The World of Yellow Sky

After that, in Longcou and Pingyuan, Zhao Yun also made outstanding achievements.

Later, Zhao Yun asked Gongsun Zan to resign and return to his hometown because of his brother's death, and there was no news from him.

The confrontation between the Han and Wei dynasties resulted in constant tax increases and all kinds of heavy labor.

In the end, it also affected Zhao Yun who kept his filial piety at home.

The Zhao family in Changshan is not an aristocratic family, but a poor family, with great prestige among the villages and pavilions.

It was also because of this that he became a general under Gongsun Zan's command.

After the filial piety period expired, Zhao Yun also left Changshan Kingdom again.

Only this time he had no intention of becoming an official.

The reason why I went to Liaodong was only because I received a message about Liaodong.

After the defeat of Gongsun Zan, the elite of the leading lineage retreated to Yijing, and the rest of the troops scattered.

When Zhao Yun went to join Gongsun Zan, there were many comrades who joined the army with him. Some of these people survived, and they fled all the way to Liaodong.

Zhao Yun went to Liaodong to find them.

At that time, the situation in the world was turbulent, and no one could see the situation clearly.

Zhao Yun originally wanted to serve the Han Dynasty, but he was worried that his family would be implicated. After all, the Han Dynasty and Wei Ting were opposed.

After Zhao Yun arrived in Liaodong, Gongsundu heard Zhao Yun's name and learned that it was Zhao Yun who defeated Qu Yi, so he kindly invited Zhao Yun to stay in Liaodong.

The kindness is hard to come by, and Zhao Yun also discovered that Gongsun Du is indeed a benevolent leader.

At that time, Gongsun Du occupied Liaodong, recruited talents, set up a school, recruited refugees, and traveled overseas.

Due to Gongsundu's determination and painstaking efforts, the Liaodong area gained temporary peace when the Central Plains was under the haze of war.

Most people from the Central Plains took refuge in Liaodong, and Guan Ning, Bing Yuan, Wang Lie, Tai Shici and others also came across the sea to seek refuge.

Zhao Yun did not choose to accept the solicitation at first.

He originally served as an official under Gongsun Zan, but he didn't want Gongsun Zan to kill Liu Yu later, making the people of Youzhou miserable.

He worried that Gongsun Du would do the same.

However, after repeated consideration and investigation, Zhao Yun finally chose to accept Gongsundu's solicitation and become an official in Liaodong.

Because he found that Gongsun Du is indeed a very charismatic protagonist.

"Although Fuyu is attached to him, his lord, Wei Choutai, is old, and the son of the country, Jian, is like a bear and a tiger, but his voice is like a jackal. It's not like a generation who is willing to be inferior to others."

"If it doesn't get rid of, there will probably be chaos in Liaodong. The choice made by the lord, Yun, thinks there is nothing wrong with it."

"Yun Fei is a person who loves fame. As long as he can protect the peace of the people in Liaodong, even if his reputation is damaged because of it, it is nothing."

"Zi Long……"

Gongsun Du looked at Zhao Yun with awe-inspiring expression, and was speechless for a while.

The world is going downhill, and people's hearts are immortal.

He has been in the officialdom for many years, and was promoted all the way as a small official in Xuantu.

Then he followed Shengwei Shang Shulang and Jizhou Governor until he was dismissed because of rumors.

Zhao Yun doesn't have much worldliness, what he has is just a relic of the ancient gentleman.

Those who are upright and upright are hard to invade.

Is the golden scale a thing in the pool?

Gongsun Du held the rein tightly, at this moment, he finally made up his mind.

"Zilong is so brave, he finally gave in to me."

Gongsun Du stared into Zhao Yun's eyes and said solemnly.

"My Gongsun Du is just the lord of one state and one place. Liaodong is too small for you after all."

"Ming Gong..."

Zhao Yun's expression changed slightly, and he was about to speak, but was stopped by Gongsun Du.

"When the Liaodong matter is settled, I want to recommend you and Ziyi to the court."

"Only by Daojun's side, in the center of the world, can you and Ziyi's abilities have a place to display, instead of being wasted by me and Liaodong."

"Ming Gong..."

Zhao Yun's expression was moved, he could see that Gongsun Du was really thinking about him.

"You and Ziyi have followed me for many years, treated me as master, and worked hard."

"Although I don't want to give up, I can't stop the official career of the two of you."

"This Liaodong, after all, is too small for you..."

Gongsun Du's mood was a little low.

His ambitions have all faded with time, and he's becoming more and more nostalgic.

Gongsun Du suddenly understood why Liu Hong wanted to make a northern tour of Jizhou to repair the Jiedu Pavilion.

"The Daoist Lord has sent a notice that at the time of the autumn harvest this year, the Southern Expedition Edict will be issued to attack the Southern Court and unify the world."

"Now that Jane is dead, the time is just right, and you can catch up with this southern expedition."

Gongsun Du raised his whip and pointed at the undulating mountains in front of him.

"The pacification of the Liaodong four countries this time is what I have laid down for you for promotion."

He is old and has no ambitions.

This time the four kingdoms of Liaodong will be pacified, and the position of Marquis of Liao will also be secured.

Xu An is a benevolent lord, he knows that he can use this merit to bless his clan to prosper.

His title of Marquis of Liao cannot be inherited, not because of hereditary succession.

It's just that this title cannot be inherited, but the title of Marquis of Liao will not be conferred for generations to come.

That is to say, even if Daming has been passed on for thousands of generations, he is still the only one who can be called Marquis of Liao.

Unchanged for many generations, unique through the ages.

A smile appeared on Gongsun Du's face.

In the future, on the history books of later generations, he will definitely be able to pass on independently...

There are four levels of titles in the Ming Dynasty: Duke, Marquis, Bo, and Zi, which are different from those in Qin and Han Dynasties, and similar to those in Zhou Dynasty, except that Baron is missing.

But so far no one can be named Duke, and the only ones who can be named Marquis are him and Lu Bu.

Although the title of marquis cannot be inherited, his eldest son can be downgraded to the title of earl, and the next level can become a viscount.

Then the rank of title will remain unchanged, and it will be passed to the fifth generation to terminate.

The Ze of Gentlemen, he will be executed in the fifth generation.

These are Xu An's promises to him.

Although the Marquis of Guiyi has the name of Marquis, it belongs to the title of foreign amnesty, which is different from the domestic title.

If it is forced to be converted, then the rank of Gui Yihou is probably the first rank of earl, and it is a one-time title.

"Ming Gong's kindness, Yun, will never forget each other."

In fact, in this battle, Gongsun Du can fully credit his two sons, Gongsun Gong and Gongsun Kang, with his achievements.

The battle in Liaodong is going well, and the enemy is not strong, but the achievements of expanding the frontier are profound.

Gongsun Du stared at the mountains in front of him, his thoughts drifted away with the mountain wind.

Looking back on his life, he had no regrets.

But he met Xu An and heard the blueprint that Xu An had drawn for him.

He only hated that he was born 20 years earlier. If he had been born 20 years later, he would have been able to join the Ming army in his prime and join the menacing general trend of the world.

pity……

It's a pity that there is no if in this world.

Born in Liaodong, he served as an official in Liaodong.

In the future, he will also live in Liaodong forever.

Gongsun Du raised his head, the sun above the sky was so dazzling that it was hard to look directly at it.

"stop------"

A sharp sound suddenly sounded from behind Gongsun Du.

Gongsundu looked back, it was the whistle of assembly.

The hour has come.

Next, it is time to pacify Liaodong.

The whistle sounded one after another, and on the mountain road, countless cavalrymen of the Ming army with helmets and yellow scarves had already stepped on their horses.

Their destination is the capital of the enemy country!

Chapter 832 Gathering

Ming Dynasty, Qingzhou, Zhouzhi Plain.

Qu Yi led the Qingzhou Wei army to the north, retreated to the north of the Yellow River, and temporarily kept Qingzhou in the north of the Yellow River.

Qingzhou in the north of the Yellow River has only two counties, one is Pingyuan and the other is Le'an.

But in fact, Le'an County only has an inch of land in the north, and most of them are plain counties.

Xu An simply withdrew the land of Le'an County and merged it into Pingyuan County. After all, he couldn't really set up another county guard in a place that was only a few miles away and had no important cities.

In fact, Qingzhou controlled by the Ming court only has one county, Pingyuan County.

Therefore, the county government of Pingyuan County became the state government of Qingzhou.

It was June, the sun was scorching, and the weather was extremely hot.

Outside Pingyuan City, a large number of armored soldiers stood on both sides of the official road, enduring the sun's exposure.

Qu Yi was wearing a military uniform and stood on the side of the official road with a knife in his hand. He also stood obediently under the sun and stood respectfully against the scorching sun.

Passers-by who saw this situation knew something was wrong. They didn't walk in the middle of the road, they either walked under the curb, or changed lanes again.

Behind Qu Yi, a group of Qingzhou officials were also dressed in scholarly uniforms and official hats, standing under the sun.

Under the scorching sun, there were many people, but there was no noise.

Everyone's eyes were surprisingly consistent, all focused on the end of the road ahead.

Qu Yi naturally didn't seem to have nothing to do, so he brought all the soldiers and officials from Pingyuan City out for training.

The reason for this is because he received news from Yecheng not long ago.

Just today, Xu An will visit Pingyuan City.

The last time I met with Xu An, the pressure that Xu An put on Qu Yi was really a bit heavy.

Originally, when Qu Yi chose to join him, he was actually a little bit upset.

After all, he surrendered with an army of [-]. Logically speaking, Xu An should have received him early to show respect.

But Xu An delayed for a long time before summoning him, and it was not Yecheng.

It's just that when he really saw Xu An, he didn't dare to have any complaints.

Each of the Tengxiang Guards who guarded Xu An was full of murderous aura, as if they had crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

Although Qu Yi is a veteran in the battlefield, he has no fear in his heart, but he knows that these people are definitely rare and powerful soldiers in the world.

Even the Wuwei army formed by Yuan Shao's selection of Jianrui and the team left behind by the Xiyuan Imperial Army is not half as powerful as Tengxiangwei.

When meeting with Xu An, he originally wanted to protest and express his dissatisfaction.

But when they met, the first time he felt fear, he couldn't see what kind of person Xu An was.
