Since then, Gongsun Chan has won and lost against foreign enemies, but rarely adopts Liu Yu's overly gentle and gentle approach. As a result, this was also the reason for the feud between the two, until the situation was out of control.

He said, "Since we have the same expectations for this land, why did Brother Zitai come here specifically for this?" Is it to help Liu He eliminate Gongsun Zhan, so intercept me? ”

Tian Chou looked up to the sky and sighed, and said, "Now Liu He, the son of Da Sima, is almost the puppet of Yuan Shao, and it is estimated that it will be useless to use him to take down Gongsun Zan and then subdue Youzhou." ”

"You asked me why I intercepted you, of course not for Yuan Shao or Liu He. Rather, I want to ask you, do you really think that Gongsun Chan can develop Youzhou, or that Liaodong Gongsun Du is suitable to rule here? ”

"Well, that's a sharp question."

Zhao Yun sweated in his heart, but fortunately, he also thought about this matter day and night, and he had already had some opinions, so he would not be directly asked.

He said, "Gongsun Du has some merit and ability to guard the frontier, but he is ambitious, and he is by no means a master. And Gongsun Chan"

Zhao Yun paused slightly, and said honestly, "He is a general who conquers one side, which makes the surrounding Hu people feel afraid." ”

"In terms of development, although I agree with his choice of path, it is disappointing in operation, and even Tian Yu Tian Guorang cannot be truly reused, which has to be said to be the reason for the inevitable decline."

Tian Chou's eyes widened when he heard this, and he asked, "Since Zilong knows so clearly and has returned to his hometown, why are you running so desperately for him?" ”

Zhao Yun said solemnly, "For the sake of righteousness, although the Four Seas Merchant Gang is obviously because of the reasons over the state, they have mobilized a lot of forces to help Gongsun Zhan. But I will not back down because of the expectations of many righteous people. ”

"Just like Brother Zitai's loyalty to Liu Yu, the country makes him yearn for the righteous and strong, and I love the righteous people in the world. Where righteousness lies, it is invoked by gentian. ”

Tian Chou said, "I once wanted to avenge Da Sima and assassinate Gongsun Zhan, but that kind of thinking would make me turn my back on many people, and put Xu Wushan's people in danger. ”

"In the end, I inherited some of Da Sima's ideas and abilities, and lived in seclusion to develop people's livelihood. However, for Wuhuan and Xianbei, they can only be harmonious, and cannot expel the thieves. ”

Zhao Yun said: "I follow in the footsteps of General Baima and crusade against all enemies who cause trouble. However, even he, who was able to achieve one military victory after another, was now alone in the city, sighing day and night. ”

"Maybe it's not enough to be loyal and chivalrous, just like Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan, they can't spell out a road that is getting wider and wider in this troubled world."

Tian Chou nodded and said, "Yes." I mentioned Tian Yu just now, Tian Guorang, I am a little optimistic about him, maybe his skills are suitable for the future of this land. ”

Zhao Yun sighed, "Indeed, the country is proficient in military, civil affairs, and foreign races. He knows how to resolutely crack down on whom to deal with, who to be gentle with, and is good at developing people's livelihood, which is very admirable. ”

But he was also a little confused, and he didn't know where the road ahead was. The three of us are each good at different fields, and we are even serving different lords. But they are all in a similar predicament and have similar confusion. ”

Tian Chou sighed: "This fate? ”

Zhao Yun said, "Even if fate is like this, I will use my courage to conquer the enemy and fight a path for the sake of justice." ”

Tian Chou also said, "Even if fate is like this, I will use my skills to let the people here live a stable life for the sake of loyalty." ”

The setting sun shines on the sea in the distance, making the tidal flats appear peaceful and quiet, and this scene highlights the determination of the two men.

In the other direction of Youzhou, a young man who was about to step into the northernmost military capital before Taihang also looked back at the plain behind him.

Tian Yu tossed and turned and couldn't sleep in the past few days, but his eyes gradually became firm, and he was no longer full of guilt for Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao.

The best young people here are sticking to their own paths and taking resolute steps towards the same goal.

Tian Chou personally sent Zhao Yun to the beach, let him rest for one night, and then set off on a big merchant ship tomorrow.

Zhao Yun asked, "How did Brother Zitai know that I would come here?" Don't the people of the Four Seas Merchant Gang know that you hate Gongsun Zhan? ”

Tian Chou said: "Although I have a lot of dealings with the Four Seas Merchant Gang, they didn't tell me about it. However, since he is a businessman and is still engaged in intelligence, it is not difficult to obtain it through exchange. ”

Zhao Yun immediately figured out why he was anxious about the future, and even tossing and turning, he could be known by Tian Chou. It turns out that although the people around him are their own people, they will also tell other people about their own people

Tian Chou continued, "I did have the intention of stopping you, but I can't stop you with my alone. Instead of stopping it, it's better to ask what you think, as long as you're not just for Gongsun Chan, that's fine. ”

Zhao Yun said, "My actions are for righteousness and a better future for this land, not for the foolish loyalty of Gongsun Zhan." If he was foolish, I wouldn't leave him who was getting more and more confused. ”

"Although, this time he cheered up again, but if he really wants to lead Youzhou to revitalize, I'm afraid it won't be his turn."

Tian Chou sent Zhao Yun to the beach, and the merchant ships prepared by the Four Seas Merchant Gang were ready. In this era, the technology of sea ships was not very mature, and the power was mainly a mixture of oars and sails, and the navigation was generally not too far from land.

The two officially said goodbye, Tian Chou wished Zhao Yun smooth sailing, Zhao Yun expected Tian Chou to make people's livelihood better, the two were of similar age, and had the same friends with different positions and had to separate again.

Perhaps, it is difficult for them to work together one day, but if they arrive on that day, it means that their respective paths have finally converged.

Fu Zhu led 10,000 soldiers and horses, and encountered the obstruction of Zhang Yan's army in Puyin, Taihang Mountain.

Most of the Zhongshan Kingdom on the west side of Jizhou was under Yuan Shao's jurisdiction.

However, the western side, including the Guheng Mountain and most of the mountainous areas at that time, was controlled by the Montenegrin Army. At this time, Hengshan was renamed Changshan because it avoided Emperor Liu Heng of the Han Dynasty. The ancient Heng Mountain itself belongs to the Zhongshan country, and its southern part belongs to the Changshan country.

Guangchang County, which Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses must pass through to Daijun, that is, Laiyuan County in later generations, was in the sphere of influence of the Montenegrin Army.

The original plan was not to fight the Montenegrin army, and then quickly enter Puyin, and head north into the hilly plains of the southern part of Daijun.

No, the Montenegrin army seems to have gotten the news a long time ago, and first led the army to the nearby Tang County, Wangdu, Puyin and other counties, forcing Fu Zhi to have to be saved. Then concentrate the main force, intending to flank the front and rear when the frustration is relieved of a certain place.
