Chapter 57 At this moment, he realized Zhao Shu's madness.
Killing is a means of solving problems, and sometimes it is the simplest and most effective.
However, sometimes killing people often takes things completely to the extreme.
In Zhao Shu's view, it's not that killing is bad, but it depends on when and for what purpose. In politics, using the knife is often a last resort.
This is the last resort.
Under the escort of short soldiers, we came to the mansion. This was the mansion where Yan Ju once lived, because Yan Ju followed Yang Duan and went south.
His family lived in the backyard, so the front yard was freed up for Zhao Shu to live in. This was also to protect Yan Ju's family.
After all, Yan Ju surrendered, and some extremists, in anger, would definitely take revenge on Yan Ju's family.
And Yan Ju surrendered to the Qin Dynasty. As an official of the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Shu naturally wanted to protect the safety of Yan Ju's family.
"General, the front yard has been cleaned by the maid. At the same time, Yan Ju's residence has been notified, asking them to prepare a small banquet to receive the heads of these aristocratic families."
After taking a look at the Hundred Generals, Zhao Shu shook his head and said, "Ask the cooks in Yan Ju's house to stop preparing, and let the Huotou Army in the army prepare a small banquet to ensure nothing goes wrong."
"Brothers, please be careful and strictly control the water, wine, and food. Don't let anything happen during this banquet."
"promise."
"At the same time, archers were ambushed around the hall, allowing Yasuo to prepare for war. Once an accident occurs, the army will immediately set off and attack the mansions of these families one by one."
At this point, Zhao Shu's eyes were full of murderous intent, and his tone became extremely cold: "Once you do it, you will not be left alive."
Hearing Zhao Shu's order, the general's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but speak, "Didn't the general say that if we use the sword today, our reputation will be destroyed, and Xindu will not be able to live in peace from now on?"
Hearing this, Zhao Shu took a deep look at Baijiang and said with a faint tone: "So, I have said that if you do something, you will not be left alive."
"It's okay if you don't take action. Once you do, everyone in the major families will die."
"promise."
Watching the hundreds of generals leaving, Zhao Shu let out a long breath. He had to solve Yang Duanhe's worries.
Therefore, he could only take the wrong approach.
After all, three thousand people, in the eyes of these aristocratic families, have no deterrent effect at all. They all keep dead soldiers and guards in captivity.
These noble families have existed for thousands of years, and they are arrogant at heart. Moreover, he only has 3,000 troops in his hands, which undoubtedly reduces his deterrence against these families.
Zhao Shu could almost foresee that these people would definitely not be content and would not follow his rules.
He must be prepared on both sides.
Although he didn't want to kill anyone, he had to kill him if he couldn't do it.
.......
Half an hour later, Zhao Kai and others came to the door, and under the leadership of Baijiang, they came to the hall.
"I've met General Zhao!"
Seeing everyone arriving, Zhao Shu smiled and stretched out his hand, saying: "Masters of the family, please take a seat. I have prepared a small banquet. You can try the food of our Qin people and get used to it in advance."
"Haha, thank you so much, General." Zhao Kai and the others smiled softly and didn't care about Zhao Shu's cheap words.
What they want is not verbal advantage, but the most real benefits.
After leaving each other, the generals turned and left. Food and wine were served one after another, and the atmosphere in the hall became lively.
Talking to each other and laughing constantly.
When the wine had passed three rounds and the dishes had passed the five flavors, Zhao Kai took the lead and spoke towards Zhao Shu, "I wonder why General Zhao summoned us?"
"If there is any need, please let General Zhao speak clearly!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned over.
Hearing this, Zhao Shu chuckled and said: "You are all important figures in Xindu City, and I have been ordered to guard Xindu."
"If I don't even know you, wouldn't I be derelict in my duty?"
Having said this, Zhao Shu took a deep look at Zhao Kai and others: "Now that the letter belongs to our Great Qin, I hope that some of your actions will be restrained."
"It's better to find a copy of Qin's Law and read it. It will be good for you."
"General Zhao, the war is not over yet. Between Qin and Zhao, it is still unknown who will win the final victory!" The head of the Li family chuckled and retorted.
"Moreover, our family is very law-abiding. As long as the general restrains himself, we will naturally keep each other's affairs in check!"
"There is a shortage of food and grass in Xindu City, and you are all big food farmers. Please take some of it and distribute it to the people in the city."
Zhao Shu's sharp gaze swept over everyone and said word by word: "I need stability in the city. You can distribute it in the name of your family."
"General Zhao, this is impossible. Our family does not have much food. Once it is distributed, our clan members will starve to death." The head of the Zhang family shook his head and his tone became cold.
At this moment, Zhao Kai chuckled and said: "General Zhao, stabilize the people. This is what the imperial office should do. Does the general want to suppress us by force?"
"My head knows that there is no shortage of food in Xindu's treasury..."
Hearing this, Zhao Shu's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He did not expect these people to be so unscrupulous and not give him any face.
He allowed them to take advantage of his righteousness, and he didn't even intend to spit out any food.
After taking a sip of wine, Zhao Shu smiled and said: "It seems that the family heads are not going to help me with this favor?"
"It's not that I can't help the general, but that the general has passed!" Zhao Kai shook his head, his eyes full of contempt.
"Hahaha, if you don't want to help, then don't help. Just don't make trouble for me." Zhao Shu chuckled lightly, and everyone's faces relaxed.
"It's natural..."
"Dang!" The bronze wine cup was accidentally touched by Zhao Shu and fell to the ground. For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall became dead.
"I'm sorry, I made a mistake. This wine is a bit too much." Zhao Shu apologized with a smile, and Zhao Kai and others breathed a sigh of relief.
"Puff puff......."
The sound of breaking through the air and the sound of arrows entering flesh sounded at the same time. Almost instantly, Zhao Kai and others were all killed.
Zhao Shu said to the hundred generals: "Destroy all the people they brought with them, block the news at the same time, and leave a thousand people to defend the city."
"You and Yasuo each lead a thousand men to blockade the Zhang and Li families. I will personally lead the cavalry to attack the Zhao family."
"Then break them one by one."
"Tell Yasuo that we must defeat each family as soon as possible. You don't have to hold back. If you encounter them, kill them all."
Having said this, Zhao Shu said in a deep voice: "Let the scout camp sort out the sins of the major families, and then let people publicize it in the city."
"promise."
Baijiang nodded and left. At this moment, he realized Zhao Shu's madness.
This young man, who always smiles when he is idle, is extremely ruthless and ruthless, which is beyond comparison with ordinary people.
