Gu Chang, who was full of high expectations from the villagers, set off in a mighty way. The group advanced east along the river and headed straight to Yecheng, Weizhou Prefecture.

Although Gu Chang was born in the Qingwang Portal in Jiangdong, he was not a person who advocated tranquility and mystery. He did not care about his past years, but his resume as an official under the rule of Xingtai was rich. After years of hard work and political achievements, he was obvious to all. He was definitely not chosen by the villagers as the first candidate to go to Hebei just by his reputation.

When the group left Luoyang, they had already left January. Although the deadline for taking office stipulated by the General was March, considering that Hebei was newly restored and everything was in trouble, and Gu Chang himself had no experience in walking in Hebei, he still needed to leave at least ten days to understand the situation within his jurisdiction. In this way, the time was already very short.

Since he was traveling north, Gu Chang left the team and tried to arrive in Yecheng as soon as possible. Of course, although the journey was hurrying, he did not forget to carefully observe the scenery and appearance of Hebei along the way, in order to form a general understanding in his heart as soon as possible.

Although the royal army launched a large-scale Northern Expedition since May last year, Fangtou Fortress was built a few years ago. Therefore, the Hanoi, Jijun and other places in the western border of Fangtou have of course been re-organized into Qinzhou and Shangzhou. Since the beginning, they have been in Taiwan to manage the land, and the people's livelihood has been restored. Although it is still not as prosperous as Heluo, it has become much more prosperous than the Jiaoguang and other places where Gu Chang was in charge of the past year.

As he walked along, Gu Chang had to sigh, no wonder the people of the Central Plains have always underestimated the people of Wu. Although Wuzhong is rich and happy, it is still difficult to compare which one is better than the two sides of the Yellow River, which has been developing for hundreds or thousands of years. Even though Hebei has been repeatedly destroyed, as the order is slightly restored, the territory will soon be full of vitality.

Gu Chang is now in his early forties, and compared with the respect that the young men in Jiangdong respect General Shen like a god, he has an older calmness.

However, when they truly set foot in the Hebei territory, they have to sigh that if General Shen had not made the world's extraordinary talent in Jiangdong turned the tide and held the national power, even if they could be spared from the suffering of Hu disaster in the Central Plains, if they wanted to truly set foot in the Central Plains and strive for the general trend, their foundation would still be far from enough.

Of course, the current Wu people, including those who are mature and steady, have few self-deprecating sighs. Although Hebei has a deep foundation, Jiangdong's rapid development in recent years is obvious to all, especially the three Wu areas in the essence, whose prosperity and wealth are no less than any region in the world.

During the journey, Gu Chang occasionally heard the words of several rural elders who were telling him before leaving: "Yangzhou has been the best in the world, the overlords of Wu and Yue, and all the alliances. Even if it is far away, the collapse of the Later Han Dynasty, the six counties will become the land of the emperor. The people are strong and have never been inferior to the Central Plains. It is hateful that the Chinese court leaders laugh at me for robbing the rest of the land! Now the general takes charge of the country and rebuilds China, and the country is built on the inside and outside of the country. How can I steal Dianwu again? The local scholars have accumulated shame and the rest of the generations of tyrants, and I am here to fight!

Annexation has been sudden and it is difficult to gather solidity. The great general is about to forge his great achievements and reach the highest level. However, the northern families have always been arrogant, and strong soldiers may be able to kill the momentum, but they may not be able to make them feel at ease. This is just when we, the Southern Scholars, came out and tried our best to intimidate the good people of the northern people. The Han ancestors relied on their old friends in Pei and Guangwu was favored by the old friends of Nanyang. Then, the three Wu villagers all helped the generals! Crossing the rivers and rivers, they would die, and they would not suffer from the hatred of Xiang Chu!"

If the young man said this, Gu Chang would not feel strange. But when he saw the villagers and elders talking about this, Gu Chang was deeply moved.

Today's young people may only be excited about the power of following the general to restore the country, and they don't know much about the suffering of Jiangdong people being excluded and discriminated in their early years. The older generation of Jiangdong scholars, the more they are, the more they are eager for Jiangdong people to be bravely in the mainstream of the world. Even Gu Chang's father Gu Zhong sighed before his death that he had never entered Luoyang for a long time to listen to the voice of the country.

Therefore, Gu Chang felt a great responsibility along the way. He knew that although this trip was not dangerous to kill the enemy, he must not be lazy. The strong children of Jiangdong fought bravely to kill Hu and showed his power. His responsibility was to herders and make good achievements to the people of the world, and they proved to the people of the world that the Wu people also had talents who ruled the country through the world. The generals had their own hometowns and helped them, and they both strengthened their military and political affairs. Of course, they were the best and the best!

With this feeling, Gu Chang traveled day and night. Although Hebei was still windy and snowy, it took less than ten days to arrive in Yecheng.

When Gu Chang arrived so quickly, Yecheng was also shocked. Zhang Tan, who was temporarily in charge of Weizhou's prefecture, hurried out to greet him, and sued him from afar: "Xingtai has not arrived for a long time, and he should be still on his way. Unexpectedly, he arrived at the city this day and came to see him hastily. It is really rude!"

Gu Chang was curious about looking at this surrendered general who was born in the Qinghe Zhang family. He saw that the other party was respectful and polite, and he did not have the reserve and arrogance that Hebei people should have. He was also proud of the great power of the general. No one in the world dared to underestimate them Wu people anymore.

Of course, Gu Chang did not neglect because of the other party's status as surrendered. He was the candidate for the people of Hebei to show the style and talent of Wu Shi. Naturally, there would be no shallowness of villains' success. The other party treated him with courtesy, so he naturally had to respond with courtesy. He smiled and said, "After using the king's affairs, how dare he be neglected? He would start to carry out lightly on the day of his teaching, just for fear that he would be too late to be lazy and criticized."

Both sides had first met, and even if they were courtesy, they would just stop. Zhang Tan asked Gu Chang for his opinion, and then personally led Gu Chang to Santai Camp to pay homage to the general. On the way, he was inevitably praised Gu Chang for his outstanding style, and he was indeed the best choice for the general.

Gu Chang naturally knew that the other party had many praising and flattery, but he was still happy after hearing this. He also said that he was just mediocre in the village. He was sent north to work because he did not delay Weizhou's entry into government affairs and was idle in Taiwan. He still had to rely on the tolerance and help of the Zhoujie and the rural areas.

While speaking, the group arrived at Santai Camp, but were told that the general was not in the camp at the moment, but went out to inspect early in the morning.

When Gu Chang learned of this situation, he was not in the mood to guard the camp, so he asked the soldiers left behind in the camp to lead him to find the general. As for Zhang Tan, he is currently in charge of the state affairs, and there is no formal settlement between them. The state affairs are quite busy, so he said goodbye and returned to the city.

So Gu Chang walked around the camp for another time under the guidance of the soldiers, and finally caught up with the general in a workshop.

Originally, in Gu Chang's imagination, the general was in charge of military command and supervising the battle, and must have been uniformly uniform and majestic. The fierce general Jing Cong was in and out. However, when he saw the general's current state, he was shocked.

This workshop is not very large in scale. It is built with a flat ground and a space of about a radius of space. Compared with the large workshops in Jiangdong, which often cover more than ten hectares of land and hundreds of thousands of craftsmen, it is really inconspicuous. Similar workshops are not uncommon around Yecheng and Santai Camp.

Large stoves were built in the workshop, some were still burning, and many craftsmen were busy. As for the general, he was wearing an inconspicuous gray robe and was discussing something with the craftsmen around him. If it weren't for the fact that several Bens were following and protecting him, Gu Chang could not even see the general at a glance.

He stopped the accompanying soldiers from coming forward to report to avoid disturbing the general. He stepped forward slowly, and the distance was several feet away, which had already aroused the alertness of the warriors beside the general. Everyone looked vigilant, slightly turned sideways, holding the equipment in his hand, ready to suddenly hurt people at any time.

The guard's vigilance attracted the attention of the general. He turned around and looked at Gu Chang who was holding back. He was embarrassed, but he did not recognize him immediately. This is not surprising. Now the number of officials in Xingtai is huge, and Gu Chang has been serving in Jiangdong for a long time, so it is naturally unfamiliar to the general.

Gu Chang felt a little disappointed when he was not recognized by the general at the first time, but when he saw the general walking towards him, he was inevitably nervous. For today's scholars in Jiangdong, the general's prestige was not the second choice. Although he did not have the prestige of the emperor, even if he was just a custom, his heroic and handsome appearance was still as bright as a pearl, which made the people of the village feel very honored.

The soldier who had been stopped by Gu Chang quickly stepped forward and whispered. The general looked at Gu Chang from a distance a few more times. His sharp eyes seemed to pierce Gu Chang's inside and outside like a sharp sword, and even his breathing became a little quicker. However, the sharp scrutiny was suspended and turned warmer. Then Gu Chang felt his face cold, and it turned out that cold sweat had appeared on his forehead without realizing it.

He hurriedly walked forward, holding his arms before he could speak, but saw the general waving his hand at him with a smile, and nodding his head to signal him to move forward.

Seeing this, Gu Chang could only put away his gifts and walked to the general's side. He then heard the general turn around and say to several craftsmen: "Since this method is different, you might as well try it again. I'll try it out in the past few days..."

After hearing this, the craftsmen all bowed their heads and responded, but they only called the general nobles, and they seemed to not know the true identity of the general. Gu Chang was curious about what techniques these craftsmen had that led the general to come to inspect in person. Just as they were about to look around, they turned around and saw that the general had already left and signaled him to follow him. So they suppressed their curiosity for the time being and rushed to follow him.

After traveling to the workshop and boarding the bus, the general smiled at Gu Chang again: "I thought Gu Jun would have to reach the end of the month, but I didn't expect that he would arrive in the middle of the month."

After hearing this, Gu Chang hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Everything in Hebei is urgent, how dare you act casually? After receiving the order, you can drive the moon and starry sky..."

The general raised his hand to interrupt Gu Chang's words: "It's a sudden loss of love, so it's a shame to Duke Jing. However, the love of the countryside is so heartfelt, and I would rather hurt the love than to give you a message to me. I also have high hopes for Gu Jun."

When Gu Chang heard this, cold sweat appeared on his forehead. I wonder if the general was dissatisfied because of the villagers' overly enthusiastic expression. You should know that his appointment alone had been blocked by Xingtai for more than half a month. He originally planned a candidate before the New Year because the villagers chose him and he hurriedly set off from Jiangdong and headed north, which could have been delayed from taking office.

"I don't know where the saying goes, sharpening a knife will not delay chopping wood. If you can really choose a good choice, it will make the state achieve twice the result with half the effort, and a few days of wasting time can be afforded. So I am not looking forward to Gu Jun, do you have confidence?"

"You must do your best to be humble and do your best! Please, boldly and respectfully ask the general to tolerate humble and seek hard work, and endure the pain and abandon the decline..."

When Shen Zhezi heard this, he raised his hand and patted Gu Chang's back, and said with emotion: "It is me who want to thank the fellow villagers for helping me with their sincere hearts and to be able to make progress. However, the worldly affairs are too complicated, and I have no time to turn to intimate in recent years."
