Lord Yuan

Chapter 174 Han Dang’s worries about powerful forces
"Yuan Jun!"

Wen Chou and others returned home at night, when the sky was slightly bright.

Yuan Shaozheng got up just in time. This was the most solid sleep he had felt all day.

News from the people below came to him one after another, most of which were about the powerful gentry in Liaodong.

Seeing Wen Chou's smooth return, Yuan Shao nodded. Just when he was about to express his appreciation, he saw that there was an older man in black among the returning team. He looked to be around twenty years old.

Wen Chou saw Yuan Shao's doubts and immediately raised his voice to congratulate him: "Yuan Jun, this is the Han Dang whom I have longed for, Han Yigong!"

Hearing this, Yuan Shao immediately set his sights on the so-called Han Dang and looked at him carefully from top to bottom. Although he was still young, he still looked brave.

There was a hint of joy in his eyes, he walked up to them, looked at each other with a smile, patted Han Dang's arm gently, and said with admiration: "You are really a handsome young man, how can Yi Gong and Shu Yu meet again?"

When Wen Chou explained the details, Yuan Shao became even more cheerful.

Even though he planned to pull Han Dang to go inside, Han Dang clasped his hands and bowed and saluted: "I didn't know that Yuan Jun was here before. I almost missed Yuan Jun's important event because of the long history. I should be ashamed. Yuan Jun will not give up and will follow you without hesitation!"

Seeing his actions like this, Yuan Shao couldn't help but feel emotional, not only to gain another strong general, but also to feel happy that Wen Chou had obtained unexpected gains for him again and again.

Wen Chou, as a military general, changed his identity at this time and became an engine for recommending strong generals. This was something Yuan Shao did not expect.

Now Huang Zhong, Wen Chou, and Han Dang are all in place, and the innate conditions for forming a crossbow cavalry battalion have been gathered. Each of these three people can stand alone in their archery skills, and they have had many outstanding achievements.

Of course, at this period, Huang Zhong may always have the advantage of occupying the top spot. He has the terrifying power of being able to perform four-stone hard skills, not to mention the excellent singing of Lu Bu's halberd shooting, but also the three-dimensional skills of Yang Youji. The ancient marksman who used arrows to quell the rebellion faced Huang Zhong's fashion and did not dare to become a marksman.

Of course, if you want to form a huge crossbow cavalry battalion, you must be well-equipped. The manpower and financial resources required are unimaginable, not to mention it is in the vast and sparsely populated Liaodong region.

Before that, Yuan Shao must ensure that Liaodong can absorb enough people during his tenure. Whether they are Han people from surrounding counties or foreigners outside the Great Wall, as long as they can be used for his own purposes, he can make them completely Become a glorious crossbow soldier.

And this is why Yuan Shao wanted Xun Chen to vigorously develop the wasteland, absorb the refugees, and rectify the powerful gentry.

Those powerful gentry who occupy most of the resources but never contribute anything have become a complete obstacle to Liaodong, which wants to urgently develop.

As for those war horses, Yuan Shao didn't have much worry. In this land of Liaodong, everything was lacking, except for horses. Even in the land outside the Great Wall, there were already 900 foreign war horses with better breeds under his command. Many horses.

It was incidental to the compensation paid by Kanji last time. Dozens of them died due to hunger strikes during the transportation, and the rest were arranged by Yuan Shao to be used by his direct cavalry troops.

Yan Liang and others were quite happy about this. Compared with these foreign tribes outside the Great Wall who were already very good at handling horses, the Han army's horse-raising technology was relatively weak. With the blessing of these horses, the cavalry unit's combat effectiveness would be greatly improved. It is increasing day by day, like a tiger gaining more wings.

At the moment, Han Dang was immersed in joy. Seeing Yuan Shao himself, he felt that the rumors were not true. Such a courteous and virtuous corporal's attitude was enough to impress him. Thinking about the long history of the past, Han Dang's face darkened. He ended up like this. The perpetrator Yet still at large.

Of course he knew that these people in front of him were just idiots who had been exposed to the public. Ordinary people would never dare to dig someone's grave. Except for those powerful families, he had already vaguely grown up from the past. Shikou learned that he had some evidence of their crime in his hands, and was planning to study it in depth, and then consolidate it and inform the captain.

However, things are unpredictable, but those powerful people took the lead. Through many means behind them, and with the approval of officials at all levels in the Duwei Mansion, Chang Shi had to be alone.

The change in Han Dang's expression was naturally noticed by Yuan Shao, who was paying special attention to him. He smiled and put his hand on the other person's shoulder.

"Could the volunteers be angry about the death of Chang Shi?"

Han Dang sighed, and after making a decision, he said in disappointment: "In the past, Chang Shi had been in danger many times to collect evidence. However, he was weak and weak, and was designed to end up like this. If he hadn't been in his hometown at that time, he would have died. We need to protect him, now that the remains of a long history are exposed in the wilderness, but those people are able to take care of themselves and even hold power, how can they not be extremely angry?"

Of course he understands that even if Yuan Jun is now famous, in this land of Liaodong, even if he comes from western Liaoning, he has heard about it, let alone those Li Shu, but he is only famous, and when it comes to the influence in this Liaodong , compared with those powerful ones, they are still much weaker after all.

In the past, Chang Shi suffered from this disadvantage. Without the strength to add to his strength, it was wishful thinking to overthrow the powerful by single-handedly.

What's more, this Liaodong vassal state is not the sole authority of Chang Shi. There is also a captain who is in charge of absolute power. Han Dang has reminded Chang Shi more than once to be careful of the revenge of those powerful people, but he was told that local snakes would not dare to harass the imperial officials. Reasons to decline.Han Dang also thought that this was the reality until Chang Shi's death.

But now, when he heard that Yuan Jun wanted to do something that had been unfinished for a long time, he felt both emotion and panic in his heart.

Dang Ji gave words of advice: "Yuan Jun is now a long history and is under the command of the captain. With his current military achievements and reputation, the captain is already old. In time, he may not be able to be promoted to the position of captain. By then, Yuan Jun wants to If you are more sure of doing certain things, why take unnecessary risks now? The long history of the past is a lesson learned. If you are not completely sure, Yuan Jun should put his own safety first."

He had already made up his mind to follow Yuan Shao, so naturally he couldn't just watch Yuan Shao step into this abyss. Even if his original intention was good, it was not worth risking his life for it.

Hearing this, Yuan Shao laughed lightly and looked at Han Dang's eyes quietly, full of worry.

Yuan Shao became more and more satisfied with Han Dang's suggestion. Even if these future famous generals have not experienced troubled times, they still have various behaviors that are different from ordinary people, just like Yan Liangwen Chou, or the people in front of him. Han Dang.

He was brave, resourceful, and not reckless. Han Dang's performance satisfied him, but Han Dang didn't know it.

There was an absolute gap between Chang Shi and himself in the past. This was a cognitive gap. Even if Chang Shi was given more help from some capable people, it would be impossible to change the situation. Yuan Shao was different.

Yuan Shao, who has now begun to gradually infiltrate, has a lot of criminal evidence about these powerful men in his hands.

All you need to do is find a suitable opportunity to make it irreversible.

What Yuan Shao wants is not just the Zhao family. What he wants is that all powerful families in Liaodong must express their attitude and submit to him.

Wen Chou reminded Han Dang at the side: "Don't worry, Mr. Yi, Yuan Jun has his own plan, which is to unite all those people, and they won't be worth a finger of Yuan Jun."

Although Han Dang was surprised when he heard this, as a follower, he felt that he must fulfill his due responsibilities.

"Shu Yu may not know that those people are cruel in nature, and they are no less generous than foreigners. Those foreigners can get iron tools to help them, but these people always disguise themselves as businessmen and go to trade outside the Great Wall. Their crimes are It is not an exaggeration to kill them with a thousand cuts, but at the moment, their power is huge and cannot be eradicated at once. If we do it, we may scare the grass and scare the snake, which will be counterproductive."

"As far as I know, many business travelers have begun to go outside the Great Wall yesterday, and several of them are disguised as strong men. Even after going through the Liaodong War, these people still don't give up. Yuan Jun is still young. We will punish these people in the future. It’s not too late.”

Han Dang's meaning is very clear. He has a deep understanding of those powerful forces, and he is afraid that Yuan Jun, who has a bright future, will be trapped in this situation and unable to escape, which will eventually lead to disaster.

Wen Chou looked at the picture of Han Dang with many words of advice, dumbfounded, and felt a lot of emotion.

However, if Yuan Shao dared to do this, he must have been fully prepared. After thinking about it, in order to calm Han Dang's throbbing mood, he turned around and gave Han Dang a letter from the Zhao family to read.

Han Dang took one look, his face suddenly changed, and he quickly raised his head and said in shock: "Here, the Zhao family dares to carry so much ordnance and supplies. Could it be that they want to cause Xianbei to start a war again?"

The content of the letter stated that the head of the Zhao family planned to enrich Xianbei with such materials in exchange for enough gold, silk, jewelry and a series of wealth. The Xianbei people did not pay attention to this. , Strong soldiers pay special attention to their armor and sharp swords.

But this time, the Zhao family secretly forged hundreds of pieces of armor and hid them, as well as thousands of sharp blades made of iron tools. If they had any intention of treason, they would be sure of it, let alone go to the outside of the Great Wall to provide it to the Xianbei aliens outside the Great Wall.

The Zhao family should deserve to die if they eat inside and outside.

Suddenly, Han Dang came back to his senses and stared at the letter in his hand, then looked at Yuan Shao who was calm, and asked incredulously: "Where did Yuan Jun come from? Could it be that he forged it on his own to replace his guilt? If not, With real evidence, this letter alone will hardly affect the Zhao family."

Yuan Shao couldn't laugh or cry. This was the evidence he had obtained. Even those armors and iron weapons were all under his control. Han Dang thought they were forged. From this, we could see how powerful those heroes had become. To this extent, even a fierce general like Han Dang is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"This is not forgery, but real evidence."

It's not like to torture those tribal officials and use a written confession as evidence.
