Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1115: Coward and restrain the general

"Why do you say this, sir?" Zhang Wei is old and has gained prestige in the family in recent years, even more than Zhang Yang.

Zhang Ying handed the information in his hand to his two sons.

When the two sons took a look, their expressions changed.

Zhang Gong said with some trembling: "It was Zhang Shuang who caused these troubles! What a troublemaker! He ruined the purity of my Zhang family!"

The Xuanjia Army went south, the Guanzhong Army was defeated, and all the aristocratic families with some foundation in Chang'an got the news.

Zhang Wei and Zhang Gong, who are directly related to the Zhang family, are naturally no exception. The two brothers discussed this for a while, and finally decided that the court would definitely give in and compromise, and would never dare to retaliate. They even sent people to Youzhou to reprimand. They may not even dare.

But they never dreamed that the pressure that should have been borne by the court suddenly fell on their own Zhang family!

Suddenly, the two of them understood why their father was so anxious.

"Now that you understand, hurry up and do what your father said!" Zhang Ying urged again, but he had regained some composure by this time.

But Zhang Gong said: "If I wait to gather the clansmen and count the blood, the spies of the imperial court will know immediately, the two kings are afraid that they are thinking about it, if it is self-defeating, wouldn't it be wronged?"

Zhang Wei also said: "When the situation is not that critical, maybe we shouldn't mess up our situation. Our Zhang family is not an ordinary family. Doesn't the court want to have some influence?"

"If the King of Donghai, the King of Guanghan, or even the King of Jin and the King of Changsha were still upholding the government, my father would not be so panicked. But now those two kings dare to threaten even the emperor for their own power!" Zhang responded to the two. The clan members know the character very well, "These two people are determined not to offend the Chen family. No matter how arrogant and domineering the Chen family is, they don't dare to really blame it. They will only blame Zhang Shuang in a roundabout way." !”

While they were still talking here, suddenly a servant came over and said that a eunuch came from the palace and wanted to see Zhang Ying and brought a message!
Upon hearing this, the Zhang family, father and son all had pale faces.

"There is action so soon!" Zhang Ying gritted his teeth and asked the servant: "But how many of my father and son are allowed to go over?"

The servant then said, "That man didn't say it so clearly. He just said that my lord, please come over and listen to what I have to say."

"In that case, you two should do as your father said. At this time of critical life and death, don't act like a woman. Go!" After giving instructions to his two sons, Zhang Ying walked to the main hall and saw Arriving at the eunuch who came to summon him.

He recognized this person, but he didn't have a close relationship with him. When he saw the other person's face, he couldn't help but guess his intentions.

"Mr. Zhang, don't think too much. The two kings let the slaves come here to reassure you. In this matter, we will only pursue the culprit and will not be involved."

After hearing this, Zhang Ying's originally worried heart finally calmed down. He had no intention of listening carefully to the eunuch's next words. He just knew in a daze that the two clan members did not intend to attack him, but only wanted to kill him. The clan brother was tied up and handed over to Youzhou for disposal.

As soon as they left, Zhang Ying suddenly realized that his clothes were soaked with sweat, covered in cold sweat.

Half an hour later, the two sons came back. They also heard some news and felt a little relieved. "It seems that those two kings are not scared out of their wits by the Youzhou Xuanjia and destroy the Great Wall." There was a hint of sadness in Zhang Gong's words.

Zhang Wei also sighed: "The Xuanjia Army is still too tyrannical. Not to mention the imperial court, even Shi Le, after hearing the news, they all retreated to Jizhou and did not dare to continue southward. The arrogant Huns were even wiped out. Such a powerful A strong military man, how can we be his opponent?"

Listening to the emotions of his two sons, Zhang Ying was distracted. He suddenly thought that just a few years ago, when he heard the name Chen Zhi, he only treated him as a junior. The conflict between him and his son Zhang Yang, He laughed it off and thought it could be used as a chess piece to deal with Chen Yong, so he made some plans.

"How could I have imagined that a junior who I didn't like at all would, in the blink of an eye, make me frightened by a random move, and even affect my life and fortune? It's hard to describe the changes in the world!"

After sighing with emotion, Zhang Ying was disheartened. How could he not see that the two clan members seemed to have a lot of concerns on the surface, so they gave preferential treatment, but Zhang Ying knew very well that this was only temporary.

"Don't take it lightly. The two kings arrested my Zhang clan members and sent them to Youzhou. For what reason? Not to calm down Chen Zhengbei's anger! It can be seen that in order not to anger the Xuanjia Army, those two people have completely ignored others. Well, if sacrificing the prisoners this time can’t calm Youzhou’s anger, then what are they going to do? I’m afraid they might have to go one step further and kidnap me, Chen’s old enemy, and send him there too!”

After listening to their father's words, Zhang Wei and Zhang Gong looked at each other. They meant to say that Zhang Ying was too pessimistic, but after thinking about it carefully, they felt that this was not unreasonable, and they became worried again.

At first, after receiving the eunuch's message, the father and son felt like they had survived the desperate situation, but now when they think about it, this is just a temporary guillotine hanging around their necks, and they don't know when it will fall again. The six Yun thieves all jumped out one after another. Thinking about the treatment of the two kings, they thought and felt angry.

"We still don't take our Zhang family seriously." In the end, Zhang Gong said bitterly, "We still have to continue counting the clansmen, but it's good to have time now to gradually transfer clansmen outside Guanzhong."

Zhang Weize said worriedly: "As time goes by, won't we still be discovered?"

"Don't worry," Zhang Gong laughed, "Do you think other families haven't done this? There are no big or small aristocratic families or clans in Chang'an or outside Chang'an who don't want to move some people outside. Since the Xuanjia Army sent troops, my few My colleagues have all said that their families are planning to have them leave Chang'an and go to Youzhou to find a stable place to stay!"

Zhang Gong is still young, and he often hangs out with a few fair-weather friends, but those who can interact with him must at least be children of wealthy families, so he has his own source of information.

Hearing this, Zhang Ying couldn't help but sigh: "Youzhou's soldiers are brave and no one dares to offend them. Youzhou has naturally become the first-class peaceful place in the world. It's a pity that there is a rift between my father and the Chen family. We Zhang The family cannot do this.”

When the Zhang brothers heard this, they couldn't help but feel sad, but they quickly cheered up and said: "Jiangzuo is as peaceful as ever, and King Langya is here to control it. Why don't we go back? It's better than relying on others here and being blamed everywhere!"

Zhang Ying nodded and said, "It's time to think about it."

So, Zhang and his son became busy next.

A few days later, their general of the same clan was tied up and escorted north. News spread along the way and was known to all the three religions.

These people all know that the two kings are cowardly.
