"My lord, it's not good, it's not good! Lu Bu has destroyed the city!"
In the Chen Mansion in Yingchuan, Yanzhou, a servant rushed in in a panic and reported to Chen Shi.
"What a good thing!"
"It's over, it's over, Lu Bu will definitely kill us."
"Yes, yes, who would have thought that Cao Cao would obtain the Yanzhou Cauldron."
"It is rumored that the mountains, rivers, landforms and rivers of our Yanzhou are depicted on the Yanzhou tripod. If there is a slight change, the map on the tripod will also change."
"Master Chen, you should think of a way!"
"A century-old foundation has been destroyed in my hands. I am ashamed of my ancestors!"
...
After hearing the servant's report, the Chen Mansion's meeting hall suddenly burst into mourning, and some even fainted from being unable to bear the blow.
Lu Bu, the best general in the world, was already famous and feared, but now that he was awakened by Cao Cao, his strength became even more terrifying.
Others bend their bows to shoot arrows, but Lu Bu bends his bow to shoot halberds.
One halberd can blow open the city gate from a hundred steps away.
Especially after Cao Cao broke through the difficulty of passing five levels and killing six generals and nine tripods, and obtained the Yanzhou tripod.
The mountains, rivers, landforms and rivers of Yanzhou are all under Cao Cao's eyes.
Cao Cao's army was even more overwhelming and irresistible. Their coalition forces were defeated one by one by Cao Cao. Now their last line of defense, Yingchuan, has also been defeated.
What awaits them will be Cao Cao's wrath.
"Why panic! I'm still here!"
Seeing the people around him panicking, Chen Shi yelled at everyone, and then everyone became quiet.
"But, Lu Bu is about to come in!"
One of the members of a small aristocratic family had a worried look on his face, worried that Lu Bu would come in with someone.
"madness!"
"The city of Yingchuan has been broken. With the speed of Cao's army, they would have already entered if they wanted to. Now that Cao's army has not arrived, it is obvious that they will not kill us."
Chen Shi slowly explained.
With Lu Bu's personality, if the city is broken, he will definitely rush in as soon as possible. But now that he has not come in yet, Cao Cao must have made arrangements in advance.
In this case, they still have a glimmer of hope.
"Uncle Shi is still as smart as ever, and the younger generation admires him."
Just then a middle-aged male voice came in.
Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw a middle-aged man walking in slowly.
"Xun You!"
"Humph, traitor!"
"I don't want to conspire with him."
"Why does this traitor have the nerve to do this!"
.......
The person who came was none other than Xun Yu’s nephew, Xun You!
"Hey, isn't this the mastermind - Xun You?"
"Where's your good uncle Xun Yu?!"
Chen Shi looked at Xun You angrily and said.
Among the Yanzhou aristocratic families, only the Xun family quit because of their uncles and nephews Xun Yu and Xun You.
In their eyes, Xun You was a traitor, so they naturally had a bad tone.
"Xun You has met Uncle Shi and all of you."
"My uncle is ill and cannot come in person, so I have to take his place."
Faced with everyone's cynicism, Xun You didn't take it to heart and still saluted everyone one by one.
"If you want to kill or behead me, please do as you please!"
Faced with Xun You's politeness, Chen Shi didn't buy it and raised his proud neck, not giving Xun You any face.
"Yes, it's up to you whether you want to kill or cut into pieces."
"That's right, if I frown, my surname is not Wang."
"Thief Cao's lackey, you are not welcome here!"
.......
The scene suddenly stirred up waves again. Although they didn't want to die, no one was stupid.
If you don't stand with Chen Shi at this time, it will be really hopeless.
Therefore, everyone behaved very toughly.
"Uncle Chen Shi, this rebellion is against nature. We have already lost, so why are you bothering?"
How could Xun You not know what they were thinking.
Since they are willing to perform, he can just accompany them later.
Xun You sighed and advised the uncle in front of him.
There are two major families in Yingchuan.
One is their Xun family, and the other is their Chen family.
Cao Cao opened a wide library of books in the army, let these soldiers learn literacy, and established schools to teach the children of these military families, breaking the monopoly of knowledge by the aristocratic families and violating the bottom line of these aristocratic families.
Why did the family slander Dong Zhuo before?
Isn't it because Dong Zhuo opened a wide library and recruited common people? It touched the interests of the aristocratic families.
It was just that no one dared to provoke Dong Zhuo's power at that time, and Cao Cao was weak, so the noble families attacked Cao Cao to scare the monkeys.
But they underestimated Cao Cao and Cao Cao's determination.
In order to keep the Xun family, his uncle made a deal with Cao Cao, using him and his uncle to serve Cao Cao in exchange for a chance of survival for the Xun family.
And today he came here on Cao Cao's order to persuade Chen Shi, the head of the Chen family.
Although the influence of the aristocratic family has decreased, we have to admit that no prince can do without the aristocratic family now.
Likewise, Cao Cao cannot live without him.
"Yeah, we lost."
Chen Shi also sighed, this battle was over.
Liu Yan refused to support, and Cao Cao obtained the Yanzhou Cauldron. It can be said that they lost completely, and they lost completely.
"Uncle Chen Shi, the world has changed. What Mr. Cao did is God's will and public opinion!"
"Even if Mr. Cao doesn't come forward, someone else will come forward."
"Why is Uncle Shi so stubborn?!"
"With Duke Cao's ability, he may not be able to conquer the world. You and I will all be Conglong heroes by then. It won't be easy to revitalize the family!"
Xun You continued to persuade Chen Shi.
From the moment the immortals set up a power competition, the family was destined to be lonely. The princes would step by step test the family's bottom line and gradually erode the family's heritage.
It's just that the Yanzhou rebellion accelerated the family's decline.
From the end of this war, the princes of the world will no longer take the aristocratic family in their eyes and begin to vigorously cultivate their own talents.
"this..."
After hearing Xun You's words, the people around him began to whisper.
Apparently he was a little moved.
They have seen Cao Cao's war potential, and he indeed has the ability to conquer the world.
"Gong Cao is a man who loves talents. As long as you are willing to surrender, Gong Cao is a man who loves talents. Although Xun You is not talented, he can protect you and your family from worries."
Seeing that the other party was moved, Xun You struck while the iron was hot and continued to persuade them.
"Cao Cao can really let us go?"
"Humph, even if you let me go, you will have to settle the score later!"
"Xun You, can you guarantee that Cao Cao will not settle the scores?"
.......
Naturally, many families would not believe Xun You's words. They did not believe that Cao Cao would let them go so easily.
"No need, go back and tell Cao Cao that we are willing to surrender!"
At this moment, Chen Shi interrupted everyone and immediately made a decision on behalf of everyone.
I am the fish and meat, and he is the knife.
Their life and death are no longer in their hands.
What Xun You said is true is no longer important.
"Uncle Shi's name is indeed true. Xun You will go back and tell Duke Cao now."
Hearing Chen Shi's agreement, Xun You smiled slightly.
He could only guarantee that their lives would not be harmed now. As for settling the scores later, that was not his concern.
