Chapter 226: The Jiangdong Family

In the Zhang family secret room, Zhang Yong sat in the first place, the heads of Zhou, Xie and Lu families sat on both sides, and then there were the heads of aristocratic families.

"I believe you all know why I invited you here today. My Jiangdong family has encountered a rare disaster that has happened in hundreds of years. Sun wants to take our families to bury with us. We cannot sit and wait for death." Zhang Yong said.

"Brother Zhang, since Sun doesn't let us have a good time, then we will be rebelled. Anyway, I have disliked Sun's family. This time, we will figure out the new and old hatreds with Sun's family." The person who said this was Xie Quan, the head of the Xie family. The Xie family had a deep resentment towards the Sun family. Decades ago, the Xie family produced a war god Xie Zhan, who made great achievements for the Wu Kingdom. However, because of their great achievements, they were wrongly killed by the Sun family on false charges, so that the entire Xie family was affected. If it weren't for the names of the four major families, and the help of the Zhang family, Zhou family, and Lu family, the Xie family would have disappeared long ago, but despite this, the Xie family almost fell out of the four major families. It can be said that the royal family of the Wu Kingdom almost destroyed the entire Xie family.

"Yes, it's against it!" As soon as Xie Quan said this, the heads of the small families below were also in a turbulent relationship, but the heads of the other two major families, Zhou Zhuan of the Zhou family and Lu Bai of the Lu family, did not speak and remained silent.

Seeing this, Zhang Yong thought to both of them and asked, "I wonder what Brother Lu and Brother Zhou think?" The Zhou family and the Lu family are the two most popular families in Wu Kingdom now. They are all because the Zhou family has a Zhou Kai and the Lu Feng family has a Lu Feng, which makes these two families speak more and more in the military. There are even many family children working in the military. Without the cooperation of the Zhou family and the Lu family, it would be difficult to achieve anything.

"Brother Zhang, are you really going to get to this point?" Zhou Zhuan asked. Zhou Kai is now the Grand Governor of the Wu Kingdom and has the military power of the Wu Kingdom. Once Zhou Kai can defeat Deng's army, the Zhou family will become the largest family in the Wu Kingdom with Zhou Kai's great achievements. They really don't want to take such a risk.

They have been old foxes for many years, so Zhang Yong also knows what Zhou Zhuan and Lu Bai are thinking, so he said, "Brother Zhou, Brother Lu, it's not that I am willing to go this far, but that Sun is too bullying people. I have to go this far. I also know what you think in your heart, but do you really think that Zhou Kai and Lu Feng can defeat Deng's army? Take a step back and say that even if they can defeat Deng's army and turn the tide, what? What will happen to the former war god Xie Zhan? Don't you know? Sun has always been kind and merciless, so you have to think clearly."

"Yes, Brother Zhou, Brother Lu, in terms of merit, my brother Xie Zhan was so great at the beginning. But in the end, he was wrongly killed by the Sun family. If it weren't for the help of several people, I'm afraid my entire Xie family would have been uprooted by the Sun family. Don't both of you." Xie Quan, who was standing beside him, also persuaded him.

"Okay, let's work with you!" Zhou Zhuan and Lu Bai looked at each other and said in unison. Although the benefits of defeating the Deng army are very tempting, the chance of defeating the Deng army is too low. And more importantly, the Sun family has always been rude and merciless. It is not certain whether the Zhou and Lu families can successfully rise. After all, the fate of Xie Zhan and Xie families back then is still vivid in my mind.

Seeing that Zhou Zhuan and Lu Bai agreed, Zhang Yong immediately smiled and said, "Okay, since you all agree, then we will discuss how to act next!"

"Then I wonder what plans Brother Zhang has? Why don't you tell me and let me discuss them together?" Lu Bai said. After knowing and friends with Zhang Yong for so many years, he knew very well that Zhang Yong was a person. If he hadn't already made a plan, he wouldn't have gathered everyone.

Zhang Yong smiled and said, "I have an immature idea in my mind. Now all the elite troops in Danyang and Wujun have been sent to the front line. There are no other soldiers except some county soldiers that maintain daily life. With so many families, each family can gather hundreds of people, which adds up to tens of thousands of people. In addition, most of the county magistrates and magistrates of each county in Wujun are children or disciples of each family, so I plan to directly enter Wucheng and depose the King of Wu."

Zhang Yong's plan can be said to be perfect. Now the country of Wu is empty, and even a team of thousands of people cannot be raised. Even Wucheng, as the capital, has only more than a thousand people stationed, and more than a dozen families have gathered nearly 10,000 people. Most of the county magistrates and county magistrates in various places are closely related to the families present. It is not a big problem to make them respond to this action. But the question is, what should we do after entering Wucheng and deposed the King of Wu? Should we establish another Sun family, or completely depose the Sun family, and choose a new king among the crowd?

"Brother Zhang, what should we do after conquering Wucheng? Should we make another Sun family member or choose one of them as the king?" Xie Quan asked.

Zhang Yong shook his head and said, "Not all, first of all, the Sun family is no longer supported, so it is not feasible to establish other Sun family's children. Jiangdong is already in danger. Now, choosing a new king is just a waste of his life. So what I mean is that after conquering Wucheng, we will surrender to Deng State."

The whole country surrendered to Deng State? No one here expected that Zhang Yong had planned to give up the power that was within his reach. However, if you think carefully, this is undoubtedly the best way to deal with it. Jiangdong is unsuccessful. No matter who becomes the king of Jiangdong, it will be impossible to escape the end of destruction. Moreover, Deng State is determined to swallow Jiangdong. How could it be changed by just a few families? It would be better to surrender to Deng State as soon as possible. With the contribution of land, I believe that life will not be very sad in the future.

"But Brother Zhang, the hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line may not compromise so easily." At this time, Xie Quan raised another question: It is not difficult to conquer Wucheng, but there is also an army loyal to the Sun family on the front line. These people may not obey their wishes so easily.

However, Zhang Yong had obviously thought of this level, so he looked at Zhou Zhuan and Lu Bai and said, "Although there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the front line, most of them were the people who were forcibly recruited into the army a few days ago. These people probably had already hated the Sun family. It was not difficult to ask them to put down their weapons and surrender to Deng State. The only thing that is worrying is the tens of thousands of elite soldiers under Zhou Kai and Lu Feng. This requires Brother Zhou and Brother Lu to work hard."

"Lu Feng is not a foolish and loyal person. As long as he moves with him, understands the reason, and explains the general trend clearly, he will understand. So I have the confidence to convince him, but I don't know what happened to Brother Zhou?" Lu Bai was obviously very confident about persuading Lu Feng, but he didn't know whether Zhou Zhuan was sure to convince Zhou Kai.

Zhou Zhuan, who was standing beside him, said bitterly: "Although Zhou Kai is my son, he is very loyal to Sun. It is basically impossible to convince him, and I have no other way."

"This..." Everyone had no choice. After all, Zhou Kai was the commander-in-chief of the three armies of Wu. If he didn't speak, it would be impossible for tens of thousands of elite Wu soldiers on the front line to put down their weapons, so it would be difficult to do so.

Zhang Yong, who was in the first place, also frowned. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said to Zhou Zhuan: "Brother Zhou, Zhou Kai is crucial. If we can't convince him, then we will probably kill him and get rid of Zhou Kai."

"What! This is impossible. He is my son." How could Zhou Zhuan agree if he got rid of Zhou Kai? The tiger poison does not eat any children. What's more, Zhou Kai is still the most talented and capable person in the Zhou family. Without Zhou Kai's Zhou family, it may be difficult to find someone who can take the lead in the future.

"Brother Zhou, I know you can't accept it. After all, you are also father and son. But you have to think clearly that if Zhou Kaining dies and brings tens of thousands of elite troops to fight against the Deng army, it will be difficult to guarantee that Deng will not take his anger on the Zhou family. For the sake of family inheritance, Brother Zhou cannot be so selfish." Zhang Yong persuaded.

Zhou Zhuan was very struggling inside. On one side was the father-son relationship and on the other side was the family inheritance. No matter which side, he could not give up, but he had to choose the same thing. After a long struggle in his heart, Zhou Zhuan sighed, as if he had exhausted all his strength. He closed his eyes and said, "Okay, just do what Brother Zhang said. I just hope that Zhou Kai can figure out all this at that time. Otherwise, don't blame me, the ruthless father."

Between his son and his family, Zhou Zhuan finally chose a family. He had many sons, but there was only one family. Without the Zhou family, he was nothing.
