Normally at this time, Wangjiapu would be bustling with activity, but at this moment, the streets were deserted.
All the shops in the outer city are now closed, and patrolling guards can be seen everywhere on the streets.
The gate of Wangjiabao, which is usually closed, is now filled with people and horses.
Everyone's faces looked extremely nervous and cautious.
The atmosphere in the Changhong Hall located in the Earl of Wangjiabao's Mansion is particularly solemn.
Wang Shixun sat on a large black iron chair with simple carvings, his eyes closed.
The hall was now packed with people.
These people are the patriarchs, patriarchs, and chief ministers of Wangjiabao.
Normally, most of these people do not live in Wangjiapu.
Since it happened to be Nian Gen, all these people returned to Wangjiapu.
They manage the entire affairs of Wangjiapu and are all the leaders of Wangjiapu.
However, they were not chatting and laughing as usual, everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.
The hall was as silent as death.
"Master, everyone is here."
The old housekeeper reminded softly.
Wang Shixun opened his eyes slightly and sat upright.
He looked around at the people around him and clenched his fists tightly.
"Everyone, I believe you all know the situation of my Wang family. Since the beginning of the Saint Ancestor, my Wang family has experienced thousands of years of wind and frost in the Dragon Soul Continent and is still standing. During this period, it has faced disasters several times. I think this is not
This is the first time for my Wang family, and it is not the last time. An hour ago, I had ordered someone to bring my Wang family fort back to life.
Escorted out. The Wang family cannot be defeated by people of our generation, let alone Liu Xia. Therefore, we must make final preparations for the survival of the Wang family. If anyone wants to leave at this moment,
I, Wang Shixun, will never stop you. But as long as you leave this gate today, you will no longer be a member of the Wang family!"
Wang Shixun shouted loudly.
There was still silence in the hall, but no one stood up and left, not even hesitating.
All of them had firm expressions and were filled with righteous indignation.
"Master of the family, we once swore in the ancestral hall that we will fight for the glory of the Wang family in this life. Whatever arrangements the master of the family has, just ask."
At this moment, a big patriarch stood up and shouted.
"Yes, we will follow the family master to the death and ask the family master to give orders."
The people below shouted.
"Ahem."
Wang Shixun cleared his throat and nodded with satisfaction, his eyes filled with high morale.
"Everyone, it is not Liu Xia who wants to deal with us now, but the imperial court. With the strength of our Wang family, we are not strong enough to fight against the imperial court. In order to preserve the lifeline of my Wang family, I have already issued the order an hour ago.
.Now, what we have to do is to buy time for them. With Zhao Yong's speed, he will definitely mobilize an army within three days.
Attack our Wang Family Fort. When the time comes, our Wang Family may be in danger. This Wang Family Fort cannot be saved. However, we must protect the blood and property of our Wang Family and leave the northwest. As long as they are still alive, our Wang Family will not worry about being revitalized again.
, let alone revenge. Therefore, I decided to besiege Weiyang City early tomorrow morning to disrupt the enemy's plan."
Wang Shixun said loudly.
At that moment, many people in the hall were stunned.
"The head of the family is wise. If we besiege Weiyang City, there will be chaos in the northwest. I, the Wang family, can fish in troubled waters and send out everything that needs to be sent out. We have no objections."
The patriarchs looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Wang Shixun relaxed slightly and sat down on the chair.
Now, the Wang family has reached a dead end, and Wang Shixun knows very well that with Liu Xia's temper, he will definitely fight to the death this time.
Behind Liu Xia was the military power of the entire imperial court.
With the strength of Wangjiabao, there is no way to compete with Tianji Dynasty.
As for those northwest aristocratic families, Wang Shixun knew that he couldn't count on them at all.
If they don't take advantage of the situation, it's already good.
Only by letting them see that there is still hope for the rise of the Wang family, they might be able to help them because of their past friendship.
As for the Liang family, Wang Shixun has already sent out to ask for help. Only by messing up the northwest can they have a chance of survival.
Although relying on the strength of the Wang family to attack Weiyang City would be like hitting a stone with an egg, Wang Shixun had to do this for the future of the Wang family.
"Second order, all adult descendants of my Wang family, regardless of gender, must participate in the battle. Tonight, the Wang family army will gather in the Wang family fort. Everyone, please be prepared for the worst. Remember, all this is for the Wang family!"
Wang Shixun stood up and shouted.
"I am so devastated that I am willing to follow the family leader and destroy Weiyang City!"
At that moment, everyone in the hall stood up and shouted.
When Wang Shixun saw this, his deep eyes suddenly became sharp.
He raised his arms and shouted: "Peel down Weiyang City!"
——————————————————————————————————
In the early morning, Liu Xia opened the door.
The dry and cold air poured into the nasal cavity, which shocked Liu Xia.
Carrying Tianquan on his shoulders, Liu Xia stretched his muscles a little and then began his daily training in martial arts.
But after running only a few steps, he saw Fu Jianfei running over in a hurry, kneeling on the ground and saluting Liu Xia.
Liu Xia saw that his eyes were red and his expression was haggard. He had obviously stayed up all night.
"Master Fu, please get up quickly. What's wrong with you coming so early?"
Liu Xia asked.
Now that Fu Jianfei saw that Liu Xia was safe and sound, he still breathed a long sigh of relief. Although he didn't know what happened last night, he was certain that the Wang family's last plan had failed.
"Your Majesty, I have received the news. Starting from this morning, Wangjiabao dispersed a large number of servants and sent dozens of troops to their subordinates' farms."
"knew."
Liu Xia, you nodded thoughtfully, still guessing in your heart that now that things have happened, Wangjiabao will definitely prepare for the worst.
"What else is going on?"
"Back to your lord, it seems that none of the Wang family's shops in Weiyang City are open today. Our spies reported back that they seem to be making preparations. Some of them have already gathered at the city gate and are about to leave the city as soon as the city gate opens.
"
"It seems that they are about to jump over the wall. Master Fu, with Weiyang City's defense, what scale of attack can it withstand?"
Liu Xia asked curiously.
"The city wall in the northwest is still under repair, and the number of garrison troops is insufficient. If the opponent has 30,000 people and is well-equipped, they can capture Weiyang City within three hours."
Fu Jianfei returned and reported.
"Go find Zhao Yong, we have to prepare for the worst."
After saying that, Liu Xia put Tianquan into the Qiankun bag and walked towards the hall.
In a moment, Zhao Yong entered the hall. After saluting, he stood up and asked: "Your Majesty, what are your orders to Zhao Mo in such a hurry?"
Liu Xia looked at the sand table map in the northwest of the hall, turned around and said: "General Zhao, if you were Wang Shixun, what would you do now?"
"Naturally, we are strengthening our defenses and preparing to fight us to the death."
Zhao Yong said directly without thinking.
"Yes, they are fighting us to the death. However, I always feel that something is wrong. For a family like the Wang family, their first thought is to preserve their family. They are a family after all, and nothing is more important than this."
"The prince is saying that they will transfer some of their property and blood while we are mobilizing the army?"
"Yes, if they want to transfer their property and bloodline smoothly, what is the safest way?"
Liu Xia asked.
Zhao Yong was stunned for a moment, then clapped his thigh and said: "I see. What do you mean by the prince, that they will besiege Weiyang City?"
"Yes, the Wang family has been operating in the northwest for many years, so they will not be unaware of the strength of the northwest border guard army. With the strength of the Wang family, they cannot compete with us. As for the northwest family, from my inference, although they will prevent us from destroying the Wang family, they will not be able to compete with us.
They will not blatantly go against the imperial court. Therefore, knowing that they are in doom, the Wang family will definitely preserve their bloodline at all costs in order to make a comeback. Besieging Weiyang City is an excellent way."
Liu Xia said calmly.
"Your Majesty is wise. We all believe that the Wang family will defend Wangjia Fort. However, Wangjia Fort is just a stone's throw away from Weiyang City. Weiyang City is the capital of the three northwest provinces. Once Weiyang City is lost, the northwest will be in chaos. By then, the northwest will be in chaos.
Shi takes the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, so that the blood and property of the Wang family can be preserved. They are buying time."
Zhao Yong analyzed quickly.
"It is absolutely possible. I just heard what Mr. Fu said that Weiyang City's current defense capabilities may not be able to cope with this war. We have to take action first."
"But Your Majesty, our army has not arrived yet. If we attack Wangjiapu now, we will suffer heavy losses."
Zhao Yong was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly.
"If you don't go to Wangjiapu, go here!"
At that moment, Liu Xia stretched out his hand and pointed, and Zhao Yong saw the place name Qingshitan.
"Are we going to attack the Wang Army camp?"
"Yes, the Wang Family Fort has a solid wall and is guarded by the Wang Family Army. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, the Wang Family Army's camp should not be that powerful. Tell me, how long will it take you?"
Liu Xia raised her head and asked.
"Light the beacon now, and we should be able to gather 30,000 people by noon. Excluding the men and horses stationed at Wang's Fort and various properties, the Wang Family Army can only have 20,000 people in the military camp at most. We have a good chance of winning."
Zhao Yong said calmly.
"Very good, we can't be led by him, we must disrupt their plans first. Even if we fight, we can't drag the battlefield into Weiyang City. What will happen to the people here?"
Liu Xia said firmly.
"The general understands, the general will do it now."
After saying that, Zhao Yong turned around and left.
Liu Xia watched Zhao Yong leave and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
A slight oversight almost led to a catastrophe.
"Where is Fu Jianfei?"
Liu Xia shouted loudly.
"Wei Chen is here."
Fu Jianfei immediately entered the hall.
"You don't have to interfere with the attack on the Wang Family Fort. Your mission now is to find ways to block the northwest exit for me. You must not let anyone from the Wang family get out. Especially their property. You have to do it immediately, and hurry up!
"
When Fu Jianfei heard this, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "I obey my orders."
"Wang Shixun, Wang Shixun, this time, all old and new grudges will be settled together. I will make sure that not a single blade of grass grows in your Wang family!"
