Chapter 39 Hebei is eroded, and the general thinks of danger!
"Wheels! …… Wheel! ”
The two ladies were delicate, and the treasure vehicles were heavy, so the convoy was slow, and they traveled fifty or sixty miles a day, but fortunately, Zhao Yun was mighty, holding guns day and night, and there were no mistakes on the way, and it took a full five days to finally come to the outside of Liyang City!
Liyang City is located on the north bank of the Yellow River, the city is tall, the defense is strong, the traffic arteries are guarded, it is a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, during the Guandu War, let Xiao Yi sneak attack successfully, fell into the control of the Cao army, and now stationed 100,000 heavy soldiers, like a sharp sword, hanging above the head of the Yuan group, so that the Yuan father and son can not sleep well!
Responsible for the defense of Liyang City, it is Ma Yan, Zhang Yi, Jiao Touch, Zhang Nan four generals, under the command of 100,000 horses, most of them are also Hebei troops, with the general to lead the surrender of troops, and stationed in the city, such an amazing move, is Cao Cao's arrangement, seems incredible, in fact, ingenious, and has three major benefits:
First, reuse the generals and guard the city, which can collect people's hearts, and also let the soldiers and civilians of Hebei see that the mind and bearing of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty will inevitably descend to the Northern Expedition in the future, and the generals will inevitably be demoted like a tide, and the officials will be demoted like hair!
Second, the 100,000 soldiers are all Hebei disciples, if they are brought back to Cao Yingpan, it is inevitable that they will be homesick and rebel, so it is better to settle in Liyang City, let them step on the land of their hometown, and the army will be stable!
Third, these generals and soldiers were all abandoned by the Yuan family and his son in times of crisis, and they were extremely resentful, hated the Yuan family to the core, went into battle to fight, and fought hard, and they were more brave than the people of the Cao army's headquarters!
Facts have proved that Cao Cao's decision-making is wise, the four generals will be stationed in Liyang City, training soldiers and horses, strengthening the city defense, and doing things extremely carefully, after the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao sent troops several times, wanting to recapture the gateway land, but were killed and retreated by the four people!
Seeing that the strong attack could not work, Yuan Shao sent envoys with official seals, gold and silver, trying to persuade the four to surrender to the generals and return to the Hebei group, as a result, the four killed the envoys, and the heads were hung on the city to show their allegiance to Cao Ying, according to their words: "Cao Cheng is wise and martial, and he is not suspicious of using people, and he pushes people in the belly with his naked heart. ”
"The third prince escorted all the way, the last general is grateful, if there is a goodbye day, I must thank you a lot, please go back!"
When he came to Liyang City, Zhao Yun collected the silver gun in his hand, and prepared to release Yuan Shang, such a gentleman, it is useless to kill him, but to complain about Yuan Shao, it is better to let him go back!
"General Zilong's subordinates are merciful, they are really honest people, if they come to Hebei in the future, this son will greet him, and we will have a period later!"
Yuan Shang said a few words, then turned the horse's head and ran away...... There will be a period after the ghost, so it's best to never see each other!
After letting go of Yuan Shang, Zhao Yun commanded the convoy to move forward, until he came to the Liyang City Gate, where there was a lot of traffic, pedestrians like clouds, all merchants from the south to the north, if it weren't for the sergeant patrol, the guard was heavy, almost forgot that this was the war!
As the saying goes: the sword mountain and the sea of fire, cut off the continuous trade routes, the more during the war, the more profitable, therefore, the merchants run day and night, back and forth between the two camps, only recognize gold, not afraid of knives!
The spies and spies on both sides also took the opportunity to mix in the caravan, infiltrated the other party's area, and spied on all kinds of intelligence.
However, the caravans traveled from south to north, transporting goods completely differently, and the caravans on the Cao Ying side all took real money and silver to buy goods in Hebei, and they did not pick anything, grain, cloth, medicinal materials, livestock, iron, and bronze...... All of them were swept away and transported back to the south bank in a steady stream!
To tell the truth, Cao Ying worked hard, Yuan's rampant expropriation, after many years of confrontation, the prices of goods and grain on the south bank were far lower than those on the north bank, and the people were richer.
Hebei business travel greedy, but also continue to add fuel to the fire, in just a few months, make the silver as cheap as iron, prices soaring, only in terms of grain, a bucket of rice is worth 30,000 or 40,000 yuan, more than the year of famine, the people are hungry, starvation to death countless, the situation is more and more turbulent!
Seeing that the situation is not good, Yuan's father and son also issued a decree to stop the outflow of food, but unfortunately, the officials below are just desperately trying to reap the benefits, who is still loyal to Yuan, Hebei, this towering tree, rotted from the roots......
"The situation in Hebei is erosive, the people of the upper and lower levels are scattered, I am afraid that within three years and five years, it will be annexed by Cao Ying, all of which are Cao Cao occupies the Central Plains, leading a million heroes to the south, and the princes of several towns in the south can resist it?
The lord only has a new wild city, and he has thousands of men and horses, where should he go, if there is no wizard to assist, I am afraid that the general situation is in danger? ”
Zhao Yun is a caring person, from the situation in front of him, he thinks of a few years later, the picturesque country and mountains belong to the Cao family, and the virtuous brother has a vicious vision!
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"The convoy stood and was inspected, and it was carrying a lot of treasures, it must be a spy in Hebei, so quickly tell the general!"
As soon as the convoy arrived at the city gate, it was intercepted by the defenders, and more than a dozen cars of gold, silver and jewelry were really eye-catching, not to mention that there were two ladies, who were like flowers and jade, and they were absolutely extraordinary!
The person in charge of the defense of the north gate was the general Jiao Touch, who heard the soldier's announcement, and immediately led a team of men and horses to come, surrounded the convoy, and was ready for interrogation!
"Da! Da! -- Where have you come from, and where are you going, do you have any papers? ”
Jiao Touch was wearing a familiar bronze armor, holding an iron gun, urging him to step forward to ask, his eyes were fixed on Zhao Yun, such a mighty and majestic person, he was by no means an ordinary man, and he looked familiar......
"I'm coming from Yecheng, preparing to go to Xuchang City, visiting a relative, and hoping that the general will let me go!"
Zhao Yun was not afraid, and the answer was like a stream, he was going to visit relatives!
"What kind of relative is it, where does the family live, and who is the surname?"
"It's my brother-in-law, who lives on Baihu Street-Tianzi No. 1, and his surname is Xiao!"
"Baihu Street-Tianzi No. 1 is the family of the Marquis Mansion without worries, surnamed Xiao...... Da Sima ...... Your Excellency is Changshan-Zhao Zilong! ”
…………………………
Jiao Touch woke up suddenly, sat down and took a few steps back from the war horse, with a look of fear on his face, in the original battle of the boundary bridge, he happened to be among the Yuan army, and he had seen Zhao Yun's demeanor, galloping across the country, and his divine might was overwhelming!
In addition, Da Sima Peach Blossom is prosperous, his wives and concubines are in groups, and there is a sixth lady Zhao Yu, who is the sister of this person, so Zhao Yun is indeed Xiao Yi's eldest brother, a very real relative!
It's troublesome now, the big Sima official is high and powerful, everyone is in awe, who dares to offend his eldest brother, the two are still brothers, vowing to live and die together, the relationship is very unusual!
But Zhao Yun is a general under Liu Bei, and he is hostile to the Cao Ying group, so he hastily let him go, once the prime minister blames him, he can't afford it!
"General Zhao came from afar, I want to come to the saddle horse for a long time, please go to the post house to rest, let the last general do a little bit of the friendship of the landlord, and then it's not too late to pass the customs!"
The stakes are so important that Jiao Touch didn't dare to make a decision, so he first invited Zhao Yun and the others into the city, and then notified the three friends to discuss countermeasures!
"It's better to be respectful than to obey your orders, thank you so much to the general...... Town! ”
Zhao Yun didn't refuse, he was tired of the saddle horse along the way, vigilant day and night, even if he could hold it, the two ladies couldn't stand it, just trim it!
Besides, Jiao Touch, who met Ma Yan, Zhang Yi, and Zhang Nan, after some discussion, everyone also felt that this matter was tricky, the prime minister's military order could not be violated, and Da Sima could not afford to offend!
The final decision was: 'Please do what you want, don't offend anyone', on the one hand, vacate their mansion, invite Zhao Yun and his party to stay, and entertain them with good wine and food, and be warm and courteous, and feel at home!
On the other hand, they sent Hongling messengers to Xuchang City to report the news, as long as the big Sima spoke, the matter would be solved, and they could also ask for a favor, which was a great good thing for the four generals!
Soon, the messenger was dispatched, Liyang is five hundred miles away from Xuchang, and there is a Yellow River to cross, even if the horse is fast, day and night, it will take three days......
………………………………………………………………………………
"The villain is ordered by the great Sima to invite General Zhao to go to Xuchang, and the brothers are reunited, and the sixth lady is looking forward to it, and she is also waiting for the elder brother to drive!"
Six days later, a team of Xuanjia Iron Cavalry arrived, and the leading officer-Xiaobin, holding a tiger-headed gold medal, and Da Sima-Xiao Yi's warrant, with sixteen words on it: "Brother Zilong, brotherhood, all checkpoints along the way, all will be released!" ”
Ma Yan, Zhang Yi, Jiao Touch, and Zhang Nan came to Fuzhong, invited Zhao Yun and his party out, and sent them out of Liyang City respectfully......
Knowing that his brother was about to arrive, Xiao Yi took a team of personal soldiers and went out of the city for thirty miles to greet him, and the two sworn brothers who were 'caring, affectionate, politically disputed, and like enemies' finally met again!
