Chapter 2 Murder

The next morning, outside Huai County, the place where Ye Zhao performed the troops was located outside the north gate of Huai County. On the spacious plain, standing on the city wall, looking at it, but seeing swords and guns and murderous auras were everywhere, it had not yet begun. It was just the momentum brought by the troops walking back and forth, so the county soldiers guarding the city turned pale and fought. Even if Ye Zhao brought his personal guards to occupy the North Gate Tower as a viewing platform, none of the county soldiers dared to come forward and say no. They even had to cooperate with Ye Zhao's men to maintain order around and appease the emotions of the people.

The three generations of the Ye family have taken root in Huai County. Since returning to Huai County, they have visited many people according to the rules of their hometown. In addition to the initial discomfort of Ye Zhao's residence, the people have gradually become accustomed to it. At this moment, there are even many bold people coming to watch, wanting to see how the famous generals from Hanoi govern the army.

On the north gate tower, Ye Zhao ordered people to set up several large Hu beds here. Some prominent families in the city were invited, and whether they did not come or not, they were all self-consent, and Ye Zhao did not force them.

However, with his current status, at least in this Hanoi place, not many people don’t give him any face.

"What do you mean by General Ye?" Ye Zhaogao sat above the commander's position, looking down at the neatly arranged queues under the city. After seeing that Ye Zhao didn't say much, the heads of the family began to whisper: "It doesn't seem like they are demonstrating with us."

"What kind of demonstration is that General Wei still needs to show his power to us? Besides, if it is a demonstration, the person who comes to the door to submit the post will not be as polite as you and me." The person asked said a little unhappy: "This is just an ordinary military exercise. Inviting us to come is just to rest assured. This is General Wei's hometown, how can he make things difficult for us?"

"That's right. When Wei Xian made things difficult for General Wei in the past, we did not stand up and helped some secretly."

"But they say that General Wei is good at governing the army. Now it seems that this is true. If Wang Kuang's men have half of the momentum under the tent of General Wei, they can still be considered elite. Look at those county soldiers, even the female soldiers under the tent of General Wei are not as good as those of the female soldiers."

"I just don't know why General Wei wants to take over female soldiers? Can women fight even?"

"Who knows? But I heard that these female soldiers rescued the horse in Muye when the late emperor was alive, and they were trained by General Wei. I heard that they were no worse than Luoyang Imperial Guards."

"To be honest, when I saw that General Wei ten years ago, I really couldn't tell that he had such great ability. The Ye family is now proud of the lintel in the hands of General Wei."

"Look, isn't that Wang Kuang? What's wrong with him..."

"Lord, the prefect Wang Kuang brings it." As everyone spoke, Dian Wei and two personal guards took Wang Kuang up the city tower and came straight to Ye Zhao.

"What does General Wei mean?" Wang Kuang looked at Ye Zhao angrily: "Even if Kuang had some celebrations with General Wei in Luoyang in the past, he had never been negligent after returning home. Now, without asking the reason, he sent this rash man to bring me here. Is General Wei demonstrating to the elders of Hanoi?"

Ye Zhao's invitation was delivered yesterday, but Wang Kuang naturally could not come. Who knew that early this morning, Dian Wei broke into the door and arrested people without saying a word. After all, he was the prefect of a county. Although he was under Ye Zhao, his position was not much lower than Ye Zhao's. Ye Zhao directly asked for someone so directly was a bit insulting.

The others couldn't help but change their color slightly when they heard this. If they didn't come, would Ye Zhao use the same method to "please" them?

"Mr. Day, you and I haven't seen each other for a long time. This meeting is so sharp, isn't it good?" Ye Zhao raised the tea bowl, but did not mean to make Wang Kuang rise. He said indifferently: "In addition, even if it is a demonstration, I will only show you. Don't drag the Hanoi elders. It's not your turn to represent me in Hanoi."

"I am the prefect of Hanoi, why can't I?" Wang Kuang said angrily.

"It won't be there soon." Ye Zhao put down the teacup, looked at the Hanoi squire who were looking around, and smiled and said, "Don't be surprised. Today's affairs are my personal grudge with Wang Kuang. If you are afraid, leave, Ye Zhao will not point his sword at his fellow villagers. If all the uncles and brothers trust Ye, they will stay and testify to see if Ye is doing something wrong today?"

"Yehou is joking. You were raised in Huai County. You must not be the one who deceives others for no reason. I just don't know how this prefect Wang angered Yehou?" Zhao Shen, the head of the Zhao family, smiled and bowed to Ye Zhao, and said in confusion.

"Ye returned to his hometown this time because he was dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's actions and was unwilling to join him. Both of them had been away from their hometown for many years. They wanted to come back to see their hometown and pay tribute to the ancestral temples, but they had no other intentions." Ye Zhao looked at Wang Kuang and said, "The prefect Wang had disagreements with me in the past, but that was a public affairs. Ye had always had clear distinction between public and private affairs and could not avenge private revenge. This is virtue!"

Take out two letters from your arms and hand them to Zhao Shen: "I just don't know how prejudice Wang has against Ye? I want to join forces with Jizhou to kill me?"

"I..." Wang Kuang's face began to turn pale after seeing the two letters.

"Do you know, what will happen to me, Hanoi if Han Jizhou and Yuan Benchu ​​really respond to your invitation and fight together?" Ye Zhao lowered his head, looked down on Wang Kuang, and his tone gradually turned sharp: "You will not only kill me, but also cause the Hanoi people to suffer from the suffering of swords and weapons. Do you say that you are the prefect of Hanoi, but have you really wanted to do anything for the Hanoi people?"

"This..." Zhao Shen looked at the two letters, a flash of shock flashed in his eyes, then looked at Wang Kuang and said in a deep voice: "Will the prefect give me some explanation?"

"I..." Wang Kuang looked at Ye Zhao and said in a deep voice: "How can you let others sleep soundly beside the bed? Your Ye family's private soldiers and the guard general's office have 40,000 soldiers, but the prefect's office has less than 4,000. How can you feel at ease?"

"Is this the reason for you to collude with others?" Ye Zhao stood up, took the bamboo paper from Zhao Shen, and slapped Wang Kuang in the face: "For this reason, I will not hesitate to bring my millions of Hanoi into the war, just to seek peace of mind?"

"Everyone!" Ye Zhao looked at the gentry and said in a stern manner: "I didn't want to bother you, uncles and brothers, but it was really not a person's intention to hurt the tiger, but the tiger was harmful to the hearts of others. Since the uncles and brothers are here, please give Ye a witness. It's not Zhao who ignores the court's laws, but this person is hiding evil intentions. The following is the best, and intends to bring my Hanoi villagers into the war. Killing this person today is not a personal grudge, but this person is vicious in nature. Zhao is really worried and handed over my fertile land in Hanoi to the hands of this person!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Ye, this person is not to be jealous of death!" Several gentry stood up and clasped their fists at Ye Zhao.

"Not killing is enough to calm the anger of the people. Don't worry, Mr. Ye. We must not let Mr. Ye be wronged at all. How can this unvirtuous person do whatever he wants in the land of Hanoi?"

"Yes, kill him! Kill him!"

Many people around him were shouting.

Ye Zhao stretched out his hand and pressed it down. The sound at the scene was quick and trivial. Ye Zhao looked at Wang Kuang and said, "Brother Gongjie, let's get over your grudges."

"Ye Zhao, how dare you say you don't have the intention to kill me at all!" Wang Kuang roared angrily.
