Shuozhou.
Sun Jizong, the commander of Shuozhou Zhechoufu, was already getting restless at this moment.
Early in the morning, someone came to inform him that the court had appointed a captain to pacify the enemy and command the troops of seven prefectures.
And his Shuozhou was one of those prefectures, under the control of this Pinglu Commandant.
In order to find out the situation and decide on a side, Sun Jizong immediately sent someone to Jinyang to ask Pei Lun for some information.
As Pei Lun's close confidant, Sun Jizong naturally acted recklessly.
Pei Lun entrusted him with the management of the most important prefecture in Hedong Road, which was enough to show how much Pei Lun valued Sun Jizong.
However, Sun Jizong's men went to Jinyang, and Pei Lun never saw them at all.
When asked, he said that he led troops to Guannei Road to quell the rebellion.
The people Sun Jizong sent to Jinyang to inquire had to return in disappointment.
Not knowing who his new boss was, Sun Jizong could only use the same standards as he had used in the past to receive Pei Lun.
Early in the morning, he led a group of civil and military officials from Shuozhou to line up at the south gate of Shuozhou City.
However, Sun Jizong waited for a whole morning and sent people to inquire from the south, but he could not see a single person.
Just when I was wondering, someone reported that a lot of people were coming from the west.
Sun Jizong was stunned. Could it be that the newly appointed Pinglu Commandant was promoted from Guannei Road?
His mind raced as fast as lightning, and he hurried to the west gate with a large group of people.
Soon, Du Wei, the commander of Yanzhou, hurried over with several centurions and trusted officers.
The newly appointed Pinglu Captain ordered him to reach Shuozhou within three days without any delay.
Du Wei immediately left behind a brave captain to lead his troops to garrison the provincial capital and guard against the rebels in the south.
He himself set off without stopping with his trusted associates and headed straight for Shuozhou.
New official takes office with three major tasks!
I don't know what will happen to others, but if I delay the opportunity, the newly appointed Pinglu Captain will definitely find out!
Dewey certainly would not make this mistake.
He arrived on horseback outside Shuozhou City with a dozen people, but found that the western city gate was wide open and a group of civil and military officials were lining the streets to welcome them.
Hedong Road is indeed a place of hospitality and etiquette!
In order to welcome guests from other states, such a grand ceremony and display was put on.
This made Dewey feel more concerned, and he couldn't help but admire Shuozhou's ability to handle things.
Dewey bowed on his horse and saluted the Shuozhou officials on his left and right.
The officials of Shuozhou also bowed to Dewey with a smile.
"This is too enthusiastic. The next time the provincial government of Hedong Road comes to our Yanzhou for an inspection, we must make every effort to show our support."
"Even if it can't exceed the current specifications, it can't be worse than those in Shuozhou."
Dewey gave earnest instructions to his followers.
"Okay, sir, we will definitely keep this in mind."
The followers hurriedly agreed loudly.
At this moment, among the officials lining the streets to welcome him, a general, wearing Dayin's standard armor, whose fat body was about to break, rolled towards Dewey.
Yes, this person is indeed too fat, and when he walks he looks like a rolling ball of meat.
I heard that Shuozhou is also an important border town in Hedong Road. Why would they appoint such a fat man as the commander?
Could such a fat person have any outstanding qualities?
Just as Dewey was confused, Rouqiu spoke first, and with his followers, he recited respectfully:
"Hedong Dao Shuozhou Prefecture Commandant Sun Jizong respectfully welcomes the arrival of the Captain!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Dewey immediately felt embarrassed on the horse, his heart already surging with emotions.
No wonder they made such a grand scene. It turned out that Lord Sun from Shuozhou Prefecture mistook Du Wei for the newly appointed Pinglu Commandant.
"Master Sun, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
Du Wei quickly dismounted and came before Sun Jizong. "We are not the Captain of the Suppression of the Enemy, but the Captain of the Zhechou Commandery of Yanzhou Prefecture in the Guannei Road."
What!
The smile on Sun Jizong's plump, fair face froze immediately. He then stood up straight, his face full of arrogance and anger. "Master Du, you're joking too much! You made us all think you were a captain!"
"I was just about to dismount to inform you, but you bowed down to us as soon as you saw us, without even giving me a chance to explain!" Dewey was clearly feeling aggrieved.
"Where on earth did the Captain come from?"
Sun Jizong, who had given a great gift to his equal Dewey for nothing, was furious and shouted at everyone around him.
Yanzhou is just a low-level Zhechoufu in Guannei Road, while Shuozhou is a high-level Zhechoufu in Hedong Road. Why should they be treated so politely?
Thinking of this, Sun Jizong became angry.
Everyone on both sides looked bewildered and confused.
"Useless, a bunch of useless people. They can't even find out the direction the captain is coming from."
Sun Jizong cursed at the general in charge of the scout camp.
The centurion of the scout camp was also unable to speak out his pain.
Sun Jizong himself couldn't find out who the newly appointed Pinglu Captain was, so how could he, a scout in the army, find out?
"Report, Commander-in-Chief, over a thousand soldiers are approaching three miles from the north gate, carrying banners with the Chinese character Zhao on them, and heading towards our city."
At this moment, a rider came hurriedly and reported to Sun Jizong.
Zhao?
Could it be Zhao Muyun who previously served as the commander of Yinzhou?
A hint of viciousness flashed across Sun Jizon's face.
Previously, he was riding a horse on the streets of Shuozhou City. Because Zhao Muyun and Shi Yong did not let him go in the street, Sun Jizong's horse was frightened and threw Sun Jizong off.
Then Bai Sheng, the young master of the Bai family, added fuel to the fire and said all kinds of faults of Zhao Muyun.
So Sun Jizong cooperated with Bai Sheng to release Zhang Biao who was imprisoned in Shuozhou Prison, and revealed the specific location of Tongfu Inn where Zhao Muyun was staying, making it easier for Zhang Biao to take a group of desperate men to attack Zhao Muyun.
