Three Kingdoms: My father-in-law is Lu Bu

Chapter 172 Strike While the Iron Is Hot
Ye Xiao came to Yuan Shu on horseback, waved his hand to make Yuan Shu's surrendered guard retreat, looked at him and smiled.

"I have heard of Mr. Yuan's name for a long time, and I have admired him for a long time. I finally got to see him today."

Yuan Shu snorted in displeasure. His family background made him look down on Ye Xiao, who came from a grassroots background.

"Ye Ziming! You won today. Although I am the leader of the defeated army, I am not something you can insult. My elder brother in Jizhou has already written to me to join forces. You should let me go quickly. I hope you will not be ignorant! "

Yuan Shu moved out Yuan Shao's banner, hoping to frighten Ye Xiao.

However, Ye Xiao couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and burst out laughing.

After a while, under Yuan Shu's utmost patience, Ye Xiao slowly took out a letter from his bosom.

"Yuan Gong, here is a document, I think you should be very interested, take a look."

Ye Xiao threw it directly at the opponent, a bad feeling rose in Yuan Shu's heart, he hurriedly opened the call to action and looked at it.

Ye Xiao next to him took the initiative to read it silently, for fear that Yuan Shu would not understand.

".My brother violated the way of heaven. I have violated the responsibility of being an elder brother and cannot teach well. I ask the emperor to punish me. However, Huainan is the place where the Yuan family's ancestors passed on their blessings. The special army went to quell the bandit chaos and let everyone know."

Yuan Shu finally read it, and understood that Yuan Shao had issued a document in order to preserve the reputation of the Yuan family, and announced to the world to separate the relationship, and finally said that he would send troops to take over Huainan.

"Stop talking!" Yuan Shu threw the letter to the ground and stepped on it several times.

Ye Xiao took out the small cloth bag with great interest, looked at Yuan Shu and said, "Okay, I won't talk about it, but since this jade seal was brought by your precious son to escape, it can't be fake, right? Answer this question well. , I won’t kill your son when I’m in a good mood.”

Yuan Shu saw tears in the eyes of the restrained Yuan Yao, and his momentum collapsed in an instant. When he talked about his son, he was just an old father.

"It's true, it's the piece that Sun Bofu used to exchange troops with me." After Yuan Shu finished speaking, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength, hunched over like an ordinary old man, without any vigor.

Ye Xiao nodded slightly, opened the cloth bag and held it in his hand, revealing a piece of square jade, which looked extremely crystal clear in the sunlight, Ye Xiao looked at it as if no one was around.

Everyone's eyes were focused on it. This is the emperor's seal, how can ordinary people see it.

Among the crowd, Chen Dao felt a little moved. This is the seal representing the emperor of the Han Dynasty. He thought that it would be great if he could take it back and give it to the emperor, so as to revive his prestige and sweep away the haze of the world.

However, Chen Dao didn't dare to act rashly. Ye Xiao was surrounded by elite soldiers. If he dared to raise a gun, he would probably be shot to the ground on the spot.

Moreover, Chen Dao had a strange feeling in his heart. He felt that Ye Xiao was different from Yuan Shu and his ilk, so his eyes fell on Ye Xiao, looking forward to the other party's next move.

After Ye Xiao finished reading it, he felt that this jade seal was just a relatively exquisite carved jade seal. I don't know how many princes entered the palace and died because of this thing, and he couldn't help but despise it in his heart.

"Everyone, here is the emperor's seal. I, Ye Xiao, have been favored by the emperor to guard Xuzhou and control the southeast with the rank of conquering the east general. Today, the puppet emperor Yuan Shu bows down. I will choose a day to return the emperor's seal, and give it back to me! "

As soon as Ye Xiao said this, Chen Dao felt a surge of heat in his heart, couldn't help but knelt down on one knee, and shouted loudly: "General Zhengdong is mighty!"

"General Zhengdong is mighty!" Thousands of Ye Xiaojun kneeled on the ground and cheered for Ye Xiao in unison.

Ye Xiao looked at Chen Dao, he didn't seem to have seen this guy before, but he didn't care about it in his heart, the other party gave him a wave of rhythm with his wit, it seemed that he was not mediocre.

"General Zhengdong is mighty!" Cheers slowly echoed in Shouchun City, including all the volunteers who were intimidated by Ye Xiaojun's might, and most of them had already surrendered.

Only Yuan Shu refused to accept it. When did he surrender?

"Ye Ziming! I would rather die than surrender! Don't talk nonsense!"

Ye Xiao put away the jade seal, handed it to Xu Fu behind him, and said with a smile, "Yuan Gong Gaoyi, how about this, so that you will not be alone on the road, how about I kill your son first, and then kill you?"

Yuan Shu was out of breath, and stared and shouted: "Ye Ziming, you don't keep your word! You said you would let my son go!"

Ye Xiao looked at Yuan Yao innocently, and said, "When did I promise to let your son go?"

Yuan Shu was speechless for a moment, he didn't know how to deal with himself at this moment, he wanted to commit suicide but was afraid that Ye Xiao would kill his son, he was very conflicted.

"Hahaha, well, don't worry, you two, I won't kill you, as long as you cooperate well, how about eating and drinking for you later?"

Suddenly Ye Xiao said his arrangement with a smile. Ye Xiao himself did not intend to kill the Yuan family and his son, and the two of them were worth living more.

Yuan Shu heaved a sigh of relief, and wanted to be tough, but Ye Xiao waved his hand and asked the sergeant to step forward and carry him down on his shoulders.

At this point Yuan Shujun withdrew from the Kyushu stage, Ye Xiao announced to the people present.

"Put up a notice that Shouchun, Donghai and even Liyang will be temporarily ruled by me, Ye Xiao. Let me say three things first, those who disturb the people will be killed! Those who loot will be killed! Those who conspire will be killed!"

Xu Fu took a quick note, wrote down the announcement on the spot, and handed it over to the clerks behind to copy and post it to various places in Huainan to inform the public.

The chaotic order has been alleviated, and the happiest thing is the people in the city. They don't care who the ruler is, as long as no one comes to their house to rob and rob.

Tens of thousands of surrendered soldiers and refugees from Runan outside the city were also arranged to enter the city to find a place to stay. The entire Shouchun City slowly recovered from the war like a giant beast, licking its wounds silently, waiting for recovery.

Yuan's father and son were escorted back to a side hall of the palace and settled down, and they were given the highest level of guard work in three steps and one post.

After a catastrophe, the palace was searched by the volunteer army and the mob who took advantage of the chaos, and it looked very dilapidated.

Ye Xiao brought the generals and Xu Fu back to Yuan Shu's palace, and when he saw the decent palace, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Although this Yuan Shu is a bit self-indulgent, the pseudo-emperor's palace is doing pretty well."

Ye Xiao sat at the top and patted the gold-plated chair.

Zhang Liao and Xu Fu ranked first, Wang An, Li Hu and several captains were among them.

"My lord, Yuan Shu is an old thief, I'm afraid it will be a disaster for a thousand years if he keeps it."

Wang An came out and said, originally according to his rank, the position of captain is not enough to be photographed among the generals, let alone speak.

This time Wang An and Li Hu performed extremely well in Shouchun, and Ye Xiao had already verbally promoted the two of them as generals, with the qualification to lead an army alone.

Ye Xiao and Xu Fu smiled slightly, out of so many people, they were probably the only ones who knew each other.

"Don't worry, everyone. I have summoned all the generals to come to Shouchun to discuss matters. After this war, all the powerful nobles in Shouchun City were killed or injured. Our top priority is to stabilize the situation in Huainan, Shouchun, and to be alert to the movements of Cao's army in Runan."

Zhang Liao was belatedly aware of Ye Xiao's arrangement, so he took the lead in saluting.

"My lord, don't worry, Shouchun will not be messed up with us."

Ye Xiao nodded, with a new thought in his mind, he raised his head and looked at the sky outside the door expectantly.
