The young man named Shi Shao was a young man with a similar appearance to Zu Ti, but more powerful appearance. He responded and then took out all kinds of things from the leather hanging on the left side of the saddle. In fact, why bother with this? Everyone present would not doubt Zu Ti's identity, but they didn't expect that the new governor of Youzhou would come so quickly.

Since Wang Pengzu died suddenly, the situation in Youzhou seemed to be unrest, but in fact, there had been a turbulent tide under the water. The Hu tribes of various tribes, local tyrants, and even those with the palm powers in the Youzhou shogunate all wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of Youzhou's unownership to gain more benefits. Countless forces rose up at the same time, but instead restrained each other, and for a while it became entangled into a mess, and no one could move.

However, no one was anxious about this, and there was still plenty of time. The Jin Dynasty was never known for its decisive and brisk behavior. Although it may not be like the emperor personally sold official positions and titles at the end of the Han Dynasty, so that the chief officials of the prefectures and counties were hung in vain for many years, it is an indisputable fact that he responded to the changes in the border prefectures and counties slowly.

According to the usual estimates, the news that Wang Pengzu killed by the Jinyang army would be spread to the Luoyang court and the Donghai King's shogunate stationed in Xuchang. After the necessary verification procedures, it would take at least ten days. Then, the two places would communicate with each other for official documents and negotiate to formulate a new candidate for the governor of Youzhou. Based on the rhythm of the central group of romantic celebrities, this process would take two months in a short time; if the court and Donghai King disagree, it might be delayed longer. Then, it is still unknown whether the person selected by the court would be willing to go to the muddy waters of Youzhou. This person either bowed several times as usual or insisted on not taking office, which would take a lot of time.

Finally, it has to be considered that it is not so easy for the new governor to arrive in Youzhou. Na Shile led his troops south, and successively thieves such as Wang Mi and Cao Li, which caused war to fall from east of Xuchang to the hinterland of the Central Plains from the sea. Jizhou was originally a war zone, and the wandering bandits plundered everywhere, which made Ding Shao feel very troubled. If the new governor wants to arrive in Youzhou safely, he may have to recruit militias and engage in it carefully. In this way, the time for taking office may have to be scheduled to next summer. Isn’t such a long time enough for the various forces in Youzhou to re-dividate their interests?

But what I never expected was that the center, which had always been slow to act, suddenly changed its temperament this time, and the rapid lightning was like lightning. It was only a month and a half after the death of Wang Pengzu, the new governor had already arrived in the outskirts of Ji County. This governor was actually an outstanding figure in the Fan Yang Zu family, who knew the northern border well!

Gongsun Wuxian's face was already pale. Thinking of the powerful methods of Zushi Zhishi when he was in the village, he suddenly felt that his bile was rising and his face almost shone green.

This time he came to threaten Qi Hong to come out of the mountain, and the people he called were not all the members of his tribe. Gongsun's relatives and allies sent their own children to command private soldiers in Yan State, Fanyang and other places, and also participated. Although these wealthy families were not enough to dominate the situation in Youzhou, their children were all deeply aware of the situation. When they saw the new governor, who didn't understand that the previous little plots were all gone? The exclamation stopped, and many people dismounted and bowed respectfully, and their foreheads almost touched the ground.

Compared with the Gongsun family, the dozens of cavalry under Lu Yao's troops were a little abrupt.

Most of these warriors were recruited by Lu Yao from refugees and surrendered enemies. With his bloody battle with Hu Er, he was selected as the entourage of General Yingyang. Compared with the private soldiers of ordinary families, they were more cruel, more fierce, and more wild; they only had the invincible commander Lu Yao, but they had almost no awe of the court.

Although these grassroots soldiers were not aware of Lu Yao's conspiracy with Shao Xu and others, after Ruyuan defeated the Youzhou army, the generals' attitude towards Youzhou's ambition to win had deeply influenced them. Therefore, when Zu Ti revealed his identity and easily suppressed Gongsun Wuxian and his subordinates, the entourage knights under Lu Yao felt extremely angry, as if they were despised and deceived by the court by the King of Donghai.

Among them, the most intense attitude was Pang Yuan. The former horse thief leader sneered repeatedly and rode his horse to Lu Yao a few steps closer: "General, I have a plan."

His solemn expression seemed a little funny, which made Lu Yao feel ridiculous: "... Let's talk, what's the plan?"

Pang Yuan's next speech immediately made Lu Yao laugh: "The general left as soon as possible, only twenty cavalry must be left. These people do not know our identities and just do the work of Nie Zheng. While they were unprepared, Lao Ma and I led the brothers forward and immediately killed Zu. Afterwards, as long as it was said that it was done by the thief, no one would suspect that Dai County would not be able to."

"Okay!" As soon as Pang Yuan finished speaking, Ma Rui's cheers sounded at the same time.

These two guys are loyal, but they are too determined... At first glance, even Lu Yao, who had always been deep, twitched a few times. Then, he shouted loudly: "Don't talk nonsense, you guys! Get off!"

"General!" Although he was scolded by Lu Yao, Pang Yuan did not look much worried. Instead, he raised his head stubbornly and looked at Lu Yao eagerly.

"Get back! Don't be confused!" Lu Yao looked at the entourage knights around him who were also eager to look at him, and slowed down slightly: "I have my own plans, don't think too much when I wait."

In order to gain Youzhou, Dai County has put in a lot of plans and efforts, and no one knows better than Lu Yao. Therefore, Lu Yao is more surprised at the arrival of the new Youzhou Governor. He understands very well that Zu Ti is the governor of Youzhou, not only means that Dai County's plans have failed for several months, but also shows that the Jingling County Lord is likely to have a change, and his only aid in the center has been shaken.

Who is Zuti? He is one of the few high-ranking sects in Youzhou, a descendant of the Fanyang Zu clan. He has strong potential in Youzhou and is one of the important subordinates personally promoted by the King of Donghai. As early as the first year of Yongxing, he was appointed as a military officer and joined the army and was the prefect of Jiyin. If he had not been mourned for three years due to his mother's death, he would have become a senior member of the ranks.

In Lu Yao's memory of his previous life, Zu Shi Zhi became even more famous. At the critical moment when the Hu tribe invaded and the mountains of Jin were disintegrated, he attacked the rivers and marched to the north, almost with one person's power to suppress the surging Hu tribe, and finally defeated half of the nine states. Such figures were viewed in the thousands of years of rise and fall of China, and were also first-class figures. There is no doubt that such heroic men who left Youzhou would definitely have a great obstacle to Lu Yao's plan. At that moment, he even thought that since the court did not give, why would he use Pang Yuan's strategy to act, and then quickly raise his troops to take him?

But Lu Yao's calm speed was far faster than everyone else. He immediately drove this absurd thought out: It was not the time when the center broke with him, nor was it the time when he and the center turned against each other.

When Lu Yao was planning, Zu Ti had already sent someone to show the seal letter and edict, which fully proved his identity. He was smiling and greeting Gongsun Wuxian. This humble attitude immediately made the members of the Gongsun family relax a lot. He bowed and bowed to Qi Hong, then turned his head and looked at Lu Yao and his group.

"I don't know how many people here are..." Those who have experienced the battlefield can see that Lu Yao and his party have many bears. Although the number is the smallest among the three parties, their strength is not weak at all. Zu Ti conquered the Gongsun clan and immediately turned back to deal with Lu Yao and others.

"General, it may be embarrassing to meet Zu Ti at this time. General might as well leave first, and Mianzhi stay here to deal with it." Fang Mianzhi whispered.

Fang Mianzhi said it right. As General Yingyang and the prefect of the county, Lu Yao left the defense area without any intention of visiting Youzhou, but was pretended to be a regular person by the new Youzhou governor... This situation is indeed a bit embarrassing. But Lu Yao did not feel that he had to retreat.

About a year ago, Lu Yao met Liu Kun and Liu Yueshi in the Xuanshi County in the southern part of Shangdang, and was almost completely intimidated by Liu Yueshi's majesty. But at this moment, Lu Yao suddenly met Zu Shi, who was far more famous than Liu Yueshi in later generations, but Lu Yao no longer had any special emotions. In this year, even if he had a name in the history books, he had killed more than one person even if he was killed. Lu Yao had no intention of looking up to anyone anymore, and would never easily allow anyone to gain the upper hand.

Lu Yao ignored Fang Mianzhi, but instead changed his mind and continued to think:

Zu Ti? The governor of Youzhou? Since he sent this person to Youzhou, it shows that the central government still has a long-term planner who intends to curb the unlimited expansion of local power factions. The sound of the iron hoofs on the Youzhou army's ears of the iron hoofs on the ground was still echoing in his ears, and the Dai County Army had already defeated him with neatness. Such military power is indeed doubtful. However, since he has such a powerful military advantage, how can the central government suppress it? How dare he suppress it? Whether in Luoyang or Xuchang, who is willing to bear the consequences of a ferocious relationship with Dai County?

Zu Ti? The governor of Youzhou? What a scary person, what a scary official! But I really don’t believe it, the court only appointed Zu Ti as the governor of Youzhou... Lu Yao laughed softly and rode his horse out: "I have no choice but to ask, Lu Daoming, Wujun, is here."

"Ha! Ha!" No one expected that when he heard Lu Yao's identity report, Zu Ti clapped his hands repeatedly and said happily: "It turns out that you are General Yingyang! That's great! That's great!"

Although the famous scholars in Luoyang now advocate the unrestrained and unconventional etiquette, Zu Ti just told others that they were so happy and shouted as the governor. He was so indulgent and had a unique unruly spirit of Renxiao. He could not let Lu Yao answer, and he kept shouting: "Shi Shao! Shi Shao! Open the skin on the right side of the saddle... Yes, that's that! There is an edict and seal to General Lu, and take it out quickly!"

The powerful knight named Shi Shao hurriedly opened the other side of the bag as he said, and indeed brought out a bunch of things.

The knight walked halfway with something in his arms. Lu Yao raised his chin and signaled that Ma Rui immediately met and took the things over.

"General Lu, please see! Please see!" Zu Ti continued: "I don't know how to quickly deliver the imperial order to Dai County. It's great that General Lu can come here!"

Ma Rui returned to Lu Yao and presented many items with both hands.

Lu Yao took the edict from it. It was obvious that it was a formal edict from the Luoyang court, not a board-governed document commonly used by the King of Donghai. He took a habitual breath, then breathed deeply, and unfolded the edict.

There are only a few lines of words on the edict: "General Yingyang Lu Yao was appointed as Fang Yu, Funing the battlefield, recuperating common policies within and curbing the Hu people outside, and having the achievements of Suiyu. He was also generous and determined to make contributions. He was a long halberd and built a desert, and started his army first, and had the significance of being accused of the military. He was the general of Pingbei and the general of Youzhou. He added red banners and curved covers, and promoted the prefectures of the county as before."
