Chapter 205: Zhao Yun enters Bingzhou

The white horse Yicong behind Zhao Yun was also very curious. Some soldiers even jumped off their horses and touched the road.

Hou Cheng, who was standing aside, smiled and said, "General Zhao, when the Xianbei invaded the border and our army defeated the Xianbei, he obtained thousands of Xianbei prisoners. The lord felt that he could not just leave them idle, so he built this road, from Jinyang to Huguan. Even if it was a carriage that transported food and grass, it would be very convenient. Walking on it on rainy days is the same as usual. The lord called this kind of road called cement road."

Zhao Yun said: "I admire you." He could imagine that if there were such a road in Bingzhou, once a war broke out, it would undoubtedly speed up the soldiers. The three armies would go first before they moved the food and grass. If the speed of transporting food and grass was faster, the army would move faster. The road in front of him could accommodate three carriages to advance together, which was definitely a big deal in Zhao Yun's eyes.

"The responsibility is that we can only send General Zhao here. When you arrive at Huguan tomorrow, you will definitely serve as a drink to entertain the general!" Hou Cheng said with his fists.

"General Hou was so grateful to me!" Zhao Yun replied.

Walking on a flat concrete road, the speed of war horses is much faster. On such a road, you don’t have to worry about the road ahead, which makes Zhao Yun feel very convenient.

Don’t worry about the situation on the road ahead. The fifty white horses who followed Zhao Yun also looked around curiously. Seeing carriages passing by from time to time, they felt like they were back to a peaceful era.

After entering Jinyang City for the second time, Zhao Yun could clearly feel the changes in Jinyang City. The original bluestone road turned into a straight and wide concrete road. The roads were neat and bright houses and the bustling people on the streets. Such a grand scene could not be seen in Youzhou. From the expressions of the people, he saw satisfaction.

The white horse Yicong, who was holding a war horse behind Zhao Yun, was also a little surprised to see this scene. In their impression, Bingzhou and Youzhou were all barren lands. When did Bingzhou become so prosperous, it was many times stronger than Jixian.

After relocating Baima Yicong in the city, Zhao Yun went to the prefecture palace alone.

When he saw Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, who was guarding the door, grinned and whispered: "The third brother is here to Bingzhou so soon."

"Second brother, this time I came to Youzhou." Zhao Yun's face turned slightly red. He understood what Dian Wei said.

"My fourth brother had already expected someone to come to Youzhou, but he didn't expect it was the third brother. Come with me in." Dian Wei smiled. In Bingzhou, except for Jia Xu, Guo Jia and Li Su, others who want to see Lu Bu must wait outside the door for Dian Wei to report.

"Meet the Queen of Jin!" Zhao Yun bowed respectfully and nodded slightly to Guo Jia beside him.

"Zilong, please get up quickly." Lu Bu stepped forward and helped Zhao Yun up affectionately.

The civil servants and generals in the hall looked at Zhao Yun with a much different look. From Lu Bu's attitude, they could feel their importance to Zhao Yun, and this strange general met Lu Bu directly without Dian Wei's notification.

Guo Jia, who knows Zhao Yun better, was whispering something in Jia Xu's ear.

After greeting the officials in Bingzhou, Zhao Yun clasped his fists and said, "General Gongsun fought with Yan Rou, and Youzhou was unstable. Yuan Shao sent troops to Youzhou to attack Youzhou in the name of Liu Yu's revenge. The general sent a low position to ask for help from the adults."

From Zhao Yun's tone, Lu Bu could clearly feel that he was not concerned about the war in Youzhou. He came here just to simply convey Gongsun Zan's meaning. Zhao Yun had also said before that after Youzhou was pacified, he would come to Bingzhou. It was obviously that he was extremely disappointed with Gongsun Zan's behavior.

"Zilong came from afar, and it was extremely hard. I would discuss this matter after resting in the city for a few days." Lu Bu pointed to the civil servants and generals in the venue and said, "These are all talents from my Bingzhou, and I will introduce them to Zilong one by one."

"This is Li Su and Li Weigong. Now he is a Bingzhou. Weigong has made a lot of efforts to achieve the current situation in Bingzhou. Looking back at the beginning, when I first came to Bingzhou, I had few talents under my command. It was Weigong who stood alone and supported the huge Bingzhou." Lu Bu pointed to Li Su, who was in charge of the top leader.

Li Su felt a little astringent in his heart, and his eyes were a little astringent. His talent was not as good as Jia Xu and Guo Jia later, but he was first introduced by Lu Bu. Thinking of the two meeting each other and then to Bingzhou later, he felt that no matter how hard he worked, it was worth it. "Lord, Lord Jia, Lord Guo is full of talent, and his subordinates have just done their own duties."

Zhao Yun bowed and said, "Meet Lord Li." Lu Bu understood what he meant, and this was to introduce him to the civil servants and generals of Bingzhou and lay the foundation for his future work in Bingzhou.

"Weigong came to Bingzhou with his official from Luoyang. He was very moved. If every official in Bingzhou could do his part, Bingzhou would be even stronger." Lu Bu was very proud of his praise. He had a very special emotion towards Li Su, after all, he was his first counselor.

"This is the military advisor of the Bingzhou Army. Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe. The Bingzhou Army suppressed the Xiongnu and defeated the Xianbei. Wenhe made an indelible contribution." Lu Bu said.

Then Lu Bu introduced the people in the venue to Zhao Yun one by one.

The handsome and polite Zhao Yun gives people a good feeling.

"General Zhao Yun is a powerful general. He followed his official to fight against the Xianbei and took the enemy's head in the chaos. Bingzhou was able to win a great victory, which was inseparable from General Zhao's assistance." Lu Bu said.

When the generals in the field heard this, they looked at Zhao Yun with admiration. The people in the army admired the most were those with high abilities. There was a saying in the Bingzhou army that "the capable are superior, the weak are inferior." Raiding the Xianbei is the main factor in Bingzhou's ability to defeat the Xianbei. They had heard of Youzhou, a daimyo, who supported the Bingzhou general, in the army before. Now they have seen it, and they feel very close.

After everyone dispersed, Lu Bu stayed Zhao Yun, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and Li Su.

"Zilong, I have learned about the situation in Youzhou now. However, Bingzhou cannot help General Gongsun in a short period of time. He fought with the Xianbei. Bingzhou lost troops and generals, and the new army is recruiting." Lu Bu said.

"I understand that after the Jizhou army entered Youzhou, I'm afraid Youzhou will be even more chaotic." Zhao Yun sighed. He knew that the current situation in Youzhou was facilitated by Gongsun Zan.

"There are no outsiders here, so Zilong just says anything." Lu Bu said.

"This time General Gongsun is willing to replace the county and the two counties of Shanggu to give in and ask Bingzhou to send troops." Zhao Yun directly stated Gongsun Zan's conditions.

Lu Bu showed a stern expression, but he didn't expect that Gongsun Zan would give in to the two counties directly, which was one more county than Guo Jia's analysis. It seemed that the situation in Youzhou was indeed at a critical level.
