Chapter 85: Summer Thunder

The night breeze blew through the hills and green fields, the shouts of killing resounded in the sky, and in the light of the fire, blood, corpses, and ownerless war horses stretched between the roads and forests, and everywhere were Xianbei soldiers running in confusion, and occasionally there would be organized small-scale resistance, and then the white horses that came to support were chiseled to pieces, and the surroundings were already in chaos.

The sound of the wind, the shouts of people, the screams of the horses, the long hiss of the horses gathered in the night, a Xianbei foot soldier was covered in blood and panicked through the forest, brushing aside the branches and shrubs blocking the way, the vision in front of him suddenly widened, and what caught his eye was an arrow shooting towards him, and his pupils shrank, and there was a poof, and blood splashed.

Li Heizi withdrew his bow, his eyes turned from the fallen corpse to the figure in front of him who suddenly arched his hand, and Gongsun Zhi, who was dressed in a big hat, raised his hand and pressed it in the air, and there was an uproar around him, and everyone in their hands hung down behind the short bow itself.

"Yun has seen the eldest princeβ€”" The voice came slowly and powerfully.

"The man is familiar...... "He seems to call himself Yun...... It's Zhao Yun...... ""It should be him...... If you really want to fight, it's a little troublesome. Here, someone in the wolf rider roughly saw the side face of the opposite figure from the rear, and subconsciously opened his mouth to mutter, and several wolf riders next to him muttered each other's names.

The young general named Zhao Yun vaguely heard a voice mentioning him, his eyes glanced at the voice, and there were indeed a few familiar faces among the people opposite, and then turned his gaze and fell on the leader of the other party again.

Gongsun Zhi kept staring at this handsome, slender young general, was silent for a moment, and arched his hand: "Yan Gang came to kill me, my father is afraid that he doesn't know, so what about you, are you ready to do it?" ”

"The clouds don't dare." Over there, Zhao Yun waved back with one hand, and the riders behind him hesitated for a while, glanced at each other, and then pulled the reins to move the war horse left and right, and slowly made way for a way.

The fierce battle continued, Gongsun Zhi frowned and looked at Zhao Yun with some surprise, the other party arched his hand again, his eyes were clear and calm, "...... Yun has already guessed one or two, thinking for the lord, naturally he doesn't want to see the eldest prince die, nor does he want to see General Yan make a big mistake, the eldest prince goes out from this road and goes south to Yanhu, which is Yuyang County......"

"Let me go privately, Yan Gang is afraid that he will not let you go." Gongsun Zhi saw him open-minded and tentatively spoke: "...... It's better to go with me first, and then go to Youbeiping and report the matter. ”

He took a step back and shook his head.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Yun was fortunate enough to go to the White Wolf Plain once, and he had heard about the deeds of the eldest prince, and he shook the Huns and Xianbei with the strength of the people, and Yun admired it very much, but ...... The eldest prince is too fierce, if Yun walks together, there will inevitably be disputes, if there is a gap, it will be unfavorable to the army's heart, and it will be difficult for the eldest prince to do at that time, as for violating General Yan's military orders, Yun is ashamed in his heart, and he accepts it calmly. ”

Zhao Yun's face was calm as usual, without fluctuation, and he turned a blind eye to the burly figure that was crumbling over there, and just looked at Gongsun Zhi opposite.

"Yun is also selfish, magnify the son to leave, I hope you don't come back, the people of Youzhou are poor, can't withstand the wind and waves, once the son returns to the right Beiping, the struggle for power and profit will be staged, and the soldiers who should protect the family and defend the country will die on the blades in the hands of their comrades, and the hot blood will be shed in vain; The people who should have lived and worked in peace and contentment were caught up in the war, and their families were ruined, and Yun didn't want to see these ...... Please ask the eldest prince to think about the people of Youbeiping. ”

With a clatter, the spear was inserted into the soil, the armor leaves on the armor made a soft sound, and the figure knelt down on one knee and arched his hand: "Please fulfill the eldest prince-"

There was silence all around, and countless eyes intertwined to look this way.

The front swept across the hills, and the sound of fighting became farther and farther away. Gongsun Zhi opened his mouth slightly, his hand trembled on the hilt of the knife, his face changed several times, he never thought that Zhao Zilong in movies, television, and novels could have such a remark, and after a while, he took a breath and nodded: "Okay, today's favor, I should pay you back." ”

Then, in the eyes of everyone, when he strode over and stretched out his hand to support the figure on the ground, he patted his hand on the other party's arm, and said in a low tone: "Originally, I was still hesitating to shrink my head under the prestige of General Baima, Zhao Yun, it was you who made up your mind for me, but I want to thank you, the Han people don't kill the Han people, understand, but this world is not something you can control, even if I don't kill, many people will die every day, and Xinci will not end well." ”

After speaking, in the puzzled gaze, Gongsun Zhi turned around and turned over his horse and hugged the girl, his eyes swept over everyone, and he raised his fist and waved his fist.

"Let'sβ€”"

The horse's hooves headed south.

Zhao Yun, who was standing there, breathed a sigh of relief, and when he turned over and got on his horse, he couldn't help but look at the more than 1,000 people who had left over there, and the wolf should be running on the mountains and grasslands...... Don't come to the world.

Then, in silence, he returned to the way he came, and received his punishment.

*****************************

In the early hours of the morning, there was a faint light in the east.

Yuyang County.

The city, which was not prosperous in the first place, looked even more dilapidated after Zhang Chun and others rebelled two years ago, with blue and gray cracked city walls, and occasionally in a crevice, you can still see the red dirt left by the past. In the early morning, when the whole city began to wake up, the vendors carrying goods took to the streets, set up stalls, and the slaves who cleaned up the excrement of the house for the night stood at the back door of the house with buckets and waited for the loaded wagons to pass by.

In the corner of the courtyard, the maid quietly entered the main house with a washbasin and soft towel, served an old man to get up, and then ate breakfast.

The old man they were waiting for was Liu Yu, the pastor of Youzhou who had patrolled here, and the servants in the hall walked as carefully as possible, for fear of disturbing the conversation of the big people, and soon after, someone came to share their names, and everyone stopped talking, kneeling and sitting upright, and after a while, a person behind the screen came under the guidance of the maid.

The figure has a bundle of gray hair, a long beard and a long beard under the chin, a dark red robe with black lines, and a majestic expression Kneeling down in the first place, he talked about some political affairs in Yuyang County.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The Central Plains is chaotic, the royal family is dusty, but the border land can not be reborn, my Youzhou is the Han Dynasty barrier can not be lost, Xianbei, Wuhuan is difficult to pass, just robbed the border, harassed the people of the Han Dynasty, in order to ensure the smooth Central Plains, slowly eliminate the brutality of the Xianbei and Wuhuan people, must give some convenience, let them miss the kindness of the Han Dynasty, otherwise, the internal worries are unsolved, and the border is restless, will not let me fall into a two-sided dilemma. ”

"Therefore, in order to let the people live and cultivate in peace, the old man is determined to mine salt and iron in Shanggu County with Xianbei and Wuhuan to reduce the burden of the people.

In the quiet hall, only the old man's sonorous tone was speaking, and the voice came out of the house, rushing into the sky, and a tattered team in the north was coming this way, and at noon, the news passed to Liu Yu, who was having lunch.

"Gongsun Zhi ......"

The old man held the cloth silk with the news recorded, and a difficult problem was placed in front of him, and he fell silent.

A thunderclap swept across the clear sky, resounding across the sky.
