Wei and Jin Cooks - Chapter 827

Chapter 827 Union

The door of the Wei family was knocked, and the Wei family shrank back in an instant in the lobby. Mrs. Wei shrank nervously, looking around in panic, trying to find a place to hide herself.

Wei Chao hugged his mother vigorously, turned his head to his hesitant father and said, “Father, leave the house and surrender. Governor Zhao is a generous person, and she will tolerate me waiting.”

Master Wei clenched his fists nervously, “But if she knows that our family is Shi Le’s Yue family, how can she let me go?”

Wei Chao stomped his feet and said, “What kind of Yue family are we? Elder Sister is a concubine who was forcibly taken away. With Governor Zhao’s eyes and heart, she will not blame us for this. Father, wait any longer. If Zhao’s army thinks that we are stubborn, charge When you come into the mansion, can you keep it just by relying on these servants’ trilogy?”

The young people on the side repeatedly agreed, “Brother, it only took her half a day to take down such a big Zhencheng, can’t she take down our little Wei house?”

Master Wei got up tremblingly, and went to open the door with the housekeeper.

Wei Chao handed his mother to his aunt and grandmother, and followed him.

The door was wide open, and although the Zhao family army outside the door was quite resentful for them taking so long to open the door, and their faces were ugly, they didn’t particularly embarrass them. Bar.”

Master Wei’s knees gave way, and he almost fell to his knees.

Wei Chao hurried forward, saluted and asked, “I don’t know why the governor summoned you?”

“How do we know this? Just go as soon as you are told, so much nonsense, hurry up, we have to call the next one.”

They are going to call the Sanjia, and it took too long to stay at Wei’s.

Seeing that his father was really scared, Wei Chao asked, “I am the son of the head of the family, so I wonder if I can go with me?”

Zhao Jiajun waved casually: “Let’s go.”

They didn’t think much of the pale-faced Mr. Zhao either. If the governor wanted to discuss matters with them, he had to find someone who could speak well and was courageous.

Their team led their father and son to knock on the door of the next house.

The action of knocking on the door was very rude, with a loud bang, as if trying to knock down someone’s door.

But the people inside did not open the door for a long time, and they did not insult or attack.

When they arrived at the third Yan’s house, the two sides almost met swordsmen, but the Zhao family’s army didn’t kill anyone. They just beat their servants to the ground, and then dragged their patriarch, Yan Qing, away.

The reason why it is so difficult to recruit gentry and village elders in Zhencheng is because Shi Le has been stationed here for a while.

At that time, it was either for survival, or to be optimistic about Shi Le. Anyway, many people took refuge in Shi Le. This kind of refuge did not mean giving money (robbing) and giving things like Dunqiu, they also gave people.

At this time, many families had children serving in the Shile army, so they were afraid of Zhao Hanzhang’s liquidation.

But Zhao Hanzhang just listened to it, and then asked them if they followed Shi Le firmly?

Everyone naturally shook their heads. If Shi Le didn’t call in, how could they, who are a little richer than ordinary people, think of joining him?

It’s just to save life and live a less difficult life.

Zhao Hanzhang smiled at them and said, “That’s good. If you all want to follow Shi Le, I can only ask you to leave Zhencheng. After all, there can only be one master in a city.”

Everyone quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but their backs were still tense, waiting for Zhao Hanzhang’s next sentence.

Zhao Hanzhang took a sip of the tea bowl and said to them, “As for the sons and daughters of the family who work in Shile, I don’t care about them. Not to mention father and son, there are many people who have different political opinions between husband and wife. Just follow your inner choice .”

“However, since you have chosen Zhao, you must be loyal to Zhao and the state of Jin,” Zhao Hanzhang said with a serious face, “I can allow you to make false claims against the enemy in order to save your life, but you must not lose your principles and bottom line.”

Everyone bowed their heads in response, seeing that Zhao Hanzhang really had no intention of pursuing it, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Hanzhang met all these gentry and village elders alone, and also met all the nephews and nephews at home who came with them. No one knew what she talked to them alone.

Anyway, one night passed, and the next morning Zhao Hanzhang elected a new magistrate for Zhencheng.

The son of the Wei family, Wei Chao, is only seventeen years old. He is very young among the gentry and countrymen, so everyone can’t understand why she chose Wei Chao, even Master Wei doesn’t understand.

To be honest, Master Wei is a little jealous.

Zhao Hanzhang left Wei Chao alone to talk, and the two walked up to the tower of Zhencheng in the morning light.

The city towers are mottled, the city walls and the ground are still stained with blood, and there are knife marks everywhere.

Zhao Hanzhang reached out and patted the city wall, “This city is heavy, you have to think clearly, once you pick it up, you can’t put it down easily.”

Wei Chao’s eyes were firm and serious, and he bowed deeply to Zhao Hanzhang and said, “I know that, I am willing to protect this city and the people in this city with my life.”

Thinking of the eldest sister who was robbed, Wei Chao’s eyes flashed with grief, and said: “Don’t let them be slaughtered and robbed again!”

Zhao Hanzhang couldn’t help but raised the corners of his mouth, and looked at him appreciatively, “Okay! I just hope you will do what you say. Remember, when you stand here, behind you are the people of a city.”

Wei Chao raised his robe and knelt down, kowtowed deeply, and replied, “No!”

Zhao Hanzhang helped him up, turned around and went downstairs.

The gentry and villagers of Zhencheng prepared things for Zhao Hanzhang to reward the army, and sent them to the army with a look of apprehension.

Zhao Hanzhang glanced at it and gave half of it to Wei Chao in front of everyone, saying: “Into the warehouse, the people need to be appeased. After we leave, you guard Zhencheng. If there is any accident, you can ask Dunqiu for help. I hope you will Watch and help each other, and carry forward together.”

Wei Chao responded.

Leaving from Zhencheng, Zhao Hanzhang divided his army into two groups. One route led Song Xin to attack from the east route to the south, while she led an army to advance from the west route.

Fu Tinghan followed Zhao Hanzhang, while Fan Ying went to Song Xin’s logistics.

Zhao Hanzhang still ordered Qiuwu to let the weapon shop prepare more gunpowder, but it would take a long way to transport it from Chen County, so she might as well send someone to collect the materials and hand them over to Fu Tinghan and the others to make them.

So Fu Tinghan is also very busy. He not only has to manage the logistics of her journey, but also leads the craftsmen to make gunpowder, and distributes some to Song Xin.

But they were very lucky. They didn’t use any gunpowder in the next three cities. As soon as they arrived, the people in the city turned against each other. The gentry and villagers killed the generals and captains stationed in Dingtao County together, and then opened the city gate to welcome Zhao Hanzhang into the city.

As soon as Zhao Hanzhang entered the city, he praised Yin Hua, the county magistrate of Dingtao County, not only exempted them from the crime of throwing Shile in the city before, but also promoted him to Sima of Jiyin County, which can be described as soaring into the sky.

At the same time, in Linqiu County, righteous men led by Shi Wen rushed into the county government office, killed the new county magistrate, and led the people in the city to occupy the tower. When Song Xin led the army to arrive, Shi Wen took the lead to open the Passed the city gate to welcome Zhao’s army into the city.

Song Xin reported the matter to Zhao Hanzhang.

Zhao Hanzhang replied with a letter of commendation and a document appointing the magistrate of Linqiu County, which had Zhao Hanzhang’s private seal and the official seal of the governor of Yuzhou on it.

Shi Wen did not question her identity as the governor of Yuzhou, but came to appoint the local county magistrate of Yanzhou. Now everyone knows that Gou Xi surrendered to Shi Le and died in battle, and the emperor was snatched by Liu Cong. On the one hand, he is from King Langya in Jiangdong.

Yanzhou is in a war, and it is close to Yuzhou. The northern regions basically obey Zhao Hanzhang, but in the Huainan area of ​​the south of the Yangtze River, many places recognize King Langya as the leader.

When the news of Dunqiu and Zhencheng came out, Zhao Hanzhang’s reputation among the Han people in the north rose and reached a new height. Dingtao County and Linqiu were able to win without a fight precisely because her words in Dunqiu were spread.

Before Shi Le could react, Zhao Hanzhang went all the way like a broken bamboo. In just eight days, he went down five cities and approached Meng County.

Shi Le learned that the minds of the Han people in various cities were floating, and he felt that he could not do better than Zhao Hanzhang, and he was from the Jie family, and Zhao Hanzhang was from the Huaxia family, so they were naturally allies.

So it was impossible to subdue people with kindness, so he killed people wantonly, forcing them to fear and dare not rebel.

Shi Le killed people outside Xiayi County, and his generals followed suit. They also killed in Meng County and Ningling. Everyone in the city was in danger. Although they watched Zhao’s army approaching, they did not dare to move.

As a result, all counties in Yanzhou killed the enemy and surrendered to Zhao Hanzhang, while Meng County and Ningling, which she supported with one hand, closed their gates tightly to her and waited for them.

Zhao Hanzhang was not angry, only worried, “Command the ministries to send people to see me. This time we will fight together and strive to win with one blow.”

Otherwise, Shi Le’s counterattack is bound to cause serious losses to Meng County and Ningling.

Xun Xiu was in Sui County, Mi Ce was in Yangxia, and Zhao Ming ordered Wang Nie to guard Wuping, barely resisting Shi Le’s two armies, while Zhao Ju led Zhao’s army to guard Xiayi County, and Wang Xuan, who came to aid him from Jingzhou, assisted him. , but Shile’s offensive was too fierce, and Xiayi County fell several times, and they regained it with difficulty.

Shi Le became ruthless, and wiped out all the Wubao and villages outside Xiayi County, and arrested the Han people and drove them to attack the city as front shields.

Behind Xiayi County are not only the people of the city, but also Chen County. Once Shi Le captures Xiayi, Chen County will be in danger. Zhao Hanzhang and others have worked hard for three years there, so Zhao Ju vowed to defend it to the death, so he could only order to release it. Arrows, indiscriminate shooting.

In just half a month, Zhao Ju’s temples were covered with gray hair, and he felt extremely stressed. As soon as he received Zhao Hanzhang’s letter, he immediately called Wang Xuan and asked him to find a way to meet Zhao Hanzhang outside Meng County via Sui County.

The world is so vast and Yuzhou is so big, even if Shi Le conquered Ningling and Meng County, it would be impossible for him to completely block the road communication, so even Zhao Ming sent people to Daying to meet Zhao Hanzhang.

Zhao Hanzhang besieged the city and forced Shile to send reinforcements while waiting for people from various ministries to come. Everyone discussed a set of battle plans and wrote them in secret language.

One set of three secret letters, as long as one of them can be delivered to the place, they can launch a counterattack on time.

Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan sighed, “Communication depends on people. It would be great if there is a wireless telegraph at this time.”

Three thousand words… It took a long time, I was forced to discipline myself, happy
