Liu Hong had known about Zhao Yun's sworn brotherhood with Zhang Liao and others for a long time.

Taking this opportunity, he also wanted to see what this formidable man who had broken through 100,000 with only 800 was really like.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Yun respectfully agreed, and then waved to Zhang Liao, Zhang He, and Yang Yan, who were not far away.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Liao and his two companions felt a pang of anxiety and quickly approached.

The three were about to bow when Liu Hong raised his hand to stop them: "No need for formalities, sit down!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Liao and the others agreed and then carefully sat down opposite Liu Hong.

Zhao Yun, who was standing nearby, stepped forward, pointed to Zhang Liao, and introduced him: "Your Majesty, this is my second brother, named Zhang Liao, courtesy name Wenyuan, from Yanmen Commandery!"

"Hmm, good, not bad, what a dashing young man!"

Liu Hong looked at Zhang Liao, who had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a ruddy complexion, with a smile and couldn't help but praise him.

No wonder Zhang Liao, who served under Lü Bu in history, was able to befriend the proud Lü Bu; it turns out the two had similar facial features.

Thinking of all this, Liu Hong couldn't help but chuckle to himself, and then, following Zhao Yun's introduction, turned his gaze to Yang Yan.

Looking at Yang Yan, who was of Qiang ethnicity, Liu Hong asked with a smile, "How are your people doing in Jincheng now?"

"Thanks to Your Majesty, my family is doing very well. Not only do we have plenty to eat and drink, but we also have a surplus every year. The local officials and soldiers treat us like family..."

Yang Yan suppressed his excitement and explained the situation of the Qiang people in Jincheng to Liu Hong in detail.

"Okay, as long as you're doing well."

Liu Hong smiled and nodded, then changed the subject, "However, you must not forget those other peoples outside the Han Dynasty who are still living in dire straits."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, rescuing my suffering people is my lifelong wish, and I will never forget it!" Yang Yan said resolutely.
