Chapter 29, transferred to Liaodong
Zu Zhao wanted to get up, but unexpectedly woke up Chen Yuanyuan, who was sleeping together. The two's eyes collided and their eyes aroused bursts of **. Chen Yuanyuan's face turned red in an instant and hurriedly shifted his eyes. After being stunned, he got up and stood by the bed in a daze.
Zu Zhao saw it, coughed softly, and got out of bed. Seeing that each other's clothes were well dressed, he estimated that maybe nothing had happened last night and asked, "What happened to us last night?"
When he asked, Chen Yuanyuan blushed and said shyly, "The adult is drunk and sleeps in his arms. Nothing has happened." Her tone was extremely elegant, and it sounded comfortable, and with her shy state, Zu Zhao couldn't help but be moved. He secretly thought that sooner or later, he would deal with you, but it was not now.
After Chen Yuanyuan said a few words to him, he turned around and went out to pour water for him, and then served him to wash his face. Seeing that she was close to the human body, Zu Zhao liked it very much in his heart. He expected that she was really spoiled by a good flower. In the future, he should keep her by his side. If he wants to spoil it, he should be ruined by himself, and he can't take advantage of others.
Chen Yuanyuan saw that Zu Zhao's face was a little strange and asked what was going on and if he had made him feel uncomfortable. Zu Zhao came to his senses after YY and said, "It's okay. I'm just thinking about something." Although she said this, she was thinking that her shy and beautiful appearance, coupled with the ** temperament of a pure woman she exuded, really made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Chen Youzhi, who went out to do business, also returned to the inn. As for what he was doing, he did not intend to say, and Zu Zhao and others did not intend to ask. Everyone's privacy rights should still be left to others. If he pays too much attention to his every move now, it may bring disgust to Chen Youzhi.
At this moment, there is already a sea of people inside and outside the inn. Everyone is carrying big and small bags. Many people should push the car and lead the horse to wait outside. They have left here with Chen Youzhi. Many people are people who have no fixed arable land here, so they decided to leave here with Chen Youzhi. They have to meet a good county magistrate, and they don't want to suffer here next.
When Zu Zhao saw that so many people were willing to follow Chen Youzhi and himself, he took a fancy to Chen Youzhi. After dinner, they prepared some materials needed on the road in the city, so the team set off magnificently. Everyone stayed day and night, nothing happened all the way, and returned to Youzhou safely. And those people who followed them also stayed in a county, because Zu Zhao has no right to appoint Chen Youzhi to do any official position, and naturally he can't control those people.
However, Zu Zhao has some reputation in all counties and counties in Youzhou. He doesn't look at the monk's face and looks at the Buddha's face. Naturally, the county magistrate is the residence arranged for the people who followed him, and promised to help these people with all his strength and let them settle down as soon as possible.
As soon as he returned to Youzhou and had time to do some rest in the future, Zu Zhao was immediately recruited by the state herdsman, saying that after his recommendation, the county guard of Liaodong agreed to let Zu Zhao be the main book and fully assist the county guard. Zu Zhao was very surprised to hear the news. He went to Liaodong County. Isn't this always the right thing for him, and he was directly promoted to the Liaodong Princess Book, and then it was much more convenient for his development.
After thanking Zhou Mu, Zu Zhao went home and told his grandfather Zu Ju the news. Zu Ju was also very happy to learn that Zu Zhao had been elected as the lord of Liaodong. He sighed that his Zhaoer was capable and would definitely become a great weapon in the future. Zu Zhao answered secretly in his heart, of course, it will be a big thing. His wish is to unify the world, and he is not only satisfied to be a small Liaodong princess book.
After discussing with Grandpa, they decided to move the whole family to Liaodong County. And Ma Yuan, Su De, Chen Youzhi and Chen Yuanyuan's granddaughter brought back by Zu Zhao this time naturally followed them. The group arrived in Liaodong County. After everyone temporarily settled down, Zu Zhao went to see Liu Zhen, the governor of Liaodong County alone.
Liu Zhen has royal blood, but the older generation was defeated in a series of palace battles. Fortunately, he did not fall into the situation of being all killed, but he has been suppressed. Fortunately, Liu Zhen is also fighting hard and has been working hard. With talent, naturally someone can appreciate it. Previously, he made repeated achievements in the crusade against the yellow scarf, so now he has taken the post of county guard of Liaodong County, which is not humiliating the reputation of his royal descendants.
Zuzu Zhao sent someone to greet the county guard in advance, saying that he would visit the county guard one day. Doing so is also a matter of etiquette, so as not to be too abrupt and give people a sense of recklessness. After the appointment date and a notice, Zu Zhao finally met with the county guard. The county guard had some friendship with Lu Zhi, Huangpu Song and others. He had heard from them about Zu Zhao's heroic deeds against the yellow scarf thief before. At that time, when the state pastor elected Zu Zhao to the position of Liaodong County, he immediately agreed. Today, I finally looked forward to Zu Zhao, and I was also a little excited.
"The martyrs meet the county guard." When Zu Zhao saw Liu Zhen, the county guard, he immediately bowed and saluted. He usually gave people an elegant scholar, but when he did things, he was very generous, so everyone praised him. In today's words, it is to enter the kitchen and enter the hall.
"Please get up quickly. I'm really lucky to have your help." Liu Zhen hurriedly helped Zu Zhao up and invited him to sit down together. Zu Zhao went into the room and found that it was full of people. Seeing them come in, everyone got up and saluted the county guard, and also looked at Zu Zhao with respect.
Zui Zhao understands that these are the auxiliary officials of the county guard, and the county guard wants him to get to know each other. In this way, everyone works together, familiarizes with the other party's respective situation and duties earlier, and can be better carried out when working early. Now it's a troubled time, and things happen every day that can't be guessed. With precautions, you won't even know who to be responsible for at the critical moment, which will be embarrassing.
"Dear everyone, let me introduce to you that this is Zu Zhaozu Liechen, who trusts my Liaodong princess book. He is a person with outstanding military achievements and is appreciated by many people. Now it is really a great blessing for my Liaodong County to come to serve in Liaodong County." Liu Zhen introduced it to the people present.
When everyone heard the words, they got up and greeted Zu Zhao, saying some good words, saying that they were young and talented, talented, and so on. Zu Zhao knew that this was a word of official praise. When these people met him for the first time, they still didn't know their true ability. After working here for so many years, a young man suddenly came to become their boss. If they really admired him, it would be impossible.
However, Zu Zhao knew that although most of their words were empty, they were very useful in his heart. Although he would not be floating, he would not pretend to be B in front of them coldly. However, he naturally has some modesty. For those who say too much, he will naturally laugh at himself and be humble, which leaves a better impact on everyone and the county guard, and feels that he is indeed a very good person.
However, Zu Zhao found that when everyone was enthusiastic, there was only one person who was not lure and seemed to pay much attention to Zu Zhao. It turned out that this person was Jiang Yan, the captain of Liaodong County, who was in charge of the military affairs here. He has been working in Liaodong County for many years, and he has been fighting with Liu Zhennan for many years. He heard that Zu Zhao was also a person who was good at fighting, and he was called a "rele minister". He thought he was a great figure, but now when he saw it, he turned out to be such a white-faced young student, and he was suddenly unconvinced.
Liu Zhen, the county guard, naturally saw Jiang Yan's unhappy attitude towards Zu Zhao. He was a favorite general who had followed him for many years and did not want to blame him. Zu Zhao also doesn't want to argue with him here. After all, he can't convince everyone now. In the vast land, there are countless talents and martial arts above him. Zhuge Liang doesn't trust him much before and after coming out of the mountain. And his current talent is less than one tenth of that of Zhuge and others, and it is not a big deal not to be liked.
However, Zu Zhao knew a little clearly that he came to the world with a plug-in with his golden finger. He couldn't be more aware of all their direction and the development of the future situation. If he can't beat them like this, it's really too incompetent.
Who would have expected that Zu Zhao would not care about him, but Jiang Yan would have to argue with Zu Zhao. He slowly got up and asked, "The master is brave and good at fighting. I have a question today, and I would like to ask the master for advice."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help sighing. Isn't it obvious to embarrass Zu Zhao? Liu, the county guard, is also a little unhappy. This is the person recommended by the state pastor. If the state pastor knows that he has suffered difficulties in the county, he will be unhappy. Now he is about to rise in tune, don't miss his big things because of a little thing. Originally, the county guard wanted to stop Jiang Yan's difficulties, but Zu Zhao smiled and asked the county guard not to worry too much. He said loudly, "We are all colleagues. We work together for the county guard, and at the same time, we also work for the country. It is normal to discuss and study together. I don't know what the captain has to teach.
Jiang Yan smiled coldly and said, "I dare not give advice. I'm asking the master."
Zu Zhao said, "Whether you ask for advice or give advice, it doesn't matter. If the martyrs can answer, they will answer by themselves. If they can't, there are so many colleagues sitting here. If we study together, they will definitely get along well with the countermeasures." He can pull over what he is doing. In fact, he wants to isolate Jiangyan intentionally or unintentionally, and it is also a step for himself. Who knows what strange and tricky things the captain will come up?
"I heard that the master has defeated the yellow scarf thief many times. Now my Liaodong County belongs to a remote county, and I often find the invasion of thieves and other satisfiing forces, but the number of troops in the county has not increased. If tens of thousands of troops suddenly besieged my Liaodong County, Lord, what can you do to solve this crisis? Lieutenant Jiang Yan asked coldly.
Zu Zhao couldn't help thinking that this man was really going to embarrass himself. This is a simple offensive and defensive problem. It is not difficult, but first figure out how many troops are available in the county and how long the grain reserve can last. If he doesn't know these and blindly says the measures, then he will definitely falsely report the data he needs to deliberately make things difficult for him. In this way, he will change his strategy again and again. There is a saying that he is very fast, and there is not so much time for him to debug the strategy on the battlefield.
Zu Zhao smiled and asked, "Before that, I would like to ask how many tens of thousands of thieves are in the captain's mouth?"
Jiang Yan smiled coldly and said impatiently, "Let's say it's 50,000. If you go to others, will it be easy for people to know how many troops you have taken?"
As soon as he said this, everyone here couldn't help laughing, and Jiang Yan was also very proud. Zu Zhao shook his head and smiled with them, thinking that the captain was really not simple. He found his speaking loophole so quickly. It seemed that he would really make things difficult for himself.
"The captain's words are reasonable. However, when the thief attacks, it must not be silent. When they step into the boundary of Liaodong County, our detectives must be able to find out some information. If they are not aware of it at all, then the people we raise are really useless, which only shows that we are stupid and incompetent as leaders and not good at using people. There is a saying that a soldier is a coward. Zu Zhao said humbly.
The last two sentences were heard by everyone, and someone asked what it meant before Jiang Yan. As soon as Zu Zhao showed off, he knew that you didn't know. For you now, but the great prophet who knew thousands of years wanted to fight with me, and you were still a little tender. Explained:
That is to say, if the soldier is incompetent, he may be alone, but if the general is incompetent, then all his soldiers are also incompetent. May I ask a person of insight who would be willing to follow such a cowardly general? It's just that he can't make contributions. If he makes a wrong decision and loses his life, it's not worth it.
Hearing what he said, the lieutenant officer did not dare to laugh anymore. They all nodded secretly to express their admiration. What he said was indeed true. There was no dog at the door, which they all knew. A good general can bring a remnant army into an elite army, and an incompetent general, an elite army, can only be given to him for nothing. The soldier died.
"Lord, please don't talk about him and answer my questions head-on." Jiang Yan said very unhappily.
Zu Zhao said, "I'm really answering the captain's question. The art of war, knowing myself and knowing the enemy, there are thieves coming to attack. Naturally, we will not blindly attack the enemy. Only when we always score clear the boulder can we take corresponding measures. Before officially answering the captain's question, I also want to ask how many soldiers and horses are available in our army?
"less than 10,000." Jiang Yan answered quickly.
How much is less than 10,000? Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine?" Zu Zhao asked on purpose.
Jiang Yan's eyes widened with anger, clenched his fist and said, "7,000."
The county guard coughed and said in Zu Zhao's ear, "Our Liaodong County is indeed less than 7,000 now. Due to the war, the people here have fled to death, and it is difficult to find a strong man to join the army."
Zu Zhao nodded, but thought in his heart: "This shows that you are not smart enough. Whether you can recruit strong men to join the army is not just recruiting. If there is not enough motivation, who will be willing to put his head on his belt and fight with you? There are old and young people in their homes. If they The old and young in the family have been killed in the battle and there is no one to support him. How can this work?
"Then how much food and fodder do I have in Liaodong County now? If the soldiers and civilians in the city choose to defend, how long can they stay in the hidden state?" Zu Zhao heard.
"Full state?" Jiang Yan looked at Zu Zhao puzzledly and didn't know what he was talking about. Naturally, he didn't know how to answer, and the county guard and other officers were also in doubt.
Zu Zhao smiled slightly and replied, "It is to maintain the good state of the soldiers so that they will not lose their combat effectiveness due to hunger, that is, their combat effectiveness should be in the strongest state." After saying that, he couldn't help thinking to himself: It's troublesome to communicate with you people. This is a good explanation. If you encounter those words that can only be unspeakable, how can you ask me to explain it to you?
The captain replied, "It can't last for a month."
Zu Zhao nodded secretly again. Although it seemed that the captain was deliberately trying to make things difficult him, now it gave him an understanding of the armaments here in advance. After he officially took office, he also had a clue to deal with these materials and knew a priority.
Zuzuo replied, "In this case, we can't easily send troops to meet the enemy. We have to defend the city first. The thieves came all the way and worked hard all the way. Naturally, their mental state was not as good as our sergeants. If they attacked immediately, although we only had less than 7,000 people, it was not easy for them to easily attack the city with the help of our defensive tools. During this period, we can send a team to break out and ask for reinforcements elsewhere. As long as we can hold for half a month, when the reinforcements come, we can naturally repel the enemy.
The captain sneered and said, "What the master said is light, but the enemy is tens of thousands of people. How can you break through easily? I'm afraid they have been shot dead before they rush to their camp.
Zui Zhao said quietly, "What if we go out in the name of seeking peace? Thieves come to attack, and they are naturally happy that they can win the city without fighting.
"Mand? Fortunately, you can say that I can't afford to ask for peace with the thief. Jiang Yan said loudly, quite abusive and contemptuous, and other assistants also whispered, but the county guard did not make a face. He knew that what Zu Zhao said was not to really seek peace. He was waiting for Zu Zhao to say the following words.
Zuzuo said, "We are not really seeking peace, but falsely seeking peace, so that they can relax their vigilance."
"Do you think the enemy will not know your tricks? Besides, if you send someone out to ask for peace, they will definitely choose to open the door and surrender directly. How can there be a chance for you to go out to move rescue troops? Jiang Yan said.
Zu Zhao smiled and said, "Naturally, it's not as simple as going out directly. Think of it as a good play for the enemy to let them know that there is a contradiction between our internal generals."
