"Your Majesty, now many secret men of our army have been arrested in Jizhou, and it is hard to use them again." Li Yang, the Yamen and the Jizhou secret guards' voices are extremely indifferent, as if the losses of those secret guards have nothing to do with him.

"It's okay, you've done a good job." Liu Xie waved his hand and smiled.

"It's just a Bohai Sea, which is far from hurting Yuan Shao's vitality, and other cities are difficult to directly capture like the Bohai Sea." The secret guard commander said.

"Jizhou is now in a state of depression, and the people's hearts will be in chaos!" Liu Xie sneered: "Yuan Shao is digging his own grave, so I will add another fire to Yuan Shao."

The secret guard commander did not speak, but stood quietly aside and stood on standby.

Liu Xie thought for a moment and said, "Some key figures in Jizhou should have arranged people around him, right?"

The secret guard commander nodded and said, "In addition to Yuan Shao, Ju Su and a few people, including Yuan Shao's four sons, people have arranged personnel. You can do it at any time with the order of His Majesty."

"Others don't have to pay attention to it." Liu Xie groped his fingers and sneered: "I must disturb my heart first. Yuan Shao's fourth son, kill all those who can do it!"

"Here!" The secret guard leader gave a favor and turned around and left.

Two days later, in Yecheng, a terrifying assassination began in Yecheng.

Yuan Shao's youngest son Yuan Mai was cut off his head in his sleep. The third son Yuan Shang was suddenly assassinated on the way home. He had already repelled the assassin, but what was terrifying was that after everyone was repelling the assassin, a personal guard around Yuan Shang suddenly took action and shot through Yuan Shang's heart with a crossbow arrow. Although the personal guard was immediately killed by other personal guards, Yuan Shang was shot dead on the spot.

Although Yuan Xi was also assassinated because he was ordered to lead troops in the military camp, the soldiers in the army discovered it in time, and saved his life.

As for the eldest son, Yuan Tan, he was shot and killed by several Yuanjiazhuang people who suddenly rose up with crossbow arrows. After going through a lot of hardships, he escaped the heavy blockade of the court and returned to Jizhou. Unexpectedly, he was shot and killed in his own yard.

In one day, Yuan Shao's four sons, in the end, were only the second son Yuan Xi, who was least valued by Yuan Shao, survived by chance. For a moment, there was a panic in Yecheng.

In Yuan’s mansion, Yuan Shao sat in his position in a daze, and lost three beloved sons in one day. This was definitely the biggest blow to Yuan Shao in his life.

Under Yuan Shao's seat, Guo Tu, Shen Pei, Feng Ji, Xin Ping, Xin Pi, Qian Zhao, Murong Ping and other civil and military officials were silent. Although Yuan Shao was not as angry as before, everyone knew that Yuan Shao was more terrifying than ever before.

"Who can tell the orphan, why?" After a while, Yuan Shao's eyes slowly fell on everyone, his voice was hoarse, like an evil ghost in hell, and his whole body seemed to be full of hostility at this moment. His blood-filled eyes made everyone shudder.

"You guys, the court arranged a detailed work in my city, so..." Feng Ji said with a tough bullet.

"Secret work!" Yuan Shao's anger became even heavier when he heard this. He looked at these people in a stern manner and suddenly laughed: "Then Yuan Fu has been in the Yuan family for more than 40 years, but Xian Si is still a slight work?"

The murderer who killed Yuan Mai is still unknown, but Yuan Fu, who was one of the murderers who assassinated Yuan Tan and the main planner, is an old man from the Yuan family. Three generations in the family are servants of the Yuan family, and he was the one who grew up with Yuan Shao. Until now, Yuan Shao couldn't think of why Yuan Fu suddenly killed Yuan Tan, but things really happened.

In addition to feeling sad, Yuan Shao also had a thought in his mind: How many such people are there around him?

A pair of eyes looked at everyone around him, and everyone became very suspicious in his eyes.

"Check it out for me! How many such people are there in Yecheng? I want to pull them out one by one!" Yuan Shao looked at everyone in a row, roaring like a ghost.

"Lord! Hejian urgently reported!" A lieutenant rushed in and walked towards Yuan Shao.

"Clang~" Yuan Shao suddenly drew his sword and stared at the captain.

"Uh..." The captain looked at Yuan Shao in shock, froze in place, not daring to move.

"Lord..." Shen Pei looked at Yuan Shao worriedly. Yuan Shao was in a very wrong state at this time. He turned his head to look at the captain and said, "What's the matter?"

"Yes... Mr. Ju Su sent an urgent report. Please check it out." The captain trembledly held the envelope in his hand high and bowed.

Shen Pei looked at Yuan Shao, sighed, took the envelope, tore it open, and shook the letter paper inside.

"Lord, it's your letters that you have made are good." Shen Pei turned his head and looked at Yuan Shao, bowing.

Yuan Shao slowly put away his sword, but the captain was already scared and sweating profusely. He did not dare to stay any longer. He accused him of guilt and left in a hurry.

"What's the matter?" Yuan Shao reached out and took the letter and looked like it.

"Your Majesty thinks that vendors are related to the people's livelihood in Jizhou. Moreover, the court's attack was too urgent, which made our army unprepared. This method cannot be repeated. Now that we already know the other party's methods, we don't need to mobilize the people's livelihood in this way," Shen Pei bowed and said.

Guo Tu sneered: "This is a bad word. Even if it is as you said, the lord has put a large number of vendors in prison this time. These people will definitely resent the lord. If it is okay on weekdays, it can slowly restore the hearts of the people. But now the war with the court is about to go to the court. If these people are released, these people will be resentful and restrain our army everywhere. What if they are determined to provoke one thing, it will only lead to greater disaster."

"This..." Shen Pei hesitated when he heard this. What Guo Tu said was not without reason. If you let go of everyone at this time, it will make the already unstable people's hearts worse. One step is wrong, every step is wrong. Although Guo Tu's statement is a bit extreme, he can only make the mistake.

"Lord!" Guo Tu stepped forward and said, "This time, the vendors' wealth of these vendors has been confiscated. If they are acquitted, will they be repaid or not? If they are repaid, there will be many losses during the detention. Some soldiers secretly reach out to return them all, which will only damage the treasury. Now that our army is about to start a war, it is time to use money and food. Such losses will not be afforded. However, if they do not return and release these people, they will only make them even more resentful to the lord. As long as there is a chance, chaos will occur. According to me, it is better to...

Guo Tu didn't continue, but the meaning was already very obvious. He didn't do it or stop. Instead of worrying about the aftermath, it would be better to kill all these people. This will not only save trouble, but also add a lot of wealth to the treasury to fight against the court. Although in the long run, the people's hearts and livelihood will inevitably be damaged, the most urgent task at the moment is to face the aggressive pressure from the court, which is beneficial and harmless.

"Pub Ze, you..." Shen Pei looked at Guo Tu with horror. If this order is really continued, Jizhou will be a disaster!

Seeing that Yuan Shao had a look of intent, Shen Pei hurriedly said, "Lord, no, if this is true, it will make the people feel disappointed and everyone will be in danger. Before the court attacks, our Jizhou will be in chaos first!"

"This..." Yuan Shao frowned and hesitated.

"Lord, those who accomplish great things are not limited to minor matters!" Guo Tu stepped forward and said, "And among these people, there are also courts who have done it carefully. Don't forget the deaths of the three princes."

When Yuan Shao heard this, he showed a ruthless look on his face. His three sons were killed because of these people and must not be let go.

"Lord!" Seeing this, Shen Pei hurriedly said, "Even if you want to kill, the lord only needs to kill some big vendors. Those lords and barrages are closely related to people's livelihood. If they are killed, they will shake the people's hearts and are not conducive to our army. Moreover, these lords and barrages actually don't lose much property. Only half of the confiscated property is enough to return it. On the one hand, it can show the lord's temperament, and on the other hand, it can stabilize the people's hearts."

"What Zhengnan said is a bad thing. In my opinion, the court has done it carefully and often lurks among the peddlers. On the contrary, the big vendors, because their family business is here, dare not be enemies with their lords. In my opinion, these vendors should be killed, and these people are insignificant. Even if they are killed, they will not be enough to shake our Jizhou. On the contrary, the big vendors have a greater influence. If they want to be released, they should be released." Guo Tu bowed.

When Yuan Shao heard this, he thought of the court's careful work and hid among the thousands of peddlers and barracks. He felt very hatred in his heart. He nodded and said, "What the Lord said is good, I will implement it immediately!"
