279 Family disputes

Above the East Gate Tower of Wuwei City.

Zhang Feng took the initiative to worship Zhan Xiaobai as his brother, which made Zhan Xiaobai overjoyed. Zhang Feng was determined to follow Zhan Xiaobai to have a big fight, and his decadent aura was wiped out. The heroic spirit of the general who had not seen for a long time finally reappeared again.

The two formally established a "singing" relationship.

The charity system has officially opened after the charity of the brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang. After the two or more agree to the charity, they can become brothers (or sisters) relationships, and their trust and loyalty have increased significantly, reaching between 98 and 100, making it difficult to be discord. Once one party chooses to betray the sworn brothers, their reputation will drop significantly and be despised by the world.

As a sworn brother, Zhan Xiaobai was allowed to view Zhang Feng's attribute table.

Zhang Feng: Level 50 military general. Biography: Born in the Zhang family in Wuwei City, he has been practicing martial arts and training since childhood, learned literature and martial arts, and has great talents. Fame 51. Politics 15, Commander 14, Martial power 20, Wisdom 10, Charm 7.

Zhan Xiaobai was secretly shocked.

Zhang Feng is not a historical general, and his attribute is a bit terrifying. He is far above the little boss of Hutou Mountain. He is much more NPC generals from civilians, such as Horse Thieves, Wang Gun, Zhou Meng, etc. Although he is not as good as historical generals, he is currently the most powerful NPC general under his command. It is worth reusing.

Moreover, Zhang Feng was also a disciple of the Zhang family of Wuwei, and it would be of some use to win over the Zhang family in the future.

Since Zhang Feng was determined to follow Zhan Xiaobai, his mind immediately moved. He had to ask, "What are the plans for brother? I can help me in Wuwei City."

Zhan Xiaobai did not hide it. He looked at Wuwei City from afar and said in a low voice: "The chaos in the world has emerged, eunuchs and treacherous ministers in the court are in power, and local chaos is everywhere. This time I came to Wuwei City to control this important city in Liangzhou and wait for the opportunity... Of course, this requires my brother to help me."

Zhang Feng was shocked and said, "What do you want to do? Do you want to learn from Ma Teng, Han Sui and others? This... seems to be a bit inappropriate."

Zhang Feng used to accept loyalty to the court's ideas and never thought about rebellion, so he was somewhat resistant to Zhan Xiaobai's words of taking over Wuwei City.

Zhan Xiaobai understood what he was thinking, smiled and said, "Ha, I am a general of Pinggu, of course I will not be the traitor and go against the court. The governor of Liangzhou died, and there were too many rebellions on this land. The Qiang people, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Bian Zhang, Ma Wan, etc. were all rebellious. The court needed a major minister and general who guarded the border to guard the Hexi Corridor. I, Zhan Xiaobai, are not talented and would like to guard Liangzhou on behalf of the court! Seizing this Wuwei City is my first step, and then seizing the entire Hexi Corridor and controlling the land of the Western Qiang."

Zhang Feng was extremely excited after hearing Zhan Xiaobai's heroic words, "Brother is willing to guard Liangzhou on behalf of the court, so that I can help my brother seize Wuwei City and pacify the military troubles of Liangzhou!"

"Good brother!"

Zhan Xiaobai casually drew a sketch of Wuwei City on the ground and said, "This is the general military defense layout of Wuwei City. Each of the four gates has 500 Level 70 heavy armored soldiers guarded the prefect's mansion, 200 heavy armored soldiers guarded the Duwei's mansion, and 500 heavy armored soldiers stood guard at dozens of important building sites in the city. Here, 3,000 infantry heavy armored soldiers were consumed. The remaining 2,000 heavy armored soldiers were in the city's barracks. Once the enemy situation was discovered, they could go to the city to participate in defense at any time. Finally, there were 1,000 heavy cavalry as reserve mobile forces, and the cavalry battalions that were usually staying in the city did not go out.

The commander is responsible for the allocation of troops throughout the city. Without the command of the commander, no officer or soldier cannot leave his post without his command. However, the current commander is dead, and no new commander has taken office yet. Now the prefect directly commands the military power of the city.

Within two days, the situation in Wuwei City will undergo major changes.

My plan is like this. First, I will arrange doubters and trick more than 1,000 heavy cavalry out of the city. Then I will send a Xiaobai Town cavalry unit with a number of 2,000 people into Wuwei City from the East Gate, launch a mutiny, and directly control the prefect. You wait for my orders and let them enter the city. Once you need it, you will also need to lead 500 heavy armored soldiers from the East Gate of your subordinates to cooperate with my actions and control the prefect. As for other actions, you can only adapt to the situation."

Zhang Feng was quite surprised that he knew the defense of Wuwei City so well. Unconsciously, he increased his confidence and immediately said, "I obey the order."

......

In the prefect of Wuwei City.

The NPCs were full of fierce disputes in the conference hall. The prefect of Wuwei, dozens of senior bureaucrats, children of various wealthy gentry, and the young heirs of the three wealthy families, were scolding and quarreling, blushing, and the scene was chaotic.

The content of their dispute was very simple. The Qiang assassin killed 17 senior officials the day before yesterday. They had no time to investigate the real murderer and fought for the vacant official position.

The most important ones are the chief lieutenant, chief lieutenant, Gongcao, chief clerk and other official positions.

The chief minister, Gongcao, and chief clerk are the assistants of the prefect. They are appointed by the prefect and reported to the court for filing. These are all civil officials, so they are nothing.

The most fierce battle was the Duwei. The Duwei was in charge of the power to mobilize a county's troops and horses, and had a very strong position. This official position was usually directly appointed by the court, but the local prefect can also recommend suitable talents. Under the recommendation of the prefect, several Duwei in Wuwei City were from disciples of the Ma family.

The Zhang family believed that the position of Wuwei Duwei was controlled by the Ma family for too long, and it should be the turn of the Zhang clan to take office now.

How could Ma family be willing to give in?

The dispute was triggered and it was inevitable.

The Zhang family, Ma family and Jia family provoked disputes, and the other wealthy families were involved, following the leader of the three major clans and supporting one side. The Zhang and Ma family often produced the talents of generals and generals, while the Jia family often produced the talents of civil officials and counselors. Therefore, in many cases, it was mainly the dispute between the Zhang and Ma family, and the Jia family fanned the flames.

Ma Min, Zhang Lin and Jia An are important figures among the young heirs of the three major families, and are also the main force in the competition for vacant official positions this time.

The supporter Ma Min has the most gentry who served as the commander.

Ma Min looked very proud and said, "The Wuwei Chief Commander has always been appointed by my Ma clan. My uncle unfortunately died the day before yesterday. I should take the place of my own, what's wrong?"

Zhang Lin sneered: "The Duwei is an official position of the court, but not your Ma family. Your Ma family has always controlled the Duwei position. What do you want to do? Brother Jia thinks?"

Jia An leisurely savored the tea, but did not accept the hot Yu Yang, and said calmly: "Brother Ma, Brother Zhang, this depends on the meaning of Lord Taishou. Only after Lord Taishou said it."

The NPCs looked at the prefect.

The prefect of Wuwei was extremely embarrassed. Although he was a prefect and had a high position and a powerful position, he was unwilling to easily get involved in the internal struggle between the three major clans of Wuwei City.

His prefect was an official from another place and was transferred to Wuwei City for several years. His foundation was shallow in the local area. In most of the Wuwei City, almost all the low-level civil and military bureaucrats were appointed by the local gentry clans or talents trained by the aristocratic clans.

The local clan forces are mixed, and the prefect is unwilling to offend any of them. Therefore, the prefect often waits for the three major wealthy families to fight for a result before he expresses his support, which also avoids getting involved in the clan dispute.

Jia An asked him to make a statement before the situation is clear. Isn’t this difficult for him!

The prefect could only laugh and hide his embarrassment, waved his hand and said, "Oh, when you get older, you are easily confused. I can't tell who is suitable for the position of the chief lieutenant. But we don't need to worry. Nephew Ma and Nephew Zhang can discuss it first, and tell me if the result is done."

At this moment, the npc guard suddenly came to report: "Report! Lord Xiaobai is here-!"

The NPCs in the hall were stunned. They were discussing matters, so why did Zhan Xiaobai come uninvited?

Zhan Xiaobai was in a high position in the fifth rank of the court, and his status was equal to that of the prefect. He wanted to come to the prefect's office to listen to the discussions, but there was no NPC that could stop him.

The prefect thought that Zhan Xiaobai would be very helpful to him and immediately said, "Please please!"

Soon, Zhan Xiaobai, who was fully equipped with level 40 Jinggang armor, wearing a white battle robe, and was about to be equipped with level 40 steel sword, appeared at the entrance of the hall, dressed in a handsome general, and his official power appeared faintly. He glanced at the NPC bureaucrats in the hall, his eyes stopped on Ma Min, Zhang Lin, and Jia An, and then looked at the others.

These three NPCs are the same group of filial and honest people recommended to the court by the prefect, all of whom are already in the sixth rank official positions. Zhan Xiaobai has some impression of them.

The NPCs in the hall were shocked and felt that Zhan Xiaobai's eyes were extremely majestic and hot, so they avoided them. The low-level bureaucrats and ordinary NPCs did not dare to look directly at Zhan Xiaobai's "official power". They did not understand what Zhan Xiaobai was doing with his fully armed arms.

Ma Min clearly showed a disdainful expression and disagreed with Zhan Xiaobai's behavior.

Zhang Lin was very surprised and looked at the fifth-rank official talisman on Zhan Xiaobai's waist, his eyes were also hot.

Jia An's expression was quite puzzled. Logically speaking, Zhan Xiaobai did not need to participate in such a meeting.

Only the prefect was not affected by Zhan Xiaobai at all, and laughed and said, "Ha, what kind of wind has invited Lord Xiaobai, please sit down."

"Thank you!"

Zhan Xiaobai didn't say much, and strode into the hall and sat down in a seat next to the prefect.

The audience discussed.

After a while, Zhan Xiaobai had already clearly distinguished the situation in the hall. Ma Min had the most supporters, accounting for nearly half, and the Ma family was extremely arrogant. Judging from this situation, in the end, Ma Min would be the chief lieutenant. This is not very good.
