Gongsun Chan had already returned to Youzhou with his men and began to keep an eye on Xianbei and Karasuma.

But Xianbei and Karasuma are now calm, and they can't see it at all, and they have the intention of gathering a large army to attack Dahan.

Gongsun Zhan thought that Liu Yu deliberately blackmailed him to come back, but the spies sent to the grassland had received news in recent days, all of which showed that what Liu Yu said in his previous letters was true and not exaggerated.

It's just that they made a big mistake in their judgment based on Xianbei's results. Xianbei had no intention of attacking Dahan.

Although Gongsun Chan sent spies to the grassland, these spies were of average level and did not know the specific situation of that battle, and they did not know much about Xianbei's current situation.

They can only inquire about a few big tribes in Xianbei now, but they don't even know how many people there are in these big tribes, and what is the ratio of men, women, and children.

Therefore, even if Xianbei seems to have no intention of attacking Youzhou for the time being, Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu do not dare to be careless.

A large number of checkpoints have been set up at the border to guard against Xianbei.

……

Settled in Taihang Mountain, Zhao Hui has either been outside or in the Yellow Turban Village of Heifeng Village in recent years, and rarely appears in Shanggu County.

On average, he only comes to Uetani once in about half a year.

Today's Upper Valley County has also changed dramatically from a few years ago.

The streets and shops in the city are filled with a wide variety of goods. The ruffians are nowhere to be seen.

Officials, soldiers, and families, no one relies on their own identities to bully and dominate the market here, and collect the people's fat and ointment.

It has the best business environment in the whole of Dahan, and all transactions are voluntary, fair and just.

Even the people of the steppe tribes will not be treated unfairly here. The price of something is what it should be.

If you are not satisfied with the current price, the seller can not sell, and the buyer can not buy.

Here you can buy animal skins from the grassland, you can buy silk from the Central Plains, and you can buy tea from Shuzhong.

Even in other counties in Youzhou, there are many people who come to Shanggu County to buy all kinds of things they need.

In addition to commerce, the cultural development of Shanggu County is also a level higher than that of other counties in Youzhou.

Because there is a bookstore, even if a poor person knows how to read, he can come to the bookstore, see the books they want, and learn what they want to learn.

Although he is not yet the lord of Shanggu County, Zhao Hui has long regarded Shanggu County as his own territory, and has spared no effort in developing Shanggu County and improving the commercial, cultural and entertainment benefits of Shanggu County.

These investments in the early stage will eventually bring rich returns to Zhao Hui in the future.

The various families in Shanggu County have been controlled by the young people trained by Zhao Hui.

The older generation of the heads of these families have either burped, or they think that they are incompetent, abdicate and make way for Xian, and live in the family for a long time, no longer asking about the world.

Song Ren, the head of the Song family, is now enjoying happiness in a certain city in the Central Plains. Everything in the Song family in Shanggu County has been decided by Song Bin.

Although Song Bin is not the head of the Song family now, no one in the Song family dares to question what he said.

Those who dared to challenge Song Bin's authority were either dead or had already been squeezed out.

Zhao Hui walked in from the city gate, looking at the shops on both sides of the street and the endless flow of people along the way.

Such prosperity is rare in the entire Han Dynasty, and it is unique in Youzhou.

The current Shanggu County, in terms of population, is not much different from the most prosperous counties in the Central Plains.

The number of people living in the city was newly counted just last month. There are already 300,000 people.

The displaced people who had been building grass huts have begun to move into the city in recent years.

With the money they borrowed from the bank, they bought their own house in the city.

Here they see hope, they see light. Even if this is not their hometown, even if they are not used to the ambient temperature here, they are willing to live here.

Living and working in peace and contentment, this is the longing life engraved in the bones of the Han people, and no one wants to run around in this era of rampant bandits and wars, and there is no fixed place to live.

Especially these displaced people who have already experienced exile, each of them has seen countless corpses dying on the side of the road.

and countless of their companions in exile, some of whom fell asleep and never woke up.

Some of them walked and walked, still talking a moment ago, still imagining what they would be able to eat in the next city. The next moment, he fell silently on the side of the road, unable to get up again.

"Guest officer, do you want to come in and take a look, the tea in this store is imported from Shuzhong, and they are all excellent tea."

A tea vendor shouted loudly when he saw Zhao Hui walking in front of the store.

"No need." Zhao Hui refused with a smile.

He drank tea, but not for long, just like wine. More often than not, Zhao Hui only drinks boiled plain water.

Walking through three bustling streets, Zhao Hui came to the most central area of the county town, where the Taishou Mansion was located.

It's a much quieter place than the streets outside, and it's mostly a mansion, and it's the residence of people of some status in Ueya-gun.

If you can buy a house around the Taishou Mansion, your net worth will not be bad.

Unless it is mandatory, rich people will always choose where they live in the best place for them.

In front of the gate of Taishou Mansion, Tai Shici, Song Shan and others were already guarding here.

After seeing Zhao Hui's figure, Qi Qi shouted: "Lord." ”

After so many years of secret operation, today, Zhao Hui finally chose to meet Taishou Xu Kuan.

This is the first time Zhao Hui has entered the Taishou Mansion, but he has already memorized the drawings in the Taishou Mansion, and Zhao Hui knows which room Xu Kuan is in at the moment without being guided.

Xu Kuan in the room, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and after hearing the sound of neat footsteps outside, the whole person collapsed on the chair, unable to stand up.

He didn't want to die, so when he knew that he had been set up and placed under house arrest, Xu Kuan didn't resist.

He thought he would die, but he didn't expect this day to come so soon. It was difficult for him to accept this fate.

The few women who had been with him had already been taken away by Song Shan at this time.

He would love to meet the people behind the scenes.

But he would rather wait until twenty years later.

The current Xu Kuan is completely reluctant to this world of flowers.

At the beginning, he spent so much money to become this Taishou, and he had just enjoyed it for two years, and he was about to embark on Huangquan Road, Xu Kuan felt that it was too much of a loss.

I have to enjoy at least twenty years to live my life in vain.

The door of the house was pushed open, and Xu Kuan finally saw the man in front of him clearly, with shaved cheeks, a pair of eyes as deep as the sea, and a straight body, even if he was wearing a robe, he couldn't hide the majesty of his body.

With just a glance, Xu Kuan knew that the person in front of him was the most resolute person he had ever seen.

This kind of perseverance is engraved in his bones, and he doesn't need to look at what he usually does, as long as he sees his face and his body, such thoughts will naturally arise in his heart.

It seems that even if the sky falls, this person will not give up and will carry the sky up.
