Chapter 160 The Second Year of the Holy Calendar (1) 5/5
Time flies, winter goes, spring comes.⊙,
The arrival of an ice rain indicates that the severe winter has passed. Unconsciously, the two years of Shengli quietly entered people's lives.
The turmoil last year made Hebei Road particularly depressed.
Now, although the Turks have retreated to the north of the Great Wall, the damage they have brought to Hebei Road cannot be erased.
From August to mid-September, the Turks withdrew their troops. In one month, more than 100,000 people were displaced, of which more than 20,000 died.
When Mochu evacuated, he even plundered nearly 30,000 people.
It was drizzling with ice and rain. In the Governor's Office in Ji County, Zhang Rendan was sitting in the study, looking through a battle report.
At this time, the Central Plains has rejuvenated.
However, in Youzhou area, the weather is still cold and the temperature is low and cold.
The rain carried fine ice beads, hitting the window edges, making a crackling sound.
There was a brazier in the room, and the charcoal fire was so warm that it made people feel a little warm. Zhang Rendan, wearing a black fur robe, suddenly put down the battle report in his hand, got up and walked to the door, shouting in a deep voice: "Go and call Bo Yu."
After saying that, he suddenly woke up again.
Chen Zi'ang left Youzhou not long ago and went back to his mind.
This time, he turned to Shendu and was about to resign from his post. Nominally, he wanted to keep his father mourning. But in fact, he had to resign from his post and go home because he offended the powerful and powerful people in the court. After he left, he didn't know when he would be able to meet again.
Zhang Rentan was a general promoted by Wu Zetian and was trusted by Wu Zetian.
In his early years, he became the top scholar in the third category of Wu and became the top scholar, thus entering Wu Zetian's vision. He was also lucky. Shortly after he won the top scholar in Wu Zetian, he encountered wars one after another, and was promoted step by step, and was highly valued by Wu Zetian.
In comparison, the first martial arts top scholar, Ban Qian, was appointed as a bachelor's degree in Hongwenguan, teaching and educating people; the second martial arts top scholar, Sun Siguan, offended Wu Chengsi because of his reckless personality. Even though he was demoted to the people, he no longer knew whereabouts.
Only he can stand out in the three martial arts.
Even when he was a military supervisor in the Tula army, he was disagreeing with the Xia official Wang Xiaojie, so he sent someone to complain to Wu Zetian. This was originally a very obvious battle. As a result, Wang Xiaojie was dismissed, and Zhang Rentan was promoted to the Attorney Censor. Later, Zhang Rentan participated in Sun Chengjing and then served as the governor of Youzhou.
Many people even believe that Zhang Rentan and Wu Zetian must have a relative.
But Zhang Rentan knew in his heart that the reason why he gained Wu Zetian's trust was because he had no background in the court.
Zhang Rentan, who was born in a civilian family, was not as good as those noble descendants.
He had no foundation in the court, so he was more likely to gain Wu Zetian's trust and later achieved the ultimate favor.
Last year, in the battle of Wuhuiling, Zhang Rendan blocked Mochu for three days, allowing Di Renjie to rectify his troops and pursue him from behind. Although he was eventually led by Mochu to break through, for Zhang Rendan, he had completed the mission successfully.
However, he also lacked a trustworthy partner.
He had long persuaded Chen Zi'ang to be loyal to Wu Zetian and not to get too close to Liang Wang Wu Sansi.
Unfortunately, Chen Zi'ang did not listen to his persuasion. This time he offended King Liang, it is conceivable that Chen Zi'ang's life will be difficult in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhang Rendan took a bite.
He shook his head, adjusted his emotions, and said to his follower: "Please come here."
"yes."
The servant quickly agreed and left quickly.
Zhang Rentan returned to the house, sat down at the table, picked up the battle report again, read it carefully, and frowned.
Outside the house, footsteps sounded.
A strong man came in from outside and bowed and said, "When will the governor call Guan Hu?"
Guan Hu, it turned out to be Guan Hu!
He was just a squad leader in the yamen, so why did he transform into a chief minister of the seventh rank of the Youzhou Governor's Office?
Zhang Rentan put down the battle report and showed a kind smile on his face.
"Tiger, are you still used to this in the Governor's Office?"
Guan Hu smiled shyly and said, "Governor Zhang was joking. Beizhi was originally just a poor arrest team, but now he has become the chief of the seventh rank. I wonder how many people have envied. Even if he is not used to it, Beizhi must be used to it."
Zhang Rentan laughed loudly when he heard this.
"After all, I'm not used to it."
Guan Hu scratched his head and whispered: "I've been working as a team leader. Every day, I've become a habit to deal with those desperate people. Now I'm sitting in the room all day to direct others, and I feel a little weird in my heart."
"That's okay, just get used to it." Zhang Rentan said, and signaled Guan Hu to sit down.
"To be honest, you are much older than mine.
Although I did not get high school, I was attracted by the saints and introduced to Luantai. When I first learned about your identity, I was shocked. You were so lucky that you could withstand loneliness and have been a tycoon in this county for so many years. But it was a pity that I had been in the top scorer. Although Sun Siguan was the top scorer, he was still missing and not knowing his life or death?
You have entered the eyes of the saint and have a bright future."
Guan Hu seemed to be a little lost and sat there for a long time without talking.
After a while, he seemed to react, and shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Siguan has a good background, is reckless and can't bear grievances. I have been used to suffering since I was a child, so what's the matter? By the way, the governor asked me to come, do you have any instructions?"
Zhang Rentan slapped his forehead as if he had just remembered it and handed Guan Hu the battle report on the table.
"Tiger, have you seen this information?"
Guan Hu took it and glanced, nodded slightly, "I have seen it, and I have found someone to confirm the news. What was said above is correct, and according to the detailed report, in early December last year, Murong Xuanjun was attacked by two assassins on his way back to the camp from King Xi's tent, and then kidnapped by the assassins. At that time, Rao Le was shocked, and Li Daqiu also sent troops to assist in the search... About twelve days later, on December 19, Murong Xuanjun's body was found in a cave.
However, there was water in the cave, which made the temperature in the cave very high.
When the body was found, it had already started to rot and was almost unrecognizable. Later, Murong Xuanjun's servant found a birthmark like a black cloud on the body, and it was confirmed that the body was Murong Xuanjun's corpse."
After Guan Hu finished speaking, he picked up the water cup from the table and drank it all in one go.
However, when he finished drinking the water, he realized that he was no longer in Changping. The person sitting opposite him was not the unconventional Yang Chenglie.
For a moment, Guan Hu seemed a little embarrassed.
Zhang Rentan didn't care, but instead urged: "Continue to talk."
"After Murong Xuanjun's accident, his subordinates also began to flee.
Chapter completed!
