After more than a month,

As the golden autumn season approaches in early September, Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong who was stationed in Shuzhong, also issued a series of countermeasures regarding the Cao family's king-conferring ceremony held by the Zhang River in the southern suburbs of Yecheng.

Government orders were issued one after another.

…

Wudu County, the county governs the debate.

Governor's Mansion.

Zhao Tong took over the post of governor from Huo Jun and had almost a month left.

During this period of time, he basically conquered all the soldiers under his command.

Then it took about half a month to inspect the northern defense line from Sanguan to Qishanbao, which was adjacent to Cao's rule.

Re-plan defensive measures for each line of defense.

After the situation in the two counties has stabilized for the time being, the remaining matters will naturally be left to the people under his command.

He also once again became the hands-off shopkeeper.

All day long the glass was between Qiang Dao and Xia Bian.

However, Ma Di, Liu Yin and others who had been following Zhao Tong for a long time did not have any other ideas.

They are all very familiar with their general's style.

On weekdays, I have always focused on major events and planned the general direction. As for the detailed matters and other specific matters, I have arranged for everyone under my command to handle them.

However, Huo Jun's subordinate officials or generals in the army were quite critical and couldn't stop talking about it.

Zhao Tong appointed Ma Su to be fully responsible for all affairs in the county, and all the officials rushed to the governor's house to express their opinions.

All the generals in the army discussed it with Liu Yin, who was the most respected by Zhao Tong and relied on as his right-hand man.

"General Liu, what are Governor Zhao busy with?"

"Why do I feel like the dragon is seen all day but not its tail, and no one is seen all day long?"

"He is the governor of the second county. Wudu is almost completely bordered by the lands under Cao's rule. If he doesn't personally sit down and defend, why is he still running around?"

This group of people were originally under Huo Jun, and Zhao Tong had not been with them for long, so naturally he could not understand his intention to become the boss.

Now everyone is trying to persuade them with worried expressions on their faces.

I hope Ma Su and Liu Yin, two people who are highly valued by the new governor of the family, can persuade me.

Unexpectedly, their reactions were different, but the reasons for their refusal were basically the same.

After all, Ma Di came from a young and talented background, and he was very particular about his speaking style.

He was explaining nicely.

As for Liu Yin, a more impatient general, he couldn't care so much and responded bluntly, "You don't know the governor yet, so it makes sense that you don't know what he does!"

"But you don't have to worry about this. Since the commander-in-chief joined the army and commanded the troops, he has won consecutive battles and almost never lost."

"Didn't the Governor's Council take into account the situation that everyone is thinking about?"

When the words fell here, Liu Yin's face became serious unconsciously, and he said loudly: "Look at it, everyone, even if the Governor leaves early and comes back late these days, he hardly bothers to argue."

"Is there anything going on in Wudu County?"

When he said this, it was as if he was deafening.

The generals seemed to be awakened. They looked at each other, with expressions of "It seems so" on their faces.

Is this indeed the case?

Although the governor often disappeared from the city, the order in the two counties was not lost.

There were no flaws in the defenses of the various military camp officers and defense lines!

With this thought in mind, all the generals came together, but at this moment they didn't know what to say.

Perhaps because everyone looked at them with blank expressions, Liu Yin on the side actually laughed heartily. After a while, he smiled and said:

"Haha. Actually, you don't have to bear any burden!"

"You are so entangled in the governor's whereabouts because you are considering the safety of the two counties."

"After all, the governor is in charge of the two counties. If I don't sit in and argue, if Cao's eyes and ears spy on this news, it may bring about changes."

He first reassured the generals with his words, and then his tone gradually became serious and he said, "At the beginning, when Yinchu followed the governor, he didn't quite understand this approach."

“It wasn’t until the governor spoke to me that I was greatly inspired!”

"General Liu, I don't know what you are talking about?"

A general from the side suddenly turned solemn and asked quickly.

"The Governor once said that as a general of an army, he only needs to grasp the general direction and make specific decisions without making mistakes. As for the specific affairs, the generals under his command can be fully responsible."

"It would be bad if you did everything yourself!"

As soon as this was said, all the generals started discussing among themselves.

"Looking at it this way, the governor is still wise and powerful?"

"Indeed, the governor's decentralization of power is indeed a good policy!"

"Now there is Ma Junjun in Xiabian City with full power to handle government affairs, and General Liu is also in charge of the military camp. All military and political affairs in the two counties are kept smooth."

"There is order and there are no incidents at all defense lines,"

"It seems that we are still too superficial to understand the Governor's intentions?"

For a moment, after Liu Yin's explanations, the generals once again recalled the actual situation in the county they had visited recently, and they knew that Zhao Tong had not made any mistakes.

Naturally, the initial complaint gradually evolved into admiration.

His eyes moved slightly, and his eyes seemed to be full of admiration.

To soothe everyone's mood.

The government order sent from Chengdu also quickly rushed to Xiabian City by envoys and asked for an audience outside the Governor's Mansion.

When Ma Su heard that this order was issued by the King of Hanzhong himself, he did not dare to be negligent at all and quickly called him in.

After the king's order was handed over to him for review,

After Ma Su looked at it, his expression suddenly changed, and he sent someone to let the messenger go down to rest. He quickly waved his hand to the guards and immediately rode along the official road to the Qiang Road to look for Zhao Tong.

Then tell him that he must return to the debate quickly and that there are urgent matters for him to make the decision.

After Ma Su made this arrangement,

Groups of guards galloped out of the city to search for the general.

Around the evening of that day, the sky in the distance was already reflected like a red glow on the limbs, and the sun was slowly setting towards Li Yuan.

The guards and the group of guards rushed out of Xiaben City, about thirty miles away, when they ran into the general who was returning with his bodyguard general Huo Yi and his bodyguards.

When Zhao Tong saw this, there was some suspicion on his face. He pointed the riding whip in his hand at everyone and asked, "Where are you going in such a panic?"

The two parties met each other and saw that they were all members of their own family. Then they slowed down their horses and stopped.

As soon as he said this, the guards with swords hanging on their waists all looked at each other in confusion.

After a while, the still muscular captain of the guard rode his horse to the front, with a respectful look on his face, and responded with a military salute:

"To inform the Governor, we came out of the city specifically to look for you on orders to join the army."

"Join the army and say that there are urgent military affairs that need to be decided by you personally!"

One word slowly fell out,

On the contrary, a trace of suspicion appeared on the cheek of Zhao Tong on the other side.

"Oh? Emergency military affairs?"

He pondered for a moment and then murmured to himself, "But with his young abilities, if he is unable to finalize matters on his own, it is obviously beyond the scope of his responsibilities."

Figure this out,

Zhao Tong knew that military affairs could not be delayed!

He ordered the people to speed up their horses and galloped back to argue.

The speed increased, and in less than half an hour, Zhao Tong and his entourage returned to the debate.

Governor's Mansion,

Seeing Zhao Tong's return, Ma Di even called all the officials to line up at the gate of the mansion to meet him.

On the way to the mansion, Zhao Tong saw the figures around him. He deliberately leaned close to Ma Di and asked in a low voice:

"Youchang, is there any urgent military matter?"

Hearing this, Ma Su did not hide anything, and bluntly told the truth about the content of the royal order he had received.

During the whole process, the two of them did it in one breath, and their voices were kept very low.
