Three days later, on May 28, Xun Yi, the governor of the western region, Shi Chenlang, the governor of the county guard, and several soldiers who were protecting along the way, arrived in Kunyang County on horseback.

When passing through the eastern section of the Beiru River, Xun Yi and Chen Lang saw the 'Beituntian' on the other side of the river, although at this time the spring ploughing has passed, and the more than 10,000 subordinate soldiers who were originally busy here have been transferred to other places, leaving only more than 1,000 stationed soldiers, but the vast farmland in the area of 'Beituntian' still attracted the attention of Xun Yi and Chen Lang.

Seeing the county flag with the word 'Kunyang' erected on the other side of the river in Tianyi from a distance, Chen Lang asked puzzledly: "Isn't this the county of Xiangcheng County?" Why are there Kunyang people cultivating wasteland here? ”

Xun Yi said quietly: "This was originally a barren tidal flat, and now Kunyang County has reclaimed it as a field, what's wrong?" ”

He knew very well in his heart that today's Xiangcheng and Runan counties are all looking at Kunyang, and what is the point of Kunyang crossing the border to reclaim a field.

Chen Lang didn't know the reason, and he didn't care much after listening to Xun Yi's explanation, but just snorted coldly in pure unhappiness: "My Xuchang is in danger, this Zhou Hu still has the heart to open up new fields, how can this be reasonable!" ”

This is nothing to find fault, Xun Yi frowned unhappily, but because Chen Lang is the long history of the county guard, he endured it and did not have a seizure.

Half an hour later, Xun Yi took Chen Lang and his party to the east gate of Kunyang.

At this time, Kunyang, although for some reason has not been lifted the 'wartime control', but the ban on the city gate has been lifted, but the garrison is still tight, just inside and outside the city, there are at least dozens of soldiers standing guard, and all of them are fully armored, compared with the regular army.

Seeing these soldiers, Chen Lang's face sank again, and he said slightly angrily: "There are such majestic soldiers in Kunyang, and Zhou Hu has repeatedly shirked the rescue, I am afraid that he is a person with bad intentions." ”

“……”

Xun Yi glanced at Chen Lang a few times, and persuaded him: "Chen Changshi, Kunyang has Kunyang's difficulties, Xun has already explained this matter in front of the county guard, and I don't want to say more." Out of good intentions, I remind Chen Changshi, when you see that Zhou Leader later, you must not provoke him...... You also know that the leader of Zhou has gone astray, although he has now abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, there may still be some gangsterism in his body, if he annoys him, I am afraid that Chen Changshi ......"

Hearing this, Chen Lang showed a little stunned on his face, and said unhappily: "I am the county envoy, and Hu An dared to disadvantage me that week?!" ”

“……”

The county guards at the gate of the city looked at Chen Lang one after another, with a little unkindness in their expressions, and watched coldly as the county envoy walked into the city.

"This guy is going to be unlucky......

Looking at Chen Lang who was walking away, Xun Yi shook his head slightly.

Looking at Chen Lang, he seemed to see himself at the beginning - he didn't take that Zhou Hu in his eyes at all back then, until he suffered a big loss......

"Ahem."

Feeling some burning on his face, Xun Yi coughed and entered the city with his accompanying soldiers.

Under the leadership of Xun Yi, the group came to the outside of the county office.

At this time, outside the county office, there were also several county guards, seeing this, Chen Lang stepped forward and asked with a bit of grandeur: "Zhou Hu can be in the ya?" Tell him to come out and meet him. ”

The county guards looked Chen Lang up and down a few times, and asked coldly, "Who are you?" The county government is heavy, and idle people are not allowed to approach! ”

Chen Lang immediately reprimanded: "Open your eyes and take a good look, I am a messenger sent by Li Junshou!" ”

As the so-called county officials are not as good as the current management, these county officials may not know what Li County Shou is, no, their expressions did not change at all after hearing this.

Xun Yi shook his head, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "How many, do you recognize Xun?" ”

"Xun Du Post?" One of the county officials recognized Xun Yi and said to several companions: "This is Xun Dujiao, the distinguished guest of the leader of Zhou. ”

After that, he said to Xun Yi with a smile: "When will Xun Du Post come back to my Kunyang?" ”

Xun Yi smiled and said, "I just arrived...... Is the leader of Zhou in the yamen? ”

The county magistrate smiled and said, "It's not a coincidence that you came, Chief Zhou went to inspect the newly built workshop in the city. ”

"Are Liu Gong and Li Xiancheng here?" Xun Yi asked again.

The county pawn smiled bitterly and said, "Duke Liu has condoled with the family of the deceased county pawn, while Li Xiancheng went to Tuntian outside the city to inspect ......"

Xun Yi thought for a moment and said, "In that case, can I wait in Chief Zhou's room first?" By the way, please help me report it? ”

"Of course. The leader of Zhou once instructed that Xun Duyou did not need to report it. ”

As he spoke, the county magistrate raised his hand and made a gesture of please.

I have to say that this treatment made Xun Yi feel more face-saving, he turned to Chen Lang and said, "Chen Changshi, let's wait for the advanced government." ”

Chen Lang frowned, but finally followed Xun Yi to Zhao Yu's room.

About half an hour later, Zhao Yu returned to the county government with Jingnu, He Shun and several black tiger thieves, and saw Xun Yi and Chen Lang in his room.

When he saw Xun Yi, Zhao Yu said apologetically: "The workshop in the city has restarted, and Zhou went to inspect it, so that Xun Du Post has been waiting for a long time." ”

"Where, where."

Xun Yi smiled and waved his hand, and immediately introduced Chen Lang, who looked cold on the side, and said, "This is Chen Lang and Chen Changshi." ”

He was afraid that the Zhou leader in front of him would not know the official position of the 'long history', so he added in a popular way: "It is the subordinate official of the Li County Guard, and the chief of the officials of the County Guard's Mansion." ”

"It turned out to be Chen Changshi." Zhao Yu smiled and hugged his fist at Chen Lang.

"Hmm." Chen Lang nodded arrogantly, and arched his hand perfunctorily as a return gift.

It's no wonder, after all, the 'county warden history' is a big official position, but it is the chief of the civil officials of the county government, excluding the county guard, the county guard, and the captain, it is almost the highest official position of the county guard, at least much higher than Xun Yi, the superintendent of the post, so it is not surprising that this Chen Lang has a proud face.

Zhao Yu naturally would not be unhappy because of Chen Lang's arrogance, he smiled and invited Xun Yi and Chen Lang to sit down, and immediately said to Xun Yi: "What kind of wind blew the post supervisor here today?" ”

However, Xun Yi didn't have the heart to joke, and sighed: "What else can it be besides the evil wind blown by the rebels?" ”

Saying that, he did not hide his intentions, and told Zhao Yu about the current situation that Xuchang was facing.

"Li Meng is going back to Henan?"

Zhao Yu was very surprised when he heard this.

Recently, he has been paying attention to Xuchang, and of course he knows that Li Meng, the Henan Governor of the garrison in Changshe.

In his opinion, Li Meng is a more capable Jin general on the current Yingchuan side, at least he can block Xiang Xuan, and he is much better than Cao Suo, the commander of Yingchuan County.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is precisely because of Li Meng's support that the rebels of Xiang Xuan, Yan Xu, Zhong Fei, and Zhou Gong have been unable to form a complete encirclement of Xuchang for a long time.

"yes."

Xun Yi said worriedly: "The rebel general Xiang Xuan sent several small-scale partial divisions to attack Henan, and Henan County sent troops to encircle and suppress it many times, but it was broken by it, and he had to recall Li Meng......

He glanced at Zhao Yu and said hesitantly: "Once Li Duwei retreats to Henan, Xiang Xuan will inevitably take advantage of the situation to take Changshe, and when the time comes, Xuchang will be completely surrounded by rebels......

"Hmm......"

Zhao Yu crossed his hands on his lower abdomen and fell into deep thought.

I have to say that whether to rescue Xuchang or not is a dilemma for him.

If he saves Xuchang, he may be able to win the favor of Li Min, the county guard, and expand his strength, which will help him 'temporarily infiltrate the Jin Kingdom', but correspondingly, Xiang Xuan, Yan Xu, Zhong Fei, and Zhou Gong's rebel army will inevitably lose their strength because of his disturbances, and they will be forced to postpone the strategic goal of their righteous division of 'gathering troops in Liangcheng' - the problem here is that Zhao Yu wants to see the rebels capture Liangcheng, because he wants to try to catch the 'Liangcheng Commander Tong Yan' in troubled waters.

In short, rescuing Xuchang is equivalent to saving Liang Cheng in disguise, making Zhao Yu's plan of 'fishing in troubled waters' difficult to implement.

But if you don't save Xuchang, it will be tantamount to giving up an opportunity to befriend Li Min and add an official to the knighthood.

Moreover, after that Xuan captured Xuchang, it was unknown whether he would turn back and attack his Kunyang three counties, and Zhao Yu would have to take a certain risk - he would not believe too much in Guan Shuo's promise.

Seeing that Zhao Yu hadn't made a decision for a long time, Xun Yi was still calm, but Chen Lang couldn't help it, he reprimanded with an unswerving face: "Zhou Hu, the county guard treats you well, not only exempts you from your old crimes, but also promotes you to the captain of the department, now Xuchang is in danger, Li Jun is helpless, but you turn a blind eye, you are simply ungrateful!" ”

『……』

Zhao Yu, who was interrupted from his thoughts, raised his head, and after glancing at Chen Lang, who was excited, he turned his head to look at Xun Yi with a little confusion in his eyes. - That Li Junshou sent such a person to ask for help?

Xun Yi seemed to understand the confused gaze of the Zhou leader in front of him, and spread his hands helplessly.

He coughed and persuaded Chen Lang: "Chen Changshi is angry, Captain Zhou is by no means ungrateful, but he has to consider Kunyang's casualties...... Last year, Lieutenant Zhou defeated tens of thousands of rebel troops! ”

He kindly reminded Chen Lang to round the field for Chen Lang, but unfortunately, Chen Lang did not appreciate it at all, and said in a deep voice in an indifferent tone: "Xun Duyou, you and I came today, not to listen to Kunyang's suffering, but to move rescue troops to relieve the siege of Xuchang!" …… You are an official in the county, not an official in Kunyang, let alone an official under this Zhou leader! Why cover up everywhere? ”

“……”

Xun Yi was depressed when he heard this, so he simply ignored Chen Lang anymore.

Seeing this, Chen Lang faced Zhao Yu and said in a condescending tone: "Zhou Hu, I don't want to hear any justification from you, I just need you to immediately gather the army and go to support Xuchang, if you disobey the order, I will remove you from the post of commander and take you down for punishment!" ”

"Hey."

He Shun couldn't help laughing, and it wasn't until Zhao Yu turned his head to look at him that he put away his smile curtly.

No wonder he thought it was funny, because at this moment, even Xun Yi was sighing and shaking his head.

may have been angered by He Shun's chuckle, and Chen Lang was even more indignant, and angrily reprimanded: "Zhou Hu, do you want to disobey orders?" ”

Facing Chen Lang's angry rebuke, Zhao Yu's heart did not fluctuate.

He knows that there are such people in this world, their eyes are above the top, and their eyes are empty, and to deal with these guys who don't know the height of the sky, they just need to hang them up and beat them up and tell them to learn to be obedient.

Can't learn well?

Then fight again, and fight until you learn to be obedient.

Compared with anger, Zhao Yu was more concerned about whether to rescue Xuchang.

Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind.
