Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the next few days, Yuan Shao launched a series of strong attacks. Liu Bei relied on the bravery of his three generals, Pan, Zhang, and Hua, to fight against him. Qu Yi was a famous general in Jizhou and was good at training troops. He had ten thousand men under his command.  The soldiers are all brave and good at fighting.  Therefore, although Yuan Shao had many soldiers and generals, he was forced to stay in Wei County, which stopped Liu Bei and Qu Yi from invading Jizhou.

    Seeing that Yuan Shao was at loggerheads with Liu Bei and his army's rations were decreasing day by day, Yuan Shao was worried, so he approached Tian Feng for discussion.  In this regard, Tian Feng was also helpless. Yuan Shao's attack on Jizhou showed his ambition. Everyone in the neighboring princes was in danger, so how could he help him?  However, Guo Tu proposed to borrow grain from Hedong. After Hedong implemented farming, he accumulated a lot of grain and grass. He suggested that Yuan Shao could form an alliance with Wenhan first, and after he captured Jizhou in the future, he could give Hanoi to him.

    Although Yuan Shao had an old grudge with Wen Han, the shortage of food and grass was already burning his brow, and he had to put down his previous high profile.  He also asked who was suitable for the Guo Tu sect.  Guo Tu suggested again that Zhao Yun's master, Tong Yuan, was a good friend of Wen Han's grandfather, the horse trainer, and it would be most appropriate to send him there.

    After hearing this, Yuan Shao thought for a while, and then followed Guo Tu's plan and sent Zhao Yun to lead a team of 100 people to rush to Hedong to borrow food.

    However, it was said that the people in Hedong were preparing for the expedition against the Baibo bandits in Bingzhou. It was already 7788. After a period of recuperation, Wenhan's arrow wounds on his body were much better. At the same time, the soldiers in Hedong were also recharging their energy, sharpening their fists and fighting spirit.  , just waiting for the day of dispatching the army.

    In the prefect¡¯s palace, Wen Han was trying on the new jersey that Cai Yan had sewn for him. Cai Yan felt happy and satisfied when he saw Wen Han¡¯s heroic and heroic appearance after putting on the jersey.

    "Ahem."

    Wenhan put Cai Yan into his arms and was about to say sweet words, but Xilong coughed a few times outside the door. Suddenly Wenhan rolled his eyes and gave Cai Yan an apologetic look.  With a blush on his face, he smiled gently at Wenhan again, indicating that Wenhan should do business first.

    "Xi Zhicai, you'd better have something urgent to do, otherwise I won't be able to spare you."

    "My lord, this new robe is gorgeous and majestic. It seems that it must have been made by my wife. My lord, getting this wife is really a blessing that took three lifetimes to cultivate."

    "Okay, put your clothes away. What's the important thing?"

    Suddenly, Xilong stopped smiling and his face darkened.

    "My lord, Yuan Shao sent someone over."

    "Yuan Shao? Doesn't he always look down on me, a humble family member like me? It's surprising that he would send someone here. Zhicai, what do you think he wants?"

    "I heard that Yuan Benchu's 50,000-strong army was blocked in Wei County by Liu Bei and Jizhou General Qu Yi's 16,000 soldiers and horses. Now they are still at a stalemate. With such a large number of soldiers, Yuan Benchu's daily consumption of food and grass must be a  An astonishing number. If my guess is correct, he must want to borrow food."

    "Huh!! What a wishful thinking!! Ever since I met Yuan Benchu, he has been trying to kill me many times. If the war hadn't been ahead of us now, I might have gone to capture Hanoi to avenge old grudges. He also wanted me to borrow food.  To help him achieve his power? Does he really think that I, Wen Bufan, am a fool?"

    "However, the lord may as well meet with the people he sent to see what medicine Yuan Benchu ??is selling in the gourd. He also knows that the lord hates him, but he still sends people to borrow food, so he must have some control."

    "No more!"

    Wenhan frowned, remembering that Yuan Shao wanted to kill him again and again in the past, and he was filled with the fire of ignorance, and left with a flick of his sleeves.

    Xilong raised his eyebrows, but Wenhan was missing, so he couldn't persuade him any more. Then he thought about what Yuan Shao wanted to pay in exchange for grain from Hedong.

    After a while, Xilong¡¯s eyes lit up as if he thought of something, and then he murmured a few words and left.  Afterwards, Xilong sent someone to inform Zhao Yun that Wenhan was unwell and asked Zhao Yun to stay for a few more days.

    Zhao Yunjian frowned, and then he understood in his heart that Zhao Yun had heard a lot about the old grudges between Wen Han and Yuan Shao when he was under Yuan Shao. Of course, he did not hear everything. He only knew that the two had many differences due to the difference in status.  Discord.

    Seeing that he was free now, Zhao Yun left the post and wandered around Anyi City.  Zhao Yun walked along the way and saw the busy traffic in Anyi City. The people coming and going had happy and satisfied smiles on their faces, and the city was full of joy and bustle.  I sighed repeatedly in my heart, and then asked an old man why there was so much joy in Anyi City. It didn't seem to be in troubled times at all.

    The old man told him that since Wen Han became the governor of Hedong and took away the power of the wealthy bureaucrats in Hedong, he greatly reduced taxes. Then his subordinate Zhang Hong was a strict and fair man, and strictly enforced the integrity of officials. Once they were found to be collecting benefits,  , even if it is a single thread, he will be severely punished, ranging from being removed from his official position to being driven out of Hedong.

    After that, Wenhan joined forces with the Wei family in Hedong and the Henan?The major wealthy businessmen focused on developing commerce, and then took the lead in curbing rising prices. Prices in Hedong are the lowest among all states and counties in the world.

    At the same time, what makes the old man most happy is the promotion of farming.  Since the implementation of farming, every household in Hedong has a field to cultivate and a lot of income every year.  Moreover, the old man's son also served as a hundred-man general in Wenhan's army. The salary in Wenhan's army was extremely high. The old man's family has now accumulated a lot of wealth, and like him, there are 70% of people in every household in the east of the river.  They are all willing to send their sons into the army.

    The old man was a talker. As soon as he opened his mouth, he kept Zhao Yun talking. Later, he even talked about what he heard from his son, Wen Han's promotion system in the army.  It is said that in the Hedong Army, regardless of status or family background, there is no nepotism. As long as you have merit, you will be rewarded. The system is clear.  Everything is judged based on personal strength, qualifications, record, and experience.  In other words, as long as you have the ability and survive in the Hedong Army, you will definitely get a high position.

    The old man chuckled and talked about his son again. He told Zhao Yun that his son might be promoted to captain next year.  The old man's eyes were filled with hope and beauty.  After hearing this, several old men nearby also came over and talked about their sons, and even compared them.

    Zhao Yun looked at the few old men and felt a huge wave in his heart. If it is true as the old man said just now, then Hedong is really a paradise on earth in today's troubled times. The people live and work in peace and contentment, have savings in their hands, and have a bright and bright future.  Real longing.

    Zhao Yun lowered his head in deep thought, and unknowingly all the old men around him left.  The sky was slightly dark, and a small boat was passing by in the small river next to it. The man in the boat was singing an unknown song.

    Suddenly, five burly men dressed sneakily, wearing straw hats and black gauze, walked towards Zhao Yun in a hurry.  Zhao Yun was still thinking about things and didn't realize it. When those big men passed by Zhao Yun, a certain big man with triangular eyes bumped into Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun was such a man, and his muscles were like steel. The big man felt as if he had hit a city wall and retreated continuously.  After a few steps, there was a bang and the hidden knife fell down.

    "You bastard! If you don't have eyes, you are looking for death!!"

    The big man with triangular eyes quickly picked up the knife on the ground. He suddenly felt evil and wanted to kill Zhao Yun.  Zhao Yun narrowed his sharp eyes, and a surge of momentum surged, like a huge wave hitting the big man with triangular eyes.

    "Er Zhuzi, stop!!"

    The big man named Er Zhuzi took a step back in fright, just as one of his companions came over and snatched away Er Zhuzi's sword.  Then gave him another hard look.

    "This hero, my brother was ignorant and offended you. I apologize to you here. I hope there are many heroes who can bypass his recklessness."

    The big man who spoke had the demeanor of a leader. When he saw Zhao Yun's extraordinary bearing and terrifying edge, he knew that this person was definitely not an ordinary person.  Da Han and his group still had important things to do. If they offended Zhao Yun, they would probably ruin their important things.

    Zhao Yun put away the aura from his body and stared at these big men coldly for a while, then without saying a word, he just waved his hand casually.

    After the big man bowed to Zhao Yun and saluted, he led the people away.  Zhao Yun saw that these people were moving sneakily and carrying weapons. They must be doing something shady, so he followed them covertly.

    "Brother, why do you have to apologize to that yellow-haired boy? If he were in Bingzhou, I would dig out his arrogant dog eyes."

    The big man named Er Zhuzhu had a sinister look in his eyes. Thinking of Zhao Yun's terrifying and sharp eyes just now, his heart was still beating.

    "Two pillars! Let me remind you that we have great responsibilities. Guo Tianshi has repeatedly warned us that we are not allowed to cause trouble in Hedong, and everything we do must be based on what Guo Tianshi has entrusted us to do. As long as we catch that girl Zhou Yuhan, we will order Wen  If you don't throw a rat weapon, he will never dare to attack Bingzhou again."

    "Brother, is this reliable? Just one girl can make Wen Bufan give up the entire Bingzhou?"

    "Hmph, the Heavenly Master's instructions make sense. But I have also heard that Wen Bufan is an emotional person and cares most about the people around him. This week Yuhan is an orphan he adopted from the refugees in his early years. Wen Bufan is very emotional.  Bufan almost died trying to save her when he was still in Luoyang. Later, the orphan was adopted as an adopted daughter by Wen Bufan and his eldest brother, who regarded her as the apple of his eye and loved her very much. "

    "This week Yuhan is really lucky. Hehe, but her good luck ends here. Before I came here, I heard from the wealthy people in Hedong that although this week Yuhan is only sixteen years old, she is stunningly beautiful and as beautiful as a flower.  I don¡¯t know how many young men in Hedong are obsessed with her and regard her as Hedong¡¯s treasure. After we catch her, we will give it a try. Of course, only the eldest brother is qualified to get her virginity.¡±

    "Two pillars, put them away"??That lust!  Zhou Yuhan's matter is of great importance, and no one can touch her even before Tianshi Guo makes a decision.  Otherwise, don¡¯t blame me for being ruthless!  !  "

    The second pillar was yelled at by the big man he called eldest brother. When the second pillar saw that his elder brother was angry, he didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore. He shut up and followed his elder brother on a brisk walk.

    Zhao Yun followed them and vaguely heard their conversation. He probably knew that they were going to do something bad to a woman. His face became a little colder and he followed closely.

    After a while, these people came into contact with several people who were gorgeously dressed and could tell at a glance that they were either rich or noble.  After a few big men talked with these people for a while, they turned into a corner.

    Zhao Yun followed them all the way, followed them to the back door of a Taoist temple, and then walked into the Taoist temple in a sneaky way.  Zhao Yun frowned, and after waiting for a while, he jumped into the Taoist temple.

    Zhao Yun was as light as a swallow. Just as he landed, he heard a chaotic sound of fighting coming from the Taoist temple, followed by countless screams and panicked footsteps.  After a while, there was the sound of sinister laughter.

    "Hehe! Girl, you'd better be wiser, otherwise I'll hurt your delicate body later, so don't blame me for not showing mercy to you!"

    At this time, Zhou Yuhan was surrounded by several big men with swords. She had come to the Taoist temple today to pray for Wen Han, who was about to go to Bingzhou.  But he didn't expect that he would be punished by evil people.  As soon as these evil men rushed in, they killed several of the guards who were protecting Zhou Yuhan.

    "Why did you kill people? They are all innocent!!"

    Zhou Yuhan did not show any fear when facing several blades that were glowing with cold light. Instead, he showed sadness for the dead guards.

    "Hehehe. What a kind-hearted girl, and now she still cares about these dead people."

    Er Zhuzhu laughed ferociously again, holding a knife and trying to grab Zhou Yuhan.  Zhou Yuhan took a few steps back and leaned against the wall. When he saw the big man approaching, a look of determination appeared on his face.

    "Why do you want to arrest me!?"

    Seeing that Zhou Yuhan had no way to retreat, Erzhuzi's ferocious smile grew even louder. Listening to her coquettish words, his pair of triangular eyes kept showing lewd looks, as if he wanted to strip Zhou Yuhan completely.
