"cough~cough~"

Zhang Chong was lying on the couch, and Zhao E was feeding him medicine.

No one expected that Zhang Chong, who was as strong as a tiger and a bull, would get sick, and he was sick for 20 days. A few days ago, he was in a coma, and then he began to have a fever and talk nonsense, and Zhao E, who took care of Zhang Chong, would hear him say "saint" for a while, and then say, "I knew I would fail."

After a few days, Zhang Chong woke up, and he couldn't stay at first, but later he knew that the whole army was starting to conduct joint training according to the new establishment one after another, and he had to come to watch the army.

In the end, there was no way, Cai did come with Zhang Chong behind his back. At that time, it was Guan Yu's left lieutenant who was training together. I saw the banner hunting, calling for a statement, and the battalion leaders were under the command of the Lingqi, strict and disciplined, and seeing that the army's heart was available, Zhang Chongxin let go a little.

After that, Zhang Chong stayed in the camp, Zhao E persuaded him for a long time, but Zhang Chong couldn't help but say:

"Don't persuade me, here, I can sleep soundly."

Zhao E understood, and then asked Cai Qu to move all the beds and covers from the mountains into the camp.

In the next few days, up to Guan Yu and Zhang Dan, as well as some newly promoted generals, they all entered the big tent to greet Zhang Chong, and Zhang Chong tried their best one by one.

It's strange to say, it stands to reason that it should be tiring to see so many people, but the more Zhang Chong meets him, the better his spirit is, and in the end, it will be better.

Some generals couldn't figure it out, only Xi Shen quietly said to his former evil boys:

"Let's ditch, it's a heart disease, so naturally we have to treat it."

As soon as Zhang Chong's side was good, he didn't stop for a moment to meet with the scouts of the Flying Army, and they brought the situation outside the Tianshan Mountain these days.

First and foremost, the most important is the situation of Dongpingling.

The scouts of the Flying Army were supported by the information of the sacrifice of their grandsons, and finally penetrated the information into the Cao Temple of Dongping Tomb, which was quite difficult.

Originally, the servants of Cao Temple were all cleansed, and the county officials themselves extracted some of the disciples from various families to maintain the basic operation of Cao Temple, which made it difficult for the servants of Cao Temple to be opened.

Later, Taishan finally bought a gambling county official, and only then did he figure out the follow-up of Dongpingling during this time.

Since the death of the original Jinan minister, Gong Cao Gaozong began to take charge of Jinan county affairs.

This gentleman is also a cadre, and he does things vigorously and resolutely. First, he buried the bodies of the victims, and then collected the stolen corn from the households again. At the same time, a petition jointly signed by the governor of Jinan has been sent to Kyoto.

The most unexpected thing is that Xun Yu, the son of Xun Kun, the former prime minister of Jinan, was thrown into prison for the crime of negligence.

Hearing this, Zhang Chong was stunned for a moment, Xun Yu?

This is too familiar, it is the Wang Zuozhicai who assisted Cao Cao in making contributions, and was finally forced to commit suicide by Cao Cao with an empty food box.

Zhang Chong didn't expect that the person who besieged him in the city that day was sent by him.

Zhang Chong motioned to the scout to carry the flag and continue, and the back flag continued:

"Later, although Gao Zong cleaned up the mess of Jinan Kingdom, he was actually unable to recruit Zhuang Yong, so now the defense of Jinan Kingdom is united by several big families in the city under the attendants of the King of Jinan, so it can be said that defending the city is still insufficient, let alone going into the mountains to suppress us."

Seeing Zhang Chong nodding, the other carried the flag and began to talk about the situation of Fenggao in the south of Mount Tai. ….

"Yuqu, those heroes who have been high in Fenggao recently have also been vaguely colluding, and they have begun to distance themselves from us. Mr. Hu Mu said that it was Taishan County's Taishou Zhang Ju, who ordered the county officials several times not to be thieves, and also arrested a few township tyrants who were quite close to us, and the land was confiscated. Mr. Hu Mu said that he could not do anything there."

Zhang Chong frowned and continued to ask:

"What happened to the two hundred hectares of land over there in Wenyang?"

The back flag immediately took out a book from the blanket and handed it to Zhang Chong:

"Qu, this is Mr. Hu's letter."

Zhang Chong took it, and at a glance, it was roughly said that the Bao family and Taishan were too worried about that field, and asked him to be careful.

After reading it, Zhang Chong snorted coldly.

And then the third back flag begins:

"Qu, recently, a group of bandits near Lushan said that they wanted to take refuge in us. These few times, they have been sending people to contact us."

Hearing that a group of thieves had taken refuge in Lushan, Zhang Chong became interested and asked the flag to continue:

"This band of thieves is too short of food to set up a camp, so their leader wants to take refuge in us, and wants to join us in the camp."

"What's the other side?"

"They want to keep their original men, so they can follow our recruitment."

Zhang Chong bowed his head, this is whether he wants to listen to the tune or not, but it doesn't matter, you can contact it first.

After that, there were constantly carrying flags into the account to tell Zhang Chong about the recent situation one by one, and it was not until Zhao E came in with a food box that Zhang Chong listened to all this information.

To sum up, there are now signs and sprouts of encirclement and suppression of Mount Tai, but the situation is not as serious as he expected.

In fact, with the reaction of a bureaucracy like the Han Court, it is estimated that it will be the second half of the year when Zhang Chong is really effectively encircled and suppressed. But Taishan's behavior of guarding Zhang Ju made him a little vigilant, and he and Bao's covetousness of Wenyangtian would sooner or later attack him. So instead of that, why not take the initiative?

Wait, take the initiative? That's right.

At this moment, Zhang Zhengran cleared the clouds, his previous thinking had always been to defend, wait for the Han Court to send troops to attack, and finally rely on the geographical advantages of Mount Tai and the Han Court guerrillas.

But who said he could only keep it? He can take the initiative to transfer troops to fight on the outside line and constantly attack the living forces of the counties around Mount Tai. You can not only take advantage of the enemy's lack of unity, but also thrive in battle.

He had been limited in his thinking by the Jiazi Year Uprising in Taiping Dao. He always felt that before Jiazi, he should not take the initiative to attack, which was not conducive to the major events of Taiping Dao, and he also made a precursor to Taiping Dao in advance.

But in fact, at this moment, for him, the Taiping Dao Jiazi Year Uprising is no longer a constraint for him. In that case, why not take the initiative?

As for whether it will attract firepower for Taiping Dao and drive them forward, he Zhang Chong thinks so. Compared with Taiping Dao, his current size is not worth mentioning at all. After the Taiping Road uprising later, the Han Court will still mainly attack the Taiping Road. On the contrary, now that he takes the initiative to attack, he can still obtain the title of Shouyi, and his prestige in the sect will be greatly enhanced at that time.

As for how to explain to the sect, Zhang Chong can say this to the sect, that is, they Taishan Fang will not cause trouble as Taiping Dao, so that Taiping Dao will not be exposed, and this can also help the sect to test the strength of Hanting in advance. ….

Zhang Chong thought about it repeatedly, and this thing was very feasible. Immediately asked Cai Qu to convene the generals and let them come to the big tent to discuss matters.

As for the first direction of their external operations, Zhang Chong also thought about it, so he used this Taishan Taishou as a whetstone.

----------------------------

Taishan County, Fenggao.

At this time, an ox cart slowly entered the city through the east gate, and the dilapidated roof was full of traces of time.

As soon as the ox cart passed, two porters snickered and joked with each other. At this time, the chief of the east gate came over, saw it, and reprimanded:

"What are you laughing at, check it well, recently the prince has repeatedly said that it is necessary to strictly investigate the thief girl of Mount Tai, and the eyes are bright, if you mistake the matter of the father, you will be stripped of your skin and filled with grass when the time comes."

These two guards are also old oilmen, and they are familiar with the East Gate, and they don't take it seriously, so they just smile:

"Door chief, look at the car just now, the old cow pulled the broken car, and I was worried that the car was scattered in the middle of the road. Then you're looking at the people in the car, kneeling with a straight pen and a good posture. It's all so poor and sour, and they still have such a posture. Who is it?"

The head of the east gate naturally knew who these two people were talking about, and he had seen this person behind the wall before, but he deliberately didn't come out, because he was not happy to see this person.

Seeing the two of them asking, the head of the east gate smiled and said:

"You know who made it impossible for us to withdraw money to the business traveler we started some time ago?"

The two guards shook their heads, and only then did they understand when they saw the look of the door chief, and they all pointed to the ox cart that was going away, and said:

"Is that him?"

The head of the east gate nodded, and pointed to the old cow and them

sarcastically:

"Did you see the old cow? This old cow is still a virtuous cow. This man used to take office with this cow when he was a county magistrate in the border county, and then this cow gave birth to a calf, and when he moved to our Fenggao, he still rode that cow to take office."

One of the pawns was puzzled:

"Why don't you take the calf with you? Sold?"

The doorman smiled and said:

"That's a good question, why don't you call it a virtuous cow? At that time, some people also asked this man, and this man said that his cow ate the grass of the county and drank the water of the land, and the calf born was naturally from the land. So he left the office as he took office."

Hearing this, another doorman couldn't help but admire:

"Then this man is a virtuous man."

Seeing that the face of the head of the east gate was gloomy, he hurriedly explained:

"Door chief, you are also virtuous, you are also virtuous."

The head of the east gate scolded directly:

"Hyun has a sparrow? If our financial route is cut off, do I care if he is virtuous or not? You two are also clever, no matter how virtuous he is, he didn't give you three more buckets of corn, it's good to read a fart. Don't forget, who gave you the corn."

After saying that, the head of the east gate was still resentful in his heart, this person had just become the prince of Taishan County, and he rectified them, and he insisted that they were not allowed to extort merchants who entered the city. He just doesn't look down on this kind of so-called clean official, and he doesn't want to think about it, so he sent such a little millet on it, but let him step up the strict investigation of passers-by.

There's a lot of work to do, but don't you have to recruit people? But when he recruited people, he still only gave the original amount of millet, and he did not draw money from business trips, so who would feed those extra brothers?

Qing official Qing official, I would rather you be a corrupt official, as long as you can take me to make a fortune.

In short, the head of the East Gate made this Taishan County jealous, after all, taking people's wealth is like killing parents, and the hatred of parents is not shared. Now you are Taishan County, I don't have the same knowledge as you, but you are an outsider who also wants to sit firmly in our Taishan?

He expected that this person's personality background would not be in this position for a long time, and he had already heard what his second brother on duty in Cao Temple said, and the prince of the mansion did not look down on this person. When the time comes, when this person is taken away, he will find another opportunity to take revenge.

So who is this person who sat on a broken ox cart and offended the head of the East Gate?

This gentleman is none other than Langya Yangdu, Zhuge Jue is also.

Please call me Mr. Chen
