Chapter 634 The Final Battle is About to Begin! The Last Glory of the Aristocratic Families?
Hua Xin shook her head.
Cao Cao's camp had troops in every province except Jiangdong.
Even if they were incredibly lucky and actually defeated Cao Cao once, they would still be besieged and attacked by Cao Cao's army one after another afterward.
To be precise, Ju Zong had no choice but to rebel this time.
Rebellion is often a means of self-preservation.
Chen Gong pointed to the direction of the Yellow River ferry on the map and said:
"It is unrealistic to defeat Cao Cao's army."
"But as long as you can show your fighting spirit and hold off Cao Cao's first wave of attacks."
"This would give us the opportunity to rally prominent families from all over the world to respond actively."
"Cao Cao's camp is in chaos in all the provinces, and the war has to be forced to end!"
Before he could finish speaking, Ju Zong sneered:
"Chen Gongtai, do you think you're the only smart person in the world?"
"Besides my Jizhou family and Youzhou family, the only other prominent families that can be considered respectable today are Yuzhou, Nanyang, Guanzhong, Xuzhou, and Yizhou."
"The prominent families of Xuzhou, Yizhou, and half of the prominent families of Nanyang all follow Su Ziyi's lead."
"These people have absolutely no guts to rebel."
"They won't feel pain unless the knife falls on them!"
"The remaining aristocratic families of Yuzhou, Guanzhong, and the other half of the aristocratic families of Nanyang shall obey Zhong Yuanchang's orders."
"But do you know that this scheme targeting the aristocratic families of Ji Province and You Province was actually devised by Zhong Yuanchang?"
"It was him who sent people to spread rumors within my Jizhou territory, saying that the aristocratic families of Jizhou were going to rise up in rebellion with Yuan Shao's posthumous son!"
"Ha... Even Yuan Benchu is not worthy of making the Ju family bow down, let alone a mere posthumous child?"
Chen Gong patted Ju Zong on the shoulder and met Ju Zong's eyes with a look that suggested he was looking at an idiot.
"Ju Zong, are you a smart man or a fool?"
"Didn't you notice that Su Ziyi and Zhong Yuanchang have completely different goals?"
"Su Ziyi is hiding behind the scenes, using Zhong Yuanchang to attack you."
"But according to Su Ziyi's plan, in the near future, there will be no more aristocratic families in Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou and other places!"
"This is not what Zhong Yuanchang wanted at all!"
"Zhong Yuanchang still doesn't realize that he has been deceived by Su Ziyi!"
"What Zhong Yuanchang wants is for all the aristocratic families in the world to respect him as their leader. "Just like your brother and Yuan Kui pursued throughout their lives, to become the true leader of the aristocratic families and establish a brand new dynasty that belongs only to them!"
"But what if there are no more aristocratic families in the world, or what if the overall strength of the aristocratic families suffers a major blow?"
"What's the point of him being the head of this powerful family?"
Upon hearing this, Ju Zong was suddenly startled.
The way he looked at Chen Gong was filled with both fear and admiration.
Chen Gong truly deserves to be called an unparalleled veteran "anti-Cao Cao fighter" in the world.
Su Yu deceived Zhong Yao and Ju Zong, remaining silent as the mastermind behind the scenes.
It may seem like they're just going through the motions, but in reality, they have everything under control.
However, Chen Gong, who was deeply aware of Su Yu's "evil" nature, saw through Su Yu's deep-seated scheme.
Zhong Yao's plan was simply to eliminate Ju Zonghuaxin, who was a third-party force.
After being eliminated, the powerful families of Ji and You provinces are leaderless and will surely choose a new patron.
At that time, Zhong Yao will be able to gather the power of these two states and use it for his own purposes.
Su Yu, however, wanted to eliminate the problem completely.
Completely eradicate the powerful families of Ji and You provinces!
As for the old Plain White Banner opportunist Bingzhou family next door, compared to the aristocratic families of Jizhou and Youzhou, they can only be considered appetizers.
Besides, it was Wang Chang and Dong Zhao, from the powerful families of Bingzhou, who killed him.
What does this have to do with Lu Xun? What does this have to do with Su Yu?
Reminded by Chen Gong, Ju Zong forced himself to calm down.
He stroked his chin and asked:
"Mr. Chen means that I should expose Su Ziyi's conspiracy and cooperate with Zhong Yuanchang?"
Chen Gong stroked his beard and laughed:
There are no permanent friends in this world, only permanent interests.
"Speaking of which, this is also your fault."
"If you don't intend to fight a losing battle and provoke both Su Ziyi and Zhong Yuanchang, do you think they'll put aside their past grievances and eliminate you from the game first?"
"To lay a hand on family members, huh? You really have some nerve!"
"If your brother were still alive, he wouldn't have done something so irrational!"
Ju Zong's face turned bright red after being mocked by Chen Gong, but he couldn't utter a single word in defense.
Ultimately, it was because Ju Zongtai took himself too seriously.
From the moment Mao Jie rebelled, Ju Zong believed that everything was under control.
Mao Jie was a member of Su Yu's camp and also a veteran of the Minister's office.
Such a person's decision to betray was completely unexpected.
In addition, Ju Zong also turned Mao Jie to the side.
They also replaced the old patriarch of the Nanyang Wang family, who was part of Zhong Yao's camp, and used the elders of the Nanyang Wang family to elect a puppet patriarch, Wang Ji, to the position.
Ju Zong made a very smooth start.
But then, Ju Zong's good fortune came to an end.
While Su Yu was still on his way back from the southern expedition, Mao Jie had already been suppressed by Fa Zheng and Lu Xun, dispatched by Xun Yu!
With Su Yu's help, Wang Ji later became the true clan chief in name and in fact.
And he quickly became part of Cao Ang's core team and was given important responsibilities.
All the gains made in the first wave of the offensive were wiped out!
Ju Zong was unwilling to give up, and before the first wave was over, he rushed to launch the second wave of attack.
He attempted to use Du Ji's wife and Du Ji's cousin, Du Zhou, to poison Su Yu, causing Su Yu's death in Zhong Yao's territory.
As a result, Su Yu saw through the plan.
Lady Du hanged herself as a result, which made Du Ji hate the mastermind Ju Zong.
The traitor Du Zhou also had his hands and feet cut off and was made into a figurine similar to Lady Qi's, which was given to Ju Zong as a New Year's gift.
The two attacks looked impressive, but they failed to harm Su Yu and Zhong Yao's fundamental strength at all.
In fact, it completely enraged Zhong Yao, who couldn't wait to launch a counterattack!
The Celestial Dragons still wield considerable influence, but Ju Zong is at best a minor Celestial Dragon in disguise.
Times have changed.
The glory of the British Empire is gone.
In the current version, the true leader of the aristocratic faction is Zhong Yao!
Having offended both Su Yu and Zhong Yao, Ju Zong feared his death would come too late.
Ju Zongshang was still shocked, and Hua Xin and Sima Hui were even more speechless.
If Chen Gong hadn't revealed the truth, the three of them probably would have truly believed that they had the upper hand.
It turns out it was all a trap set by Su Yu!
It's all a scam, a way to lure them into taking the bait!
The three of them suddenly felt adorably silly, like little pink pigs, clumsy and all they could do was purr and squeal.
Chen Gong sighed.
He thought to himself, "Luckily, he returned from outside the Han territory in time."
Otherwise, once Ju Zonghuaxin is eliminated.
Even if Zhong Yao later realized that he had been deceived by Su Yu, he could only grit his teeth and accept it.
But now, Ju Zonghua is still alive.
If we can persuade Zhong Yao to remain neutral, or betray Su Yu.
The outcome is still uncertain!
