Chapter 369 Letter from Yuan Shao
In the next few days, Yuan Shao Company sent troops to attack. Liu Bei took advantage of the bravery of Pan, Zhang and Hua under his command to stand with him, and Qu Yi was a famous general in Jizhou, who had the ability to train soldiers. The next 10,000 generals under his command were brave and good at fighting. Therefore, although Yuan Shao's soldiers were many generals, he was also forced to be in Wei County, giving Liu Bei and Qu Yi to stop his invasion of Jizhou.
Yuan Shao saw that he and Liu Bei could not hold on to each other, and the number of soldiers and food was decreasing day by day. He was worried, so he asked Tian Feng to discuss it. In this regard, Tian Feng was also helpless. Yuan Shao attacked Jizhou, and his ambition was revealed. Everyone was in danger near the princes. How could he help him? However, Guo Tu proposed to borrow grain from Hedong. After Hedong implemented the farmland, he accumulated a lot of grain and grass. He suggested that Yuan Shao could first form an alliance with Wenhan and give Hanoi after attacking Jizhou in the future.
Although Yuan Shao had an old grudge against Wen Han, the shortage of food and fodder was already burning, and he had to put down his previous high posture. He also asked who was suitable for Guo Tupai. Guo Tu also suggested that Master Zhao Yun, Tong Yuan, is a good friend of Wen Han's grandfather, and it is most suitable to send him there.
After listening to 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 Hedong to borrow grain.
However, it is said that Hedong is preparing to fight against the white wave thief in Bingzhou. After a period of recuperation, Wen Han's arrow wounds on his body are also much better. At the same time, the sergeant in Hedong is also refreshed, sharpening his fists, and is full of fighting spirit, waiting for the day of the army.
In the Taishou Mansion, Wen Han was trying to wear the new robe sewed for him by Cai Yan. When Cai Yan saw Wen Han put on the robe, his heroic and heroic posture was full of happiness and satisfaction.
"Cough."
Wen Han hugged Cai Yan in his arms and was about to say something sweet. Unexpectedly, Xilong coughed a few times outside the door. Suddenly, Wen Han rolled his eyes and gave Cai Yan an apologetic look. Cai Yan blushed and smiled gently at Wen Han, signaling Wen Han to do business first.
"Cai Zhicai, you'd better have something urgent, otherwise I can't forgive you."
"The lord's new robe is gorgeous and majestic. It seems that it must be from his wife. Lord, this lady is really a blessing that has been cultivated for three lifetimes.
"Oc's it, put your set away. What's the matter?"
Suddenly, the drama put away his smile and his face darkened.
"Master, Yuan Shao sent someone here."
"Yuan Shao? Doesn't he always look down on me, a humble person from a humble family? It's really surprising that he would send someone here. Zhicai, what do you think he wants to do?
"I heard that Yuan Benchu's 50,000 troops were blocked by Liu Bei and Jizhou General Quyi's 16,000 soldiers and horses in Wei County, and now they are still holding on to each other. Yuan Benchu has so many soldiers that the daily consumption of grain and fodder must be an amazing number. If I guess correctly, he must want to borrow food.
"Huh!! It's really delusional!! Since I first met Yuan Ben, he has repeatedly plotted to kill me. If it hadn't been for the war now, I might have attacked Hanoi and reported the old grudges. Does he still want me to lend him food to help him achieve power? Does he really think I'm an ordinary fool?
"However, the lord might as well meet the people he sent to see what medicine is sold in Yuan Benchu's gourd. He also knew that the master hated him, but he still sent someone to borrow food, and he must have some control.
"I don't see you!"
Wen Han frowned and remembered that Yuan Shao was going to kill him three or four times in the old days. His stomach was full of a fire of ignorant karma, and he left as soon as he shook his sleeve.
Xilong raised his eyebrows and raised his eyebrows. Unexpectedly, Wen Han didn't see it, so it was difficult for him to persuade him anymore. Then he thought about what Yuan Shao wanted to pay in exchange for food in Hedong.
After a while, Xilong's eyes lit up and seemed to think of something, and then muttered a few words before leaving. After that, Xilong sent someone to inform Zhao Yun that Wen Han was not feeling well and asked Zhao Yun to stay for a few more days.
Zhao Yunjian frowned, and then it was clear in his heart that Zhao Yun had heard a lot about the old feud between Wen Han and Yuan Shao under Yuan Shao's command. Of course, it was not comprehensive. He only knew that the two had many discords because of the identity gap.
Seeing that he was free, Zhao Yun left the post office and wandered in Anyi City. Zhao Yun walked all the way and saw the 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. He sighed repeatedly in his heart, and then asked an old man why Anyi City was so happy, which did not seem to be in troubled times at all.
The old man told him that since Wen Han became the governor of Hedong and seized the power of the bureaucrats of Hedong, the tax was greatly reduced, and then Zhang Yu, the long history under his command, was a strict and fair person. He strictly arrested the integrity of officials. Once he found that the officials collected benefits, even if it was a line, he would be heavily punished, and if he would be exempted from the official position, and expelled from Hedong.
After that, Wen Han cooperated with Hedong Weijia and the major giant merchants in Hedong to develop business, and then took the lead in suppressing the rise in prices. The prices in Hedong are the lowest in the world.
At the same time, the most pleasing thing for the old man is the implementation of Tuntian. Since the implementation of farmland, every family in Hedong has land to cultivate, and has a lot of income every year. Moreover, the old man's son also became a hundred generals in the Wenhan army. In the Wenhan army, the salary was extremely high. The old man has accumulated a lot of wealth in his family, and like him, 70% of them are in Hedong. Everyone is willing to send his son to the army.
The old man talked about the gate. As soon as he opened his mouth, he pulled Zhao Yun and kept talking. Later, he talked about what he heard from his son about the promotion system in Wenhan's army. It is said that in the Hedong Army, regardless of identity, family background, there is no nepotism. As long as there is merit, it will be rewarded, and the system is clear. Everything is based on personal strength, qualifications, achievements and experience. That is to say, as long as you have the ability to survive in the Hedong Army, you will definitely get a high position.
The old man smiled and talked about his son. He told Zhao Yun that his son might be promoted to captain next year. The old man's eyes are full of hope and beauty. After hearing this, several old men next to him also came one after another, talking about their sons, and even compared them.
Zhao Yun looked at several old men, and there were thousands of huge waves in his heart. If it is really like what the old man just said, the east of the river is really a paradise on earth in today's troubled times. The people live and work in peace and contentment, they all have savings in their hands, and have a beautiful and real vision for the future.
Zhao Yun bowed his head and meditated. Unconsciously, the old men around him left. The sky was a little dark, and a small boat passed by, and the boatman sang an unknown song.
Suddenly, there were five men dressed in sneaky clothes, with straw hats and black gauze, hurried towards Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun was still thinking about things. When those big men passed by Zhao Yun, a big man with triangular eyes bumped into Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun's muscles were like steel all over his body. The big man only felt as if he had hit the wall and retreated a few steps. With a bang, the hidden knife fell down.
"Bad boy! If you don't have eyes, you're looking for death!!"
The big man with triangular eyes quickly held up the knife on the ground, and his evil appearance suddenly appeared. He wanted to cut Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun's eyes narrowed sharply, and a surging momentum was like a huge wave slapped at the big man with triangular eyes.
"Second pillar, stop!!"
The big man named Erzhuzi was so scared that he took a step back. He happened to come with one of his companions and took away Erzhuzi's knife. Then he stared at him fiercely.
"This hero, my brother, I offended you, and I'm here to apologize to you. I hope there will be a large number of heroes to bypass his recklessness.
The big man who spoke had the demeanor of a leader. Seeing that Zhao Yun was extraordinary and exuded a terrible edge all over his body, he knew that this person must be an ordinary person. And the big man and his group still have important things to do. If they offend Zhao Yun, I'm afraid it will ruin their important things.
Zhao Yun put away the momentum from his body and stared at the big men coldly for a while. Then he didn't say a word, but waved his hand casually.
After the big man bowed to Zhao Yun, he led the man away. Zhao Yun saw that these people were sneaky and armed. They must have done something that didn't look light, so he followed them secretly.
"Brother, why did you apologize to the yellow-haired child? If it were in Bingzhou, I would dig out his arrogant dog eyes.
The big man named Erzhuzi's eyes were gloomy. He remembered Zhao Yun's horrible and fierce eyes just now, and his heart still kept jumping.
"Two pillars! I can remind you that we have a great responsibility. Guo Tianshi told us not to make trouble in Hedong, and everything should be done first by Guo Tianshi. As long as he catches the girl Zhou Yuhan and makes Wenfan a taboo, he will not dare to attack Bingzhou again.
"Brother, is this reliable? Can a single girl make Wen extraordinary and give up the whole state of Bingzhou?
"Well, the heavenly master's instructions naturally make sense. However, I have also heard that this person is emotional and cares about the people around him the most. Zhou Yuhan is an orphan he adopted among the exiles in his early years. Wen Fan almost died to save her when he was still in Luoyang. Later, the orphan was taken as a righteous daughter by the extraordinary eldest brother Zhou Long. Wen Bofan and her eldest brother regard her as the apple of the eye and spoil her very much.
"This week's rain is really good. Hey hey, but her good luck is also over. Before I came here, I heard from the rich family in Hedong that although Yuhan is sixteen years old this week, she is beautiful and beautiful as a flower. I don't know how many princes in Hedong are infatuated with her and regard her as a treasure of Hedong. When we catch her, we will try it. Of course, only the eldest brother is eligible for her virginity.
"Two pillars, put away your lust! Zhou Yuhan's matter is of great importance. Before Guo Tianshi makes a decision, no one can touch her hair. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!!"
Er Zhuzi was the big man he called the eldest brother and drooled on his face. Er Zhuzi saw that his eldest brother was really angry and did not dare to be presumptuous. He closed his mouth and followed his eldest brother all the way.
Zhao Yun followed them and faintly heard their conversation. He probably knew that they would be unfavorable to a woman. At that moment, his face was a little cold and he followed closely.
After a while, these people came into contact with several people who were gorgeously dressed and knew at a glance that they were rich or noble. After talking with these people for a while, several big men turned into a corner.
Zhao Yun followed them all the way, turned to the back door of a view, and then sneaked into the Taoist temple. Zhao Yun frowned. After waiting for a while, he jumped and jumped into the Taoist temple.
Zhao Yun was as light as a swallow. He just landed when he heard a messy sound of fighting in the Taoist temple, and then there were countless screams and panicked footsteps. After a while, there was a ferocious laughter.
"Hey hey! Girl, you'd better know each other, or the old man will hurt your delicate body later. Don't blame the old man for not sympathetic to the jade!"
At this time, Zhou Yuhan was surrounded by several big men with knives. Today, she originally came to the Taoist temple to pray for the blessing of Wen Han, who was about to go to Bingzhou. But I didn't expect that I would suffer from evil people. As soon as these villains rushed in, they killed several guards who protected Zhou Yuhan.
"Why do you kill people? They are all innocent!!"
Facing several cold blades, Zhou Yuhan did not show fear, but showed sadness for the dead guards.
"Hey hey hey. What a kind-hearted girl, and now she still wants to take care of these dead people.
The second pillar smiled gidly again and wanted to grab Zhou Yuhan with a knife. Zhou Yuhan took a few steps back and leaned against the wall. Seeing that the big man was about to come, a resolute look appeared on his face.
"Why did you arrest me!?"
When the second pillar saw that Zhou Yuhan had no way to retreat, the ferocious smile on his face was even more full. Listening to her delicate questions, a pair of triangular eyes continuously emitted the color of **dang, as if to take off Zhou Yuhan's whole body.
