Liangzhou, Guzang County!

Guzang County is actually the Wuwei City of later generations, and now, it is not only the county seat of Wuwei County, but also the state seat of Liangzhou.

The Liangzhou Zhang clan is rooted here and rules the entire Liangzhou territory. Today's lord of Liangzhou is Zhang Zuo! In the spring of last year, he changed the attitude of the Zhang family towards Jiang Zuo's vassals in the past and called himself King Liang, obviously this ambition also began to swell~ swell.

Guzang is an important place in Liangzhou, and the state is the most prosperous place in the entire Liangzhou. In addition, in recent years, there have been almost no major battles in Liangzhou, and although small-scale firefights have appeared from time to time, they basically come and go quickly.

Therefore, the whole territory is a little more peaceful than other places in the world. Merchants of all ethnic groups came and went on the streets, and these people came from the west and wanted to go east, to the merchants in Guanzhong and even Jiangzuo.

The streets are bustling with activity, and many things that are rare in the Central Plains are much more common here. Due to the turmoil in the world, the trade routes leading to the Central Plains and Jiangzuo are often blocked, so this Liangzhou has naturally become a place for business travel and distribution in the Western Regions.

However, early this morning, the bustle on the street was disrupted, and the bustle turned into chaos. For several horses came from the east, and galloped through the streets, and galloped swiftly to the place where the palace was.

In the palace, Zhang Zuo had just gotten up from being served, and after eating a little something, he was about to take a good stroll in the palace and relax.

"Report, King Qiqi, Jincheng County has an urgent official document delivered!" A chamberlain, holding a watch stamp in both hands, hurried over, kneeling and shouting.

"Bring it!" When Zhang Zuo heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and then spoke.

The waiter who was waiting on the side presented the seal, and after Zhang Zuo opened it and looked at it twice, his face couldn't help but change.

"The hateful Wang Zheng actually stole my county and surrendered to Fu Qin! What a sin deserves death! If you don't kill this thief, you won't give up! Zhang Zuo slammed the watch in his hand together and said angrily.

Zhang Zuo is not a virtuous monarch, as long as he is unhappy, he likes to kill innocents indiscriminately. Therefore, when they saw him angry at this time, the palace attendants around him couldn't help but feel worried, and they didn't dare to breathe, for fear that one would accidentally anger him and bury his own life.

"Go, call Zhao Chang!" After being angry for a while, Zhang Zuo seemed to regain some composure and commanded.

Zhao Chang was the right long history of Liangzhou before. However, this guy and Zhang Zuo are in the same group. When Zhang Chonghua, the former Liangzhou pastor, was still there, he colluded with Zhang Zuo and colluded with each other.

A few years ago, when Zhang Chonghua was seriously ill, he took care of the orphan, but unfortunately he didn't find the right person, and found Zhang Zuo and Zhao Chang. Originally, Zhang Chonghua let his son Zhang Lingling take over the power of Liangzhou, and then Xie Ai, a famous general in Liangzhou, assisted the country.

As a result, these two guys let Zhang Lingling ascend the throne, but the appointment of Xie Ai was directly hidden, and Zhang Zuo himself replaced Xie Ai's position. Zhang Jinling is still young, so basically the entire Liangzhou is controlled by Zhang Zuo.

Soon after, Zhao Chang directly slandered Zhang Chonghua's mother Ma Shi, abolished Zhang Jinling, and let Zhang Zuo directly take over the position of Liangzhou Assassin, which led to everything that happened later.

It is precisely because of the meritorious support for Zhang Zuo that Zhao Chang and several others have been reused after Zhang Zuo became king. For example, Zhao Chang, the previous position of the right long history is still there, but he has taken on the position of leading general. Speaking of which, this position is the same as Li Xin's current military position.

After Zhao Chang was summoned, he hurried over. Because he gave the summoned chamberlain a little bit halfway, he already had a general understanding of Zhang Zuo's summoning himself! When he arrived at the palace, he had already thought of a way to deal with it.

"Minister, meet the king!" Coming to Zhang Zuo, Zhao Chang saluted respectfully, not daring to make the slightest mistake.

"Get up! I called you to discuss things. A few years ago, the traitor king occupied several counties in Jincheng and confronted the king! Now he actually took these counties and surrendered to Fu Qin, which is really a crime that deserves death! Zhang Zuo said with a gloomy face.

"The king has already noticed the ambition of the wolf, so he did not let him go deep into the territory of Liangzhou. Nowadays, although there are several counties in Jincheng County that fall behind Fu Qin, they have little impact. A few years ago, General Niu led an army of 3,000 to defeat this thief, but it was only at this time that he surrendered to Fu Qin, presumably when the mountains and rivers were exhausted! In the opinion of the ministers, we can send more troops and order General Niu to recapture those counties! After Zhao Chang pondered for a while, he said slowly.

"Niu Ba is also incompetent, otherwise, Wang Zheng's head should be sent before the year! In this way, how can we be today! As soon as Jincheng County is lost, Fu Qin will inevitably spy on my Liangzhou County. In particular, Jincheng County is where the eastern barrier of Wuwei County is located, if the whole county of Jincheng County is lost, Fu Qin's soldiers and horses will be able to come outside Guzang City in a few days! What you said is not unreasonable, quickly spread the lonely life, and ordered Yi Yi and Zhang Ling to rush to Jincheng with an army of 10,000 to join Niu Ba and regain the lost territory! When Zhang Zuo heard this, he couldn't help but ponder for a while, and then said.

"Yes, the minister will go and give the order!" Zhao Chang hurriedly bowed in response.

"The army crusades ~ is justified. However, now that the king has subdued Fu Qin, if it is attacked by our army, I am afraid that Fu Qin will send troops to help. In this case, it is a difficult task! Is there a solution to this problem? After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Zuo said again.

"The minister thinks that since Fu Qin was expelled from Guanzhong by Li Xin of the Huashan Army, he is no longer what he used to be! Now all their elite forces are deployed in the east to guard against the Huashan army in Guanzhong. Although there are a lot of remaining troops, if you want to resist our elite soldiers, I'm afraid it's not so easy! Moreover, for the sake of a king, offending the king is extremely unwise! Come to think of it, the Qin court shouldn't be so short-sighted! The king should send a messenger to state the secret of this, and ask him to return the counties of Jincheng, and at the same time return the king and a group of traitors to the Fa! In this way, it may be possible to avoid a sword fight and save a lot of entanglements! Zhao Chang thought for a while and proposed.

"You're right, there are 1,000 generals and 100,000 soldiers under the lone command. If Na Fu Sheng doesn't want to start a war on both sides, he will honestly return the people and the land. Otherwise, together with the swords and soldiers, not only the counties of Jincheng, but I am afraid that even the land of Qinzhou will not be able to be saved! Arrange for a competent person to go and get this done. Hearing this, Zhang Zuo couldn't help but nod.

"Yes, the minister will do it immediately. However, when it comes to Fu Qin, recently, an envoy sent by the Huashan Army came to ask for a visit to the minister's door and wanted to meet the king! I wonder if the king would like to see him? Speaking of this, Zhao Chang seemed to remember something and hurriedly said.

"Oh? The messenger of the Huashan Army? Why didn't he enter the inn? But into your house? Zhang Zuo, whose face was gradually improving, couldn't help but wonder in his heart at this time, looked at the confidant minister in front of him, and said coldly.

"The Great King! It's not a courtier to make friends with a foreigner! It was because this person came quietly, saying that there was a confidential matter to be reported to the king, and this matter was extremely important and could not be known, so he did this! Knowing that Zhang Zuo was seriously ill, but Zhao Chang, who had been prepared, said unhurriedly at this time.

"What's so secret?" Zhang Zuo didn't believe it, so the look of doubt on his face was not less at all.

According to this person, he came on the orders of Li Xin of the Huashan Army. In order to unite with the king and divide the land of Qinzhou! Zhao Chang walked up a few steps and said in a low voice.

"Oh? Is this straightforward? Zhang Zuo, who had a bad face, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he was surprised.

"It shouldn't be true, after all, that Fu Qin is a big problem for the Huashan Army, and Li Xin is in a hurry to eliminate them. However, with the current strength of the Huashan Army, it is not easy to destroy Fu Qin in one fell swoop, so I have to find foreign aid! The minister thinks that this is the immortal merit sent by God to the king, if this can be done, the king is the king of the territory, who in the territory does not praise the name of the king! Zhao Chang nodded and complimented.

"Okay, go and bring this man, and talk to him about it! Well, this matter is really confidential, you have to be careful to keep it secret, and don't let it leak at all! Hearing this, Zhang Zuo, who was already itching, immediately moved.

Since he proclaimed himself the King of Liang, many people in this Liangzhou have opposed him, and several important officials have been killed by him because of this incident. If you can really cooperate with the Huashan Army and share the land of Qinzhou, your position as the King of Liang will undoubtedly be much more stable.

Moreover, if you think about it a little further, after getting half of Qinzhou, you may be able to compete with the Huashan army. If you can get the whole of Qinzhou again, or even get Guanzhong, you can participate in the competition for the whole world.

At that time, it seems that he can also go further on this throne and touch ~ to the supreme seat. In a short period of time, Zhang Zuo has already thought of the distant future, thinking of all kinds of beautiful possibilities, and everything seems to be at his fingertips.

As a result, his mind became more and more intense. At this time, a great opportunity for success and fame is in front of him, how can he miss it!

"Yes, the minister will go and bring this person with him immediately!" Seeing that he agreed, Zhao Chang hurriedly bowed and said.

Immediately, he left the palace and hurried back to his mansion, and asked the messenger of the Huashan army to be called.

"Lord Zhao, I don't know if King Liang has any opinions?" The person who came was a middle-aged man of about 30 years old, and because the weather was still cold, he was dressed relatively thickly. However, when he faced Zhao Chang, he looked very calm.

"For the king did not want to see you, lest he arouse suspicion. However, after the persuasion of the official, I agreed to see you! Hurry up and clean up, and then go with me to the palace!" Zhao Chang glanced at him and said in a deep voice. 21
