The cavalry galloped away on the official road of Daijun.
Along the way, we encountered some defeated soldiers and horses, and of course we also encountered some wandering Yellow Turban rebels.
Facing these people, Gongsun Zhu, Guan Yunchang and others did not mean to be polite at all.
After the defeated army was gathered, they were asked to wait for the troops in the rear. As for the Yellow Turban rebels...
"kill!"
Under the roar of Gongsun Zhu and Guan Yu, more than a thousand cavalry were enough to clean up the main force of the Yellow Turbans in Dai County.
What's more, it's just some scattered rebels?
With their roar, the army immediately rushed out and quickly killed all the Yellow Turban rebels who appeared in front of them.
At this moment, both Gongsun Zhu and Guan Yu had completely given up their pity for the yellow turban rebels.
On the battlefield, no matter what secrets the enemy has, pity for them is to show mercy to one's own sins...
With the fighting between Guan Yu and Gongsun Zhu, the army was getting closer and closer to Lingqiu City, the gateway of Nadai County.
In this process, as the commander-in-chief of the army, Gongsun Zhu finally ushered in his turning point.
"My son, Zhao Zhen, is here to pay homage to Lieutenant Gongsun. I have met several brave men!"
More than thirty miles southeast of Lingqiu City, Gongsun Zhu ordered for the first time that his soldiers should have a good rest.
Final preparations for the raid were made.
At the same time, a young man didn't know where he got their news, and then appeared in front of Gongsun Zhu and others by such a "coincidence".
And he revealed the identity of Gongsun Zhu in one breath, showing that he came prepared...
It seemed that the young man whom he did not know, Gongsun Zhu could not help but raise his brows slightly, and then there was a faint smile on his lips.
"The Zhao family in Daijun... This Daijun is indeed very poor, compared to the wealthy families in other counties in Youzhou.
In this huge Dai County, you, the Zhao family, are the only ones who can barely make it.
It is said... that you are descendants of King Zhao Wuling? "
"This..." After hearing this, Zhao Zhen also had some embarrassment and confusion on his face.
It seemed that he wanted to admit this matter, but in front of Gongsun Zhu, he felt a little embarrassed to open his mouth.
Seeing his murmuring expression, Gongsun Zhu, who had been a man for two generations, seemed to understand. He shook his head helplessly and stopped embarrassing the other person.
In order to live a better life in this world, it is certainly not a big deal to find a distant ancestor.
Of course, this does not mean that they shamelessly recognize their ancestors, but that their bloodline is too weak.
Just like Liu Bei... Gongsun Zhu would never doubt the identity of Liu Bei's Han clan clan. After all, Zong Zheng is not a fool, and neither is anyone in the world.
Being able to survive here, and being a member of the Liu family in Loudi Village, I can still have a grandfather who became a Shangguan and a father who became Xiaolian.
He was even able to study under Lu Zhi even after his complete decline...
All of this illustrates one thing, that is, Liu Bei indeed has an identity!
But the identity and bloodline are there, but there are hundreds of years between them, and he himself may not be able to tell which branch his ancestors are from.
Not to mention the number of direct descendants, I'm afraid it's a partial branch and it's hard to say that it can be counted.
This is the situation of the Zhao family of Daijun, which can even be said to be... worse than Liu Bei's.
Their ancestors should have some relationship, or blood relationship, with King Zhao Wuling, or with the State of Zhao.
But how far this relationship is, they themselves can't tell clearly.
Anyway, their surname is Zhao...and this place was indeed the country of Zhao back then...
Gongsun Zhu was too lazy to ask any more questions, but directly brought the topic to the most important point.
"Your Excellency came here late this night, presumably because you wanted to say something to us.
But before that, can you tell me what the situation is like in this county?
Then, tell me why you are here! "
Gongsun Zhu knew that he didn't have much time, so he didn't have any intention of wasting time and directly opened the topic very straightforwardly.
And he also put forward his own requirements.
If you want to help yourself, you must first show their sincerity.
And if you also want to help the Zhao family, you have to show enough sincerity first...
Gongsun Zhu's attitude made Zhao Zhen couldn't help but smile bitterly, and at the same time, Zhao Zhen nodded repeatedly.
At times like this, people like them who speak straightforwardly are always better than those who seem to be kind-hearted and talk about benevolence and righteousness.
Although their words are more comfortable to listen to, only people like Gongsun Zhu can make them feel real.
At the same time, I can really feel at ease...
"The situation in Dai County is not very good. Although there are not many Yellow Turbans, they immediately attacked Dai County, the county seat of Dai County.
He also beheaded Geng Fujun, the governor of Daijun, and also wiped out many of Daijun's soldiers and horses.
Now Daijun's soldiers and horses are completely in chaos. The captain died in the battle. In addition to the countless soldiers and horses who were killed, there are also those who have surrendered to the Yellow Turban Army and are colluding with them.
The rest have also become a defeated army. Not only are they in chaos, but they are also ruthless in their attacks.
Even more vicious than some Yellow Turban thieves.
In addition to them, some tribes from Wuhuan were also preparing to move outside the border, which made Daijun's border troops dare not act rashly. It is said that the large tribes from Wuhuan and Xianbei were holding back General Gongsun Zan.
As for Bingzhou, it has been relatively restrained so far, and there have been no major changes..."
"Grain and grass!" Gongsun Zhu directly stated his request, "How much grain and grass do you have?"
"I wonder how many Captain Gongsun needs?"
"all!"
"..." Zhao Zhen couldn't help but take a deep breath when he saw the lion opening his mouth, Gongsun Zhu, and finally restrained his impulse and didn't let himself curse.
"Captain Gongsun...just kidding..."
"I don't mean to be joking. This family is not just passing by, but wants to establish itself in Dai County.
There are thousands of soldiers and horses behind a certain family. After establishing a foothold in Lingqiu, they will train their soldiers and horses here, and then gradually wipe out the Yellow Turban rebels and the defeated bandits in Daijun.
Then gather the soldiers and horses step by step to pacify Youzhou!
Therefore... a certain family needs food and grass, and needs all the food and grass from your Daijun Zhao family! "
"..." This time, Zhao Zhen was really stunned. He looked at Gongsun Zhu in front of him and couldn't speak for a long time. "Gongsun Lieutenant, are you seriously joking..."
"A certain family never jokes!"
