The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 811 The Four Great Families
After a day and a night of non-stop driving, Liu Zan finally entered the territory of Wu County.

After some inquiries, Liu Zan and Liu Lue finally got a clearer understanding of the more detailed situation.

Although the four largest wealthy families in Wu County are sparing no effort in recruiting troops, in fact none of the hosts here is the head of the four major families.

The reason for this is actually not difficult to understand.

That old fellow Zhang Zhao would definitely give him the most important responsibility again when Sun Quan went on his own expedition: either supervising the country, or being an accompanying military counselor.Therefore, he is now the first person who is absolutely impossible to return to Wu County to manage affairs.

Gu Yong, obviously, has been given the power to jointly handle various government affairs in Jiangdong with Zhang Zhao.He once again became the veritable second Zhang Zhao.Therefore, it is impossible for Gu Yong to go back to Wu County at this time.

As for the Lu family, the situation is even worse.Originally, their family would definitely have the opportunity to rise the fastest in the future, because by chance, Lu Xun became the commander-in-chief of the three armies in Jiangdong, and became a figure with less than one person and more than ten thousand people.But serious problems also appeared on Lu Xun, and he was imprisoned by Sun Quan.

The current situation of Zhu Huan of the Zhu family is not much better than that of Lu Xun. He also suffered from prison and became a prisoner of the Shu Han army.Although Liu Chan's enmity with Zhu Yi is serious, it is not enough to take his anger on his father.But the Zhu family and Quan Cong had a deep blood feud, and Liu Chan had been thinking about whether Zhu Huan should be handed over to Quan Cong to deal with it.

Judging from the above situation, none of the patriarchs of the four major families in Wu County can return to Wu County now.

But it was precisely because of the above situation, and the fear of any mistakes in the territory of Wu County, that the outstanding young and middle-aged people among the four major families began to take charge of their own affairs.

Zhang Zhao sent his eldest son, Zhang Cheng, back to Wu County to take charge of the affairs, and began to fortify Wu County.In fact, Zhang Cheng's youth was only four years younger than Zhuge Jin's, and he was already close to 40 years old. After all, Zhang Zhao was already very old, so Zhang Cheng's current age was not surprising.

Gu Yong's family is currently under house arrest because of Gu Shao, so there is no possibility of a trip.

But in fact, Gu Tong was driven back to his hometown by him earlier, and he is now in Wu County.But that kid Gu Tong is very good at eating, drinking and having fun, and it is really too difficult for him to deal with serious business, so the Gu family can only let some elders of the family come forward to preside over the affairs.

With Lu Xun being imprisoned, the Lu family should cheer up even more.Therefore, at this time, the Lu family began to take Lu Xun's uncle Lu Ji back in charge of the family.

Although Lu Ji is Lu Xun's uncle, in fact Lu Xun is several years older than Lu Ji, and Lu Ji is only 30 years old now.After the death of Lu Kang, the father of the Lu family, Lu Ji was still very young, so he could only rely on Lu Xun to help support the family.Now that Lu Xun is in trouble, the family will of course have to return to Lu Ji to take power.

Lu Ji has always had a very good reputation, coupled with his talent and learning, he has been writing constantly, and he was a great talent in Jiangdong at that time.With such a person in charge of the Lu family, it is impossible to embarrass the family.

Zhu Huan's son, Zhu Yi, was only in his early twenties, but he was still pushed out by the Zhu family to take charge of affairs.

The big reason for this is that Zhu Yi has been recognized for a long time because of his ability to behave and do things very well.Although this guy also did some stupid things, which led to Quan Cong's betrayal.But he was also punished by Sun Quan because of this, and now it is time to push him to the stage again.

So as soon as the young people of these four major families were in place, they got together with the elders of the Gu family to discuss.

What surprised the elders of the Gu family was that these young people, especially Zhu Yi, looked so young, but no matter how they talked or talked about military affairs, they were not far behind.

However, looking back at Lu Ji, this person seems a little different, and he doesn't seem to be very interested in military matters.

And Zhang Cheng's performance is the most outstanding.After all, this person was once rated as Jiangdong's greatest talent in the future. At that time, Lu Xun could only carry his shoes, but Lu Xun came from behind.

These people discussed for a whole night, and finally determined what they should do next: use all the strength of the four major families to do their best to recruit troops in Wu County to fight against the upcoming invasion of the Shu Han army.

They did this, of course, under the pretext of defending Jiangdong's territory.But to put it bluntly, didn't he actually regard Wu County as his own territory, and didn't want Wu County to be touched by the Shu Han army?
As a result, the children of the four major families began to gather together.

I don't know if I don't look at it, but I'm really going to be shocked when I see it.The hands and feet of these families are really nimble enough, and each family has assembled at least a thousand soldiers.And those residents with foreign surnames who were not children of the four major families joined their army one after another under the call of the four major families.

Moreover, these more than 4000 people are only a small part of the soldiers of the four major families.There are still thousands of people in their clan who have become officials, and they are distributed in various counties and counties in Jiangdong.

These family children who are in the officialdom of Jiangdong or at the grassroots or middle level are also rushing back to Wujun one after another.These people didn't come back alone, they all came back with their own servants or their own private soldiers.At that time, the number of armies formed by the four major families will really increase exponentially.

These people are actually the most backbone among the children of the four major families.They are also the reason why the influence of the four major families in Jiangdong is so great: controlling the counties at the grassroots level is equivalent to controlling the world.

That's why Wu County has been thrown into chaos recently because of the conscription.

When Liu Zan came to Wu Jun, the strength of these four families in Wu Jun was really jaw-dropping, at least Liu Zan did so after inquiring about the situation.Because according to the information he inquired, the four major families had already prepared an army of more than [-] people in less than a month!
This speed of forming an army is simply incomparable, and even Zhuge Ke, who once set a record for conscription, is beyond the reach.This also fully demonstrated to the world at that time the astonishing potential strength of the four major families in Wu County!

While Liu Zan sighed, he couldn't help but feel a little trembling in his heart.No wonder the lord Sun Quan was so cautious when dealing with the former governor Lu Xun.Rumors have been saying that the lord should deal with Lu Xun in the near future, but this deal seems to be far away.It turned out that the lord was afraid of the strength of the four major families!

However, Liu Zan also felt that it was indeed the right thing for him to come to Wu County.The army of more than 1 people in Wujun, together with the army guarding Moling, can still temporarily stop the advance of the Shuhan army!
