Chapter 500: Changshan Zhao Bohu

After Xu Shu's introduction, Guan Yu, Mi Zhu, Xu Chu and others confirmed the identity of the man in the conference room.

Just as they thought, this man was the messenger of the Montenegrin Army and the right-hand man of Zhang Niujiao, the commander of the Montenegrin Army.

As for why this person is on pins and needles
From Xu Shu's tone, it was not difficult for Guan Yu to tell that Huang Zhong's pressure was too strong.

Then why did he immediately surrender when he saw Guan Yu?
Guan Yu didn't need Xu Shu to remind him of this, he could figure out the reason by himself.

Through verbal communication, Guan Yu was somewhat amused and helpless.

The reason why this man said those words in a hurry was the same: Huang Zhong felt too much oppression.

He seemed easy-going, ranked higher than Huang Zhong, and never made things difficult for the people. In order to ensure safety, they told him their purpose as soon as possible.

Guan Yu could not help but look at Huang Zhong. Seeing Huang Zhong's serious face, he raised the corner of his mouth and found it funny. He wanted to say: General Huang, you really look too majestic.

Guan Yu took a look, then retracted his gaze and comforted the man, "As long as you haven't done anything to harm the people and you're not a treacherous or evil person, General Huang will naturally not take action against you, so don't panic."

As soon as Guan Yu finished speaking, Huang Zhong nodded in agreement, and the man felt much more at ease.

The subsequent negotiations went very smoothly. Xu Shu smiled, but his voice became colder and colder. "Building roads is the root of prosperity that General Wei has repeatedly mentioned. I see that the Black Mountain Army is hardworking and good at climbing mountains. Why not hire the Black Mountain Army to build roads?"

As soon as the words "open mountains and create land" came out, the Black Mountain Army envoy suddenly became anxious.

It turned out that if they surrendered voluntarily, not only would they not gain any benefits, but they would be forced to do forced labor.

This scholar with feather fan and long turban is so vicious! This man must be the vicious scholar Jia Xu!

Xu Shu naturally saw the concerns of the Black Mountain Army envoy, and he hinted to Guan Yu with his eyes.

Guan Yu understood what was going on. He was being asked to play the good guy. Acting? He was good at it!
Everyone present was surprised, but soon understood Xu Shu's intention.

Only Xu Chu was confused. That was not right. Why didn't Xu Junshi explain it clearly? Opening mountains and building roads was different from corvée labor. It was indeed more tiring, but the money and grain were more than digging for food in the fields! Moreover, it was far less strict than corvée labor. There were even officials to supervise the implementation of money and grain.
Guan Yu suddenly stood up, and his agility really scared the Black Mountain Army envoy.

However, as Guan Yu raised his eyebrows, the Black Mountain Army envoys realized that Guan Yu was refuting this "Jia Xu" for them.

As Guan Yu and Xu Shu talked back and forth, the Black Mountain Army envoys finally figured out the "benefits" that Guan Yu had fought for them.

The Montenegrin envoy opened his eyes wide and stretched his mouth so wide that it could fit several eggs.

What did he hear?
First of all, it was not forced, and secondly, not only was there enough money and food, but also three meals a day. Even if someone died, they would be given extra money and their daily money and food would be sent back home.
As for how much truth and how much falsehood there are in these words.
Even if you can't trust Jia Xu, you have to trust General Guan and General Wei!

However, to the surprise of the Black Mountain Army envoy, after he expressed his position, Guan Yu actually invited him to visit Liyang to advocate the road construction issue in the court, which made the Black Mountain Army envoy grateful.

It made his legs bend. If Guan Yu had not been quick to support him immediately, he would have really knelt down in front of Guan Yu.

Seeing this, Mi Zhu nodded slightly, while Xu Chu frowned. The money and grain were much higher than those of other people who built roads, but it was not easy to open mountains and build roads. Compared with building official roads, this kind of money and grain was reasonable. For the people, it was much better than corvée labor. I can understand being happy, but as for crying so hard, she almost regarded the two generals as her father and brother.
Yes. Did Military Advisor Xu do this on purpose?!
Xu Chu couldn't help but think of Guan Yu and Xu Shu who had just confronted each other. Thinking of their acting skills, he suddenly felt that Xu Shu was worthy of his reputation. In terms of wisdom, he was far inferior to Xu Shu.
A few days later, Guan Yu sent away the Black Mountain Army envoy who had witnessed the construction of the official road with his own eyes.

He, Mi Zhu, Xu Chu and others also stayed in Changshan County, thoroughly investigating the local tyrants and evildoers in Changshan County, while preparing to take over the Black Mountain Army.

"Brother Bo Hu, you have been working really hard these days." Guan Yu stroked his beard and looked at the man in front of him. The man was eight feet tall, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. Due to years of running around outside, his face looked a little dark, but it also added a bit of toughness.

The most important thing is that this person's appearance made Guan Yu feel a little dazed. Apart from his temperament, he and Zhao Yun were exactly the same!

When Guan Yu saw this man, he immediately remembered what Zhao Yun had said before. Brother, Zhao Yun has a brother!
After a careful investigation, it turned out that this person was Zhao Yun's elder brother, whose surname was Zhao, name was Feng, and courtesy name was Bohu.

If things had developed as they were supposed to, Zhao Feng would probably be dead by now.

Fortunately, over the years Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing have continuously innovated in their research on medical skills and trained doctors.

It might still be a long way to diagnose diseases for the people of the Han Dynasty, but curing Zhao Feng's hidden disease was not a difficult task.

Zhao Yun once asked Hua Tuo's disciples to diagnose Zhao Feng, and he indeed diagnosed the hidden illness.

After treatment, Zhao Feng is now healthy.

Zhao Feng smiled naively, "Second General, this is my job, I have never done anything. If it weren't for the Second General's capture of Ye City, I would have to hide from place to place, how could I have been reinstated? Second General, I feel guilty for what you said."

"Alas." Guan Yu shook his head. "Brother Bohu, what do you mean by unworthy? I regard Zilong as my own brother. According to age, I should call Brother Bohu my elder brother!"

"This"

Zhao Feng couldn't help but feel dazed, it seemed like it was just yesterday when Zhao Yun said he wanted to pursue true benevolent rule.

Zhao Feng naturally supported Zhao Yun's ambition with both hands.

However, since the elder brother is like a father to him, Zhao Feng is always worried about Zhao Yun's safety.

When he learned that Zhao Yun had been promoted to the position of Minister of Agriculture, his first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief, followed by joy.

After meeting Guan Yu, Zhao Feng finally felt relieved.

Through Guan Yu's love for the people, Zhao Feng was able to determine and affirm that his younger brother had realized his ambitions and truly found the place of benevolent governance.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but all his words were summed up in one sentence: This kid is really good, he is worthy of being someone's brother, good, really good.

Guan Yu and Zhao Feng were discussing some matters when their conversation was interrupted by a quick-footed guard.

After hearing the guard's words, Guan Yu had to temporarily stop communicating with Zhao Feng.

Because serious business is coming.

Guan Yu looked at Zhao Feng apologetically, "Brother Bo Hu, I have something important to tell you. First, the Black Mountain Army has surrendered, and second, my third brother is here."

As he was talking, Guan Yu suddenly thought of something. He looked at Zhao Feng and extended his hand to invite him: "Brother Bo Hu, do you want to go with me?"
