I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 597 Three Koreas
"You did a great job this time! Don't worry." Liu Yu said to Dian Wei, "This man deserves death. Although you were a little impulsive in your indignation, it was also out of your pure heart."

"Don't worry, General. I have no worries. I will just feel happy if I kill him!"

Seeing Dian Wei's reckless behavior, what else could Liu Yu do? He just let it go.

But he still had a trace of doubt in his heart. If officials descended from the emperor behaved like this when encountering problems, it would not be good.

He suddenly wanted to go to Luoyang immediately.

At this time, a man stepped forward and bowed, saying, "General, what Wei did was all from his heart. In the past, I heard the teachings of the saints. The Zuo Zhuan said that there is no better way to cultivate virtue than to nourish it, and no better way to eliminate evil than to eliminate it. What Wei did now is to put into practice the teachings of the saints."

Liu Yu was very impressed by the person who was speaking. He knew that the other party was the son of Cao Cao, who had once led troops under him to suppress the rebellion of the two Zhangs.

Of course, even if he did not have this identity, Liu Yu would have a good impression of him after listening to Cao Ang's words.

Dian Wei naturally also heard what Cao Ang said at this time. As he listened to Cao Ang say, "The best way to cultivate virtue is to nourish it, and the best way to eliminate disease is to eliminate it completely," distant and unfamiliar memories emerged before his eyes. This was what he had learned in the class that gave him the most headaches.

He didn't know why Cao Ang said that, but he still said, "Yes, it was to cure the disease as quickly as possible. That was what I was thinking at the time!"

Liu Yu: Could you please repeat the wise words that Cao Ang said?

Having said that, Liu Yu had expected Dian Wei's character because he dared to kill the criminal directly in front of the victim's coffin, so he would not argue with him too much. In fact, the reason why he said this was to find a reason for Dian Wei's innocence.

Afterwards, Liu Yu summoned the people who had immigrated here from nearby areas and announced his appreciation for Dian Wei and compensation for the injured people.

It was difficult to transport grain in heavy snow, so Liu Yu adopted the simplest method - distributing money.

Seeing smiles on people's faces again, Liu Yu felt touched. At this moment, he suddenly saw a girl standing alone, wrapped in sackcloth, staring at the crowd who were receiving money in a daze.

He thought of the document he had seen before and asked Dian Wei, "Is that girl the orphan?"

Dian Wei replied, "That's right. She doesn't have many relatives here. They are all in Qingzhou. Right now, many households have housing problems, and some have to be rebuilt. I can't spare anyone to settle her down, so I let her stay with me temporarily."

"What about the future? What are your plans?"

Dian Wei said: "I haven't made up my mind yet. I originally wanted to give her to a neighbor to raise, but I was worried that the neighbor would covet his family's land..."

Liu Yu didn't expect Dian Wei to have such a thoughtful side, and his opinion of Dian Wei changed immediately.

He suggested: "If you are worried about this, and there is no one at her home, you might as well take her with you and bring her home in the future. It can also be considered fate."

Dian Wei replied: "General, you are right. I do have this idea... After all, I only have one son in my family, and I don't have a daughter yet."

After hearing this, Liu Yu became even more satisfied with Dian Wei and immediately decided to praise Dian Wei more in his memorial.

After the incident was over, Liu Yu did not stay here for long. There were more than one house with problems, and he went to see them in person. Just when Liu Yu was about to leave, there was an urgent report from the post station. Liu Yu quickly opened it and saw that it was from Lelang County, and there were some problems with Ma Han, which was subordinate to Lelang County.

After this heavy snow, Liu Yu was not the only one who took care of everything personally.

In Xuantu County, Zhao Yun was riding a horse on a path that could only be vaguely seen. Thanks to the iron soles under the horse's feet, he was not in danger of slipping.

Tadun, who was also riding behind Zhao Yun, was wearing a cotton coat, and white mist came out of his mouth and nose when he breathed. He said, "My Lord, I will go the rest of the way. Why do you have to go there in person?"

Zhao Yun, who was in the front, said without turning his head, "It's cold today. Although the soldiers guarding the fort have winter clothes and coal for heating, and they are not short of food, they still have to face the threat of the Xianbei. If I go there, it will put their minds at ease, and I can also feel at ease."

Seeing this, Tadun simply stopped trying to persuade him.

After Zhao Yun inspected the fire forts in the north of Xuantu County and just arrived at the inner city area which had been renamed Goguryeo County, the seat of Xuantu County, he met the soldiers sent by Yan Rou, the chief secretary who stayed in the county, to look for him.

"General Liu sent an envoy here to discuss the affairs of the Southern Three Han in Lelang County."

After hearing this, Zhao Yun immediately rode back at full speed.

After becoming the governor of Xuantu County, Zhao Yun learned more about the Three Han. After all, the Three Han were only separated from Xuantu County by Lelang County and the Wimok people, who were like a mob.

The Three Han were Mahan, Jinhan and Byeonhan, but Zhao Yun knew that there were only two Han that could actually be called countries, and Byeonhan was subordinate to Jinhan.

In fact, the two countries were mainly loose tribal alliances. Mahan was in the west, with 54 small countries, bordering Lelang in the north and Wa in the south, and was a close relative of Wa. Jinhan was in the east, with 12 small countries, bordering Yemok in the north. Byeonjin was in the south of Jinhan, with 12 small countries, each with its own leader, and all belonged to Jinhan.

Although Ma Han was the most powerful, it was the most stable in the past. On the contrary, Chen Han once robbed 500 Han people in Lelang County during the Xinmang period. Later, a leader of Chen Han admired the beautiful land and prosperous people of Lelang, so he took revenge.

Officials from Lelang led their troops to demand the redemption, and Chenhan initially pretended that all 500 Han people were dead. But in the end, facing the threat of Lelang County sending troops to destroy the country if the redemption was not paid, Chenhan finally offered 15,000 Chenhan men and 15,000 pieces of Byeonhan cloth as ransom.

In addition, Jinhan and Byeonhan are different from Mahan. The former two are mostly descendants of the dead who fled the chaos during the Qin Dynasty.

Today, the Three Kingdoms of Han are nominally under the jurisdiction of Lelang County, but in reality, Lelang County is only responsible for their court visits.

It was not until Zhao Yun met Yan Rou that he understood the reason.

It turned out that among the many small countries that made up Mahan, there was a country called Boji, which had become increasingly powerful in recent years and began to annex other small countries for various reasons to challenge the position of the leader of the Mahan Sovereign Alliance. The leader of Mahan was unable to control it, so he thought of asking the Han Dynasty for help.

After this message for help passed through Liu Yu, Liu Yu finally decided to help the ruler of Ma Han.

Liu Yu considered that if he wanted to help the Mahan leader, he would have to strengthen his power with the Han army, and immediately thought of Zhao Yun, who was famous in Liaodong. He believed that the Mahan people must know the story of Zhao Yun conquering Goguryeo in one battle.

Zhao Yun originally thought it was a big deal, and he did not refuse when he saw the situation. It happened that he had just finished an inspection of the northern border and did not find any problems, so he immediately ordered a thousand infantry and cavalry and prepared to set off.
