Chapter 54 Jigu
In the dead of night, in a secret room.
Under the dim candlelight, there were seven or eight figures.
Only one of them said: "Zhao Yu and his wife are walking very fast and have now passed Hanzhong."
"Can something big be put on the agenda?"
"Can!"
"After all, I'm a little worried. This person is not a mortal."
"We have reached this point, why bother looking forward and backward? Do you have to have Cao Mengde dig our roots before you can make up your mind?!"
"Hey... I'm really blind. How could I have promoted him in the first place? Now he doesn't want to repay us. Instead, he is in trouble everywhere. He really doesn't deserve to be the son of a man."
"I'm still a little scared to say it. If Mr. Chen's news hadn't come in time, I would have been so confused and confused. Once we got into trouble, I'd be heartbroken."
"Why worry? As Zhao Yu himself said, with his ability, if he had to let go, how could Cao Mengde only occupy Yanzhou now? It is not impossible to be the emperor. That is an immortal family, a real immortal family! He Since he did not interfere directly, what he said must be true. Now that he has left, it is a good time to take action. After we have dealt with Cao Mengde and killed them all, what will happen even if he comes back? Then you and I will try our best to win him over, hehe..."
"I hope so... But even if Zhao Yu leaves, the possibility of success in catching Cao Mengde is very slim. That Zhao Yuguo is really a member of the Immortal Family, although he has never taken action directly, but he has come up with many good things. Cao Mengde Although there are only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, they are all elite soldiers in steel armor. They can fight one against ten. If we act rashly and are noticed by him, I am afraid we will be uprooted!"
"Didn't we discuss it before? We just need to borrow external help."
"It's best to catch the unexpected, preferably when Cao Mengde is tied up..."
"There is an opportunity here. Didn't Mr. Chen write a letter saying that Cao Mengde plans to take back Cao Song?"
"you mean?"
"Only a half-way interception - in Xuzhou, once Cao Song dies, Cao Mengde will be furious and mobilize all his troops to attack Tao Gongzu. Once the army is gone, Yanzhou will be empty, haha..."
"good idea!"
"But... I'm afraid it won't be good if it doesn't bring harm to the family, right?"
"No one is poisonous and no husband. When you and I are dying, how can we care about so much?"
"That's it!"
"Who is the external contact?"
"Yuan Benchu? Yuan Jiujiu or Liu Jingsheng?"
"Yuan Benchu is currently fighting on three fronts, so I'm afraid he doesn't have the energy. While he is attacking the Taihang Black Mountain bandits, he is fighting with Gongsun Bogui's Tian Kai in Qingzhou, and at the same time he is having a hard fight with Gongsun Bogui at the border of Jiyou. What's more, Yuan Benchu and Cao Mengde have always had a good relationship Wearing a pair of pants, how can he know about this?!"
"What about Yuan Gongli?"
"Yuan Jiujiu is not a good guy. Look at how Huainan has been messed up by him now? How long has it been!"
"Liu Jingsheng?"
"Liu Jingsheng doesn't even pay attention to Tongtou in Jingzhou. I know that although this person is talented, he has no intention of killing. I'm afraid he won't dare."
"This won't work, that won't work either. Who do you want to marry?!"
"I thought Lu Bu was okay."
"Lu Bu? This thief?!"
"Firstly, Lü Bu is brave and can be used to counter Cao Mengde. Secondly, Lü Bu is weak. If he takes over Yanzhou, he will not be obedient. Thirdly, Lü Bu is short-witted and can only be manipulated by his hands."
"Mr. Chen means the same thing."
"Oh? Mr. Chen also likes Lu Bu, a thief?"
...
Zhao Yu and Zhao Ji say they are traveling around the world, but they are just traveling around.
Especially after entering Hanzhong, my pace slowed down. Occasionally I came across a place with quite beautiful scenery, so I stopped there and wasted a few days.
The two of them played the piano and the harp in harmony, and they were enjoying themselves.
This is also part of Zhao Yu's plan.
He knew that if he didn't go far, those people might not dare to move. Therefore, after coming out of Yanzhou, the pace was non-stop, and it was not until after entering Hanzhong that it gradually slowed down.
The current governor of Hanzhong is Zhang Lu.
But he was not the Zhang Lu who would rule Hanzhong with five buckets of rice in the future.
Now Zhang Lu is the general of Yizhou Mu Liu Yan.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion was so powerful that Emperor Ling Liu Hong ordered all localities to raise their own troops to defend it. After Zhang Jiao's death, the Yellow Turbans declined, but there were still ups and downs in various places, so Liu Yan wrote a letter suggesting that the state pastoral system should be implemented again. And he invited himself to Yizhou to guard it.
As a member of the clan, Liu Yan can be said to be a model of forgetting his ancestors. It was precisely because of his proposal that, to a large extent, led to the formation of the subsequent feudal regimes. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the imperial court had no choice but to let local governments raise their own troops, which had already laid hidden dangers. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it was time to ban the local rebels and consolidate the power of the central government. However, he wrote a letter to reintroduce the state pastoral system.
This gave the latecomers a name.
Moreover, after Liu Yan entered Shuzhong, he immediately sent Zhang Lu to attack Su Gu, the prefect of Hanzhong, cut off the Xiebao Road, and even intercepted and killed the imperial envoys, so that Yizhou and Hanzhong would not have contact with the imperial court.
Now Liu Yan is not dead, and Zhang Lu is still under his control, so he is not the prince who later established himself in Hanzhong with five measures of rice.
Zhang Lu had no talent for governing the world. Under his rule, Hanzhong could only be described as passable, but not very good. Hanzhong can be regarded as a land of plenty, with the Han River flowing, and vast plains, with little external influence. If someone with the ability had changed, this place would have been a paradise to live and work in peace and contentment.
But anyway, it's better than many other places.
Zhao Yu and Zhao Ji came to Hanzhong and walked up the Han River. They experienced many scenic spots along the way, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
Finally, the couple stopped in Jigu County.
The population centers of Hanzhong are all in the Nanzheng area. Nanzheng is in the west of Hanzhong, so the vast area in the east of Hanzhong does not have much population. Jigu is not far to the north of Nanzheng. At the same time, Jigu is the key point guarding the Xiebao Road.
The road from Guanzhong to Hanzhong through Nanshan is Xiegu.
Nanshan is the Qinling Mountains. In this era, the Qinling Mountains are called Nanshan Mountains, just like the Yellow River is called a big river.
Jigu is an important military town. Although the war in the world has not reached here yet, there are still thousands of soldiers and horses stationed in Jigu. Zhao Yu and his wife came to Jigu and temporarily settled in a valley with beautiful mountains and clear waters outside Jigu.
There is a village outside the valley, with a population of no more than thirty or forty, and dozens of households. It is a small village. Most of the people in the village are hunters who make a living. Because there are many mountains nearby and there is little land, the benefits of farming are not as good as hunting.
People always seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, so this village called Hujiacun can basically be regarded as an Orion village.
Zhao Yu and his wife settled here, but they didn't attract any attention at first. When Zhao Yu built a wooden house in the valley and reclaimed a piece of wasteland, someone finally came to ask.
Four or five men carrying hunting forks and inferior bows and arrows walked into the valley.
When he saw Zhao Yu, he was polite and said, "Are you going to settle down here?!"
