Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

In order to gain the support of the Zhen family, Chen Gong spared no expense, because he knew that Li Huiyi would understand his painstaking efforts and would agree to support him.

I saw Chen Gong slowly replying: "If the Zhen family votes, my lord will report to the emperor and enshrine the family lord as a waiter, and under my rule, the Zhen family can buy any property, and there will never be any interference from officials. Do not violate the rule of law established by our Lord."

The Zhen family has grown and grown, and no one has been entrusted as a marquis for a hundred years, and the largest is no more than a small county official, so they cannot become a real family, and can only be kings and hegemons in this city of Ye.

Isn't the temptation thrown by Chen Gong in front of him the dream of the Zhen family?

But there are benefits and dangers, and if Yuan Shao finds out, the Zhen family will be in great danger.

Hugely shocked, Zhen Yao recovered within a few minutes, looked at Chen Gong and asked, "Sir, what you said is indeed very attractive, but how many days will you be able to stay in Yecheng?"

Seeing Zhen Yao let go, Chen Gong felt relieved, and replied slowly: "The palace will wait until my lord arrives, and personally introduce the Patriarch to my lord."

Seeing that Chen Gong was so confident, Zhen Yao hesitated for a moment.

Chen Gong saw that Zhen Yao had made a difficult decision at the moment, and continued: "Black Mountain is now under my lord's command, and Yuan Shao led the army to confront Youzhou with my lord, so there must be no soldiers to fight against, and the palace general will use Yecheng as his lord. Ji, sweep the entire Yizhou, and achieve the king's hegemony for my master, and the patriarch will also be one of the heroes at that time, so it is not a trivial matter to be named a marquis."

There are nearly a million people in Black Mountain, and most of them are outlaws. If you really think what Chen Gong said, this matter is really possible.

Zhen Yao thought for a while and asked: "Sir, can I let the old man think about it, after all, this is about the future of the Zhen family."

What needs to be said has already been said, if Zhen Yao is to be forced to express his position, I am afraid that it will make him feel uneasy, so Chen Gong got up and said: "Okay, then the palace will not disturb the Patriarch."

After Chen Gong finished speaking, he clasped his hands and walked out of the house. After walking a few steps, he suddenly looked back at Zhen Yao who was seeing him off and said, "Oh, by the way, Youshi Palace is hosting a banquet at the prefect's mansion, and all the aristocratic families in the city will come , I hope the Patriarch will not be late."

Zhen Yao was startled, and quickly replied: "Don't worry, sir, the old man will arrive early."

After getting the reply, Chen Gong turned around and strode forward, leaving Zhen Yao alone in the room thinking.

Chen Gong's intentions couldn't be more obvious, tonight's banquet may be a Hongmen banquet, it seems that there will be a bloodbath in Yecheng.

And if the Zhen family took refuge in Li Huiyi at this time, it would be a big gamble. If they won, the Zhen family would take a step forward and become a real family. If they lost, the Zhen family's strength would be greatly damaged.

But right now, the Zhen family can't afford not to gamble. I'm afraid that if they say no, the Zhen family will be wiped out with blood.

"Ugh!"

Zhen Yao sighed, and summoned his servants to inform all the Zhen family members in the mansion, and was going to let them decide for themselves what to do.

Chapter 236 Hongmen Banquet

Knowing that Chen Gong hosted a banquet in the prefect's mansion, all the aristocratic families in Yecheng were restless and wanted to discuss it with others, but they couldn't leave the gate of the mansion, and could only watch the time pass by.

The time for the banquet was getting closer, Zhen Yao explained at home, and asked his servants to prepare a car to drive to the banquet.

When Zhen Yao got into the carriage, he saw more than a dozen soldiers who surrounded the mansion come out, escorting the carriage all the way to the eunuch's mansion.

After getting out of the car, he saw escort soldiers guarding the car. Zhen Yao felt helpless, and looked at the banquet guests who were like him in the distance, thinking that he was going to be trapped in the mansion to death, so that he could not communicate with the outside world.

Zhen Yao entered the prefect's mansion with the soldiers at the gate, and saw that the tables for the banquet had been filled from the lobby to the courtyard. It seemed that the people attending the banquet today were not just from aristocratic families.

Withdrawing his gaze, Zhen Yao followed the soldiers to Chen Gong, saluted each other politely, greeted each other a few times, and sat down under Chen Gong's arrangement.

As the sky gradually dimmed, all the aristocratic families who came to the banquet had arrived, but Chen Gong still sat in the middle of the upper seat, looking back and forth at the crowd, and did not announce the start.

All the aristocratic families looked in their eyes, knowing that there must be important people coming, but there were some people who couldn't guess, all of them looked around for a while, trying to find the answer.

Seeing that Xu Shi was about to arrive, the foreheads of the aristocratic families present were already sweating, their bodies were moving about uncomfortably, and the calmness in their hearts was slowly disappearing.

At this moment, the sound of orderly footsteps came suddenly, and the startled families all turned their heads to look.

I saw more than a hundred people wearing armor, with swords on their waists, walked into the courtyard, and sat down in an orderly manner, and the two leaders, wearing black and white armor, strode into the room.

The person in the black armor glanced coldly at the family present, while the people in the white armor followed behind blankly.

Everyone in the black armor was staring at the aristocratic family, they were all startled, they quickly cupped their hands and smiled, then avoided looking at the white armored man.

Seeing Zhang Yan and Zhao Yun appearing in such a majestic manner, Chen Gong was very satisfied. After Zhang Yan and Zhao Yun sat on the left and right sides of him, he whispered a few words to the soldiers beside him.

After the soldiers left, Chen Gong stood up and looked at the crowd and said: "The food and drink will be here soon, please wait a moment, let the old man introduce the two people beside you."

Chen Gong put his hand aside in front of Zhang Yan on the left and said, "This is General Zhang Yan of Pingbei under the Marquis of Liaodong."

As soon as Chen Gong finished speaking, Zhang Yan stood up with a bang, looked at the crowd and said loudly: "Yan has seen everyone, I hope that Yecheng will be under Yan's garrison, and you can cooperate a lot, otherwise... don't blame Yan's sword for being ruthless. "

"Choke!" After Zhang Yan finished speaking, she quickly drew half of her sword and looked back and forth at the crowd.

Seeing this, all the aristocratic families trembled in their hearts. After all, Zhang Yan's notoriety has been passed down for a long time.

"I will definitely obey General Zhang's orders", as long as the general needs it, I will definitely serve with both hands. "All the aristocratic families hurriedly stood up in fright to express their views.

Seeing this, Chen Gong showed a smile on his face, looked at the families who dared not sit down and said: "Everyone, sit down quickly, sit down quickly."

Seeing Zhang Yan sitting down with the sword back in its sheath, all the aristocratic families dared to sit down in peace, and at the same time secretly wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.

Chen Gong then put his hand in front of Zhao Yun on the right side, and introduced: "This is Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong who fought against Lu Bu under the Hulao Pass."

As soon as Chen Gong finished speaking, all the aristocratic families hurriedly got up and said: "I have seen General Zhao, General Zhao is brave, and we have already been heard like thunder."

Zhao Yun stood up blankly and replied, "Zilong has seen you all."

Seeing Zhao Yun sitting down, all the families breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly sat down too.

When the two were introduced, the food and drink were almost ready, Chen Gong raised his glass and stood up and said, "Today is our army's victory banquet, all of you are here to celebrate the joy together, come! Have a drink."

All the aristocratic families hurriedly got up and toasted each other, saying: "Congratulations to Mr. Chen, General Zhang, and General Zhao for their great achievements. We will definitely follow the arrangements of the three adults and have already helped Liaodong Marquis achieve great things."

Chen Gong drank the wine in the glass and shouted loudly: "Okay! With your good words, everyone, please sit down and eat and drink as much as you want, you are welcome."

The banquet officially began, and all the aristocratic families frequently toasted to Chen Gong and the three with trepidation, expressing their loyalty to the death.

Chen Gong didn't care whether the families were sincere or not, and raised his glass to thank them one by one.

And the generals of the Shenwu Army outside the courtyard ate with all their might. If Zhang Yan hadn't urged him to do so, they would have already started eating in a riot when they entered the mansion.

An hour later, the toasting of the aristocratic family in the house has slowly stopped, except for the yelling outside the courtyard, adding a trace of excitement, I am afraid that the banquet has long been silent.

Seeing that it was almost the same, Chen Gong looked at the crowd and said: "I invite you to come here today, I have something for you to help."

The hearts of the aristocratic families trembled, thinking that the theme had finally come.

"Sir, you don't need to be polite, as long as I wait within my ability, I will definitely help you."

Seeing this, Chen Gong said slowly: "What the old man said, in the eyes of all of you, is nothing more than lifting a finger."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Chen Gong continued: "Our army suffered heavy losses in this attack, so we have borrowed some soldiers from you to help defend the city."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the aristocratic family panicked. The family soldiers they cultivated themselves are the foundation for them to survive in troubled times.
