Chapter 228 The Chaos in the Family

Chapter 227: Chaos in the Family

In October of the 16th year of Qianyuan, more than a dozen Jiangdong families, large and small, headed by the four major families of Zhang, Zhou, Xie, and Lu, secretly transferred the only family members in the family to Youquan. People, so this action was easily hidden from Wu Cheng.

On October 16th of the [-]th year of Qianyuan, it was the middle of winter, but there was no snow in Jiangdong this year, it was just that the weather was a bit cold, but this did not stop the way of the Jiangdong family. , There are more than [-] people. In today's Jiangdong area, this is a very large team. After all, more than [-]% of Wu's soldiers and horses are on the front line.

Youquan, the Zhang family's house, and the Jiangdong family met here again. Now that the soldiers and horses are ready, and the food and grass are ready, the last step is to elect a general to command the army. After several discussions, it is decided that Zhou The younger son of the Zhou family, Zhou Tong, the youngest son of the head of the Zhou family, is worried about the commander of this army. Zhou Tong is Zhou Kai's younger brother, and he is very capable. Accompanied by two heirs, he stayed at home.

"Nephew Zhou Tong, is everything ready?" In the Zhang family compound, Zhang Yong and the heads of other aristocratic families looked at Zhou Tong and asked.

Zhou Tong nodded and said: "Don't worry, everything is ready. The county magistrates and county lieutenants from all over the country have already greeted me. The army of my family will definitely appear in Wucheng quietly, and many of them expressed I will fully support my family."

Zhang Yong smiled and nodded. The aristocratic family has been in business for hundreds of years, and the background is not comparable to the Sun family, so he said: "Well, after three days, the army will march north to Wucheng. This time, we must fight with the Sun family." Do a thorough understanding."

"Here!" Zhou Tong replied.

On October 16th, the [-]th year of Qianyuan, more than [-] aristocratic coalition forces left Youquan under the command of Zhou Tong and went north to Wucheng. Unbeknownst to them, even a few officials who were loyal to the Sun family were dealt with, making the allied forces of the aristocratic families led by Zhou Tong unimpeded.

On October 16th, 28th year of Qianyuan, the allied forces of the aristocratic family arrived [-] miles outside Wucheng. Although Zhou Tong did not have any experience in commanding troops in combat, he was well-read in military books, and his personality was always cautious, so he stayed here , and then sent people secretly into Wucheng to find out the situation.

It can be said that the aristocratic family was very lucky to raise troops this time. No one around Wucheng noticed something was wrong. Although many people had seen them, they all thought that it was composed of strong men recruited by King Wu. The army is ready to go to the front line.

However, as the saying goes, one hundred secrets and one sparse, someone finally discovered this move of the family, and the person who discovered it was Zhang Chao.

Just when Zhou Tong led the army to arrive outside Wucheng, he was discovered by the steward of Zhang Chao's mansion. Steward Zhang had followed Zhang Chao for many years and had a lot of experience. The army is different in strength and strength, and he also recognized the leading general at a glance. This is a member of Wucheng Zhou's family and Zhou Kai's younger brother, so Steward Zhang feels that something is wrong. Why do these people suddenly appear here? So he hurried back to the city and told Zhang Chao about it.

After Zhang Chao learned about this, his first reaction was to feel strange. If it is said that the king of Wu is strong and strong, but Zhou Tong is a direct descendant of the Zhou family and the younger brother of Zhou Kai, the governor of the state of Wu. Who would dare to forcibly conscript him into the army? Ah, but if it's not a forced team, what is it?Then Zhang Chao thought that during this period of time, the family had lost a lot of contact with him, as if there was something to hide from him, and this time, Zhou Tong appeared quietly with so many people. In Wucheng, the more Zhang Chao thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he planned to go to the palace to see King Wu.

However, since the forced conquest came out, the King of Wu ordered Zhang Chao not to enter the palace. The defenders of the royal city did not dare to violate the will of the King of Wu, so they had to stop Zhang Chao. After several negotiations, Zhang Chao still failed to enter the palace. In the palace, in desperation, Zhang Chao went to Huang Er and Lin Yuan, two favored ministers of the King of Wu, hoping that they could speak to the King of Wu on his behalf, but Zhang Chao, Huang Er and Lin Yuan had always been at odds. How could he believe him, so he sent Zhang Chao away in a few words.

Zhang Chao, who returned home, was in a state of dismay. Zhou Tong suddenly brought so many people to Wucheng. It was obvious that the aristocratic family planned to plot something wrong, but now that the King of Wu did not see him, how could he stop it? After thinking twice, Zhang Chao Chao decided to see Zhou Tong, hoping to persuade Zhou Tong to withdraw his troops.

After Zhang Chao came to the Aristocratic Allied Army camp, he found many familiar faces. There were not only people from the Zhou family, but also his Zhang family, Lu family, and Xie family. This time, the Jiangdong family may have come out in full force, which made Zhang Chao even more alarmed.

Zhou Tong was very surprised by Zhang Chao's arrival. It stands to reason that this operation has already wiped out all the eyes and ears of Wu Cheng. How could Zhang Chao find out?

Zhou Tong decided to meet Zhang Chao. After all, Zhang Chao already knew about the family's actions. If Zhang Chao went back and told the king of Wu, then he might be defeated. Therefore, the most urgent task is to stabilize Zhang Chao, even if he can't persuade him. Zhang Chao acted together with the family, so he couldn't let him go back.

Zhang Chao walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, saw Zhou Tong standing up to greet him, and said with a cold face: "So it is Zhou Tong's virtuous nephew."

Zhang Chao is Zhang Yong's younger brother, and is of the same generation as Zhou Kai and Zhou Tong's father, Zhou Zhuan. Although he is only called a good nephew, Zhou Tong looked at Zhang Chao, smiled and said, "My nephew Zhou Tong has met Uncle Zhang." !"

In fact, with Zhang Chao's identity, Zhou Tong should call him Prime Minister Zhang. The reason why Zhou Tong didn't call him that way was to remind Zhang Chao that he was also a member of a family.

Zhang Chao did not greet Zhou Tong politely, but stared at Zhou Tong's face firmly, and said, "I don't know why nephew Zhou Tong came here? Why did he bring so many people?"

Zhou Tong said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, don't worry, sit down first, and wait for my nephew to speak slowly to my uncle." Bring Zhang Chao a glass of wine.

After Zhang Chao sat down, he took a sip of his wine and said, "Nephew Zhou Tong, now that I'm sitting down and drinking, you should tell me why you brought so many people here? And if I'm not mistaken If so, there are not only members of your Zhou family here, but also the children of my Zhang family, Lu family, Xie family and other Jiangdong families, what exactly do you want to do?"

Zhou Tong straightened his face and said: "Uncle, this is what happened. The Sun family has no virtue, is aggressive and poisons the people. In order to save the people of Jiangdong, our family decided to overthrow the Sun family and return Jiangdong to a bright future. Uncle Mingjian."

"What! You are going to rebel!" Zhang Chao was shocked. Although he had already guessed before coming here, he was still shocked after learning about the plot of the Jiangdong family from Zhou Tong. Preferential treatment is added, and the important positions in the central and local governments are basically held by the children of the aristocratic family, but now the Jiangdong aristocratic family is actually going to rebel.

"Don't be impatient, uncle." Seeing Zhang Chao's surprise, Zhou Tong smiled and said, "How can this matter be described as rebellion? Our Jiangdong family followed the example of the end of Qin and rose up To overthrow Sun's tyranny is an act of great benevolence and righteousness. It is not the same as rebellion. Sun's tyranny is deeply poisonous to the people and to our family. Uncle is also a member of the family. I need my uncle's help."

Zhang Chao was the Prime Minister on the spot, and his influence in Wucheng was huge and deeply rooted. With his help, he would be able to enter Wucheng without hindrance.

"Hmph!" However, Zhang Chao is not interested in the family's scheme at all. As for Zhou Tong's explanation, Zhang Chao even scoffed at it. What kind of benevolent act is not a fig leaf, so he sneered and said: "I didn't expect that, The nephew is so eloquent, but no matter how you say it, it can't change the fact that you are rebellious officials and thieves. The truth is that you are the prime minister on the spot. It is the so-called eating the king's salary and worrying about the king. The truth is on par with you We don't agree with each other, but the truth has good words to persuade, if you don't want to be infamous for a long time, you can also hope that the nephew will leave quickly, the truth can pretend that this never happened."

Zhou Tong shook his head and sneered, he had to lament Zhang Chao's innocence, how could he turn back when things had come to this point.
