When the soldiers guarding the city saw how powerful Dian Wei was, they immediately surrounded them and stopped them.
"We escaped from Jiangxia and came here to find relatives."
Dian Wei directly cupped his fists and saluted them, indicating that he had fled from Jiangxia to seek refuge with his relatives.
"Are you from Jiangxia?
Where is the road guide?”
Hearing that they were coming from Jiangxia, the soldiers immediately became alert. After all, Jiangxia is the only place in Jingzhou that has no rebels. It is somewhat unbelievable that you came from Jiangxia.
"This is the guide."
Fortunately, Dian Wei was prepared in advance and directly took out the prepared road guide and handed it to the soldiers guarding the city.
"Really from Jiangxia?"
The soldier looked at the road guide and couldn't help but not believe it.
"He really came from Jiangxia. The road is as proof. I hope the military master will be accommodating."
At this time, Zhang Hong also opened the car curtain and appeared in front of several gatekeepers. After all, Dian Wei was a tall and rough guy and was not trustworthy.
Moreover, he had made preparations before coming, and the directions were genuine and could withstand anyone's inspection.
"There's no need to do this. We don't want to lose our jobs. Since we are definitely coming from Jiangxia, let's go in."
When Zhang Hong was speaking, he handed over a silver ingot in his hand. Seeing this, the soldiers were stunned, but no one dared to accept it, because according to the current laws of the Chinese Empire, anyone who accepts a bribe of more than ten taels will be punished. They
Don't dare to take risks.
"Thank you very much."
Seeing that the gatekeepers did not dare to accept bribes, Zhang Hong nodded and followed Dian Wei into Linxiang.
"Immediately report to the prefect that there are two suspicious people in the city. I can see that the road is fine, but I just feel that something is wrong with them."
After the two of them entered the city, the guard team directly sent people to report the news to Zheng Li.
"Linxiang is fine. Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, the prosperity here will not change."
Zhang Hong glanced at Dian Wei. Although it was stormy outside, there was no panic inside. This also proved from the side that Zheng Ping's ability was worthy of recognition. He could fend off thieves on the outside and calm the people on the inside. This is a good official.
"Well, Zheng is quite capable."
Dian Wei also nodded. Judging from this, Zheng Li is indeed capable.
"Okay, let's find a hotel to stay in first, and I'll bother the general to go to the prefect's mansion in person in the evening."
Zhang Hong glanced at Dian Wei, and now he could only ask Dian Wei to visit the prefect's house at night and meet Zheng Lijian.
"promise."
Dian Wei promised Zhang Hong in the carriage, and then the two of them found a restaurant and stayed there.
"Keep an eye on them."
Just after the two checked into the hotel, the middle-aged man eating next to them whispered directly in front of them.
That night, Dian Wei put on his night clothes and quietly left the hotel. As he was about to leave, he realized that someone was following him around.
"Okay, Zheng Li is really good at this."
Dian Wei ignored the man who was following him, bypassed him and went directly to the outside of the prefect's mansion.
A kite turned over, jumped up the courtyard wall lightly, then flashed a few times, avoiding the patrolling soldiers, and sneaked outside Zheng Li's house.
"Master Zheng."
Dian Wei shouted softly into the room.
"who?"
When Zheng Li heard someone calling his name outside the house, he immediately became vigilant. He silently came to the wall and pulled out the sword hanging on it.
He didn't know who was on the other side, and he didn't dare to shout for help, because if he angered the person, he might rush over and kill him.
"Dianwei."
Dian Wei did not hesitate and directly reported his name.
"General Wei Dian Wei?"
Do you have proof?"
Hearing Dian Wei's identity, Zheng Li was also stunned, this is impossible.
"There is a token as proof."
Dian Wei directly threw his general's order through the window.
Zheng Li in the room was frightened by the token. When he saw the token, he picked it up directly.
"Bang."
The door opened directly, and Zheng Li appeared in front of Dian Wei.
"Zheng Li pays homage to the general."
Zheng Ligang wanted to see the gift, but Dian Wei arrested him and took him directly into the house.
"I have important matters on this trip. Let's keep the story short. Have you received the news that Cai Mao has changed his banner?"
"Well, Cai Mao is very ambitious. Your Majesty treats him well. He is a surrendered minister who can be reused and become the commander of the Navy. However, he does not know what is good and what is wrong and surrenders to Liu Biao. He is really a person who deserves to die."
Hearing Dian Wei talk about Cai Mao's situation, Zheng Li immediately became angry.
In his view, since the world has been settled, the Han Dynasty is a thing of the past, and the Chinese Empire is about to be established, he should be loyal to China whole-heartedly, and should not be half-hearted and entangled with Liu Biaoxu.
"Don't be angry. Cai Mao is actually pretending to surrender to Liu Biao, but his heart is actually with China. But now there is a problem. Liu Biao ordered Cai Mao to lead the navy south to encircle Changsha with Pang Qing.
After talking with Mr. Zhang Hong and Zhang, the shepherd of Yangzhou, I felt that we cannot kill each other, so I rushed directly to Changsha to tell you this situation.
If Cai Mao comes to attack Changsha, you can just surrender at that time, but you must not use swords and swords without permission, do you understand?"
Dian Wei directly told the current situation and at the same time told Zheng Li the decision they had discussed.
"Zheng Li must obey the general's orders."
Although Dian Wei was a military general, and Zheng Li was the dignified governor of Changsha, with a two-thousand-stone feudal official, he still directly received orders with clasped fists.
If nothing else, standing behind Dian Wei was Yuan Shu, the first emperor of the Chinese Empire, so he had no choice but to disobey his orders.
"Well, as long as you understand, I'll leave then. Remember, you must not conflict with Cai Maoqi. Do you understand?"
"promise."
Since Zheng Li was fine here, Dian Wei had nothing to stop for, so he left the prefect's residence directly and returned to the restaurant quietly.
"Have you met Zheng Li?"
When Dian Wei entered the room, Zhang Hong was already waiting there.
"Well, I have told Zheng Li all the details of the future, and he also said that he will obey our orders. If Cai Mao leads his army to kill us, he will surrender to him."
Dian Wei directly told the situation about his meeting with Zheng Li.
"Well, let's leave Linxiang tomorrow."
After hearing that Zheng Li's problem was solved, Zhang Hong nodded. Their mission had been accomplished and they were no longer of use in Linxiang City.
"By the way, when I was hiding out just now, I discovered that there were spies outside monitoring our restaurant. I suspected that they were Zheng Li's people."
Although he said he decided to leave, Dian Wei still told the situation outside.
"Well, don't worry about him for now. I just don't know whether Linxiang was arranged by Zheng Li or someone else. But no matter what, if you can make Linxiang into an iron bucket, Zheng Li will reward him."
Zhang Hong's eyes flashed with light when he heard Dian Wei's words. There must be experts in Linxiang City, otherwise he could do everything so well.
"I guess this person is not Zheng Li. Through the conversation, I feel that this person does not seem to be such a perfect person."
Hearing Zhang Hong say that there was another master in Linxiang, Dian Wei carefully recalled the meeting with Zheng Li and shook his head slightly.
"oh?
It's strange. If you say so, there really is an expert in the city. If I don't leave tomorrow, I want to see who this expert is."
In line with the idea that you should not miss it if you are passing by, Zhang Hong also became interested and decided to meet this expert before talking about it.
"But we are in the dark and he is in the light. How can we meet this master?
We don’t know who the master is, and besides, we don’t have time.”
Dian Wei was also stunned when he heard that Zhang Hong actually wanted to spend a whole day in Panhang for this person whom he didn't even know existed.
"Don't worry, it's just a day trip, it'll be fine."
Zhang Hong already had an idea in his mind. Since he had guessed this expert, he naturally knew where to find him.
"promise."
At dawn the next day, Zhang Hong took Dian Wei to visit Linxiang City. While walking, he chatted with people. After walking around for a long time, Zhang Hong took Dian Wei directly to a restaurant.
middle.
"Gentlemen, the guests are full, why don't you move to another place?"
As soon as the two of them were about to go in, they saw the waiter coming out and telling them that it was full.
