A farce.
Luo Yi's majesty was swept away.
During these few days.
Luo Yi never showed up.
And within the entire Peking Army.
A new round of military discipline also began.
Almost five days passed.
Wang Ke was sitting leisurely in the post office.
Zhang Gongjin came to the living room again.
He looked respectful and sent a letter from Luo Yi.
The content of this letter is simple.
First, Luo Yi could not come to meet him in person due to physical discomfort and occasional cold.
Second, Luo Yi had already greeted officials from all over Jizhou, as well as the guards at Miyun Pass, Gubei Gorge, and Wa Pass, asking them to obey Wang Ke's orders unconditionally.
Third, regarding private matters at home, Luo Yi had already compiled a letter and sent it to Daxing City, waiting for the emperor's decision.
Read the letter.
Wang Ke nodded slightly.
Immediately.
He said to Zhang Gongjin: "General Zhang has come to deliver the letter in person. Please tell the prince so that he can rest in peace and recover. I will not visit him. We will prepare to leave Beiping Mansion early tomorrow morning."
"General, do you need some troops to escort you?"
Zhang Gongjin asked.
Wang Ke waved his hand and said: "No need, I don't think the scoundrels around us dare to provoke us."
indeed.
Wang Ke now has many powerful generals under his command.
Except for Gan Meng and Ling Wei who have been following him.
A red-flecked girl was sent to Yang Su's mansion.
Wang's ancestral land received Wang Tianyou's support.
Wang Junke and Luo Shixin were subdued at Wuliuzhuang.
In Beiping Mansion, after helping Jiang Song reprimand Luo Yi, Jiang Song also joined Wang Ke's army.
in this way.
Plus more than 800 soldiers and horses.
With such strength, no one dares to mess with him near Beiping Mansion today.
then.
Zhang Gongjin nodded, then saluted Wang Ke and left.
…
The second day.
It's just dawn.
Wang Ke and others are ready.
The gate of the hotel was opened.
Go all the way north.
Soon.
They then left the boundaries of Beiping Mansion.
Walking on the desolate official road.
Jizhou.
Also known as Ji County.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it belonged to the Endless Kingdom.
After the fall of Wu Zhongguo, it was taken over by the Qin Dynasty and changed to Wu Zhong County.
Until the Western Han Dynasty.
Wuzhong County was renamed Ji County and came under the jurisdiction of Youbeiping County.
And experienced hundreds of years of ravages of war.
This was changed to Jizhou.
It is connected to Jimen Pass in the north.
It is the key boundary connecting the northern border fortress and the important town of Youzhou.
therefore.
It is different from the states and counties in the Central Plains.
Jizhou is sparsely populated, surrounded by large expanses of wasteland, as well as some strong young knights with fierce looks, riding fast horses, coming and going in a hurry.
"The ancients said: There are many rangers in the land of Youyan. Now that I have seen them, you will not deceive me!"
Looking at those young people with bows on their backs and swords on their backs, coming and going like the wind.
Wang Ke nodded slightly and said.
As he moved forward, he examined the sentiments of the people.
After three days on the road.
this day.
In his field of vision, the outline of a city vaguely appeared. It was obvious that it was Jizhou City that had arrived.
"The last general, Yuan Zhen, the commander-in-chief of Jizhou, pays homage to the general!"
The soldiers and horses continued to move forward.
Not long.
All that was seen was a puff of smoke and dust.
In the blink of an eye, a group of soldiers and horses came forward.
The leader of this army horse galloped out, and on the horse, he bowed his hands to Wang Ke and saluted, and said.
What does this general look like?
But you can see——
On the head is a three-pronged crown, topped with a ball of auspicious snow;
The body is covered with iron armor and covered with thousands of frosts.
The light of Su Luo robe shines on the sun, and the color of silver flowers deceives the bright moon.
He sat down and rode a Zhengwan jade beast, holding a cold halberd and a silver dragon in his hand.
I saw that this man had an extraordinary appearance.
Wang Ke smiled and cupped his hands and said, "General, I'm here to greet you."
Yuan Zhengong cupped his hands and said: "The general has fought in the north and south and made great achievements. The general has been there for a long time. Now that he has arrived in Jizhou, he naturally has to go out of the city to greet him..."
Speaking of which.
Yuan Zhen looked around, and then said: "The weather is cold now, so I will go to the city to rest, have a good meal and drink some hot soup. What do you think?"
"Hahaha! The general is thoughtful, let's go into the city together!"
Wang Ke smiled slightly and said to Yuan Zhen.
Yuan Zhen bowed.
Immediately, he led the army forward to clear the way for Wang Ke and others.
Soon.
Brigades of soldiers and horses entered the city one after another.
After entering the city.
The soldiers entered the military camp to rest.
Wang Ke and the generals came to rest in the Jizhou governor's mansion that had been prepared long ago.
Just sat down.
Yuan Zhen then arranged for hot wine and rice.
Everyone drank and ate to relieve the fatigue from the journey.
As everyone was full of wine and food.
It was late at night.
then.
Under the arrangement of Yuan Zhen.
Everyone came to live in their own courtyards, let’s not talk about it for now.
Just say Wang Ke.
He came to his room.
The red-whisker girl has already lit the stove and is serving beside it.
Wang Ke took off his robe, stretched out his hand to warm himself by the stove, and asked abruptly: "Chuchen, what do you think of Yuan Zhen?"
Hongfu Nu was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and replied: "Although Yuan Zhen is a military commander, he is quite careful. If the master can use him well, he should be someone who can handle things."
"Yes, why hasn't such a person fallen into Luo Yi's eyes?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Wang Ke said softly.
Hearing Wang Ke say this.
The red-flecked girl's eyes flickered slightly and she began to think.
Wang Ke said: "Today, I met with many officials from Jizhou in the mansion. The number of people who came was very sparse. There were fifteen officials in total, which was far less than the normal configuration of ordinary states and counties. So I speculated that those Luo Yi's cronies had been recruited by him. They were transferred out in advance, and those who stayed were some marginal figures."
"So Yuan Zhen is also a marginalized figure?"
Hongfunu looked at Wang Ke and asked.
"Maybe he's a fringe figure, maybe he's Luo Yi's nail here. We won't know until later."
Wang Ke stretched out and said casually to Hongfu Nu.
…
The next day.
Wang Ke stood up.
After he finished washing, he came to the meeting hall in the governor's mansion.
Not long after.
Yuan Zhen brought a dozen Jizhou officials to the hall and saluted Wang Ke.
Wang Ke waved his hand and said with a smile: "Excuse me, everyone... You have worked hard to guard the frontier these years, thank you for your hard work!"
"With your envoy's words, we will be satisfied."
Yuan Zhen returned the greeting with a smile and said to Wang Ke.
Wang Ke smiled slightly and continued: "I am here for the first time. Please tell me the truth and falsehoods in Jizhou. Please tell me in detail."
When Yuan Zhen heard this, he raised his hands and said, "Don't worry, before you arrive, we have already counted the number of soldiers, horses, money, food, and population in each place. Please check it."
"General Yuan is indeed a thoughtful person."
Wang Ke praised.
Subsequently.
Yuan Zhen walked up quickly and delivered an official document that he had prepared long ago to Wang Ke's hands.
Wang Ke took the official document and opened it.
His eyes first fell on the data recording the number of soldiers and horses.
I saw it read: "There are a total of 30,000 standing troops and horses in Jizhou, including 15,000 infantry, 5,000 cavalry, and 10,000 grain transshipments. In Jizhou City, there are eight soldiers and horses. Thousands, and the rest are stationed in various villages and towns, as well as in the Jimenguan camp in the north."
