Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 229 The storm is coming
Zhang Sui left his wife's study and immediately went to the courtyard of Zhen's troops with his sword to find those troops.

Although the courtyard of the troops is still arranged in the same way.

But, all the faces have been changed.

The number of people is also much greater than before.

When Zhang Sui was here, the Zhen family had about two hundred soldiers.

And now, there are more than 300 people.

Although Zhang Sui met these people for the first time, these Zhen family followers already knew Zhang Sui's identity yesterday.

Seeing Zhang Sui coming in, without waiting for him to draw his wife's sword, these troops quickly gathered together, looking at Zhang Sui eagerly, and said excitedly, "Master!"

Zhang Sui was a little dazed.

From these followers, Zhang Sui seemed to see the days more than a year ago when he traveled through time and became a follower of the Zhen family.

However, he did not have too many memories.

I borrowed thirty-five sets of clothes from this group of soldiers.

Afterwards, Zhang Sui divided them into two shifts, the day shift and the night shift, with 150 people in each shift.

Zhang Sui knew the layout of the Zhen family mansion very well.

When he was still here last year, in order to deal with the refugees and Qu Yi, he drew a layout map and arranged patrols with his troops.

This time, Zhang Sui directly drew a layout and deployed three hundred soldiers.

After doing all this, he found the housekeeper and mobilized a hundred male servants in the mansion, and arranged them at the main door and back door of the Zhen family.

Eighty people were deployed at the gate, all hiding on both sides of the entrance.

He also asked the butler to arrange weapons for them.

All of them are long-handled weapons such as spears and lances.

Zhang Sui went to wake up Zhen Hao, Huang Han and others.

These people actually all got up.

However, they all stayed with the maids who served them last night and were reluctant to leave.

Zhang Sui called them together and distributed a set of military uniforms to each of them.

After urgently asking the kitchen for some dry food, Zhang Sui ordered Zhen Hao, Huang Han and others to immediately change into the clothes they wore yesterday when they returned to Wuji County. Zhang Sui personally took the lead and took Zhen Hao, Huang Han and others to leave the Zhen family, riding their horses openly on the streets of Wuji County and heading towards the south of the city.

The crowd was buzzing.

Some people followed along the way.

Zhang Sui and his companions walked about five miles south of the city and confirmed that no one was following them. Then they asked everyone to change into their uniforms and pack up their original clothes and weapons.

Afterwards, he asked Zhen Hao to take four people and go straight to Jingjing County to ask Zhang He to transfer the 500 cavalrymen under Zhen Hao's command.

The reason for applying is also simple.

It was Zhang Sui who was reminded by Wang Hao, the commander of Wuji County, that there was going to be unrest in Wuji County and that there were about four to five thousand rebels.

Zhang He was originally specially arranged by Deputy Governor Tian Feng and was a member of the Jizhou faction.

Before this, Deputy Driver Tian Feng had specifically reminded him of this.

Zhang Sui believed that Zhang He would agree.

Zhang Sui and others did not leave either.

After waiting there for a day and two nights, they saw Zhen Hao arriving with his cavalry.

Zhang He indeed agreed.

However, the 500 people under Zhen Hao were not released.

Instead, he released all of Zhang Sui's 1,000 cavalrymen.

In addition, Zhao Yun also brought dozens of powerful men with him.

Zhang Sui, Zhao Yun, Zhen Hao, Huang Han and others made a simple deployment.

A thousand cavalrymen, including Zhen Hao and Huang Han, all retreated three miles and hid in a small woods.

Zhang Sui would arrange for the Zhen family to find a way to deliver their dry food.

Zhang Sui, Zhao Yun and others changed into the clothes of Zhen family's soldiers, a total of 35 people, pretending to be members of Zhen family's convoy.

Afterwards, Zhao Yun entered Wuji County alone and came to the Zhen family in Wuji County. He handed over to the lady and the housekeeper, took a grain transport convoy out of the city, and met up with Zhang Sui and others.

Zhang Sui then took Zhao Yun and the local gentry of Zhending County with him to replace the food and fodder with weapons and armor.

A group of people, led by Zhao Yun, stayed outside the city for a day and a night before swaggering into the city. The atmosphere in the city was obviously a little off.

You can see some people everywhere.

These people look like ordinary people, but their actions are obviously different.

Moreover, at the city gate, the city defense soldiers began to check the passes of people entering and leaving.

Zhang Sui, Zhao Yun and others entered the Zhen family mansion.

The maids of the Zhen family began to evacuate to the cellar in an orderly manner.

Only the lady and a few maids who frequently came in and out of the Zhen family mansion were still outside.

The second son Zhen Yan, with more than a hundred guards, has approached Wuji County.

The lady sent a servant to meet the second son Zhen Yan and stop him from entering the city.

However, no one expected that the second young master Zhen Yan would still enter the city.

After returning to the Zhen family mansion, the second son Zhen Yan prepared to go directly to see his wife.

But I didn't expect to meet Zhang Sui and Zhao Yun.

The second young master Zhen Yan was extremely excited.

Upon learning that Zhang Sui had become a lieutenant with a thousand cavalrymen under his command, the second son Zhen Yan was so envious that he almost drooled.

Just as he was about to discuss the marriage between his second sister and Zhang Sui, his wife came over.

When the lady saw the second son Zhen Yan, she was furious.

I originally wanted him to find a way to help, but I didn't expect that he would directly resign from the position of Qu Liangling and enter the city with more than a hundred guards.

What's the point of going into the city?

If the Zhen family can’t resist, both he and his second son will die!
Now the second daughter is far away in Yecheng.

The other children are still young.

If I and my second son die, won’t the Zhen family be finished?

The second son Zhen Yan saw that his wife's face turned pale and she scolded him harshly, looking a little uncomfortable.

It was not until the lady finished scolding that the second son Zhen Yan said in a hoarse voice: "Mother, I also know it is useless."

"But I'm not the timid person I used to be."

Looking at Zhang Sui and Zhao Yun, the second son Zhen Yan said in a trembling voice: "As the male head of the Zhen family, I have no talent, no bravery, and no ability to achieve success."

"The Zhen family is about to encounter a disaster, and I can't find any help."

"But I also don't want to watch my mother and my Zhen family being destroyed while I don't even have a seat."

"Otherwise, if my mother and the Zhen family meet with misfortune and I am left alone, I will never have peace in my life!"

"As the current male owner of the Zhen family, even if my mother and the Zhen family are going to die, I should die before you."

The lady was about to scold again.

But at this moment, listening to her son's words this time, her eyes quickly filled with tears.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Sui and Zhao Yun hurriedly stepped back to allow the mother and son to gather together.

Zhang Sui and Zhao Yun had not walked far when they saw the mother and son hugging each other and crying.

After the second son Zhen Yan came back, he also brought more than a hundred guards to join the Zhen family's protection.

The second son Zhen Yan was still wearing the paper armor that Zhang Sui had made before.

On the third day after the second son Zhen Yan returned, the other aristocratic families in Wuji County finally could not hold back.

They "joined forces" with the county captain Wang Hao and the county magistrate Zhang Shen to seal off the entire Wuji County.

No one is allowed to enter the city.

The order was sent in the morning.

In the afternoon, nearly five thousand troops came out from various families in all directions and gathered towards the Zhen family.

All the Zhen family members in Wuji County also evacuated to the Zhen family mansion to take shelter.

The people of Wuji County closed their doors tightly and dared not come out, for fear of being affected.

The entire Wuji County was eerily silent.

Except for the Zhen family mansion which was surrounded by people, there was not a single person to be seen anywhere else.
