At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

Although the Wuji Zhen family is famous for being rich in business in Hebei, it is still fundamentally different from the Xuzhou Mi family.

The Donghai Mi Clan headed by Mi Zhu is a pure businessman, at the bottom of the ranks of scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce.

The Mi family has a net worth of over 100 million, but because of its low status, it is not recognized by the aristocratic family.

This is why Mi Zhu had to fully support Liu Bei.

Without Liu Bei, the Mi family where Mi Zhu belongs will always be a lowly businessman.

But the Zhen family is different. If they go back to their ancestors, they are a veritable family of inheritance.

Regarding Zhen Mi, there is also a hidden story among the Yuan brothers.

It all starts with the origin of the Zhen family.

The Wuji Zhen family originated from Zhen Han in the period of Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty.

It is precisely because of Zhen Han that the Zhen family can prosper for a while.

Zhen Han's father-in-law is Kong Guang, the 14th grandson of Confucius, the son of Taishi Kong Ba.

Kong Guangguan to the general, the prime minister, the Taifu, and the Taishi were assistant ministers of the four dynasties.

And was revered by the Empress Dowager Wang Zhengjun, Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty.

Later, as a well-known Confucian in the world, he was appointed as the teacher of Emperor Liu Jin of Han Ping.

Because of this, the children of Zhen Han and his clan entered the court as officials, and had the opportunity to be relied on by the powerful minister Wang Mang because of their talents.

Official Zhen Han went to Da Sima, and Zhen Feng, a fellow of Zhen Han's clan, worshiped Da Sikong.

Since then, the Wuji Zhen family has become the top family in Zhongshan.

Zhen Han originally thought that the Zhen family was beginning to reach the peak of the Han Dynasty, but he did not expect that this was already the peak of the Zhen family.

The Wuji Zhen family prospered in Zhen Han, and also declined in Zhen Han.

All because of one person, Wang Mang.

Both Zhen Han and Zhen Feng were favored by Wang Mang. After Wang Mang's defeat, the Zhen family began to decline.

After Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu established the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Zhen family suffered another heavy blow.

In order to make ends meet, the Zhen family had to choose to do business.

It can only be said that putting the family's focus on business is an extremely wise decision.

No matter how bumpy the Zhen family's official career was, how smooth they were in business.

In just over a hundred years, the Zhen family has become the richest family in Hebei from an aristocratic family abandoned by the Han Dynasty.

But even so, wealth has only changed the Zhen family's quality of life.

Wanting to rely on wealth to regain the status of the Zhen family in the aristocratic family during Zhen Han's peak period is nothing short of whimsical!

In particular, the two scourges of party imprisonment launched by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty caused frequent injuries to this family that was once attached to Wang Mang.

Therefore, Zhen Mi's father, Zhen Yi, only paid homage to Cai Ling.

The Zhen family also officially fell from the family of the two fathers who worshiped Da Sikong and Da Sima at the same time, to a small family of county magistrates.

In Wuji territory, the Zhen family still has some right to speak.

But if you look at the whole Jizhou, the Zhen family has no influence at all.

Not to mention looking at the whole of Hebei or the whole world.

Originally, the Zhen family thought it was miserable enough, but in fact, God's targeting of the Zhen family was far from over.

Shang Cailing, Zhen Yi, the patriarch of the Zhen family, died suddenly in 186 A.D. in the third year of Zhongping, at the age of only thirty.

Zhen Yi's death immediately cast a shadow over the entire Zhen family.

This indicates that the Zhen family completely lost their only official position in the Han Dynasty.

In this troubled world, wealth is meaningless.

Not to mention a shepherd of a state, even a sheriff or even a county magistrate can make things difficult for the Zhen family.

The Zhen family's wealth is astonishing, which immediately aroused the covetousness of the major families in Hebei.

The bad news is far more than that.

Zhen Yi has three sons and five daughters.

But the eldest son died earlier than Zhen Yi.

The burden of the entire family rested on the shoulders of the second son, Zhen Yan.

Zhen Yan at this time was only sixteen years old.

Taking the position of Patriarch at the age of sixteen, he was naturally criticized by the clansmen.

The struggle for power and profit also began within the Zhen family.

There is the worry of fighting inside, and the coveting of other big clans outside.

This completely put the Zhen family, who had no backing, on the brink of destruction.

In this desperate situation, Zhen Yi's eldest daughter, Zhen Jiang, stepped forward and quelled the civil strife with severe measures.

At the same time, Zhen Yan spent a lot of money and finally climbed up to the top general He Jin.

With the cooperation of Zhen Yan and Zhen Jiang, the Zhen family finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as the Zhen family was about to turn around, fate made things difficult for it again.

Hanling Emperor Liu Hong died, and He Jin, who was supposed to take over everything, was handed over by Zhang.

The power of the entire Han Dynasty was played and applauded by Liu Zhang and Dong Zhuo.

The Zhen family lost its big backer, He Jin, and fell into crisis again.

At this moment, a person suddenly came to Hebei.

It was Yuan Shao, the son of Yuan's parents who fled from Luoyang.

Under Yuan's strong coercion, Dong Zhuo had to forgive Yuan Shao and worship him as the prefect of Bohai.

Zhen Yan and Zhen Jiang immediately decided to use all the strength of the Zhen family to support Yuan Shao.

It is precisely because of the support of the Zhen family's huge amount of money that Yuan Shao is like a fish in water in Hebei, making Jizhou Mu Han Fu breathless.

Facts have proved that the Zhen family's decision was correct, and Yuan Shao gradually rose to the top relying on his status as the fourth generation and third prince.

Everything seems to be fine again, and the Zhen family is welcoming the rebirth of Nirvana.

Just then, another accident happened.

In the first year of Jian'an, 196 AD, Zhen Yan, who had just been enlisted as a general, died of illness suddenly.

Zhen Yan is also a short-lived ghost!

All the efforts of the Zhen family were rewarded to Zhen Yan.

When Zhen Yan died, everything seemed to be in vain!

Fortunately, Yuan Shao was not a ruthless person. As a general, he went to Wuji to pay tribute to Zhen Yan in person to thank Zhen for his help these years.

In fact, Yuan Shao doesn't care about Zhen Yan's life and death at all, he hopes to buy people's hearts through Zhen Yan's death.

Coming here to express condolences in person is more of a friendly signal to the Zhen family, so that the Zhen family can continue to support me without reservation.

What a smart woman Zhen Jiang is!

She saw Yuan Shao's true intentions at a glance, and immediately promised that the Zhen family would increase their support for Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao was naturally overjoyed after hearing this, and said that he would not treat Mrs. Zhen badly.

Zhen Jiang suddenly made a request at this time, hoping to marry Yuan Shao and be a good friend forever.

At that time, Yuan Shao was full of vigor and high spirits, his advisers were like a cloud, his generals were like rain, and his aura threatened the world.

If there is no accident, Yuan Shao, who is strong and strong, is most likely to end the chaos in the world and reunify the world.

If Yuan Shao reaches that step in the end, the Zhen family will be the servant of the dragon.

However, the Zhen family has changed from a family of princes to a family of merchants after all, no matter how big the funding is, it is difficult to get a transcendent improvement.

But marrying Yuan Shao is different. The Zhen family and the Yuan family become in-laws, which is an essential leap.

Here I can only lament that Zhen Jiang is indeed a hero among women, because with the status of the Zhen family, she is not qualified to marry Yuan Shao.

But Zhen Jiang seized an opportunity!
