Because of the shock brought by Zhen Dao, Mr. Zhen was startled as soon as he entered the house. Literature bar wxba
The family is full of joy, and everyone's face is filled with happy smiles. Ever since the news came out that the Cavalry General intends to march north, except for the youngest daughter, who is young and does not know the sorrow of the world, everyone in the family has not looked gloomy and gloomy?
What happened today?
He hurriedly asked someone, and then he suddenly realized that he was happy at first, and then even more sad. He didn't even bother to take off Can Xue's remaining cloak, so he hurried to his son's room and barged in without knocking on the door. He went and asked: "Yi Xian, tell me the truth to my father, what is your plan?"
"Where did father start talking about this?" Zhen Dao asked the prefect in astonishment.
"Don't lie to me with this appearance!" Mr. Zhen waved his hand to signal the chasing servants to step back, looked directly at his son, and asked seriously: "Yixian, please tell me, how have you been treated by your father these years?"
"The kindness is as heavy as a mountain." Zhen Dao straightened his body and sat upright.
Mr. Zhen said again: "Although you are a concubine, are there any people in the whole family who treat you with contempt? Even your brothers, who are your direct descendants, are at most slightly rude in their speech, and they are not as rude as other aristocratic families. How about treating your concubine brother?"
"Brothers, friends, and brothers are respectful, and etiquette is perfect." The Zhen family has a large business, but the rules are indeed not as big as those of a truly famous family. If it weren't for the main wife, Zhang, who attaches great importance to rules, the family would be happy. Even with Zhang The Zhen family is very honest, and the Zhen family has never had any conflicts between brothers in other big families.
"In that case," Mr. Zhen asked sternly, with shocking words: "Then why do you want to kill them and make my family, the Zhen family, suffer eternal disaster?"
"Why did father say this?" Zhen Dao was startled.
"You still refuse to admit it?"
Master Zhen pointed at his son and shouted: "That day you said you wanted to go to Qingzhou to see the scenery, and I promised you. The world is in chaos. If a family like ours wants to continue smoking, it always needs to find a backer. You kill first and then show off. I just sent someone to deliver a letter to my family on the eastward boat, and I don’t care about you. It’s just that you want to use your sister as a promotion, so why did you say no to me as a father?”
He stumbled and sighed: "But what are you going to do now? Push everyone to death? Although Qingzhou has strong soldiers and horses, but the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and there is no reason to win in a thousand-mile expedition? Even if Qingzhou is bound to win, now Liu, Yu, and the Wang family are all determined to fight to the death, and they are worried that they have not killed one person to scare others. How can they care about the Zhen family if they want to set an example? It is right for you to cling to the backer and compete for the first place, but this opportunity is really... but you don't know what to do, You made it public as soon as you got home, are you, are you trying to piss me off to death?"
He didn't have time to take off his coat after entering the door. He was very excited when he spoke. As he stamped his feet and trembled, the remaining snow on his cloak fell rustlingly, giving him a very desolate look.
Zhen Dao stood up quickly, stroked his chest and beat his back, and repeatedly comforted: "Father, please calm down and listen to your son's explanation..."
"What else can be explained? That you just made an honest mistake? That you didn't know anything before you spoke? Huh!" Mr. Zhen snorted angrily: "You really think that I am too old and confused to see what you are doing. Is it a trick? You have been wandering around for ten years, don’t I know your character and methods?"
"Of course the son's stubbornness cannot be hidden from his father. However, the son does not mean to force the wife to have a baby, but to give the Zhen family a chance to choose."
"Opportunity? Is there still a choice now? Do you really think that Wang Clan is an incompetent person who didn't even notice such a big movement? He won't need tomorrow, he will get the news tonight. If I don't show anything tomorrow, I will
Just wait until the entire Zhen family is destroyed!"
As he spoke, Mr. Zhen spread his hands, fell down, and collapsed on the ground: "The only solution now is to donate as much money and food as possible to keep the Zhen family full and you, the rebellious son, until the Youzhou war."
The outcome is clear, and the Zhen family is probably empty of space, so why bother trying to curry favor with the hussar general?"
After being scolded to death, Zhen Dao laughed and asked slowly: "Father, does he think that his son's promotion of overseas interests is to impress people with wealth, so as to coerce you to make up your mind?"
Qian Liang and my little sister are using them as bargaining chips to show their favor to Qingzhou?"
"Well..." Mr. Zhen was slightly startled and subconsciously asked, "Isn't it?"
"Of course not." Zhen Dao replied calmly: "Qingzhou is not short of money. The three counties in the West have been working in the fields for two years and have accumulated mountains of grain. General Wang can easily exchange goods for it. It is also not a shortage of food. What is the point of donating money and grain?
Strange? As for the younger sister, her father doesn’t know. Although General Wang has a reputation as a romantic, he doesn’t take beauty too seriously. In the Mi Mansion of Gaotang, there are now so many beauties, all of whom General Wang is about to marry.
Married..."
"Although my little sister has national beauty, who of the two daughters of the Qiao family, after the famous Huang family in Jingxiang, the daughter of the Mi family who serves in the General's Mansion, and the tiger girl of Marquis Lu Wen are missing? In short, just relying on money and food
, Little sister, I, the Zhen family, am not conspicuous among the many powerful men. If I really want to serve Qingzhou, I must make extraordinary achievements."
Zhen Dao was not devaluing himself. In fact, when he met Wang Yu, he hinted that his sister was beautiful and wanted to be in a boudoir. The latter acted too plainly, which made him lose confidence and had to think of other ways to express his love to Wang Yu.
Yu showed his kindness.
"Wonderful feat? What is a marvelous feat?" Mr. Zhen didn't know what his son was thinking, but his heart skipped a beat when he heard it.
"The war is about to begin, what else can be called a miraculous achievement?" Zhen Dao looked solemn and said word by word: "It's nothing more than offering the city and the army!"
"This..." Mr. Zhen was so frightened that he almost jumped up.
"Father, think about it carefully. How can a mere rebel general from Wangmen be a match for the famous General Tiabiyu? My son has been walking in Qingzhou and has seen several hussar drills. The soldiers under Wangmen are at best
It’s similar to Qingzhou urban management, and Qingzhou urban management is just a civilian who has been trained for a few days.”
Zhen Dao sneered and said: "After the Wang Clan occupied Northern Hebei, how did they do anything constructive? Even if there was an eventuality, the Hussars returned without success and the Zhen family went to the Wang Clan, they could still occupy the area.
What's not cheap? And to seek refuge in Qingzhou... Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about the overseas gold and silver mountains, which is a wealth that even several generations can't earn!"
Master Zhen scolded for a while, and his anger had almost subsided. After listening to his son's analysis of the pros and cons, his mind suddenly became more vivid, but he still had concerns in his heart: "Having said that, what is the contribution of dedicating the city and the army?
Do you want to be able to do it immediately?"
"As long as the father is willing, the son has a plan available..." Zhen Dao came forward, and Mr. Zhen listened. After saying this, he thought for a moment, and his face suddenly became brighter. He nodded in approval and said: "The plan
It's a clever plan, but it will only hurt my son."
"As the son of the Zhen family, we naturally have to share the honor and disgrace with our family. For the future of the Zhen family and the future of my little sister, it is not a bad thing to endure some hardship. Please just act with peace of mind, father."
…
The night is deep and the snow has not stopped.
General Wei Rong and Wang Men were entertaining guests in the flower hall. It was said to be a banquet, but the atmosphere in the hall was not very good. It was more like a group of unlucky people gathering to drink.
Wang Men picked up the wine bottle and stared at the deep liquid for a while. Then he raised his neck and drank the wine in one gulp. He said with emotion: "In this life, you can never make a mistake. Once you make a mistake, you can't make a mistake."
It’s too late to turn back now.”
"Isn't that true? If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place?" Jiao Tieweng echoed in an angry voice.
"Stop talking about these depressing things." Yin Kai picked up the wine glass and put it down. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask: "Brother Wang, are we really going to attack the Zhen family tomorrow? They are a famous family in Zhongshan.
Wouldn't it be bad if we start this attack and cause the rabbit to die and the fox to be miserable, and wait for the Qingzhou Army to attack?"
"What should we do if we don't take action?" Jiang Qi snorted coldly and said: "Let his family keep promoting the benefits of Qingzhou? People in northern Hebei are already unstable, and if they mess with it again, won't it make things worse? They asked for this.
, you can’t blame others!”
Although he said it fiercely, Jiang Qi didn't have much murderous intent in him. With the catastrophe approaching, he had no time to be cruel to others. When he thought about how he had thought so hard and finally chose a dead end, he, like Wang Men, just wanted to be beaten.
After a few slaps on my face, my intestines almost turned green with regret.
After the Hebei War, these Hebei military generals who had taken refuge with Liu Yu were sent to the Second County of Northern Hebei and the Wangmen as companions. They showed neither the intention of re-employment nor the signs of suspicion.
Eat and wait to die.
When the news of the Northern Expedition spread, Liu Yu decided to fight to the death. While recruiting troops in Youzhou, he sent someone to summon Zhongshan and ordered the Wangmen to defend Zhongshan. If one wing was used to defend and the other to attack, the rebel generals might still have some hope, but Liu Yu
Although his attitude was very firm, his attitude was that of holding his head and being beaten, preparing for a protracted war.
The rebel generals had already suffered heavy losses at the hands of Wang Yu, and now their fighting spirit and morale were even lower. Even when the topic of confiscation of homes was brought up, they couldn't cheer up.
Seeing that another banquet was about to end in a dull way, a personal guard suddenly came out of the back hall and whispered something in Wangmen's ear. After hearing this, Wangmen's face suddenly turned gloomy and he laughed loudly.
: "Please, please come quickly!"
All the generals were astonished, and before the guard could leave, they all asked, "Brother Wang, what's the happy news? Let me tell you."
Wang Men twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Zhen Yi has kidnapped his son and came to ask for forgiveness."
"He knows what's going on." Jiao touched his chin and asked doubtfully, "How come you are so happy about such a trivial matter, Brother Wang?"
"Brother Jiao, aren't you asking questions knowingly?" Wang Men smiled but did not answer, and Yin Kai rushed to speak: "Although no one in northern Hebei has responded to Qingzhou, it was because of our strong pressure.
The powerful people are all waiting and watching. The Zhen family is a prominent family in Zhongshan. With his family being the first to do so, why worry about not being able to lead a group of people?"
"Da Sima's intention is to ask us to defend city by city to consume the energy of the Qingzhou army. To achieve success, we can't do it without the help of powerful families. The Zhen family first turned to Qingzhou and then turned to our army. It was not the best to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side.
Is it a good example? By the way, if you pay a thousand gold for a horse bone, you should personally go out to welcome it!"
As he said that, Wang Men stood up and went out to greet him. Looking at his rosy face, there was no trace of the frown on his face before.
