Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 897 Returning home in fine clothes is also what celebrities want

Early the next morning, as soon as Chen Zhi got up to handle official duties, he heard someone coming from outside to report——

"Lu Zhiqiu, an aide under King Jiangdu, meets with the general!"

Before Chen Zhi could say anything, Shujiao, who was waiting on the side, smiled and said, "Lu Zhi? He's finally here. He has a lot of influence in King Jiangdu's camp. If you come here this time, you can fight with him." Some negotiation and tacit understanding can also increase our influence in Jizhou!"

Shujiao was born in a noble family in Hebei, and there were several figures in the Shu family behind him. His family background was not bad, but compared with the top families, there was still a long way to go. However, in Jizhou It is deeply rooted and has considerable influence.

When Chen Zhi just decided to go north, the Shu family sent Shu Jiao over, which can be seen from this.

As Chen Zhi's status stabilized, Shu Jiao's status in the Shu family gradually increased, and his original dependence gradually turned into a surrender. Now he is the chief secretary of the General's Mansion, and he has entered the core of Chen Zhi's team. Among them, after taking control of the power, he naturally wanted to further expand the power of General Zhengbei's Mansion, and his status would naturally rise.

Therefore, as soon as Youzhou City was captured here, he couldn't wait to come over and make plans to incorporate Zhuo County in Youzhou and Qiuxian County nearby, these two counties that had already been captured, into the Zhengbei General's Mansion. Within the jurisdiction, they are integrated.

However, this was not just his personal thoughts. Chen Zhi had made certain preparations before the war began. At the beginning, when Chen Zhi assigned tasks to his men, in addition to assigning tasks to the generals in charge of troops and horses, Chen Zhi In addition, some tasks were assigned to the civil servants under his command, including the part of following the occupation.

Shujiao came here this time and was also adhering to this instruction.

Like Guo Zhi, Lu Zhi, and even Wang Ren and other people in Jixian County, after learning that Chen Zhi suddenly attacked Fan Yang and captured Wang Jun alive, Chen Zhi's confidants and officials in that generation of counties were all shocked, and then they were ecstatic.

However, this news is still blocked to a certain extent. Only the upper echelons of the General's Mansion know about it, and it has not spread widely.

Subsequently, under Chen Zhi's order, many officials rushed over non-stop to sort out the situation and plan the process in Youzhou City.

Zhu Jiao has hardly slept well since the war started. After arriving in Youzhou, he has been busy all day and night and has not slept at all. At his age, staying up like this must be exhausting, but his The man is now in high spirits, and he doesn't even look sleepy at all!

So as soon as the news of Lu Zhi's visit came, he immediately became more energetic, thinking about the situation, and beaming.

"That's right," Chen Zhi nodded and put down the document in his hand, "Lu Zhi is here to represent King Jiangdu. His previous whereabouts were also under the control of secret spies. There are many envoys from Jizhou, but compared to As far as Lu Zhi is concerned, the others are not ranked, because he is a person who is truly capable of influencing King Jiangdu's decision. In the future, when we take control of Youzhou, we will have to face the chaos in Jizhou. Our relationship with King Jiangdu is It’s time to think about it.”

Upon hearing this, Shu Jiao nodded and said excitedly: "Lu Zhi's influence in Jizhou is really not small, and he is from the Lu family of Fanyang. He is actually a good middleman. This time, the lord can discuss with him when he comes here." Business can also be discussed privately. If we can have some friendship, it will definitely be beneficial. Moreover, he came here just to ask for help, just to control it in the future." He was about to say more, but suddenly he staggered, and his whole body Shake.

When Chen Zhi saw it, he couldn't help but said: "Shu Jun, you have been busy these days and haven't been able to rest. This is not good, it will hurt your vitality. Now the files of Youzhou City have been sorted out, and there are five thousand soldiers and horses." After the intensive reorganization, the overall situation has been decided and there will be no more repetitions, so you might as well go and take a rest first."

Seeing that Shu Jiao wanted to refuse, Chen Zhi smiled and said: "Don't worry, the situation in Youzhou is very complicated. I can't handle it by myself. Yang Yuan and Ran Zhan are fine with fighting, but sorting out government affairs is a lot of work." , your help is indispensable. When you regain your energy, you still have a heavy burden. Well, there is also Mr. Lu Zhilu. Let him wait for a while and let him dry. After all, there are still people coming, and there are more people coming. We can also check and balance each other and bargain, which gives us a little more leeway."

Hearing what Chen Zhi said, Shu Jiao couldn't hold on. He took care of the important matters at hand first, then said goodbye and left, returning to the mansion arranged for him by Chen Zhi.

This mansion is not small, with two entrances and two exits. The interior is well-decorated. It is a residence of the Kuai family of Fan Yang. Previously, the Kuai family leader and people from the Lu family visited Chen Zhi, but did not see him. They felt uneasy. , dedicated many things, and this house is one of them.

In order to comfort the Fan Yang family, Chen Zhi accepted them all. After all, these aristocratic families were still worried about what Chen Zhi thought of them. If they refused to accept the gifts at this time, they would inevitably make them misjudge and make troubles behind the scenes. .

However, Chen Zhi accepted it, but transferred it to his subordinates. Yang Yuan and Ran Zhan naturally gained a lot, and none of the generals who made meritorious service under their command were left behind. It was also covered, but this mansion was not given to him, but just let him live here.

Even so, Shujiao felt quite privileged and saw the future, so he became more energetic. After returning to the mansion, he was not sleepy for a while, but his steward came over to persuade him to rest early.

"How can I sleep like this?" Shu Jiao smiled all over his face, "I never expected that the situation of the general would be so good! This is not a small good, it is a good one! I was the head of the general's mansion, and there were letters from home. Encourage me, and talk about my cousin, who said that I can run the business for two years with peace of mind, and he is not weaker than him. They will never think that I, the head of the general's mansion, can interfere in the affairs of a state in a blink of an eye. , and the rise is Youzhou!"

Speaking of this, his expression became more and more excited.

The steward of the Shu family knew what his master meant.

He smiled and complimented: "The power and roots of the Shu family are originally in Hebei. They have roots in Jizhou and branches in Youzhou. The current war situation is certain. It is almost a certainty that Youzhou will be included in the jurisdiction of General Zhengbei. My Lord, the Chief Registrar of the General's Mansion, originally assisted the general in handling the official affairs of a county, but in the blink of an eye, he has become responsible for handling several counties in a state, that's really incredible!"

"The real great one is the general! I can't wait to be honored. From now on, I will just do my job well and share his worries." Shujiao first made a few remarks, and then said with a smile: "Of course, returning home in glory is also what a celebrity wants. , With the expansion of the General's Mansion, my family is also listed below, so my status will certainly rise!"
