Chapter 86, citation of classics

"What, Tuyin County was captured by Zhang Wan's traitor?"

In the evening, he had just returned to Zujiazhuang after completing training from Xihe Bridge. As soon as Zu Zhao entered the door, he heard the news from his cousin Zu Zhan.

Today is the end of the twelfth lunar month, and New Year's Eve is approaching, but the season that should be celebrated can't be taken lightly.

Of course, the biggest surprise to Zu Zhao about this problem is not that the traitor is only a year old, but that the county and state governments have not taken any measures against the traitors in the past month. In a month, even if volunteers are recruited locally, even if reinforcements are drawn from other counties under the state capital, even if people are sent to recruit and subdue Zhang Wan, it will certainly be more or less effective, so as not to watch the situation deteriorate like this.

This question is something he can't figure out anyway.

Following Zu Zhan to the middle hall, Zuling, Zu Li, Zu Ke and other uncles, as well as the county magistrates sent by the county government, all had a stern face and were discussing the current progress of Changcheng and Tuyin counties. After entering the door, Zu Zhao simply saluted the people one by one, and then asked what was the specific situation and how Tu Yin let the traitors break through.

County Cheng said that there has been a response to the emergence of forces attached to Zhang Wan in the area of Tuyin, most of which are mainly folk Taiping Taoists, and there are also some local rich families. Earlier, Changcheng did not make much noise. It was nothing more than some bluffing. Sometimes it had to go north to attack the county seat, and sometimes it had to cross the border to Liaoxi County to plunder. I even heard that it was going to take a detour to attack Ji County, the state capital. In short, there were frequent actions, but in the final analysis, it was a false move.

After listening to the introduction of the county magistrate, Zu Zhao did not say anything for a moment, but pondered for a while. To release the Buddha was to filter out some new clues from it. He always has a feeling that Zhang Wan must be playing some tricks, especially the frequent bravado made under the capture of Tuyin...

After a while, he had some awareness in his heart and immediately asked, "Is there no way for the state and county government to deal with it?"

County Cheng said, "I don't know how the state government will deal with this matter. However, the county government is still chaotic at present. Although there are Lieutenant Wen and the county government of Pinggang County to appease the aftermath, people are panicked and rumors are everywhere, but it is still not optimistic. Recently, I heard that the state government has ordered Yang Taishou of Liaoxi County to temporarily build Youbeiping County. Yang Taishou also heard about the rebellion in Changcheng and seemed to attach great importance to it. He is planning to draw troops from Liaoxi to help quell the rebellion.

Zuzuo asked again, "Then why hasn't there been any progress so far? Not only that, but the voice of traitors is increasing!"

Xian Cheng sighed, "It must be helpless. I heard that on the side of the county government, Lieutenant Wen has been advocating the recruitment of volunteers, mobilization of border troops, and going to Changcheng to suppress rebellion in one fell swoop. He has even drawn up a letter to recruit volunteers, and he will go on an expedition in the next day. Unfortunately, Yang Taishou was afraid that there would be a mistake during this period, so he asked Lieutenant Wendu to hold the county for the time being and wait for reinforcements.

Zu Zhao smiled coldly and said, "To deal with the rebellion, you should be quick. The more you delay, the more you will help the thief. Once the thief is too powerful, it will not only weaken the prestige of the government, but also cause adverse effects on the people. Lieutenant Wendu advocates a quick battle, which is definitely the best strategy.

The county magistrate said worriedly, " However, the county government's strength is limited, and the thief is really too strong. In case something happens, if the county government is lost, the whole county will be lost. What should we do?"

Zu Zhao disdained and said neatly, "Although there are many thieves, they are all rabbles. The matter of the battlefield is not the number of people, but the clever operation. Captain Wendu gathered nearly 3,000 troops in the county. If he recruits more volunteers, he will be no less than the thieves in Changcheng. With the elite and armor of the county soldiers, how can't you deal with the traitors in Changcheng?

Hearing this, the county magistrate fell into meditation and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Zuling, Zu Ke and others have different degrees of approval and appreciation of Zu Zhao's analysis.

Zu Zhao slowly breathed a sigh of youth and said, "Even if Yang Taishu of Liaoxi County cares about the affairs of this county, but after all, Yang Taishu is not familiar with the great details of this county. How can it be done by conjugation alone? If there is a chance, I would like to submit this matter to the state government. The chaos in Changcheng will never be delayed.

His words were righteous and not on a whim. As he had made before, the suppression of traitors in Changcheng should not be delayed for too long. In addition, he always feels that there are still hidden things behind Zhang Wan. It is necessary to eliminate this hidden danger as soon as possible and investigate the background of this series of incidents after arresting Zhang Wan.

Hearing Zu Zhao's words of petition, Zu Ling, Zu Li and others didn't think much about it, just as a sigh.

No matter how powerful and capable the ancestral family is, it is ultimately limited to Xu Wu County. If you want to go up without Xu Wu County, there are many uncertain situations.

However, after a moment of silence, the county magistrate suddenly thought of something and quickly said, "If the eldest son really has this intention, there is no way. Gongsun Bogui, the head of Liaodong, did not pay a special visit to General Zu earlier. Not only that, I heard that Lord Gongsun and the eldest son of Zu are both masters of the great Confucian Lu Zigan. This love of the same family can more or less help the eldest son.

Zu Zhao nodded slowly and smiled, "It's still the county magistrate who has a good memory, and he almost forgot this. Brother Gongsun is now riding with the general to recruit troops in this county. If you can get Brother Gongsun to hand over the submission to General Zhang, and then General Zhang will talk about it in detail to the lord of the state government, it will really achieve something.

The county magistrate said, "But it's not right. If Mr. Zu's move can be appreciated by the riding and the state government, he will definitely achieve something.

Zu Zhao smiled modestly and said, "The boy is just worried about the thief in this county. There is nothing else to do."

In the afternoon of the same day, Zu Zhao visited his grandfather and asked him to suppress the rebellion as soon as possible.

Zu Ju knew the relationship between Zu Zhao and Gongsun Bogui, and often thought about making good use of this relationship. Now Gongsun Bogui has been valued by the bicycle general Zhang Wen and follows the bicycle general. Of course, such a close-water platform should be better attached to it. Therefore, he agrees with Zu Zhao's proposal and hopes that Zu Zhao will personally submit an petition and send someone to Gongsun Zan as soon as possible.

With the approval of his grandfather, Zu Zhao finally laid the foundation for the attitude of the family. Whether this will succeed is still unknown, but it is nothing more than a letter. Even if it is not successful, you can see what Gongsun Zan's attitude towards the ancestral family is. Therefore, in the afternoon, he wrote a petition of more than a thousand words and a private message to Gongsun Zan. Now is the era of classical Chinese, and a thousand words are enough to be a long story. He used the scriptures and poems he had learned in the seven or eight years as much as possible, coupled with some advanced military theories, and also quoted and quoted scriptures, which can be regarded as a great painstaking effort.
