"me……"

Tang Bin snorted coldly and said:

"When you switched from Cao Zhi's side to Gu's command, Gu thought you had found your way back and entrusted you with a heavy responsibility."

"Is this how you repay Gu?"

Yang Xiu was so terrified that he couldn't speak!

After a long time, I said a sentence from my trembling mouth:

"Subordinate...convicted!"

Leaving aside Yang Xiu, Tang Bin looked up at Cui Zhouping again.

"Back then, you, Cui Zhouping, stayed at the foot of Mount Cowboys for a month, and you were at the same level as Gulun Tianxia."

"How majestic?"

"Today, the world's three points have come true, but you, Cui Zhouping, have been blinded by some petty thoughts!"

"Cui Junye is no longer the strong and fierce Cui Junye!"

For a famous person, Tang Bin's words are not unreasonable!

However, it really takes such heart-breaking words to make these people who put the family's interests first go astray!

So that they can regain their original intentions and follow themselves to do a big business.

The premise is if they are conscious.

Cui Zhouping opened his mouth several times after listening.

In the end, he couldn't say half a word.

Just bow down deeply!

On the side, Cui Yan also bowed down:

"Cui Yan is guilty!"

In the end, there was only one Lu Yu left.

Tang Bin sneered and said:

"I think back then, Lu Shangshu was not afraid of power, dared to face Dong Zhuo, and turned the tide. What kind of a hero was that?"

"Why did you come to your eldest son Lu, for a little profit, you have to go against your conscience, exchange grain with those aristocratic families, and ruin the lifeline of the people of Jizhou?"

"Could it be that Lu Shangshu taught you the same way back then?"

After hearing this, Lu Yu was filled with remorse and fell to the ground crying.

Tang Bin did not try to comfort them.

Nor was it intended to comfort them.

Instead, it's a test for them.

"Gu, I'll give you one night."

"If you think it over clearly and you still want to stay in Jizhou, then starting tomorrow, you will be demoted to three ranks and fined for three years' salary, just to set an example to others!"

"If you can't figure it out, then leave on your own."

After Tang Bin finished speaking, he turned and left the hall without looking at them again.

Only four people were left, kneeling in the hall in despair.

Chapter 172

That night.

Nightingale Guard issued an assassination order!

If Yang Xiu and the others make any changes, there is no need to ask for guilt, they will be killed immediately!

The major families in Jizhou were also secretly watched by Nightingale Guard.

As long as there is a sign of rebellion, immediately execute the assassination!

No matter the means!

On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore?

His Jizhou does not need others to be the emperor here.

Tang Bin also began to issue an order to seek talents, recruiting scholars from poor families, and prepared to change the official structure of Jizhou.

Qinghe County.

The Zhang family mansion.

The patriarchs of all the aristocratic families in Qinghe County gathered together.

Dozens of speakers were sitting in the lobby, whispering to each other.

"Aren't the Cui family and the Tu family from Qinghe here yet?"

The Patriarch of the Zhang Family took a sip of tea, put down his cup and asked.

Someone below replied: "The time has passed, maybe it's not coming."

"No reason!"

The head of the Zhang family slapped the table hard, stood up and said:

"This Cui family is a famous family in Qinghe, why did they back down?"

"That's all! Without his family, we'll still be doing the same thing!"

"When we capture Jizhou, it won't be too late to settle accounts with them!"

A person below asked: "Master Zhang, this matter is related to our wealth and life, I don't know how sure it is?"

The Patriarch of the Zhang family said: "Don't worry, everyone, I have received a secret letter from Mr. Feng Chu, he has persuaded Chang Xi, the prefect of Bohai Sea, to send troops to Yecheng soon!"

Hearing the name Mr. Fengchu, everyone cheered up.

The Patriarch of the Chen Family in Qinghe said: "Ah! Since it's Mr. Fengchu's plan, it can't be wrong!"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Fengchu had a clever plan, and he burned Cao Cao's million-strong army in a row in Chibi."

"Later, I was told to wait for hoarding, and all of them came true."

"If it wasn't for the sudden return of Cao Ang, this stupid boy, wouldn't I have the final say on this Jizhou?"

"Well, in short, Mr. Fengchu is involved, so there is nothing wrong with this matter!"

It was also questioned:

"This Cao Ang is a well-known man in the world, and Cao Hong is guarding Jizhou. I'm afraid it will not be easy to capture!"

"If time goes on and Cao Cao sends troops to rescue us, we will definitely be defeated!"

After hearing this, the Patriarch of the Zhang Family laughed loudly and said:

"You don't have to worry."

"Cao Cao lost millions of people in Chibi, only took in some remnants and defeated generals, and left Cao Ren in Jingzhou to resist Sun Quan and Liu Bei."

"Although Cao Ang has elite soldiers, he is currently attacking Liangzhou."

"Whether it is Cao Cao or Cao Ang, there are no soldiers to send now."

"Although Cao Hong has [-] soldiers and horses, they are all stationed in the fields, and their combat power is not high. Why should we be afraid?"

"We can gather more than [-] private soldiers, and we have Bohai Governor Chang Xi's [-] troops to help."

"Mr. Fengchu is even more ingenious, commanding and planning."

"In this battle, Cao Ang will definitely be wiped out in one fell swoop!"

"At that time, the princes will be able to reward each other according to their merits and divide the land according to their merits. Wouldn't it be wonderful?"

After hearing this, everyone praised him.

Someone was aroused and jumped up and said:

"Master Zhang is right!"

"This Cao Ang child controls the salt mine, and even the salt to eat has to be purchased according to the registered population."

"The purpose is to prevent us from raising private soldiers."

"The aristocratic family has kept private soldiers since the Zhou Dynasty. After thousands of years, why should we restrict us when we come to him?"

"This obviously doesn't give us aristocratic families a way out!"

More people jumped out and said indignantly:

"Yes! When he first arrived in Yecheng, it was our family who supported him, defeated Cao Pi, and allowed him to win Jizhou!"

"Now, he himself is famous and holds a high position, but he refuses to share some land."

"I'm waiting to exchange grain for fields, but he dares to refuse. I think he really doesn't know what to do!"

"That's right! He even issued an order to recruit scholars from poor families. This clearly doesn't pay attention to us big families!"

The elders of the aristocratic families became more and more angry as they talked, and they all geared up, wishing they could bring their private soldiers to Yecheng now!

At this moment, a spy came hurriedly outside the door, came to the Patriarch of the Zhang family, and whispered a few words.

Patriarch Zhang's complexion suddenly changed!

"When did this happen?"

The spy replied, "Just this morning."

"Including the guards and even the driver, there are 35 people in total, none of them survived!"

The Patriarch of the Zhang family frowned, and said: "Why did such a thing happen at this critical moment?"

"An accident happened to the Tuo family on the border of Qinghe County, where does this put my face?"

"Send someone to investigate quickly to see if it is the work of bandits."

The spy said: "Sir, have you forgotten? The bandits in Jizhou were suppressed by Wei Yan long ago."

After hearing this, the Patriarch of the Zhang family pondered, "Could it be that it's a vendetta?"

Seeing Patriarch Zhang's complexion, everyone asked, "Master Zhang, is there anything else?"

Seeing that the incident is imminent, the Zhang family didn't want to shake the morale of the army, so they smiled and said:

"It's nothing, there was a little accident in Tu's house, and I have already sent someone to deal with it."

"Everyone, if you and I gather together today, we are like people on the same boat."

"One is prosperous, and one is lost."

"I hope everyone can work together to kill Cao Ang and take back Jizhou!"

Everyone toasted: "Kill Cao Ang, take Jizhou!"

"Kill Cao Ang and seize Jizhou!"

The crowd is elated.

Suddenly, a servant of the Patriarch ran in with an anxious face and said something to the Patriarch of the Chen family in Qinghe.

When the Patriarch of the Chen family heard this, he was shocked and said:

"What did you say?"

The servant replied with tears:

"Patriarch! Today, a group of strong men broke through the city by some means. There were heavy casualties in the castle. Patriarch, go back and have a look!"

"What! You! You are talking nonsense!"

"My Chen family castle is as solid as gold, with 500 soldiers, how can outsiders break it?"

The servant said: "Patriarch calm down, I don't know the details!"

The head of the Chen family hurriedly cupped his hands to the head of the Zhang family:
