was reminded by the old patriarch, everyone was silent, the fight between the families often happened, sometimes just for a few acres of land, a water source, you can fight, but more for a moment of righteousness, the fight is not convinced, there are many fights, the strength of each family is also clear at a glance, it is precisely because the Zhao family has close to five thousand real strong township warriors, so the various families, every time they fight for land and water, they are defeated, which makes the Zhao family's power continue to expand outward, At the same time, everyone also knows the combat effectiveness of the official army, which requires 5,000 to 3,000 official troops, and the official army really can't beat Zhaojiabao.

"What if you can't fight, the place of the Zhao family, is a blessing and a show of power, but in the face of the official army, it is always unsuccessful, you must know that Lu Peng is the master of a hundred battles, and the four thousand children are also from the battlefield, which is much stronger than those of us who can only fight in groups."

The old patriarch shook his head gently: "You can't say that, you have to know one thing, Zhao Shantang is so proud of his power in the local area, bullying us wealthy families, the fundamental reason is that he has several direct uncles and children who are officials in the court, and the current Taishou Liu Yan has always been at odds with the Zhao family, and it has been spread that the Zhao family is going to transfer Liu Yan away, The blow to the Zhao family, as long as it is not the emperor's holy decree, as long as the Zhao family can hold on, the Zhao family can use the power in the court to turn the tables, and when the time comes, the Zhao family will retaliate against those of us who stand by and watch, everyone here think about it, at that time, will we still have the ability to fight against the Zhao family? ”

By the old patriarch's analysis, everyone present took a deep breath of cold air, the old patriarch's analysis was quite correct, the siege of the city must be several times the number of people on the defending side to launch, but even so, a siege war is often calculated in months or longer, in such a long time, the Zhao family can completely mobilize the forces in the imperial court, drive the initiator Liu Yan back to his hometown, and replace them with people who look pleasing to the eye to do this Youzhou Taishou, at that time, That young and impulsive guy will become a scapegoat and will be punished and exterminated by the government, and those who stand by will completely get the Zhao family's ruthless blows and retaliation, thinking about the consequences, everyone immediately felt a chill down their spines, and cold sweat gurgled down.

At this time, the son of the patriarch, who was still watching from the wall, said with a pale face: "According to my father's analysis, then we should immediately send troops to rescue the Zhao family, and use this way to marry the Zhao family." ”

The old patriarch was really disappointed with his son's unprincipled and bottomless swaying from side to side, so he asked again: "Can the Zhao family hold on, can it turn around, that is still a matter of the future, now Liu Yan is still the lord of this Youzhou, once we rescue the Zhao family, we will completely break with the government, if the 3,000 officers and soldiers turn their guns to attack us directly, everyone here, are you confident that you can hold on?" Even if we hold on, do we have the ability to turn the tables like the Zhao family? ”

All the people became dumbfounded, aren't you a blind fortune teller, blocked at both ends, no matter how you say it, you can say your reason, is there still a heavenly reason?

But think about it carefully, he asked again, everyone was completely blinded, their own strength knows that in this area, they are just an inconspicuous small clan, although the fortress has also been repaired, but due to financial problems, it is simply shabby, it is still possible to block a small group of rogues, a large share of rogues can not resist, and another is that there are not many children in the clan, and the whole clan is only five or seven hundred people, if you add the slaves of each family, you can draw out a thousand people at most, In the face of the 3,000 army of the official army, he has absolutely no power to resist, even if he resists desperately, he has no foreign aid at all, to reverse this situation, and the final outcome is to die and be annihilated.

At this time, the people in the entire ancestral hall became silent, because what everyone saw seemed to be a dead knot, and no matter what they did, they couldn't untie it. And the future patriarch heir is now also pale, trembling, and at a loss.

The old patriarch finally sighed, knocked on the table and decided, "This matter is actually easy to solve, but everyone didn't think of it." ”

As soon as they heard that there was a way to solve this matter, everyone looked at the patriarch again, waiting for his orders.

"We're still going to send out the soldiers." The old patriarch continued to drink Shi Shiran's tea soup - the water that had just been mixed with it was light.

"Still going to send troops?" The patriarch's son looked at his father in amazement, not knowing what to do with it.

The old patriarch stood up and said to his son: "You immediately reorganize the family armed with 500 people, slowly lean towards Zhaojiabao, and then set up camp five miles away from the official army, if the official army asks you what are you doing?" Then you answer the official army, you are here to help the war, but you must not participate in the attack on Zhaojiabao, and once the Zhao family asks you what to do, you say that you are here to reinforce, but now the official army is strong, and there are not many people and horses, first contain it outside, and wait for the arrival of reinforcements from other ethnic groups, and then twist into a rope and attack the back of the official army, so that both sides are not offended, Zhaojiabao is destroyed, we are the reinforcements of the officers and soldiers, and if the war drags on, the Zhao family turns over, we are the reinforcements of the Zhao family. ”

Everyone suddenly realized, have to admire, ginger is old spicy, just this kind of left and right source of troubled water fishing means, absolutely not all of you here can come up with, it seems that this team leader is really not in vain, when he tasted the tea soup again, a strong ginger smell rushed to the nose.

Since he had such a decision, the patriarch's son immediately led the order to go out, and then ordered the five hundred family arms and slaves, and then began to slowly leave the village, coming to Zhaojiabao, and the daily journey was definitely no more than 20 miles, which was more than the small-footed woman.

As a result, this way, there were three people and horses, but there were fewer people and horses all the way than all the way, and the least of the people and horses was only about 100 people, and there was no armor and equipment, just like an outing, under the banner and everyone converged, at night, the leaders of the four roads sat together, laughing and listening to each other's details, but every time this question was mentioned, everyone looked at him left and right, that was really, the weather was really good, the road was really good, the cold wind was really good, anyway, everything was fine.

But because everyone didn't say their purpose, in fact, everyone knew each other's purpose, so everyone tacitly agreed, and the next day a leader fell ill, so the three families were very concerned about taking care of him, so the team stopped, as for when the leader was sick, only God knows.

But fortunately, soon after everyone's dilemma, the people sent out to listen to the news came back to report that Zhaojiabao, which was as strong as an iron bucket, had fallen, and after getting this accurate news, all the people and horses were surprised by the strong combat effectiveness of the official army at the same time, and immediately stepped up their speed, just like a rabbit with a dog behind them, galloping to the battlefield, they need to perform, they need to show their loyalty to the country to the government and the court.
