Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

"General, it’s not that we are unwilling to share your worries, it’s just that we are also at a loss!"

"Who is Yang Zhenshan? In the past, he broke through seven Hu Clan territories in eight days, and in one battle against the Kolcha, he slaughtered tens of thousands of the Hu Clan. What’s more terrifying is that he killed Meng Temu all by himself!"

"How could we be his match?"

Zhang Yuanwu said with a helpless face.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zeqing’s slightly sunken eyes suddenly became sharp, and with a whoosh, he stood up, looking ferociously at Zhang Chengzhi, "Zhang Yuanwu, do you think I don’t dare to kill you?"

"General’s bravery is unquestionable, you would dare to kill me, but I’m simply no match for Yang Zhenshan!" Zhang Yuanwu said, lowering his head, speaking neither hurriedly nor slowly.

Zhang Yuanwu was originally the garrison of Qihe City. After the battle in the Northern lands, he was promoted to Deputy Magistrate of the Songzhou Guard’s Rescue Camp, taking office as a sitting officer. He was not one of Liu Zeqing’s men; he represented the local faction of the Songzhou Guard, namely the Military Officers under Wang Bin previously.

After Liu Zeqing took office as the Assistant General of the eastern front, he had been trying to woo the officials of the local faction, while also vigorously installing his own people.

However, it was not so easy to woo or deal with the likes of Zhang Yuanwu from the local faction.

That’s because Zhang Yuanwu and others all had military achievements, and they had risen through the ranks based on these achievements, so Liu Zeqing needed a legitimate reason if he wanted to remove them.
