System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

But family issues have always been the most troublesome issue.

In order to control the people under their command, those in power usually keep the families of their civil and military officials at the center of power.

Now that these constraints on his subordinates are gone, I'm afraid something unexpected will happen over time.

"Don't worry, my lord. I have instructed the generals present at the time to keep this matter strictly confidential and it will never be leaked."

"Moreover, everyone present at the time was loyal to the lord. Even if they have complicated thoughts now, they will not easily betray him."

"The most urgent task is to appease people and then think of countermeasures."

Guo Tu cupped his hands and said seriously.

"Well, Gongze did a good job."

Yuan Shao nodded in satisfaction, but frowned again.

He always felt that Guo Tu said a lot of things, most of which were useless.

But if you say it's useless, I will feel a lot more at ease.

Strange.

"My lord, you might as well write a letter to Cao Mengde."

"The fact that Dong's army was able to cross the Yellow River so easily must be attributed to Cao Mengde."

"Why not invite him to help kill the thief Dong? Isn't he short of food?"

"We can provide food. As long as we can recapture Yecheng, everything will be worth it."

Tian Feng bowed and offered a suggestion.

"Hmm...Okay, let's do it."

Yuan Shao pondered for a moment and made the decision immediately.

Yecheng Prefecture

Since taking over this city, Dong Yu began to make some arrangements for Yecheng.

At the same time, the advisory group was also deducing the possible war that might happen soon all day long.

"Zihe, many people's families have been taken into our control."

"Should we contact these people?"

Niu Fu leaned over and whispered in Dong Yu's ear.

Dong Yu, who was sitting in his seat, shook his head silently after hearing this.

"why?"

"Zihe, didn't we do this before?"

Niu Fu was very puzzled.

When they captured Ye City, didn’t they use the relatives of Cui Yan and others to threaten them to defect?

Why doesn’t it work now?

“A person can be cruel and vicious, but he cannot be stupid.”

"Few people have been threatened before, and they are all from the aristocratic families. They care about their inheritance, so they dare not gamble."

"But now there are many families of warriors here."

"They came from humble backgrounds, and it was Yuan Shao's favor that brought them to where they are today."

"It's natural to have some hesitation in your heart."

"If I threaten them and they don't agree, will I kill all their relatives?"

Dong Yu raised his head and asked back.

"Don't kill them...keep them for the New Year?"

"Even if we don't kill them, we must imprison them, raid their homes, and make all their wealth ours."

Niu Fu frowned, thinking only of confiscating the property.

From this we can see how much Niu Niu loves money.

"hehe."

"Not only will I not kill them, I will also treat them well with good food and drink."

"Don't worry about this matter. Keep the soldiers under control and keep them under house arrest. Don't bully them in the slightest. Anyone who disobeys orders will be executed."

Dong Yu chuckled and shook his head before giving orders.

"Oh."

Niu Fu puffed out his cheeks and retreated silently.

Watching Niu Fu leave, Dong Yu's face darkened.

There were thousands of family members captured this time. Their husbands, fathers, elders or younger generations all served under Yuan Shao.

Perhaps Dong Yu could use these family members to threaten the other party.

But what if the other party doesn’t fall for it?

Did he kill all these people?

Wouldn’t Dong Yu then become Shen Pei?

The effect of holding these people in your hands without saying a word is greater than pushing them to the front to threaten those people.

Because as long as you don't speak first, they will definitely have some reservations.

But once you open your mouth, the other party rejects you.

You will become passive.

If you don't kill them, they will do whatever they want because they know you don't dare to kill them.

Killing him is just a matter of one blow.

But if you do that, everyone on the other side will have a blood feud with you.

Previously, it was just official business, so everyone didn't have to try their best.

But if there is a personal grudge, then it is their own business. Who would not try their best?
