Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 898 When you feel proud, you rush to see him first

After all the excitement, Zhujiao finally felt a little tired and took a quick rest at the urging of the manager.

However, not long after he fell asleep, he was woken up by someone. The person who woke him up was his own steward, but Zhujiao knew very well that if it was not something important, his confidant would not Will disturb my rest.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Lu Zhi, a gentleman from the Lu family who defected to King Jiangdu, somehow found our family here and came to ask for favors. He said that it was related to Fan Yang's safety and wanted to leave to meet the general. !”

"Have all our family members here been found?" Shujiao shook his head and laughed after hearing this, "You are really serious. I came all the way here, but I didn't even care about the family members who live here. Who is here?"

The man in charge immediately understood the situation and went up to him and said, "It's your cousin. His son, under the leadership of Third Master, entered the capital as an official."

"It turns out it's him," Shujiao smiled indifferently, "after all, he is also my elder. I should have paid a visit, but nothing can be compared to the general's affairs after all. I also wanted to wait until after the war to see him again. Now that They are all here, and we cannot turn them away. Please ask them to wait in the hall while I straighten my clothes and go over."

The Shu family is an aristocratic family in the North. Although the population is not large, it has a deep foundation after all. There are still many branches, which are distributed in Youzhou and Jizhou. Fanyang County is no exception, and there is even a large branch. However, He does not live in the city, but in the manor and dock outside the city. The person who lives in this city is the person with the highest status in the family.

This person is higher than Shujiao in terms of seniority, and he manages a large branch with a large number of people, including many outstanding children. When Shujiao was growing up, he also had the same fate as other people's children. It was sometimes mentioned in it, It was Fan Yang.

Now this elder is entrusted by others to come to his side, to show favor and let people do things. It is not easy to do it with a few words. The human feelings in it are quite profound.

Here, Shu Jiao was thinking in his heart, but the person in charge over there still had some doubts and couldn't help but remind him: "My lord, although the situation is great, the war is not over after all. What if Mr. Lu Zhi... If we really have something important to say, we can’t delay General Zhengbei’s affairs!”

"Okay, you're starting to care about national affairs too," Shu Jiao laughed when he heard that, seeing that the steward was about to plead guilty, he shook his head and said, "It's okay, what you said is also right, but the general and I It has been planned for a long time that Lu Zhi came here for two purposes, one is to be a lobbyist for the king of Jiangdu, and the other is to pass a message to the other two armies in Fanyang County. Seeing that I am anxious, I might make this person look down on me and make an unimportant suggestion, so it is not a bad thing to show him off. As for whether something will happen if I wait, I naturally know in my heart."

The steward quickly flattered him and said, "It turns out that the general and the master had already known this person's intention, but the villain was overly worried."

Shujiao followed and said, "You may not be overly worried about what you said. Since you have asked me to come to my house, you have to meet me. Let's make arrangements first."

When the steward here went to arrange a meeting, another person hurriedly arrived at Youzhou City on the other side. It was Guo Zhi and his party, accompanied by two soldiers. Because the body bones were difficult to cover up, as soon as they arrived at the city gate, Someone stopped them - the war had just stopped at this time, and the prison camp outside the city had not yet settled down. There were countless deserters, and there were many people with ulterior motives coming and going. It can be said that there were many hidden dangers. Of course, the city gate It must be closely guarded.

Not to mention, the ability to win Youzhou City in the first place was due to the internal and external cooperation, and even the Qiu County was invincible. In view of this, the soldiers and horses of Daijun paid special attention to this garrison inspection, not to mention a convoy, just a car full of troops. It is impossible for people to pass a bullock cart that is covered in weeds without going back and forth, inside and out.

The result was that Guo Zhi and his group had just arrived, handed over customs clearance documents, identified themselves, and were eager to see Chen Zhi. However, before they could arrange a time to see Chen Zhi, a bunch of fierce soldiers gathered around them. , looked inside and outside the convoy several times, and pulled the two soldiers out.

"Everyone, everyone, this is really a misunderstanding!" Facing the question, Guo Zhi smiled bitterly. He pointed at the two soldiers and explained, "These two are from the primary school under Wu Governor, and one is from him." The disciples, one of whom is his nephew, are all close people. The reason why I came here with you is because they surrendered to General Zhengbei, and their soldiers and horses are the same team stationed outside Fanyang County!"

As soon as he said this, the leading gatekeeper immediately realized the sensitivity of the matter. He can be the leader here, so he is capable. He is also the leader of the team. He is a member of the two hundred Chen family servants. He knows the situation and knows Fanyang County seems to be peaceful at the moment, but in fact there are hidden dangers. The source is that among the soldiers and horses dispatched by Wang Jun, there are still two armies that have not yet been put down.

The two armies, reportedly numbering nearly [-] in total, were stationed in the south of the county, one in Rongcheng County and the other in Fanyang County.

This Fanyang County is named after Fan Yang, but its county head is not Fanyang County, but Zhuo County, which is now called Youzhou City. Fanyang County is on the southern boundary of the county, west of Rongcheng County and about [-] kilometers away from Jizhou. Beixincheng is very close, and it has always been an important town guarding the border of Youzhou.

Wang Jun's two armies were stationed outside the two southern counties in order to profile the southern army attacking Dai and to be wary of the refugees heading north from Jizhou.

"Now that the general has been cut off from logistical supplies, the magistrate of Fanyang County has expressed his intention to surrender. Wu Governor cares about his troops and is unwilling to engage in any more unintentional fights, so he sent these two men with me in order to let them express their wishes in person. Intention of surrender!"

After a long conversation and a long effort, Guo Zhi finally managed to get through to the gatekeepers. The person who happened to go in to report also came back, saying that the general asked Guo Zhi and others to go over and meet!

"Okay, okay! I'll be there soon. I'll put the carriages and horses here so that you can feel at ease."

As soon as he heard that Chen Zhi had agreed, Guo Zhi didn't care about anything else and ran away with the two soldiers. But he knew that Lu Zhi had already entered the city and might be in front at this moment. How could he be allowed to lead?

Almost at the same time, Lu Zhi also came out of Shujiao Mansion and happened to hear the report that Guo Zhi had entered the city. He was immediately excited and ran away at the same speed!
　Time is too tight today, I will tally up the list tomorrow!
