Although He Jishi tried to cover it up, Zhao Hanzhang still noticed something unusual. Especially when the two of them were alone at the end, she could smell the faint, fresh smell of blood emanating from him.
As for why it’s only now?
"He can still pretend to entertain us as if nothing has happened, which means he won't die immediately. As long as he doesn't die on the spot, the matter is not so urgent." Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand: "I just want to tell you that it is late at night, sir and Uncle Qianli go back
have a rest."
Ji Yuan began to think, "He is injured, and the people around him are paying attention to him. His control over the outside world is definitely not as good as usual. Girl, should we choose a few people and let them follow us to Shouchun?"
Zhao Hanzhang didn't expect this at first. When he heard this, he immediately turned sideways and said, "Come on, sir, let's go into the tent and talk."
Ji Yuan glanced at her and turned around to go in with her.
Zhao Ju:...So are you going to sleep tonight or not?
The intelligence systems that Ji Yuan had previously mastered were all handed over to Zhao Zhongyu. He is the clan leader. This was built with the resources of the Zhao family, so it was natural to hand it over to him.
Moreover, Zhao Hanzhang also deliberately separated herself from the Zhao family, so she had to train her own manpower.
This opportunity is rare.
"This time Ai Yang is surrounded, there must be many gaps around him. It would be most suitable to send people in." Ji Yuan said: "I have to pick a few more. Unfortunately, I am short of time and have no time to choose carefully. Qianli, do you have any good ones there?"
Candidate?"
As the former leader of the Zhao family's tribe, Zhao Ju was of course also ordered to select detailed compositions and was very familiar with this process, so he thought about it and said: "None of the tribes brought this time are suitable, so we can only choose from the bottom.
."
Ji Yuan: "But they are all just recruited, so they may not be loyal."
Zhao Ju said: "I know a few who are quite smart and have family members who have come to seek refuge with them."
Ji Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, "How is your character?"
"The time is too short, so it's hard to tell, but judging from their attitude towards their families, it seems they are very affectionate."
"Then you can use it."
Zhao Hanzhang said: "First find the people, we will talk one by one, and send them to do the detailed work. We must make them willing."
However, doing detailed work is extremely dangerous, and being alone in the enemy's army is a severe physical and mental test.
If there is no coercion, then there is only inducement.
Zhao Hanzhang said: "The people we recruited this time seem to dislike dividing the land, so we will divide the houses, money, and food, and give them a place in their families to study."
Even Mr. Ji couldn't help but be moved by this kind of treatment.
He asked: "With such huge profits, what does the lady want them to do?"
Zhao Hanzhang said: "Let them lurk first, and there is no need to do anything. Just treat them as if they are indeed the governor of He. Normally, they only need to pass on some news about the governor and Shouchun. When they need to be used for different things in the future,
Someone will notify them."
Ji Yuan: "Then this candidate must be chosen carefully. Not only must he be loyal and clever, but he must also be smart enough."
Zhao Hanzhang stepped aside and said, "I will leave this matter to Mr. Ji."
Ji Yuan came to his senses and asked, "How many days will the army be stationed in Aoyang?"
Zhao Hanzhang said: "I don't mind staying here for a few more days, I'm afraid the governor won't want to."
"I understand, I will select the person tomorrow."
So Ji Yuan took Zhao Ju back, picked out the people he thought were good people, and tried his best to find out as much about their lives as possible. The two of them almost stayed up all night.
Early the next morning, the people they had selected all night were called one by one to come and see them.
Zhao Hanzhang got up and washed his face. Before he had time to have breakfast, Qiu Wu came over and said, "Girl, someone from the city said that Governor He invited you to have breakfast with him."
He lowered his voice and said, "We still need to discuss retreating."
Zhao Hanzhang decided to save a ration for everyone, so he said: "Give my breakfast to Mr. and Uncle Qianli. Don't eat it either. Let's go to the city to eat at a big restaurant."
Qiu Wu happily agreed, and he and Ji Ping protected Zhao Hanzhang and ran into the city.
Governor He was very generous and let the kitchen prepare a sumptuous breakfast for everyone.
Zhao Hanzhang had a low table each, while Qiu Wu and Ji Ping were left outside and were taken down to eat.
Prefect Zhang and others had also arrived and were sitting on the mats directly opposite her.
Because she lived outside the city, she arrived the latest. When she sat down and saw Prefect Zhang looking at her, she raised her hand and saluted him.
Zhang Taishou returned the greeting with a smile and asked: "The envoy has prepared a room for everyone in the post station. Why didn't Han Zhang stay in the city last night?"
Zhao Hanzhang explained: "Hanzhang was leading troops for the first time and was inexperienced. He was afraid that they would cause chaos outside, so he went out to have a look."
Here it comes, here it comes again. This weird humility made Prefect Zhang feel awkward and he forced a smile.
He smiled half-heartedly and said, "You are quite attentive."
Zhao Hanzhang smiled at him.
Just then Governor He came in. He sat on the main seat and said with a smile: "Everyone is hungry, come on. Let's have breakfast first. This morning meal is very important."
Everyone agreed with a smile, and after the governor He took his chopsticks, everyone picked up their chopsticks and started eating. No one mentioned the army outside the city that was still waiting to be fed.
Zhao Hanzhang didn't mention it either.
In the eyes of everyone, she is regarded as one of Governor He's people, and she has just taken advantage of him, so it is naturally impossible for her to dismantle him. Moreover, she has brought enough food and grass.
In addition to some that had just been snatched back from the Xiongnu military camp, Zhao Hanzhang was not in a hurry, so she first picked up a bun and ate it with relish.
He Jishi ate a little, glanced at everyone, and saw that no one mentioned the rations, so he could only blow himself up. He said with an apologetic look: "I really have wronged all the soldiers. The rations given to the army yesterday and today are not very much."
, it is true that Aoyang has been besieged for a long time, and food and grass cannot be transported in, so now we are short of money."
Governor He has said this, what else can everyone do?
I can only express my understanding.
So He Cishi took the opportunity to mention the departure of the army. Anyway, you will have no food and grass to eat if you stay. Now that the Huns have retreated, when do you think you will leave?
Prefect Zhang did not speak and left the question to everyone.
Everyone looked at each other and couldn't make up their minds for a moment. This was different from what they expected, and it was also different from what Zhang Taishou promised them.
So during this trip, not only did they waste military rations, but their soldiers died, and they had to go back hungry?
But after I return, I can't explain it to the soldiers now.
Zhao Hanzhang ate quietly with his head lowered. After finishing the steamed buns and half a bowl of porridge, he began to eat the meatloaf cut into pieces on the plate.
Seeing that they were reluctant to leave, Governor He could only call Zhao Hanzhang's name, "Where's Hanzhang? Xiping is not far from Aoyang. If we set off today, we can arrive in the evening."
Zhao Hanzhang wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, took a sip of water before nodding with a smile, "Yes, so we will set off after the army has breakfast. The purpose of coming to Gaoyang this time has been achieved. Gaoyang County and the envoy are safe.
I’ll feel at ease soon.”
Governor He was overjoyed and immediately said: "You set off, I will see you off personally."
