Wei and Jin cooks

Shangdang is located in a strategic location. Wang Mi occupied this strategic location because he was the first to capture Shangdang and had great military exploits. Now that Wang Mi has betrayed the country and died, how could the Han Dynasty still allow him to occupy this location?

Zhao Hanzhang's reminder may not have good intentions, but it is the truth.

Zhang Tao hesitated for a long time, and finally tried to mobilize troops. However, without Wang Mi's handwriting, it was extremely difficult to mobilize troops.

So he thought for a moment and decided to forge the handwriting, as long as it had a seal.

Zhao Hanzhang and his party headed towards the city gate with full load. As soon as they left, before they even walked out of the city gate, the families who were robbed immediately started to move. Some couldn't help slapping their thighs and crying, and some rushed to the governor's office to complain. .

But they were crying, and they still understood the current affairs in their hearts. This move was firstly because they were really heartbroken, and secondly, it was to show Wang Mi's people that they had no choice but to give the things to Zhao Hanzhang, and they did not intend to support the enemy.

They still didn't see Wang Mi, and they were quickly sent away by Zhang Tao, within a quarter of an hour.

After leaving the governor's mansion, everyone had speculations in their minds, "It seems that we haven't seen General Wang since the army came back three days ago."

"This time Zhao Hanzhang marched straight in and hit the gate of the Governor's Mansion, but the general didn't even show up."

Several people had come to a conclusion in their minds, but they didn't say it out loud. Instead, they gathered together to condemn Zhao Hanzhang's banditry behavior and felt that she had insulted the family tradition.

"Alas, it's not enough for the noble family to have Wang Mi, but there is also Zhao Hanzhang."

"But we didn't kill anyone this time," Mr. Qi lowered his voice and said, "I asked around and found that except for killing some soldiers guarding the city when they entered the city, the Zhao army didn't kill anyone after entering the city. I heard that only He injured a woman and was whipped by Zhao Hanzhang’s riding crop.”

"Moreover, they didn't rob all the family's assets, they only robbed the grain, gold and silver in the warehouse."

If some people knew the principle of the Cunning Rabbit's Three Holes, they could still save a lot of things. Yuan Li smelled of blood and looked ruthless, but he didn't hurt anyone or kill anyone. He just took the things and left.

If it were Wang Mi, the result would not be so good.

The few people whose hearts had been pounding slowly calmed down, their eyes moving, and no one knew what they were thinking.

Zhao Hanzhang gained a lot, so the team slowed down a bit. Passing by a restaurant, Zhao Hanzhang smelled the fragrant steamed buns.

Zhao Hanzhang reined in the horse and stopped on the street, watching the team move forward slowly. The fingers of her right hand gently touched the back of her left hand holding the reins. After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't help it and wanted to take out some money from her body.

But she was wearing armor at the moment and couldn't even pick at her belt.

Zeng Yue, Yuan Li and other soldiers were confused and looked at Zhao Hanzhang solemnly, failing to understand her embarrassment.

However, Zhao Erlang and his sister understood it, mainly because he was also hungry, and the steamed buns in the restaurant behind him were so delicious, but the door was closed, so he couldn't even take a look to satisfy his hunger.

So when he saw his sister touching her body, he immediately reacted, took out a box from the horseback bag, and said loudly: "Sister, I have money!"

His tone was full of pride.

When Zhao Hanzhang heard this, he became happy, stretched out his hand and said, "Give me some."

Zhao Erlang handed the entire box to her hand.

Yuan Li, who was standing on one side, stiffened and became nervous.

"You actually used a box to hold the money and put it in the bag. Aren't you afraid of losing it?" Zhao Hanzhang opened the box with a smile. The smile on his face paused when he saw the gems inside, and then the smile faded and stopped smiling. "Erlang, is this money?"

"Yes," Zhao Erlang said, "General Xun said that cloth, gems, and pearls can all be used as money, and they are no cheaper than gold and silver."

Zhao Hanzhang picked up a red gem, looked at it in the sun, and exclaimed: "It's so beautiful. Where did it come from? I remember that all you found in Luoyang were porcelain and wooden screens and couches."

"This was not found in Luoyang, it was given to me by someone just now."

Zhao Hanzhang glanced at Yuan Li, who was sitting on the horse with his head down, and asked Zhao Erlang, "Who gave it to him and how?"

Zhao Erlang was very honest and immediately described the scene, "It was Mr. Qi. His family was very rich. Yuan Li went into the warehouse to pick things. I followed him in. He opened the box and I saw it immediately. The gems inside are sparkling and very beautiful.”

"It looks better when facing the sun, I like it," he said: "Yuan Li asked me if there was anything I liked, so I pointed to it, and then Mr. Qi said he would give it to me."

Zhao Hanzhang closed the box and smiled gently with Zhao Erlang: "Erlang, have you forgotten what I said? All the proceeds after sending troops are trophies, which are used to buy food and grass for the soldiers. Now we can't even pay the soldiers." How can you hide treasures secretly when you come out?"

Zhao Erlang said aggrievedly: "This is not a trophy, it was given to me by Mr. Qi."

"So we can't accept it anymore," Zhao Hanzhang said: "No reward for no merit, what credit can we give to Master Qi?"

Zhao Erlang looked puzzled and pointed to the cattle drive passing by: "Everything in this car is from Master Qi's house. Sister, what contribution can you make to Master Qi?"

Zhao Hanzhang: "I snatched this for Zhao Jiajun."

"Then I stole it too."

Zhao Hanzhang patted him on the head and said, "Fool, you are not allowed to attack the people privately without the order of the general. Do you want to be beheaded?"

Zhao Erlang held the box and felt aggrieved, "This won't work, that won't work either, what should I do?"

"Send it back."

"ah?"

Zhao Hanzhang said calmly: "Return the box to Master Qi. We don't want this box of gems."

When Yuan Li heard this, he immediately dismounted and knelt on the ground.

Zhao Hanzhang glanced at him condescendingly, and said to Zhao Erlang: "Go now, Zeng Yue, you personally lead Erlang there."

Zeng Yue glanced at Yuan Li worriedly, responded, and went back to Qi's house with Zhao Erlang.

Although Zhao Erlang was reluctant to part with the gems, he still listened to his sister and returned the box of gems.

Mr. Qi was startled when he saw Zhao Erlang who had left and returned. When he saw the box stuffed into his arms and the back of Zhao Erlang who left a word and ran away, his heart was complicated and unspeakable.

Zhao Erlang's face was ashamed. He was vaguely aware that he had done something bad, so he didn't want to talk to Master Qi anymore. He stuffed the box into his arms and said: "My sister said that no reward will be given for no merit. This gem Back to you."

After saying that, he mounted his horse and ran away.

Zeng Yue hugged Mr. Qi's fists, led his soldiers to chase him, and escorted Zhao Erlang back to Zhao Hanzhang.

Yuan Li was still kneeling on the ground, his forehead was covered with sweat, but he didn't dare to move.

After they all came back, Zhao Hanzhang said to Yuan Li in front of Zhao Erlang: "I will not do this next time. When you return to Luoyang, you can get twenty military sticks yourself."

Yuan Li breathed a sigh of relief and said "yes".

Zhao Hanzhang warned him: "Yuan Li, you have lost an opportunity for promotion. I don't want you to do it again. I love your talent, but if you do unnecessary things again, no matter how sad and regretful I am, I can only give up." you do not need."

When Yuan Li heard her affirmation of his talent, his eyes turned sour, and he stopped getting up. He directly knelt forward and said: "Yes, I don't dare to disappoint the girl's expectations after my humble position."

Zhao Hanzhang's expression improved and he said calmly: "Get up."

Zhao Hanzhang turned around and glanced regretfully at the restaurant smelling of steamed buns, pulled the reins and said, "Let's go."

See you tomorrow
