Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1209: Open Disasters and Hidden Danger

Just as Chen Zhi was heading south, entering Xuzhou, and getting closer and closer to the river, and was about to confront the Jiangzuo court across the river, this news came like snowflakes.

The Jiangzuo court can be said to be overwhelmed, but the people who deal with these matters have changed from court princes to Wang Dun's staff.

But their pressure has not been relieved by this. To be precise, if the princes are in power and face the Xuanjia army coming in large numbers, or even Chen Zhi personally leading the army, they will inevitably be frightened, but they will not be in a hurry, because they know that there are With the great justice of the imperial court and the kindness of the late emperor, I could still use this name to go over and talk to him at the critical moment.

Even if it doesn't work, the family can still be saved. After all, even if the Northland Xuanjia Army really has any thoughts, it is not to destroy Jiangzuo, but to dominate the world. The unlucky ones are also the royal family, not the aristocratic families like them.

But Wang Dun's staff is different. They are very clear that once they are really about to be attacked, there is really no luck at all, and they are very likely to be killed directly.

Therefore, in the past few days, there are often situations where staff members collapse from exhaustion due to too much pressure. Many people even come to Wang Dun and want to hint to him that it is best to find a compromise. If it doesn't work, just let him It doesn't hurt to be healthy.

However, Wang Dun didn't say anything every time. Until the number of times became too many, it seemed that he was too disturbed, so he sent an order to summon all the staff under his command and gathered them together.

"I know that after hearing the news from the north these days, all of you are uneasy." Wang Dun looked around at everyone and pointed directly to the topic as soon as he opened his mouth. "Many people even came to me and expressed this You want me to take a step back, but you didn't expect that this situation was achieved with great difficulty. Once I give in, it will be a defeat in an instant!"

At this point, he took a deep breath and then continued: "Many people don't understand now why I want to attack Jiankang, but now looking back, what would have happened if we had stayed in Jingzhou?"

After hearing this, everyone's expressions changed, and each of them looked a little bitter and unnatural.

"Jingzhou has been captured by the Xuanjia Army!"

Wang Dun said what everyone was thinking.

"If we are still in Jingzhou, can we withstand Xuanjia's offensive? I'm afraid not necessarily!" He sighed, shaking his head helplessly, "Although we are focusing on attacking Jiangzuo, we have been operating in Jingzhou for many years, and That is my base, so I put a lot of people to guard it, but it only lasted a few days. If it were me and the others who were stationed there personally, I'm afraid it wouldn't be much different, and we might even be trapped to death. No chance of reversal!"

After hearing this, many people began to nod, acknowledging that this was indeed true.

"My previous attack on Jiangzuo was based on luck. I felt that Chen might still be concerned about the court and the emperor, but now it seems that I still don't understand him well enough." When Wang Dun spoke, his expression gradually became gloomy, "Write to There was no response to several of this man’s letters, but in the end he raised a large army and came without worrying about anything happening to the emperor. In this case, we can only prepare for the worst!"

Everyone heard it, some sighed, some lamented, but some were determined.

Then someone came up and said, "Many people in the aristocratic families in the city have been making noises recently. Do we need to keep a close eye on them?"

"How to care?" Wang Dun sneered, "I'm afraid that the families that have not taken any action are in the minority, right?" He waved his hand, "Let them go and ignore them! Could it be that at this time, they can have other ideas? I just want to contact the Chen family and preserve the vitality of my family. As long as we keep the communication channels of all parties, we don’t have to worry, and we can also get a lot of information from the letters exchanged between these people."

The people below nodded silently after hearing this.

However, they also knew very well that Wang Dun's words sounded free and easy, and he seemed to have grasped the key, but in fact it was a helpless move.

Although Jiankang City has fallen into the control of Wang Dun and others, it is just an occupation. As the last stronghold of the major families of the New Han Dynasty, the relationships inside are really intricate, the personnel are even more complicated, and it affects the world. Everywhere, networks of relationships are layered upon layers.

Although Wang Dun's soldiers and horses are relatively powerful and have a large number of people, even if they are all dispersed and go deep into each house to supervise, then the entire army will have to be dispersed, which is really difficult to do, so he can only choose this compromise. means.In the final analysis, the major families did not recognize his power as Wang Dun at all. They were just forced by the sword, so they temporarily bowed their heads and tried to get them to cooperate.

Wang Dun's choice currently seems to be the most likely to be implemented.

But he didn't know that although most of the many families were planning outside, there were also those who were willing to take risks and achieve great achievements.

Just when news came from the front line, it was said that on the night when Chen Zhi's troops left Xiapi and continued southward, two groups of people came in and out of a courtyard of the Yu family, marched through a secret passage, and finally ended up deep in the courtyard. Secret meeting.

"I've seen Mr. Zhang."

One of them was the current head of the Yu family, Yu Liang. The person he stood up to greet was Zhang Ying of the Zhang family.

Zhang Ying waved his hand and responded: "You don't need to be polite, Mr. Yu. Now you and I are working for the champions, and there is no distinction between seniority. In the north, only talents are selected, and the imperial examinations are used to select scholars. We should always remind you not to mess with this." .”

Yu Liang praised: "Mr. Zhang is worthy of being Mr. Zhang. I am beyond my generation to know you so well! Please!"

After being polite, these two people with strange stances exchanged a few words.

At first, they were enemies of Chen Zhi, but later they were frightened and chose to join the Chen family. During this period, there were all kinds of difficulties. The two of them had to keep a low profile and paid a high price, and finally they were able to achieve their wish.

Since then, they have been able to relax and concentrate on working for the North.

When Zhang Ying was in Guanzhong, he originally wanted to avoid trouble and leave Guanzhong in advance, but in the end, in order to make meritorious service in front of Chen Zhi, he held back and just asked his sons to be transferred in advance, while he took his two sons to Guanzhong. Collect intelligence and set traps for the two kings at the same time.

After the fall of Guanzhong, this man followed most of the aristocratic families to Jiangzuo, hoping to repeat his old tricks. Only when he got there did he realize that he could not be ranked here at all, and a large number of families had already defected to the north.

Among them, the most influential one is actually Yu Liang's Yu family. The two were in similar situations at the beginning, but after going back and forth, they actually became friends and often conspired together.

After the two of them sat down, they immediately talked about the purpose of their meeting.

"The Champion is going south. This is a God-given opportunity. In the future, when Xuanjia is unified, China will have a chance to become stronger. However, the current Holy Emperor and the Champion have a friendship after all. When the time comes, the two parties will inevitably worry about each other and compromise. As time goes by, there is no guarantee that accidents will not happen. I’ll still think of a way to eliminate hidden dangers!”

Yu Liang said lightly, and Zhang Ying narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly.
