Kure has four major families.

They are the Lu family, the Gu family, the Zhu family, and the Zhang family.

However, these four families are all from Wu County, the capital city, and jointly control all walks of life in Wu County, as well as the defense of various cities.

Originally, the four families were safe, but with Lu Kang's southward journey, after Lu Xun worshiped Xu Ding as his teacher, the four families of Wu County began to change slightly.

Especially after Wu County was included in Xu Ding's rule, and Sun Shao and others switched to Xu Ding, the Lu family faintly surpassed the other families in terms of reputation and other aspects, and had the potential to become the first family.

This made the Zhu family feel a crisis.

So the Zhu family has been secretly planning some things, and after Xu Gong left, the Zhu family's power began to surface.

After a small meeting of the main figures of the Zhu family that night, the children of the Zhu family were gathered in the ancestral hall.

"Everyone, the preliminary preparations have been completed, and tonight is the time for Wu County to change, and Xu Gong's army must be defeated in Huiji and die in the west.

Whether our Zhu family can sit firmly on the chairs of the four major families of Wu County depends on tonight. The head of the Zhu family looked at the children of the Zhu family in the hall and said with great relief.

"Family master, is tonight's action only our Zhu family? Aren't the other two families involved? A child of the Zhu family asked.

If you want to suppress the Lu family and control Wu County, it seems that it is not enough to rely on one Zhu family, you have to pull the Gu family and the Zhang family to make Sun Shao and Lu Kang, who are close to Qu, dare not act rashly.

After all, the three major families joined forces to be the heaven of Wu County, and what Xu Ding wanted was a stable Wu County, and the Donglai Army would definitely not dare to mess around, and would not easily raise troops to march.

The head of the Zhu family said: "Tonight's actions are only our Zhu family, you know it, the Gu family is not reliable."

Gu Yong of the Gu family is a disciple of Cai Yong, although he has not been to Qingzhou, but he has always maintained contacts and has a close relationship, he is actually the first traitor of my Wu County. ”

When the children of the Zhu family heard this, they all expressed their approval.

Gu Yong's guy is indeed Cai Yong's disciple, and Cai Yong has also written many times to recommend him to come and go to Donglai, but this guy didn't go, but he didn't explicitly refuse, and he has been staying in Wu County under the pretext that his parents are not far away.

Xu Ding did not have the habit of being forced to stay, even if his power extended into Yangzhou, he did not care about Gu Yong.

However, the relationship between the two sides has not been broken, and the exchanges are also close.

Therefore, the Zhu family naturally did not dare to pull the Gu family.

"Head of the family, since the Gu family is not involved, why is the Zhang family not involved, could it be that the Zhang family is also being co-opted by the Lu family." Another child asked.

The Gu family is still forgivable, why did the Zhang family not participate in the plan, as far as their Zhu family is concerned, this work is very difficult.

Xu Ding's army is eyeing Qu'a, if the Sun family's soldiers and horses can't quickly advance to the city, they are in danger at any time.

The head of the Zhu family said: "Don't you know that the Zhang family's group of hypocrites who have a false name and cherish their wings? Everything has to be famous, only those who will be famous, and regard reputation as more important than the ancestral tomb, and it is absolutely not done without the participation of the other two major families, so don't count on the Zhang family, this battle is only our Zhu family.

Although it will be a little hard, the harvest is also huge, and if it turns out, our Zhu family is the first family of Wu County, and the industries and forces of the Lu family and the Gu family will be cleared. ”

"Good! Overturn the Lu family and the Gu family. ”

Swallowing the Lu family and the Gu family's industry, the children of the Zhu family were suddenly excited.

"The head of the family, has the Zhu family been contacted?"

The surname Zhu is a family in the world, the Zhu family in Wu County will do it, and the Zhu family in Danyang County should also respond to help.

The head of the Zhu family showed a smug smile: "Of course, this time it is the Zhu family who is leading the way, we are in Wu County, they are in the old town, control the Wucheng area, and completely block Xu Gong in Yuhang and other places." ”

Although it is subordinate to Danyang County, Wucheng, which is adjacent to Wu County, crosses the border with one step.

Sun Jian is a native of Wucheng, as long as he plays the banner of the Sun family, Wucheng County will immediately fall over.

Therefore, the head of the Zhu family dared to act only with this layer of insurance.

"Since we have support nearby, then we can try it, how can we be willing to do it without a game."

"That's right, as long as we act fast enough to take down the Lu family and the Gu family, are we still afraid of Sun Shao and Lu Kang of Qu?"

Seeing that the soldiers were available, the head of the Zhu family immediately said: "The disciples of the Zhu family listen to the order, tonight we will be divided into three batches, and we will be ...... in turn."

announced the plan and assigned the backbone of the manpower, and the people of the Zhu family acted according to the plan, and set off from the ancestral hall with the manpower, and went to the Lu family, the Gu family, and the county government.

As for the city defense army, there are those who are attached to the Zhu family to control and seize power.

"Kill!"

The attack on the government was the first to start, and it was also the most smooth.

Although Xu Gong's henchmen were wary, but they couldn't stand the soldiers of the government on patrol, they had the secret sons of the Zhu family, helping the Zhu family to unite inside and outside, and easily opened the door of the mansion.

The children of the Zhu family who rushed into the palace cut people when they saw them, and soon cleared out Xu Gong's henchmen.

The Lu family's mansion!

The vermilion gate was closed, and the surroundings were quiet, and the occasional north wind mixed with the chill hit the face, making people's nervous faces tense even tighter.

The Zhu family touched lightly, glanced at each other, and one of the commanding people said: "Knock open the gate of the Lu family, remember that the children of the Lu family can capture as much as possible, don't get hurt, it's best not to kill the descendants of the Lu family."

Don't worry about the others, but there is resistance to kill directly! ”

Sun Jian still didn't dare to hurt the Lu family, so he sent Lu Kang out of the county.

Xu Ding is a knife hanging above his head, the Zhu family can seize power to control Wu County, and even seize the Lu family's property, but he must kill the Lu family's descendants, and it is estimated that Xu Ding will not be so polite.

Even if Xu Ding doesn't retaliate, Lu Xun's family will retaliate when he grows up.

Therefore, the Zhu family had to pay attention to it and explain clearly to the children of the family and the soldiers.

Ten people rushed to the front with a piece of log sharpened at the front, and the pointed part was also covered with iron, which was a small and medium-sized striking log, which was used to hit the gate of the house in the city.

"One, two, three...... Bump! ”

Ten people hugged the bumping wood, counted to three, and slammed the bumping wood into the closing place of the Lu family's gate with all their might.

Seeing that the collision wood was about to hit the door of the mansion, the ten wrestlers were ready to swallow the reverse force, but suddenly the door of the Lu family's mansion exploded.

Ten wrestlers rushed fiercely, suddenly there was no load-bearing, and they rushed forward by inertia against the wood, and the ten people couldn't retract their strength, they kept up, and then tripped over the threshold with their feet.

All ten fell down in unison, and then found a wail.

The children of the Zhu family outside and the soldiers were also blinded for a while.

What is the situation, the door just opens.

"Shoot!"

At this moment when they were blinded, they saw two torches lit up in the gate of the Lu family, and then dozens of bows and crossbows were facing outside the gate.

With a shout, crossbow arrows and bows flew out.

"Puff puff ......!"

In addition to the carelessness of the Zhu family and the soldiers, they were shot one after another and fell countless times.

"Flash!"

The clever ones reacted quickly and hid on both sides, and those who came back to their senses shot arrows into the gate of the Lu family.

Just as he finished shooting the first arrow, dozens of figures suddenly appeared on the courtyard wall of the Lu family, each of them also holding a bow and crossbow, holding a torch outside, and shooting towards the Zhu family's children who were extremely eye-catching.

"Puff ......!"

There was another sound of arrows hitting the flesh, and countless private soldiers of the Zhu family fell, howling miserably.

"The Lu family has already taken precautions and retreated ......"

The Zhu family's private soldiers waved their weapons in their hands, knocked out the arrows they shot, and dragged their injured or fallen accomplices out of the block.

With the retreat of the Zhu family, then there were several tragic calls at the gate of the Lu family, and then everything returned to calm, the gate of the Lu family was closed heavily, and the figures on the wall disappeared without a trace.

Except for the corpses and weapons lying on the ground outside the door, and the faint light from the falling torches, it was as if nothing had happened.

"Damn! The Lu family guessed that we were going to attack their mansion, and there was an ambush for a long time! ”

The children of the Zhu family, who had palpitations, scolded and scolded.

"What should I do now, the main gate of the Lu family is not easy to fight."

"Why don't you go to the back door, the Lu family is guarding the main gate, the back door must be weaker, let's enter from the back house first, and we should be in harmony with the inside and outside."

"I think it works!"

The gossip Zhu family agrees with this suggestion.

The man of the Zhu family, who attacked the Lu family, said: "Okay! You go to the back door to wipe, I will cover for you at the front door to attract the attention of the Lu family, remember not to be impulsive, attack if you can, don't rush if you can't attack.

I believe that it will be easier for the government and the Gu family to come to the side, and when they come to reinforce us, they will be able to swallow the Lu family. ”

With the permission of the person who bears, a young disciple of the Zhu family led people to the back door of the Lu family.

It was also quiet, without a single sound.

"Come three people, fold your shoulders and climb up to take a look!"

walked in front of a sullen loss, this time the Zhu family was obedient, and sent three Zhuang family members, two of them were below, and one person was sent up to climb the courtyard wall.

This family member patrolled with his eyes and whispered: "No, I didn't see a figure in the black light!" ”

"Good! That's great! The Lu family left the gate in the light, but they didn't expect that we would be flexible to break through the back door. ”

"Jump in and open the back door."

The man who heard the order jumped in.

After a few moments, the back door opened.

The children of the Zhu family were overjoyed, and then urged the private soldiers of the family to rush in.

It was only after rushing in that they found that the soldiers of the Lu family, who were dressed in black and attached to each other, with only a pair of eyes exposed, and a bow and crossbow knife in their hands, were eyeing them around.

"Kill!"

"Puff ......!"

Suddenly, countless screams came from inside the courtyard, and the children of the Zhu family outside realized that they had been ambushed again.

At the same time, the back doors of the two Ming houses behind them were also opened, and the men with sharp weapons rushed out, and then fought towards the Zhu family team.

The private soldiers of the Lu family in the courtyard of the Lu family also rushed out and joined the siege.

"Report! There was also an ambush in the backyard of the Lu family, and our people were ambushed again, and they suffered heavy losses, so they were surrounded by the Lu family and hurried to support. ”

"What, there's an ambush in the backyard too." The losers of the Zhu family in this team were also anxious when they heard this, and rushed over with people.

…………

Gu family mansion!

The sky was nearly dark, and the night was deep and cool, Gu Yong was still thinking.

Seeing that there was a young man sitting in the hall who was not as weak as a weak crown, Gu Yong still said with some disbelief: "The Zhu family shouldn't do anything to my Gu family, are you too careful, Hou Ye is too thoughtful, I still say the same thing, I will not leave Wu County for the time being, I hope Hou Ye can understand." ”

The weak-crowned young man sitting in front of Gu Yong didn't look at his thin figure, he was slender and not burly, but he made a good swordsmanship, and he made countless contributions at a young age.

This person is Xu Ying, Wang Yue's youngest apprentice, and is now the captain of the ground network action team that the Yangzhou side is responsible for carrying out the operation.

This time, the task is to cooperate with Tianluo to protect the Lu family and the Gu family of Wu County and smash the conspiracy of the Zhu family.

In view of the fact that the Gu family's estimation of the situation was seriously insufficient, he personally sat in the Gu family to protect Gu Yong.

He has a wealth of experience in this area, and when he was in Huanghai County, he and his senior brother Shi A protected the process Yu.

"It's coming!" The corners of Xu Ying's mouth curled slightly, then he reached out and grabbed the sword on the table, got up and walked out of the hall.

"What's coming? What do you mean? Gu Yong asked twice, but when he saw that Xu Ying did not respond, and he followed, he heard the chaotic sound in the city, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

Soon, a figure flashed on the courtyard wall of the Gu family, and then this figure came to Xu Ying's eyes, only to see him clasping his fists and worshipping: "Captain, the people of the Zhu family are here." ”

Xu Ying turned around and said, "Are you Gu family ready, the Zhu family has come over." ”

"What? Does the Zhu family really want to do something to my Gu family? "So far, Gu Yong is still a little unconvinced, because the Zhu family has a good relationship with his Gu family, although it is not as good as the Zhang family, but it is also closer than the Lu family.

If the Zhu family wants to seize power and deal with the Lu family, it is reasonable, what does it mean to do something to my Gu family.

"It seems that the Gu family is not good at being rude." Xu Ying glanced at Gu Yong, immediately shook his head, and then said to his opponent: "Shoot the arrow, intercept and kill it halfway, lest the Gu family faint when they see blood." ”

"Me!" Gu Yong clenched his fists angrily, Xu Ying's words were too hurtful, is my Gu family so unbearable?

Don't you question you a little more, as for sarcasm, he can't kill people in the Gu family, and he can't see blood.

Of course, he didn't know that Xu Ying was not sneering at him for questioning himself, but that Gu Yong didn't correct his mentality, didn't correct the position between him and Xu Ding, and despised Xu Ding.

Humiliating the monarch and his ministers to death, that's probably it.

Gu Yong, you are just Cai Yong's disciple, not Cai Yong's son, just give your Gu family a little face, don't be too self-conscious.

Xu Ying didn't pay much attention to Gu Yong, and led people to climb over the wall of the courtyard and leave.

Looking at these ghostly ground network personnel, Gu Yong's heart was also mixed.

What kind of troops is this under Xu Ding, the martial arts are so strong, and any one of them is ten times stronger than his Gu family.

"Someone! Guard the gate, if someone really attacks our Gu family, don't be merciful to kill me! ”

"It's the head of the house!"

In the Zhu family's team, which was approaching the Gu family, suddenly a sixteen-year-old Zhu family disciple moved his ears and raised his eyebrows and said, "Stop, wait, the situation seems to be a little wrong!" ”

The leader of this team said, "What's wrong with Hume? What's wrong? ”

This young man is a descendant of the Zhu family, called Zhu Huan, and he is considered Chu Qiao among the younger generation of the Zhu family, so he is very favored by the elders.

If someone else interjects at will, it's time to scold.

Zhu Huan glanced ahead and said, "It's too quiet!" ”

"It's so quiet, isn't it all so quiet at night?" The person in charge was a little suspicious, what kind of reason was this.

Zhu Huan said: "No, you heard that the east of the city and the capital city in the city are at war, and there is a faint shout to kill the city, at this time the city should be alarmed, why is the west of the city so quiet, there is no movement in the Gu family's house, as if waiting for us to pass." ”

The four major families live in the four directions of Wu County, and the government is in the center, forming a pattern of co-governance.

Now that the government and the Lu family have taken action, the Gu family should react a little.

Silk!

"Withdraw!" The loser is not stupid, and suddenly has a bad premonition.

Their way was not the main direction, so there were not many people, only more than 200 people, just to force the Gu family to surrender, or to surround the Gu family, not let them go out to ask for help, and launch an influence.

"Hahaha, I don't want to have a capable person in the Zhu family, but do you want to come in a hurry now?"

Just when the Zhu family wanted to retreat, suddenly countless people with bows and crossbows appeared behind the street and on both sides.

"Kill!"

After a brief look at each other, neither side had much nonsense, and they rushed towards each other with a roar.

In fact, the number of Xu Ying and others is not enough to wear the Zhu family.

However, they were equipped with much better weapons, and with the addition of a three-sided siege, the crossbow had a wider range of attacks.

At the same time, the martial arts of the people in the ground network are higher, and the handover of short soldiers is more advantageous on the streets that are more conducive to them.

Xu Ying himself was like a ghost wandering between the enemy and me, one sword at a time, rushing towards the person in charge of the Zhu family, and stabbing him and capturing him in just two moves.

"Death!"

Seeing that the person in charge was restrained, Zhu Huan waved his knife to repel a ground net officer, and then jumped and slashed at Xu Ying, who kicked the head of the Zhu family with a heavy kick.

The person fainted instantly, and Xu Ying took advantage of this to flash to the side.

Zhu Huan bared his teeth and cracked brightly, and when he swung his knife horizontally, Xu Ying raised his sword to block, and his figure flashed, reaching Zhu Huan's flank, and then holding the sword and stabbing it.

Zhu Huan also reacted quickly, with a body and a knife.

However, he didn't hit, and as soon as Xu Ying's sword was retracted, he stabbed at Zhu Huan's other side.

Zhu Huan hurriedly retreated and waved his knife to block it.

Xu Ying took advantage of the situation and stepped forward, dancing in a sword style, and launched attacks again and again.

"Poof!" Two sounds, Zhu Huan's body added two wounds.

In close combat, it was obvious that he was not an opponent, and the sword technique of Xu Ying on the opposite side was much stronger than his sword technique.

"Surrender, you don't have to kill your Zhu family, on the contrary, your Zhu family can change your way of life and make different contributions to the Han family."

"Huh! Surrender, don't think! ”

Zhu Huan is only sixteen years old, and it is the time when his qi and blood are the most vigorous and his temper is the most violent, how can he be willing to surrender, holding a knife and roaring to rush up.

It's just that at this time, two Zhu family disciples attacked Xu Ying, and one of them said: "Hugh Mu, you are high in martial arts, go and inform the family master!" ”

Zhu Huan, who rushed halfway through, was stunned, only to see two people in the clan waving weapons and pestering Xu Ying to buy time for him.

A trace of hesitation flashed in Zhu Huan's eyes, but in the end, seeing that the two of them were defeated in Xu Ying's hands, he gritted his teeth and turned around and ran to the end of the street, disappearing between the black.

Xu Ying injured the two, looking for Zhu Huan, and when he saw Yi to the other end of the street, he only showed a light smile, but he didn't chase them.

Soon, this group of Zhu family troops was cleaned up.

The private soldiers of the Gu family saw that there was only shouting and killing outside, and no one attacked the mansion, so they sent a team of people out to check the situation.

As a result, when he saw that all the Zhu family members on the street were taken down, he immediately ran back to report the news.

Gu Yong led the Gu family out at this time, and pointed to a member of the Zhu family to question, the man was ashamed and speechless, probably acquiescing.

Gu Yong then hugged his fists and apologized to Xu Ying: "I was rude just now, and I ask Xu Zhuangshi to bear with me, Yong is a little taken for granted." ”

Xu Ying was also a little surprised when he saw Gu Yong put down his body and apologize to him.

One of the four major families, he was able to do this, and Gu Yong was worthy of the name of Cai Yong's disciple, so he said: "Now is not the time for the Gu family master to talk about this, it is better to quickly extinguish the unstable factor of the Zhu family." ”

"What Xu Zhuangshi said is reasonable, I will let people gather people, and at the same time contact the Zhang family and other families to support the Lu family." Gu Yong nodded slightly.

With the Gu family taking the lead, they will be able to gather thousands of people, which is enough to deal with the Zhu family.

Although among the four major families, the Gu family and the Zhang family are weak, and the military force is inferior to the Lu family and the Zhu family, but the relationship network is stronger, and the appeal in Wu County is stronger.

Xu Ying said: "The Lu family doesn't need to go to support, they can do it themselves, let's go directly to the Zhu family, control the Zhu family's mansion, most of the Zhu family will have to throw a rat trap, dare not act rashly, and there will be fewer casualties among each other, Hou Ye emptied is that sentence, he wants a stable Wu County, and he doesn't want to kill more, because every Han person is a very precious person, and one more person will have more strength!" ”

Although Xu Ying didn't know what he meant by saying this, it didn't prevent him from carrying out his orders.

As for being as smart as Gu Yong, he didn't understand.

Because he didn't know Xu Ding's family background, he didn't understand the specific situation on Xu Ding's side, so naturally he couldn't really understand what Xu Ding meant.

"Great goodness! Hou Ye is still benevolent and righteous, a model for my generation, and he can't do it. According to Gu Yong's original idea, the Zhu family did something to his Gu family, and if he didn't think about the feelings of the four major families, then his Gu family would also make the Zhu family feel better, kill him if he could, and completely wipe out the Zhu family.

People are like this, if you want to make a cruel move on me, don't blame me for being ruthless.

"This kind of thing, the head of the Gu family, let's keep it and say it to the Hou Ye personally." After saying that, Xu Ying led people towards the Zhu family, Gu Yong was stunned for a while, and then immediately sent someone to follow, and at the same time explained all kinds to the family.

Mansion! At this time, he was taken by the head of the Zhu family, and he sat on the top of the hall of the mansion, which was originally too guarded.

Now that he occupies the government office, he is naturally ready to take the post of Taishou, so he is waiting for the other two roads of triumph in the government office, and at the same time, there are also major city gates.

"Report! The head of the family is not in a good situation, our people who attacked the Lu family were ambushed, and most of the losses were lost, and now we have to retreat to the government! ”

"What? What's going on?" When the head of the Zhu family heard this, he suddenly turned pale, and the little Lu family couldn't even take it, but you went to five hundred people, more than the people I attacked the mansion.

You must know that half of the Lu family's clansmen have already migrated to Weiyuan Island.

The head of the family, Lu Kang, is not in Wu County, and he is in Qu'a, and the Lu family at this time can be said to be the weakest, but you even told me that he couldn't fight it, and he was even ambushed, and he lost most of it.

"Report! The head of the family is not in a good situation, and almost all of our people who went to the Gu family were wiped out, and only Hugh Mu escaped back, and at this time he was outside the door to pierce the wound. ”

Annihilated?

How is this possible?

The head of the Zhu family stared at the person who reported the news, his hands clenched into fists, and the green tendons appeared high and prominent.

"Bring Hugh Mu in, I want to ask what is going on, and Zhu Yu, who attacked the Lu family, also brought me in, how did this loser fight."
