: The Rebellion of the Aristocratic Family (Part 2)

Zhang Chao's innocence made Zhou Tong feel very funny. Now that things have come to this point, how can you turn back? So he smiled and said, "Uncle is joking. We are following the heavens and responding to the people and practicing the law for heaven. How can we give up halfway?"

At this moment, Zhang Chao was already feeling cold. He knew that the aristocratic family was unstoppable to raise an army, so he stood up and said, "Since that's the case, I will say goodbye. I want to see how you entered Wucheng and became a traitor who had been infamous for thousands of years." After that, he turned around and planned to leave, but was stopped by Zhou Tong.

"Uncle, please stay!" Seeing that Zhang Chao wanted to leave, but how could Zhou Tong let Zhang Chao go back like this, he quickly called him.

Hearing Zhou Tong's words, Zhang Chao stopped and turned around and said, "What else is there? The true nature has been said. The true nature is different from yours and will not work together. Whether it is good or bad in the future depends on the will of heaven."

Zhou Tong smiled and said, "I don't mean that, I just haven't seen my uncle for too long. I want to ask my uncle to stay in my nephew's camp for a while and stay for several days."

"What! Do you want to imprison yourself?" Who is Zhang Chao? I don't know what Zhou Tong means. To put it nicely, I want to let myself stay, but in fact I'm not imprisoning myself.

But Zhou Tong would not admit it so, but said with a smile: "My uncle is joking, how could my nephew imprison me? There are really too many questions to ask my uncle, and this matter is related to the life and death of my Jiangdong family. My nephew dare not be careless. Please don't let my nephew make things difficult for me. Please come and ask Zhang Xiang to go down!" After that, several soldiers came in and raised Zhang Chao and took him down.

Zhang Chao, who was held by the soldiers, cursed at Zhou Tong: "Zhou Tong, you are a traitor, you are so ruthless. What kind of face do you have to meet the Grand Governor Zhou Kai and the ancestors of your Zhou family in the future?"

"Hmph!" Zhou Tong saw that he was kind to Zhang Chao, but Zhang Chao was still ungrateful, so he sneered: "What will happen to me in the future? Zhang Xiang will not bother you. Come and take someone down."

After the soldiers brought Zhang Chao down, Zhou Tong ordered soldiers to enter Wucheng early tomorrow morning, and at the same time, hundreds of people pretending to be refugees entering Wucheng first. Now there are thousands of refugees entering and leaving Wucheng every day, which is easy to get away from people.

The next morning, Commander Zhou led a large army to slowly march towards Wucheng. At this time, Wucheng was listless and the soldiers guarding the city were even cursing the refugees entering and leaving Wucheng.

When he saw Zhou Tong's army, the defenders were stunned at first, and then they found something was wrong. They hurriedly drove away the refugees and tried to close the city gate. However, at this time, the coalition forces of the aristocratic families who had already lurked in the city rushed to the city gate and killed several guards guarding the city gate, and then opened half of the closed city gate again. Zhou Tong followed the situation and led his troops into the city.

After entering Wucheng, Zhou Tong left half of the people to deal with the defenders in the city and search for the royal family of the Sun family in the city. He led the remaining half to attack the royal city and capture the King of Wu.

At this time, the King of Wu was discussing with Huang Er and Lin Yuan to collect grain and grass and send it to the front line. After the winter began, the gap between the Wu army on the front line was relatively large. Zhou Kai and Lu Feng had already made several memorials in succession, asking the King of Wu to quickly transport grain to the front line.

In the imperial study, an eunuch stumbled and ran in with a sad face, saying, "King, the big thing is wrong, the enemy has already attacked the royal city!" There are only two or three hundred people stationed in the royal city of Wu, so how can he block Zhou Tong's troops? After a wave of attacks, he broke through the palace gate and entered the royal city.

"What!" Hearing the eunuch's words, King Wu, Huang Er and Lin Yuan were shocked. Could it be that Deng's army had already reached Wucheng? It shouldn't be. If it were Deng's army, there was no reason for no news.

At this time, Sun Cai, a general of the Sun clan who was responsible for guarding the royal city, walked in and said, "King, no, the Jiangdong family has rebelled. The rebels have already attacked the royal city. Please move quickly!"

The King of Wu ran to Sun Cai, grabbed Sun Cai's shoulder, and asked anxiously: "Are you saying that the Jiangdong family rebelled? Not Deng's army?"

Sun Cai shook his head and said, "It's not Deng's army, but the generals in charge recognized it as Zhou Tong, the younger brother of the Grand Governor Zhou Kai, and it was indeed the rebellion of the Jiangdong family."

Sun Cai was appointed by the King of Wu to guard the royal city at this time. He was quite capable and was also a person that the King of Wu trusted very much. If he said that, the King of Wu would not doubt it.

However, the rebellion of the Jiangdong family made the King of Wu feel desperate. He did not expect that when he fought his life, he did not hesitate to fish in the lake, and consumed all the potential of the Wu Kingdom, and resisted the Deng army with all his might, the Jiangdong family would stab himself in the back at this time. The King of Wu suddenly vomited blood and collapsed to the ground.

"Big King!" Sun Cai rushed forward and supported the King of Wu. The King of Wu murmured: "It's over, the Great Wu is over!"

"King, please come here. I will take the king out. As long as we arrive at the camp in Yi County and find the governor, we will be safe." Sun Cai said anxiously.

The King of Wu smiled and shook his head, saying, "Sun Cai, the rebel general is Zhou Kai's younger brother. Do you think Zhou Kai can still believe it at this time?"

Sun Cai thought about it, since Zhou Tong had become the chief general of the rebel army, that is to say, this rebellion of the Yuhang Zhou family must be one of the masterminds, Zhou Kai, as the legitimate son of the Zhou family, is likely to be involved.

"Then king, what should we do?" Since it was no longer possible to defect to Zhou Kai, Sun Cai asked the King of Wu what to do next.

The King of Wu suddenly stood up and said, "Since there is no way out, I will not leave. It's here. I am waiting for the arrival of the traitors. I want to ask why they rebel against me." After that, I walked to my throne, while Sun Cai was holding weapons to protect the King of Wu, while Huang Er and Lin Yuan below were trembling. They did not expect that at this time, the aristocratic family would rebel. They used to rely on the favor of the King of Wu and did a lot of things to deal with the aristocratic family. Now that the people of the aristocratic family have entered, they are afraid that their lives will not last long.

After a quarter of an hour, more than a dozen royal city defenders holding weapons retreated into the imperial study room. Then, he was heartbroken, surrounded by soldiers, Zhou Tong stepped into the imperial study room and stared at the King of Wu on the throne.

The King of Wu also stared at Zhou Tong at the same time and said, "Zhou Tong, I and Da Wu asked themselves that they are good at aristocratic families. Most important positions in the court and the local area have been given to your aristocratic families. What else do you have to worry about? They actually rebel?"

"Hmph!" Zhou Tong sneered: "Sun You (name of King Wu), for your own selfish desires, you poison the people. Our aristocratic families follow the heavens and respond to the people, overthrow your Sun family's tyranny, and give the people of Jiangdong a bright world. Today is the end of your Sun family."

"Hahaha! So that's it, so that's it!" The King of Wu laughed. He finally understood why the aristocratic family rebelled. It turned out that he was dissatisfied with the excessive exploitation of the aristocratic family in order to support the front line and resisted the Deng army. However, the King of Wu asked himself that he did not make too embarrassed by the aristocratic family. However, he was called alone for so many years. The King of Wu knew the nature of the aristocratic family. As long as the interests of the aristocratic family were involved, they would be strongly opposed by the aristocratic family. However, this time the aristocratic family's reaction was too strong and they directly rebelled.

After laughing, the King of Wu looked at Zhou Tong again and said, "The aristocratic family is indeed the biggest cancer of the Great Wu. Haha, I just regret that I failed to uproot you, which led to today's disaster. Come on, my head is here, if you have the ability, come and get it."

"Pret, if there is any resistance, kill me, don't worry!" Zhou Tong did not be polite to the King of Wu and directly ordered people to kill him. When Sun Cai saw the rebels rushing up, he also led more than a dozen defenders to resist. After a fierce battle, all the dozen royal guards who retreated into the imperial study were killed, while Huang Er and Lin Yuan were taken down, and Sun Cai died in battle. When the King of Wu saw that the situation was hopeless, he drew his sword and committed suicide.
