Chapter 6592 Taking advantage of every opportunity
Seeing that Zhao Jian easily tore open the city gate of Media with this thing that even their Cui family Wu Fort couldn't destroy, Cui Jun fell into a little panic, but he suppressed this unnecessary emotion in just a moment.

There is no other possibility. The only reason for Media's fall is that the Zhen family was too stupid. It is absolutely impossible that other families were behind this.

"Zhen, you really leave me speechless." Although Zhao Jian had realized the possibility before, he was still quite shocked when he saw that several God-killing Spears shot out from his large crossbows directly blew up the city gate of the secondary capital-level city.

"It's so outrageous that I don't know how to describe it." Cui Jun tilted his head and said bitterly, "Does the Zhen family really not know how to strengthen their own city defense? Normally, every time we get a new technology for free from Chang'an, we will quickly deploy it for ourselves. The Zhen family is still living in the past ten years, right?"

"Maybe, but it doesn't matter now. The city gate is open." Zhao Jian said calmly, "It's up to each of us to decide what to do next. Our Zhao family is also very interested in the Media Trading City. Even if we can't get the lion's share, I'm interested in getting a little bit out of it."

After saying that, Zhao Jian led his elite cavalry and rushed towards the Media Trading City. The sudden explosion of the city gate greatly shocked the bandit troops in the city, so much so that most of the bandit troops gave up their original idea of ​​defending Media after realizing that the city gate had been blown open.

After listening to what Zhao Jian said when he left, Cui Jun didn't say much, but commanded his heavy infantry to rush up immediately. Not to mention the Zhao family, the Cui family also had ideas about the Media trading city, but their ideas could not influence Liu Bei and Chen Xi. Only when those two nodded could the next buyer of Media be decided.

However, as a loyal follower of the emperor, Cui family had more or less realized when Media fell that after such a big incident, Zhen family should have lost the qualification to continue to occupy Media. As a result, Media Trading City would inevitably be re-established.

Although there are many families that are suitable for Mediah Trading City in name, no matter in terms of merit or seniority, after the fall of the Zhen family, the only ones who could come to Mediah Trading City to take charge could be the Mi family or the Wu family.

When the Zhen family was arranged to take over the Media Trading City, they had actually discussed privately whether to let the Mi family be in charge of the Media Trading City. Other families might not be very clear about this, but the Cui family knew about it to some extent.

It's a pity that the Zhen family has advantages over the Mi family in all aspects, whether it is manpower, size, or wealth, so that the Mi family had a runner-up position and finally the Zhen family won. Now that the Zhen family has fallen because of its own mistakes, so theoretically it should be the Mi family's turn.

However, a new problem has arisen. When the Zhen and Mi families were fighting for the Media trading city, the Wu family had just entered Liu Bei's family and had little sense of existence. They could only watch the mistress and the elders fight for this thing. Even if they had any ideas, they could not put them forward.

But now Wu Yuan also has children. The Wu family is also a big family after all. Their manpower, size, and wealth are no less than those of the Mi family. If they want to fight, the situation will be the same as before.

In fact, Mi Zhu lost because of the lack of manpower. The Mi family was not a large family and the manpower was limited. As for wealth, it had reached this level. A few billion more or less actually didn't make much difference.

Similarly, when facing the Wu family, the Mi family still has this shortcoming. As for the shortcomings in other aspects, they are really nothing.

"So the next step is to contact the Wu family, right?" Cui Lin asked with some speculation after listening to Cui Jun's explanation. He also felt that the current situation was the same as the situation before the enfeoffment of the Zhen family a few years ago. All the conditions that the Zhen family met back then, are now also met by the Wu family.

"No, let's contact the Mi family privately. We have a good relationship with the Mi family. After all, we are also loyal ministers." Cui Jun said with a smile, "Although it looks like it was a few years ago, the actual situation is completely different."

Cui Lin didn't understand, but Cui Jun didn't explain. Some things don't need to be explained too clearly. One thing needs to be understood: Wu Yuan has no chance. Unlike the last time when Zhen's opponent was Mi Zhu, who knew his own shortcomings and didn't want to get entangled with the Zhen's, this time the Wu family's opponent is everyone in the Senate.

People like Chen Zichuan will definitely not let the Mi family run for the same place twice. Even if Mi Zhu himself doesn't care, those guys in the Executive Yuan will settle this matter.

It would be fine if the Wu family did not mention this matter and let things develop as they wish. But if the Wu family dared to mention this matter and wanted to imitate the way the Zhen family did back then to gain power, then their opponent would be the entire government.

Cui Jun is very clear about the style of those people in the Executive Yuan. If their brothers are embarrassed, that is their own business, but if anyone dares to embarrass their brothers, don't blame these people for being ruthless.

When it came to the Zhen family, at least Mi Zhu himself was not very willing to touch them. On the other hand, the Zhen family's advantages in all aspects were indeed obvious. Although they could not completely overshadow the Mi family, they were almost at the same level. However, this kind of thing would never happen twice.

"Let's take Media first and talk about other things later." Cui Jun said without saying much, pointing at Zhao Jian who was leading the cavalry and rushing in.

On June 7th of the tenth year of Yuanfeng, Media was captured by refugees. Ten days later, the Zhao and Cui families joined forces to defeat the bandit army and Media and recovered it.

"These are ours." Zhao Jian pointed to a large area of ​​warehouses that had not yet been destroyed in the war-torn city of Media and said. Before the city was taken, the two sides were the closest of allies. After the city was taken, the other side became the bastard friendly forces that wanted to share supplies with them.

"This is the list of supplies we found in the inner city. The locals are illiterate and don't realize how precious this thing is. We just distribute the list." Cui Jun threw a stack of documents to Zhao Jian and said.

"This is the material list." Zhao Jian took out a stack from Zhao Ming and threw it over without even looking at it.

Cui Jun took the list of supplies and was shocked when he saw the quantity of supplies on it. The scale of the supplies on it was basically several times that described in the stack of documents he found in the inner city. Especially when he turned to the end and saw the bright seal on it, Cui Jun took a breath.

"I picked up this thing." Zhao Jian took out the seal of the governor of Media Trading City and shook it. "Your material list is fake, and mine is real, so there is no problem with how I divide it."

"But..." Cui Jun looked at this document which was definitely forged by the Zhao family, and then looked at the real material reserve list, and was somewhat hesitant.

"All the compensations must be paid before we can proceed." Zhao Jian said calmly, "I think all the major families will be satisfied with this order."

"But after all, Zhen has someone behind her." Cui Jun looked at Zhao Jian cautiously and said.

"Lord Chen has already shown enough kindness by not killing him. What else does he want? This is the seal representing the Media Trading City. The Zhen family will have no explanation if they lose even this. I only want money, not life. He should thank me." Zhao Jian sneered, shaking the seal in his hand.

At the same time, the two Cui and Zhao intelligence personnel brought Zhen's local men in Central Asia and rushed straight to Media with the Zhen family's seal. However, when they arrived, the Cui and Zhao families had already conquered Media and were dividing the spoils on the spot, and the scene was relatively harmonious.

"Master, this is the Zhen family's manager on our side. He carries the Zhen family's master's order and hopes to trade with you." When the intelligence personnel appeared in Media with Zhen family's men, Zhao Jian and Cui Jun had already united their front and barely distributed Media's supplies.

"The Zhen family." Cui Jun looked at the steward of the Zhen family with a complicated look. To be honest, he was quite envious of him in the past, but now he is lucky to be alive.

"Tell me, what are you doing here?" Zhao Jian said coldly.

Zhen Yuan felt somewhat complicated as he looked at the Media Trading City that he had already conquered, but since it had been conquered, there was still room for maneuver.

"The head of the family hopes that Cui and Zhao will change the flag of Media to Han and Zhen again. To this end, he is willing to pay materials worth 1 billion coins, and all the spoils seized in Media will belong to the two families." Zhen Yuan directly quoted the price given by Zhen Yan.

"Not enough." Zhao Jian said calmly, "The spoils were ours in the first place."

Zhen Yuan felt a lump in his teeth when he heard this, but he had no way to refute it.

"Give this to the patriarch of the Zhen family and tell him that I will only wait for five days and give him a reply within five days. Then it will depend on how much he is willing to pay." Zhao Jian coldly handed Zhen Yuan the revised material list, and then handed Zhen Yuan the statistical list of fast-growing rice seeds in the Media Trading City.

The Zhen family did grow fast-growing rice in the south, and on a large scale. It was not a big problem to support Rome's sowing, but these fast-growing rice were in the Han Dynasty and were transported from the East China Sea to Liaodong, not in Media. So even if they existed, it would be no different from non-existence for Rome.

Zhao Jian and his companions broke into the city at the fastest speed and rescued most of the fast-growing rice seeds. After all, this thing was relatively unpalatable. When there were other refined rice to eat, fast-growing rice seeds would never be ranked first. So when Zhao Jian and his companions conquered Media, there were still half of the fast-growing rice seeds left.

Then, with the addition of some of the fast-growing rice seeds owned by the Cui and Zhao families, this scale naturally reached most of the fast-growing rice seeds that Rome had reserved in Media. This was a real life-saving thing, and also Zhen's life-saving straw.

Zhen Yuan took a look at the list of supplies and gasped. He immediately said, "Impossible, it is impossible for Midia to store so many supplies. The total amount of supplies in Midia cannot be so much. Moreover, you have already seized most of them. How can there be so many compensation items!"

Zhao Jian just glanced at Zhen Yuan and said, "Go tell your family head what you said. Your family head knows better than you. Every minute you delay here will bring your entire family one step closer to death."

After saying this, Zhao Jian ignored Zhen Yuan and continued to count the supplies and prepare for transportation.

Seeing this, Zhen Yuan was helpless and could only write the letter, put away the list of supplies, tie it to the feet of the carrier eagle, and then release the carrier eagle, leaving the decision to be made by the top level of the Zhen family.

On the other hand, the troops sent by Guo, even though they were all cavalry, had only just arrived at the outskirts of Media, while the Roman legions sent by Ganasis, led by Usnafaso, had just crossed the Zagros Mountains and entered the Media region.

"The Han Dynasty has taken back Media?" Usnafaso was somewhat surprised when he received the report from his own scouts. It has only been a few days since the fall of Media?

"What? It was also taken down in one go? The situation was exactly the same as when it fell last time. It was captured quickly?" Usnafaso was shocked after hearing the report from his scouts. He now began to suspect that there was something wrong with Media's city defense, otherwise it would have been impossible to take it down in one battle. Moreover, it fell twice in less than half a month.

"Yes, they have been defeated. They are the Zhao and Cui families who are guarding the periphery of Media." The scout told Usnafaso all the intelligence he had gathered.

"Okay, let the cavalry go to Media first." Although Usnafaso was surprised, he quickly calmed down, thought about his mission, and directly sent the cavalry to Media first. At this time, he should first protect his own fast-growing rice seeds before talking about other things.

The Cui and Zhao families distributed the supplies in Media City as quickly as possible, and then sent them to their own Wu Castle in the most efficient way, just like ants moving house. After clearing up the hidden dangers inside and outside Media Trading City, they sent a secret report to Chang'an, saying that they had recaptured Media and asked whether they would be allowed to stay in Media Trading City.

Other aspects are not very important to the Cui and Zhao families who have already received enough benefits, but whether they can be stationed in the Media Trading City is very important. As long as they agree at this time and are not directly transferred away later, even if the Mi family inherits the Media Trading City, they will probably follow the old practice and let them continue to stay in the Media Trading City.

Although this behavior cannot take over the power of Media Trading City, and will be greatly suppressed when the family that actually controls Media comes, but for the Cui and Zhao families, as long as they can maintain a part of their army in this place, it will be a victory.

Moreover, they were involved in the Media trading city from this period, which meant that even the Romans would need to consult with them on certain matters later on, and this was their right.

Sometimes, things like strength and power are accumulated bit by bit by taking advantage of every opportunity. The Cui and Zhao families have no desire for Media, but they are still happy to put a little eye on it.

As for the Wei family, who also received the news at this time, it was too late. However, the Wei family did not care about this matter, as they also had money.

It's the beginning of the month, if you have tickets, hurry up and vote, there is a bonus issue coming up, I'm afraid my plan of 17 bonus issues this year will be ruined again
