Since Dong Zhuo deposed the emperor, he was appointed as the prime minister in order to show his superiority to the court officials.

Luoyang City fell into unprecedented chaos, from the emperor's court officials to the common people, they were in a nightmare day and night.

"well……"

Li Ru, who was sitting alone in the yard, sighed at the moon drinking, and he never thought that in just a few months, the decisive and ambitious Dong Zhuo, who used to be, became like this.

The filthy palace, the illegitimate killing of court officials, the empress dowager to death, and the deposed emperor Hongnong to death were all rebellious acts that were untolerable by heaven.

The evil deeds of indulging subordinates to burn, kill, loot and plunder are even more of their own destruction.

The deposed emperor was an act of establishing authority and seizing power. Supporting King Chenliu as the emperor could gradually make Dong Zhuo a legitimate powerful minister. The deposed emperor by court officials was not a precedent in Dong Zhuo. There were precedents in the history of the Han Dynasty, but Dong Zhuo's subsequent actions were completely contrary to what Li Ru planned.

Is it because I have been resentful for a long time, and now the power is in turmoil?

Li Ru didn't know either. He only knew that this father-in-law's heroic path was almost over.

At the end of this year, Cao Cao assassinated Dong alone. Although he failed, he became famous all over the world. It was Dong Zhuo who informed the world that he had arrested Cao Cao and helped Cao Cao a great favor, allowing his name to spread throughout the country in an instant.

Cao Cao, who fled to Chenliu, spent all his family's wealth and recruited 5,000 soldiers, issued a manifesto to the heroes of the world to fight against Dong, listing Dong Zhuo's atrocities, and wished that all the aspiring people in the world would join together to join the righteous army and go to the national crisis together!

After Cao Cao's proclamation to fight against Dong was released, the world was shocked. At this time, Cao Cao's fame reached another peak. It can be said that no one in the world knows you!

After seeing Cao Cao's proclamation against Dong, Yuan Shao fell directly to the ground and cursed angrily: "Cao Aman, if you dare to miss me a big deal, I will not forgive you!"

Xu You, who was standing beside him, turned his eyes and seemed to understand why Yuan Shao got angry.

If the traitor in today is Dong Zhuo, if Dong Zhuo is destroyed, then if the princes from all over the country fight each other, they will become the target of public criticism.

Yuan Shao, who is growing his own strength, needs a public enemy like Dong Zhuo to attract everyone's attention.

What's more, after Cao Cao's manifesto against Dong was released, his reputation suddenly rose, so how could Yuan Shao take it indifferently?

"Lord, Cao Aman calls on all the heroes of the world to attack Dong. The lord should go, not only to go, but also to take the opportunity to strengthen his prestige."

Xu You said nothing. How could Yuan Shao miss the opportunity if he valued fame so much?

The princes such as Yuan Shao, who had his own family and rose to the Bohai Sea, Ma Teng, who had just been recruited by Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu, who had not yet established a stable foothold in Nanyang, Gongsun Zan, the famous white horse general, Kong Rong, the representative of Confucius' great-grandson Confucianism, etc., responded to Cao Cao's discussion on the Dong Club this time, and some figures, such as Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, Wang Kuang, etc., are not worth mentioning.

But there is a person who went to the alliance and has to be mentioned.

On the official road heading north from Jingzhou, less than a thousand people of remnants moved slowly forward with sorrow.

The erect Sun Ce wiped off the blood on his face. Seeing his father Sun Jian’s sluggish look, he couldn’t help but say, “Father, we can go back to Jiangdong at the worst. We will definitely make a comeback in the future, so there is no need to be depressed.”

Sun Jian was in a bad mood when he was disguised. When he heard Sun Ce's bold words, he just laughed at himself: "I regretted it. If I had heard the words of filial piety back then, how could I, Sun Wentai, end up like this?"

The four generals Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Zu Mao and Huang Gai were also looked gloomy when they heard Sun Jian's words, but Sun Ce gritted his teeth and looked furious.

"Let's go, the fourth generation and third generation of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu happens to gain a foothold in Nanyang. Let's take advantage of this opportunity to join Yuan Shu."

Sun Jian was full of bitterness, but had to bow to reality.

The tigers in Jiangdong also end up being able to live under someone else’s roof? How could it be?

Sun Wentai, who was ambitious to lead his army north to make achievements, killed Wang Rui, the Mu of Jingzhou who had been resentful for a long time!

All the Jingxiang clans rebelled! The clans in Jingzhou were in chaos and intercepted Sun Jian. Thirty thousand troops left Changsha. Now there are less than a thousand people under Sun Jian's command.

The hatred between the Sun family and Jingzhou was officially formed from then on, and it was only the beginning.

Jingzhou cannot go back, and Jiangdong cannot go back, because the Jiangdong gentry does not welcome Sun Jian. What's more, Sun Jian is now in a mess and cannot return home in glory. Who is willing to go back to escape?

The eighteen towns of princes gathered together, and Yuan Shao, who had many old officials from four generations and three officials, was elected as the leader of the alliance, and looked at Luoyang! The world was shocked!

The Sour Jujube Alliance is indeed a major event that makes the world hold its breath and focus on it.

But at this time, the Zhen family in Jizhou was also shaking the earth.

Zhen’s mother sat in the main seat of the lobby and cried heartbrokenly, sobbing and questioned Zhen Yu: “You said! Where is the money! The Zhen family, the richest man in the world, now they don’t have the money to build a house! How do you lead the family? Where has the money gone? Even if you squander all day and spend all your ten lives, why are there nothing left now?”

Zhen Yu, kneeling in the hall, lowered his head and said nothing, muttering to himself: The Zhen family is rich, but they can't stand the raising of hundreds of thousands of people and provide for tens of thousands of soldiers. Now the Zhen family has only the ancestral home left. Now the war is in chaos and business is losing money. Maybe in a few days, this ancestral home will be sold to supplement the family. However, if you sell the ancestral home, what's the use of supplementing the family? Where can you live?

Zhen’s mother was in a state of grief and furious in the lobby. Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao, who were eavesdropping outside the door, also understood.

A thought flashed through both of them: The Zhen family is over!

Zhen Tuo took Zhen Dao's hand and tried hard to pretend to be painful: "Three sisters, we are poor."

Zhen Dao also sniffed and said as if sobbing: "Yes, second sister, poor families want to sell their children."

"Who will we sell first?"

"Mom loves Mi'er the most, she will definitely not sell her."

"Sell the fourth sister first?"

"Whoever buys the fourth sister will be unlucky."

"My elder sister is old and can't sell it much, so she can only sell it to me."

"I heard that the children sold are miserable."

"Yes, yes, the worst thing in the world. Let me sell it to the worst person in the world for the Zhen family."

"Who is the worst in the world?"

"Of course it's Brother Fengxiao. He killed his third brother. Isn't he the worst person?"

"Hey? Second sister, let's sell me."

...

"Mom, do you really want to hear the truth from the child?" Zhen Yu felt that it was almost time to tell his mother about the matter, after all, the Zhen family had completely emptied it.

"Um?"

After questioning for several days, there was no response. Zhen’s mother had already given up and caught Zhen Yu and scolded him. Unexpectedly, he spoke now.

"The Zhen family's money..."

After Zhen Yu finished speaking, Zhen’s mother cried even harder.

"Are you going to push the Zhen family into the fire pit? Then Guo Jia wants to rebel, and you will rebel too? What's the point of him that you don't even frown when you give the Zhen family to him? Are you surnamed Guo or Zhen?"

Zhen Yu knelt on the ground and his legs were so painful. He tilted his body and sat down and beat his legs weakly and said helplessly: "Mom, why don't you think so. Now the Zhen family has nothing left, and it's about to fight. The eighteen princes are in the Chenliu National Alliance under Jizhou. The Zhen family is either sitting and waiting for death or following Guo Jia to die. What if Guo Jia is dominating one side? Isn't the Zhen family more prosperous than before?"

"Brother! Is it true? Third brother is not dead? Are we going to find Brother Fengxiao?"

Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao ran into the lobby together, pounding Zhen Yu's legs on the left and right, with a cute smile on his face.

Zhen’s mother was stunned at first, and then continued to cry, pointing at Zhen Yu and her two sisters while crying, and said, “You, you are all traitors, how can my Zhen family produce unworthy descendants… Will Guo Jia treat the Zhen family well? Can’t you hide all the birds? Can’t you bring up old accounts to harm us?”

I knew that my mother had figured it out now. She had already made a fortune and could only go with the flow. Anyway, Guo Jia couldn't spit out the Zhen family's huge family business. Instead of waiting for death, it would be better to go out and fight.

Zhen Yu avoided Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao and stood up, and said casually: "Mom, okay, let me tell you this, don't think about it. It won't take long for the Zhen family to leave Jizhou together."

"Where do you go?" Zhen's mother's eyes were red and swollen, and she stared at Zhen Yu in a daze.

It is estimated that the mother has been stagnant at this moment. Zhen Yu said naturally: "If Guo Jia rebelled and robbed someone's territory, the Zhen family will go there."

"Can't you rob the Jizhou Patriarch's territory?"

Zhen’s mother was ten thousand unwilling to leave Jizhou. She had a deep affection for her hometown, which was understandable.

Zhen Yu sighed and didn't explain anything. Grabbing territory is not about grabbing it, but he can grab it as soon as he wants.

Zhen Yu walked out of the lobby, shook his head and sighed, and happened to see his second brother Zhen Yan hurried back to the house, so he stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter panic?"

Zhen Yan grinned and said, "Brother, I am excited. Fengxiao has sent us a letter to let us set off next month. He has sent a hundred dead soldiers to escort the Zhen family. Although these dead soldiers are young, they are all orphans adopted by Fengxiao since childhood. They are loyal to Fengxiao and have excellent martial arts skills. I just rushed back from the capital. I sent all the ten thousand soldiers and horses in Zhongshan Kingdom to send to Han Fu Alliance for use."

When Zhen Yu heard this, he was anxious and said, "Well? Where are the weapons, armor and horses?"

Zhen Yan laughed and said, "I have made arrangements long ago, so I asked them to go directly to Han Fu. These equipment and war horses are already on the way to Fengxiao."

Then Zhen Yu, who breathed a sigh of relief, touched his chin, and a struggle appeared on his face, as if there was something difficult to decide.

When Zhen Yan saw this, he couldn't help but ask in confusion: "What are the worries about brother?"

Zhen Yu pointed to the ground and whispered: "Will you sell the ancestral home?"

Zhen Yan thought about it, shook his head and said, "In theory, it should be sold, but if it is sold, it will easily attract the attention of others. It is better to leave it to hide the attention of others. Besides, the money and food that the Zhen family has sponsored for filial piety in the past two years is difficult to calculate, and it is not enough for the money of this ancestral home."

A look of pity appeared on his face. Zhen Yu was reluctant to leave his ancestral home, and secondly, he felt that the ancestral home might be occupied by some powerful people in the future, and he always felt uncomfortable.

A month later, the Zhen family left Jizhou under the cover of a caravan. It was not until the Jizhou Mu Han Fu returned after the alliance ended and found that the Zhen family, which had been coveted by him for a long time, had nothing left in Jizhou.
