"Your Majesty, Dazai sent someone to send food, plus the dry food carried by Zhuang Guo's soldiers, which is enough for our army for more than ten days. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Originally as the camp of Yu Ping, the lord of Zhuang Guo, now it is occupied by Zhu Xia, listening to Zhang Liao's report, Zhu Xia smiled and said: "Wen Yuan doesn't need to be polite, according to the plan, we have to absorb Zhuang Guo's soldiers as much as possible in the next step, and try to get the support of the generals." How sure are you? Or who to start with? ”

After resting for most of the day, Zhu Xia relieved his mental and physical strength, and began to care about the plan, he had already lost more than 100 soldiers, and it was impossible for him to leave without gain.

There are no officials in the Han Kingdom, and thanks to a top talent like Xiao He, they can withstand the internal affairs of a country, and the others have long been in a miasma and a mess.

In fact, even if he occupies the land of the two counties of Zhuangguo, he can't digest it, first of all, there are not enough officials, and the scholars must intervene in it, but Zhuxia himself is not an excellent politician, and he is still angry, and he can't rub a grain of sand in his eyes!

Let him rule the Han Kingdom with the scholars, it is better to kill him, he himself wants to achieve a word, or even to the point of dictatorship, he doesn't want to end up like the Great Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, dragged to death by civil officials!

From his policy, it can be seen that what he wants to build is the martial Han Empire, and the officials under his command will not get an acre of land, except for some Yulu, there will be some authority left, but as long as they dare to be corrupt, Zhuxia will directly raze the three clans!

What Zhu Xia believes in is that when the cost of corruption is higher than the benefits obtained from corruption, even the most greedy person must think twice before embezzlement!

Therefore, his purpose from the beginning was not the land of Zhuangguo, but his resources, wealth, population, and even talents!

Feed the Han Kingdom with the resources of Zhuangguo! Expand the Han Kingdom with the resources of Zhuangguo!

The Han Kingdom will surely be reborn with the corpse of Zhuang Guo!

Moreover, the Han State also needs the Zhuang State to continue to serve as a northern barrier, which is used to resist the troops of the Feng State, the Wen State, and the Hu people, and win a good opportunity for the Han State to develop!

Zhang Liao in the tent listened to Zhu Xia's inquiry, and said without thinking: "Zhong Cheng, that Zhuangguo envoy, this person ...... It is most appropriate to know the current affairs and start with him! ”

Zhu Xia naturally knew what Zhang Liao meant by "knowing the current affairs", and it could be seen that Zhang Liao hated this person very much, but as the governor of the Han Kingdom, he naturally couldn't treat things with his own likes and dislikes, which made him very happy.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Yuan Shao was under a bunch of strategists who looked at things according to their likes and dislikes, which led to the dust of the two great talents of Frustration and Tian Feng, and finally pitted Yuan Shao himself!

Zhu Xia groaned slightly, nodded and said, "It's okay, meet him first, we were able to set up an ambush this time, and it is really thanks to this person."

Zhang Liao walked out of the tent and personally went to the temporary prison to pick up people!

And at this moment, since Zhong Cheng was imprisoned together by Zhang Liao and Yu Ping, he has not stopped for a few hours!

Yu Ping is not like an ordinary soldier, he is full of physical strength, as soon as he saw Zhong Cheng being imprisoned, along the way, all kinds of vicious curses and cruel threats, all kinds of cynicism, never stopped!

If Zhong Cheng was still a little guilty before, then now he is calm, he knows that he can no longer return to Zhuangguo, especially after Lu Feng and Yu Ping were arrested, and suffered such a stain that cannot be washed away for a lifetime.

More than 650 soldiers were defeated by 300 soldiers of the other side, and the generals were wiped out, which is simply a shame! Double the difference in troops, no matter how you look at it, it is a war that is guaranteed to be won, and it was forced to be pitted by Zhong Cheng!

When Zhang Liao came to mention someone, Zhong Cheng followed without saying a word, he really didn't want to stay here anymore, on the other hand, he also needed to find a new way out for himself!

And this way out is undoubtedly the Han Kingdom!

Especially after the Han Kingdom defeated these more than 600 Zhuang soldiers, he became more and more sure!

As soon as he entered the big tent, Zhong Cheng crawled at the feet of Zhu Xia, paused, paused, paused, and shouted: "Seeing the power of the king, the guilty minister suddenly woke up, and begged the king to be magnanimous and forgive the guilty minister, and the guilty minister is willing to die for the king."

“……”

Zhu Xia was drinking water, and when he heard this, he almost squirted out, and glanced at Zhang Liao a little speechlessly, but this person knew each other so well, but it saved a little effort. Zhu Xia pondered for a moment and said: "You abandoned the darkness in time and turned to the light, and you have also made a contribution to the Han Dynasty, forgive you for your innocence, you should get up!"

Zhong Cheng hurriedly got up "grateful", saluted respectfully, and said, "Thank you!" The minister will serve the king! ”

"Alone you are a third-class deacon of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in charge of the diplomacy of a county, and you will be promoted again in the future!" Zhu Xia thought for a while, at present, there is a shortage of talents in the Han Kingdom, although Zhong Cheng's intelligence is only 5 points, and he can't even take charge of a county's diplomacy, but in order to give Zhong Cheng a little sweetness, he still gave him the position of third-class deacon.

In the Ministry of Foreign Affairs expected by Zhuxia, there are ministers (vice ministers), sacrificial wine, deacons of the first to third ranks, assistants of the first to third ranks, and miscellaneous officials, these nine ranks!

The position of third-class deacon for Zhong Cheng is really preferential!

No matter how bad Zhong Cheng's virtue is, he is now a lonely minister after all, and no one in the countries will use a traitor, only Zhu Xia! Only Zhu Xia has the courage to use him! It was also his only option.

Sure enough, when he heard Zhu Xia's appointment, Zhong Cheng suddenly showed great joy on his face, and hurriedly said: "Xie Junshang, the ministers will live up to their trust!"

"Zhong Qing, I don't know if you know anything about the three of Zhuang Guo? Who will throw their votes on us? And how can they prove their loyalty? And, how their cronies in the army will work out! After Zhu Xia finished thanking him, he asked three questions in a row.

Beads of sweat suddenly appeared on Zhong Cheng's forehead, these four questions are obviously a vote, because these four questions are dirty work, completely offending the upper echelons of Zhuang Guo!

But he knows very well that if he dares to say the word "no", he will definitely end up miserable, don't look at Zhu Xia's reuse of him in the last second, it seems that he trusts him very much, in fact, Zhang Liao on the side has always been in front of Zhu Xia intentionally or unintentionally, he dares to make the slightest move, Zhang Liao will definitely abolish him!

And he has already offended Zhuang Guo and betrayed Zhuang Guo, so he must have the consciousness of doing dirty work!

Zhong Cheng gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, these three people, Lu Feng is the key, he is the eldest grandson of Zhuang Guo, he is the most unlikely to betray, secondly, General Yu, his family is a family of 10,000 mu, and it is unlikely to betray Zhuang Guo......

Only that, Mr. Luo, his family is in the middle of the road, and he learned the military book by chance, but his father in order to improve the environment, from a lowly businessman, even if he entered a prominent family, but he has never been allowed to reuse, and he has no heirs so far, he has the best chance. ”

"If they are willing to surrender, how can their loyalty be assured?" Zhu Xia smiled and asked again, looking extremely patient.

“…… The only way to ensure their loyalty is ...... Only ......"

"Only what?" Zhu Xia leaned forward and listened.

"Only by letting them kill Lu Feng can they cut off their back road." As soon as these words were said, Zhong Cheng was suddenly deflated and listless.
