The emperor arrived at Julu City, and the news that Jinggan's army surrounded Sun Mansion spread throughout Jizhou as quickly as possible. All the nobles who had a rebellious attitude turned their attention to the giant deer. In the national policy of resisting Dajing, the Sun family was at the forefront. They wanted to see how the emperor of Dajing would deal with this matter.
The Sun family's status among the Jizhou gentry is not very high, and the family power is not huge, but they are very active and often have national policies to resist Dajing. Obviously, the Sun family is just a person who was released by some big families. cannon fodder.
This was a test of Dajing and Zhang Xiu's scalp.
The reason why Sun dared to be so high-profile was because he felt that there were many big families behind him to support him. As long as Zhang Xiu dares to attack the Sun family, other noble clans will definitely respond to rescue the Sun family.
It's been three days.
It has been three days since Jingqian's army surrounded the entire Sun Mansion. Everyone in the Sun Mansion has been under house arrest for a long time, but they have not seen any action from the big families who support them. The only thing that has changed is that in the past few days in Julu City There are more and more unfamiliar faces inside.
More people are waiting and watching.
The eyes of all the Jizhou nobles were fixed on Julu City. For a time, Julu City became the focus of the entire Jizhou. At the same time, two imperial edicts were issued from Julu City: First, Zhang He, the commander of the capital of Jizhou, was ordered to lead 50,000 cavalry to stand guard on the north bank of the Yellow River; second, Jizhou was ordered to enter a first-level alert, and all soldiers and horses in Jizhou were not allowed to be mobilized without a clear order. .
Zhang He's troops moved south to the north bank of the Yellow River, and the entire Jizhou army was basically empty. Especially in the northern part of Jizhou, there are only 5,000 Jingqian troops available. The remaining soldiers and horses could not be mobilized without Zhang Xiu's clear will. Even if there were soldiers and horses nearby, they would not dare to mobilize as long as the news of Julu could not spread.
There seems to be a huge conspiracy brewing over Jizhou.
Suddenly, the entire Jizhou seemed to have been pressed on the pause button, it was very quiet, and the previously lively streets became deserted. This may be the calm before the storm. Everyone is waiting for the storm to come, and at the same time they are very curious about how big the storm will be.
There are still armed branches in the manors of the nobles who have not accepted Dajing's national policy. If these armed branches are united, they can gather at least 30,000 troops. If there is a general who can unified command, with the troops in Julu City The Sun family will attack from inside and outside, kill Zhang Xiu and then welcome Cao Pi. In this way, the noble generals will have a chance to make a comeback.
Among them, the two largest ones are the Cui family of Qinghe and the Li family of Zhaojun.
Both families resisted the implementation of Dajing's national policy, but their performance was very low-key and did not show a strong attitude to resist. They only encouraged and pushed the Sun family to the forefront. Now that Sun was surrounded, Li and Cui immediately started walking around to discuss decisions.
Li Mo, the head of the Li family, and Cui Lin, the head of the Cui family.
In the main hall of a small family.
Dozens of noble family heads were sitting quietly below, quietly waiting for the two people above to speak.
This is related to the survival of the family behind, and no one dares to speak casually.
Finally, Li Mo coughed and spoke first: "Everyone, everyone can see the current situation clearly. The emperor transferred Jizhou's troops to the south and left them in the north of Jizhou. The purpose was to lure us behind the Sun family. What happens next? Yes, please discuss the decision."
Cui Lin also spoke: "Although there are only 5,000 Jingqian troops in Julu City, the strength of Jingqian troops must be very clear in what they are doing, and the emperor's ability is comparable to that of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu. I think everyone still It’s better to be cautious.”
Cui Lin and Li Mo opened their mouths, as if they were full of persuasion.
It seems to ask everyone who is doing it to give up their resistance, give up their family land and surrender to Zhang Xiu.
Someone asked: "Cui Family Head, Li Family Head, according to the wishes of the two family heads, can't we just surrender obediently? He has his Jinggan Army, and we have our tens of thousands of troops. These tribes Each of our families spent a lot of money to arm Qu Ke, and they will definitely not lose to the Jingqian Army."
"Master Wang is right!"
One of them clapped his hands and said, "We Jizhou people are all bloody men. In order to destroy the foundation of our ancestors, we simply took this opportunity to kill Zhang Xiu. Please ask Emperor Cao Wei to go north and give us a clear sky in Jizhou."
"Yes, let's join forces to surprise him!"
"..."
Other family members responded one after another.
Cui Lin and Li Mo's eyes met, and a conspiratorial smile appeared on their lips.
Zhang Xiu's personal strength is very strong. Even if their soldiers and horses cooperate with the Sun family to break through Julu City, what will happen? The guards around the emperor can definitely protect him from Julu. Unless Zhang Xiu dies, all their schemes will not succeed. Of course, there is a possibility of success.
If Zhang Xiu is arrogant and underestimates the enemy, tens of thousands of them still have a slight chance.
Overall, the chances of winning are slim.
But they were unwilling to give up their ancestral family business so simply. Cui Lin and Li Mo had already made their own plans. If it was possible, they would first let other members of the noble clan take the lead. If it was possible, they would attack decisively. If there was no chance, they would give up decisively.
After all, if this matter fails, they will face the danger of annihilation.
Seeing the excitement among the people from other families, Li Mo and Cui Lin looked at each other. Cui Lin stood up and said: "Family heads! This world belongs to our noble clan. Zhang Xiu does not know the importance of it and fights against the noble clan of the world on his own. It is simply... The mantis' arm is like a chariot. Head of the Wang family! Head of the Wu family!" Cui Lin looked at the heads of the two most ferocious families who had just shouted.
The two middle-aged men looked at Cui Lin.
Cui Lin: "I heard that the eldest son of Wang Mansion, Wang Meng, and the eldest son of Wu Mansion, Wu Su, are both excellent generals in martial arts. How about letting them lead the army to attack Julu?"
The two were immediately overjoyed to be given the power of troops and horses, and hurriedly stood up and clasped their fists.
Li Mo stood up and said: "I, the Li family and the Cui family, don't have many tribes, but they have enough food and grass. You don't have to worry about the food and grass. I, the Li family, and the Cui family will provide it. Wang Meng will unify the tribes' middle tribes." , Wu Su, two generals will attack Julu tomorrow and night."
"good!"
The head of the Wang family was the first to respond: "Please go back and prepare and assemble as quickly as possible. When Julu is defeated, Zhang Xiu is killed, and the emperor is welcomed back to Jizhou. We are all heroes!"
Everyone responded.
After the show ended, everyone went back to prepare for the assembly. Li Mo and Cui Lin walked out of the door side by side and walked towards their carriage. At the same time, they discussed tomorrow's conquest and how to keep their families from being implicated after tomorrow's defeat.
The two of them were busy talking, but they didn't notice that there was a person standing in front of them.
