Zu Zhao wanted to get up, but unexpectedly woke up Chen Yuanyuan, who was lying in the same room, and the two eyes collided, and their eyes aroused a burst of passion when they looked at each other. Chen Yuanyuan's face turned red instantly, he hurriedly shifted his gaze, and after being stunned for a moment, he got up and stood beside the bed in a daze.

When Zu Zhao saw it, he coughed lightly, and got out of bed, seeing that each other's clothes were well dressed, he estimated that maybe nothing really happened last night, and asked, "Last night, nothing happened to the two of us, right?" ”

As soon as he asked, Chen Yuanyuan blushed even more, and said shyly: "The adults are drunk, and they sleep with their arms around the slave, nothing has happened." Her tone was extremely elegant, it was comfortable to listen to, and with the shyness on her face, Zu Zhao couldn't help but feel excited, and secretly thought that sooner or later I would do you, but not now.

After Chen Yuanyuan said a few words to him, he turned around and went out to pour water for him, and then served him to wash his face. Zu Zhao saw that she was considerate to the human body, and liked it very much in his heart, and he thought that she really let her be bedded in the Qinglou, it was really a waste of a good flower, so she should be kept by her side in the future, and if she wants to spoil it, she should be spoiled by herself, and she can't be cheapened by others.

Chen Yuanyuan saw that Zu Zhao's face was a little strange, and hurriedly asked what was going on, did he make him uncomfortable. Only then did Zu Zhao come back to his senses after YY and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm just thinking about something." Although she said this, she was thinking in her heart that her such a shy and beautiful appearance, coupled with the seductive temperament of a pure woman she exuded, really made me feel a little uncomfortable.

As for what he was doing, he didn't plan to say, and Zu Zhao and the others didn't plan to ask, everyone's privacy should still be left to others, if you pay too much attention to his every move now, it may bring disgust to Chen Youzhi.

And at this moment, there are already a sea of people inside and outside the inn, everyone is carrying big bags and small bags, many people should be pushing the cart and leading the horse to wait outside, they are all leaving here with Chen Youzhi, many people are people who have no fixed farmland here, so they decided to leave here with Chen Youzhi, it is rare to meet a good county order, they don't want to suffer here next.

Zu Zhao saw that so many people were willing to follow Chen Youzhi and go with him, and he was even more interested in Chen Youzhi in his heart, and after eating, they each prepared some materials needed for the road in the city, so the team set off in a mighty way. Everyone stayed day and night, nothing happened all the way, and they returned to Youzhou safely. And those people who followed them also stayed in a county town they entered, because now Zu Zhao has no right to appoint Chen Youzhi to any official position, so naturally he can't control those people.

However, Zu Zhao has some fame in all the counties and counties of Youzhou, and he doesn't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, and the county order in the county is naturally a station arranged for the people who follow him, and he also promised to help these people with all his might, so that they can settle down as soon as possible.

As soon as he returned to Youzhou, before he had time to do some rest, Zu Zhao was immediately recruited by the state pastor, saying that after his recommendation, the county guard of Liaodong County agreed to let Zu Zhao be the main bookkeeper and fully assist the county keeper. Zu Zhao was very surprised when he heard the news, he arrived in Liaodong County, isn't this just what he has always been, and he was directly promoted to the head of Liaodong County, and then it is much more convenient for his own development.

After thanking the state pastor, Zu Zhao went home and told his grandfather Zu Ju the news, and Zu Ju learned that Zu Zhao was elected as the head of Liaodong County, and he was also very happy, and sighed that his Zhao'er had the ability to become a great weapon in the future. Zu Zhao secretly replied in his heart, of course it will be a big thing, his wish is to dominate the world, and he is not just satisfied with being a small Liaodong County master and stops.

After discussing with their grandfather, they decided to move their family to Liaodong County. And this time, Ma Yuan, Su De and Chen Youzhi, as well as Chen Yuanyuan's granddaughter brought back by Zu Zhao, naturally followed them. The group arrived in Liaodong County, and after everyone settled down temporarily, Zu Zhao went to see Liu Zhen, the guard of Liaodong County, alone.

This Liu Zhen has royal blood, but the older generation was defeated in a series of palace fights later, but fortunately he did not fall into the situation of being all killed, but he has been suppressed. Fortunately, Liu Zhen is also angry, he has been working hard, and with talent, he will naturally be appreciated. In the past, he had repeatedly made military exploits in the crusade against the Yellow Turbans, so now he is sitting on the post of county guard of Liaodong County, which can be regarded as a worthy disgrace of his reputation as a descendant of the royal family.

Zu Zhao sent someone to greet the county guard in advance, saying that he would meet the county guard at a certain time and day. This is also a matter of etiquette, not too abrupt and reckless. At the appointed date, after some briefing, Zu Zhao finally met with the county guard. The county guard had some friendship with Lu Zhi, Huangpu Song and others, and had heard from them about Zu Zhao's various heroic deeds of resisting the Yellow Turban thieves. I finally looked forward to Zu Zhao today, and I was a little excited in my heart.

"Liechen meets the county guard." Zu Zhao saw Liu Zhen, the county guard, and immediately bowed, he usually gave people the impression of an elegant scholar, but he did things with the arrogant style of a white person, so everyone praised him well. In today's parlance, it's to enter the kitchen and enter the hall.

"Liechen, please hurry up, it's really my luck to have your help." Liu Zhen hurriedly helped Zu Zhao up and invited him to sit together. Zu Zhao entered the house only to find that it was full of people, and when they came in, everyone got up and saluted the county guard, and at the same time looked at Zu Zhao with respect.

Zu Zhao understands that these are the auxiliary officers of the county guard, and the county guard wants him to know each other with everyone. In this way, everyone works together, and they are familiar with each other's respective situations and duties earlier, and they can work better when they are working early. Now in troubled times, there are unpredictable things happening every day, and with precautions, it will not be embarrassing to not even know who to find to be responsible at the moment of clenching.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to introduce to you, this is the ancestor of the ancestor who trusts me as the chief of Liaodong County, he is a person with outstanding military merits, and he is appreciated by many people, and now he is here to serve in my Liaodong County, which is really a great blessing for my Liaodong County." Liu Zhen introduced to the people present.

When everyone heard this, they got up and greeted Zu Zhao one after another, and said some good things in their mouths, saying that they were young and talented, talented, talented, and so on. Zu Zhao knew that this was the praise of officialdom, these people met him for the first time, and they didn't know their true ability, they had been working here for so many years, and suddenly a young man came to become their boss, if they really admired it in their hearts, it was impossible.

However, Zu Zhao knew that although most of their words were vain, they were very useful in their hearts, although they were not fluttering, but they were not cold and pretending to be B in front of them. However, he naturally has the modesty that he should have, and for those who speak too much, he will naturally laugh at himself and humble himself, which has left a better influence on everyone and the county guard, and feels that he is indeed a very good person.

But Zu Zhao found that when everyone was enthusiastic, there was only one person who was lukewarm about it, and didn't seem to take Zu Zhao very seriously. It turned out that this person was Jiang Yan, the governor of Liaodong County, who was in charge of military affairs here. has been working in Liaodong County for many years, and it can be regarded as following Liu Zhennan to fight in the north for many years. He heard that Zu Zhao was also a person who could fight well, and he was called a "martyr", he thought he was a great character, but now that he saw it, it turned out to be such a white-faced young man, and he was suddenly a little unconvinced.

Liu Zhen, the county guard, naturally saw Jiang Yan's displeased attitude towards Zu Zhao, he was a favorite general who had followed him for many years, and he didn't want to blame him. Zu Zhao didn't want to reason with him here, after all, he couldn't do it to the point where everyone was respectful now, in the vast land, there were many talents, and there were countless talents and martial arts above him, and Zhuge Liang didn't trust him much before and after he came out of the mountain. And his current talent is less than one-tenth of Zhuge and others, and it is not a big deal not to be treated.

However, Zu Zhao knew one thing in his heart, he came to this world with a golden finger and a plug-in, and he couldn't be clearer about all their trends and the development of the situation in the future, if he couldn't fight them like this, it would be really too incompetent.

Who expected that Zu Zhao would not worry about him, but Jiang Yan would have to deal with Zu Zhao, he slowly got up and asked: "Su asked the master to be brave and good at fighting, I have a question I want to ask for advice today, and I also ask the master to give advice." ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but sigh, isn't this obviously trying to embarrass Zu Zhao. The county guard Liu was also a little unhappy in his heart, this is the person recommended by the state pastor, if the state pastor knew that he was suffering from difficulties in the county, he would definitely be unhappy, he is now on the occasion of promotion, but don't miss his big thing because of a little thing. Originally, the county guard wanted to stop Jiang Yan's troubles, but Zu Zhao smiled at the face, asked the county guard not to worry too much, and said loudly: "Everyone is a colleague, and they work together for the county guard, and at the same time, they can be regarded as doing things for the country. I don't know what the Captain has to teach you. ”

Jiang Yan smiled coldly and said, "I don't dare to teach you, I ask Lord Shu. ”

Zu Zhao said: "Ask for advice or give advice, but it doesn't hurt to mention it, if the martyr can answer, he will answer, if not, there are so many colleagues sitting here, everyone will study together, and they will definitely be able to get along with each other." "He can pull what he is doing in the past, in fact, he wants to isolate Jiang Yan intentionally or unintentionally, and he also gives himself a step down, who knows what weird and tricky things this lieutenant will propose.

"I've heard that Lord Bookkeeper has defeated the Yellow Turban Thief many times with fewer victories. Now my Liaodong County belongs to a remote county, and I often find the invasion of thieves and other invasions of satisfying forces, but the army in the county has not increased, if there are suddenly tens of thousands of troops besieging my Liaodong County, may I ask the Lord Bookkeeper, what can you do to solve this crisis? Du Wei Jiang Yan asked coldly.

Zu Zhao couldn't help but groan in his heart, this guy really wants to embarrass himself, this is a simple offensive and defensive problem, it is not a difficult matter, but first find out how many troops are available in the county, and how long the grain and grass reserves in it can last. If he blindly says the measures if he doesn't know this, then he will definitely misrepresent the data he needs to deliberately make things difficult for himself, so that he will change his strategy again and again.

Zu Zhao smiled and asked, "Before that, I want to ask, how many tens of thousands of thieves are in the mouth of Du Wei?" ”

Jiang Yan smiled coldly, and said impatiently: "Let's count it as 50,000, if you go to other people, will it be easy for people to know how many troops you have brought with you?" ”

As soon as he said this, everyone present couldn't help but smile, and Jiang Yan was also proud. Zu Zhaowu shook his head and smiled with them, thinking that this lieutenant was really not simple, he found his own speech loophole so quickly, it seems that he will really make things difficult for himself.

"The Lieutenant has a point. However, the thieves are coming, they will not be silent, when they step into the territory of Liaodong County, our spies will definitely be able to detect some information, if they really don't notice it at all, then the people we raise are really useless, which can only show that we are stupid and incompetent as leaders, and we are not good at employing people. There is a way for a soldier to instigate one, and he will instigate a nest. Zu Zhao said humbly.

Everyone couldn't hear his last two sentences, and some people asked what they meant before Jiang Yan. As soon as Zu Zhao was stunned in his heart, he knew that you didn't know, I am now for you, but the great prophet of the great prophet who has known for thousands of years, wants to fight with me, and you are still a little tender. Explains:

That is to say, if a soldier is incompetent, it may be that he is incompetent alone, but if the general is incompetent, then all the soldiers under him are also incompetent. Just ask a person of insight who would be willing to follow such a wretched general, if he can't make meritorious contributions, if he makes a wrong decision and loses his life, it will be too unworthy. ”

Hearing him say this, the lieutenant adjutant didn't dare to laugh anymore, and all nodded secretly to express his admiration, what he said was indeed right, there are no dogs in the gate, this is what they all know, a good general can bring a remnant army into an elite army, and an incompetent general, an elite army handed over to him, can only let those soldiers die in vain.

"Lord Bookkeeper, please don't talk about him left and right, and answer my questions head-on." Jiang Yan said very unhappily.

Zu Zhao said: "I am indeed answering the question of the captain, the art of war, knowing oneself and knowing that the other side will win all battles, if there are thieves to attack, we will naturally not blindly attack to meet the enemy, and we can only take corresponding measures after we have a clear score." Before officially answering the question of the lieutenant, I would also like to ask, how many soldiers and horses are available in our army? ”

"Less than 10,000." Jiang Yan replied very quickly.

"How much is less than 10,000? Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine? Zu Zhao asked deliberately.

Jiang Yan was so angry that his eyes widened, his fists clenched, and he said, "Seven thousand." ”

The county guard coughed twice, and said in Zu Zhao's ear: "My Liaodong County is indeed less than 7,000 troops now, and due to the war, the people here are fleeing to death, and it is difficult to find strong men to fill the army." ”

Zu Zhao nodded, but he was thinking in his heart: "This shows that you are not smart enough, whether you can recruit strong men to join the army, it is not that you can recruit them, there is not enough encouragement, who would be willing to pin your head to the waistband and fight with you, there are old and young people in other families, if you die in battle, there is no one to support the old and young in the family, how can this work." ”

"Then may I ask how much grain and grass there is in Liaodong County now, and if the soldiers and civilians in the city choose to defend to the death, how long can they maintain it in a state of concealment?" Zu Zhaowen.

"Full?" Jiang Yan looked at Zu Zhao puzzled, he didn't know what he was talking about, so he naturally didn't know how to answer, and the county guard and other adjutants also had the same questions.

Zu Zhao smiled slightly and replied: "It is to maintain the good condition of the soldiers, so that they will not lose their combat effectiveness due to starvation, that is, their combat effectiveness must be in the strongest state." After saying that, he couldn't help but think to himself: It's trouble to communicate with you people, this is easy to explain, if you encounter those words that can only be understood and cannot be spoken, how can you let me explain it to you.

The lieutenant replied, "It can't last for a month." ”

Zu Zhao nodded secretly, although it seemed that the lieutenant was deliberately trying to make things difficult for him, but now it gave him an understanding of the armaments here in advance, and he also had a clue to deal with these materials after he officially took office, and knew a priority.

Zu Zhao replied: "Since this is the case, we can't easily send troops to meet the enemy, we have to defend the city to the death first. The thieves came all the way, all the way tired, and their mental state was naturally not as good as our sergeants, if they attacked immediately, although we only had less than 7,000 men and horses, but with the help of our defensive tools, it would not be easy for them to easily attack the city. And during this period, we can send a team of men and horses to break out and ask for reinforcements in other places, as long as we can hold on for half a month, when the reinforcements come, we can naturally repel the enemy. ”

Du Wei sneered: "What Lord Master said lightly, the enemy is tens of thousands of people, how can you easily break through." I'm afraid that before I can rush to their camp, I have been killed by random arrows. ”

Zu Zhao said quietly: "What if we go out under the banner of peace? When thieves come to attack, they are naturally happy to be able to win the city without a fight. ”

"Summation? You can tell you that you actually sued for peace with the thief, and we can't afford this kind of crime. Jiang Yan said loudly, quite insulting and contemptuous, and the other adjutants were also talking about each other, but the county guard was silent, he knew that what Zu Zhao said was not really to make peace, he was waiting for Zu Zhao to say the following words.

Zu Zhao said: "We are not really seeking peace, but fake peace, so that they can relax their vigilance. ”

"Do you think the enemy will not know about your tricks? Besides, if you send people out to sue for peace, they will definitely choose to directly let you open the door and surrender, and how can there be any chance for you to go out and move the rescue troops? Jiang Yan said.

Zu Zhao laughed and said: "This is naturally not as simple as going out directly, it should be a good show for the enemy to show them, and let them know that there are contradictions between our internal generals." ”
