Chapter 113: Resentment
Soon after Zhang Liao left, Zhang Xiang wrote a recruitment letter to the Zhang family in Mayi, which did not mention any names, but only hinted at the relationship between Zhang Xiang and Zhang Liao, and recruited five children of the Zhang family to serve as minor officials in the county.
Zhang Xiang is the guardian of a county, and he already has the power to recruit local whites for his own use, in fact, Zhang Xiang's county guard can be said to be the emperor of a place, which is why the princes of the late Han Dynasty are also the relationship of the guardian of a county.
It is that they have absolute power in the local area, and the collection of taxes and personnel promotions are all said by the county guard, if Zhang Xiang is not located in the state, there must be many big clans vying to get in touch with Zhang Xiang at this time.
Zhang Liao's father Zhang Shu received a letter from Zhang Xiang, and almost jumped up after seeing the letter, recruiting five descendants of the family as small officials.
Zhang Liao also served as a county official, and later because he admired Lu Bu, he went to the army as an official, so Zhang Shu also had a lot of complaints, and his status as a sergeant in Bingzhou was not as beautiful as that of a county official.
At the beginning, Zhang Shu spent a lot of effort to become a county official for Zhang Liao, but he didn't expect that because there were five county officials in Zhang Xiang's family, they were courteous and either traitorous or thieves, and Zhang Shu understood this truth.
Zhang Shu also knew that the relationship between Zhang Xiang and the Ziche family had reached the point of tension, and Zhang Xiang would inevitably have the intention of wooing the Zhang family by doing this, but Zhang Xiang's capital was too sufficient.
It was enough that Zhang Shu couldn't refuse, the entire Zhang family wanted to restore the old glory, and the five county officials could let the Zhang family get some prestige in the place, and the Zhang family didn't intend to gamble on Zhang Xiang.
If this opportunity is lost, the Zhang family really has no hope of turning over. Zhang Shu wrote a letter to Zhang Liao when he was selecting the children of the family, telling him about Zhang Xiang.
Soon after, Zhang Liao also received a letter, which made Zhang Liao very comforted. Because he was already very unhappy with his father as a soldier, Zhang Xiang helped him a lot this time, and a trace of dissatisfaction with Zhang Xiang disappeared.
In fact, when Zhang Liao returned to Jinyang, he received some punishments, after all, he lost more than half of the battle defeat, and Zhang Liao did not say that part of the cavalry was taken away by Zhang Xiang, and he carried this black pot with all his might.
It wasn't Lu Bu who punished him. After all, Zhang Xiang's box of money also played a role, and it was Ding Yuan who punished him, and Lu Bu also defended Zhang Liao. But the more he justified Ding Yuan's punishment, the more ruthless he became.
In the end, Zhang Liao was able to receive his own punishment, and his father's letter also made him feel that this crime was worth it, although the Zhang family declined, but there were dozens of children and grandchildren of the same generation as Zhang Liao.
The number of county officials is only five. Say more, say less, say less. The peers have broken their heads, if it weren't for Zhang Shu coming forward in the end, I don't know how long this battle would last?
Zhang Shu taught the children and grandchildren of the Zhang family, "Look at what you look like, you fought for the position of a county official, Zhang Xiang's family sat on the position of the county guard first, and they all relied on their own knives and guns to fight out, this time our Zhang family was recruited, Zhang Xiang looked at the face of you and my son Zhang Liao." Look at your virtues, will Zhang Xiang take a fancy to you? Outside is not as good as at home, Zhang Xiang is from the battlefield and has no rules. I don't care who gets these five places in the end, but you don't want to lose the face of the Zhang family after remembering that we are Nie Yi. ”
After Zhang Shu said this, he didn't care about them anymore, and the next day five Zhang family children went to Yanmen County together, and some of them had blue noses and swollen faces, obviously Zhang Shu's words didn't have much effect, and last night was not very peaceful.
When Zhang Xiang saw these five people, he was also very satisfied, three of these five boys were martial artists, and they were all placed by Zhang Xiang in the army to become a hundred generals, and the other two who studied literature were also put in the county as officials.
Zhang Xiang promised Zhang Liao that he had done it, Zhang Xiang had been waiting for the back hand of the Ziche family, but the Ziche family was slow to move, and Zhang Xiang had no choice but to send a large number of spies to monitor.
The others can only wait, after all, it is not the time to fight head-on with the Ziche family, and Zhang Xiang can't move if the enemy doesn't move, after all, there are a lot of trivial things to do in the county, and Hang is too busy with the same person.
Zhang Xiang can only play in person, Hangtong can manage a county, but dealing with the affairs of the county is a bit disorderly, it seems that Hangtong's qualifications are still insufficient! Zhang Xiang was inevitably a little disappointed.
Yang Xu doesn't care, Zhang Xiang can only pounce on a batch of documents, now Zhang Xiang's biggest problem is finance, Zhang Xiang can't sit and eat empty! So Zhang Xiang started his old business gambling again.
Several large gambling houses have been opened, and the county town finally has some popularity, which is still obtained by Zhang Xiang by eating the old bottom, Yanmen County is close to Youzhou, so some caravans in Youzhou are also happy with Zhang Xiang's face.
In order to entertain the caravans, Zhang Xiang found Zheng Ang in Yanmen, Zheng Ang was no longer a butcher at this time, he was the owner of three taverns in Zhuo County, and he came without saying a word when he heard Zhang Xiang looking for him.
Zheng Ang is a straight-hearted person, whoever treats him well will treat others better, Zhang Xiang has the grace of reinvention for his Zheng family, Zhang Xiang will do his best to do what he says, Zheng Ang is born to sell dog meat.
And there are not so many dogs in Bingzhou, there are a lot of wolves, but wolf meat is not delicious! Zhang Xiang had no choice but to get a lot of sheep from the Wuheng people through Tieheng's relationship, and Zheng Ang sold mutton skewers.
Every day, there are a lot of people who come to smell the fragrance in front of the restaurant, and Zhang Xiang can't treat them badly, so that Zheng Ang distributes mutton soup every day, so that the people in the county can drink mutton soup in every household, and Zhang Xiang is more recognized.
The trivial things in the county are always one after another, and water has become a problem, so many people in the Xiang Feijun always have to drink water, and there are not many wells in the county, otherwise Zhang Xiang would not have succeeded so quickly at that time.
Zhang Xiang wanted to be a good official, so naturally he couldn't fight with each other, so he could only dig a new well by himself, and these things were all done by the sappers in the army, and these sappers were all prisoners of Zhang Xiang's past.
These captives knew that they were going to work as coolies, so why didn't they choose to be soldiers in the first place? Seeing his former companions eating and drinking spicy, but doing such a thing himself, he held his breath and said that he must cut off some heads in the next battle to become a soldier of the Xiangfei Army.
The rules of the Xiangfei Army have not changed, as long as they kill three enemies in battle, they can become soldiers, which is also to give these people a little hope, and I don't know if it is Zhang Xiang's good luck.
These sappers actually dug a sweet water well, and the water in the state was a little bitter, but a well dug by these sappers gushed out sweet well water, and the people in the county said that Zhang Xiang was blessed by heaven and man.
At the beginning, there were only a few people who said it, but in the end, there were more and more people, in fact, Zhang Xiang was inevitably adding fuel to the fire, and it was Han Long who did this, Han Long had no status in the army, but he became Zhang Xiang's henchman.
Han Long was born as a bandit, and he didn't pay attention to reputation but to reality, and he was very content to become Zhang Xiang's henchman, so Zhang Xiang also became more and more famous in Bingzhou because of Han Long's ability to do things.
Zhang Xiang sent a large number of spies and was also rewarded, and the Ziche family finally had a move, and the Ziche family contacted several big families who were good friends with it, and wanted to gather to kill Zhang Xiang.
Ziche's family is very blatant this time, Zhang Xiang doesn't have to guess to know that Ding Yuan must be making trouble behind, otherwise these people don't have so much courage, but Ding Yuan is still a little measured in his actions.
Don't let the Ziche family use the power of the Hu people, they can only use their own strength, in Ding Yuan's eyes, whether it is Zhang Xiang or Ziche's family, they are white-eyed wolves, they can't be fed no matter how they are fed, and they are willing to watch the two dogs eat dogs.
Ding Yuan's intentions are not known, but since the Ziche family wants to get the territory of Yanmen, they must pass this pass, there is no second way to go, and every family's happiness is like this, which is the law of eternity.
Big fish eat small fish, if a small fish wants to become a big fish, they have to rely on the big fish to devour other small fish, and in the eyes of the Ziche family, Zhang Xiang is the small fish that makes them big fish, and the Ziche family must eat it.
Ziche's family thought very well, but Zhang Xiang didn't want to eat them, since the two sides did not give in to each other, in the end they could only solve it with blood, a big battle in Yanmen.
This battle can not be avoided only with real swords and real guns, and at this time, the essence of the Ziche family came out, and several families gathered 30,000 soldiers in an instant, and they all had seen blood.
The coalition army of the Ziche family brazenly rushed towards the county town of Yanmen, Zhang Xiang knew that the time for a decisive battle had come, as long as he won this battle, Zhang Xiang would carp and jump into the dragon gate and become the real emperor of Yanmen.
Zhang Xiang didn't dare to say if the Ziche family was unruly, but he didn't want to follow the rules, Zhang Xiang planned to use the Wuheng people to attack the Ziche family's lair, who let your Ziche family be on the border?
Even if the Wuheng people attacked, it was expected that the old man of Ding Yuan would not be able to rely on his head, and on the way to Yanmen County, Zhang Xiang adopted the strategy of attacking, because the cavalry of the Ziche family was not vegetarian.
The cavalry of the Xiangfei Army can only attack with their voices from afar, in short, they are not allowed to sleep a little peacefully, this is Yang Mou, no matter any famous general, will be affected, and the Ziche family is no exception.
Ziche's coalition army was finally about to reach the boundary of Yanmen County, and Ziche was also relieved, at least he hadn't slept a good night's sleep along the way, and he was helpless when he saw that he had lost a few pounds.
Ziche Luo hated Zhang Xiang very much, but there was one person in the coalition who must hate Zhang Xiang even more, that is, Zi Che Lin, because Zi Che Lin failed in the last operation, and his position in the family was in jeopardy.
The cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods that he didn't look down on before all jumped out one after another, competing with him for the position of heir, and the most unexpected thing for Zi Chelin was that Zi Cheran also jumped out, very much of his own face as a big brother.
Zi Chelin also wanted to keep his position through this battle, so he especially wanted to kill Zhang Xiang, he couldn't wait to eat his flesh and drink his blood, and it was difficult to eliminate the resentment in his heart, if it wasn't for Zhang Xiang, he wouldn't be in his current situation.
