Zu Zhao drove to the county where Gongsun Chan was located with hundreds of horses, he knew that Gongsun Chan liked to fight, and he had been fighting with the northern peoples during this time, and he needed food and grass materials very much, so he brought some military supplies as he liked.

The reason why Zu Zhao did this was to paralyze Gongsun Zan and his advisors. Now that Gongsun Du has begun to notice him, then Gongsun Zhan's advisors will naturally think about why Gongsun Du is against Zu Zhao, and then they will understand and check Zu Zhao.

Now Zu Zhao took the initiative to come with money, grain, and grass to show them that his generation in Liaodong was working hard to develop the economy and settle the people, and he had no other intentions, and there was no competition for power with them. Zu Zhao understands that he must now keep his light and keep his eyes open, and he must not ruin his future ambition because of his momentary arrogance.

This time he came to ask Gongsun Chan for help, and he brought his own elite troops here, day and night, non-stop. Because there are thieves and bandits everywhere in these years, he has to be careful, and there is no shortage of capable guys like Zhao Yun among these bandits, he met Zhao Yun before, and the two eventually became brothers, if he met a group of unreasonable ones, if he insisted on seizing his materials, he also had to have a guard, this thing is used to beg people, this time asking people can be for their own grand cause in the future, but they can't ruin their plans because of a few thieves, so he mobilized a group of elite soldiers and food will be escorted together.

When they entered the territory under the jurisdiction of Gongsun Zhan, an army had already noticed them and immediately surrounded them to block their way. As soon as I heard that Zu Zhao from Liaodong was coming to see Gongsun Zhan, the general of the guard was quite knowledgeable, and he had heard of Zu Zhao, but he had not met, and he had interrogated in detail why Zu Zhao was here and what was escorted in the car.

When he learned that these were military supplies escorted by Zu Zhao, the guard's eyes lit up, and his mouth couldn't help but smack a few times, but as a guard, he didn't dare to be careless, he still checked the things in the car very seriously, and after confirming that there was no danger, he sent someone to report to Gongsun Zhan on the one hand, and personally transported supplies with Zu Zhao.

Gongsun Zhan was returning from the expedition not long ago, and wanted to continue to pursue the enemy, but the reserve grain and grass were insufficient, and he was directly not used by hundreds of cavalry, so he had to come back, although he won the battle, but he was not very happy, and some people also told him that he could not have frequent wars, so that it would lead to the exodus of the people, and it would be more and more difficult for his army and land to be reclaimed.

Gongsun Chan is a natural combat maniac, if he is not moved, he will be crazy, so as long as he has some reserves, he will attack the enemy, and they are all fought hard, so when the northern people hear that it is Gongsun Chan, they will seek to inevitably retreat, and dare not confront him head-on, this is a madman who does not want to die, who would want to fight with a madman.

At this moment, Gongsun Chan was sitting alone in the room, holding a glass of water in his hand, and a map was placed on the table, and he kept pointing at the map, sometimes shaking his head and sometimes nodding. When he suddenly heard a report, he was a little upset and asked what was going on.

"Report to the general, there is a person who claims to be Zu Zhaozu Loyal Martyr who is escorting a batch of supplies and saying that he wants to see you, and now the guard is coming with him. The little fast horse came to report to the adults, and asked the adults how to decide. The soldier replied.

When Gongsun Zhan heard that it was Zu Zhao who came, he was a little happy and a little surprised in his heart, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "Why did he suddenly come to me, he has good ability, he has been developing in Liaodong County, and now he is escorting this batch of materials to see me, what is it for?" ”

Suddenly thinking of the materials, Gongsun Zhan's heart flashed, and he said secretly: "Since it is a material, it doesn't matter what he came from, accept his materials first, this is a good thing for me, as for what he asks me to do, I can help, and I can't blame me if I can't help." The teacher also took good care of him, and Huangfu Song admired him even more, if he didn't go to them, how could he think of looking for me? ”

After thinking about it, I still feel that the materials are important, and everyone is a brother in the same sect, and it is normal to see him, so I can take the opportunity to borrow some grain and grass from him for my own conscription.

Zu Zhao saw the team coming from a distance, and knew that it was Gongsun Zan who came out in person, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but he couldn't let this senior brother look weak, although he came to beg him this time, but his performance couldn't be too weak, otherwise it would be counterproductive.

"Liechen, how could you afford to come to see me suddenly." Gongsun Zhan dismounted, said with a smile in his mouth, but his eyes kept looking at the house on the carriage, the more he looked, the happier he became, and asked excitedly: "What are you pulling in this big cart?" ”

Zu Zhao saw Gongsun Zhan's drooling appearance, and couldn't help but curse in his heart, If it weren't for the design of your Gongsun family, I wouldn't have bothered to come to you. But thinking about it, he is still very polite on the face, not to mention that because Gongsun Chan is his senior brother, he has something to ask him for this time, and the face project must be done enough.

"Liechen pays a visit to Senior Brother. I haven't seen him for a long time, but everything is fine with my brother. Zu Zhao asked very politely.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's all right. By the way, the teacher hasn't been in trouble lately, right? Gongsun Chan asked.

Zu Zhao replied: "The teacher is also very good. Senior brother, I am really flattered that you came out to greet me in person. ”

Gongsun Chan laughed and said, "When you come to me, I should naturally go out to greet you, but what is your big car and small car, junior brother?" ”

Zu Zhao kept driving and said: "I heard that there are thieves and thieves here in Liaodong, and it just so happens that I have a batch of grain there that is ripe, so I changed some military supplies and sent them to my senior brother, so as to boost morale." Although it's not much, a little heart, I hope that the senior brother will not dislike it. ”

Gongsun Zhan said: "You and I are classmates, you are too old to see outsiders in doing this. But I'm just short of supplies, and I didn't expect you to know me so well. We don't talk as a family, you helped me this time, if you need my help with anything, just start with it, I will definitely not shirk half a word. ”

Zu Zhao said: "Senior brother said this, and the Liechen was even grateful in his heart. To tell you the truth, this time I went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, but I had something to trouble my senior brother to help. ”

Gongsun Chan replied very happily: "Since you have opened your mouth, as long as I can help, I will naturally help." After saying that, he laughed, kept checking among the carriages, and from time to time sniffed what was in the bag with his nose.

Zu Zhao thought secretly in his heart, this Gongsun Chan is very witty, and he emphasized that he was within the scope of his help several times, which not only said that he was bold, but also left a way back for himself, and when the time came, it was reasonable to say that he couldn't help directly, but fortunately, it was not a big deal to find him this time, otherwise I don't know if he would help.

"Senior Brother Liechen, I'm not talking here, hurry up and go back to the mansion with me, and it's good to discuss things with you." After seeing the house, Gongsun Chan was very happy in his heart, and hurriedly invited Zu Zhao into the city, for fear that he would temporarily change his mind and not give him these materials.

Zu Zhao naturally agreed with Gongsun Zhan's words, and after a long journey of looking for a car, he also wanted to take a break, even if it was just to sit down and drink some tea and wine. However, he knew that he couldn't drink tea here in Gongsun Zhan, and tea was something that only he had, and even Hua Tuo had never drunk it.

After entering the city and arriving at Gongsun Zhan's official residence, the two entered side by side, and after sitting down as the host and guest, Gongsun Chan boasted to Zu Zhao, and then asked what happened to Zu Zhao coming to him. When Zu Zhao heard this, he said that one of his subordinates was detained by him because his family had offended Gongsun Du, a small official in Liaodong County, and his subordinates were very worried. Although he is working in Liaodong, he used to have some contradictions with Gongsun Du, if he came forward, he was afraid that Gongsun Du would take the opportunity to make things difficult for him, and it was not a big deal to suffer a little, but he was afraid that he would have a fierce temperament and say the wrong thing for a while, and hurt the families of his subordinates, which was a sin.

"Why did they arrest your subordinates?" Gongsun Chan asked puzzled.

Zu Zhao shook his head and said: "I don't know, but in the past few days, I have seen that I have been careless, and I have repeatedly made mistakes in doing things, and I only know that something happened at home after being asked." So I only came to ask Senior Brother to come forward to help rescue my subordinate's family, which can be regarded as a great merit, and the Liechen will definitely be grateful in his heart. ”

Gongsun Chan laughed and said: "This is a trivial matter, I will immediately repair a book and ask him to release him, otherwise I will ask the court to say that he oppressed the people, and when the time comes, I will not let the court let me crusade against him." If you are not at ease, I can send someone to Liaodong County to tell him in person, in short, you can rest assured, this matter will not be a matter soon.

"Thank you, Senior Brother, for your help, I can't thank you enough." Zu Zhao said.

"They are all brothers in the same sect, and you have helped me like this, and sent me so many materials when I was in short supply, we can help each other, and no one owes anyone, if you are polite, you will say it." Gongsun Chan said with a smile.

Zu Zhao said yes again and again, but scolded him in his heart, if he didn't want to publicize it now, and he didn't need to make these materials happen, now it sounded like he really wanted him to help a lot, as if he still owed him a favor.

In the end, Gongsun Chan decided to send his cronies to Liaodong County in person to let Gongsun Du release him. After Zu Zhao thanked him for a while, he saw the confidence of Gongsun Zan again, and quietly wrote gold and silver to him, so that he must help him a lot. The cronie was very happy after receiving the benefits, so he might help him rescue people, and praised Zu Zhao for caring for his subordinates and being considerate of the people, and he must be a person who has made great achievements in the future.

Zu Zhao smiled, and said that he was very happy to be able to do a little good for the people in this troubled world, and he didn't dare to ask for anything. This is also the hope that this guy can say good things in front of Gongsun Chan in the future, and he doesn't want to be an enemy of Gongsun Chan too early, this guy is a war maniac, and when the time comes, he will harass himself twice in three days, which will have a great impact on his own development.

Following Gongsun Zhan's messenger, Zu Zhao rushed back to Liaodong County day and night, and gathered with Zhang Yuan there, after understanding the situation, directly by Gongsun Zhan's messenger and Zhang Yuan went to see Gongsun Du, Zu Zhao chose not to go, otherwise it would be too much to give Gongsun Du face, and when the time came, he was only afraid that he would have the upper hand, he just didn't want to fall out with the local heroes now, which did not mean that he was afraid of them, what he had to do now was to develop his own interior, attack from afar, and then be able to encircle the hostile forces.
