At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

On the other side, Tai Shici's advance was also quite smooth.

Tai Shici led the naval fleet to head west in one breath, without encountering any obstacles on the way, and successfully arrived at the eastern coastal area of ​​Jiaozhi County.

After that, the army went ashore, prepared a logistics base, and then discussed the march, aiming at Longbian County, the prefecture of Jiaozhi County.

At this time, neither Tai Shici nor Shi Xie knew what happened in Nanhai County, nor Xu Huang's march. When Shi Xie heard the news that the imperial army had landed in the eastern coastal area, he let out a long sigh.

Then he ordered the whole county not to resist, and they could not resist in the face of the imperial army, but obediently accepted and obeyed the orders of the imperial army, and they also had to eat pots of pulp to welcome the king's teacher, singing and dancing, showing the greatest goodwill of the people of Jiaozhou, so that the imperial court Army sees.

In this way, as long as the generals of the imperial army are a little rational, they will not do anything unconscionable to Jiaozhi County or even the entire Jiaozhou.

Resistance is irresistible, even if you are lucky enough to resist for a while, it will not last long. The strength of the court is too strong. If you insist on defeating yourself at all costs, you will be completely defeated, and the scholar family will definitely be finished.

So voluntary surrender is the best way, and you have to eat the pot of milk to welcome Wang Shi, so that Wang Shi can't find any excuses.

As long as I descend fast enough and resolutely, you have nothing to do with me.

Shi Xie considered it this way.

Tai Shici took Zang Ba as the vanguard, Su Fei as the rear army, commanded the central army himself, and the army marched forward along the river to the northwest. When there was still a distance from Longbian County, Tai Shici saw Shi Xie in white.

"Sinful minister Shi Xie, welcome Wang Shi!"

Shi Xie led the soldiers and civilians of Longbian County to meet them in person, forming a ten-mile long team, and the people cheered for the Wei army.

They rewarded Wei Jun with all kinds of drinks and Jiaozhou specialty food. They lined the road to welcome them, their faces were full of joy, and they didn't see even a little panic.

All the troops under Shi Xie took off their armor and put down their weapons, and followed Shi Xie in only thin military uniforms to show that the army had no intention of resisting.

Such an operation made Tai Shici, Zang Ba, Su Fei and others dumbfounded and very surprised. They never expected that Shi Xie would welcome Wei Jun in this way.

Seeing that this group of common people greeted the arrival of Wei Jun with joy and encouragement, just like welcoming the return of his own relatives, Tai Shici couldn't say "offensive" even if he wanted to make military exploits.

That's too inhuman.

By the way, is this our home field?

Why do you feel like you're at home?

So Tai Shici, surrounded by his own soldiers, went to meet Shi Xie.

Shi Xie was dressed in white, holding the seal ribbon representing the prefect of Jiaozhi County in both hands, waiting for Tai Shici to come and accept the surrender.

Tai Shici's subordinates held the banner of "Dinghai General Tai Shi", surrounded Tai Shici and stepped forward, and Tai Shici asked Shi Xie sharply.

"Shi Xie, you originally appointed the prefect of Jiaozhi County for the imperial court to take care of one side on behalf of the emperor. Why do you oppose it?"

"The sinful minister has always kept in mind that he is the governor appointed by the emperor, and shepherds and guards one side on behalf of the emperor. He should serve the country loyally and do things for the emperor. Since he took office, he has never slack off for a day, and he has never rebelled."

"Never against?"

Tai Shici asked coldly: "Jiaozhou Shepherd Zhang Jin has conflicts with you. You two fought for personal grievances, which caused chaos in Jiaozhou and linked military disasters. You dare to do this without the emperor's order. Isn't that right? Against it?"

"Your Majesty's lesson, the general's lesson, the offender has never mobilized troops to resist. Jiaozhou Mu Zhangjin mobilized troops to attack the offender's family and clan, which aroused the anger of the people in Jiaozhou. They couldn't bear Zhang Jin's wrong actions. In order to protect themselves , and raised troops to fight against it.

The guilty minister kept restraint all the time and never used a single soldier. Instead, he went to Wanghai County to talk with Mr. Zhang in person, trying to resolve the dispute through conversation. However, Mr. Zhang coerced the criminal minister to support his son as the next governor of Jiaozhou.

The guilty minister thought that this was a matter of the court, and Zhang Shijun could not change it alone. Zhang Shijun's request for such a thing was an arrogance, a real rebellion, so the guilty minister could not accept it, and the discussion was fruitless. Order the criminals to be placed under house arrest.

Now that the guilty minister is under house arrest, his family members are worried about the safety of the guilty minister, and Zhang Shijun abused the power of the state shepherd, nepotism, and disrupted the political situation in Jiaozhou, so the current change happened, which was not what the criminal minister could have expected. "

Shi Xie's words made him clean.

Of course, in all fairness, Shi Xie did not make a big mistake in this matter. If he had to say it, it was not him who was wrong, but Zhang Jin.

It was Zhang Jin who had a bad brain due to illness, and wanted to find a future for his son, so he did this kind of thing. In addition, someone Guo himself was behind the scenes to fuel the flames. Strictly speaking, Shi Xie was implicated.

Shi Xie and Zhang Jin were clearly arranged by Guo Peng, and there was no problem at all.

So Shi Xie is quite innocent.

But the strength of the Jiaozhou scholar family displayed by Shi Xie is not such a simple matter.

Obviously, the strength displayed by the scholars in Jiaozhou has aroused the emperor's fear, making the emperor realize that the chaos in Jiaozhou depends on the scholars, and this is something the emperor cannot tolerate.

So the army came.

When the army came here, it was not just for a formality, but to obtain something to make the emperor feel relieved and satisfied, and in this way, the army could leave.

Otherwise, it's really hard to say.

Jiaozhou's productivity is low and the army is weak. If there is a real fight, Zhang Jin has nothing to say, but if you fight against the Wei army and the central government, you will be too overwhelmed.

So Shi Xie only wanted to be a tyrant, and didn't think about other things. Too many other things were a heavy burden for him. He knew the rules of survival, and he only wanted to be a tyrant, not a leader.

Facing Shi Xie like this, Tai Shici really had nothing else to say about his guilt.

"I will pass on your words to His Majesty, and leave everything to His Majesty to decide. Do you have any objections?"

"Everything is at the discretion of His Majesty and the General."

Shi Xie completely gave up resistance and was very obedient.

Tai Shici sighed, nodded, and looked towards the grand welcome occasion.

"Such a big battle, the gentleman of the Shifu is also troublesome, but the life of the people is difficult, and the people's livelihood is so difficult, such a thing, it is better not to do it."

Shi Xie nodded immediately.

"What the general said is that I have behaved improperly. I am really guilty. I am guilty. I will let them go back to give birth immediately. Then, general, please enter the city. The emperor's army can also be stationed nearby. I have already prepared enough food for the army. The army must be satisfied."

Shi Xie made full preparations, which made Tai Shici feel a little embarrassed.

The so-called stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling face, the warmth of the person, even Tai Shici's cold buttocks are warmed up.

So Tai Shici nodded and agreed with Shi Xie's approach.

However, the banquet is obviously not the first priority.

The next priority is Zhang Jin.

Tai Shici is going to see Zhang Jin.

It is said that Zhang Jin is terminally ill and will die soon, and now he has only one breath left. If Tai Shici came later, he might not be able to see him.

It's not too late now, Zhang Jin is not dead yet, Tai Shici can interrogate him.

Of course, take it easy and don't be tried to death.

"I thought you would hate him and kill him. He has ruined your family to such a degree. Do you still keep him?"

Tai Shici looked at Shi Xie.

Shi Xie shook his head.

"Zhang Jin is still a state shepherd and an official of the imperial court. The only person who can deal with him is the emperor. He is only a mere prefect. He has no such qualifications at all. This is a state matter, not a family matter."

Tai Shici immediately gave Shi Xie a high look.

As expected of playing politics, this awareness is different from those warriors who shout and kill.

Tai Shici followed Shi Xie to the room where Zhang Jin was under house arrest, only to feel that the room was filled with a strong smell of medicine.

Zhang Jin was lying on the bed half dead, waiting for the fate to come.

"Mr. Zhang, Dinghai General Tai Shici personally led the soldiers of the Son of Heaven to interrogate him, and he is standing in front of you now."

Shi Xie reminded Zhang Jin.

Zhang Jin looked up at the mighty Tai Shici in military uniform, and suddenly there was a little light in his cloudy old eyes.

He opened his mouth.

"The Son of Heaven... the Son of Heaven...have you allowed my report?"

Chapter 1362 One Thousand Two Seventy Two Shi Xie's Unexpected Response

His report?

Isn't it already rejected?

Tai Shici looked at Shi Xie suspiciously.

"Is it for his son to be the state shepherd?"

"No, he handed in another memorial before, thinking that instead of being the governor of the state, he could be the governor, but he wanted his son to stay in Jiaozhou."

Tai Shici frowned, feeling very puzzled.

"Zhang Jin, why do you think your son is qualified to be the governor? Or do you think the official position of governor can be hereditary? How dare you make such a request?"

Tai Shici didn't understand why he asked Guo Peng for the governor?

Did he really think of himself as Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue back then?

At any rate, Zhao Tuo had the strength, confidence, and ability to frighten the barbarians in South Vietnam. He really had the foundation for establishing an empire.

He still has the foundation left by the 50 Qin army, as well as an elite and capable army, and the Han Empire at that time was not as powerful and untouchable as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the middle and late stages.

Now you, Zhang Jin, have a fart background.

The current Wei Empire is not comparable to the Han Empire back then.

The Han Empire still has border troubles in the north, and needs to treat you tenderly. The Wei Empire has no border troubles now, and the four seas have clarified that they are just waiting to enter a prosperous age so that everyone can enjoy peace. In the end, you actually want to separate one side?

After a little comparison, you will know that you are completely thinking about eating peaches.

But he actually brought it up.

Out of your mind?

Zhang Jin seemed to feel from Tai Shici's question that his request seemed impossible, so the last ray of hope left was gone.

He has been holding his breath all the time, thinking whether he can wait for a miracle, but now he can't wait for a miracle, and he is quite desperate.

This despair, rolled his eyes, died.

The death was very straightforward, and both Tai Shici and Shi Xie were a little caught off guard.

"died?"

"Probably...he's dead."

Not to mention Tai Shici's displeasure, Shi Xie didn't expect Zhang Jin to die so simply.

"he……"

Tai Shici said annoyedly: "Isn't he too arrogant? After doing such a thing, he still expects his son to be the governor? Why should he?"

There are many people who have made great achievements in the Wei Empire, and no one dares to say what they can do.

Cao Ren's contribution is as high as that of Cao Ren, and he also retired to his hometown to enjoy his old age. Cao Hong, a relative general, almost lost his life, and now he only has one life left.

All civil servants and military generals know that their fate is in the hands of the emperor, why are you Zhang Jin playing special?

"I heard that Zhang Jin loves his son very much, but his son has no real skills. He probably wants to help his son find a job before he dies."

Shi Xie made a reasonable guess.

"absurd."

Tai Shici shook his head: "How can a person who offends the emperor expect to get a position? My emperor, Wei, has clear rewards and punishments for his actions. Zhang Jin should be punished for doing something wrong!"

Shi Xie repeatedly said yes, and then invited Tai Shici to the dinner tonight.

"The general and the army have come from afar, and I will prepare a little wine to wash away the wind and dust for the general and the army. I hope that the general and the army will wash away their tiredness, as if they are at home, without restraint. The general has something to ask, and I will definitely do my best. Satisfied General."

Tai Shici felt a little strange when he heard what Shi Xie said.

"Any needs?"

"Yes, any needs, as long as the general needs it, I will do my best to satisfy the general."

Shi Xie had a flattering face.

This is a bit ambiguous.

You guy, are you trying to make me make a mistake, be recorded and punished by the military judge?

Tai Shici laughed, and began to look forward to tonight's banquet.

That night, Shi Xie did pull out all the stops, offering local food and drinks to Tai Shici and the army to enjoy.
