Chapter 622: All those on the list are captured! Ju Zong reports to the emperor that the Xianbei are
Xuchang
Shangshu Lingfu
Su Yu led Xu Chu and Zhou Buyi inside.
Looking across the entire Xuchang, the only ones who could ignore the magical damage from the Minister's Mansion were probably Su Yu and his followers.
"Wenruo! Have you compiled the lists of states that are urged to join the government? Let me see which idiots are on them!"
Su Yu shouted loudly.
Upon hearing this, Xun Yu's veins bulged.
But he still immediately had Zhuge Liang send the compiled list to Su Yu.
"Brother-in-law, the list is here."
Zhuge Liang said respectfully.
"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Kongming."
"Brother-in-law, try your best this year and see if your sister can take another maternity leave!"
Zhuge Liang's face immediately turned red.
Come to think of it, he's still not married!
Forget it, let's talk about getting married later.
It's more important to realize my life's ideals in the Minister's office first!
Again.
Never doubt the administrative efficiency of the Ministry of Personnel.
Fast, accurate, and ruthless are their guiding principles.
Su Yu took the list and nodded with satisfaction.
Those on the list are all considered big fish.
As for small fish and shrimp, they are not worthy of being dealt with by Commander Su.
"Tsk, how come Zhong Yu is on the list too?"
Upon seeing the large characters "Zhong Yu, Prefect of Xuzhou," a slight smile appeared on Su Yu's lips.
"Wenruo, lend me the servant again."
"If a son is not taught, it is the father's fault. How did this old man Zhong Yao teach his son?"
Su Yu said with a righteous and awe-inspiring air.
In reality, she had already set a price for Zhong Yu in her mind.
As everyone knows, Commander Su is always very easy to talk to.
Young people like Zhong Yu should be given more opportunities.
We can't just send him to the Minister's mansion for making one mistake, can we?
As long as Zhong Yao gives the word, Su Yu will definitely handle the matter impartially and without favoritism!
Of course, if Zhong Yao insisted on putting righteousness before family ties...
Su Yu would definitely follow his advice and imprison Zhong Yu in the Minister's Mansion, so that he would never see the sun outside again!
Apart from Zhong Yu.
The rest were mostly followers of Hua Xin and Ju Zong, as well as some former Han officials who were not doing so well.
The faction of Hua Xin and Ju Zong is easy to understand.
Since the boss, Hua Xin, personally added his own name to the list, his underlings naturally took the lead in charging forward.
As for those former officials of the Han dynasty who were not doing so well, they wanted to take the opportunity to profit and improve their status in Cao Cao's camp.
Unfortunately, their plan is going to fail.
Because everyone was urging Cao Cao to ascend to the position of duke.
The one who was truly ready to be promoted to a higher position was Cao Ang!
……
"You? You want to force Lord Sikong to become a traitor to the Han Dynasty?"
Within Xuchang City, all those listed on the list were captured by Lu Xun and his officers from the Court of Justice.
Apart from Ji and You provinces, the other provinces are also moving quickly.
In one fell swoop, all those with ill intentions were caught and brought to justice.
As for whether there was any accidental killing, that can be left to the Ministry of Personnel to decide.
Once Kun Xing is on the field, even the strongest iron giant will instantly become as docile as a mouse seeing a cat.

Upon learning that all his trusted confidants planted in the Central Plains had been arrested, Ju Zong felt as if he had been struck by lightning!
He angrily grabbed Sima Hui by the collar.
"Old man Sima, is this what you meant by 'absolutely foolproof'?"
"Damn it, how did a perfectly good list of people to be persuaded to take the throne turn into a death list?"
Sima Hui was breathing heavily.
He has been traveling between the various states in the Central Plains and Ji Province these days.
I was already sleep-deprived because of the long journey.
Now, with Ju Zong suddenly grabbing his collar, he felt as if he could hardly breathe.
Unfortunately, Ju Zong was like an angry bulldog and would not let Sima Hui off easily.
He not only grabbed Sima Hui by the collar himself, but also signaled to the guards beside him to hold Sima Hui down.
Hmm, you can't blame Ju Zong for being so cunning.
He was a lame man, so he moved slowly.
Sima Hui, that old man, also knows swordsmanship. What if he manages to break free? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?
"Release me!"
Sima Hui exerted tremendous effort and finally managed to revive Ju Zong's rationality.
"We've fallen into a trap! We've fallen into a trap!"
"Su Ziyi is catching a turtle in a jar!"
"But don't think that I have no way out."
"I still have a trump card up my sleeve, which I haven't used yet."
Sima Hui, panting, said to Ju Zong.
Ju Zong looked coldly at Sima Hui:
"True card?"
"What trump cards could you possibly have, someone who's barely clinging to life after Su Ziyi wiped out the Water Mirror Academy?"
Sima Hui ignored Ju Zong's sarcastic remarks and laughed:
"In your opinion, have I really not made any arrangements all these years of traveling around the country?"
"Now, immediately use your brother-in-law, the Grand Master of Ceremonies, to submit a memorial to the Minister of Works' office, reporting to Cao Mengde the news that the Xianbei are about to invade the south!"
"What!? The Xianbei?"
Ju Zong was suddenly startled.
To the north of the four prefectures of Hebei, there were three major foreign tribes: the Southern Xiongnu, the Wuhuan, and the Xianbei.
Among them, the Southern Xiongnu and Wuhuan had been dealt with by Cao Cao's camp after the Battle of Guandu and became cheap labor.
Only the Xianbei, who were the furthest away and had the strongest overall strength, escaped disaster.
Cao Cao's forces are clearly evident.
Although the Xianbei's fighting strength far surpassed that of other foreign tribes, it was still far behind the powerful military force of Cao Cao's camp.
Therefore, the Xianbei themselves dared not make any rash moves.
After the Battle of Guandu, they could only watch helplessly as their neighbors, the Southern Xiongnu and the Wuhuan, were wiped out by Cao Cao's camp.
"Old man Sima, isn't the current Xianbei Chanyu a young man who has only recently ascended to the throne?"
"Do you perhaps have a way to persuade him to go south?"
As Ju Shou's younger brother, Ju Zong also had some understanding of the situation on the Xianbei side.
The reason why the Xianbei grew so rapidly in those days was because of a Chanyu named Tanshihuai.
However, if an individual is too capable and dies suddenly, the internal divisions are likely to occur.
After Tan Shihuai's death, the Xianbei people remained in a state of isolation for a long period of time, without communicating with the outside world.
It's like the Hidden Mist Village in the Bloody Mist from the Naruto series.
After a period of civil war, the Xianbei were reborn from the ashes.
The new Chanyu was a young man named Kebineng.
Sima Hui laughed:
"The current Xianbei Chanyu is a man of great talent and ambition, and he also identifies with Han culture."
“After I went to the grassland, I was treated to a good hospitality by him and we became close friends despite our age difference.”
"If we rely solely on the strength of the Xianbei, we will naturally be unable to inflict serious damage on Cao Mengde."
"But if we add you, Ju Zong, wouldn't that solve the problem?"
"At that time, you should first pretend to be a loyal minister who has repented of his past mistakes."
"When Cao Cao clashes with Kebineng, we will lead the two provinces of Ji and You to defect, which will surely bring Cao Mengde to his death!"
"In any large-scale war, Cao Mengde always preferred to personally lead the expedition, with Su Ziyi serving as his military advisor."
"So you don't need to worry at all that these two won't come!"
Ju Zong hesitated and said:
"What if Su Ziyi sees through this plan and strikes us first?"
Sima Hui revealed an expression of absolute certainty:
"Ju Zong, your worries are completely unnecessary."
"Even Su Ziyi shouldn't turn against his colleagues during wartime, right?"
"As long as you hold out until the war begins, the scales of victory will surely tip in your favor!"
Fortunately, Su Yu was unaware of Sima Hui's thoughts at the moment, otherwise he would have had to offer a word of praise:
"Old man Shui Jing, you're absolutely right!"
“During war, it is indeed against the rules to lay a hand on a colleague.”
"But if Ju Zong were to accidentally die at the hands of the Xianbei, that would be quite reasonable, wouldn't it?"
