Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1114 The only choice is to wrong the Zhang family first
After going around in a circle, the topic returned to the beginning.

Although the two clans accused the ministers and said that they were afraid of the power of the Xuanjia Army, they did not dare to say harsh words when it happened to them. They only dared to make fuss on the sidelines and did not dare to really pursue the responsibility.

Everyone present knew this very well, but no one was stupid enough to make it clear. They just cooperated and lowered their heads beside them, pretending to be scared and guilty. When the two clans announced that the meeting was over, they all As if he had been granted amnesty, he left in a hurry.

Compared with the safety of the small court in Guanzhong, what these ministers care about and pay more attention to is the situation of their own families. You must know that these ministers who followed the two kings into Guanzhong often have family roots not in Guanzhong, and even in Bingzhou and Youzhou. Those in Jizhou are directly affected by the Xuanjia Army, and those whose families are based in Sizhou will also have to worry about it in the future. Now that they have got the exact news, why not make some plans first?
On the other side, after sending away the ministers, the two kings also became sad.

"These ministers are unreliable. When they were given authority, they were eager to show their loyalty, but when they encountered such a crisis, they all thought about their own retreats." The King of Chu sighed, "All of them are just Claiming to be loyal is not trustworthy at all."

"Having said that, how can we maintain the operation of the court without them?" King Huainan comforted him, "At the moment, we still have to rely on them to withstand this storm, otherwise the news of the Xuanjia Army's attack on our army will spread. , has a greater impact than many previous incidents, and may shake the foundation!"

The King of Chu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Why don't I understand this truth? It's just that everything has pros and cons. For those ministers, they actually have a way out, and besides, these people value it more than the court. , there is no doubt that it is still my own family. Once the wind goes wrong, I will definitely betray you and me decisively!"

King Huainan also smiled bitterly: "This means that all the dynasties can surrender, but you and I can't."

"I probably know what Chen Zhengbei is thinking," King Chu said, suddenly lowering his voice, "General Zhengbei must think that you and I are the ones who killed the late emperor, and he wants to get rid of him quickly, so the emperor instead It may not be dangerous, but now, how can you and I avoid it?"

"Let's find a way to quell the war first." King Huainan brought the topic back.

King Chu opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, he just nodded.

However, in the next few days, detailed information on the battlefield was gradually passed on, and after summarizing, the original reason finally came to light.

"I didn't expect it to be because of the Zhang family! The Zhang family! What a Zhang family!"

Looking at what is written in the military intelligence battle report, how arrogant and domineering the Zhang family was in the military camp, and how he spoke rudely to the superior officers and generals, and slandered them behind their backs. Whenever the general gave in for the sake of the overall situation, this person would entangle a group of people. In private, he slandered the reputation of generals and shouted some inflammatory slogans.

"This guy is talking nonsense and doesn't know the overall situation. He ruined a good situation just for a moment of anger! He deserves death!" King Chu threw the battle report on the table, his face turned red with anger, and he felt like he had nowhere to vent.

The King of Huainan was also full of anger. After all, they endured the humiliation and did not care about face, just to keep the land and not give the Xuanjia Army a chance to attack. Unexpectedly, they were ruined by a junior. How could they relax their anger?

"He is not angry for a moment!" King Huainan sneered when he thought of the hatred, "The grievances between the Zhang family and Chen Zhengbei, and the conflict with the Chen family, have been going on for several years, not to mention Zhang Ying's son Zhang Yang took the initiative in Xuzhou To stir up trouble, let's say that Zhang Ying was fighting for Ma Zheng, and he often made things difficult for Chen Yong, so he caused some troubles, and finally forced Chen Yang to leave. Otherwise, how could we be so passive! Maybe Zhang had already harbored a grudge against Chen. , often preaching within the Zhang family that the children of the Zhang family have innate prejudices against the Chen family, which ultimately led to today's situation!" "So that's it!" King Chu's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Now that we know the culprit The culprit, in fact, this matter is easy to handle, but the son of the Zhang family is dead. It is really an advantage for him to die on the battlefield, but the son does not teach his father's fault, and his father is still a general. How can this be done? Now send an order to the army, the general People caught him, and that should..."

The King of Huainan reminded: "Zhang Ying has made suggestions for us before, and he seems to be very dedicated to the country. Behind him is the Zhang family of Jiangzuo. The Zhang family has great influence in Jiangnan and is also very powerful in the court. More importantly, King Langya is becoming more and more powerful in Jiangzuo. If Zhang Ying is captured, the Zhang family in Jiangzuo will have no choice but to seek refuge with King Langya, which may be self-defeating."

"This makes sense. Zhang Ying is not an ordinary person after all, so we can't just wait and see." King Chu nodded. He also understood the truth. "But the Zhang family cannot move. We just need to give him a warning or two, so that he can I know he is powerful, but the general named Zhang must be dealt with, but instead of killing him, he will be tied up and sent to Youzhou to make the Chen family fall!"

When King Huainan heard this, he couldn't help but frown and said, "If this is the case, I'm afraid the Zhang family will feel that their face has been damaged!"

"Face?" King Chu snorted coldly, "After such a disaster, when did they think about face? If we talk about face, the court has no face at all. However, the situation is stronger than others. The Chen family is tyrannical and invincible. How can they provoke it? It took several years of planning. Previously, Youzhou had been tightly guarded and kept silent, which was why people ignored the past. Now that they know the benefits of the Xuanjia Army, they must see through everything and leave nothing behind. Keep it secret! Sooner or later these shames will be put to rest!"

The King of Huainan was still waiting to say more, but he finally figured it out. Since he didn't want to fight, there was really only this way to go. As for the Zhang family's reaction, he could only wrong them first. After all, how can everything in this world be comprehensive and have the best of both worlds?
"After this incident, find some opportunities to compensate the Zhang family so that they will not be alienated from the court." King Chu also saw the hidden dangers and could only sigh and said, "I hope Zhang Ying can understand the general situation, otherwise, we will have to It was quite a struggle.”

………………

"It's a disaster!"

At the same time, in Zhang's Mansion in Chang'an, Zhang Ying also received news from the front line, and his face suddenly turned pale. Soon, his two sons, Zhang Wei and Zhang Gong, who had followed him into Guanzhong, rushed over.

"There are people like this in my Zhang family, and I am afraid that the family will be disrupted. You should prepare yourself. First, count all the family members in Chang'an. If there is any trouble, take them away immediately. As a father, I will delay the time for you! "

But he immediately prepared for the worst.

But these sudden words frightened the two sons to death.
