Chapter 822 (1/2)
”Move quickly and slowly. What if the Xiliang army comes up?”
Zhang Ren stood on the top of the city and urged him. The Yizhou soldiers and the people who were temporarily recruited were repairing the city walls to prepare for the attack of the Xiliang army.
After discussing with Huang Quan, Zhang Ren and Huang Quan recruited a large number of young men from the city, including tens of thousands of them. They also distributed weapons and armor. If they wanted these people to go out of the city to fight with the Xiliang army, they wanted to die, but they could also be used to defend the city.
The Yizhou soldiers on the top of the city and many people were busy preparing for the defense of the city, while Zhang Ren personally supervised it.
At this time, a bodyguard rushed to the top of the city, ran to Zhang Ren, arched his hands and said, ”Dadu governor, please come into the mansion. The Lord has important things to talk with governor Dadu.”
”What's the matter, Lord?” Zhang Ren asked.
”The Lord hasn't told the villain, please go quickly.”
After listening to him, Zhang Ren nodded and found Huang Quan.
”Don't drive, my Lord. I have something to do. You should supervise the repair of the city wall.”
After Huang Quan agreed to come down, Zhang Ren followed the bodyguard and walked in the direction of the governor's office without saying a word.
”I've met governor Dudu.”
Along the way, when people in the governor's office saw Zhang Ren, they naturally said hello. Zhang Ren just nodded and didn't say anything. In front of him, the bodyguard who led the way was sweating on his forehead. Fortunately, Zhang Ren didn't see it. Otherwise, he would ask.
The two men walked into the governor's office one after another. Liu Zhang, who was a needle felt in the hall, rubbed his hands when he saw Zhang Ren. He laughed and said, ”the governor is here. Please sit down.”
Zhang Ren bowed his hand to Liu Zhang, said thanks to the Lord, and then sat down.
”May I ask the Lord, what is the matter of calling me here?”
When Zhang opened his mouth, Liu Zhang said with a smile: ”nothing else. The governor of Dadu has been leading the army for several days. His body is stained with dust, and he is quite tired. Therefore, a special banquet is held for the governor to receive the wind and dust.”
Zhang Ren frowned: ”thank you for your kindness. The last general has taken it. The Xiliang army will soon launch an attack on the city. The last general will go to the city to arrange for it.”
”Ah? This... ”
seeing that Zhang Ren was about to leave, Liu Zhang didn't know what reason to detain him. For a moment, he was like an ant on a hot pot and didn't know what to say.
Liu Xun, who was behind Liu Zhang, couldn't sit still. He yelled, ”Zhang Ren, stop!”
Zhang Ren stopped, turned to look at Liu Xun, frowned: ”the city's military affairs are urgent, this governor needs to go to deal with it, don't know what's the matter with the eldest son?”
”Hum! You are just the governor of the army. My father is the governor of Yizhou. Do you dare to put my father in the eye? It's disgusting. ”
Liu Xun cried out: ”swordsman, cut this guy for me!”
”Here it is
The two curtain doors were suddenly opened, and a series of disordered footfalls sounded. Dozens of heavy armour swordsmen rushed out from behind the banquet and directly surrounded Zhang Ren.
Liu Xun didn't like Zhang Ren for a long time. In his opinion, Zhang Ren was an outsider. How could he take charge of Yizhou's military power? Liu Xun is the eldest son of the governor, so he should control the military power.
