Zu Zhao and Feng Luoxue came to the lobby, and one of them brought the soldiers who were already waiting there, and when they saw that they had come out, they hurriedly saluted and said hello, saying that they had something important to report. Zu Zhao hurriedly asked what was the matter, he still cared very much in his heart, and suddenly encountered such a thing, so he couldn't help but be in a hurry.

"Report to the general, we have been lurking in prison according to your instructions, and we have been fine, but until dawn today, someone went in to visit those two people, who are the waist cards of the Chinese army headquarters." The soldier said.

"The waist card of the Chinese army headquarters?" Zu Zhao and Feng Luoxue couldn't help but glance at each other and shouted in unison, isn't this the waist card of the Zhanggong Department, is it really the inner ghost that is Zhanggong? Zu Zhao's breathing was a little urgent, if it was Zhang Gong, he was afraid that the next thing would not be as simple as punishment or no punishment, because Zhang Gong was the first to follow him, and in order to do things for Zu Zhao more conveniently, he did not choose to move his family here.

Now it seems that either he was actually born with a different heart, so he didn't bring his family, and the second is that as Zu Zhao expected, Zhang Gong's family in Liaodong was controlled by someone to threaten him. In this way, it will be troublesome to solve it in the future, and now I can't have a head-on conflict with other power groups, otherwise even if I win, I will actually lose, which will cause other power groups to look at me, and every move in the future will not escape their eyes, maybe I will really disappear from here at that time, and the three kingdoms will still be three kingdoms at that time, and they will not change because of their arrival.

How could Zu Zhao let such a thing happen, since he came here, naturally God has a certain arrangement, he can't miss this rebirth, he must be careful, step by step, and create his own myth in this troubled world.

"Who went in to see them?" Zu Zhao asked.

The soldier replied, "It's Wen Xiong, the lieutenant general of the commander of the Chinese army, Lord Zhanggong." ”

"Wen Xiong? So what did he say when he went in? Zu Zhao asked.

He said that he was ordered to come to examine those two people, and that the commander of the Chinese army had asked him to come. After the commander of the Chinese army knew that something had happened in the army, he was very worried, so he took a picture to see what was going on. Naturally, we didn't stop him, but let him go in and see it very smoothly. The soldier said.

"Did he say anything to those two people?" Zu Zhao asked.

"Back to the general, Vice General Wen Xiong didn't say anything to them, and it seems that they don't know each other. It's just that after Vice Admiral Wen Xiong went in, he looked at it for a while, and there was nothing wrong with the eyes of each other, and then he asked us, whether the two people who were imprisoned were just grasping the big work, and after we answered yes, he only said that he should take care of it, but nothing could happen, spying on the military intelligence is a serious crime, if they let them have something to do or escape, they will definitely not spare us. The soldier said.

Zu Zhao couldn't help but smile coldly, this Wen Xiong is quite good at talking, but when he went to see the two of them, there was no communication, and they didn't seem to know each other, so to speak, maybe Wen Xiong was just ordered by Zhang Gong to take a look, or he didn't know if Zhang Gong had a problem.

At this moment, another soldier reported and ran in: "Report to the general, the commander of the Chinese army, Zhang Gong, found a carrier pigeon flying out of his house, and it has been shot down by us." ”

Feng Luoxue and Zu Zhao couldn't help but glance at each other, and they didn't think that Wen Xiong went to see people, and the carrier pigeon was really released over there, or Wen Xiong went to see the appearance of the two people, and then told Zhang Gong, Zhang Gong made a judgment based on his appearance, and then reported to the field after determining the information.

"What is written in the letter?" Zu Zhao asked.

The soldier took out a scroll of paper from his waist and handed it to Zu Zhao, saying, "General, the small one doesn't dare to look at it, so I brought it to the general." ”

Zu Zhao nodded, added the paper scroll, and slowly opened it, only to see that it was densely filled with small characters: People have indeed been caught, and I am trying to rescue them. But you can't hurt my family, I'm already sorry for General Zu, if you dare to hurt my family, I will definitely not let you have a good time, the big deal is death.

Looking at the handwriting, it was indeed Zhang Gong's handwriting, but it did not mention who forced him to do this. But looking at this, Zu Zhao understands that his home is in Liaodong County, where there is a conflict with him, Gongsun Du, and he has the ability to dare to be disrespectful to his family members in the army, that is, only he Gongsun Du has this ability.

Although things have come to this point, it has been determined that Zhang Gong is the one who fornicated with foreign enemies, but Zu Zhao still does not intend to bring him to be questioned for his crimes, but just let people watch their family, be sure to keep an eye on Zhang Gong, don't let him mess around, especially if he is emotional, he is likely to do unexpected things. Zu Zhao still has to wait for Zhang Yuan to get news, at this time, Zhang Yuan should have arrived in Liaodong County, what is the situation, he will soon send back a message, when the time comes, Zhang Gong will be arrested, and the important thing is how to protect his family.

Generally speaking, even if Gongsun Du really captures Zhang Gong's family, then it is not difficult for Zhang Yuan to send a team of people to rescue them, but this is directly equivalent to accepting Gongsun Du's challenge, and now it is not the time to completely tear his face with him, after all, he is one of the three major forces in Youzhou, and they are all their Gongsun family.

Zu Zhao deliberately arranged to take care of Zhang Gong and the two people in prison, and he must not let them have something. And the monitoring of Zhang Gong's family can not be relaxed, if a messenger goes out or a carrier pigeon flies out, it must be intercepted, and Gongsun Du must not be allowed to receive the information, otherwise according to Gongsun Du's character, he will definitely come chaotically, and when the time comes, I am afraid that it will harm Zhang Gong's family, Zu Zhao does not want such a tragic thing to happen.

Another day passed, and there was no unusual movement between the two of them in prison, and Zhang Gong did not send anyone to see him again. However, Zhang Gong's home intercepted three carrier pigeons one after another, saying that the guards in prison are very strict at the moment, and it is not easy to rescue them, I hope that the other party will be patient for a while, and when the time is ripe, he will definitely help rescue the person and send him away safely, I hope the other party will not be in a hurry, and must not hurt his family. This is something that Zhang Gong has repeatedly mentioned.

Zu Zhao read the letter and couldn't help but sigh: "Zhang Gong has been fighting with me all these years, and he has never gone home, although almost all of his money has been sent home, but something happened at this moment, he naturally felt ashamed of his family, so he did it." It's really hard for him, if it's me, people threaten me with their families, will I do the same? Maybe. As a general, if you can't even keep your own family, this is the biggest joke in the world, even if you win the world in the future, you will definitely be laughed to death in secret. ”

Zu Zhao decided that after the news from Zhang Yuan's side was confirmed, he would first try to rescue Zhang Gong's family, if the other party was really Gongsun Du, in this case, he would really have to ask Gongsun Chan for help this time, and now he has some dealings with Gongsun Chan, but if he asks for someone, he is afraid that some gold and silver losses will be indispensable. But even so, it is necessary, compared with a loyal general, gold and silver are nothing, if you lose the heart of the army, what is the use of having more gold and silver, and then it will not be robbed by thieves.

In the evening, while Zu Zhao was anxiously waiting, a soldier ran in to report that Zhang Yuan had information from there. Zu Zhao hurriedly took a look, it was indeed the message sent back by Zhang Yuan, he had confirmed that Zhang Gong's family was indeed controlled by Gongsun Du, but it was only controlled in his own home, and he was not caught in the army of the Gongsun family, if he wanted to rescue them, it would not be difficult.

Zu Zhao immediately replied to Zhang Yuan, don't take such measures, now he is in charge of Liaodong County, although in terms of official level, he has the final say in Liaodong County, but a force like Gongsun Du has a historical root in the background of the imperial court, and now he can't do it with him clearly, otherwise he will talk nonsense in the court, and it will not be good for him. Now, he must pretend to be soft, so that Gongsun Du thinks that he does not dare to fight against him, and when the time comes, he will be killed in one fell swoop.

"What are you going to do?" Feng Luoxue asked.

Zu Zhao said: "Now, it is not difficult to kill a Gongsun Du, you can kill him alone." However, it is indeed difficult for us to eradicate his forces, and even if we win him, we will be greatly damaged, and it will make other forces notice us, which will not be good for our future development, so we cannot openly fight against him now. In the past, I didn't give him a good look, because I didn't have to face him directly at that time, and behind me were Uncle Huangfu and Teacher Lu Zhi. But now is a direct confrontation between me and him, he doesn't think about his future, I have to think about my future. So, I decided to ask Gongsun Chan for help. That person likes people to owe him favors the most, and he will definitely help with this little favor, and I give him a lot of benefits, just with him. ”

Feng Luoxue said: "It's okay like this, it's not worth it to fight a villain like Gongsun Du now." So, Gongsun Zhan, do you need me to go? ”

"No, I will go in person, come and show my sincerity, and come and talk to him, see what he thinks of Gongsun Du, and what he thinks of me, now Gongsun Du's peeping on my military situation is not enough to hit me, if Gongsun Chan has an opinion on my recovery, I will have to be more guarded." Zu Zhao said.

"Do you need me to come with you?" Feng Luoxue asked.

"I also hope that you can accompany me, but the reality does not allow it, now Zhang Yuan and Zhang Yu are not here, Zu Ping is not here, Cai Wenji has to look at Quanzhiyu, now you are the only one who can take care of things here, if you are no longer, I don't know what chaos will happen here, so you have to stay here and help me watch everything here." When I get back, I'll reward you. Zu Zhao said.

"How are you going to reward me?" Feng Luoxue asked with a smile.

"You can do whatever you want, can't I let you be tortured all night long?" Zu Zhao said with a smile.

"It's not serious." Feng Luoxue snorted and asked, "So, Gongsun Zhan, what are you going to bring with you?" ”

"I heard that there are thieves in Gongsun Zhan, he is fighting, and food and military pay are a problem, so I suffered a little loss, and sent him some grain and grass over, when he was indifferent, he also had to bring some gold, silver and money, but not for him, but for the people he sent to Liaodong County to talk about things. Also, you can help me prepare some of our economic products and a certain amount of silver, which will be sent to Liaodong County. Zu Zhao said.

Feng Luoxue asked puzzledly, "Sent to Liaodong County?" Do what? ”

Zu Zhao said: "Give Gongsun Du." Seeing that Feng Luoxue's face was strange, he then explained: "Gongsun Du, this villain, this time it won't work, he will find another way, I can only give him some benefits and submit to him, so that he will not interfere with me in the future, and I will always numb his heart, slowly establish his prestige in Liaodong County, develop my power, and let him die when the time comes." ”

Feng Luoxue thought for a while and nodded in agreement with Zu Zhao's opinion. To treat villains is to use the means of treating villains. This is a certainty, and this can have a good effect. The two of them planned for a while, and each prepared their own things.

Everything was ready, Zu Zhao led the team to the location of Gongsun Zhan, and Feng Luoxue also sent him out of his best efforts, so he rode back and arranged for people and horses to send supplies to Liaodong County.
