I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 517 Youzhou
Youzhou, Liaoxi County.

After taking office, Wang Kuang felt that he was just a stand-in as the commander of the Wuhuan Guard.

Although the predecessor Zhao Yun is not here, his shadow can be seen everywhere, whether it is the residence of the commander of the Wuhuan Guard or the military camp.

Including the Han and Wuhuan soldiers under his command, all of them were looking forward to Zhao Yun coming to make achievements on the battlefield in Xuantu County.

If there was a choice, Wang Kuang was unwilling to take over.

But now that he's here, what can he do?

That day, he had just returned home from the military camp when he heard the doorman come to report that his family had arrived.

Wang Kuang was shocked, because the Liaoxi area he came from was remote, so he did not bring his wife and children with him. The man said they were his family members. Could something have happened at home?

Thinking of the news he had heard recently about rebellions in various states and counties, Wang Kuang became a little anxious and quickly took him to see his family.

only……

"Who are you?" Wang Kuang drew his sword the moment he saw his family.

The guards who followed him rushed forward and subdued the "family member" without waiting for Wang Kuang to say anything.

As early as when Qingzhou Governor Chen Ji was assassinated, the emperor issued a special official document, reminding his ministers to be careful of the assassination.

Now that Wang Kuang holds an important position and has heard about the rebellion a long time ago, how could he not be on guard?

"My uncle doesn't remember me, but I'm really his nephew!"

"But since you haven't been home for a long time, it's not surprising that you don't remember me. You can ask about my hometown and you will know if I'm true or not."

Wang Kuang heard this and after some questions and answers, he really didn't find any flaws.

The person who came seemed to be really his nephew, named Wang Jia, although he was a nephew of the same clan who was almost five generations away from his kin.

But even so, he did not relax his vigilance. After letting the guards tie him up, he continued to ask: "Let me ask you, you have traveled thousands of miles from Mount Tai through Qingzhou and Jizhou to come to me. Did you have a smooth journey?"

"Bohai County is in chaos, so I came here through Hejian State." Wang Jia looked at the guards around him and whispered, "Uncle, the elders of the clan want me to talk to you alone."

Wang Kuang was unmoved and said bluntly: "They are all my brothers and sisters here, there is nothing I cannot tell my brothers and sisters!"

The guards were deeply moved when they heard this, but Wang Jia cursed in his heart.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Last month, that bastard Dong Zhuo shamelessly became the Minister of Justice by plundering the people and land of his clan. The elders of the clan thought that now is the time to purge the emperor's side!"

"Whether uncle agrees or not, the clan is ready to start a war. If uncle wants to surrender at that time, don't blame me for not risking my life to inform uncle!"

After Wang Jia finished speaking, he thought Wang Kuang would be frightened by his words, but Wang Kuang sneered and cursed, "Fool, do you think that without my approval, those useless people in the clan who only know how to eat and wait for death will dare to start a rebellion? What a joke!"

When Wang Jia heard this, his eyes went dark. It was over.

"Let me ask you, how many people like you are there in Youzhou? If you answer truthfully, you can suffer less. If you make a contribution, I can guarantee that you will be spared from death!"

Wang Jia felt that he had a way to make a living after hearing this, and he quickly said, "If my uncle asks anything, I will answer it truthfully."

"Are you really my nephew?"

After receiving a positive answer, Wang Kuang wanted to clean up the mess immediately. He explained to his brothers and sisters with some shame, "The fifth mourning period will soon be released."

The guards all looked at him with understanding.

Wang Jia replied: "Except for Liu Yu, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and a few others, most of the other governors and commanders who hold military power have sent people...but they are all fake relatives, only the nephew is real."

Wang Kuang: Why can’t I be happy at all?

Although he had not been in Youzhou for long, he had already had a preliminary understanding of Youzhou's military layout. Here, the one who controlled the most troops was not Liu Yu, who was in charge of Youzhou's military, but Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, and then Liu Yu and Ding Yuan.

After he arrived, Zhao Yun's troops were divided into two parts. Now Youzhou can be said to be dominated by Guan Yu alone.

Thinking of this, Wang Kuang immediately asked: "Why don't you send someone to win over Guan Yu?"

A conversation immediately emerged in Wang Jia's mind. At that time, he also asked the same question -

"You are stupid! Guan Yu is so honest, how could he be wooed by us?"

After getting the answer, Wang Kuang was very angry. You guys don’t dare to look for Guan Yu, but you dare to look for me, right?
"Tell me, who is behind you?"

Wang Jia said with a bitter face: "I don't know. I committed a crime and was caught by someone. Then I fell deeper and deeper into trouble..."

Seeing that his nephew was a waste, Wang Kuang immediately wrote an official document and sent it to Liu Yu.

Wang Kuang felt that he was very good and could distinguish the truth from the false, but if there were fools who were really fooled by such remarks, he had to be prepared to quell the rebellion quickly.

He just couldn't believe it. Was he really no match for the emperor's favorites, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun?

Moreover, Wang Kuang was actually somewhat puzzled by the nature of some people who were obsessed with land.

The real source of wealth has never come from farming. Salt, iron and wine are the three businesses that really make money.

However, Wang Kuang immediately thought that there were not many people who were qualified to get involved in this big deal, so they would hold on to the hidden land and population.

But what does this have to do with him!

He just wanted to make more military achievements and become a 2,000-stone official as soon as possible.

When he is old, he will be satisfied if he can retire as a minister.

Wang Kuang felt that his ideas were the most normal.

Yuyang County.

Guan Yu was also preparing his troops for war.

Zhao Yun is currently trapped in Xuantu County. If he withdraws, the people who once migrated back will inevitably face the counterattack of the Goguryeo people, which also means that the previous immigration efforts have been in vain. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, Zhao Yun still has to stay in Xuantu County to guard it.

As a result, Guan Yu felt that the burden on his shoulders was even heavier.

Fortunately, he is not fighting alone.

"My Lord, we were originally from this county, but after being robbed by the Xianbei for a long time, we turned around and became horse thieves on the grassland to rob the Xianbei."

"In recent years, the Xianbei people have been driven away by the Lord, so we often graze outside the Great Wall... We know that the Lord is kind and righteous. Some time ago, someone came to us and wanted us to cause trouble for the Lord. When we thought about it, we absolutely could not do such a thing!"

"Well, we are here to give the Lord the news!"

This is not an isolated case. Youzhou is a vast land with few people. Many people in remote areas are sometimes civilians and sometimes bandits.

Although Guan Yu did not understand why he had such a good reputation among various horse thieves and bandits, causing them to come to him to report the news.

But they did bring the news that Guan Yu wanted.

——In Youzhou, there is indeed such a group of people hiding in secret, planning to create chaos.

It’s just that their fox tails were too obvious and were exposed in an instant.
