Zhang Jun hadn't slept all night and was already exhausted. After reading the letter with Zhao Ding beside the brazier, he finally became furious. "I suffered all the hardship and fatigue! But this guy ate all the meat!"
Since General Zhang was furious, all the officers who had rushed here, including Tian Shizhong and Liu Bao, naturally started to use foul language and denounce Han Shizhong.
Besides, the style of the Song Dynasty army has always been like this, and everyone came from the Western Army. They have seen countless dirty things over the years. In addition, the emperor is right across the street at this time, so Han Wu can only show off his power in this way. After all, he is not really harming his neighbors, so after a burst of dirty words, no one took it seriously and prepared to leave with General Zhang cursing.
However, at this moment, Zhao Ding, who had already read the letter several times but had not said anything, suddenly became furious and shouted in a stern voice:
"Write a letter to impeach him! All the officers above the rank of captain in the city, please join me in impeaching Han Shizhong! It's already this hour, and the Western Army is still holding on to their own prejudices. I don't believe that the government deliberately let him wait until now to deliver the letter! If the government doesn't make Han Shizhong give an explanation to us in Xiacai, I, Zhao Ding, the prefect, will be the first to jump off this Shuimen watchtower!"
All the officers from Xiacai City, including General Zhang, who were about to disperse, turned back and cried out in surprise.
"My fellow comrades!" Zhao Ding, who was already over 40 years old, was still wearing his green robe that he hadn't changed for who knows how long. He was standing proudly in front of the brazier on the city wall, but he had no manner of a civil official. Instead, he patted his chest and pointed to the sky, speaking with sincerity. "As long as I, Zhao Ding, am in Caicheng, I will never let you suffer any injustice... I may not be able to fight, but as the governor of Shouzhou, I have no choice but to do such a small matter!"
"I should have thought of that earlier!"
Amidst the clamor of praise, Tian Shizhong shook his head repeatedly, but whispered to his father-in-law, "Nowadays, there are already many hidden talents on both sides of the Huai River in Shouzhou... Why not let Zhao Zhizhou be in charge of military rations in the future?"
"I've suffered all the hardships..." Zhang Jun muttered in a low voice, but seeing Zhao Ding's dirty robe, he didn't say the rest of the sentence, but instinctively changed the subject. "Now that things have come to this, let's share the joys and sorrows!"
