A white flag has been hung on the city wall of Yuyang County, and the city gate has been opened.

"Yuyang County guards Li Biao, welcome Zhao Taishou."

Li Biao took Duwei Juncheng and others to greet Zhao Hui at the gate of the city.

Even if he was unwilling in his heart, he could only bow his head now.

"I am very relieved that Li Taishou was able to let go of his prejudices and open the city gates, so that the people in the city could avoid the flames of war. Let's go into town together. ”

Zhao Hui led the army in. More than 10,000 captives were still tied with their hands tied for the time being.

Li Biao looked up at Tian Kai's head, which was still hanging on the flagpole, and felt a chill in his heart.

The little thoughts that were still in my heart were all extinguished at this moment.

Zhao Hui still hopes that Li Biao will make some small moves in secret, and then his head will be hung high tomorrow.

No matter what, Yuyang County is too guarded, and Zhao Hui will definitely not let Li Biao hold it again.

It's just that now Li Biao has just surrendered, and countless pairs of eyes are watching, how Zhao Hui will treat Li Biao.

If Zhao Hui was very excessive, and even said that he killed Li Biao, those who surrendered with Yuyang County would definitely be panicked.

No one is sure that he will be settled by Zhao Huiqiu.

And if Zhao Hui treats Li Biao well, he can appease the hearts of the officials of Yuyang County and allow them to continue their work with peace of mind.

Yuyang County, the county seat plus the following counties, those villages are not counted, and the small officials are not counted, but there are hundreds of court officials officially appointed by the Han Dynasty.

Unless Zhao Hui can completely replace these hundreds of people, if he wants Yuyang County to avoid turmoil, he must take care of the emotions of these people.

Even if Zhao Hui has so many talents in his hands that can be replaced, it may not be possible to do so.

Many of the officials are local wealthy families, and if they are dismissed, it will be difficult to manage the local government.

If Zhao Hui really didn't consider their interests, he would be forced to surrender today because of Zhao Hui's army.

Tomorrow, when Zhao Hui's soldiers and horses leave, they will immediately start to resist.

The surrender of Yuyang County was not sincere to them, but forced.

Whether Zhao Hui can make the officials of Yuyang County, as well as the local heroes, return to their hearts, depends on Zhao Hui's next distribution of interests.

Although he said that he didn't like the local powers, he really couldn't get away from them if he wanted to stabilize his own land before the revolution was successful.

Shanggu County has a stable situation now, also because Zhao Hui has been secretly reaching into those families for a few years. Tie the interests of these families together.

Otherwise, Zhao Hui's road to Taishou would not have been so smooth.

On the surface, he didn't dare to obstruct Zhao Hui, but there were many ways to stumble in secret. No evidence was found at all.

But if you are ruthless and get rid of them all, not only will you lose your vitality, but the enemy will have a chance to take advantage of them.

If you attack other counties in the future, you will be met with strong resistance. It is unlikely that anyone else will surrender.

When they feel that surrender is death, they can only be broken rather than destroyed.

Zhao Hui did not move Li Biao for the time being, and everything in Yuyang County remained the same, but he received the military power into his own hands.

It's just that countless intelligence agents have appeared in various places and began to investigate whether these officials are corrupt and oppressive to the people.

Corruption among officials is already the norm, whether it is the three princes and nine secretaries of the imperial court, or local officials, there is no one who is not corrupt, but more or less.

Many officials, when they were able to become officials, they paid a sum of money. The money handed over, they must use their current status to get it back.

Even if you don't pay the money, you are still greedy when you should be greedy.

If you are not greedy for money, you can't give gifts to your top boss, and you can't take out anything to pay homage when the superintendent comes, and this official will definitely not be able to be a servant.

is a hero like Liu Bei, after being pinched by the superintendent, he can only beat up and get angry, and then abandon the official and leave.

This is already a sick officialdom, even if it is Zhao Hui, it can't be changed in a short period of time.

He can only control the corruption of these officials within a certain range, and cannot let the people under his rule not survive.

When the water is clear, there are no fish, and some things can only be implemented when the world is unified.

Beginning prematurely to enforce it, requiring everyone to comply, to the detriment of the interests of the majority.

If you don't get the support of others at the beginning, then there is no future.

And when Zhao Hui dominates the world in the future, he will come to do these things, and it will be a matter of course. At that time, no one would dare to stand up against Zhao Hui.

The wounded soldiers have been placed and doctors are available to treat their injuries.

Whether it was Zhao Hui's own soldiers or the group of wounded prisoners, they were all treated.

Those who are seriously injured will become garrison soldiers after being cured.

Among the other captives, those who were not in good health and bad character were dismissed, and the rest were absorbed by Zhao Hui into his army.

Zhao Hui did not stay in Yuyang County for long, let Xu Shu and Dian Wei stay, and Zhao Hui himself rushed to Beiping County with Zhao Yun non-stop.

He wanted to occupy Beiping County before Gongsun Chan returned.

Gongsun Zhan was already on his way to Beiping County, and now it was up to him or Zhao Hui to see who was faster.

Beiping County is now empty of troops, and whoever arrives first will be whom.

The bulky equipment such as catapults and siege vehicles were all left in Yuyang County.

Zhao Hui only brought more than 10,000 people, traveled lightly, and marched hundreds of miles every day.

Gongsun Zhan, who withdrew his troops from Jizhou and rushed back, heard the news that Tian Kai had been killed and all 20,000 soldiers had surrendered to Zhao Hui on the way, and a mouthful of blood almost spurted out.

Especially when he heard that Zhao Hui had rushed to Beiping County with his soldiers and horses, Gongsun Zhan's face was very ugly.

From the three choices, he chose the one that seemed to be the most secure, but now even his lair was about to be occupied by Zhao Hui.

Gongsun Chan divided the team into two teams, and he himself marched with more than 10,000 people.

The other baggage team was commanded by Yan Gang in the rear and advanced at a normal pace.

Whether it is Zhao Hui or Gongsun Zhan, they are all racing against time.

"My lord, it's only one hundred and fifty miles away from Beiping County." Liao Hua said.

After marching more than 100 miles every day for many days, even if the soldiers led by Zhao Hui were all well-trained elites, everyone was very tired now.

"Order, the whole army set off, and it must arrive in Beiping County today." Zhao Hui said.

According to the news sent by the spies last night, Gongsun Zhan was only more than 200 miles away from Beiping County.

Zhao Hui must be in front of Gongsun Zhan, otherwise the rapid march of the past few days will be in vain.

The soldiers were tired, but after Zhao Hui's order was given, no one complained, and everyone carried their bags and moved forward silently.

No one is talking, everyone is saving their physical strength.
