Wei and Jin cooks

Zhao Hanzhang left Zeng Yue to accompany Fu Tinghan to lead the army back, while she and Zhao Kuan returned to Yuzhou first.

Zu Ti and Zhao Yigui sent people outside the city. When she left, he would take over the affairs of Jizhou.

Bi County and Yuncheng were short of county magistrates and several officials, so Zhao Hanzhang asked him to find suitable candidates. When she returned to Yuzhou, if he could not choose a suitable person, she would choose someone else.

The Huns have been conquered, and there are many fewer refugees on the road. Since Zhao Hanzhang's "Book to the People" spread throughout the world, there have been many fewer refugees running south from various places. Most people choose to believe Zhao Hanzhang and stay to wait for the government's arrangements.

Zhao Hanzhang passed by on horseback, and the refugees ran away one after another. Some people felt that they couldn't run away, so they just shivered on the roadside to avoid it. She did not stop and passed directly, but she would slow down her horse when she saw people. , to avoid hitting people.

The refugees huddled on the roadside felt Zhao Hanzhang's thoughtfulness. There was no time for a cart to be completely dragged to the roadside, so she just pulled her horse to avoid it. She did not get angry, kill, or rob.

Only then did someone notice the big flag with the word "Zhao". A smile appeared on his numb face, and he waved to her vigorously, not afraid of the dust, and shouted "General".

Zhao Hanzhang glanced at them and felt a warm current flowing through his heart. He waved to them in a hurry and led the cavalry past.

The army passed by the refugees, villages and towns. As the rumors said, the Zhao Jiajun did not commit any crimes in autumn. The news spread faster than the Zhao Jiajun's march. As a result, when they encountered refugees again, fewer people ran away, and most of them ran away. Most people just stayed on the side of the road and watched them pass by.

When Ming Yu, who was walking on the road, heard the news, he couldn't help but grinned and said to his left and right, "You are a bit faster. It seems that the negotiations in Shanggu County are going well. We might as well wait here and return with the army."

He said: "We have news now, but it will probably take a few days until the army catches up. We are already close to Meng County, why not go back first?"

Ming Yu was thinking about it when he suddenly felt the ground shaking. His face changed slightly, a chill ran down his spine, and he asked, "What's the movement?"

His personal guards immediately lay down on the ground to listen, then jumped up and said: "There are cavalry, and there are a lot of them. I heard the noise is more than three thousand."

Ming Yu was in disbelief, "We are almost approaching Yuzhou, where are so many cavalry from unknown origins coming from?"

The leading general, Cheng Da, ran over and said, "Sir, please stay away for now."

While talking, he organized the defense of the whole army. The cavalry came too fast. They didn't know whether it was an enemy or a friend yet, so be careful first.

However, Cheng Da's heart was pounding and he was a little scared.

Because there are only a thousand soldiers in their team, and the rest are all logistics, clerks, and some documents, baggage, and coffins that need to be brought back to Yuzhou...

Yes, the coffins of Zhao Zhongyu and Zhao Ji, as well as the coffins of many famous officials, will be sent back to Yuzhou together with the emperor's coffins.

Ming Yu did not follow Zhao Hanzhang to Shanggu County for negotiations. He and the logistics and clerical staff returned to Yuzhou first because there were too many things and there were too many people. Most of them were doing clerical work. Even though they could not mount a horse or shoot a gun, That's a problem, but they are basically useless.

They followed Zhao Hanzhang because the news from all over the country was collected and needed to be processed by Zhao Hanzhang, so their team was equivalent to half a small court.

In order to reduce food and grass consumption and other problems, they did not follow Zhao Hanzhang to Shanggu County, but returned to Yuzhou in advance with Ming Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, the journey was safe, but an accident occurred when approaching Yuzhou.

Everyone was on guard, and then they saw a rider appear at the end of the road. Before they could see the person clearly, they saw the fluttering "Zhao" flag. Ming Yu's expression relaxed, and Cheng Da's eyes widened. Liang, immediately ask the team to retreat to both sides in an orderly manner.

As the cavalry team approached, Cheng Da had already recognized Zhao Hanzhang on the horse, so he smiled and was about to greet him, but Zhao Hanzhang only stepped aside, and then waved his hand for Zhao Guanzhang to continue moving forward.

Zhao Kuan did not stop, he just reduced his speed and led the army through.

Ming Yu felt bad when he saw them riding two horses, so as soon as Zhao Hanzhang stopped, he immediately asked, "But something happened in Yuzhou?"

Zhao Hanzhang paused for a moment and then said: "No, there were rebels in Bei County, but they have been put down."

Ming Yu and the others passed through Wuyi County ten days ago and stayed in Xindu for two days to collect information about Jizhou counties before continuing southbound. They did not know about the rebellion in Bei County behind them. Hearing this, he felt nervous and asked Said: "Are the casualties serious?"

Zhao Hanzhang comforted him and said: "Fortunately, they surrendered quickly, but the two county magistrates of Beixian and Yuncheng both died in the city."

Ming Zhou knew about them. When they were selected, he and Zhao Hanzhang took the exam together. One was named Zhao Jiashi and the other was Zhao Yicheng. They were both outstanding students in the school. Moreover, they were from Yushan Hall and were loyal to Zhao Hanzhang.

Ming Yu felt a little bad when he heard this, and at the same time he reacted, "Is it possible that someone is deliberately instigating this matter to make you afraid that something will happen in Yuzhou too?"

Zhao Hanzhang nodded and said: "In order to attack Youzhou and pacify the Xiongnu, the army is outside. There is only one Zhao family army in Yuzhou at this time."

Ming Yu said: "There is also Xun Xiu's Xun family army. You have a very good reputation in Yuzhou, and the Zhao family has been in business for many years. Even if someone instigates rebellion for a while, they will definitely not be able to attack His Majesty."

Zhao Hanzhang said nothing with a sullen face.

Ming Yu was startled as soon as he thought about it, his heart was horrified, and he whispered: "Could it be Xun Xiu..."

Zhao Hanzhang said: "I have to take the first step, sir, please go slowly."

Ming Yu was still in the mood to go slowly. He immediately pulled a horse from the team and said, "Your Majesty, I will go back with you."

Zhao Hanzhang said: "We are riding two horses. We do not stop on the way and just change horses. Sir, one horse cannot keep up with our speed."

Ming Yu immediately snatched the attendant's horse and said: "I also have two horses."

Ming Yu's entourage couldn't help but look around and found that he couldn't find a suitable horse.

Because they are all horses pulling things here, except for a few people who have their own horses, the rest are either crowded on the bullock carts and horse carts, or relying on two legs.

This is one of the reasons why they march so slowly.

Ming Yu mounted his horse and said to his anxious entourage: "You go with the army."

After that, he took the horse and chased Zhao Hanzhang.

Zhao Hanzhang caught up with the large army, and Ming Yu also rode up to catch up. He asked her in a loud voice from the side, "Have you sent someone back to inform?"

Zhao Hanzhang: "I have sent a messenger back first."

It would be best if Xun Xiu didn't have this idea, and they could guard against others; if so, I hope the messenger could be one step ahead and let Xun Xiu know that she was coming back, so that she would be wary and not risk her own life.

Unfortunately, the messenger was still a step too late.

See you tomorrow
