"Just now, I counted a total of 67 people." Gongsun Xu pointed to the yellow cloth on the ground and asked: "Tao Dayong, are they reliable?"

Tao Dayong shuddered when he heard it, Gongsun Xu's question was somewhat strange, but he understood that they wanted him to personally kill a few of his comrades in order to completely cut off his retreat!

Gongsun Xu saw that Tao Dayong did not answer and asked coldly: "You don't want to?"

"This little one is willing! This little one knows what to do! " Tao Dayong's heart trembled, he immediately agreed, not to mention letting him kill a few of his subordinates, even if it meant killing his uncle Tao Sheng in front of him!

"Give him a weapon." Gongsun Xu instructed.

"Catch." Gongsun Jia took out the sword at his waist, and threw the sword over to Tao Dayong.

Tao Dayong took the long sword, his eyes flashed with a murderous light, and walked towards the group of people kneeling.

"Big Brother Tao, this little one has always been loyal to you!"

"Pui!" I, I have followed big brother Tao for many years, who can compare to me in terms of loyalty? "

"Junior Qu General, I beg of you!"

Tao Dayong pulled out the person who had called out for his Junior Qu General and stabbed him with his sword to the heart. He inwardly cursed this fellow as a fool. He had already pledged his allegiance to the young duke of Marquis of Ji's Mansion, and would also become an official under Marquis Jin's jurisdiction in the future. This idiot actually called him Junior Qu General, truly courting death!

A few of them stood up and resisted, and were all killed by Tao Dayong one by one. In one breath, they killed seventeen more people, and at this time, Gongsun Xu shouted for them to stop.

"Enough!"

"Here!" Tao Dayong respectfully agreed, and casually wiped the sword on a corpse and passed both hands to Gongsun Jia.

Gongsun Jia snorted and accepted it, using his strength to put it back into the sheath. The two brothers were extremely loyal to Gongsun Xu, and the person they hated the most was someone like Tao Dayong. If they didn't know that the young duke still wanted to use this person, they would have chopped off his head.

"Well done, I will reward you handsomely when we return to Ji County." Gongsun Xu praised, then waved his hand: "Come closer, now you can tell me where that batch of equipment is."

"Thank you, young duke!" Tao Dayong walked forward until he was three steps away from Gongsun Xu. He stopped and said in a low voice: "Young Marquis, that batch of equipment is in a hidden valley on the green mountain. my uncle is worried that the number of people will be exposed.

"Mount Daqing? "Five hundred people?" Gongsun Xu muttered, he muttered to himself for a while and asked: "How about Liu Fu Wu Yi?"

"His skills are mediocre, about the same as Sun Daniu's."

Gongsun Xu was stunned, "Who is Sun Da Niu?"

Tao Dayong looked at Zhao Yun and said: "It's the Junior Qu General that was killed by this general just now."

Gongsun Xu laughed: "Then there is nothing to worry about! Tao Dayong, you and Liu Fu have a good relationship, right? "

"The young duke is wise!" This little one is rather familiar with Liu Fu, if I go now, I have an 80% chance of winning against him. "

"What does Zi Long think?" Gongsun Xu tilted his head and asked Zhao Yun. In the future, he would let Zhao Yun be a general.

Zhao Yun bowed and said: "This subordinate thinks that this is not the best opportunity. We can wait until the battle starts again, only then will we have the best chance to take action."

"Haha, I think so too." Gongsun Xu nodded in agreement, and asked: "Tao Dayong, did Tao Sheng and Liu Bei collude? Do you know a person called Mi Zhu? "

"Liu Bei?" Tao Dayong shook his head in a daze. "my uncle has never been here with Liu Bei before.

"That's strange, why is Mi Zhu here?" Gongsun Xu muttered to himself. He looked at the sky and instructed: "Gongsun Yi, treat Tao Dayong's wounds. We will return to Ji County."

"Thank you, young duke!"

Zhao Yun's face showed shame as he softly said, "Little Marquis Lord, this subordinate roughly knows the purpose of Mi Zhu's visit."

"Oh?" On the surface, Gongsun Xu looked stunned, but in his heart, he was very happy that Zhao Yun was honest.

Gongsun Xu suddenly appeared in Zhao Yun's home. In addition to the fact that he had been rejected by Zhao Yun on several previous occasions when he tried to rope him in, the reason why Mi Zhu came to such an obvious conclusion was because Liu Bei really valued him a lot! But Gongsun Xu did not speak up to inquire, as he was waiting for Zhao Yun to take the initiative to speak of this matter.

Zhao Yun knelt down on one knee and said sincerely: "Yun has something that he had hidden from the young duke, I ask that the young duke be punished!"

"Zi Long, oh Zi Long, why are you kneeling down again? Hurry and get up! " Gongsun Xu jumped down from the boulder and supported Zhao Yun up with both hands, feigning anger: "Of course we have to be punished! How about this, I'll punish you to never ever kneel to me again! Remember, you and I are brothers! "

Zhao Yun was startled, he was just a small marquis, but Gongsun Xu was the noble young duke. For him to be treated so highly by the young marquis so many times, the gratitude in his heart could not be more intense. At this time, even if Gongsun Xu asked him to commit suicide on the spot, he would do it without hesitation.

"Why did Mi Zhu come here?" Gongsun Xu asked with a smile.

"This subordinate does not dare to lie to the young duke. Mi Zhu should have come for the clouds."

Originally, two years ago, in the first two years of peace, Yanzhou Gao Tang County had been destroyed by the yellow scarf. By chance, Liu Bei and Zhao Yun got to know each other. Liu Bei's skill and character were appreciated, so they got to know each other better.

After that, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao fought, Gongsun Zan sent Liu Bei to Pingyuan County to lead the troops to go against Yuan Shao's army, Zhao Yun was in charge of the cavalry, the relationship between the two became deeper, at that time, Liu Bei revealed his intent to recruit, but rejected him. After that, Liu Bei was appointed as the County Official of the Plains and Zhao Yun was sent back to the Youzhou.

Currently, Liu Bei was already the patriarch of the Yuzhou, and was ready to swallow the entire Xuzhou at any time to become a duke of a region. Thus, he once again had the thought of recruiting Zhao Yun, and wrote a few letters to Zhao Yun consecutively, even sending his trusted aides Mi Zhu to welcome him.

Zhao Yun was a loyal person and originally, he did not want to leave under Gongsun Zan's command. It was just that Liu Bei had promised in his letter that he would give all of his cavalry to Commander Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun was not a saint, and had only been a general for a few years already. He couldn't help but feel a little resentful in his heart, as though a good bird was choosing a tree to live on, and his brother Zhao Feng's illness was getting more and more severe, thus he decided to seek Liu Bei out. Coincidentally, Guan Jing was going to pick a candidate to escort Yuan Lu back to Huainan, so Zhao Yun took the initiative to announce his name, and prepared to head south with Zhao Feng.

If Gongsun Xu hadn't known earlier and chased him all night, and moreover moved Zhao Yun with his heavy kindness, the Youzhou Army would have lost one of his super fierce generals.

After Gongsun Xu heard this, he patted Zhao Yun's shoulders and comforted him: "My father does not know about your bravery, so he was slow.

"Thank you for understanding!"

"Forget it!" The sky is already bright, if we settle two more matters, we will return to the Ji County. Gongsun Yi, call the village elders over. "

"Here."

After a while, a trembling old man in a linen robe walked in front of Gongsun Xu and was about to kneel down.

Gongsun Xu was supported by Gongsun Yi as he asked in a pleasant tone, "Old sir is a local elder?"

Trembling, the old man said, "This little old man is indeed wondering what orders this general has?"

"How are the casualties of the villagers?"

The old man said sadly, "Seven died, and more than twenty were injured."

"How many people are there in the village?"

"Our village has a total of ninety-seven people."

"He actually lost 30% of his life in an instant!" Gongsun Xu was a little shocked and comforted: "Old sir, there is no need to be too sad. I will inform the local authorities that they will be well compensated and will even be exempted from next year's taxes. Gongsun Yi, give the money to this old man! "

Gongsun Yi nodded his head in agreement. He removed a money pouch from his waist and handed it over to the old man.

"Huh?" The old man was stunned and quickly waved his hand in fear, "You can't do that! He couldn't accept it! The general has just saved our lives, so how can we take his money? "

"Take it!"

Trembling, the old man accepted the purse, bowed and thanked him. May I have your name, General? this little old man so that people can put up the Immortal Tablet. "

"I am Gongsun Xu from Marquis of Ji's Mansion."

"What!?" Could it be that the general is the young duke of Marquis of Ji's Mansion? " The old man was shocked.

"Indeed, has old sir heard of my name before?" Gongsun Xu was a little surprised.

The old man said excitedly, "Of course I've heard of it. Everyone knows that the young duke saved Lord Liu in his robbery and is talking about the young duke's benevolence!"

"Heh heh heh … I was stunned …" Gongsun Xu laughed. He never thought that he would actually have such a great reputation, and that this reputation was brought about by Liu Yu. This made him feel bitter in his heart.

The old man continued, "Meeting the young duke now is indeed as benevolent and benevolent as the rumors say. This is our fortune!"

Gongsun Xu waved his hand: "Forget it. I have something I need you to do. "

The old man bowed and said, "Young Marquis, please instruct me. I will do it even at the risk of my life."

"It's not that serious!" Gongsun Xu laughed and instructed: "You go and find people to burn all the corpses of the Yellow Gown Army. If anyone comes over to investigate, tell them that I killed all of them.

'Who would come to inquire about this news? ' The old man was stunned as he nodded, "I will obey the young duke's orders. Please be at ease, young duke. If anyone comes to inquire about this matter, I guarantee that there won't be any loopholes. "

"Very good!" Gongsun Xu nodded in satisfaction and quickly walked towards his horse.

Moments later, the group escorted the fifty captives with yellow scarves and under the light of the morning sun, they headed towards Ji County.
