In Dongjun City, there is a large residence in the east of the city. The owner of this house is famous in Dongjun City and even in the entire Cao Wei territory. That is Cao Cao's think tank, Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo!
In Cao Wei's camp, when it comes to the wisest man, of course Xu Shu is the first choice, but this does not mean that Xun Yu's status is worse than Xu Shu. Xu Shu's wisdom lies in marching and planning, while Xun Yu's strength lies in his political ability
It can be said that Cao Cao's current hegemony is inseparable from Xun Yu's efforts behind the scenes! Even without Xun Yu running logistics for Cao Cao, Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry that are rampant in Yanzhou would not be possible.
!
However, what people never expected is that the person in charge of the Xun family now is not the head of the Xun family, Xun Yu! In the main hall of the Xun family, several men wearing brocade robes are sitting together.
, secretly discussing a major matter related to the Xun family, and even the entire Cao Wei!
"Have you thought it through, sir?" The person sitting in the top position is not Xun Yu, but one of Xun Yu's nephews, Xun Shang! The Xun family has a great business, and there are many brothers in Xun Yu's generation alone.
There are even more descendants in the next generation! When Xun Shuang saw the Western Qin taking control of Chang'an, he saw that the situation was not good, so he moved his family to Dongjun early, so among the major aristocratic families, it is relatively well-preserved! This Xun Shang
Among the children of the Xun family of his generation, he was neither the smartest nor the most talented, but he was the most famous and had close contacts with the children of all the major families in Cao Wei.
After hearing Xun Shang's words, everyone present looked embarrassed, as if they were wavering and unable to make a decision. One of them, a man in his forties or fifties with a goatee, said hesitantly: "Brother Xun.
! It’s not a problem to say that our family unites to suppress the Chen family! But when it comes to rebellion, this..." After saying that, the man stopped talking, but what he wanted to say was so clear.
But that's it.
Xun Shang narrowed his eyes and saw that the goatee was Xiao Ni, the head of the Xiao family in Lanling. The Xiao family was originally from Lanling, Xuzhou, but because of conflicts with the Mi family, who had a close relationship with Liu Bei, the family moved to the east.
County. Before this, the Xiao family, an outsider, was just a small aristocratic family in Dongjun. If it had not been for the protection of the Xun family, it would have been annexed long ago! And among the previous actions to suppress the Chen family, it was the Xiao family.
The Xiao family has gained the most. Now that the Xiao family has greatly increased its strength, it seems that they want to get rid of the Xun family. But how can Xun Shang let Xiao Ni get his wish? He shook his head lightly and took out a brocade from his sleeve.
He threw the bag directly in front of Xiao Ni and said calmly: "Brother Xiao, before you make a decision, you might as well take a look at this! My uncle brought this back when he met with the eldest son a few days ago!"
The family uncle in Xun Shang's mouth naturally refers to the head of the Xun family, Xun Yu, and the eldest son is Cao Ang, who is now in charge of the affairs of Cao Cao! Needless to say, the importance of Xun Yu in Cao Wei, everyone heard that it was Xun Yu
Yu brought it back after seeing Cao Ang. He immediately picked up the brocade bag, took out the brocade silk and checked it out. After reading what was written on the brocade silk, everyone's faces immediately became ashen!
Xun Shang, on the other hand, curled up the corner of his mouth and showed a sarcastic smile, saying: "I believe everyone has seen it clearly! That's right! The eldest son was very dissatisfied with what we did before, so he deliberately killed Xu Shu
Bring him back! Everyone has learned Xu Shu’s abilities over the years! If he comes back, based on everyone’s previous behavior, I don’t need to tell you what the consequences will be!”
Xun Shang's understatement made everyone's faces turn pale again! Xu Shu was born in a poor family, so he didn't have much favorable impression of their families. He had been sparing no effort to attack their families.
After killing important ministers such as Xun Yu and Chen Qun, I am afraid that the aristocratic family has been destroyed by Xu Shu! Even so, over the years, the aristocratic family has also suffered a lot from Xu Shu. Now that they heard that Xu Shu is coming back to settle accounts with them, everyone is worried.
It was a feeling of fear in my heart!
Looking at the faces of everyone, Xun Shang felt very proud! In fact, yesterday, after Xun Yu came back from Weihou Mansion, he went to the study room for a showdown, took out this information, and told Xun Shang clearly,
The Xun family will not be buried with Xun Shang, and they will definitely hand over Xun Shang to Xu Shu! Although Xun Shang is a descendant of the Xun family, his ambition is not small. He had never had the chance to be promoted, but
It was thanks to the opportunity that Xun You died outside Nanton City a few months ago that he was promoted to deputy by Xun Yu. After finally enjoying the sweetness of power, how could Xun Shang be willing to be a scapegoat? This time Xun Shang deliberately targeted Dongjun.
The children of all the major aristocratic families in the city were summoned over, hoping to pull all the aristocratic families onto his pirate ship and rebel against the Cao family! In Xun Shang's mind, since your Cao family won't let me, Xun Shang, live, then I
I'll let your Cao family die first!
And Xun Shang is not afraid that these aristocratic families will not agree. In the past, the aristocratic family was able to fight on a par with Xu Shu entirely because of the two pillars of the Xun family and the Chen family! Now the Chen family is finished, and the Xun family has also expressed its stance. If they
If you refuse to follow the Xun family, you will definitely be abandoned by the Xun family in the end, and it will be a dead end! The heads of the various families here look at me, and I look at you. In the end, under Xun Shang's gaze, they can only nod in agreement.
Come down!
Seeing that everyone agreed, Xun Shang felt ecstatic in his heart, but on the surface he didn't show anything. He just smiled lightly and said: "Since everyone has the same opinion, I won't say anything more! Brother Xiao! If so
If I remember correctly, several of the Xiao family’s children are currently serving in the city’s garrison, right?”
Xun Shang was the first to mention his name, which made Xiao Ni complain secretly, but now that he had boarded Xun Shang's pirate ship, what else could he say, he could only nod in agreement. Xun Shang continued
: "Now the city defenders of Dongjun City are in the hands of Cao Zhen. As long as we get rid of him and control the city defenders, we can control most of the troops in the city! This can only be done by Brother Lao Xiao.
How many disciples are there!”
"Uh!" Xiao Ni's face looked as ugly as possible, and he said to Xun Shang with a bitter look on his face: "Brother Xun, Cao Zhen is very skilled. Although the children in my family also have some skills, they are not as good as Cao Zhen."
It's still far behind! With just them, how can they get rid of Cao Zhen? This, this, I am not willing to do my best, there is really no way!" Although Cao Zhen is compared to those masters who have been famous for a long time, it can't be said
He is not a powerful figure, but he is already considered a master to those ordinary warriors. Xiao Ni's words are really not excuses.
"Haha!" As if he had expected Xiao Ni's answer, Xun Shang immediately smiled and said: "Brother Xiao, please don't worry about this! In order to deal with Cao Zhen, I have already prepared countermeasures! When the time comes, I will
Send the most powerful assassins of the Xun family to assist several generals of the Xiao family! And what Brother Xiao has to do is to find a way for the generals of the Xiao family to bring these assassins to Cao Zhen!"
Xun Shang answered so quickly, obviously already prepared. Xiao Ni knew that it was useless to object, so he could only bow his hand and express his willingness. Then Xun Shang spoke to the Wang family in Taiyuan, the Yang family in Hongnong, and the Zheng family in Xingyang respectively.
The head of the family ordered some things to be done. Among these families, the Yang family of Hongnong was the most famous. It was once even above the Xun family! However, when the Yang family was in Chang'an before, because the Western Qin Dynasty took control of Chang'an,
The family was divided into two factions regarding their attitude towards the Western Qin Dynasty. The main Yang family children headed by Yang Biao decided to stay in Chang'an. Only a small number of people sneaked to Dongjun and became a small aristocratic family in Yanzhou. These aristocratic families are now
They are all dependent on the Xun family, so they have no choice but to comply with the decisions made by Xun Shang on behalf of the Xun family!
While everyone was discussing closely, suddenly a man in smart clothes walked up to Xun Shang with light steps and whispered a few words into Xun Shang's ear. Then Xun Shang's expression immediately changed.
, after signaling the man to retreat, he hummed gloomily: "I just got the news that Xu Shu is back! And he will enter the city soon!"
"Ah!" After hearing the news, everyone exclaimed, and their faces were full of fear! After all, Xu Shu had already arrived before they had discussed the outcome, which caught them off guard.
The feeling! Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but they all didn’t know what to do. In the end, they could only turn their eyes to Xun Shang. Love always attached to the Xun family, and now this
At this time, it is natural to regard Xun Shang, who represents the Xun family, as the backbone!
At this moment, Xun Shang also felt guilty, but when he saw everyone's gazes, a cold light flashed in Xun Shang's eyes, and he snorted coldly: "It's good that Xu Shu is here! Huh! Let's just stop doing it.
!Give him to him first..." As he said that, Xun Shang raised his palm and made a cutting gesture, and the meaning was naturally very clear!
No one expected that Xun Shang would come up with such an idea. They were all frightened by Xun Shang's boldness. However, Xun Shang, who had already made up his mind, let go and said to everyone with a sinister smile: "Masters.
It's better to take the Xun family now and wait for the good news! I'll go give the order right away!" Xun Shang's words undoubtedly put everyone under house arrest. After all, it is such a risky thing to assassinate Xu Shu in such a hurry.
Xun Shang doesn’t want to take any risks!
After Xun Shang finished speaking, he immediately stood up and walked out of the hall regardless of how everyone reacted. He specifically asked the servants around him to guard the hall and not let them leave even half a step! Immediately afterwards, Xun Shang walked quickly.
When we arrived at the backyard, the entire backyard was empty at the moment. This was something Xun Shang had specifically ordered before, not to allow anyone to approach the backyard!
After walking directly into the study, Xun Shang looked up and glanced at the corpse on the ground next to the bookshelf. Although the blood stains had dried, the smell of blood inside was very strong because the doors and windows had been closed before!
Xun Shang covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, walked slowly to the corpse, touched the corpse's waist, and finally took out a jade pendant. He stood up with shining eyes. He wanted to mobilize the dead soldiers of the Xun family.
, there must be a token from the head of the Xun family! Finally, Xun Shang slowly removed the sleeves covering his mouth and nose, and said calmly to Xun Yu's body lying on the ground: "I am doing all this for the Xun family.
