193, the king of the great summer
Beizhou City, northeast, Zhang's mansion.
The Zhang family had just gathered the family's private soldiers in the city, and before they could start the operation, they heard the news that the Xu family had captured the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion and taken Beizhou City.
Hearing the news, the head of the Zhang family was stunned for a while before he scolded hatefully:
"The governor's mansion is really a waste.
"Why is this Xu clan so strong now? Occupy the city of Beizhou in a short period of time......"
There are many wealthy families in Beizhou, but they are not monolithic, they are different from each other, and there are contradictions between each other, and the Zhang family and the Xu family have been mortal enemies for more than a hundred years, and there are often armed fights.
It's just that the strength of the two families is almost the same, and neither of them has the ability to completely eliminate each other, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind, and between the two sides, there are mutual victories and defeats.
That is, a while ago, the Xu clan seized the opportunity in this civil unrest, won the vast territory and population in one fell swoop, and after plundering the barbarian grassland, obtained a large number of materials and a huge cavalry army, which completely rose.
It has become the first wealthy family in Beizhou.
Like a big mountain, it pressed the Zhang family.
In fact, during this period of time, the Zhang family was always worried, afraid that after the Xu family accumulated enough strength, they would liquidate the Zhang family and wipe out the Zhang family.
Therefore, the Zhang family has been developing in a low-key manner recently, trying not to attract the attention of the Xu family, and on the other hand, they are working together vertically and horizontally, trying to win over some wealthy families who usually do not deal with the Xu family to form an alliance to fight against the Xu family together.
Moreover, the Zhang clan did find a huge opportunity, and the patriarch of the Zhang clan found that since the Xu family became the first wealthy family in Beizhou, the energy was too huge, and it had faintly threatened the rule of the state pastor.
This is an opportunity for Zhang.
He can take the opportunity to unite with the state pastoral government to suppress the Xu clan together, and even send troops together to exterminate the Xu clan and divide up the huge resources.
It's just that.
Before this matter was brought to the fore, the Xu clan started a battle with the state pastor's office, and after receiving this news, the Zhang family immediately began to gather the soldiers in the city, ready to help the state pastor to remove the Xu threat.
If it is possible, you can take advantage of this opportunity to wipe out the Xu family.
In this case, the mountain that pressed on top of Zhang's head could be easily kicked out.
It's just that the head of the Zhang family didn't expect that the Xu family's movements would be so fast, and the strength of the state pastor's side was so weak, and the time to resist was too short.
How else to play?
Zhang's strength was originally inferior to the Xu family, and now that he saw that the State Pastoral Mansion was so weak, it was even more than a pig teammate, so there was really no way, so he could only watch the State Pastoral Mansion fall and Beizhou City fall.
Anyway, the Zhang family has absolutely no intention of sending troops again, and now that they are sending troops, it is simply a brain in water, and they want to find death.
At this time, a clansman next to him asked:
"The head of the house.
"What are we going to do now?"
Hearing this, the head of the Zhang family shook his head slightly, exhaled a breath, and said:
"Now the Xu clan is strong, but we can't meet with their swords, otherwise, we will be caught by the Xu clan and take the opportunity to send a large army to exterminate our Zhang clan, it will be miserable, at this time, we will not touch the Xu clan's tiger whiskers, we still have to keep a low profile."
Speaking of which, he paused and continued:
"Not only that, after a while when the situation in Beizhou City is stable, I have to put down this old face and personally go to Xu's low and small, only in this way can I reluctantly reassure Xu, how can Zhang's really get rid of the danger, otherwise, when Xu's comes back to his senses and focuses on our Zhang's, I'm afraid it will be a big disaster."
"Of course, we are only temporarily dormant, and will not really be loyal to the Xu family, but to secretly wait for the opportunity, now although the Xu family has the advantage in Beizhou City, but in this northwest place, the Xu family is nothing, just wait for the Northwest Governor's Mansion of Ping'an City to react, and send the elite of the northwest border army to arrive, at that time, it is the time when the Xu family is destroyed, and wait a minute, the victory or defeat is nothing."
The head of the Zhang family has no choice, he must now bow down to the Xu family, be humble and wrong, only in this way can he temporarily keep the safety of the Zhang family.
Otherwise, with the strength and power of the Xu clan at this time, coupled with the huge contradiction between the Xu clan and the Zhang clan in the past, after the Xu clan completes the integration of the forces of Beizhou City, it will definitely clean up some unstable factors in the city.
At that time, the Xu family will definitely not let go of the Zhang family.
Moreover, the Zhang family, as the top wealthy family in Beizhou City, has a large amount of land, population, and materials, which is also a big fat meat for the Xu family.
Now that the Xu clan has raised troops to capture Beizhou City, it is like a rebellion, and it will definitely not be partial to one place in the future, and will definitely attack the city, and once the army is dispatched, it will need a large number of resources as support.
At this time, if the Zhang family is destroyed, it is also a matter of taking advantage of the trend, and there are many benefits.
Now, the Zhang family has made a decision to give up their dignity and kowtow to the Xu family, he is now going to lie deep and wait silently for the opportunity, and he believes that the opportunity will come soon.
Now, the Xu family has rebelled, and the influence of the rebellion of the wealthy family is different from those rebels, I believe that the Northwest Governor's Mansion in Ping'an City can also think that if the Xu family is not extinguished as soon as possible and the Xu family is allowed to develop, I am afraid that it will set an example for many wealthy families in the northwest, especially those real northwest families.
In this way, if someone can no longer suppress their ambitions and follow the example of the Xu clan to send troops to rebel, then the northwest will really be in chaos.
That kind of situation is definitely not what the Governor of the Northwest wants to see.
Therefore, in the face of the blatant rebellion of the Xu family, the first wealthy family, the governor of the northwest would definitely send the northwest border army to quickly come over to quell the rebellion, suppress the rebellion with thunder, and at the same time dispel the minds of some ambitious wealthy families in the northwest.
And this is his chance, he can secretly accumulate strength, and wait for the time when the Xu family is in internal and external difficulties, and instantly turn back.
Moreover, the Northwest Frontier Army descended on Ping'an City to destroy the Xu family, which was another opportunity for the Zhang family, a chance for the Zhang family to take off.
As long as the Xu family can be wiped out, presumably the Northwest Army will also beat rabbits with grass and eliminate a group of wealthy families who are close to the Xu family, at that time, there will be a huge power vacuum in the land of Beizhou, if the Zhang family is prepared, they can quickly fill these vacancies, and at that time, they Zhang can jump up, replace the Xu family, and become the new first wealthy family in Beizhou.
This head of the Zhang family can be described as ambitious and calculating.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
At this time, just as the Zhang family's thoughts were spinning and imagining to travel, a high wall made of earth and stone on the side was shattered, and in an instant, hundreds of sharp arrows came from the smoke and dust, shooting some unsuspecting Zhang clansmen into hedgehogs.
For a time, the Zhang family was in chaos and screamed again and again.
When the smoke and dust cleared, I saw Xu Zhenyuan, the head of the Xu family, leading a group of masters of the Xu family and many Xu family soldiers to break into the Zhang family's mansion.
When the head of the Gu Zhao Zhang family saw this scene, his eyes immediately turned red, and the whole person flew high, and he fought with Xu Zhenyuan, and he roared angrily:
"Xu Zhenyuan, what are you doing here?"
Xu Zhenyuan slashed out fiercely, the blazing red light burned the air, causing the surrounding temperature to rise rapidly, he grinned the corners of his mouth, and laughed maliciously:
"Old thief Zhang, are you stupid?
"I'm still blind, can't I see clearly, I'm here to kill someone."
As he spoke, Xu Zhenyuan looked around and sneered:
"It seems that your Zhang clan really has a bad plan, and you actually gather such a large number of soldiers at home, what do you want to do? Do you want to collude with the Nazhou Pastoral Mansion to deal with my Xu family? ”
To tell the truth, Xu Zhenyuan came to Zhang's to kill people this time, because he accepted Wei Fang's suggestion, originally, Xu Zhenyuan did not think of Zhang's old opponent after Xu's occupation of the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion and the capture of Beizhou City, and what he wanted was to quickly quell the riots in Beizhou City, and then digest the results of this time, train the soldiers, and appease the many forces in the city.
For him, that's the big deal.
The old opponent Zhang, now in his eyes, is nothing, and after integrating the power of Beizhou City in the future, it is not too late to settle the score.
After all, what the Xu family is doing now is a big thing.
It's just that Wei Fang didn't agree with his idea, and told him that after occupying Beizhou City, the best way to quell the rapid riots is to eliminate those wealthy families who are not dealing with the Xu family one by one, because these wealthy families are the real unstable factors in Beizhou City.
As long as these opponents are all killed, it will be much easier for the Xu clan to rule Beizhou City safely.
Moreover, the Xu family will inevitably send troops to attack the Quartet in the future, where will the grain and grass come from? Where do the resources come from? Where does the population come from? This kind of thing, if you want to get it through normal channels, the efficiency is really slow, and now, they have a suitable goal, as long as they kill all those old opponents, they can get rich in an instant.
What other way can it be faster than snatching and grabbing?
When Xu Zhenyuan heard this, he also felt that it made sense, so he immediately brought the troops here, and at this moment, seeing that so many soldiers had gathered in the Zhang family's mansion, he immediately guessed that the Zhang family must be plotting against him.
Anyway, the Zhang clan gathered such a large number of soldiers, it would not be to help the Xu clan in the past, this was absolutely impossible, he instinctively sensed the malice of the Zhang clan.
Since this is the case, he naturally doesn't have to be polite anymore, this time he must destroy the Zhang family, on the one hand, to solve the century-old hatred between the two families, on the other hand, as Wei Fang said, he also took a fancy to the Zhang family's family heritage for hundreds of years, and after destroying the Zhang family, these things should be owned by the Xu family.
"Kill, kill, kill!!"
Thinking of this, Xu Zhenyuan's actions became a little more aggressive, now that the Xu clan is rebelling, all they do is a big thing with their heads tied to the waistband of their trousers, and there is no room for hesitation at all, as long as it is something that hinders the progress of the Xu clan, he will not hesitate to kill the two.
In fact, at this time, the Xu family was not only targeting the Zhang family, but also those wealthy families who were hostile to or did not deal with the Xu family before, were all on the Xu family's cleanup list this time.
In extraordinary times, do extraordinary things.
Cut through the mess quickly!!
Therefore, after the Xu clan completely captured Beizhou City, Beizhou City only did not settle down, but was full of beacons, shouting and killing, and it was not until late at night that Beizhou City was completely stabilized.
It's just that after the Xu family completely mastered Beizhou City, they did not stop there, but gathered the remaining wealthy families overnight, released the military power with a glass of wine, and without the slightest discussion, they took away the military power in their hands and put the army in the hands of these guys into the hands of the Xu family.
Of course, these families are basically on the side of the Xu family, and they are inextricably linked with the Xu family, so the Xu family only took the army in their hands, and their population, resources, and territory did not move.
It is also a form of tolerance.
And after dawn, the governor of Beizhou seemed to have figured out some things, and chose to belong to the Xu family and do things for the Xu family, and the first thing he did when he took office was to help the Xu family tour the counties of Beizhou and persuade those county guards to surrender.
This Beizhou governor has been managing Beizhou for several years, and he also has a lot of roots in Beizhou City, many county guards were promoted by him, and he is his protégé, this time he chose to take refuge in the Xu family, and the huge influence quickly fermented, and immediately the seven counties chose to surrender and belong to the Xu family, so that the Xu soldiers occupied most of the land in Beizhou without blood.
Most of the other counties are in the hands of other wealthy families in Beizhou, and now the Xu family has controlled these wealthy families, which is equivalent to mastering these territories.
Now, the Xu family is considered to be the unification of Beizhou!!
……
……
Great Qi Empire, 45 years of Zhaoyang.
In the northwest, there is a family Xu family in rebellion, and the entire Beizhou land was captured within half a month, and the head of the Xu family opened the government and established himself, calling himself the "King of Great Summer".
For a time, the northwest land shook.
When the news reached the ancient capital of Great Qi, the emperor was furious and ordered the governor of the northwest to immediately send troops to exterminate the Xu clan.
……
……
Heian Castle, Northwest Governor's Palace.
In the past few days, the many servants of the Governor's Mansion have not had a good time, and no matter what they do, they are cautious and trembling, for fear that they will anger the Governor, and he will take the opportunity to vent his anger and beat him to death.
In the past few days, several people who have made mistakes have been beaten to death with sticks.
Den.
The Governor of the Northwest frowned tightly, and his eyes stared at the map of the Northwest Lands without blinking, focusing on the Northstate region.
After a long time, he sighed, turned his head sideways and said to the commander of the Northwest Frontier Army, who was dressed in steel armor:
"The emperor has come to order us to quickly pacify the Xu clan in Beizhou at all costs.
"This time, I'm afraid I'll have to let you personally lead the troops to go on a run."
