He felt that the smart Zhao Hanzhang would not want to go to his camp, so he did not mention it and directly proposed to meet in front of the army.

Zhao Hanzhang agreed immediately, and she said: "I just came back and I haven't seen the Yuzhou soldiers yet. When I see them, I will take a few generals to see General Gou."

Gou Xi's people had been keeping a close eye on the camp in Yuzhou. Naturally, they knew that Zhao Hanzhang had just entered the camp. After calculating the time, they did not have time to see Xun Xiu and others.

Ming Yu agreed with a smile and took the initiative to move the time later. After both parties agreed on a time to meet, he said goodbye and left.

Zhao Hanzhang asked Qiu Wu to send him out.

After the people left, the smile on her face fell. "It seems that Gou Xi sent people to stare at each river, but they failed to stare at the other side."

Zhao Ming raised his eyes and looked at her, "The King of East China Sea is a fool, but he is not so incompetent. What's more, he also has capable people under him. If Gou Xi's people can even know the news on the other side, then this battle will be useless. Coming to find you."

Zhao Ming paused after saying this and sat up slightly, "Is Fu Zhongshu also involved?"

Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand and said: "I persuaded the people to go back. They only have 20,000 people. What can they do? The King of Donghai just sent out a group of people and took them in."

Zhao Ming tapped his knee lightly with his finger, "So, Fu Zhongshu returned to Luoyang?"

Zhao Hanzhang smiled at him.

Zhao Ming asked, "What about you? Do you really want to join forces with Gou Xi to attack the King of East China Sea?"

Zhao Hanzhang: "It depends on whether King Donghai dares to take action. If he takes the initiative, then I will work together with Gou Xi to take him in. If he returns honestly, I will naturally not act as a swordsman for Gou Xi."

"Can you defeat Gou Xi?"

Zhao Hanzhang raised his chin slightly and said proudly: "Although Yuzhou's military strength is not as good as Yanzhou's, we are not helpless to fight back. If Gou Xi dares to attack me, will the King of Donghai give up this good opportunity?"

So Gou Xi was mentally retarded to attack her.

She promised Gou Xi to stand by his side, but that was only when the King of Donghai took the initiative. Well, although the prerequisite was not stated at the beginning, it did not prevent her from adding it.

What else could Zhao Ming say? This matter was beneficial to Yuzhou and it was not considered a breach of trust. Naturally, he would not stop it.

Xun Xiu and other generals and officials received the notice and hurried back to the camp to meet Zhao Hanzhang.

Zhao Hanzhang sat in the upper position, where Zhao Ming had been sitting before, but Xun Xiu and others were not very convinced that he sat in that position, but because the Zhao family's army had a large number of people, and Zhao Hanzhang had frequent successes, they temporarily tolerated it. down.

At this time, when they saw Zhao Hanzhang sitting upright, everyone lowered their heads and had no objection. They raised their hands and saluted: "Greetings to General Zhao."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded and saw Prefect Zhang who was unwilling to mingle among the crowd.

Alas, this person is an acquaintance. This is how she met him outside Aoyang City a year ago.

Zhao Hanzhang smiled, raised his hand and said, "Excuse me, please sit down."

Everyone sat on both sides according to their official positions. Zhao Hanzhang looked at Prefect Zhang and smiled, "When did Prefect Zhang come? What is the current situation in Ruyin County? How many troops do you have now?"

Prefect Zhang had many words stuck in his mind due to these questions.

Zhao Hanzhang's three questions completely put himself in the position of the governor, but... Zhang Taishou has not yet admitted that she is the governor, and neither has the court!

So Zhang Taishou did not answer gloomily and turned his head to the side.

At this moment, Zhao Hanzhang made a decision in her heart that she wanted to replace the prefect of Ruyin County.

She smiled, looking unconcerned, turned to look at Xun Xiu, and asked, "Who is Chen Bing by the river now?"

Xun Xiu bowed slightly and said, "He is the last general."

"How old is Chen Bing?"

"Twenty thousand people."

Zhao Hanzhang: "Have you ever done anything?"

Xun Xiu shook his head, "No." He paused and then said, "Without the general's order, we dare not take action rashly."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded with satisfaction, "Let them confront each other, we will not rush to make a decision, let the soldiers exercise restraint and just watch the show from the sidelines."

Mi Ce couldn't help but said with a grimace: "But there is not much food and grass in the army. The troops are always hoarded here. The soldiers are impetuous and will inevitably cause trouble."

Yu Sheng also said: "We just fought with the Xiongnu. The soldiers are homesick and war-weary, and they don't want to stay here for a long time."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded and said: "I know, these few days should be regarded as rest. First, appease the soldiers. Once the King of East China Sea retreats, everyone can return home."

Prefect Zhang asked solemnly, "Why did General Zhao drag Yuzhou into the fight between King Donghai and Gou Xi? Isn't this putting Yuzhou in trouble?"

Zhao Hanzhang: "Of course I don't want to do this either. But the imperial court won't send reinforcements. Under the iron heel of the Huns, do we have any other choice?"

Everyone was silent.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "When Yuzhou is in danger, only General Gou is willing to send troops to help, just to repay our kindness. When General Gou is in trouble, we should also repay him."

People who join the army are somewhat loyal. Although Xun Xiu and others did not want to get involved in the dispute between King Donghai and Gou Xi, they agreed with Zhao Hanzhang's point of view, so they nodded and said, "We will listen to the general's orders."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded with satisfaction and said: "With the Xiongnu retreating, we can consider it a great victory in Yuzhou. However, this time the people were displaced and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties. I really can't be happy. I will pass on the order and all the three armies will mourn. In the evening, we will have wine, water and meat to commemorate those who died in this battle. And reward the three armies.”

The generals responded and became happy, instantly forgetting Prefect Zhang's provocative words.

Rewards in the army are always connected with sacrifices. Whenever there is a big reward for the three armies, everyone must first sacrifice wine and meat to their fallen comrades.

This is one of the reasons why people always eat banquets during funerals in the Central Plains.

Eating a banquet means that the first is to clear up the mystery, the second is to reward, and the third means that the living should cheer up and look forward.

Yuzhou had just experienced a fierce battle, and now the hundreds of thousands of troops of King Donghai and Gou Xi were confronting each other again in Yuzhou. The mood of the soldiers and the people was low, and they needed a banquet to boost their morale.

Zhao Hanzhang gave the order, and the three armies immediately moved into action, washing rice, cooking, killing chickens and sheep, and it was very lively.

Even the King of Donghai on the other side knew about their movements and couldn't help asking, "Why is the Yuzhou Army on the other side so busy?"

Someone immediately went down and came up after a while and said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Hanzhang has returned from victory and is giving orders to reward the three armies."

King Donghai sat up straight after hearing this and asked: "What about Bei Gongchun? Since you are back, why don't you come to see him first?"

Although they don't want to admit it, in the eyes of the world, the King of Donghai represents the court and orthodoxy. Zhao Hanzhang and Bei Gongchun should indeed come to see the King of Donghai first after returning from victory.

but……

"It seems that Bei Gongchun is not in the army, and Zhao Hanzhang..." The staff paused, didn't you know that Zhao Hanzhang and Gou Xi are wearing the same pants now? Why would he ask such a embarrassing question?
