It did not take too long for Xinpi and Zhu Ling to verify that Xu Shu had indeed left, and based on Xinpi's judgment, he concluded that Yuan Shao might have arrived and Liu Bei was in a tough fight and needed rescue.
Under such circumstances, Xinpi and Zhu Ling naturally handed over the city defense to their lieutenants with confidence, and then went to the Cui family overnight with gifts to apologize.
In fact, all of this was within Cui Yan's expectations. There was a strategy called playing hard to get. Although Cui Yan did not have any amazing ingenuity, once he made up his mind, he would never look back. Since he still planned to fall to Liu Bei, Then even if Xu Shu is not there, he still has to find a way to catch up with Liu Bei.
After that, the three of them naturally pushed cups and cups, and drank very drunk. Xin Pi and Zhu Ling came to apologize themselves. Cui Yan drank so generously, how could the accompanying people not pour it into their mouths? Naturally, even generals like Zhu Ling were knocked to the ground.
"Deru, please contact Liu Bei for me. The only member of the Cui family I can trust is you." Cui Yan was about to vomit out the gall, but his consciousness was already clear.
"I'll go right away." Cui Lin nodded immediately and said, "I have already ordered people to carry the two of them into the inner courtyard and light the spices for concentration and sleep. I don't think they will wake up for five hours."
"Well done." Cui Yan said dizzy. He knew very well that even if things were unfavorable, Xinpi and Zhu Lingsu would not have the slightest suspicion in the inner courtyard of the Cui family. At most, they would think that Cui Yan Virtue is indeed good.
It was night, Cui Lin left Cui's house through the secret passage, and prepared to go to contact Liu Bei's army in Qingzhou. Unfortunately, Zang Ba of Qingzhou had already rushed to the Bohai Sea at that time. There is no general in Qingzhou who can mobilize a thousand people without permission.
With Cui Lin¡¯s wisdom, he instantly saw something else under Zang Ba¡¯s undisguised behavior, and suddenly understood everything. He immediately rushed back to Qinghe overnight and it must be said that the mobility of an individual soldier was really terrifying. Especially when no expense is spared on horsepower.
It was already dawn when Cui Lin returned alone. After rushing to Cui's house, he told Cui Yan everything he saw and heard.
"You mean Zang Ba has invaded Bohai. How is this possible?" Cui Yan said in disbelief.
"I'm afraid, Liu Bei has traitors in Bohai, and even in the entire Jizhou. I'm afraid that the painful plot was done for all of us Hebei families and Yuan Shao to see." Cui Lin said with a solemn expression.
"If the Zhen family rebels, Jizhou will be gone. The Zhen family is spread all over Jizhou. This is true." Cui Yan smiled bitterly. If the Zhen family really rebelled, even if Yuan Shao won the front-on battlefield, he would still lose. .
"The problem is that all families have the value of rebellion, but the Zhen family does not have the meaning of rebellion. Does the Zhen family have legitimate sons? No, does it have a successful bastard? No." Cui Yan asked and answered. This is also the reason why Yuan Shao let Zhen go. For family reasons, a family that can't even solve the issue of heirs doesn't need to be watched at all.
The problem of heirs cannot be solved. Who started the rebellion, and the person in charge of the Zhen family is a woman. Didn¡¯t she clearly not participate in any power games and row around to watch the show the whole time?
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off As long as Yuan Shao is clear in his mind, he will definitely not use violent means to attack. At most, he will use marriage to see if he can tie the other party to his ship. After all, the Zhen family is rich.
As a result, the current situation is that the Zhen family has rebelled. The Zhen family, which has no sense of rebellion at all, has rebelled. This made Cui Yan extremely surprised. You must know that the Zhen family only needs to hang on the ground in Jizhou like this. No matter who takes control of Jizhou, they need to treat the Zhen family well. This is the family in charge of the food and clothing expenses of the head of Jizhou!
"Let's take action. There is probably only one possibility. The Zhen family is sure that Liu Bei will win." Cui Lin looked at Cui Yan expectantly and said.
"Let's take action. The Zhen family has a great cause and has no rebellious value. Our Cui family has been divided into two. It's time for someone to explore the way. Let's take action directly. All the clan elders will be under house arrest." Cui Yan was extremely calm. said.
To this extent, the family has already passed the bloody period of the entire family for a little benefit. The steady movement is what they pursue, and the Zhen family moves like this.
You must know that when Zhen Yi handed over the position of head of the family to the Zhang family, in addition to sending a signal to other families to withdraw from the family hegemony, it was also because the Zhang family valued the entire family extremely!
And the current situation is obvious that the Zhang family has not changed, so only the situation has changed, so Cui Yan is ready to take action without saying anything else.
At dawn the next day, the Cui family's private soldiers took over the entire city by changing defenses. As for Yuan Shaojun, Cui Yan sent him to collect the reward in the name of Xinpi and Zhu Ling.
There is money to receive, food to eat, and the Cui family to patrol the city defense. Previously, Xinpi andLing went to Cui's house to visit again. Wei Yan's army outside the city had retreated, and no one thought there was any problem. In this way, Cui Yan successfully took over the entire city, and then divided the well-fed and drunk Yuan Shao's army into the city. Placed under house arrest everywhere.
After doing this, Zhu Ling woke up dizzy. When he learned that Cui Yan had arranged the city defense and that no foreign enemies were coming, Zhu Ling just had some breakfast and lay down again, without any doubts about Cui Yan. .
When Xinpi woke up, Cui Yan woke up before using Zhu Ling. He was dizzy and arranged the city defense, then fell asleep and fooled Xinpi, whose head was about to split. Last night, in order to get these two guys drunk, Cui Yan Yan Ke is really a good drinker.
Xin Pi was also careless. He had no defense against Cui Yan in the first place. After learning that Zhu Ling was dizzy and ordered people to change defenses, he went to sleep. He knew that Zhu Ling was actually very reliable.
As a result, by the time Xu Shu and Wei Yan arrived, Cui Yan had completely taken over the entire Ganling. After seeing the Daxia Dragon Bird Sword, his originally majestic and indifferent face also had a touch of joy. The Cui family of Qinghe was right. Got it!
Naturally, in this situation, Xin Pi and Zhu Ling had no way to do anything. When they were confused, they were captured by Xu Shu and Wei Yan respectively, and then tied into twists. The Qinghe Administration Office was captured by Liu Beijun from then on. Later, relying on the Cui family's strong dominance in Qinghe, they quickly captured the entire Qinghe County.
At this time, it was less than four hours since Yuan Shao fell, and Jizhou, the most important city in Hebei Province, had gradually fallen into Liu Bei's hands in a planned way. If Yuan Shao was still alive, he would probably sigh and know that he had not lost unjustly.
After accepting the entire Qinghe, Xu Shu and Wei Yan immediately started to register on the spot. Although there were only two of them, because the news of Yuan Shao's death had been known to Cui Yan, no one in the entire Qinghe dared to fail under the control of the Cui family. Obeying the orders of Wei Yan and Xu Shu, the so-called general trend has been achieved, which can be seen from this. (To be continued)
