Zhao Hanzhang said sternly, "I understand the General's concerns, so Hanzhang is willing to lend the Yu Province to aid you."
Gou Xi's eyes narrowed slightly, showing some interest, "Oh?"
Zhao Hanzhang said, "Currently, it is I who oversee the affairs of Yu Province."
Gou Xi did not refute this point because he had received information that Inspector He was already dead.
He was severely injured, and his wounds had deteriorated to the extreme. On the seventh day after Zhao Hanzhang came out, he fell into a high fever and coma. He awoke briefly midway, summoning Zhao Kuan, Zhao Ju, and Xun Xiu, ordering them to keep his death a secret and to pretend he was merely too ill to appear in public.
All matters in Yu Province followed Zhao Hanzhang's orders.
Zhao Hanzhang led two thousand troops to lure away most of the Xiongnu soldiers surrounding Yu Province's defenses, weakening the Xiongnu's attack significantly. Xun Xiu and others were thus able to hold Yu Province.
