Zhao Ming was not a gentle and sweet talker, and had always had a poisonous mouth. Together with Ji Yuan, an aide, the two of them were so eloquent that they made Prefect Zhang look pale and almost fainted from anger.
However, he did not faint in the end, so Zhao Ming continued to be angry with him and said directly: "Prefect Zhang, why did the governor leave a message before his death? General Zhao is the next governor of Yuzhou. The notes have been written and sent to Luoyang, so General Zhao
Although she is not in Chen County, she is actually the governor of Yuzhou, and she is recognized as the deputy general of Yuzhou. She is only under the governor of He, and it is her military order to send troops to counterattack. Do you want to disobey the order? "
Ji Yuan said slowly: "How to do this? The top priority is to relieve Yuzhou's difficulties. You and I don't know how my girl lured these Xiongnu soldiers away. If we miss this opportunity, it may be the last chance for Yuzhou to get out of trouble."
"
Zhao Ming sneered and said: "Prefect Zhang doesn't care. Anyway, he only has a small family here. He only needs to send people to send people away. But can the people of Yuzhou escape? For example, my Zhao family has thousands of relatives.
You can’t drag your whole family and everyone away.”
Xun Xiu and others pondered for a moment, and most of them stood on Zhao Ming's side. They bowed and responded with serious faces: "I'll order the troops right away."
In the end, Taishou Zhang was so angry that stars appeared in his eyes, and he waved his sleeves bitterly and said: "Humph, I say that your Zhao family is great, but you are also using power for personal gain."
Speaking of this, Prefect Zhang was itching with hatred.
In terms of qualifications, he was the one who could compete with Governor He for the position of governor. At that time, he competed with Governor He, but he lost. He originally thought that if Governor He died, it would be his turn.
But last year he was tricked by Governor He, and this year he refused to be fooled no matter what. Moreover, with the current situation in Yuzhou, he might die if he came to Chen County.
If the imperial court does not send troops, it is still unclear whether Yuzhou can be defended, so he deliberately did not come. If Chen County really cannot defend it, he can run faster in Ruyin County.
Who would have thought that when Zhao Hanzhang came to Chen County, he was directly promoted to the county guard and deputy general. There were even rumors outside that she would be the next governor.
He had just scoffed, thinking that this was another attempt by Governor He, but the situation in Yuzhou actually improved. He didn't know how she fought, but she managed to contain many Xiongnu soldiers and horses.
He wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight and profit from it, but he vaguely heard that the governor He had died a long time ago. Now the military orders in Chen County were all issued by Zhao Hanzhang, but he did not announce the funeral secretly to stabilize the morale of the army.
Zhang Taishou could not sit still and came with his army to "support" Chen County.
After entering the city, he found out that the governor He was really dead. Before his death, he had left a clear message asking Zhao Hanzhang to take over the position of governor. He had even written a note and reported it to the court.
However, he felt that the court would definitely refuse. After all, Zhao Hanzhang was a woman.
But what’s the point of refusing or not refusing now?
Can the imperial court still be the master of the place?
Governor Zhang felt that he had made a mistake. After returning to his temporary residence, he became anxious. Especially after hearing that all the generals were ordering troops to respond, he couldn't help but go to Xun Xiu and try to persuade him again.
Lu Xiyuan hurriedly stopped him and said, "My lord, what Ji Yuan said is right. The top priority is Yuzhou's difficulties. When Yuzhou's difficulties are resolved, we will fight for the position of governor."
Prefect Zhang was angry, "After the difficulties in Yuzhou are resolved, can I still compete with Zhao Hanzhang for the position of governor?"
"But the difficulties in Yuzhou cannot be solved. It is useless for my lord to fight for this. Without reinforcements, Yuzhou cannot stop the Huns. When the time comes, not to mention Chen County, even Ruyin County will not be able to survive alone."
Prefect Zhang remained silent, but he was still unwilling to do so.
Lu Xiyuan said sincerely: "My lord, Zhao Hanzhang is a female, the court will definitely not confer her a title, so her reputation will not be justified. Even if she wins this time and accumulates prestige, people like Xun Xiu will not be convinced."
, when Yuzhou no longer has the threat of the Xiongnu, we will continue to fight with her, there is no need to rush."
But he was ridiculed and attacked by both Zhao Ming and Ji Yuan, and he felt dissatisfied.
Lu Xiyuan seemed to know what he was thinking, and lowered his voice and said: "My lord, Runan County has sent a lot of troops this time. No matter how brave they are, it will definitely be difficult for them to face the Xiongnu one-on-one. After that, if you want to conquer Runan, you can do whatever you want."
Just find an excuse."
This hinted that Governor Zhang could send troops to capture Runan later.
Mutual attacks between localities have become the norm in the Jin Dynasty. If you occupy my territory, I will occupy his territory. The court cannot control it at all. It is not unusual for Ruyin to annex Runan. Anyway, the two counties are adjacent and very close.
It just so happened that Ji Yuan thought so too.
After sending everyone away, he sat behind his desk and meditated. Finally, he picked up a pen and roughly drew the shapes of Runan County and Runyin County on the white paper, and then drew a line on the intersecting line. He felt that their girls were all
After becoming the governor, it would be very common to change the county governor and make Ruyin County the same as Runan County.
Prefect Zhang was persuaded to come down, but he still ordered troops to respond the next day. That's all. The adults don't remember the faults of the villains. Let's drive the Huns away first.
Now in Chen County, the Zhao army has the largest number, because Wang Zhen and Xie Shi brought 20,000 people.
These two were also talented people. Zhao Hanzhang asked them to recruit troops. He thought they could recruit five or six thousand, which would be good. Who knew they could recruit 20,000 even if they had no food and grass.
They were even more shameless than Zhao Hanzhang. They took Fan Ying with them and made empty promises to recruit a group of passing refugees into the army. Then, without giving them any clothes, they took the ragged refugees directly to various large and small forts to beg for food.
Perhaps it was because of the good reputations of the Wang family and the Xie family, or perhaps it was because of the miserable refugees they brought with them, but anyway, both the big and small Wubao gave them some food.
Wang Zhen and Xie Shi recruited troops and begged for food at the same time, and they actually brought 20,000 soldiers and horses to Zhao Hanzhang.
However, Zhao Hanzhang didn't see it, and Zhao Ming was so angry that he fell over. He didn't care that Wang Zhen and Xie Shi were famous people, and asked them directly, "Don't you recruit troops based on armaments? How can I support 20,000 people?"
How can we fight without armor or weapons?"
Wang Zhen said: "The refugee army has no weapons, so why don't they fight everywhere?"
"How many refugee armies have you seen that can fight against the Huns?" Zhao Ming said: "How many refugee armies has Gou Xi destroyed in the past few years? Isn't the Huns' army still inferior to Gou Xi?"
Xie Shi didn't say anything. Wang Zhen said: "We can always fight. Twenty thousand people can kill people even if they are armed with stones and sticks."
Zhao Ming's face was ashen and he said directly: "Isn't that a life in vain?"
He didn't agree, and Ji Yuan didn't agree either. When he thanked Wang Zhen, he said, "The girl won't agree either. You can't do this vicious plan unless you have to."
