A few days later, Cao Cao decided to take a step forward to worship the heavens, with Xun Yu as the prime minister and Xiahoudun as the general, and established the Wei state. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Cao Cao's establishment of the state was also expected by Zhang Zai, and Cao Cao and Xun Yu, who were less shackled in their hearts, and without the constraints of others, were able to join forces to develop the Wei State to such a point, which is really exciting.

But none of this is what he thinks about now, and the establishment of the country is the top priority for him.

Today, Zhang Zai's mood should have been very good, but now his mood is not as good as expected.

For this founding ceremony, he has been preparing for several days, and all the honor guards and horses to be used have been prepared, but there seem to be some rats in the city, which is annoying.

"My lord, it has been found out, it is Yuan Shao's spies, and they plan to make trouble during the ceremony."

Guo Jia on the side had a cold face, he was in control of the intelligence organization under Zhang Zai, and now that the ceremony was imminent, any force that dared to make trouble was slapping him in the face, and he would be his mortal enemy.

"Sure enough, it's him."

Zhang Zai's eyes condensed, Yuan Shao and they were originally mortal enemies, but when Yuan Shao founded the country, Zhang Zai didn't go to him for bad luck, but since Yuan Shao made a move, then don't blame him for being polite.

"Fengxiao, don't leave a single living mouth, and then directly put their heads into a brocade box and give them to Yuan Shao."

"No!"

The next blood, Zhang Zai is not concerned, but he does not come and go, this is not his style, there was a Han family before, he was careful everywhere, and now, he is the king, and it is time to show his fangs.

The spies caught by the bad guys were quickly eliminated, and according to Jang Jae's instructions, their heads were packed in large boxes and sent to the border as quickly as possible.

At the same time, the bad guys soon carried out a new round of purges in the city.

Zhang Zai, who returned to the mansion, naturally didn't pay attention to these things, he had more important things to do.

The establishment of a country is, of course, not as simple as formulating political power and dividing up hundreds of officials, but the country's legal system alone is a big problem that needs to be constantly improved.

Jinyang, as the capital of the Tang Kingdom, is indispensable to need a palace, as a symbol of the national capital, due to the urgency of time, Zhang Zai only expanded on the basis of the original general's mansion, as his temporary palace, and then move to other places in the future.

And in Jinyang City, various sorts have also begun.

First of all, as the national capital, except for the Praetorian Guard, all other troops need to be withdrawn, and Zhang Zai's Praetorian Guard has now expanded to 10,000 people.

After several years of cultivation, Zhang Zai's army has expanded to 100,000 people, of course, this is not Zhang Zai's reckless force, the number of people under his rule has exceeded the number in history, reaching more than 1.2 million, if in wartime, he can also recruit 20,000 soldiers.

As for the remaining 90,000, in addition to 20,000 in Youzhou, the remaining 70,000, 10,000 in Huguan, 10,000 in Shangjun, 20,000 in northern Xinjiang, and 10,000 are distributed in important passes, and the remaining 20,000 are all stationed in Jinyang.

No matter how busy Zhang Zai is or what mood he is in, Yuan Shao is destined to be uncomfortable.

On that day, he was discussing political affairs with his ministers, when suddenly a group of soldiers carried several boxes, saying that they were gifts from Zhang Zai.

"Haha!"

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then laughed.

And many of the ministers under the court also laughed, patted Yuan Shao's sycophants and said: "This Zhang Zai will not be afraid that the lord will find him after the founding of the country, so give some gifts in advance to eliminate the lord's anger." ”

"Come on, continue to carry Zhang Zai's up!"

Zhang Zai's gift consisted of three large boxes, which were very tightly sealed, each box was one zhang long, completely accommodating an adult man to bend over.

Yuan Shao looked at a few boxes proudly, and sneered in his heart, this Zhang Zai, I offended me before, and now I only remember to apologize, it's too late!

Seeing the three big boxes sent by Zhang Zai, the ministers were even more disdainful of Zhang Zai, and the sarcasm was even more serious, only Tian Feng, the head of the civil officials, and the frustration of the second head frowned.

They have more or less known about Zhang Zai, they don't think that Zhang Zai is a person who can easily subdue himself, so there must be another mystery in his box.

Yuan Shao instructed lightly: "Open the box." ”

When the soldiers on the side heard the order, they immediately brought the box.

The box had not yet been fully opened, and a rancid smell came from inside the box, filling the entire court.

"It stinks!"

The ministers on the side couldn't stand the smell and covered their noses and retreated.

Yuan Shao, who was on the side, also immediately covered his mouth and nose and retreated, but it was Tian Feng who immediately stopped the soldiers and ordered them to close the box that had not been fully opened.

Tian Feng, on the other hand, quickly glanced at the contents of the box along the gap, his pupils shrank, and he immediately ordered: "Don't carry the box away quickly!" ”

"Yuan Hao, what's in it?"

Seeing that the box was carried away, and the stench in the lobby had dissipated by half, Yuan Shao's face was already flushed, and he sent a hand covering his mouth and nose, gasped a few times, felt the remaining breath in the air, and quickly fanned it a few times in front of his hand.

"It's a head."

"Head?"

Yuan Shao's face suddenly turned pale, before they laughed at Zhang Zai and wanted to slap him, but now it was like two slaps, slapped on his face, and it hurt very much.

"What does Jang Jae mean exactly?"

"I'm afraid these are the heads of people sent by the king to make trouble in Bingzhou, and he is demonstrating to us."

Tian Feng was thoughtful, and his eyes instantly became cold, the lord humiliated the ministers to death, Zhang Zai was obviously humiliating Yuan Shao and humiliating the entire Jin Kingdom.

"Hmph, he's so bold!"

Hearing Tian Feng's words, Yuan Shao was angry on the spot.

And the military generals on the side asked for battle, wanting to let out the evil anger in their hearts.

Tian Feng didn't stop it this time, it stands to reason that they want to consolidate the royal power and shrink their forces at this time, but Zhang Zai's behavior this time is too much, if he wants to stop it, I'm afraid he will offend the entire court.

"Yan Liang, Wen Chou stops!"

"The last general!"

"Order the two of you to raise 100,000 troops, go to Youzhou, and attack Xue Li on the day of Zhang Zai's founding of the country."

"No!"

Yan Liang and Wen Chou took the order.

The two of them are the generals that Yuan Shao relies on the most, even if Wen Chou lost an arm and his force was greatly reduced, Yuan Shao did not snub him, and now, Yan Liang is a general, and Wen Chou is only one level lower than him, a hussar general.

It also took time for the army to be transferred, and a day later, the 100,000-strong army marched and approached Xue Rengui's department in Youzhou.

And Xue Rengui, who got the news, did not show weakness, and wanted to win the first meritorious service after the founding of the People's Republic of China, so he directly arranged heavy troops on the front line, intending to face the two in person.
