Huang Zhong, who had settled the soldiers outside the city, soon got the news as well. , the latest chapter access: ШШШ.79xs.СоМ .

After Huang Zhong settled the soldiers, he entered the city and discussed with Zhang Zhao, Lu Ji and others about welcoming them.

Little by little, time passed.

The night is getting late.

The city was silent, and the streets were long gone.

On the west 'gate' tower of Wu County, there was a group of people gathered.

Huang Zhong, Ma Liang, Zhang Zhao, Lu Ji, Gu Yong, Zhu Zhi and others all gathered here.

Everyone is at the West 'Gate' to wait for Liu Xiu's arrival.

The night was deep, and the cold wind was howling.

It's just that in everyone's hearts, there is a lot of expectation.

"Da!

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came from the official road outside the city.

A sentry rushed in, went directly into the city, and then came to the city tower, and reported: "My lord, the king of Chu is still two quarters of an hour away from the city. ”

"Got it!"

Zhang Zhao waved his hand.

The sentry retreated, and Zhang Zhao, Huang Zhong and the others continued to wait.

Little by little, time passed.

Zhang Zhao looked up and forgot that although he couldn't really see the situation outside the city, he saw a fire on the official road in the distance.

Bright firelight, slowly moving.

Here it comes!

Zhang Zhao's heart suddenly lifted and said, "General Huang, the king of Chu is almost here." Let's wait at the gate. ”

"Good!"

Huang Zhong responded directly.

The two took the main civil officials and military generals down the city tower and waited at the gate of the city.

At this time, the firelight is getting closer and closer to the castle tower.

When the distance between the two sides was less than 100 feet, by the light of the soldiers marching on the tower and outside the city, it was finally possible to see the approaching army clearly.

The army at the forefront was the cavalry of the Flying Tiger Battalion.

Then, there were the brutes of Shamoko.

The two armies opened the way, and in the middle was Liu Xiu's king, and finally the infantry was broken.

When the army was less than 100 paces away from Wu County, the cavalry stopped advancing and made way for Liu Xiu to advance.

Liu Xiu's king drove slowly forward and came to the front.

The carriage stopped outside the city.

The curtain of the carriage 'door' was rolled up, and Liu Xiu stepped out of the carriage.

At this time, Zhang Zhao, Huang Zhong and others greeted him, came to Liu Xiu, and bowed his hand and said, "Meet the King of Chu." ”

Liu Xiu said: "The princes don't have to be polite. ”

Seeing so many people greeting him, Liu Xiu ordered: "It's late at night, and the princes don't have to guard it anymore." Huang Zhong, Ma Yan, Zhang Zhao, Zhu Zhi, Gu Yong, and Lu Ji stayed, and the rest dispersed and went back to their homes to rest. This king will summon you. ”

"Whoa!"

When the people heard this, they dispersed.

With Zhang Zhao, Zhu Zhi and others left, they were not worried.

After the officials dispersed, Liu Xiu asked the army to camp in Huang Zhong's camp, and then went directly to the Chinese army's big tent.

The host and guest are seated.

Liu Xiu, Fa Zheng, Huang Zhong, Zhang Zhao and others sat down.

Liu Xiu looked at Zhang Zhao and said, "Gong Zhang, this king already knows about the attack on Wu County. This time, thanks to the sincere cooperation of the Zhang family, the Lu family, the Zhu family and the Gu family, they did not hesitate to dispatch 'private' soldiers to resist. ”

"The King of Chu is serious, this is a matter of duty. And the four families did not hold on, and at the critical time, it was General Huang who led the army to arrive, which resolved the crisis in Wu County. ”

Zhang Zhao hurriedly humbled himself.

Zhu Zhi, Lu Ji, and Gu Yong also spoke one after another.

The four of them were the ones who surrendered, and they didn't dare to put up a stand in front of Liu Xiu.

They sent their family's people to defend, which was indeed meritorious, but if there was no Huang Zhong, it would be difficult to hold Wu County.

Liu Xiu is quite appreciative of the four major families.

If Wu County is attacked and Zhang Zhao evacuates with his people, after Wu County is lost, the impact will be great.

Now that Wu County is guarded, the overall situation of Wu County will not be affected.

Liu Xiu looked at Huang Zhong and said, "Hansheng, thanks to you this time." ”

Huang Zhong hugged his fists and said: "The king praised it. The last general has merit, but if it weren't for Zhang Gong and others swearing to resist to the death, I'm afraid that the last general would have arrived in Wu County, and even if Wu County was recaptured, it would be a wreckage and ruins. ”

Liu Xiu bowed slightly.

In this battle, it would not work without Zhang Zhao and others, but not without Huang Zhong.

Liu Xiu changed his words and said: "The merits of the princes in this battle are arranged by this king. Zhang Gong, what do you think about the officials of the counties and counties of Wu State?"

This issue involves the adjustment of officials.

Wu Guo has surrendered, and the officials will definitely adjust, otherwise Liu Xiu will not be at ease.

It's just how to adjust it, and it's extremely important.

Zhang Zhao glanced up at Liu Xiu, he thought in his heart, did Liu Xiu really ask, or did he have other intentions?

Liu Xiu said: "Although I said, this king wants to hear your opinion. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Zhao took a deep breath and said: "Wang, the old man thinks that the arrangement strategy of the officials of the Wu State should be a small adjustment at the county level and a major adjustment at the county level. ”

Liu Xiu asked, "What do you mean by this?"

Zhang Zhao explained: "Although the counties of Wu are not wide and cannot be compared with Chu and Wei, they also have several counties under their jurisdiction. ”

"If you want to remove all the officials, I am afraid that the Chu State will not be able to 'draw' so many people for a while. ”

"And replacing all of them is also easy to cause movement. ”

"Therefore, the old man's suggestion is that the officials of the former Wu County Shou level should be 'exchanged' within the counties of Wu State. ”

"That way, they won't react much. ”

"As for officials at the county level, this is fundamental. To ensure that the counties are under the control of the king. The old man suggested that all the county orders with outstanding abilities from the county of Chu should be 'exchanged' with the county orders of the Wu State. ”

"The county order of the state of Wu, go to the state of Chu to make the county order. ”

"The county order of Chu State, go to the counties of Wu State to make county orders. ”

"In this way, although the Taishou of each county is still in the Wu State, in fact, the control of the county level will be weakened a lot, and the king can directly control the counties. ”

"After a long time, the hearts of the counties are towards the king. And the county orders of Wu State, which entered the counties of Chu State, will soon be assimilated. ”

"As for the Taishou who have made small adjustments, after a small adjustment, they can be adjusted slowly. ”

Zhang Zhao talked eloquently and said a general policy.

After Liu Xiu listened, his eyes brightened.

Zhang Zhao's suggestion is very good, and with this arrangement, Liu Xiu will be able to control the counties of Wu in a short period of time. As long as it is stable, all the counties of Wu will soon have their hearts set on Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu praised: "Zhang Gong is worthy of being the old minister of the Sun family, and he has outstanding ability. Zhang Gong's strategy, this king adopted. ”

Zhang Zhao said: "King Shengming." ”

Liu Xiu thought in his heart and said, "Zhang Gong's talent is outstanding, so he will be transferred to the center of Chu State and serve as the governor of the Chu Palace." Is Zhang Gong willing to give in?"

Zhang Zhao arched his hand and said: "The old minister is willing!"

The history of the governor of the Chu Wangfu is an official position close to Liu Xiu's core.

Although this is not the core center of the Chu State for the time being, this is the core of the Chu Palace.

As long as he gains a foothold in the Chu Palace, he further becomes the minister of the center of the Chu State, it will be just around the corner.

When Lu Ji, Gu Yong, Zhu Zhi and others heard this, they were all very envious.

Zhang Zhao can be said to have reached the sky in one step.

But thinking about it, it is not surprising that Zhang Zhao assisted the two generations of the Sun family and made great contributions in Jiangdong.

It is also normal for Liu Xiu to be reused.

Liu Xiu said: "Gong Zhang, you are personally responsible for the adjustment of the officials of the Wu State. If you need to adjust, just go directly to Kuai Liang and Yi Yuan, and they will help you. ”

"Whoa!"

Zhang Zhao bowed his hand.

Liu Xiu's gaze fell on Lu Ji, Gu Yong and Zhu Zhi.

Zhang Zhao was rewarded, and Lu Ji, Gu Yong and Zhu Zhi naturally couldn't miss it.
