Chapter 171 The new son-in-law of the prefect

Just after the chief Yang Chen left, a person came out from behind the screen in the hall where the prefect Zhang Chutao was located. "My father-in-law, it seems that this Changshi Yang is still unwilling to be at the position of the prefect of Dai'an County!"

The prefect Zhang Chutao snorted at the man and said, "General Shi, my daughter has not married you yet. You should call me the prefect. As for Yang Changshi, he is a smart man and does not dare to make any small moves without military power!"

It turned out that the person who appeared behind the screen was Shi Mao, the highest guerrilla general in the border army in Shangyuan City.

Shi Mao smiled and said, "My father-in-law, since we have made an agreement, then this general will definitely marry Miss Zhang. As long as Miss Zhang has been in the name of a peaceful wife, I will marry Miss Zhang into the Shi family's door in the name of a equitable wife."

It turned out that the prefect Zhang Chutao married dozens of wives and concubines throughout his life, but these dozens of wives and concubines gave birth to only one daughter for Zhang Chutao. After that, no matter how hard Zhang Chutao worked towards his beautiful wife and concubines, there was no movement at all.

Zhang Chutao loves such a precious daughter very much and has been trained since childhood. When Zhang Wanting grew up, she was not only a talented woman who was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also a beautiful woman with a beautiful appearance.

Unfortunately, Miss Zhang's life was not very good. She made a marriage three times, but the engagement partner either died of an acute illness or an accident. After finally getting engaged for the fourth time, she finally got married. As a result, the groom had an accident again, and her feet slipped and she fell. But unfortunately, the groom's head hit the corner of the table directly, and blood flowed. In the end, the groom was not saved and died.

From then on, the precious daughter of the prefect Zhang Chutao was borne by the title of a star of the demise. No family or powerful family dared to marry Zhang Wanting again. Now, two and a half years have passed since Zhang Wanting got married, and Zhang Wanting is only 21 years old. According to the customs of the Jin Dynasty, widows can marry others as long as they keep their pride for three years, and their in-laws cannot stop them.

After Zhang Wanting's newlywed husband died unexpectedly, she moved back to her parents' home. The prefect Zhang Chutao was worried about the marriage of her precious daughter. Zhang Wanting was only 21 years old. Zhang Chutao must not watch her daughter die alone, but Zhang Chutao cannot find any son-in-law, so she has to find someone with a similar family background.

The question is, who would like to take the risk of marrying a star of the Sangmen? Although Zhang Wanting's appearance is definitely a stunning beauty, everyone has to consider whether she has the life to enjoy this star of the Sangmen!

Just when the prefect Zhang Chutao was anxious to get angry for his daughter's lifelong happiness, Shi Mao, the garrison of Shangyuan City, suddenly volunteered to stand up and expressed his willingness to the prefect Zhang Chutao to marry Zhang Wanting, but Shi Mao asked Zhang Chutao to help him and obtain the position of prefect of Dai'an County.

Shi Mao is only in his early thirties this year, and the Shi family is among the generals in Shangyuan City. After thinking about it for a few days, the prefect Zhang Chutao agreed to Shi Mao's request. However, because Zhang Wanting's three years of keeping the throne has not yet come, this matter has not been announced. Even the chief Yang Chen didn't know that Shi Mao would become the new son-in-law of the prefect Zhang Chutao, otherwise Yang Chen would not have the idea of ​​fighting the position of the prefect of Dai'an County again.

"Yang Changshi came in a hurry just now. I don't know what kind of expensive General Shi is here today?" Although the prefect Zhang Chutao decided to betroth his daughter Zhang Wanting to Shi Mao, Zhang Chutao did not have much affection for Shi Mao, or Zhang Chutao, a loyal minister of the Jin Dynasty, had no good feelings for all those who had ulterior motives.

Shi Mao suddenly said with a serious expression: "My father-in-law, my son-in-law also sent someone to Chengyin County for investigation, and the people sent by my son-in-law were more detailed than the spies sent by Yang Changshi."

"Oh? What else is there in Chengyin County?"

"My father-in-law, the son-in-law's man is rewarded. After the general of Chengyin County captured the Cangxiong tribe, he almost moved the entire Cangxiong tribe back. Because there were too many people and livestock, the general named Liu Ji even directly occupied a large area of ​​grassland outside the Xishan Pass to resettle the population and livestock!"

After pausing, Shi Mao continued, "And the troops under Liu Ji were definitely not just 50,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry. According to the son-in-law's return, Liu Ji formed a total of thirteen battalions of cavalry and four battalions of infantry in his hands."

The prefect Zhang Chutao frowned, "The 13th Battalion cavalry and the 4th Battalion infantry are less than 80,000?"

"My father-in-law, the son-in-law found out that there were about 10,000 people in one cavalry battalion under Liu Ji, and there were about 8,000 people in one infantry battalion."

"What? How is it possible? After doing this, Liu Ji had more than 160,000 soldiers in his hands! Cough cough cough--" Prefect Zhang Chutao exclaimed immediately, and suddenly started to cough violently again.

"My father-in-law, don't be excited. That Liu Ji does have more than 160,000 soldiers. My son-in-law came today to discuss with my father-in-law how to take the troops of Chengyin County into your own use."

The prefect Zhang Chutao coughed violently for a while before he breathed a sigh of relief. Then Zhang Chutao shook his head and said, "Now is not as good as before. The generals of the army in various places are almost fighting on their own. Although our Dai'an County is the county government of Chengyin County, the army of Chengyin County will not obey the orders of this prefect. As for the military orders of you, the guerrilla general, I believe that the general Liu Ji would not pay attention to it. It is impossible to incorporate more than 100,000 troops from Yin County!"

"My father-in-law, the matter is in human affairs. Once the son-in-law can control the more than 100,000 soldiers in Chengyin County, not to mention Dai'an County, even the entire Qianzhou will become the final decision. So the son-in-law comes today, just hopes that the father-in-law can help a group of son-in-law and trick Liu Ji to Shangyuan City. As long as the son-in-law controls Liu Ji, he can find a way to control more than 100,000 soldiers in the hands of the son-in-law."
