【Now. Yanzhong meets Cheng Yu. When asked about Cheng Yu's origin, Yu smiled and said, "I heard that you have repeatedly defeated thieves, and I admire you so much that I came here to pay you a visit." Yan Zhong asked, "How do you feel about Zhongde now that you have seen him?" Yu replied, "Yes. What a hero!" After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled. 】
[After that, Yan Zhong ordered people to hold a banquet and have a long talk with Cheng Yu. During the dinner, the two talked about the outstanding men in the world. Yanzhong asked Cheng Yu: "I heard that Liu Gongshan of Yanzhou (Liu Dai's nickname is Gongshan) conquered you many times, but he refused to obey. I don't know why?" Yu did not answer and replied. Asked Yanzhong: "Who do you think Liu Gongshan is?" Yanzhong said: "Liu Gongshan is a member of the Han Dynasty clan. He has always been talented and famous at home. He is a famous official of his generation!" Yu smiled and said: "What you said makes sense." Yanzhong said Zhongke was puzzled and said: "In that case, why should Zhongde not respond?" Cheng Yu said with a smile: "Although Liu Gongshan is filial, kind, benevolent and forgiving, and accepts others in vain, he can only be a friend, not a master!"]
[Yan Zhong nodded slightly and then asked: "What do you think Zhongde thinks of the Lord? I am willing to listen."]
[Cheng Yu replied: "Anyone who understands the Lord must be wise and wise beyond the world. He is concerned about the danger of the country and the bitterness of the people. He leads the righteous soldiers to kill moths and thieves in the world. He has high merit and broad virtues, so he is an Ming Lord!" ”]
[When Yan Zhong heard this, he smiled and said: "I heard what Mr. Wen said, could it be that he is just a subordinate?"]
[Cheng Yu also raised his hands and said: "If you really do this, it will be a blessing to the people in the river!"]
[Yan Zhong immediately stood up, gave a deep gift, and said: "My ambitions coincide with those of my husband. I hope that my husband will not give up his humble position, condescend to me, and help me. If so, I can't thank you enough!"]
[Cheng Yu smiled and said: "Since you have given orders, you should obey them. However, Yu and I met you by chance and did not dare to ask for a big deal. I would like to go with you to the river to enjoy the scenery. I hope you will do it!" After that, , Yu stood up and bowed deeply, his face sincere. 】
[When Yan Zhong heard this, he immediately held up his hands and said, "Ke is an ordinary man. If you can give orders from ear to ear and make Ke consult him day and night, that will be enough for his whole life!" After that, he asked his soldiers to set up a tent for Cheng Yu to rest. 】
[From that day on, Yan Zhong treated Cheng Yu very well. Whenever he came in and out, he would share the same table and bed with Cheng Yu. He would treat him as a teacher and treat him with courtesy. They would discuss the affairs of the world together all day long, and their relationship would become deeper and deeper. 】
[Not a day later, Yan Zhong and others arrived at the foot of Hejian City. Liu Bei, the king of Hejian, went out to meet him personally. 】
[Yanzhong saw that the King of Hejian was thin, so he immediately got off his horse and bowed to the ground. The king of Hejian supported him with his own hands and said: "I have heard about the general's reputation for a long time. Now that he is here in Hejian, it is a blessing for the people!"]
[Yan Zhong also replied: "The courtesy and corporal of the King of Hejian is our blessing. The current situation is turbulent, and we should do our best to keep the peace of the country in Hejian."]
[Liu Ye was overjoyed when he heard this, so he invited Yan Zhong into the city and held a banquet in his honor. 】
[During the banquet, all the ministers of the Hejian Kingdom came to pay homage to the Prime Minister of Hejian. Yanzhong had a large amount of wine, and he drank the wine as soon as it reached the cup, and all the officials were surprised. 】
【Drink to your heart’s content. Yanzhong looked sideways and saw that the general in the hall had a sad look on his face. He was drinking his own wine but did not come to propose a toast, so he asked: "This general, doesn't he know his surname?"]
[The general raised his head and said: "This general is humble and is no more than a gatekeeper. He should not be asked by the Prime Minister."]
[When colleagues on the side saw this, they hurriedly called Yan Zhong and said: "Don't be upset, Prime Minister. This man is the gate captain of Hejian City. His surname is Zhang Minghe and his courtesy name is Junyi." At this point, his colleagues turned to Zhang He and said: " Junyi, this is a national honor, why don’t you come and salute?”]
[Zhang He sneered and said: "He naturally knows the name of the Prime Minister. However, He doesn't believe in the achievements of the Prime Minister. He still asks the Prime Minister for advice." Yan Zhong smiled and said: "I don't know how Jun Yi can explain it?" Zhang He said Said: "He Su heard that the children of the aristocratic family often chased the children of a certain poor family to kill them, but the merits they made were attributed to themselves. I don't know if the merits of the country's prime minister can be obtained in this way."]
[As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. 】
[Liu Ye, the king of Hejian, secretly cursed Zhang He and said: "Zhang He is a man of considerable physical strength, so he is considered a city gate captain. However, if he offends the prime minister now, he will suffer his consequences in the future. It is better to expel him in the name of the prime minister of the country." 】
【at the same time. 】
[Zhang He also consciously made a mistake and complained secretly, thinking in his heart: "I just took advantage of the drunkenness and rashly made a mistake. If I live in the river in the future, I will be punished by the Prime Minister of the country. I will go immediately! I heard that Han Fu in Jizhou is recruiting troops, so I will join him." Thinking of this, Zhang He got up while drunk and walked out of the hall. 】
[Unexpectedly, at this moment, Shi Huan stood beside Yan Zhong with his sword in front of Zhang He, and said loudly: "Zhang Junyi! You insulted my lord, and you still want to walk away?"]
[Zhang He also drew his sword in his hand, and said coldly: "Rat, how dare you draw your sword in front of a certain family?"]
[Shi Huan said: "You insulted my lord and wished you could kill him with one sword. Now you just draw your sword, so why be afraid!"]
[When Zhang He heard this, his face showed admiration, and he said: "Since you have drawn your sword, do you dare to fight?"]
[Shi Huan said: "Why don't you dare? I'm on the same level as you!"]
[That’s it. Yanzhong also put his hands on his hands and laughed, and said to Zhang He: "Junyi is fierce and heroic, so he must have extraordinary skills. We are new here and want to meet the heroes in the river. I wonder if Junyi can give me some advice?"]
[Zhang He said proudly: "You should try your best!"]
[Yan Zhong asked: "I wonder how Jun Yi wants to compare the law? Literary fight, or military fight?"]
[Zhang He said: "Nowadays, the Yellow Turbans are causing chaos, foreign tribes are plundering, and thieves are on the rise. It is the time when the generals are making great achievements. How can they dance with words? Of course it is a fight with force!"]
[Yan Zhong asked again: "So, I wonder what Jun Yi will compete in? Horse fighting? Foot fighting? Or bow and arrow?"]
[Zhang He said: "Let's try horse fighting!"]
[Yan Zhong said: "Okay! In that case, how about a competition tomorrow?"]
[Zhang He said: "I will be in the university grounds tomorrow, and I am about to see the Prime Minister's methods!"]
[Liu Ye, the king of Hejian, saw this and said with a smile: "In that case, everyone should take a rest and wait until tomorrow at the university grounds to see how we can conquer the enemy!"]
[When everyone heard this, they all bowed and retreated. 】
【That night. Yanzhong summoned Cheng Yu, Shi Huan, Li Tong, Cheng Pu and others to discuss matters. 】
[Cheng Yu knew that Yanzhong wanted to subdue fierce tigers like Zhang He, so he said to the generals: "I heard that Zhang Junyi is very skilled in martial arts. In the battle tomorrow, you should be more careful!" When the generals heard this, they were not angry and secretly vowed to take him. Zhang and He were sent down to repay Yanzhong for his kindness. 】
【Until the next day. 】
[Inside the Hejian City University campus. 】
[Liu Bei, the king of Hejian, sounded the drum to gather his troops. Zhang He then put on his armor, mounted his horse, and came to kill him. He shouted: "Do you, the generals under the Prime Minister, dare to come to fight?"]
[As soon as these words came out, Shi Huan, who was behind Yan Zhong, was annoyed. He immediately mounted his horse and raised his sword, and went straight to attack Zhang He without saying a word. He didn't say much, he came waving his horse and wielding his sword, and fought with Shi Huan until thirty rounds, with no winner or loser. 】
[Yan Zhong saw him outside the formation and couldn't help but secretly marveled. 】
【at the same time. 】
[Li Tong saw that Shi Huansheng was unable to move, so he raised his spear, mounted his horse, and jumped out to engage in the battle. 】
[Zhang He then abandoned Shi Huan, turned around, and fought Li Tong with all his strength. After twenty more fights, there was no result, and it was difficult to tell who was better. 】
