Chapter 32: Stability
"Pedantic, really pedantic!" Liu Jin sighed in his heart, but he looked helpless, he looked at Mushan's vigorous figure, and sighed: "It's a pity, such a powerful general, but can't take the door, if we have a strong enemy in the future, how to deal with it!" ”
He still underestimated Zhang Shi's weakness.
Zhang Shi was obviously frightened by this group of Yellow Turban cavalry.
He shouldn't think that he can't hold Wancheng, after all, there are more than 10,000 soldiers in the city, unless there are 100,000 troops outside the city, it is very difficult to attack Wancheng, he should be worried that there will be a large number of yellow turban thieves in Nanyang County, which will cause his position in the court to be unsafe, and even the position of Taishou cannot be kept.
Zhang Zhi said that it is good to listen to consider things comprehensively, measure the consequences and act, and if it is not good, it is weak in temperament, lack of courage to fight, and reluctant to give up his official position, if it is placed in a peaceful county government, it can be an official, but in Nanyang, the world's largest county, when he is too guarded, he seems incompetent.
This place in Nanyang is a place where the dragon rises, but also a place of four wars, if there is a war, the soldiers will fight, if there is no strong general, they will not be able to stand firm for a long time, they will be driven down.
"Lord Juncheng, why don't we cut it first and then play it, kill Mushan, it's a hundred!"
At this time, Changshi Tan Song came up and said in a low voice.
He didn't know much about Zhang Zhi and Liu Jin's plans, but the swords, axes, and archers arranged by Liu Jin were all arranged through him, and he naturally knew Zhang Shi and Liu Jin's plans.
Whether it is Zhang Zhi or Liu Jin, they are all outsiders to Nanyang, and in this era, the place is somewhat xenophobic, so they must win over local officials in order to gain a firm foothold.
The first thing they wooed was naturally Tan Song, although Tan Song was born in the Nanyang family, but after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Nanyang family has been sunk, and the influence of the Nanyang family that he lacks must rely on Zhang Zhi to stand firm.
Therefore, compared to Kuaifeng, who has the support of the Kuai family of Jingzhou, Huang Meng has the support of the Huang family, the first family of Jiangxia, and Ji Yi has the figure of the General's Mansion behind him, he can be regarded as weak, Zhang Zhi first appeased him, and it can be regarded as pulling a snake for himself.
"No!"
When Liu Jin heard this, he shook his head: "Since then, we just don't put Lord Fujun in our eyes, Lord Fujun will inevitably be jealous of us, this time it is self-defeating, and if we don't do it well, we will anger Lord Fujun!" ”
Since ancient times, what the superior is most afraid of is that the people below are doing it for themselves in the name of their own good.
Liu Jin, who is well versed in the art of power and strategy, naturally would not make such a local-level mistake.
So he can only watch your Zhang Zhi compromise.
After a round of martial arts competition, the name Zhang Chuan began to become famous in Nanyang.
Zhang Zhi set up a banquet, and on top of the banquet, he personally conferred the post for Zhang Chuan.
So it's not just Cai Tu who escaped.
Zhang Chuan, this unknown hunter, was appointed by the smooth Zhang Zhi as the lieutenant of Wuyin County, and he can be regarded as a soldier who can justifiably rule Wuyin County.
However, Liu Jin is not without a trick.
"My lord, after all, Wuyin is not in the control of adults, and now that the adults have appointed Zhang Chuan as the county lieutenant, then they should also send someone to keep an eye on him!" At the banquet, Liu Jin stepped forward with a wine cup and said in a low voice.
"What do you want to say?"
"After Zhu Zhan's death, the position of the county has been vacant!"
"Will Cai Tu agree?"
"The adult just compromised him, does he dare to save the face of the adult!"
"And who do you think is suitable?"
"How is Meng Wu?"
"Meng Wu?" Zhang Shi pondered for a moment.
"He is an official under the command of the Lord (almost an official position such as a strategist or a secretary), and he is also the son of the Meng family in the past, the Meng family was slaughtered when the Yellow Turban Army entered the city, he has an uncommon hatred for the Yellow Turban Army, he will definitely stare at Mushan if he goes to dance Yin!"
"Will it backfire?"
"My lord, Mushan must be guarded against, if the yellow scarf rises again, Nanyang will not be ruined, and the court will definitely blame the adults at that time!"
"That's a big deal!"
Zhang Shi trembled and immediately won.
County-level officials, he, the Taishou, can naturally be arranged, he can let all parties act filial piety and honesty, as long as the arrangement is made, the court can play.
……
Evening.
The sky is burning with clouds, and the sunset is shining.
The east gate of Wancheng.
The two horses were lying on Mushan and Cai Tu, and slowly walked towards the outside of the city.
"It's finally out, I thought I wouldn't be able to get out of this Wancheng today!" Cai Tu's heart was a little undecided, he knew that this time it was so hanging, and he almost fell to the ground.
"Cai County Order, do you know that there are at least more than 1,000 soldiers and horses in ambush inside and outside this Taishou Mansion, with knives and axes in hand, and bows and arrows, if Zhang Zhi is ruthless, we may not be able to get out!"
Mu Shan also broke out in a cold sweat, as a military general, he was too keen on murderous aura, and from the beginning of his stay in the Taishou Mansion, he felt that he was locked by a murderous aura.
This time, it's hanging.
Life and death are between Zhang Zhi's thoughts.
Fortunately, in the end, Zhang Zhi changed his mentality.
"Zhang Zhi is a little weak after all, regardless of talent, his temperament is far from that of Lord Qin Jie, he can't control Nanyang at all, if he is in Nanyang, Nanyang will change hands sooner or later, but it's a pity that our position in Wuyin County will be empty!" Cai Tu said in a deep voice: "He gave us face, his face, I can't help but give it, so he wants to recommend it, and I can bear it, it's just that what is the origin of this Meng Wu, I still don't know very well!" ”
He originally wanted to arrange for Li Yan to sit in this position, but he didn't expect to let Zhang Shi intervene, and he couldn't refute it, after all, he didn't dare to turn his face.
"Meng Wu? I remember, it was the official behind Zhang Shi, he looked at me with hatred, I guess it should be a person from the Nanyang family back then! Mushan said: "Only they would resent the Yellow Turban Army so much!" ”
At that time, the Nanyang family was very strong, but after being killed by their Yellow Turban Army for a round, there were basically some remnants left that were not successful.
"Looks like they've arranged to keep an eye on us!" Cai Tu said.
"Let him go, just one person, can't turn the wind and waves, I am in charge of the army, you are in power, as long as you and I work together, he can still fly in Wuyin!" Makiyama said in a cold voice.
"That's right!"
Cai Tu nodded: "Since he is here to Wuyin, he is under our noses, and the official is not afraid of him!" ”
The two rode horses and soon left Wancheng, and the small woods on the outskirts met Li Yan and Mu Jing.
"Daddy!" The moment Mu Jing saw Mu Shan appear, a big stone in his heart finally fell.
"Your Excellency!" Li Yan saw that the two of them came out fine, and he was relieved in his heart.
This level, they are over.
"Where's Lei Gong?" Mushan glanced around, his face was solemn, and asked.
"Dad, my uncle led the cavalry to go around in a circle, there might be chasing soldiers just now, so I asked him not to join us after he got out, and immediately went back to Wuyin, now they should return to Wuyin!"
"It's good not to go head-to-head!"
Mu Shan nodded: "Now I am the county lieutenant of Wuyin, and it is not suitable to compete with the soldiers and horses of the imperial court!" ”
……
It's dark.
In the light of the torches, more than 1,000 soldiers and horses marched in the wind and fire, heading back towards Wuyin County.
When they returned to Wuyin County, it was already nearly dawn.
But Mu Jing walked so many ways and didn't feel tired at all, after returning to Jingping Village, he was still very excited, after passing this level, it means that they don't need to fight to the death with the county soldiers, they are really settled in Wuyin County.
