Wangjiazhuang, which is a hundred miles away from Zhaojiabao, is where the ancestral business of the Youzhou Wang family is located.

According to the tradition of clan inheritance, the Wang family also has several hereditary titles in the imperial court, but the Wang family is very withered, and the successors are almost all mediocre and incompetent, in the increasingly fierce struggle for power and profit in the imperial court, there has been almost no victory, and two vital positions have been lost, so the current Wang family has weakened and declined in Youzhou in terms of power and influence.

Now the rising Zhao family is in full swing, almost becoming the emperor of the soil in this area, the people are squeezed hard, and these families are also suppressed everywhere, and now, it is even more taking advantage of the imperial court to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army, allowing large households to organize the name of the township brave, and directly established two thousand township warriors, the yellow turban is gone, but they have not disbanded, and they continue to expand under the pretext of local inappeasement, and their hearts can be understood.

With these two thousand tigers and wolves, the Zhao family began to encroach on the surroundings, and now, the fields and forces of the Zhao family have been pressed to the edge of the Wang family's main house, which can be regarded as bullying under the nose of the Wang family, but the Wang family is weak and cannot resist at all, so they can only swallow their anger.

And the Zhao clan is even more fearless, and also forced the clans around the country to form a Lianzhuang meeting, meeting in one place is in difficulty, must be supported from all sides, if the breach of contract, everyone will work together to fight, this is simply to regard other clans as his subordinates.

When the Zhao family lit the beacon fire and called on the Lianzhuang Association to rescue, the patriarch of the Wang clan who was lying on the roof to observe was nervously looking in the direction of the Zhao family, although it was a hundred miles away, the old patriarch did not have clairvoyance, let alone a telescope, and he could not see the battle in front of Zhaojiabao at all, but the continuous beacon fire had changed from black to real yellow wolf smoke, which showed that Zhaojiabao was dangerous.

In fact, the messenger of the Zhao family had already arrived last night, explaining that the rebels of Lu Peng had attacked Zhaojiabao, and the Zhao family needed to be rescued, which made the head of the Wang family very difficult.

This is not a bandit attacking the Zhao family, this is an official army attacking, as for the Zhao family's Lu Peng is a rebellious official army, it is just that he is covering up people, he is not a fool, the news is quite well-informed, and the state capital also has his own eyes and ears, who Lu Peng is and what background, everyone knows it.

Lv Peng and Liu Guanzhang jointly established Xiangyong, turned to Youzhou Qingzhou, and relieved the siege of Youzhou Qingzhou, its brave wisdom is impressive, and then voted Zhu Huang Pu Song, participated in the destruction of Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Army, and returned to Youzhou for thousands of miles.

Even if he takes 10,000 steps back and says that Lu Peng really rebels, he will not rebel after leaving the city, and he will rebel directly in Youzhou City, and then take over Youzhou, wouldn't it be more successful? Everyone knows how rotten the officials and soldiers in Youzhou are, Lu Peng's 4,000 battle tigers can make those scum-like officers and soldiers disappear in a blink of an eye as long as they snap their fingers, why bother with this mystery?

Therefore, the Zhao family's rhetoric is definitely nonsense, just fooling everyone, but everyone is not being fooled.

According to all aspects, the Zhao family offended Lu Peng, or simply offended Liu Yan, and now Liu Yan is justifiably going to kill the Zhao family.

"Dad, should we save it or not." The son, who was standing under the house and waiting for his father's orders, asked the father on the roof with his face up.

The patriarch of the Wang family sighed: "This Jade Emperor and the Lord of Yama are fighting, but it will hurt us people in the world." He climbed down the ladder to the roof, shook off the dust on his body, and said to his son, "Let's go to the ancestral hall." ”

The ancestral hall of the royal family is located in the center of the royal family set, and only qualified people can enter, and today the representatives of each house gather together, ready to listen to the instructions of the patriarch.

The patriarch came in with the future patriarch, everyone got up to greet each other, and the patriarch asked everyone to sit down with peace of mind, and then said to everyone: "The Zhao family was attacked by the government, and sent people to ask for help overnight, and just now the beacon fire has also turned from black to yellow, it seems that the Zhao family can't support it, let's talk about it, should we rescue or not?" ”

After saying this, he didn't look at everyone, so Shi Shiran picked up the tea soup and took a sip - salty.

The first to stand up was the future patriarch, the son of the current patriarch: "Dad, do you need to say this, of course you won't save it." ”

His own family is not dealing with the Zhao family, and it's too late to see that he is unlucky, save him? Could it be that your head has entered the tea soup, salty (idle)?

The patriarch glanced sideways at his future successor: "Why don't you save it?" ”

This son said confidently: "The official army encircles and suppresses the Zhao family, the reason is in the official army, if we rescue, it will be a confrontation with the government, and when the Zhao family is destroyed, turn back and be accused of rebellion, it will fall on our heads, and when the army invades us again, we will die without a place to bury." ”

For this reason, the representatives of each room nodded and said yes, you can have Xiangyong to be a small warlord to protect yourself, but you must not really use knives and guns with the central court, big man, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, if it comes, it will be the end of the death of the clan, this must not be done. If you really do that, it will be a tea soup in the brain - confused.

Approved by most of the people in the clan, the son of the patriarch was proud, and said with a gloating mood: "Their Zhao family has bullied our neighbors with their power, and it has not been a day or two. ”

Looking at his simple-headed son, the old patriarch secretly shook his head in his heart, it seems that he still needs to teach him well, otherwise in the future, he will put the life and death of this whole clan in his hands after a hundred years, and he is really not at ease.

After his son finished speaking, the old patriarch asked slowly: "What if the official army can't break through Zhaojiabao?" ”

This question was asked to everyone present at that time, can the official army break the Zhao family? Is this possible?

The old patriarch said leisurely: "Zhaojiabao has been repaired by the Zhao family for several generations, the wall is really high and thick, and the guarding equipment is very sophisticated, at the same time, they have two thousand soldiers of their own family, and there are three or four thousand long-term tenants and servants to participate in the guard. ”

After being analyzed like this, everyone began to hesitate again.

To save or not to save? It's an almost philosophical question.
