Great Wei Nengchen

After the convoy left, Yuan Shao became furious, spat out two mouthfuls of blood, and immediately fell into a coma. The Yuan family was dying, and his time had passed!

"The general is safe and sound, hurry up and tell the doctor!"

"Close the door of the house immediately, and don't say anything about this matter, so as not to shake people's hearts!"

....................................

Yuan Shao was in a coma, and panicked all of a sudden, Shen Pei and Guo Tu came out to take charge, arranging for treatment, blocking the news, and sending people to rescue the third son, it was really busy!

"Father, there is nothing wrong with you...Third brother, you must come back safely!"

The eldest son Yuan Tan also wailed a few times, but he was already happy in his heart when there was no thunder and no rain. For him, the best result is that the old can't afford to be sick, and the young is decapitated. , in order to achieve his goal, he did not hesitate to add fuel to the fire...

Besides, after Zhao Yun and his party left Yecheng, the convoy went straight to Liyang City, preparing to cross the Yellow River from Guanguan, pass through the occupied area of ​​Cao Ying, and then return to Jingzhou!

This is impossible. If Zhao Yun was alone, traveling across the mountains without a trace, it would be easy to return to Jingzhou. But with two wives and ten carts of gold, silver and jewels, things would be much more troublesome. It would be impossible to sneak around. , must go back aboveboard!

"We have no enmity in the past, and we have no grievances in recent days. I am willing to make amends for any offenses I have made. I also ask General Zilong to let me go back immediately. Besides, Yuan and Cao have a deep hatred. Even if the convoy reaches Guandu, it will not be able to cross the Yellow River." , it is better to stay in Ye City, rich and rich, with gold and silver beauties..."

Along the way, Yuan Shang chattered endlessly, persuading Zhao Yun to spare his own life, if he could change his mind and join the Yuan Group, that would be even better!

Riding on horseback, Yuan Shang also thought about running away, but he obediently gave up after seeing Zhao Yun's Sky-shaking Bow and Cloud-piercing Arrow. Once you run away, you will turn into a blood gourd!

"Third Young Master, don't worry, as soon as you reach Guandu, the general will let you go back. As for the matter of crossing the river, someone will take care of you!"

Zhao Yun smiled lightly, he was not completely sure, and he didn't dare to single-handedly, he came to Hebei to pick up people, brother Xiao Yi, we will meet soon!

Chapter 956 Hebei is eroded, the general is thinking about danger!

"Roll!...Roll!"

The two ladies were delicate and the vehicle with their treasures was heavy, so the convoy traveled at a slow speed and traveled fifty or sixty miles a day. Fortunately, Zhao Yun was super powerful and guarded day and night with guns. There was no mistake on the way, and it took five days , finally arrived outside Liyang City!

Liyang City is located on the north bank of the Yellow River. The city is tall and well-defended. Like a sharp sword, hanging above the head of Yuan's group, it made Yuan's father and son restless!

Those in charge of Liyang city defense are Ma Yan, Zhang Wei, Jiao Chu, and Zhang Nan. They have 10 troops under their command, and most of them are soldiers from Hebei. , it is Cao Cao's arrangement, which seems unbelievable, but in fact it is ingenious and has three major advantages:

First, reusing surrendered generals to guard the city can win the hearts of the people, and also let the soldiers and civilians in Hebei see the broad-mindedness of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. If he sends troops to the Northern Expedition in the future, he will inevitably surrender like a tide, and demote officials like a hair!

Second, the [-] surrendered soldiers are all from Hebei. If they are brought back to the Caoying territory, they will inevitably be homesick and rebel. It is better to place them in Liyang City and let them set foot on the land of their hometown, so that the army will be at peace!

Thirdly, these generals and soldiers were all abandoned by Yuan's father and son when they were in crisis. They felt extremely resentful and hated the Yuan family. !

Facts have proved that Cao Cao's decision-making was wise. The four surrendered generals stationed in Liyang City, drilled soldiers and horses, strengthened the city's defenses, and worked extremely hard. After the Guandu War, Yuan Shao sent troops several times to take back the gate. !

Seeing that a strong attack would not work, Yuan Shao sent envoys to bring official seals, gold and silver, and tried to persuade the four members to surrender and return to the Hebei Group. As the saying goes: "Prime Minister Cao is wise and powerful, employs people without doubt, pushes people into the belly with a heart, and we will not repay him with death?"

"Third Young Master escorted me all the way, I will be grateful in the end, if there is a day to see you again, I will thank you very much, please go back!"

Arriving at the foot of Liyang City, Zhao Yun put away the silver spear in his hand, ready to let Yuan Shang go. Killing such dudes would be of no use, and instead they would have a grudge against Yuan Shao, so it is better to let him go back!

"General Zilong is merciful. He is an honest man. If you come to Hebei in the future, I will greet you with your back. We will have a date later!"

Yuan Shang said a few words on the scene, then turned his horse's head, and ran away without a trace... There will be a period of ghosts, and it is best never to see each other again!

After releasing Yuan Shang, Zhao Yun commanded the convoy to move forward until they came to the gate of Liyang City. There was a lot of traffic and pedestrians here. They were all merchants coming from south to north. If it wasn’t for the sergeants patrolling and the guards were heavy, I almost forgot that this was a war period!

As the saying goes: Mountains of knives and seas of fire cut off constant trade routes, and the more wars there are, the more lucrative the profits. Therefore, merchants rush around day and night between the two camps, only recognize gold and are not afraid of knives!

The spies and spies on both sides also took the opportunity to mix in the caravan, infiltrate into the other side's area, and spy on all kinds of information. The leaders of both sides are well aware of this matter, but they don't interfere too much. Needs exist, and existence is reasonable. This is also one of the unspoken rules of war!

However, the caravans travel from south to north, and the goods they transport are completely different. The caravans on Cao Ying’s side all carry real money and go to Hebei to buy goods. They don’t pick things, such as grain, cloth, medicinal materials, livestock, Iron wares, bronze wares... were all swept away, and they were transported back to the south bank continuously!

To be honest, Cao Ying made great efforts to govern, and the Yuan family levied and extorted. After many years of confrontation, the prices of goods and food on the south bank are far lower than those on the north bank, and the people are richer. Business travelers buy goods at high prices and then ship them to low-price areas. What profits, even losses, but they don't care, like a pack of wolves, they keep emptying Hebei's supplies!

Hebei merchants are greedy, and they continue to fuel the flames. In just a few months, the silver they bought is as cheap as iron, and the price of goods is soaring. In terms of food alone, a bucket of rice is worth [-] to [-] yuan, which is worse than the famine years. People There is not enough food to eat, countless people starve to death, and the situation is getting more and more turbulent!

Seeing that the situation is not good, the Yuan family and his son also issued a decree to stop the food from flowing out. Unfortunately, the officials at the bottom are just trying to gain benefits. Who will be loyal to the Yuan family? This towering tree in Hebei has rotted from its roots...

"The situation in Hebei is corrupt, and the hearts of the upper and lower are separated. I am afraid that within three to five years, it will be annexed by Cao Ying. Cao Cao will occupy the Central Plains and lead a million troops to the south. Can the southern towns and princes resist it?

The lord only has one city, Xinye, and thousands of troops under his command, so what should he do? Without the help of wizards, the situation may be in danger? "

Zhao Yun is a caring person. From the situation in front of him, he thinks that a few years later, the picturesque country will belong to the Cao family. My brother has a vicious vision!

.....................................................................................................................

"The convoy stopped and was inspected. They actually carried a lot of treasures. They must be spies from Hebei. Tell the general immediately!"

As soon as the convoy arrived at the gate of the city, it was stopped by the defenders. More than a dozen carts of gold, silver and jewelry were too eye-catching, not to mention the two wives, who were like flowers and jade, absolutely extraordinary!

The person in charge of the defense of the north gate was the general Jiao Chu. Hearing the soldiers' report, he immediately led a team to surround the convoy, ready to question him!

"Da! Da!--Where did you come from, and where are you going? Do you have any documents to pass the customs?"

Jiao Chu was wearing a brass armor, holding an iron gun in his hand, and urged his horse to ask questions. His eyes were fixed on Zhao Yun. Such a mighty and majestic man was far from ordinary people, and he looked familiar...

"I'm coming from Yecheng, and I'm going to Xuchang City to visit a relative. I hope the general will let me go!"

Zhao Yun showed no signs of fear, and answered the questions fluently. He was there to visit his relatives!

"Who is your relative, where does he live, and who is his last name?"

"It's my brother-in-law, who lives in Baihu Street - Tianzi No. [-], and his surname is Xiao!"

"Baihu Avenue-Tianzi No. [-] is Wuchouhou's Mansion, a family surnamed Xiao... Da Sima...Your Excellency is Chang Shan-Zhao Zilong!"

..............................

Jiao Touch woke up suddenly, sat down on his horse and retreated a few steps, with a look of fear on his face. He happened to be among Yuan Jun in the battle of Jieqiao, and he had seen Zhao Yun's demeanor, galloping freely, and his might was unrivaled!

In addition, Da Sima is very lucky and has many wives and concubines. There is a sixth wife, Zhao Yu, who is his sister. Therefore, Zhao Yun is indeed Xiao Yi's brother-in-law, a very real relative!

This is going to be troublesome, the Chief Sima is a high-ranking official, everyone is in awe, who dares to offend his uncle, the two are still sworn brothers, vowing to live and die together, the relationship is very unusual!

But Zhao Yun is a general under Liu Bei, who is hostile to the Caoying Group, so he let him go hastily. Once the Prime Minister blames him, he can't afford it!

"General Zhao has come from a long way, and I'm tired of going on a pommel horse. Please go to the post house to rest for a while, so that the last general can show his kindness as a landlord, and it won't be too late to pass the pass!"

The matter is so important that Jiao Touch dare not make a decision, first invite Zhao Yun and others to enter the city, and then notify the three friends to discuss countermeasures together!

"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders. Thank you so much, General... Entering the city!"

Zhao Yun didn't refuse either. He was tired all the way, and he was vigilant day and night. Even if he could hold on, the two wives couldn't stand it, so it was time to get some rest!

Besides, Jiao Touch, Ma Yan, Zhang Wei, and Zhang Nan gathered together, after some discussion, everyone also felt that this matter was difficult, the prime minister's military order could not be violated, and the chief minister could not afford to offend him!

The final decision was: 'Please do what you want, and don't offend others'. On the one hand, free up their mansion and invite Zhao Yun and his party to stay in. They must be entertained with good wine and good food, and they must be warm and courteous, making them feel at home!
