Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 280
"Father, this is exactly what my son is worried about. If Zheng Bao and other bandits lead troops to come, our Zhijiazhuang will not be able to fight back. The best result is that we flee to another country alone! And I think that the local county soldiers And I will not stop these bandits at all, because they are all together, after the bandits rob us of our money and food, they will secretly hand it over to Liu Xun! For Liu Xun to develop his own strength!" Zhi Yue said.

"Then what should we do?" Zhi Heng sighed.

"Father, my son just got the news that Feng Shijun has completely occupied the entire Xuzhou, and sent Zang Ba to replace Kong Rong as Qingzhou governor. Now Zang Ba has occupied half of Qingzhou! Feng Shijun's father-in-law Wen Hou Lubu will soon occupy all of Yanzhou, and Feng Shijun's father, Yuan Shu, has greater influence in Yangzhou than before!" Zhi Yue said immediately.

Zhi Heng was in a daze, unable to believe that Feng Yao had become so powerful in such a short period of time, he came back to his senses after a while, and asked in surprise: "You mean that this other Sima of yours was appointed by Feng Yao himself?"

"That's right, my boy has already said that this seal is from Mr. Feng!!" Zhiyue smiled.

"Why didn't you say it earlier!" Zhi Heng complained.

The elder Zhi En, who has passed the sixtieth year, laughed at this moment, and said, "Yue'er, you are right, we must rely on the big tree of Feng Shijun! Maybe this is what will allow our family to escape The only way out of this calamity!!"

Zhiyue smiled and said: "Uncle, father, the road ahead of us now is to quickly use the accumulation of our family over the past few decades, use Feng Shijun's appointment document to recruit troops, and help Feng Shijun Undo the siege of Runan County!! As long as we can break the siege of Runan County, our clan will surely win the trust of Mr. Feng, even if Liu Xun does not give up, we can take this opportunity and move to Runan!
"What is this small amount of wealth in front of me!! I believe that one day, Shijun Feng will be able to dominate the great Han, and our clan will earn a thousand times, a hundred times what it is now!! Even..., even recovering the moon Zhiguo!"

"Liberate Yuezhi Kingdom...!" Zhi En murmured, his eyes moistened.

"Okay! Yue'er, I'm going to fight this time for my father! I will use all the resources of the family to help you raise troops and assist Feng Shijun!" Zhi Heng slapped the table vigorously, stood up, and looked into the distance, showing expectation .

After a long time, several people calmed down from the excitement, and Zhi Heng said worriedly: "If Liu Xun wants to raise troops to conquer us, what should we do? After all, this other Sima was only entrusted by Yuzhou pastoralists, not Yangzhou pastoralists. It's sealed, if Liu Xun really admits the truth, I'm afraid that in the eyes of outsiders, our name is not right, and our words are not right!"

At this time, the elder Zhi En suddenly laughed and said: "Patriarch, don't worry about this matter, have you forgotten one thing? You have forgotten why our Zhi clan has always been on good terms with Haihunhou all these years Is it? In fact, this is a back road left by your father long ago!!"

Zhi Heng's eyes lit up, and he realized: "The elder is still wise, how could I have forgotten this!!"

"Father, you are talking about Haihunhou in Shangliao City, 180 miles away from here?" Zhi Yue asked in surprise.

Haihunhou is a clan member of the Liu family of the great Han Dynasty. He has been operating in Haihun County for more than [-] years, and the money and grain he earned have filled the warehouse. Finally, in the valley more than [-] miles west of Haihun County, he built a new city next to Liaoshui. , named Shangliao City, which is specially used for the Liu family to live in the city and store the money and food they earn every year.

And because they are far away from the Central Plains, and because they are relatives of the Liu family, all Haihunhous of the past dynasties relied on training to have a moat team to prevent bandits from plundering money and food, and this was also acquiesced by the emperor, so more than ten generations Later, Haihunhou developed extremely rapidly in the local area. There are nearly [-] children of the Liu surname alone. Although only a small number of people have obtained the title and become city guards, all the Liu surnames have practiced martial arts diligently since childhood. The purpose is to protect the clan when it is invaded, so that it can protect it!
Therefore, although Haihunhou is only a prince with the surname of Liu, compared with other princes with the surname of Liu who have feudal states, his secret power is hundreds of times stronger.

If you can get Haihunhou's help, why be afraid of Liu Xun!

Zhi Heng glanced at Zhi Yue, with complex eyes, a smile in his eyes, nodded and said: "Yes! I think we can use Haihunhou's influence to make Liu Xun dare not take any action in the early stage, as long as this can give Let's fight for ten days. I believe that we can at least recruit more than [-] elite soldiers! And more than [-] miscellaneous soldiers!! With these troops, we can take the opportunity to attack Jiangxia. I think this is also Haihunhou All you want to see!!"

"Okay! I agree with this matter! But in my opinion, this matter should be carried out in two steps at the same time!!" Elder Zhi En said.

Seeing that the elder had something to say, Zhi Heng and Zhi Yue stopped and looked at the elder Zhi En.

Zhi En said: "First of all, although we have a good relationship with Haihunhou, as far as I know, Haihunhou never does things that are not profitable! This time we want to get Haihunhou's help, we must You have to be willing to give a heavy gift! So I decided that Clan Chief Zhiheng will go to Shangliao City in person to pay homage to Marquis Haihun!"

"Secondly, Zhi Yuelai has full power to handle the local recruitment. However, it's best to do it secretly in the early stage. After you have a certain strength, you can open the recruitment. I think it's best to wait for Haihunhou's support before making it public. Most suitable!"

Zhi Heng nodded and said: "According to the elder's words, I will set off after I briefly explain the family affairs, but I don't know what kind of gift I want this time, if I bring gold and silver, the mountain is high and the water is far away , and it’s inconvenient, and it’s inconvenient to escape if you encounter robbers.”

At this moment Zhi Yue suddenly said: "Father, the boy has a plan, but I'm afraid that Father won't like it!"

"You bastard, this is a matter of life and death for our family, even if you are a foolish father, you can't disagree!" Zhi Heng scolded with a smile.

Zhi Yue smiled, but still didn't dare to say it, Zhi Heng couldn't help being startled when he saw this, suddenly raised his brows, and reprimanded: "You must be trying to trick your sister! You bastard, she He is only 12 years old now, and Haihunhou is already in his 40s!! I will never agree to this!!”

Zhi Yue was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head.

"By the way, I heard that Marquis Haihun has several sons, and the fourth son is almost 15 years old this year! Are you referring to him?" Zhi Heng was taken aback.

"Neither! Father, you have misunderstood the meaning of the child!" Zhi Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she didn't expect his father to think of this aspect, so let's just say it straight, hit and scold, anyway, he is his own son, What else can I be afraid of! !So Zhi Yue plucked up her courage, coughed dryly, and then took three steps back.

"Father, think about it, the Marquis of Haihun has been in the Haihun area for more than 200 years. Will he be short of money? Will he be short of beauties? Will he look up to a small and humble family like ours?" Zhi Yue said.

"Hmm..., probably not!!" Zhi Heng hesitated, frowning.
