Chapter 881 Proposal
Yuan Xi had just left from the Wubao of the Zhen family.
Zhen Yao and Zhen Yan in the living room sighed.
Zhen Yan sighed, because of her incompetence, she was useless in front of Yuan Xi, an arrogant and domineering son, and could neither protect her family nor preserve the clan.
As a Patriarch, he felt that he had failed too much.
But in the face of the overbearing Yuan Xi, there was nothing he could do, so he could only compromise.
Zhen Yao sighed, and the same was true, but although Zhen Yao sighed, he was more angry.
Angry at Yuan Xi.
Originally, Yuan Xi had a big prejudice against the Zhen family. Thirty thousand stones of food and grass were pressed on the Zhen family's head, making the Zhen family breathless.
The Zhen family thought that as long as they got the food and grass Yuan Xi wanted, Yuan Xi would let the Zhen family go, but now it seems that Yuan Xi will only make progress.
Not only did they have to ask for food and grass from the Zhen family, but they also forcibly took their younger sister as a concubine.
To Zhen Yao, this was a shame.
"Damn! Damn Yuan Xi! You're too deceitful!"
Zhen Yao didn't hold back, his clenched fist had nowhere to rest, and angrily smashed it on the wooden table beside him.
There was a loud bang.
This made Liu Zheng, who had been silent all this time, frightened by Zhen Yao's move.
"Brother Zhen"
Seeing Zhen Yao's appearance, Liu Zheng felt that it was the right time, so he simply spoke at this time and said something to Zhen Yao and Zhen Yan.
Hearing Liu Zheng's words, Zhen Yao remembered that there were Liu Zheng and others in this room.
"Brother Mi, I'm sorry, I made you laugh just now."
Zhen Yao smiled wryly, Liu Zheng had seen what happened just now, and it also made the Zhen family lose face.
Liu Zheng knew what Zhen Yao was referring to, so he smiled lightly.
"Brother Zhen is worrying too much. I didn't intend to make fun of Brother Zhen. I just thought it was worthless for Brother Zhen. This Yuan Xi is also bullying others. I simply don't take your Zhen family seriously."
"Who says no? He, Yuan Xi, doesn't want to get along with our Zhen family at all. If he wants our Zhen family to support him, why would he keep pushing him? He came to ask for food, but now he asks for someone directly. He also wants my sister to marry him."
"Third brother, don't say any more, lest this brother see our Zhen family's joke."
Zhen Yao didn't have any scruples with Liu Zheng. It happened that Liu Zheng had seen it, and he wanted to say something to vent his anger.
However, Zhen Yan is different, he is the head of the family after all, he is more or less unwilling to publicize this kind of matter, and can only keep it in his own heart.
Liu Zheng saw through what Zhen Yan meant.
"Patriarch Zhen Yan, don't worry, I'm not that Yuan Xi's person, on the contrary, after I saw what happened to your Zhen family this time, I have a clear way to show you."
Originally, Zhen Yan didn't care much about Liu Zheng's words, but Liu Zheng said that he could show them a clear way, which attracted Zhen Yan's attention.
"Can you show us the way? What do you mean?"
Zhen Yan knew Liu Zheng's identity, he only thought that Liu Zheng was from the Mi family, Zhen Yan knew very well who the Mi family was.
So I have some interest in what Liu Zheng said.
"Does Patriarch Zhen Yan know who I am?"
"Aren't you the steward of the Mi family?"
Liu Zheng nodded.
"Since Patriarch Zhen knows that I am from the Mi family, it is also clear that my master is one of the most trusted people under His Majesty Liu Zheng. If Patriarch Zhen is willing to join His Majesty Liu Zheng, I am willing to introduce Patriarch Zhen Yan."
"Presumably, Patriarch Zhen Yan also understands what kind of person His Majesty Liu Zheng is. Not to mention comparable to Emperor Qin and Han Wu, but he is definitely a hero of a generation. He will definitely rule the world in the future. Instead of following Yuan Xi, who is not in the limelight, it is better to join His Majesty Liu Zheng in advance. , so as to pave the way for the Zhen family in the future."
If Liu Zheng said such a thing at this time, before Yuan Xi came, Zhen Yan would definitely not accept it, but would refuse it righteously.
After all, collaborating with the enemy and treason is not a small crime.
However, after Yuan Xi's trouble now, the relationship between the Zhen family and Yuan Xi has worsened, which made Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao have some different ideas about what Liu Zheng said at this time.
In their view, rather than fighting Yuan Xi here, whether the family can survive is another matter. Taking refuge in Liu Zheng may not be a way out.
Moreover, they heard Liu Zheng's words, and they also agreed with what Liu Zheng said. After all, Liu Zheng is now the person who has the best chance to dominate the world.
Sooner or later, Hebei will be unified by Liu Zheng.If Yuan Shao was still there, Hebei might still be able to hold on, but now that Yuan Shao is dead, the three sons of the Yuan family are fighting for power and profit, and the internal disintegration has already collapsed, so there is no need for Liu Zheng to take action.
This Hebei will be attacked by Liu Zheng's army at any time, and it will become a territory under Liu Zheng's men.
Zhen Yan fell into deep thought. This matter cannot be decided by him with a single sentence.
How could it be so easy to talk about taking refuge in Liu Zheng.
The Zhen family is not just one or two people, but a whole family.Thousands of people cannot move their family to Liu Zheng's territory.
Even if he really wanted to take the whole family to Liu Zheng's territory, it was not just talk. Yuan Xi occupied Jizhou, and the movement of thousands of people could not escape Yuan Xi's eyes and ears. If caught by Yuan Xi, he would be directly killed by Yuan Xi.
While Zhen Yan was still thinking, Zhen Yao had already figured it out.
"Brother, what Brother Mi said is indeed feasible. Instead of staying here in Jizhou and being bullied by Yuan Xi, we might as well go to Liu Zheng directly. Now that we have taken refuge in Liu Zheng, we can have a bright future. Wait for it in the future." Liu Zheng's army is coming, so instead of taking advantage of Liu Zheng's command, we will be convicted for funding Yuan Xi."
Zhen Yao himself has no sense of belonging to Yuan Xi, let alone a sense of belonging, the reason why he can still swallow his anger in Yuan Xi's territory is because of the force of the situation, and now there is finally a way to change this situation, so where is Zhen Yao? If there is anything else to think about, he directly agrees with what Liu Zheng said.
However, Zhen Yao is not the head of the family, he cannot decide the future of the Zhen family, only Zhen Yan can.
Zhen Yan thought more about it. Even though Zhen Yao had agreed, he still had to think it over.
"Third brother, things are not as simple as you think. In the current situation we are in, even if we want to seek refuge with Liu Zheng, it is impossible to pass under Yuan Xi's nose."
Zhen Yan didn't speak very clearly, but Liu Zheng knew the concerns in his heart.
Chapter 882 I Have a Plan
"Patriarch Zhen Yan is worried, how can he seek refuge with His Majesty Liu Zheng?"
After Zhen Yan finished speaking, Guo Jia immediately stood up and said something.
At this time, it was Guo Jia's turn to act.
After all, the current Guo Jia is the four major auxiliary ministers in the cabinet under Liu Zheng, and his status is here.
"you are?"
Guo Jia had been standing behind Liu Zheng before, without revealing his identity. Both Zhen Yao and Zhen Yan thought he was Liu Zheng's servant.
Now that Guo Jia stood up and spoke, I realized that Guo Jia's identity should not be simple.
At least, not as simple as a servant.
Guo Jia originally wanted to introduce himself, but before he could speak, Liu Zheng on the side immediately introduced to Zhen Yao and Zhen Yan.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce you to the two of you. This person is called Guo Jia, whose name is Fengxiao. He is currently one of the four cabinet ministers under His Majesty Liu Zheng."
Liu Zheng told Zhen Yao about Guo Jia's identity. Although it was just a brief introduction, both Zhen Yao and Zhen Yan knew Guo Jia's identity as a cabinet minister.
Liu Zheng's empire has been proclaimed emperor for so long, and some news has already spread to the north. Maybe they don't know who Guo Jia is, but the identity of the cabinet minister is comparable to that of the three princes of the dynasty.
People with such identities appear in their little Zhen family, how can this not surprise Zhen Yao and Zhen Yan.
"You are Liu Zheng's cabinet minister?"
"Guo Jia!"
"I know you, you were the one who went to Jizhou before and met Yuan Shao face to face!"
When Zhen Yan heard the word Guo Jia, she immediately remembered where she had heard the name before.
Although he had never met Guo Jia, he had already thought of something when he heard Guo Jia's name.
Seeing Zhen Yan's horrified appearance, Guo Jia smiled and nodded.
"Exactly, two gentlemen, I was ordered to come to Jizhou, in fact, I want to come to the Zhen family and discuss with the Zhen family about surrendering."
"My Majesty admires the Zhen family quite a lot, and intends to recruit members of the Zhen family, but I don't know whether the members of the Zhen family intend to join my Majesty. If the two of you are interested, we can discuss it in detail. If you have no idea, I will not reluctantly."
Since Guo Jia will reveal his identity at this time, it is obvious that he has a perfect plan and can handle some things.
Zhen Yan, who had some doubts and hesitation at first, no longer had so many worries after meeting Guo Jia.
Immediately, he asked Guo Jia.
"Mr. Guo Jia, I am naturally yearning for His Majesty Liu Zheng. If I can take refuge in His Majesty Liu Zheng, it will be a blessing to our Zhen family. But now my Zhen family is completely under Yuan Xi's control. How can I do it?" How about taking refuge under the command of His Majesty Liu Zheng?"
This is what Zhen Yan cares most about. If he can save the lives of the whole clan, he will naturally not have any doubts, and directly announces that he will join Liu Zheng.
It's a pity that this matter is not so easy. He needs to make sure that everything is safe before he can make a decision.
Otherwise, once Yuan Xi finds out, it will lead to disaster and endanger the lives of the whole family.
"I know Patriarch Zhen Yan's concerns, but Patriarch rest assured, since we are here, there is a solution. Let me tell you the truth, my Majesty's army is already in Qingzhou, and will enter Jizhou at any time , I just didn’t want to lose too many troops, so I didn’t attack Jizhou directly.”
"Nowadays, Jizhou is not peaceful at all. Yuan Xi and Yuan Tan are both wolfish ambitions. They don't have the ability to sit on this piece of land. If Patriarch Zhen Yan is willing to take refuge in my Majesty, I have a clever plan to let the Zhen family live in the city. It survived this incident and made a profit."
"Sir, if there is really a way to help my Zhen family, I am naturally willing to join His Majesty Liu Zheng. Please speak up!"
"Okay, do you know how long Yuan Xi's food and grass can last?"
Guo Jia didn't hide it. Since Zhen Yan had already said that he was willing to join Liu Zheng, he said it directly.
"I estimate that in less than half a month, Yuan Xi's men's food and grass will be exhausted."
"Half a month, just right, Patriarch Zhen Yan, let me tell you, two days later, you send someone directly to Yuan Xi's place and tell him that all the three thousand stones of food and grass you prepared were robbed by Yuan Tan's men. "
"what?"
When Guo Jia said this, Zhen Yan was taken aback, not understanding why Guo Jia did this.
"Mr. Guo Jia, why is this?"
"Don't worry about why, just do what I tell you."
"At that time, Yuan Xi will definitely threaten your Zhen family again because of lack of food and grass. In three days, you will give Yuan Xi another thousand stones of food and grass. Yuan Xi dare not do anything to your Zhen family. I need to rely on your Zhen family to give him food and grass."
"Without your Zhen family's grain and grass supply, the grain and grass in his hands will not last long. The only way is to snatch the grain and grass in Yuan Tan's hands."
Guo Jia saw that Zhen Yan didn't understand why he did this, so he had to simply explain to Zhen Yan. As for whether Zhen Yan could understand the reason for doing this, that didn't matter.
It would be better if Zhen Yan didn't know clearly, after all, when he and Yuan Xi met, he wouldn't show his feet.
Zhen Yan's face was solemn, as if she was thinking about whether this matter is feasible or not.
However, the conversation has already reached this point, and Zhen Yan has no choice to retreat.
After thinking for a while in silence, he nodded solemnly.
"Okay, I will follow Mr. Guo Jia's plan in two days."
"Well, by the way, the acting must be realistic. Let your food transportation team deliberately go to Yuan Tan's site, and disclose the news to Yuan Tan by the way. Let Yuan Tan really steal some of the food, so that That's why Yuan Xi won't be suspicious."
Guo Jia added something to Zhen Yan again.
After Zhen Yan nodded, she immediately went down to make arrangements.
However, Liu Zheng, Guo Jia and others did not say goodbye and left. Since they came here to disrupt the situation, they naturally had to see the plan successfully implemented.
During these two days, Liu Zheng and Guo Jia stayed at Zhen's house.
I plan to wait until this thing is successful before finding a way to return.
In the evening, Liu Zheng and Guo Jia, led by Zhen Yao, prepared to go to the guest room to rest.
But at this moment, it happened to be a bang, and Zhen Dao returned from the outside with his two younger sisters.
It seems that he is already tired from playing, and he is leisurely returning to his yard.
I happened to meet Liu Zheng and Guo Jia and their party again, and now, these little girls became interested.
Chapter 883 Miss Zhen Family Third
"You seem to be the guests invited by the third brother today, why haven't you left yet?"
Zhen Dao, this little girl, is a little different from ordinary girls. She grew up in the north, and she really doesn't know what the word gentle is.
