Zhang Yan cupped her fists and reported anxiously.
Liu Ji pondered for a moment and sighed."No!"
"Mr. Bowen, why not?"
"General Zhang Yan, this plan is too dangerous. If Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang counterattack, the Black Mountain Army will suffer heavy casualties.”
"Mister, you are worrying too much. If I pretended to surrender, how would Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang know?”
"Lord, Zhang Yan has just submitted to you and has not made any contributions. Please allow me to go and pretend to surrender!”
Hearing this, Zhao Feng seemed to have thought of something.
He looked at Zhang Yan and said in a deep voice,"Alright, but remember not to underestimate the enemy."”
"Yes!"
Zhang Yan was overjoyed and left with big strides.
This time, he would return to the Black Mountain Army and gather his troops to pretend to surrender to Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang.
Looking at Zhang Yan's departing figure, Liu Ji cupped his hands and bowed.""My lord!"
Zhao Feng picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Bowen, are you worried that Zhang Yan will lead the Black Mountain Army, Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang, and the other Yellow Turbans to work together from the inside and outside to win me over?”
Liu Ji was startled and hurriedly reported,""My lord, you must be wary of others.”
Zhao Feng laughed.
"Zhang Yan is definitely not such a person.”
He stood up and looked outside the hall.
"Jinyiwei, where are you?"
"Your subordinate is here!"
"Send people down to Qu Yang to gather information!”
"Yes!"
The Embroidered Uniform Guards responded and quickly left.
Zhao Feng ordered Liu Ji, Zhao Yun, and the others to rest for a day and follow him to Quyang tomorrow!
Ta!
A soldier walked in quickly.
"General, the imperial court has sent an angel.”
"Angel? Please!"
Slightly startled, Zhao Feng stood up.
He strode out of the door.
Hundreds of Royal Guards came to the door.
An old man came out of a sedan chair.
"General Bei Zhong, I am the Great Han's Zong Zheng, Liu Yan!”
"Liu Yan?"
Zhao Feng was stunned. So it was him?
This Zong Zheng Liu Yan was a relative of the Han clan.
He was also the one who proposed to abolish the provincial governor and establish a state shepherd.
Zhao Feng took a few steps forward and said neither haughtily nor humbly,""So it's Lord Zong Zheng, please!"
Liu Yan smiled and immediately ordered the royal guards to stand outside the residence.
He and Zhao Feng arrived at the mansion.
In the meeting hall.
The two of them sat separately.
Liu Yan smiled." I'm here on His Majesty's orders to greet General Beizhong. How about the Yellow Turbans of Jizhou?"”
Zhao Feng sipped his tea and looked at Liu Ji.
Liu Ji immediately told Liu Yan about the situation in Jizhou.
Liu Yan's expression changed slightly." Are there still Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang in Quyang?" he asked.”
"That's right."
"The Yellow Turban Rebellion caused the people of the Great Han Dynasty to be in dire straits.”
Zhao Feng smiled slightly, already understanding the meaning behind Liu Yan's words.
Ta!
Suddenly, a soldier quickly arrived.
"Reporting to General, the Governor of Julu Prefecture, Guo Dian, did not listen to General's orders and attacked Qu Yang. He was killed by Zhang Liang!”
"Zhang Liang occupies Julu Prefecture and forms a horn with Zhang Bao's Lower Melody Sun.”
Zhao Feng's eyes darkened.
He was the governor of Jizhou and had told Guo Dian not to underestimate the enemy.
Who knew that Guo Dian was killed by Zhang Liang in order to steal the credit.
Now, Julu County had fallen into the hands of the Yellow Turban.
Liu Yan's expression changed slightly and he hurriedly asked,""General Zhao Feng, why is this?"
" Zong Zheng," Liu Ji reported to Liu Yan," although my lord is now the governor of Jizhou, the counties within Jizhou are all independent. This was the drawback of the Yellow Turban chaotic man.”
"Weakness?"
Liu Yan looked at Liu Ji in surprise.
"When the Yellow Turban rebels rebelled, the county governors of the various counties fought for themselves, which allowed the Yellow Turban to capture the city. The provincial governors couldn't lead the counties, so there was no coordination.”
"For example, Guo Dian of Julu Prefecture. The lord ordered him not to act rashly, but he insisted on going. That's why he lost today.”
When Liu Yan heard this, his heart trembled.
"Is there a way to break it?" he asked after a moment of silence.”
He could tell that Liu Ji was a strategist under Zhao Feng.
Liu Ji thought for a moment and did not answer.
Zhao Feng thought to himself. Could it be that Liu Yan had learned from him how to abolish a provincial governor and establish a governor?
Seeing Liu Yan's furrowed brows, Zhao Feng had an idea.
He could use Liu Yan to consolidate his position in Jizhou.
Immediately, he sipped his tea and smiled."Zong Zheng, the provincial governor doesn't have the military and political power of a state, which is why the Yellow Turbans are able to wreak havoc.”
"Now, why don't we establish a new Prefecture Overseer and take over the military and political power of a prefecture. The county governors would listen to the Prefecture Overseers, and the Prefecture Overseers would listen to the Imperial Court. This way, they could coordinate.”
"Breaking the Yellow Turban is just around the corner!"
Liu Yan pondered for a while.
He looked at Zhao Feng and asked in a deep voice,"General of the North, do you want to abolish the provincial governor and appoint a governor?"”
Zhao Feng sipped his tea and smiled faintly.
"I'm afraid that I'm not the only one who thinks about it. Zong Zheng also has his own thoughts, right?”
Liu Yan was startled when he heard this and thought, How did Zhao Feng guess what I was thinking?”
He laughed." The one who knows me is General Bei Zhonglang. When I'm done with my business, I'll return to the court and inform Your Majesty."”
"May I know why Zong Zheng is here?”
Liu Yan pondered for a moment and frowned.
"This matter is extremely important, and it might even shake the foundation of the Great Han Dynasty!”
"Shaking the foundation of the Great Han Dynasty?"
Zhao Feng's eyes darkened as if he had thought of something.
"Since that's the case, Zong Zheng is in Jizhou, and the Yellow Turbans have occupied Julu. There's no time to lose, I have to rush to Julu.”
