In the side hall, Chen Xianjun, Wen Xianwei, Zu Fan and others sat down one after another.
When Zu Zhao arrived from the inner courtyard, Zu Ling had already re-introduced the situation in the early morning, and Chen Xianjun and the others already had a specific understanding. Wentai and Zu Fan both had grim looks, and without waiting for Chen Xianjun to make any statement, they said their opinions as soon as they sang and harmonized. As early as on the way to Zujiazhuang, Wentai and Zu Fan walked in front on horseback, and the two had a private discussion, but Chen Xianjun in the sedan chair still looked sleepy-eyed.
Wentai thought that at present, he should immediately send people to the county government, ask Taishou Liu Zheng to issue a letter, and at the same time summon the strong men of the county's military service, and rush to the hiding place of the thieves in Lingzhi County as soon as possible to search and arrest. Zu Fan added that this matter should also be reported to the county government of Lingzhi County, at least it can be combined with the people of the local county government, and there is no need to cause cross-border disputes to jointly encircle and suppress the thieves.
Chen Xianjun originally looked sleepy, but after listening to the words of Wentai and Zu Fan, he immediately felt a spirit, and let the Buddha be poured a basin of cold water on a cold day, and he cheered up all of a sudden.
"Ahem, I thought that this matter should be considered in the long run."
"Think long, think long? If you think about it in the long run, the thief will have run away without a trace. Wentai shouted a little unable to hold back his temper.
"Lord County, what we are saying is all about planning. As long as it is done step by step, there will be a result in this matter. Zu Fan can still say very politely.
"Lord Chen, if it is inconvenient for the county government to come forward, there will be no shortage of strong men in my ancestral family." Although Zu Ju is a serious person, he also has to stand up and put pressure on Chen Xianjun at this time, so he deliberately said so.
"Eh, what General Zu said is that protecting the territory and the people is within the responsibility of this official. However, at present, this matter is quite complicated, involving cross-border crossing, and if it is not handled well, I am afraid that it will lead to unnecessary misunderstandings. Chen Xianjun said with a haha.
"Lord County, forgive the boy for talking too much," At this time, Zu Zhao stood up and solemnly bowed to Chen Xianjun in advance, and then said without being arrogant or humble, "Wang Zheng was arrested in the bazaar, and since he is the contact of the thieves, if he delays for too long, the thieves will be suspicious." This time, my ancestral family suffered this great humiliation, if I am not ashamed, I am sorry for my ancestors and ancestors, and I will not be able to appease the orphans and widows. I also asked the county lord to ask for the people's life, and he will definitely wipe out all the thieves. "
Eldest Prince, what did you say..."Chen Xianjun was still perfunctory.
"Lord County, every year in winter, the county will prepare for thieves. If there is restlessness today, there are many thieves. Even if this thief is not suppressed today, he will gather momentum to commit it in winter, and no one knows what the situation will be when the time comes. If it is unfavorable to prepare for theft, or if the loss is too large, how can the county lord pay it to the county government? Why not take advantage of the thief's weakness and break it in one fell swoop, not only to avoid future troubles, but also to deter the whole territory, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? Zu Zhao took advantage of Chen Xianjun's uncertain tone and immediately said again.
These words were reasonable, and the head of the analysis was the truth, which caused everyone in the hall to nod yes. Cross-border crossings are troublesome, but it would be a different story to treat the operation as a routine for piracy.
In the face of the pressure of the ancestral family and the elbow of his own county lieutenant turned outward, Chen Xianjun had no way to deal with himself, if he had to be perfunctory at this time, he was afraid that he would not be able to deal with the ancestral family again in the future. What's more, although he likes to be a person who watches from the wall, he is not without the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, and after listening to Zu Zhao's analysis twice in a row, he is more or less aware of the stakes.
Thinking about it, thinking about it, anyway, this matter can only be done according to the rules, as long as you follow the rules, even if you have a business trip, you won't get into trouble. As soon as he thought of this, he dragged a long official tone and pretended to mutter, and then said like a virtuous monarch accepting advice: "The eldest prince is reasonable, and he is really insightful. This matter is indeed urgent. So, let's do it first. County Lieutenant Wen, you and the king will coordinate this matter later, and as soon as the documents are ready, I will send it to the county government immediately. Subsequently
, Zu Zhao briefly talked about the situation of Zu Cheng, Zu Bao, Zu Zhong and other children lurking in Lingzhi County. A few days ago, after Zu Fan heard that this matter was related to Lingzhi County, he specially arranged for people to collect a map of Lingzhi County, and brought it with him early this morning. At this moment, he took the map, spread it out in front of everyone, and marked it according to the direction that Zu Zhao said.
"In my opinion, we should be ready to go at any time. After Ah Cheng and Ah Bao found out the detailed clues, they surrounded the thieves with lightning speed, and then killed them by surprise. Zu Fan said in a solemn voice.
Zu Zhao on the side subconsciously glanced at Zu Fan, even if Zu Fan didn't mention it, he would still emphasize it later, and it must be said that the hero saw the same thing.
Zhuang Shang immediately began to prepare for this matter. Zhao'er, you will arrange it later. Zu Ju said with the majesty of a general.
"Please rest assured, grandpa will arrange it for my grandson." Zu Zhao replied methodically. In fact, he had already ordered these things as early as the early hours of the morning, and the young children of the village were all gearing up, and all the equipment in the warehouse was now placed in the backyard and on the horse farm, and they could be distributed one by one in the afternoon.
At noon, Chen Xianjun and Wen Xianwei took their leave first and returned to the county government to collect relevant documents.
Chun Yupei took advantage of this free time to find Zu Ju again, and politely hoped to go to help. Zu Ju was a little hesitant, but he thought that the other party was not engaged in Xuanwu County after all, and he had an official position, and Yu Shengwei and Yu Aftermath would be of some help, so after reluctantly giving in, he finally agreed.
After getting the letter, Gongsun Long immediately ran to the backyard to find Zu Zhao and excitedly told him about it.
Zu Zhao, who was wiping all kinds of blades in Zhang Luo, couldn't help but secretly wonder again after listening to Gongsun Long's words: What are Chun Yupei and Gongsun Zhi going to do? Don't rush to pack up and set off, but still want to get involved in this matter?
"Aaron, hasn't Mr. Gongsun mentioned packing up his itinerary in the past few days?" Zu Zhao asked Gongsun Long.
"Packing up? Where to go? Gongsun Long asked with a puzzled expression.
"Oh, nothing. I just hope that you will stay a few more days and don't rush back to Xuanwu County. Zu Zhao knew it in his heart, so he made up an excuse at random to prevaricate in the past.
"Haha, it must be. I'd love to stay here until the end of the year. I don't want to go back to Houcheng so soon, there were a lot of things at home some time ago, and the second uncle couldn't take care of a lot of things, and the most important ones were the foreigners in the northwest and northeast. Gongsun Longxin thought it was true, and readily agreed, and complained a few words at home by the way.
Zu Zhao's face changed slightly, and he immediately found some key clues from Gongsun Long's words.
"What, the foreigners are doing it again?" He asked deliberately in a way.
"Well, it never stopped. There are Qiang people and Wuhuan people in the northwest, and Goguryeo people in the northeast. The Goguryeo people, in particular, repeatedly violated the border, making people panic. I have wanted to talk to my second uncle many times, and I simply gathered the benefits of the whole county to teach Goguryeo a good lesson, and see if they dare to run rampant. But my father always doesn't take me to see my second uncle, so I can't talk about things. I heard that the second uncle asked the state government for help many times, but the state government did not give a reply for a long time. Our Xuanwu County is sparsely populated, and the officers and soldiers stationed at the border have no supplies all year round, and they are all old, weak, sick and disabled. Gongsun Longfang Buddha had a stomach full of bitter water, and he poured out all of it at once.
Zu Zhao pondered, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu, the Han Dynasty was really a deterrent, and the surrounding small countries took the initiative to pay tribute. Before Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, the Goguryeo nation had always been vassals to the Han Dynasty. Until Wang Mang belittled the king of Goryeo as a marquis, and wantonly requisitioned Goryeo to fight, and finally forced Goryeo to raise the banner and rebel. Taking advantage of the change of the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, the king of Goryeo not only annexed other small tribes in the surrounding area, but even invaded the four Han counties, during which the tribe gradually developed into a national power.
At first, Xuansu County was located outside the Great Wall, and it was precisely because of Goguryeo's repeated encroachment and occupation that the Han Dynasty migrated to Xuansu County three times. Today, Xuansu County has been transferred from outside the Great Wall to inside the Great Wall, and part of the territory of Liaodong County has also been allocated.
The rampant Goguryeo was not curbed until Gongsun Du took charge of Liaodong and took the initiative to send troops to attack Goguryeo.
Zu Zhao secretly guessed that perhaps the Gongsun family did not have such a strong power in Xuansu County, after all, Xuansu County was more remote and backward than Youbeiping County, and it was nothing more than relying on the identity of King Gongsun or this Taishou. For the time being, he wasn't sure if this matter had anything to do with Gongsun Zhi's thoughts, but in any case, it was an extra layer of understanding.
After taking Gongsun Long to choose a suitable weapon, Zu Zhao asked him to stay with the children of the other Gongsun families, and then come to the racecourse to meet after receiving the notice. After sending Gongsun Long away, Zu Zhao went to a small courtyard next to the west courtyard and met with Han Dang. Han Dang drove dozens of miles from afternoon to evening yesterday, although he was tall and tall, but after this toss, he was inevitably exhausted, until Zu Zhao came to look for him, he was still sleeping with his head covered.
Taking advantage of Han Dang's washing, Zu Zhao was a careful person, and instructed the servants of the West Courtyard to prepare some meat porridge and meat patties as soon as possible.
Regardless of the winter weather, Han Dang fetched two buckets of water from the well in the courtyard, wiped his body with well water first, and then directly flushed it on the top of his head. When he returned to the house, he didn't dry the water on his body, he put on his own clothes. Seeing the hot food on the table in the small hall, and glancing at Zu Zhao standing outside the door, he smiled knowingly, and then beckoned Zu Zhao into the house.
Zu Zhao briefly told Han Dang about the arrangements of the county magistrate, the county lieutenant and others in the morning, as well as the current actions on the side of Lingzhi County.
Han Dang leaned his neck and swallowed the porridge in a big gulp, touched his mouth, and said loudly: "I am most familiar with the surroundings of Lingzhi, the outskirts of the county that Wang Zheng said are thirty miles to the northeast, which should be a hilly and lush forest, and then there is a Gobi wasteland with a radius of nearly 100 miles. If the ancestor wants to act, Han is willing to lead the way. "
Zu Zhao has not thought about this, Han Dang, whether it is martial arts or familiarity with the local area of Lingzhi County, can provide a lot of help in this matter. However, he still has to worry that he is now a guilty person, in case something goes wrong, he is afraid that he is not afraid that the power of the ancestral family will not affect Lingzhi County.
Han Dang saw that Zu Zhao was silent, and laughed: "Zu Gongzi is a righteous person, but you can rest assured." I, Han Dang, were able to return to Lingzhi yesterday, and I had my own way to get out. The scourge of thieves is also something that I Han Dang can't tolerate, eliminate harm for the people, righteousness first, this time it is implicated in Han's hometown, don't trap Han in injustice!
When Zu Zhao heard this, he immediately smiled, and said happily: "Brother Han has said so, and he can't help but obey him." Please rest assured, no matter what happens afterwards, my ancestor Zhao will do his best to ensure that Brother Han escapes. Just
after lunch, Zu Zhan came back from Anyang Pavilion and informed the Zhang brothers that they had promised to come to help.
The Zhang brothers are gathering the children of the pavilion and the rangers who are familiar with each other, and everyone is equipped with horses and knives. If they set off tonight, the ancestral family will send someone to inform them at any time, and they will come over at any time. Not only that, but at the same time, it was also agreed to come to Beiguo Pavilion before noon tomorrow to meet, regardless of whether to act or not, but also meet first to sum up, so that there is a clear order when moving.
Zu Zhao said hard work and asked Zu Zhan to rest first.
Before closing the city gate in the evening, news finally came from the county government. Zu Fan sent a person to Zujiazhuang to report the letter, saying that in the afternoon, Chen Xianjun had drafted two documents and sent them to the county government and the Lingzhi county government respectively. The visitor also repeatedly told Chen Xianjun to wait until the county government and the Lingzhi county government replied before taking action.
Zu Zhao sent someone to see his grandfather immediately, and he relayed Zu Fan's words in the original language, but deliberately did not mention Chen Xianjun's "repeated advice". Xu Wu's correspondence is not far away, but he goes to Pinggang County, where the county government is located, and it will take three or two days to go back and forth, which is not too sure whether Liu Zheng can review the official documents and make decisions in a timely manner. As far as the current situation is concerned, extraordinary measures should be used in extraordinary times, and as long as the approval of the county government can be obtained, cross-border crossing will be logical.
That night, Zuju summoned several young and strong generations of the ancestor who had a reputation for bravery, and there was not much nonsense, but he made some instructions with a very stern face, asking that all the people should be armed according to the number of people gathered today, and tomorrow he would just wait for the message from the county government, and then rush directly to Lingzhi County.
In addition, he nominally asked Zu Zhao to lead the children, but he also arranged for Zu Ling, Zu Li, Zu Ke and other Zu Zhao's uncles to be optimistic about Zu Zhao. Although Zu Zhao's performance in the past few days has indeed shown the talent of a leader, and a while ago he used outnumbered the crowd to deter more than 100 offenders Huma, which also confirmed the brave side, but after all, he is still young and the only descendant of the ancestral family. Zu Ju is old, and he is no longer heroic in the past, and he only asks for one to be cautious in everything.
In the hall, Zu Zhao did not show any expression, calm as stopping water.
Zu Ling, Zu Li and other uncles had some reputation in the county in their early years. Zu Ling once knocked down three armed thieves with his bare hands when he was preparing for thieves in the year before last, which was also a commendable thing at that time; Zu Li is a side concubine, and he has not been valued by his family when he was young, but because he participated in the perennial protection of the ancestral family's caravan to and from Hu Jing, in seven years, he shot and injured more than 50 horse thieves who dared to rob the road, and established his qualifications in the family in one fell swoop.
As for the other uncles, they were either recommended by the county's "brave and fangzheng" in their early years, or they had served as military positions in the county or in the border army.
Although the ancestral family has not produced any prominent figures in recent years, there are more or less talented people in all aspects, and they can be regarded as full of talents. Especially the style of the military family, coupled with the fierce folk customs on the Northland border, most of the people are martial and aggressive.
Even though Zu Zhao has been quite a genius in recent times, in such a big family, and in front of such a group of uncles and elders, it can only cause heated discussions for a while.
However, after the people in the hall dispersed, Zu Zhao still came to the backyard horse farm, found a few children who had gone to Xihe Bridge to practice on weekdays, and instructed them to inform all the armed children tonight, no matter when they got the message from the county government tomorrow, and set off on the road after midday. At night, he also informed Han Dang of this arrangement in advance.
Han Dang had no objection, and only said that tomorrow he could lead everyone to take a small road and detour directly to Shunlin in the northeast of the county.
