This is the patriarch of the Li and Chen clans in Yunyang County.

The head of the Li clan looked obviously older, and he bowed to Zhao Zhou and said, "Zhao County Zun."

Zhao Zhou stood up and bowed back: "I have seen two father-in-laws. I wonder why they were bewitched by others. They actually wanted to commit such a crime and cause trouble to their descendants?"

The head of the Chen clan was taller and his voice was louder: "The county master said this a little badly. We were originally a citizen of the Qin Dynasty. Now that the great army of the Qin Dynasty has returned, we have led our people back to the Qin Dynasty. Where did the offense come from?

Zhao Zhou suddenly burst into laughter.

After a while, when the head of the Chen clan leader with a discomfort was about to explode, Zhao Zhou stopped laughing: "Boss Chen seems to be so confused that he is a little too sharp. Bai Qi's troops in Qin are far away from Qishan, and there are still hundreds of miles away. My General Le Yi of Zhao led his army to confront him and defeat him soon. The Qin army will never be able to return here in his lifetime!"

After Zhao Zhou finished speaking, a brief silence suddenly appeared in the lobby.

The head of the Li clan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Zhao County Master is joking. General Bai Qi is a famous general of the world. As for General Le Yi... his reputation has never been heard of by me and others. How could he beat General Bai Qi?"

Zhao Zhou laughed loudly.

"Bai Qi? In the Battle of Lianggou, General Le Yi was beaten to flee in a panic. In the Battle of Hangu Pass, he was killed in ten or five, and he could not even defend Guanzhong. He could only abandon the entire Guanzhong and fled south. Do Ersanzi really think that such a person can defeat General Le Yi and recover Guanzhong?"

The head of the Li clan shook his head and said, "Even if the county master says this, it is useless. To be honest, General Le Yi has only 100,000 people in his hands, which is equivalent to General Bai Qi in terms of number. Now, not only Yunyang, but also at least ten other local families in the surrounding five counties have rebelled. There are countless people in Guanzhong who want to betray Zhao State and return to Qin again. Even if General Le Yi can fight well, without the support of my Guanzhong elders, can he really win?"

Zhao Zhou smiled and said, "I don't hide it from you. Now my King of Zhao is leading an army of 500,000 in the Central Plains, fighting with the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Chu, and will soon destroy the Wei Kingdom. By that time, even if Bai Qi can defeat General Le Yi's 100,000 troops, can he still fight with my king's 500,000 troops?"

After Zhao Zhou finished speaking, everyone in the lobby changed their faces.

Someone said in a trembling voice: "King Zhao is coming again?"

If the title of General Le Yi is not outstanding, King Zhao's name is definitely well-known to the people of Guanzhong.

The Battle of Qi defeated the Chu army in Jucheng and completely destroyed Qi. The Battle of Lianggou broke the undefeated myth of the Qin army Shen Bai Qi. The Battle of Hangu Pass once again made Qin flee in a panic and abandon Guanzhong. These were presented one by one, especially those of Guanzhong who were people.

The faces of the two patriarchs also changed drastically. After a while, the Li clan leader reluctantly smiled and said, "Why do you have to arrange lies? Guanzhong is the Guanzhong of the Qin Dynasty after all, but thinking about being a county master and being Yunyang is considered a lot of practical things. I can let the county master live and leave today."

Zhao Zhou sighed and said, "Old Li, Mr. Li, it's not that you let me go, but that I am saving the lives of your Li and Chen clans! In less than a month at most, the news of my great victory in the Central Plains will inevitably come. Not to mention whether Bai Qi can win at that time, so what if he wins? Once my king advances west again, Li and Chen clans will inevitably be implicated by the clan as rebellion of Qin!"

Zhao Zhouhuan looked at the many young and strong people in front of him and whispered loudly: "At that time, your wife will be sent to be a concubine, your son will become a slave to raise horses for generations, and your head will be hung on the top of Yunyang City as a warning! Is this the life you want?"

Many young and strong men looked at each other, and whispers began to sound in the lobby.

Zhao Zhou turned his eyes to the two old patriarchs who were speechless and said earnestly: "Two fathers, I also know that you are just being bewitched. When General Le Yi sent troops, you Li and Chen also provided a lot of manpower and material resources. Since I am the magistrate of Yunyang County, I can't bear to see that you, as my people, end up like this. This time, as long as you don't continue this stupid behavior, I can think that everything has not happened. What do you think?"

The Li and Chen clan leader were also hesitant. After a while, the Li clan leader said, "But the county lord, the surrounding county towns are already..."

Zhao Zhou slapped the table and whispered loudly: "This is a good opportunity for you and me! Think about it, if Li and Chen gathered under our command at this time, and we will recruit some young and strong warriors, and we will recover several other county towns, wouldn't that be a great achievement? I can promise that this time, I will never hide any credit. I may say that Li and Chen will be promoted to heaven because of this time, and that there will be a place for your two families in the Handan Center in the future!"

The Li family and the Chen family leader were completely stunned.

Suddenly, an official standing next to Zhao Zhou took a step forward, saluted to the two patriarchs, and whispered loudly: "Big Father, Old Chen. The boy has been following Zhaoxianzun for more than half a year. At first, he was also resentful and felt that Zhaoxianzun, a Zhao native, was here to oppress us Guanzhong people. But please think about it carefully. In the past six months, Zhaoxianzun took us to rebuild our homes, divide our farmland again, and tried many unjust, false and wrong cases. When we plowed in spring, we went down to understand the people's sentiments. What is not for the good of our Yunyang people?"

"Compared with Zhaoxianzun, what did the Qin officials do back then? They were always lawful, they had to hand over supplies, and they were punished by armor at any time, either by coaxing them, or killing people! How did my father die? During the Battle of Lianggou, he was responsible for transporting food, but because of the cold on the road, he was beheaded by the Qin people on the spot! Is this kind of Qin really what we want? Can't we follow Zhaoxianzun with sincerity to us, and must sacrifice our lives for the cruel and unkind Qin?"

This subordinate is the Li family member who is around Zhao Zhou, and is also the eldest grandson of the Li family leader.

This subordinate was undoubtedly his own person to the Li clan members present, so the buzzing discussion suddenly amplified, and some even began to agree.

"Yes, Li Xiaozi is right. My wife had a difficult childbirth last year. If Zhaoxianzun had not sent my wife to Yunyang with his carriage, I'm afraid my wife and young son would have been killed."

"When Zhaoxian Zundi's land was distributed, the land given to each household was at least twice as much as before, and everyone was fair."

"You see, Zhaoxianzun's official uniforms are all broken and there are patches."

"The robes under Zhaoxianzun are a little moldy and wet."

...

Zhao Zhou coughed, attracted everyone's attention, and then slowly spoke: "Old Li, Mr. Chen, what? Now the opportunity to make contributions is right in front of you. If you insist on not following me, Zhao Zhou, has nothing to say."

The two old men looked at each other and suddenly nodded at the same time, as if they had made up their minds.

The head of the Chen clan said in a deep voice: "County Master, we were offended before. Now all the members of the Chen and Li clans are willing to be loyal to the county master, continue to be loyal to the Great Zhao, and quell the rebellion in other counties and towns!"

Zhao Zhou laughed and bowed: "You two will know in the future how wise you have made! Since that's the case, please let the tribes go home first, so as not to miss the farming season for spring farming. When the official sends people to find out the situation in the surrounding counties, it will be time for us to send troops to make contributions!"

Since Zhao Zhou said that, everyone naturally dispersed.

The dozen officials present looked at Zhao Zhou with admiration in their eyes, all thinking: "Zhao County Master not only loves the people as his son, but also has outstanding eloquence. After a mere word, he convinced the two clan leaders to eliminate a disaster invisibly."
