Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 24 Letter from Yuan Shao

After Zhang finished reading the four documents, he handed them back to his wife.

Madam raised her pink chin and said, "After reading this information, what do you say?"

Zhang Sui pondered for a moment before saying, "As a native of Yanmen County, based on my past experience and this intelligence, I think the current situation is roughly like this."

"First, the battlefield will not be launched in our Zhongshan County."

"Second, Yanmen Commander Yan Rou opened the city gates, welcomed the Xianbei people into the city, and united with them. Their goal should be Jizhou. Their target should be Gongsun Zan."

"Third, since this war will not start in our Zhongshan County, there is no need to stockpile food. Moreover, with the start of the war in Jizhou, more refugees will enter the city."

"Once there are too many refugees, it will pose a huge challenge to public security."

"As a famous family in Wuji County, our Zhen family cannot take advantage of the opportunity to hoard grain. We must open our granaries to help the refugees."

"At the same time, send troops to increase patrols."

"First, let the refugees see that it is not easy to break through our Zhen family's defenses."

"Secondly, we can win over some people by opening up granaries and providing relief to refugees."

“Everyone is afraid of death.”

"As long as they have food to eat, the refugees will not risk rebellion."

"We have helped some of the refugees, and these refugees will not allow other refugees to raid our Zhen family."

"Compared to us, they prefer to raid other noble families that have stockpiled food and fodder."

The lady looked at Zhang Sui.

This personal recorder really has some abilities.

He actually recognized all the characters on these four documents.

Moreover, we can also give certain suggestions.

only--

Madam asked suspiciously, "Why are you so sure that the battle will not take place in our Zhongshan County?"

Zhang Sui scratched his head.

This is naturally recorded in history books!

According to historical records, the fundamental purpose of Yanmen County general Yan Rou opening the city gate and welcoming the Xianbei people into the city was to avenge Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou.

As a relative of the Han royal family, Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, was quite famous in the Youzhou area.

In other words, although the Han Dynasty was about to perish, its influence still remained.

At least, he still has a certain reputation among the soldiers and Hu people on the border.

Yuan Shao also took advantage of this and used his status as a third-generation official to make friends with many Hu people.

Thinking of this, Zhang Sui lied without blushing, "I grew up in Yanmen County, and I often heard that although the Hu people often cause chaos, they are still afraid of the Han people."

"And the governor of Youzhou was killed by Gongsun Zan just last year."

"Therefore, I guess the generals of Youzhou Mu will definitely be unwilling to accept this."

"But if they fight alone, they can't defeat Gongsun Zan who now occupies Youzhou. Therefore, the best way is to open the city gates and welcome the Hu people, including the Xianbei, into the city to fight against Gongsun Zan together."

“So, on their way to escape, the common people will meet the Xianbei people together with our Han army soldiers.”

"As for the Han army soldiers raping and killing civilians, how can I explain it? Madam is not in Yanmen County, so she may not be very clear about the moral conduct of these frontier soldiers."

"These frontier soldiers have killed innocent people for their own merits many times."

"Especially now that the world is in chaos, the court cannot control them."

"In fact, during the food shortage, those border commanders directly kept the nearby civilians in captivity."

"I usually help build fortifications."

"When food and fodder were insufficient, they were slaughtered and used as human jerky."

"They also gave these people a name, two-legged sheep."

The lady's face turned a little pale.

She had heard of it.

However, she remained skeptical.

Now, after hearing what Zhang Sui said, she realized that some situations were more serious than she had imagined.

Madam asked Zhang Sui to wait for a while while she sent for the second young lady Zhen Mi to come over. As the second young lady Zhen Mi grew up, many of her views were different from others.

Not long after, the second lady Zhen Mi rushed over.

After reading the four documents, the second lady Zhen Mi listened to her ladyship's expression of Zhang Sui's opinion and looked at Zhang Sui strangely.

This scoundrel actually has such insight!

Second Miss Zhen Mi said, "My daughter also agrees with his opinion."

The lady breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhang Sui and said, "How about this, Zhang Sui, you will be responsible for opening the warehouses to distribute grain this time? Let me see if you have the ability to do it. If you do, I will be relieved to entrust you with more things in the future."

The second young lady Zhen Mi then said anxiously, "Mother, no! This scoundrel has just been promoted to the position of personal secretary, and you let him do such a thing? If he fails, how much trouble will this bring to our Zhen family?"

The lady asked back, "Who should go then? You? Or your second brother?"

"You also know what your second brother is like."

"You, the number of refugees has increased dramatically nowadays, and I am worried about you, a girl, going out."

The second lady Zhen Mi gritted her teeth.

Finally, she lowered her head.

At the moment, there is really no one else in the mansion who is more suitable to do this.

When the lady saw the second young lady Zhen Mi's appearance, she smiled at Zhang Sui and said, "Just go ahead and do it."

"I'm telling you this, Zhang Sui."

"As long as you show your talent, I won't let you down."

Zhang Sui said: "Okay!"

The lady stood up, took a sword from the weapon rack in the room, handed it to Zhang Sui and said, "Take this sword. With this sword, you can command the servants in the army and warehouse."

Zhang Sui thanked him again.

Madam continued, "You go and do this first. When you are done with this period of time, I will continue to help you get familiar with other affairs of the Zhen family."

Zhang Sui thanked him and left with his sword.

Second Miss Zhen Mi watched Zhang Sui leave, frowning and saying, "Mother, he just arrived and you asked him to do such an important thing. I'm afraid he will get carried away in the future!"

Madam sighed and said, "If he really has this ability, it doesn't matter if he gets a little carried away."

"The current situation of our Zhen family is that no one can shoulder this responsibility."

After a pause, the lady continued, "Also, have you forgotten the letter that Jizhou Mu wrote to me before? He wanted to take me as a concubine. He was extremely hypocritical in the letter, saying that our Zhen family has no man who can hold up the family in this chaotic world."

"And he and your father were close friends when they were alive."

"He is willing to help look after our Zhen family for your father's sake."

The lady looked a little sad and asked, "Do you know what this means?"

Second Miss Zhen Mixiu clenched her fists and shouted in a low voice, "Shameless man! He wants to use the method he used to rob Han Fu, the former governor of Jizhou, to rob our Zhen family!"

"Yuan Shao is the most shameless person in the world!"

"He wants to marry mother, not only because he covets her beauty, but also because he wants to swallow up our Zhen family openly!"

The second young lady Zhen Mi said with tears in her beautiful eyes: "It's a pity that the second brother's ability is mediocre."

"If my daughter were a man, how could she tolerate him being so arrogant?"

The lady shook her head and said, "You are not a man!"

"I was thinking before that if your second brother could stand up, then he would be in charge of the Zhen family."

"Your second brother can't stand up, so I will pretend to agree to Jizhou Mu's request."

"After you get married, I will go to the Jizhou Mu family and commit suicide that night."

"In this way, due to worldly concerns, he would be too embarrassed to directly attack your brother and three sisters."

"By the time he wanted to take action, your three sisters had already been married off."

"Your second elder brother and younger brother are so mediocre that they can't protect the family business. Then just keep your lives and hand over the Zhen family."

"As long as our Zhen family has descendants, there will always be a chance to regain our family property."

The second lady Zhen Mi looked at the lady in a daze.
