    "ÓÕê¤!ÓÕê¤!"

    The two ladies were frail, and the treasure vehicle was heavy. Therefore, the convoy moved slowly, traveling fifty or sixty miles a day. Fortunately, Zhao Yun was so powerful that he was on guard with a gun day and night. There were no mistakes on the way, and it took five full days.  , finally arrived outside Liyang City!

    Liyang City is located on the north bank of the Yellow River. It is a tall city with strong defenses and important traffic routes. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. During the Guandu War, Xiao Yi succeeded in a sneak attack and fell into the control of Cao Jun. Now he has stationed a hundred thousand troops.  Like a sharp sword, it hangs over the heads of the Yuan Group, making it difficult for Yuan and his son to sleep or eat well!

    The four generals responsible for the defense of Liyang City were Ma Yan, Zhang Wei, Jiao Chu, and Zhang Nan. They had 100,000 troops under their command, most of whom were from Hebei Province. The generals led the troops and stationed them in Jiangcheng. Such an astonishing move.  , it is Cao Cao¡¯s arrangement that seems incredible, but is actually ingenious and has three major benefits:

    First, reusing the surrendered generals to guard the city can win people's hearts and let the soldiers and civilians of Hebei see the magnanimity and magnanimity of the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty. If he sends troops to the Northern Expedition in the future, he will inevitably demote generals like a tide and officials like a hair!

    Secondly, the one hundred thousand surrendered troops are all descendants of Hebei. If they are brought back to Caoying's territory, they will inevitably be homesick and rebel. It is better to place them in Liyang City and let them set foot on their hometown soil, which will stabilize the military morale!

    Thirdly, these surrendered generals and troops were all abandoned by the Yuan family and his son in times of crisis. They were extremely resentful and hated the Yuan family to the core. They went into battle to fight without caring about their own lives. They were three points more brave than Cao's army's own troops.  !

    Facts have proved that Cao Cao's decision was wise. The four surrendered generals stationed themselves in Liyang City, trained their troops and horses, reinforced the city's defenses, and worked extremely hard. After the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao sent troops several times to regain the gate, but they were all fought back by the four of them.  !

    Seeing that the strong attack failed, Yuan Shao sent envoys carrying official seals, gold and silver, trying to persuade the four generals to surrender and return to the Hebei group. As a result, the four men beheaded the envoys and hung their heads on the city wall to show their loyalty to Cao Ying. According to them  He said: "Prime Minister Cao is wise and powerful, he employs people without suspicion, and pushes people into his belly with his whole heart. Shouldn't we repay him with death?"

    "I will be grateful to you for escorting me all the way. If we ever see you again, I will thank you deeply. Please go back!"

    Arriving at the foot of Liyang City, Zhao Yun withdrew his silver spear and prepared to let Yuan Shang go. Killing such a dandy boy would be useless, and instead he would resent Yuan Shao. It would be better to let him go!

    "General Zilong is merciful. He is truly an honest man. If you come to Hebei in the future, I will welcome you. We will meet again in the future!"

    Yuan Shang said a few words, then turned his horse's head and disappeared in a flash We will meet again in due course, and it is best to never meet again!

    After letting Yuan Shang go, Zhao Yun directed the convoy to move forward until they arrived at Liyang City Gate. The place was bustling with traffic and pedestrians, all merchants traveling from north to south. If it weren't for the sergeants patrolling and being heavily guarded, I almost forgot that this was during a war!

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

    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 were well aware of this matter, but they did not interfere too much. The need existed, and the existence was reasonable.  This is also one of the unspoken rules of war!

    However, the caravans traveling from north to south carry completely different goods. The caravans on Cao Ying's side all took real money and silver to buy goods in Hebei. They didn't even pick things, including grain, cloth, medicinal materials, livestock, etc.  Ironware, bronzewareall were swept away and transported back to the south bank in a steady stream!

    To be honest, Cao Ying worked hard to govern and the Yuan family imposed excessive taxes. After years of confrontation, the prices of commodities and food on the south bank were far lower than those on the north bank, and the people were also richer. Businessmen and travelers bought goods at high prices and then transported them to low-price areas.  What kind of profit, and even losses, but they don't care, like a pack of evil wolves, constantly emptying Hebei of supplies!

    The greedy businessmen in Hebei Province also continued to add fuel to the flames. In just a few months, money was as cheap as iron and prices soared. In terms of food alone, a bushel of rice was worth thirty to forty thousand yuan, which was even worse than during the famine years. The common people  Without enough to eat, countless people died of starvation, and the situation became increasingly unstable!

    Seeing that the situation was not good, the Yuan family and his son also issued a decree to prevent the outflow of food. It is a pity that the officials below were working hard to gain benefits. Who is still loyal to the Yuan family? This towering tree in Hebei has rotted away from the root system

    "The situation in Hebei is corrupt and the people are divided. I am afraid that within three to five years, it will be annexed by Cao Ying. Cao Cao occupied the Central Plains and led a million troops south. Can the princes in the southern townsHow about living in resistance?

    "The Lord only has one city, Xinye City, and thousands of troops under his command. Where should he go? Without the help of wizards, the situation may be in danger?"  "

    Zhao Yun is a thoughtful person. From the situation in front of him, he imagined that a few years later, the picturesque mountains and rivers will all belong to the Cao family. The wise brother has a vicious vision!

    ?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "The convoy stopped and was inspected. It actually carried a lot of treasures. It must be a Hebei spy. Report it to the general immediately!"

    As soon as the convoy arrived at the gate of the city, it was intercepted by the defenders. The dozen or so carts of gold, silver and jewelry were really eye-catching, not to mention the two ladies who were as beautiful as flowers and jade, absolutely extraordinary!

    The person in charge of the defense of the North Gate was none other than the surrendered general Jiao Chu. After hearing the soldiers¡¯ report, he immediately led a group of men and horses, surrounded the convoy, and prepared to interrogate him!

    "Ta! Ta! ¡ª¡ªWhere are you coming from and where are you going? Do you have any documents to pass the customs?"

    Wearing bronze armor and holding an iron spear, Jiao Chu urged his horse forward to ask questions, his eyes fixed on Zhao Yun. Such a mighty and majestic man was definitely not an ordinary person, and he looked familiar

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

    Zhao Yun showed no fear and answered fluently, he was just going to visit relatives!

    "Who is your relative? Where does he live? Whose name is he?"

    "This is my brother-in-law. He lives at No. 1 Tianzi, Baihu Street. His surname is Xiao!"

    "No. 1, Baihu Street, Tianzi, is the Wuchou Hou Mansion, a family named XiaoDa SimaYour Excellency is Changshan Zhao Zilong!"

    ??¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Jiao Chu suddenly woke up, sat down on his horse and retreated several steps, with a look of fear on his face. He happened to be among Yuan's army in the battle of Jieqiao, and he had seen Zhao Yun's style, galloping freely and with unparalleled power!

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    This is going to be troublesome. The Grand Sima Official has high authority and is respected by everyone. Who dares to offend his uncle? The two of them are sworn brothers and swear to live and die together. Their relationship is very unusual!

    "But Zhao Yun is a general under Liu Bei and is hostile to Cao Ying's group. He rashly let him go. Once the prime minister blames him, he cannot afford it!

    "General Zhao has come a long way, and he is tired from the pommel horse. Please come to the post house to rest for a while, so that the general can fulfill his friendship as a landlord, and it is not too late to pass the customs again!"

    The matter was so important that Jiao Chu did not dare to make a decision. He first invited Zhao Yun and others to enter the city, and then informed his three friends to discuss countermeasures together!

    "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful. Thank you so much, Generalenter the city!"

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

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Ma Yan, Zhang Wei, and Zhang Nan gathered together. After some discussion, everyone felt that the matter was difficult. The Prime Minister¡¯s military order cannot be violated, and the Grand Sima cannot afford to offend!

    The final decision was: ¡®Ask for orders and do not offend anyone¡¯. On the one hand, they freed up their mansion and invited Zhao Yun and his party to stay. They were entertained with good wine and good food. They must be warm, courteous and feel at home!

    On the other hand, they sent Hongling messengers to Xuchang City to report the news. As long as Da Sima sends a message, the matter can be easily solved, and they can also get a favor. For the four surrendered generals, it is a great thing!

    Soon, the messenger was sent out. Liyang is five hundred miles away from Xuchang, and there is a Yellow River to cross. Even if you work hard and travel day and night, it will take three days

    ?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "The villain, following the orders of the Grand Sima, respectfully invites General Zhao to go to Xuchang, so that we can reunite our brothers. The Sixth Lady is looking forward to it and is also waiting for my brother to arrive!"

    Six days later, a team of black armored cavalry arrived. The leader of the team, Lieutenant Commander Xiao Bin, held a gold medal with a tiger head and a warrant from Grand Sima Xiao Yi, with sixteen words on it: "Brother Zilong, brothers and feet.  Because of my love, all checkpoints along the way will be allowed to pass!"

    Da Sima personally gave the order, and things became much easier to handle. Ma Yan, Zhang Wei, Jiao Chu, and Zhang Nan came to the mansion, invited Zhao Yun and his party out, and respectfully sent them out of Liyang City. They also arranged large ships to safely cross the Yellow River.  , escorted by Xuanjia cavalry, we headed directly to Xuchang City. All the cities and checkpoints along the way were unimpeded

    Knowing that his brother was about to arrive, Xiao Yi led a group of soldiers and marched thirty miles out of the city to meet him. The two sworn brothers who were "caring deeply, loving each other, and quarreling over political opinions like enemies" finally met again!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The sworn brothers who were like enemies finally met again!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
