The next morning.
Chen Mu led Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and the 500-strong vanguard towards Bing Province.
When the sun rose, someone went to visit the mansion. The Northguard Mansion had become an empty house.
In the royal palace, in the study room.
Zhang Rang hurried into the study and said respectfully," Your Majesty, the Northguard Marquis has left!"
Liu Hong put away the bloody battle report on the table and said indifferently,""Seal the Northguard Prefecture and send someone to clean it up every day. He will definitely come back to marry Princess Hanyang within two years!”
"Here!" Zhang Rang said respectfully.
" Your Majesty," Zhao Zhong said with an ugly expression," are you overestimating Chen Mu? You're making the officials unhappy!"”
"If they can kill Tan Shihuai, Ke Bi will be able to avenge the shame of the expedition back then!”
"I will also reward them in the same way. A group of people who only know how to slander others. They have no achievements but only want to obtain things that are difficult to reach!”
"This world is mine. I can give whatever I want and take back whatever I want. Father has drafted an edict to promote Yuan Kui to the position of Grand Tutor to teach Bian 'er and Xie' er's knowledge.”Liu Hong said indifferently.
"Here!"
Zhang Rang said respectfully.
"Zhao Zhong, ever since you became a constant attendant, I have treated you well. If I find out that the failure of the expedition back then was related to you, then you can wait for death!”Liu Hong's words were filled with murderous intent.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. This servant wouldn't dare!" Zhao Zhong hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged.
"You may leave!"
Liu Hong's eyes were cold as he said indifferently.
"Here!"
Zhao Zhong slowly left the study room.
It borders Bingzhou.
Luoyang was located in the center of Henan Province, the hinterland of the thirteen states of the Great Han Dynasty.
Chen Mu led his army and charged out of Henan Magistrate in three days. He entered the boundary of Hanoi and rested for two days before continuing toward Bingzhou.?
The internal affairs of Bingzhou were in chaos, and there were not many soldiers left to guard the border. It was even more difficult for him to come out of seclusion to attack the foreign tribes.
Moreover, next year would be the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
When the Great Han army was defeated, Liu Hong would definitely transfer him out of Bingzhou to suppress the Yellow Turban.
Ten days.
Chen Mu led his army into Shangdang and ordered Lu Bu to lead 200 troops to Wuyuan to exterminate the Wang family.
If he wanted to develop Bing Province, he could use war coins to buy food from the system store. However, it was not a long-term solution. If he really wanted to develop the internal affairs of Bing Province, he had to start with the people's own foundation.
In Bingzhou, those corrupt officials, gentry, and despots must die.
He came from a later generation and had his own set of views on the development of internal affairs. He would definitely be able to convince the people of this era.
He wanted to start a war, a war between the people.
As long as he could convince the people, the gentry and despots of Bingzhou would be paper tigers. In the sea of people's war, even an impregnable fortress could be defeated!
Mid-September.
Chen Mu entered Yanmen Yin Mansion, which was also the current state of Bingzhou.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, the provincial governor had already become an empty position. The local prefects held great power, and the provincial governor only had the power to supervise.
In front of the gates of the Yin Mansion.
The former governor, Zhang Yi, led the officials of the governor's office and the nine governors of Bing Province into the city with a nervous expression.
Now, the Yin Mansion of Bingzhou was extremely miserable. There were less than one out of ten people left. They did not have enough food to eat, and they did not have enough clothes to cover their bodies. They also had to resist the plunder of the Wuhuan and the Southern Xiongnu. It was extremely miserable.
Chen Mu turned to look at Zhang Yi and said in a deep voice,""How many people are there in Bingzhou?"
"120,000 in Shangdang, 200,000 in Taiyuan, 20,000 in Shangjun, 20,000 in Xihe, 15,000 in Wuyuan, 10,000 in Yunzhong, 8,000 in Dingxiang, 90,000 in Yanmen, and 5,000 in Shuofang.”Zhang Yi said respectfully.
"Pa!"
Chen Mu stopped in his tracks." There are two hundred thousand people in Taiyuan. Why did you set up the Provincial Governor's Office in Yanmen?" he asked.”
Zhang Yi replied neither obsequiously nor arrogantly," Because Yanmen is the gateway of Bingzhou, the gateway of the Great Han. Zhang Yi is not talented, but he is willing to live and die with the people of Bingzhou!”
"Who is Wang Zhi?"
Chen Mu's gaze was cold and stern as he swept his gaze across the officials behind Zhang Yi.?
Suddenly, a thin middle-aged man with a goatee stood out from behind Zhang Yi and said in a deep voice,"I am Wang Zhi. I wonder if Northguard Marquis has something to ask?”
A hint of hostility flashed across Chen Mu's eyes as he said coldly,""Zhang Liao, capture him and interrogate him about what happened after the expedition!”
"Here!"
Zhang Liao waved his hand, and two of the vanguard soldiers held down their sabers and captured Wang Zhi.
"Chen Mu, what are you trying to do?!" Wang Zhi's face turned red.”
"Northguard Marquis!"
The faces of the other eight county mayors instantly turned extremely pale.
The nine county mayors had come to welcome Chen Mu, the Northguard Marquis, but Chen Mu had suddenly attacked Wang Zhi, catching them off guard!
"The prefects of the nine counties are temporarily staying in the Yin Mansion. After I investigate, those who are not guilty will naturally be released. However, if you are people who have been killed and harmed the people, I will definitely kill you. Zhang Yi will stay in Bingzhou and I will write a letter to the court!”Chen Mu said coldly.
"Here!"
Zhang Yi and a group of unsightly mayors replied.
