Chapter 429

Time goes by, two days are fleeting.

On this day, Hu Zhao left Yubo pool, said goodbye to the past life of idle clouds and wild cranes, dressed in green clothes and went to Huai county. Although Hu Zhao was on his way in a carriage, Shi a personally protected Hu Zhao to ensure his safety.

Arriving in huaixian County, Hu Zhao went straight into the barracks.

After Hu Zhaoyi arrived, Zhang Xiu immediately arranged for someone to inform Shi Zhang.

After a short time, Shi Zhang, Niu Li and Dou Yu took Shi Na to the barracks.

Shi Zhang's face was dignified. When he saw Zhang Xiu, he bowed his hand with a smile and said, "General Zhang, Shi Na has arrived. Next, we can have a contest between the two sides. "

"No hurry!"

Zhang Xiu replied with a smile.

Shi Zhang raised his brow and asked, "what's the reason?"

He thought in his heart that it was Zhang Xiu who was afraid. If Zhang Xiu is soft and lets Shi na be the prefect of Hanoi County, he can forget what happened in the past.

After all, harmony makes money.

Is not forced to have no way back, he is not willing to fight with Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu said faintly: "this battle between Hu Zhao and Shi Na is not in the military camp, but outside the prefect's residence in the city. This prefect's mansion is open and can accommodate thousands of people. Let them compete in front of countless people, and let the people have a grand occasion. "

Brush!

Shi Zhang's face changed slightly.

He recognized the implication of Zhang Xiu.

It is said that thousands of people can be accommodated outside the prefect's residence, which means that Zhang Xiu is very likely to inform the people to go. In front of countless people, it is quite difficult for Shi Na.

When Shi Zhang thought about it, Niu Li took the lead in saying: "no problem, outside the prefect's house, outside the prefect's house. We have confidence in Mr. Shi, who is the person we recommend. "

Dou Yu also said: "that's the reason. I also agree to compete outside the prefecture."

Shi Zhang's cheek puffed.

He thought in his heart, are these two people sent by Zhang Xiu? Or, in the morning, they were kicked in the head by donkeys and agreed to Zhang Xiu so easily.

You know, this is proposed by Zhang Xiu, which means that Zhang Xiu is well prepared. And they are in a hurry to fight, which is extremely uneconomic. Even if they had made corresponding arrangements before, Zhang Xiu's changes would make the plan deviate.

Zhang Xiu's eyes fell on Shi Zhang.

He knew that Shi Zhang was the leader.

Zhang Xiu said: "why, is it that Shi Gong has no confidence in Shi na. Shi Na comes from a historian. According to the truth, Shi Gong knows Shi Na best. Even Duke Dou and Duke Niu agreed. Didn't Duke Shi dare to fight? Well, if so, why recommend Shi na? "

Shi Zhang was run by Zhang Xiu, so he had nothing to say. He bit his teeth and said, "General Zhang has said that, so let's do it. The three of us have no opinions. "

"OK, let's go!"

Zhang Xiu waved her hand and said, "let's go to the prefect's house now."

After Zhang Xiu gave the order, Shi a nodded around Wang Yue Chao and saw Shi a leave quickly.

Zhang Xiu, Shi Zhang, Hu Zhao and Shi Na left the camp, while Shi a went to convey the order. When Zhang Xiu and Shi Zhang went to the prefect's residence, many royal guards appeared in huaixian County, playing gongs and drums, talking about the contest between Shi Na and Hu Zhao, as well as their fight for the post of prefect in Hanoi county.

The people don't care who the governor of Hanoi is because it's too far away from them. But the people also care about the governor of Hanoi, because a good governor will make their exorbitant taxes easier.

In particular, people like to watch.

With the propaganda of Yamen officers, countless people began to go to the prefecture.

On the way of Zhang Xiu and Shi Zhang to the prefect's residence, at first, there were only these people around them. Gradually, more and more people followed on both sides of the street, and there was curiosity on the faces of people.

Zhang Xiu was not surprised by this.

This is what he arranged.

This is to build momentum for Hu Zhao. He believes in Hu Zhao and is more sure that Hu Zhao can win Shi Na. If Hu Zhao can't suppress him, he will be in vain.

Shi Zhang's face changed slightly.

It's a trick!

This is Zhang Xiu's calculation.

But now, Shi Zhang is driven to the corner and has no way back. Especially when countless people knew the situation, Shi Zhang and Shi Na had no room to retreat.

What do the people think of the retreat at this time?

At this time, where is the reputation of historians?

Shi Zhang took a look at Zhang Xiu and Hu Zhao, and saw that the two people were walking shoulder to shoulder, talking and laughing, with a relaxed look. After looking at Shi Na again, Shi Na behind him followed suit with a dull look.

In contrast, Shi Zhang was out of breath.

I'm afraid of comparing goods.

What comforts Shi Zhang a little is that he has already made arrangements, so he can still feel at ease.The party went to the prefect's residence. When they arrived at the prefect's residence, there was a lot of traffic outside the prefect's residence, and countless people gathered.

There are many voices of discussion.

Many people are talking about it.

When Zhang Xiu and Shi Zhang arrived outside the prefect's mansion, they saw countless people standing in the open space outside the prefect's mansion.

If you look at it, there are at least thousands of people.

Zhang Xiu looked at Shi Zhang and joked: "Shi Gong, has Shi Na seen so many people? Don't be too scared to speak in front of so many people

After a pause, Zhang Xiu said: "Alas, I'm surprised that so many people pay attention to such a trivial matter. But it's also a good thing that people pay attention to it. After all, the eyes of the masses are bright, aren't they? "

Shi Zhang snorted and said in a deep voice, "it's not known who will win or lose."

"I'm looking forward to it," Zhang said

Shi Zhang said, "I'm looking forward to it, too!"

When Zhang Xiu walked to the gate of the prefect's house, the people spontaneously gave way and let Zhang Xiu and Shi Zhang go forward. Shortly after, Zhang Xiu came to the outside of the prefect's mansion, climbed the steps of the prefect's mansion and stood at the gate.

There are steps at the gate of the prefect's residence. Just the height of the steps, so that Zhang Xiu and his party can overlook all the people. Since then, when Hu Zhao and Shi Na competed, they stood at the gate of the prefect's mansion, and countless people outside could see them.

Zhang Xiu looked at all the people, listening to the voice of one discussion after another, raised his hand to signal the people to be quiet.

Soon, many people booed.

The noise faded away.

All eyes fall on Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu took a breath and said, "when the villagers come to the prefecture, they all know that today, Shi Na and Hu Zhao are going to compete for the position of the prefecture magistrate in Hanoi."

"Shi Na is a historian."

"Hu Zhao is a hermit."

"I know that Hu Zhao has great talent, and I'm going to appoint Hu Zhao as the prefect of Hanoi county. It happened that the historians, the Dou family and the Niu family jointly recommended that Shi na be appointed as the prefect of Hanoi county. "

Zhang Xiu roughly said a reason, and continued: "I'm an official. I don't appoint people by affinity, but by talent. Now that there is a dispute, I can't bury the talents. So with the contest between Hu Zhao and Shi Na, they are mules and horses. If you take them out for a walk, you will know. "

When the people heard this, they thought about it.

As long as people live in huaixian County, there are no people who do not know the historians, the Dou family and the Niu family. On hearing Zhang Xiu's words, people naturally have a conflict with Shi Na.

For all the great families are very harsh, and they are to be harsh on them.

To Hu Zhao, a little more intimate.

Zhang Xiu continued: "I don't want to say much. I'll give it to Hu Zhaohe and Shi Na in the next time. In a contest between the two, a gentleman will talk and not do anything to see who is better. "

With that, Zhang Xiu retreated to one side.

The soldiers brought straw stumps. Zhang Xiu lifted her robes and sat down to watch.
