After the battle in Chenliu County, the battlefield had not yet been cleared. Zhao Yun, covered in blood, was sitting in the main seat. His armor was covered with blood, or rather the enemy's blood.

Now Zhao Yun has lost his past calmness and composure. He has become a little angry because of the continuous battles. At the same time, his expression also looks ferocious, giving people an extremely depressed feeling.

On both sides of the hall, there were high-ranking generals such as Sima and Junhou standing. They all looked at Zhao Yun cautiously without saying a word.

"Bring the people up!" Zhao Yun shouted loudly down below.

After a while, he saw two guards escorting Xiahou Dun, who was tied like a rice dumpling, in front of Zhao Yun.

Xiahou Dun's leg was still limping, and the original injury could no longer be healed. However, compared to his physical disability, the confidence and arrogance in his heart had all disappeared.

Now, his heart is full of deep hatred and disgust for the Han army.

Xiahou Dun came to Zhao Yun. He held his head high and looked at Zhao Yun who was sitting in front of him covered in blood with an uneasy look on his face, with a somewhat mocking smile on his lips.

Zhao Yun's face was deep, and he slowly raised the long sword in his hand, pointed at Xiahou Dun and said: "Common man, the heavenly soldiers have arrived, why are you still resisting? You help Cao Cao to abuse and fight against the imperial court's heavenly soldiers. There is no greater sin!"

"Bah!" Xiahou Dun spat fiercely and said angrily: "Liu Qi is just a little kid, and he dares to call himself emperor. It is ridiculous! If he is the emperor, then I am the emperor!"

Zhao Yun couldn't help but became furious after hearing this.

He stood up suddenly, stepped forward and kicked Xiahou Dun to the ground: "You actually said dirty words and insulted His Majesty! Are you tired of living?"

Xiahou Dun laughed angrily: "If I am afraid of you, I am not considered a hero of the Xiahou clan! Do you dare to kill me?"

"Why don't I dare to kill you?" Zhao Yun put the sword edge against Xiahou Dun's neck.

The sharp sword light touched Xiahou Dun's neck, piercing his skin. Blood fell down his dark neck and slowly fell into his clothes.

Xiahou Dun took a deep breath and revealed a sarcastic smile again.

"Boy, kill me if you can! I think you look like a woman, so I'm afraid you don't have the guts at all!"

"court death!"

Zhao Yun roared angrily and immediately raised his long sword high, ready to strike at Xiahou Dun's heavenly spirit.

Xiahou Dun closed his eyes and prepared to die.

But after waiting for a long time, Zhao Yun's sword did not fall.

When he was young, Xiahou Dun opened his eyes in confusion, only to see that Zhao Yun's sword had been put down.

The angry look on his face has also faded away, revealing his usual cold and calm expression.

Zhao Yun put away his sword, then stepped forward, stretched out his hand to help Xiahou Dun up from the ground.

Zhao Yun's operation made Xiahou Dun somewhat confused.

When he was young, Zhao Yun helped Xiahou Dun up, clasped his fists and said: "These men are heroes, can't Zhao Yun see that? You are deliberately irritating Zhao Yun and want me to kill you. If Yun can't even tell this, just

I’m afraid I won’t have to lead troops to fight in all directions.”

When Xiahou Dun heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He sighed and said: "You can't win on the battlefield, and you can't win off the battlefield. The commander-in-chief of a certain family's army has really failed and is really a source of ridicule."

After a pause, he saw Xiahou Dun again and said: "However, don't try to persuade a certain family to surrender! Although I, Xiahou Dun, am not very capable, I am not a groveling person! I swear to the death not to betray Mengde!"

Zhao Yun said sternly: "Zhao Yun knows that he can't convince his subordinates, but he can't send his subordinates on their way as he did just now."

Xiahou Dun couldn't help being stunned when he heard this.

But Zhao Yun turned to the guard and said, "Bring the wine!"

When they were young, they saw a guard walking up to Zhao Yun and Xiahou Dun carrying a tray with two bottles of sake on it.

Zhao Yun personally untied the rope from Xiahou Dun's body and said: "You are a loyal man who devoted your life to the Lord. Although you and I are enemies, Zhao Yun deeply admires your heroic spirit. I will drink this honor with you today."

, do your best for you!"

Xiahou Dun pursed his lips and hesitated for a long time before finally reaching out and picking up the wine prince.

He raised the wine cup in his hand towards Zhao Yun and said, "Thank you very much!"

Then he was seen drinking it all in one gulp.

After drinking, Xiahou Dun threw away the wine prince, turned around and limped toward the door.

The escorting guard looked at Zhao Yun inquiringly, but saw Zhao Yun shake his head.

They immediately realized that they were not escorting Xiahou Dun, but just following him to look after him.

Xiahou Dun walked very slowly, but every step he took was extremely powerful.

As he walked, he shouted loudly: "My Lord lives in the north, don't let me die facing the south!"

Zhao Yun did not comment, but just shouted: "Beat the drums and march vigorously!"

In the courtyard of the county office, soon the sound of "dong dong dong dong" could be heard.

After the three drums were played, everything seemed to have returned to silence.

Not long after, a guard came up and presented Xiahou Dun's head in front of Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun stared at the head, and then slowly said: "Let's bury him alive."

"Here!"

Army Commander Ma Liangxi stood up and asked Zhao Yun: "General, Chenliu County has been captured, and Xiahou has been crowned the leader. What should we do next?"

"Your Majesty defeated Cao Cao, and the armies took this opportunity to regain the lost territory. We must not slack off and immediately send troops to Dongjun to open a way for Your Majesty to go north!"

"Here!"

…

After Cao Cao's defeat, Yanzhou was turbulent. Zhao Yun regained Chenliu and Liu Bei stationed in Suiyang. At the same time, many prominent families in Shanyang County, Liu Qi's hometown, held the county governor hostage and tried to surrender.

Once Cao Cao was defeated, Liu Qi regained Yanzhou without much hindrance.

Although Cao Cao has occupied Yanzhou for many years, his foundation here is not that solid.

One is because he killed the famous scholar Bian Rang, and to some extent, he was already in opposition to the Yanzhou nobles, and Cao Cao's subsequent vigorous conquest of the Yingchuan nobles also made the Yanzhou nobles hate him even more

.

On the other hand, Liu Qi sent Chen Gong, Zhang Miao's old tribe, to persuade Zhang Miao's old tribe in Yanzhou to surrender to the imperial court, increase Liu Qi's influence, and help Liu Qi pacify Zhongzhou.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The most important key point is that Liu Qi himself is from Yanzhou.

Now that he is the emperor, any tribe in Yanzhou who is not a fool will never turn Liu Qi away!

It doesn't matter if they didn't know Liu Qi originally.

Liu Qi is the emperor. If he really unifies the world, what will Yanzhou be?

That is the emperor's hometown, the land of Longxing!

From now on, there will be a huge halo above the heads of Yanzhou people - 'Emperor Township People'.

Especially the people of Shanyang County are afraid that they will cry and shout to let Liu Qi rule them. If Liu Qi abandons them, I am afraid that more than half of the leaders of Shanyang County's prominent families will immediately rush to the Luoyang Palace to wipe their necks to mark their fate. His ambition.

Take a look at Nanyang County. It was the land of Longxing under Guangwu. What has it become after more than a hundred years of infection? In terms of reputation and status, it is far higher than all other counties in the Han Dynasty!

The shock in the Central Plains brought a series of effects. The entire Han Dynasty's counties and counties were swept by the news that the Han army was about to dominate the world. What's more, many strange signs appeared in various places.

First, in a dry well in Chenliu County, one day golden light shone, and the well was dazzling. People rushed to see it, and found that a yellow dragon suddenly flew out of the well, lingering in the sky above Chenliu County for two whole days. Hours later, it was just galloping away to the north.

There are also rumors that a comet appeared in the northwest, and a large star and many small stars fell in the northeast at the same time, with a thunderous force.

It is also said that in Luoyang, Xiangyang and Gaoping counties, on the 31st day of December at the end of the year, the sky above the cities all appeared full of red gas, which lasted from morning to noon, and accompanied by this red cloud, there were also There are purple clouds coming from the east, and there seems to be faint fairy music playing in the sky.

There are also rumors that a white rainbow piercing the sun appeared for several days in Yecheng, Hebei Province, which is a sign of great evil.

Suddenly, there were a lot of opinions all over the world. People in the south were excited, while people in the north were panicked.

There is no doubt that someone deliberately spread this news. As for who arranged for it to be spread, everyone at the top of the world knows it very well, but there is nothing they can do about it.

Once some news is spread, it is simply impossible to stop it from spreading. On the contrary, the more you try to stop it, the more powerful it may be.

…

On the Jiangdong side, Zhou Yu acted as an envoy and personally went to Wuxian to persuade Sun Jian.

If only Zhou Yu had gone there, perhaps the intensity would not be enough, but coupled with Liu Qi's current achievements in the Central Plains and Sun Ce's handwriting, Sun Jian would not be allowed to quit.

Anyone who understands can see that the trend of the world cannot be changed.

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the world has been falling apart for nearly twenty years. People all over the world are yearning for stability. Now that Liu Qi has gone through the Central Plains War, he has become what the people want, and no one can stop him.

Although Sun Jian was ambitious, he was not a fool, and he could still understand the general trend of the world.

After reading Sun Ce's letter, Sun Jian couldn't help but sigh, put the letter down and looked up at the canopy.

Zhou Yu stood under him and said nothing, just letting Sun Jian's thoughts wander.

Sun Jian's mind suddenly drifted to ten years ago.

At that time, he was in his prime, and he and Liu Qi fought against Lu Bu and Hu Zhen in Yangren County. At that time, Liu Qi was just a child in his eyes, and he still needed to be taught by himself in everything, and he also needed his own protection.

But who would have thought that time has passed and circumstances have changed. In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed and things have changed.

He is now forty-six years old, and the child who was a teenager back then is now in his prime. Both mentally and physically, he is at the peak of his powers. He has become the common master of the world and sent people to recruit Yu.
