Chapter 325
That night, Zhao Lei held a big banquet in the Governor's Mansion, inviting Jia Xu, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Zhang Han, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Ju Shou, Zhou Yu, etc. to attend, and officially appointed Zhang Zhao as the chief secretary and Zhang Hong as the counselor. The doctor, together with Jia Xu and Ju Shou, was in charge of the government affairs of Yangzhou.

After the banquet, Zhao Lei found Ling Tong, asked Ling Tong about Shanyue's situation, and had a general understanding of Shanyue. The distribution of troops in Yamagoshi is indicated.In addition, Zhao Lei also thanked Xiao Qiao.

As for the matter of Dongyue and Xiyue, Xiao Qiao actually knew something about it.It's just that Dongyue has always been not very friendly to the Central Plains people, while Xiyue often has some business contacts with the Han people.Qiao Xuan was also doing business with people from Xiyue at that time, so Xiao Qiao didn't dare to go to Dongyue as an envoy.

Zhao Lei didn't blame Xiao Qiao for his appearance, after all, it was already a rare thing for a girl to represent him on a mission, and Xiao Qiao negotiated very well with Xiyue this time, and accomplished the mission Zhao Lei gave him brilliantly.

But having said that, Dongyue's more than [-] troops suddenly appeared in this place of Kuaiji, clearly wanting to provoke Zhao Lei.That being the case, how could the governor of Yangzhou be so humiliated by such a foreign country?

When Zhao Lei asked the counselors for advice, Zhang Han said: "Brother, I suggest that we first send troops to Fuchun County to reinforce Guo Jia. When we get there, we will first check the enemy's movements and make plans."

Zhao Lei felt that Zhang Han's words made sense, so he immediately ordered: "Okay, just act according to the man's words."

Three days later, Zhao Lei was fully clothed. With Zhao Yun and Ma Chao as the vanguard, Zhang Han, Jia Xu, and Zhou Yu as the military advisers, and Li Tong, Wen Pin, and Le Jin as the school lieutenants, he led [-] Yangzhou troops to Fuchun County, preparing to attack the east. The more provocations made, the more they fought back.He left Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong to jointly manage the government affairs of Moling, and asked Zhang Liao to lead the soldiers of Shijunying to guard Moling to ensure the stability of the rear.As for the matter of recruiting talents, he entrusted Jushou with full authority to handle it. He believed that Jushou's reputation in Yangzhou would definitely be able to handle this matter for him.

Although the army has been trained for almost three months, they have never experienced a formal battle. This time, Zhao Lei brought them out without hesitation, just to let them go through a real war, which can be regarded as a kind of tempering for this army. .This was the case with the Yangzhou Army in the past, and it is also the case with the new [-] Yangzhou Army.

As soon as the army left Moling for ten miles, Zhao Lei ordered the whole army to stop. He called Ma Chao from the former army and ordered, "Meng Qi, take a few people to Wu County, and ask Lu Kang, the prefect of Wu County, to send Lu Su And Gao Lan brought an army to support Fuchun."

"My lord, didn't we go to Fuchun just to investigate? Now my lord is looking for reinforcements again. Are you determined to fight with Shanyue?" Ma Chao asked.

"Don't be afraid of [-], just in case. The [-] infantry troops of Shanyue gathered in Kuaiji this time are probably just the vanguard, and there are probably more troops behind. Since they dared to appear in Kuaiji, it means that they are going to Yangzhou Action is inevitable. So I have to prepare. When we were in Moling, we explained this in front of Yangzhou civil and military officials. After all, Yangzhou people are still very afraid of the name Shanyue. In order to stabilize the hearts of Yangzhou, we You can only suppress the news."

"Yes! This subordinate understands. This subordinate will go to Wu County now." Ma Chao replied.

"Okay, let's separate!" Zhao Lei clapped his hands and shouted immediately.

Yamagoshi, it is necessary to introduce here.Shanyue is a nation sandwiched between Yangzhou and Poyang Lake. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it was a vassal state of the Han Dynasty. Like the Qiang, Dongyue, Xiongnu, Nanman and other ethnic minorities, Shanyue established administrative divisions.When delimiting borders according to a certain geographical range, the "customs of the country" generally remain unchanged.The border between Yangzhou and Jiaozhou should have been the seat of the Han Dynasty, but after the Shanyue people attached themselves to the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty ceded that area to the Shanyue people to live in.

A month later, when the Yangzhou Army arrived in Fuchun County, Zhao Lei first went into the city and chatted with Guo Jia for a while, waiting for news from the dead soldiers sent by Wang Yue.

Half an hour later, Ling Tong reported that 1 people in the vanguard of the East Vietnam Army were stationed in Shanyin County, Kuaiji County, and the specific movements were unknown.And behind Kuaiji County, there is a powerful army horse.It is estimated that there are no less than [-] of them.

"Eighty thousand? That much?" Zhao Lei exclaimed.

Ling Tong nodded, and said, "That's right, my lord, this number is just a preliminary detection by my subordinates, and it is estimated that the actual number of people will be more than what my subordinates estimated."

"Since there are so many people in Dongyue, it seems fortunate that Dongyue and Xiyue did not unite. Otherwise, we will really be in tragedy." Zhao Lei smiled wryly.

"Dongyue and Xiyue..." Zhang Han muttered to himself at this time.

"Man, what's the matter?" Zhao Lei asked.

"There are [-] enemy troops. It is impossible for us to fight them head-on. We can only use the city walls of Fuchun County to resist. But even so, I don't think the chance of winning is very great." Zhang Han worried.

"Zizhou is right. If we rely on our strength alone, we are not sure that we can defeat Dongyue." Jia Xu echoed Zhang Han's words and laughed.

After listening to Zhang Han and Jia Xu singing together, Zhao Lei immediately understood, and said with a smile: "I understand, do the two military advisers want me to join forces with Xiyue to deal with Dongyue?"

"Correct solution." Zhang Han said with a smile.

Zhao Lei nodded, he knew what to do next.

Zhao Lei, Zhang Han, and Zhao Yun rode horses. After crossing the Zhejiang River, the three of them rushed to the mountain and crossed the border. A month later, they arrived in Yanping, where Trama, the king of Dongyue, was located.

At this time, the relationship between Dongyue people and the Han Dynasty was relatively friendly. In addition, because Dongyue had just had business contacts with Yangzhou, Dongyue and the Han Dynasty still maintained a close relationship at this moment. It is the weight of Zhao Lei's coming.

As the sun set and the dusk fell, the three of Zhao Lei arrived at the foot of Yanping City. The gate of Yanping City was wide open. Although there were a few East Vietnamese soldiers stationed on the city tower, they didn't care, and there were still Han people coming and going in Yanping City.Zhao Lei didn't think too much, and rode his horse into the city, but no one stopped him.

After entering the city, he asked the Han people in the city and found out the location of King Telama's mansion, and then went straight to the palace.

The Wangfu is in the center of Yanping City. After years of Sinicization, the Dongyue people have gradually gotten used to some of the Han people’s way of life. Some tribes outside the city still set up dome huts. Everyone in the city lives in a house, and the Wangfu is also very luxury.

As soon as Zhao Lei jumped off his horse, he saw the Dongyue guards standing at the gate of the palace cast envious glances at him, sizing up Zhao Lei's outfit.

The three of Zhao Lei ignored it, tied the horses to the pillars outside the palace, and walked straight into the palace.

"Stop! Who are you looking for?" Seeing Zhao Lei approaching, the Dongyue guard immediately blocked his way with his body. His tall body was a head taller than Zhao Lei's, and he asked in fluent Chinese.

Zhao Lei immediately cupped his hands and said, "I am Zhao Lei, the governor of Yangzhou, and these two are my righteous brothers. Today I am here to visit your king."

The Dongyue guard immediately moved away, pointed to the door and said, "Inspector Zhao is polite, please go straight, turn left and walk to the end."

Zhao Lei smiled at the Dongyue guards, but he didn't expect the Dongyue people to be so kind.He was about to raise his legs and step into the door, but saw the guard stretched out his hand to block the way, and pointed to the saber in his waist.When he understood, he untied the Lightning Sword from his waist, and Zhao Yun also untied the Rainbow Sword, and threw it to one of the Dongyue guards, before striding into the palace.

According to the route told by the guards, Zhao Lei encountered no obstacles along the way. Although there were guards standing in the mansion, they just glanced at Zhao Lei lightly, without embarrassing him at all, as if they knew him.So, he quickly arrived at Telama's location. There was no guard at the door, and the door was wide open. There was only a naked man wielding a scimitar inside.

Zhao Lei walked to the door, clasped his fists and said, "I'm the governor of Yangzhou, Zhao Lei, I've met the king!"

Hearing Zhao Lei's yell, the man in the room stopped. With a big face, he turned and glanced at Zhao Lei who was standing at the door. He wiped the sweat off his face and threw the scimitar in his hand on the ground. , let out a crisp sound, walked straight to the first seat, and then shouted: "Master Zhao came to me from a long distance, it's hard work, please come in!"

Zhao Lei stepped into that room. There was only one seat under the buttocks of a Telama in the room, and the other places were empty.

"Master Zhao, you have come from thousands of miles away, what do you want from me?" Telama was not polite, straight to the point.

Zhao Lei looked at Telama who was sitting on the seat, and saw that he had a vigorous cut-cut, square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, mustache, and a thin face.The naked upper body is covered with sweat, and every muscle is just right. At first glance, it looks like a muscular man.The king of Dongyue had short hair, just like modern people.
