"The Emperor has a decree!"
"Yaohan, who is herding horses in Shaanzhou Prefecture, will immediately drive back to Beijing after receiving the imperial edict without any delay!"
Qin Ergou stood in front and read the imperial edict loudly.
actually.
There are several imperial edicts with the same content in his Ma Yaohan room.
But the feeling it sounds like now is completely different from the feeling I had when I received the imperial edict before.
Before this canonization came.
Ma Yaohan had already thought that he now had no choice.
He naturally understood what Cao Kang meant.
Cao Kang wanted to use himself to control Hezhou, and even regarded his Shaanzhou as the transition between Xiazhou and Hezhou.
before this.
Ma Yaohan was very disdainful.
You, Cao Kang, are ambitious, and I, Ma Yaohan, are also courageous!
However, this kind of courage was completely defeated by Zhang Bao not long after.
Ma Yaohan was actually very lucky.
He has left a way out. If he kills the person who sent the imperial edict like Hezhou Zhang Bao did, then he will not have another chance in the future.
And Cao Kang seemed to understand Ma Yaohan's situation, so this imperial edict came again.
This time, Ma Yaohan must seize this opportunity.
On your own, it is absolutely impossible to stand up again. If you want to take revenge and accumulate wealth, you must endure!
Therefore, I have to go to Xiazhou no matter what.
Even if I become Cao Kang's dog, I have no choice now.
Ma Yaohan knew that no matter what, this would be the last imperial edict sent to him by Cao Kang.
"yes!"
"I...obey the order!"
Ma Yaohan stepped forward respectfully and took the imperial edict in his hand.
"Ma Zhoumu, let's get on the road as soon as possible, right?"
Qin Ergou said to Ma Yaohan with a smile.
"Yes Yes Yes!"
"I'll just clean it up a bit."
"Here comes someone! Let's hold a banquet immediately to entertain Lord Angel!"
Ma Yaohan quickly ordered his servants.
…
Hezhou.
After several months of turmoil.
Zhang Bao and Fan Hanzhong finally settled the affairs of Hezhou and Taizhou. After all, Taizhou was newly surrendered, and Fan Hanzhong still led the troops to garrison them.
According to Zhang Bao's wishes, there was no rush to launch a series of new policy measures. Everything was still focused on maintaining stability.
Although Ding Yan was killed.
But it is inevitable that there will be others hiding.
Ding Yan has served as the prefect of Taizhou for many years, and behind Ding Yan is Grand Sima Cao Kang. The situation in Taizhou is naturally much more complicated.
However, Zhang Bao does not expect Taizhou to be like Hezhou.
So as soon as they came up, they used iron and blood methods.
Any resistance, any dissatisfaction, any trouble, just start killing!
The corpse was hung at the city gate as a warning!
Now Taizhou is finally honest.
"Sir, tell me, it was a pity at that time. If we had taken the opportunity to capture Shaanxi Province, we probably could have captured it with the help of the troops in Shaanxi Province at that time."
"Now Taizhou is ours, and Dongzhou is also within easy reach. If we capture Shaanzhou again, we will be very powerful!"
Wu Dayong said with shining eyes.
During the recent period, Wu Dayong has been like a dream.
A few years ago, he was just a small military prince, and Zhang Bao was only in charge of a county in Sanhe County.
Now it directly owns two states!
Then if Zhang Bao becomes emperor in the future, wouldn't he also be a general?
Wu Dayong's face flushed with excitement.
Zhang Bao looked at Wu Dayong in front of him and felt helpless.
To be honest, when it comes to the ability to lead troops in war, Wu Dayong is at the bottom of the pack at best, and he can't even be a general.
He was a small military prince before, and he became a general only after going through hundreds of battles.
But for Zhang Bao.
Many times, loyalty and trust are far more important than ability.
Zhang Bao can make up for his lack of ability in his own way, but it takes time and experience to become a loyal person.
Although Wu Dayong's ability is insufficient, his execution ability is strong.
No matter what Zhang Bao says, no matter what Zhang Bao asks him to do, Wu Dayong will execute it unconditionally. This is what Zhang Bao needs most.
But now.
Zhang Bao also felt that his men were somewhat stretched.
It would be really difficult for people like Wu Dayong who are not very smart and have to do everything by themselves in the future.
"Dayong, let me ask you, if we went to attack Shaanzhou, what would we use?"
Zhang Bao asked Wu Dayong.
"Hit with what?"
"Of course 20,000 people!"
"And there are so many catapults!"
"Just follow the same method as last time, surround them, then throw explosive bags, wine jars, kerosene and other things into the catapult, and then take them down."
Wu Dayong said happily.
"Then let me ask you, how much dynamite is left? How much is left in the wine jar? Where is the kerosene?"
"Also, what about the grain and grass we attack in Shaanzhou? It's easy to fight in our Hezhou territory, but what about after we go to Shaanzhou?"
"Also, how many troops are there in Shaanzhou now? If they don't fight with you to defend the city, but directly lead troops to attack, what will you do?"
"Shaanzhou and Xiazhou are adjacent. Do you think that the great Sima Cao Kang would just sit back and watch us attack Shaanzhou?"
"There is also Jeju on the other side. When we attacked Shaanzhou, they were ready to attack Dongzhou. What do you think they will do if we attack Shaanzhou with the intention of losing their lips and teeth?"
Zhang Bao asked Wu Dayong.
Wu Dayong:......
"What's wrong with the lip?"
"Who wants a kiss?"
Wu Dayong seemed to have only heard the last sentence, and he hadn't understood it yet...
"never mind……"
"Let's do it for now. You're fine. Just keep watching over the explosives. I've consumed almost all the inventory this time. Taizhou has taken it down again. I believe those materials will be delivered in a while. "
"Hurry up and do it!"
"And that hot air balloon. You don't have to go up to the sky without anything to do lately. This kind of thing is no longer new after seeing it too often."
Zhang Bao said helplessly to Wu Dayong.
Since Wu Dayong went to the sky last time, he has completely let himself go. Unlike Lao He who was afraid of heights, Wu Dayong not only did not have any fear, but was very excited!
Recently, when nothing happens, he jumps up to the sky, causing the people in Heyang County to kneel down and kowtow at every turn, without having to do any work!
I obviously didn't control it well once and almost fell to my death when I fell from mid-air, but I still enjoyed it from then on.
My heart is so big!
"Yes! Sir!"
"I know it!"
Wu Dayong said with a smile.
"Let's do this. From now on, you'll pay for each flight yourself. If you crash another one for me, you won't get a penny from it."
Zhang Bao said lightly.
"ah?"
"grown ups!"
"do not!"
Wu Dayong suddenly turned into a bitter face.
"roll!"
Zhang Bao saw Wu Dayong licking his face and about to say something, and kicked him out.
"grown ups!"
"As per your request, word has been disseminated."
After Wu Dayong left, Huang Chenzhi walked in immediately.
