Troubled Times Begin Chapter 121 Undercurrents are surging

The four counties of Jingnan belong to Lu An's base camp, but since Lu An set out on the expedition, there have been some undercurrents fluctuating, and the Taishou of several counties don't seem to notice this undercurrent, just maintaining this surface calm.

The Wang family is a typical wealthy family in Changsha County, has gone through seven generations, its family has been out of the court and the middle of the court many times, is one of the top wealthy families in Changsha, each Changsha Taishou to come to visit the Wang family before taking office, in order to get the support of the Wang family, it can be seen how amazing the prestige of the family.

However, since Lu An ruled Changsha, the life of the Wang family has gradually become difficult, first Lu An's land division policy made those small households completely give up renting their fields, and then Lu An continued to use various means to force them to buy their fields, and there is a new policy that only allows each family to have a maximum of five hundred domestic servants, which is undoubtedly completely tearing the skin of their family to suppress the family, ruining the achievements of their ancestors for generations, but the Wang family has no way, Lu An is not different from any previous Taishou, He was born as a martial artist, holding military power, and the army was as high as 100,000, if he was slightly dissatisfied, I am afraid that it would be the end of the head, so the Wang family could only curse in his heart, and could only postpone it, but did not dare to really resist, until some time ago Lu An led an army of 100,000 to Jiangdong.

led an army of 100,000 to go on the expedition, what does this mean, it shows that Lu An has brought out all the troops of the four counties of Jingnan, which shows that Jingnan is now in a state of emptiness, Wang Qi, the always shrewd head of the Wang family, immediately noticed this detail, and immediately jumped up in his heart, and he was excited for several days without falling asleep, but for the sake of safety, he still endured it for a while, just making some preparations in secret, until the news that Lu An's army arrived in Jiangdong, he completely relieved his heart, The banquet hosted the other four top wealthy families in Changsha County, and its significance is naturally self-evident, yes, it is a rebellion.

In Wang Qi's opinion, if they don't take advantage of this God-given opportunity to overthrow Lu An, sooner or later they will be destroyed by Lu An's entire family business, and they will no longer have the power to resist, and Wang Qi believes that the other four wealthy families also think like him, or that every wealthy family under Lu An's rule hates Lu An deeply.

Late at night, the heads of the other four families came to the banquet one after another, and after a song and dance heated up the atmosphere, Wang Qi drank all the subordinates and said in a low voice: "Please come here today, I think everyone should have expected a few points!" ”

"Why did the head of the Wang family say this, I don't understand!" Yan Yi, the head of the Yan family, pretended to be puzzled. The five major families of Changsha County, the Wang family, the Fei family, the Zhang family, the Yan family, and the Wu family, are led by the strength of the Yan family, and their heads are also the most cunning or cautious.

"This old fox!" Wang Qi scolded secretly, but said quietly on his face: "Why is the head of the Yan family like this, there are only a few of you and me here, you can be regarded as your own people!" Then I dare to ask, what do you think of Lu Xuantong? ”

"Hmph, ask knowingly!" Xing Xing, the family leader of the Zhang family on the side, snorted coldly. Although the other heads of the family did not speak, their faces also showed resentment.

"If you don't want to say it, then I'll say it for you! Lu Xuantong was born in poverty, so he is also close to those poor people, and he regards all these families as a thorn in the side of us, and he always wants to eradicate us, and everyone must have suffered a lot of blows in all aspects during this period of time! Wang Qi's eyes swept over the faces of several family heads, and he saw the resentment on their faces, so he directly pierced the barrier.

"What does the head of the Wang family want to say?" Wu Ziyun, the head of the Wu family, glanced at Wang Qi and asked directly. Everyone is not stupid, although they have already guessed some of Wang Qi's intentions, but things still have to be asked clearly.

"Of course, I want to discuss with you a countermeasure to save yourself!" Wang Qi smiled slightly and spoke.

"Then dare to ask the master of the Wang family what is his opinion?" Fei Shu looked at Wang Qi's confident appearance and asked. He is the head of the Fei family, and he must consider the interests of the family first in everything he does, and he must not act rashly.

"This is Liu Jingzhou's reply to me, you can take a look!" Wang Qi took out a letter from his bosom and passed it to several other family heads for them to read one by one.

"Do you want to take Changsha County and dedicate it to Liu Jingzhou?" Yan Yi finished reading the letter and asked with squinted eyes.

"It's not me, it's us, with Lu Xuantong's approach, I'm afraid that I won't have a good life in the future, and I don't even know that the ancestral foundation will be completely destroyed in his hands, since he is so unkind, do you think it's necessary to hesitate?" Wang Qi directly picked out the words to understand.

"Is the head of the Wang family completely sure? That Lu Xuantong is not easy to mess with, if the success falls short, then we will completely die without a place to bury! Fei Shu asked with some concern.

"Don't think too much of Lu Xuantong, this time he went to Jiangdong and brought out 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the remaining soldiers and horses were distributed to four counties, how many more, according to what I have found these days, now there are only 5,000 defenders in the entire Changsha County, and it is not difficult for the five of us to join forces, and it is not difficult to get together more than 10,000 people, and we can also attack by surprise and wipe out these defenders, and as long as Changsha County is taken, then Liu Jingzhou will immediately send troops to take over, even if Lu Xuantong rushes back from Jiangdong, he will face Liu Jingzhou's army, We don't have to meddle! Wang Qi sneered.

"But Liu Jingzhou once lost to that Lu Xuantong, and when Lu Xuantong rushed back, what should I do if Liu Jingzhou can't resist it?" Fei Shu voiced the concerns of the other heads of the house.

"Do you think that we in Changsha are going to make Lu An's rebellion? To tell the truth, in addition to the families in Wuling that have been completely cut into sheep by Lu Xuantong, several major families in Guiyang County and Lingling County have started to act, and the three counties are out of control when they are played, and Lu Xuantong's rear is unstable, and the army must be in turmoil, how can they fight with Liu Jingzhou, take 10,000 steps back, even if Liu Jingzhou can't resist it, we can also take advantage of this dedication to the city and move to Xiangyang in Liu Jingzhou, which is better than letting Lu Xuantong slaughter in Changsha, and the wealthy families of Wuling are the best examples, only a few years later, Now they are completely empty shells, in addition to being more grateful for wealth than ordinary people, where is there still a little bit of real power and dignity! Wang Qi said, and there was a can't help but hatred in his tone, of course, what he hated was not the person in front of him, but Lu An.

"Hearing what the head of the Wang family said, the old man was a little interested!" Yan Yi narrowed his eyes and said slowly.

As Wang Qi said, staying under Lu Xuantong, sooner or later he will become an empty shell, ruining the family business established by several generations of ancestors, and now there is a chance to bring down Lu An, so they naturally have to fight for it.

Changsha County, Taishou Mansion

Sun Shao was staying in the hall and seriously handling official business, since Gan Ning went on the expedition, he was transferred to Changsha by Lu An, the prime minister of Chang'an County, and asked Huang Zhong to assist him.

"Your Excellency!" A small colonel suddenly barged in and bowed his hand.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that the document that had just been signed in his hand was stained with some black ink because of the sudden intrusion of the little school, Sun Shao frowned and asked.

"Just now, the news came that Wang Qi, the head of the Wang family, secretly invited the heads of the other four wealthy families to the Wang family for a banquet!" Xiao Xiao looked left and right, and saw that there were no outsiders, so he whispered in Sun Shao's ear.

"Is the information true?" Sun Shao's face was solemn, and he said with a straight face.

"It's true, this is just from the spies we planted in those families." The little school is very sure.

"I know, go and help me pass General Huang Zhong over!" Sun Shao nodded and commanded.

A few days later, late at night, Wang Yan, Zhang Fei, and Wu secretly gathered more than 10,000 private soldiers, except for sending 1,000 to attack Taishoufu, the others all surged in the direction of the city wall, preparing to attack the city.

"It looks like there's no defense, let's do it!" Such a major event related to the survival of the family, the heads of several families went out in person, and after coming to the city wall, seeing that there was not much light on the city wall, Wu Ziyun was a little impatient.

"Good! When I give the order, everyone will attack the city gates and kill all the defenders! Wang Qi nodded, and was ready to give the order to attack.

"I advise you not to act rashly!" A low, but neutral voice came from the darkness.

"Who?" The heads of the five great families were shocked, and they all shouted in panic, but soon they discovered the source of the sound, on the city wall, I don't know when there was a burst of light, the entire city gate was illuminated, the head of the five great families looked at the city wall, and was shocked to find that on the city wall, it was already full of archers, and they were ready to aim at them. And among those archers, there was a strong man in iron armor, and the sound that was full of energy just now came from the strong man.

"Huang Zhong, it's actually you!" Looking at the strong man in front of him, who was very terrifying, Wang Qi couldn't help but shout.

"It's me, you better surrender! My lord has long felt that you have bad intentions, and this time you pretended to be the main force, just to lure the snake out of the hole! Huang Zhong said lightly.

What do you mean by that? What does it mean to pretend to be the main force all out? Yan Yi, the head of the Yan family, asked in horror.

"It means that my lord has actually left 50,000 soldiers and horses to defend the four counties of Jingnan, but he is just secretly hiding, just to guard against you wolf ambitions." Huang Zhong kindly gave them a puzzle.

"This, I will die today and there is no place to bury!" When the heads of several major families heard this, their faces immediately turned pale, what is the concept of 50,000 elite soldiers, even if they are evenly divided into the four counties of Jingnan, there are more than 10,000 in Changsha County, plus the defenders of Changsha itself, there are almost 20,000, and they are all elite soldiers in a hundred battles, which are not a little stronger than their family's private soldiers.
