"Hey...."Wang Xianfu shook his head and said: "Since the death of the head of the family, they have repented of the series of cooperation I reached with the Wei family before. Right now, their Wei family is about to move, and they want to take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters to carve us up and strengthen their own heritage.

Speaking of which, this is also normal, the Ji family has made it clear that the carriages and horses will definitely be destroyed after we are destroyed, and even the Ji family has united the heroes of Lingzhou to oppress the Yizhou controlled by the Wei family. Faced with this situation, the Wei family can only snatch the benefits from us first. Therefore, it is no longer possible for us to ask for help from the Wei family.

Even the Huo family is the same, they are also deploying troops and horses to attack us. As far as the current situation is concerned, none of the princes in the world are willing to help us, they are all waiting for the Ji family to launch an offensive, and then they will come to pick up the bargains and seize our wealth and the soldiers and horses in our hands. ”

"Damn, don't they know that their lips are cold? If we don't perish, will they escape? ”

"Maybe they think that we have no value in cooperation, and think that if we completely control the power we have in the past, then we will have a greater chance to deal with the Ji family." Wang Xiansheng said: "Their plan is very simple, that is, to do everything possible to enhance their strength, and then go and slowly deal with the Ji family." If it were us, we would probably do the same thing, right? ”

"So, we're on all sides now?" Wang Xianping said: "The Wei family, the Huo family, the Ji family, and Wang Yuchang came to attack us together, where can we stop it?" ”

"If you can't stop it, you have to stop it, and now we have no way out." Wang Xianping said coldly; "If we surrender to the Wei family and the Huo family, we won't end well. Even if they don't kill us, they won't give us any more strength.

As for the Ji family, we don't want to surrender to them even if we want to. And that Wang Yuchang, this son is ruthless, as long as we surrender, I am afraid that our heads will fall to the ground immediately. So what I mean by this is that the four of us completely put aside our old hatreds and unite to fight the enemy together. One is falling, one is prosperous, it's a big deal to fight all the strength and break the net with them. ”

"I'm afraid that even if we use all our strength, we won't be able to help them, right?" Wang Xianfu is not very optimistic about Wang Xianping's statement.

Wang Xianping said: "Then what do you say to do now?" To surrender is death, and not to surrender is death. Anyway, it's a dead end, and no one else can come to our aid. In that case, can we sit idly by? ”

Faced with such a situation, the four of them were very worried and at a loss.

If you fight to the death, you will basically lose. If you surrender without a fight, your glory and wealth will be difficult to preserve, and even your wives and children will be humiliated by traitors.

More than a decade ago, or even longer, they never imagined that such a difficult situation would befall them.

Now that this difficult situation has come, they are full of remorse in their hearts, and they don't know what to do.

The four of them were furious in their hearts, and they couldn't come up with a reliable plan to defend themselves against the enemy.

Some of the juniors sitting below them, as well as their trusted clansmen, also became anxious, thinking quickly about various plans.

After a while, a middle-aged man stood up, and he said to the four people: "The current situation is extremely critical, and one of them will accidentally destroy his family." Therefore, I think we should quickly ask for help from Wang Mang. Wang Mang's soldiers are strong and strong, and he is still a member of our Wang family after all. If we go to him for help, he may not refuse to help.

In addition, the head of the family has already formulated a family development plan before his death, and he wants to move closer to Wang Mang and regard Wang Mang as the backer of our Wang family. If Wang Mang sends troops to help us retreat from the enemy, even if he deprives us of our rights and wealth in the future, he will still treat us well. In this way, we can at least save the family. ”

The person who stood up and spoke was Wang Xian'an, and he was also the chief general of the Wang family who led the army against the Xiongnu last time. He has dealt with Wang Mang and recognizes Wang Mang's ability very much. It is expected that if Wang Mang is willing to help, all difficulties will be solved.

"Wang Mang?" When the other members of the Wang family heard this suggestion, their eyes lit up and they felt that it was very feasible.

"Yes, Wang Mang is stationed in Gansu, looking at all directions, and the heroes dare not provoke. And he has a deep hatred with the Ji family, the Wei family, the Huo family and many other families. If he sends troops to help, we may not be hopeless. ”

"Wang Mang is the lord of our Wang family's Rong Mansion, and his blood flows in his body. Now that we have reached a life-and-death juncture, even if he is ruthless, he will not bear to watch our Wang family fall in the future. We asked him to send troops to Xuzhou to help, and this move was indeed feasible. ”

Everyone spoke out together, and they all agreed with Wang Xian'an's proposal, asking the lord of the four mansions to immediately repair the book and ask for help from Wang Mang.

"Him?"

The Lord of the Four Mansions shook his head with a bitter look on his face, and Wang Xianping said: "Everyone, if Wang Mang was willing to help, he would have sent troops over a long time ago." And even if he doesn't send troops, he will make a statement. But for now he is ignoring it, which shows that he has no intention of helping us.

Also, the head of the family had seen Xue Fengyi before he died, and he thought that the head of the family had also expected our situation today at that time, and asked Xue Fengyi for help, in order to ask Wang Mang to send troops for help through Xue Fengyi's mouth. In terms of the relationship between the head of the family and Xue Fengyi, since he opened this mouth, Xue Fengyi will sell face no matter what.

But now that so much time has passed, Wang Mang has not moved, and it is obvious that Wang Mang has rejected the request of the head of the family. He was not even moved by the last wish of the head of the family before he died, let alone us? When he was developing in Liaoning, we gave him a lot of face. Therefore, there is no hope for Wang Mang's help.

Also, although Wang Mang is now strong and powerful, how can he stand up to many families on his own? Even if he wanted to help us, he wouldn't dare to act rashly, right? He didn't dare to take this risk. ”

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, is it possible that we can only sit and wait?" Wang Xian'an shouted: "Since we are cornered, then we will fight to the death with those bastards." ”

"That's all there is to it for now." Wang Xianfeng said: "Wang Xian'an, you go to rectify the soldiers and horses first, and be ready for a big battle at any time." ”

"Yes, big brother." Wang Xian'an replied.

"Father, I think something hasn't been quite right lately." One of Wang Xiansheng's daughters said weakly: "Why haven't I seen the fourth and seventh brothers for several days? Where have they all gone? ”

"Huh?"

After this woman said this, the children of the other lords of the three mansions were also shocked, and they all said, "Yes, my brother hasn't seen him for a long time. ”

"Well, it's a little weird. After the death of the head of the family, we came to Xuzhou together. At that time, my sister said that she had some things to deal with and said that she would come over in a few days. It's been ten or twenty days, and she hasn't come back yet, and she doesn't even have a letter, which is not normal. It's a mess in the imperial capital, what is she doing there as a woman? ”
