Wei and Jin cooks

Zhao Hanzhang hurried to Shanggu County. She didn't know that at the junction of Shanggu County and Beiping County, four armies were facing each other from a distance. The atmosphere was not very good, but no one took action.

Among the four armies, Zu Ti was the most relaxed and looked the best. He still had the strength to send troops to exterminate the nearby bandits.

When Shi Le saw him meddling in Youzhou affairs, he couldn't help but get angry.

Zhang Bin comforted him and said: "Zu Ti is an upright man. He doesn't like the lord, so he doesn't give him face. He will show his dislike so obviously that it's nothing to be afraid of. He's just afraid that he'll be friends with you on the surface but stab you in private." people."

He said: "Although the appointment has not been approved, everyone knows that you are the governor of Youzhou. He is helping you by eradicating the bandits for Youzhou. As the master, you should thank him. In the future, he will be the governor of Qingzhou. You are the governor of Youzhou, and the two states share a border and should live in harmony."

Shi Le's anger subsided under Zhang Bin's persuasion, and he was urged by Zhang Bin to prepare some gifts to thank Zu Ti.

Zu Ti received the food, gold, silver and jewelry from Shi Le, but he didn't say anything for a long time.

Zuo Min, his right hand, said proudly, "General, Shi Le has surrendered."

Zu Ti glanced at him lightly, then looked to his left hand, "Zhao Shi, what do you think?"

Zhao Shi is very different from before. The constant battles in this year have made the little baby fat on his face disappear, leaving only firm eyes. At this time, his eyes are clear and clear. He smiled and said: "General, Shi Le has a big heart, then I can’t fall behind any longer.”

Zu Ti snorted softly when he heard this, but the breath that was blocked in his heart was relieved a lot. He said: "I know that the commander-in-chief recruits Shi Le for the overall situation, but he killed many of my Han people, and I can't get over that hurdle in my heart."

Zu Ti paused and then said: "But you are right, he has a big heart, and Zu is not a narrow-minded person. You can find something to repay him with."

Zhao Shi agreed, ran to the kitchen, dug out a jar of wine, and ran away regardless of the cook chasing after him.

He personally carried the wine to Shi Le, indicating that it was given to him by their general.

A cart of grain and several boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were exchanged for a jar of wine. Not only was Shi Le not angry, but he laughed and accepted it happily.

Glancing at the confused Zuo Min, Zu Ti sighed and said, "Read more books if you have nothing to do. Isn't Zhao Shi teaching people to read in the army? You should also learn some."

Zuo Min was unhappy, "Does the general dislike me for not being smart enough?"

Zu Ti said "Yeah" and said, "It's not your fault that you're not smart. After all, you're born with it. But you know you're not smart enough, but you don't study and make progress. That's your fault."

Zuo Min: ...He suffered a huge blow both physically and mentally.

Zu Ti stopped talking to the angry Zuo Min. He lowered his eyes and began to think. Shi Le had a good counselor. He just hoped that he could be loyal to Zhao Hanzhang. Otherwise, he could completely govern Youzhou.

but……

Zu Ti never puts his hope in others, especially a barbarian. When he goes to Qingzhou, he must train his troops well and be vigilant at all times.

It's a pity that Qingzhou is poor and small, far less vast than Youzhou.

When Zu Ti was thinking about Shi Le, Shi Le was following Zhang Bin's suggestion and also sent a force to suppress the bandits.

It was said to be a suppression of bandits, but in fact it meant that they were not allowed to gather together to rob passers-by and villages. They were asked to report to the nearest county government office, and they were registered and divided into fields like refugees.

After all, most of the bandits on the mountain are victims of disasters. If the bandits are really killed, there will not be many people alive in Youzhou.

When Zu Ti suppressed bandits, he naturally did not give Shi Le an advantage. He incorporated the bandits he defeated into miscellaneous soldiers. Now that he has accepted Shi Le's gift, he will not suppress the bandits again. Instead, he will hand over the defeated bandits to Shi Le.

Zu Ti and Shi Le were getting along more and more harmoniously, at least on the surface, Tuoba Yilu looked a little anxious.

Thinking that the future governor of Youzhou would be Shi Le, he couldn't help but feel restless and his face was gloomy for several days.

Just as he was secretly angry, a message came from a fast horse. One of his nephews, Tuoba Yulu, ran in and loudly reported: "Khan, something big happened in Jinyang!"

Tuoba Yilu said angrily: "Jinyang is not ours. What does it have to do with us if something big happens in Jinyang?"

Tuoba Yulu paused for a moment and then said: "Uncle is no longer the governor of Bingzhou. He is going to Xuzhou. The new governor of Bingzhou is Beigong Chun. He has arrived in Jinyang and wants to reorganize the border defense."

Tuoba Yilu stood up when he heard this, his breathing became rapid, "What did you say? The new governor of Bingzhou is Bei Gongchun?"

"yes."

Tuoba Yilu gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly, "Well, Zhao Hanzhang, you are waiting for me here."

He was so angry that he turned around to get the sword on the wall, turned around and walked out, "Let's go see Duan Wumuchen."

Tuoba Liuxiu on the side heard this, gritted his teeth, and stepped forward to stop him, "Father, my aunt only promised to change Daijun to Daiguo, and grant the crown prince. As for merging the state, it is an internal matter of Jin, and we should not do it at all. Intervene.”

Tuoba Yilu suddenly turned around and kicked him to the ground, and cursed angrily: "She is just your aunt, and I am your father. It is me she is trying to guard against, so why do you still defend her?" Talk?"

Tuoba Yulu looked at Tuoba Liuxiu with sympathy and disapproval, stopped Tuoba Yilu who was about to take action, and advised: "Sixth Cultivator, our tribe is getting more and more people, and only one Daijun can't accommodate so many people, Bingzhou If uncle makes the decision, we can still go to Bingzhou to make a living in the future, but Bei Gongchun..."

He shook his head and said: "He is good at fighting, and his combat power is not inferior to that of our Tuoba tribe, so how can he use our people? So many tribesmen will starve to death by then."

Tuoba Liuxiu said: "If we have these concerns, we can tell our aunt that she is kind and upright. As long as we are honest, she will definitely help us. We can help each other."

Tuoba Yilu frowned and scolded coldly: "Get lost, this matter has nothing to do with you."

Tuoba Liuxiu lowered his eyes to hide the anger in his eyes, lowered his head and retreated.

Tuoba Yilu was about to go out with Tuoba Yulu when another soldier came to report: "Khan, Zhao Changshi has arrived. He is waiting outside the camp at this time. He said that General Zhao has arrived at Shanggu County and is at Zuti Camp at this time. , she summons you to meet Zhao Changshi."

Tuoba Yilu: "...when did she arrive?"

Isn't this too fast?

The soldier said: "As soon as we arrived, we summoned him immediately."

Tuoba Yilu's heart was ups and downs. After a while, he suppressed his dissatisfaction, twitched his lips and said, "I understand, please step back."

Tuoba Yulu was a little worried and whispered: "Khan, does she know that we want to form an alliance with the Duan family?"

Tuoba Yilu remained silent and didn't speak.
