As soon as he heard that Xu Cong was still about the private soldiers and ordnance in his dock fort, the Huang family patriarch's face immediately became unsightly, and he put down the teacup heavily:

"Xu Duyou, if you come here specifically for private soldiers and ordnance, don't say it again, the old man will never hand it over, but your government is robbing it in the open!"

Xu Cong had already expected that the reaction of the Huang family patriarch would definitely be fierce, and he smiled indifferently: "Huang Lao, I didn't come for myself, but for the sake of the lives of you and dozens of people in the Huang family!" ”

The Huang family patriarch couldn't help but sneered: "What, you want to come hard? ”

Xu Cong said: "The decree of the Taishou Mansion has been issued, with the temper of my lord, it will definitely not be withdrawn, and it will definitely be implemented to the end!" Patriarch Huang, this is the trend of the times, whoever dares to be stubborn will definitely be crushed into powder! ”

"If the Huang patriarch thinks that you, the landlords, can unite to compete with the government and my lord, it will definitely be a dead end, Cao Cao's rash attack of 50,000 elites will be killed by my lord, and what is the use of waiting for the rabble, even if there are more people? In the end, it was not in vain? ”

The patriarch of the Huang family glared at Xu Cong angrily, "You dare to threaten the old man? ”

"Everything that is said below is true!" Xu Cong said, he looked at the Huang family patriarch without fear, "The Huang patriarch may have the heart to unite the lords of various places, but how do you know if other people have the same heart as the Huang patriarch?" If you wait until the other heroes have already offered their armor and private soldiers, but in the end the Huang patriarch is still resisting, then it will inevitably be the end of the destruction of the clan! ”

"You dare!" Patriarch Huang slapped the table and shouted loudly: "My son Han Sheng'er is a general under Qin Feng, you dare to touch my Huang family to try it!" ”

Xu Cong smiled, took a sip of tea and said: "The seizure of the armed forces in the hands of the landlord Haoqiang is a decree issued by the lord of my family himself, and it is not easy for anyone to speak, and General Hansheng is no exception!" Since Patriarch Huang still remembers that his subordinate son served under the command of my lord, he should take the initiative to cooperate with the implementation of the decree and hand over his private soldiers and armor in the dock fort, so as not to make it difficult for General Han Sheng! ”

"Moreover, my lord attaches great importance to General Han Sheng, and he is entrusted with important tasks when he recruits him, and now Patriarch Huang is doing this, not only does not support General Han Sheng, but drags him back, I'm afraid that this move is inappropriate, right?"

Patriarch Huang was said that he didn't know how to refute it, his nephew Huang Zhong was a general under Qin Feng, which in itself was a thing that made him have a long face, and once made him quite face-saving in front of the lords and scholars in various places, but now that the Taishou Mansion issued a decree, he took the lead in opposing and obstructing it, and saying it was indeed a smear on his nephew's face.

But the old people are basically stubborn, although Patriarch Huang also feels very sorry for his nephew, but let him compromise like this, he really can't pull his face.

"Don't take Han Sheng as an example, he is serving under Qin Feng, so what? He is still an old man's son, and he still has to listen to the old man for some things! ”

Xu Cong felt that he still changed his methods, and he couldn't be persecuted, he sighed: "Patriarch Huang, I want to ask you a question, who are you so conscientious and diligent all your life?" It's not for the sake of future generations, do you think about how old you are now, and how many years do you have to live? In the end, this huge family business will still be handed over to the children and grandchildren, right? ”

Patriarch Huang frowned, "What do you want to say?" ”

"General Huang is your son, with this family affection, even if you turn your face with him, he can't be your uncle's face, he has to take care of you a little bit, but if you drive the crane west, your heir and General Huang are separated by another layer, after all, it's not so close, if something happens to your heir, will General Huang do his best to help?"

"Patriarch Huang, your Huang family still has to rely on General Huang in the end, right? Now that you have not given him face, how will he take care of your children and grandchildren in the future? ”

Patriarch Huang fell into deep thought.

Xu Cong felt that this matter could not be pushed too hard, so he had to give Patriarch Huang some time to think about it, so he got up and said goodbye: "Patriarch Huang, now there are no bandits and no chaotic soldiers in my Nanyang, which can be described as peaceful, and the only unstable factor is the huge number of private soldiers and armaments in the families of the scholars and landlords Haoqiang!" The Taishou Mansion will never allow this situation to continue, and someone will definitely be used to sacrifice the flag for this! Speaking of which, I thought it should be enough, I hope that Patriarch Huang can distinguish between right and wrong, if Patriarch Huang figures it out, he can send someone to supervise the post office! ”

Xu Cong returned to Wancheng and specially went to visit Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong was quite surprised why Xu Cong came to visit his mansion, Xu Cong is a civil official, he is a military general, and it is generally difficult to talk to each other between civil and military.

"Xu Duyou came to the Mansion today, I don't know what to advise?"

"Don't you dare!" Xu Cong smiled and said: "I took over the errand given by the lord to solve the private soldiers and ordnance of the various clans and landlords in Nanyang, as well as their refusal to give up the abandoned fields against the government's decrees, presumably General Huang knows about this?" ”

Huang Zhong said: "When Xu Duyou asked for his life, Huang was present! ”

"But in this matter, the most resolute opponent now is the general's uncle, Old Patriarch Huang!"

Huang Zhong was stunned, "Oh? Is there such a thing? ”

How could Huang Zhong not expect that the Taishou Mansion wanted to solve the matter of the private soldiers in the hands of the scholars and the powerful people, and it was his uncle who resisted the most.

"Of course, the official has only returned from Patriarch Huang's dock fort, and Patriarch Huang's attitude of opposition is not ordinary and resolute! General Huang, you also know the lord's attitude towards this matter, the powerful armies of the scholars and landlords must be disarmed, these people are easily bewitched and influenced by the outside, such as Cao Cao, after all, he represents the imperial court, if Cao Cao gives them some promises in the name of the imperial court, will they unite to confront the Taishou Mansion, or even directly raise troops? When the time comes, I'm afraid that Nanyang will become a bloody place again! ”

"On the other hand, no matter how the Shi clan and the landlord Haoqiang resist and oppose, after all, the arm can't twist the thigh, the front two families were destroyed, the lord is benevolent, did not pursue their family, and left a way for their family to live, and if the remaining landlord Haoqiang and the Shi clan unite, I am really worried that after they fail, the lord guild will not eradicate them all!"

After hearing this, Huang Zhong thought for a while, "Xu Duyou's intention is to let Huang persuade his uncle?" ”

Xu Cong nodded and said, "Exactly!" In this matter, I thought that General Huang should persuade Patriarch Huang both in public and private! The general thinks about it, if the patriarch Huang angers the lord because of this matter, and the lord wants to use force against Huangjiabao, how will the general deal with himself? If the general does not come forward to solve this matter, he will not only be sorry for the trust and support of the lord, but also sorry for the Huang family! ”
