Wei and Jin cooks

Zhao Hanzhang reached out and pointed at Hedong County and Henan County, and said: "Aren't some parts of Hedong County and Henan County still in the hands of the Huns? Let Beigong Chun and Erlang order troops to take back these places and transfer some more from Yuzhou Soldiers and horses are coming, and when these lost lands are recovered, we will send troops outside Pingyang County."

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

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

Ji Yuan frowned, "Are there enough troops?"

Zhao Hanzhang's eyes fell on Chang'an, "Writing to Chang'an, it's been a year, and the troops and horses recruited by Grandpa Fu should be used. Hasn't Chang'an been suffering from famine? Expand outwards and capture the occupied areas of Feng Yi County. Maybe it can solve an urgent need.”

There are not many places occupied by the Xiongnu in Fengyi County and Hongnong County, especially in Hongnong County. The existing land marked in red was not conquered by the Huns, but when the Huns attacked Luoyang, local officials and nobles immediately attacked the Huns. surrendered and was therefore included in the Xiongnu sphere of influence.

Feng Yi County also has several counties in this situation.

Zhao Hanzhang was too lazy to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. Now that the situation in Luoyang had stabilized, she could move to other places to operate.

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

Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan wrote a letter to Fu Zhi together. When sending the letter, they ordered troops.

Bei Gongchun and Zhao Erlang took the order to march to Hedong County and some counties in Henan County. Chen Wu was jealous and came to Zhao Hanzhang, saying that he was also willing to do the work of dogs and horses.

Zhao Hanzhang immediately asked him to go to Hongnong County and collect the two counties that surrendered. If those who did not surrender were passing by, stop by and ask them if they were willing to obey her orders. If they were willing, everyone would be happy. If not, everyone would be happy. If you are willing, write back and tell her, and she will send someone to check whether the other party is employed and whether he has committed any crime, and then find an excuse to change the county magistrate later.

Chen Wu did not expect Zhao Hanzhang to speak so straightforwardly, both rogue and upright. He was stunned for a while before nodding, patting his chest and saying: "Don't worry, the general will take over all these places for you."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded, "Restrain the officers and soldiers, strictly observe military discipline, and do not violate the common people along the way. For the rest, you can do whatever is easy for you."

Whatever is convenient for you.

Chen Wu accepted the order and ran away happily.

No one expected that Zhao Hanzhang would send troops when the New Year 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 to the ten counties of Yishi, Jiexian, Jiayang, and Xiayang. Chang'an Fu Zhi sent 20,000 troops to attack Fengyi County and invade Pingyang. Your Majesty has ordered the general to return to the court with his troops. To prevent Zhao Hanzhang."

Liu Cong's expression changed drastically and he asked, "Where are the others? Are they Bang Chui?"

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

Liu Cong gritted his teeth with hatred, "The grasshoppers are naturally swaying. When they surrendered to me, I said I would kill them, but my father said it would chill people's hearts and not allow them to be killed. Now it's better. If they can surrender us, they can naturally do the same." Surrender Zhao Hanzhang and lose the city in vain!"

At this time, someone and Zhao Hanzhang were proposing to kill the surrendered officials and generals for the same reason as Liu Cong.

"Yesterday they surrendered to the Huns because they were powerful. Today, they surrendered to us because of our strong military strength. Who knows that they won't 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 make such malicious speculations?"

With a righteous look on her face, she said solemnly: "They have done a great job in presenting the city this time. Please ask them to return to Luoyang. I will reward them heavily!"

The generals and officials who suggested cutting off their heads exploded instantly, "You want a heavy reward?"

Ming Yu, who also suggested cutting off their heads, swallowed his words and asked instead: "How will you reward me?"

"Luoyang is short of officials. They are talented and knowledgeable. In addition to rewarding them with fields and houses, it is natural to choose suitable officials for them."

Ming Yu nodded in agreement and asked, "Where do you select the new county magistrate?"

Zhao Hanzhang smiled at him and said, "You can make recommendations to me. I will choose those with outstanding talents and virtues to serve."

Only then did the others realize that they wanted 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 and Han Dynasties didn't replace them before."

Zhao Hanzhang said: "Since you suspect that they betray their master again and again, aren't they afraid of your suspicion?"

So they will definitely obey orders.

Zhao Hanzhang's guess was good. She asked the magistrates and generals of these counties to return to Luoyang. Although they were hesitant and frightened, they still came back.

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

When the news came out, some officials and generals who had delayed going to Luoyang quickly packed their bags, took their families to Luoyang, and accepted Zhao Hanzhang's appointment;

Some of the early Jin officials who were hesitant and did not dare to surrender saw the Xiongnu and Han officials immediately open the city gates and surrendered too;

Zhao Jiajun swept over with a devastating force and recovered most of Sizhou. Most of Henan County, Hedong County, Fengyi County and part of Hongnong County were held in Zhao Hanzhang's hands.

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

He no longer wanted to worry about the dispute between Wang Jun and Liu Kun, so he left Zhao Zhongyu in private to ask him, "Zhao Shangshu, does Zhao Qing want to follow Uncle Liu's example and cede territory to me?"

Zhao Zhongyu quickly explained for Zhao Hanzhang: "Your Majesty, Zhao Hanzhang has no disloyal heart. She is here to help Liu Kun contain the Huns and force Liu Cong to retreat. If you don't believe me, just 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 among the world. If she still takes Sizhou and takes it, all the nine states in the world will be owned by her, and she will be the best in the world. ."

The so-called Zhulu Central Plains, the Central Plains refers to the area between Yuzhou and Sizhou. The most important area was occupied by Zhao Hanzhang, but he, the emperor, was hiding in nooks and crannies. What does this sound like?
