Zhao Hanzhang said seriously: "I know the general's worries, so Hanzhang is willing to use Yuzhou to help you."
Gou Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, becoming somewhat interested, "Oh?"
Zhao Hanzhang said: "Now I am the one who calls the shots in Yuzhou."
Gou Xi did not refute this point because he received the news that He Jishi was dead.
He was seriously injured and the wound had deteriorated to the extreme. On the seventh day after Zhao Hanzhang came out, he fell into a high fever and fainted. He woke up for a while. At that time, he summoned Zhao Kuan, Zhao Ju and Xun Xiu and ordered them to keep secret.
In mourning, he just acted like he was sick and couldn't leave.
All matters in Yuzhou are subject to Zhao Hanzhang's orders.
Zhao Hanzhang used 2,000 troops to lure away most of the Xiongnu soldiers surrounding Yuzhou's defense line. The Xiongnu's offensive against Yuzhou was much weaker, and Xun Xiu and others were able to defend Yuzhou.
And Zhao Hanzhang still sent back news from time to time. They attacked from time to time according to her orders, and they won a few games. The current situation seemed to be favorable to Yuzhou, and it seemed that she had won.
However, Zhao Hanzhang and Gou Xi, who are familiar with the art of war and the current situation, both know that this is only temporary. The longer the time goes on, the current advantage will slowly disappear and then become a disadvantage. By then, Yuzhou will bear even more severe revenge from the Xiongnu.
.
Judging from the news Gou Xi received, the military and civilians of Yuzhou are now united in recognizing Zhao Hanzhang, and there is no last word from the governor. Zhao Hanzhang is indeed the legitimate successor of Yuzhou.
The imperial court...
The imperial court has long been unable to control the place, so it does not matter whether there is an order from the imperial court or not.
If Yuzhou were on his side...
Gou Xi lowered his eyes and thought.
Zhao Hanzhang continued his efforts, "The King of Donghai is a member of the Jin Dynasty, but he cannot share the country's worries and is disrespectful to His Majesty. The ministers in the DPRK have long had objections. My uncle once wrote a letter saying that the officials who went out to Yuzhou in the DPRK were full of resentment, but they were frightened.
The King of the East China Sea is so powerful that he dares to be angry but dare not speak out."
"If General Gou needs it, we can all help him." Zhao Hanzhang's nose felt sore, her eyes filled with tears, and she almost burst into tears. She stood up, walked out, knelt down, and said expectantly: "General, Hanzhang
All the clans are in Yuzhou, there are thousands of clansmen, once the Xiongnu conquers Yuzhou..."
She shed tears and kowtowed: "As long as the general is willing to save Yuzhou, I, Mrs. Zhao, will be devastated and die in retribution."
This is a very heavy commitment.
Yan Heng and others immediately looked at Gou Xi, hoping that he would agree.
Ming Yu even said: "General, the Huns have been out for a long time. If they suffer a few more defeats, they will definitely be tired of fighting, and it will get cold."
Zhao Hanzhang raised his head, ignoring the tears on his face, and nodded repeatedly, "General, if there are reinforcements sent by Fu Zhongshu then, why should we fear the Huns?"
"As for the King of Donghai, Hanzhang has always felt that there is no need to worry. He has no ability to lead an army. But now he has lost the support of the people. His Majesty sent Fu Zhongshu to Chang'an to recruit troops. Even Wang Situ did not stop him. It can be seen that many ministers in the court also have opinions.
If he doesn't take action when the time comes, it's okay. Once he does, the whole world can attack him."
Zhao Hanzhang said meaningfully: "Your Majesty obviously couldn't bear it any longer. Otherwise, why would he have issued a secret edict and now sent Fu Zhongshu to Chang'an to recruit troops?"
Gou Xi's heart moved, and she finally remembered the most important point. The young emperor sent Fu Zhi to Chang'an to recruit troops. Once he recruited troops, he would no longer be a powerless emperor.
Gou Xi's eyes narrowed and he made a decision immediately, "Okay! Yuzhou is in trouble, and we should really help."
The staff did not expect Gou Xi to agree so quickly. Although they were also inclined to do so, it was too quick.
They couldn't help but look at each other and said nothing for a while.
Sitting behind the low table with a sullen face, Fu Tinghan, who had been clenching his fists, relaxed slightly and looked at Zhao Hanzhang.
Zhao Hanzhang was greatly moved and thanked him repeatedly.
The corners of Gou Xi's lips curled up. Seeing tears on her face, she waved her hand and said, "But the dispatch of troops still needs to be discussed in detail. It's getting late today. It's better for Governor Zhao to stay here first and we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Zhao Hanzhang agreed and followed the others out to rest.
After entering the guest room, Tinghe immediately went to get her a basin of hot water to cleanse her face. Zhao Erlang looked at his sister distressedly and said, "Sister, let me wipe your tears."
After saying that, he lifted up his clothes and wanted to wipe her tears, but there was nothing he could do. He was still wearing armor and couldn't take out his sleeves.
Zhao Hanzhang slapped his hand away in disgust, and Fu Tinghan stretched out a handkerchief.
Zhao Hanzhang took it, wiped the dust and tears on her face first, and then washed her face when the water came. She asked Fu Tinghan, "How was my performance just now?"
Fu Tinghan nodded, "I'm very touched."
Zhao Erlang looked at his sister who could not see the sadness at all, with a confused look on his face.
Zhao Hanzhang wrung out the handkerchief and hung it on the shelf to dry, and said to Fu Tinghan: "When Grandpa Fu arrives, you have to tell him to watch the troops and horses in your hands, and don't let Gou Xi snatch them away."
Fu Tinghan: "Is it true or false that you said Mrs. Zhao was willing to do everything for him..."
Zhao Hanzhang said: "Of course it is true, I am not a liar, but Mr. Zhao also has character. Although he can be punished, the premise is that what he does is just."
She said: "For things like expelling foreign enemies, our Zhao family is bound to do it."
Fu Tinghan couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said, "As long as you are happy."
Of course Zhao Hanzhang was happy. If he could invite Gou Xi, it would only be a matter of time before Liu Yuan's army was driven out.
Zhao Erlang murmured, "Sister, even the envoys can say these things, why do we have to come here in person? After so many detours and so much time, it would be better to go directly to fight the Huns."
"Fool, what do you think impresses him?" Zhao Hanzhang said: "It's not that he is upright and honest and has a good reputation, nor that I, Mrs. Zhao, am willing to do anything for him, but that Yuzhou under my control is willing to stand by him;
Yes, Your Majesty has begun to have his own power, and King Donghai has lost the support of the people in the court."
It is true that most of the words can be said by the envoys, but Yuzhou can listen to Gou Xi's words. It is useless if the envoys say it, and they will not believe it.
Only she, and only if she or Governor He made the promise in front of Gou Xi, would this matter count.
Gou Xi didn't trust any governor, and He governor couldn't find the courage to hand over Yuzhou to Gou Xi, otherwise...
Zhao Hanzhang thought of the people of Yuzhou who were currently suffering from the war, and smiled slightly, "We will talk about fighting tomorrow. Ting Han will go with me. We must fight for more lives for the people of Yuzhou."
Fu Tinghan nodded, "I know how to do it."
Liu Yuan was still looking for Zhao Hanzhang, but after finding that there was no trace of her, he finally stopped thinking about being led by her, but...if they couldn't catch anyone, they would always be attacked from behind.
The soldiers were fighting in the front, but there was always a knife hanging behind their necks, so no one could fight well.
Morale was greatly affected.
In particular, Zhao Hanzhang robbed and destroyed their food and grass several times, which caused some food shortages in their army.
So after thinking about it, Liu Yuan could only grit his teeth and order, "Collect food and grass on the spot and let each army find its own solution."
This was the scene Liu Yuan didn't want to see the most, because he still wanted to manage the Han and Huns together and hoped that they could be as close as one family, so he always ordered the troops below not to plunder too much.
Of course, few people listened. Among them, Wang Mi was the most ruthless person who robbed people of their property and killed people.
