Chapter 145: The old pawn hurts Zhang Xiang's anger
Cotton temporarily became Zhang Xiang's cash cow, so Zhang Xiang piled up a large amount of cotton, and when he saw that the cotton was about to become money, a sudden fire burned the cotton.
It's not strange that someone would retaliate against Zhang Xiang, after all, Zhang Xiang can sit in the current position, his hands are full of blood, and it is normal to have a few enemies, but the blame is that they actually succeeded.
Zhang Xiang didn't get any news at all, and the guards didn't see any outsiders coming in and out, and then it was rumored that Zhang Xiang angered the heavens, causing the heavenly fire to come, and it was rumored that he had a nose and eyes.
It is impossible for Zhang Xiang to believe this nonsense, so the purpose of the rumors is very clear, that is, to prevent Zhang Xiang from continuing to investigate, which means that this kind of thing is likely to be premeditated.
They certainly didn't do it for cotton, cotton was worth a little money, but if it burned out, neither side would get any benefit, what did they want? Zhang Xiang didn't have a clue at all, but Zhang Xiang knew that there must be internal people to cooperate in this matter.
Otherwise, the cotton would not be ignited unconsciously, Zhang Xiang didn't like this passive feeling very much, when this feeling appeared, Zhang Xiang could only have one choice to take the initiative after static braking.
Only by figuring out what is going on can we get a better result, otherwise we will only be led by the enemy, and then we will only lose more, and the cotton will burn up and the caravans will also plan to leave the state.
And these caravans were attacked on the way back, and the attackers were very cruel and left nothing, but they did not seem to have come for money, because the money of the caravan men was not taken.
Many of Zhang Xiang's subordinates are from rogue backgrounds, and Zhang Xiang knows their methods very well. They had robbed caravans before, and they could be said to be cleaner than dogs, although they were now on the right track.
But none of the previous habits have changed. The battlefield they cleaned didn't miss anything at all, but the group of attackers in front of them didn't even take such obvious money.
Zhang Xiang suddenly felt that things were getting more and more interesting. However, Zhang Xiang can be sure that the strength of this group of people who deal with him should not be very strong, otherwise they would not have made these tricks.
He should be on the strong side, Zhang Xiang felt this way for the first time, Zhang Xiang was on the weak side before, so he was very cautious in doing things, trying to avoid head-on confrontation to weaken the enemy by means.
I didn't expect that I would be treated like this one day, I really didn't feel very happy, whether this group of people was burning cotton or robbing caravans, they were creating panic. There's no doubt that they're doing these things well.
The people's hearts of the people in the state were initially determined, and then changed, the people's hearts are the strongest and the most fragile, sometimes he will burst out with strong power, and sometimes he will be hit by some small things.
The people's will may not be so important to others, but it is very important to Zhang Xiang, and he will definitely not sit idly by, so Zhang Xiang took over the matter with his own hands to see who is so bold.
But just when Zhang Xiang took over, the group disappeared mysteriously. As if nothing had happened, Zhang Xiang didn't believe they were just doing it to play tricks on themselves.
There must have been a bigger backhand, and sure enough, something happened a few days later, and it didn't happen in the state. The death happened in Zhang Xiang's hometown of Zhuo County, Youzhou, and Fanhe died at home.
And it was two days ago, and it could reach Zhang Xiang's ears in such a short time. Zhang Xiang knew that this matter must have nothing to do with that group of people, and Zhang Xiang, the old man of the Zhang family, remembered it very clearly.
Otherwise, he would not have been promoted to be the county magistrate of Zhuo County. The point at which they started was very accurate, and it was a place that Zhang Xiang's forces could not reach. Zhang Hao also heard the news and wanted to return to Zhuoxian.
Fanhe is the old man of the Zhang family, and he has a very good relationship with Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao sent him to Zhang Xiang's side because he trusted Fanhe, and Zhang Hao felt very uncomfortable when Fanhe died.
At this time, Zhang Xiang was surrounded by foreign enemies, how could he let Zhang Hao go back, but in the next few days, even Zhang Xiang couldn't sit still, and bad news came out of Zhuo County one after another, and some of the old soldiers of the Xiangfei Army also died after Fanhe's death.
These people followed Zhang Xiang from birth to death, and chose to stay in Zhuo County for various reasons, Zhang Xiang didn't blame them, everyone has their own way, and he can't force it.
So before they left, Zhang Xiang left them a sum of money, many of them were disabled and could not stand on their own, and Zhang Xiang could not treat them badly, they were not only Zhang Xiang's subordinates, but also Zhang Xiang's fellow villagers.
The sudden death of these people was Zhang Xiang's anger, he could endure the assassination and framing, Zhang Xiang thought that there would be these when he walked on this road of no return, so Zhang Xiang desperately protected his family and prevented them from being harmed.
But those disabled veterans are not Zhang Xiang's family! Zhang Xiang knew that he should go out for a walk, even if he knew that there was an enemy waiting for him in front of him, Zhang Xiang had to break through.
Zhang Xiang will not be blindly impulsive, and wrote a letter to Gongsun Zan Zou Jing before leaving the state, Gongsun Zan owes himself a favor under the Tiger Prison, and he will not watch with his right hand if Zhang Xiang has something.
Zou Jing and Zhang Xiang are also old friends, and they are also happy to help Zhang Xiang, there are now two forces in Youzhou, the state pastor Liu Yu and the white horse general Gongsun Zhan, Zou Jing is Liu Yu's person, and Zhang Xiang, the two major forces in Youzhou, have said hello.
As long as Zhang Xiang does not face mortal danger, there should be no problem with his own safety, and he is ready for these Zhang Xiang to take five hundred soldiers on the road, after all, Youzhou is not a merger, and bringing too many people will cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
There can be no major changes in the generals on the side of Bingzhou, Zhang Xiang only brought Zhang Fei alone, and there is Han Juzi, a new person who has taken refuge, during this period of time, through Zhang Xiang's own observation, Han Juzi's force is not weaker than Zhao Rui, and it should come in handy.
In addition to a Lai Ke, his father is a local snake in Zhuo County, and it is easy to do things with him, Lai Ke is now also a rare young general in the Xiangfei Army, Yang Xu and Cheng Yu did not agree at the beginning.
But Zhang Xiang insisted on going his own way, and they didn't have much to do, so in the end it was decided that Cheng Yu would also follow, so Zhang Xiang added a Cheng Yu at the end and went on the road, and Zhang Xiang walked through the road from the state to Youzhou very familiar.
Zhang Xiang is a person who went out of Youzhou, so since entering Youzhou, no one has come to find trouble, but there are many people who are willing to take refuge in Zhang Xiang, Zhang Xiang can only write a letter to them and ask them to go to the state on their own.
These people got Zhang Xiang's letter as if they had received a treasure, and they respected Zhang Xiang very much, and some people also asked Zhang Xiang if he wanted to follow the dispatch, but in the end Zhang Xiang rejected them one by one, and one more person around him would be more risky.
Zhang Xiang didn't have that time to tell whether these people were true or false, so he could only understand the kindness of these people, and when he heard Zhang Xiang's refusal, these people were a little disappointed, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be by Zhang Xiang's side!
These people are not stupid, once Zhang Xiang returns to Bingzhou, it will be difficult for these people to follow them, so many people secretly follow Zhang Xiang's surroundings, and the guards around Zhang Xiang have long been aware of these people.
But these people don't have any bad intentions, and Zhang Xiang can't drive them away, so he can only let them follow them all the way, so that Zhang Xiang can't tell which ones are spies?
Zhang Xiang was sure that the spies must be mixed in with these people, and Zhang Xiang did not choose to march in a hurry along the way, he knew that since someone was plotting against him behind his back, he had to be vigilant at all times.
The load on the body of the rapid march is too great, even the elite will be unbearable, Zhang Xiang does not want to waste a trace of physical strength, but Zhang Xiang has not noticed any movement of the enemy for two or three days after entering Youzhou.
The more they can endure, Zhang Xiang feels that these people are not ordinary, Zhang Xiang is now in Pingshu County, which is under the jurisdiction of Dai County, and when the Pingshu County Commander knew that Zhang Xiang was coming, he almost gave up his mansion to Zhang Xiang to live in.
It's not that Zhang Xiang hasn't seen people who deliberately stammer, but he just doesn't like to deal with these people, so Zhang Xiang lives in a post house, and Pingshu's post house is really a bit similar to Jinyang's post house.
Zhang Xiang didn't care, it's better than living in the wild! Just when Zhang Xiang was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard movement outside, and when he went out, he saw that it was Han Juzi who had caught someone.
Han Juzi is Han Qiong's clansman, so he is a bit of a one-sided person, and when he saw Zhang Xiang come out, "Lord, I found this person sneakily in the backyard and wanted to climb over the wall to enter, so he specially captured him and dealt with it by the lord." ”
After this person saw Zhang Xiang, "The general is wronged!" I just wanted to come in and steal something to eat, I never thought that it was the villain's fault that the adults disturbed you here, please spare the villain's life! "Are you a native of Pingshu?" Zhang Xiang asked just to confirm that it was okay, what this person said just now could not withstand scrutiny at all, if it was a local, how could he not know that there was nothing in the post house, and besides, he was not blind, couldn't he see that Zhang Xiang was not easy to mess with as a soldier? "I'm a local, and I have a neighbor here who can testify for me." Zhang Xiang asked Han Juzi to immediately send someone to catch someone who knew this person, and he would rather catch a mistake than let a person go.
Zhang Xiang looked at the captured man, "Do you think I will believe what you say?" You're clever enough to hurt your own people, so wait for your companions to be caught! “
This person suddenly showed great excitement, and wanted to attack Zhang Xiang but was unfortunately held back by the guards, but Zhang Xiang was more excited than him, and punched and kicked this person until he vented the anger in his heart.
These days these people have not moved at all, Zhang Xiang is very calm on the surface, but there is no bottom in his heart, this time there is a little flaw, so that Zhang Xiang can finally speak, this person was finally handed over to Lai Ke to deal with, Lai Ke grew up with his father Lai San, so he has been exposed to torture, and Zhang Xiang is the only one who is the most suitable by his side.
