Chapter 25: The head is used as a warning to the noble family! Cao Gong, help me!

But didn’t Prince Xu summon them all here just to ask for food?

This is the last sentence that came out.

No one can do it!

Among the crowd, Chen Qianyao's eyes moved slightly as she stared at Xu Beichen.

Seems to be thinking about Xu Beichen's intention.

Xu Beichen's attitude was always gentle, and he restrained his usual dominance on the battlefield.

"The prosperity of Jinzhou ultimately depends on you all."

"In every noble family, there are countless mouths to feed!"

"What's more, the wars in the north have been going on for years, and your families must be unable to bear it..."

Instead, he explained the difficulties faced by these families one by one.

"Besides, if I cut off your support, the people supported by the great families will probably starve to death on the streets!"

The Northern Liang cavalry will collect grain from the aristocratic families, and the aristocratic families will definitely collect grain from the people under their rule!

In the end it's still a vicious cycle.

For a while.

Everyone was stunned and speechless.

These are indeed what they want to say to Xu Beichen.

But Xu Beichen had already said everything, so what should they say?
Among the crowd, Feng Xuejin stroked his beard, as if he realized something.

But he was not in a hurry to express his opinion.

This Prince Xu is probably trying to play hard to get with them!
But Chen Qianyao's eyes lit up slightly, as if she was deeply touched by what Xu Beichen said.

Afterwards, she actually said to Xu Beichen first: "Your Majesty, although our Chen family is not the richest, there is nothing wrong with us doing our best to provide food and fodder for the army!"

Then, he added, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, my Chen family will never impose this burden on the people!"

Oh?
Hearing this, Xu Beichen was a little surprised.

He couldn't help but take a deep look at the young head of the Chen family. He didn't find any sign of deception on Chen Qianyao's pretty face!
Are there really people among the Jinzhou families who support the Northern Liang Cavalry?
Almost at the same time.

Feng Xuejin also spoke up immediately afterwards.

"Your Majesty, the same is true for my Feng family. Although our strength is small, we can still support the army!"

His words trailed off.

All the other noble families spoke up at once.

Each and every one of them seemed ready to support the Beiliang Cavalry despite numerous difficulties!

only.

Xu Beichen glanced at them and could see it.

Compared to Chen Qianyao, these people obviously have their own thoughts...

Precisely because Jinzhou has experienced wars for a long time, the aristocratic families in Jinzhou would stockpile more grain!

They all say that it is extremely difficult, but how much food to provide is another matter.

But he was not in a hurry.

Instead, he smiled and nodded to everyone: "Everyone is right!"

See this.

Feng Xuejin and the heads of the aristocratic families exchanged glances secretly.

Since Prince Xu wants to play hard to get, they might as well go with the flow!
It is estimated that the Beiliang Cavalry would not be willing to break off relations with them easily.

The result today will basically be that they all put out similar amounts of food and supplies, and on the surface everyone will be able to get by.

Both the host and the guests are delighted, best of both worlds!
"Report!"

But at this moment.

Suddenly, a loud reporting voice was heard outside the door.

Followed by.

A team of Beiliang cavalry soldiers came to the outside of the reception room.

The leader was none other than Wang Wu.

boom!
But before everyone here could react, Wang Wu threw something and smashed it into the reception room.

Gululu!
The thing rolled on the ground a few times.

Everyone's eyes subconsciously gathered over, but their faces changed drastically!

It was actually a bloody human head!
But when everyone saw the face of the head clearly, their breathing almost stopped.

Chu Kang, the person in charge of the Chu family in Jinzhou!
Xu Beichen did not invite the Chu family this time, but he actually sent someone to kill Chu Kang? !

Feng Xuejin's eyes flickered and an inexplicable look appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty, the Chu family is colluding with the enemy country, and the evidence is irrefutable!"

At this time, Wang Wu walked into the reception room step by step, holding a black iron sword.

Everyone then noticed that the weapons in the hands of the Beiliang Iron Cavalry soldiers who came with him were stained with blood!

Wang Wu came up to Xu Beichen and saluted respectfully.

"I have already beheaded the principal offender Chu Kang and displayed his head to the public!"

Collaborating with the enemy country!
All the family heads were terrified.

If we talk about colluding with the enemy country, which family among them had not done so when the Northern Mang occupied Jinzhou?

Even Chen Qianyao's face turned slightly pale.

Xu Beichen didn't care about these, he just looked at Wang Wu calmly.

"Confiscate the Chu family's property and report it to the court!" "Investigate the matter thoroughly and don't let any criminal go!"

The Beiliang Iron Cavalry had indeed found out that the Chu family was suspected of secretly communicating with the enemy.

But this so-called enemy army was not just the one that surrendered to Beimang before.

He has even been transferring his property in secret.

Moreover, it has also established connections with the Dayang court.

Who knows, by then he might become a thorn in the northern border placed by the imperial court!

Arrange these.

Xu Beichen suddenly stood up from his chair, his eyes sweeping over everyone present, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.

"Of course, we should not wrongly accuse any good person."

"Just because Chu Kang is guilty doesn't mean that everyone in the Chu family of Jinzhou is guilty..."

Listening to Xu Beichen's words, all the family heads felt a chill in their hearts!
Xu Beichen, so cruel!

Kill the chicken and the monkey!
The purpose of summoning all the major families in Jinzhou today is definitely not to ask for food.

But to show them.

The consequences of being unwilling to provide food and fodder!

All property will be confiscated and he will be expelled from Jinzhou!

From today onwards.

The five great families in Jinzhou will become four great families!

at this time.

Xu Beichen had already walked to the center of the hall with a smile on his face.

The smile is gentle.

"Everyone, since we have other important matters to attend to today, please postpone the discussion."

"But in another three to five days, my army will set out for the Northern Expedition!"

"I hope you can help me find a solution to the food and grass problem as soon as possible."

After saying that, he walked straight out.

He no longer paid attention to the anxious family heads in the conference room.

[You collect food and grass, and gain destiny value +70000]

[You shock the noble family, gain destiny value +3000]

After leaving the Zhao family, Xu Beichen glanced at the illusory scroll and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Just by confiscating the Chu family's property in Jinzhou City, he actually gained 70,000 destiny points in one go!
This was because he did not thoroughly search and confiscate the Chu family in Jinzhou in order to appease other noble families.

The major families in Jinzhou are truly wealthy!

Xu Beichen was not even in a hurry to perform the second-level blessing immediately.

Today's deterrence to the major families is enough.

Probably tomorrow at the latest.

The major families will offer food and supplies!
At that time, you will be able to earn a huge amount of destiny points.

After gathering this batch of food, fodder and military pay, the Beiliang Cavalry should set out for the Northern Expedition as soon as possible!
Actually.

The Beiliang cavalry had been ready long before today.

As soon as the food and fodder arrive, they will set out immediately.

He is determined to take Yumen Pass!
……

Early the next morning.

Xu Beichen was waiting for the ever-increasing destiny value after the food and grass from the major families arrived.

But suddenly noticed.

A line of text that was somewhat different from the other information popped up on the illusory scroll.

[You gather food and grass, and gain destiny value +9000]

[You raise... Life Points +25000]

[Your...Life value +9500]

[Your army discovered an incompletely measured burial complex, gaining +36250 Mandate]

Tombs?
what?
Xu Beichen was stunned.

But suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and his eyelids couldn't help but twitch a few times.

He subconsciously muttered, "Cao Cao has misled me!"

When he used Cao Cao's body to possess him, he seemed to have ordered the Northern Liang cavalry to search for the ancient tomb...

After all, this is Boss Cao’s main business!

But it actually directly added more than 36,000 destiny points?
even.

This is still a tomb complex that has not been fully measured...

Doesn't this mean that if the entire tomb complex is completely measured and excavated, more destiny points can be obtained?
Lord Cao helps me!
At this time.

There was a knock on the door.

Li Sisheng's voice also came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, General Wang has brought good news!"

　Regarding the listing, let me say that this book was first published on Qyue, and it was listed on Qyue with 50,000 words. This book has more than 50,000 words, and it’s time to list it. Because there are readers of Adian, I need to explain. I hope the criticism can be less severe, woo woo woo. Of course, as a small author, I am really hungry, and I hope that readers can support it.

　　——Thank you
