After a while, the merchant disguised as a scout was brought to Gongsun Zhan, and after a period of torture, his body could not hold on, so he had to recruit him. said that he was sent by Yuan Shao's fourth son, Yuan Mai, to send a letter to Zhao Yun, persuading him to abandon the darkness and return to the Yuan family.

After listening to the traitor's confession, there was silence in the hall for a while, and Gongsun Xu asked again: "In the letter, it is said that Yuan bought Zhao Yun's sister Zhao Zhi as a concubine, but is there such a thing?" ”

"Don't dare to hide it from the generals, Yuan Gongzi did accept the Zhao family as a concubine a few months ago!" The scout poured beans into the bamboo tube, and 1510 truthfully recruited, and after finishing speaking, he kowtowed like pounding garlic, kneeling and begging for mercy.

Since the scouts have been truthfully recruited, they are no longer of use, Gongsun continued to wave his hand impatiently, and instructed the guards: "Pull me down and cut it down, hang the city gate, and write the word 'spies' in a big book, so as to set an example." Let those scouts not dare to act rashly! ”

"No!"

A few wolf-like soldiers rushed in, pressed the scout to the ground, and in the miserable cry for mercy, pulled out of the Gongsun Mansion like a dog, the sword flashed, a human head fell to the ground, and it was not easy to hang above the city gate.

"Father, now that the human and material evidence has been conclusive, should we send someone to arrest Zhao Yun and ask him for the crime, so as to set an example?" After dealing with the spies, Gongsun Xu forced his father to arrest Zhao Yun again and ask him for the crime.

Gongsun Chan stretched out his hand and stroked his messy beard, pondered for a moment, and ordered: "Come on, go to the army and invite Zhao Yun to interrogate!" ”

Although it has entered the March season, Yi Jingtian, which is located in Youzhou, is still bitterly cold. The fields outside the city were yellow and yellow, and the weeds and branches were still frosty. The tower of the north gate of Yijing is lined with flags. A big banner with the word "Zhao" hunted in the wind. Nearly a thousand soldiers came and went, hurrying, and were busy reinforcing the city walls and consolidating the defenses.

A young general who was eight feet six inches tall, handsome, and had thick eyebrows was patrolling back and forth, trying to make sure that the defense line was impregnable. This person is none other than Zhao Yun, whose ancestral home is Zhending County, Changshan State, and his name is Zilong. He is twenty-seven years old.

The north gate of Yijing has always been defended by Zhao Yun. There are 5,000 troops under his command, and under his management, deep ditches and high fortifications are used to consolidate the defense. Not only did it thicken and raise the walls. Three auxiliary walls were also built outside the main city. Layer upon layer of trench traps. It was full of antlers and thorns, and if the Yuan army wanted to attack the city of Yijing, it must first break through the three lines of defense on the periphery. Zhao Yun firmly believes. The defense line built by himself is 30,000 horses, and it can last for about half a year. As long as the other three gates can be defended, the north gate will stand like Mount Tai!

"Driving...... Get out of the way, get out of the way! ”

With the sound of hurried horses' hooves, more than a dozen horses galloped in. Zhao Yun turned his head to look, and through the clothes worn by the soldiers on the horse, he recognized that it was the personal soldiers on the lord's mansion, I don't know what happened here? Could it be that there is an urgent military situation to discuss?

"You guys are in a hurry, but the lord has something to summon Zhao Yun?" Zhao Yun stood at the head of the city, pressed the hilt of his sword with his hand, and asked loudly.

More than a dozen knights on the horse reined in one after another, and the leader of the man clasped his wrists and saluted: "Exactly! The lord has an urgent matter and asks General Zilong to go to the mansion to talk, please come with us! ”

When Zhao Yun heard this, he recruited several cronies and lieutenants to his side and instructed them to continue to supervise the work and not to slack off. While hurriedly walking down the tower, he led his white horse, turned over in the saddle, and followed the guards straight to Gongsun Zhan's mansion. As he walked, he asked, "You have grim expressions, I don't know what the lord summoned Zhao Yun for, can you tell me in advance, so that Yun can be prepared in his heart?" ”

"General Zhao, I'm really sorry, we just came to give the order on the orders of the lord, and we don't know why the general was summoned. When the general sees the lord, he will naturally know! The team leader led by the pro-guards unceremoniously rejected Zhao Yun's inquiry, and there was no room for negotiation.

"Yes, it's Zhao Yun who is anxious!" Zhao Yun smiled awkwardly and stopped asking, but a hint of foreboding rose in his heart.

These people are all the guards around Gongsun Zhan, and they are usually on duty in the inner house, and they can usually hear some rumors about the things discussed in the lobby. In the past, when I came to summon myself, I would ask them what was going on, and I would usually reveal some words to myself, but this time I refused, and I didn't say a word, obviously deliberately hiding myself. Could it be that this matter has something to do with me?

With a nervous mentality, he quickly stepped up, and it didn't take much effort to come to the "Gongsun Mansion". Zhao Yun turned over and dismounted, handed over his sword in front of the door, and went straight to the mansion. After a while, he came to the "meeting hall", pushed the door and entered, only to see Gongsun Zhan sitting in the middle, Gongsun Fan, Gongsun Xu's uncle and nephew living separately, and Tian Yu, who was good friends with him, also stood aside, all with grim expressions, as if the enemy was at present.

"The last general, Zhao Yun, pay homage to the lord. I don't know what happened when someone was summoned in a hurry? Zhao Yun came to the center of the hall, bowed to the lord sitting on it, and asked.

Before Gongsun Zhan could speak, Gongsun Xu, who was standing on the side, had already walked to the door and shouted at the door: "Come on, enter the house quickly and take down the traitor Zhao Yun!" ”

Zhao Yun was shocked, he really didn't understand what he had done wrong, and provoked the son of the lord to be so angry, wasn't it because he stopped him from robbing the people's daughter some time ago and reported the matter to Gongsun Zhan, as for making such a fuss, the communiqué is a personal vendetta?

"Why did the young general say this, and what is Yun's crime? So much so that the Major General is going to send someone to take me? Zhao Yun was shocked and angry, arguing with reason. He loyally consolidated the defense of the Gongsun family, slept all night, and did his best. Why did the lord's son speak so viciously to him, and let people take him down, it's really chilling!

"Zhao Yun?" Gongsun Zhan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, his eyes were cold, stared at him coldly for a moment, and threw the letterhead on the table to the ground, "Look at what the letter says for yourself?" ”

Zhao Yun bent down to pick up the letter full of doubts and quickly browsed it. The font is delicate and beautiful, at a glance, you know that it is the handwriting of the little sister Zhao Zhi, which was taught to her by herself, and it can be recognized at a glance, and there should be no fake. I just don't know what the epistle says?

After reading the letter as quickly as possible, Zhao Yun's shock was indescribable. A few months ago, when he repaired the book to Yuan to buy, he was still worried that he would kill his family because he refused to defect, but he didn't expect that in just a few months, his sister turned out to be the concubine of the fourth son of the Yuan family, and he also became the eldest brother of the son of the Yuan family, this fate is really tricky!

Zhao Yun and Yuan Mai have never met, and they don't know what kind of character their brother-in-law is, but judging by the description of the businessman and the rogue, and judging by what he did, he should be a righteous gentleman. And I heard that the Xiongnu Shan was shot by him with his own hands, and in an encounter in Liyang last year, he broke the Cao army with 4,000 men and horses, captured and beheaded more than 5,000 people, and even went down to Hanoi and Pingyang two counties. Judging from the will of death, if his sister can marry such a person as a concubine, it can be regarded as a wishful husband!

It's just that Zhao Yun's identity is a general under the command of Sun Zhan, the sworn enemy of the Yuan family, which makes Zhao Yun unable to look at the problem from a purely private point of view, and should also take into account his public position. What's more, her sister Zhao Zhi did persuade her in a letter to abandon her grandson's family and go to Hanoi. Gongsun Zhan's father and son read this letter, and it is understandable that they were angry and angry!

"Lord, please listen to Zhao Yun's words!" Zhao Yun knelt on the ground and argued from the bottom of his heart: "Please listen to Zhao Yun's words, this letter, judging from the handwriting, is indeed written by the sister." However, Yun didn't know anything about Yuan Maiqiang's sister as a concubine! My family is in Jizhou, and it is not impossible that I was forcibly arrested by the Yuan family, Yuan Maiqiang married her sister, and our brothers and sisters are all victims, how can I conclude that I colluded with the Yuan family based on this letter? Zhao Yun has been loyal since he followed the lord, and he has no other thoughts, please see the lord! ”

Tian Yu also stood up to argue for Zhao Yun: "Lord, don't be reckless in this matter!" Yuan Mai forcibly married the sister of General Zilong, perhaps in order to separate the relationship between the lord and the general. He wants to forcibly marry, how can a woman resist? This matter has nothing to do with Zilong, and the letter is also persuading Zhao Yun to defect, which shows that Zilong has nothing to do with the Yuan family. I implore the Lord to know that the enemy is at present, and you must not destroy the Great Wall! ”

Gongsun continued to snort coldly: "Looking at the tone in this slut's letter, it seems that he loves Yuan Gou's son tightly and is satisfied with it!" It's clearly a pair of dog men and women, where can you see the slightest sense of compulsion? ”

"Born in troubled times, human life is as cheap as mustard, and life and death are not up to you? Not to mention marriage? If you insult your sister again, don't blame me for being polite! ”

Zhao Yun listened to Gongsun Xu's words full of foul language, and immediately became angry, stepped forward, grabbed the placket of Gongsun Xu, who was half a head shorter than himself, with both hands, and forcibly lifted him up, warning viciously. He can insult himself, but he must not insult his sister!

Seeing that Zhao Yun actually lifted his son up, Gongsun Zhan was furious, and shouted angrily: "Bold Zhao Yun, dare to be presumptuous?" The words in this letter are full of joy, and there is a smell of coercion? Isn't what my son says true? You dare to be so reckless, you clearly don't take my father and son seriously! Come on, take Zhao Yun down for me! ”

Zhao Yun put down Gongsun Xu and fought again: "Lord, Zhao Yun is loyal to you, if you want to kill or scrape, listen to and respect." But to slander Zhao Yun for fornicating with the Yuan family, it is absolutely unacceptable! ”

Gongsun Chan snorted coldly: "Whether it's true or not, I will send someone to find out the truth, and I will neither wronged you nor listen to you." Where is the left and right? Take Zhao Yun down, detain him for the time being, and wait for me to send someone to find out about this matter, and then make a decision!" ”

"My lord, before the big war, putting General Zilong in prison is no different from self-destruction of the Great Wall, please think twice!" Tian Yu came out again and pleaded hard for Zhao Yun.

Gongsun Chan waved the sleeves of his robe impatiently and reprimanded: "I have my own decision on this matter, and I will retreat quickly." If you intercede for Zhao Yun again, you will be punished for the same crime! ”

"Alas...... I want to repay the lord with death, but the lord doubts me! Zhao Yun shook his head and sighed, did not resist, stood in place and was captured, allowing the guards to take him and send him to prison. (To be continued......)
