"Really? This flower is already in the hands of the Huang family, so don't make any slanderous remarks!"
The head of the Zhao family said indifferently.
The other family heads remained silent. After all, the matter had nothing to do with them, and no one was willing to stand up for the Huang family head.
After all, no one knows whether Lu Bu will kill the people who stood up for the Huang family master.
"Shameless person! The mastermind behind instigating the untouchables to cause trouble is the Zhao family. The Chen family and the Luo family are also involved. We hope that Marquis Wen will learn from this."
The head of the Huang family had a face full of despair, and he just stabbed out everything he knew in one go in order to survive.
When the Zhao family leader heard this, his face changed slightly, and he said hurriedly: "Marquis Wen, this is the Huang family leader's slander, don't believe it!"
"Take it down!"
Lu Bu waved his hand, not wanting to listen to the Huang Family Master anymore.
"Tyrant Lu Bu, you must die a happy death!"
After the Huang family leader was dragged away, his face was ashen and he knew he was dead, so he yelled and cursed.
Lu Bu, however, seemed to have not heard anything and said with a smile: "I am also a man of my word. Since someone has had his whole house searched, then this matter has been exposed."
"But if there are still people who dare to cause trouble in public next time, the old rules are, continue to play this game, and then one of you will be chosen and the whole family will be wiped out!"
When the heads of the family heard that they wanted to play such an exciting game, their hands were shaking slightly, and they had already made up their minds that they would never instigate the untouchables to cause trouble again.
This Lu Bu was simply too cruel in his behavior and actions. He ransacked his house and destroyed his family at every turn. They couldn't afford to provoke him, and they couldn't afford to hide.
"Marquis Wen, I promise that no untouchables will ever cause trouble in the future."
At this point, the Zhao family leader can only bite the bullet and promise.
If I had known earlier, I would not have provoked this Lu Bu. He is a complete lunatic and kills people without batting an eyelid.
It seems that this time the bloodletting is done.
After all, after this incident, the big players will no longer unite. Who dares to follow the Zhao family leader's speed of selling out his teammates.
The head of the Zhao family had to lament that although Lu Bu's behavior was very cruel, he was also extremely clever. A small game put everyone in the big family in danger, even if they didn't want to bleed.
"This matter has been revealed. I wonder how you have considered the donation?"
Lu Bu asked cordially.
But that kind tone almost made Patriarch Zhao so frightened that he peed. After what happened just now, I am afraid that no Patriarch thought that Lu Bu was an easy talker.
So the head of the Zhao family didn't even think about it, and immediately expressed his position: "The Zhao family is willing to spend a thousand taels of silver to assist Marquis Wen and create a great cause together!"
Thousand taels is not a small sum for the Zhao family leader. I am afraid that it will take several months of hard work to regain the blood, which can be regarded as a slight strain.
The head of the Zhao family was bleeding like this, and the other family heads could only follow suit and increase the amount of donations several times, or even ten times.
Lu Bu nodded with satisfaction and said: "You are indeed sensible people. I am very pleased. When I am rich and powerful, I will not forget you!"
Lu Bu knew that if he continued to force these big families, they might really jump over the wall. If he killed them all, Xiapi City would probably fall into depression for a long time.
Xiapi City already has a complete system, and every character plays an important role in it. To kill all a group of characters rashly, Lu Bu has no talent to replace him!
Then Pi City will inevitably fall into chaos, which is not good for Lu Bu.
What Lu Bu needs is a stable rear. When the time comes, Xiapi City will fall into chaos, and governance will take a lot of time, which will inevitably affect the speed of Lu Bu's capture of Xuzhou.
As long as these big business owners are willing to donate and behave reasonably well, Lu Bu will not touch these big business owners. He can just keep them like this and slaughter them when needed one day!
With donations from wealthy households, the Lu Mansion suddenly became wealthy. Under the leadership of Chen Gong, rewards and pensions were implemented, further boosting military morale!
The next step is to blackmail Cao Cao, conquer the land and win over Zhang Liao.
There are a total of sixteen counties in the Xiapi Kingdom, and only Xiapi City is still in Lu Bu's hands. Lu Bu must take advantage of this period of time to occupy the remaining fifteen counties and take over the entire Xiapi Kingdom!
Zhang Liao's troops stationed in Pengcheng Kingdom have been stationary. Compared with Lu Bu's current strength, his strength is actually not much different.
Moreover, Zhang Liao was a talented man in both civil and military affairs. Under his governance, Pengcheng State also prospered and became stronger.
Such a vacillating existence really made Chen Gong quite afraid, so Chen Gong decided to meet Zhang Liao in person and find out Zhang Liao's true inner world.
As for the other counties in Xuzhou, they are all under their own control. Zang Ba and Chang Xi are in charge of Langya County and Donghai County. They obey Lu Bu in name, but in fact they are half-hearted. When facing Cao Cao's offensive, they directly choose not to help either side. Lu Bu and Cao Cao were allowed to attack each other.
Of course, there are still some differences between Zang Ba and Chang Xi and Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao at least used to take orders from Lu Bu, while Zang Ba and Chang Xi were directly independent regimes. After being recognized by Liu Bei, they became even more lawless.
Zang Ba and Chang Xi didn't take Lu Bu seriously at all. It can be said that when Lu Bu was the lord of Xuzhou, he actually controlled two counties, and one of them was still managed by Zhang Liao on behalf of him.
The remaining counties fell into the hands of Zang Ba, Chang Xi, and Chen Deng and his son respectively. Of course, when Liu Bei was the lord of Xuzhou, the situation was not much better. The actual number of counties under his control was almost two and a half.
This was despite the full support of Mi Zhu and Chen Deng and his son. Liu Bei even took the initiative to take a step back and recognized the legal status of Zang Ba and Chang Xi. Only then could he have the status of the lord of Xuzhou.
Therefore, it is not easy to dominate Xuzhou. There are princes everywhere, each of them is a tough nut to crack, and there are strong enemies all around. It is impossible to concentrate on conquering guys like Zang Ba and Chang Xi.
At the same time, Cao Cao will also take action and will not let Lu Bu easily occupy Xuzhou. He will definitely send people to stop Lu Bu's expansion. Liu Guanzhang, Chen Deng and his son are both candidates.
I heard that Chen Deng and his son had fled to Guangling County and were recruiting troops to prevent Lu Bu from attacking.
If Lu Bu wants to take over the entire Xuzhou, there are still many obstacles that need to be overcome. The issue of money and food is just the first problem, and problems will follow one after another.
Lu Bu sent various troops to attack the remaining counties of Xiapi City. Wei Xu and Gao Shun led five thousand troops. They must capture all the cities of Xiapi State within a month.
Lu Bu himself was not idle, assisting Chen Gong in dealing with a lot of old things in Xiapi City. After all, many people were afraid of Lu Bu. Only when Lu Bu was in charge of Xiapi City could Chen Gong continue his work.
Lu Bu was also ready to go to meet Cao Cao's envoy. He was a little-known little character. After all, Lu Bu's reputation was notorious, and not many celebrities were willing to take refuge in Lu Bu.
Chen Gong counts as one, Chen Deng and his son count as half, and the rest of the celebrities are unwilling to take a second look at Lu Bu.
Now Lu Bu can only reuse the poor men, which is also the only way for Lu Bu to break the situation.
