Zhang Ji thought for a moment and said, "Xia Guan wants to ask, how to take Xia Yang, and how to arrange it after that?"

"What, off topic? It's embarrassing and embarrassing......" Of course, this sentence was just silently recited in Tong Yuan's heart, but he didn't dare to say it.

Hu Lang'er saw Tong Yuan's ugliness on the side, and she was in a hurry. Hurriedly said.

"Isn't that simple? The county commander and the county lieutenant of the He family were arrested and killed, and a talented and virtuous person may not be Mr. Zhang. ”

Huang Yu felt very unhappy when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "You bird-bearded person, you don't know how to count etiquette. I think we ...... when we move mountains and mountains in Hedong."

Hu Lang'er said: "You white wave thief, you are very long-winded, and it is not a matter of digging graves......

The two of them saw that they were about to quarrel, and Zhang Jiting's face turned white, what kind of demons are these people.

"Uh-huh"

Tong Yuan hurriedly spoke out to stop the continued scourge of these two defeated generals.

"I think that if Xia Yang can survive this dispute smoothly, he must rely on Mr. Zhang's help, otherwise it will inevitably be a war, and in the end, the people will suffer."

Everyone listened attentively to Tong coming from afar.

"The most important thing now is how to solve the He family and the county order as soon as possible in Geng Junhou's military camp without affecting the county. The enemy forces are no match for our army and Geng's army, but more than a thousand armed minions can cause a lot of chaos. This is where Mr. Zhang's help comes in. We need to enter Xiayang County with the help of Mr. Zhang. ”

Zhang Ji replied decisively: "Forgive me." Since I am just a small official, I can do my best to quell the dispute in Xiayang, which does not mean that I have taken refuge in the Dong family and become an enemy of Chang'an. ”

After Zhang Ji finished speaking, the faces of everyone except Tong Yuan sank. Tong Yuanxin said, "It's bad, I didn't pass the test just now, and those two who didn't fight leaked the fox's tail again." But after thinking about it, this is right, if Zhang is a person who comes when called and is keen on fame and fortune, I am afraid he will not be famous in history.

What he didn't know was that in history, Zhang refused to enter the court as an official twice, and insisted on being a local official and county magistrate. Especially the second time he refused was Cao Cao, who was known as the prime minister and was known as the prime minister, and later because of the development of the situation and the protection of the people, he completely got on Cao Wei's chariot. Of course, Tong Yuan's remarks could not conquer Zhang Ji.

"It's okay, but to solve the current situation, you and I need to convince the people who were coerced by the He family. They were originally peasants or displaced people, but because the land was occupied by the He family, they had to be dependent. The Xiliang New Army decided to redistribute the land to them, and then handed it over to Mr. Zhang to govern the place. ”

When Zhang Ji heard this, he continued: "However, my prestige is definitely not enough, not enough to take on this important responsibility, although the county is willing to do business, but also loves this piece of land, and it is also the most suitable county to take over the county order." ”

A look of admiration flashed in Tong Yuan's eyes, Zhang was neither humble nor arrogant, neither succumbed to the authority of the Dong family, nor coveted the position, it was really not easy to accept. But then the situation changes, how will this famous person in history act, and what kind of light will burst out? Tong Yuan is looking forward to it.

The crowd also exchanged information about Xiayang's climate, population, land, commerce, etc., and Zhang was clear about these contents. The scenery here is pleasant, there is the summer palace of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Fuli Palace. The most lively is still the connection between Guanzhong, Hedong and Hetao Longmenjin, the local pottery, iron casting is relatively developed, through the business travel of all parties to and from Longmenjin, the reputation is spread far and wide.

Zhang Ji talks eloquently about the people's livelihood, and even the most numb people can feel Zhang Ji's ability and love for the people. The highly respected followers probably have to be the current Zhang Ji.

Tong Yuan is also very concerned about the recent military and political situation. Zhang Ji, as a member of Zuo Fengyi's county, naturally knows a lot.

"In addition to hearing that Wang Yun wantonly killed the border people, there is another matter, the celebrity Cai Yong is Dong...... Taishi sighed, he was recently killed by Wang Yun. ”

Tong Yuan knows how famous Cai Yong is, and he knows even more that his daughter will be famous in future generations. So he said: "Wang Yun has gone against the grain, and the day of our counteroffensive will not be long in coming." Cai Yong was killed by the king and thieves for Taishi Dong's fair words, and his descendants must be respected in the future, and his knowledge and books must be preserved. ”

Everyone felt the same way, denounced Wang Yun's methods, and felt sorry for Cai Yong, and Zhang Ji also sighed for the celebrities. In terms of practice, Zhang neither agrees with Dong Zhuo, but also does not agree with Wang Yun. In the end, out of the evil deeds of the He family in the county, he still helped Tong Yuan and others and introduced the situation in the county.

At present, the He family and the county commander led the main force of more than 1,000 people to surround the Geng Qing military camp, and a small number were stationed in the county seat and the port of Xiayang. Geng Qing's troops were stationed in Phoenix Ridge, but half of his subordinates were not descendants and had already been evacuated, so Geng Qing faced almost five to ten times as many enemies. However, the He family's subordinates bully the people very badly on weekdays, greedy for money, and seize land, and there are many complaints from all households in the county.

Tong Yuan finally suggested that Zhang Ji should temporarily manage Haoyang Township, resettle the displaced people, and exchange information once there is intelligence. He led the army to join Dong Bai and prepare to take down Xia Yang's related matters.

Early the next morning, in Xiayang County, the gate guarding had been instructed a few days ago not to let Xiliang thieves sneak into the city. Recently, the days have been good, and in the early summer, there are frequent business trips, and the city gate officials can still earn some oil and water.

In the distance, another carriage came by, the rut marks were deep, and the goods pulled on the carriage must be indispensable. However, there were three or four strong men, and the city gate officials could not help but be cautious.

"Who are you?" This first level is to talk about it first and see if this business trip is real or fake, and where it is from. As long as it is not a business trip that is in contact with the area, it cannot be passed.

"The villain's surname is Li, he is doing cloth trading, pulling a cart of good cloth, and the first time he came to Xiayang to sell cloth, he used to sell it until he left the stone."

A standard mouth on the other side of the Yellow River, Hedong accent replied.

The city gate officials are most familiar with the accent of the place, and on the other side of the Yellow River in Xiayang is Hedong County, where business travel is also the most common.

The city gate officials also asked two questions to the other coachmen and servants, all of whom had Hedong accents. Only one of the four in the group was armed. The other soldiers had no problem inspecting the goods, they were all cloth, but they were of a very high-end kind.

Keeping in mind the recent advice, the city gate officials personally inspected the goods and found that they were indeed high-grade fabrics. This kind of cloth was only affordable for the families, the wealthy nobles, and the Xiongnu nobles, but the cloth seemed to be wet and seemed to be painted with something.

He asked, "What do you have on this cloth?" Why don't you keep it dry like a normal cloth? ”

Even the most expensive merchants did not have a high status in the Han Dynasty, and it was common for them to be interrogated when entering and leaving the city gates.

The leader replied, "This is a delicate Jiuxia satin, which is coated with a special spice, and it tastes like a special fragrance, but some rich and noble people feel that it is very fragrant when they smell it." By the way, I also handed over a bag of things.

The doorman is used to holding money, as long as he holds it in his hand, he knows how much it is according to the weight without looking. Then he smiled and said: "Merchant Li is really a bold person, the goods can go in, I wish the business a prosperous one."

The businessman surnamed Li asked, "Dare to ask how many businessmen have entered today?" Is there a cloth business? ”

"Today, there are many firewood and carbon sellers, but they are all alone, and now that the weather is hot, they can't do business. There was no cloth business, but a few carts went in, all of which were grain, grass, dried fish, timber and other goods. Hurry up and get in, there's no good spot when it's late. ”

The businessman surnamed Li said happily: "Okay, I wish you good life and good health." ”

He turned his head away, a strange smile on his face that was imperceptible.

……

In the evening of the same day, the sun was setting, and the summer sun was particularly quiet and peaceful from the Phoenix Ridge in the west of the city. Geng Qing still remembers that two years ago, when his soldiers and horses were stationed, the He family of the Shi clan organized the tribe, slaves and maids, and residents of the city to welcome them.

And now, half of his men have fled, and there are only about two hundred people left, but they are besieged here by the people who once welcomed him.

When the Xiliang army gains power, how many people are eager to cling to him, and if they lose power for ten days, they will take credit for their own heads. Geng Qing was melancholy for a moment, but he caught a glimpse of wisps of black smoke coming out of the direction of Xia Yang, and the camp of thousands of people besieging him gradually stirred.

……

The people of the county order and the Shi clan on this side of Xiayang County fell into chaos one after another, two puffs of black smoke rose into the sky, and eighteen people held simple torches to attack the He family's mansion.

"Haha, who would buy dried fish wrapped in dried horse manure? Oil-soaked high-grade Jiuxia satin is made into torches, and only the Dong family has this determination. ”

"The Dong family's army has entered the city! Only the He family will be punished, and the rest will take refuge quickly! ”

When the city was in chaos, the third song soldiers of the Xiliang New Army quickly approached the earthen wall guarded by few soldiers, and quickly climbed the two-zhang high city wall with a splicable mountaineering and climbing artifact - a centipede hanging mountain ladder. After occupying the city wall, kill the enemy and erect the Dong family as quickly as possible.

As soon as they saw the Dong family, the He family in the city was shocked, and the soldiers, slaves and maids who were still resisting and extinguishing the fire surrendered and fled one after another, and the remaining few family members were all taken down.

On the west side of the city, the county commander saw that there was a change in the city, and arranged for the county lieutenant and five hundred tribes and servants to continue to besiege Geng Qing's department, and he and the leader of the He family hurriedly rushed to the county seat with one hundred horseback tribes and thousands of armed tenants. As soon as the 100 cavalry arrived at the city gate, they were knocked down by a dense array of crossbows, and then a hundred heavily armored cavalry rushed out from both sides to destroy the withering and decaying and cut off their formation.

These tribes usually bully the township and curb thieves very effectively, but when they really fight with Dong Jiajun, they have almost no power to resist. Except for the seven or eight horsemen who escaped by luck, all the rest were killed, and the heavy armored cavalry of the Dong family army only paid a small price for three injuries.

Although the Xiayang County Commander had jurisdiction over Xiayang, which was close to the border of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he knew nothing about marching and fighting, and he was completely at a loss after the cavalry was defeated and returned.

After a while, Tong Yuan led a hundred heavily armored cavalry and a hundred armored infantry with bows and crossbows to chase after him, and the two sides faced each other in formation. Although these two hundred men faced thousands of people, they were well-equipped and fierce, and their might was far superior to that of the other side. Xiayang County ordered that side just barely maintain the formation and did not automatically collapse.

At this time, Xiayang County Cheng walked out from Dong Jiajun's side, and Zhengse shouted to the other party: "The He family plotted to kill their colleagues and seize the land, and the Dong family's 100,000 troops returned to Chang'an, and there was an order to kill this bureaucracy." However, Weiyang Jun is filial piety, and Tong Xiaowei is benevolent and righteous, except for the county order, as long as he surrenders to sincerity, he will share land and grain! Don't hurry up and thank you! ”

Tong Yuan felt very admired after listening to it, and his speech was full of emotion, this box of jewelry was not given away in vain. Sure enough, the opposite side suddenly collapsed, mainly because of fear, but also because of the hatred of the He family, as well as the sharing of land and other interests.

Some of the subordinates who were loyal to the county order a few seconds ago directly took the county order and exonerated themselves for meritorious service. The county lieutenant who besieged Geng Qing and his men also collapsed under the counter-encirclement and reversal of the situation.
