For a moment, the hall became lively. The woman of Yingying and Yanyan chuckled and said in detail. She dragged her long skirt and walked into the hall. The musician also followed her to the back of the seat and took out their respective instruments. When the sound of silk and bamboo gradually sounded, under the eaves of the rain curtain, Gongsun Zhi's figure arrived in a blink of an eye and strided across the threshold. Sima Yi, Gongsun Xu, and Dian Wei followed closely behind. Hundreds of wolf riders stood in the rain like sword sculptures. More than a dozen others guarded the door of the hall.

In the hall, everyone looked over.

"Governor Gongsun, Kuang Jiuwen's reputation!" Wang Kuang's fat face shook slightly, and then he squeezed out a smile, "...Hurry... Come on the seat quickly, the meal is ready."

The tall figure approached with a cold face, walked straight through the middle of a group of women with orioles, reached out to take off the wet cloak, threw it to the maid in the hall that came up, walked into the table, grabbed a cup of warm wine and poured it into his mouth, and then waved his hand to let the three people who followed him sit. Gongsun Zhi's eyes just looked at the figure sitting like a ball on the first person.

"Premier Wang is afraid he doesn't want to see me, right?"

"How dare you..." Wang Kuang smiled on his face, bowed his hand, then lowered it to both sides of his thighs, took a breath, and straightened his chest, "The governor is famous in the north, and he promotes my Chinese reputation. Kuang also admires him in the Central Plains. I remember that back then, I participated in the fight against Dong and led soldiers to kill people. When the plasma was spewed out... it was very... scary. Kuang didn't want to see him again for the second time in his life."

The generals who followed the hall frowned. Gongsun Zhi waved his hand. Dian Wei nodded and understood. He stood up and drove the singing girls who were dancing and playing music out of here. Wang Kuang's eyelids suddenly jumped a few times and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

The hall has quieted down.

In the seat below, Gongsun Zhi spoke in a plain voice: "I have always been direct. There are two things to see the prefect today." He stretched out a finger, "The first thing is that Yuan Shao of Jizhou attacked Shangdang County. I want to take some supplies and rest in Hanoi. From here, I can go straight to Lucao Mountain?"

"......Huh?" Wang Kuang's thick lips trembled slightly, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he waved his hand generously: "This is not a matter. The governor will come whenever he wants, and leave whenever he wants. Just think of your own home. Don't be too polite."

"The prefect is grand!"

A drop of cold sweat had already rolled down from the fat body and forehead. He raised his hand to wipe it, lowered his head and muttered in a low voice: "...Do I dare say no..."

"There is no need for one thing." The wine was filled, Gongsun Zhi took another sip, and looked at him with cold eyes, "The second thing is that the young man beside me, named Sima Yi, is the only living person in the Sima family in Wen County. Come over and ask the prefect, was the bandits committed the murderer in Hanoi County?"

"This...this..." The words above stuttered a little.

In the seat next to Gongsun Zhi, the young man got up with red eyes and walked to the middle and bowed: "Please also ask the prefect to tell Yi where the bandits entered my house and killed my relatives."

"Oh... how do I tell you." Wang Kuang spread his hands, his eyes inadvertently contacted Gongsun Zhi's eyes, and his heart was naturally bright. "I don't know very well what the situation was like that day. Since I challenged Dong, I have been living in Hanoi. After that, I sent troops to intercept the group of people overnight. Unfortunately, after my general Fang Yue died, no one was good at fighting. When I went out, I was beaten by the other party and couldn't find the north... However, my previous experience was that it was the work of the bandits in Taihang. The bandits hiding in the mountains were not known to you, young men. In the past, they also went down the mountain to rob. In winter, all human nature was lost. Anything they saw was robbed, and killing people was light."

Sima Yi was red and did not speak. Seeing that he was sad, Wang Kuang stood up and patted his shoulder, dragged his round body and walked back and forth a few steps, shook his head: "Don't be depressed, although Taihang is vast, it's not a haystack, and those bandits should still be in the mountains."

"The blood sea is full of hatred, and one day I will find them out."

"Well, it's best to think so."

After these conversations, Sima Yi was unable to continue talking for the time being. Wang Kuang returned with a smile, sat down with relief, and raised his glass: "The matter has been said, so the governor should have this glass of wine with Kuang, right?"

"Please!" Gongsun Zhi also raised the wine cup.

Just as several people in the mansion were drinking and eating, a messenger from afar rushed into the mansion in the rain, handed a letter to the guards, and then turned to the hall, Wang Kuang quickly winked and waved: "Let the governor look first."

Originally wanted to refuse, but inadvertently, Gongsun Zhi glanced at the words Yuzhou exposed on Subo. He was not polite at the moment, and reached out to take it and opened it. He glanced over and looked over, and his face darkened. He raised his eyes and looked at Li Ke: "Immediately notify Yan Rou that they will change their established plans and will not attack Jizhou anymore. Let them take their troops and Bingzhou cavalry directly to Shangdang to station."

Immediately, I stood up and grabbed the cloak stacked in the servant's hand, spread it on my shoulders, and walked out with great strides, "The rest of them followed me to return to Xudu, Yuzhou."

"No more attacking Yuan Shao?"

Gongsun Xu and Dian Wei looked at each other, hurriedly chased after each other, strode into the rain, turning back, his voice cold: "If you don't attack, it won't take long, Yuan Shao will retreat. A plague in Yuzhou is spreading towards Yanzhou... Now it is midsummer, and once it spreads across the Yellow River, Jizhou will not be able to protect itself."

After saying this, the wind and rain slammed on his face, and Dian Wei and others were all shocked. The word "plague" is like a terrifying nightmare, making people feel scared. In such an era of serious lack of medical care, let alone vaccines, if the infection is opened, it will be an inestimable number of deaths.

"...Our cavalry can't take this risk, so they all went to Shangdang County to station. I only brought one or two hundred cavalry back to Xudu. Who would like to go with me?"

Outside the city, when he returned to the temporary camp, Gongsun Zhi looked at the generals who were rushing to come and spoke like this.

At this time, in Ye County, southern Yuzhou, the scorching sun burned the earth, and pedestrians rushed by the streets, and most of the households closed their doors and windows. Many hungry and skinny bodies fell on the road, with pale faces and no breath. The soldiers who restrained their bodies worked together to drag the forks to the chariot onto the shaft.

Cao Ang, Wu Anguo and Yunniang walked on the foothills outside the field, looking at the flat fields in the distance. The dense refugees were constantly moving in all directions. From time to time, people fell down as they walked. Rotten corpses could be seen everywhere on the grass, woods, and river banks.
