At present, Zang Hong has transported the grain to Luoyang, although it is against his will, but the court does not know the secret, he can borrow this reputation to welcome the Son of Heaven.

But Puyang and Yecheng are only 200 miles away, and if he wants to go to Luoyang, he must pass through Dongjun.

This means that if he chooses this path, not only will he not be able to reprimand or even attack Zang Hong, but he will even have to be gentle and appeased.

Yuan Shao fell into hesitation, and the expression on his face was clearly seen by the judge and Guo Tu.

…… The Dapeng bird slowly flew up in Guo Tu's heart.

"The names of the ancient monarchs and ministers should be guarded to the death, doesn't Zang Ziyuan know?"

"Zang Hong received the edict of the Han Dynasty and ate the Han Lu, why can't he keep the order of the Son of Heaven!"

"The Son of Heaven is the monarch of Zang Ziyuan, isn't the lord?"

"We are all up to the Son of Heaven, and down to the Ming Gong-"

The judge put his hand in his sleeve and hesitated for a moment.

When it comes to strategy, he is also very convinced by the strategy of Fu Zhi, at least it is not a wise choice to attack Zang Hong now.

…… Sometimes, however, "giving advice" is not an act of reasoning, or even an act of profit.

It's an instinct that has been cultivated over the years, like a moth that fights a fire.

He raised his eyes, looked at Fu Zhu and Guo Tu in the debate for a while, and then looked at the lord seat.

The judge said coldly.

"My ruler is only Ming Gong," he said, "and I don't recognize anyone else." ”

…… Guo Tu was shocked.

…… Frustrated was also shocked.

…… That's a big reversal!

…… But appropriately, it gently plucked the heartstrings of the lord!

The lord looked at the judge's expression, very gentle and kind.

Everything understood in that instant.

But the lord was still a man who "won the hearts of the people with his generosity", and when he turned his gaze to frustration, he still had a gentle smile.

"It's cold, the prison army has to take more maintenance, and work hard to add food, come on, pick five fox skins sent by Wuhuan the day before yesterday and send them to the prison army's mansion——"

The three sides of the cart were tightly covered, and only the curtain occasionally showed a little gap, and the cold wind could not stop sending in.

The charcoal basin in the car couldn't neutralize the biting cold, so Guo Tu's thoughts also became extremely clear and cold under the gusts of cold wind.

Will Frustration give up?

Definitely not.

With his respect for Zang Hong and his worries about the battle situation, since he can't persuade Yuan Gong, he will definitely send someone to persuade Zang Hong.

…… A handwritten letter will also be brought.

Guo Tu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Guo Ding!"

The servant who was riding on a mule immediately stepped forward, "What does the lord command?" ”

"You pick a hundred elite soldiers from the army," Guo Tu said, "go and keep an eye on the movements of the military palace, and if you see anyone leaving the city, stop them immediately!" Bring the letter back with me! ”

The soldiers walked very slowly, but the journey of 200 miles did not take a few days, so the letter had to arrive quickly, and a few days in the evening, the Jizhou army would be under the city of Puyang.

Indeed, he was anxious to reply to the letter.

But Guo Tu had already got the letter, and rushed to Yuan Shao's mansion, he was thoughtful, and even specially selected the judge to come when he was present.

When Yuan Shao saw the letter, his face was a little uncomfortable.

"You stopped the letter from the Overseer?"

"Actually, it's a misunderstanding," Guo Tu said cautiously, "It was the army that saw someone trying to traffic the enemy, thought there was a moment, and stopped it and sent it to find out that it was the prison army sending an envoy......"

The judge snorted coldly.

"Zang Hong is already the enemy of the lord, and as a prisoner, isn't it a collaborator to write to Zang Hong at this time?"

"Not necessarily," Guo Tu said cautiously, "The prison army has always been exhausted, there must be some clever plan, it is inconvenient to tell the lord......

"We are ministers, what can't we tell the lord!" The judge said angrily, "Unless the villain has a mind!" ”

Yuan Shao sat on the main seat, looked at the letter, and frowned even tighter.

But Guo Tu knew that with the status of frustration in Yuan Shao's heart, such advances were still not enough.

"Isn't Zhengnan's words going to wronged the prison army? Alas, alas, the lord must not go to his heart, why I should burn this letter now...... Let's just assume that this never happened! Harmony between kings and ministers, not too fast! ”

The lord's face was finally covered with a dark cloud.

In Guo Tu's view, the power of the military outside is granted, and the power of the prefecture and county is so great, there is no such reason in the world!

As for Zang Hong's life and death after missing this letter, he didn't care.

Even if Zang Hong besieges the city and dies, even if Puyang is exhausted, is there a lack of a city in Hebei?

What a bargain it is to use the people of this city to pull down the frustration!

Whether the people of this city should die or not, the strategists of Hebei can't say a right or wrong.

But Ms. Zhang apparently has a different view.

Lu Hangyu came to Xiapi for less than half a month, and he stayed very well, helping the kitchen kill pigs every day, and also won the reputation of "pig killing general".

The rest of the time was spent wandering around the city to see if anyone was starving and freezing because of this unprecedentedly cold winter, and the rest of the time was spent lying flat in a warm room, listening to the cold wind howling outside, wrapped in thick fur, and plucking the yams in a charcoal basin.

Zhang Miao came to the door at this time, saying that she had something important and invited her to go to Xiaopei.

This Yanzhou celebrity is a guest general stationed in Xiaopei, he brought 10,000 men and women, and he has lived a good life in the past few years, so when she walked into Xiaopei's city gate against the cold wind, what she saw was Zhang Miao, who was white and fat, and Zhang Chao, who seemed to be worried about everything, and Zhang Chao, who was obviously a circle younger than her brother.

"General Ciyu!" Zhang Miao has obviously been waiting in the cold wind for a long time, and his legs and feet are a little inflexible, "General Lao is here, I am ashamed!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay," she quickly waved her hand, "Zhang Gong looks much more frost-tolerant than me." ”

The group of people waiting at the city gate were stunned.

…… It's like talking to death.

Although it was cold, Zhang Miao cleaned up quite well in Xiaopei's mansion, and it didn't look very luxurious, but everything on the banquet was very exquisite, and there was even a little fresh and tender vegetables produced in the greenhouse, accompanied by pieces of honey roast meat, which was particularly pleasing to the eye.

"How did the general feel about guarding Xiapi on behalf of Liu Zhijun?"

"It's all good, everyone is busy, and it saves me a lot of effort." She replied obediently.

"When the general is free, how can he entertain himself?"

…… Kill the pigs.

…… This hobby is a bit murderous and not suitable to be talked about outside.

But in fact, this is not a hobby, it is more like the master has nothing to do with handiwork, calm down his emotions, and re-examine himself in the interval of this handwork.

Who is she, where does she come from, and where is she going?

What were her former ideals? Has that changed now?

She has indeed crossed the hierarchy step by step, is she still her?

"Read." She said.

Zhang Miao shook his head, "Ciyu is not a scholar. ”

…… Cough.

The room is warm like spring, and there are delicious wines, and there are a few musicians at the door who are playing and singing, playing the atmosphere group.

…… But looking at Zhang Chao's expression, it was not like that.

The elder brother was greeting her, but the younger brother had a sad face.

"Zhang Gong invited me today, what is the matter?"

Zhang Miao sighed, waved his hand lightly, and the musicians hugged the instruments and quietly retreated.

"I'm waiting for Zang Ziyuan, and I want to ask General Ciyu for advice."

She blinked, "What do you ask me?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Chao suddenly got up! Suddenly he left the table! Suddenly, he rushed over and made a big gift!

Her whole body is numb!

The reason why Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao brothers invited her to come is very simple.

Yuan Shao was already in Puyang, ready to beat up his disobedient subordinates.

Compared with the frustration that did not send the letter, Zhang Chao risked his life and went north from Xiaopei to Jibei, and then went south to Puyang to meet Zang Hong.

"I want to persuade him to abandon Puyang and return to Xiaopei with me, but he refuses!"

"Why not?" She asked, "Isn't Zang Envoy Jun Mo still loyal to Yuan Benchu?" ”

Zhang Chao shook his head, tears streaming down his cheeks.

"He said that the Yuan family has no way and is doing wrong, and he must stay to let the world know about Yuan's evil deeds for the sake of righteousness, so he refuses to leave."

“…… What about the others? ”

"Ziyuan wants to make the generals and people in the city return to Xiaopei with me, but everyone is weeping and refusing to abandon him!"

She rubbed her face.

A dead-eyed Zang Hong, and a city of dead-eyed soldiers, officers and people.

What is the Han family to her?

Is it the teenage son of heaven in the Luoyang Palace?

Are they those tablets in the High Temple and the Shizu Temple?

Or was it the jade gadget she had forgotten about in the back of her mind?
