Chapter 5: Quest (3)

"You ......" Rao had already guessed one or two in advance, and Pan Mei was still frightened by Zheng Ziming's thoughts. After being stunned for a while, he gritted his teeth and added: "You will die sooner or later without a place to bury!"

"Scared?" Zheng Ziming raised his eyebrows and sneered at him.

Pan Mei is two years younger than Zheng Ziming, how can she stand being despised so much. immediately pursed his lips, and replied proudly: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid of a ball! It's a big deal that Lao Tzu will lose this life." It's a name for the dead anyway!"

With that, he quickly realized that he had been tricked. So, he pursed his lips again and added loudly, "You don't have to use any radical tactics with me! Since Pan promised to assist you, he will not give up halfway." With that effort, you might as well think about how you can cope with this difficult situation in front of you. ”

"Let Fan Changshi send a proclamation and recruit talents. If you don't want to study and get rich, you just need to be able to read and write!" Zheng Ziming smiled and quickly gave an unexpected answer.

"Whimsical, a real virtuous person, how can he ignore your list of texts?" Pan Mei was slightly stunned again, and asked with round eyes.

"You don't need to be talented, you just need someone who can write and calculate, and who is willing to do things seriously. Slapping a large piece of territory, what do you need so many virtuous people to do?" Zheng Ziming shook his head and asked with a smile.

"You, you, are you going to govern the place with the way of managing the army?" Pan Mei's eyes instantly doubled again, and her two black eyes almost jumped out of their sockets. "This, how can this be possible?"

"How do you know if you don't try. Anyway, even if it doesn't work out, the result won't be worse than now!" Zheng Ziming slapped the table and replied categorically.

Yes, it's already so bad, what else is there to be afraid of? Pan Mei's eyes lit up instantly, and immediately, a proud smile swelled up on her face.

As Zheng Ziming's military advisor and friend, he has been working hard to plan the future for the Cangzhou Army in recent days. However, no matter how he tossed and turned, he never saw much light.

And today's Zheng Ziming's words are undoubtedly eye-catching. Although she still can't see where the future is, at least, Pan Mei knows where to start.

Since you can't get the support of the gentry and the powerful, you don't want their support. Anyway, those who had strong support from the gentry in the past failed to stop the iron hooves of the Khitans.

If the predecessors have gone down the road, there is no need for future generations to repeat the mistakes of the past. In a different way, maybe the sea and the sky are wide.

What Cangzhou needs most at the moment is not a great sage in the world, nor a famous Confucian forest. It's a down-to-earth person who is willing to work. A person who can carry out all the decrees to the letter. Only by minimizing internal friction and minimizing empty talk can the big guys accumulate strength as quickly as possible and be qualified to plot for the future.

Otherwise, no matter how good Zheng Ziming's reputation is, no matter how 'virtuous' his subordinates are, in the end, it will only be a water moon mirror.

In the minds of young people, there is a lot less experience and sophistication than the older generation, and at the same time, there are also many fewer rules and regulations. At present, the age of all the core figures in Cangzhou is less than twenty years old. Therefore, when Zheng Ziming and Pan Mei discussed and decided on a new governing strategy, they were implemented without encountering any resistance.

At the beginning, he naturally stumbled, and even made Zheng Ziming's reputation in Shilin a little better, but it quickly became as black as ink. But with the passage of time, the efficiency of the Assassin Yamen has become higher and higher day by day. The people's perception of the government continues to improve day by day.

Especially after the summer grain was put into storage, because there was no need to be skinned by the squires in the middle, the grain that the people fell into their hands was significantly more than in previous years. And the grain received in the treasury has also increased by a large margin compared with previous years. This made the words of the gentry more and more unconvincing. And several other weak princes in the vicinity, after seeing the changes in Cangzhou through the eyes of meticulous work, also began to be eager to try the powerful under their rule.

"At this point, it's time for you to go out and take a spin. Let the people below see what the newly appointed Lord Thorn Shi looks like? Is it true that he has to eat and drink every day!" Pan Mei is a very qualified military advisor, and when public opinion among the people has just begun to turn, he immediately proposes that Zheng Ziming take the opportunity to win people's hearts.

Zheng Ziming has been with the case every day for several months, and he also feels very bored. Hearing that Pan Mei was reasonable, she ordered her subordinates to arrange a patrol immediately.

Zhao Kuangyin, Han Chongyun, and Yang Guangyi have been gone for a long time. Tao Dachun, Li Shun'er, Tao Yong, Guo Xin and others were so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground. Therefore, it is said that he went on patrol, but in fact, he only brought Changshi Fan Zheng and Sima Panmei, as well as a team of personal soldiers, and the scale was similar to that of a certain boy and brother in the past.

In Cangzhou, Zheng Ziming, the name of the assassin and the envoy of the festival, could have stopped children from crying at night. The common people have long heard from the mouth of the gentry that he has murdered for money, bent the law for bribes, robbed men and women and many other bad deeds, and longed for God to lay down a thunderbolt to kill this person.

However, with the division of Yongyetian and Sang Matian, the life of the family is getting more and more hopeful day by day, and in the hearts of the people, the words of the squire and the elders are folded in half. When I saw with my own eyes the legendary fierce god, he was just a handsome offspring of seventeen or eighteen years old, although he looked like a tiger, but he talked to anyone with a smile on his face, and suddenly, the lies of the squires and elders were completely "revealed". Turning their heads, the fathers and villagers all competed with guilt to talk about the benefits of Lord Shi.

Pan Mei learned about the latest public opinion through meticulous work, and immediately began to arrange for her henchmen to pretend to be pawns of the peddlers and add fuel to the fire. As a result, Zheng Ziming only inspected half of the counties under his rule, and his reputation was completely lost. From a fierce god who eats people's hearts alive, he has become a good money boy who is willing to give money in an instant.

"Isn't it too much for us to do this!" Zheng Ziming had no resistance to the arrangement of taking the opportunity to win the hearts of the people, but he was somewhat resistant to lies to create gods. Taking advantage of the fact that the fine work mixed with the people had not yet been smashed, he questioned Pan Mei in a low voice.

"In extraordinary times, do extraordinary things. Pan Mei was a little proud in her heart, and pointed to the people on both sides of the road who were facing the guards of honor on both sides of the road, and said with a smile: "As long as we finish this circle, from now on, we will completely take root in Cangzhou." In the future, even if you occasionally make some mistakes, you will be regarded by your parents and fellow villagers as a bad thing done behind your back, and it has nothing to do with you, Lord Thorn. ”

"Then I can borrow your head!" Zheng Zi understood him and commented angrily.

He found that he was actually more suited to be a general than a prince. At least, when leading troops into battle, there is no need to think about these so-called imperial schemes in your heart.

"What if you take the initiative now......" When a certain thought is in his mind, it immediately grows like a weed in spring.

The group training that was forcibly incorporated when he first came to Cangzhou has gradually merged with the elite of Lijiazhai. The amount of grain and grass at hand is not as stretched as it was when I first arrived. If you cross Zhangshui and attack Hejian County before the autumn harvest, you will definitely be able to catch the local Youzhou army by surprise.

Since the defeat in the spring, the Youzhou army has not moved for a long time. In previous years, the behavior of crossing the border and beating grass and grain, which inevitably occurred before and after the wheat harvest, has also disappeared. According to Zheng Ziming's information, the Han Kuangsi brothers have never lived so peacefully before. It has been dormant for months, and if it does, it will be a blow.

Yizhou is broken, and there is no way to grab it. Hu Yancong, the defense envoy of Dingzhou, has Liu Chong, the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, behind him, and he can't afford to provoke easily. The situation in Qizhou and Shenzhou is similar to that of Yizhou, and the relationship between them and Han Kuangsi and the brothers is originally a little ambiguous. In this way, the only place left that is suitable for the Youzhou army to rob and definitely grab food is about to come out.

If the Han brothers want to go south to rob, the target can only be Cangzhou. In an instant, Zheng Ziming shivered and quickly touched his hand under the saddle bridge. A pair of bright eyes, looking around at the same time, as if in the wilderness outside the city, countless enemy troops were hidden.

These actions were purely his instinctive reaction when he felt danger as a general. There is no need to go through the command of the brain at all. However, at the moment when his hand had just touched the handle of the steel whip, in mid-air, there was a sudden sound of a string of feather arrows breaking through the air, "Whoosh, swish, swish-"

Immediately after, dozens of armor-piercing cones flew up behind the courtyard walls of the houses on both sides of the road. It slammed down in mid-air, and the sharp edge of the arrow went straight to the top of his head and chest. Reading, a better reading experience.
