Three Kingdoms: Marry Sun Shangxiang at the beginning

Chapter 267 The Undercurrent Surges, The Choice of the Four Great Families in Jiangdong
"Siege!~"

Catapults with oil bombs, accompanied by overwhelming arrows, poured towards the city.

Hundreds of Jinglan vehicles attacked from all sides.

There is nothing short of three.

Guan Yu attacked the east gate, Zhang Fei attacked the west gate, Huang Zhong attacked the north gate, Liu Feng was standing at the south gate, Xiang Chong and Wang Ping were commanding the attack.

"The hidden guards in the city, is there any news?" Liu Feng saw that the siege ahead was not going well. Although there were not many generals in the city, there were many resourceful men.

"Sun Quan dismissed the prime minister Zhang Zhao who had asked to surrender, changed him to Taiwei, and Gu Yong became the prime minister."

Liu Feng stroked his beard with one hand, "The matter of Zhang Cheng has not been reported to Jianye, otherwise Zhang Zhao would have been imprisoned at this moment."

"My lord, I don't know how many families Zhang Zhao has won over in the city. There are few soldiers in the city at the moment. If they go to the palace to capture Sun Quan, maybe they can win this battle without fighting."

Liu Feng glanced at Xue Zong, "You are also the last commander of the hidden guards, do you think Sun Quan is defenseless?"

"He appointed Zhang Zhao's prime minister to be on guard against him and the Jiangdong family in the city."

Liu Feng narrowed his eyes, "Compared with breaking the city, I am more worried about how to arrange these guys, such as Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, if they surrender, I am afraid that there will be many more surrendered officials from Wu Kingdom in the future. "

Most of those who can enter the court are ranked more than two thousand stones. Xue Zong was a little surprised, after all, those surrendered ministers can also get such a high position in their own family.

Then he heard Liu Feng muttering to himself.

"After taking down Yunzhou, there are too few officials to govern. Liangzhou also needs to re-appoint some officials to govern. There are also future Yingzhou, Sanhan, and one governor, which is already two thousand stones, so Jingwen, Don't worry about it too much, if you are willing to be released as an official in the future, Gu Ye will keep your position of two thousand stones, how about it?"

Xue Zong cupped his hands slightly, "Then I will thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first."

"You..." Liu Feng pointed at him dumbfounded, and Xue Zong really had such thoughts.

But he thought about it again, now that the positions of the six ministers are full, unless Xue Zong has been released as an official for a few years, otherwise he will not be able to rank in the cabinet anyway.

This kid, who has been with him for a year or two, actually has the ambition to join the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister.

Liu Feng smiled and glanced at Jingzhou and Jianye City.

Xue Zong's talent, even the big Jiangdong just now, can't be ranked in the top ten, not to mention the abundance of talents in Sichuan, even Fazheng, Liu Ba and others, their aptitude is above him.

But who made Xue Zong his confidant?

In time, if he made achievements outside, he could be entrusted with important tasks.

Thinking of this, Liu Feng took a look at a guy who was following the army and poking around.

"Lu Xun."

"The minister is here." Lu Xun was shocked when he heard the summons, and immediately rode forward.

"From today onwards, you will be promoted to the East of the Crown Prince's Mansion, Cao Cao."

"Here." Lu Xun clasped his fists slightly in response, again surprised.

Why did I switch from joining the army to Dong Cao of the Prince's Mansion?

Is this to train yourself as Xue Zong's confidant?
But his ambition is to be on the battlefield, like Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, commanding thousands of troops to usher in the prosperity of the Han Dynasty.

In the black light and blind fire, in Jianye City, many people could not sleep at night, feeling the sound of killing outside the city.

Also in a secluded small courtyard, several old stewards gathered together.

"Everyone, it's not convenient for the heads of our families to be present, so let's give you a letter of approval today. I don't know if it will happen tomorrow night?"

The steward of Zhang Hong's family, the censor, clasped his fists slightly, "I, the Zhang family of Guangling, have five hundred family members, and the elder son Zhang Xuan will be in charge."

"I'm sorry, everyone. I, the Gu family of Wu County, don't want to betray Your Majesty. I won't participate in today's matter, but everyone, don't be afraid that the Patriarch will report you. After all, after the city of Wu County is broken, my Gu family will His family members are also in the hands of the Shu army." The person who spoke was the steward of Gu Yong's family. Among the four major families in Jiangdong, Zhang Hong often fell ill, Zhang Zhao was demoted and suspected, and Gu Yong became the prime minister. The most powerful in Jianye City.

"Zhu family, are you not here today?" The steward of Zhang Hong's family looked around and asked.

"Zhu Huan died in the battle of Jingnan, Zhu Ju was still in Lu Meng's army, Zhu Yi was young and didn't care about things, but their Zhu family was also loyal to Wu's generals, so they didn't tell them today." The steward of Zhang Zhao's family said.

"This time, two of the four major families in Jiangdong are missing."

"But fortunately today, Yu Fan, Wei Teng, and the stewards of the Kuaiji clan have all come."

At this moment, more than a dozen figures stood in the alley and whispered for a while.

"Then it was agreed that there will be an incident tomorrow night. With more than 3000 strong people gathered from various families including me, it is enough to turn this Jianye City upside down."

"Why don't we send a letter first, asking His Royal Highness to wait for the Patriarch for me and ask for a reward first?"

As soon as the voice fell, a figure came out from the darkness.

"Everyone, don't panic, I am Zhang Xiu, the secret guard Yangzhou Qianhu."

Zhang Xiu, the second son of Zhang Zhao.

"I came here today to bring the order from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Every family is willing to take the initiative to take the initiative to open the gate of Jianye. The heads of each family will be rewarded with the title of Marquis of Guannei, and the heads of the four major families will be awarded the title of Marquis of Duting."

"The direct descendants of your family also have rewards, but they are only casual officials such as Captain Qi and Captain Xiyuan. If you want a real job, you have to graduate from Jingxiang Academy."

You can enter Jingxiang Academy in one step, and the treatment is extremely high.

"Dare to ask Lord Baihu, if I wait to surrender, will the old men in that family retain their former official positions?"

Zhang Xiu smiled, "Pseudo-emperor Sun Quan raised the official positions of the heads of each of your families several times. When my lord was awarded the reward, he was canonized according to the official positions of you and others in the past."

"But don't worry, my father and Uncle Zhang Hong are at least six ministers with a rank of two thousand shi. As for the heads of the family, they can be transferred to prefectures and counties, and they can also hold official positions of more than [-] shi in the court."

In this way, the people below will feel more at ease.

Only the family member of Wei Teng's family cupped his fists slightly, "My patriarch is upright, this surrender was also planned by my young master. If he is willing to surrender, I wonder what official position His Royal Highness would like to confer?"

"Now the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment is Mr. Liu Ba, the head of your family is upright, and everyone in the world knows that such a frank person should be the servant of the Ministry of Punishment."

"Thank you, Lord Baihu." The steward of the Wei family was immediately satisfied.

Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong are both servants of the Six Departments, as is his master, so the four big families of Wei Teng and Kuaiji can also be compared with the four big families of Wu County, Lu, Zhu, Zhang, and Gu.
