Because of the shock brought by Zhen Dao, Master Zhen was startled as soon as he entered the house.

The family is beaming, everyone's face is full of happy smiles, since the news of the hussar general's intention to go north, except for the youngest daughter, who does not know the taste of the world, who in the family is not gloomy?

What's going on today?

Hurriedly asked someone, he suddenly realized, first happy, and then even more sad, even the remnants of the snow did not take off, so he hurried to his son's room, and broke in without knocking on the door, and asked: "Yixian, you tell your father honestly, what is your idea?" ”

"Where did you start with that, father?" Zhen Dao was stunned and asked in surprise.

"Don't use this image to deceive me!" Master Zhen waved his hand, signaled the servants who had chased him to step back, looked directly at his son, and asked, "Yixian, tell me, how has your father treated you all these years?" ”

"Grace is like a mountain." Zhen Dao straightened up and sat upright.

Master Zhen said again: "Although you are a concubine, can anyone in the mansion neglect you?" Even a few of your brothers-in-law are at most a little rude in their words, and they have never treated you, the younger brother, like other families, right? ”

"Brothers, friends, brothers, and respects, etiquette is also the best." The Zhen family's business is not small, but the rules are indeed not as big as those of the real famous family, if it weren't for the fact that the Zhang family in the main room pays more attention to the rules, this family would be happy. Even with the Zhang family, the Zhen family has never had any quarrels between those brothers in other big families.

"In that case," Master Zhen asked sharply, and his words were astonishing: "Then why did you want to kill them, and want to make my Zhen family all over the world?" ”

"Why did my father say that?" Zhen Dao was taken aback.

"Still refuse to admit it?"

Master Zhen pointed at his son and said in a low voice: "On that day, you said that you were going to Qingzhou to see the scenery, and I promised you." The world is in turmoil, and a family like ours always has to find a backer if we want to continue cigarettes. You cut first and then played, and got on the boat of Dongdu before letting people send a letter to the family, and I don't care about you, that is, you want to take your sister as a promotion, how can you say a word for your father? ”

He sighed, "But what are you going to do now?" Push everyone to their deaths? Although Qingzhou is strong. However, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and the expedition of thousands of miles is not justified in victory? Even if Qingzhou will win, now Liu Yu and Wang Men are determined to fight to the death, and they are worried that they will not make an example of a hundred. How can a person who sets an example care about a Zhen family? It's not wrong for you to climb the backer and compete for the first, but this timing is really ...... But you don't know what to do, as soon as you get home, you will publicize it, you, are you going to be angry with me? ”

He didn't have time to take off his coat when he entered. When he spoke, he was very excited, and when he stomped his feet and trembled, the remnants of snow on the big snow fell in a hurry, which looked very desolate.

Zhen Dao hurriedly got up. stroked his chest and back, and comforted him in a loud voice: "Father, you dissipate your anger and listen to your son's explanation......"

"What else is there to explain? Explain that you just made an unintentional mistake? Explain that you didn't know anything before you opened your mouth? Hum! Old Man Zhen snorted angrily: "You really think I'm old and confused." Can't see those tricks of yours? You have been wandering around for ten years, and I don't know your mental means? ”

"My son's belly. Naturally, he couldn't hide it from his father, but the son did this, not to force the palace, but to give the Zhen family a chance to choose. ”

"Opportunity? Still have a choice? Are you really an incompetent person who doesn't even notice such a big movement? It won't take tomorrow, he will be able to get the news tonight, and if the old man doesn't say anything tomorrow, just wait for the Zhen family to burn all the jade! ”

Saying that, Master Zhen spread his hands, fell homeopathically, and sat down on the ground: "The only way to do this is to give as much money and food as possible, to keep the Zhen family full, to keep you, a rebel, when the victory in Youzhou is clear, the Zhen family is probably also ten rooms and nine empty, what else do you mention about the hussar general?" ”

was reprimanded with a bloody dog, but Zhen Dao smiled, only to hear him ask slowly: "Father doesn't think that his son is preaching overseas benefits in order to impress people's hearts with wealth, so as to coerce you to make up your mind, use money and food and little sister as bargaining chips, and want Qingzhou to show goodwill?" ”

"Hmm......" Master Zhen was slightly stunned, and subconsciously asked, "Isn't it?" ”

"Of course not." Zhen Dao replied calmly: "Qingzhou is not short of money, the three western counties have been in Tuntian for two years, and the grain is like a mountain, General Wang can barter the goods, and there is no shortage of food, so why is it surprising to dedicate money and grain?" As for the little sister, my father doesn't know, although General Wang has a romantic reputation, but he doesn't take beauty too seriously......"

"Although the little sister has national colors, but the second daughter of the Qiao family, after the Huang family of the famous Jingxiang family, the daughter of the Mi family who served in the general's mansion, and the tiger girl of Lu Wenhou, which one is worse? In short, relying only on money and food, little sister, my Zhen family is not conspicuous among many heroes, and if you really want to serve Qingzhou, you must make miraculous achievements. ”

Zhen Dao is not self-deprecating, but it was the time he met Wang Yu, hinting that his sister was beautiful and fragrant, and when he was in the boudoir, the latter behaved too blandly, which made him lose confidence and had to think of some other way to show favor to Wang Yu.

"Miraculous? What is a miracle? Master Zhen didn't know what his son was thinking, but his heart jumped when he heard it.

"The big war is coming, what else can be called a miracle?" Zhen Dao's expression was cold, and he said word by word: "It's nothing more than offering the city and the army!" ”

"This ......" Master Zhen was so frightened that he almost jumped up.

"Father, if you think about it carefully, how can a traitor general in Wangmen be the opponent of the famous ironclad general? The son walked in Qingzhou and saw the drills of the hussars a few times, and the soldiers under the command of Wang Men were at most similar to the Qingzhou Chengguan, and the Qingzhou Chengguan was just a few people who had been trained for a few days. ”

Zhen Dao sneered: "After the royal gate occupied northern Hebei, how could he have done anything constructive?" Even if there is a real case, the hussars return in vain, and the Zhen family takes refuge in the royal family, what advantage can they take advantage of? And take refuge in Qingzhou...... Not to mention anything else, just say that the overseas mountains of gold and silver are the riches that generations can't earn! ”

Master Zhen scolded for a while, his anger had almost disappeared, and after listening to his son's analysis of the pros and cons, his mind suddenly became lively, but he still had concerns in his heart: "Having said that, how can this merit of dedicating the city and the army be able to stand up if you want to?" ”

"As long as the father is interested, the son has a plan here...... Zhen Dao stepped forward, and Master Zhen listened with his ears, and after saying it like this, he pondered for a while, and the expression on his face suddenly brightened, and he nodded in approval: "It's a clever plan, but it's going to be hard for my son." ”

"As the son of the Zhen family, he naturally shares the honor and disgrace with the family, for the future of the Zhen family, for the future of the little sister, what is the reason to endure a little hardship, please rest assured that my father will act."

……

It was late at night, and the snow had not stopped.

General Weirong's royal gate is feasting in the flower hall. It was said to be a banquet, but the atmosphere in the hall was not very good, more like a group of unlucky people gathering to drink stuffy wine.

Wang Men picked up the wine bottle, stared at the deep wine for a while, and then tilted his neck, drank the wine in the bottle, and said with emotion: "In this life, you really can't make a mistake, once you make a mistake, it's too late to turn back." ”

"But isn't it, why bother in the first place?" Jiao touched the sound of the urn and echoed the urn.

"Don't talk about these depressing things." Yin Kai picked up the wine glass and put it down, thought about it, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Wang, are we really going to attack the Zhen family tomorrow?" That's a famous family in Zhongshan, this move, in case it makes the rabbit die and the fox is sad, and when the Qingzhou army comes over, wouldn't it be bad? ”

"What if you don't do it?" Jiang Qi snorted coldly and said, "Let his family always promote the benefits of Qingzhou? The hearts of the people in northern Hebei are unstable from the beginning, and it will not be worse to be stirred up by them again? This is what they brought on themselves, and they can't blame others! ”

Although he said it fiercely, Jiang Qi didn't have much murderous energy, and when disaster came, he had no time to be ruthless to others. Thinking of thinking about it for a long time, he finally chose a dead end, like Wang Men, he just wanted to slap himself a few times, and his intestines were about to repent.

After the Hebei War, these Hebei generals who took refuge in Liu Yu were all sent to the second county of northern Hebei to accompany Wangmen. There is no intention of reuse, and there is no sign of suspicion, in short, it is not up or down, only the share of eating and waiting for death.

When the news of the Northern Expedition spread, Liu Yu decided to carry it to the death, recruiting troops and buying horses in Youzhou on the one hand, and sending people to summon Zhongshan on the other hand, ordering the royal gate to defend Zhongshan to the death. If it is to defend on one wing and attack on the other, the rebel generals may still have some hope, but although Liu Yu's attitude is very firm, the posture he makes is completely a posture of holding his head and being beaten and preparing to fight a protracted battle.

The rebel generals have suffered big losses under Wang Yu when they came, and at this moment they are even more demoralized and their morale is low, even if they talk about the topic of robbing their homes, they can't keep up their spirits.

Seeing that a wine banquet was about to end in a dull end, a personal guard suddenly turned out of the back hall and said something in the ear of Wang Men. ”

All the generals were stunned, and without waiting for the guards to walk away, they asked one after another, "Brother Wang, what is the good news?" Teach certain and so on. ”

Wang Men twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Zhen Yi tied up his son, and he came to the door to ask for guilt." ”

"Count him as acquaintances," Jiao touched his chin and asked suspiciously, "But for such a trivial matter, how can you be so happy that Brother Wang?" ”

"Brother Jiao, aren't you knowingly asking?" Wang Men smiled but didn't answer, Yin Kai had already rushed to open his mouth: "Although no one in northern Hebei has responded to Qingzhou now, it is under the pressure of our waiting, and the local heroes are waiting and watching." The Zhen family is a Zhongshan family, and his family is the first to set a precedent, so why can't he drive a group of people? ”

"Da Sima's meaning is to ask us to defend city by city, in order to consume the sharpness of the Qingzhou army, and to succeed, it will not work without the help of the powerful family. Isn't it the best example that the Zhen family first went to Qingzhou, and then switched to our army, abandoning the darkness and turning to the light? By the way, the daughter buys horse bones, and a certain person should come out to greet him personally! ”

So saying, the king got up and went out. Looking at his red-faced appearance, where is there still a half-minute shadow of his sad face before?
