Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1207 Absurd Country Fight
The Feng Yiyou clan was not originally a famous family in Guanzhong in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. The real prosperity of the family began with You Ziyuan, a famous official of the Han and Zhao Dynasties.

Guanzhong has been in chaos for a long time, and the people suffered from suffering and tyranny frequently. Anyone who can get one or two shelters will not hesitate to give up their homes and donate.You Ziyuan, as one of the few famous ministers under Liu Yao's command in the Han Dynasty, was inevitably attached to the villagers, so his family became a wealthy family.

The main clan of the family lives in Dali, and the branch living in Xiagui County is only a partial branch.But even so, the You family of Xiabu should not be underestimated. Its home Wubi is located on the northern edge of Jinshipi, surrounded by seven or eight docks, all of which are closely connected and closely related. As far as Pucheng in the north, it can be said that it is the sphere of influence of his family.

Before Hongwu Army Wang Shi entered the country, the You clan far surpassed the Zhai clan in terms of both the villages controlled and the population of Xiangqu.And the reason why the Zhai family was eager to seek refuge with Master Wang was also because if this momentum continued, they might fear family extinction, so they had no choice but to form a strong support and seek self-help.

With the establishment of the county government of Xiagui, the influence of the Zhai family in the village is increasing day by day, while the You family is gradually weakening, and even some villagers who used to be attached to their family have gradually changed their families.

"It's really hateful for the old slave to bully others!"

On the wall of Youshiwu, an old man with gray beard was full of anger and roared angrily.On the desk in front of him was a bamboo slip, which came from the so-called Xiagui County Office, which recorded many crimes of the so-called You Clan, such as insulting villagers, occupying farmland, and so on.

These deeds cannot be said to be non-existent, but the problem is that in such a world, if a countryman wants to survive, these are common and necessary means.If all of these can be counted as crimes, then what good is the Zhai family?But fifty steps laugh at a hundred steps, and it's not because of unwillingness, but because of lack of strength.

Even the reason why the two families had a grudge was that in a certain year not long ago, the Zhai family robbed You's close relatives of grain, and the You family came forward to mediate to no avail.After several rounds of mutual attack, the two sides suffered losses from each other, and the blood feud was forged.

This kind of verbal abuse would not have made the old man so angry. At the end of the key note, the old thief Zhai Ci put on a high-ranking attitude and told the old man to go to the county office to confess his guilt, otherwise there will be a powerful army to attack and punish the township. thief!

The old man's name is You Zhi, and he is the master of the You family. After roaring for a while, he was furious, grabbed the bamboo slip and threw it into the brazier, then looked at the other person in the table and asked: "Sanlang go to Pucheng, Liulang Heading towards Dali, is there any news coming back?"

The Xiagui County Office has been taking frequent actions in the village recently, so it is impossible for You to be completely unaware of it, and in fact, he has been thinking about countermeasures.

Originally when the Hongwu army entered, You Shi relied on the strength of his hometown and was suspicious and uncertain, so he did not dare to contact them rashly, and was snatched by the Zhai family, You Zhi didn't care much about this, in his opinion, although there were many rumors about the power of Wang Shi from the outside world Sheng, but a single brigade has gone so far, it is difficult to do anything, and it is not an easy thing for the Zhai family to take advantage of the situation.

What's more, there are tens of thousands of Han troops stationed in Pucheng, Dali and other places near Xiaju. Although the You clan of Xiabu did not receive the banner of the King of Han, the Dali family is a very important force in Dali city.How brilliant and brave the Hongwu army's record is, it's never been rumored, and their own army is weak, and it is impossible for them to be easily bewitched by the local traitors of the Zhai clan, and rashly invade the strong clan in the village.

Even if something happens, his Wubi family has been in business for a long time. As long as they can provide a little support, the Pucheng and Dali families in the rear will naturally not sit idly by. Anti-kill here.At that time, his family can also take advantage of this situation to completely eradicate the Zhai family's feud.

What really made You Zhi feel awe-inspiring was the news from Dali City earlier that the enemy's baggage team passed by around the city, and the Dali disciples, tens of thousands of people, actually sat on the opponent's crossing and did not dare to attack. The family sent people to spread a message and said that if there is a chance, they might as well communicate with this master, and even if it doesn't work, they can't fight against each other, so that his family loses room for choice.

This put You Zhi in a difficult situation. On the one hand, Zhai's Xiangqiu first colluded with the Jin army, and on the other hand, Pucheng, where the Tu army was stationed dozens of miles to the north of his home, did not dare to openly invite him with great fanfare. Good Jin army.

Under the circumstances that it is impossible to communicate with each other, You Zhi can only deepen the communication with Pucheng. For example, the precious goods such as tea leaves that have been scattered from the county office before, he let his Wubi secretly buy them at high prices and assemble them into a batch of gifts. Huo sent people to Pucheng, hoping that when the village was in danger, Pucheng could send troops to rescue.

Hearing You Zhi's question, all the members of the You Clan present were also a little apprehensive, and one of them asked in a low voice: "Could it be that the Zhai Clan is really going to join the Jin army to attack my house? This, this... recently came to the village There are many rumors in the middle, saying that the new general of the Jin army was bold and domineering, killing villagers indiscriminately..."

"The old dog Zhai Ci is incompetent in managing the family, and he has no regard for the safety of the homeland, so he hastily attracted foreign invaders into our homeland. Since he dared to do this, why should my family worry about recruiting strong reinforcements, and simply fighting a fierce battle. If you go to the countryside and ruin it, see who the villagers should resent!"

You Zhi bitterly said that the reason why he didn't contact outsiders to completely eliminate the Zhai family earlier was because he was worried that it would be easy to ask the gods to send the gods away, or that foreign strongmen would take advantage of the situation to invade the country.

Although disputes were inevitable in the old state, his You clan is still the most powerful clan in the village after all, if someone occupies the dove's nest, it will inevitably be worth the loss.So Tu Fangfang invited him to buy several times, but he didn't respond.

But now the Zhai family has taken the lead and brought the strongman into the village. If he doesn't make a plan for self-help, the situation will be critical.

While talking, someone has hurried in from outside the hall, and the middle-aged strong man in front of him is the third son You Guang who was sent by You Zhi to Pucheng to invite him.After entering the hall, he was still waiting to worship his parents, but was interrupted by You Zhi impatiently waving his hand, and then asked: "This trip to Pucheng, have you seen Feng Yigong?"

The puppet Han Liu Changming proclaimed himself king, and his eldest son, Liu Xugen, was proclaimed Duke Feng Yi, who was currently sitting in Pucheng.

After hearing the words, You Guang shook his head: "Mr. Feng Yi's military affairs are heavy, and his son has not been seen after many requests, but he also sent someone to thank my family for donating to help the army, and rewarded a batch of bows and knives, and said that if my family gathers again like this Huozhu, please ask the king to grant the rank of general to my family..."

"His title is still swaying, so what use is I for his title!"

When You Zhi heard this, his expression became even more displeased, obviously very dissatisfied with the result: "Didn't you bribe him into his side and tell me that my hometown is difficult? If he waits and sees and does not enter, Xiagui will definitely be a Jin Everyone!"

"I follow my grandfather's teachings. It's just, it's just that Mr. Feng Yi sent people to tell people that the Jin army is rampant in the western region, and they are waiting for the reinforcements from the north to attack their army here. There is really no time to take care of them... But, but he also promised that if my family He can't stay in the village, but he can lead the crowd back into Pucheng, and he asks someone to welcome and settle down..."

"Hmph, Hu'er doesn't have a good heart either. He just took advantage of my poverty and tried to force me to run away and lead my people!"

Hearing this, You Zhi's face was ashen. After asking how many bows and knives were used, his face softened a little. , that Jin person may not dare to act rashly at this moment... Zhai thief has no such strong help, how dare he insult me ​​like this with his family's music audience alone! Since he wants to explain his arrogance, I will beat him back to his original form!"

Speaking of this, old You Zhi's face was already grim, and he assigned his relatives and disciples to give instructions at the banquet: "Go and tell the surrounding families, and quickly invite everyone to help me. If you can get rid of Zhai's thief, I will share it with the villagers. His relatives and family assets... In addition, we will raise food, goods and animals, and send them to the Jin army camp in Peishang, and tell me that I will kill the thief Zhai without any madness to disobey the king's order. The evil of the country, I would like to attract the crowd to join him and watch out for him to gather and disperse the army..."

"The dog thief wants to put me to death, this time I will fight him forever!"

When everyone in the You Clan heard the Patriarch's decision, they stopped talking and took orders to go to work separately.

Although there has been no rule in Guanzhong for a long time, the fights in the villages are quite organized. After the You family decided to fight the Zhai family to the death, a piece of proclamation soon spread out, and it spread throughout the Jin family's pond in a short time.As for the content of the call-to-action, there is really nothing to say. It is nothing more than You's being kind to others and having no intention of fighting in the village, but the Zhai's treachery has repeatedly violated the villagers, domineering wives and daughters, and seizing people's property and so on.

"It's ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous!"

In the Xiagui County Office, Zhai Ci also saw this so-called proclamation scribbled on a wooden slip for the first time, and he couldn't calm down. Before sitting still, he opened his mouth and said: "Jing Lue, can you see how cunning this villain of the You family is? His family is full of evil, and he wrote books to insult me! In my opinion, he should not have issued any orders earlier, and should have taken advantage of him. Unprepared, he gathered a crowd to kill him. Now that he has noticed, it is not good..."

Wang Meng was calm at this moment, put down the brush in his hand and said: "What the Ming government sees is only one-sided, and You Clan's treachery is more than that. Earlier, General Wang sent someone to sue me, saying that You Clan entered the camp and said that if Master Wang Not to interfere in the village fight, he is willing to attract people to join..."

"W-what... dog thief, dog thief!"

Hearing this, Zhai Ci's expression changed dramatically. He originally wanted to blame Wang Meng for his unnecessary actions, but now it was all gone. He took a step forward and grabbed Wang Meng's hand and said in a loud voice: "You dog thief!" It’s unbelievable to talk about evil! His family used the power of Hu to gain respect for the country, how could he use it for the king’s order...Jing Lue, you have worked with me for a long time, you should know that I am loyal and sincere! Please be sure to tell me General Wang, don't be fooled by the local thieves..."

Wang Meng stood up, raised his hand and pressed Zhai Ci on the mat, and said with a calm smile, "Don't be impatient in the Ming Dynasty. The king's order is upright, and he will not be disturbed by the voice of the country! In order to demonstrate the power of the criminal order, how can it be used as an ordinary village fight! You's reckless self-saving in this way shows that his family is far from the rules and regulations. The Ming government should not be troubled by personal affairs at the moment, and should enforce the law strictly and punish the villains. Then gather the virtuous elders of the village and announce why they were killed."

"Yes, yes... But Jing Lue must believe me, and General Wang, please don't doubt me. I killed You Clan not because of selfish desires, but because the king's order and laws do not allow light insults! Village violators have violated the ban, and they will not change after repeated admonitions. Not killing is not enough..."

Hearing that Wang Meng was still firmly supporting him, Zhai Ci was so moved that his eyes were wet.
