Your Majesty, please spare Diao Chan; your yang energy is too strong.

After all, Cao Cao's guess was correct; Yuan Shao's son was indeed dead.

And they were so dead they could not die again.

He died right in front of himself.

Once this news gets out, the entire situation in the north will likely change.

How could he not be prepared?

Of course, there was more resentment towards Zhou Heng.

If it weren't for Zhou Heng, their situation wouldn't have become so tense.

No matter how angry you are, there's nothing you can do.

Because now all the feudal lords in the world.

Everyone believed that Cao Cao was responsible for this.

Again.

Only Cao Cao had the qualifications, the ability, and the courage to do this.

As for Zhou Heng, in the eyes of the world...

He's just a nobody.

To put it nicely, he was a regional warlord; to put it bluntly, he was just a bandit.

Few of the real feudal lords took it seriously.

In this era, having no identity means having no talent, and having no talent means no one will come to you.

That means you can't develop.

Zhou Heng took advantage of this common prejudice in people's hearts.

They successfully remained silent about this matter.

It could be said that even if Zhou Heng were to step forward now and claim that he was the one who did it,

None of the feudal lords in the world would believe it.

The same applies to Yuan Shao.

Because Zhou Heng is not qualified.

This is just like what happened in Xuzhou before.

Why did Lü Bu, Liu Bei, and even Yuan Shu fall for Zhou Heng's schemes?

It's just that they don't take Zhou Heng seriously.

Underestimating the enemy is undoubtedly the greatest sin.

Even now, in Cao Cao's mind, Zhou Heng is already considered extremely important.

But so what?

Who would believe him if he told them?

This is also why Cao Cao chose to take the blame himself.

Even if you're so angry you're grinding your teeth, there's nothing you can do.

............

Zhou Heng was naturally unaware of what was happening here.

But even if I knew, it wouldn't matter.

Because this was his plan all along.

I'm not afraid of you knowing, I'm afraid you don't know.

Furthermore, regardless of whether you know it or not, it doesn't change the outcome of what's about to happen.

He continued to bombard the city gate with Italian cannons.

Clearly, sincerity can move mountains.

The ancients were right after all.

Under Zhou Heng's powerful firepower, even though the five beauties of the Zhen family had a lot of dissatisfaction in their hearts before, they were still able to overcome the pressure.

At this point, they had no choice but to accept it.

Ultimately, they have now become Zhou Heng's women.

One glory and one glory.

This is an unchangeable fact.

That's what was good about ancient times.

If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, follow the dog.

They wouldn't say, "I'm being affectionate with you here, but then I'm going to find someone else over there."

In this ancient era of feudalistic thinking.

Now that she's chosen this man, she won't regret it.

So even if they felt quite unhappy inside, they had no choice but to accept it at this point.

In particular, Zhou Heng's firepower is still as strong as ever.

He was able to take on five opponents single-handedly.

As the saying goes, the gateway to a woman's soul is... well, you know.

Even Zhen Mi, who was known as the Goddess of the Luo River.

The same is true.

Of course, besides its powerful firepower...

There are actually other reasons as well.

For example, Zhou Heng's appearance is already at the level of a campus heartthrob, which undoubtedly fits the current aesthetic standards of women.

In addition, there's Zhou Heng's poem.

In ancient times, practically no woman could withstand it.

Can you handle one song? Can you handle two?

Therefore, with Zhou Heng's development in various aspects, the five beauties of the Zhen family changed their attitude towards Zhou Hen at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

Unfortunately, it's just that...

During this period, Zhao Yun's gaze was always filled with anger whenever he saw him.

Zhou Heng had no doubt.

If I were to walk alone with Zhao Yun, I would definitely get beaten up.

Even if he himself is his lord.

They couldn't escape this beating.

This made him feel a bit awkward.

But there's nothing we can do, since we made a promise beforehand.

The result is now...

It's understandable that Zhao Yun cares about his younger sister.

"My lord, we have just received news that Yuan Shao has mobilized a large army and is about to besiege Zhongshan."

"I'm afraid we should withdraw first, otherwise, if we are surrounded, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Just as Zhou Heng, supporting his aching back, walked out of Zhen Jiang's room.

Zhang Liao walked over with a serious expression and said...

"Oh, that's a pretty quick reaction. How are Cao Cao and Zhang Yan's reactions?"

Zhou Heng nodded, not surprised.

After all, such a big thing has happened, if Yuan Shao still hasn't reacted by now...

He really overestimated the other party.

"We just received news that Cao Cao has ordered Cao Ren to lead 30,000 troops back to reinforce the capital immediately?"

"I'm afraid I'll be back in Yanzhou in about half a month at most."

Zhang Liao said.

"Half a month?"

"Almost done, where's Zhang Yan?"

Zhou Heng nodded.

"We don't have any definite news from Zhang Yan yet, since she's in the Taihang Mountains. It's difficult for our people to infiltrate her."

Zhang Liao said.

"Hmm, that should be about right."

"Now it's up to Yuan Shao to decide what to do."

"Pass down the order: proceed according to plan."

"Have the Zhen and Mi families spread the word to me."

"Cao Cao killed Yuan Xi."

"I want this sound wave to spread throughout the world in the shortest possible time."

"That will be the time when we achieve our goal."

Zhou Heng said calmly.

"Yes."

"Alright, you can go now. Be prepared during this time. I expect things to get very chaotic in the next month or two."

Zhou Heng looked into the distance, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

He then looked back at Zhen Jiang's room again, and his lips twitched violently.

But I gritted my teeth and pushed open the door.

After all, the Zhen family was his true target...

The waste of five tons of ammunition finally eased Zhen Jiang's mind a little.

Ultimately, the reason he went to such great lengths to come to Jizhou was...

Isn't the purpose all for the Zhen family?

If the other party doesn't go with him, then all his plans will be in vain.

Fortunately, that didn't happen.

However, the cost is quite high.

Even with Zhou Heng's production speed, it would be difficult to replenish five tons of ammunition without a major overhaul in a day or two.

Of course, when you do great things, there will always be some sacrifices.

For the next two weeks, Zhou Heng focused on sorting out the Zhen family's assets.

There was no way around it; as the richest family in the Han Dynasty, the Zhen family's wealth was unimaginably vast.

Even a full two weeks?

It's far from finished.

There's no point in even discussing the possibility of a complete relocation.

Zhou Heng decided to take everything he could, and burn everything he couldn't on the spot.

Focus on one thing, even if it means destroying it, don't leave it for the enemy.
