I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 409: The overall situation is important, Su Junhou takes office in Liaodong
Gongsun Ji was indeed angry.

It was not just because his speech was refuted in public by Wei You.

But also because I felt a sense of betrayal.

Yes, betrayal.

This Wei You was just a famous scholar from a humble family in Youbeiping.

He is able to stand here because Liu Yu specially recruited him as Cao Yuan.

Gongsun Ji once thought that this person was very sensible and was very protective of the interests of their Gongsun family.

In the past, whenever Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan had disagreements, he was the one who often resolved them.

Gongsun Ji thought this was an ally and a fellow villager.

We should all put the overall interests of Youzhou first.

However, who knew that this guy would actually speak so much for the outsider.

Indeed, Lord Su was indeed very capable and successfully rescued Gongsun Zan.

However, compared with the achievements of Lord Su, his infringement on the interests of the aristocratic families is even more shocking.

Gongsun Zan was somehow won over by them and helped persuade them to release the refugees and allow them to go to the frontier to cultivate land.

This is simply outrageous.

Although he did give some compensation, how can such symbolic things be compared with a living person?
You know, these people are honest people who are proficient in farming and are the best labor force.

If it weren't for the chaos in the world, they wouldn't have been able to get these high-quality laborers so easily.

How can you just let him go?
Therefore, recently several of their major families have been colluding with each other and confronting each other secretly. On the one hand, they pretended to obey, but on the other hand, they sent people symbolically, and on the other hand, they stepped up their efforts to persuade Liu Yu to stand up for them and uphold justice.

Now, this bastard Wei You, not only didn't agree with them, but he actually sat on the side of that outsider?
This is really unreasonable!

Could it be that he accepted benefits from that Su guy?
"Gongsun Congshi's words are wrong."

Wei You frowned and sighed inwardly at the questioning from his colleague.

How could he not know what was going on in these people's minds?

However, compared to those private schemes, he knew Liu Shijun's strengths and weaknesses better.

This envoy, who is seriously unbalanced in his academic performance and not good at military preparation, must have a warrior who is proficient in military affairs to work with him.

Therefore, in the past, when Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan had conflicts, he often spoke for Gongsun Zan.

And now, when he discovered that Lord Su was far superior to Gongsun Changshi, he would not blindly attack this person who could bring stability to Youzhou.

Then, Wei You bowed and said:
"Marquis Su was young, but he had made many remarkable achievements. He was awarded the title of Champion Marquis for his service to the king. His achievements are obvious to all."

"I am born in a humble family and am weak. I only regret that I cannot take up my sword and mount my horse to kill Hu Baomin. I am naturally fascinated by heroes like these."

"However, we, the officials appointed by the court, should put the overall situation first and should not sacrifice public interests for personal gain. What I said was not for them, but for the sake of our great Han country."

"Please understand, my Lord and all of you."

Gongsun Ji was left speechless by Wei You's words, his face changed slightly, but he couldn't get angry anymore, so he could only snort coldly and said no more.

Seeing this, Liu Yu coughed lightly and said to ease the atmosphere:
"Well, let's put this matter aside for now. Since Lord Su has made such a great contribution, we should give him our full support."

"However, Wuhuan Captain Xing Ju is also asking us for support, and we really don't have that much surplus food."

"Wei You, I'll leave it to you to arrange the personnel and supplies to send to Liaodong to support Lord Su."

"In addition, send capable people to Liaodong to investigate the military situation on the spot and ensure that the prisoners are properly settled. At the same time, express my condolences to Lord Su."

Wei You took the order and began to prepare supplies and personnel in full swing, while Liu Yu continued to discuss with everyone how to further consolidate Youzhou's border defense and deal with possible foreign threats.

Liu Yu had no more food left.

This time the support was likely to be rather weak and fail to achieve the effect that Su Yao wanted. However, a few days later, Wei You still led a fairly large support team on the road to Liaodong.

They brought carts of food, weapons, clothing, some medicine and other supplies to support Su Yao.

What is surprising is that there is actually a 200-man Bingzhou cavalry in this team!
These people were precisely the troops led by Song Xian and Guo Huai who came to support from Luoyang.

And when these people set off, Su Yao finally arrived in Liaodong.

"Liaodong, we're finally here!"

In the sixth year of Zhongping, at the beginning of January, Fang County.

This is a county town that is very special to Liaodong.

As we all know, the division between Liaodong and Liaoxi is based on the Liao River.

However, Fang County is an exception. Among the 17 counties in Liaodong, it is the only county located west of the Liaohe River.

At this moment, Su Yao and his group of more than ten people finally arrived here.

Yes, only a dozen people.

After winning the battle, Su Yao used the system map to repeatedly confirm that the Xianbei people had completely withdrawn from the vicinity of Pinggang Road and were unable to threaten his team. He then handed the escort mission to Lu Bu and Dian Wei and asked them to protect Tian Chou. He then took Cheng Lian, Zhao Yun, Qian Zhao, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and others and rode fast to Liaodong to take up their posts.

"Good fellow, I am a real good fellow."

"This trip, from the Central Plains to Liaodong, feels like it took quite a long time."

Su Yao stretched and couldn't help but sigh.

"Lord Su is absolutely right."

Liu Bei said:
"The Liaoxi Corridor has always been difficult to travel, and this time we encountered the Wuhuan rebellion and the Xianbei interception. If it weren't for Lord Su's quick victory over the enemy, I'm afraid we would still be inside the Lulong Pass."

Su Yao nodded:

“Now that the Liaoxi Corridor is open, travel should be much smoother in the future.”

"That's true."

Qian Zhao continued:
"But you know, my lord, that taking the Liaoxi Corridor is not the fastest way."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Su Yao was stunned, and immediately looked at the map, and then he suddenly realized:
"You mean by sea?"

"Your Excellency is right."

Qian Zhao nodded and said:
"In the past, due to the lack of Pinggang, the passage through the Liaoxi Corridor was actually always accompanied by danger."

"When Liaodong officials arrived at their posts, they mostly took the sea route, boarding ships from Beihai (now Weifang, Shandong) to Dashi (near Jinzhou District, Dalian). This distance was not only safe but also fast."

"But now that the Yellow Turbans are wreaking havoc in Qingzhou, this road is blocked."

"Qingzhou Yellow Turban?"

Su Yao immediately thought of the famous Yellow Turbans who eventually recovered Qingzhou from Cao Cao, and this was the time when they were actively developing.

However, all this has nothing to do with him now.

Su Yao waved his hand and said:
"Anyway, let's go into the city first."

"Take a good rest, and then learn about the situation here."

"Also, don't forget to not reveal our identities."

"My lord, are you going on a secret visit?" Liu Bei was greatly surprised.
