Looking at Wu Sheng who stood aside blankly after getting up, Wang Zheng looked at him with complicated eyes, shook his head, and decided to ignore him for the time being.
He ordered his soldiers to bury all the corpses of the county government and clean up the filth. Then he called Xu Fang and others and walked together towards the backyard of the county government.
Wu Sheng was left alone in a daze.
The backyard is usually where the county magistrate lives and works. Before today, it was also the center of power for the entire Zhao County.
The place where Wang Zheng rushed to was naturally the study room of the county king Cui Xiun.
When he entered the study, everyone behind him was amazed. Only Wang Zheng remained calm and showed no surprise.
After all, as a traveler from the Celestial Dynasty, when it comes to his vast knowledge, even in the inner courtyard of the palace or the prime minister's palace, there is no scene that can amaze him.
However, he also admitted that in the eyes of the ancients, this study was considered to be quiet, luxurious and of good style.
As Cui Xun, who comes from a famous family like the Cui family of Qinghe, even if he is just a side branch, the study room of this county prince is indeed very well decorated.
The bookshelves are lined with antiques and cultural relics, and there are also some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the surrounding walls. At first glance, they are all valuable and rare things.
It's just that as they are said to be antiques in prosperous times and gold in troubled times, I am afraid that their value will be greatly reduced in the future.
Wang Zheng showed no nostalgia for these precious treasures that were within easy reach. He just glanced at them casually and ordered everyone to sort out all the bamboo slips in the study and put them on the table.
Wang Zheng is only interested in one thing at the moment.
That's all the information about Zhao County.
He needs to know the population, taxes, money and food, official documents, warehouse inventory...etc., everything.
In a short time, with the quick movements of a few people, countless bamboo slips and papers instantly filled up all the space on the square table in the middle of the study room, stacked on top of each other like a hill.
Following Wang Zheng's greeting, Xu Fang stepped forward to hold hands, and the two of them began to read through the books and put them into categories.
Wu Niu and others stood aside with big eyes and small eyes, just in a daze.
For this kind of thing, these illiterate peasants are really powerless and can do nothing to help.
Soon, the bamboo slips were sorted into categories. Wang Zheng raised his head with satisfaction and stretched his muscles and bones that had been restrained by armor for a long time.
Amidst the crackling of bones, when he raised his head and looked at the people who were at a loss what to do, he couldn't help but sigh.
This is my senior officer... or a major...
"You are the first batch of officers of our Heavenly Army. In the future, you will be in charge of more and more soldiers, and the tasks entrusted to you will become more and more important." At this point, Wang Zheng paused and his tone became gentler:
"You should also be like Xu Fang and read more books."
Hearing Wang Zheng's words, the others looked ashamed and nodded repeatedly.
Only Wu Niu looked at it openly, as if he didn't care about being looked down upon by others, he just touched his head and said with a smile:
"It doesn't matter if you don't study. Anyway, we will attack wherever the general points."
After hearing this, Wang Zheng rested his head helplessly and was too lazy to talk to such idiots anymore. He just sat down on the high back of the Taiwei chair, closed his eyes and began to think.
Counting from the day of the calamity, it has been six days.
The news of the rebellion must have been learned by Cao Cao.
I had privately estimated that day that based on the history in my memory and the spies from the previous camp, Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou was a major strategy and he would go all out to mobilize all his troops. There would not be too many armaments left in Yanzhou and Qingzhou.
Cao Amo was suspicious by nature. After hearing the news about the Yellow Turban rebellion in Zhao County, his first consideration must be whether several other military camps in Qingzhou would cooperate to cause rebellion.
And based on his past knowledge of the Yellow Turbans, he would also speculate that he would coerce the people and gather them to build momentum.
Because the defensive ability is already weak, if we let our group of people win a few more battles, it will only make the situation even more disastrous.
Considering these two points alone, the possibility of him dispatching troops from Xuzhou would be greater than the possibility of dispatching the garrison forces from Yanqing and Qingzhou.
It is said that all the efforts are accomplished in one battle.
Based on the distance from Xuzhou to Qingzhou, the time left for me is only seven or eight days at most.
Thinking of this, Wang Zheng touched his face.
The whip marks had already faded away due to his amazing physique, so that others could not see it. Only when he touched it with his own hands, the new skin still brought a slight strange feeling.
Although I don't know how many troops Cao Cao will send, as long as the generals under his command plan their own plans, they have a good chance of winning.
The hatred of killing a son, the hatred of stabbing in the back.
For both public and private reasons, the one who came to attack him with the quelling army should be Xiahou Dun, the prefect of Dongjun, who had a strong personality, was rough and brave.
Thinking of this, Wang Zheng showed a confident smile and gently patted the two posts of the Taiwei chair, leisurely and unrestrainedly.
At this time, Xu Fang had nothing to do after sorting out the documents, and casually flipped through the bamboo slips of official documents in front of him. After looking at them for a long time, he suddenly let out an exclamation.
"They conquered three cities in ten days. Caozhou Mu is really powerful."
It can be seen from the title alone that the people of Qingzhou were indeed defeated by Cao Cao.
Even though they rebelled, they couldn't help shouting their honorifics.
"Bring it to me and see."
Looking at the bamboo slips Xu Fang was holding, Wang Zheng became curious and wanted to see what content was recorded on it, which made the young and mature Xu Fang react like this.
After seeing the Han Li above, Wang Zheng shrugged.
After all, it is Wei Wu, so it is not surprising to have such a record. Wang Zheng smiled and said: "What is this..."
He suddenly paused mid-sentence and turned his gaze back.
Staring at the bamboo slip, or rather staring at the sentence on the bamboo slip, Wang Zheng was in a daze.
Trapped Captain Chen in the ban and captured Guangwei...
what's the situation?
When I was thinking about who would be the general of Cao's army, I happened to see this person's name...
Wang Zheng suddenly felt an unknown premonition.
He recalled those not so good memories.
Every time I tried hard to plan the past few times, I always ended up with extra details and mistakes.
It won't happen again, right?
………
When Wang Zheng started accounting for Zhao County's money warehouse, grain warehouse, weapons warehouse, etc.
At this moment, Zhao County has also fallen into unprecedented chaos.
In addition to the Tiangang Army and Tianzhu Camp in the system, some non-local soldiers in Tianfu Camp could not restrain themselves and began to loot in the city.
Some rogues in Zhao County were already itchy when they saw the officers and soldiers defeated, but now they saw someone taking the lead and immediately joined in.
For a while, there was endless chaos and crying and shouting.
Some thugs encountered resistance during robberies, and in anger even set fire to their houses.
Robbery and arson are always associated, and not without reason.
At this time, the weather is dry in spring, and the fire spreads instantly.
Even though he was in the backyard of the county government office, with his astonishing physique, Wang Zheng could vaguely hear the panic and cries from all over the city at this time.
He did not immediately send troops to suppress it, because this was not what he expected and it was an unintentional indulgence.
Over thousands of years, the forms of war have changed, and equipment has been upgraded, but the fact that war causes the ugliness of human nature has never changed.
There is nothing new under the sun.
Facing the coming powerful enemy, Wang Zheng needs to firmly control Zhao County.
The easiest way is to break the original order first and then establish a new order.
