Wang Xiu also fell into contemplation when he heard his father ask, the difference between the state pastor and the assassin Wang Xiu is naturally clear, the state pastor is nominally a local supervision envoy sent by the imperial court, and does not have the right to appoint and remove and military power. The power of the state minister is much greater, not only the appointment and dismissal power below the county guard, but also the right to make suggestions to the personnel of the county guard. It is also possible to mobilize the soldiers of each county. A general like Wang Gang in Lingzhou is usually appointed and dismissed during the special period of the imperial court, as if the army temporarily took over the place.

"Did the imperial court let General Zhenbei take full control of the annexation of the state, including the army of the annexation state?"

Wang Lu glanced at Wang Xiu, a trace of disappointment was fleeting, and said slowly.

"Wang Gang's appointment is the general of Zhenbei and the state pastor. Instead of merging with the state pastor, the general of Zhenbei, which is different"

Wang Xiu asked a little puzzled

"What is the difference, please make it clear to my father"

"If it's a state pastor, General Zhenbei. Then the imperial court is to let Wang Gang govern the state first, and then defend the north. And the general of Zhenbei, led and merged with the state pastor. It is to defend the north first, and then govern and annex the state. The two seem to have only one primary and secondary relationship, in fact, there is a big difference between them, to put it more simply, if it is the former, then Wang Gang can only govern the state first, and he must rely on the family of the state, while the latter is not"

The more Wang Xiu listened, the more confused he became, could it be that Wang Gang governed the state and didn't need the help of these families, so he hurriedly asked.

"Don't you need the help of the state family now, how can he govern the state?"

"His main duty now is to defend against the north, and if the family helps, he will be happy to see it, and if he doesn't, it doesn't matter."

"The child still doesn't understand the specific difference between the two"

Wang Lu sighed and said.

"If it is the former, he wants to control the army and needs the support of the county guard, while the latter he can use troops against the county guard, to put it more directly, he can directly lead the troops to take over the counties, including Taiyuan. Do you think he still needs to look at the face of the family?"

Wang Xiu's face suddenly changed greatly, and his tone changed a little.

"That'...... Then isn't he afraid that the county guard will report, and won't someone in the court inform His Majesty?"

"He is the general of Zhenbei, and the purpose of the imperial court to let him come is to master the soldiers of each county, as for what means he uses, it all depends on his liking. He can't hold the annexation of the state, and the annexation will fall into the hands of the Huns sooner or later, do you say that there will be anyone in the imperial court who will sue because of this?"

Wang Xiu was stunned for a moment, originally he thought that Wang Gang came to be similar to Ding Yuan, first establish a good relationship with the family, and then win over the county guards, but he didn't expect his father to say that Wang Gang could directly use troops against the counties, and he didn't have to worry about someone impeaching, which made him unacceptable for a while.

Although Bingzhou is not a big state, there were originally Taiyuan, Shangdang, Xihe, Yunzhong, Hedong, Yanmen, Shuofang, Wuyuan, Shangjun, Dingxiang ten counties, one hundred and twenty-three counties, and later Hedong was assigned to Sili, and Dingxiang and Yunzhong were merged. In recent years, the Huns have successively occupied the clouds, Shuofang. Shangjun was also occupied by Qianghu. This year, the Xiongnu occupied Wuyuan County, four counties in the north of Yanmen County, and three counties in the north of Shangdang County. If it weren't for the arrival of Wang Gang, I'm afraid that Shangdang and Yanmen would not be able to keep it, and there would be two counties of Hexi and Taiyuan County left in a huge annexed state. Poor people in the state."

Wang Lu whimpered when he said this, and couldn't help but burst into tears. As an authentic Bingzhou person, how can I not be sad when I see the current state of Bingzhou.

"Father, what are we going to do?"

"Listen to your seventh uncle, fully support Wang Gang, I hope your seventh uncle, Your Majesty is not wrong"

And in the Jinyang City County Guard's Mansion, Zhang Yi was also looking at the letter in his hand in a daze, since receiving the letter from Luoyang Ling Zhang Qian, he had been in the study for several hours. Zhang Qian is just a side branch of the Zhang family, if he hadn't been appointed as the Taishou of Yanmen last year, he would have almost forgotten about this brother of the same generation, but his sudden letter made Zhang Yi have to pay attention to it.

The imperial court actually appointed a young man in his twenties as the general of Zhenbei and led the state pastor. Zhang Yi naturally knew what he thought it was. But if this is the case, let him give up power, especially military power, he is still unwilling.

"Master, Feng Juncheng has arrived"

Zhang Yi hurriedly got up, walked out of the door, and welcomed Jun Cheng Feng Xi in.

The two sat down in different places, and after the next person brought the tea, they retreated, and Feng Xi took a sip of hot tea before speaking.

"The king summoned his subordinates to come, but I don't know what to command"

Feng Xi is now more than Chinese New Year's Eve years old, with fair skin and handsome appearance. Witty, famous at a young age, recommended by Zhang Yi as a county leader, capable and accessible, never filled his pockets, deeply valued by Zhang Yi, and also quite famous in Taiyuan County.

"Dusk, you can know that General Anton is this person" Dusk is Feng Xi's word. Zhang Yi called him like this, looking kind.

"General Anton's subordinates have seen it, and Ding Tingshi once held a banquet and saw it during the banquet. Although this person is young, his complexion is calm and unassuming. Later, I went to be the Taishou of Yanmen, and I never saw it again, and I heard that I married the county lord this year, which is really a breath for us and the people of the state. I don't know why the envoy suddenly asked"

Feng Xi was still a little envious when he talked about Wang Gang.

Zhang Yi did not talk, but handed the letter to Feng Xi.

Feng Xi read the letter again, his eyes were shocked, and he was speechless for a long time.

"Dusk, you look at it this way, do you say that this Zhenbei general will come to Taiyuan, I heard that the Huns are still attacking Yanmen Pass, the old man has not been able to make up his mind in his heart, if he orders me to lead troops to Yanmen, I will go or not."

Although Feng Xi was shocked, he quickly calmed down, lowered his head and pondered for a while before speaking.

"The appointment and dismissal of the imperial court is the general of Zhenbei and the state pastor, if he can't hold Yanmen County, then he won't come to Taiyuan County, that will only bring humiliation on himself."

Zhang Yi listened to Feng Xi's words and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Feng Xi saw Zhang Yi's thoughts, and spoke again.

"If he retreats Yanmen, then he alone has the final say in the entire annexation of the state, and the king must treat him the same as Ding Yuan."

Ding Yuan went to Taiyuan to fight with Zhang Yiming. controlled Ding Yuan everywhere, so that Ding Yuan did not open up the situation in Taiyuan for two years. Some things didn't work out in the end.

Zhang Yi also knew that Wang Gang was much bigger than Ding's original name, and he also had the name of General Zhenbei. But Zhang Yi is not very afraid, after all, he Zhang Yi has the final say in Taiyuan County, and when the time comes, he can choose to disobey Wang Gang's order, so he Wang Gang can't do anything to him.

"Why is this?" Zhang Yi was a little puzzled.

"Because he has soldiers in his hands, and he is a false festival"

Zhang Yi's face changed when he heard this.
