Half an hour passed in a flash, and the whole army put on cold and damp armor again and set out on the way home. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the road was very difficult, none of the more than 1,000 soldiers under Zhang Jun's command complained of being tired.

Among these soldiers, one-third of them were veterans who were born and died with Zhang Jun and fought thousands of miles, and they didn't pay attention to this difficulty at all. Thinking that I climbed the ice and snow, and fought day and night, what is the point of walking? The other two-thirds are the remnants who joined later, who are used to suffering, and now not only can they eat every meal, but they can also see the meat, which is already a heavenly day, who will have complaints.

Aside from Zhang Jun's subordinates, who continued to hurry, Zhou Yanzheng frowned in the county guard mansion of Guangwu County. He had already received the news that the major general was about to enter the county, but he hadn't figured out how to face it for a while.

Zhou Yan asked himself that there was no loss of ministers, and the matter of the Hao clan's division of the remnants was guaranteed by the Yamen, and the two sides signed and drew a deed of sale that came into effect, which was not only in line with the law of Liangzhou, but also did not harm the interests of the county, but also greatly benefited Guangwu to increase taxes and taxes. But in this way, only the major general suffered losses in the end.

Now the major general is heading to Guangwu County, no matter how you look at it, there is a layer of meaning to ask for guilt. Although Zhou Yan is still at the same level as the major general in office, he boasts that he is not afraid of Zhang Jun, but he always feels that he has done something wrong.

A staff member next to him saw that the proprietor's brows were twisted into the word "Chuan", and he couldn't help but come up with an idea: "If the lord doesn't want to see that Zhang Jun, he can refuse to leave the city in the name of his large number of people and horses and the place is unbearable." When the time comes, the army will carry a large amount of grain and grass, and the boy will have nothing to say. ”

If Zhang Jun was just an ordinary general, Zhou Yan could do so, and even the labor army was not necessary. As a county guard, except for the general Zhang Mao, he doesn't need to sell other people's face at all. But the reality is that Zhang Jun has another layer of identity - he is the young master of Da Liang, the successor of the future Liangzhou regime. Unless Zhou Yan plans to spend the rest of his life farming in his hometown, he can't do this at all.

glanced at this staff member speechlessly, only to see that he was still in office and he came up with a "clever plan" and was complacent, Zhou Yan actually had an urge to slap him twice. Fortunately, after many years of being an official and cultivating kung fu veterans, he endured it, waved his hand and said: "It's none of your business here, go down······"

Seeing the proprietor's impatient expression, the staff member also knew that his idea must not be very good, so he immediately put away his smug expression and retreated in a gloomy manner.

Zhou Yan rubbed his swollen temples, simply got up and walked out, and at the same time said to the Cao officials standing on the left and right: "This county should go to the young general in person, and you will perform your duties and must not slack off!" ”

Each county under the rule of Liangzhou has a separate driver, a central officer, a master bookkeeper and a household, a law, a soldier, a official, and a cang, which constitute the administrative body of the entire county, even if the county guard leaves temporarily, it will not have an impact on government affairs, because as long as nothing particularly major happens, everyone only needs to perform their duties.

When they heard the admonition, they all received the command: "No! ”

Zhou Yan was quite satisfied with the performance of his subordinates, nodded and left quickly. He landed in Guangwu County as an imperial historian, and he didn't have much experience in governance, and the staff he brought with him hadn't been able to adapt to the new environment. Although he also wants to slowly regain power, he still can't do without these subordinates now. After all, they are the head snakes of the land, and they are inextricably linked with the wealthy families in various counties. If you hastily leave these people to work alone, I am afraid that you will fall into the embarrassing situation of not being able to leave the state city by the county order.

Summoning a school captain and ordering a team of people, Zhou Yan turned over his horse and galloped towards the official road leading to Jincheng with people.

At this time, although Liangzhou was under the rule of the Han people, the officials were not martial arts, and they were very different from the Eastern Jin Dynasty court in the south. One of the points is that there are few weak officials in Liangzhou, and they can generally ride horses and open bows. On the one hand, this is due to the fierce folk customs in the northwest, and on the other hand, it is also a psychological portrayal of the people's insecurity under the ring of strong enemies.

On the contrary, the Jin court, which gradually gained a foothold in the south, was intoxicated by the sheng song and Yan dance, not only Wen Tian and Wu Huan, but even many sons of the family did not go to the military camp once after taking charge of the army. What's even more ridiculous, as a general, he can't get on a horse, and some people haven't even seen a horse!

However, it was said that Zhang Jun led the army forward, and the hazy outline of Guangwu County could already be seen from a distance. At this moment, Zhou Tong, who was in charge of the forward reconnaissance cavalry, reported that he had encountered the horse team of Zhou Tong guarding Guangwu County.

Zhang Jun smiled and ordered not to pay attention to it, and the whole army continued to advance.

Soon, the sound of horses' hooves came from the front, and I saw a middle-aged man wearing a four-grade civil official costume driving a horse galloping, stopping not far away, holding his fists and saying: "Young General, don't come unharmed!" ”

This person is Zhou Yan, Zhang Jun sat on the back of the horse and did not move, gently shook the horsewhip, even if it was a return salute, and said loudly: "Zhou Zhijun, don't come to harm!" ”

According to Zhou Yan's temper in the past, he had already turned around and left when he saw Zhang Jun's rude behavior, but now he had to be patient, pretending not to see it, and said: "This county heard that the major general wanted to lead the army to Guangwu, so he came to greet him. The major general exalted his prestige to the Huns, and the people of the state were encouraged when they heard it. ”

"Hahaha!" Zhang Jun said with a smile: "To make Jun welcome you from afar, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as complimenting Jun, right?" He urged the horse to take a few steps forward, narrowed the distance with Zhou Yan, looked into the other party's eyes and said, "Jun knows what Jun wants." It's just that Guangwu still has big traitors and evil people waiting for Jun to clean up, and it is really inconvenient to stop for a long time. With that, he hit the horse and flashed past Zhou Yan.

Seeing that Zhang Jun was about to leave, Zhou Yan hurriedly turned his horse's head and said in a loud voice: "Guangwu is under the rule of this county, and the young general leads the troops straight forward, what is the intention?" ”

When Zhang Jun heard this, he stopped and turned his head and said with a smile: "The army turned around, just through Guangwu. Don't worry too much. ”

Zhou Yan didn't think too much about it, he caught up and said bluntly: "It is not illegal for Haoqiang to accept the remnants as tenants. Major General, don't make a mistake about yourself! "To be honest, Zhang Jun killed people in Zhiyang County before, which really scared Zhou Yan. He was worried that if Zhang Jun ordered his soldiers to slaughter those heroes in a fit of anger, he was afraid that he would have to bleed again!

Zhang Jun pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Why did you say this?" ”

"If you can't rest assured, just go with Jun!"

With that, he raised his whip in his hand, flicked the reins, and then sped towards the advancing procession.

Zhou Yan couldn't rest assured, so he had no choice but to lead people to follow.

Soon, the army entered the county town of Guangwu without hindrance. Zhou Yan hurriedly ordered the county lieutenant to vacate a part of the military camp to live with the soldiers under Zhang Jun, and the atmosphere was very harmonious for a while, but he couldn't see anything wrong.

However, Zhou Yan knew in his heart that this young general was not a dumb master at all, he seemed to be smiling now, but it always made people feel that there was a lot of sneer in this smile!
