Three Kingdoms

Yinshan.

The royal court of the Southern Huns.

After experiencing turmoil again and again, the entire Southern Huns have become more settled and honest.

Most of the Southern Huns have little culture, let alone civilization. However, the more barbaric the environment, the more they adhere to the principle that whoever has a bigger fist is the boss. Now Fei Qian, the general who conquers the west, has a significantly bigger fist, so the Southern Huns When the Huns saw the soldiers and generals who were marching to the west, they always had a smile on their faces...

Including Yu Fu Luo.

"General Zhao, I wonder what you have to do with me?"

Zhao Yun took off the bag and did not put it down, but held it under his arm. The new style of Doudou is good in everything. Compared with the previous model of weaving iron sheets, the new Doudou uses large pieces of stamped steel to provide a lighter and stronger defense. However, the only disadvantage is that it is too breathable. Sorry, after a long time, I was sweating. But compared to life, what does it mean to sweat a little more?

"General Zhengxi has an order! Please cooperate with Shanyu to march to Yanmen!" Zhao Yun did not have any rhetoric, he said it straightforwardly like a straight spear.

The muscles on Yu Fuluo's cheek couldn't help but twitch, and then he said hesitantly: "Yanmen? That's where the Xianbei Royal Court is..."

"Chanyu doesn't need to worry," Zhao Yun said calmly, as if he was talking about whether he ate meat buns or vegetable buns this morning. "Xianbei was defeated at the hands of the Yuan family last winter, so it will definitely not hinder us."

Yu Fuluo was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses and said, "General Zhao's intention is to march against the Yuan family?"

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Exactly."

"Well... well, I wonder how many troops General Zhao wants?" Yu Fuluo thought about it for a moment and decided that it would be better to deal with Yuan Shao than Xianbei. After all, if there really was a war with Xianbei, Yu Fuluo still felt a little better about Alexander.

"Three thousand!" Zhao Yun was still concise and to the point.

Yu Fuluo took a breath and subconsciously said: "Too many! Ah, this... General Zhao, you see, it has just entered spring, and livestock, large and small, need manpower to take care of them. Three thousand people were mobilized at once, There is a shortage of manpower...I can’t take care of you..."

Zhao Yun nodded calmly, seemingly not affected by Yu Fuluo's words at all: "General Zhengxi has considered this, so he ordered me to command three thousand Han people to help Shanyu take care of his livestock... Come here!"

Immediately, a strong man came over and bowed his hands to Zhao Yun and Yu Fuluo.

"This is Zhang Sima, who commands three thousand people. All the money and food used should be provided by Yinshan City. He will return to Yinshan City after Shan Yu's men return from the battle." Zhao Yun introduced to Yu Fuluo, "What worries does Shan Yu have? ?”

"This..." Yu Fuluo rolled his eyes.

"If anything is captured, apart from the war horses, Shan Yu can take half of the rest of the money and baggage!" Zhao Yun continued.

"This..." Yu Fuluo was still hesitant.

Zhao Yun turned his cold eyes to Yu Fuluo's face, put the bag in his hand on his head again, and said: "General Zhengxi is so generous, but Shan Yu is still unwilling?"

Yu Fuluo was startled and said quickly: "Yes, of course I am willing... I just don't know how long it will take..."

Zhao Yun said: "March."

Yu Fuluo thought about it, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement, and then ordered the troops to be assembled and asked Zhao Yun to lead them eastward...

…………………………

The enemy of your enemy is a friend to a certain extent.

Not to mention the three-point friendship between Cao Cao and Fei Qian.

Although there were still some voices within Cao Cao's army, Xun firmly ordered soldiers from all over the country not to interfere with the cavalry in the expedition to the west...

In the final analysis, it was Yuan Shao's order to let Cao Cao escort Han Emperor Liu Xie to Yecheng that deeply stimulated Xun.

How can I give up my little wife to others?

Don’t you know that every young lady has the potential to become a cross-dressing master?

Xun felt that Han Emperor Liu Xie had great potential, well, he had great potential to become the Emperor of Zhongxing. He was smart and eager to learn, and was not ashamed to ask questions. He did not ask for money in the palace, was not fond of women, and did not follow any heretical sect. He was simply too good to be better. For Xun, who followed the way of a gentleman, such an emperor was already quite good. That's good, at least Xun felt that Liu Xie would not follow the path of being a eunuch who only knew how to guard ceremonial duties and sell his official titles like Emperor Heng of Han and Emperor Ling of Han.

Therefore, no matter what, preserving Han Emperor Liu Xie has become Xun Xun's most important choice at the moment.

However, such a move was obviously a betrayal of Yuan Shao.

After all, the movement of the Zhengxi Cavalry was too great, and they couldn't hide it even if they wanted to.

In Puyang County, Wei Jian sat silently behind the desk, looking at the towel he had just written in his hand, and was silent.

It can be said that Wei Xiang's life has not been very good these years.

In the beginning, it was quite okay. I took on some government affairs. Although I was tired from the work, I was in charge of the power. Naturally, the people below rushed up to fawn over me. Although it was not corruption or anything, I still had some due filial piety and favors. There is still some.

But since Xun came, things have changed quietly.

On the battlefield ahead, there are naturally military generals fighting against each other in the mountains and rivers, each showing off his or her own cleverness. However, in the government affairs at the rear, there are also swords and swords, and there is no room for relaxation.

Although Xun was a man of five and six, his struggle for power and profit was not ambiguous at all. Over the past few years, the Yuzhou faction has firmly controlled important positions and departments, and the rest is divided among a few pro-Yu guys. However, for people like Wei Qiang, no meat was obtained in the spoils-sharing meetings again and again, and not even a mouthful of soup was left for him.

Now, Wei Jian has gone from being a wine-sacrifice advisor to Cao Cao to a household clerk in Puyang County. How can the gap between the top and bottom be described in two words: cloud and mud?

Advance, don’t advance even an inch.

Retreat, there is nowhere to retreat.

This is the current situation of Wei Ying.

However, in this situation, Wei Qi smelled a hint of change.

A few days ago, Xiahou, the prefect of Dongjun in Puyang, actually ordered a batch of grain and grass equipment to be transported out of the north of the city, and then returned with an empty cart a day later...

Wei Jian sent someone to investigate, but got an unexpected harvest.

Those who went to deliver supplies were all Xiahou's personal soldiers, not ordinary civilians and auxiliary soldiers!

This unreasonable behavior immediately attracted Wei Ji's attention, and then Wei Ji discovered at the same time that these soldiers of the Xiahou clan had been given a silence order. No one could say what they saw or what happened in the north of the city...

Wei Jian worked hard and finally found an alcoholic soldier. After arranging for his close men to have a good drink with him, he finally learned that the people who picked up this batch of luggage turned out to be General Zhengxi's subordinates. !

These money and grains are in exchange for the Western Expeditioners not to invade Zhuanghe and not to let their horses eat the young crops!

Soon after, news came that the Zhengxi Cavalry had defeated Yanjin...

In the Han Dynasty, the speed of message transmission was subject to certain limitations, and many things were slowly fermented. If Wei Jian had not been consciously collecting various information from the surroundings, he might not have been able to learn such news.

However, it was this kind of news that gave Wei Qi a bad guess...

There seems to be a change between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. And didn't Wei Qian, who came all the way from Hedong to Jizhou and then from Jizhou to Yanzhou, just to prepare for this day and wait for this day?

It's a pity that the Wei family was already in ruins at the beginning, and it was located in the east of Hedong, which was somewhat separated from Yuan Shao's power. Therefore, when they arrived at Yuan Shao's side, although they still received courtesy, after all, they couldn't grab Yuzhou, which had been by Yuan Shao's side for a long time. The faction could not defeat the deep-rooted Jizhou people, so they could only use a trick to get to Yanzhou.

But now all the hard work seems to have finally paid off. Over the years, Cao Cao and Fei Qian have been flirting with each other, not to mention purchasing military horses and equipment. They actually secretly supported the Western Expedition soldiers to attack Jizhou this time!

The ambition of the wolf is obvious!

And if he reported such important information and unveiled Cao Cao's ambitions, he would surely be taken seriously by Yuan Shao. Among his future achievements, the Wei family would definitely have a share!

"Come here!" Wei Jian sealed the towel on the table in a bamboo tube, summoned a confidant, and after a few words, he let the confidant take the bamboo tube away.

Weishi...

Wei Ju watched his men go away with a ferocious look on his face. He and Zheng Xi had a sworn hatred. Since he could catch Zheng Xi's sore leg once, how could he let him go willingly?

However, not two days after his confidant left, Wei Ji encountered an uninvited guest on the streets of Puyang.

Xun.

"Where are you going, Zi Xi?" Xun said to Wei Xi with a gentle smile, like a harmless gentleman, nodding his head on the carriage.

"Your Majesty, I am going to check on Beicang..." Wei Jian answered with cupped hands.

Xun nodded, rolled up his sleeves with one hand, and invited him with the other hand: "Just in time, so-and-so is also going here... I wonder if I am lucky enough to ride with Zi Zhu in the same car?"

"This..." Wei Jian hesitated.

Xun still had the same smile, and even the curve of the corner of his mouth did not change at all, but Wei Jian seemed to have something not good. Xun sat in the car, still holding out his hands and not moving at all. The whole train and horses were also parked beside the street, and the guards on the side were motionless.

If it is a disaster, can it be avoided even without taking a car?

Wei Jian gritted his teeth, pretended to be nonchalant, cupped his hands and said, "In this case, I am overstepping my bounds..."

Xun stretched out his hand, helped Wei Xi, smiled and asked Wei Xi to sit down, and said: "My lord once praised Zi Xi for being brave, careful, and courageous in doing things... I also heard that General Xiahou had many words of praise for Zi Xi. I want to The review rating is excellent..."

Wei Jian calmed down a little, then raised his hands and said, "It's all your own fault, I don't dare to take any credit."

"It's a matter of duty..." Xun nodded, suddenly raised his head and pointed at the restaurant on the side of the street, and said, "...it is said that some new dishes are introduced from Hedong to this restaurant. I wonder if I have tasted them?"

Wei Qian's heart skipped a beat, and he shook his head subconsciously and said, "I've never eaten it before."

"It's a pity..." Xun seemed to be talking about some short-lived parents, "If you have time, you might as well give it a try... The beauty of this peach tree is not good at all..."

"...Taozhi Yaoyao..." Wei Qi looked at the peach blossoms on the street. He was in a daze for a moment, as if he saw the peach blossoms as red as blood...

The two chatted about each other, and before they knew it, they arrived at the Puyang government office. Xiahou was already waiting at the door of the government office early.

When the carriages and horses stopped, Wei Jian quickly got off the car, saluted Xiahou, and then said goodbye to Xun.

"I'm not busy..." Xun smiled lightly, stopped Wei Qian from leaving, and said, "General Xiahou also has something to do with Zi Qi, so he might as well stay for a while..."

"This..." Wei Jian rolled his eyes, realizing that the situation was out of his control, but Xiahou's guards had already taken two steps forward and stood beside him, so Wei Jian couldn't help but make the decision and could only follow Xun He. Behind Xiahou, he entered the Puyang government office.

The three of them sat down, Xun looked at Wei Qian, was silent for a moment, sighed softly, took out a small item from his sleeve, and placed it on the table.

When Wei Jian saw it, the corners of his eyes twitched.

A section of bamboo tube.

There is still some fire paint on the top of the bamboo tube, but now the fire paint has been broken away, revealing a little bit of fabric.

"Do you know what this thing is?" Xun said lightly.

Seeing that his whereabouts had been exposed, Wei Jian no longer tried to hide it. He was sitting behind the desk, pulled back his face, and said in a deep voice: "A certain person is under Mr. Yuan and serves as the Yanzhou news envoy. He has the responsibility to investigate and report the news. Why, do you have any doubts about this, or is what someone said untrue?"

"Haha... Shan..." Xun didn't expect that Wei Ji was such a bachelor, so he smiled and said, "Zi Ji is straightforward, which saves a lot of words... I just don't know why Zi Ji betrayed his lord? The supreme lord is so benevolent. Nothing?"

"I respect you, Mr. Cao!" Wei Jian said calmly, "But I am the one who takes the post of Mr. Yuan first and serves as the subordinate of Mr. Cao. Naturally, I need to give priority to Mr. Yuan."

"Understood." Xun nodded, turning a deaf ear to Wei Ji's attempt to use Yuan Shao to suppress the situation. He turned to Xiahou and said, "This matter will trouble General Xiahou..."

Xia Hou nodded and said in a deep voice: "Come here! Wei Congcao is ill and has sudden hysteria! Send him to the side hall quickly and ask the doctor to come for treatment!"

Wei Jian jumped up and said angrily: "How dare you! You need..."

Before he could finish his words, several of Xiahou's guards rushed forward and struck Wei Jian hard on the back of the head. He was knocked unconscious immediately and then dragged out like a dead dog... …

Xun and Xiahou sat motionless like two statues. After a while, a doctor came to the hall, kowtowed and reported: "Your Majesty, this... this Wei Congcao is suffering from a severe epidemic, and the medicine and stone are ineffective, and he has... already lost his fortune..."

Xun waved his hand slightly, signaling the doctor to go down, and then sighed and said: "Zi Chu's unfortunate fate is really disappointing! General Xiahou, I wonder if Zi Chu has any family members, or relatives and friends in Puyang?"

Xia Hou said: "Wei Congcao Suxi is pure and has no friends. He only has one wife, one concubine and one son at home..."

Xun said: "Zi Zhu fell ill from working for Cao Gong, and Cao Gong should take care of his wife... General Xiahou was worried about sending someone to help arrange Zi Zhu's funeral. Three days later, he returned to Xuchang with a certain person..."

Xia Hou quickly agreed, and then said in a low voice: "Wen Ruo, killing this beast will certainly relieve the hatred, but..."

Xun took a breath, raised his chin slightly, gestured to the bamboo tube on the table, and said with a smile: "General Xiahou, relax, don't you still have this thing..."
