Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 266 Passive Skills
Xiang Kang sent someone to quietly follow the Zhang Zhi brothers and sisters, purely looking for trouble for nothing, there was no need for that at all—he really wanted to clean up the Zhang Zhi brothers and sisters who were about to flee the country, Xiang Kang only needed to keep his mouth open, and secretly followed the guards of the Han Palace who were protecting him immediately. You can go forward and take down the Zhang Zhi brothers and sisters, torture them severely on the grounds that they do not have ID cards, and guarantee that they will never dare to escape from the territory controlled by the Han army for the rest of their lives.

There are only two reasons for looking for trouble. One is that Xiang Kang is a little curious about why Zhang Zhi wants to gossip about the reason why his brother and sister are planning to return to their hometown, and why he refuses his own request for a visit. I am indeed a little coveted, and want to find out where she lives by the way, and see if there is a chance to develop a further friendship in the future.

However, after returning to Xianyang Palace, Xiang Kang felt that he was purely meddling. The reason why Zhang Zhi brothers and sisters lied must not be very complicated. The army pursued and settled the old accounts, and refused to take himself to their house as a guest. Of course, he was afraid that his nephew in Xianyang would know where they lived. There would be no other more important reason for sending officials from the Xianyang County Temple to trouble them.

It is even more absurd to want to develop a friendship with Zhang Zhi's younger sister. I am surrounded by various military affairs and government affairs all day long.If you really want to hug that beautiful little girl to bed, you can just send someone to recruit her into the palace, why waste your precious time developing a relationship with her?
"Those who have already become kings are still so naive in their thinking, so please pay attention to me in the future."

He secretly complained about his absurd behavior, and Xiang Kang quickly put this matter behind him. After returning to the palace, he continued to focus on dealing with military and political affairs, but to Xiang Kang's surprise, In the evening, Xu Ji suddenly ran up to him and reported, "Your Majesty, the guards we sent to track down the brother and sister have returned, and they really discovered something important."

"What important situation?" Xiang Kang asked casually.

"The Xianyang Dangliu where the brother and sister live, there are many hidden people who have not changed their certificates and have no household registration."

Xu Ji gave a brief report first, and then introduced the details to Xiang Kang. It turned out that the guards sent by Xu Ji secretly followed all the way, first confirmed that Zhang Zhi and his sister lived in Dangliuli residential area on the south bank of the Weishui River, and then investigated by the way. After looking at the local situation, it turned out that there were many black households without Han household registration hidden in the area of ​​Dangliuli, including Zhang Zhi’s brother and sister’s family. Many of them moved to Dangliuli after the Han army took over Xianyang. A native of Guanzhong who lives in Liuli, Lizheng and the head of the pavilion turn a blind eye to these situations, and may accept bribes to deliberately cover up.

"This Wu Yi, what do you eat?" Xiang Kang was a little annoyed, and said, "Under my nose, there are so many black households without household registration, and most of them must be the family members of the Tyrant Qin army." , I haven't found out until now, I think he doesn't want to continue to be a Xianyang commander!"

After complaining about the incompetence of the accomplice and running dog, Xiang Kang immediately shouted: "Go and send an order to Wu Yi immediately, telling him to solve the problem of being a criminal in Liuli for me as soon as possible! Don't leave any hidden dangers! Otherwise, I want him to look good! "

Xu Ji made a promise, and immediately arranged for people to convey Xiang Kang's orders to Wu Yi in Xianyang, but Xiang Kang soon found out that he had misunderstood Wu Yi, because Wu Yi went to the palace to report in person that night, saying that he was Liu Li. In fact, he has been clear about the situation for a long time. The reason why the local Li Zheng and the pavilion chief turned a blind eye on purpose was also Wu Yi's secret arrangement. The remnants of the ruling Qin court were lured together and then wiped out.

In addition, Wu Yi, who was innocently punished, also presented Chen Ping's personal order, proving that Dangliu Li's trap was the Han army spy chief Chen Ping agreed with him to arrange the design, allowed him to do so, and arranged some Han troops The secret service helped him.Xiang Kang turned his anger into joy when he saw this, and said: "It seems that the king has wronged you. You did it beautifully and lived up to the trust that the king has placed in you. You are very competent as a Xianyang magistrate."

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty." Wu Yi hurriedly saluted to thank you, and said impatiently: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have already arranged a net for you, and I will collect it tomorrow. I promise to wipe out all those remnants of the tyrannical Qin Dynasty for you, Your Majesty."

"Very well, let's do it. If you are short of manpower, you can ask Chao Zhi to send troops to help you." Xiang Kang nodded in satisfaction, and then casually ordered: "But don't kill indiscriminately. When you start to collect the net, just There is no armed resistance, no killing or abuse is allowed, and the people of Xianyang must be stabilized."

Wu Yi hurriedly agreed, and happily bid farewell to go back to prepare to close the net. Xiang Kang, who was busy with official business, once again put this matter behind him, and only concentrated on continuing to handle the official business that he had been delaying during the day.

The next day's affairs were still heavy. Apart from the never-ending official documents, Uncle Zhou sent someone to send an urgent report when the time was approaching, saying that the coalition forces of Zhang Han, Sima Xin and Dong Yi were fighting in Taiyuan County. He won a big victory, broke through Zhao Jun's Shuquegu defense line in one fell swoop, and successfully entered the Taiyuan Basin.

In addition, Uncle Zhou also clearly pointed out by the way that with the current strength of Zhao's army, without the protection of the natural danger of Shuque Valley, the fall of Taiyuan County is basically a foregone conclusion. Please Xiang Kang to prepare early and beware of Zhang Han After the others successfully captured Taiyuan and Dai Commanderies, they really marched to attack Jiuyuan County and Shang County, the important horse-producing places of the Han Army, threatening the safety of the Han Army's northern front.

"It is necessary to strengthen the defense of Jiuyuan County and Shang County."

Xiang Kang didn't dare to ignore Uncle Zhou's warning, so he immediately ordered Jiuyuan County and Shang County to ask the local Han army reorganized from the surrendered Qin army to strengthen their combat readiness, so as to resist the possible attack of Dong Yi, who was entrusted in Jiuyuan Shang County. .Zhang Liang then said: "Your Majesty, the area around Jiuyuan and Shangjun is vast and sparsely populated. It is not suitable for a large number of troops to be stationed for a long time. For the gang of Zhang Han, Sima Xin and Dong Yi, we'd better use offense instead of defense. It really eliminates hidden dangers.”

"I can't spare a shot." Xiang Kang said rather distressed: "The distance is so far, and our army is still expanding and reorganizing. How can we have the energy to attack them?"

"It may not be necessary to use force." Zhang Liang said with a smile: "Although Zhang Han, Sima Xin, and Dong Yi were close friends in the past, now they each lead an army and have different interests. Majesty, you show your skills and show your special skills?"

"Mr. Zifang's words are too polite. Just say that the king is good at sowing dissension. Why be so tactful?" Xiang Kang first laughed, and then said: "Stimulating dissension is indeed the best way to deal with Zhang Han and his gang. , but the opportunity is not yet ripe, Zhang Han's gang will definitely try their best to unite in order to get the fief that my elder brother gave them. Divorce is extremely difficult, at least they have to wait for them to win Taiyuan County and let Sima Xin We alone have to bear the money, food and military supplies for Zhang Han and Dong Yi's two bandit armies, and only then can we find a chance to fight."

"Your Majesty is really talented in this area." Zhang Liang smiled and said, "It will be up to the King how to do it. Foreign ministers are not good at tactics, and they just want to learn more from the King in this area."

"Mr. Zifang, can you learn from me?" Xiang Kang smiled wryly, and said, "If you do this kind of thing too much, it's not good for your reputation."

While joking with Zhang Liang, a guard suddenly came in from outside the hall to report that there was a commotion in the residential area on the south bank of the Weishui River. As a result, Zhou Zeng and Zhang Liang who were present were a little surprised when they heard this, but Xiang Kang guessed that it must be Xianyang Lingwu When the mobile phone closed the net, he told them the situation. Zhou Zeng and Zhang Liang were relieved after hearing this, but it is also a man's nature. Xiang Kang suddenly thought of his coveted cousin Zhang Zhi, and secretly said: "That little beauty obviously doesn't have a good temper, so don't get hurt or die in the turmoil, right?"

The riots on the south bank of the Weishui River lasted until the afternoon of the same day and did not subside completely. In the evening, Xianyang ordered Wu Yi to go to the palace to report in person, saying that his Xianyang officials and county soldiers had successfully captured thousands of Qin people who did not take the initiative to change their inspections. The survivors of the court were all imprisoned in the Xianyang County soldiers' garrison, and a large number of people were arranged to work overtime for interrogation. Xiang Kang was very satisfied with what he heard, and asked casually, "How about the casualties? Did anyone slip through the net?"

"Your Majesty, forgive me. When the area around Liuli was densely populated, it was too difficult to encircle, and some escaped." Wu Yi apologized honestly, and said: "The casualties were not many, and only five of our people died. , injured more than 30 bandits, and was forced to kill more than [-] bandits who refused to put down their weapons and surrender, and less than a hundred bandits were injured."

"Well done." Xiang Kang praised again, and then ordered: "Hurry up and interrogate to see if you have caught any big fish, and intensify the search and arrest, and try to catch all the bandits who slipped through the net as soon as possible, so as not to cause panic. "

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will do my best." Wu Yi hurriedly agreed, and then said: "My Majesty, if there is no other order, I will leave first."

Xiang Kang hesitated to speak, he wanted to tell Wu Yi to take care of Zhang Zhi brothers and sisters for him, but he felt that there was no need for this, and he didn't want the accomplices who worked hard to know that he never forgot about a woman who was a survivor of the Qin court without a registered permanent residence, so he waved With a wave of his hand, Wu moved back to preside over the trial of the captured Qin Ting immigrants.

It was still a man's nature, and at noon the next day, Xiang Kang still did not forget Zhang Zhi's beautiful sister, and was so bored in the palace that he panicked again, so he simply changed into Confucian clothes again, and led Xu Ji and the two The ten guards went out of the palace in micro-clothes, under the guise of visiting and relaxing, and went straight to the Xianyang County soldier station where the survivors of the Qin court are currently being held to check the situation. They were still wondering whether to bring that beautiful little girl back to Xianyang Palace today Let her cover her feet and make meritorious atonement.

Unfortunately, when Xiang Kang arrived at the station of the Xianyang County soldiers, Wu, the former Xiaxiang county official who joined the Young Marshal Army as early as when he was prime minister, moved back to the Xianyang County Temple to handle other official affairs, so he couldn't come out to report to Xiang Kang in person. Condition.Fortunately, Xiang Kang also had other methods, and asked Xu Ji to come forward and show the waist badge of the guard of Xianyang Palace. On the grounds that he sent someone to check the situation, he still entered the Xianyang County soldier's garrison smoothly, and went closer to check the captured However, Xiang Kang searched left and right among the crying crowd. Not only did Xiang Kang not see Zhang Zhi’s cousin who made him so obsessed, he didn’t even see Zhang Zhi.

"Could it be that the Zhang Zhi brothers and sisters happened to be one of the few fish that slipped through the net, wouldn't it be such a coincidence?"

"What are you doing? Let me go! Let me go!"

Just when he was feeling strange, the vaguely familiar scream of a girl suddenly reached Xiang Kang's ears. Xiang Kang quickly turned his head to look, and was immediately amused. Pulled out a girl dressed as a maid, and dragged her to be interrogated in front of Wu Yi's civil servants. The girl struggled and screamed. Who is the beautiful cousin whose voice is not Zhang Zhi?

If there is an opportunity for a hero to save the beauty, how can Xiang Kang miss it?When he strode closer, Xiang Kang stopped loudly, and then gave Xu Ji a wink. Xu Ji understood, and immediately stepped forward to show his badge to Wu Yi's subordinates alone, and then whispered in his ear After a while, Xiang Kang ordered: "She doesn't need to be interrogated, and I will take it away."

Without any doubt, Wu Yi's subordinates of course immediately ordered the girl to be handed over to Xiang Kang, and the girl who was still in shock recognized Xiang Kang and said in surprise, "Why is it you?"

"It's me." Xiang Kang smiled slightly, first led her to a remote place on the side, and then asked her alone: ​​"How is it? Are you not injured? Where is your brother?"

The girl didn't answer, but just looked at Xiang Kang vigilantly, and when Xiang Kang asked Zhang Zhi's whereabouts again, the girl said: "I don't know, yesterday was too chaotic, I was separated from him, I don't know where he is." There."

After a little calculation, he felt that the girl had no need to lie, so Xiang Kang asked again: "What's your name? Is there any other family members here?"

The girl hesitated for a long time, and then said in a low voice: "My name is Zhang Yun, and here are my mother and my two aunts. They have all been arrested."

"Call them out, I'll take you with them." Xiang Kang said very gently.

The girl Zhang Yun hesitated again, and asked vigilantly, "What do you want to do?"

"Of course I want to help you." Xiang Kang said with a smile: "You don't even think about it. If you leave your mother and aunt here, what kind of suffering will they suffer?"

"Why did you help me?" Zhang Yun asked back.

Xiang Kang smiled, and asked directly: "What do you think? You are not young, don't you understand what I mean?"

Suddenly remembering the day before yesterday when Xiang Kang was looking at himself lewdly at the market, Zhang Yun suddenly realized, and then blushed immediately, cursing in a low voice: "Dengtuzi! You are dreaming!"

"Then you go back." Xiang Kang said directly: "I'm very busy, I don't have time to chatter with you, if you want, just call your relatives out, and I will ensure that they are safe and well-fed. You can go back and let the official temple in Xianyang send you off, and we will definitely not have a chance to meet again in the future."

After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Yun blushed and said: "I can promise you, but I have a condition, you must ask your uncle to give my mother and the others a new identity, and you are not allowed to ask them about the past."

"No problem." Xiang Kang agreed.

Zhang Yun looked at Xiang Kang suspiciously, Xiang Kang understood what she was thinking, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I've always kept my promises, and never broke my word."

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Yun decided to take a gamble for the sake of his biological mother and aunt who had already been captured. First, he told Xiang Kang to keep his word, and then he returned to the crowd and took three middle-aged men in ordinary clothes The woman led it out, pointed to one of the women and said, "She is my mother."

"Hello, aunt." Xiang Kang bowed his hands to the middle-aged woman very politely, and then told the guard next to him: "Go and prepare two cars, let them go in the car."

The guard immediately went to prepare the carriage, Zhang Yun also blushed and told her mother and aunt about the situation in a low voice, and Zhang's mother kept looking at Xiang Kang quietly, and it was only when the guard brought the carriage that Zhang's mother became more courageous Going forward, he bowed to Xiang Kang and said, "Young Master Kang, Xing'er will be entrusted to you in the future, please treat her better, she has been spoiled by me and her aunty, but she has a very kind heart."

"Auntie, if you don't say that, I will treat Xing'er well." Xiang Kang replied with a smile, but Zhang's mother's eyes were red, and she shed tears in front of Xiang Kang. Her two sisters-in-law were also crying and resigned to their fate. With the help of Zhang Yun, he got into the carriage and left the Xianyang County Army Garrison surrounded by Xiang Kang's guards.

He knew exactly what kind of fate he would face. After leaving the barracks, Zhang Yun kept his head down and did not dare to look at Xiang Kang. But as he walked, Zhang Yun suddenly realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked Xiang Kang: "Hey, where are you taking us? Isn't this the way to Xianyang County Temple?"

"Don't ask too many questions, you'll know when you arrive."

Xiang Kang wanted to surprise Zhang Yun, so he deliberately didn't tell her his destination in a hurry, but Zhang Yun was very familiar with the roads in Xianyang, so he said in a fearful voice: "This is the road to Xianyang Palace. What do you want to do? Do you want to take us to that villain Xiang Kang?"

"You are so courageous, you dare to call our King of Han a villain?" Xiang Kang smiled, and asked a little strangely: "Why? You seem to be very afraid of seeing our King of Han?"

"My family has a blood feud with him!"

Xiang Kang was taken aback by Zhang Yun's blurted answer, and he couldn't figure out when he forged such a beautiful enemy?But Zhang Yun became more and more anxious, and said: "Kang, are you still a man? I have already promised you, why do you still hand me over to you King of Han? Don't you know that my mother and I fell into the same place?" What will happen to you in the hands of the King of Han?!"

Xiang Kang was even more confused, but what made Xiang Kang even more confused was still behind. Suddenly, two men dressed as ordinary people rushed out from the side of the road and blocked the way of Xiang Kang, Zhang Yun and others. Xu Ji and other guards were shocked , hurriedly showed his weapon to protect Xiang Kang, but Zhang Yun screamed, "Uncle Ji! Brother! You run! Run!"

One of the two men turned out to be Zhang Yun's cousin, Zhang Zhi, and another middle-aged man shouted at Xiang Kang with red eyes: "Zhuzi! If you are still a man, let the woman go, what's the matter?" Come at me!"

Xiang Kang was completely confused, but the middle-aged man tore off the sword from his waist, fell heavily on the ground, and shouted: "Don't take our Zhang family's female family members as hostages! I'm the one you want to arrest!" Zhang Xi, the younger brother of Zhang Han, Great General of the Great Qin Dynasty! I will go with you and release my wife, my two sister-in-laws, and my niece, they are innocent!"

Xiang Kang opened his mouth wide, and Zhang Zhi also threw away his weapon, and roared with red eyes: "Your surname is Kang, you are also a man! I am Zhang Zhi, Zhang Han's nephew Zhang Zhi! Take me to hand over to Xiang Kang." Kang, let you enjoy the glory and wealth! But don't embarrass my mother!"

The four women in the two carriages were crying loudly, and Xiang Kang's guards had already rushed up and captured Zhang Xi and Zhang Zhi's uncle and nephew who had voluntarily surrendered on the spot. As a result, Zhang Xi and Zhang Zhi did not resist , just yelled at Xiang Kang, "We've already been arrested! That bastard Xiang Kang can punish us however he wants, but don't embarrass our family members, they are innocent, and if they are men, don't use women as punching bags!"

There was already an uproar on both sides of the road, Xiang Kang also gradually came back to his senses, first he smiled wryly and couldn't believe such a coincidence in the world, then he said to Zhang Xi who was escorted in front of him: "So it's General Zhang San , I thought you had escaped a long time ago, but I didn't expect you to be still in Xianyang."

"If it's not being dragged down by the women's relatives, it's because you rats also want to catch me?" Zhang Xi snorted coldly, and then said: "Take me to ask for credit, because I took the initiative to give you the glory and wealth. Don't embarrass the women of our Zhang Family, you King of Han!"

At this time, Zhang Yun also jumped out of the carriage, rushed to Xiang Kang, knelt down on his knees, and cried, "Mr. Kang, let my family go. I can do whatever you want. If you want Gong, you handed me over to you King of Han, I am Zhang Han’s daughter Zhang Yun, you use me to threaten my father, you can do whatever you want me to do, I will go with you.”

Xiang Kang smiled, and said to Zhang Yun with a smile: "Ms. Zhang, this is what you said. As long as I let your family go, you will stay and listen to me. Are you keeping your promise?"

"I can swear to God!" Zhang Yun's eyes were red with anxiety, and he didn't even think about whether a nephew of Xianyang Ling would have the courage to release her family. He just said quickly: "As long as you let my family go, I am willing to keep it Come down to serve you forever!"

"Deal!" Xiang Kang agreed without hesitation, and quickly said, "You stay and be my concubine. I will send someone to send your family to Taiyuan, so that your family can be reunited with your father and General Zhang Ping."

"Really?" Zhang Yun's ears were so surprised that he couldn't believe it, he suddenly froze again, and asked in shock, "What did you say? You want me to be your concubine? What do you mean by that?"

"Haven't you guessed my true identity?" Xiang Kang asked with a wry smile, and said with an even more wry smile: "Also, since when did this king have a blood feud with your Zhang family? Your father, your second uncle, and I really Even though I fought countless battles on the battlefield, my uncle still died at the hands of your father, but even my elder brother Xichu Bawang's fiery temper can still forgive your father and your second uncle, let alone this king ?”

"You..., you are Xiang Kang?!" Zhang Yun's voice was extremely trembling. Seeing Xiang Kang's nod, not only Zhang Yun was alone, but all the members of Zhang Han's family who were present were not in a dizzy state, and almost fainted on the spot. past.

It was only when Zhou Zeng, Chao Zhi, Zhang Liang and others led the Han army out of the palace to welcome Xiang Kang that Zhang Han's family really believed in Xiang Kang's identity. Zhang Liang and others were very surprised after hearing what happened. , and both of them laughed out loud, completely unable to believe that there would be such a coincidental accident in the world.After laughing loudly, Zhang Liang bowed his hands to Xiang Kang with great admiration and said, "Your Majesty is indeed brilliant, what the ministers mentioned yesterday, you have accomplished today."

"What do you mean?" Xiang Kang was a little confused again.

"Why does Your Majesty require foreign ministers to explain directly?" Zhang Liang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you accepted Zhang Han's daughter as a concubine, and sent his family to Taiyuan to reunite with Zhang Han. Sima Xin and Dong Yi met. Can you not be suspicious of Zhang Han? Also, when you see your lord taking the initiative to return Zhang Han's family, Zhang Han, Sima Xin and Dong Yi have so many Guanzhong soldiers under the command of three men, what do you think?"

In fact, Xiang Kang, who just didn't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately, was speechless. After a while, he smiled and said something that Zhang Liang absolutely couldn't understand, "Passive skills, really passive skills. It's like the Germans accept refugees, when they let refugees take a bath , without intentional arrangements, the water pipes can automatically emit poisonous gas, a natural passive skill."
