I came to Jixian County, and it was a few days later.

Liu Bei finally came in the dust, and met Yang Zhao and them in the post house in Jixian County, and first asked, "How is the junior brother now?" Shall I go and see Kong Yuanjun? ”

Yang Zhao knew that he was worried about the issue of merit, and explained: "Senior brother's merits, I have already reported them all, at that time, Yun Chang and Yide were watching from the side, if senior brother is not at ease, you can go to visit Kong Envoy Jun first, what to do next, you have to wait for Your Majesty's edict." ”

Liu Bei laughed and said: "Of course I believe in Senior Brother, by the way, where is Senior Brother Gongsun?" ”

"Xuande, I'm here!"

Gongsun Zhan happened to be in the post house, and he was chatting with Yang Zhao about the art of war, strategy and other things just now.

In terms of the art of war, Yang Zhao only learned it from Lu Zhi, and he is considered a beginner, so he doesn't know much, but he has more than 1,800 years of knowledge than people of this era, and he brags about it, which makes Gongsun Zan admire.

"I've seen Senior Brother!"

Liu Bei straightened his clothes, and then bowed.

Gongsun Chan smiled and said: "Xuande, come in and sit, today the three of us are reunited, I haven't been to Luoyang for a long time, is the teacher okay?" ”

Liu Bei said: "The teacher is in good health, and the junior brother said that we should be able to go to Luoyang this time, and Senior Brother Gongsun is not with us?" ”

"No!"

Gongsun Zhan said solemnly: "Kong Yuanjun will probably be recalled, Youzhou has just experienced war, if there is no one to guard it, I am afraid that there will be problems, I must stay and clean up the remnants of Zhang Ju and others, you will say hello to the teacher for me." ”

Liu Bei admired: "Senior Brother Gongsun is righteous! ”

The three of them are brothers, and they can be regarded as having a small gathering in the post house in Jixian County.

Later, Gongsun Zhan prepared a room for Liu Bei and lived in the post house temporarily, waiting for His Majesty's edict to arrive, before he knew whether to go to Luoyang.

According to Yang Zhao's inference, they have made such a great contribution that they must go.

At the end of the reminiscence, Liu Bei took out a letter from his body that was stuffed in a bamboo tube and sealed with wax, and said, "Senior brother, this is what Tian Zitai asked me to pass on to you." ”

"I'm sorry brother!"

Yang Zhao sent Liu Bei away, opened the wax seal, took out the silk silk inside, and only wrote one word - good!

Tian Chou's reply was to agree with Yang Zhao's arrangement.

But only replying to one word, he was worried that Liu Bei would peek, right?

A good word, even if Liu Bei peeked at it, he couldn't guess what it meant.

After reading it, Yang Zhao used an oil lamp to burn the silk.

In the next time, they did not return to Liangxiang for the time being, but Yang Zhao asked for credit for Tian Chou through Kong Rong and arranged for Tian Chou to be promoted to Liangxiang County Commander.

The population of Liangxiang has long exceeded 10,000 households, Youzhou has a record, and Tian Chou is now the real county order, not the county commander.

The waiting time has been particularly long.

Unconsciously, it came to November of the fifth year of Zhongping.

A carriage from Luoyang, facing the wind and snow, walked into Jixian County, walked directly to the government office, and shouted that His Majesty's holy decree is coming.

When Kong Rong heard this, he hurriedly called Yang Zhao and the others to greet him.

Qiu Liju was killed in August, and the holy decree was sent in November, so you can imagine how inefficient the current court is and how serious the problems in the court are.

The content of the holy decree was very simple, just as Kong Rong and Yang Zhao had guessed.

They all have to go to Luoyang, and those who have merit will be rewarded, and those who have no merit, such as Kong Rong, who has to give up the post of assassin.

"Command!"

Kong Rong took the decree, and by the way, stuffed a few more pieces of gold to the chamberlain who delivered the decree.

The chamberlain was a person who understood, and immediately smiled and said: "Kong Envoy Jun, please rest assured, you will not be punished when you go back, and you will not be questioned, but your position may change." ”

He is the person next to Liu Hong, and he knows more about the relevant news than anyone else.

"Thank you, waiter!"

Kong Rong breathed a sigh of relief, and was mentally prepared.

So he decided to go back to Luoyang early tomorrow morning, and let people entertain the servant today.

Walking out of the government office, Liu Bei looked forward to it: "Senior brother, what reward do we think we can get if we go to Luoyang again?" ”

He is full of expectations for returning to Luoyang.

Yang Zhao said: "There is a reward, but it will not be very high." ”

"Why?"

Liu Bei was puzzled, they made a great contribution to quelling the chaos and beheading the thief.

Yang Zhao explained: "My teacher and I have offended Zuo Feng, the little yellow door next to His Majesty. ”

He originally forgot about Zuo Feng, but when he saw the waiter, he remembered this matter again, Zuo Feng was a trouble, and in the letters sent by Lu Zhi in recent years, it was also mentioned that Zuo Feng often worked against Lu Zhi.

But Lu Zhi can cope with it, and he won't have much impact, and this time he will definitely hinder Yang Zhao and them from receiving credit.

"What!"

Liu Bei was shocked, and he knew very well what the current structure of the DPRK was.

It's either a relative, or a eunuch.

The eunuch has a very high status by His Majesty's side, and if Xiaohuangmen Zuofeng will obstruct it, there is really a problem.

"The teacher and the general Huangfu should help us."

Yang Zhao said again.

At the mention of Huangfu Song, Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, as if there was still hope.

Early the next morning.

Yang Zhao and Kong Rong were ready, followed behind the carriage of the messenger, and returned to Luoyang together.

After they left Youzhou, they walked southeast for a while, passed through Gaoyang, came to the eastern edge of Taihang Mountain, and went south along Taihang Mountain, passing Zhongshan County on the way.

"Waiter, let's rest for a night in Wuji County, right?"

Kong Rong saw that it was not early, and if he went further, he might not be able to catch up with the county seat in front of him, and he might sleep in the wild.

An inner servant still has weight by the emperor's side, Kong Rong didn't dare to offend casually, so he asked for his opinion.

"Okay!"

The chamberlain nodded.

So they went into the city, but the soldiers and horses had to stay outside the city and find inns to stay in.

"This is Zhongshan Wuji County?"

After Yang Zhao entered the city, he looked left and right, and wanted to visit Zhen Yan?

According to the time inference, Zhen Yi had passed away two years ago, and the current Zhen family is carried by Zhen Yan alone.

After hesitating for a while, he still forgot it.

I have to hurry tomorrow morning, rest well in the evening, and have a chance to meet Zhen Yan in the future, so let's be polite to each other.

But Yang Zhao didn't go to Zhen Yan, but was found at the door.

"County magistrate, Zhen's people are here."

Fang Rui came over to preach.

Because Yang Zhao's official position has not changed, he is still the county magistrate for the time being.

Yang Zhao was surprised, nodded and said, "Bring them in." ”

After a while.

"County Commander Yang, you are really passing by Wuji."

As soon as Zhen Yan came in, he smiled and said: "I got the news of the next person, there are a group of cavalry from outside the city, it seems that there are people from the imperial court, among which the horses of the cavalry are like the horses of the Western Regions that we sell, so I guess that the county magistrate should go to Luoyang to be rewarded, and I happened to pass by Zhongshan, I will find someone to inquire again, and I will come uninvited." ”

With that, he arched his hand.

In the whole Zhongshan, their Zhen clan is powerful, and there are many people, if they want to do something, they want to check some things, and it is easy to find out.

Yang Zhao was not surprised that he could find the inn, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhen, please come in!" I also understand that the reason why Brother Zhen came to me is that he has to be transferred out of Liangxiang now, and he will not make salt again in a short time. ”
