Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 200 28 Generals of Yuntai ([-])

family meeting
"We can give the Wuhuan people the straw mats used by the patients infected with the plague, and let them be infected with the plague, and Wuhuan will be destroyed."

"No, our purpose is to obtain livestock. If we do this, the livestock will also be infected with the plague, and Liaodong is too close to Wuhuan, so the plague will be transmitted back to Liaodong."

"Are we really going to continue to make concessions to the Wuhuan people?"

"Gathering the strength of the four major families and the soldiers of Liaodong County, can we sweep the Wuhuan people away from Liting?"

"It should be possible to gather five or six thousand cavalry and tens of thousands of infantry, but they are still no match for Wuhuan. Wuhuan should have more than 3 cavalry, right?"

Everyone was discussing and discussing how to deal with the Wuhuan people.

Naturally, it would be the best if you can directly sweep the caves and rob them hard. The problem is that Wuhuan still has [-] to [-] cavalry, so he shouldn't be able to rob them by force.

It was Wang Ling who proposed to use the plague to eliminate the Wuhuan people. She was a doctor of the Wang family. She used Japanese people to conduct medical experiments on Fangzhang Island on weekdays, and gained more medical technology progress through experiments with living Japanese people.

Sweeping holes in the court of the Wuhuan people is not allowed in terms of strength, but the Wang family's children are not very willing to give in to the Wuhuan people so that they can earn less.

"Can you unite merchants from the three counties of Yuyang, Shanggu, and Liaoxi to form a chamber of commerce and jointly sanction Wuhuan?" Wang Bian, the heir of the patriarch, said.

Competing with merchants from other counties, although the strength of the four major families can compete, it seems unnecessary.

If you can monopolize, why do you have to compete? Do you think you earn too little?
"In case Wuhuan sends troops south in a fit of anger, our Liaodong will certainly be able to stop it, but what about the other counties? What if they choose to withdraw from the chamber of commerce because they can't stop Wuhuan?" someone questioned.

The alliance of the Chamber of Commerce is too fragile, and it is easy to disband when encountering a little setback.

"So, we need to persuade the warlords in Liaoxi, Yuyang, and Shanggu counties to use their military power to join the chamber of commerce and protect the interests of the chamber of commerce. In return, they can naturally share something. "Wang Bian continued to explain: "If there is still no other way at that time, it is not too late to choose to give in to Wuhuan."

"Will they choose to join the Chamber of Commerce?" someone worried.

"In the face of absolute strength, if they still want a piece of the pie, they can only join us." Wang Bian explained: "As long as we first defeat the merchant forces in other counties in the competition, and then wait until they When you are in despair, how can you not agree to extend a hand of cooperation to them?"

"We've already defeated them, so is there any need to cooperate?" A family member continued to ask.

"Of course it is necessary. As the saying goes, a centipede is dead but not stiff. A temporary failure can make a comeback. Facing the merchants from the three counties who always want to make a comeback, we can only make concessions to Wuhuan in the trade, and the loss outweighs the gain. .”

Wang Bian's words were well-founded, and even if they failed, the Wang family would have nothing to lose, they would just earn less.

The 70-year-old Patriarch Wang Yan looked at his little granddaughter and smiled kindly: "If you have no objections, then do as I said."

"Yes." The crowd responded.

Two-thirds of the children attending the meeting were women, and only one-third were men.

I don't know why, but the birth rate of male children is getting lower and lower, so that many important positions in the family can only be held by women.

After the children of the family calmed down, the head of the family, Wang Yan, said, "Now let's discuss the next thing, the matter of recruiting the princes of the Central Plains."

There is not much interest in this topic.

No matter who the emperor of the Central Plains is, it has nothing to do with the Wang family, and they don't want to get involved.

"Wang Lang from Handan, Zhang Bu from Qingzhou, Peng Chong from Yuyang, and Liu Xiu from Xindu, they all sent envoys to want us to join Liaodong. Discuss, who should we join?" The Jiacheng said.

"Aren't we already attached to the big men of the Green Forest Army?" Someone asked in confusion.

A few months ago, the envoy of Emperor Liu Xuan of the Green Forest Army arrived in Liaodong first, and an imperial decree demanded that Liaodong directly return to the Han court.

Knowing that the Green Forest Army had invaded Chang'an City and that Liu Xuan had become emperor, the four major families in Liaodong directly joined the great Han established by the Green Forest Army after a brief discussion.

"I heard that the Red Eyebrow Army has moved westward. The Red Eyebrow Army is extremely ferocious. It was once the main force against the Xinmang Army. Can the Green Forest Army stop the Red Eyebrow Army?"

"The Green Forest Army sits in the middle of the pass, and they are in danger, how can they not resist the Red Eyebrow Army?"

"This world will definitely be unified by the Green Forest Army. Our royal family should be loyal to Liu Xuan, so that we can also be a dragon after Liu Han reunifies the country."

"That's not necessarily true, maybe the Red Eyebrow Army will unify the world?"

"Even if the Red Eyebrow Army unites the world, we must not join the Red Eyebrow Army. I heard that the Red Eyebrow Army kills powerful people and divides the fields in the Kanto counties every day. How can we take refuge in such a force? Do you think we are dead?"

"There are so many forces in the world, and no one knows who will unify the world. Maybe some inconspicuous force will unify the world. For example, Liu Xiu from Xindu, Hebei. I heard that he defeated Xinmang's 42 with [-]. He is a military genius who will definitely rule the world, why don't we go to him, and we can also be a dragon in the future?"

"Don't talk nonsense, Liu Xiu has thousands of people, and they are all a group of county soldiers. They are only second-rate troops in the whole world. Liu Xiu's soldiers can't beat our Liaodong county soldiers. No matter how powerful he is , how can it be possible to rule the world with thousands of weak soldiers? Don't stand in the wrong team, and be hated by the emperor who can truly rule the world, or continue to serve Liu Xuan honestly. From the current point of view, it is only the green forest The army has the best hope of unifying the world!"

"Zhang Bu from Qingzhou, I have come into contact with him before, he is a man of great talent and boldness, and he is a person worth relying on."

"Take refuge in Zhang Bu, it will be more convenient for us to go to Qingzhou to do business in the future."

"I heard that Wang Lang is the illegitimate son of Emperor Cheng. Emperor Cheng has a blood relationship with my Wang family. Why doesn't he attach himself to Wang Lang?"

"Wang Lang is just a charlatan, you have all been deceived by him!"

Everyone insisted on their own words, and what they said made sense.

Whoever wins, the Wang family will help.

The question is, who will win?

The Wang family doesn't know, the four big families don't know, and the whole world doesn't know.

If you stand in the right line, you will be able to feel like a duck to water in the new dynasty.

If you stand in the wrong line, you will have to walk on eggshells in the new dynasty.

"Everyone, no matter who can rule the world, it is not something we can consider right now. What we have to consider now is to establish a chamber of commerce and obtain cattle and horses from Wuhuan for a long time."

"So, cooperating with Yuyang prefect Peng Chong is our only choice. Among all the princes, only he is the closest to Wuhuan, and only he can help us deal with Wuhuan."

Wang Bian thinks that it is not necessary to care too much about who can rule the world. He should solve the current problems well and develop his own strength with peace of mind. When a force that can unify the world appears in the future, he can just surrender directly. , but at least not to become a sinner of the new dynasty, not to the extent of walking on thin ice.
