Seeing Lu Wu being beheaded by Zhao Yun with one sword.

The group of people following Lu Wu were frightened to death on the spot.

At this time, they kept kowtowing to Cao Zhi and Zhao Yun, begging Cao Zhi to forgive them.

Cao Zhi, on his side, looked at Zhao Yun.

The meaning is very clear. If there are any sorrows or grievances, they will be resolved at the same time.

And Zhao Yun, after killing Lu Wu.

The anger in my heart has dissipated.

Thinking that these people would be useful to Cao Zhi, he shook his head.

"Zijian, what are you still hesitating about? Kill all these people!"

Cao Zhang urged.

"No hurry——" Cao Zhi said with a smile:

"Don't you think it's strange for them to be here, given their identities?"

"So what do you mean?" Cao Zhang asked.

"Just ask them and you'll know!" said Cao Zhi.

After saying this.

Cao Zhi rode up to them and said with a smile:

"I ask, you answer. If the answer satisfies me, you can live. If the answer does not satisfy me, I will hand you over to General Zilong!"

Seeing Cao Zhi say this, these people dared not object.

Especially after seeing the scene where Lu Wu was beheaded by Zhao Yun.

They nodded immediately, fearing that if they were a little slow, they would end up like Lu Wu.

"who are you?"

Cao Zhi said.

"Sir, we are servants of the Fanyang Lu family. Lu Yu is our head of the family, and Lu Wu is our leader this time!"

These people hurriedly said.

“Where did these disaster victims come from?”

Cao Zhi said again.

"Well... my lord, after the Yuan brothers learned that Cao Cao... no, Cao Sikong had recaptured Bingzhou, they knew that Cao Sikong would target them next!"

"Therefore, the Yuan brothers sold the people of the three northern counties of Youzhou to the Wuhuan in exchange for the opportunity for them to send troops!"

"Internally, they plundered food from Youzhou. Countless people lost their food. To avoid starvation, they begged southward and became victims of the disaster!"

These people hurriedly said.

Along with their words.

Cao Zhang suddenly realized.

At the same time, he silently made a note of Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang in his heart.

"If I'm not mistaken, your Lu family did the same?"

At this moment, Jia Xu suddenly said.

When these words were spoken, Cao Zhi and others were shocked.

“This… is good!”

These people nodded.

"After hearing the news, the head of the family first angrily scolded the Yuan brothers for being unfilial sons, and then mocked them for being so stupid!"

"The head of the family said that the Yuan brothers appeared to be stealing food from the common people, but in reality, most of their food came from local tyrants."

"They sent people disguised as bandits to sneak into the homes of powerful people late at night, killing anyone they saw. After the killings, they secretly transported the food away. After the food was transported away, they set a huge fire. Because this was done secretly, it was not discovered by others..."

"So you're going to follow the example of the Yuan brothers and rob the local tyrants?"

Cao Zhang interrupted.

"The head of the family said that the powerful should do whatever they can to save up food, so they should do it on a large scale. Therefore, he chose to take action against the local nobles!"

The person who spoke said tremblingly.

While speaking, he looked at Cao Zhi and the others.

He was afraid that if Cao Zhi and others couldn't hold back, he and others would follow in Lu Wu's footsteps.

After hearing this man's words, Cao Zhi and others were all shocked.

In the Han Dynasty, the royal family and the gentry shared the world.

Taking action against the gentry will provoke resistance from gentry all over the world.

Even Cao Cao did not dare to act rashly against the gentry without absolute reason.

They didn't expect that Lu Yu would be so bold!!!

"Aren't you afraid of being exposed?"

Cao Zhang said again.

"Don't worry, once our master takes action, he will leave no one alive. He only targets the small nobles near his home. Afterwards, he will also capture a few refugees to take the blame, so no one will notice!"

"In addition, in order to encourage more disaster victims to move south, the head of the family secretly sent people to burn down all the houses of the people within a radius of dozens of miles. At the same time, he himself distributed porridge and food in Zhuo County (the seat of Zhuo County) to guide the disaster victims south!"

The person who spoke before responded.

"屮!"

Seeing that Lu Yu had even prepared a scapegoat, what else could Cao Zhang say?

"Does your Lu family really want to join Cao Sikong?"

At this moment, Jia Xu suddenly said.

"Not bad!"

Everyone nodded.

"Since you want to surrender to Cao Sikong, then why did you lead the disaster victims south, and why did you just incite them to fight against us?"

Jia Xu said again.

"this--"

Everyone was speechless.

They looked at each other, hesitant, and dared not answer Jia Xu's question.

When Cao Zhi saw this, he immediately gave Chen a look.

Chen Dao drew his sword and killed three people in a row amid their panic.

The hot blood instantly spilled onto other people.

These people were immediately paralyzed with fear.

Some timid ones were so scared that they wet their pants.

"I say, I say, I only beg you nobles not to kill me!"

"Don't kill me, I said!"

"I'll tell you everything!"

……

These people kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"The master's original intention was to join Cao Sikong!"

"But the head of the family knows that Cao Sikong has been victorious one after another. If the Lu family surrenders to Cao Sikong at this time, they will definitely not be taken seriously!"

"Therefore, the head of the family thought that if Cao Sikong failed a few more times, he would bring the entire Lu family to Cao Sikong and Cao Sikong would be very happy."

"At that time, whether it was sincere or deliberate, Cao Sikong would have promised the Lu family a high position!"

"That's why the head of the family sent Lu Wu to lead us among the disaster victims and spread rumors to them, saying that their current suffering was caused by Cao Sikong."

"If we encounter the Jizhou garrison, we must incite the victims and make them attack the soldiers. After all, there are so many victims. Even if we have to replace one hundred of them for one, Cao Sikong will not be able to withstand the loss!"

"Once Cao Sikong is overwhelmed by this matter, the head of the family will lead the Lu family to stabilize the victims and establish a great image in front of Cao Sikong..."

The person who was speaking spoke eloquently.

After saying this, he also realized that Lu Yu's plan was extremely vicious.

So as soon as he finished speaking, the man lowered his head.

Along with his words.

Cao Zhi and others could not help but be furious.

At the same time, Cao Zhi and others finally understood.

In the previous military intelligence, the truth was revealed that the so-called soldiers under Yuan Xi disguised themselves as refugees and attacked the Jizhou defenders.

Before meeting these people.

Cao Zhi still had a good impression of the Lu family.

After all, in later generations, Lu Zhi was known as one of the three heroes of the late Han Dynasty.

The records of him in history books are also very positive.

But who would have thought that Lu Yu, the son of Lu Zhi, would be such a person.

As for Zhao Yun.

Originally, he was still angry because Lu Yu attacked him because of a warhorse.

But now, Zhao Yun is no longer angry.

Now, Zhao Yun wants to kill Lu Yu!

……

"My dear gentlemen, we have said everything that can and cannot be said!"

"You promised us that you wouldn't kill us!"

These people kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Along with the words of these people.

Everyone's eyes quickly focused on Cao Zhi.

"Zijian, let me kill them. I didn't promise them that I would not be breaking my promise if I kill them!"

Cao Zhang said angrily.

"Fourth Young Master, let me kill them!"

At this time, Zhang Liao clenched his fists and his whole body was shaking.

"Fourth Young Master, Yun is willing to do it for you!"

Zhao Yun rode forward at this time.

"Fourth Young Master, let me do it!"

Chen Dao was eager to try.

Seeing that Cao Zhang and others wanted to kill them, these people were dumbfounded.

As for Cao Zhi, he did not respond to them at this moment, but looked at Jia Xu.

"Mr. Jia, if it were you, what would you do?" Cao Zhi said.

"Does the Fourth Young Master want to live or die?" Jia Xu asked.

"All is fine!" said Cao Zhi.

"Well... since the Fourth Young Master promised not to kill them, then we won't kill them. However, they share the blame for the suffering of these disaster victims. I suggest breaking their legs and abandoning them here. As long as passing disaster victims let them go, it will be considered that they didn't deserve to die!"

Jia Xu said lightly.

As soon as these words came out.

Cao Zhi and others were stunned at first.

Then Cao Zhi and others realized Jia Xu's cruelty.

I recalled the scene when I and others first met the victims.

Cao Zhi knew that they would have a miserable end!!!

"As expected of a 'poison master'!"

Cao Zhi sighed in his heart.

As for those servants of the Lu family who were begging for mercy just now.

At this moment, after hearing Jia Xu's words.

Their faces turned pale in an instant.

The look he gave Jia Xu was filled with fear.

"Kill us!"

These people mustered up the courage to shout.

In response, their tendons were brutally severed.

After doing all this.

Cao Zhi looked at the victims behind him and said loudly:

"Everyone, I am the General of the Western Expedition of the Han Dynasty, and my father is the Prime Minister of the current dynasty!"

"In Jizhou, I have already ordered the garrison to distribute food to you. As long as you arrive in Jizhou, you will have something to eat!"

After saying this.

Cao Zhi ordered his soldiers again.

Leave half of the remaining dried sweet potatoes for them.

After doing all this.

Cao Zhi and others left.

Cao Zhi and others had just left.

The victims surrounded the Lu family servants who had followed Lu Wu.

"What are you going to do? There's food there. Take the food and go to Jizhou. There's food there!"

The men shouted.

But unfortunately, none of the victims moved.

The victims heard the conversation they had just had with Jia Xu.

When he thought about the sufferings he and others had endured, he realized that it was all caused by the Lu family.

These people would rather eat his flesh and peel off his bones.

In fact, they did!

In the horror of everyone in the Lu family.

Pairs of large black hands kept getting bigger in their pupils.

After one stick of incense.

There is a rich meaty aroma here...
