The amount of money Chen Xiao had spent on this trip to the capital was enough to bankrupt some aristocratic families with insufficient foundations.
However, the higher the cost, the higher the return.
The set goals had been successfully completed!
Therefore, when they left the capital city, the morale of the entire team was extremely high. For those servants of the Zhen family, the rapid development of the Zhen family was foreseeable after their young master became the new Overseer of Youzhou Province.
With the rapid development of the Zhen family, they naturally followed suit.
Perhaps he could even be a minor official in the Prefecture Overseer's Estate in the future.
The only thing that worried them was that the leader of the guards, Shi Ah, was not around.
Not only was Commander Shi absent, even the peerless Grandmaster that Young Master had just recruited, Commander Shi's master, Wang Yue, wasn't in the team.
He even took away many guards.
With the addition of dozens of destitute scholars and their families, only Zhang He and a hundred cavalrymen were left to escort the hundreds of people.
His sense of security was greatly reduced.
Compared to Zhang He, the Zhen family trusted Shi Ah more.
Even though Zhang He had already displayed his powerful martial strength on the way here, he was still a little worried.
Because of this, along the way, many people had a question in their hearts.
"Commander Shi…where did he go?"
…………
Of course, Shi Ah had a mission.
After he left the capital, he took thirty guards and parted ways with Chen Xiao, turning north.
The thirty-one cavalry crossed the Yellow River and entered Hanoi County.
Ding Yuan was here now.
Last year, Xiu Tu launched a rebellion and attacked Bingzhou. He killed the governor of Xihe, Xing Ji, and later killed the former governor of Bingzhou, Zhang Yi.
The court appointed Ding Yuan as the governor of Bingzhou.
The goal was to quell the rebellion.
Ding Yuan had no men or soldiers under him. If he were to go and suppress the rebellion, wouldn't he be sending the Hu to their deaths?
This person was not a reckless person. After he became the governor of Bingzhou, he did not enter the territory of Bingzhou. Instead, he stationed his troops in Hanoi, recruited soldiers, and reorganized his armaments.
During this period, he discovered two talents.
One was called Lu Bu, and the other was called Zhang Liao.
They're all from Bingzhou.
Especially that Lu Bu, he was really brave. At such a young age, he had already reached the realm of a first-rate general. Ding Yuan had never seen such a high level of martial arts in his life!
Although Zhang Liao was young, he was proficient in battle formations. With a little training, he would become a generation of generals!
Ding Yuan immediately planned to put these two people in an important position!
"With these two people here, it will be easy to pacify the chaos in Bing Province!”
Ding Yuan had said this to the people around him more than once.
Unexpectedly, a few days after he said that, the imperial court issued an edict. The Emperor felt that the world was in chaos and planned to expand the capital's military strength. He ordered officials from all over the country to recruit warriors and head to the capital.
Ding Yuan was helpless.
However, he did not dare to go against the Imperial Court.
He thought about it again and again. It was good to send someone to the capital to be gilded. After all, they were his people.
He couldn't bear to part with Lu Bu, so he was prepared to send Zhang Liao to the capital. At the same time, he was worried that if Zhang Liao made a fortune, he would be ungrateful, so he asked Wu Meng to send Zhang Yang as well.
Zhang Yang was his direct descendant.
With that, the candidates to enter the capital were decided.
But what Ding Yuan did not expect was that before Zhang Liao and the others had set off, another imperial court envoy had arrived outside the Provincial Governor's Office!
" The imperial court isn't up to something again, is it…"
Ding Yuan, who felt a wave of disgust in his heart, didn't dare to be negligent on the surface and hurriedly led her into the residence.
What surprised him was that it was not a eunuch.
But…a Ranger?
"I'm Shi Ah. Greetings, Provincial Governor Ding!”
Shia, who was dressed like a ranger, smiled and bowed with his sword.
Ding Yuan remained calm, but his gaze was a little gloomy."You said that you are the imperial court's envoy? I've been an official for decades, but I've never heard of the imperial court sending a paladin to pass down an edict!”
He was doubting Shi Ah's identity.
"With the imperial court's edict here, Provincial Governor Ding can check!”
Shi Ah took out a transfer order and handed it over calmly.
The transfer order could not be faked. Although it was from Zhang Rang, it had the seal of the Minister's Office on it.
Other than that, there was even Zhang Rang's private seal.
Ding Yuan opened it and took a closer look. He quickly confirmed that it was not fake.
However, it was precisely because of this that he was dumbfounded."The Imperial Court wants to transfer Zhang Liao to serve under the Mu of Youzhou? And who was this Gao Shun? Lu Bu's subordinates? Why have I never heard of it?"
The Imperial Court was playing around.
One moment, he had to recruit warriors to the capital, and the next moment, he had to transfer warriors to Youzhou.
Was there any difference between serving under the Mu of Youzhou Province and serving under him?
Besides, was Zhang Liao that famous?
They hadn't even gone to the capital, and the Imperial Court already knew?
This transfer order had Zhang Rang's private seal on it. Could it be that Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan were actually related to Zhang Ran, the head of the Ten Attendants?!
Ding Yuan's heart was filled with doubts. He couldn't help but look at Shi Ah."His Majesty has changed the provincial governor to the Prefecture Overseer in the end. The military and political power of a prefecture is in the hands of one person…May I ask if the new Prefecture Overseer is Zong Zheng Bo An Gong?”
Duke Bo 'an was naturally Liu Yu.
Ding Yuan came from a humble background and was extremely respectful towards Liu Yu, who was a famous Han clan relative.
Therefore, he asked subconsciously.
However, what he didn't expect was that Shi Ah shook his head with a smile.""No! The new Youzhou Prefecture Overseer is my master, Chen Xiao, from the Zhen Clan of Wuji!”
"Wuji Zhen Clan? Surnamed Chen?"
"So you're the new Youzhou Prefecture Overseer's subordinate?" Ding Yuaner was dumbfounded.”
Who was this person?
I've never heard of it!
The imperial court had actually given up on Liu Yu and appointed a person whom they had never heard of to take up such an important position as the Overseer of Youzhou?!
Ding Yuan felt that his worldview had been impacted!
"That's right! My lord was ordered to quell the rebellion and felt that he had no generals under him, so he requested the Imperial Court to transfer Zhang Liao and Gao Shun under Provincial Governor Ding to Youzhou!”
Shi Ah nodded and took out a silk book.""My lord knows that Provincial Governor Ding is reluctant to part with talents, so he specially prepared a small gift to express his sincerity!”
So it was the idea of the new governor of Youzhou.
Could it be that Zhang Liao's relationship wasn't with Zhang Rang, but with Chen Xiao?
Knowing this, a trace of anger immediately rose in Ding Yuan's heart. It was targeted at both Chen Xiao and Zhang Liao.
No matter who that Chen Xiao was, to use the power of the imperial court to blatantly snatch people from his side, did she still have any official rules?
This was simply too much!
And Zhang Liao, who clearly had such a background, had never told him about it!
"This old man wants to see just who Chen Youzhou is to be entrusted with such an important task by His Majesty!”
Ding Yuan snorted and took the silk book from Shi Ah.
He casually opened it.
The next moment, his expression froze.
