"Your Highness, these people came with me to discuss the land of Hanzhong, and please open the city gate quickly and let me wait in." Xue Baoshan and Zhou Zhengming reported the intention of coming to Hongcheng and others.
"good."
Zhou Zheng also agreed immediately after listening to Xue Baoshan's words.
And the promise was very straightforward, and Cao Zhijiang didn't react at all.
"How did Your Highness agree so readily?" Cao Zhijiang couldn't help questioning Zhou Zheng. He could treat some things as if he couldn't see them.
But on this matter, Xue Baoshan had to give a reasonable answer, otherwise, how could the city gate be opened so easily.
"Didn't you hear Xue Baoshan say that they came to discuss the land of Hanzhong? How can such a major event be delayed." Zhou Zhen said righteously.
Zhou Zheng had anger on his face.
"But this swordsman?"
Cao Zhijiang said in his heart that if I can't hear you, can't you see it? Didn't you see this swordsman?
"Maybe it's because people from Xiyi are afraid of death."
Zhou Zheng looked at Cao Zhijiang, don't you want a reason? Alright, I will give you a reason. People in Xiyi are greedy for life and afraid of death, so they carry knives and axes.
This reason is sufficient.
"Your Highness, do you think this reason can convince yourself?"
Cao Zhijiang asked, greedy for life and afraid of death?
Cao Zhijiang really wanted to laugh, even if they were greedy for life and afraid of death, the people of Xiyi would probably not be greedy for life and afraid of death, this matter is not convincing at all.
"Cao Zhijiang, are you only questioning me? Don't forget your identity. You are just a small county magistrate. This king is in charge here."
Zhou Zheng saw that he couldn't say no to Cao Zhijiang, and immediately took out his identity to suppress Cao Zhijiang.
Prince?
Prince?
"Since the conversation has come to this point, Your Highness, you should also know that I, Cao Zhijiang, is not your Highness, the magistrate of Qingshui City. Even if you are a prince, in Qingshui City, you still have the right to be an official."
Cao Zhijiang said neither humble nor overbearing.
This matter is not clear, how can the city gate be opened easily, if something happens, who will be responsible.
And even if something happened, could Zhou Zheng still be punished? This is the prince, he patted his ass and left, and in the end it was not their people in Qingshui City who suffered.
"you?"
Zhou Zheng didn't expect Cao Zhijiang to be so strong.
"Lord Cao, before leaving Chang'an, the emperor has already handed over the rights of the Southwest to His Royal Highness King Lu. Your Qingshui City is also in the Southwest. Is it possible that you want to resist the decree?"
Shi Kuan stood up and asked.
"The emperor handed over the rights to the Southwest to His Highness, but the Emperor didn't know the current situation. If he knew, would the Emperor still hand over the rights to His Highness?"
? Cao Zhijiang said.
Under such a situation, they cannot abide by the so-called emperor's will, they must judge the situation by themselves and see the situation clearly.
"It's just five hundred knives and axes, Mr. Cao, why make a fuss, even if they come in, they won't be able to make any trouble."
Shi Kuan continued.
Five hundred knives and axes is completely nothing to worry about.
"This is not something to worry about, it's a matter of principle!" Cao Zhijiang still didn't want to give in.
"Cao Zhijiang, if this king insists on opening the city gate, what do you think we should do?"
Zhou Zheng pressed Cao Zhijiang directly, as if the relationship between Zhou Zheng and Cao Zhijiang had reached a point where they couldn't break the stick, and one of them had to give in.
"It's just opening a city gate, why did it take so long."
Hong Cheng said a little tirelessly.
"General, wait a moment."
Xue Baoshan told Hong Cheng to wait a while. When Xue Baoshan looked at the city wall, it was Cao Zhijiang and Zhou Zheng who scolded Xue Baoshan, and these two people directly hung them outside.
What if these people become angry and kill themselves?
"If you don't get out of the way, Shi Kuan will do it!"
Zhou Zheng began to threaten, forcing Cao Zhijiang to open the city gate and let everyone enter Qingshui.?
the other side.
"My lord!"
Zhou Zheng led the army to the vicinity of Qingshui City. In order not to cause misunderstandings, Zhou Heng wanted to have someone go to greet Cao Zhijiang, the county magistrate of Qingshui City, and ask Cao Zhijiang to wait for them.
"Why are you back?"
Zhou Heng asked in surprise when he saw the people he had sent out suddenly come back.
Could it be that he saw Cao Zhijiang.
"Have you met Cao Zhijiang so soon?" Zhou Heng continued to ask.
"No."
One person shook his head.
"What are you doing without you coming back? Isn't Cao Zhijiang in Qingshui City?" Zhou Heng continued to ask.
"Neither of them, report back to the lord, we saw a group of Xiyi soldiers outside Qingshui City, we will return and report to you immediately after we see it."
One person told Zhou Heng about the situation.
They went to Qingshui City according to Zhou Heng's order, but when they were close to Qingshui City, they saw Xiyi soldiers and horses, so they didn't dare to go forward, and they didn't dare to delay, so they returned immediately to tell Zhou Heng.
I want to hear Zhou Heng's next instructions.
"Why did the people from Xiyi appear in Qingshui City?"
Zhou Heng became puzzled.
"Could it be that Qingshui City is in danger?" The general Jing Qi asked suspiciously. The appearance of Xiyi soldiers and horses in Qingshui City must have happened.
"Impossible, if it is a large-scale siege, how can we not know any information, how many people are there in the enemy army?" Yao Dan asked the visitor.
"About five hundred people."
The visitor replied.
Five hundred people?
Seeing that it is not a siege, how could it be possible for five hundred people to attack the city.
"Is it to threaten Qingshui City?"
"Impossible, what can five hundred people threaten?"
"Don't forget, they still have 100,000 troops in Hanzhong City."
Everyone in the military tent also began to become suspicious, not understanding what was going on.
"Don't think about it, you will know when you go? Jingqi, Yaodan, Li Xingba, you three, bring 500 people and follow me to Qingshui City!"
Zhou Heng decided to go and see for himself.
"Follow the order!"
The three of Li Xingba nodded immediately.
"Your Highness, would you like to bring some more people there?" Jun Buqi said worriedly, in case something happened, they could still take advantage of the large number of people.
"No, they have 500 people, and we have 500 people. If I bring one more person, I'm worried that they will say that Zhou Heng bullies the few with the more." Zhou Heng said domineeringly.
Just take five hundred people away, not even one more.
"Your Highness is domineering!"
Jing Qi said that they disagreed with Feng Zheng and the others. Feng Zheng and the others followed Zhou Heng to Luliang City, fought in battles, and knew Zhou Heng's style.
However, Jingqi, Yao Dan and others were in contact with Zhou Heng for the first time. They had only heard of Zhou Heng, but had never really experienced it. Now Zhou Heng's words made their blood boil.
This sentence is too domineering. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
