Chapter 563 Can’t

Zhao Hanzhang met Xun Xiu on a narrow road in front of the main house.

At this time, Xun Xiu was lifted out by two soldiers with his arms, and his feet were slightly suspended in the air. When they met, the two soldiers and Xun Xiu who were being carried looked at Zhao Hanzhang stiffly.

Zhao Hanzhang clicked his tongue twice, looked up and down for a moment and then his eyes fell on somewhere on him, "General Xun is very powerful. He received thirty military staffs, which is easier than General Mi who only received twenty military staffs. Can he go to the ground now?"

Xun Xiu hurriedly asked the soldiers to put him on the ground. He held his lower back and managed to stand, "Shijun, I was just bored at home, so I asked people to carry me over. I can't actually get down to the ground."

Zhao Hanzhang said to his two soldiers, "What are you doing standing still? Why don't you take your general back quickly?"

The two soldiers immediately lifted Xun Xiu up and were about to leave. Zhao Hanzhang's eyes widened and he asked, "Where are you going?"

Zhao Hanzhang raised his chin and motioned for them to carry him into the house.

The two soldiers looked at Xun Xiu.

Xun Xiu: "Look at what I am doing, why don't you obey your envoy's orders quickly?"

His arms are lifted like this. It's very tiring, isn't it?

Two soldiers quickly carried him into the house, and Zhao Hanzhang followed behind.

When Mi Ce, who was lying on the mat, saw Xun Xiu coming back, he acted as if he didn't know anything and said with a surprised look on his face: "Why is General Xun back again?"

Zhao Hanzhang glanced at the distance between him and the door. They didn't lower their voices when they were talking at the door. He didn't believe he couldn't hear them.

Mi Ce seemed to have just seen Zhao Hanzhang and was shocked, "Why are you here?"

He was about to stand up and salute as soon as he exerted his strength on his arm. Zhao Hanzhang raised his hand and said: "Okay, no need to be more polite. You can lie down first."

Mi Ce took a careful look at Zhao Hanzhang's face and found that he was okay and didn't look angry, so he explained: "General Xun was bored because of his illness, so he came to talk to me."

While he was talking, he lay down on his back. Perhaps because he moved too much, he stirred up a gust of wind, and the paper he was holding flew out with a chirp, rolled up, and landed at Zhao Hanzhang's feet.

Xun Xiu's eyes widened and he reached out to grab it, but he was far away and was being held up, so he couldn't reach it and even touched the wound on his butt.

Zhao Hanzhang leaned over to pick it up and found that it was a simple map of Luoyang City, with various streets drawn on it and various cities and towns circled.

On this map, there are more than a dozen circles circled with ink pen.

Zhao Hanzhang took a serious look and found that there were residential buildings and shops enclosed within the area. They were scattered and the locations were good or bad.

Xun Xiu and Mi Ce looked at each other in confusion, and then lay still.

Xun Xiu was also lying on his stomach, and his heart was bleeding.

Zhao Hanzhang waved to the soldiers of the Mi family.

The soldier, who was particularly attentive, brought a mat over and spread it directly opposite Mi Ce and Xun Xiu. He also thoughtfully brought a futon.

Zhao Hanzhang knelt down opposite them and extended his hand to Mi Ce, "Are there any more?"

Mi Ce couldn't help but look at Xun Xiu.

Xun Xiu lowered his head and put his chin on the back of his hands, neither speaking nor looking at Mi Ce.

Zhao Hanzhang looked at Mi Ce insistently, and Mi Ce slowly raised his upper body, took out two more papers from under his body and handed them to Zhao Hanzhang.

On paper, it's still Luoyang, but it's the other two sides.

Except for the north part of the city which was almost burned, this is the south part of the city, the west part of the city and the east part of the city are included.

Zhao Hanzhang counted the numbers circled above and asked: "What is the pattern of these shops and houses? Are there people living nearby?"

Seeing Xun Xiu and Mi Ce stunned, she knew she had guessed correctly. She smiled and nodded: "This is a good idea. Everyone is busy now, especially Zhao Kuan. The empty houses and shops in Luoyang City are still busy." In the future, if you have time to collect the registration, you can choose an empty house nearby where people already live, and put someone in it to occupy a big house. Luoyang is at a time when everything is waiting to be revitalized, and the people from the yamen will not inspect it in detail. Don’t be afraid if you are careful, just spend some money.”

Xun Xiu and Mi Ce:...

Why does their lord not look like a young lady from an aristocratic family, but like a worldly old official?

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and handed the paper to Xun Xiu.

Xun Xiu didn't dare to take it anymore and said quickly: "I don't dare. These were originally meant to be handed over to the lord."

Zhao Hanzhang raised his eyelids and looked at him for a while. Seeing a slight sweat on his forehead, he smiled and said, "I will pass it on to Zhao Kuan."

He is the magistrate of Luoyang County, and these matters are under his control.

Zhao Hanzhang handed the three pieces of paper to his guards and began to look at the two people lying on the table.

Xun Xiu and Mi Ce felt a little uncomfortable when she saw them, so they couldn't help but move their bodies.

Zhao Hanzhang asked with gentle eyes: "Is the injury better?"

The two of them nodded together, "Much better." Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to get together to make an asset.

This is Luoyang. Although the emperor has moved the capital, they all feel that when the world is stable, the emperor will definitely move back again. By then, a house will be worth a lot of money.

"That's fine," Zhao Hanzhang said, "Then you can rest for two days and then return to Yuzhou."

The two of them stared at each other, "Go back to Yuzhou?"

"Yes," Zhao Hanzhang said, "I asked for merit for you earlier, and His Majesty has already agreed. Now you are not only generals, but also prefects of Yingchuan County and Yiyang County. Neither place can leave the prefecture for too long."

Xun Xiu couldn't help but look at Mi Ce.

In the past, although they had the power to lead troops, they had no right to govern the local area. The governor also intended to restrain them. After Zhao Hanzhang took over Yuzhou, although he often assigned them tasks, he relied more on them.

This time, they were asked to be granted the title of prefect. With this right, it would be more convenient to raise troops.

Zhao Hanzhang really wanted them to raise their own troops and at least relax their rights to a certain extent, so the three of them discussed the policy of stationing troops.

At present, Runan County has the best policy of stationing troops. "The troops in Zhao Ju's hands can basically be self-sufficient during non-war times. Now the people are scattered and there are a lot of wastelands. If you bring the soldiers back, they can open up wasteland and farmland." "

Both Xun Xiu and Mi Ce had also heard that Zhao Hanzhang had deployed nearly 100,000 soldiers in the fields of Runan County. Those people were soldiers in war and civilians in peacetime. They practiced during the leisure time and were brought to the battlefield. Many fewer people died than the current conscription army. , and the fields will not be wasted.

Xun Xiu and Mi Ce both nodded.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "I only have two requirements for stationing troops. First, we must not invade the people's fertile land; second, we must not treat the soldiers who are stationed lightly."

She said: "The Huns are very ambitious, and even Xianbei is eyeing them. Luoyang and Yuzhou are blocking their way south. Therefore, whenever there is a war, Yuzhou will bear the brunt."

"As long as we go to the battlefield, we have to rely on soldiers. Otherwise, no matter how heroic we are, there is only one person, so don't treat them poorly," Zhao Hanzhang said: "What I want is an army that can be handed over to my back."

Xun Xiu and Mi Ce looked serious and nodded solemnly, "Yes."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded, stood up and said, "Okay, you can continue chatting. I think it will be an auspicious day in three days. Let your men order the troops and prepare to set off."

Xun Xiu and Mi Ce looked bitter at the same time, feeling pain in their buttocks, and quickly shouted: "Your Majesty, can you give me a few more days of grace?"

Zhao Hanzhang grinned at them, "No!"

If she stays for one more day, she will have one more day of food. The two armies have more than 50,000 people. How much food will they eat in one day?

See you tomorrow
