Chapter 169: Going to Changshan Prefect's Mansion
Zhao Hui knew that it was not easy to borrow food, so he didn't ask for much, just asked for 2,000 people for ten days of food.
But he didn't expect that he was rejected by the prefect of Changshan County.
The city gate was closed, and I didn't know how many defenders there were in the city. Although Zhao Hui was angry, he could not have taken these two thousand cavalry to attack the city.
"Since there is no food in the city, I'll go to other cities to ask."
After saying that, Zhao Hui took the people away.
"Master, we just left like this?" Zhang Wang said.
Zhao Hui said: "Of course not."
Changshan County does not provide food and grass, and Zhao Hui goes to other county towns, and the prefects of other counties may not necessarily give it to him.
Zhao Hui really went to other places, and he had to go for a waste of time. At that time, there was really no food or food in the army.
Now it can last for a few days.
"You are here in the mountains for two days now. Zilong and I will go to the city to see what can we do." Zhao Hui said after running for more than twenty miles.
"Master, I'll go with you." Dian Wei said.
Zhao Hui said: "It's okay, it's enough to have Zilong with me."
Zhao Hui took off his armor, wore casual clothes with Zhao Yun, and rode a horse back along the way.
Dian Wei and the others stayed in the mountains, just in time to go and catch some prey.
When Zhao Hui and Zhao Yun came to the city, the city gate had been reopened.
The two led their horses into the city. Zhao Hui, who had already taken off his armor, did not make the soldiers at the city gate suspicious.
After entering the city, Zhao Hui and Zhao Yun walked around the street.
Although it is not as prosperous as Shanggu County, it is impossible to see that it is a county town with shortage of food.
"Lord, how do we get the food and grass?" Zhao Yun asked.
Zhao Hui said: "Let's rest in the city for a night first and find out the news."
After finding an inn to stay in, Zhao Hui asked, "Shopkeeper, what are the most powerful people in this city? My brothers wander around the world and like to make friends with others."
The inn shopkeeper collected Zhao Hui's money and said, "There are not many in the city, they are all raspy. But I heard that Zhao Yun from Zhaojia Village was taken away by a master when he was young. When he returned recently, he took the villagers of Zhaojia Village into the mountains to hunt, which seemed to be a little skill."
Zhao Yun, who was standing aside, was quite embarrassed by what the shopkeeper said.
Although he had only returned for a month, Zhao Yun often brought the villagers to the city to sell hunted prey. There were many fierce beasts in the prey, so his fame gradually spread throughout the city.
Then Zhao Hui asked some questions: Have the soldiers in the city been conquering Dong Zhuo? Have the prefect recruited soldiers recently?
Although the inn shopkeeper found it a little strange, he answered Zhao Hui's questions for the sake of money.
In addition to asking the inn owner, Zhao Hui also went outside to ask a few more people.
There are not many troops in the city, only about five thousand.
Some time ago, a hundred trucks of grain were recruited by Han Fu, the master of Jizhou, but the granary in the city was not emptied.
After sleeping in the inn for one night, early the next morning, Zhao Hui took Zhao Yun straight to the prefect's mansion.
"Who are you? Why don't you leave quickly?" The guards guarding outside the prefect's mansion immediately scolded loudly when they saw the two of them approaching.
"I am Zhao Hui, the prefect of Shanggu County, Youzhou. Why are you standing there? Why don't you report it quickly?" Zhao Hui's voice was even louder than him.
"Forget it, I'll go in by myself."
As he said that, he did not respond to the guards, Zhao Hui raised his foot and stepped into the gate.
The guard who came to his senses did not know whether he would stop Zhao Hui or let Zhao Hui in directly.
After this hesitation, Zhao Hui took Zhao Yun and walked away directly.
These guards usually saw ordinary people and scolded them, saying that no one would leave quickly.
This is the first time I met it, and the sound of shouting outside the prefect's mansion was louder than them.
The key is Zhao Huibao’s identity, the prefect of Shanggu County, and it doesn’t matter where Shanggu County is. What’s important is the last two words - the prefect.
They were just a small guard, so how could they dare to offend these high-ranking officials?
Although the plans of each prefect's palace are different, the differences will not be too big.
"Where are you?" Zhao Hui saw someone after entering and stopped him and asked.
The person who was stopped was the subordinate of the prefect's office, and he also happened to see the prefect of Changshan.
When he was stopped by Zhao Hui, he was very confused, but he was different from ordinary guards after all, so he quickly reacted and said, "Who are you and how did you come in?"
"I am Zhao Hui, the prefect of Shanggu County. Take me to see your prefect." Zhao Hui said.
The subordinate of the disciple said, "Didn't you leave yesterday?"
As a subordinate of the prefect's mansion, he naturally knew very well what happened outside the city yesterday.
The prefect of Shanggu County came to borrow food, but was rejected by their prefect, and then left in shame with the people.
It has become the topic of talk in the prefect's mansion.
"I'm back again, take me to see your prefect." Zhao Hui snorted coldly. As a prefect of a county, if he is polite to these people, it will make people doubt it.
The prefect must show the prefect's aura.
The subordinates felt something was going to happen, but looking at Zhao Hui, who was murderous, had to bite the bullet and lead the way in front.
But he walked very slowly, and Zhao Hui didn't urge him. It was probably that the guards at the door had already spread the news.
Sure enough, when you walked through the two courtyards, you saw the prefect of Changshan with a group of people standing in front.
"Do you say you are the prefect of Shanggu County? Do you have any certificate?" The prefect of Changshan said: "You must know that if you pretend to be an official in the court, you should be punished."
Zhao Hui, the prefect, got it from Xu Kuan. Even though Liu Yu had already expressed his support as the prefect of Shanggu, the court did not send a token to Zhao Hui so quickly.
So Zhao Hui has no one in his hands that can prove that he is the prefect of Shanggu.
"Who dares to pretend to be an official in the court?" Zhao Hui said.
Zhao Hui was naturally confident when he rushed into the prefect's mansion. He was not afraid that the prefect Changshan would turn against him, and there were only a few hundred guards in the prefect's mansion.
He and Zhao Yun joined forces to come and go freely in Changshan County.
"Hmph, there is no certificate, who knows whether you are true or not?" Changshan Prefect sneered.
"I'm fake. Are the thousands of soldiers outside the city all fake?" Zhao Hui said.
The prefect of Changshan had already met the two thousand men led by Zhao Hui yesterday, all of whom were cavalry.
Although Changshan County is rich, it is difficult to form such a cavalry.
Anyone who said that this team was a bandit, he would not believe it first.
But of course he would not admit it at this time.
Zhao Hui also said: "I prefect learned that Dong's thief was in trouble with the government, the emperor was shamed, and the people suffered.
I feel sorry for my sincerity. I personally led the army day and night, traveling thousands of miles to come to help, but there was no one to supply food and supplies for only two thousand people.
I wonder what will happen when the leader of the Yuan Dynasty and the Hanzhou Mu learned about it? Are you the prefect of Changshan, who is the same as Dong Zhe?"
