The fast horses from Jinyang to Handan entered Handan City one after the other, one entered Sikong Mansion, and one entered the White Tiger Hall of Wangcheng, but at this time, the news of Jia Cha's death had not yet come.

Zhao Cheng took the bamboo slip in his hand and fell into deep thought. He was not ignorant of the news about Jinyang, just like Zhao Xian and the others knew their roots, and he had to be wary of them. It's just that after all, the level of his own people is too low, and he still can't understand this kind of core thing. Fortunately, there is Li Dui.

"What do you mean?"

Underneath the lobby, the messenger was still prostrate on the ground. "The lord is still in Jinyang City, and the words have been passed on to the police, waiting for his decision."

"Hmm." Zhao Cheng nodded.

"And repair the book three letters, if there is a change in Jinyang, the police will be sent to the defenders of the three cities of Wolf Meng, Jiaoyang and Yuci, and lead the army to quell the rebellion."

At this point, Zhao Cheng frowned, shook his head and said, "After all, it is too immature, and this move is really inappropriate." "Li Dui is not a widow after all, how can he mobilize troops? I'm afraid that even if there is merit, in Zhao Yong's place, it will become a fault.

"Got it, you can step back first." Zhao Cheng commanded. The man slowly retreated, but Zhao Cheng stood up and paced back and forth in the hall, thinking about how to change next, he had to make a decision first when the news came from Wang Cheng.

Zhao Cheng's situation is very delicate. On the one hand, he is the patriarch of the Zhao clan, and if this kind of thing happens to Jinyang, he is duty-bound. Fortunately, it was just pressure, and Zhao Xian was not an old fool, and he dared to really raise troops to rebel. Today, unlike in the past, after Zhao Yong succeeded to the throne, he firmly controlled the military power in his own hands, and Wu Guang was overthrown by him and became Sima without real power. In order to contend with the Zhao generals, people like Pang Cong, Li Yan, and Le Yi were used to take charge of the troops, and those Zhao veterans were hung up by him and treated each other as idle. This made Zhao Yong speak very confidently, but he was not afraid that these people would rebel.

Closer to say, the three ends of Jinyang are all generals promoted by Zhao Yong, relying on the little soldiers in Jinyang, the sky is to defend the city, and they want to attack other places, and they are foolish dreams. This is also the reason why Zhao Cheng is not in a hurry.

What he thinks about is how to extract his own benefits from this. The most important thing is to let those people in Jinyang obey their orders, don't always obey the yang and the yin, there is no patriarch in their eyes, only those clansmen. So this time, we must let Zhao Xian, the three old men, give up their rights and retire at home with peace of mind.

"The three old people are all old, and it is time for them to retire with peace of mind." Zhao Cheng muttered.

When he arrived at the gate of the royal city, he happened to see Zhao Bao and Feiyi, so he entered the city together, and as soon as he entered the gate of the White Tiger Palace, he heard Wu Guang roar urgently: "Three, there is news from Jinyang, someone intends to rebel!" ”

Except for Zhao Cheng, the other two people were shocked, but they didn't expect Zhao Yong to go out on the expedition, and there was a rebellion in Jinyang. Everyone knows that Jinyang is the rear of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and if this happens, I am afraid that there will be problems with the supply of grain and grass for the army. So he took the summons one by one and looked at it, and behind the payment was Li Dui.

Zhao Cheng took the message from Feiyi and read it roughly, it was basically the same as the information to himself, but the ins and outs of the matter were not detailed. Pretended to say: "Although this Li Dui's words are unknown, Jinyang is where the grain and grass of the army are located, and it is better to be careful than to veto it easily." I thought that the right person should be sent to Jinyang to sit in the town, just in case. At the same time, let Li Dui control the overall situation, and take necessary measures when necessary. ”

"This is the words of the old man who seeks the country." Fei Yi nodded, even if the political discord did not affect his approval of Zhao Cheng's proposal. "Now Jinyang is just the beginning of the beginning, if you want to arbitrarily execute it without judging right and wrong, and it is in a place like Jinyang, I am afraid that it will hurt the wisdom of the king." In terms of maintaining Zhao Yong, Feiyi has been doing his best. "In addition to Li Dui, Si Jia Cha can also be entrusted with important tasks, with the two of them as the core, to deal with Jinyang's affairs, and to ensure the stability of Jinyang." If Fei Yi knew that Jia Cha was dead, he didn't know how to feel.

"Jinyang's military power is in the hands of the main general Zhao Yan, even if Li Dui and the two work hard, they have no military power, I'm afraid it will be in vain. Indeed, the police should be sent to the three cities of Terrier Yang, Wolf Meng and Yuci, and the camera should be moved. At the same time, he reported to the king and explained the reason. Zhao Bao also said.

"However, at the same time, we should also ask Zhao Gu, the acting minister, to be prepared, in case Jinyang resists stubbornly, the supply of grain and grass for the Northern Expedition army will also be sent from Daijun, although the road is not short, but there is no other way." Wu Guang also talked about the problems that came to mind.

"Although Dai Jun has vigorously marched the army, it has been fruitful. However, in the past few years, one has to be responsible for the training of cavalry, and the other is to supply Ningwu Pass to build the pass, I am afraid that I am also overstretched. I can't say it, I still have to allocate grain and grass from Handan. After Fei Yi finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Bao and Zhao Cheng.

"The old man will arrange it, get ready, in case the county is in an emergency, transfer grain and grass from Handan to Dai County, but this farmer's requisition and army, please ask Lord Sima to arrange in advance."

"It must be so. If you have no opinions, a certain order will be issued in the name of the White Tiger Hall and sent to Jiaoyang, Wolf Meng, Yuci and Jinyang. It's just that the people sent to Jinyang to sit in the town, who is more secure to be elected?"

Wu Guang's question really stopped a few people, the qualifications of this person in charge must be enough to calm Zhao Ran, Zhao Yan, the two juniors and the children of the Zhao clan, so he must be a member of the Zhao family; This person must act decisively, otherwise there will be almost no one to consult with when something unexpected happens; In the end, this person must be absolutely sincere to Handan, and he can know the soldiers better, otherwise when he arrives in Jinyang, I am afraid that he will help the abuse, but make things bigger.

As soon as these conditions are set, there are actually only a handful of people with this qualification. The four of them glanced at each other, in fact, they already had candidates in their hearts, but it was not appropriate to say it, and finally looked at Zhao Cheng. Yes, only Zhao Cheng is qualified to say the name of this person. Zhao Cheng sneered and said the common answer in the hearts of the four of them: "Order Zhao Shan to enter Jinyang to temporarily receive Jinyang's military power, Yuci, Zhao Shan's deputy general will temporarily take his place." ”

Everyone nodded, knowing that this was the best choice, so they asked Wu Guang to write an order, sign the names of the four people, and send it to the four places. This is the way of working of the White Tiger Palace, when Zhao Yong was in Handan, he was the secretariat, reporting to Zhao Yong in different categories, providing reference and asking for opinions; Zhao Yong was on the expedition, and the White Tiger Hall was responsible for formulating a temporary disposal plan and reporting to Zhao Yong at the same time. This design made Zhao Yong very comfortable, and Guy was used to this way of working in his previous life, so he willfully set up a high-level secretariat. In his shallow historical knowledge, he really has no concept of the so-called separation of powers and checks and balances. Maybe in his opinion, Lao Tzu is a one-day trip to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period anyway, as long as he doesn't mess around, there should be no problem.

At the same time, in the cloud city that had just been conquered, the news of Jinyang was also placed on Zhao Yong's desk for the first time, diluting his joy after conquering the clouds.

In fact, the process of Zhao Jun's conquering Yunzhong was not so difficult. Since the last defeat, Lou Yuan rushed to Jiuyuan in the west with the main force, and directly abandoned Cloud City. After Zhao Yong received this news, he did not dare to delay, and after discussing with Niu Qian, he decided to attack Yunzhong three days after the battle. Although Yunzhong City has the foundation left by the construction of Zhao State, as mentioned before, it is a very luxurious thing for the grassland people who are short of materials to survive, let alone use these materials to repair the city wall, so the old and disrepaired Yunzhong City, in the continuous attack of the Zhao army for two days and two nights, has been absent for many years and returned to the hands of the Zhao people. From then on, Zhao moved the defense line of himself and the steppe people to the Great River Valley, greatly broadening his buffer zone and defensive depth, even if the Xiongnu attacked, he could effectively organize an effective defense in Zhao himself. This is also the heavy price that Lou Yuan paid after underestimating the enemy, and from then on, if they wanted to go south to plunder the Zhao realm, they had to pass through the grassland defense area of the Zhao army, which greatly increased the difficulty.

This would have been a great joy, and if it weren't for the bamboo slip on the desk, it would have been perfect. However, perfection is never easy.

"What is the situation in Jinyang now?" Zhao Yong grimaced, looked at the messenger who knelt on the ground, and said coldly.

"Back to the king, when a certain person came out, everything was fine in Jinyang, and there was nothing abnormal."

"That is to say, Li Dui is suspected of lying about the military situation." The voice raised a few points.

"This ...... Although there is no evidence, there are indications that these people have the intention of rebelling, I am afraid that ......"

"It's too hasty to rely on this, is this how Li Dui worries about loneliness? What a disappointment for Lonely! ”

The people in the audience were already in a cold sweat, and their arms were shaking. In his opinion, even if he came to report the news, even if it was useless, he should not be so troubled, and sure enough, he accompanied the king like a tiger, and he really didn't know what the king was thinking.

"Someone." Zhao Yong drank, and immediately outside the main hall, two black-clothed guards walked in, "This person disturbs the hearts of our army, lies about the military situation, and according to military law, he should be beheaded in front of the army." Swiftly escorted and executed. ”

Without saying a word, the two black-clothed guards pressed the messenger to the ground, and then dragged him out on one side. The man struggled and cried out for injustice, and I am afraid that he still does not know why he ended up like this. And Zhao Yong's face was grim, and he didn't let him go in the slightest. I only heard a scream not far away, and after a while, the two guards just now presented the box containing each other's heads to Zhao Yong, Zhao Yong glanced at it, waved his hand, and asked them to retreat.

Niu Jian and Lou Yan waited outside, not knowing what was happening inside, and saw that the messenger was pushed out for execution, but the two have been officials for many years, and there is still some speculation about this kind of thing, the messenger is from Jinyang, and there must be something wrong with Jinyang. And those Zhao clans in Jinyang, if they hadn't broken into a catastrophe, Zhao Yong, such an approachable person, would never push the messenger out and behead him. This was the first person Zhao Yong personally ordered to be executed.

Niu Jian and the others glanced at each other, and motioned for Niu Jian and Lou Yan to go in first on behalf of everyone to test the mood of the king. The two of them had no choice but to bite the bullet and were about to go in, but they heard a crackling sound in the hall, knowing that this was Zhao Yong throwing things again, and the feet that had just stepped out were retracted, and they decided to wait and see.

Although groggy, he insisted on finishing this chapter. Drinking is something that happens to me every time, and I have to pretend to be very happy, and sometimes I feel that I am too hypocritical.
