According to the system of the Eastern Han Dynasty, counties, kingdoms, and subject states are all first-class local administrative divisions. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The INFO Kingdom inherited the system of the Western Han Dynasty and was a fief of the prince, governed by the Minister of State, whose status was the same as that of the county Taishou. The princes and kings did not have jurisdiction over the kingdom to which they belonged, but only enjoyed a certain amount of food, clothing, taxes, and rents.

Jizhou has six kingdoms and three counties, namely: Zhongshan Kingdom, Hejian Kingdom, Changshan Kingdom, Zhao Kingdom, Anping Kingdom, Qinghe Kingdom, Julu County, Wei County, and Bohai County. Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao brothers are the Julu people of Jizhou, who led the Yellow Turban Army to revolt, causing some damage and impact to Jizhou, which was originally prosperous and prosperous.

The chaos of the past has faded into the depths of people's memory, but new chaos is brewing and fermenting.

After Yuan Shao, the commander of the Zhangshui Coalition Army, withdrew from Hanoi to Yecheng in Wei County, he completely forgot the oath he had made to heaven on the banks of the Zhangshui River, and instead aimed his sword and gun at Jizhou Mu Hanfu. Yuan Shao had secretly contacted Han Fu's subordinate Lu Yi, and was ready to let Lu Yi raise troops to rebel against Han Fu and weaken Han Fu's forces when the time was ripe.

Feng Ji, a strategist recently recruited by Yuan Shao, said to Yuan Shaojin: "From ancient times to the present, all those who do great things will occupy more than one state, otherwise they will not be able to gain a foothold at all. Lu Bu, a native of Bingzhou, is just a vulgar martial artist in the borderlands, but now he has stolen the four counties of Xihe, Taiyuan, Shangdang and Yanmen in Bingzhou, and in time, let him control all of Bingzhou, he will inevitably covet Jizhou, which is densely populated and has abundant grain production! ”

"Jizhou was the foundation of Emperor Guangwu's great achievements, but now it is occupied by a mediocre person like Han Fu, with his ability, how can he stop the tiger wolf in Bingzhou? The general has the first reputation among the corporal in the world, why not secretly contact Gongsun Zan of Youzhou and invite him to lead the army south to threaten Han Fu, with Han Fu's cowardly character, he will inevitably feel afraid. At that time, the general can send a man who can speak eloquently to persuade Han Fu and explain to him the good and the bad. Under the threat of Lu Bu and Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, Han Fu is very likely to give up Jizhou, and at that time, the general will be able to get Jizhou without abandoning a single soldier! ”

Yuan Shao thought that what Feng Ji said was very reasonable, so he immediately wrote to Gongsun Zhan, hoping that he could go south to conspire with Han Fu under the banner of crusading against Dong Zhuo.

Yuan Shao's plot against Jizhou is still going on in secret, and such a major event naturally has nothing to do with ordinary people, and the people of Jizhou still have to work hard in the fields, and seize the time to sow winter wheat into the fields before the frost falls.

In Zhending County, far away from Yecheng of Wei County, there is an ordinary village called Zhaojiazhuang. Zhao Feng, who went to Shangdang to buy horses for the county, came from this village, and he also had a younger brother named Zhao Yun, who had studied martial arts since he was a child, and was now quite famous among the young and strong in the county. Xiahoulan and other young people in Zhending County thought that Zhao Yun was skilled in arching horses and had talents, so they recommended Zhao Yun to the county order, hoping that Zhao Yun would lead the good horsemen in the county and assist the county in preventing bandits and homeless people.

However, it was said that after Zhao Feng killed someone in Huguan County, more than 20 people who came with him immediately rushed back to Zhending from Shangdang with fifty horses and forty catties of gold, and told Zhao Feng's brother Zhao Yun the news.

These fellow villagers didn't know the result of the subsequent verdict of Huguan County, and only thought that Zhao Feng might have to suffer a lot this time, so it was inevitable that there would be exaggerations when he told Zhao Yun about this. They respected Zhao Feng's character, and specially gave twenty catties of gold to Zhao Yun when they brought back, and also selected two horses with the best foot strength from fifty horses to lend Zhao Yun, hoping that Zhao Yun would go to Shangdang to rescue Zhao Feng with gold.

Zhao Yun was shocked to hear that his brother was in trouble, so he hurriedly entrusted the affairs of his family to someone close to him, and then rode a horse with a gun, carried a bow and arrows, brought enough dry food and coils, and prepared to rush to the party alone to rescue his brother.

When Zhao Yun left Zhaojiazhuang, he was blocked by Xiahoulan, who heard the news.

Xiahou Lan said to Zhao Yun: "I know that Zilong is strong in martial arts, and ordinary people are not opponents at all, but this time I went to the party to rescue my brother, but I can't rely on courage and strength." Although my martial arts are not as good as Zilong, I have been learning the laws of the Han Dynasty since I was a child, and I am quite familiar with the laws of the Han Dynasty. ”

Zhao Yun couldn't refuse Xiahoulan's sincerity, so he took Xiahoulan to the party together.

Shangdang, Huguan County.

After Zhao Feng accepted the grain transportation task arranged by Xu Huang, he quickly borrowed a chariot from the logistics quartermaster of the army, and then loaded a cart full of rice and pulled the cart on the road.

Although Zhao Feng was on the road alone, he was not alone, because there were many convoys transporting grain on the road from Shangdang to Lishi, and there were also cavalry of the Tiance Army patrolling and guarding back and forth on both sides of the road to ensure the safety of the grain transport team.

With a distance of five hundred miles from Huguan to Shishi, Zhao Feng only relied on his own strength to pull the cart forward, which was not only slower than the cart drawn by oxen and horses, but also inferior to the porter who carried things on his shoulders.

Fortunately, it was a good autumn weather at this time, there was no rain on the way, and there were teams carrying grain passing by Zhao Feng before and after, so Zhao Feng slept under the car at night, ate some dry food when he was tired, and asked others for some water to drink when he was thirsty. At his rate, he would definitely be able to reach Lishi in twenty days.

When Zhao Feng pulled the cart and walked to Guyuan County, Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan had already rushed to Sheguo County, Wei County, which was closest to Shangdanglu County.

When Zhao Feng pulled the cart to the foot of the boundary mountain, Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan had already walked into Huguan County.

It only took a short time for Xia Houlan to ask the Huguan County Government about the verdict of Zhao Feng from the vendors who set up stalls on the streets of the county seat. He told Zhao Yun that the Huguan County Order's sentence against Zhao Feng was not heavy at all, or even light. Zhao Yun believed in Xiahou Lan's judgment, but since he had already arrived in Bingzhou, he naturally had to find his brother and do something for him.

Zhao Yun then went straight to the station of the Tiance Army and asked the guards at the gate of the camp about the whereabouts of his brother Zhao Feng. The guards told Zhao Yun that the Jizhou man who volunteered to transport grain to Lishi had already pulled a cart full of grain to the west a few days ago.

Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan didn't care about the fatigue of rushing all the way, and rode horses to chase all the way west along the grain transport team, and five days later, they finally saw the back of Zhao Feng who was hunched and pulled the cart alone on the official road in Pingzhou County.

Zhao Yun urged the horse to the front of the cart, then threw himself down from the horse, grabbed the handle of the cart, and looked at his brother whose face was tanned, his chest was agitated, but he didn't know what to say.

Zhao Feng slowly straightened up, and then asked in a daze, "Why did my brother come to Bingzhou?" ”

"I was shocked to hear that my brother had encountered a lawsuit in the party, and I couldn't rest assured that I came to visit. Brother, don't worry, when I show up to the official mansion, the matter of labor will be taken over by Yun! ”
