Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 152
"What did you say? Lu Zhi ran away?"

Mu Yi had a headache, so he said why Cao Cao didn't have Lu Zhi by his side. It turned out that Lu Zhi had escaped from other places.

But looking at Xun Yu, Xun You, Dian Wei, Cao Ren behind Cao Cao...

Mu Yi could only helplessly rub his temples and put Lu Zhi's matter aside. In this kind of battlefield, it is simply impossible to catch one or two people who want to run away.

He was very lucky to be able to block Cao Cao. If he wanted to block Lu Zhi at the same time, it could only be said that he was thinking too much.

Moreover, a great Confucian like Lu Zhi is also a hot potato, and it is a bit too troublesome if it is really dropped in the hand.

"Okay, Feng Xiao, go and arrange people to take over Yanzhou, and I'll leave it to you for the time being!" Mu Yi ordered, and handed over the handling of Yanzhou to Guo Jia.

Cao Cao has surrendered, and it is easy to take over the remaining counties. The main problem is how to deal with the relationship with the Yanzhou family.

However, with Guo Jia leading the army, it is expected that there will not be such a family that is desperate to resist. The general situation is in Mu Yi's hands, and they will not be able to make any waves.

"Well, my lord is going to Xuzhou?" Guo Jia nodded calmly, and then asked with some guesswork.

"Yeah, news came from Yuanzhi that Xuzhou Mu Taoqian wanted to see me, so he gave Xuzhou Mu to me. Although Xuzhou is mine now, if Tao Qian cooperates, we can save a lot of things in the future. !” Mu Yi nodded.

After all, Tao Qian was Xuzhou Shepherd, and he did a good job during his reign. Many Xuzhou people have received Tao Qian's favor.

In this era when the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid with a fountain, if they kill Xuzhou Mu and forcefully take Xuzhou, many people will definitely come out to make trouble later.

If Tao Qian himself could abdicate to let Xian take the buff on him, their subsequent work in Xuzhou would be much smoother.

Mu Yi's arrival in Xuzhou went very smoothly, with the First Yellow Sky Legion, no thieves dared to jump out.

"I've seen Qingzhou Mu!" Tao Qian greeted Mu Yi in a grand manner, obviously preparing for his abdication.

Looking at Tao Qian's gray hair, and the figure that greeted him with a cane, Mu Yi sighed silently, the years are really not forgiving.

"Meet Tao Gong, just call me Zhengping!" Mu Yi saluted Tao Qian.

"Zhengping is being polite!!" Tao Qian hunched over and held a cane in return to Mu Yi.

"Tao Gong." Mu Yi sighed, and reached out to support Tao Qian. He clearly felt that Tao Qian's time was numbered.

"Hahaha, it doesn't have to be like this." Tao Qian laughed, but he clearly felt the sadness of a hero's twilight.

"I was curious why a talent like Xu Yuanzhi would be loyal to you, but you told me silently by defeating Cao Mengde!" Tao Qian laughed and praised Mu Yi.

He didn't expect that Mu Yi was so capable that he fought on two fronts and won all of them.

"Mr. Tao praised it absurdly, and Yi is just lucky!" Mu Yi said modestly.

"Hahaha, holding the land of the Three States, if you are just lucky, it would be great!"

While the two were exchanging pleasantries, Xu Shu hurried over with someone.

"Yuan Zhi, this is you!" Mu Yi frowned, and there was blood on Xu Shu's body.

"Don't worry about Zhengping, they're just some clowns!"

Tao Qian shook his head and said to Mu Yi.

"There are so many Xiao Xiaoxiao in Xuzhou, killing them endlessly! It made Zhengping laugh!"

"I'm old, so I can only let Yuan Zhi do it for me!" Tao Qian laughed when he said this.

After being entangled with the Xuzhou family for many years, it turned out that when I got old, I realized that these families were actually weak.

It only takes one war to completely destroy their reliance.

However, these aristocratic families are indeed strong enough in vitality and disgusting enough.

These days, he killed all the disobedient Xuzhou aristocratic families.

Logically speaking, there should be no opposition forces in Xuzhou.

Ever since he opened the city gate to welcome Xu Shu into Xuzhou City, some assassins and dead men would appear every now and then to assassinate himself and Xu Shu.

Although it can be easily suppressed every time, it is like a toad crawling on the feet, which is very annoying.

Xu Shu was welcoming Mu Yi with him, but suddenly a group of people ran out, trying to kill him.

The strength of the lineup is unprecedented, and it can even be called a rebellion.

Otherwise, Xu Shu would not have left at this juncture. Naturally, it was to kill all the rebels and ensure Mu Yi's safety.

Tao Qian glanced at Chen Deng, who was silent behind him, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. The family in Xuzhou was really ignorant. He thought Chen Deng would be a smart person, but he was also a fool.

Do you want to assassinate yourself, and then rely on the prestige of the Chen family to contribute to the state, so as to gain a good position in Qingzhou?
Good idea, but it's a pity he didn't die!
Chen Deng is good at everything, but he pays too much attention to the interests of the family, which makes him fall into the lower rank among the counselors.

Tao Qian glanced at Chen Deng blankly, since you want to die, don't blame him for being heartless.

Tao Qian welcomed Mu Yi into Xuzhou City.

After Tao Qian and Mu Yi arrived at the government office, they took Mu Yi to the table and sat on the same level as their own at the head of the table. After hesitating for a moment, they ordered Chen Deng to summon the big and small families in Xuzhou.

Although there are not many remaining aristocratic families in Xuzhou, there are still some aristocratic families alive after all.

Chen Deng took people from Xuzhou's big and small families to his seat with a blank expression. It was obvious that many of them were a little timid when they saw Mu Yi and Tao Qian.

Tao Qian killed too hard, especially after Xu Shu returned Tao Qian with a thousand Danyang veterans, many families had no power to oppose Tao Qian, and were easily killed.

"Zhengping, what do you think of Xuzhou?" Tao Qian toasted Mu Yi with a glass of wine, and then said with a smile.

Hearing this, the big and small families in Xuzhou trembled. For them, when this matter became a reality, the situation became even more difficult.

Although Tao Qian made a big killing, he didn't move them after all. We can only say that the families who died were considered failures in the struggle.

And Mu Yi, who was going to face next, was completely on the opposite side of the aristocratic family, and they might even kill them together, but now they have no choice but to resign themselves to fate.

"Xuzhou is worthy of being a rich and prosperous place in the world. It is not comparable to ordinary states and counties. Mr. Tao has made great achievements in governance, which is admirable!" Mu Yi said realistically.

"Hahaha, it can't be compared to Zhengping. In just a short period of time, the dilapidated Qingzhou has been governed to the point where it is not inferior to Xuzhou!"

A flash of nostalgia flashed in Tao Qian's eyes, and he responded to Mu Yi with a smile.

Flattery, after all, depends on who is speaking, and the little bastard and Mu Yi are naturally of two weights.

He didn't care about the former, but the latter was enough to make him laugh out loud.

The two sides became polite, and the bridal sedan chairs were carried by everyone, enjoying themselves for a while.

After drinking for three rounds, Tao Qian suddenly gave instructions to his subordinates.

"Come here, go and bring Xuzhou Yinshou!"

Soon Kong Rong and Zheng Xuan came up behind the guards holding Xuzhou State Mu's seal.

"Kong Beihai, Mr. Kang Cheng, I specially invited the two of you to be a witness today, thank you for your hard work!"

If Tao Qian wanted to abdicate, he naturally needed witnesses, and the ones Tao Qian chose were naturally celebrities, or two great Confucian scholars who had an inseparable relationship with Qingzhou.

Although these two great Confucian scholars are now labeled as Qingzhou, their words still have a certain degree of credibility.

Even if Tao Qian died at the banquet today, with Kong Rong and Zheng Xuan's endorsements, no one can use this incident to attack Mu Yi.

Tao Qian picked up Xuzhou State Shepherd's seal and stroked it lightly twice.

"Zhengping, it's done, you will be Xuzhou Mu from today on."

"Tao Gong..." Mu Yi was mentally prepared. Seeing Tao Qian hand over the seal representing Xuzhou's power so directly, he also caught it with both hands.

"Take care of the people in Xuzhou, don't let them suffer from such disasters again!" Tao Qian let go of his hands.

"If Zhengping has the heart, taking care of my two sons for me can be regarded as an end of my mind."

Tao Qian sighed, he still couldn't let go of his two sons, he felt sorry for the parents in the world, he was just an ordinary parent.

"Yi Ding will live up to Mr. Tao's trust!" Mu Yi said solemnly.

On the other side, Zheng Xuan was doing the work of a historian, recording the incident completely on the scroll, and then writing his name. Kong Rong was also doing the same thing.

This is their job as witnesses. If anyone wants to question it in the future, they must first cross their barrier.

"Congratulations to Lord Zhengping!"

There was a burst of applause in the government office, and Xuzhou was completely convinced.

"I'm old and weak, so I'll leave first!" Tao Qian also cupped his fists to congratulate Mu Yi, and then he claimed to be unwell and started to leave.

In fact, the scene was handed over to Mu Yi, and Mu Yi was asked to solve the subsequent matters.

"Yuanlong, help me leave, I still have something to say to you!"

But when Tao Qian left, he called Chen Deng.

Chen Deng was a little helpless, knowing that the previous assassination had hurt Tao Qian, and the other party was giving him eye drops.

Being labeled as Tao Qian's direct descendant, he needs to pay a higher price and make greater achievements if he wants to gain a good position in Qingzhou.

However, Chen Deng could only leave with Tao Qian. If Tao Qian made a statement at this moment, their Chen family would be really in trouble.

What was even more frightening was that Tao Qian copied their Chen family directly in the end, and they had nowhere to reason.

They themselves were the first movers, trying to step on Tao Qian's corpse to go further, but failed, and now they are naturally going to face backlash.

"Everyone, since I, Mu Zhengping, have accepted Xu Zhoumu's seal and you all recognize me as Xu Zhoumu, then please listen to me." Mu Yi raised a glass of wine and said to the rest of the people present.

"Mr. Zhengping, please speak!" Everyone quickly echoed in unison.

"I can forget about the past, everyone, please keep the Xuzhou government running, but the future regulations of Xuzhou must follow the rules I made!"

Having said that, Mu Yi looked at everyone present with deep meaning.

"The laws and regulations are ruthless, and I hope that you will not defy the law with your own body!"

"Justice and benevolence." Everyone in Xuzhou bowed their heads and said.

They breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what the worst situation did not happen, Mu Yi still cannot govern Xuzhou without them.

Afterwards, it was natural for the host and guest to have fun, and Mu Yi stayed in the Xuzhou government office that night, and Xuzhou returned to Mu from then on.

But the next day, Mu Yi received the news.

Tao Qian died, and died in the Chen family.

Mu Yi was shocked when he got the news, and hurried to Chen's house, which was already surrounded by Xu Shu.

Anyway, Tao Qian just gave up Xuzhou to Mu Yi yesterday, and died today. Even if Kong Rong and Zheng Xuan endorsed it, he would not be attacked, but the impact would be extremely bad.

"Chen Gui, Chen Deng, what else can you say!"

After watching the scene, Mu Yi stared blankly at Chen Gui and Chen Deng in front of him.

How Tao Qian died is not important, what is important is that Tao Qian died.

If he doesn't want to top the tank, then he can only let the Chen family top the tank.

Chen Gui and Chen Deng, the two spiritual counselors, were ashen-faced at the moment, and they knew very well what would happen next in their minds.

But everything happened too fast, as soon as Tao Qian died in their Chen's house, Xu Shu came to visit him, and they couldn't even run away.

Tao Qian dragged their Chen family and Xuzhou family into hell with his life, and now Mu Yi can completely eradicate their Chen family in an open and honest manner.

Rather than saying it is a coincidence, it is better to simply say that this is the agreement reached by Mu Yi and Tao Qian.

Cleaning up their Xuzhou Chen family can not only kill chickens and monkeys, but also disintegrate the connection between the aristocratic families.

The most important thing is to give Mu Yi an excuse, a reason to deal with the Xuzhou family.

Chen Deng knew very well that no matter what they said, they could not escape the fate of destroying the family.

It was only at this moment that they realized that Mu Yi did not want to co-govern with their aristocratic families, what Mu Yi wanted was absolute control.

Tao Qian saw this, so he died generously. This contribution will make Qingzhou completely confess Tao Qian's two sons.

Even if he can't make it to the top because of talent, it will definitely not be a problem to become rich in the future.

"Kill!" Seeing that Chen Deng's face was ashen, Mu Yi shook his head and walked out of Chen's house, and coldly gave orders to Ma Er and Bai He beside him.

"Congratulations, my lord!" Xu Shu quietly appeared next to Mu Yi.

"Good job!" Mu Yi gave Xu Shu a look, "However, there will be no next time!"

Mu Yi didn't like this method, but he gave Xu Shu and the others the right to act cheaply, so Mu Yi just beat Xu Shu, and didn't reprimand Xu Shu.

"Here!" Xu Shu's forehead was dripping with cold sweat.

Although Mu Yi's tone was very gentle, he felt the heavy pressure, which sent chills down his spine.

"Tell me, what do you plan to do with the Xuzhou family?" Mu Yi asked calmly.

"Move to Qingzhou! Transfer the officials from Qingzhou here!" Xu Shu gave his opinion on how to deal with it.

The officials in Qingzhou are all veterans, so it is reassuring to let them handle Xuzhou's government affairs.

And Qingzhou people's hearts are in hand, even if these Xuzhou aristocratic families want to deal with moths, there is nothing they can do.

"No, Qingzhou's officials have just been clean, how can they put these black apples in Qingzhou, and then dampen the enthusiasm of the people, and these officials will die!"

Mu Yi shook his head and rejected Xu Shu's proposal.

"Moreover, these aristocratic families really help promote governance in the local area. This is a reality. Without their cooperation, it would be very difficult to promote laws and regulations to every household in every village!"

Mu Yi followed up and said that he had conducted on-the-spot investigations, and the people had complicated attitudes toward most of the local families, but they were generally convinced.

In the dilapidated situation of Qingzhou, the clan forces are very prestigious, let alone a place like Xuzhou.
