    Chapter 420: The end of the year when we are abroad

    "Sima Yi in Hanoi, see Zhongshan Gong." In Wuji, in the Zhoumu Mansion, Sima Yi, who had just entered the city, immediately came to see Zhen Yao.  Seeing his serious and respectful look, it was hard to tell that this guy had refused Zhen Yao's orders twice before.

    "Zhongda is here, take a seat." Zhen Yao smiled, knowing in his heart that the other party appeared to be respectful on the surface, but in fact he was just acting.  In terms of acting, Zhen Yao was no worse than the others. He gestured with his right hand to the desk next to him.

    Sima Yi thanked him immediately and sat down at the desk. But when he sat down, Zhen Yao didn't say a word, just raised his glass and drank tea.

    He sat there for half an hour, which made Sima Yi suffer.  Just entering the city, I was very tired, and I didn't eat much. I didn't even take a sip of water before coming to the prefect's house.

    Although there was tea in front of him, Sima Yi also knew that if Zhen Yao didn't say anything but he picked up the tea, he would definitely have lost this confrontation, and he didn't know what was waiting for him.

    Sima Yi held it in tightly, and sweat gradually appeared on his head. It was not until an hour passed that Zhen Yao suddenly said: "Did Zhongda arrive today? I will stay in the house tonight, and Yao will take care of you."

    "Thank you, Lord." He changed his mind. Sima Yi was not a fool. Although he survived by luck, he still had to submit.

    "Okay, Yao is very satisfied with Zhongda's help." According to Zhen Yao's temperament, he was originally going to torture Sima Yi all afternoon, but he didn't give himself any face, and even played the trick of inviting him again and again.  However, I was afraid that I would really turn Sima into a 'dead horse', so I could only let him go for the time being and let the debt be settled slowly.

    Since Zhen Yao opened his mouth, Sima Yi could move his hands and feet twice, pick up the tea cup in front of him, and take a sip.  Although it is still not effective, it can at least relieve thirst and relieve fatigue.  The cold tea tasted bitter, but Sima Yi still drank it easily. Zhen Yao, who had been looking at him, couldn't help but shake his head. It seemed that the children of the big family were like this. Drinking water was also a waste.

    That night, Zhen Yao indeed held a banquet to welcome Sima Yi. Accompanying him were many scribes from Wuji. Chen Lin, Xu You, Guo Jia, and Jia Xu sat on both sides, and there was no shortage of laughter and laughter during the banquet.

    Now that Sima Yi has called him the lord, Zhen Yao naturally has to arrange things for him. Because Sima Yi has just arrived, and his purpose is a little impure, Zhen Yao did not arrange for him to enter the imperial court, but placed him in the Prefectural Mufu.  , serving as chief bookkeeper.

    To put it nicely, this position means that he is a close minister of Zhen Yao, but to put it badly, he has no power at all, because all the affairs in the palace are under the control of Zhen Yao. Sima Yi only has executive power and no decision-making power. He is just a hard worker.  of.

    It is extremely luxurious to let a big man and a top talent work as a coolie, even if it is just a mental coolie.  But this is what Zhen Yao did, and Sima Yi also enjoyed it.  He completed Zhen Yao's instructions on time and in quantity every day. At other times, he rested in the house assigned to him by Zhen Yao, reciting poems or writing poems by himself.

    Sima Yi behaved very quietly, and Zhen Yao temporarily looked away from him, looking northeast again.  After so many days, Goguryeo, which was already powerless, could no longer withstand the attack of Zhao Yun and Yan Rou. The inner city of the capital was destroyed, and the King of Goguryeo and a number of his officials were arrested.

    "Gao Dao, do you know what crime you have committed!" In the domestic city, Yan Rou brought the King of Goguryeo to him and asked coldly.

    "The guilty minister, the guilty minister should not be greedy and rob the kingdom of heaven and rule the land." Gao Dao, the king of Goguryeo, quickly lowered his head and replied.  Now he regrets it endlessly. It was because of greed that he ended up like this.

    "Plunder? You can still plunder with just the few men under your command!" Although Yan Rou was only a general under Zhen Yao's tent, her status was much higher than that of the leader of such a small tribe. She slapped Gao Xie on the left  Face, he snorted coldly: "I'll tell you the truth, what did you do?"

    "Die, I really don't know. Please go to the general and forgive me, forgive me." Gao Deng said with a drooped face and a bitter look.

    "What is this? Look up and see for yourself!" He stretched out his right foot and kicked Gao's chest and abdomen, and then took out something from his sleeve.

    A piece of brocade silk with relatively fine workmanship appeared in front of Gao Xie.  Seeing this brocade silk, Gao Yan's head was lowered as soon as he raised it, and he was even more panicked in his heart. How could the brocade silk he put on the bed be found out?

    "Let me see what is written on it." Yan Rou looked at Gao Dong with cold eyes, unfolded the brocade silk, and read carefully: "I present you respectfully to the King of Goguryeo, Gongsun of Liaodong. I heard that Goguryeo is short of food recently.  , ironware¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "You have the guts to do it by having an affair with one of my Han officials and causing trouble for the country. Why don't you have the guts to admit it now?" Yan Rou kicked him out again. The majestic leader of the country received a slap and two big kicks from him in a matter of seconds.  , it is quite beautiful.

    ? ?Of course, this brocade silk was the root cause of Liaodong's defeat. Gongsun Kang sent troops, but was tricked by his younger brother.  If not, how could Goguryeo defeat the Youzhou warriors with armor.

    Speaking of this silk scroll, we have to praise Deng, a top-notch king. He actually dared to put private correspondence under his sleeping pillow. Didn¡¯t he want others to discover it?  While searching the entire house, the soldiers took it out effortlessly and handed it to Yan Rou.

    The evidence was available and he was arrested. Gao Deng couldn't hide it even if he wanted to. He could only explain the agreement between himself and Gongsun Gong of Liaodong clearly word by word, and also explained why he put the brocade silk in the  bedside.

    And this reason is the best thing about Goguryeo King Gao Dao. After reading the letter, this guy really wanted to throw him away.  But seeing that it was a piece of brocade silk, I felt very reluctant to part with it, and finally hid it under the pillow.

    This reason couldn't help but make Zhao Yun, Yan Rou and Xiao Zhen Ang shake their heads and laugh. Sure enough, they are barbaric people. Even the king of the country has only so much potential. A piece of brocade silk, not much bigger than a handkerchief, actually has hidden treasures.  Similar.

    "Young Master, what should we do now?" All members of Gao Dao's family were taken into custody, and the former Imperial City of Goguryeo became a temporary resting house for Zhao Yun and others.  There were two people, one big and one small, sitting in the inner room. Zhao Yun held the brocade silk in his hand and asked softly.

    Because he had good decision-making performance before, when Zhao Yun did not make an important decision, he would first ask Zhen Ang to see what he thought.  If there are deficiencies, they will be pointed out and improved, and if there are errors, they can be corrected.

    "My father has ordered the two generals to conquer not only Goguryeo but also several countries in the south." Little Zhen Ang was no longer shy now, with some confidence on his face, and said: "Ang thought that we could put this matter aside for the time being.  Later, when my army returns from the expedition to Liaodong, I will take Gongsun Gong to task and bring him back to Wuji and hand him over to his father."

    "It is not impossible to act this way." Zhao Yun first gave some confirmation, and then said: "But we have conquered Goguryeo, and Gongsun Gong must be anxious at this time. If he is anxious, he may take risks and the army's food and grass will not be returned.  It needs to be transported from Liaodong, has Young Master ever imagined how powerful this place is?"

    "This," Zhen Ang's face froze. How could he have imagined so much? He couldn't help lowering his head and said in frustration, "Ang never thought about it."

    Zhen Ang became depressed because of his poor advice, but Zhao Yun smiled and shook his head and said: "It is not easy for the young master to have the idea of ??defeating the enemy first and then enslaving the enemy. As for the details, it is natural to be less than what is expected. After all, young master  When you are young, how can you cover all aspects of your thoughts?" Saying this was a mixture of encouragement and praise. Zhen Ang also had this qualification.

    Zhao Yun¡¯s words made Zhen Ang feel better. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and asked: "General Zilong, in your opinion, what should we do?"

    "What is Gongsun Gong afraid of? What he is afraid of is that his conspiracy with Goguryeo will be exposed." Zhao Yun nodded, and then said: "If it is not exposed, even if we have guesses, we can't get rid of him. But once there is evidence, he  How can you be happy?"

    "So what we have to do now is to make him think that we have not found evidence that he has liaison with foreign enemies. In this way, he will stay in Liaodong safely and not cause chaos to the army."

    Little Zhen Ang nodded in understanding. The little guy didn't quite understand this kind of thing that had been upgraded from battlefield planning to layout, but he was very smart and would keep it in mind when he grows up.  Think about it slowly.

    At that moment, Zhao Yun wrote two letters, one to Wuji, and the other to scold Liaodong.  The letter mentioned the level of Goguryeo's combat power and the number of his soldiers, and gave Gongsun Kang a harsh lecture.

    It is simply incomprehensible that such a simple war could be defeated. The letter even vaguely mentioned that the emperor would be replaced by Pingzhou Mu, but he did not actually name who to replace.

    This letter reached Liaodong, and Gongsun Kang naturally had no choice but to bear the infamy. Gongsun Gong, who was hiding aside, also calmed down. It seemed that Zhao Yun and the others did not realize that this matter had anything to do with him.

    With this in mind, Gongsun Gong was no longer in a hurry, and responded eagerly looking forward to the return of Zhao Yun's troops.  When he thought about it, after Zhao Yun and others returned, they would definitely take his brother to Wuji to question him, and then maybe he could become the lord of Pingzhou.

    It was a simple tactic to delay the attack, but Gongsun Gong, the idiot, didn't even notice it, and he walked around proudly in front of his eldest brother Gongsun Kang.  However, Gongsun Kang was not in the mood to pay attention to his younger brother at the moment. The loss of his father and the defeat in the war had already left him in a state of despair.

    Winter is coming soon, and the army is outside. Although they have clothes and coats to wear and hot soup to eat, they are still not as comfortable as at home.  Little Zhen Ang has to be wrapped in three or four layers of quilts every day to sleep, but even so, during the day? Listless.

    Fortunately, Goguryeo's combat power is already considered top-notch on this peninsula.  To the south, such as Dongwoju, the population of the entire country is less than 100,000, which is not as large as the population of some counties in the Han Dynasty.

    There was no need for any fighting, just arranging the troops and horses, and a line of soldiers with swords and spears standing in the snow. The king of Dongwoju surrendered, and Zhao Yun was polite to him and didn't have any punches.  Violent incidents involving beatings and kicks occurred.

    Although the words were polite, things still need to be done. The name Woju must never be given again. At most, the word "Woju" will be retained and it will become the seat of a county in the Han Dynasty.

    Along with the name of the country, the original characters and language of this small country disappeared together. Zhao Yun did not care whether he learned Chinese or not, but he made it clear that this barbaric language and writing could no longer be used.

    This kind of rule was naturally given by Zhen Yao before setting off, and Zhao Yun couldn't figure it out, but since the lord said it, he would just do it, and it wouldn't be troublesome anyway. The leader of the small country had already threatened him, and he had already run out of ideas. Naturally,  He listened to whatever Zhao Yun said.

    Although the war did not start, the expedition was still delayed for a long time. When the army continued southward and reached Sanhan, the kings of Mahan, Chenhan, and Bianhan had already gathered in Chenhan, the farthest north.

    Of course, the leaders of the three kingdoms did not gather together to discuss how to defend themselves against foreign enemies.  Goguryeo and Woju both disappeared one after another. They did not think that they could compete with the Celestial Empire because they were so isolated in this area.

    The heads of the Three Kingdoms were very wise and sent envoys before Zhao Yun's army approached, and then brought a group of Han soldiers under their rule.  Because Sanhan is still a city-state system, there is no very particular city. Tens of thousands of troops can only find open spaces to camp, and no military camp can accommodate so many soldiers and horses.

    The leaders of the Three Kingdoms obviously knew the rules from Woju State, and did not dare to bargain with Zhao Yun. They stated that they would abandon the country's name and change it to a county under the rule of the Celestial Dynasty.

    Seeing that the other party knew each other so well, Yan Rou patted her chest and said that she could help them petition the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty and let the three kings of them serve as prefects of the county.  In this way, although the title of country is gone, it still has considerable rights.

    In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the ninth year of Jian'an, and at this time, the soldiers who went out to fight had just returned from Sanhan and passed through Woju County.  Sitting around the bonfire with Zhao Yun and Yan Rou, little Zhen Ang couldn't help but feel homesick on New Year's Eve.

    In the past, at this time, he would play with his younger brothers and sisters, maybe having a snowball fight, maybe building a snowman, or holding a barbecue grill and setting it up in the yard to cook his favorite food.

    And now, although he can still build a snowman, Zhao Yun and Yan Rou also accompany him to have a snowball fight, and there are also smoky red roasted cattle and sheep on the bonfire.  But the little guy couldn't be happy, it seemed like something was missing.

    Zhao Yun and Yan Rou would naturally not be unaware of this change in their expressions.  Yan Rou has liked to wander around since he was a child. When he was a teenager, he even went to Xianbei to break into the Xianbei tent, so he didn't understand this kind of "nostalgia" very well.

    " Zhao Yun, on the other hand, studied art with his master since he was a child, and only returned to his hometown after he became a master.  Immediately after the chaos broke out among the Han Dynasty, even though he was homesick at that time, he didn't have much time to think about it.  He brought many people out of Zhaojiacun and traveled around the deep and remote areas just to find the Ming Lord.

    Zhao Yun tore off a leg of lamb and handed it to Zhen Ang, and said, "Young master, if you feel depressed, just look around. These soldiers have also left their homes, but now they can talk and laugh freely."

    Zhen Ang took the food in a small bowl and raised his head. The surroundings were filled with the laughter of soldiers. Little Zhen Ang didn't understand that, like his depression, this was actually a way to vent.  Many soldiers are celebrating that they are still alive this year and praying for next year.

    Although he didn¡¯t understand this, Zhen Ang was quickly attracted by the laughter. Then, following the soldiers¡¯ laughter, a faint smile appeared on his face.  This New Year in the military camp should be the most special New Year in Zhen Ang's life.

    Zhen Ang overcame his homesickness, but in Wuji, someone secretly shed tears. Who was it?  Naturally, it¡¯s Zhen Ang¡¯s mother, Zhang Ying.

    After the dinner at home, in the backyard of Zhongshan Gongfu, Zhen Yao held the beauty in his arms and whispered: "But you miss Ang'er?"

    Zhang Ying nodded silently. She had tried to hold back tears at the Zhen Mansion dinner, but now she couldn't bear it anymore when she returned home.

    It is only natural that a mother misses her son. Zhen Yao himself also misses Zhen Ang who is away at war.  He patted Zhang Ying's back with his right hand and comforted in a low voice: "Don't worry, my son will be back soon. He will be tall and strong by then. I'm afraid even you, the mother, won't recognize him."

    "Nonsense, how can you stay strong when you are out on an expedition and eat simple food?" Zhang Ying retorted with a frown when she heard this.After saying this, he realized that Zhen Yao was teasing him on purpose, so he couldn't help but stretch out his little hand and hit her husband.

    Diao Chan and Cai Yan all around saw this scene, but at this time all the girls knew to leave their time to Zhang Ying and went back to their rooms silently one by one. They would sleep alone tonight.

    The New Year is over, and the Han Dynasty has entered a new year (the tenth year of Jian'an, AD 205). Spring plowing matters are gradually being arranged, and Zhen Yao is sitting in Wuji waiting for the return of the army from the expedition.

    Due to various reasons, the soldiers who went out to fight returned home as quickly as possible.  Except for the two or three days' delay in dealing with Gongsun Gong's affairs in Liaodong City, at other times the troops and horses were rushing back with all their strength.

    Gongsun Gong didn¡¯t realize that he had been tricked until he was caught, but what could he do? He could only be beaten by Yan Rou and then thrown into the prison camp.

    It was not until the sixth day of February that the soldiers and horses who went out to fight returned to Wuji City.  Zhen Yao went out to greet him personally. Of course, Zhang Ying's daughters were still indispensable by his side.  It's just that Zhen Yao is here to greet the army, and they just want to see Zhen Ang earlier.

    Zhen Ang was not among the generals who went on an expedition, so there was no need to report to the barracks or the prefect's mansion. When he met his parents who were waiting outside the city, he was dragged home by Zhang Ying's daughters before he even reported a few words to Zhen Yao.

    Zhen Yao wisely did not say anything at this time. He just led Zhao Yun and Yan Rou towards the barracks happily.

    "My lord, the wisdom of the young master is rare in the world." Walking on the streets of the city, Zhao Yun whispered: "Everything the young master has planned during the march is feasible. When he matures in the future, it will be difficult for the big man to have an opponent."

    Yan Rou, who had been 'conquered' by Zhen Ang's performance along the way, also spoke out in support: "What Zilong said is exactly right. Rou Yi admires the young master's ability. When the young master is as big as this, Rou can only  You know how to fight bravely, but you don't know any tactics and strategies. Let alone a thousand armies, even ten people cannot command them."

    "The dog can win the praise of Zilong and Jianzheng, but he has studied hard." Zhen Yao smiled and nodded, but he was most concerned about this: "It is said that the matter in Liaodong is already clear, have everyone brought it?  "

    If the expansion of territory and the capture of Sanhan and Goguryeo is an important goal of this expedition, then how to recover Pingzhou and Liaodong is the ultimate goal of the expedition.  Zhen Yao didn't want to make mistakes amidst the great cheers.

    "Don't worry, my lord, Gongsun and his family have all been brought with the army." Yan Rou grinned, her work efficiency was indeed unambiguous.
