When Lu Bu returned to his mansion, he was so angry that he smashed everything he could. Wang Chang stood by Lu Bu's side silently until Lu Bu finished venting his anger and said viciously: "Sir, please don't be angry. Just do everything according to the plan. Yang Xuanmo is nothing but scabies. The main thing now is to paralyze Zhang Yi and then take the opportunity to get rid of him. By then, who else in Bingzhou can be in charge of this state except you, Marquis Duting."
"Brother Wen Shu, the sight of Yang Xuanmo made me angry. Now the number of his Shanshan Army has reached 15,000. Why don't you make me angry? I only have 10,000 wolf riders, and he has There are five thousand more soldiers than I have. I'm worried." Lu Bu said anxiously.
"Master Registrar, don't worry. We originally planned to use Bingzhou Mu's annual border patrol to assassinate Bingzhou Mu Zhang Yi and put the blame on the barbarians. After Zhang Yi was eliminated, most of the new Bingzhou governors were literati. Then the whole Bingzhou will be yours. Hahahaha..." Wang Chang said confidently.
"Although Yang Xuanmo was appointed the Great Protector of Anbei by the current Holy Emperor and was in charge of matters in the North, he was not given the right to override the chief officer of Bingzhou, so there is nothing to be afraid of. My Wang family has been on good terms with the Liu family of the Southern Xiongnu for generations. In the first month of the year, Bingzhou shepherd Zhang Yi is about to start patrolling the border. If you complain that you are sick, Zhang Yi will definitely appoint Yang Xuanmo to accompany you. Then he will send people to get rid of you together, and everything will be fine."
Lu Bu gritted his teeth and said, "Let this kid live a few more days, and I'll worry about Wen Shuduo worrying about contacting the Southern Huns."
Wang Chang nodded and said goodbye and returned to his mansion.
In the quiet palace in the middle of the night, only the back hall was lit, and the two main seats in the back hall, Wang Chang and Wang Qiu, sat opposite each other.
Wang Qiu spoke first: "Wen Shu, you have a big plan this time. That reckless man is not a good person. I think it's better to slow down."
"Brother, don't worry. Lu Bu is a hungry wolf. Although he is ferocious, he is simple-minded and should not be feared. If we, the Wang family of Jinyang, want to have a foothold in the future when the world changes, we must capture Bingzhou. After assassinating Zhang Yi, the shepherd of Bingzhou, we will With the prestige and connections of my Wang family, Bingzhou is just around the corner. Cousin Wang Yun is secretly attached to the scholar leader Taifu Yuan Kui in the court, and is openly recruited by the general to serve as Yin of Henan. It is easy to win the official position of Bingzhou governor for us. Don't be too much. Concerned."
Wang Qiu also thought this was the case, and the two brothers discussed it for a while and then left.
The lights were also bright in the commander's tent of the camp in Bingzhou South Teaching Field. Sima Jia Kui of the Shanshan Army, Gao Shun of the Infantry Army, Yu Wen Chengdu, and Pang De were sitting around the sumptuous banquet, discussing all the matters of today.
Yang Xuanmo touched his chin and said to Jia Kui: "Liang Dao, who is this Wang Chang?"
"Wang Chang, also known as Wenshu, is a direct descendant of the Wang family in Jinyang. He is the brother of Wang Qiu, the governor of Bingzhou. He is quick-witted and good at planning. He and Wang Ling of Qixian County are known as the twin heroes of the Wang family. They are also quite powerful in the court. , Henan Yin, Wang Yun, the governor of Yuzhou, is his cousin and has won the trust of General He Jin and Grand Tutor Yuan Wei. He often regards himself as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty and is very arrogant." Jia Kui said seriously.
"According to what you said, how could the Wang family of Taiyuan, who belongs to a scholar-bureaucrat family, befriend a bastard like Lu Bu? Lu Bu is an ambitious guy at best, so there must be something weird here."
"What my lord said makes sense. The scholar class has always looked down upon everyone except them. I, Yuwen Chengdu, look down on these eggless guys the most."
Pang De and Gao Shun also nodded in agreement.
Jia Kui thought thoughtfully and said: "Wang Chang's actions are indeed questionable. We now only have two thousand infantry, and everything must be dealt with carefully. It will soon be the day when Zhang Yi, the shepherd of Bingzhou, patrols the border. Don't let anything big happen." "
One month later, Bingzhou Mufu Yamen, Bingzhou Mufu Zhang Yi sat in the lobby and said to his officials: "The annual border patrol is about to begin again. Every year, Chief Lu leads people to escort me. This year Master Lu cannot accompany him due to health reasons. It seems that it would be troublesome for our Protector Yang Xuanmo to protect my safety. Protector Yang, what do you think?"
Yang Xuanmo stepped out of the queue, clasped his fists and raised his hands, saying: "It is a humble honor to be able to protect Mr. Zhang, but I only have two thousand infantry under my command, so I'm afraid I don't have enough manpower."
Zhang Yi waved his hand and said: "Don't be anxious, Yang Duhu. I know that your acceptance is not too much, so I specially sent Zhang Liao, the governor of the north, to lead three thousand troops to accompany him for protection. It just so happens that you and Wen Yuan have not seen each other for a long time, so I would like to take advantage of this opportunity." Stay close and close to each other. The reputation of Protector Yang is now rivaling that of our Jiuyuan Tiger. It can be said that he is a powerful foreigner in the north. My safety depends on Protector Yang."
The Bingzhou herdsman patrolling the border was, firstly, on behalf of the imperial court to express condolences to all the nomadic peoples who had surrendered, and secondly, to demonstrate the magnanimity of the heavenly state. The annual inspection route starts from Jinyang and then goes to Dai County via Yanmen County to Dai County, passes Dai County to Dingxiang County, passes Dingxiang County to Yunzhong County, and then goes from Yunzhong County to Wuyuan County and Shuofang County. Xihe County, return to Jinyang.
Zhang Liao, the governor of the north, rushed to Jinyang City on the third day after receiving the order from Bingzhou Mu. He led a thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry. Stationed and competed in the east of Bingzhou.
Three days later, on the third day of September in the first year of the Photosynthetic Period, Bingzhou Mu led Northern Governor Zhang Liao and Anbei Grand Protector Yang Xuanmo and led 5,000 troops to start a border patrol. Their first stop was Yanmen County.
Zhang Liao and Yang Xuanmo walked together, Zhang Liao said: "We have been separated for several months, but I didn't expect Brother Yang to become famous. It's really a surprise to see each other after three days apart."
Yang Xuanmo smiled and said to Zhang Liao: "Things in the world have changed a lot. I remember when Wen Yuan and I first met, I was just a young man who yearned for the world. Unexpectedly, I was forced to join the army in Jinyang, the first stop of my travels. Unexpectedly, I got out of hand and ended up serving as the Protector of Anbei. The opportunities in life are really amazing. I always feel that Brother Wenyuan and I are destined to be together one day in the future."
"Thank you for your support. Aren't we working together now? I admire Brother Yang's long-term vision of things. As you expected, the Southern Huns attacked Jinyang. If Brother Yang hadn't guarded Jinyang City, I'm afraid Jinyang would have Turned into ruins." Zhang Liao said sincerely.
Yang Xuanmo said calmly: "It was just a little effort. In the end, it was not by relying on Wenyuan's ingenious plan to retreat the enemy that we narrowly defeated the Southern Xiongnu."
"I just hope that our border patrol can end safely. I always have an ominous feeling that something big will happen during this border patrol."
Zhang Liao also said: "I hope everything goes well."
Bingzhou Mu's chariot was guarded by 300 personal guards from the Prefectural Mufu. The leader was named Cui Yong, who was Zhang Yi's family general. He was said to be brave enough for thousands of people. He wielded an iron square branch weighing forty kilograms and more than ten dozen. The strong man couldn't get close to him and was loyal to Zhang Yi. This Cui Yong respected both Zhang Liao and Yang Xuanmo. There are two reasons: First, Zhang Yi, the shepherd of Bingzhou, was a civil official. Before Yang Xuanmo appeared, Zhang Liao had always been Zhang Yi's right-hand man, responsible for fighting against the unruly Jiuyuan tiger Lu Bu. Secondly, when Yang Xuanmo was in crisis in Bingzhou, he only stepped forward to defend Jinyang during the crisis in Jinyang, avoiding the risk of city destruction and casualties. At the same time, Yang Xuanmo was also a direct general of Zhang Yi, the shepherd of Bingzhou.
On the first day, he traveled eighty miles and settled in Loufan County. All the officials in Loufan County, a subsidiary of Bingzhou, greeted Mr. Zhoumu with sincerity and arranged a banquet to wash away the dust. The second stop, Mayi, was Zhang Liao's hometown. As the governor of the North, Zhang Liao returned to his hometown with honor. Next is Yunzhou, then Macheng, Pingyi, Sangqian and Dangcheng in Daijun.
The journey was very peaceful, and everyone's nervous hearts became calmer and calmer.
