Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 823 Defection?Take refuge?
"Zao Song went to see Huan Yi again."

As soon as there was action over there, the Secret Service had already received the news. Tong Hai came over with the documents and handed them to Su Liao.

Su Liao, who had just been promoted and stabilized his status, just took one look and said with a smile: "Okay, I understand. This matter is as expected. When Zaosong went to see Huan Yi, he must have discussed the single-shot cannon. , want to put pressure on us from other aspects, force us to sell, prepare for Wang Jun's attack, and weaken us first."

"Should we send someone to warn them?" Tong Hai asked tentatively.

Su Liao shook his head and said with a smile: "Why warn? Since they want to spend money, it is the best. They have contacted Huan Yi several times before, and they have actually agreed on many details. However, Wang Jun later The news made Huan Yi a little confused, worried that we would change our minds in order to cope with the coming war, so we would find other ways."

When Tong Hai heard this, he thought of the previous instructions from his superior and suddenly understood: "So that's it. The reason why you pretended to be hesitant before was actually to control the other party."

"Not only is it a matter of manipulation, but you can also take the opportunity to increase the price," Su Liao still smiled, "You said that in such a crisis, he insists on asking us to take out this treasure at the bottom of the box and sell it to him. Shouldn't we spend more money? , Agree on some benefits? Otherwise, how can we be tempted?"

Tong Hai also laughed and added: "That's exactly the reason. Not only that, in order to prevent the other party from playing tricks, you have to take out all the money in advance, but you can't pay on credit."

Su Liao nodded and said: "Since you understand everything, let's arrange this matter and don't let them see the clues. This is also a tactic of suspicion. If used properly, it can make Wang Jun make wrong judgments."

Tong Hai also nodded and turned to leave. He only took two steps and turned around. He couldn't bear it any longer and asked: "The single-shot cannon played a great role in guarding Daijun before. Now take it out. How much will it cost?" There are some hidden dangers, I’m afraid if people in this city know about it, some people will raise objections.”

"Don't worry about these," Su Liao chuckled, "Now that the General's Mansion has been established, although the nine staff members have been selected, there are many positions for officials and subordinates to handle specific tasks below. There are many people in and outside the city watching, so there will be no distractions at all. For other things, even if someone talks about it, it won't cause much trouble, as long as people keep an eye on it, but in other counties, you need to pay more attention to prevent someone from sneaking in and sabotaging it. If you encounter a few things that should be combined inside and outside, it will be bad. "

Tong Hai nodded and said: "Don't worry, Shangguan, the people we arranged are keeping an eye on it. The spies sent by Wang Jun in each county are all under surveillance. If there is any slightest sign of trouble, they can immediately close the net!" "

When Su Liao heard this, he became more and more satisfied, and Tong Hai also left.

After the others left, Su Liao handled official duties for a while, and someone came over to report that it was Sun Xiu who had gone to visit Chen Zhi.

"I know." After sending the messenger away, Su Liao sneered, "Finally there is some movement. This person is really good at timing. Just as the lord expected, he is indeed a scheming person. But that's all. After all, It’s also a boost.”

That Sun Xiu is talking about Sun Xiu, the successor of the Taoist sect and counselor who was guarding King Zhao Sun Liu Che. Although this person was born in a humble family, he also had great ambitions and defected to King Zhao and became a staff member of King Zhao.

Shi Le invaded Jizhou and occupied several counties in the east of Hebei. Zhao was besieged. The prince of Zhao fled to Luoyang for help, but Sun Xiu protected Wangsun and fled north. He traveled all over the country and asked for help, but in the end he was not satisfied with Wang Jun. After answering, he took Liu Che back to Daijun.

On the way back, they also met Dharma Jian, Nie Daoren and his party who were heading east to Jixian. The two parties had brief contact, but they did not go in depth.

Counting the days, it has been a while since they returned to Dai County, but apart from the initial visit to Chen Zhi, they have not had any contact with him again.

"I'm afraid you came here at the right time and want to negotiate terms with me." After listening to Chen Duo's report, Chen Zhi knew something about it. He nodded and ordered: "Since you are here, let Sun Please come in, sir, and let me prepare tea."

After a while, the energetic Sun Xiu stepped in. He waved his wide sleeves, greeted Chen Zhi, and then sat on one side.

However, Chen Zhi's eyes fell on the person behind Sun Xiu.

This man was dressed as a guard, but he had a strong physique and piercing eyes. He followed step by step. Although he didn't hold a sword, just by looking at his body, you could tell that he was extraordinary.

Where Sun Xiu was sitting, this man stood to one side, showing the intention of protecting him.

However, the reason why Chen Zhi noticed him was not because of the man's physique, but because of the shadow flickering in his field of vision the moment he saw him.

This kind of reaction usually only occurs in those who are extremely lucky. However, the person in front of me is just a guard, so why does it bring about such a change?

"General, I'm here to see you today because I want to help you." After sitting down, Sun Xiu didn't waste any time. He went straight to the point and directly stated his intention, "Wang Jun, the governor of Youzhou, has a disloyal heart. , this person covets Daijun, and there have been signs of troop mobilization recently. This kind of person should not be taken lightly. For the current plan, all parties should be united to prepare."

Chen Zhi withdrew his thoughts, and said after hearing the words: "Mr. Sun means to send someone to help? In the future, let Daijun send troops to Jizhou in return?" He knew that Sun Xiu's request all along, He was using his family to provide help in exchange for Chen Zhi taking action to contain Shi Le in the future.

Unexpectedly, Sun Xiu said: "The general misunderstood," he shook his head, "This matter is because we felt the general's power and the difficulty of replacing the county, so we took the initiative to help, and now that the Zhao Kingdom has fallen, we originally The guards and attendants have been displaced and scattered everywhere, with little use for them, but now many of them are gathered here with the intention of making a difference."

"Oh?" Chen Zhi narrowed his eyes. I wonder if it was his misunderstanding. He always felt that these words had a hint of surrender. But with Sun Xiu's identity, he would not come to Daijun to seek refuge with him, right?
Thinking like this, he turned his eyes to the guard and asked, "I also heard that many warriors from the Zhao Kingdom were summoned by the king and grandson, and they all lived in retirement. Is this the same?"

Sun Xiu said with a smile: "We have summoned many guards from the Zhao Kingdom and have a lot of manpower. However, this is not the case with Zhang Fang. He was met by the prince in Luoyang and he was promoted because he admired him very much. He was sent here recently." To protect the safety of the king and grandson."

Hearing Sun Xiuzhi's words, the guard couldn't help but bowed his hands and smiled flatteringly at Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhi was stunned for a moment, savoring this person's name.

Zhang Fang?

"During this historical period, there was a fierce general with this name."

　I'm not feeling well today, so I'll try my best to write Chapter 2, it may be late.
