Yecheng!

In the fields outside the city, people can already be seen plowing and sowing seeds.

When they saw Zhao Yun returning with two thousand heavy armored cavalry, no one was afraid, but some people put down their work and came to the side of the road to cheer for Zhao Yun and the two thousand heavy armored cavalry.

In the newspaper, it has been published that Zhao Yun entered Karasuma this time.

The people of the four prefectures of Hebei, even if many people have not read the newspaper, they have heard the people around them talk about it.

No matter when a large army goes out and returns victorious, it is always easy to be uplifted.

The army is strong, and the hearts of the people will be more reassured.

This year, they don't have to worry about it, there will be Karasuma Xianbei people coming south to grab food.

They can plough a few more acres of land in the spring.

This time, the three tribes of Karasuma were exterminated, and the population was distributed to the other tribes of Karasuma, but Zhao Yun still brought a lot of cattle and sheep back.

Mutton is much cheaper, so that some people can grit their teeth and buy a pound to stew at home.

And the cattle brought back made the people even more happy.

Some people who were originally going to rent cattle have begun to consider whether to take advantage of this time to buy a cow and come back.

Although the people of Youzhou in Jizhou have a much better life than before.

But not everyone has a plough cow yet.

In a village, there are hundreds of households, but the number of people who own cattle rarely exceeds ten.

A large number of people still go to the government to rent cattle, and in the poor peasant households, they can't even afford to rent cattle, so they can only use their own strength, work a little more this year, cultivate a few more acres, and look forward to being able to rent ploughing cattle in the coming year.

Those who can afford to rent a ploughing cow this year also want to cultivate a few more acres of land, and then next year, they will buy a ploughing ox for themselves.

A ploughing ox now costs 50,000 yuan.

For ordinary people, it is still too difficult to come up with 50,000 yuan at once.

However, because this time, Zhao Yun brought back a large number of cattle and sheep, and there will be a lot of these cattle and sheep, and they will be sold, so now the people can buy a cow from the government at a price 10,000 yuan below the market price.

Many people are thinking about raising money and then going to buy a cow and come back.

With their own cattle, they will have more land to cultivate and earn more in a year.

If there is a family with farming cattle, the farming cattle are the most important property in the family, and when they are not in use, they will also rent them to others.

Mao Jue was also in the team, and he was not imprisoned in the prison car, so it was not very obvious.

The people by the roadside did not see him.

From Karasuma, all the way to Yecheng, across Youzhou Jizhou.

For such cheers, Mao Jue is used to it.

It's just that in his heart, the more incredible it feels.

Along the way, he saw Zhao Hui's prestige in Hebei, and also saw the people's attitude towards Zhao Hui's army.

For Zhao Yun, who returned, it was almost a cheer.

I thought it was just a place, but all the way over, everywhere I went, the people were cheering, this was definitely not an illusion, Mao Jue could see that the cheers of those people were from the heart, not forced by people.

This made Mao Jue feel terrible.

With such popular opinions, who can shake Zhao Hui's status in Hebei.

Can Cao Cao really do it?

When Yuan Shao was in Jizhou, Mao Jue also thought that Cao Cao had a chance of winning.

But now, the four states of Hebei belong to Zhao Hui.

Zhao Hui treats the people well and wins the hearts of the people, and now no matter who comes in place, these people will not agree.

The taxes levied by Zhao Hui were very low, and the people's lives became better again, and their families had a balance.

But all this, Mao Jue has another view.

Zhao Hui's taxes are low now, but it doesn't mean that there is less money and food.

It's just that it's still in the hands of the people, and when Zhao Hui needs it, he can naturally ask for it from the people.

With Zhao Hui's current prestige, as long as he gives an order, the people of Youzhou in Jizhou will definitely not refuse.

As for Qingzhou and the state, Mao Jue has not been there, and Zhao Hui has not been there, so Mao Jue is still difficult to determine.

I don't know what Zhao Hui's prestige is in those two states.

As the procession entered the city, the cheers grew louder.

There were also many women, waving handkerchiefs.

They are heroes, and they are treated like heroes.

The heavily armored cavalry returned to the camp, and Zhao Yun Gaolan took Mao Yu to meet Zhao Hui.

"Mao Jue, are you willing to surrender me?"

"Zhao Hui, you rebel minister, how dare you ask me to surrender, we are the ministers of the Han Dynasty, you want me to surrender to you, don't you want to be the second Yuan Shu?"

It wasn't Mao Jue who spoke, but another person in the mission.

"Who are you?"

"I, Chen Ji."

"What position do you hold in the imperial court?"

Zhao Hui had never heard of his name.

"I'm the master of the Sikong Mansion."

"Hmph, it turned out to be the traitor Cao Cao's person, pull it down and cut it down." Zhao Hui ordered.

Zhang Wang grabbed Chen Ji with one hand, as if he was carrying a chicken.

"Zhao Hui, you traitor, you don't have to die well." Chen Ji shouted loudly, he did not beg for mercy.

It's just that he didn't shout a few words, and his voice stopped abruptly.

Later, Zhang Wang walked in with a blood-dripping sword.

"My lord, Chen Ji is dead."

Zhao Hui nodded and looked at Mao Jue, as well as the rest of the others.

"Cao thief controls the court, puts the Son of Heaven under house arrest, executes the ministers of the court at will, and even the harem concubines are poisoned by him, so do you still have to work for him?"

Except for Mao Jue, most of the others did not dare to look directly at Zhao Hui.

One person had already been beheaded, and they were terrified at the moment, and a large number of people immediately knelt down.

"We are willing to surrender."

No one can see death as home.

They are in the steppe, they have had enough of the torture, they have already survived so much suffering, why should they cut off their heads here.

Stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood.

They will not lose their lives for Cao Cao.

However, their surrender is not particularly concerned about Zhao Hui.

He could kill Chen Ji with one sword, and if the others didn't surrender, Zhao Hui would kill them all without hesitation.

In this mission sent by Cao Cao, all Zhao Hui wanted most was Mao Jue.

Mao Jue is also a celebrity, and he is also very capable.

This time, if it weren't for Ma Bo's informant and cooperating with the Gude Department to get Mao Jue and his party drunk, it would really make Mao Jue happen, and he wouldn't be able to catch Mao Jue.

These twenty people, although only Mao Jue is the most famous, and the others have no names, but they follow Mao Jue to the grassland, and their skills are very good.

"Mao Jue, if your heart is to the big man, you will abandon Cao Cao and me, if you still want to serve Cao Cao, then I have nothing to say, I can only send your head back to Cao Cao." Zhao Hui said.

Mao Jue was also entangled in his heart.

"Mao Jue, along the way, you have also seen the people's livelihood in Youzhou and Jizhou, how does it compare with Yanzhou?"

"Cao Cao, can you give the people such a life?"

Faced with Zhao Hui's questioning, Mao Jue couldn't answer.

Because he knew in his heart that Cao Cao couldn't.

"Mao Jue, I am willing to surrender to the general."
