Chapter 240

The next day, Chen Gong set off from Wei County and went to Yecheng. All the officials in the city got the news early, and under the leadership of Zhang Xuan, they greeted them at the gate of the city.

Zhang Xuan is older than Yuan Shao, he is fifty-five this year, his hair and beard are white, his brows are kind and his eyes are kind, he looks like an immortal Buddha above, his expression is serene and spiritual, he looks very comfortable, he can be described as old, treacherous and cunning, a hypocrite seems loyal.

Chen Gong greeted him with a smile and said: "I have been asking about Zhang Pushe's name for a long time. When I saw him today, he was indeed a great Confucian, elegant in literature, wise and restrained, haha."

"Gongtai Zhesha old man, Gongtai, General Zhou, General Xu and his party came from a long journey, and the old man is hosting a banquet in the city. Please give me a great honor from Gongtai."

"There is a servant to shoot."

Walking into the city, the common people knelt twice to welcome them, Chen Gong said: "Why?"

Zhang Xuandao: "The common people heard that the military division is coming, and they want to come to see Gongrong, and I can't stop it."

Chen Gong smiled and entered the mansion together with Zhang Xuan without comment.

In the evening of that day, Zhang Xuan hosted a banquet to welcome Chen Gong, Zhou Cang, Xu Chu and others. Many families came to meet and pay their respects. Chen Gong responded one by one, but they did not drink at all.

Zhang Xuan pretended to be displeased, and said: "No matter why the military division came here this time, let's get drunk first."

Chen Gongdao: "Zhang Pushe is serious. I am here under the order of my lord to investigate the people's livelihood. Please don't worry too much. I never drink alcohol. Everyone knows about it. Please also ask me. Don't be polite when you shoot."

Zhou Cang and Xu Chu also said, "We both have heavy responsibilities. My lord has clearly ordered not to drink wine, but I really don't dare to disobey him."

Zhang Xuan was bored, so he asked Chen Gong and the others to eat raw vegetables.Xi San, Zhang Xuan personally sent Chen Gong and others into the post house.After everyone entered the room, Zhang Xuan came to Chen Gong's house and knocked on the door again.

Chen Gongdao: "Master Pu She, why did you go and come back?"

Zhang Xuan clapped his hands. Immediately outside the door, there were many servants carrying three large boxes in, and they put them lightly on the ground. Looking at the servants' faces, they knew that the things must be heavy.

"This is?" Chen Gong asked pretending not to know.

Zhang Xuan laughed, and said: "I heard that the military commander abandoned his official position in the early years, regardless of his family and life, and protected Cao Cao, who was still a loyal minister at that time. Many people from aristocratic families looked up to the military teacher for a long time, but they could not see him in person. I can see you today, and I offer a small gift , just to show love and respect. The military commander must be exhausted after traveling so far, so I will leave without disturbing you."

Chen Gong laughed and said, "So, is this being disrespectful?" '

The vigilance in Zhang Xuan's eyes also disappeared for the most part, and he returned with a big smile.

After Zhang Xuan left, Chen Gong sat on the big box in the house, shook his head and said with a smile: "This Zhang Xuan is ignorant and stupid!"

Chen Gong slept until nearly half an hour later, Zhang Xuan came to visit again, Chen Gong was delighted to see him, Zhang Xuan said: "Did the military master rest comfortably last night?"

Chen Gong nodded and said: "Comfortable is comfortable, but I'm afraid Zhang Pushe will be uncomfortable..."

"Just what do you mean?"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Chu had put on his armor and rushed up with his soldiers. He held Zhang Xuan on the spot and dragged him out. Zhang Xuan was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Military advisor! Why!"

Chen Gong ignored it, at this time Zhou Cang came from outside in a hurry and told him: "Military Master, the matter has been settled!"

"Okay! Take him to the execution ground and kill him on the spot, as a warning to others!"

Chen Gong, Zhou Cang, and Xu Chu escorted Zhang Xuan to the execution ground in the busy market. Along the way, the people saw that Zhang Xuan was being escorted with his head, and they all followed to see. Hundreds of people gathered around.

At noon, Chen Gong stood on the high platform and launched a complaint, reciting Zhang Xuan's crimes one by one. When the people heard it, they became excited and denounced Zhang Xuan!

After closing the book, Chen Gong shouted: "Kill!"

The executioner carried a knife, and decisively chopped off Zhang Xuan's head. Poor Zhang Xuan told the family last night that the big event had been decided, and today he was beheaded!
After killing Zhang Xuan, Chen Gong publicized the updated regulations of the policy of "Three Attacks and Three Fusses", and his servants in disguise from various aristocratic families rushed home to inform the Patriarch.

The news of Zhang Xuan's beheading is like a stone stirring up thousands of waves. At first, the officials protected each other, but now they attack each other in order to seek self-sufficiency. Chen Gong used the method of massacring the stupid and stubborn officials with blood to achieve great success. popular support!
On the other hand, Zhang Liang also invited Tian Yu from Chen Gong, who was squeezed out by the corrupt officials, and got Zhao Xin's password to worship Tian Yu as his servant on the spot, and take charge of all the affairs of Yecheng!
The first thing has been done, Zhang Liang said to Tian Yu: "Guorang, the lord wants to employ people wantonly, you don't want to let the lord down."

Tian Yu knew the deep meaning of the words, and said with his hands: "Master Tian Yu is so grateful for his kindness, he should repay it with death!"

After accepting Tian Yu, Zhang Liang has completed the task, and went to meet Zhao Xin who had been evacuated to Jinyang to talk about it.

During this meeting, I found that my lord's aura had changed greatly again. If I wanted to put it into words, I couldn't explain it clearly. I could only feel that my lord was becoming more and more wise, and he had the aura of a high-ranking person. The more intense it becomes, the more difficult it is to look directly at.

Xin Zhao praised Zhang Liang's strategy, and taught him to wait by the side first, and he would be rewarded later.

Xin Zhao looked at the civil servants and military generals below, and for a while, his chest was full of pride, but also more helpless.This group of people includes Lu Bu's old department, Liu Bei's old department, and Yuan Shao's old department. There is no doubt that they all have great talents. The headache is how to reasonably arrange this group of people in suitable positions!
Talent is a help if used well, but a disaster if used wrongly.

"This crusade against Jizhou and intimidation of Cao Cao, all of you have made great contributions. Shangguanqiu and Liaokong are the marching servants Shesi, Tai Shici is the general who resists Ke, and leads the prefect of Yunzhong. Zhu Tong is the general of Yucap, who leads the county. Shou, Zhang He is the general who slashes the enemy, leading Jizhou animal husbandry!

Hearing the last sentence, everyone was shocked, everyone thought that the position of Jizhou Shepherd was not the lord, but Zhao Yun, the lord's younger brother, but they didn't expect it to fall on Zhang Xi's head!
Now that Zhang He's injury is getting better, after hearing this fate, he cupped his fists and handed over his hands. With tears in his eyes, he knelt on one knee and said, "Thank you, Lord. I can't repay you for having my liver and brains wiped out."

Xin Zhao waved his hand and asked Zhang Yun and others to stand up, and said again: "Now, Guan Yu is General Zhechong and leads the Order of Puyang, and Zhang Liao is General Feiyu and leads the Order of Liyang!"

These two people were the leaders of Lu Bu and Liu Bei's old troops. Zhao Xin rewarded them in this way, which also made both sides feel at ease. At least they had a bowl of water that was even, and they could keep each other in check.

Guan Yu and Zhang Liao were not here, so Zhang Fei and Gao Shun took over on their behalf.

Zhao Xin announced the rewards again, Chen Deng, Chen Gui, Mi Fang, Mi Zhu, Wang Qun, Luo Qi, Sui Gu, etc. all received their due rewards. , and die together with him, my heart hurts so much! Send me an order to bring Qi Zhi's son Qi Liao into my house, and I will treat him as my own, and he is my adopted son!"

Everyone admired Xin Zhao's long grace and became more loyal.

Ten days later, as Chen Gong, Shangguan Qiu and others expected, Cao Cao wanted to ease the relationship with Zhao Xin and sent Cheng Yu to pass the imperial decree.

In the letter, Zhao Xin was declared to be a loyal marquis, lead Bingzhou Mu, and general of Jin!One must know that the post of General was taken by Yuan Shao who occupied Hebei in the past, but now it belongs to Xin Zhao. This is the influence of strength!
He also represented Zhang He, Tai Shi Ci, Xu Chu, Zhou Cang, Zhu Tong, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others as generals, receiving the title of marquis, and worshiping Kong, Shangguan Qiu, Chen Deng, Chen Gui, Wang Qun, Mi Fang, Sun Gan waits for the sheriff and the long history.

Zhao Xin looked all over the people who came to receive the seal, and said: "I hope that in the future, all of you will work together to restore the prosperity of the country and the people of this world!" '

"promise!"
