Chapter 1113: Night Faith
Although wars were raging all around and the rebellious army had a bad start, this did not affect the prosperity of Xindu at night.
As the state capital of Jizhou, an authentic king-level city, Xindu is at the top in terms of area, population, and prosperity. In the entire Huaxia District, only Chang'an and Luoyang (Luoyang before the Dong Zhuo Rebellion) can stabilize Xindu. Xindu is fully capable of competing for the title of the most prosperous royal city.
Like the modern metropolis in reality, the metropolis in the flames of war can also be called a city that never sleeps. All kinds of magical means have replaced electricity to drive the modernization process of a city.
Although it was past nine o'clock in the evening, the bustling street was still full of tourists and noisy.
In the inner city area, in a luxurious and majestic mansion, a man who looks like a butler is bending over to report to another man: "My lord, more than a dozen local big families including the Xin family and the Shen family have jointly sent invitations, inviting Your Excellency will go to the banquet to congratulate you on your promotion."
As he spoke, the housekeeper took out a gold-plated invitation card from his pocket, and presented it to the general respectfully.
"Xin Ping? Appraisal? I have never had any contact with them, why did you invite me all of a sudden?"
The general was a little puzzled, and asked involuntarily.
The butler smiled flatteringly and said respectfully: "My lord, the judge and Xin Ping are not liked by the state shepherd, and you have just succeeded General Zhao Fu and are in charge of the defense of Xindu, and you are being trusted by the state shepherd. Shen Pei and Xin Ping also want to take this opportunity to make friends with you, so as to restore their image in the eyes of Master Zhou."
The military commander nodded when he heard the words, and then frowned again: "My lord doesn't like Xin and the two judges. I just took over the important task. It's better not to go to this banquet. You can decline it on behalf of the general!"
Hearing this, the housekeeper bent even deeper: "My lord, in my humble opinion, you might as well go and have a look, my lord."
"Oh? Why?"
"My lord, you are taking on important responsibilities at the beginning. Although you have the trust of the state shepherd, you still need the support of these aristocratic families. If you refuse to go to the banquet, it may be detrimental to your future career, my lord.
Furthermore, it is Xin Ping and Judgment that Master Zhou doesn't like, not Xin's and Shen's. To say something disrespectful, even Master Zhou has to give Xin and Shen three points of face..."
"Shut up!"
Before the butler finished speaking, the general immediately gave a cold drink and interrupted the next topic.
The steward shut up immediately,
Volunteer to plead guilty.
Although he scolded the butler on the surface, the general looked a little hesitant. As the leaders of the local wealthy families in Jizhou, the Xin and Shen clans have ubiquitous influence. Rather than saying that Han Fu ruled Jizhou, it is better to say that the major families pushed Han Fu to the fore.
Although Han Fu was very afraid of Shen Pei and Xin Ping, and dismissed them all, but in Jizhou, from the prefect of a county, the commander of an army to the official of the county government, and the leader of the army squadron, all the shadows of the major families are full.
Taking Xindu as an example, there are a total of 2.4 million troops stationed in Xindu, and they are divided into 36 guarding lieutenants to command. Above the thirty-six lieutenants there are nine controlling generals who are in charge of different jurisdictions. General.
It turned out that the guarding general was Zhao Fu, and this general was Han Zhe, the guarding general who succeeded Zhao Fu.
Han Zhe is Han Fu's clan (non-historical general), and he was Zhao Fu's deputy before, which can be regarded as a means for Han Fu to check and balance his opponents. Han Zhe is well aware of the huge influence of the major families in Jizhou.
As far as Han Zhe knew, four of the nine ruling generals came from Jizhou families, and one of them was a member of the Xin family. Although the remaining five ruling generals were not from aristocratic families, most of them were inextricably linked to aristocratic families.
As for the officials guarding the rank of lieutenant, they are almost monopolized by the aristocratic family. Offended the aristocratic family, even with Han Fu as his backer, Han Zhe couldn't control the Xindu army smoothly.
After thinking for a moment, Han Zhe said, "Alright, prepare a gift for the general and go to the banquet."
After finishing speaking, Han Zhe explained with a little worry: "Send an order to Han Yi to be more vigilant. The world is not balanced recently. I have just taken over as the guarding general. I don't want Xiaoxiao to make trouble."
Han Yi is Han Zhe's deputy and also Han Fu's relative.
Without a trusted capable subordinate, Han Fu could only promote a large number of his relatives to key positions. It's a pity that among Han Fu's family members, there are no amazing talents, most of them are mediocre, and they are forcibly promoted to high positions, and they don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.
Seeing that Han Zhe agreed to attend the banquet, the butler unconsciously showed a smile, bowed and said, "Yes, my villain, let's prepare now!"
In order to lure Han Zhe to the banquet, Xin bribed a whole box of jewels, and promised that there would be a big thank you after the matter was completed. With Xin's background, the big thank you would have to be several thousand gold, right?
The butler thought happily.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Han Zhe boarded the carriage and left the guarding general's mansion under the escort of a team of personal guards to go to the banquet.
Leaving aside how Han Zhe had a banquet with all the senior officials of the aristocratic family, and said that after Han Zhe left, Han Yi immediately took up the heavy responsibility and replaced Han Zhe on duty.
Han Zhe had just taken over, let alone Han Yi was just Han Zhe's assistant.
All kinds of cumbersome things made Han Yi's head big, and tonight seemed to be particularly unsatisfactory, and bad luck rushed to his head.
First of all, a store unfortunately flooded and ignited most of the block, and the raging flames reflected half of the sky red. The controlling general in charge of the block was also on the Xin family's invitation list, and the people below directly reported the situation to Han Yi.
Because the fire was so fierce, Han Yi had to send troops to put out the fire.
Before the fire was extinguished, another massacre occurred in Xicheng District. The daring alien bandits relied on their strength to ransack a bank, killing hundreds of people from the shopkeeper to the job.
Han Yi hurriedly dispatched a group of elite soldiers to catch the bandits.
Somehow, the troupe performing the tiger show let several tigers escape by accident, and even killed the owner of the theater. The onlookers were panicked and fled one after another, and because it was night, serious confusion was caused.
Han Yi once again dispatched troops to restore order.
……………………
Similar incidents happened one after another, which made Han Yi very anxious. He had just solved a large-scale brawl among soldiers caused by prostitution. A general who made a mistake, the general held a grudge, sneaked into the camp at night, killed the guarding captain, and instigated a mutiny.
Although the mutiny was quickly suppressed, the matter was too big for Han Yi to handle. On the one hand, he went to the scene in person, on the other hand, he sent someone to Han Zhe to ask Han Zhe to come back to preside over the overall situation, and on the other hand, he sent someone to inform Han Fu.
When Han Yi rushed to the assassination scene in a hurry, a team with few personnel but extremely strong combat effectiveness had quietly hidden in the inner city, and the leader of them was Yuan Shao, the governor of Bohai County!
