Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the servant quickly explained the whole story clearly, and highlighted the Wang family's losses...Basically, after this battle, the Wang family fell directly from a first-rate wealthy family to a third-rate wealthy family.
It was simply a fatal blow.
The Royal Patriarch's molars gnashed as he cursed the bandits thousands of times in his heart. He quickly transformed from a staunch conservative to a radical. He even proposed that the whole family, old and young, join the battle to form an army of 100,000 to fight the bandits until death. .
Hearing the initiative of the Royal Patriarch, the Bai Patriarch was frightened and quickly advised: "Calm down, Brother Wang, the more this time comes, the more calm you have to be!"
Looking at the royal patriarch who looked like he was going crazy, everyone felt sad. Especially the Yang family, which is also one of the three powerful families. Originally, the Yang family leader was the target of ridicule because of his defeat in the war and was unable to speak.
But...the Wang family's old nest is gone!
There is really no worst, only worse!
The Yang family only lost an army, but the Wang family lost an entire family...
Who would have thought that this group of thieves really had no scruples. They dared to attack even the Wang family... and even defeated the Wang family directly, distributed grain, gold and silver to the Wang family, and then left in style.
So what's their next step?
Do you want to attack the government? No, are these thieves really going to rebel?
The seriousness of this matter is almost beyond their understanding.
Everyone looked at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes. Chief Bai said solemnly: "Anyway, let's report it to the Governor first. Whether it is war or peace, the Governor will decide."
Seeing that the thieves were fearless and bold, Patriarch Bai's determined faction to fight against the thieves had turned into a hesitant faction.
"Can we still make peace now?" The royal family leader's eyes widened and he shouted angrily: "These bandits are so violent. Everyone, do we have to sit back and watch them become bigger and stronger? Shouldn't we work together to destroy them?"
Heaven's way is reincarnation. What Patriarch Bai said just now was said again by Patriarch Wang.
Everyone sighed and went to the government office to find Jiang Tuo and explained to him the current war situation.
"Now the bandits come and go without a trace. They successively wiped out the Li family, Zhang family, and Wang family in Longxi County. They also raided Wuwei, Xijun, and Zhangye, and also caused losses to the wealthy families there."
"I don't believe that thieves have so much energy!"
"Sir, this is the fact, what should we do now?"
As everyone watched, Jiang Tuo's expression gradually changed. He remained silent, with the corners of his mouth trembling slightly, as if he couldn't believe what was happening. He said slowly: "Everyone who doesn't care, please leave."
After the guards and maids in the hall left, Jiang Tuo stood up suddenly, pounded the table with both hands, and said angrily: "Why? Why did it turn into this!"
"You are all lying to me, ah! What did you promise to say at the beginning? That these bandits are not worth mentioning and will be wiped out soon! But what about now? Why are the bandits getting stronger and stronger!"
"In comparison, our tribe is like a group of cowardly and incompetent sheep with no sense of honor. They are simply smearing Longxi County! Smearing! Do you know?!"
The table made a thumping sound.
No one expected that Jiang Tuo's reaction... was even more intense than that of the royal family leader, as if these bandits had dug up Jiang Tuo's ancestral grave.
"Sir, our troops are working hard, but the thieves are too cunning!"
"Fart! They try their best to fart. They only know how to bully the timid people. Once they encounter powerful bandits, they surrender one after another! After so many years of training, they only learned how to make a living!"
Jiang Tuo cursed loudly and angrily said: "If this continues, there will be chaos in Longxi County and chaos in Liangzhou! How can I explain to the Han, how can I explain to the Prime Minister?!"
Everyone was stunned, and Patriarch Bai quickly said: "Yes, sir, we can definitely ask the Prime Minister for help. He can't see a fire in the backyard and remain indifferent, right?"
"The Prime Minister is leading the soldiers to resist the attacks of Cao Zhen, Sima Yi and others on the front line. How can you spare the troops? Do you want the Han Dynasty to be defeated? What is your intention?!"
Patriarch Bai was startled and quickly denied it.
Jiang Tuo scolded angrily, paused for a long time, and said coldly: "I will write to the Prime Minister and ask for their support! However, before the reinforcements arrive, I hope you can win a few battles!"
"This will boost morale and we won't lose face. Do you understand?"
"Yes, sir!"
