Chapter 2464
After Huang Xu left, the civil servants and military officers in the hall were talking a lot. The King of Jin sent envoys here, which really surprised them.
"Prefect, the envoy came here to get the prefect to join the King of Jin. The King of Jin claims to be the king without authorization and does not obey the orders of the court. He is a traitor." An official said with his hand in hand.
Zhao Cheng coughed lightly and said, "Rebel? Now the King of Jin is the master of Yizhou. The court is weak. Otherwise, why would the King of Jin be getting stronger and stronger?"
"Is it possible that the prefect is planning to defect to King Jin?"
Zhao Cheng sighed: "Since I took charge of Yongchang County, I haven't done much. It would be great if I could go to Chang'an to take care of myself."
When the officials in the city heard this, the discussion became even more intense.
Zhao Cheng did not understand the thoughts of his officials, especially those from aristocratic families. Naturally, he did not want Lu Bu to send someone to serve as the prefect of Yongchang. No matter how desolate and barren the use was, he was always the prefect of a county. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. What is there here?
The matter was beyond his reach, but Zhao Cheng felt Lu Bu's determination through Lu Bu's series of actions. It was simply impossible to fight against the Chang'an Army at this time.
It can be seen from Lu Bu's past actions that he believed that the hero would most likely aspire to the highest position in the future.
Over the years, the Han Dynasty has been fighting endlessly, and the barbarians have become dominant in the southern counties. Even when Liu Bei was in charge of Yizhou, he did not take action against the barbarian tribes. However, after Lu Bu arrived, he pacified the barbarian tribes at an extremely fast speed, so that
The barbarian tribe bowed its head and surrendered. This is the difference between the two.
"After I leave, I will recommend you to the King of Jin to continue to hold your current official positions." Zhao Chengdao.
After hearing Zhao Cheng's words, the civil servants and generals in the field had their own thoughts, but they understood that Zhao Cheng's surrender to the King of Jin could no longer be changed.
"If anyone dares to cause trouble at this time, don't blame me for not caring about our past feelings." Zhao Cheng's tone suddenly became cold.
"I will obey the order of the prefect," the officials in the venue said one after another.
The generals in the army have little opposition to the King of Jin. Yongchang County is not very stable. The leader of the Ugo Kingdom is a huge hidden danger. He is just a small barbarian tribe. He dares to establish the Ugo Kingdom in Yongchang County. It is clearly
Ignoring the Han army.
After Lu Bu arrives with his army, he will definitely not let this situation continue, and it is imperative to put down Wutugu.
"Today's events must not be spread to outsiders. The envoys must be careful about the safety of the city and cannot be slack," Zhao Chengdao said.
Even the aristocratic families in the city have to be wary of Zhao Cheng's orders. When Zhao Cheng was in charge of Yongchang County in these years, although he was not as powerful as the army, he did not let the city suffer wars. As people grew older, they became better.
I'm not sure what kind of backup Zhao Cheng has in store.
Zhao Cheng hosted a banquet for Huang Xu in his mansion that night, introduced the officials of Yongchang County to Huang Xu, and then announced his intention to join the Jin Dynasty.
Huang Xu was overjoyed when he heard this. Regarding Zhao Cheng's request to go to Chang'an, Huang Xu immediately said that he would inform the King of Jin.
Zhao Cheng believed that Lu Bu would agree to his request. If Yongchang County wanted to make fundamental changes, the current situation in Yongchang County would change. Among them, the original officials of Yongchang County would definitely be purged, and he had the merit of taking refuge.
Even if you go to Chang'an, you won't be in trouble. Living in Chang'an, you can enjoy life more.
Future generations will also have greater opportunities in Chang'an, but in Yongchang County, there is not much temptation for him. If it was ten years ago, he might have resisted.
However, Zhao Cheng had already felt the decline of the Han Dynasty through the changes in the world situation. Although there was still a court in Xudu, the court's deterrence to the princes no longer existed.
From the fact that Lu Bu became king, Zhao Cheng could see how ambitious Lu Bu was. The remote Yongchang County sent envoys to show that this was a monarch who had the mind to open up territories.
Loyalty to the Han Dynasty has been reduced to the lowest level in remote Yongchang County.
Huang Xu led the envoy team back to victory, while Meng Huo came to the tribe where Wutu Bone was located near Yuyu.
Looking at Wu Tu Gu's height, one feels a strong sense of oppression. It is rumored that Wu Tu Gu is two feet tall. In fact, Wu Tu Gu's height is not that much, but it is more than ten feet tall. His appearance looks extremely ugly.
Naturally, Meng Huo and Wu Tu Gu had heard of each other, and the two had met before.
"Why did the Barbarian King come here?" Wutu Gu asked. Naturally, he had heard about the war between Yizhou County and Yueqi County. He even directly refused the invitation of Gaoding, the prefect of Yuexun.
But if Meng Huo came to invite him, the situation would be different. Although the two had only met once, they had become allies. If Meng Huo had any difficulties, Wu Tu Gu would help him.
"To be honest with you, my lord, I fought with the King of Jin and was severely defeated. Five hundred elephant soldiers were lost." Meng Huo sighed.
"Could it be that the Man King came here to ask for reinforcements? Our lord has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, so what can the elite Chang'an army do?" Wutu Gu said.
Meng Huo said: "Now I have surrendered to the King of Jin."
Wu Tu Gu was shocked when he heard this. He knew that Meng Huo had grown stronger over the years, but he didn't expect that Meng Huo would defect to the King of Jin.
There were more and more conflicts between the barbarian tribes and the Han people. The fact that Wu Tu Gu could survive near Yiyu was closely related to the powerful rattan armored soldiers under his command. However, Wu Tu Gu did not invade the Han people's city.
This was to avoid attracting the Han army.
The rattan armor used by the rattan armor soldiers is made from rattan unique to the Ugo Kingdom. The rattan grows in mountain streams, is coiled on rocks, is harvested and immersed in oil. It takes half a year to take it out and dry it. After drying, it is immersed in oil again. This is how
After more than ten times, the rattan armor can be made. When worn on the body, it can cross the river without being immersed in menstrual water or wet, and cannot be penetrated by swords and arrows. Therefore, it is called the rattan armor army. Wutu Bone has tens of thousands of rattan armor soldiers in his hands, which is extremely powerful.
"Why does the Barbarian King need to seek refuge with the Jin King? As long as the leader of the country leads a large army, he will definitely be able to defeat the Chang'an army." Wutu Gu said.
"May I ask the king, what will happen if the vine armor soldiers encounter a fire?" Meng Huo asked in a low voice.
Wu Tu Gu's expression changed greatly when he heard this. He was naturally very familiar with the characteristics of the vine armor soldiers. These vine armors have been repeatedly soaked in oil and will burn when exposed to fire.
"This is what the King of Jin told me." Meng Huo said: "If the king of the country surrenders to the King of Jin, the tribe can be safe. The King of Jin does not treat the barbarians like other Han officials."
