How to make good use of instant noodles that can be assisted by the cheating system?

While Zhang Zhi was racking his brains to calculate this problem, a voice from his confidant following Zhang Zheng suddenly came from outside the door, saying, "Young Master, Zhu Tun Chief, Zhao Tun Chief and others have arrived, and the Cao officials in our county are almost here. The Fu County Magistrate asked the young man to report and ask you to go out and preside over the big event."

At this time, it is of course more important to discuss with the civil and military officials of the county to raise an army to fight against Wei, so Zhang Zhi could only put the golden finger of how to use instant noodles aside and open the door to preside over the overall situation. During this period, Zhang Jian also saw the instant noodles neatly placed on the ground. When asked Zhang Zhi curious about what it was, Zhang Zhi, who had not yet thought about how to explain it, could only answer like this: "Don't worry about it first, and then tell you what it is later."

Zhang Zheng was loyal and obedient. After hearing this answer, he didn't dare to ask more questions. Zhang Zhize said in his heart: "We have to find a way to explain the source of instant noodles. How can we explain it to be reasonable?"

Considering this issue, Zhang Zhi led Zhang Jian back to the front hall. It happened that when Zhang Zhi entered the hall, all the main civil and military officials in Wulian County had arrived. In addition to the two village chiefs of Zhu Xiang and Zhao Quan, there were also households, Ci, thieves, merits, fields, Jin, and Wei, and nine Cao officials were gathered, all of whom were absent.

It made Zhang Zhi feel relieved. Although he was full of worry and had tears on his face, Zhang Jiu, the head of the Cao Cao, still stayed in the hall. Seeing Zhang Zhi coming in, Zhang Jiu even stood up with everyone to salute, with a complicated look.

"You don't have to be polite, please don't give me a gift." Zhang Zhi bowed and returned the gift. While sitting in front of the main seat, he greeted: "Please sit down and talk."

According to Zhang Zhi's request, everyone sat down again. Zhang Zhi also said straight to the point: "Today, I suddenly invited all Cao officials and two generals to come. There is a big thing to tell you. The news I just received was that our Annan General Huo Yi, who was responsible for the national grace, had announced that he would lead the soldiers and civilians of the seven counties of Nanzhong to surrender to the Wei people, and also asked that all the sixty-three cities of Nanzhong seven counties be replacing the flag of the Wei Kingdom."

"What? Surrender to the Wei people?!"

In addition to Zhang Ju and Fu Gong who had already known the situation, the two generals and nine Cao officials in Wulian County who were present screamed in shock, and none of them had changed their faces - but none of them questioned the truth or falsehood of the news. After all, the general situation of Shu Han was already out of reach, and none of Wulian's civil and military officials who were present had already known it.

"Yes, General Annan personally ordered that all seven counties in Nanzhong will change their flags and surrender. Chen Can, the prefect of our Ke County, has also given an order to this official, requiring that the official change his flags immediately and hand over the household registration list of Wulian County."

Zhang Zhi calmly retelled the situation and said, "However, I have torn down the handwritten order of Chen Taishou, and the messenger he sent was also driven back to Qilan by me."

Needless to say, when everyone present heard this, they naturally had a big uproar. In addition to Fu Gong and Zhang Ju who were informed in advance, the two village chiefs and nine Cao officials in Wulian County were not looking at Zhang Zhi with incredible eyes, and they all thought to themselves that you were crazy? The situation has reached this point, and you dare to tear down the order of Prefect Chen’s surrender?

"Don't be surprised, everyone."

Zhang Zhi said: "I know you must be wondering if I am crazy? The Han Dynasty has become like this. Why do I still have to be stubborn and insist on burying the Han Dynasty with me? I can tell you the answer now. Not only am I not crazy, I am also very sober."

"I am a minister of the Han Dynasty, born as a man of the Han Dynasty, and die as a ghost of the Han Dynasty." Zhang Zhi slowed down his voice and said with a serious expression: "With the grace of the court, I have come to this small county in Wulian to serve as the county magistrate. I should do my duty and responsibility to protect the city, land, military, civilians and people of Wulian County for Your Majesty and the Han Dynasty, and repay the Han Dynasty's country to the death. Even if I am broken into pieces, I will never frown. In this case, how can I do something to betray the Lord and surrender to the Wei people?"

"So I have made a decision, that is, I will never obey the order of surrender, insist on continuing to hold high the banner of the Han Dynasty, raise an army to recover the lost territory of the Han Dynasty, welcome your Majesty back, and revive my Han Dynasty!"

Zhang Zhi said again: "Everyone, I hope you can always forget the kindness of the Han Dynasty's nationality, and help me expand my army and prepare for war. He led the traitors of the Southern Central who surrendered and soldiered the country to fight to the end. He first restored Nanzhong, then regained the entire territory of Yizhou, and finally launched troops to the north to attack the Central Plains again and rebuilt the Han Dynasty!"

Hearing this, Wu Lianshi Caoguan and the two camp leaders were dumbfounded, and they all suspected that they had heard it wrong. Only the county magistrate Fu Gong applauded vigorously and shouted loudly: "The Ming court said it very well. As a subject of the Han Dynasty, we should swear to serve the country to the death. We must not surrender to the Wei people. We should also be indomitable and revive our Han Dynasty with all our might! Please rest assured that the Ming court will raise our troops to restore the country. I, Fu Gong, will raise our hands to support us and follow the Ming court and the Wei people to the end! Swear to death!"

Only Fu Gong applauded and immediately spoke up to express his support. But all the other Wu Lianwen and Wu looked silent and had a complicated expression. Zhang Zhi was inevitably guilty when he saw this. He knew that these people had neither confidence nor courage, but Zhang Zhi still asked: "Everyone, the county magistrate Fu has expressed his feelings. I don't know what you mean? Are you willing to follow me to raise an army and restore the country?"

The atmosphere in the front hall was so dull that it was so quiet that even a needle fell to the ground could be heard clearly. Perhaps no one had spoken for a long time. Fu Gong was furious and roared, clenched his fists and roared: "Why don't you talk? Why don't you talk? Are you willing to follow the Ming court to raise an army to restore the country? Do you speak up?!"

There was still no one saying a word. Fu Gong was even furious when he saw it. He simply pointed at Zhao Quan with his hand and shouted: "Chief Zhao Tun, why don't you even speak? When you heard the news of Your Majesty's surrender last time, weren't you so much that you drew your sword and cut the stone? Do you only have the courage to cut the stone and dare not cut the sword on the Wei people?"

His lips trembled for a moment, and then Zhao Quan bowed and said, "Don't worry, since you have decided to raise an army to restore the country, then Zhao Quan is a Han general and should follow him with all his strength."

"This is almost the same." Fu Gong snorted, pointed to another governor Zhu Xiang and said, "Zhu Tun Chief, it's your turn. You have come from a small man to the governor's position, and you have received no less favor than others. When Your Majesty surrendered, you shed tears. Are you willing to report the Ming court to raise an army?"

After hesitating for a while, Zhu Xiang then said, "The last general is willing to follow the Ming court to raise an army. At worst, he will send his life away."

"This sentence is still human words. What's the point of death? Diving for the country will be remembered forever!" Fu Gong hummed again, then pointed to the official Wu Lianshi Cao led by Zhang Ju, and shouted: "What do you say? Are you willing to follow the Ming court to raise an army?"

Nine Cao officials except Zhang Ju secretly peeked at the reaction of his colleagues, and none of them dared to speak out. Zhang Ju hesitated for a moment, and then bowed to Zhang Zhi and said, "Ming Court, I am fifty-two years old and have not had much time. It's okay to lose this life. But Ming Court, have you considered it clearly? You are only twenty-one years old this year, and it's when you are young and strong. Your father and two younger brothers are still in Luocheng, Yizhou. You are here to raise an army to restore the country. What should they do?"

Zhang Ju reminded him, Zhang Zhicai suddenly remembered that his new body, and a father and two younger brothers were in Luocheng, Yizhou, which was the biggest concern and hidden danger of his rebellion to fight Wei. Fortunately, Zhang Zhi was very anxious and whispered a little. Tears quickly appeared in his eyes. He choked and said, "Uncle Zhang, my nephew's biological father and two younger brothers are now in Yizhou. But Uncle Zhang, please don't forget that Jiang Wei, the general of our great Han, decided to use the Wei general Zhong Hui to raise an army to restore the country, his wife and children were all in Chengdu! The general can abandon his wife and children for the sake of the country, let alone my little Wu Lian as the acting county magistrate?"

As he said that, two lines of tears slowly flowed in Zhang Zhi's eyes, and he choked and said, "Besides, since the fall of Luocheng, my nephew has lost contact with his father and brother. I don't know if they have died in the war, so now I don't care about them."

Seeing Zhang Zhi crying with emotion, Zhang Ju couldn't help but burst into tears and wiped his eyes and said, "Okay, since you are so good at nephew, you can even take care of your father and younger brother for the sake of the country. What else can I worry about, half of my body is already buried in the soil? Please rest assured that from now on, my life is yours. I will do whatever you want me to do! At worst, I can just pay this life."

After saying that, Zhang Ju turned to the other nine Cao officials in Wulian County and said, "My colleagues, please decide. If you are willing to stay and follow the Ming court to raise an army to restore the country, please speak up. If you don't want to, you can leave now and take your wife, children, and leave Wulian City to Qilan to be exempted from punishment. The Ming court is magnanimous, and I think he will never stop you."

"Uncle Zhang's words are mine." Zhang Zhi also said: "Please decide. If you are willing to follow me to raise an army and restore the country, please stay. If you don't want to stay, you can leave now and leave Wulian City today. I will never stop you."

It’s okay, there are really two of the remaining nine Caos. After hesitating for a while, Hu Cao was the first to speak, gritting his teeth and saying, “The worst thing is that the head is the land! In order to repay the great kindness of the court, the Ming court, the subordinates will follow you!”

"Ming Court, the officials are willing to follow." Jin Cao also spoke, but his voice was not firm.

Zhang Zhi nodded, bowed to Jin Cao and Hu Cao to thank him, and then asked the remaining seven Caos about the decision. As a result, the resignation of Cao Cao and Tian Cao, who was in charge of the lawsuit, were timid and afraid of death. He left the seat and bowed to Zhang Zhi one after another, then turned around and left without saying a word, showing his withdrawal with practical actions. The remaining five Caos hesitated and finally chose to express their willingness to follow Zhang Zhi to raise an army to restore the country.

Of course, although the remaining five Cao officials spoke willingly to support him, they all said in their hearts: "When the county sends troops to quell the rebellion, you, a young boy who doesn't know how to be tall and strong, will be defeated and killed. The official will immediately surrender to the county and then say that we were forced to rise up by you and Fu Gong."

Seeing that only two of the twelve civil and military officials chose to leave timidly, Fu Gong, who supported Zhang Zhi the most resolute, was of course quite happy. Zhang Zhi, who had been observing the expressions of everyone, complained in his heart and said to himself: "Oh no, the morale is too low. Except for Fu Gong and Uncle Zhang, no one of them can have a loyalty of more than 60. When Jing Ke County sends troops to attack Wulian County, these people are afraid that they may open the city gate at any time to surrender to the enemy and exchange my head for their whole family for immortality."
