Waves at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 81
Wang Shu dropped his disguise as soon as he left the Qiang camp.

The Wang family also discovered this oasis deep in the desert because of their business cooperation with the Eastern Qiang people, and established a simple trading village here in the early years.

Now that the whole family is in catastrophe, this extremely rough stockade has become an excellent refuge for the Wang family who escaped by chance.

Wang Yun, the head of the family who was far away in the capital, carelessly did not make any advance arrangements for the whole family. Not only did Luoyang's main house include Wang Yun's eldest son Wang Gai, second son Wang Jing, several daughters and other members of the family. When all were arrested, and only a small number of clansmen escaped in their hometown Taiyuan and other places, a large amount of material reserves, money and food were confiscated...

The old housekeeper in Luoyang Mansion organized dead men to fight to the death, but managed to save the third son Wang Ding and escape.

But this Wang Ding was in a hurry, but he had no brains. After leaving Luoyang, he ran all the way to his hometown Taiyuan, and finally hid in the Longshan bunker in the southwest of Jinyang City. The Northern Army broke through...

As a century-old family, the Wang family in Taiyuan has many hidden castles and cottages hidden everywhere for emergencies. After all, the productivity of the Han Dynasty was low, and people’s ability to transform nature was still limited. Except for Jizhou and Yuzhou, there are still many wilderness areas in other places. However, as long as powerful clans are willing to contribute manpower and material resources, it is also very common to build more shelters.

However, due to lack of precautions, most of the core members of the clan were arrested. Naturally, these pampered and well-to-do sons of the gentry have few hard bones. After a short interrogation, they obediently confessed most of the shelters.

Driven by the greed of the eunuchs for land, gold, silver, money and food, Wang's hidden family businesses in Bingzhou were almost wiped out in just ten days of the month, leaving only three places that were far away, even Ubud, which was not in Bingzhou, survived.

In addition to the loss of hundreds of years of accumulation, the most difficult part of the entire Wang family is that the dragons have no leader!
The gentry in the Han Dynasty managed the family very rigorously, which could completely surpass the imperial court's management of the country. The patriarch had a huge binding force on the members of other clans, and the etiquette system of superiority and inferiority was also quite perfect.

But now the head of the family, Wang Yun, has been imprisoned suddenly. Since he is still young and healthy, he has not left any instructions, and his sons have also been arrested. There are not many people left in the entire Wang family. This is gone, the only remaining members of the clan are naturally at a loss without a backbone...

However, under such threat of genocide, Wang Shu, the son of Wang Yun's concubine, had the idea and the perfect opportunity to be in charge of the Taiyuan Wang family...

That's right, Wang Shu's origin can be seen from his name, he is the son of Wang Yun and the singer's concubine.

Since he was a child, he has not received much preferential treatment from the heirs of the family master, nor has he been recognized by his brothers and sisters. He is even often discriminated against by his relatives. Even the few powerful housekeepers in the mansion ignore him.

After his father, Wang Yun, moved to the capital, he took several of his children to live in Luoyang, leaving only Wang Shu to live alone in his hometown...

Wang Shu was very inferior when he was a child, and he didn't have many playmates like other brothers and sisters, and he was always taciturn.

After he became sensible, he also resisted, but the elders of the family naturally dealt with him badly. From then on, he understood that no one would sympathize with him. It is useless to be decadent, messing around, blaming himself for the wrong birth...

Only when you become truly strong can you change your situation and the views of these powerful people.

Wang Shu began to immerse himself in his studies. After the crown ceremony, he began to follow the steward to do business. Starting from the most difficult low-level position, he personally followed the caravan to the Western Regions and the desert. One of the main businessmen in the clan.

Because he was willing to endure hardships and travel with the team himself, Wang Shu was able to get acquainted with Ouyang Nagu, the leader of the Eastern Qiang people. At the same time, he discovered this oasis outside the border and in the desert. After the consent of his father Wang Yun, he established a business village next to the Qiang camp. So as to avoid this catastrophe!
It's ironic to say that the heirs and main heirs that the Wang family tried their best to protect were all arrested, while the concubine heirs like Wang Shu, who no one cares about, escaped.

Since God had this arrangement, Wang Shu naturally wouldn't waste it, he secretly decided to gradually become the head of the Wang family and save this family that was on the verge of extinction!
Now that this goal has been set, Wang Shu believes that in addition to integrating the remaining forces in the clan, getting rid of the few other surviving people who threaten the position of Patriarch is also a top priority.

So after getting news of another cousin Wang Qi's hiding place, he decisively decided to get rid of this powerful candidate for the head of the family!
After sending people to inquire secretly, Wang Shu confirmed that Wang Qi was hiding in the camp of Youxian King of the Southern Huns, and also learned that Yu Fuluo was about to go out on a business trip, so he arranged for people to go to Shangjun County Sheriff's Mansion to inform, and at the same time let his subordinates The caravan guards ambushed and assassinated Yuvro.

Wang Shu personally went to instigate the Eastern Qiang people, planned the Eastern Qiang people and the Southern Huns to launch a rebellion together, and killed these dogs to avenge the Wang clan.

Most of what Ouyang Nagu's subordinates saw was true, but a few key conclusions were inferred by the staff arranged by Wang Shu to cooperate with "reasonable guesses"...

In this way, Wang Shu believes that the Eastern Qiang people will no longer have the idea of ​​​​retiring from the world in peace!

It's a pity that Lu Bu, the leader of the rebel army in Wuyuan, was not persuaded, otherwise the situation in Bingzhou would be even more chaotic.

If he can kill a few dogs by then, he will be able to establish his prestige in the clan smoothly...

After the chaos in Bingzhou, he could selectively save some useful but not threatening tribesmen, and then hibernate far away, waiting for the overall situation to change.

Years of personal business experience, let Wang Shu understand that the powerful enemy Xianbei in the north will definitely continue to attack, and he does not believe that other factions in the imperial court will sit idly by the eunuch's actions...

----

Wang Shu led the crowd and brought a large amount of supplies into the Shangzhai that he supervised and built back then.

He brought these people and supplies to a village in Zhenlin County. This village was one of the last two hidden strongholds of the Wang family. Due to the high level of security, few people knew about it, so no one discovered it.

Wang Shu went there as the highest surviving position in the Wang clan and the closest blood relative. Naturally, he easily gained control of the village, and also got the support of a group of loyal house slaves and offshoots.

But he still didn't dare to live there, and just brought some useful manpower and materials to the Shangzhai outside the Han territory.

The reason why Wang Shu chose this place instead of Zhenlin's village was not because it was farther away.

The location of the Shangzhai in the deep desert outside the border is only one of the reasons. The more important reason is that apart from the subordinates who are now around him, only the father and the elder of the Wang family know about the Shangzhai. The Great Elder is dead, and my father will definitely not confess here, and he may even have forgotten about it...

"Dezhong, is there a proper arrangement for the spy at Lin Zhuang?"

Wang Shu walked into his big tent in the center of the Shangzhai, and asked his subordinate Wang Zhi who came in behind him.

Lin Zhuang is Wang's secret village in Zhenlin County. In order to hide that the people in the village call themselves Lin, Wang Shu intends to let it continue to use its residual heat, and then receive and contact the clansmen and servants who escaped arrest, but also send people Secretly hiding nearby and staring at it all the time, ready to be exposed there at any time.

"Patriarch, everything has been arranged properly, and it is worth selecting capable people to go."

Wang Zhi said with a smile on his face.

Although the Wang family was in great trouble, as Wang Shu's follower who had always been despised by everyone in the clan, Wang Zhi was even a little excited. It was because of this unexpected disaster that his master had the opportunity to control the Wang family. This time, the strength was greatly damaged. Anyway, the camel is bigger than the horse...

"Don't talk nonsense! Father is still suffering in prison, how can he be the head of the house!?"

Wang Shu pretended to be angry.

"It's worth knowing that I'm wrong, but if..., please make a plan early, young master."

Wang Zhi understands his master's pretending to be reserved. He has already seen what his master is thinking from Wang Shu's recent series of arrangements, so he deliberately joked to make him happy.

"Hey, this matter has not yet been settled. Clan brother Wang Ling and others also escaped, and no trace has been revealed so far..."

"Wang Yanyun is only the master's nephew, let alone young and inexperienced, the young master need not worry..."

"Well, let's not talk about this matter, we will discuss it after the contact person from the Nanzhai in Luliang Mountain returns. In a few days, you will go to Hedong in person, and I will entrust you with important matters."

When the two were discussing, Ouyang's ancient Chinese, which was slightly sarcastic and not standard, came from outside the tent:
"Old friend, I brought you good wine. I know you have been working hard for days, let's have a few drinks...!"
