Zhou Yuanfu looked at the woman and asked quietly.
Gan Ning nodded desperately.
"Hello, girl, I am Zhou Yuanfu, the captain of Ba County." Zhou Yuanfu didn't stay at home and actually stretched out his hand to shake hands. He suddenly woke up and said, "Brother Gan Ning is now a military lord by my side, and he has military orders. I'm afraid he can't do it for the time being."
Come home with you."
"Marquis?"
The woman opened her red lips lightly and said, revealing two rows of teeth like jade shells, but her eyes looked at Gan Ning.
"Yes, I have been recruited into the army by Brother Zhou. I am wearing armor at the end of my life. Please forgive me for not being able to maintain both loyalty and filial piety."
After Gan Ning finished speaking, he pretended to clasp his fists.
Zhou Yuanfu almost burst out laughing at these ungracious words, but the woman couldn't help laughing.
"Don't join forces to deceive me, or you will be the last one."
Yan Yan snorted over there, and the woman immediately stopped smiling. After all, there were hundreds of fully armed soldiers beside her.
"General Zhou, I wonder when my brother-in-law can return home?"
"Is this it?" Zhou Yuanfu said and looked at Gan Ning, Gan Ning winked at him quickly, "Is this it? I have just come to take office, and I still rely heavily on brother Gan. I hope you will take care of me."
"Okay, Gan Ning, I'll wait for you at home. If you don't want me to come back wearing a military prince's armor, be careful with your skin."
After the woman finished speaking, she took the maids and left.
"It's hard to give up on natural beauty. Your sister is indeed beautiful."
Zhou Yuanfu said quietly to Gan Ning, but unexpectedly the woman heard him. She turned around and looked at Zhou Yuanfu deeply before slowly walking away.
"How are you, brother-in-law, I didn't lie to you, when are you coming to propose marriage?"
Gan Ning said with joy.
Yan Yan listened in confusion beside him, "Ahem, General Zhou, let's go, the governor will be waiting impatiently."
Zhou Yuanfu just came back to his senses and said, "Okay, we'll leave right away. By the way, General Yan, please find Gan Ning a suit of armor to wear as a military prince."
Yan Yan agreed.
Zhou Yuanfu was thinking as he walked, why did this woman look so familiar? Had he seen her somewhere before?
Cai Zhenji is a talented woman, Diao Chan is a bit charming, Miss Du is beautiful and dignified on the surface but has a fierce temper, Lu Quan is a bit cold, and they are not very similar to this girl Gan. This girl Gan looks elegant and generous, and does not feel any difference because of her identity.
That kind of attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, and that kind of look in his eyes shows that all living beings are equal. It's really strange.
"What's your sister's name?"
Zhou Yuanfu saw Gan Ning change his clothes and catch up. As expected, the man relied on his clothes and the horse relied on his saddle. Gan Ning already looked like a strong soldier.
"Ganmei."
Gan Ning took a breath and said.
"Ganmei? Could it be her?"
Zhou Yuanfu stopped suddenly and said.
"I said brother, this is Sister-in-law Gan, oh, you don't like me calling you sister-in-law, you should say Mrs. Gan. She is indeed pretty, but you won't be so impatient. Anyway, your brother-in-law is here. Are you afraid that Mrs. Gan will run away?
?Let’s get down to business.”
Cui Niubi pretended to be a loyal minister and went to the road to admonish him.
Zhou Yuanfu's nose was almost crooked with anger. This Cui Niubi had never been reliable. He and Gan Ning had been teasing him along the way, but now he was using these words to flatter himself.
"Brother Cui is right, let's hurry up and get on our way."
Cui Niubi and Gan Ning looked at each other and smiled.
Zhou Yuanfu's heart was racing at this time, and he thought of a person from the name Gan Mei. His first girlfriend before time travel was called by this name. No wonder she looked familiar. Gan Mei is paler now than she was then.
She is a little taller, but her facial contours are still very similar, but she is wearing ancient clothes, so I didn't recognize her for a moment. Is this just a coincidence? God sent this girl here because I felt sorry for being too lonely during my time travel?
…
In the prefect's mansion, two old men were drinking tea.
"Master Taishou, since Zhou Cang has come to take office, it's time for me to return to Hanzhong. There have been many disturbances these days."
An elderly general raised his hand to Cao Qian, the governor of Bajun, and said.
"If Yuan Xiu hadn't led troops to help, Jiangzhou would have fallen into the hands of rice thieves. Yuan Xiu has repeatedly made great achievements in suppressing thieves, and I have recommended him to the court again. It is estimated that Yuan Xiu will be able to become an official in the court after he returns this time.
"
Cao Qian respected this general very much.
The general's surname was Zhang Mingze, whose courtesy name was Yuanxiu. He served as the governor of various counties, and he was able to suppress bandits and rebels to ensure peace. Later, due to the Banzhen barbarian rebellion, the imperial court named him a Jiangji Xiaowei, specializing in guarding Hanzhong. Who would have thought of Zhang Xiu?
He actually led the Five Pecks of Rice Cult to rebel. Seeing that Bajun had fallen and Jiangzhou was in danger, Zhang Ze had no choice but to lead his troops to help. Therefore, Zhang Lu almost stole the retreat. If Hanzhong was lost, Zhang Ze would be guilty.
"It's really a new generation replacing the old ones. This Ju Yi has become the captain of Ba County, so I, the commander of the Jiangji School, have no use. Although Zhou Cang helped me solve the crisis in Hanzhong, his origin is indeed...
Lord Taishou, please be careful. I didn’t expect that a person from the Yellow Turban bandits could become the captain of Ba County. I wonder if he can keep this place safe.”
Zhang Ze was deeply suspicious of Zhou Cang.
"Don't worry Yuan Xiu, most of these rice thieves have already withdrawn. I heard that they are also afraid of his reputation. And although he is a young thief, he is still a loyal and good man, and he should not do anything beyond the rules. Let him do it then.
When he led the troops to retreat from the enemy, I knew that he was sincere. Although I have never met him, I heard that he had great courage and that he was very clean and efficient in retreating from the enemy in Hanzhong. I think it is because of his family background."
Cao Qian was very optimistic about Zhou Cang.
"I hope so."
Zhang Ze still reserves his opinion.
"Sir, Zhou Cang would like to see you."
"Please come quickly!"
"The general arrived late because he went to appease the people. I hope the governor will forgive me!"
Zhou Cang said politely. After speaking, he raised his head and saw that Cao Qian was a sixty-year-old man. Although he was slightly sick, he was energetic and upright, and he couldn't help but feel a little fond of him.
"Oh, General Zhou went to pacify the barbarians? I have been pacifying those barbarians for many years, but I still can't guarantee their rebellion. Will General Zhou's visit be fruitful?"
Cao Qian couldn't help but appreciate Zhou Cang's appearance and strength when he saw him. He was very curious when he heard that he went to appease the people.
"To be honest with you, Sir, when we retreated from the enemy in Hanzhong, the Jin people were in awe of me. This time, thanks to the grace of the imperial court, I was appointed as the captain of Ba County. Therefore, I was treated politely by the Jin people when I went to the tribe."
Zhou Yuanfu said half-truthfully.
"Does General Zhou say that he has appeased the people just because they treated you politely? I have been in Hanzhong for a long time, and I know a little bit about the nature of the people. Barbarians are always difficult to tame. As the saying goes, other people who are not my kind
The heart must be different!"
Zhang Ze spoke.
Zhou Yuanfu secretly observed that this man was wearing a suit of armor. Although he was a bit old, his brows were full of heroism, probably because he had been fighting on the battlefield for a long time. In Ba County, in terms of military attache positions, he should be the highest.
People are not polite when speaking to themselves.
"I don't know who you are, your Majesty?"
Zhou Yuanfu spoke politely, but his tone was a bit cold.
"I forgot to introduce you to General Zhou. This is General Zhang Ze, the commander-in-chief of the Jiangji School. If General Zhang hadn't come to our aid this time, Jiangzhou City would probably have been occupied by thieves."
Cao Qian quickly smoothed things over and said.
"Oh, it turns out to be General Zhang Ze, whom I have admired for a long time."
Zhou Yuanfu dealt with it a bit perfunctorily. Zhang Ze had never heard of him, so he was probably a nobody. The school captain should be younger than himself, the captain.
"Brother, this person is a well-known captain. His position is higher than yours. Even in the Yulin Army, this person is on par with his captain."
Zhang Liao was familiar with the military system. Seeing that Zhou Yuanfu was not paying attention, he whispered in his ear.
Zhou Yuanfu nodded when he heard this, and also put away his contempt. After a long time, his official position was higher than his own. The official system of the Eastern Han Dynasty was really a headache for him.
"It doesn't matter if you admire him for a long time or not for a long time. Since General Zhou has gone to comfort him, will this barbarian listen to you?"
Zhang Ze saw that his attitude was a little arrogant, and he couldn't help but feel angry, and he became rude in his words.
"General Zhang, please forgive me for the offence, but your attitude towards the barbarians is not quite right! The first is barbarians, the second is domestication, and the third is obedience. These three sentences are not ways to deal with barbarians."
Zhou Yuanfu saw that what he said was rude, so he was too lazy to make excuses.
"Oh, how should the barbarians respond?"
Zhang Ze said impatiently.
"Declaring force will make them fear you, expressing sincerity will make them trust you, and treating them equally will make them completely return to your heart!"
