Just when Chen Zhi went all the way south, walked into Xuzhou, and got closer and closer to the river, and was about to confront the Jiangzuo court across the river, the news came like snowflakes.

On the side of Jiangzuo's court, it can be said that it is overwhelmed, but the people who deal with these things have changed from the princes of the court to Wang Dun's staff.

But their pressure has not been reduced because of this, to be precise, if the princes are in power, in the face of the Xuanjia army coming in a big way, or even Chen Zhi personally leading the troops, it is inevitable to be frightened, but they are not in a hurry, because they know that there is a great righteousness of the imperial court, and the kindness of the former emperor, and they can still use this name to explore the wind at the critical moment.

No matter how bad it is, it will be able to keep the family, after all, even if the Northern Xuanjia Army really has any ideas, it is not to destroy Jiang Zuo, but to dominate the world, and it is the royal clan that is unlucky, not their big families.

But Wang Dun's staff is different, they know very well that once they are really going to be attacked, it is really not a fluke, and it is very likely that they will be killed directly.

So in the past few days, there are often staff members who are tired because of too much pressure, and even many people find Wang Dun and want to hint to him that it is best to think of a compromise solution, but it really doesn't work, even if you let Jiankang go.

However, every time Wang Dun didn't say anything, until the number of times was too much, it seemed that he was overwhelmed, so he sent an order to go down and gather all the staff under his command and gather together.

"I know that after you learned the news from the north in the past few days, you are all restless," Wang Dun looked around at everyone, and directly pointed to the topic as soon as he opened his mouth, "There are even many people who have come to me here, expressing such thoughts, wanting me to take a step back, but you didn't expect that this situation is also hard to win now, once you retreat, it will be a situation of defeat in an instant!" ”

Speaking of this, he took a deep breath before continuing: "Many people don't understand why I want to attack Jiankang now, but now I look back and see, what would be the situation if we were still in Jingzhou? ”

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed, and one by one's faces became a little bitter and unnatural.

"Jingzhou, but it has been captured by the Xuanjia army!"

Wang Dun said what was in everyone's hearts.

"If we are still in Jingzhou, will we be able to resist the Xuanjia offensive? I'm afraid not! He sighed, shook his head a little helplessly, and said, "Although we are focusing on attacking Jiangzuo, we have been operating in Jingzhou for many years, and it is my foundation place, so I put a lot of people to guard it, but the result is only a few days, and if we are stationed in person, I am afraid it will not be much different, and we will even be trapped in it, and there is no chance of reversal!" ”

Hearing this, many people have begun to nod their heads, admitting that what they said is indeed true.

"I attacked Jiangzuo before, and I was also holding a fluke, thinking that the Chen family might still be worried about the court and the emperor, but now it seems that I still don't know him well enough," Wang Dun's expression gradually became gloomy when he spoke, "I wrote a few letters to this person, and I couldn't respond at all, but he also raised a large army to come, and he didn't worry that the emperor would have an accident at all, since this is the case, then I can only plan for the worst!" ”

Everyone heard it, some sighed, some sighed, but there was also the determination.

Then someone came up and said: "Recently, there have been many movements in the city family, do you want to take strict care?" ”

"How?" Wang Dun sneered, "I'm afraid it's a family that doesn't move, but it's a minority, right?" He waved his hand, "Let them go, don't pay attention!" Could it be that at this time, they can still have other ideas, nothing more than to contact the Chen family and preserve their vitality, as long as they keep the communication channels of all parties, they don't have to worry, and they can also get a lot of information from the correspondence between these people. ”

When the people below heard this, they nodded silently.

However, they also knew very well in their hearts that Wang Dun's words were free and easy, quite atmospheric, as if he had grasped the key, but in fact it was also a helpless move.

Don't look at Jiankang City has fallen into the control of Wang Dun and others, but that is just an occupation, as the last stronghold of the major families of the New Han Dynasty, the relationship inside is really complicated, and the personnel are even more complicated, and it affects all parts of the world, and the relationship network is layered.

Although Wang Dun's soldiers and horses were relatively strong and numbered, even if they were all dispersed and went deep into each family to supervise, then it would be necessary to disperse all the troops, which was really difficult, so he could only choose this kind of compromise.

In the final analysis, the major families did not recognize his power at all, but they were forced by the sword soldiers, so they temporarily bowed their heads and wanted them to cooperate, which was a fantasy.

Wang Dun's choice, at present, seems to be the most likely to be implemented.

It's just that he doesn't know that although most of the many families are seeking to go outside, there are also those who have the intention to take risks and establish a meritorious achievement.

On the night when news came from the front line, saying that Chen Zhi's soldiers and horses left Xiapi and continued to go south, in a separate courtyard of the Yu family, two groups of people came back and forth, marched through the secret passage, and finally met secretly in the depths of the courtyard.

"I've seen Gong Zhang."

One of them is Yu Liang, the current head of the Yu family, and what he got up to greet was Zhang Ying of the Zhang family.

Zhang Ying waved his hand and responded: "Yu Jun doesn't need to be polite, you and I are now doing things for the champion Hou, there is no distinction between qualifications, then the northern land is meritocracy, and the imperial examination is a scholar, and we should always remind us not to mess with it." ”

Yu Liang praised: "Zhang Gong is worthy of being Zhang Gong, I don't know you like this!" Please! ”

After being polite, the two people with strange positions exchanged two words.

At the beginning, they were all enemies of Chen Zhi, and then they were frightened, and they all chose to take refuge in the Chen family, during which there were all kinds of difficulties, and the two of them did enough to have a low profile, and paid a lot of price, and finally they could get their wish.

Since then, they have put their minds at ease and concentrated on doing things for the Northlands.

At the beginning, Zhang Yingzhong wanted to avoid trouble in advance and leave Guanzhong, but in the end, in order to make meritorious contributions in front of Chen Zhi, he endured it again, and just let his sons transfer in advance, and he took his two sons to collect intelligence in Guanzhong, and at the same time set up the two kings.

When Guanzhong fell, this person came to Jiangzuo with most of the families, and wanted to repeat his old tricks, but when he arrived at the place, he realized that he was not ranked here at all, and a large number of families had already taken refuge in the north.

Among them, the most influential is actually Yu Liang's Yu family, the two were in a similar situation at the beginning, they came and went, they actually had a friendship, and often conspired.

When the two of them sat down, they immediately talked about the purpose of this meeting.

"Champion Hou goes south, this is a God-given opportunity, in the future Xuanjia will be unified, and Huaxia will have a chance to be strong, but today's saint, after all, has a friendship with the champion Hou, and then the two sides will inevitably worry about each other and compromise, after a long time, it is difficult to ensure that there will be no accidents, and we will still think of a way to eliminate hidden dangers!"

Yu Liang said lightly, hearing Zhang Ying's eyes narrowed and nodded slightly.
