Chapter 1525: Conquest of the Empire (21)

What's even more outrageous is that the position of Overseer, which has disappeared for hundreds of years, is once again issued, and it is the Overseer of two provinces at the same time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although it is now the era of warlord secession, and the title is not particularly important, the overseers of these two provinces are still a very shocking position!

However, I don't know if Zhao Hu intended to cooperate or what, after the news spread, just when everyone was still suspicious, Zhao Hu quickly changed into the general's uniform that was urgently prepared, and naturally hung the shiny rank of major general on his shoulder.

At the same time, the military flag with the name of Colonel Zhao Hu originally flying high in the mansion was also replaced with a regimental flag with the number "Imperial Twentieth Legion" written on it.

For the first time, a plaque was hung outside the mansion, and the three golden characters of "Overseer's Mansion" were enough for anyone who could read to understand the identity of the owner of the mansion at a glance.

As soon as these three things came out, the people in Zhao Hujun's territory immediately understood that the news turned out to be true.

Almost instantly, all the people in the status of the three people cheered, Lord Zhao Hu became an overseer, so wouldn't his subordinates of the overseer also go to the next level!

As a result, under the leadership of the local Shangmin Wen samurai, they began to celebrate, and the lower three people, who had received the benefits of the celebration, couldn't help but cheer.

They began to hope that after the Overseer expanded his territory, they would be able to break away from the identity of the lower three peoples, especially since most of the members were slaves from the military, and they were looking forward to a new round of military recruitment.

Unlike the happy scene under Zhao Hu's rule, the surrounding warlords were all taken aback.

However, they just panicked for a while, and then it was nothing, as one of the warlords said, "What about the Overseers?" Lao Tzu and I still pretend to be the generalissimo, I want Lao Tzu to obey orders, okay, as long as I can destroy Lao Tzu's army and rob Lao Tzu's territory, whatever Lao Tzu is, it is definitely more grandson than grandson!

But if you can't, then don't put on any Overseer pretensions! Do you really think it's the time when the empire was strong? It's the age of warlordism! As long as there are soldiers, then there is nothing! Who's afraid of whom!

"If Zhao Hu dares to come, one can't beat it, won't two go up, two can't beat it, can we all join forces and can't beat it?"

After these words came out, the warlords immediately returned to their old arrogant demeanor, that's right, now is the era of warlords, and a soldier is a king! What about you, the Overseer? If you can't kill me, I'll treat you as if you haven't arrived!

If you Zhao Hu dare to provoke my territory, I will immediately unite all the warlords to destroy you, the Overseer!

Of course, Zhao Hujun is still full of combat effectiveness, and if everyone is safe, I will not provoke Zhao Hu. I'm a Sven after all.

So in such a state of mind, the warlords sang and danced, and when they had nothing to do, they searched the people's cream, pulled the strong men, and robbed the beauties. If you are bored, you can learn from the surrounding warlords, and if you win, you will earn some land, and if you lose, you will lose some land, as long as you don't hurt your muscles and bones.

As for that Overseer? Just if there was a warlord in the Seaside Province who called himself Overseer.

While the warlords think so, the people below don't.

Although ordinary people listen to whoever is powerful, in any case, their ancestors have lived under the rule of the empire for nearly a thousand years, and although the authority of the empire is somewhat weakened today, it still exists in their hearts.

After confirming the truth of the news that Zhao Hu was appointed as the overseer of the imperial capital, the people vaguely believed that Zhao Hu was the head of this province, and those warlords were rebels who did not obey this leader.

This is true of all people, and of course even more so of the great sages who are so learned, morally noble, or loyal to the empire that they are unwilling to serve the warlords of the rebellious thieves, and thus hide in the mountains.

When most of these great sages received the news, they had the idea of going down the mountain to help the Overseers restore stability to the province.

Of course, there were only one or two great sages who immediately went to Zhao Hu to take refuge, and most of the rest were waiting and watching. Some are afraid that Zhao Hu is actually a warlord, and some are afraid that Zhao Hu will deceive, no matter what, most of the sages are still watching the limelight anyway.

The Governor's Mansion of the Maritime Province.

The young governor said eagerly: "Father, this Zhao Hu was actually appointed as the overseer of the two provinces of Haihai and Binhaiquan, so he still wants your governorship?" ”

The Governor shook his head slowly and said, "Of course not, if you really want it, my Governor is not as big as his Overseer."

"Hehe, I didn't expect the imperial capital to give such a reward. It's just that if Zhao Hu is favored by the heavens, he really occupies the two provinces, and uses this to oppose the guest, I don't know if the imperial capital will regret this decision? ”

"Alas, my father also thinks too highly of Zhao Hu, right? Anti-guest to the imperial capital? It's simply not possible. The young governor thought helplessly.

Although he had other thoughts in his heart, the young governor asked with a worried voice: "Father, now that the fleet has been moored at the dock, shall we leave as planned or what?" ”

"Cancel the plan to contact Zhao Hu, and the rest will act as planned." The Governor patted the handrail and said.

"Well, then your governorship ......," said the young governor hesitantly.

"Heh, this position is just my own, it's time to let it disappear." The Governor smiled.

The young governor sighed and lowered his head to show that he understood.

A few days later, the Governor, escorted by his own guards, took his family to the suburbs for a walk, and it was admired that the Governor went to inspect the vault for a while before leaving the city in a slow manner.

However, this distraction did not see a single person come back until dark, and the officials of the provincial capital sent people to investigate but to no avail, and when they found the governor's palace, they were shocked to find that only the subordinates in the entire governor's palace actually existed.

Not to mention the Governor's family, even the stewards who were a little closer to the Governor have disappeared.

And after everyone turned the Governor's Mansion upside down in disregard of etiquette, they were very disappointed to find that in addition to the existence of furniture, clothes and other household items, only a few copper plates left in the corners were found, and nothing else of value was gone.

And some clever officials immediately ran to the vault, opened it and looked at it, and they couldn't help but grit their teeth and curse the heavens and the earth.

Because the entire vault was completely cleaned, not to mention the coins, there was not even a hair visible in the huge space!

The Governor ran away!

This was the first thought that popped into the minds of the people after they had found nothing, and the next thing that came to them was: Who will succeed the governor?

As soon as the second thought came out, the officials with a bit of status began to spin their brains wildly.

However, the plan could not keep up with the change, and just as they were about to gather their men and find an opponent, the docks suddenly received a letter from the governor to the whole world.

The content of this is very simple, that is, the governor believes that his position is self-inflicted, which is against the laws of the empire, and only because of the duty of defending the territory, he has to barely support it. Now that the imperial capital has appointed an overseer, he can finally relieve himself of the heavy responsibility of defending the land and return to his hometown to retire.

After some words of gold on his face, the Governor went on to say that as a courtier of the Empire, since he had let go of his responsibilities and retired, he should unconditionally hand over his army and territory to the Overseer.

Anyway, the latter means that the security problems on the original territory, the salary problems of the army under his command, and other messy things, don't look for him in the future, because he has quit doing it and has gone back to his hometown to retire.

If you want to find it, please go to the titular boss of the Haibin Province, Zhao Hu Overseer.

It is estimated that the governor had already made arrangements, and this document instantly spread throughout the docks, and then quickly throughout the seaside province, so that the provincial officials could not do anything to block the news.

After getting the news, everyone was stunned for a while, the original commander of the garrison division was really willing to go, and he actually said that he would leave, but what did he do with the army and territory to Zhao Hu?!

The warlords around the provincial capital jumped even more. Damn, I'm near the provincial capital, why don't you give it to me! Now I want to grab the territory and I'm afraid that other people will take the opportunity to attack from behind, so I knew it and was ready!

And the Governor's 100,000 soldiers and horses, after receiving the news, first fell silent in disbelief, and then those officers scolded them, thinking that the Governor was no longer worthy of allegiance, and actually abandoned their loyal subordinates for no reason!

Since you are not loyal to the Governor, then you naturally do not have to obey the Governor's final order, so let yourself obey yourself, you have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time!

Because of the loss of the Governor, the biggest leader, the ambitions of the officers and officials immediately burst out.

Almost instantaneously, the 100,000 Governors split into hundreds of warlord forces of different sizes on the spot, and these super small warlords immediately started a warlord annexation war.

In this way, the provincial capital, which had always been stable and prosperous, was immediately enveloped in the flames of war, and the surrounding warlords saw this scene, suppressed their impatience, stood aside and watched the excitement, and began to fantasize about the happy scene when they were fishermen.

When the news announced by the governor reached Zhao Hu's territory, the people and low-level officials were all overjoyed, but Zhao Hujun's top brass did not react.

"Lord, my subordinates always feel a little pity, knowing that the governor intends to leave behind the territory and army to become a rich man, as long as we send someone to receive it, the territory and soldiers can be expanded several times in an instant." Zhou Wen frowned and said.
