『Chapter error, click here to report』

Le'an's Zhao family is also a century-old family, they have no chance to join Lu Peng's grassland spoils conference, missed the opportunity for development, think about the current development status of the Bohai Gao family, and feel even more regretful, originally the two families are good, several generations are sons and daughters, but the Gao family has left themselves far behind, has faintly become a prince, and their own family has begun to decline, how can this not make this patriarch anxious?

In order for the two families to continue to connect, and for the two families to compare with each other, this time Le Jin proposed a way to attack Lu Peng's Xinyang and share the huge potential benefits of Xinyang, so this time the Zhao family almost did their best to join.

As a result, things did not go as he imagined, just after the attack began, Xinyang became a bottomless pit, constantly consuming the family armament of the family.

This is like gambling, the first chip is thrown, but the result is swallowed, in order to get back the capital, you need to continue to invest in the chips, so constantly invested, keep falling into, the result is deeper and deeper. Knowing that the deeper and deeper they get, everyone thinks that they can get back the capital with a little more effort, so they have to invest again, for example, now the Zhao family has invested all their 3000 family weapons, but they must also invest, there is no way, the patriarch of the Zhao family issued a recruitment of tenants, and once again formed a thousand family arms, took out the last savings, and prepared to make a last fight.

"I don't know if we can save our capital this time, and if we continue to invest like this, our family arms have been completely wiped out, and the young and strong people in the tenants will be invested again, and the young and strong labor force of our entire family will be completely wiped out, and the vitality of the family will be completely damaged, and if you want to recover, it is absolutely unrealistic to have ten or eight years, so now the elders of our family have decided that the decision of a gambler like you who does not want to die, and resolutely disagree with the young and strong tenants in the family to be thrown into that bottomless pit." The head of the ten elders of the family, this time he paused his cane and firmly stopped the decision of the patriarch of the family.

"Uncles and uncles, now that the front line has reached the point of life and death, whoever can add the last strength will be able to achieve the final victory."

"What you said is light, we tried our best to the last hand, thinking that as long as we add a little more chips, we can exchange for an absolute victory, but what about Lu Peng? Those businessmen who support Lu Peng are also doing their best, constantly putting their weapons into it, canceling each other, you are an immortal. ”

"Don't look at us, we've done our best, but the businessmen who support Lu Peng, they're about to run out of energy, now it's just to see who can take out the last chip on the table and completely break the enemy's psychological defense." The patriarch of the Zhao family kept bowing to the old and young masters: "Old and young masters, I have to tell you now, now is the time for us to break the cauldron, because we have no way out, and everyone doesn't want to think about it, this war, we have been involved, Prime Minister Cao Cheng wins, we will get huge benefits, and once Prime Minister Cao Cheng loses, Lu Peng wins, what awaits us?" ”

Everyone stammered.

Now everyone is beginning to regret that they were involved in this war, it was the interests that blinded everyone's eyes, Cao Cao won, everyone will participate in a feast of sharing the spoils, let their family prosper, and slowly infiltrate Cao Cao's group, and finally realize the family's goal of controlling the entire Cao Cao group, turning the family into a gate valve.

But now that I think about it, how naïve my thoughts were at the beginning, because this time they realized that the thing of war is not to determine the standard of victory in a war by who has the number of troops in their hands, but because the real righteousness has begun to achieve the key to determining the outcome of the war.

Receiving a lot of help has already been shown in Lu Peng, and no one thought that those mercenary businessmen would suddenly become so desperate to help Lu Peng, and put a steady stream of troops into this huge whirlpool, and it seems that it is not exhausted.

At this time, all the families sadly saw a reality, that is, I don't know when this started, when Lu Peng was fully supporting the merchants, the family had declined, and the power of the family was being replaced by the rising businessmen, although they did not have the right to speak in politics now, but they had achieved an absolute advantage in the economy. For example, in this war, the family members took out the family arms composed of their own family's servants, and finally were forced to take out their own tenants to form an arm, which has exhausted the family funds of the family family.

However, as for the merchants, at the beginning, they also took out the armament composed of their own family servants, but after these were exhausted, they began to take out countless money, and hired those dead soldiers in the rivers and lakes among the people, and there must be brave men under the so-called heavy reward, and as a result, under the endless money of these merchants, there was a steady stream of dead soldiers to join their ranks and fill in a huge flesh mill.

His own people and servants and tenants died, and the soldiers of his own great families were exhausted.

But the merchants, the dead soldiers hired with a huge amount of money, are still in the battlefield in a steady stream, as long as the business is running, they will get profits, as long as the merchants have interests, they can use this profit to continue to buy people's lives and continue to add to this flesh mill.

Who consumed whom in the end? In fact, this is already clear at a glance.

"Although this is already a clear thing, but we have been involved, we must insist, otherwise in the future, Lu Peng will win, and we will launch a counteroffensive, think about it, since Lu Peng's debut, if there is a wealthy family that disobeys his wishes, which one will really have a good end?"

Being reminded by the patriarch like this, all the elders gasped, thinking about Lu Peng's methods to the family at the beginning, they all felt a chill in their backs.

The patriarch wept bitterly and said, "I know that I made a wrong decision, but is there a chance to regret it now?" Without it, we can only go one way to the dark. Then he wept bitterly: "If God gives me a chance to repent, I will not hesitate to die to apologize." ”

The entire Zhao family ancestral hall completely fell into a kind of desperate tragedy.

But at this time, a young disciple hurriedly rushed in regardless of the family etiquette law, and before the patriarch could scold him, he excitedly reported a news: "The king of the Shangshu of the Youzhou Ministry of Rites asks to see him." ”

This report was like a lightning bolt in the dark sky, bringing a ray of light to the fate of the entire Zhao family.
