I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 248: The wordless edict shocked Zhang He, and Gongming flew to relieve the embarrassment

Confirm identity?

Under the sun, Su Yao raised his eyebrows:
"Isn't X's scepter enough?"

Zhang Sima smiled bitterly:
"The false emperor Zhang Ju also has a scepter."

"Then how do you want me to prove it?" A glint flashed in Su Yao's eyes.

"Please forgive me for overstepping my bounds."

Zhang Sima stretched his body and bowed:

"Zhang He, Commander-in-Chief of the Jizhou Army, please borrow the imperial edict to read!"

"Zhang He?"

Su Yao laughed after hearing this:
"What's so difficult about this?"

Su Yao flicked the blood-stained edict into Zhang He's hand.

Zhang He hurriedly opened it, but after one glance, his face instantly turned pale.

There is no other reason, this is actually a wordless edict!
It proves nothing at all.

Zhang He's hands were trembling as he stared at the blank edict in his hand in disbelief.

His face was as pale as paper, and the shock in his heart was beyond words.

What does this blank edict mean?
Could it be that this so-called "angel" is actually a liar?
Is that the fake emperor? .
The false emperor, Zhang Ju, was entrenched in the northern part of Jizhou, a powerful rebel force spanning the three regions of Youji, Hebei and Liaoning.

In recent days, this force has been ready to move. Not only has it sent out scouts, but it has also secretly created official seals and talismans, allowing detailed craftsmen to infiltrate the border counties of Jizhou.

Therefore, Zhang He became even more vigilant.

Although he had already 80% believed that Su Yao was a genuine angel.

He controlled his subordinates and did not follow Wang Sima's personal soldiers to cause trouble.

But, there is always a point in case it is not
If the person who comes here is a spy, and their Jizhou army disarms all, the consequences will be disastrous.

So, after seeing this blank edict, Zhang He's pupils suddenly shrank.

He slowly raised his head and looked directly at Su Yao. He saw that Su Yao's face was as sinking as water, with no flaws or waves visible.

"This edict."

Zhang He raised his head warily:
"May I ask why it is blank?"

Su Yao looked at him with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Of course he has no edict.

Su Yao only needs such a scepter.

All the imperial edicts he claimed along the way were just bluffs.

However, the absence of an edict does not mean that he is acting recklessly, because holding a festival in itself represents his identity.

The scepter itself is a token, which represents the identity of the emperor. Any envoy holding the scepter represents the emperor's personal presence.

It can be used to do things such as enfeoffing princes according to the rules, arresting criminals according to the rules, suppressing rebellions according to the rules, sending envoys to foreign countries according to the rules, and negotiating peace according to the rules.

The emperor's purpose in giving Su Yaojie the scepter was also very clear. His mission was to thoroughly investigate Wang Fen's rebellion. If it was found that he intended to rebel, he would be brought back within five days.

But obviously, whether it is the emperor or Su Yao, they have forgotten that in the north of Jizhou, there is still a false emperor who has ascended the throne arrogantly.

Suddenly, the authenticity of Su Yaochijie was put into crisis.

This was a huge blow to the legitimacy of the court by claiming the emperor's arrogance and secretly creating coins and official seals.

Every day this force exists, the court's prestige and control over the local area will become weaker.

After all, there is no face recognition in this era, and the competition for influence between the two sides is very fierce.

Back to the present moment, facing the current situation, Zhang He bit the bullet:

"There is no edict and no compliance. I forgive Zhang for his difficulty in obeying the order."

Stalemate.

Zhang He and his hundreds of soldiers refused to lay down their weapons.

This scene even began to have an impact on those who had already knelt down and surrendered. Many people quietly picked up their weapons and stood up.

Zhang He's determination gave them courage again.

Just when Su Yao raised his eyebrows and was weighing whether he should destroy the hero with a ruthless hand and kill Zhang He to control the situation.
——"The tiger talisman is here!"

From the direction of the city, Xu Huang came galloping towards him, raising his hands and shouting.

It turned out that he was different from Su Yao who didn't pay attention to these rules such as army dispatch.

After Su Yao set off first, as a precaution, Xu Huang and Lu Bu, who were well aware of the rules of the army, immediately took control of the governor's office and forced Wang Fen to hand over the Tiger Talisman military power, which was rushed by Xu Huang.

"The Tiger Talisman is here - all the Jizhou Army will obey the orders of the Marquis of Guannei!"

Hearing this, Zhang He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had finally waited.

As the saying goes, empty words have no basis.

Tiger talisman, in the Qin and Han Dynasties and before, was a token of evidence for the central government to grant military power to its subjects and mobilize the army.

It is made of copper, in the shape of a tiger, and divided into left and right halves, with a mother-and-child mouth that can be combined.

The right talisman is kept in the center, and the left talisman is in the hands of the general. If someone is sent to mobilize the army, the right talisman must be brought with him. After holding the talisman and verifying it, the general can act according to the order.

In the future, after Cao Cao's defeat at Chibi, Zhuge Liang relied on the tiger talisman that Zhao Yun captured from the guard to capture the three cities of Jingzhou without any blood.

The current tiger talisman is the seal of troop deployment that the governor's office has been able to maintain for a long time in response to the expansion of military power in various places after the Yellow Turban Rebellion to deal with local bandits and the imminent puppet emperor rebels.

Zhang He saw that the visitor was able to leave the city and brought a tiger talisman. He knew that the only possibility was that the Jizhou governor was really doomed.

There is a tiger talisman and a royal scepter. This is truly justifiable.

So, after Xu Huang arrived, Zhang He sent his own soldiers into the camp and took out the left half of the tiger talisman to compare with it, and Zhang He was really relieved.

Next, Su Yao mobilized a thousand soldiers into the city to hunt down the escaped swordsmen and control the situation in the city. At the same time, Su Yao asked Zhang He to issue an order to the whole state to terminate the mobilization and lift the order.

At this point, on the third day after receiving the order, Su Yao finally put down the conspiracy of Wang Fen and Xu You to rebel.

That's all the rest.
"Is the Marquis Guannei leaving now?"

In the pool of blood in front of the gate of Gaoyi Governor's Mansion, Zhang He stared blankly at the young angel covered in blood.

When he came with his entourage, he couldn't believe that this envoy, with only a dozen people, defeated the siege of hundreds of people, and defeated the siege laid by Wang Fen and others with only four people being slightly injured. trap.

He was deeply impressed by his courage and ability.

At the same time, Zhang He was shocked.

When did this court become so powerful?
It was really his fault that he fulfilled his duties in the end and stuck to the bottom line, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

But what surprised him even more was this man's vigorous and resolute actions.

After the chaos was calmed down, he didn't even stay. He ignored the banquets and entertainment provided by the local aristocratic families and others and left as soon as he said he wanted to.

In response, Su Yao patted Zhang He on the shoulder:

"Your Majesty is still waiting for my return, and I will stay here soon."

Yes, Su Yao is gone.

Although Zhang He was unexpectedly here, Su Yao couldn't just accept everyone he saw.

What's more, this Zhang He has now sneaked into the position of Army Sima, and it is difficult for him to provide better treatment to poach this corner.

Moreover, he now has Zhang Liao, Lu Bu, Xu Huang and others under his command. It would be better if Zhang He has the opportunity to accept them in the future, but if he cannot accept them, he will not force them here like a licking dog.

No need to waste time.

So Su Yao just took away the tiger charm issued by the court, and then
"Zhang Sima is loyal and reliable. Before the arrival of the new envoy, you will be responsible for everything in Gaoyi."

Zhang He took a deep breath, cupped his fists and saluted Su Yao:

"Don't worry, Marquis Guannei, Zhang will definitely live up to his destiny!"

After expressing his determination, Zhang He lowered his head and reported in a low voice:

"However, the pseudo-emperor Zhang Ju has been acting suspiciously recently. Your Majesty needs to be more careful if he continues his northern tour."

In response to Zhang He's reminder, Su Yao just nodded.

However, this time, those who have been around Su Yao for a long time can find that the Marquis of Guannei, who always seems to be indifferent to everything, has a rare solemn look in his eyes.
