Wei and Jin Cooks Chapter 711

Zhao Hanzhang reached out and pointed at Hedong County and Henan County, saying: "Isn't there still part of Hedong County and Henan County in the hands of the Huns? Let Bei Gongchun and Erlang order troops to take back these places and transfer some from Yuzhou Soldiers and horses come, wait for these lost lands to be recovered, Chen Bing outside Pingyang County."

  Fu Tinghan also finished reading the letter, went to the map and looked at it for a while and asked, "What about Hongnong County and Feng Yi County?"

Zhao Hanzhang's eyes flashed, he turned his head and looked at him, and said: "Fight together, if you want to contain the Xiongnu's troops and make them have scruples, naturally the more places you fight, the better, but be careful, grasp the speed, don't As for letting Shi Le send troops to serve the king."

   Ji Yuan frowned, "Is there enough troops?"

Zhao Hanzhang's eyes fell on Chang'an, "Writing to Chang'an, it's been a year, and the soldiers and horses that Grandfather Fu recruited should be used. Isn't Chang'an always famine? Expand outward and capture the occupied areas of Feng Yi County. Maybe it can solve the urgent need."

In Fengyi County and Hongnong County, not many places were occupied by the Xiongnu, especially in Hongnong County. The existing red-marked plots were not taken down by the Huns, but when the Huns attacked Luoyang, the local officials and gentry immediately reported to the Xiongnu. Surrendered and was therefore placed within the sphere of influence of the Huns.

  Feng Yi County also has several counties like this.

  Zhao Hanzhang is too lazy to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy. Now that the situation in Luoyang has stabilized, she can operate elsewhere.

  So she wants to take over all these pieces of land, continue to collect refugees, open up wasteland, cultivate, and accumulate food and grass.

  Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan wrote a letter to Fu Zhi together, and when the letter was sent out, soldiers were ordered.

  Bei Gongchun and Zhao Erlang were ordered to march towards Hedong County and some counties in Henan County. Chen Shi was envious and came to Zhao Hanzhang, expressing that he was also willing to do the same.

Zhao Hanzhang immediately asked him to go to Hongnong County to collect the two counties that surrendered. If they did not surrender, if they passed by, they should go in and have a seat, and ask them if they would listen to her orders. If they are willing, everyone will be happy. Yes, write a letter and tell her, she will send someone to check whether the other party has no job, whether there is any crime, and find an excuse to change the county magistrate later.

  Chen Shi didn't expect Zhao Hanzhang to speak so bluntly. He was both rascal and aboveboard. He nodded after a while, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely take all these places to you in the end."

  Zhao Hanzhang nodded, "Restrain the soldiers, strictly observe military discipline, and don't offend the people along the way. For the rest, you can do it cheaply."

  How convenient it is.

   Chen Shi took the order and ran away happily.

  No one expected that Zhao Hanzhang would send troops when the New Year's Day was approaching. As soon as Liu Cong's army surrounded Jinyang, news from the south came one after another.

"Zhao Hanzhang sent 80,000 troops, including the ten counties of Xiayi, Jiexian, Jayang, and Xiayang. Chang'an Fu Zhi sent 20,000 troops. He is also attacking Fengyi County and is attacking me in Pingyang. Your Majesty has ordered the general to return to the court. Just in case Zhao Hanzhang."

   Liu Cong's face changed drastically, and he asked, "Where are the others, is it a stick?"

"Both General Liu Qin and General Liu Yao sent troops to resist, but the opposing general was Bei Gongchun. There was a new young general in the Zhao family army. I heard that he was Zhao Hanzhang's younger brother. He was also very brave. He failed to win the opponent three times. In addition, there are more Han people in Hedong County and Fengyi County, and in some cities, before the enemy army arrives, the people in the city have already clamored, and those county officials opened their doors and surrendered."

Liu Cong gritted his teeth with hatred, "The grass on the wall is naturally swaying from side to side. When they surrendered me, I said to kill them, but my father said that it would be chilling and not allowed to kill them. Now it's all right. They can surrender us, so naturally they can Descend Zhao Hanzhang, and lose the city for nothing!"

   At this time, someone and Zhao Hanzhang proposed to kill these officials and generals who surrendered, for exactly the same reason as Liu Cong.

   "Yesterday they surrendered to the Huns because of their power. Today, they surrender to us because of our strength. How do you know that they will not bring their cities to surrender to others in the future?"

  Zhao Hanzhang said: "They surrendered to the Huns before to protect the people in the city from being slaughtered. They are loyal people. How can they speculate so maliciously?"

  She looked righteous, and said solemnly: "This time they have contributed to the city, please return them to Luoyang, I will reward them!"

  The generals and officials who proposed to cut off their heads immediately exploded, "Do you want a big reward?"

  Ming Yu, who also proposed to chop off their heads, swallowed his words and asked instead: "How do you reward the envoy?"

   "Luoyang lacks officials, and they are talented and knowledgeable. In addition to rewarding farms and houses, it is natural to choose a suitable official for them."

  Ming Yu nodded in agreement and asked, "Where will the new magistrate be selected?"

  Zhao Hanzhang smiled at him and said: "You can recommend me, and I will choose someone with outstanding talents and virtues to take up the position."

  It was only then that the others realized that this was to transfer people back and replace them with their own people, so that they would not be afraid of them surrendering to others again.

Can…

   "Can they obey orders? The Xiongnu Han Dynasty didn't replace them before."

  Zhao Hanzhang said: "Since you suspect that they betrayed the Lord again and again, aren't they afraid of your suspicion?"

  So they will definitely obey.

  Zhao Hanzhang guessed right. She asked the magistrates and generals of these counties to return to Luoyang. Although they hesitated and frightened, they still came back.

   Zhao Hanzhang treated them courteously, met them in person, and rewarded them with fields and houses, allowing them to serve as officials in the governor's mansion.

  The news came out that some officials and generals who delayed their time and refused to go to Luoyang hurriedly packed their bags, took their families to Luoyang, and accepted Zhao Hanzhang's appointment;

  And some officials of the early Jin Dynasty who hesitated to surrender, now that the officials of the Huns and the Han Kingdom immediately opened the city gates, they also surrendered;

  The Zhao family army swept over with a kind of destructive thing, and recovered most of Sizhou. Henan County, Hedong County, Fengyi County and most of Hongnong County were all held by Zhao Hanzhang.

  When the news reached Yuncheng, the imperial court was still going back and forth over the matter of the governor of Jizhou. When he heard that Zhao Hanzhang controlled most of Sizhou, the emperor couldn't sit still, and the two sides were fighting.

  He didn't want to worry about the dispute between Wang Jun and Liu Kun, so he asked Zhao Zhongyu privately, "Zhao Shangshu, does Zhao Qing want to follow the example of Uncle Liu Huang and separate the territory from me?"

   Zhao Zhongyu quickly explained for Zhao Hanzhang: "Your Majesty, Zhao Hanzhang has no intention of disobedience. She is here to help Liu Kun contain the Huns and force Liu Cong to retreat. If you don't believe me, wait for a while to see if Liu Cong will retreat?"

The emperor was still uneasy, and said: "Zhao Qing is already the governor of Yuzhou, and Sizhou and Yuzhou are in the world. If she still takes Sizhou to occupy it, then the world will belong to Kyushu, and the two states will belong to her alone, then it will be in the world." .”

  The so-called competition in the Central Plains, the Central Plains refers to Yuzhou and Sizhou. The most important place is occupied by Zhao Hanzhang, but he, the emperor, hides in a corner. What is this like?
