Zhao Country, Handan City.
It was one of the few famous cities in the Great Han Dynasty, and it had been ruled by the successive kings of Zhao.
This city was almost three times the size of the City Amongst the Clouds.
Moreover, it had a prosperous economy and a large population. It could be said to be the brightest pearl in the north of the Great Han Dynasty.
At this moment, a high-level meeting was being held in the Zhao Palace.
"What? Liu Sheng dares to reject my good intentions?”
Liu Sui was in his thirties, the prime of his life.
Therefore, after meeting the emissaries of the Wu and Chu countries, he had great ambitions.
Repairing armaments required a huge amount of money to support.
Although the State of Zhao was considered wealthy, maintaining an army of 50,000 was already at its limit.
Considering that the Wu and Chu countries could even mobilize more than 200,000 troops, he was not willing to fall behind.
That was why he had set his sights on Yun Tianchao.
He originally thought that Liu Sheng was just a child who would give in with a few words of intimidation.
Unexpectedly, the news that Li Da brought back disappointed him greatly.
"Your Majesty, rejecting business is a small matter. I'm worried that Yun Tianchao has other intentions!”
A trusted aide of the King of Zhao said worriedly.
The establishment of the Yuntian Dynasty was very strange. There were no signs before this.
The words about the prince guarding the country and the emperor dying for the country were enough to hear. No one present would take it seriously.
They had reason to suspect that this was a targeted arrangement made by the Imperial Court after sensing the secret movements of the State of Zhao.
Just like how the previous Emperor had appointed Liu Wu to guard Luoyang, the main purpose of the Cloud Heaven Dynasty was to monitor and contain the Zhao Country.
"Are you saying that the Emperor is preparing to attack me? Then what should we do?"
When Liu Sui heard this, he panicked.
The State of Zhao was not weak, but it was impossible for them to fight against the central government alone.
"Your Majesty, don't be alarmed. This is just a guess of mine. Without any evidence, the Imperial Court will not dare to act rashly.”
That person spoke with great confidence. The current situation in the court was one that could affect the whole situation.
Unless the imperial court was determined to go to war with the vassal kings, they would never dare to make a move against Zhao.
After all, the other lords were watching.
Everyone understood the principle of losing the lips, and no one wanted to be the next unlucky person.
"Then, let's just forget about it this time?”
Although Liu Sui was a little unwilling, he was not the kind of person who would not care about anything when he was hot-headed.
He would also consider the pros and cons. If the risks outweighed the gains, he would rather let the child be proud for the time being.
"We still have to fight, but we can't leave any evidence.”
"You mean the Hu?"
Liu Sui's eyes lit up.
The State of Zhao was connected to the grasslands, and he had a good relationship with the leaders of the surrounding tribes.
In the early days, the exchanges between the two sides were limited to the commercial level. The Han merchants exchanged weapons and silks for warhorses on the grasslands, which could be considered mutually beneficial.
Even if there was friction between the Han and Xiongnu, it would not affect the normal business dealings.
It was only when Liu Sui had the thought of rebelling that the relationship between the two sides immediately began to heat up.
Liu Sui wanted to gain the support of the Xiongnu people, and the Xiongnu people also wanted to insert a nail into the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, both sides hit it off. The Xiongnu even took the initiative to help him train a cavalry unit.
"That's right. This is to defend the dignity of the king and to weaken the strength of the Heavenly Cloud Dynasty.”
"My dear minister, your words are in line with my wishes. I will leave this matter to you to handle.”
"See, I won't disappoint the king!"
Thus, a scene of a monarch and his subjects getting along well with each other appeared in the hall, and everyone was pointing their fingers at the country.
……
Yunzhong City, the prefect's mansion.
Liu Sheng looked at the reward in his hand and thought for a moment before using it.
"Ding! The famous historical general, Zhao Yun, has joined the host. Please check and accept!”
Hearing the system's voice, he could not help but exclaim in surprise,"F * ck, the reward this time is too awesome!”
Zhao Yun, this was a military general who could be ranked in the top ten even during the Three Kingdoms period, when there were crouching tigers and hidden dragons!
Thousands of soldiers fled to Changban, Zhao Zilong.
The thought of such an awesome general joining his army made Liu Sheng so excited that he couldn't control himself.
However, how was he supposed to check it?
The system didn't explain it clearly. Bad review!
"Your Majesty, the leader of the White Horse Tribe, Zhao He, requests an audience.”
Chen Shi asked from outside the door.
"Let him in!"
Liu Sheng's mind was filled with Zhao Yun's matter, so he casually replied.
Soon, Zhao He walked into the room and bowed.
"I, Zhao He, pay my respects to my lord!"
Unlike the others, the White Horse Tribe did not regard themselves as Han officials.
They only respected Liu Sheng as their lord, and because of this, they were even criticized by the people around them.
"What's the matter?"
" I have a nephew who is now an adult. He has the courage of ten thousand men and is willing to serve my lord…"
Before Zhao He could finish, Liu Sheng interrupted him,"Is your nephew called Zhao Yun?"
For some reason, he had the illusion that he was playing the Three Kingdoms in his previous life.
At that time, he would often see game notifications that someone had already reached adulthood and was willing to follow his lord.
The system's actions were really…awesome!
"Yes, sir!"
Zhao He's eyes were filled with shock, and he looked confused.
He did not know why his lord was able to call out his nephew's name.
Liu Sheng did not explain. He pulled the other party out of the prefect's manor and headed straight for the White Horse encampment.
Zhao He, Zhao Yun, White Horse Yi Cong.
On the way, Liu Sheng thought about the relationship between these three, and he could not help but show a little frustration.
He should have guessed long ago that the system would not suddenly produce a living person.
Then the White Horse Tribe was the best source.
He just didn't know if Zhao Yun would still exist without the system's reward.
Or perhaps there was such a person who might not be willing to help him?
Thinking of this, Liu Sheng suddenly asked Zhao He beside him,"I wonder if there are any more people called Zhao Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhao Guang, and Zhao Tong in your division?”
"Huh?"
Zhao He was stunned by the question, his face full of confusion.
"Hehe, I was just joking. There's no need to take it to heart.”
Although that was what he said, Liu Sheng's regretful expression did not seem like he was joking.
Zhao He could only watch silently.
