The troops sent to Chang'an this time were at the invitation of the Guanlongmen clan. In fact, the clan members had different opinions.
The head of the family, the samurai, thought this was a good opportunity to raise the lintel a little higher, so in addition to the private soldiers he raised, he also spent huge sums of money to recruit thousands of idle men from the clan and the village, making up a total of 8,000 people.
.
Although they are all a mob, many of the soldiers are even over fifty years old and very old and weak, but at any rate, the number of people is here, and the black clouds continue for several miles during the march. They look quite impressive, as long as they don't use real swords and guns.
When it comes to fighting, you can still bluff people.
Changsun Wuji even issued a letter to reward him...
However, Wu Yuanzhong's father, Samurai Yi, believed that troops should not be sent. The Wenshui and Wu family relied on funding Emperor Gaozu's army to build the country, and it was natural to be loyal to the imperial court Zhengshuo. At present, although the name of the Guanlong clan is "military admonishment", it has nothing to do with treason.
It’s okay if you are afraid of your own safety and can’t send troops to help the Prince of the East Palace. But if you send troops in response to Changsun Wuji, wouldn’t you become a traitor and a traitor?
But the samurai insisted on going his own way, and united with many clan veterans to suppress samurai Yi, forcing him to agree, and then there was this fierce clan dispatch...
Although the Wenshui Wu family rose to prominence because of the warrior Yu, the head of the family was his eldest brother, the warrior. Moreover, warrior Yu died of illness as early as the ninth year of Zhenguan. The heirs were unworthy and incompetent. That branch was almost in ruins, relying entirely on his uncles and brothers.
We can barely make ends meet with their help.
Later, Wu Meiniang was given to Fang Jun by His Majesty. Although she was a concubine, she was extremely favored by Fang Jun. Even Fang Xuanling took a high look at her and entrusted her with all the family's properties, making her status in the Fang family second only to Gaoyang.
Under the princess, the power is even greater than that.
Later, Fang Jun's navy attacked Annan, and it is said that he occupied several ports and made a lot of money from trading with the Annan people. Wu Meiniang then sent several of her brothers and their whole family to Annan, which made the family very unhappy.
.What a bunch of white-eyed wolves, now relying on a powerful man like Fang Jun, only enjoying the blessings of his brother, but completely ignoring the elders of the clan, it is really too much...
But even so, the marriage relationship between the Wenshui Wu family and the Fang family is true. Although Wu Meiniang has never protected her mother's family, those outside do not know what is going on. As long as they use Fang Jun's banner, almost anything can be done.
The sign of "Fang family in-laws" is money and power.
Therefore, in Wu Yuanzhong's view, even if he did not consider the reasons for Zhengshuo of the imperial court, just because Fang Jun was standing in the East Palace, the Wenshui and Wu clan were not suitable to send troops to help Guanlong. The uncle warrior would not help his relatives but instead helped
It is really inappropriate to focus on Guanlong.
However, as the head of the family, the uncle has a strong reputation in the clan and no one can compete with him. Although he accepted Wu Yuanzhong to be the commander of this motley army, he still sent his grandson Wu Xixuan as the deputy general to supervise him. This made Wu Yuanzhong particularly uncomfortable.
dissatisfied……
Moreover, Wu Xixuan, the eldest son of the eldest son, was very ambitious and ambitious, but in fact he had no ability at all and was arrogant. Even in the army, he had to drink and eat constantly every day. General Ji turned a blind eye and had to find a trick to warm the bed.
Not a son of man.
…
Wu Xixuan was eating meat and drinking wine. He looked askance at Wu Yuanzhong's serious look and said with a smile: "Uncle San still can't understand what grandfather meant? Haha, they say Uncle San is the most outstanding member of our Wenshui and Wu clans."
My son, but my nephew seems to be nothing more than that."
Wu Yuanzhong was impatient to argue with this good-for-nothing playboy, shook his head, and said slowly: "Fang Jun no longer wants to see our Wenshui and Wu family, but the marriage relationship is real. As long as Mei Niang continues to be favored, our family will
The benefits are endless. But now, why are you helping outsiders to deal with your own relatives? Furthermore, now all the clans in the world are raising troops to help Guanlong. Those clans have hundreds of years of experience, and they often have thousands of elite soldiers and countless grain and baggage.
Even if Guanlong wins afterwards, what benefit will we get from Wenshui and Wu clan being inconspicuous in the middle? My uncle made a mistake in sending troops this time."
If Guanlong wins, the weak Wenshui Wu family will not get any benefits at all, and will suffer heavy losses if war comes; if Donggong wins, the Wenshui Wu family, which is not favored by Fang Jun, will have no place to stand...
...It was a loss no matter what, but my uncle was deceived by the big cake drawn by Changsun Wuji. He really thought that if Guanlong's "military remonstrance" was successful, the Wenshui and Wu clan would become a wealthy family on par with the Guanzhong clan?
How stupid...
Wu Xixuan's ears were full of wine and he felt dissatisfied when he heard the words. He said unhappily with the strength of his wine: "The third uncle's words are nice, but who in the clan doesn't know what the third uncle is thinking? Don't you just hope that the second house boy can promote you?
Did you enter the Sixth Guard or the Sixteenth Guards of the East Palace? Haha, you are so naive!"
He breathed out the smell of alcohol, pointed at his third uncle with his finger, and cursed his aunt with drunken eyes: "Meiniang, that girl is just a white-eyed wolf, and she is cruel! Not to mention you, even those of hers
So what if they are brothers? It is said that they are buying properties in Annan and settling them down, but have you received half of the family letters from brothers Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang in the past few years? People outside say that they were killed by bandits in Annan.
I think this matter is probably not a rumor. As for the bandits...hehe, the whole of Annan is under the control of the Navy. Liu Rengui is like the Supreme Emperor in Annan. That bandit dares to harm Fang Er's relatives? 80% of it is Mei.
My mother succeeded..."
Although the Wenshui Wu family rose to prominence due to the warrior Yu, the warrior Yu died of illness as early as the ninth year of Zhenguan. After his death, the two sons left by his original wife, Wu Yuanqing, how Wu Yuanshuang abused his wife Yang and her several
This daughter, it was clear to everyone in the clan, she really had no kinship with her brother and sister.
Although some people in the clan were aggrieved by this, no one intervened.
Now Wu Meiniang has become Fang Jun's concubine. Although she has no title, her status is not low. Liu Rengui was selected by Fang Jun and entrusted with the important task. If Wu Meiniang asked him to help deal with her brother who had no family ties, how could Liu Rengui refuse?
?
Wu Yuanzhong frowned and said nothing.
This matter has been circulated among the clan for a long time. In fact, Wu Yuanqing's family has not heard anything since they went to Annan. It is really unreasonable. Logically speaking, no matter how good or bad they are, they have to send a few family letters to the clan to describe the current situation, right? However, it is completely
No, this family seems to have disappeared out of thin air, which inevitably leads to various speculations.
Wu Xixuan kept chattering to himself, with a look of disdain on his face: "My grandfather naturally knows your opinion, third uncle, but he said that your calculation is wrong. Our Wenshui and Wu clan are indeed not a wealthy family, and our strength is limited.
If Long wins, we won't get much benefit. Once the East Palace wins, we will not be human inside and out... But the question is, is it possible for the East Palace to win? Absolutely impossible! As long as the East Palace falls, Fang Jun will inevitably die brutally, and his wife and concubines will be killed.
Children will not be spared, so what use are your calculations? The reason we are sending troops now is not to seek any benefits from Guan Long, but to draw a clear line with Fang Jun. After the war, no one will liquidate us.
."
Wu Yuanzhong scoffed at this. It would be fine if he did not think that the East Palace had the ability to reverse the situation at the beginning of the Guanlong uprising. After all, at that time, Guanlong was making a fierce and aggressive attack and had an overall advantage. The East Palace could overturn at any time.
However, to this day, the East Palace has resisted Guan Long's offensive again and again. Especially after Fang Jun returned to the court from the Western Regions, the balance of strength between the two sides has already undergone earth-shaking changes. From the victory of the Youtun Guard, Guan Long's ten
It was immediately obvious that there were hundreds of thousands of troops but they were helpless.
Not to mention that the British army garrisoned at Tongguan was watching with eager eyes... The situation was no longer what it used to be.
Wu Xixuan was about to say more, but suddenly he stared at the wine glass on the table in front of him with wide eyes. The wine in the glass had ripples in circles, from light to large, and then, the ground beneath his feet seemed to be shaking slightly.
Wu Yuanzhong also felt a tremor like an earth dragon turning over, and he felt strange in his heart. However, he had led troops and fought in battles. Unlike Wu Xixuan, a playboy who knew nothing about it, he suddenly reacted and shouted.
Jumping up: "Enemy attack!"
This is the tremor that only occurs when countless horse hooves trample the ground at the same time when the cavalry charges!
Wu Yuanzhong grabbed the bag next to him with one hand and put it on his head. With the other hand, he picked up the horizontal knife placed on the bedside and rushed out of the tent in one stride.
Outside, the entire military camp began to panic. A roar like rolling thunder rolled in from far away, and countless soldiers were scurrying around like headless flies in the camp.
Wu Yuanzhong didn't have time to think about why the scouts didn't warn them in advance. He drew out his horizontal sword and chopped down several random soldiers, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Line up to meet the enemy, and those who mess up will be killed!"
