Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 97 Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan is coming

The second lady Zhen Mi also heard what Zhang Sui said.

She almost broke her silver teeth.

This scoundrel dares to say that he is just a nobody!

In the future, you will regret it!

The group came to the lady's study.

There was no one else in the lady's study at this time.

She was wearing a thin black gauze dress and kneeling in front of the desk, flipping through the bamboo slips with a serious look on her face.

Zhang Sui saw it from afar and felt mixed emotions.

It’s been a month!
It's been a whole month since I last saw her.

A month passed and she seemed to be looking better again.

Zhang Sui sighed secretly.

It is true that “beauty is in the eyes of the beholder”.

Before I kissed her, although I thought she was a top-notch beauty, I didn’t think about her so much.

Now that we've kissed each other, I can't wait to watch it every day.

I haven't seen her for just a month, and I even think she looks better!

When the lady heard footsteps, she raised her head, swept her eyes over everyone, and finally stopped on Zhang Sui's face.

She felt inexplicably flustered.

However, now is not the time to think about this issue.

When the second son Zhen Yan, the second daughter Zhen Mi, Zhao Yun and Zhang Sui came in, the lady handed a bamboo tube to the second son Zhen Yan.

The second son Zhen Yan took the bamboo tube, opened the lid, pulled out a piece of cloth from it, and read it out: "The Jizhou government has issued a secret announcement. The eldest son Yuan Tan and his deputy Tian Feng will arrive in Wuji County on October 15th. All family leaders are requested to cooperate with the county magistrate and the county commander to prepare for their arrival."

October 15th is tomorrow!
After the Madam heard Second Master Zhen Yan finish his speech, she looked at everyone and asked, "How do we do it?"

The second young master Zhen Yan stood aside with his head hung, not saying a word.

The lady no longer has any idea of ​​him.

Since Zhang Sui had read her fortune last time, he had found out that among her three sons, only one could survive.

But after the medical worker found that the Second Young Master Zhen Yan was in serious health, she completely gave up hope.

Although she was very unwilling.

But she was helpless.

You can't force your second son to death.

Now the men in the Zhen family’s main family are the second and third sons.

The third son is still young and has not shown any extraordinary talent.

Now she can only pin her hopes on her second daughter.

Another thing is that after I remarry in the future, I will whisper in that man's ear and ask him to support the Zhen family.

Madam looked at the second young lady Zhen Mi and said, "Mi'er, what do you have to say?"

Second Miss Zhen Mi paused for a moment and said, "I don't know much about this, but the eldest son and his assistant came together. This is the first time in the past ten years that the eldest son and his assistant came together in Wuji County."

Glancing at Zhang Sui, the second lady Zhen Mi said, "Perhaps it is just as the chief secretary said, our Wuji County will soon start a war."

"We need to take precautions in advance."

The lady nodded and looked at Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun said: "I am only responsible for helping with training."

"After a month of training, the 1,200 members of the Zhen family are now basically capable of going to the battlefield."

Zhao Yun did not want to get involved in the power struggle within the Jizhou government.

Whether Qu Yi wins or Yuan Shao wins, it doesn't make much difference to him.

In his eyes, Qu Yi and Yuan Shao were birds of a feather and neither was a wise leader.

Not to mention, helping the Zhen family with advice and strategies.

The Zhen family is not even as good as Qu Yi and Yuan Shao.

It is only a matter of time before a declining family that does not even have a reliable male master is swallowed up by others.

The world is in chaos now and everyone is in danger.

He didn't have the heart to save so many people.

Before a wise leader appeared, he only wanted to protect Zhending County and his fellow villagers.

Helping with the training this time was also to repay Zhang Sui’s favor.

No matter what, Zhang Sui traveled thousands of miles to find his home, and painted for his sister and old mother with all his heart.

The lady nodded and said nothing.

From the very beginning, she knew that a powerful man like Zhao Yun did not want to help the Zhen family.

Of course, the Zhen family doesn’t have that condition.

The lady could only turn her gaze to Zhang Sui in the end.

Zhang Sui hesitated for a moment and said, "It will come sooner or later."

"This time they are coming, and the follow-up army should also come." "The war will happen in this short period of time."

"I think we can spread rumors first and make the four major families and their cowardly families evacuate here first."

"As for the Zhen family, the caravans are also temporarily prohibited from crossing the river."

"On the surface, we continue to open the warehouses to provide relief food, and on the other hand, we try to win the hearts of the refugees. After the war, our troops will only get smaller and smaller. If we win over the refugees, in case something unexpected happens, for example, our troops are completely wiped out, then urgently recruiting these refugees is the only way out."

"Besides, it will also help to please the other driver."

"I know Beijia a little bit. He is a rare and honest person in Jizhou government."

"We will open the warehouses to provide relief food, which will help the stability of Wuji County."

"This will easily increase the goodwill of other drivers towards us."

"In the future, when the Zhen family serves as officials in Jizhou, they will inevitably have to deal with Beijia."

"The good deeds we sow today will bear good fruits tomorrow."

"And secretly, we sold some of the food and fodder to the granary in Quliang through caravans."

Based on Zhang Sui's contacts with the Zhen family during this period, Zhang Sui knew that although the Zhen family was in decline and had no outstanding male master, they had no say in the government.

However, the Zhen family is still very wealthy.

There are many industries in Hebei.

Among them, Quliang has an industry and a granary.

Second Miss Zhen Mi frowned and asked, "Why was it sent to Quliang instead of Yecheng?"

Zhang Sui smiled and said, "I will explain this question later."

"Second Miss, can you let me finish first?"

Only then did the second lady Zhen Mi shut up.

Zhang Sui continued, “This war may affect Wuji County.”

"Send some of the food and fodder away to prevent any emergency."

"Although I think the Jizhou government will win, a partial defeat is possible."

"We, the Zhen family, have to ensure our own expenses."

"Moreover, even if the war does not affect Wuji County, if we have too much food and grass in Wuji County, they may be requisitioned at that time."

"At that time, no matter which force it is, it will be impossible for them to negotiate with us peacefully."

"At the same time, we can also disguise the Third Young Master and several other young ladies and have them follow the caravan to Quliang."

"Madam, please continue to stay here."

"Madam, you are the most important person in my Zhen family. If you stay here, you can at least show the Jizhou government that my Zhen family supports the Jizhou government."

"Correspondingly, the withdrawal of the four major families can further demonstrate the support of our Zhen family for the Jizhou government."

"In the past month or so, the four major families have not taken action against us, but this does not mean that their hatred towards us has been resolved. On the contrary, I'm afraid it has deepened."

"The reason why we didn't do anything was purely because there were so many people training outside our door every day."

"Besides, we are here under orders from Beijia."

"But once this war is over and our Zhen family's strength is weakened, they will definitely fight back."

"In that case, let's use this war to lower their position in the eyes of the Jizhou government."

"Their escape and Madam's stable reign in Wuji County will highlight the uniqueness of our Zhen family."

Finally, looking at the second young master Zhen Yan, Zhang Sui said: "Then let's watch the second young master's performance."

"If we can win this battle and gain military merit, the Second Young Master will surely be able to become an official."

"By then, we will have completely distanced ourselves from the four major families."

"They can only swallow their anger."

Zhao Yun glanced at Zhang Sui.

Some ideas indeed.

Unfortunately, his status was too low and he could only work like a slave for the Zhen family.

Madam asked, “Can you be more specific?”

Zhang Sui: “.”

Look at the second young master Zhen Yan.

But the second son Zhen Yan made a pleading gesture towards him.

The second lady Zhen Mi did not have any special reaction.

Zhang Sui felt a little excited.

Can you give more details?
That would be easy!
Zhang Sui coughed dryly and said, "This matter is confidential. The fewer people who know about it, the better."

The second son Zhen Yan hurriedly said, "Mother, let me go out and chat with those soldiers for a while."

The second lady Zhen Mi followed the second son Zhen Yan away.

The lady was about to call the two of them to stop.

But as she watched them leave, she opened her mouth and then closed it again.

Zhao Yun said: "In that case, I will take my leave first!"
