The Three Kingdoms

In the battle of Yuzhou, the Wei army retreated.Yingchuan County has fallen into the hands of Soochow.

Therefore, if Soochow really wanted to do something to the Xun's ancestral hall, it would not be just empty words, but a very possible thing.

"Perpetually dying?"

Li Nie sneered, with a gloomy and murderous gleam in his eyes: "Will I be afraid? Mr. Xun, you know. Your words today may make me become cruel and cruel, and I will kill your entire family and leave nothing behind." One line!"

"you dare?"

Xun Zhan's heart was like an ice cellar, and his whole body was cold.

He suddenly remembered that this ordinary middle-aged Confucian scholar in front of him was a world-renowned executioner.

"Hahaha, what kind of person am I, Li Nie? When I was still Li Ru, I dared to kill the young emperor and destroy the Han Dynasty. Now I hold the power in Jinyi, defend the righteousness of the Great Wu, and become famous as a teacher. What do I have? Don’t you dare to do it? Your Xun family has always assisted the Wei Dynasty and fought against our Great Wu. You are the number one enemy of our Great Wu. It is not too much to kill him. I dare to destroy your entire family and destroy your ancestral hall. Do!"

The corner of Li Nie's mouth raised a cold murderous intent, which lowered the temperature of the whole room by three points, but his smile was still bright, like a devil's smile, and he quietly added: "By the way, Mr. Xun, I still have I want to tell you a piece of news. When Guo Jia and Cao Ang left Yingchuan, they wanted to evacuate Yingchuan County and move the population of Yingchuan into Guanzhong. , so there are quite a few people who are unwilling to leave Yingchuan, many of them choose to stick to Yingchuan, and your uncle, the third of the eight dragons of the Xun family, the current patriarch of the Xun clan, Xun Jing's great scholar, and your elder brother , the three sons of the Xun family, Xun Yan and Xun Xiuruo, would rather die than retreat, leading more than a hundred family members, guarding the ancestral hall to the death, and now they are all prisoners of my Great Wu rank!"

"Patriarch? Third brother?"

Xun Zhan panicked.

"They are not ordinary idlers. Xun Jing is a famous Confucian in Yingchuan Academy, and Xun Yan used to be an official of the Jin State. After you voted for Wei, he entered Yuzhou as an official. He is also the governor of Yuzhou. They are officials of the enemy dynasty, should you kill them or keep them?"

Li Nie's gaze became extremely sharp, as if a knife and an ax had been added to him, making Xun Zhan feel chills all over his body.

"Governor Li, don't bully me. Now that my uncle and brother are in your hands, you can kill them or keep them. Since they are prisoners, this is their fate. The ancestral hall, aren't you afraid that the families of the world will be chilled?"

Xun Zhan was not someone who could be bluffed with just a few words. He calmed down, glared at him, and shouted angrily.

For an aristocratic family, one is not afraid of death, and the family has many children. As long as the lineage survives, it can make a comeback. I am afraid that even the ancestral hall cannot be kept. What the family inherits is the spirit and spirit of the old ancestor. The family will be disgraced.

Once this step is reached, this is the eternal hatred of the family.

"The hearts of the world's aristocratic families are chilling? We, Great Wu, are really not afraid. In April of the fifth year of the Warring States Period, Jinling City experienced the Xuanwu Gate Change. Today, His Majesty has killed a river of blood, and among them, headed by the Yu family in Kuaiji, there are five great families that have been passed down for hundreds of years, and all the descendants of the nine families are accused of crimes, and the ancestral halls are burned and uprooted!"

Li Nie seemed to be elaborating, word by word.The murderous intent seems to be threatening: "Since we can do the burning of the ancestral hall once, we can do it a second time. Under the Great Wu Dynasty, in my heart, nothing is more important than the justice of the court. The people the court wants to kill. No one can keep them, and the things the court wants to burn, no one can keep!"

"Governor Li, you have said so much, but you just want me to be timid. I am afraid of you. What do you want me to do?"

Xun Zhan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his eyes were red with anger, and he asked through gritted teeth.

He was indeed afraid.

He is not afraid of death.But he was afraid of death and had no face to face his ancestors.

"The purpose of my meeting with you today, I have made it very clear from the very beginning!" Li Nie breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said calmly: "I think you are serving the Great Wu Dynasty, and you are serving your life sincerely. , it’s a good thing for you, for the Xun family, and for Great Wu, and that’s all!”

"That's all?" Xun Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly.asked repeatedly.

"That's all!"

Li Nie nodded firmly.

"Empty mouth and white teeth, I'm just patting my chest, thinking you swear that I, Xun Zhan, is willing to serve the Great Wu Dynasty until death. I'm afraid you won't believe it either!" Xun Zhan took a deep breath and asked calmly: "You want me to do something. But just say it!"

He knew it wasn't that simple.

Li Nie made so many preparations, bluffing, threatening, and even intimidating, just to make himself return to his heart?not necessarily.Among them, there must be something for him to do, and it is very important. In view of the current situation in Jizhou, he has already guessed a bit.

"Mr. Xun is indeed a smart person!" Li Nie did not deny it, he nodded and said: "Zhang Nan, the prefect of Qinghe County, was once a general under your command. In three days, he needs to change his banner and surrender to Soochow. If you do it, I will Just trust you!"

"What if it can't be done?"

"That means you don't care!"

Li Nie said very calmly: "A person who is unwilling to defend our great Wu with his heart, even if you are forced to surrender, he is only in Dongwu and his heart is in Wei, so naturally you cannot be kept!"

"What if it works?" Xun Zhan asked again.

"That's easy. Since you have shown your loyalty, I, the Great Wu, will reward you for your merits. The position of deputy governor and governor of Jizhou Governor's Mansion is yours!" Li Nie said directly: "In the future, you will be ours. Great Wu himself, the Xun family is also a family under the Great Wu War Banner, unless you intend to rebel, even if I, Li Nie, want to move your Xun family, I can’t do it. The Great Wu Dynasty ruled the world, and the people of Great Wu must act according to the law , never sit together!"

"It's coercion and temptation. If I don't know the truth, wouldn't I be shameless? Starting today, Xun Zhan is willing to serve the Great Wu court!"

Xun Zhan is also a straightforward person. Now that he has made a decision, he doesn't hesitate, he just stands up and bows.

"Ha ha!"

Li Nie smiled, stood up, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation toward the door: "I heard it, but I haven't seen the actual action yet!"

"Give me two days, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!"

Xun Zhan turned around directly and left the wing room, his back was bleak, with an aura of high ambition.

"Governor, can you believe his words?"

Cui Zhouping, who had been waiting outside the wing room, came in and asked in a low voice: "Will it be self-defeating? If he is released from Yecheng and he helps Qinghe County, wouldn't it be worth the loss for us!"

"To do big things, you always have to take some risks. If you don't give him this little trust, why do you let him return to Da Wu? Didn't he say that? Within two days, there must be an answer, and we will wait and see! "

Li Nie said calmly.

"However, the position of Deputy Governor of Jizhou Governor's Mansion and Governor's Mansion Shi is not easy to be competent. It needs to be appointed by the cabinet. Even if he surrenders, he is just a surrender. Will the governor think highly of him! "

"He deserves the position!"

Li Nie knew Cui Zhouping's careful thinking. He looked at Cui Zhouping and said with a smile: "Zhouping, in the land of Jizhou, if we want to stabilize the Great Wu Dynasty, we need someone with prestige and ability to appease the people. , he is the most suitable person, and the governor of Jizhou is Zhu Zhi, the second assistant of the cabinet. There are four vice-governors, he is one of them, and so are you, I have already reported to the imperial court to ask the cabinet to seal you as the vice-governor of Jizhou Governor-General and concurrently the position of the governor-general of the Governor-General!"

"Great governor, but I'm Jin Yiwei?"

Cui Zhouping was startled and said hastily.

"You did a good job in Jizhou's change of flag. With your skill, you don't have much potential to stay in Jinyiwei for development, and you are not suitable for Jinyiwei's style!"

Li Nie patted him on the shoulder. This time his performance was very good. Shang Datian heard that he knew that Jin Yiwei would not be able to keep this talent, so he was very generous and said encouragingly: "The cabinet has seen your talent, so They personally want the governor to be an important person. I still have to give this bit of face. Most importantly, I don’t want to delay your future. You have endured humiliation for many years for Jin Yiwei. What I can do is to give you a ride and develop in the cabinet. Will be more promising now!"

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief Chengcheng!"

Hearing this, Cui Zhouping was a little moved when he saw Li Nie's sincere expression, tears of gratitude filled his eyes.

Commitment to Jinyiwei is really helpless.

Being able to be an official of the imperial court in an open and aboveboard way, with unlimited scenery and honoring his ancestors, he naturally didn't want to be a shadowy Jinyiwei Anzi.

It's just that when he was a fledgling, the reputation of Lumenshan Academy was not enough for Wu Chao to be valued and promoted. He was ambitious, so naturally he didn't want to take small steps.

Wealth is in danger.

That's why the Jinyiwei he made was buried in a secret person beside Cao Pi.
