Chapter 226: The Storm Rises (1)

Yiju City, where the Shidao County Administration is located, is located in the north-central part of Shidao County, more than 100 miles away from Beiguan City, it is the most populous and economically developed city in Shidao County, and it is also the only city in the entire county that has not been conquered.

Because there is a wealthy family of the Cui family in Yizhou City, it originates from the Cui family of Qinghe County in the Tang Dynasty, although it is a branch, it is also a first-class wealthy family. Cui's shops and fields are all over Changzhou.

Cui Daoheng, the head of the Cui family, is the current county governor of Shidao County, and his words are more effective than the county guard in Shidao County. When the Nanyi people attacked, the county guards fled, and it was precisely because the Cui family came forward to recruit tens of thousands of villagers to block the attack of the Nanyi army.

Cui Mansion

"Father, the young general has a letter, he has personally commanded 100,000 Great Qin Iron Cavalry to enter Fengdu County, and he will arrive in Yizhou City in three days!"

Cui Shiyuan hurriedly stepped into the study, holding a letter and saying to Cui Daoheng excitedly.

"Oh? Is it really a reply from the Major General? ”

Hearing this, Cui Daoheng's face also showed excitement, and he took the letter in Cui Shiyuan's hand

"Haha, I don't want the major general to be so fast, my Cui clan is happy!"

When he saw the stamp of the small seal font below, Cui Daoheng finally couldn't suppress the joy in his heart and laughed loudly.

100,000 Great Qin Iron Horsemen, who can stop Changzhou!

"Father, at present, the Qin army has not yet completely occupied Chongzhou, there are still hundreds of kilometers away from Shidao County, and the three kingdoms of Ancient Shu, Shu, and Later Qin in the west are also at war, is it really appropriate for us to take refuge under the command of Great Qin at this time?"

Seeing that his father was so excited, Cui Shiyuan on the side suddenly felt a trace of worry in his heart.

Although Great Qin is powerful, after all, it is too far away, and Gongsun Jie and Gongsun Jie will not easily let the Qin army enter the country, and it may even affect the Cui family.

"Haha, yes, from the bright side, my Cui family's move is taking a big risk, and one mistake is a disaster!"

Hearing this, the smile on Cui Daoheng's face became even more comfortable, and he looked at Cui Shiyuan Dao with a look of praise.

Thinking about defeat before winning is a quality that the superior must have, and the eldest son who has been carefully cultivated by himself finally has a little enlightenment.

"However, that's because you don't know enough about Great Qin, and you don't have a clear enough view of the situation in the entire Shu Dao. The Great Qin Tiger is located in Yongliang Erfu, with a vast area, tens of millions of people under his rule, and most of them are tigers and wolves in the northwest, and there are millions of tigers and wolves in the army. Your Majesty is the first emperor of the ages who created the history of China, and there are many capable ministers and fierce generals in the court, who can stop this trend?

Although the war between the Great General and the Three Kingdoms has not yet ended, several successive wars have exhausted the national strength of the Three Kingdoms, and it is only a matter of time before they are defeated. In this situation, there are 100,000 iron horsemen of the major general, and the generations of Gongsun and Gongsun Jie dare to embarrass us, as long as we help the young general to take the entire Changzhou, it will be a great achievement! ”

Cui Daoheng's face showed a confident smile, and he said with a bit of heroic momentum.

"But, father, according to our spies, the Southern Wang Army in the south has defeated the Nanyi Army and occupied Beiguan City!"

Although Cui Daoheng's words were heartfelt, there was always a shadow in Cui Shiyuan's heart that could not be dissipated.

"The King of the South? How can a person who is willing to be in the company of barbarians succeed! ”

Cui's family originated from the surname Jiang, the ancestor was passed down as Jiang Taigong, all dynasties were the family of Gongqing, a first-class wealthy family, and reached its peak in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and was recognized as the world's first high-ranking family in the world, the hand of the northern wealthy family.

Born in such a self-proclaimed orthodox high-ranking lord, Cui Daoheng naturally had an instinctive rejection of Sima Yu, who was known as the barbarian king, on one side was the powerful Great Qin Empire, and on the other hand, the remote barbarian forces, Cui Daoheng naturally chose the former.

"By the way, haven't you heard from your sister yet?"

When it came to the king of the south, Cui Daoheng naturally thought of the little girl who ran away from home, and the look on his face instantly darkened, and he suppressed anger in his words.

Cui Daoheng's youngest daughter is Cui Ying who Zhou Cang rescued outside Erli Village.

mentioned her Cui Daoheng's anger in his heart did not hit one place, in order to resist the marriage with the major general Wang Ben, not only quietly ran away from home, but according to Zhong Ion, he was also involved with Zhou Cang of the Southern Wang Army, and Cui Daoheng, who got the news, was so angry that he almost didn't mention it in one breath.

"Father! There is no news of my sister yet! ”

Seeing Cui Daoheng's anger, Cui Shiyuan's heart couldn't help but tighten, and he gritted his teeth and said softly.

In fact, Cui Shiyuan had already received the letter sent to the mansion by Cui Ying, but he didn't dare to tell Cui Daoheng and quietly hid the letter.

The two siblings have had a very good relationship since childhood, and now Cui Daoheng is at the height of his anger, and he will slow down to tell him the news of his little sister.

Hearing this, although Cui Daoheng still had anger in his heart, a look of worry flashed in his eyes, and the expression on his face changed for a while.

"That's it! Don't mention her, you quickly send someone with my name to inform the other families, and tomorrow I will have a banquet for them in the mansion to discuss the ownership of my Yiju City and Shidao County!" ”

However, soon, Cui Daoheng let go of the worries in his heart and turned to Cui Shiyuan to command in a deep voice.

In Yizhou City, although the Cui family is a dominant family, the strength of the other families should not be underestimated, and it is better to communicate with them first for this kind of major event.

"Father, don't worry, I'll do it!"

Seeing that Cui Daoheng was no longer entangled in Cui Ying's matter, Cui Shiyuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and left briskly and quickly.

"County Captain, Master Su has arrived!"

"General Liu Yun has arrived!"

"Prison Imperial History, Lord Feng has arrived!"

。。。。。。

On the second day, it was almost noon, and in the roll call of the servants of the palace, several figures in power in the city of Yiju rushed to the Cui Mansion one after another.

Su Ze, the county lieutenant of Shidao County, Liu Yun, the commander of the 30,000 Xiangyong, Shi Fengru, the supervisor of Shidao County, and the other three wealthy merchants in Yizhou City, these people are all the top people in the entire Yizhou City and even Shidao County, especially the status of the county lieutenant Su Ze used to be on par with Cui Daoheng.

Su Ze, about 40 years old, has a thin figure, a long beard, and a pair of narrow Danfeng eyes.

As the county lieutenant of Shidao County, all the 10,000 county soldiers in the county are under the jurisdiction of Su Ze, and Su Ze, who was born in the border army, also firmly controlled the military power in his hands.

However, with the defeat of Gongsun Shu's southern expedition and the invasion of the Nanyi army, Su Ze had to choose a compromise.

It was agreed that the Cui family would pay money and grain to recruit Xiangyong to resist the Nanyi army, and the commander of the army would be Liu Yun, a close confidant of Cui Daoheng.

After repelling the Nanyi army, with the support of 30,000 villagers, the strength of the Cui family surged, making the power in Yizhou City unbalanced, except for the 3,000 cronies in Su Ze's hands, the rest of the county soldiers were all thrown under the command of the Cui family, completely controlling the power of Yizhou City.

As Cui Shiyuan came to the banquet room, looking at Cui Daoheng, who was standing on the main seat and signaling to them, Su Ze seemed to think of something funny in his heart, and his face couldn't help but show a trace of inexplicability.

The Cui family, the owner of Yizhou City, has a good shelf, but it's a pity that he was happy too early!
