Chapter 40

Shuo Shu Shuo Shu

Author: Gongsun Wujiu

Shuo Shu Shuo Shu

In Gaoyao Township, Yunyang County, a palace servant was leading several soldiers to Zhang Yue's home, accompanied by the magistrate of Yunyang County.

The chamberlain looked at Zhang Guo with a serious expression and immediately changed to a smiling face after reading the imperial edict of the reward.

He knew in his heart that although Zhang Yue did not have a high official position now, his status in the emperor's heart was not low. Now that he had a good relationship with Zhang Yue's subordinate, there would definitely be a lot of benefits in the future.

"Congratulations, madam..."

Zhang Guo has not figured out the situation until now. She only knows that her husband has made great achievements again and was rewarded by the emperor. Her father was also pardoned.

She was so happy that she didn't know what to do for a moment. Fortunately, the neighbors came to help, and the county magistrate also took the initiative to help organize, and then she was able to entertain the envoy from Chang'an.

After everyone left, she still felt like she was in a dream. Finally, after checking with her sister several times, she finally believed that she had actually been rewarded by the emperor, and that she had been pardoned and was about to return home.

When Gaoyao Township received the imperial edict, Zhang Yue, who was far away in Jingbian, also received the imperial edict.

In addition to Zhang Yue, everyone at Jingbian also received awards of varying sizes this time.

Especially Guo Kai and Zhang Hao were so happy that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear.

This time, the two of them finally got their wish and were promoted to the first level of nobility.

Guo Kai is now a noble official, while Zhang Hao is worshiped as a Yuan Rongshi.

In addition to the two of them, Cai Ting was also conferred the title of Yuan Rongshi, and Yang You was conferred the title of the Good Scholar. There were also many other people who were conferred the title of consecration.

While everyone was happy, they also secretly made up their minds to follow Zhang Yue...

Dawn is gradually breaking, and there are still a few remaining stars hanging in the light blue sky. The sun has gradually risen but the moon has not yet completely set. It presents a wonderful scene of the sun and the moon shining together.

Outside Zhang Yue's house, Yang You was pacing back and forth. Looking at him, he seemed to have made some kind of determination in his heart.

Time passed little by little, and then Zhang Hao also came to Zhang Yue's door. The two looked at each other, stunned for a moment, and then laughed tacitly.

"Creak" sound

Zhang Yue's door finally opened.

The two of them suddenly knelt on one knee in front of Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue was stunned and was about to ask what happened.

The two of them have already spoken: "A certain Yang You/Guo Kai, to pay homage to the lord, is willing to be his lackey."

Zhang Yue listened for a long time and finally understood that Yang You and Guo Kai actually wanted to become his disciples.

After Zhang Yue thought for a while, he said: "Please get up quickly, you two. You will follow me from now on. If Zhang Yue has something to eat, I will never treat you badly!"

The two were overjoyed and bowed again: "I pay homage to my lord and am willing to die in the service of my lord."

Zhang Yue was even happier. With these two servants, many things would be much easier to do next.

In this era, there are still many traditions from the pre-Qin era, such as raising scholars is one of them.

The relationship between a scholar and his lord is one of the most solid relationships in this era. One is prosperous, the other is prosperous, and the other is damaged.

Even the power of the emperor cannot command the soldiers raised by powerful men.

Zhang Yue believes that this is just the beginning. In the future, as his status improves, more people will seek refuge with him.

This is the characteristic of this era.

A noble person must be supported by heroes from poor families.

Heroes need the promotion and recommendation of dignitaries, and dignitaries also need the help and support of heroes.

Each other needs to protect each other.

"My lord, there is something you want to do. I don't know if I should tell you or not?" Yang You predicted but stopped.

"What's the matter? It doesn't matter if you say it!" Zhang Yue said nonchalantly.

"During this period, my scouts discovered some things, which have something to do with General Yang Bai!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yue gradually became serious, and he realized that there might be a major problem.

Zhang Yue stared at Yang You closely, gesturing for him to continue speaking.

"I discovered that General Yang Bai may be smuggling with horse thieves!"

"This is serious!" Zhang Yue suddenly stood up.

"Seriously!" Yang You affirmed

Zhang Yue immediately realized the seriousness of this matter, and he believed that Yang You would definitely not tell lies about this matter.

This means that Yang Jiang must be carrying out smuggling activities, but I don't know if Han Xianchu knows about it.

It would be okay if it was just Yang Jiang, but if Han Xianchu and others were also involved, the situation would be bad. It is very likely that his Bingtun would cause a civil strife!

"Is Commander Han involved in this matter?"

"I haven't discovered Commander Han and General Li Bai yet. General Lu Bai is involved!"

Yang You's words made Zhang Yue temporarily relieved. What he was most worried about now was that Han Xianchu and others were also involved.

Zhang Yue got up and walked back and forth in the barracks several times, and told Yang You: "I'll find out first to make sure Commander Han is involved, and in addition, I'll try my best to find out the location of their transaction!"

"promise!"

"Don't worry, my lord, I will fulfill my mission!"

After Yang You left, Zhang Yue was still worried. He found Li Si and informed him about Yang Jiang's smuggling.

"Ming Gong, this matter is not easy to handle. Once something goes wrong, it may cause disaster to Xiao Qiang..."

Zhang Yuedao: "Mr. Li, in your opinion, what should we do?"

"Ming Gong, my subordinates believe that the top priority is to stabilize the army, especially the right team. Ming Gong can have more heart-to-heart conversations with the soldiers to ensure that when chaos breaks out, the soldiers will not completely follow Yang Jiang."

"In addition, there are Han Xianchu and Li Mao, both of whom are close confidants of Captain Li. As long as they have the support of these two people, even if Yangjiang rebels, there will be no foundation."

"I think that as long as these two points are taken care of, we can sit back and relax..."

Zhang Yue raised his head and looked out the window and sighed: "Wealth and silk are so touching."

Then he turned back to Li Si and said, "I have ordered your friend Yang to inquire into this matter in detail. Do you think it is appropriate, sir?"

Li Si closed his eyes slightly and thought quickly in his mind, "There should be no problem, just be careful not to alert the enemy!"

Zhang Yue responded: "That's right. In these days, I still need Mr. Lao!"

"You're welcome, Mr. Ming. This is a matter of official duties!"

Zhang Yue and Li Si later made three detailed plans for this matter, each of which targeted three different situations.

During this time, the planting of okra has just been completed, and it happens to be a slack time for farming.

On the pretext of military training, Zhang Yue gathered the two teams of soldiers and horses of Li Mao and Lu Han together with the young men of Jingbianban for training.

Originally the order was also given to Yang Jiang's troops, but Yang Jiang continued to live outside on the pretext that he wanted to continue to exterminate the bandits.

Zhang Yue naturally knew the reason why he did this. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Zhang Yue not only agreed to his request, but also sent him plenty of food and grass.

Yang Jiang got his wish and stayed abroad, and became more and more unscrupulous in his actions. Sometimes he even directly led his soldiers to meet with horse thieves.

Yang You saw all these things and recorded them one by one.
