Xuande

Chapter 664 Leaving Xuzhou, there is a glimmer of life

After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, he didn't speak anymore, just drinking and eating meat on his own, looking very happy.

Those accompanying generals also drank and ate meat together. They were very happy, and they couldn't see the depressed appearance after the defeat in the first battle.

It was no longer them who were worried, but the Xuzhou nobles who were present at the meeting.

They looked at each other in blank dismay, very worried about Dong Zhuo's words, wondering what specific plans Dong Zhuo and Liu Bei had in the future, whether they wanted to kill someone or something.

Some family representatives with ghosts in their hearts were even more worried, and they had some special thoughts in their hearts.

After returning to the family, Qiu Yang, the head of the wealthy Qiu family in Wuyuan County, Pengcheng State, found Qiu Rui, the person in charge of business in the family, and told him to terminate the business cooperation with the Yellow Turban Army and fully shrink the family business. Recently, the family has entered into a state of dormancy, living in seclusion and keeping their tails between their legs.

Qiu Rui felt very incomprehensible about this.

"The cooperation with the Yellow Turbans allows us to earn more than three times the interest. Without them, who would we do such a good business with? If we can't earn so much interest, how can we buy land to expand the family business?"

"Yes, we can make a lot of money by cooperating with the Yellow Turban, but when the general arrives, we will be killed! We have made money but lost our lives to spend it. Can this kind of thing continue?"

Qiu Yang said helplessly: "Stop, General Liu has already noticed this place, if Dong Zhuo is defeated, General Liu will come in person, once he comes, all our affairs will be discovered, after that, Qiu can Whether it will survive or not is the question.”

Qiu Rui was shocked.

"Luo Yang already knew about our affairs? How could it be? Could it be that someone informed you?"

"Not necessarily, but Dong Zhuo must have known something, but he didn't want to act immediately and tear us apart, so he invited so many of us to dinner with great fanfare."

Qiu Yang sighed and said, "That's the Hongmen Banquet that Xiang Yu invited Gaozu to. It's a meal, but it's a warning, warning us to stop as soon as possible, otherwise, the court will not just sit idly by.

Dong Zhuo is a man with means, and General Liu is an invincible man in the world. It is no good for us to be hostile to them. Stop it. After the last transaction, let's get out and don't have any contact with the Yellow Turban. "

Qiu Rui lowered his head and thought for a while, then sighed helplessly and nodded.

"Understood, I will arrange it."

"Well, let's go."

Qiu Yang waved his hands and returned to his bedroom to rest tiredly.

Later on, Qiu Rui personally led the team, brought the currency of the last transaction to the place where the transaction was booked with the Yellow Turban Army, and made the last transaction with them.

Then, Qiu Rui notified the representatives of the Yellow Turban Army about the relevant matters, telling them that this was the last transaction, and the Yellow Turban Army would be left to their own devices for the rest.

"Isn't it always been good before? Why did you stop doing business suddenly? You can make money, and we can also make something. This is a win-win thing, why give up?"

The person in charge of the Yellow Turban Army does not want to lose this high-quality trade and intelligence line.

Previously, the Qiu family provided the Yellow Turban Army with a lot of specific action information of the Han Army through their relationship in the state capital. The accuracy of the information was very high, allowing them to prepare in advance and win many victories.

It can be said that Liu Yan suffers twice again and again, that is, he suffers from the inner ghost.

It can be said that Qiu's information is an important reliance for the Xuzhou Yellow Turbans to gradually gain a foothold, so the Yellow Turban Army can tolerate Qiu's purchase of many materials they looted at a price that is three times lower than the market price, so that Qiu can make a lot of money Earn extra money.

This is a good thing for win-win, but now, the Qiu family didn't do it.

Is Liu Bei that scary?
The trade envoy of the Yellow Turban Army returned to Liangcheng County, the base camp of the Yellow Turban Army in Xuzhou, and told the news to the big leader Xu He and the second leader Sima Ju.

Xu He and Sima Ju were also very surprised when they suddenly heard the news. They didn't know what happened to the Qiu family. After listening to the envoy's narration, they calmed down a little, and their eyes were full of vigilance and fear.

But this is just the beginning. In the next two days, the other five families that have cooperated with them also sent people to send news, saying that the cooperation ends here, and everyone will meet again in the mountains and rivers. I wish them good luck.

Now Xu He and Sima Ju were completely stunned.

Could it be that Liu Bei really set his sights on Xuzhou?

"Liu Xuande actually noticed this, which means that Liu Xuande has dealt with all the troubles in the north, and now he is free to deal with us."

Xu He whispered: "If Liu Xuande comes here, we have absolutely no hope of defeating him. We will definitely be defeated. Annihilation of the entire army is a good ending. At worst, we will all be caught and sent to Luoyang to be cracked." ..."

Sima Ju gritted his teeth, and said with hatred: "Probably not? Although Liu Xuande is very good at fighting, he may not be truly invincible, right? Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. Why is Liu Xuande victorious in every battle? Is he a god?"

"We are relatively reluctant to deal with Xuzhou's officers and soldiers, let alone Liu Xuande's elite soldiers? There can be no assumptions about this kind of thing."

Xu He said worriedly: "Dong Zhuo is threatening the people of Xuzhou in this way. He obviously guessed that we have a cooperative relationship with some wealthy families in Xuzhou. If he does this, more wealthy families in Xuzhou will not dare to continue to cooperate with us. We will lose our support for the Han army." With the control of the action, the next situation will be very bad."

Sima Ju had a look of hatred.

"Hateful Liu Bei! Are we just waiting to die?"

"Xuzhou is the place of the Fourth World War, which is really not conducive to our long-term transition. Under the current situation, we have only one choice."

Xu He said slowly: "Go south, go to Jiangdong or Jingzhou to find opportunities, avoid Liu Xuande's edge, and open up our own territory, and then develop slowly."

Sima Ju was furious.

"The achievements of so many years, the things that so many brothers sacrificed their lives for, we actually give up like this? No matter how hard Liu Bei can fight, I will fight for my life, and I will break off a few of his teeth! We must not just leave like this Of!"

"All! You have to calm down! It is precisely because so many brothers sacrificed their lives for what we have today, that we need to preserve our useful bodies!"

Xu He said coldly: "A temporary retreat is not a failure, but a preparation for continuing to fight. Liu Xuande's cavalry in the Central Plains will arrive soon. We are not opponents, but across a big river, Liu Xuande has nothing to do with us. up.

We can use the experience in Xuzhou to use Yangzhou or Jingzhou. All in all, we must not let Liu Bei catch all of them. If you stay in Xuzhou, you will die. If you leave Xuzhou, you will have a chance!Don't be rash! "

Sima Ju was full of resentment, yelled and smashed several desks before he calmed down a little.

But this calm, he had a small idea.

"You can go, but we can't leave so easily."

"Ok?"

"Those rich families made so much money by lowering our prices, and now they say they won't help. How can there be such a good thing in the world? They have to pay for it!"

Sima Ju said with hatred: "Kill them all!"

"This……"

Xu He frowned and thought for a while: "Is this not very good?"

"Do you still think we can come back?"

Sima Ju said angrily: "Liu Bei is here, is there a place for us in Xuzhou? This is what you said, once we leave, we will never come back, so before we leave, we must teach those traitors a lesson! "

When Sima Ju said this, Xu He was also speechless.

After thinking for a long time, Xu He could only nod helplessly, agreeing with Sima Ju's idea.

So when Dong Zhuo was preparing for war and preparing for the Yellow Turban Army of World War II, Xu He and Sima Ju had already dispatched elite Yellow Turban Army to split up and take down the six families in Pengcheng and Xiapi who cooperated with them.

The yellow turban elites rushed away full of anger and greed. All members of the six families were killed, the family property was looted, and the family residence was set on fire, turning it into a piece of white ground.

After all the tricks are exhausted, the profit is tripled, and in the end, only a vast expanse of whiteness is really clean.
