Liaodong, a great Confucian who is teaching and educating people, slowly reads the recruitment order: "Guan Zhong, Huan Gong and thief, all use it for prosperity!" ”

"You might as well go and see how this champion treats my business. (Book ^ House * Small } Said + Net) "A man standing with his head bowed but dressed gorgeously persuaded earnestly: "I have a heart to serve the country with blood in my chest, just waiting for your decision." ”

"Didn't you Mi Zizhong go to Luoyang to buy an official? How, the attempt to seek? Da Ru smiled.

"Don't make fun of Zhu anymore. In this world, Confucianism is in charge, and how harsh is the attitude towards my business! Mi Zhu's smile was full of bitterness, a hundred carts of property couldn't be exchanged for a county order!" Champion Hou, I'm afraid it's the last chance for our merchants. ”

"Okay, call Hua Xin and Bing Yuan to go and have a look together." The merchant Juzi Guan Ning Guan Youan opened his mouth and said, in his heart, this Yan Zhengyan Zhanshu, who was first a yellow turban thief and then a champion Hou, is indeed full of attractiveness, but is it worth it to help him like the ancestor Guan Zhong and Xiaobai, and he has to see this person with his own eyes.

Starting from Shanhaiguan, passing through Feiru, Liucheng, and then to Xiangping, I thought that Xiangping would be a big county seat, but the reality told Yan Zhanshu that he thought too much, the county towns in Liaodong are actually just a larger castle, and in the land of Liaodong, large and small castles are everywhere, and each castle has its own army to resist possible barbarian attacks.

Basically, it was the barbarians who built a castle, and the income they received was definitely not worth the price they paid, which made it difficult for these Han people in Liaodong to survive. In each of these castles, there is one of the most powerful and powerful families, who practice martial arts and culture, lead the guards, and the castle is extremely strong, where it is broken, smeared with a handful of cement, it will soon freeze harder than iron, and it is worth the loss to attack forcibly.

The land of Liaodong is very fertile, and every kind of grain can be harvested, and the harvest season is also the favorite day of the barbarians, who will come in droves, find those castles, and collect grain—in this land, the barbarians are the real rulers, not the Han emperors thousands of miles away. The owner of the castle also understood this, and reached a pattern of coexistence with the barbarians outside.

Now, with the arrival of the Han Champion Hou, General Anbei, and the Liaodong Taishou Strict Government and Strict Exhibition, it is obvious that this simple pattern is going to be broken.

The owners of these castles are very well-informed, and soon, more than a dozen larger castles near Xiangping have quickly sent messages, and they have made an appointment to advance and retreat together, wanting food, money, and soldiers, but they are all not! When generations of people fought bloody battles with barbarians in Liaodong, no Han army came to protect them, and now they want to pick fruits, sorry, impossible!

Standing outside Xiangping City, looking at the small county seat, Yan Zhanshu frowned, what can this small castle do? Even if all the people inside live outside, their own army will not be able to live!

What's more, seeing that this castle has not been opened until now, and there is no movement, I am afraid that the owner inside will regard himself as a villain!

Yan Liang rode forward and shouted loudly: "The champion of the Han Dynasty, the general of Anbei, is too strict in Liaodong, and he has led his troops here, and he has not gone out to greet him!" ”

The sound of agitation spread far away in the wind, but the castle did not move, and from the lookout above the castle tower, a pair of vigilant eyes flashed.

"Dare to ignore the lord!" Yan Liang was furious, and many generals were also angry, "Lord, please allow me to lead troops to attack the city!" "Han Dang, please fight.

"My lord! Don't go to war at this time! Yan Rou stopped: "It's easy to capture this castle, but it's difficult to capture the castle in Liaodong—"

"Mr. Zihe is right," Guo Jia also frowned and said: "Attack the city for the bottom, and attack the heart for the top." ”

After waiting for a while, seeing that the army outside the city had never attacked, a door stall was opened at the lookout on the city tower, and a voice came out from inside: "You said that Liaodong Taishou took office, but there is a seal?" ”

Yan Zhanshu said: "Zihe, take out the seal letter and show it to them!" At this time, Yan Zhanshu could still understand the other party's caution, and if he wanted to survive in this land of Liaodong, no matter how cautious he was, it was not too cautious.

Seeing that there was really a seal letter, the people on the city tower obviously relaxed a little and threw down a hanging basket, the meaning was obvious, let the seal letter be put in.

At this time, even Yan Rou was a little dissatisfied in her heart, and glanced back at Yan Zhanshu: "Lord? ”

"Put the seal in there." Yan Zhanshu felt a little interesting now, he wanted to see how the past owner of the castle or Xiangping City should face himself, the new city lord who came with the emperor's order, after confirming his identity!

The hanging basket slowly raised, and then disappeared into the lookout, and after a while, there was a chaotic sound of moving heavy objects at the gate of the castle, and then the gate opened, and a somewhat weak voice came out: "Xiangping ordered Gongsun Zhao to lead the chief bookkeeper Gongsun Lou, and the county lieutenant Liu Zheng to see Yan Zhijun." ”

Yan Zhanshu looked up and saw a group of people in fur fur at the entrance of the castle, judging from the appearance of the Han people.

"My lord, the Gongsun family is extremely powerful in Liaodong and Liaoxi, and Gongsun Chan is the son-in-law of the Gongsun family in Liaoxi. This Gongsun Zhao is the head of the Gongsun family in Liaodong, and he should be treated with courtesy. Xu Rong, who was born in Liaodong County, heard that he was from the Gongsun family, so he hurriedly stepped forward and reminded.

Nodding, Yan Zhanshu remembered Gongsun Du, who later seized Liaodong, this person attacked Goguryeo in the east, Wuhuan in the west, and Liaodong Peninsula in the south, and he can be regarded as a generation of heroes, but he doesn't know where he is, if he has the opportunity, he can inquire about it, although there is not much ink in the Three Kingdoms, but just like Yan Rou, maybe he is also a great talent.

Now Yan Zhanshu has seen many heroes in the Three Kingdoms period, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are all defeated generals, and Gongsun Zhan, who holds a white horse and is a righteous servant, is only average in the way of using soldiers, and heroes are used to seeing it normally. In addition, there are Guo Jia, Yan Rou, and Xi Zhicai, and Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Yan Liang, Han Dang, Gao Lan, Zhang Yan, and Liao Hua, all of whom are famous generals - not afraid that you are powerful, but afraid that you have no ability.

"Gongsun County Order, I have been in the border for a long time, and I have worked hard." Yan Zhanshu's kind tone made Gongsun Zhao very pleased, it seems that the rumors are wrong, this champion Hou is not the kind of person who is ambitious and has his eyes and nose facing the sky, and he should still be able to get along in harmony in the future.

Gongsun Zhao is the contemporary head of the Gongsun clan in Liaodong, with the official position and the prestige of the family at the same time in Liaodong, if it is in the mainland, I am afraid that it is the emperor of the soil who kills and kills, that is, the barbarian rampant Liaodong, the Gongsun family protects their own interests at the same time, but also protects a large number of civilians, which can be regarded as a credit to the Han Dynasty.

"Yan Envoy Jun and all the adults have come all the way from afar, it's really hard, I have prepared a banquet in the city, please move." Gongsun Zhao said humbly, turned to look at the 40,000 soldiers and horses under the black pressure, and showed a look of embarrassment: "As for the army, the envoy has also seen it, this castle is small and can't accommodate it, and later, let the subordinates prepare some more beef and mutton to roast and send it out, and please make Jun Haihan." ”

"Xiangping is indeed not big, since this is the case, I will not go into the city to disturb the county order, the county order only needs to send some ingredients out." Yan Zhanshu did not want to distinguish himself from other officers and soldiers because of such trivial things as eating and drinking, and the centrifugation of officers and soldiers often started with these very small details. What's more, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, in case they arrive in the castle, this Gongsun Zhao has bad intentions, and it is difficult for him to be on guard.

"Zishan, order the army to camp on the spot, slaughter cattle and sheep, and prepare for the night." Yan Zhanshu couldn't look down on Xiangping, which was only two miles away, and already had an idea in his heart, and when he cleared the barbarians on the ground in Liaodong, he would build a grand city on the edge of this Xiangping City, as a base for himself to collect displaced people and garrison the army.

Gongsun Zhao still wanted to be polite, but the Gongsun Building on the side was already uncomfortable, so he pulled his sleeve in private, and said softly: "My lord, Yan Yuanjun can't look down on the banquet in our small place, so don't bother anymore, let's retire to Yan Yuanjun." ”

When Gongsun Zhao heard this, he thought about it, so he said goodbye to Yan Zhanshu: "Since you love the people and don't want to enter the city, I will retire later, and the ingredients will be sent out immediately." The three of them turned back to the castle and gave out the ingredients, but the door was closed.
