What did the soldiers of the Qiuli Residence Department do in the subject country of Liaodong? Zhao Yi was slightly surprised in his heart, and opened the map of Youzhou to inspect it carefully. The eyes were fixed on the Wuhuan tribe in the northwest of the Liaodong subject country, the Sumuyan department. Zhao Yi's eyes flashed Qiu Liju's intentions, and Zhao Yi could guess without interrogating those soldiers.

Qiu Liju's speed is not slow, as soon as the Nanlou Department loses its value, he has already extended his hand to the Su Muyan Department of the Liaodong Subject State, although the Su Muyan Department is not many, but in the Liaodong Subject State, it is also a first-class force, if it forms an alliance with Qiu Liju. It will definitely stir up the situation in Youzhou, and Zhao Yi will be even more difficult to manage at that time.

"Bring those Wuhuan soldiers in." Zhao Yi slowly knelt down and beckoned the soldiers to bring people in.

These Wuhuan soldiers are also tough, and the escort distance of hundreds of miles has not worn out their sharpness. It took a few soldiers a lot of effort to push the three Wuhuan soldiers into the hall. In order to prevent these people from committing suicide, their mouths were tied with ropes by the soldiers, and their cheeks were strangled with two bloody marks, and their mouths were whining.

Several soldiers pressed it a few times, and the Wuhuan soldier who had just knelt down immediately struggled to stand up. After a few times to no avail, "Forget it, you don't need to make them kneel." Zhao Yi waved his hand to stop the soldiers' movements, and looked at these Wuhuan tribesmen.

These people snorted heavily, twisted their heads elsewhere, and looked like they were being slaughtered by you, this hob meat looked like they were interrogated by the county guards of Liaodong for several days without results, so they could only be escorted to Youzhou and handed over to Zhao Yi for interrogation. Although he didn't get any information from the Wuhuan soldiers, he could also guess that Qiu Liju must have an ulterior motive in sending the soldiers to the Wuhuan tribe, so while sending the soldiers to escort these Wuhuan tribes to Youzhou, he mobilized the army to pay close attention to the movements of Su Muyan's department.

Zhao Yi was very satisfied with the approach of this county guard, which was much better than those officials who only relied on orders to do things. Zhao Yi secretly said in his heart that this county guard is a talent worth excavating, and he should pay more attention.

"Tell me what happened." Zhao Yi asked the Liaodong soldier in front of him.

One of the soldiers in their twenties stood up, bowed to Zhao Yi, and explained in detail the incident without panic, he was a petty official of the Liaodong vassal state, and when he and his comrades-in-arms inspected the border fortress ten days ago, they found that these people were very suspicious.

When the soldiers were sent to check, they encountered their strong resistance, and more than a dozen soldiers could not suppress the three ordinary people in this area, and this little official found that something was wrong, and personally subdued these people, and found the letter written by Qiu Liju to Su Muyan from them.

This matter is very important, this little official did not dare to ask, and sent these people to the county government overnight, but the county guard was helpless against these people, and discussed with the county Cheng and others how to deal with these people.

Hearing this, Zhao Yi's eyes flashed, and he secretly said that escorting people to the state capital was not even an order from the county guard. Asked: "Who proposed to the county guard to take the person to the state capital for me to deal with?" ”

The little official arched his hand slightly, and said without humility or arrogance: "It is the villain." ”

"Oh?" These words made Zhao Yi begin to re-examine the little little official in front of him, "What's your name?" ”

"Villain Gongsun Du." Gongsun Du glanced at Zhao Yi and said his name.

"Gongsun Du?!" Zhao Yi's eyes lit up, this Gongsun Du is also a rare talent. In the future, Liaodong Taishou Gongsun Du was also a famous figure in Youzhou. During the period of chaos in the Central Plains, the military law in various places had no time to look eastward, and Gongsun Du took advantage of the situation to attack Goguryeo in the east, attack Wuhuan in the west, expand the territory, and shock Liaodong.

Seeing Zhao Yi's abnormal expression, Gongsun Du's eyes showed a strange look: "The general knows the villain? "Although Gongsun Du is talented, he has never been known. Although he was a petty official in Liaodong, no one favored him, and his political performance was mediocre, even if Zhao Yi had heard of him, it was impossible for him to show such a gaffe expression.

Zhao Yi coughed lightly, hiding the excitement in his heart: "No, the official just remembered something," and then Zhao Yi calmed down the excitement in his heart and asked, "What position do you hold in the subject country of Liaodong?" ”

"The villain is a captain in the Liucheng settlement." Gongsun Du said.

Captain Wu? Zhao Yi smiled bitterly, and secretly said that this talent was really buried, and Wu Chang was just an officer the size of a sesame seed, one level shorter than the ten people in Zhao Yi's army. In the future, Zhao Yi, the warlord general who shocked Liaodong, naturally wanted to grasp it firmly in his hands.

praised Gongsun Du: "You did a good job on this errand, don't go back to the subject country of Liaodong, I will promote you to the captain of the state capital, and you will do things in Youzhou in the future." ”

Gongsun Du looked at Zhao Yi in disbelief, he couldn't believe that what he heard was true, he was promoted from a small captain to a captain, which was simply skyrocketing. Gongsun Du trembled with excitement, and knelt on the ground with a puff: "Lord Xie." "Gongsun Du's appointment of Zhao Yi is very strange, he and Lord Zhao are only meeting for the first time today, even if he has just spoken well, he also has some talent. Lord Zhao wouldn't have promoted his official position so quickly, right? Gongsun Du didn't understand why Zhao Yi favored him, but he didn't ask very interestingly, with such a good thing, he naturally had to hurry up, for people like Gongsun Du who had never met with talent, this kind of opportunity could be said to be encounterable but not sought, he naturally just had to seize it.

Captain Youzhou not only has a high official position, but also is not too far away from Zhao Yi, Gongsun Du is confident that he can jump farther on this high springboard.

"Do you know why this official promoted you exceptionally?" Zhao Yi looked at Gongsun Du, whose excited eyes were a little red, and laughed in his heart.

"I don't know what I do." Gongsun Du's role changed very quickly, and he claimed to have changed from a villain just now to a lowly position, which was obviously a notch.

"At present, the situation in Youzhou is bad, and this official urgently needs a general like you who has the brains to judge." Zhao Yi sighed, quite lonely. "Although this officer has promoted you to the position of captain, this is just a foundation for you, and how far you can go in the future depends on your own ability."

Zhao Yi has already made it very clear that you are promoted to lieutenant because of your talent and potential, but if you are promoted to the position of lieutenant, there is no merit. Zhao Yi will remove him and let someone else take the position.

Zhao Yi's words made Gongsun Du's pressure double, his mood could be described as ups and downs, his face changed drastically, and he said in his heart that Zhao Yi had so many fierce generals, how could he compete with them. It is estimated that this lieutenant will be dismissed by Zhao Yi in less than two months.

Zhao Yi saw Gongsun Du's face change sharply, and he could vaguely guess what Gongsun Du was thinking: "Lieutenant, you can rest assured, since this official has promoted you to this position, he will naturally give you the opportunity to make contributions." ”

These words made Gongsun Du stabilize his mind, and Gongsun Du was still very confident in his ability, and fell to the ground on the spot and kowtowed solemnly to Zhao Yi: "The general's kindness, although Gongsun Du is dead, it is difficult to repay it." ”

What Zhao Yi wants is Gongsun Du's words, people in this era attach great importance to kindness and righteousness, especially brotherhood and the grace of knowing each other, even if they die, they will not betray.

Zhao Yi personally helped Gongsun Du up: "The captain is in a hurry, let's go down and rest today, and officially take office tomorrow." ”

"Master Xie." Gongsun Du saluted Zhao Yi solemnly, and bowed out of the hall door all the time, and then walked out with his head held high, which can be described as a spring breeze, he came to Youzhou to escort the Wuhuan soldiers, and secondly, to see Zhao Yi with his own eyes, this famous figure in Youzhou. He didn't expect Zhao Yi to value himself so much, but at this time, he really felt like another village, and the previous decadence had been swept away.

Seeing this situation, several soldiers who came with Gongsun Du showed a look of surprise in their eyes, and Zhao Yi, who was the state pastor, ignored the Wuhuan people who were escorted here, and instead promoted Gongsun Du, which made the soldiers who came with him not only surprised, but also a little remorseful. They didn't know that Zhao Yi knew the future, so they could know how to make good use of it. I only think that Gongsun Du is just eloquent, and he tells the story very clearly. If they knew that this would make Zhao Yi favored, how could they let Gongsun Du speak alone.

Thinking of this, these soldiers introduced themselves to Zhao Yi one after another, clearly explaining their current official positions and what happened along the way, wanting to win Zhao Yi's favor.

Zhao Yi had no impression of these names, and he felt very boring about the things in the itinerary described. However, he still had a warm smile on his face, and he didn't speak quietly and listened quietly, let these people finish speaking, Zhao Yi can understand the mood of these people, but seeing Zhao Yi promote Gongsun Du, they also want to use the same method to win their favor, so that they can also reward them with an official and a half-position, even if it is a county governor, they are also content.

But how could the abilities of these people be comparable to Gongsun Du, so when they finished speaking, Zhao Yi spoke: "Several escort spies have worked hard day and night. After saying this, Zhao Yi turned his head and said to Cheng Yin: "Pass my order and reward a few strong men with a hundred taels of silver." ”

Only rewarded the silver, but did not promote the official position, which made a few people a little disappointed, with a bitter face bowed down to receive the order, although a hundred taels of silver is a lot, but it is better to give yourself an official and a half position, as long as you have power, then the silver is not a lot of flying over.

Cheng Yin saw that the escorted soldiers had left, and glanced at the escorted Wuhuan soldiers and asked Zhao Yi: "My lord, how should these Wuhuan soldiers be handled?" ”

Zhao Yi glanced at it casually, and said directly: "Push it out and cut it." ”

"What?!" Not only Cheng Yin, but even Dian Wei and others were very surprised by Zhao Yi's actions, several soldiers from Liaodong vassal countries escorted them here from hundreds of miles, and Zhao Yi didn't even ask, so he ordered the soldiers to push him out and behead him, which was not in line with the rules and unreasonable.

"These Wuhuan soldiers are Qiu Liju's cronies, and the county guards of Liaodong are not capable of making them speak, and it is naturally difficult for the official to let them speak. Besides, since we have seized the letter, it is of no use for the messenger to keep it. Zhao Yi's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he waved his hand to let the soldiers drag these people down. After that, I picked up the letter I had just presented and looked at it.

The more Zhao Yi looked at it, the more gloomy his face became, and finally Zhao Yi shook his head and sighed. Cheng Yin saw Zhao Yi's expression and asked, "My lord, what did you say in the letter?" ”

When the soldiers reported just now, Cheng Yin had already guessed that the content of the letter was that Qiu Liju planned to unite the Sumuyan tribe. Zhao Yi could naturally guess. But looking at Zhao Yi's face, the content in his heart was clearly beyond Zhao Yi's expectations, could there be something else in the letter.

Seeing Zhao Yi handing over the letter, Cheng Yin hurriedly took it over and looked through it carefully.
