up the wine glass on the table, and then drank it all.

Under the wine, Zhao Fei's brows were obviously on one side. Holding the wine glass, Zhao Fei showed a puzzled expression. Sniffing the wine glass to his nose, Zhao Fei's expression was obviously caught in a deep memory in public.

"My lord, my lord" Hearing someone call him, Zhao Fei came back to his senses, turned his head to look, and it turned out to be Zhen Yan who appeared in front of him with a wine glass.
