Chapter 707 Wuzhou Jiuyin, Jiang Family Xiaobai!
While Wu Qi won the battle and captured Qin Niu, the general of the Yellow Turban Army of Wuzhou, alive, the other vanguard army of Hengzhou, which was broken up into small groups by Zhao Gongming, Shebisi and others and fought dispersedly in Wuzhou, encountered difficulties!
Their opponents included Zhu Wen, who had been brought out by Huang Chao and returned to Wuzhou in disgrace after the battle of Rui, and his subordinates Ge Congzhou, Pang Shigu, Shi Shucong, Zhu Zhen, Li Tangbin, Huo Cun, Zhang Guiba, Zhang Guihou, Li Yanwei, Hu Zhen and others.

Not long ago, Zhu Wen learned that a good friend from his hometown had recently returned from his studies and was at home observing the situation in the world.

After learning the news, Zhu Wen immediately went to visit this fellow tribesman with generous gifts. Originally, this fellow tribesman looked down on Zhu Wen as a stray dog.

Although Zhu Wen was defeated, his ability made him a talent among the Yellow Turban Army, which was short of talent, and he also had many generals under his command, such as Ge Congzhou and Pang Shigu.

Therefore, although Zhu Wen was not one of the decision-makers of the Yellow Turban Army in Wuzhou, his status was not low.

So after Zhu Wen's constant persuasion for several months, this fellow clansman of Zhu Wen, although not explicitly expressing his willingness to work for Zhu Wen, also said that he would help him a few times if Zhu Wen needed it.

The fellow clan member that Zhu Wen had invited with great difficulty this time was named Zhu Jiuyin (Zhu Jiuyin)!

In addition to Zhu Wen, Zhao Gongming also encountered resistance from a group of troops led by local aristocratic families in Wuzhou who had defected to the Yellow Turban Army in Wuzhou.

Originally, these local noble families of Wuzhou wanted to temporarily join the Yellow Turban Army to see if they could use the huge manpower of the Yellow Turban Army to recruit more Yellow Turban soldiers for themselves and to plan for the future!

As a result, just when they had achieved some results, Hengzhou came calling and wanted to take advantage of the situation. Would they agree to this?
Of course not!

Therefore, this group of local aristocratic families in Wuzhou are also resisting with all their might.

The family that was the leader among these families was called the Jiang Family, and its head was named Jiang Xiaobai (Duke Huan of Qi)!

Under his command are many talented people such as Sun Bin, Tian Ji, Yan Ying, Xi Peng, Zhao Hu, Yi Ya, Kai Fang, Shu Diao, Chang Zhiwu, etc.!

At this time, Zhu Wen led the Wuzhou Yellow Turban Army under his command to fight against the Hengzhou vanguard army led by Zhao Gongming several times, and his troops suffered heavy losses.

In desperation, he had to quickly return to the rear and bring out the trump card he had been hiding - Zhu Jiuyin.

Zhu Jiuyin, although this name is not prominent in the Tianwu Continent today, it is well-known among the various schools of thought in the Tianwu Continent. It is said that he is proficient in Qimen Dunjia and has unparalleled wisdom.

When he came out of seclusion, he challenged the elders of many famous schools of thought, including Confucianism, Taoism, Yin-Yang School, Mohism, etc., and he was never defeated whether in a fight of martial arts or in a fight of literature!

Zhu Wen hurried back to the camp at the rear with some anxiety and anticipation.

Inside the tent, the candlelight flickered. Zhu Jiuyin was sitting quietly at his desk, flipping through ancient books, as if all the noise from the outside world had nothing to do with him.

Seeing Zhu Wen coming in, he slowly raised his head with a deep look in his eyes.

"Brother Jiuyin, I...I really have no other choice."

"Zhao Gongming of the Hengzhou Army is extremely cunning. My troops have suffered heavy losses. If this continues, Wuzhou will fall into the hands of the enemy."

As soon as Zhu Wen entered the door, he couldn't wait to speak, with a hint of helplessness and pleading in his tone.

"Brother Quanzhong, don't worry. Now that I'm here, I won't sit idly by. However, I'm afraid that we alone will not be able to fight against the Hengzhou army under Zhao Gongming who is backed by Hengzhou."

"I heard that there are several powerful families in Wuzhou, and they have a lot of soldiers. Why not attract them to fight against the foreign enemies together?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jiuyin gently closed the book in his hand and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Those noble families are interested in using the power of the Yellow Turban Army to strengthen themselves, but now that the Hengzhou Army is approaching, they may not be willing to join forces with us."

Zhu Wen's eyes lit up when he heard this, but then he showed a look of worry. "Interests drive people's hearts. Brother Quanzhong just needs to explain the reason to them, appeal to their emotions, and then promise them great benefits. I believe they will make a wise choice."

Zhu Jiuyin glanced at Zhu Wen and said with confidence.

As the intellectual leader among the twelve ancestor witches of the ancient witch clan, he could see the true nature of this group of Wuzhou families at a glance.

So, when night fell, Zhu Wen immediately sent envoys to invite Jiang Xiaobai and other leaders of the Wuzhou families to come and discuss matters.

Outside the tent, torches were burning brightly, illuminating every inch of land in the night, and also illuminating the hopes and anxieties in everyone's hearts.

Jiang Xiaobai, the patriarch of the Jiang family, was tall and strong with a resolute face. He slowly stepped into Zhu Wen's tent with a group of talented people under his command, including Tian Ji and Kuang Zhang.

As soon as they met, their eyes collided in the air, showing both scrutiny and expectation.

"Master Jiang, long time no see."

"Now that the Hengzhou army is coming with such force, if we cannot unite as one, I am afraid that Wuzhou will no longer belong to us."

Zhu Wen was the first to break the silence, with a hint of politeness in his tone.

"This person has an extraordinary temperament. He must be the trump card behind Zhu Wen."

Jiang Xiaobai smiled slightly, his eyes swept over everyone present, finally landing on Zhu Jiuyin, thinking secretly in his heart.

He had long learned from his spies in the Yellow Turban Army that Zhu Wen had recently invited back a master.

During this period, relying on the guidance of this master, Zhu Wen's status within the Yellow Turban Army rose rapidly. Even after the three monsters of Lion Camel Ridge and others fled, he took the opportunity to gather a lot of troops from the Wuzhou Yellow Turban Army.

"General Zhu Qu is right. Although my Jiang family does not want to get involved in this dispute, the Hengzhou army is going too far. If we let them succeed, how can my Wuzhou family maintain its reputation?"

"But, I wonder what good plan Zhu Qushuai has?"

Jiang Xiaobai looked at Zhu Jiuyin, who had an indifferent and silent expression, with interest, his eyes flashed, and he spoke slowly.

"Brother Jiuyin suggested that we break up into smaller units and use the terrain to our advantage to fight the Hengzhou Army."

"At the same time, each family can send out its elite troops to form a surprise force and attack at the right time to disrupt the enemy's deployment."

"In addition, we can also use the momentum of the Yellow Turban Army to call on more local people in Wuzhou to join us and strengthen our strength."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Wen was delighted, knowing that Jiang Xiaobai had already intended to join forces, so he immediately revealed Zhu Jiuyin's strategy.

"This plan is feasible, but in order to ensure that everything goes well, we need a more thorough plan."

"My Jiang family and all the Wuzhou families are willing to contribute manpower and effort, but the premise is that after the war, my Wuzhou family must get the status and benefits they deserve."

After hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai pondered for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
