Chapter 184: The Family's Choice
The four of them are the most powerful family heads in Anqiu City.
The head of the Wu family in the south of the city frowned, a little impatient, "Master Su, since you have invited us here, if there is anything, you should say it directly!" ”
The head of the Su family, who also lived in the south of the city, hesitated, looked at the head of the Sun family in the east of the city and the head of the Guo family in the west of the city, and found that they were both looking at themselves, obviously they were also of the same opinion, and they were also waiting for their answers.
The Su family master pondered for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "I'm ready to welcome the allied army into the city!" What do you think, three heads of the family? ”
The head of the Wu family was stunned, a little surprised, but the other two family heads seemed to have guessed, their expressions did not change, and they remained the same, but they also made others unable to guess what they thought!
The head of the Wu family was a little puzzled, "Why?" I heard that this Donglai Sushang is not very friendly to us big families, and the big families of Donglai County have been forced to quit their fields by him, and they have lost a lot. ”
The head of the Su family looked at the three of them and sighed, "Actually, I don't want to!" I also know that Donglai Sushang is not very friendly to the big family, but there should always be a way to live, better than Jiang Shanhe! ”
"The head of the Su family is right!"
The face of the Sun family master changed slightly, and he agreed, "This Jiang Shanhe is too ruthless!" For a long time, for the safety of the family, our family in Anqiu City has provided Meng Haigong with how much military salary, grain and grass, but this Jiang Shanhe has wiped out the three largest families in Anqiu City because of a little thing, and now these three families are only orphans and widows left in the side branches. ”
After speaking, the head of the Sun family sighed, "What if you have more land, sooner or later you won't be able to keep it!" ”
"I'm just worried about this!"
The head of the Su family said worriedly, "According to my estimate, the reason why Jiang Shanhe destroyed the three major families was not because the head of the three major families was disrespectful to him, but because he took a fancy to the property of the three major families, and he wanted to stand on his own Meng Haigong, but he didn't have enough strength, so he destroyed the three major families and used the property of the three major families to recruit troops!" I'm afraid that his ambitions will grow bigger and bigger, and sooner or later he will attack us! ”
When the other three heard this, their faces changed dramatically in an instant, and after a while, the head of the Wu family spoke again: "So the head of the Su family wants to welcome the allied army into the city and drive Jiang Shanhe away!"
"Yes!"
The head of the Su family sighed, "Although Su Shang is not too friendly to the big family, but it is better for him to abide by the rules, as long as the big family acts according to the rules he set, he will not go to the trouble of the big family again, and the land he receives is not high." I also heard that he attaches great importance to commerce and has introduced new farming methods, which can greatly increase the yield of the land, and the loss of returning the land can also be made up for by commercial trading and increasing the yield of the land, and we will not necessarily lose something! ”
The four of them were silent, and after a long time, the head of the Guo family, who had been listening quietly, spoke to break the silence, "I agree with the decision of the Su family master to welcome the allied army into the city!" ”
Then the head of the Wu family and the head of the Sun family also nodded in agreement, and the head of the Su family looked at the three of them and took out a roll of parchment from his arms, "Since the three heads of the family agree, then please sign on it for all three!" After that, we'll discuss how to welcome the Confederates into the city! ”
This is a letter of cooperation guarantee from the four great families to welcome the allied army into the city, the faces of the three of them changed slightly, but they quickly returned to normal, and they didn't say anything more, they all picked up the pen and ink ink that the head of the Su family had prepared a long time ago, and signed and pressed their handprints on the parchment scroll!
The head of the Su family rolled up the parchment and stuffed it into his arms, and said solemnly: "The three heads of the family have signed their names, and we are the ones who sit in the same boat!" I'm going to tell the three heads of the house about my plan now! ”
The faces of the three of them were also much more solemn, and their names were signed, and this matter had already become a major event related to the life and death of their family.
The Su family master motioned for the three of them to get closer, and said in a low voice: "Three family masters, this alliance army is now stationed outside the southern city, and the defense of the southern city gate is also the tightest, so I plan to open the west city gate at five o'clock tomorrow night and welcome the alliance army into the city from the west gate!"
"Can the Su family master contact the allies now?" The head of the Guo family was a little puzzled.
"Can't!"
The head of the Su family shook his head, "That's why I'm looking for you." My family can't do this alone, I need the help of the three family heads! ”
The head of the Wu family was a little anxious, "Master Su, what are you going to do, you better say it directly!" ”
"From what I have observed, I have found that the guard of the West Gate is a bit greedy for money, and I plan to sell him. However, in order to prevent accidents, we must also organize a private army of at least 500 people. ”
The head of the Su family paused, and continued: "With this private army team, we can ensure that in the event of an accident, we can still welcome the allied army into the city as planned, so that the four of us will not fall into a catastrophe!" However, my Su family only has a private army of one hundred and fifty people, and I still need three family masters to send a private army team to help! ”
The three of them nodded in agreement, and they all expressed their willingness to send a private army of one hundred and fifty people!
"As for the matter of contacting the alliance army, it depends on the Sun family master!"
The head of the Su family turned his eyes to look at the head of the Sun family, "Master Sun, you have a pigeon farm outside the city, I heard that you still have two pairs of beloved pigeons, and you have to go back and forth between the Sun family and the pigeon village several times a day!" ”
"Yes!"
"That's good! We can write the news on a small piece of paper and tie it to the pigeon's leg and let them take the news to the pigeon, and then the pigeon people will report to the Confederates! ”
"Is that okay?"
The head of the Sun family was a little puzzled, although he kept pigeons and liked pigeons, he never knew that pigeons could be used to convey information!
"Yes! I've heard that pigeons are used to transmit messages in the area of Nanhai County, which is as convenient as the falconry of the grassland people. However, the pigeon can carry less things, and it is necessary to seal the note with something so that it does not get wet with dew! ”
The master of the Su family explained in detail how to use carrier pigeons, and then asked: "I just don't know, is the person in charge of your pigeon farm reliable?"
"Reliable! Both of his sons are in the ranks of the private army! ”
"That's good! You'll get the word out early tomorrow morning! To prevent accidents, it's best to use both pairs of pigeons! ”
"Good! I understand! ”
"That's it! We will all go back now and prepare, and at the third watch tomorrow night, we will lead the private army team to meet in the small forest southwest of Xicheng! ”
After speaking, the head of the Su family specially added, "This is a major matter related to the life and death of the family, and the three family heads should also pay attention to confidentiality!" ”
"Understood!" The three replied in unison.
The four heads of the family immediately stood up and hugged their fists to say goodbye to each other......
Is the overlord of the late Sui Dynasty good-looking?
