Yuan Shao's army was approaching, and the vanguard was only three hundred miles away from Yijing. Gongsun Zan strengthened his defense, and the city gate was only open for one hour a day. He strictly checked the people entering and leaving, and was careful not to intervene in the city.

"Thank you for your kindness. When I get General Zilong, I will definitely say a few good words for you!"

A middle-aged businessman with a clean face and driving mules and horses was dealing with the guards at the door for a long time, claiming to be from Zhending County, Changshan Kingdom. He came to Yi Jing to be a businessman and sent a letter to Zhao Yun. After consulting the guards for a long time, he was finally allowed to enter. He hurriedly stuffed a silver in the pocket of the team guarding the city, thanked him repeatedly, and then led the mules and horses and hurriedly walked towards the city.

The horse hooves were sounding, and a team of horses came towards him. The leader was Gongsun Xu, the son of Gongsun Zan. He looked twenty-five or six years old and happened to meet the merchant driving mules and horses. Seeing that he was not dressed like a native of Yi Jing, he shouted: "The merchant stayed and came over and talked!"

After the middle-aged businessman entered the city, his heart was just overwhelmed. He suddenly felt a little bit more and complained in his heart. He could only grit his teeth and walked to Gongsun Xu, and saluted, "I wonder what instructions the general would give to call the villain?"

"I see that your dress and accent are not like those of Yijing's locals. The war is about to begin, why are you here?" Gongsun Xushou pressed the hilt of his sword and asked sternly.

The mule and horse merchant hurriedly replied: "The villain Zhao Yue is a medicinal material merchant from Zhending County, Changshan Kingdom. He is a fellow townsman with General Zhao Zilong. This time he went to western Liaoning to purchase medicinal materials. He was commissioned by General Zilong's brother and brought a letter from his family."

"Come on, come and have a look!" Gongsun Xu shouted sternly.

"This, I'm afraid this is not right?" The mule and horse merchant whimpered with embarrassment.

Gongsun Xu snorted coldly: "The Yuan thief is approaching the enemy. This is an extraordinary period. We have to be careful and strictly guarded. I believe that if General Zilong knows, he will definitely not be in a strange way. Come on and present the letter and let me see what he wrote?"

"Take it out!"

Without waiting for the merchant to say anything, several brave soldiers had already turned over and dismounted, pulled out a bright steel knife from their waists, and put it on the merchant's neck. They scolded him in a whisper. The merchant had no choice but to take out a paper from the package and hand it over to the soldiers, and then handed it to Gongsun Xu.

Gongsun Xu tore open the envelope without hesitation, shook the paper and looked at it.

The content in the first half of the content is about family matters. He also reminded Zhao Yun to take care of himself and serve General Gongsun loyally. If he unfortunately died in battle, his younger sister Zhao Zhi would have to pull him up and not worry about it. He said it loudly and passionately, and signed with "Brother Zhao Qi".

After reading this letter, Gongsun Xu suddenly became suspicious. Where did an ordinary citizen get such a literary talent? How could his tone be so generous? Logically speaking, since he is a brother, Zhao Qi should advise Zhao Yun to escape. Only by living a life is in line with the tone of being a brother. There must be something strange about this person!

"Come on, take this guy off and search your body!"

The merchant was shocked and argued with a bitter face: "The villain is wronged. I was really entrusted by General Zilong's brother to deliver a letter to him. General should not make things difficult for the villain..."

He was pressed to the ground by the soldiers, and searched all over his body for a while, but no suspicious items were found. He led the mule and horse over and searched in the saddle and bag, but still no suspicious items were found. He quickly came to the front of the horse to report: "General Qi reported that he did not find the suspicious items. Apart from dry food, there were some silver coins, nothing else!"

"Oh, is that?" Gongsun Xu's eyes turned, and he stared at the merchant with a skeptical look. After looking at him for a long time, he suddenly shouted: "Take off this guy's boots and check!"

"promise!"

The officers and soldiers had already taken the order, and pounced on them like wolves and tigers, and took off the merchant's boots without saying anything. After careful inspection, they found that there was a mezzanine in the middle, bulging, as if there was a foreign object hidden. When they opened it, they found that there was indeed a letter hidden in the middle, which was quickly presented to Gongsun Xu, who was on the horse, and asked him to review it.

"Young master is really wise and the villain doesn't understand. How did you see that there is something strange in the boots of this profiteer?" A lieutenant behind Gongsun Xu asked with a flattering look on his face.

Gongsun Xu opened the letter to check, and said proudly: "Since this guy claims to be from Changshan and travels five or six hundred miles, he must be full of dust. I see that his clothes are already quite dusty, but these boots are as clean as new. It is obvious that they have just been replaced. If you change the boots for no reason, there must be something strange about it!"

"Young master is really a vain!" Several followers praised him together.

"Oh... it's such a mistake, negligence!" After hearing Gongsun Xu's analysis, the merchant looked like dirt and regretted it, but it was too late.

After Gongsun Xu finished speaking, he ignored them and checked the letters. After reading them, he was shocked and angry. His face suddenly changed and he shouted, "Please detain this guy in prison, and the others will follow me to go home!"

He turned his horse's head and left first, then the horse's hooves sounded loudly, and dozens of horsemen headed straight for Gongsun's mansion.

If you want to talk about what was written on the letter in Gongsun Xu's hand, you have to start with Yuan Mai. Since Yuan Shao led an army of 110,000 to Yijing, Yuan Mai began to worry about Zhao Yun's safety. After discussing with his wife Zhao Zhi, he decided to ask Zhao Zhi to write a letter to his brother, and advised him to abandon Gongsun Zan and come to Hanoi to join his brother-in-law. Yuan Mai also knew that it would be absolutely not an easy task to get into the city after the war started, so he found a capable scout and explained the task.

The scout asked about Zhao Yun's situation, then thought of an excuse, claiming that he was entrusted by Brother Zhao Yun to deliver the letter. In order to avoid being searched for letters written by Mrs. Zhao to Zhao Yun at the gate, the scout hid the letter in his boots and wrote a letter in the tone of Brother Zhao Yun, so that he could get through the emergency. Unexpectedly, because of the hasty and lack of consideration, Gongsun Xu discovered something suspicious and found the flaw in the boots. He actually found the letters written by Zhao Zhi to his brother like a golden eye.

In Gongsun’s Mansion, the once energetic General Baima was drinking alone.

The deterioration of the situation made him depressed, his burly figure became hunched, his handsome face and beard were full of beards, and he looked very decadent. This brave and warlike general was really unwilling to accept it. He once competed with Yuan Shao. Why did the situation take a sharp turn for a few years, so that he only had an isolated city in his hand, Yi Jing?

"I don't accept it, I won't accept it even if I die!"

Gongsun Zan picked up the wine glass in his hand and drank it all, his eyes turned red, and he made a heavy breathing sound, like a beast in desperate situation.

"My father, it's not good for big things. The child has urgent matters to report!"

A burst of rapid footsteps went from far to near. Gongsun Xu, wearing armor, hung a long sword on his waist and walked quickly. Without waiting for a knock on the door, he broke into Gongsun Zan's secret room without authorization.

"Why are you panicking?" Gongsun Zan put down his wine glass and tried hard to look shocked. "How many times have you taught you to your father? As a general, you must have the demeanor of a general who collapses in front of you without changing color, and a deer who is rising from the side but not looking at you without looking at you. How can you be so chaotic? "

Gongsun Xu didn't bother to defend himself, so he took out a letter from his arms and placed it in front of Gongsun Zan. "Please take a closer look. Zhao Yun colluded with Yuan Shao's son Yuan Mai, and betrothed his sister to Yuan Shao's son as a concubine. He became Yuan Shao's eldest uncle. It was really angering! It was useless to trust his father in his trust. This guy actually did such a traitor. He asked his father to quickly order Zhao Yun to be arrested and beheaded to the public to serve as a warning!"

"Oh...is there actually something like this?"

Gongsun Zan frowned, his eyes flashing with chilling eyes. Even the injured beast would have the might of a king. He quickly browsed the letter, picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all again, and asked in a deep voice: "Where is this letter from? Could it be a plan of discord used by the Yuan family?"

"This was something I accidentally discovered while inspecting the city gate. The scout was sneaky and hid the private message in his boots with a Jizhou accent. If the child had not been careful, he would have been confused by him. I dare to conclude that this was definitely not a trap used by the Yuan family. It must be Zhao Yun's conspiracy to collude with the Yuan family. My father sent someone to arrest Zhao Yun and ask him to know!" Gongsun Xu argued with reason, looking as if he was convinced, and firmly believed that Zhao Yun was the rebel who colluded with the Yuan family.

After hearing his son's words, Gongsun Zan looked worried and pondered: "Zhao Yun followed me for many years, made many military achievements, and had a lot of prestige in the army. The war is imminent, and this matter is not careless. If Zhao Yun is wronged, he is afraid that the morale of the army will be unstable. He should quickly summon your second uncle and Tian Yu to come and discuss this matter!"

Not long after, Gongsun Zan's brothers Gongsun Fan and Tian Yu hurried over. After hearing the whole story of Gongsun Zan and his son, Tian Yu immediately stood up and spoke for Zhao Yun: "My lord, this matter must be a counter-attack strategy for the Yuan family. Never accuse Zilong. He has followed his lord for many years, and has been above Tian Yu. He is loyal and loyal, but he can tell the sun and the moon. I believe that the lord knows Zilong more than me, and must not fall into the Yuan thief's plan of alienating and cold the hearts of the soldiers of the three armies!"

"Just, you actually said that Zhao Yun is loyal?" Gongsun Xu immediately stood up to refute Tian Yu, "It is true that he followed his father for a long time, but he kept secretly mailing letters with Liu Bei, and he had long been disobedient. Lord Tian actually said that Zhao Yun was a loyal and righteous man, which was a huge joke!"

Gongsun Fan picked up the letter from the table and read it silently, pondering: "This matter should not be careless. You must check it clearly. You must not wrongly accuse Zhao Yun or indulge the traitors! If the letter is true, you must not keep the hidden danger of Zhao Yun and let him collude with the Yuan family inside and outside. If that happens, Yi Jing will not protect you day and night!"

Gongsun Xu said confidently: "The letters are here, which are physical evidence. The spy has been sent to the prison by me. He ordered someone to bring it up and ask for it clearly. People have all the evidence and physical evidence, so he cannot be allowed to deny him!"
