Chapter 322 Zhang Zhao (1)

Zhao Lei nodded, bid farewell to Lu Kang and Lu Xun, and continued on the journey.

In mid-February, Zhao Lei drove all the way east, preparing to go to the last destination of the trip, Qu'a Port.

Qu'a Port is an important port established by Jiangdong. It can directly lead to Guangling Port in Xuzhou by crossing the Yangtze River through Qu'a Port.

On February [-]th, after a long-distance raid, Zhao Lei and others finally arrived at Qu'a Port.

Qu'a Port belongs to Wu County, and the prefect of Wu County is Lu Kang, but such an important port as Qu'a Port is not under his jurisdiction, but Lu Su and Gao Lan, who were sent by Zhao Lei to handle Wu County's affairs, are in charge.And the guard of Qu'a Port is Gao Lan.

Although Qu'a Port is called a port, it is actually composed of only a few villages. There are only more than 700 households in the whole port, and the population is only over 2000. Moreover, Qu'a Port is close to the coast. Except for a huge wharf, and a decent There is nothing else but the official government.

On the official road, Gao Lan waited there with two or three men. He was very happy to hear that Zhao Lei took Zhang Han and others out for a tour, and that the final destination was Qu'a Port.In the past few days, he would sit on the official road and wait for several hours almost every day, because he couldn't predict the time of Zhao Lei's arrival, so he couldn't miss it and could only wait bitterly.

Today, under the scorching sun overhead, Gao Lan and three of his men sat on a stone in the shade by the official road, waiting patiently.Not long after, Gao Lan heard the neighing of a horse, and a trace of joy appeared on his face. He immediately jumped to the middle of the official road, looked intently, and saw a carriage slowly approaching, and beside the carriage were still Followed by a black and beautiful horse.He recognized the horse, it was Zhao Yun's absolute shadow.

"Here, the lord is here, come and pay your respects to the lord!" Gao Lan shouted at his subordinates behind him.

The four of them stood in the middle of the official road together, watching the carriage drive towards them bit by bit.

"My lord, it seems to be General Gao Lan!" Wang Yue, who was driving the carriage, saw the people on the official road from afar, and said to Zhao Lei in the carriage.

Zhao Lei gave a "hmm" and said, "Stop in front of them, I'm going down later."

"No!" Wang Yue said.

After a while, the carriage stopped firmly, Zhao Lei opened the roller blind of the carriage, and jumped out of the carriage.

"My subordinates see the lord!" Gao Lan said.

Zhao Lei said: "Excuse me, Gao Lan, I kept you waiting for a long time. I was supposed to arrive a few days ago, but there was heavy rain on the road, and the roads in Lukou County were muddy, making it difficult to walk, so I rested at a nearby folk house for a few days. Let You must be tired after waiting for so long, right?"

"The subordinates are not tired. My lord, the government office in Qu'a Port has been arranged. Please follow the subordinates back to the government house!" Gao Lan said with a smile.

Zhao Lei nodded, and called Cai Yan and Zhang Han down together, and they walked back to the government together.

The official residence of Qu'a Port is not far from the sea, less than three miles away. There used to be a small Qu'a County here, but that year a wave broke down the county's earthen walls and drowned many people. Since then The population of Qua Port has plummeted.

In the dilapidated Qu'e County, there are fishermen who have lived here for generations. Most of them are not at home during the day and go fishing in the sea.Therefore, at this moment, the county looks deserted.

The government office is not bad, at least in Qu'e County it is relatively luxurious.The one-story house made of bricks and tiles is square and has three floors.

After entering the official residence, someone had already served the cooked fish, which was the authentic Songjiang four-gill perch that even Cao Cao coveted, for Zhao Lei, Cai Yan, Zhang Han, and Zhao Yun to taste.During the meal, Zhao Lei and Gao Lan chatted a few words about the situation in Qu'a Port and the people's sentiments.It is known that most of the [-] soldiers he brought with him went fishing with the local people.

After dinner, Zhao Lei sent Cai Yan back to his room to rest, but he went to the beach with his two brothers and Gao Lan. He hadn’t seen the sea for a long time. In the past, Zhao Lei would go to Jinshan Beach in Shanghai whenever he had time. Now this song Agang is the Jinshan Beach after 2000.So Zhao Lei wanted to enjoy the sea breeze again to get back this feeling.

Everyone rode on horses. Under the leadership of Gao Lan, Zhao Lei and his party came to the beach. When they saw the blue sea and light yellow sand, Zhao Lei was very happy.

Suddenly, Zhao Lei pointed to a big boat over there, and seeing many people getting off the boat, he asked Gao Lan, "These don't seem to be fishermen here, where do they come from?"

"Oh, they came from Xuzhou. I heard that Xuzhou was being attacked by Cao Cao at the moment. It was because Tao Qian killed Cao Cao's father. Cao Cao wanted to massacre Xuzhou, so some people from Xuzhou crossed the sea to take refuge here."

Zhao Lei said "oh", he knew this history, so he didn't ask Gao Lan any more.So Zhao Lei fixed his eyes on the group of people who had just disembarked, but saw that many of those people were wearing robes. He is very sensitive to people wearing robes now. Most of the people wearing robes are scholars. There is a lack of scholars who can govern internal affairs.With a joy on his face, he said to Gao Lan, "Man, let Zilong go, let's go and have a look!"

After walking forward for a while, Zhao Lei saw that the group of scholars were lying limply on the beach, and some of them were still vomiting. It seemed that many of them were seasick.He immediately walked towards a group of people wearing long robes, respectfully bowed to the group of people: "I am the governor of Yangzhou, Zhao Lei, and I have met you gentlemen."

All the scholars were taken aback, and there was a hint of surprise on their pale faces. They never expected that the biggest official in Yangzhou would appear in front of them as soon as they set foot on the land of Yangzhou, as if they had been waiting here for a long time.

All the people were shocked. In this brief moment, a handsome middle-aged elder stood up, cupped his hands towards Zhao Lei and said, "My next Zhang Zhao, I have met the prefect Gao!"

Hearing that it was Zhang Zhao, the expression on Zhao Lei's face suddenly twitched, and his mood was particularly complicated. Looking at Zhang Zhao in front of him, Zhao Lei felt like he had nowhere to go, and it didn't take much effort.He smiled stiffly, cupped his hands to Zhang Zhao, and said, "I have admired Mr. Zhang's name for a long time, and I once sent someone to Xuzhou to look for him. I don't want Mr. to avoid chaos and come to Yangzhou. I am really lucky." Zhao Lei's lie , it was all for the purpose of coaxing Zhang Zhao. By saying that, he could show his sincerity.

Zhang Zhao has a thin face, a protruding forehead, a pointed nose, big and deep eyes, a goat's beard hanging on his chin, and a quiet smile that brightens his face. And show his self-confidence and intelligence.After hearing Zhao Lei's words, he was slightly taken aback, and thought to himself, "Is this God's will? The governor seems to have known that I would come here."

"Mr. came from a long way. The government is not far from here. Please come to the government to rest." Although Zhao Lei wanted to let Zhang Zhao work for him, seeing that Zhang Zhao was physically and mentally exhausted, he wanted to invite Zhang Zhao into the government. Others Let's talk about it later.

Zhang Zhao saw that Zhao Lei was very polite, and he had also heard about Zhao Lei's leveling Yangzhou, his strength was extremely terrifying.In addition, he had visited him before, so he had a somewhat favorable impression of Zhao Lei.He looked back at the people accompanying him, they were all physically and mentally exhausted from the boat ride, so he didn't refuse immediately, cupped his hands and said: "Since Lord Inspector insists on inviting, then I'd rather be respectful than obedient."

Zhao Lei was very happy, and immediately turned to Gao Lan who was beside him and said: "Gao Lan, you have taken people to guard the seaside these few days, and set up a tea shop by the seaside. Anyone who crosses the river from Xuzhou will be taken care of." it is good."

Gao Lan cupped his hands and said, "No!"

After the words fell, Zhao Lei made a "please" gesture, and led Zhang Zhao and other people to Qu'e County.When they arrived in the county, Zhao Lei ordered someone to arrange a room for Zhang Zhao, and let the other scholars also get the rooms they deserved. He also asked people to serve tea, so that Zhang Zhao and others got the rest they deserved.

Later in the evening, people who went fishing came back one after another. Zhao Lei asked Gao Lan to camp outside and build barracks around. He had a premonition that more and more people would come to Yangzhou from Xuzhou to avoid chaos.Since Zhang Zhao came to Yangzhou, there should be another one of the two.

After nightfall, Zhang Zhao and others basically recovered after resting for most of the day, their complexions also looked normal, and the signs of seasickness also improved.In the official hall, Zhao Lei had already ordered some simple food to be arranged, divided according to the single table and single seat that literati are used to, to entertain them.

Zhang Zhao walked out of the room with his wife and children. When he came to the hall, he couldn't help feeling relieved when he saw the food that had been prepared.Since he resigned in Xuzhou, he has been living in his hometown of Pengcheng. Later, Pengcheng was attacked by Cao Cao, and his family moved to Guangling in Xuzhou, hoping to escape for some time.However, after only a few months in Guangling, Cao Cao came to Guangling again. He had to take more than [-] members of his clan to cross the sea to the south, and wanted to take refuge in Yangzhou for a while. Back to Xuzhou.
