Chapter 63: Never Compromise
Originally, these families in Xuzhou were also ready to ask Cao Cao for help, but now Cao Cao also learned from Feng Ye and began to attack the families under his command.
Suddenly there was a feeling that there was no way to ask for help, even if Cao Cao was invited, it would just be a rejection of the tiger at the front door and a wolf at the back door. To no avail.
If Yuan Shu was still ruling Yangzhou, they could have turned to Yangzhou for help, after all, the Runan Yuan family was the head of the family.
It's a pity that Yuan Shu was destroyed by Feng Ye a long time ago, and even when Feng Ye destroyed Yuan Shu, it was still the grain and grass provided by them in Xuzhou.
Now that I think about it, these people are really remorseful and their bowels are green. As for Liu Dai, the assassin of Yuzhou, he is now unable to protect himself by Cao **, let alone rescue them in Xuzhou.
Jiangdong's little overlord Sun Ce is a good candidate, but now he has few soldiers and fledglings, and he is still fighting with Liu Yao for control of Jiangdong.
Chen Gui and Chen Deng, father and son, are still very familiar with current affairs, and after being warned by Feng Ye, they began to close their doors.
and no other people who have come to consult with other worldly friends will be seen. In fact, this is already an attitude of showing his attitude to the outside world, and he is not optimistic.
But in the face of huge interests, those big families turned a blind eye to this, and just felt that Chen Gui and Chen Deng, father and son, were as timid as rats, and they were bullied by Feng Ye, and they didn't dare to resist.
For Chen Gui and Chen Deng's father and son, although the family situation was a little more difficult for the time being, Feng Ye at least did not deprive them of their land, but only treated the tenants and slaves under his rule leniently.
"At least Feng Ye still values our father and son very much, even if the family's fields are barren, as long as our father and son are still officials, this business will not be wasted.
There are so many civil and military generals under Feng Ye's command, doesn't each family need servants? I don't believe it, as long as we really join Feng Ye's command, there will always be a way to solve the problem of manpower shortage. ”
Chen Gui persuaded him, for fear that his son would be young and vigorous and would be persuaded by the children of other families to come out, which would be a big trouble.
Chen Deng analyzed very calmly: "Father, I remember that when Feng Ye rewarded the Tao Qian family that day, in addition to plowing cattle and land, he also rewarded the Tao family with 1,000 foreign prisoners of war.
The fact that the population of this Han cannot be slaves does not mean that foreign prisoners of war can be slaves?"
When Chen Deng said this, Chen Gui realized that he seemed to have overlooked something.
It's no wonder why the generals under Feng Ye's command agreed to Feng Ye's policy, there was still such a workaround.
"If that's the case, then when our father and son really integrate into Feng Ye's command, will we be able to get foreign prisoners of war?
From this point of view, it seems that the impact on our Chen family is not great, at most it is the year when the fields are barren. Chen Gui said excitedly.
What was already about to be lost, suddenly saw the hope of finding it back. The joy of losing and regaining it was an inexplicable surprise to him.
And Feng Ye's attitude is also very clear, in Xuzhou, the only talents who can enter his eyes are their Chen family, father and son, and Mi Zhu.
He doesn't look down on other people at all, which means that in the future, in Xuzhou, the rights of their father and son will also increase here with Feng Ye's attention.
From this point of view, Feng Ye's practice of sweeping away other families in Xuzhou not only did not cause any losses to their Chen family, but was of great benefit.
When Feng Ye swept away the other big families, the business, land, and property of those big families. Feng Ye gulped down meat, and their Chen family could at least drink some broth after them.
Fields, shops and other things, maybe Feng Ye will take them back, but the store must be sold. The families of Xuzhou have been wiped out. Who has the strength to eat so many stores?
Even if he can't eat all of them, he can at least eat a part, and this part alone can already make their father and son eat with their mouths full of oil.
And there are all kinds of businesses controlled by those families, and their father and son can at least eat a part of it. If you calculate it this way, their father and son will be able to take advantage of the situation in this wave of Xuzhou family disasters.
The father and son of the Chen family figured out these key places, and suddenly their original dissatisfaction and anger towards Feng Ye disappeared in an instant, and they became more and more grateful.
Suddenly, he felt that Feng Ye was so wise and martial in sweeping away these big families. As for those big families who are still related to their Chen family, there is also a relationship of marriage.
These relationships are nothing in the face of interests. It wasn't their Chen family's father and son who harmed them, it was just their own doing.
Those people killed themselves, and of course no one else was to blame. Their Chen family father and son did not do anything wrong, so they were naturally at ease.
There are turmoil in all parts of Xuzhou, there are bandits and bandits everywhere, burning, killing and looting, and all the official offices in various places are paralyzed.
And most of those grassroots officials were raised by the big families. Even many of them are from the side tribe who came from a family.
With the efforts of these families, the entire Xuzhou instantly changed from the original peaceful and prosperous era to a beacon of fire, full of bandits and grass bandits, which was even more chaotic than Qingzhou.
This is where the big families in these places are difficult, and they are the biggest snakes. This is where their confidence in confronting Feng Ye lies.
Feng Ye's army is indeed powerful, all elite soldiers. I don't know how much stronger than these places in Xuzhou. There are wise men in the family. They didn't come forward at all, so Feng Ye couldn't even find fault with them.
But if Feng Ye really wants to completely exterminate these local snakes, they also have the ability to stir up Xuzhou and make Feng Ye lose more than he gains. They did this just to show their strength so that Feng Ye could give in.
When Feng Ye received Zang Ba's report, he was also a little surprised, he thought that those big families would raise their banners to rebel, but he didn't expect them to come to such a hand.
"Lord, our strength can indeed exterminate them, but the harm to Xuzhou is too great. Otherwise, let's take a long-term view!" Zang Ba advised.
Feng Ye shook his head and said: "Now that we occupy absolute strength, we have to compromise with them, and compromise with the big clan in Xuzhou, so if we want to compromise in other places, will those people do the same?"
Compromise will only make our opponents feel that we are weak and deceitful. I, Feng Ye, will never compromise and will not accept any threats, even if Xuzhou is completely destroyed. It is also necessary to sweep away these cancers. ”
"Big brother, although we all know that these things are caused by these families in Xuzhou, but we don't have any evidence?" Zhao Yun asked suspiciously.
"The right to speak is in our hands, and the knife handle is also in our hands, as long as we believe that they did it, there are no three words, and they can be wiped out. Feng Ye smiled slightly and said domineeringly.
In feudal society, the emperor's words are the truth, and those who do not accept it will die! Although Feng Ye is not yet the emperor, he can also do everything he can on his own territory.
Knowing that the other party did it, but still bothering to find evidence, isn't that appropriate for nonsense? When Feng Ye, a hussar general, is fake? Even if he finds evidence, who can he show it?
Feng Ye's words were categorical, and Zang Ba also heard the determination in Feng Ye's words. Immediately clasped his fists and saluted, "The last general understands." Destroy these thieves at all costs. ”
With Feng Ye's order, Zang Ba, Zhang He, Zhang Yan, Guan Hai, and several generals respectively took Youzhou to ride and began to sweep the entire Xuzhou. Everywhere he went, the corpses were slaughtered everywhere.
Many ignorant slaves couldn't distinguish between good and bad at all, and even picked up knives to help their masters fight against Feng Ye's army. It's really a natural.
However, there are still many such people, and many slaves still idolize this kind of slave who is willing to die for the main family, which shows that idols are such things, as long as they are well promoted, even fools can become idols.
"How dare he?"
"Feng Ye, this only husband, is a traitor. ”
"The great Han world will be destroyed in the hands of this traitor. ”
These people sat on the ground one by one, released and scolded, and some people wept bitterly, and the family business that had been passed down for several generations was so ruined. They can't stand the blow.
Several of the principals of the clans who manipulated the Xuzhou Rebellion behind the scenes had already fled outside Xuzhou, and they originally felt that with the resources in their hands, they would definitely be able to force Feng Ye to bow his head and compromise with them.
I didn't expect Feng Ye to be so rigid, he didn't care about the prosperity of Xuzhou at all, and chose to fight with them. The pen can never fight the gun.
In the past, they dealt with other officials, which was an invincible means, but in front of Feng Ye, it was just a pediatric.
Without us, we are building, and those so-called prosperity, in Feng Ye's eyes, is just like that. It's a poor and dilapidated place, what's there to care about?
Whether it was the bandits from all over the country, or the families sent out by the big families to make trouble, they were all swept away by several generals. All of a sudden, Xuzhou, who only killed, did not close his door at night, and the road was not forgotten.
Not even a single traitor can be found, and the hooligans are dying. When the family was in turmoil, the government was completely paralyzed, and these hooligans and gangsters also jumped out when they saw a good opportunity.
happened to be wiped out by Feng Ye's army, and the few fish that slipped through the net also hid at home all day long, trembling and not daring to leave the house. for fear of being corrected.
Lu Bu was driven out of Chang'an by Li Dao and Guo Yan, and after a big battle, 30,000 wolves rode and the state were armed, leaving less than 10,000 people.
It can be said that his strength has been greatly damaged, he originally planned to lead his troops back to his hometown in Bingzhou, but at this moment, Bingzhou has been occupied by Feng Ye.
Moreover, Feng Ye is now in the land of the five states, with strong soldiers and strong horses, and there are only 8,000 people under Lu Bu's command, so he naturally does not dare to easily pick up Feng Ye's tiger whiskers.
Lu Bu, who had no way to go, could only retreat all the way to Nanyang.
