First, he was humiliated and scolded by Xu Zhixun. When Xu Wen's son Xu Zhixun passed by Xu Zhigao the next time, he looked at him with extreme contempt. He then let out a disdainful voice, and then left.

Xu Zhigao stood up solemnly until the two so-called brothers walked far away, and slowly raised their heads. A ruthless and fierce look also faded in his eyes.

The eldest son of Xu Zhixun, the adopted father Xu Wen, and the second son Xu Zhixun, were usually arrogant and extravagant and domineering. When they were in a state of joy and joy, Xu Zhigao was like a housekeeper in the Xu family's mansion early on, and he was in charge of all the affairs of all the things in the Xu family's mansion. At least Xu Wen attached great importance to his adopted son. He had already been planning to transfer Xu Zhigao to the local area for his experience and then transfer based on his qualifications and achievements.

But Xu Zhigao also knew very well that he was loyal and filial to Xu Wen, but he was not the biological flesh and blood of his adoptive father after all... Although Xu Wen treated him very seriously, it can now be seen that he was deliberately cultivating him to assist his eldest son Xu Zhixun. The foundation of the Xu family will only be inherited by the righteous brother who regarded him as a slave.

Not only after Xu Wen was adopted as his adopted son, but he was first adopted by the previous king Yang Xingmi. If he performed too well as an outsider, Yang Xingmi's eldest son Yang Wo wanted to kill him to vent his anger...

Even if Zhu Wen scolded the sons under his knees as pig dogs, he wanted to pass on his adopted son Zhu Youwen; later, the father-in-law of Zhou, Guo Wei, was killed by Emperor Yin of Han, so he passed on his adopted son Chai Rong... Although there were monarchs in the late Tang and Five Dynasties, it was best for the princes and ministers to adopt adopted sons, and if there were any choice among the children of the birth, it would not be the turn of adopted sons to inherit the family business.

So Xu Zhigao could only accept it. After all, his future fortune and life can only be controlled by Xu Wen's eldest son Xu Zhixun... However, he found that no matter how humble he was, he could not dispel Xu Zhixun. Xu Zhixun's suspicion and hatred of his righteous brothers, which also made Xu Zhigao's thoughts suddenly arise in his heart, and a decisive sharp light suddenly burst out in his eyes:

King Yang Wo of Wu, also the eldest son of the previous king, was the eldest son of the king of Wu. He was the one who was the king of Wu... But Yang Wo was arrogant and eventually died of his own way, and he conspired with Zhang Hao to kill him... With Xu Zhixun's character and talent, if it were not for his blood and flesh, he would not be worthy of inheriting the Xu family's foundation in the future...

Even if the opportunity is slim, if I can have the opportunity to inherit my adoptive father's family business... I must seize it anyway. Otherwise, even if I wear a brocade robe and do my best to do my filial piety for my adoptive father, in the eyes of Xu Zhixun and Xu Zhixun, I am still just a dog adopted by his Xu family!

Until Li Tianqu returned to Bianjing, the Wu State had not even completed the transfer of kings. Zhang Hao, who killed the master, not only threatened the civil and military officials of the Wu State, but also sent soldiers to put them under house arrest. At present, he regarded himself as the acting monarch of the Wu State, but in the eyes of the world, of course, he was a rebel minister who was not just accused of usurping power.

"In theory, Zhang Hao should not be so impatient. It seems that once he has the intention of being unjust, he will not only become more and more arrogant, but also make people confused... Zhang Hao sent envoys to recruit Wu generals in various vassal states in Rongwei, and the state prefectures. But even if he killed Yang Wo, he had to do it... Now he has imprisoned Yang Xingmi's other descendants, and his desire to usurp the throne is obvious. Who is willing to submit to him if the rest of the Wu Kingdom still holds military power?"

When he returned to the inner court of Bianjing, he only took a short rest and rectified. In the imperial study, Li Tianqu heard the eunuchs and clerks report the progress of the chaotic situation in the Wu Kingdom in the south, and he couldn't help but sneer and said.

It is said that under the command of Yang Xingmi, the founding leader of the Southern Wu, Li Shenfu, Yuan Xi, Tian Feng, Liu Cun, Tai Meng... Although the generals and advisers who followed him to fight the country died of illness, betrayal, and died in battle, a group of people had been damaged due to the reasons of illness, betrayal, and death in battle, there were still Liu Wei, Tao Ya, Li Yu, and Li Jian, etc., Wu's generals were in charge of the military.

According to the official history line, even if Xu Wen, who was looking for advice, defeated Zhang Hao, the generals such as Liu Wei and Tao Ya, were not convinced and Xu Wen controlled the government. After all, among the "thirty-six heroes" who followed Yang Xing to conquer the country, Xu Wen was the most flawless in terms of reputation and achievements. The younger brother of the past had to ride on his head to give orders, and of course they would not obey.

However, in history, Xu Wen had Yankei asked for help and killed Li Yu's family, who had also participated in the assassination of King Yang Won's retrograde movement, shocked the rest of the meritorious generals and had to obey, so he quickly stabilized the situation in Wu... It was also because Xu Wen had already supported Yang Won's younger brother Yang Longyan as the main force, and had already controlled the center of Wu's power;

But now Zhang Hao is eager to achieve success, putting his sons in the previous princes under his jurisdiction and threatening his ministers in the court. His approach is too simple and crude. He also informed the generals of the Wu army under his rule in the manner of a king... So what would happen to Yang Xingmi's confidant ministers like Liu Wei, Tao Ya, and Li Yu?

What's more, in addition to his first seniority to follow Yang Xingmi, Zhou Ben, a powerful general who is now in Xinzhou, was known for his life in fighting in the army, and was even more loyal to the Yang family of Wu.

In response to the situation in Wu, Li Tianqu just instructed his ministers to watch the show, because it is believed that the current situation in Wu would only become more turbulent and chaotic... Zhou Ben had already commanded 7,000 soldiers and horses, shouted the slogans of rescuing the royal family of the previous kings and killing usurping traitors, and then rushed to Xuanzhou, the Ningguo army's capital.

Xinzhou, which Zhou Ben guarded, was originally a prefecture in Shezhou between Xuanzhou... Now, the governor of Shezhou is also a fellow townsman of Yang Xingmi, and Tao Ya, among the "Thirty-six Heroes", was still watching the situation, but when he saw the angry Zhou Ben took the initiative to come, he asked when he met him, even though Yang Wo's son was hateful and suppressed us for no reason, now Zhang Hao's thief not only killed the king, but also controlled the descendants of the previous prince, which was obviously to usurp the throne and reincarnate himself. As the confidant of the previous king, you should send troops to settle the chaos as soon as possible. What are you waiting for?

After being urged by Zhou Benyi's righteous words, Tao Ya had to respond immediately. The total number of soldiers and horses on both sides was 18,000. In less than a few days, they rushed to the boundary of Jingde County in the southern corner of Xuanzhou.

At the same time, since Changzhou in the east was captured by the Wu Yue Kingdom, another Wu general transferred to Raozhou, Li Yu, had also led his troops to Poyang to set off, and also raised the banner of quelling rebellion and killing traitors. He went north through Jingdezhen and entered the boundary of Chizhou. In less than a long time, he would arrive under the jurisdiction of Xuanzhou in the east...

Although Zhang Hao was also an old minister of the Wu Kingdom who followed the former lord Yang Xingmi very early, when it comes to marching and fighting skills, he would definitely not be as good as Zhou Ben, Tao Ya, and Li Yu, who experienced countless killing formations and made real achievements. Moreover, most of the Zuoya Army troops controlled by him were used to detain the royal family of the Wu Kingdom and the civil and military officials.

The other Wu army in Rongwei Xuanzhou was not Zhang Hao's direct military brigade. Now even if there are not a few troops coming to fight, they are already likely to mutiny... How could they fight to the death for Zhang Hao? Therefore, Zhou Ben, Tao Ya, and Li Yu each commanded the army of their respective troops and encountered almost no resistance. They were soon killed at the vassal capital of Ningguo Army, and even under Xuanzhou Xuancheng, the capital of Wu.

At the same time, Xu Wen, who had originally conspired with Zhang Hao to kill King Yang Won of Wu, but was still in a stubborn manner, immediately claimed that he would join forces with Zhou Ben, Tao Ya, and Li Yu to jointly fight against the army generals. In order to protect the royal family, he would be necessary to kill the rioters who killed the lord and usurped the power as soon as possible...
