Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 455 Looking north to the grassland and waiting for the wind to blow

"... After General Wang's banquet, the other families all showed embarrassment and were unwilling to comply, so the general sent someone to escort him back. However, my two brothers took the initiative to meet with the general, explained the situation at home, and were willing to do their best. Help us and provide manpower and material resources!”

In the lobby of the Zheng family's main residence, Zheng Dun and Zheng Zhi, who had participated in Wang Quan's banquet, were surrounded by many Zheng family members and slowly described the banquet at the border army camp, what happened inside, and what happened between Wang Quan and Wu Jie. What did each say.

During the banquet, as Wang Quan's request was raised, the young and middle-aged disciples of various aristocratic families all showed embarrassment and were unwilling to enter the trap. As a result, they were half-forced to see off the guests, and were half-forced and half-protected in every possible way. Send him back to Dai County.

But there are exceptions, such as the two brothers of the Zheng family.

Their original intention in the past was different from other families. The other families went there to find out what was going on and gain more choices and connections, but they had offended the new governor and had to seek other help.

With this in mind, they approached Wang Quan afterwards and expressed their willingness to help with all their strength.

"Your decision is right..."

After the two brothers narrated, an old man sitting in the first chair nodded slowly.

This old man is the oldest elder in the Zheng family, known as Zheng Taigong, and he is also Zheng Shi's uncle.

Zheng Shi, who got into trouble, and Zheng Lin, who had appeared at the luncheon, were also sitting in the hall at this time. They were surrounded by well-known powerful figures of the Zheng family. They looked at the two children and listened to their words. Everyone is nodding.

As soon as Zheng Taigong opened his mouth, everyone else's eyes immediately focused on him.

The old man coughed twice and continued: "Chen Zhi is the governor, and there is nothing wrong with him. Behind him are the servants and the Yang family. He is closely related to many ministers in the court. He is a person. In terms of it, he is better than Na Lu. Ou is a bit stronger, our Zheng family can't deal with this person, and we shouldn't, we just need to serve Chen Zhi just like we served Zheng Ou, but it backfired."

When Zheng Shi heard this, he immediately left his seat and came to the old man. Without saying a word, he fell to his knees with a plop, then bowed his head and said, "It's my fault. I was too impulsive and ruined the family affairs."

"You are at fault. You discussed such a big matter with a few close clan members." The old man shook his head with a sigh on his face, but then changed the subject, "But also, the situation at that time would have been different if it had been other times." People may not be able to make correct decisions. Even if you find an old man to advise you, the result will be hard to predict. Get up."

Zheng Shi stood up with a look of shame on his face.

Zheng Taigong added: "However, Chen Zhi is also dissatisfied with my Zheng family. I am afraid that he has long thought of finding a family to imitate the Tang family and beat them up. Otherwise, he would not be able to face everyone in front of the city gate. He scolds you, he wants to use the topic to his advantage, how can we, the Zheng family, just let him go?"

Zheng Lin on the side came out of the queue at this time. After saluting the Grand Duke, he said respectfully: "However, Chen Zhi is the Grand Administrator after all. If he intends to suppress the Zheng family, it is actually difficult to break free. But in my grandson's opinion, there is no need to really fight with the Grand Administrator." Confrontation is the Tang family. It was suppressed by the former Lu Taishou. It was damaged to some extent, but it did not damage the roots. In the final analysis, our family is large and has roots in Daijun. It has deep roots and luxuriant roots and has been passed down for a long time. In the end, it cannot be eradicated. Even if the Taishou The authority is very heavy, but after all, it only lasts for six years, and it means that it is an official position. Even if it is temporarily reduced for a few years, as long as you can teach your children with peace of mind, it will be revived again, and the family does not need to compete for a short time."

"It makes sense," Zheng Taigong nodded, but changed the subject, "But the situation is different now, because there is an opportunity for a general, and the next few years will be an opportunity. As an old man, he should seek stability. Let the family pass on the legacy without trouble, even if it is suppressed all the time, it should be tolerated. However, the current Youzhou governor Wang Jun has always had great ambitions and is not someone who is willing to be lonely, and Chen Zhi is not easily convinced."

He panted slightly and paused for a moment before continuing: "These two people have a background in fighting in Daijun. My Zheng family has been named and it is difficult to retreat. Once killed to scare the monkeys, the end may not be good. You all know Guangning now. It's the county's business. We must learn from past mistakes. I also knew the news over there, and I realized that Wang Jun was ruthless. Now that Wu Jie has come forward and contacted my Zheng family, he has the intention to kill Zheng. As a chess piece, he is scheming. He can't tolerate me waiting and not advancing. If we don't advance, Chen Zhi will not be polite and will offend the general. If we advance, there is still hope. Wu Jie has taken advantage of the border troops and me. Even Chen Zhi wants to take advantage of the Zheng family, and I, the Zheng family, can also take advantage of them!"

Upon hearing this, everyone understood what Taigong Zheng meant. Zheng Lin did not say any more, but respectfully stepped back and returned to the crowd.

Then, Zheng Taigong said again: "The current situation can be said to be very dangerous. Chen Zhi has the authority of the eunuch. With these days of prestige, if he suppresses my Zheng family, he will really be able to secure his seat. And the families of Daijun Even with the instigation of the border army Wang Quan, Chen Zhi may not be able to give in. This is because Chen Zhi occupies the title of prefect and can be divided and disintegrated. He is superior to us, but similarly, Wang Jun himself As the governor of the two states, with the title of Grand Sima, and with the actual status of a general, he is above Chen Zhi. It is just right to suppress Chen Zhi. Only by taking refuge can we follow the trend. This matter should be left to Zheng Dun and others. Responsible."

When the two brothers Zheng Dun and Zheng Zhi heard this, they hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Report to Grandpa, when we leave, Mr. Wu will also leave and return to Jixian County, and he will make things right. I will inform the general so that the general knows the heart of my Zheng family."

"That's good. Counting the time, he should have arrived in Ji County. In this way, the general's order should be issued soon."

………………

"The cold wind is coming, and the northern land is uneven."

On the city tower of Jixian County, General Wang Jun, who was dressed in military uniform, was looking towards the north. He looked at the endless land and let out a sigh.Immediately, a voice came from behind him: "General, you are a little premature. It is still summer and autumn has not come yet. The cold wind will not come until winter." The speaker , tall and wearing a military uniform.

This man is Wang Jun's nephew, named Wang Chang, and he is also one of Wang Jun's confidants. Wang Jun treats him like his own son.

"The cold wind I'm talking about is not the winter wind, but the cold wind on this grassland." Wang Jun shook his head and looked behind him, "Current, what's the news from the caravan?"

There was another person standing next to Wang Chang. It was Wang Jun's other nephew, Wang Jun, who was his mastermind and adviser.

"The three caravans sent out have all returned one after another," Wang Dian lowered his head and replied respectfully, "According to several team leaders, they have at most one chance to leave the fortress in the past three months. It will be dangerous if you go any further."

Wang Jun laughed and said lightly: "The Xianbei people are going to take action. I hope they can do what I want this time, and it will not be in vain for me to sacrifice the people of Guangning County to feed them these few prairie wolves!"

At this time, a gust of wind blew across the city, blowing Wang Jun's hair. With his long hair flying, he had the air of looking down on the world!

Wang Gan and Wang Chang looked at such a scene and couldn't help but be fascinated and secretly admired it.

In the hearts of these two nephews, their uncle can be said to be a hero in the world. He is completely different from the so-called famous people in the Central Plains who only value their fame. He is a truly capable man, capable general, and capable minister. Compared with those in the family Other elders are also in the same situation.

What is even more admirable is that such a person is actually a concubine of the family. As a concubine, he has received the title of Duke Boling. However, Wang Qi and others know very well that with his uncle's ability, even if he fails to obtain the title, he can still achieve great things. , but in that case, the relationship between the Taiyuan Wang family and him might not be so close.

Especially Wang Qian, he still clearly remembered that when he was first sent here by his family, he was still full of dissatisfaction. He felt that it would be difficult for a concubine to succeed in the title. If he came by himself, he was afraid that he would be squeezed out by his family and his future would be in doubt.

Before he came over, many brothers of the same generation came over to congratulate him, but judging by the tone of those people, the congratulations were fake and the jokes were real.

Therefore, at that time, he made up his mind to treat himself as a book boy, not saying a word, and just protecting himself.

But he didn't expect that he would soon be impressed by Wang Jun's courage. He knew that it was because of his narrow vision. Now, the brothers who ridiculed him were all envious. They even flattered him when they saw him. They were all thanks to Wang Jun.
At this time, Wang Jun said again: "I heard that Wu Jie has come back, so let's go back too. I want to ask him about his experience in Dai County."

The two nephews nodded and followed Wang Jun down the tower.

Walking in Ji County, there are many soldiers and merchants coming and going. It is prosperous and stable, giving people a different kind of tranquility.

When they returned to the general's mansion, Wu Jie was already waiting there.

"I heard that you gained a lot from this trip to Dai County." Looking at this subordinate, Wang Jun sat down on a chair and asked with a smile, "But it's hard for you. Let you reprimand him first. Chen Zhi, I asked you to change it to a commendation again, it must have made you embarrassed."

Wu Jie quickly expressed his position: "There is no way to say that it is difficult to do things for the general. The subordinates are afraid that they will fail to do a good job and let the general down."

"You, you, you," Wang Jun shook his head, and then said: "What have I gained from this trip? I received your letter halfway and released that Zheng Gong. However, this person's words and deeds were inappropriate. If I don't Punish him, and if Chen Zhi finds out about it afterwards, there may be hidden dangers."

"Please forgive me, General. I have made my own decisions." Wu Jie was the first to admit his guilt, and said in a sincere tone, "I saw a little bit of Chen Zhi's thoughts, so I made some arrangements and contacted General Wang Quan and Dai Jun. The aristocratic family has made an agreement, and I hope the general will forgive me!"

"Are you contacting the family without permission?" A cold light flashed in Wang Jun's eyes, and he frowned slightly, but it disappeared immediately and said with a smile: "I know your behavior as a person, and you are loyal. Once you have done something, it must be For the sake of my general, I might as well talk about it and let my general listen."

　Thanks to "Fauciful, Silly and Cute" and "Dangya 198" for their rewards!
