Chapter 36, Help Sun Zun
Zu Zhao took hundreds of vehicles to the county where Gongsun Zan was located. He knew that Gongsun Zan liked to fight, and during this period, he had been fighting with the northern nations and needed food and materials very much, so he brought some military supplies.
Zu Zhao did this to paralyze Gongsun Zan and his counselors. Since Gongsun Du has begun to notice him, Gongsun Zan's counselors will naturally wonder why Gongsun Du is against Zu Zhao, and then they will understand and check Zu Zhao.
Now Zu Zhao took the initiative to come with money and food and grass, just to show them that he was working hard to develop the economy and settle the people in the Liaodong generation. There is no other intention to compete with them for power. Zu Zhao understands that he must hide his glory and bide his time now, and must not destroy his ambition in the future because of a moment of amagnance.
This time, he came to ask Gongsun Zant for help. He brought his own excellent troops, day and night, non-stop. Because there are robbers everywhere these days, he has to be careful, and among these bandits, there is no lack of capable guys like Zhao Yun. In the past, they met Zhao Yun, and the two eventually became compatible with each other. If they meet a group of unreasonable people and want to seize his supplies, he also has to have a guard. This thing is to ask for This time, you can ask for your own grand career in the future, but you can't ruin your plan because of a few thieves, so he mobilized a batch of elite soldiers and food to escort them together.
Entering the territory under Gongsun Zang's jurisdiction, some troops had already noticed them and immediately surrounded them to block their way. Hearing that Zu Zhao from Liaodong was going to see Gongsun Zan, the guard general was still a little knowledgeable. He had heard of Zu Zhao, but he had never met him. He conducted a very detailed question about why Zu Zhao came here and what was escorted in the car.
When he learned that what Zu Zhao escorted were military supplies, the general's eyes lit up and his mouth couldn't help but squeak a few times. However, as a general, he didn't dare to be careless. He still carefully checked the things in the car and confirmed that there was no danger before sending someone to report to Gongsun Zan and personally with Zu Zhao. Transportation of materials.
Gongsun Zang returned from the expedition not long ago. He wanted to continue to pursue the enemy, but he did not have enough food and grass, so he had to come back. Although he had won the battle, he was not very happy, and some doormen also told him not to have frequent wars, which would lead to the outflow of people. It is becoming more and more difficult for my army and harvest land.
Gongsun Zan is a natural combat maniac. If he doesn't move, he will be crazy. Therefore, as long as he has some reserves, he will attack the enemy, and they are all relatively fierce. Therefore, when the people in the north hear that it is Gongsun Zan, they will inevitably seek or retreat, and dare not fight head-on with him. That is not Crazy man, who would be willing to fight with a madman?
At this moment, Gongsun Zan sat alone in the room with a glass of water in his hand and a map on the table. He did not stop pointing on the map, sometimes shaking his head and sometimes nodded. Suddenly hearing a report, he was a little unhappy and asked what was going on.
"Report to the general, a man who claimed to be Zu Zhaozu was loyal escorting a batch of supplies and said that he wanted to see you, and now the guard is bringing him here. The little fast horse came to report to your excellency. May I ask your excellency, how to decide? The soldier replied.
When Gongsun Zan heard that Zu Zhao was coming, he was a little happy and shocked. He couldn't help muttering to himself, "How could he suddenly come to me? He has a good ability and has been developing in Liaodong County. Now he is escorting this batch of materials to see me?"
Suddenly thinking of the supplies, Gongsun Zan's heart flashed and said to himself, 'Since it's supplies, no matter why he came, take his supplies first. This is still a good thing for me. As for what he asked me to do, I can help, and I can't help. The teacher also took good care of him, and Huangfu Song appreciated him even more. If he didn't go to them, how could he think of looking for me?
After careful thought, I still felt that the materials were important, and they were all fellow brothers. It was normal to see him. They could take the opportunity to borrow some grain and grass from him for his conscription. Thinking about it, Gongsun Zan immediately summoned the headquarters to go out of the city to meet Zu Zhao.
Zu Zhao saw the brigade coming from afar and knew that it was Gongsun Zan who came out in person. He couldn't help but feel a little energetic, but he couldn't let this brother look weak. Although he came to beg him this time, his performance could not be too weak, otherwise it would be counterproductive.
"Reson, how can you think of suddenly coming to see me?" Gongsun Zang got off the horse and said with a smile, but his eyes kept looking at the house of the car and horse. The more he looked at it, the happier he became. He also asked excitedly, "What are you pulling?"
When Zu Zhao saw Gongsun Zan's drooling appearance, he couldn't help cursing in his heart. If it hadn't been for the design of your Gongsun family, I wouldn't have bothered to come to you. However, he is still very polite about his face, not to mention that Gongsun Zang is his brother, and he came here to ask him for something, and the face project should be enough.
"The martyrs paid a visit to his brother. I haven't seen you for a lot of time, and everything will be fine. Zu Zhao asked politely.
"Good and safe, naturally safe. By the way, has your teacher been okay recently?" Gongsun Zun asked.
Zhu Zhao replied, "The teacher is also very good. Brother, please come out to greet me in person. I'm really flattered.
Gongsun Zun laughed and said, "When you come to me, I should naturally go out to greet you, but what is your big car?"
Zu Zhao kept driving and said, "I heard that there were some thieves here in Liaodong. It happened that I had a batch of ripe food, so I changed some military supplies and sent them to my brother to cheer up morale. Although it's not much, I hope you don't dislike it.
Gongsun Zun said, "You and my classmates, it's too common for you to do this. But I just lack some supplies. I didn't expect you to know me so well. Our family doesn't talk to both families. This time you helped me. If you need my help, I will never shirk a word at the beginning.
Zu Zhao said, "Brother said this, and I am even grateful. To be honest, I went to the Three Treasures Hall this time, but I have something to ask my brother for help.
Gongsun Zun replied cheerfully, "Since you have opened your mouth, as long as I can help, I will naturally help." After saying that, he laughed, kept checking in the carriages and horses, and smelled what was in the bag with his nose from time to time.
Zu Zhao thought to himself that Gongsun Zan was very witty. He stressed that he was within the scope of helping several times. This not only said that he was bold, but also left a way for himself. At that time, it was reasonable to say that he could not help directly. Fortunately, it was not a big deal to find him this time, otherwise he still knew it. Will he help?
"Brother Liechen, it's not something to say here. Follow me back to the government office quickly. It's good to discuss things for sure." Gongsun Zan looked at the room and was very happy. He hurriedly invited Zu Zhao to the city for fear that he would temporarily change his mind and not give him these materials.
Zu Zhao naturally agreed with Gongsun Zan's words and looked for a car all the way. He also wanted to take a break, even if he sat down and drank some tea and wine. However, he knew that he could not drink tea here. He only had tea, and even Hua Tuo had never drunk it.
Entering the city and arriving at Gongsun Zan's official residence, the two entered side by side. After the host and guest were determined, Gongsun Zan boasted about Zu Zhao before asking what Zu Zhao was doing to find him. When Zu Zhao heard this, he said that his small subordinate was detained by him because his family had offended Sun Du, a small official in Liaodong County, and his subordinates were very worried. Although I was plotting in Liaodong, I had some conflicts with Gongsun Du before. If I come forward, I'm afraid that Gongsun Du will take the opportunity to make things difficult for me. It's not a big deal for me to suffer a little. I'm afraid that my nature will be fierce and say something wrong for a while and harm the families of my subordinates. That's a crime.
"Why did they arrest your family?" Gongsun Zun asked puzzledly.
Zu Zhao shook his head and said, "I don't know, but when I saw that I was careless and made repeated mistakes these days, I knew that something had happened to my family after being questioned. So I can only come and ask you to help rescue the family of my subordinates. It is also a great achievement, and I will be very grateful.
Gongsun Zan laughed and said, "This is a small matter. I will immediately fix a letter and let him release him. Otherwise, I will appeal to the court, saying that he is bullying the people. At that time, the court may not let me fight against him. If you are not sure, I can send someone to talk to Liaodong County in person. Anyway, don't worry, this matter will soon be fine.
"Thank you for your help. I can't thank you enough." Zu Zhao said.
"They are all fellow brothers, and you have helped me like this. You sent me so many materials when I was short of materials. We can help each other. No one owes anyone. If you are polite, just say it." Gongsun Zun said with a smile.
Zu Zhao said yes repeatedly, but scolded him in his heart. If he didn't want to publicize these materials now, he didn't have to suddenly. Now it sounds like he really want him to help, as if he still owes him a favor.
Finally, Gongsun Zan decided to send his cronies to Liaodong County to let Gongsun release him. After thanking Zu Zhao, he saw the confidence of Gongsun Zan and quietly wrote gold and silver for him to help him more. After the cronies got the benefits, he was very happy and may help him save people. He also praised Zu Zhao for caring for his subordinates and caring for the people. He must have made great achievements in the future.
Zuzuo smiled and said that he was very happy that he could do a good thing for the people in these troubled times, and did not dare to ask for anything. This is also the hope that this guy can say good words in front of Gongsun Zan in the future. He doesn't want to fight against Gongsun Zan too early. This guy is a war maniac. At that time, he will harass himself for three days, which will have a great impact on his development.
Following Gongsun Zan's messenger, Zu Zhao rushed back to Liaodong County day and night and gathered with Zhang Yuan there. After understanding the situation, Gongsun Zan's messenger and Zhang Yuan went directly to see Gongsun Du. Zu Zhao chose not to go. Otherwise, he would really give Gongsun too much face. At that time, I'm afraid he would be in the limelight. He is just now. He doesn't want to fall out with local heroes, which doesn't mean that he is afraid of them. What he needs to do now is to develop his own interior, attack from far and close friends, and then he can encircle hostile forces.
