Fufeng Song

() Two hours later, it was night.The night was as deep as ink, and the city of Jinyang was tough and strict, and the atmosphere was very dignified.

In the continuous mansions in the east of Jinyang City, a lamp is like a bean, which flickers on and off.A few gloomy faces were reflected under the light.

"Brother, please make a decision as soon as possible!" A big man with long beard said anxiously.

Another yellow-faced scribe also persuaded: "Yes, brother, how can you make big things out of your hesitation?"

The one called elder brother was a square-faced middle-aged man in green robe.The green-robed man pondered and said: "You two virtuous brothers, it's not that the old man is indecisive, it's really a matter of great importance. The Wang family in Taiyuan has deep roots and luxuriant leaves. Brother Wang Xiandi, your branch's contacts with the Huns are just a cunning trick, even if there is a twist The damage is not harmful to the overall situation. My Zhongdu Chi family is a small family, and things are not in harmony, but the fate of the whole family is overthrown..."

A third person interjected: "Patriarch Chi, at this point, don't you still want to stay out of it?"

The green-robed man couldn't help being stunned: "Tian Sheng, I have discussed with you Wang Shishu and Gao Shishu, and the younger generation should stop talking nonsense. If the old man intends to stay out of the matter, I will not come to your Tianfu tonight."

The young man named Tian Sheng walked out of the shadow of the room with his hands behind his back, and said coldly: "This is an extraordinary time, uncle don't blame me for being rude. If uncle is determined to stay out of it, hehe, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave my humble house tonight."

"You..." The green-robed man suddenly stood up, just opened his mouth, and sat down again.He wasn't afraid of the threat of this impatient young man. The Chi and Tian clans have been close friends for generations, and this friendship cannot be shaken by shouting a few times: "Oh, my Chi clan is loyal and filial, even though my official career is not good. Heirloom of the great Chinese family, and those Huns are vicious, vulgar and ignorant, and have no faith at all. It’s fine to deal with them due to the current situation, if you join hands with them, I’m afraid you’re seeking skin from a tiger.”

The Qingpao man's name is Huan Chizao, he is from the middle capital of Taiyuan Kingdom. Although his family is not a well-known high school, it is also a prosperous family name.After Yue Shigong left the town and prefecture, he migrated to live in Jinyang, and the Chi family also came to Jinyang.

But what others don't know is that the Chi family in Zhongdu, the Yangqutian family, the Jinyang Wang family, and the Jingling Gao family have all had contacts with the Xiongnu, and they even accepted local official positions granted by the Xiongnu Han Dynasty.It's just that they acted in an extremely secretive manner, and they hid all the generals and bureaucrats under Yue Shigong's command.At this moment, Chi Zao and the other three family heads: the young man Tian Sheng, the long-bearded Han Wang Xi, and the yellow-faced scribe Gao Huaikui had a secret meeting at night, discussing the secret envoys of the Huns entering the city and ordering them to cooperate internally and externally to attack Jinyang.It's just that Chi Zao wavered at a critical moment, which made the other three very impatient.

Seeing that Chi Zao was just hesitating, Tian Sheng sneered. "If uncle really doesn't want to join hands with the Xiongnu, why did he want to accept the official position of the Han country? Now it's too late to look forward to the future!"

Chi Zao froze for a moment, and was about to refute, Wang Yan said in a deep voice: "Why do we have to argue with each other, please take a look at this thing first!" Then, he took out something from his sleeve and handed it over.

This is a pair of plain silk, which has been neatly folded into small pieces repeatedly, and when opened, it is about a foot or so square.Chi Zao concentrated his attention and looked at it, but saw that there were many words written on the silk.Just looking at the calligraphy, one can feel that the charm is vivid and smooth, the strokes are sharp and expressive, which is no less than the works of any famous master Chi Zao has seen in his life.

Chi Zao fully opened the plain silk, and said softly: "It's been a long time since ancient times to slay fierce and usurpers; hang your head on Hao Street, and you will do it sometimes. Today, the lonely king is entrusted with the task of the battlefield. Qun, long drive to take the big county, this moment of martyr's meritorious service, the autumn of good ministers' repayment, it is not worth it! Today Zhongdu Lingchi, Yangqu Lingtian, Jinyang Lingwang, Jingling Changgao, etc., stay sincerely and cooperate with each other Conspiracy relieves the worries of loneliness and comforts the lonely heart. You will not begrudge rewards, and you will be entrusted with the duties of shepherds and guards, and you will be rewarded with great honors. Those who are afraid of forcing things and submitting to their fate will not ask anything."

"This is..." Chi Zao asked in surprise with a greedy look in his eyes.

Wang Xi said: "This is a wax pill letter brought by the messenger of the Huns. It is written by His Royal Highness Liu He, the wise king of Zuo, which shows his sincerity."

Seeing that Chi Zao's face was cloudy, Gao Huai said again: "His Royal Highness Liu He is both skilled in both civil and martial arts. He is not only skilled in military affairs, but also proficient in classics and history, elegant and good at calligraphy. He is also an outstanding one among the Han family. What's more, His Royal Highness Liu He has a magnificent bearing and no doubts in employing people, this confidence is fully proved. Brother, isn't this kind of person better than the incompetent and incompetent kings of the Jin family?"

He put his hands on the case table, leaned forward and said, "Brother, the great Shan Yu Liu Yuan claimed to be the king of Han, and called for Shaoxiu to repair the Han family. The person who is plotting is big, and it is by no means a mere merger of the state. The Chi family in Zhongdu is a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, a descendant of the Yin Dynasty. The descendants of Shang have a family that has lasted for thousands of years, and they are high-ranking. But because they hated the state and Zhongzheng, they have bowed to the village for decades. Don't you want to seize this opportunity to jump into the dragon's gate?"

"If Uncle is determined not to help... Hehe... Needless to say about the current situation, tens of thousands of Xiongnu troops are waiting outside the city, and if the city is broken tomorrow, all jade and stone will be destroyed. I am afraid that there will be no such thing as Zhongdu Chi in the future." It's already..." Tian Shenghan added with a straight face, and was pulled back by Wang Hao's arm.

"Forget it! Forget it!" Chi Zao sat blankly for a while, and finally let out a long sigh.He straightened his body, gritted his teeth and said, "How do you plan to act?"

Wang Xi, Gao Huai, and Tian Sheng looked at each other and sneered secretly.

Who did Chi Zao, an old fox, pretend to be loyal to?Is he really willing to die with the city?For big families, how to ensure the continuation of the family is the most important thing.He talked for a long time, but what he said was nothing more than the promise of the Huns to the future of the Chi family.

It must be known that among the four powerful families, the Chi family is the most numerous and powerful. Therefore, in the silk script of Zuo Xianwang Liu He, the Chi family is placed at the top of the four noble families.Now that Liu He made the promise in his own hand as the virtuous king of Zuo, the old guy couldn't hold back his emotions and wanted to do it himself.

The Chi family's trilogy is superior to the other three families in terms of number and elite, and Chi Zaoren is a hidden figure; to do great things, he needs to do his best!

Wang Xi took out a map of Jinyang and laid it on the table, lowering his voice: "Chief Patriarch Chi, take a look, the total number of our four families mobilizing elites and daring to fight will not be less than 400 people. Based on this There are 400 people, and there is no intention of mental calculation, at least [-]% sure of capturing a city gate. As long as we win a city gate when the Xiongnu army is attacking the city tomorrow, and let the Xiongnu army enter the city, it will be a great achievement..."

Chi Zao glanced at Wang Yan and interrupted his words: "My dear brother, although Jinyang's military strength is weak at the moment, there are still five or six hundred defenders at each city gate. You are so sure that we can Taking down the city gate? This hard bone is not easy to chew! What's more, the Xiongnu army is ten times larger than the Jin army.

The other three asked together in surprise: "What is miraculous work?"

Chi Zao's eyes flashed, and he reached out and clicked the center of Jinyang City on the map: "There is no need to wait for the Huns to move, we will raise troops tonight and capture the Governor's Mansion!"

"The Jinyang Army currently has capable soldiers, most of which have been deployed along the city wall, and there is almost no reserve force in the city, so empty. Therefore, the four of us can take down the governor's mansion in one fell swoop, and capture Linghu Sheng and others. Officials and generals. Without the command of the central government, the Jin army at each city gate will surely be defeated without fighting; if God blesses us, maybe we can make an emergency landing in Jinyang before the Huns attack the city... This is enough in exchange for It’s an amazing feat of raising a family’s wealth and honor!”
