On the road from Nanpi to Gaoyi, Zhao Yun hurried to his hometown as fast as he could.

In order to ensure the speed of travel, when he came out of Nanpi, Zhao Yun not only rode his own horse, but also brought the horses of Xiahoulan and another fellow villager.

One person and three riders, changing horses without changing people, this kind of travel speed is very amazing. Of course, this way of driving is also a very severe test and torture for the rider itself. If you change to someone else, I am afraid that before I get home, I am already tired and fainting.

The wind was whistling in his ears, the mountains and rivers were retreating backwards in the corners of his eyes, and Zhao Yun's thoughts were only to rush forward desperately, no matter what, he had to return home before the eldest brother died!

Gradually, the familiar mountains of my hometown appeared in the distance, and the clear and winding river flowed at my feet, and the canopy of trees around the edge of the village was shadowed.

Zhao Yun, who was full of fatigue, led the horse into Zhaojiazhuang, who gave birth to him and raised him, in the evening.

The low grass huts, the curling smoke, and the occasional barking of dogs, everything is still so familiar and friendly......

When he came to his courtyard, he was so tall that he could see that the courtyard was cleaned up without tiptoeing, but he could not hear any movement in the house, including the subtle sounds of breathing and wheezing.

The brother's letter was written very sloppily and briefly, just telling Zhao Yun that his old injury had recurred, and that it was getting worse day by day, and that he had been lying in bed for more than a month when he wrote the letter, hoping to see his brother again before he died.

The more sloppy it was, the more it was so brief, the more it made Zhao Yun feel uneasy and worried.

Zhao Yun tied the only remaining horse under an old elm tree with a crooked neck outside the courtyard, and the other two horses, because of exhaustion, had been forced on the side of the road, but it was for nothing that a group of homeless people begging along the road were cheap.

Adjust his mood, and then gently push away the firewood, Zhao Yun walked in.

When he opened the door and saw that there was no one in the room, he walked into the wing where his brother and sister-in-law lived, but there was still no one. The house was very clean, and it seemed that someone cleaned it regularly, but the more valuable items in the house were missing.

Zhao Yun went to the house where he lived again, and saw that his own things were neatly placed on the bed, which was also clean and not stained with a trace of dust.

Suddenly, an old man's voice sounded at the gate of the courtyard: "Yun Yanzi, are you back?" ”

Zhao Yun stepped out of the house and saw the second uncle of the family Zhao who lived in the next courtyard looking into the house on crutches.

"Second uncle, it's me who is back. Where did my brother and sister-in-law go? ”

"A few days ago, a young scholar came to your house, saying that he was taking your brother and sister-in-law to Gaoyi to seek medical treatment, and when he left, he left me a few bags of grain, so that I could watch it here every day, and tell you when you come back, so that you don't worry about it."

Although the old man was a little rickety, he spoke clearly, and soon explained the situation of Zhao's family to Zhao Yun clearly.

"Second uncle, this is a little bit of my heart, you are not too little, take it and buy some food to survive the winter. I won't stay in the village for the night, but will go to Gaoyi overnight. As he spoke, Zhao Yun took out a piece of silver cake from his arms, stuffed it into the old man's hand, and then hurriedly left the courtyard.

After the Qin Emperor ruled the world, he issued a decree stipulating that gold should be named after Eridium, and that pearls, jade, silver and tin should not be coins, but could only be used for ornamental treasures. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the Qin system was inherited, and silver was still not used as currency. After Wang Mang usurped power, he reformed the currency system, so that silver almost became an official currency, and had the same function as gold. Later, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu destroyed Wang Mang and went back to ban the monetary function of silver, but the people still used it privately.

If there is a big chaos today, no one cares about Dong's five-baht money, and what Zhao Yun carries with him is the military salary he has received in Gongsun Zhan's army in the past year.

In Gaoyi City, in a medium-sized courtyard, Li Yanzheng and Wang Yue sat in the courtyard drinking to the moon and talking in a low voice.

"Wang Daxia, this letter was written by Gongsun Chan to Gongzi when he was in the letter to the Dumeng?"

"To be precise, it should be written to Zhao Yun, but it needs to be handed over to him through your hands."

"Calculating the time, that is, between these two days, Zhao Yun should find Gaoyi, and now that I have this letter, I am more sure."

"There is a change in Youzhou, Gongzi goes north directly, after you see Zhao Yun here, it is best to start chasing after him immediately, there are not many people available around Gongzi now, if you two can arrive in time, you will definitely be able to help him a lot!"

"Isn't Wang Daxia going to Youzhou?"

"It's been three months since I left Chang'an, and Wang Situ's side is also in urgent need of manpower now, and Gongzi also has something entrusted to me, so I need to leave for the south tomorrow."

"In Wang Daxia's opinion, can Zhao Quan's condition be cured?"

"It's hard. In the future, if you keep raising it and no longer tired, you can still live to the year when you know the destiny of heaven. ”

"This courtyard has been bought by Gongzi, and in the future, Zhao Quan's family will live here, and Han Fu will arrange someone to take care of it, so he should not be allowed to work anymore. In this world, most farmers can't even live to be forty years old, but if Zhao Quan can live to be in his fifties, it would be very good. Li Yan said with some emotion.

When he was a Hucao in Danshui, he was still familiar with the county's population life expectancy and other figures.

Just as the two were talking, a voice sounded outside the hospital: "Dare to ask where Nanyang Li Zhengfang lives?" ”

Wang Yue heard the voice outside the courtyard, smiled lightly, and whispered to Li Yan: "People are here!" ”

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Wang Yue meant, so he asked in a loud voice outside the courtyard: "Dare to ask outside the door, but Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong are really determined?" ”

"It's down there!"

Li Yan stepped forward quickly and opened the door for Zhao Yun in person.

After the two saluted each other in front of the door, Li Yan led Zhao Yun towards the courtyard.

Seeing Wang Yue sitting in the courtyard pouring himself a drink, Zhao Yun stopped and said in a deep voice: "It turns out that Your Excellency said that you will meet in the future, but it is here!" ”

Wang Yue smiled lightly and said to Zhao Yun: "Young people don't talk so bluntly, come, come, and sit down to drink a few glasses with the old man." Your brother has personally taken action, and the old wounds on his body have almost been healed! ”

Li Yan was afraid that the two fierce men would not agree, so he fought on the spot, and hurriedly explained to Zhao Yun on the side: "This is the famous Wang Daxia in Luoyang, and he is also an important entourage to protect Gongzi all the way north, Zilong should salute first." ”

When Zhao Yun heard this, he asked with some hesitation: "Dare to ask if Your Excellency can know Taihang Tong Yuan?" ”

Wang Yue was about to drink, but when he heard this, he stopped, turned his head to take a closer look at Zhao Yun, and then smiled and said, "It seems that you are the apprentice of the old guy Tong Yuan?" ”

"Zhao Yun has seen Grandmaster Wang!" At this time, it was only at this time that Zhao Yun and Wang Yue figured out each other's details.

"You better go into the house to see Brother Ling, if you have any questions, I'll ask later!"

Wang Yue waved at Zhao Yun, then turned his head and drank to himself.

That night, Zhao Quan told Zhao Yun everything about the past, and then persuaded Zhao Yun to leave Gongsun Chan and join Liu He Gongzi, Li Yan then took out a letter written by Gongsun Chan to Zhao Yun, and also told Zhao Yun that the hundreds of children he took from Changshan at the beginning of the year would also return to their hometowns in the near future.

When Zhao Yun heard Li Yan say that Liu He did not hesitate to exchange An Pingguo for Gongsun Zhan in order to attract him, the blood in his chest surged, and suddenly there was an urge to look up to the sky and howl.

"The son treats the clouds as a national soldier, and the clouds will swear to die to repay the son!"

In front of his brother, Li Yan and Wang Yue, Zhao Yun made a heavy oath.

In the early morning of the second day, when the four gates of Gaoyi had just been opened, two riders went out from the north gate and one rode out from the south gate.

At this time, five days had passed since Liu He left Congxindu.

Youzhou, Zhuo County, outside the city of Gu'an, on the bank of the Yishui River, Liu He finally stopped his rapid footsteps and walked on the south bank of the river accompanied by Xian Yufu.

"Childe, after crossing this river, the road to Jixian County will be opened, and we will be able to reach it in a few days."

"Is this the Yi Shui when Jing Ke stabbed Qin south?" Liu He asked a little absent-mindedly.

"It's hard to say. Yishui is actually divided into South Yishui, Zhongyishui and North Yishui, and now the place where we are standing belongs to Beiyishui. Who knows which river Prince Yan Dan saw off Jing Ke back then? ”

"Alas, I thought that I could be a yaman comfortably when I returned to Youzhou this time, but I never thought that the situation in Youzhou would be so grim now! What do you guys do on a regular basis? Tens of thousands of horses will come and go, do you want to organize discipline? Do you want to ban it? Liu He muttered to Xian Yufu, and said all about the discipline of the army.

How did you let Liu He not get angry, marching north all the way, running so much that everyone was about to lose his breath, but after many days, he didn't even see the shadow of Liu Yu's army. Now that Liu He has entered Youzhou for more than 100 miles, Shi Ah and Ding, who were sent to find out the news, have not returned yet, and they don't know where Liu Yu went with an army of 50,000.

Xian Yufu has been with Liu He recently, and he can be regarded as having figured out Liu He's temper, and he is not bored with the eldest prince's nagging at this time, but patiently explained: "The composition of the soldiers and horses under the command of the lord is complex, there are local Han soldiers in Youzhou, some are requisitioned from the Wuhuan tribe and the Xianbei tribe, and Yan Rou brought them, so it is more troublesome to control, and sometimes it is normal for such and such problems to occur." ”

"Rub, since there are soldiers from the Wuhuan tribe and the Xianbei tribe among the soldiers and horses led by my father, how dare he take these soldiers to fight against the Xianbei people who are plundering in the south?" Liu He asked in some surprise.

"Gongzi doesn't know, this Wuhuan tribe is distributed in Liaoxi, Youbeiping, Yuyang, Shanggu, Daijun, Yanmen and many other places, they mainly live with their backs to the Great Wall, controlled and protected by the Han army within the Great Wall, and bear the brunt of resisting for us when they encounter the Xianbei people going south."

"Because the Wuhuan tribes are scattered in Youzhou and Bingzhou, there are always some Xianbei people who hook up with the Xianbei people in the north to rob our Han people, and at the same time, there are some Xianbei tribes who get together with the Wuhuan tribe who are close to the lord, and support the rules set by the lord in Youzhou. The Wuhuan and Xianbei soldiers under the lord's command were sent by the tribes that supported him. ”

After listening to Xian Yufu's introduction, Liu He finally realized that the ethnic problems in the northern part of the Han Dynasty were so complicated, and they could not be solved simply by appeasement or killing, no wonder Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan had two completely different attitudes towards the nomadic tribes.

"I don't care so much, anyway, after returning to Jixian County this time, you will first train these 3,000 cavalry for me! My request is very simple, in the future, when these 3,000 cavalry obey the 3,000 white horses under the command of Shanggongsun Zhan, they must achieve a complete victory! ”

When Xian Yufu heard Liu He's words, his mouth grinned, and he almost cried.
