There are six prefectures and twenty-one counties in Dongqing, and the territory spans the north and south. This has also led to the fact that although Hu County, Zhejiang County, and Hu County are counties, their areas are not small, and Hu County is comparable to the smallest state in Dongqing. In addition to these three special counties, such as Hejian County, Langya County and Huanne County are also independent counties.
However, the area of the latter three is quite satisfactory, except that they have special military positions, they are no different from ordinary counties.
Langya County was already under the rule of Huang Song, and Huanne County was located in the south, and previously obeyed Xu Pei.
Since Jiang Pengji killed Xu Pei, although she did not use strong troops against Huanni County, the local gentry were very knowledgeable and did not dare to make trouble. It is useless for them to make trouble. Huanne County is attached to high mountains and mountains. Although it is a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, its own grain output is not much. Jiang Pengji sent troops to strangle all the grain and commercial roads in Huanne County. Hundreds of thousands of people starved to death.
Aristocratic families in Huanni County gathered, and they saw that Jiang Pengji was really not easy to mess with, but they didn't commit crimes against the wind and be tough with her, instead they chose to be soft.
Among the three counties, only Hejian County is still "unowned".
It's not that Hejian County doesn't want to take refuge with any prince, it's just because the terrain of Hejian County is a little awkward.
It is located in the pulse arteries of Maruzhou, Haozhou and Cangzhou, and has an important position that can be attacked and defended.
Before the spring ploughing, neither Jiang Pengji nor Huang Song dared to move troops first in Hejian County.
Once the army is launched, it will be a war. If the spring ploughing is destroyed, it will not only damage the interests of the two princes, but also the people under their rule.
A war can be fought at any time, but the people only farm once, and if they miss the opportunity, they will endure starvation for a whole year.
In addition, Hejian County has another significance for Jiang Pengji.
The Liu family's clansmen are all in Hejian County!
The bad news Jiang Pengji received was nothing else. It was Hejian County that was raided by Huang Song's army and quietly changed hands in the middle of the night.
When this bad news reached Jiang Pengji's ears, she was rejoicing at the progress of the spinning wheel and cotton, as if someone had poured cold water on her.
People who are familiar with Jiang Pengji are a little afraid to look at her at this time.
"Why did Hejian County fall?"
After the battle of Xu Pei ended, Jiang Pengji and Huang Song tacitly dispatched troops to guard the northern and southern borders of Hejian County, and neither allowed the other, and the two maintained a delicate balance. No one dared to act first, so they could only dispatch many scouts to inquire about the enemy's situation, and be sure to control the military situation as soon as possible.
In this case, Jiang Pengji didn't know what the guard was doing.
Huang Song had sent troops to eat the entire Hejian County, and the defender only reacted slowly, the day lily was cold!
If she doesn't give her a convincing enough reason, she will definitely punish the general's sin.
Don't look at Jiang Pengji who gets along very well on weekdays, but once he gets angry, how can the power of a messenger soldier be able to withstand it
Without further ado, he shook out all the clues in the future.
At the end of the speech, the messenger soldier tremblingly knelt down and pleaded guilty, and the atmosphere at the scene was extremely solemn.
Qi Guanrang, Wei Ci and the others quietly glanced at their lord from the corner of their eyes.
They were already mentally prepared for their lord to flip the table, curse people, and greet Huang Song's ancestors.
No matter how rude they are, they can suppress this matter.
Guess Jiang Pengji's self-restraint is very good, except that his face is a little gloomy and he is not overly emotional.
"What a Hejian Zhang-" Jiang Pengji smiled coldly, her eyes flashing with murderous intent, "It was really cheap for them back then."
The main reason for the fall of Hejian County was that Zhang clan of Hejian County took the lead in responding to the lobbying of talents under Huang Song's tent, and secretly colluded with several gentry to control the situation in the county. Later, in the middle of the night on March 24, they cooperated with Huang Song's garrison inside and outside, taking down Hejian Liu clan, Shangguan clan and other gentry who were friendly to Jiang Pengji's forces, while welcoming Huang Song's army into the city, and in less than midnight they ordered Hejian County. change owner.
When everyone heard Jiang Pengji say this, they were stunned for a moment.
Others haven't reacted yet, but Li Yun thinks Hejian Zhang is very familiar.
Thinking about it carefully, his mind flashed, and he finally thought of when he would become revenge.
"This Zhang family... seems to sound familiar. Could it be the Zhang family who forced Zhuojing to be a widow and nearly killed her?" Li Yun remembered that this Zhang family was the ex-husband's family of his wife Shangguanwan. After that, could it be that they still hold grudges to this day? Huang Song knew about this, so he took this as a breakthrough and sent people to lobby Zhang to defect? It is not unreasonable to think so."
As soon as Li Yun opened his mouth, everyone focused on him again.
After what he said, many people also had some memories, and followed the clues to dig out this old story.
"Mostly because of this." Jiang Pengji secretly pouted and laughed angrily, "This clan should have been killed back then!"
Qi Guanrang and Wei Ci coughed tacitly, reminding Jiang Pengji to pay attention to his words and deeds, and not to be so violent.
If you don't move, you will be turned into a ghost by the enemy navy if you say it out!
No matter what the situation was back then, it was an indisputable fact that Jiang Pengji took in Zhang's escaped young lady, and then she gave the young lady Shangguan Wan and Li Yun, the general under the account, the media. Looking at Mr. Zhang, this green hat is so green, the grassland on his head can run horses!
Although there is no iron proof that Jiang Pengji stole Shangguanwan in Zhang's hands, it is known to the whole world that Shangguanwan remarried Li Yun.
From this standpoint, the Zhang family and Jiang Pengji have a natural opposing position.
Instead of watching Hejian County fall into Jiang Pengji's hands and lingering under her tyranny in the future, it is better to support Huang Song.
There's nothing wrong with this logic.
"Even so, if no one is secretly planning to promote it, Zhang's presumably can't be so thorough."
Yang Siwang looked at Li Yun with a bit of pity in his eyes.
Sure enough, it's better to be single.
Shangguanwan was also a victim, but if Li Yun met an unreasonable protagonist, 80% of the time he would be angered.
Jiang Pengji asked the messenger.
"Do you know who the lobbyist is?"
The messenger said, "According to the spy's report, that is a counselor surnamed Cheng under Huang Song's tent."
According to the information from the spies, before the fall of Hejian County, there was indeed a man dressed in ordinary but good-looking who came in and out of Zhang Mansion.
Procedure
Huang Song is the only one with the surname Cheng, right
Everyone tacitly turned the corner of the light on Cheng Yuan.
Cheng Yuan's father Cheng Cheng is Cheng Jing's nephew, and Cheng Yuan is Cheng Jing's grand-nephew.
The age difference is not big, but the seniority is quite impressive.
Jiang Pengji said contemptuously, "If it's Youmo, it's not unusual. Zhang's family is still half-dead after being involved for many years, and his brain is not very good, so he is very confused."
This grievance can only be regarded as a catalyst. The person Huang Song sent in the past, said Ke Chengjing, is the top priority.
Because of Cheng Jing's lobbying, Zhang's heart, which had no ACD number, became more and more inflated, and he looked too high on himself.
