Zhao Hanzhang turned over Xuan Yuxiu's confession, hummed softly, handed it to Ji Yuan and said: "Change Xuan Yuxiu's position and continue the labor camp. He must have other things on him. His food should be improved and let them see more."
Until Xuan Yuxiu’s present good day.”
Ji Yuan agreed, this is a trivial matter, and the people below will take care of it. The important thing is how they will take the next step. Ji Yuan suggested that the army return for reinforcements, "...the capital of Han State can be lost, but our Yuzhou
Don’t lose it, girl, we are different from them. Not to mention our arrangements in Yuzhou over the years, and the Zhao family, our foundation is all there. If we lose Yuzhou, we will suffer heavy losses."
Ming Yu also nodded, "Yes, if we lose Yuzhou, it will be useless even if we capture Bingzhou in the end."
Of course Zhao Hanzhang knew that if she gave up Yuzhou, it would be equivalent to changing homes and transferring places with Shi Le and Liu Cong.
If Shi Le and Liu Cong could manage the place well, it would be okay for her to lose Yuzhou temporarily. Anyway, she was confident that she could get it back one day, but they were not.
Shi Le paid it back. Although he was cruel, he was only cruel when fighting. When he consciously made himself the master of a country, he would govern the place carefully;
But Liu Cong is not.
Except for his military ability and literary qualities, this man inherited none of his father's merits, so it was impossible for Zhao Hanzhang to give up Yuzhou to them.
After many years of operation, Yuzhou will be her continuous granary and talent incubation base. She will not give up unless she has to.
Zhao Hanzhang sighed and asked, "Is there still no reply from Wang Jun?"
Ming Yu shook his head, "No, he has been holding back his troops, but Liu Kun has sent out troops. It's just that the army sent by Liu Yuan to attack Jinyang has not retreated, and he can't help us now."
Zhao Hanzhang paced in place, but still made up his mind, "Let Chen Wu come back with the army and order him to guard Pingyang. Erlang and I will lead the army back for reinforcements."
Ji Yuan and Ming Yu both breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to agree in unison.
The two were about to retreat when Zhao Hanzhang stopped them and asked, "Has General Beigong returned with any letter?"
"No, he is fighting Liu Cong and is deep behind enemy lines. His cavalry is very agile and it is difficult for our messengers to catch up with him, so the news is delayed."
Zhao Hanzhang said: "Send the letter to Zu Ti and tell Zu Ti that if he sees General Beigong, ask him to convey my wishes. Beigong Chun does not need to return to Yuzhou to aid. Their mission is to fight Liu Cong.
Cripple and scatter him!"
"It would be best if you can rescue your majesty and uncle. If you can't rescue them, you don't have to control them. Just beat them anyway." Zhao Hanzhang said with a cold light in his eyes: "Drive them to Youzhou and Qingzhou. Wang Jun wants to be alone.
?I have to drag him down!"
If you want to reap the benefits of being a fisherman, it depends on whether she, the clam, is willing.
Ji Yuan and Ming Yu looked at each other, agreed in unison, and then went to prepare.
Zhao Hanzhang began to gather the army and asked people to collect food and grass first. One day later, he asked Zhao Erlang and Xie Shi to take the army back to Ningling.
Ningling has been lost, and Zhao Erlang and the others will go back this time to regain Ningling.
When Chen Wu came back, Zhao Hanzhang handed over Pingyang City to him, and then she brought the army back to Yuzhou to aid.
"As soon as we leave, the remnants of the Liu family will counterattack Pingyang City. You must defend Pingyang City. If you really can't hold it, withdraw." Zhao Hanzhang said: "We don't have much business in Pingyang City. It's not a pity to lose it. People are the most important.
The most important thing is to keep the green hills and not have to worry about running out of firewood."
Chen Wu agreed with a look of emotion. That's what he said, but he still decided to defend it. It was not easy to conquer this city, how could it be lost so easily?
Moreover, Pingyang City was also the capital of the Xiongnu and Han Kingdoms, so it was of great significance. How could it be thrown away so easily?
Zhao Hanzhang took Liu Yi with him, as well as Xuan Yuxiu and other important Han officials.
They crowded into an ox cart and were moved along with the baggage. If the cart fell into a pit on the road, they had to get out and push the cart. When they stopped to camp and rest, they also had to do the hard work of carrying things. In just a few days,
By then, all of them had lost a lot of weight and had tasted all the suffering in the world.
When Zhao Hanzhang was inspecting the camp, he saw Liu Yi trying hard to carry a sack, but he failed to carry it after several attempts.
She stuffed the riding crop around her waist, stepped forward, grabbed the corner of the sack, and lifted it onto Liu Yi's shoulder with a force.
Liu Yi knew that he could lift it up so easily because of someone's help. His head was too heavy to lift, so he could only stare at his toes and thank him again and again, "Thank you brother, thank you brother."
Zhao Hanzhang didn't reply, clapped his hands, and when he saw him leaving, he simply picked up a sack from the car and put it on his shoulder.
The soldier guarding on the side was startled, and cautiously came forward with his hands, "Your Majesty, this, this is wheat."
A sack of wheat is not light.
Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, picked up the large sack and followed Liu Yi.
They were about to deliver the grain bags to the kitchen. Zhao Hanzhang caught up with him. When he put down the sacks at the place, she was not only able to put down her own, but also reached out to support Liu Yi's.
Liu Yi turned around with a smile, and when he saw it was her, the smile on his face fell instantly.
Zhao Hanzhang moved his shoulders, patted the dirt off, and asked him with a smile, "Why, you won't thank me if you see it?"
Liu Yi also felt that this was not good, so he thanked her solemnly, but the smile on his face was gone.
Zhao Hanzhang walked back with him, and Liu Yi couldn't help but ask: "You are the governor, why do you have to carry the bag yourself?"
"I was patrolling the camp, and I didn't want to carry it, but when I saw you carrying it, I carried a bag of it. It's not a big or difficult task, so I just wanted to help."
Liu Yi: "This is what slaves do."
"Hey, I don't agree with what you are saying. In the past, there were no slaves in the army. Soldiers were the ones who carried the bags." Zhao Hanzhang sighed and said, "This is just a job. What you are carrying is the food you want to eat. How can you distinguish between high and low?
"
Liu Yi fell silent.
Zhao Hanzhang asked him, "Are you still getting used to it during this time?"
Liu Yi nodded, his face no longer showing the innocence of the past, but a deep and sophisticated expression, "I have adapted."
"Then what can you tell?"
Liu Yi frowned, "What do you see?"
Zhao Hanzhang smiled and said: "Your position is the lowest guard position in the entire army, but the people you can come into contact with range from me, to the generals and captains in the army, and to the slaves. You didn't look at it."
What comes out?"
Liu Yi looked confused.
Zhao Hanzhang exhaled helplessly, "Okay, I thought you were too smart."
Liu Yi:......
Zhao Hanzhang stopped and said to him seriously: "In our army, from low-level soldiers to generals, there are people of all ethnic groups, and their previous identities were also different."
"There are ordinary people, refugees, prisoners, slaves, and beggars." Zhao Hanzhang looked at him and said: "These people only rely on military merit and their own abilities to gain status and power in the army. We, the Zhao family army, do not
Merit is not judged by birth, but by ability and character.”
"So Liu Yi, although you are not captured, you can still have a place in the Zhao family army, and all the subjects of your Han Kingdom will be able to in the future!"
