Tong Yuan planned to make a special inspection of the county before leaving Shangjun and returning to Xiayang. As his territory expanded, it was likely that this would be the last time he would inspect the counties within a county.

In the future, it will be commanded against the counties, I don't know if it will be separated from the grassroots people and people, and the farther away from them?

He secretly swore in his heart that he would not be a loner in the palace, and strive to become a new emperor who was always with the grassroots soldiers and ordinary people and could enjoy the picture scroll of the times.

He didn't know it, and at the same time, another figure secretly swore in his heart that he hoped to follow Guangwu and revive the Han family in one fell swoop.

A few days later, Tong Yuan, who was still in Gaonu City, met the envoy sent by Dong Bai. The messenger brought only a letter, and there was no verbal message.

Tong Yuan read the letter and saw at a glance that this writing was written by Cai Yan, but he didn't pay too much attention to the writing, but was shocked by the content.

Huangfu Song, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan and Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian, who were entrenched in Wudu, all died at the end of last year.

That Huangfu Song has been sick for more than half a year, especially after last spring, and it has become more and more serious.

Previously, he had spent a lot of time planning a lot of things with a scribe. Next, he was obscure and deliberately low-key and depressed.

No, his pretended low-key ended up being really low-key. Later, he didn't know what news he got, so he took the initiative to avoid Wudu County, and he couldn't afford to be sick ever since.

After his death, the county soldiers of the department were swallowed up by the Yongzhou Assassin Shi Jiaxu, but thousands of elite troops disappeared and disappeared, and they did not know where they went.

And Liu Yan was devastated after the defeat of his son in the last round, and a fire broke out in Mianzhu, his station, and all the cars and passengers of the Son of Heaven were burned down, and he had to move to Chengdu. Coupled with the accusations of the court and the world against him, he was even more embarrassed.

In this way, Liu Yan arrived in Chengdu and became seriously ill. In the end, he prudently instructed his youngest son Liu Zhang, important ministers Pang Yi, Zhao Wei, Zhang Song, etc., to recuperate, appease the people of Dongzhou, strive to absorb more talents from the Central Plains, and lay the foundation for the restoration of the Han Dynasty.

At this point, Liu Yan died of illness, and Liu Zhang succeeded him as the pastor of Yizhou.

And Tao Qian's matter is even more familiar. Similar to Sanrang Xuzhou, under the efforts of Tao Qian before his death, as well as the persuasion of Mi Zhu, Chen Deng, and Kong Rong, he ruled Xuzhou as the assassin of Yuzhou.

At this time, Liu Bei had the original elite of Youzhou, as well as thousands of poor refugees, and received 4,000 Danyang soldiers allocated to him by Tao Qian. At this time, the strength is quite strong, and it has officially become a force that cannot be ignored.

Of course, Dong Bai and others have limited knowledge, and they don't know what kind of heroes will emerge in these changes. But Tong Yuan secretly wrote it down, knowing that he needed to speed up his pace, otherwise he would have to rob Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang with Liu Bei. If Liu Bei is allowed to go that far, it is estimated that he will just add to his own trouble.

In fact, Liu Bei is already gathering talents from all walks of life. Chen Dao, who had been contacted by the Four Seas Merchant Gang before, had already responded to the call and joined his command with his headquarters because he admired Liu Bei's personality and took a fancy to his heroic skills.

Talent, the one under Gongsun Zhan, must not be given to Liu Xuande.

At this time, Gongsun Chan also staged a big drama there.

"These people are all wicked people who oppress the people and run rampant in the township, kill them all!"

Gongsun Zhan's order was not immediately executed, after all, the people he ordered to kill were all well-known good people in Youzhou. Even if they once supported Liu Yu, there was no reason to harm them.

Gongsun Chan glared at his subordinates angrily, these people said that they were following him to expel the captives, and they were not some cowardly and useless people.

Zhao Yun was not afraid, took a step forward, and persuaded: "General, please calm your anger, most of these people are people with very good reputations, if you kill them, I am afraid that you will lose the hearts of the people and hinder others from taking refuge." ”

Seeing that it was Zhao Yun who persuaded him, Gongsun Zhan replied in a strange manner: "Zilong, what's the matter with you." Half a year ago, you also said the same thing, persuading me to let Tian Chou go. Now that I talk about it, why is it still like this? Does it mean that I haven't grown up, and I'm wrong again and again? ”

Zhao Yun has been in the past almost a year, and he has seen Gongsun Chan change from being full of pride to being high-flying, and he is sure to report all kinds of things in the past.

At first, he came back from Liu Bei's side because of the death of his brother and his righteousness to Gongsun Zhan. Although this righteousness is far inferior to his relationship and righteousness with Liu Bei, how could he, who has only been in Gongsun Chan for a short time, leave directly and do such an act that violates his life code?

It's just this year, but it's enough for him to see a lot. Gongsun Zhan is no longer as simple as believing in strength, in addition to retribution, he has no ambition and does not know the world and the people, which makes Zhao Yun very uncomfortable.

At this time, he was ridiculed by Gongsun Zhan like this, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. But he was in good spirits, and since he followed him, how could he sit back and watch the fallacy and ignore it?

Just as he was about to speak out, a young scribe stood next to him and said first: "Tell the general, Zilong said this for the general." It is correct for the general to be able to protect the interests of the border army and punish some traitors who fall to Yuan Shao, but there are more reasons to do so."

In the end, Gongsun Chan only listened to the opinions temporarily, and I don't know if the idea of killing and celebrating people will come up again in a few days.

After it was over, Zhao Yun and Tian Yu glanced at each other and sighed softly.

Tian Yu, who was still a little younger, spoke first: "In this troubled time, you should use heavy codes, and General Baima is not too much wrong in doing this." ”

Zhao Yun said: "The more troubled the times, the more we should cherish the people and beliefs." Before, General White Horse was able to stand up and resist the aliens, and he was a hero I admired. However, heroes must not act recklessly, and if they cannot adhere to that righteousness and righteousness, they will eventually lose the direction of progress. ”

Tian Yu smiled a little helplessly: "Why do I think you are a little similar to Brother Zitai." He was loyal to Liu Yu, annoyed the general, and finally with the help of you and me, he got rid of the restraints and went to live in seclusion in the Xu Wu Mountain. ”

Zhao Yun said: "He serves Liu Yu, and I follow General Baima, which is our difference." But he was bent on avenging Liu Yu and did not hide his righteousness, which is something I admire and is worth learning from him. ”

Tian Yu frowned slightly and asked, "Oh, seriously?" We are all from the border counties, why am I the only one who believes in strength and heroism? ”

Zhao Yun smiled slightly: "I and the country both worship heroes, and I and Brother Zitai both pursue righteousness, maybe General Baima will insist on going his own way after all, so I will do my duty." There is just one sentence, and I would like to say something to the national envoy. ”

Tian Yu hurriedly replied seriously: "Please Brother Zilong, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Zhao Yun raised his head slightly towards the south and said, "Maybe there are still heroes in this world who have been fighting, and he may also be quite righteous." ”

His words, of course, refer to Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, who both he and Tian Yu had followed.
