Chapter 162 Human selfishness, the demise of the Fanyang City family!

On the city wall, Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia stood side by side.

Looking at the Wuhuan cavalry outside the city kneeling down in surrender, they smiled at each other with a slight smile on their lips.

"What a hearty victory! If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, how could you believe that the Wuhuan cavalry, which had roamed the grasslands undefeated and suppressed the Xiongnu to the west, could be defeated so easily."

"From now on, Wuhuan will no longer be a major threat to China. One battle will decide the outcome. My lord is both wise and brave, and no one in the world can compare to him!"

Hearing Xi Zhicai's sigh, Guo Jia nodded subconsciously: "Every detail of this battle is within our calculations. It all depends on whether Brother Wenhe and General Zhang He can handle it smoothly. As long as the petty thieves in Fanyang City are eliminated, Gongsun Zan will be a toothless jackal who can be destroyed easily!"

Xi Zhicai looked towards the east of the city and saw a big fire. He smiled and said, "It looks like it has already started!"

In the east of the city, the Zhao family is the head of the Youzhou family.

It was also with the support of the Zhao family that Gongsun Zan was able to have smooth sailing in Youzhou over the years.

Ever since Ye Feng arrived in Youzhou, he has been restraining the aristocratic families and collecting their property. Naturally, the Zhao family, which was once the overlord, feels uncomfortable.

But under Ye Feng's intimidation, the Zhao family did not dare to take any action.

However, Gongsun Zan's secret information and the secret support of the Bo Ling Cui family made Zhao Yongde, the head of the Zhao family, see the possibility of tripping up Ye Feng.

Early in the morning, the news that 100,000 Wuhuan cavalrymen were besieging the city made people in the city panic, but Zhao Yongde was very excited because he knew that the opportunity was coming.

Zhao Mansion, main hall.

More than a dozen wealthy family heads who had already gathered together sat down separately.

When they saw Zhao Yongde appear, everyone came forward and asked, "Brother Zhao, why did you summon us here so early in the morning?"

"But has the opportunity you mentioned a few days ago come?"

Zhao Yongde raised his lips: "Of course!"

"This morning, 100,000 Wuhuan cavalrymen surrounded the city. At this critical moment, as citizens of the Han Dynasty, we naturally have the responsibility to defend our territory and resist the enemy."

"Everyone, follow me to the city gate and meet Duke Zhenbei. Send your family warriors and servants to help him!"

After these words were spoken, the other family heads looked at each other, with a hint of confusion in their eyes.

Didn’t you agree to plot against Ye Feng? Why are you helping him defend the city?

"Could it be that the city gate is in danger and can no longer be defended?"

Zhao Yongde shook his head: "I can't say it's as stable as Mount Tai, but at least I don't have to worry about it now."

"There's news coming from the city gate. Ye Feng went out of the city to meet the enemy. Together with the two battalions of cavalry that had been ambushed outside the city, they are now engaged in a fierce battle with 100,000 Wuhuan cavalry. It's unclear who will win!"

After these words came out, the family heads present were even more puzzled: "Brother Zhao, what does this mean?"

"Ye Feng has been plotting against us for days. Now he is fighting with Wuhuan. It is the right time for us to sit back and watch the joke. How can we help him?"

"This is inevitable"

"Didn't we agree to help General Gongsun of Dai County?"

"how"

Seeing the heads of the families were puzzled and hesitant, Zhao Yongde laughed and stroked his beard: "The hearts of you are known by heaven and earth, and the sun and the moon are clear to you!"

"To this day, if we continue to conceal the plan, we will underestimate the heads of the families."

"In fact, the 50,000 elite troops led by General Gongsun are already outside Fanyang City!"

"As long as we open the city gates, 50,000 troops will file in and instantly charge into the Zhenbei Mansion and kill Ye Feng. Then Fanyang and Youzhou can be secured."

"Our status and life will not be any different from before."

"Land, wealth, slaves, women, all belong to us, no one will take them away." "Even the wealth of the families that were scared by Ye Feng is also ours."

"This will be our world!!"

Many family heads have already guessed the intention of Zhao Yongde's words just now.

His eyes sparkled with excitement as he added excitedly, "So Brother Zhao volunteered to guard the city wall so that the city gates could be opened and General Gongsun could enter the city, thus defeating the enemy without a fight?"

Zhao Yongde laughed out loud: "Brother Liu is absolutely right!"

"Although Ye Feng is hateful, the generals and soldiers under his command are all our comrades. If possible, we should give them a chance."

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

"No wonder Brother Zhao hasn't given us any instructions during this period of time. It turns out that he has already made up his mind. He should have informed us earlier to save us from worrying!"

"No matter what, Youzhou and Fanyang City will be under our control again. How wonderful! How wonderful!"

"After tonight, Ye Feng will definitely die!"

"Ha ha!"

"Anyone who is against our family should be crushed to pieces!"

"Ha ha!!"

A loud and arrogant laugh sounded. Feeling the respectful gazes of the family heads, Zhao Yongde waved his hand majestically: "Now follow me to the city wall to meet Jia Xu!"

"go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, before he opened the door to the hall, he heard applause from outside: "Why did Patriarch Zhao bother to go up to the city wall in person?"

"Jia came here without asking for permission, please forgive me!"

"I wonder if this will ruin Patriarch Zhao's good deeds?"

A familiar voice appeared, and all the family heads present looked pale and looked at each other in bewilderment.

Jia Xu is outside?

What's the matter?

Who is Zhao Yongde on and what is he doing?
Zhao Yongde's mind worked the fastest, with a look of determination and sinister intent in his eyes. He rushed to the door and shouted, "Brother Wenhe, you've come at the right time. All the people gathered in this hall are those who have colluded with Gongsun Zan and are dissatisfied with Marshal Ye, the Duke of Zhenbei!"

"I was just about to have my confidant notify you to bring people here to capture them all at once, but I didn't expect you to be so well-informed!"

More than a dozen family heads in the hall glared at Zhao Yongde and cursed: "Damn it, you are the one who instigated this matter, and now that the truth has been exposed, you are pushing it onto us!"

"Master Jia, the mastermind of this matter is Zhao Yongde. We have never thought of betraying Duke Zhenbei. We were just being taken advantage of. Please understand!"

"Yes, this was done by Zhao Yongde. We don't know why he hosted the banquet. Please understand!"

The dog-eat-dog drama started instantly.

Jia Xu clapped his hands, without even looking at the ugly faces of these people, he smiled and shook his head, muttering to himself: "Human nature has always been selfish. When facing danger, the first person to step forward to block the bullet must be the person closest to you."

"The most important thing in the eyes of these noble families is their own wealth and glory, and their country always comes second."

"Now you understand why the lord wants to take action against these noble families, right?"

Zhang He, holding a spear and with a murderous look on his face, looked at Zhao Yongde and the others with disdain and nodded heavily: "If we don't get rid of these aristocratic gentry who are sucking the blood of the people, Youzhou will be difficult to stabilize, and the whole country will be difficult to stabilize!"

"kill!!"

With a loud shout, more than a thousand elite soldiers behind him charged forward one after another, killing Zhao Yongde and other family heads who kept begging for mercy.

Screams and pleas for mercy were heard, but these pleas did not make Jia Xu, Zhang He and the accompanying soldiers show any mercy.
