Don't look at Yang Ling, when he came to visit, he was extremely polite to Zhang Zhao.

But the fierce generals around him are not vegetarians!

Previously, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi didn't give Yang Ling face, but they were both robbed of their wives by Yang Ling.

One was almost burned to death by fire, and the other was targeted by Yang Ling everywhere!

If Zhang Zhao didn't agree to Yang Ling, he was afraid that the end would not be much better than Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi.

Besides, what Yang Ling said was right, now the situation has completely turned to Cao Wei.

Sun Quan wants to turn the tables on the Jedi, it's almost impossible!

For the sake of the people of Jiangdong, Zhang Zhao should also agree!

In public and private, he must come forward to convince other families!

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhao sighed,

"Zhong Hei (Zhang Chengzi), go and invite Zuo Sima and Jiujiang Duwei to come!"

"The child obeys!"

Zhang Cheng took the order and left.

……

After a while, Zuo Sima Gu Yong, Jiujiang Governor Lu Jun and others gathered in Zhang Zhao's mansion.

"Mr. Zibu has invited us today, but what's the matter?"

It was Zuo Sima Gu Yong who spoke.

He is reticent by nature, and his mood is invisible.

The four families of Jiangdong, Gu, Lu, Zhu, and Zhang Zhong, Gu Yong is the head of the Gu family.

"It's not a secret, the general just visited Zaixia."

Zhang Zhao said slowly.

Hearing Yang Ling's arrival, the Jiangdong clansmen led by Gu Yong subconsciously sat up straight.

"What is he looking for Mr. Zibu to do?"

Lu Xun's father, Lu Jun, asked in a low voice.

"Naturally, I want to recruit you."

Zhang Zhao briefly told everyone what Yang Ling meant.

After everyone listened, their eyes were looking at Gu Yong, who was the leader, waiting for him to speak.

Gu Yong was silent for a moment, and then asked softly,

"Presumably, Mr. Zibu intends to defect to the general, otherwise he would not have invited all of us."

"Yes, I do."

Zhang Zhao bowed his head slightly and explained,

"Now that the situation is clear, Wu Hou wants to counterattack Cao Wei, but it is as difficult as climbing to the sky."

"In order to avoid another war in Jiangdong, it is wise for us to take the initiative to take refuge in the past!"

Gu Yong thought for a moment and sighed,

"Actually, my thoughts are similar to Mr. Zibu's, but there is a trouble."

"What's the trouble?"

Zhang Zhao asked subconsciously.

"At the moment, Wu County is not under the control of the general, if we surrender, Wu Hou will definitely launch a crazy revenge on our people!"

As the local scholars of Jiangdong, whether it is Sun Quan, Yang Ling, or Cao Wei, as long as their interests are not damaged, they don't care who will rule.

It's just that the four major families and other scholar clans are almost all from Wu County.

Their sphere of influence is also spread throughout the county.

Now Yang Ling has only taken one city of Jianye, and the other cities in the county are still under Sun Quan's control.

Not to mention Lu Xun, the son of Lu Jun, Zhu Huan, Zhu Yi and others of the Zhu family, all of whom are still serving in Sun Quan's army.

If Gu Yong and the others took refuge in Yang Ling, Sun Quan would definitely not let go of their clansmen!

This is the fundamental reason why Gu Yong and the others dare not go to see Yang Ling!

"It turns out that Zuo Sima is worried about this matter."

Zhang Zhao frowned,

"Isn't there a foolproof solution?"

Gu Yong groaned slightly, then smiled slightly,

"I've got the best of both worlds!"

"I want to hear about it!"

"I also ask Mr. Zibu to tell the general the truth."

"The general is kind-hearted, and he will not embarrass us."

Gu Yong paused, and then said,

"However, although we can't immediately take refuge in the general, we can guarantee that when the general and Wu Hou fight, we will remain neutral and will never interfere in it!"

"That's a good idea."

Zhang Zhao couldn't help but bow his head slightly, and looked at Lu Jun and other scholars,

"What do you mean?"

"What Zuo Sima means, that's what we mean!"

Lu Jun nodded.

"That's right, that's what we all think."

"Trouble Mr. Zibu to take a trip!"

The rest of the people also expressed their positions.

These clans have always been huddled together, led by the four major families, and Gu Yong is basically counted as their representative!

"That's good! The old decay will go through it for you today, and go and ask the general! ”

Zhang Zhao finally made up his mind.

After finishing the discussion with Gu Yong and the others, Zhang Zhao hurried to Wuhou's Mansion non-stop.

Wuhou Mansion was originally Sun Quan's mansion, and it was built to be majestic and magnificent.

After Jianye was captured, Yang Ling naturally occupied this place as his residence.

As for Sun Quan's wives and concubines, he didn't take them into the house for the sake of Sun Shangxiang's face, but rewarded them to his generals.

"Mr. Zibu is in such a hurry to see me, there must be good news?"

Yang Ling said with a smile.

"General Hui, I just met with the people of the four major families, what do they mean...... I wonder what the general thinks? ”

Zhang Zhao conveyed the attitude of Gu Yong and the others to Yang Ling, and looked at him with blank eyes.

"That's fine, but you have to tell them that if you break your promise today, don't blame me for not being merciful!"

Yang Ling said lightly.

The four major families are quite prestigious in the Jiangdong area, and even Sun Quan wants to woo and appease them, and Yang Ling doesn't want to force them to be anxious.

Moreover, what Gu Yong said is also very reasonable, Wu County has not yet been captured by Cao Wei.

Once they take the initiative to take refuge in the show of goodwill, I am afraid that Sun Quan will take advantage of their clansmen!

"That's great!"

Zhang Zhao also breathed a sigh of relief.

……

After the two sides reached a deal, although on the surface, the four major families were still clearly separated from Yang Lingjing and maintained estrangement, but in private, they had frequent contacts.

They not only provided grain and grass for Cao Wei's army, but also sent Gu Shao to visit him privately.

"I've seen the General!"

In the lobby, Gu Shao smiled and saluted Yang Ling.

He was followed by several other servants, all holding boxes of various sizes.

There are also several beautiful and moving girls who also walked in.

Gu Shao glanced at the servants and asked them to open the box.

When the box was opened, a golden light flashed.

There are not only gold and silver jewelry, but also antique jade.

Just one glance makes people a little unable to take their eyes off.

But Yang Ling didn't look at it, and said lightly,

"What does Gu Gongzi mean by this?"

"Back to the general, these money and beauties are all the kindness of my father and the scholars, and I hope the general will accept it."

Gu Shao explained with a smile.

However, Yang Ling smiled lightly and waved his hand,

"I appreciate the kindness you are waiting for."

"It's just that I'm not interested in money, and I'm more face-blind, so I don't think these maids are so good-looking."

"Please also ask Gu Gongzi to bring all this money and beauties back."

When Gu Shao heard this, he was stunned, and his expression was quite surprised.

In his opinion, Yang Ling has always been greedy for money and lustful, and he will never refuse the kindness of the Jiangdong clan.

But seeing Yang Ling's resolute attitude, Gu Shao had no choice but to get up and retreat, and take the beauties and money away by the way.
