Chapter 286: Entering Beijing
Jiao Qiang, Zhang Jun and other veterans of the Western Route Army breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Zhang Shumo did not plan to dispose of Su Yi. However, as for what Zhang Shumo said about not giving Su Yi military power again, several people had no complaints. Although they were all Su Han's old subordinates, they were more in contact with Su Chang before, and they had to follow Su Yi after Su Chang was killed.
And Su Yi's performance when Ji Wen led the troops to attack was really dissatisfied. Taking advantage of Jingguo's attack on Dieling Pass, he led people to attack Qinghua City, putting personal grievances above his family and country. After that, he was captured by Ji Wen, and even surrendered directly to the city, becoming an out-and-out traitor. Now that Zhang Shumo didn't kill General Su Han in the face of him, it was already the best way to deal with it.
As a result, Jiao Qiang, Zhang Jun and others also had no opinions and agreed to return to Zhang Lu.
Zhang Shumo was overjoyed, Huaiguo is now suffering from internal and external troubles, the burden on his father is too heavy, and after the problem in the northwest is solved, I believe that his father will have more energy to deal with Yan Guo and Zheng Guo.
Not long after, news came from Jingguo that Dou Long, Zou Qi, Ge Zhao and Jin Jier jointly rebelled. They attacked Jincheng with lightning speed, and then captured six cities near Jincheng one after another, forming a battle line, and proclaimed the name of the country as Zhou, and fought against Ji Xin.
As soon as the news came out, Jingguo was in an uproar. Ji Xin was furious and immediately organized men to suppress the so-called Zhou State. At this point, Jingguo began to fall apart from the inside and no longer belonged to the ranks of powerful countries.
After Huaiguo got the news, he was excited, and a stone pressed on his chest was finally removed.
So, Zhang Shumo asked Chen Lin and Qin Sheng to help count the generals' big and small military exploits, and then Zhang Shumo reported it to Zhang Lu again to reward him for his meritorious deeds!
Soon, Chen Lin and Qin Sheng counted the results, and Zhang Shumo personally wrote a letter to Lu Li, asking him to hand over the letter to Zhang Lu.
After Lu Li left, Wu Tai also asked Zhang Shumo for his resignation, since there were no foreign enemies in the northwest, Wu Tai naturally had to go back to Yiyang Army to report.
After this period of time, Zhang Shumo was completely in charge of Xu Liangjun. So Zhang Shumo directly ordered Jiao Qiang to be the general of the Western Route Army and lead 20,000 people to garrison the last city; ordered Zhang Jun to lead 10,000 people as the general of the North Route Army, and at the same time asked Jiang Bin to take the original North Route soldiers and horses to join Zhang Jun, a total of nearly 20,000 people to garrison the next city.
At the same time, Zhang Shumo replanned the original four cities of Xuliang County, renamed the Big Tea Castle as Wuzhi City, and the original Xiuwuzhi was divided into Xiuwu City and Wuzhi City, and finally Xuliang County was divided into five cities.
Then Zhang Shumo carried out a major reshuffle of the officials in each city, originally Zhang Shumo wanted to transfer the Niu family back to Qinghua City, but Niu Zheng was reluctant to build half of Wuzhi City, and finally Niu Zheng was the county commander of Wuzhicheng, and Shang Lei was the county lieutenant. Cai Zhi became the county commander of Thanh Hoa City, and Shang Leizi was the county lieutenant. Wei Shan and Qiao Hai became the county commanders of Xiuwu City and Mengzhou City respectively, and Lou Yuan and Lin Xiu were appointed county lieutenants.
After arranging the other four cities, Zhang Shumo invited Chen Lin to be the county guard of Xu Liang County, but Chen Lin politely refused. In Chen Lin's opinion, Zhang Shumo's future is immeasurable, so if he stays in the northwest border as a county guard, it is better to follow him to a broader place!
In the end, Zhang Shumo ordered Qin Sheng to become the county guard of Xuliang County and lead all government affairs.
Immediately after Qin Sheng took office, he promulgated a new policy, allowing all cities to emphasize agriculture and suppress commerce, and vigorously develop agriculture. At the same time, the people were encouraged to have children, the people were encouraged to join the army, and relevant favorable policies were promulgated, and the entire northwest presented a scene of post-war reconstruction.
Zhang Shumo has been living a stable life these days. He accompanies Lou Zaiying to travel all day long, and in his spare time, he will guide Lou Guang and Wang Hu to read, enjoying a moment of tranquility.
During this period, Zhang Shumo met Zhu Qing and his son, who began to do business with Yan Guo. Through trading with Yan State, Zhu Qing not only benefited Zhang Shumo, but also obtained a lot of information about Yan State.
According to Zhu Qing's experience, although the Yan State was overwhelmed by a large army, it did not launch a substantial attack on Huaiguo, and only occasionally tried one or two, and it seemed that there was no intention of attacking on a large scale at all. At the same time, Zhu Qing also found that Zheng Guo had been envoys to tens of millions of Yan States during this time, and he didn't know what the two countries were plotting.
Half a month passed peacefully, and Lu Li had not yet returned, but a piece of good news reached Xu Liang.
Zhang Lu announced to the world that Zhang Shumo was the king of Zhenxi, in charge of Xuliang County and Yiyang County, and in charge of the affairs of the two counties. From now on, he will immediately enter Beijing and be sealed.
When the news reached Xu Liang, everyone was amazed, they didn't expect Zhang Lu to attach so much importance to Zhang Shumo, it seems that Zhang Shumo's status in the Zhang family must not be low. If Zhang Lu has arranged this chess piece for a long time, then he must be too far-sighted, right?
And the most surprised person is Lou Zaiying, originally she thought that Zhang Shumo could get ahead, which was already a great thing. Unexpectedly, Zhang Shumo turned into a prince who directly became the prince in charge, so wouldn't he become a princess? But I'm just a country girl, in addition to being like a knife and stick, even the female red can't, how can I match the last chapter of the book and ink?
Lou Zaiying's heart was pounding, she didn't dare to think about it anymore, looking back, she didn't seem to be able to help Zhang Shumo at all except for dragging her back, this time Zhang Shumo entered Beijing or didn't follow her?
Just thinking about it, Zhang Shumo pushed the door into the house, and saw that Lou Zaiying looked very puzzled, so he asked, "What's wrong with you, lady?" ”
Lou Zaiying hurriedly shook her head, and was about to say something, when Zhang Shumo grabbed her hand: "Are you worried that I will abandon you after I soar?" I won't let you down! ”
"I understand!" Lou Zaiying blushed and nodded.
Zhang Shumo breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, lady, hurry up and pack your things." This time I will enter Beijing with some meritorious heroes, what do you think I will bring Pang Yuan and Zhang Yan over? ”
Lou Zaiying pouted: "How do I know this, you hurry up, don't worry about me, I will pack your things for you." ”
"What do you mean by me, it's for us!"
Lou Zaiying hesitated: "That, can I not go?" ”
"Why?" Zhang Shumo looked surprised: "You don't want to go?" ”
Lou Zaiying nodded: "I'm just a girl in the mountains, I haven't seen anything in the world, I might embarrass you if I go!" ”
When Zhang Shumo heard this, he quickly stretched out his hand and touched Lou Zaiying's forehead, and then muttered: "I don't have a fever, why did you talk nonsense?" ”
Lou Zaiying pushed him away: "Don't make trouble, I mean really, I didn't joke with you!" ”。
Seeing Lou Zaiying's momentum, Zhang Shumo laughed: "That's right!" This is your character, you have never been afraid of heaven and earth, why are you afraid of entering Beijing? ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Shumo hugged Lou Zaiying into his arms: "Zaiying, go with me, I can't leave you for a moment!" ”
