Many military intelligence is not all good news.

While the Shen family recruited troops, the entire three Wu areas had already begun to surge. As the base camp of the Shen family, there were almost no families that could compete with the Shen family, so they were still calm. However, even farther away, the power of the Shen family was hit by different degrees. Among them, a different business in Wu County was attacked and looted by the Zhang family in Wu County. Several officials of the Zhang family's Xianzong died directly or indirectly at the hands of Shen Chong, and they had already hated the Shen family to the core. If it weren't for the great power of the Shen family, they would have been killed on the Taihu side long ago.

The situation in Kuaiji is even worse. The Kuaiji gentry headed by the Yu clan of Kuaiji has almost been united on the front, standing clearly on the side of the court. Not only did several farms in the Shen family located in Kuaiji, but even thousands of hu of grain that had been transported to the road were detained. It was only because someone in the Shen family was an official in Kuaiji and went back to protect him and did not suffer any injuries at the moment. However, the resources of the manpower and material resources in Kuaiji could not be used. Even Yu Tan of the Yu clan of Kuaiji held high the banner of the king to contact the aristocratic families, recruited rural bravery, and wanted to raise an army to fight against the rebellion of the Shen family.

Hearing these news, Shen Chong's expression became more solemn and he pondered without saying a word. After he gave up raising his troops to respond to Wang Dun's plan, the greatest guarantee was not only the power that the Shen family had, but also contacted the major families of the Three Wus to help each other, so as to force the court to not act rashly. Originally, in his plan, the army of the Three Wus of the Shen family was so prosperous that it could support Gu. Lu Gaomen stepped into the center to compete with the Wang Yuqiao surname, and could control the key points of the town in the middle, and protect the core areas of the Three Wus from being infiltrated and disintegrated by the North. In accordance with this, the Three Wus clans were built into a complete interest body to compete with the Nandu overseas clans.

However, Yu Tan's actions put him in great danger and passiveness, just like when he used Wang Dun's power to eradicate the Yixing Zhou family. Now Yu Tan uses the name of serving the king to cut off his retreat from the bottom of the pot. If there is any inappropriate response, he may follow the footsteps of the Zhou family. Without Kuaiji's support for retreat, the Shen family became a trapped beast. Even if they can defend Wuxing, it will be difficult for a long time.

Shen Zhezi sat in the corner. Seeing that his father was silent, he thought to himself that his father might feel uncomfortable now.

At the reciprocity of the two Jin Dynasties, if the Nandu Qiao surname was a group of pig teammates, then the performance of the Wu scholars was simply inferior to that of the pig teammates. Otherwise, it would be impossible to be suppressed by the overseas Chinese in the century of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Simply put, it was to kill each other, fight continuously, and be seriously injured. For example, his father Shen Chong used Wang Dun's power to destroy the Yixing Zhou family, which seemed to strengthen his own power, but in fact it weakened the overall power of the Wu scholar. The Wu scholars' power was consumed in such internal strife and could no longer compete with the overseas Chinese.

Of course, the environment in later generations is suspected of being biased in terms of right and wrong of the ancients. Judging from the current environment, the reason why the overseas Chinese surnames in the South can still maintain a happy and decent state is that most of them were recruited by Emperor Yuan of Jin when he was the King of Langya, which is the so-called "hundred and six officers". Second, their hometown fell and lived in a foreign land. They had a sense of identity with the same illness and mutual help in their interests, so there was a prerequisite for cooperation.

The scholars of Wu lived in their own countryside, and they had conflicts of interests and had long-standing feuds. They could even trace back to the old grudges planted by the dispute between the two palaces of Emperor Sun Hundred Wan in Jiangdong. Once they gained power, they thought about it and wanted to slander the other party to death. It was not easy to maintain a harmonious relationship.

My father Chen Chong used a knife to kill someone, but now he has been robbed of a way out. It can be said that he is unhappy in retribution.

However, since Shen Zhezi was his son, he could not have any thoughts of gloating at this moment, and he would not have finished his eggs when he collapsed. If Kuaiji could not support his father, then after his father retreated and seeks self-protection, the court would have fewer concerns when Wang Dun's army was defeated. There would definitely be no one in the hearts of the Three Wus to hold troops and respect themselves. Russia would arrive!

But if the three Wus can support each other, after the turmoil, the court will inevitably worry about another change in the elbow and armpit, and dare not pursue the father's crime of chaos. Instead, they will have to be kind and appease. As long as they can survive the imminent liquidation, the space for the Shen family will be much greater, and there is room for advancement or retreat.

But unfortunately, my father's bluffing plan encountered a strong obstacle from Yu Tan. Yu Tan has been in charge of the military and has rarely lost results, not because he is brave and good at fighting, but because this guy is a professional cheerleader and a verbal fighter. From the Wang Dun Rebellion to the Su Jun Rebellion afterwards, he has always been away from the main battlefield due to his advantage in the location. Although he has no great achievements or great mistakes, his attitude is commendable and he has been promoted repeatedly.

The others in the tent didn't know that my father had changed his mind, but said that although Yu Tan was a man of pure hope, he was not worthy of his name and was not a problem. As long as he accelerated his advance into Jiankang, the Kuaiji army would be resolved after the result of the war in the northwest was decided. This is true in history. After Yu Tan raised his troops, he stationed in Shangyu and led troops without sending troops, which did not cause any substantial obstacles to my father's dispatch of troops in Jiankang. Unfortunately, my father and others were still defeated by the refugee commanders from the south. After Yu Tan took a outing, he happily promoted and retreated.

It was not until my father revealed that he had changed his mind that the faces of the aides suddenly changed, but their reactions were quite interesting. After the tribe in charge of the soldiers and the troops were surprised, they quickly returned to peace. They always followed the father's lead, and as long as they obeyed any decision.

But the reactions of the gentry children who depended on their father were different. Sima Gu Yang looked relieved after being stunned. It seemed that he did not agree with his father's resurgence. The staff officer Qiu Shan and Lu Zheng reacted very much, saying straight, "How can you hesitate at the beginning and end of the big thing?" When he saw that his father's expression turned into a bad situation, he hurriedly accepted the crime.

There were several family background information on Shen Zhezi's case. After browsing it, he couldn't help but smile. Although Qiu Shan and Lu Zheng were all from gentry families, their family background was premature and they were no longer commendable in this generation, and they were no different from poor families. As the saying goes, the proletariat has nothing to lose, except shackles. Therefore, this type of person is particularly keen on doing extraordinary things and making extraordinary contributions, and wants to revitalize the family with his father's capital.

As for the staff officer Yu Fen, his expression was a bit strange. This man was from the Yu family of Kuaiji. In terms of seniority, he was Yu Tan's nephew who was raising troops to fight against rebellion in Kuaiji.

During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, it was not surprising that the children of aristocratic families were in their own affairs. The more famous one was that during the Three Kingdoms, the Zhuge family was divided into three countries, and each achieved success. The most amazing thing was the Wang family of Langya. Wang Yan was engaged in the King of East China Sea Sima Yue at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, and his sons and nephews were separated from each other. The so-called cunning rabbit was buried alive in the north and did not affect the future of the family. Wang Dun and Wang Dao rose to Jiangdong. As for now, Wang Dun was in chaos outside, Wang Dao lived in the center, and the other brothers occupied Fangzhen. None of the losses were fatal to the family.

This is the benefit of having a lot of family affairs and having many children. They bet separately and hedge risks. The so-called "the east is not bright, the west is bright." This has become the norm and it is difficult to ban it. Those who come from poor families like Lu Bu and have few relatives have no such advantage. They have made some adjustments in their lives in troubled times, and were deposed as slaves of the three surnames. But in fact, when it comes to integrity, those families with many famous scholars may not be noble, but are even more dirty.

After Yu Fen learned that his clan became the flag bearer of the gentry who was attacking Chen Chong in Kuaiji County, his expression changed extremely complicated, with both fear, guilt and grief. He was worried that Chen Chong would blame him, and was also sad and angry that he did not inform him in advance before the family made this decision, so that he was completely unprepared and did not know how to deal with it.

Chen Chong showed Yu Fen's eyes and kept seeing the other person's face, and he was trembling with fear, then he suddenly smiled: "Teng Zhi is worried that I have no temperament, can't tolerate you?"

Yu Fen, whose name was Tengzhi, turned over and bowed, and said tragically: "Mr. Ming is humble and has an extraordinary demeanor. You should know that Fen lives here forever and rarely interacts with villagers. I just feel guilty that I cannot see the opportunity in advance, so that I have no response when things are about to come, and there is no plan to present them to Ming Gong."

"Tengzhi should not doubt himself. I have worked with you for many years and are considered close friends. Yu Si'ao cannot tolerate me, so he takes advantage of the situation. What does it have to do with you?"

Chen Chong said with a smile, then his eyes were surrounded by the hall and said to everyone: "You guys, please sit down and do your own job. Since I have made this decision, I will be sure to deal with the current situation."

"Since Duke Ming has made a decision, we are willing to follow the horse's tail. If there is any dispatch, Yang will do his best." Sima Gu Yang said first, and the others also expressed their support and worked together to overcome difficulties.

Chen Chong ordered everyone a few more words before he let them go to their respective positions. When everyone left, he waved his hand and asked Shen Zhezi in front of him, asking, "Does Qingque have something to gain?"

Shen Zhezi could see the hidden worries under his father's calm appearance. At the beginning of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the situation was paradoxical, and the success of people was also aborted by others. The forces of the aristocratic families were mixed up and the achievements could be achieved through personal efforts. Just looking at the performance of these people under his father, you can feel the impact of family background on a person's behavior in this era.

"Gu Sima is calm, General Manager Yu is not capable of protecting himself, and Qiu Lu and the two are unable to show their ambitions, so they may be very upset." Shen Zhezi pondered for a little while and commented on his father and some of his advisers.

Chen Chong nodded: "Gu Yang is a famous family, and I can be driven by fashion. Once the power declines, he will definitely abandon me. Gu Lu's rich children are just like clothes, patterns and accessories, and it is difficult to make a concerted effort. Qiu Shan and Lu Zheng are probably considering which side to sell me to. Yu Fen's abandoned son is now sharing weal and woe with me, but he can trust him a little more."

Listen to my father's further explanation, Shen Zhezi, I'm amazed. It turns out that there is no good person in Hongdong County. Isn't it better to be pure and simple? But through my father's evaluation, Shen Zhezi also has a deeper understanding of the situation of the Three Wus. If my father wants to contact the Three Wus to protect himself, Kuaiji is the key. As long as he can be connected with Kuaiji, Gu Lu, the people in Wujun will change their direction.

"The only one who can compete with me regardless of my own interests is probably Qian Feng and Qian Shiyi. He is my close friend who can trust my life." Chen Chong sighed and then looked at Shen Zhezi and said slowly: "General Wang is sick. I knew he would not be able to accomplish great things. Therefore, Qian Shiyi and I originally planned to force the court to move to the city to the city. This is the most beneficial situation for the people of Wu."
