Wei and Jin Cooks - Chapter 822
Zhao Hanzhang flipped through Xuan Yuxiu’s confession, snorted softly, handed it to Ji Yuan, and said, “Change Xuan Yuxiu’s position and continue the labor reform. He must have other things on him. His food should be improved. Let them see it more.” To Xuan Yuxiu’s good life now.”
Ji Yuan responded that this is a trivial matter, and the subordinates will take care of it. What matters is how they will go next. Ji Yuan suggested that the army return to aid, “…the capital of the Han Kingdom can be lost, but our Yuzhou cannot. Diu, girl, we are different from them, not to mention our layout in Yuzhou these years, and the Zhao clan, our foundation is all there, losing Yuzhou, we have suffered a heavy loss.”
Ming Yu also nodded, “Yes, if we lose Yuzhou, it will be useless even if we take down Bingzhou in the end.”
Of course Zhao Hanzhang knew that if she gave up Yuzhou, it would be equivalent to changing her home with Shi Le and Liu Cong.
If Shi Le and Liu Cong can manage the place well, it’s okay for her to lose Yuzhou temporarily. Anyway, she is confident that she will regain it one day, but they are not.
Shi Le is fine. Although he is cruel, he is only cruel when fighting. When he consciously makes himself the lord of a country, he will govern the place with his heart;
But Liu Cong is not.
Except for military ability and literary accomplishment, this man has not inherited his father’s advantages at all, so it is impossible for Zhao Hanzhang to give up Yuzhou to them.
With her many years of operation, Yuzhou will be her continuous granary and talent incubation base. She will not give up unless it is absolutely necessary.
Zhao Hanzhang sighed and asked, “Is there still no reply from Wang Jun?”
Ming Yu shook his head, “No, he has been standing still, but Liu Kun has sent troops, but the army sent by Liu Yuan to attack Jinyang has not retreated, and he can’t help us now.”
Zhao Hanzhang paced on the spot, but still made up his mind, “Let Chen Wu bring the army back, and order him to guard Pingyang, and Erlang and I will bring the army back to help.”
Ji Yuan and Ming Yu both heaved a sigh of relief, stood up and responded in unison.
The two were about to retreat when Zhao Hanzhang stopped them and asked, “Has the letter from General Beigong returned?”
“No, he is fighting Liu Cong, and he is deep in the enemy’s rear. His cavalry is very flexible, and it is difficult for our messenger soldiers 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 Bei Gong and asks him to convey my meaning, Bei Gong Chun does not need to return to Yuzhou. The mission of the two of them is to fight Liu Cong. Beat him up and break him up!”
“It would be best if you can rescue your majesty and uncle. If you can’t, you don’t have to restrain them. Anyway, just call me.” Zhao Hanzhang said with a cold look in his eyes: “drive them to Youzhou and Qingzhou, Wang Jun wants to be alone ? I have to drag him into the water!”
If she wants to reap the benefits of being a fisherman, it depends on whether she is willing or not.
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, and then asked Zhao Erlang and Xie Shi to bring the army back to Ningling after a day.
Ningling has fallen, and Zhao Erlang and the others will take back Ningling when they go back this time.
When Chen Wu came back, Zhao Hanzhang handed over Pingyang City to him, and then she brought the army back to Yuzhou.
“As soon as we leave, the remnants of the Liu family will attack Pingyang City. You must defend Pingyang City well. If you really can’t hold it, you will withdraw.” Zhao Hanzhang said: “We have nothing to do in Pingyang City, and it is not a pity to lose it. It is important to keep the green hills alive without worrying about no firewood.”
Chen Wu responded with a face of emotion. He said so, but he still decided to stick to it. This city is not easy to win, how can it be lost so easily?
Besides, Pingyang City is also the capital of the Xiongnu Han Dynasty, which is of great significance. How can it be easily lost?
Zhao Hanzhang took Liu Yi along with the army, as did Xuan Yuxiu and other important Han officials.
They squeezed into an ox cart and moved with the luggage. If the cart fell into a pit on the road, they had to go down to push the cart. It turned out that all of them had lost a lot of weight and had tasted all the suffering in the world.
When Zhao Hanzhang was touring the camp, he saw Liu Yi trying to carry a sack, but failed to carry it after several efforts.
She stuffed the whip around her waist, stepped forward and grabbed the corner of the sack, and lifted it onto Liu Yi’s shoulder with all her strength.
Liu Yi knew that someone had borrowed his strength to lift it up so easily. His head was too heavy to lift, so he could only stare at his toes and thank him repeatedly, “Thank you brother, thank you brother.”
Zhao Hanzhang didn’t answer, but clapped his hands. Seeing him leaving, he simply picked up a sack from the car and carried it on his shoulder.
The guarding soldier was taken aback, and stepped forward cautiously with both hands, “Master, this, this is wheat.”
A sack of wheat is not light.
Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand to show that it was all right, he carried the big sack and followed behind Liu Yi.
They were going to send the grain bags to the kitchen. Zhao Hanzhang caught up with him, and when they went to put down the sacks, she not only put down her own, but also reached out to help Liu Yi’s.
Liu Yi turned around with a smile, and when she saw it was her, the smile on her face fell instantly.
Zhao Hanzhang moved his shoulders, patted off the dirt on it, and asked him with a smile, “Why, I won’t thank you if I see it?”
Liu Yi also felt that this was not good, so she thanked her solemnly, but the smile on her face disappeared.
Zhao Hanzhang walked back with him, Liu Yi couldn’t help asking: “You are a governor, why do you want to carry the bag yourself?”
“I was patrolling the camp. I didn’t want to carry it at first, but when I saw you carrying it, I just carried a bag. It’s not a big deal, it’s just a matter of helping out.”
Liu Yi: “This is what slaves do.”
“Hey, I don’t agree with what you said. In the past, there were no slaves in the army, and soldiers carried bags.” Zhao Hanzhang sighed and said, “This is just a job. What you carry is the food you want to eat. How can there be distinctions 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 had the innocence of the past, but a deep and sophisticated expression, “I’ve gotten used to it.”
“Then what can you see?”
Liu Yi frowned, “What do you see?”
Zhao Hanzhang just smiled and said: “Your position is the lowest guard position in the entire army, but the people you can contact, from me to the generals and lieutenants in the army, down to the slaves, you don’t see them. What comes out?”
Liu Yi looked confused.
Zhao Hanzhang exhaled helplessly, “Well, I thought you were too smart.”
Liu Yi: …
Zhao Hanzhang stopped and said to him seriously: “In our army, there are people from all ethnic groups, from low-level soldiers to generals, and their identities in the past are also different.”
“There are ordinary people, there are refugees, there are captives, there are slaves, and there are beggars.” Zhao Hanzhang looked at him and said, “These people only rely on military merit and their own ability to win status and power in the army. Family background is not judged by merit, but by ability and conduct.”
“So Liu Yi, although you are not captured, you can still have a place in the Zhao family army. In the future, all the subjects of your Han country can!”
