Dongqing has a total of six prefectures and 21 counties, and the territory spans the north and south, and the rules for dividing the prefectures and counties are mostly based on the previous dynasty rather than according to population or land area. This also leads to the fact that although Hu County, Zhejiang County, and Hu County are counties, the area of the three is not small, and Hu County is comparable to the smallest state in Dongqing. In addition to these three special counties, such as Hejian County, Langya County and Huan Yu County are also independent counties.

However, the latter three are decent in size, and apart from their special military position, they are no different from ordinary counties.

Langya County has been placed under the rule of Huang Song, and Huan Yu County is located in the south, and it was previously subordinated to Xu Pei.

Since Jiang Pengji killed Xu Pei, although she did not use strong troops against Huan Yu County, the local scholars knew each other very well, but they did not dare to make trouble. It's useless for them to make trouble, Huan Yu County is attached to the high mountains and mountains, although it is a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, its own grain output is not much, Jiang Pengji sent troops to strangle all the grain and business routes in Huan Yu County, and the evil can starve tens of thousands of people in Huan Yu County to death.

The family of Huan Yujun gathered, and they saw that Jiang Pengji was really not easy to mess with, but they did not commit crimes against the wind and her toughness, but chose to be soft.

Among the three counties, only Hejian County is still "ownerless".

It's not that Hejian County doesn't want to take refuge with any prince, it's just that the terrain of Hejian County is a little awkward.

It is located in the pulse arteries of the three states of Maruzhou, Haozhou and Cangzhou, and has an important position that can be attacked, retreated and defended.

Before spring ploughing, neither Jiang Pengji nor Huang Song dared to move troops in Hejian County first.

Once the army is mobilized, it will be a big war, and if the spring ploughing is destroyed, it will not only damage the interests of the two princes, but also the people under their rule.

The war can be fought at any time, but the people will farm just like that, and if they miss the opportunity, they will starve for a whole year.

In addition, Hejian County has another meaning for Jiang Pengji.

The people of the Liu clan are all in Hejian County!

The bad news that Jiang Pengji received was nothing else, it was Hejian County that was raided by Huang Song's army and quietly changed hands in the middle of the night.

When this bad news reached Jiang Pengji's ears, she was rejoicing in the progress of the spinning wheel and cotton, as if someone had poured cold water on her.

People who are familiar with Jiang Pengji are a little afraid to look at her expression at this time.

"How could Riverland be lost?"

After the battle of Xu Pei ended, Jiang Pengji and Huang Song tacitly agreed to send troops to guard the north and south borders of Hejian County, and no one would let anyone, and the two maintained a delicate balance. No one dared to make the first move, so they could only send a large number of scouts to probe the enemy's situation, and they must control the military situation as soon as possible.

In this case, Jiang Pengji didn't know what the guards were doing to eat.

Huang Song sent troops to eat the entire Hejian County, and the guards reacted slowly, and the daylily was cold!

If she hadn't been given a convincing enough reason, she would have to be punished for the sins of the generals.

Don't look at Jiang Pengji, who is very easy to get along with on weekdays, once she gets angry, how can that power be withstood by a messenger soldier?

Without saying a word, he shook out all the ins and outs of the future.

After finishing speaking, the messenger soldier trembled and knelt down to plead guilty, and the atmosphere at the scene was extremely solemn.

Qi Guanrang, Wei Ci and the others quietly glanced at their own lord with their spare eyes.

They were already mentally prepared for their lord to flip the table, scold people, and greet Huang Song's ancestors.

No matter how gaffe they are, they can also suppress the matter.

It is expected that Jiang Pengji's cultivation is excellent, except that her face is a little gloomy and she has no excessive emotions.

"What a Hejian Zhang clan-" Jiang Pengji smiled coldly, her eyes flashing with murderous intent, "They were really cheap back then." ”

The main reason for the loss of Hejian County was that the Zhang clan of Hejian County took the lead in responding to the lobbying of Huang Song's talents, and secretly colluded with several scholars to control the situation in the county. Later, in the middle of the night on March 24, they joined forces with Huang Song's garrison, and on the one hand, they took down the Hejian Liu clan, Shangguan clan and other scholars who were friendly to Jiang Pengji's forces, and on the other hand, they welcomed Huang Song's army into the city, and made Hejian County change hands in less than half the night.

When everyone heard Jiang Pengji say this, they were stunned for a moment, and they didn't know when their father-in-law had a disagreement with the Zhang family.

Before others could react, Li Yun felt that the Zhang family in Hejian was very familiar.

After thinking about it carefully, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he finally thought of when he would make a feud.

"This Zhang's ...... It sounds familiar. Could it be the Zhang family who forced Jing to be a widow and almost killed her?" Li Yun remembered that this Zhang family was the ex-husband family of his wife Shangguan Wan, "After the grudge was formed back then, could it be that they still hold a grudge? Huang Song knew about this, so he used this as a breakthrough to send people to persuade the Zhang family to defect? Thinking about it this way, it is not unreasonable. ”

As soon as Li Yun spoke, everyone focused on him again.

After he said this, many people also had some memories and followed the clues to dig out this old story.

"Mostly because of that. Jiang Pengji pursed her lips secretly and said with an angry smile, "I should have killed this clan back then!"

Qi Guanrang and Wei Ci coughed tacitly, reminding Jiang Pengji to pay attention to her words and deeds, and not to be so violent.

If you can't cut people at every turn, you will be blackened into a ghost by the enemy navy when you say it!

No matter what the situation was back then, it was an indisputable fact that Jiang Pengji took in the young lady who escaped from the Zhang family, and then gave the young lady Shangguan Wan and the military general Li Yun under her account to protect the media. From Zhang's point of view, this green hat is so green that it drips oil, and the grassland on his head can run horses!

Although the Zhang family does not have ironclad evidence that Jiang Pengji stole Guanwan away, Shangguanwan's remarriage to Li Yun is something that the whole world knows.

From this standpoint, Zhang and Jiang Pengji have a natural opposing position.

Rather than watching Hejian County fall into the hands of Jiang Pengji and survive under her tyranny in the future, it is better to support Huang Song.

There's nothing wrong with this logic.

"Even so, if no one secretly planned and promoted, presumably the Zhang family would not have been able to do it so thoroughly. ”

Yang Si looked at Li Yun with a little pity in his eyes.

Sure enough, it's still good to be single.

Shangguan Wan is also a victim, but if Li Yun meets an unreasonable lord, he will be angry at this time.

Jiang Pengji asked the messenger.

"Do you know who the lobbyist is?"

The messenger said, "According to the secret agent's return, it was a certain strategist surnamed Cheng under Huang Song's account. ”

According to the information from the secret agent, before the fall of Hejian County, there was indeed a man in ordinary clothes but good looks who entered and left Zhang's mansion.

Journey?

Huang Song's adviser under the tent, the surname Cheng is just that, right?

Everyone tacitly fell on Cheng Yuan.

Cheng Yuan's father Cheng Cheng is Cheng Jing's nephew, and Cheng Yuan is Cheng Jing's nephew.

The age difference is not much, but this generation is very impressive.

Jiang Pengji said disdainfully, "If it's Youmo, it's not unusual." Zhang's family is still half-dead after many years, and his brain is not very good, so he is very confused. ”

This grievance can only be regarded as a catalyst, and the person sent by Huang Song, the lobbyist Cheng Jing, is the most important thing.

Because of Cheng Jing's lobbying, Zhang's heart, which was already a little ACD, inflated more and more, and he thought too highly of himself.
