After more than a month of long journey, Liu Yan's family finally crossed the Yellow River and set foot on the land of Jizhou.
Dayu divided the world into nine states, including Jizhou, which ranked first among the nine states.
During the Han Dynasty, the world was divided into thirteen states, and Jizhou was still an important state in terms of economy and population.
Yuan Shao relied on Jizhou's talents to dominate Hebei.
Although Jizhou is not the largest state in the world now, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Jizhou has a vague tendency to become the largest state in the world.
After pacifying the north, Cao Cao chose Yecheng in Jizhou as his royal capital.
"Jizhou, Jizhou, the hometown of Yan and Zhao."
"Hebei has many righteous people, and Yan and Zhao Guang are heroes."
Along the way, Liu Zhang appreciated the charm of the land of Yanzhao and couldn't help but sigh.
"Zhang'er, how come you have so many insights?"
Liu Yan looked at his son with some curiosity. He had been in Nanyang since he was born and had never been to Hebei.
"Father, there is something in the book: There are many people in Yan and Zhao who are generous and sad! My child has been sighing like this all the way!"
"That's right! There are many heroes in the land of Yanzhao, this has been the case since ancient times!"
"But what book has this record? Why didn't my father know about it?"
Liu Yan's question made Liu Zhang slightly startled and he didn't know how to answer.
Where does it come from? It comes from Han Yu's "Preface to Dong Shaonan", I can't tell you!
"Ahem."
Liu Zhang coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, and then imitated the great scholar, shook his head and said loudly:
"The book has its own beauty like jade, and the book has its own golden house."
Ah! Is this guy crazy? Exported as poetry?
Liu Yan looked at Liu Zhang with a strange expression.
"Zhang'er, my father knows this golden house. But what is this Yan Ruyu?"
Liu Zhang shook his head helplessly, secretly blaming himself for talking too much.
"Father, Yan Ruyu described the woman as very beautiful."
Liu Yan snorted and asked again:
"Then why is it named after Yan Ruyu?"
Are you one hundred thousand whys?
Liu Zhang looked at his father with some annoyance and said seriously:
"There is no limit to learning! Father still needs to learn more!"
"Oh, you kid!"
Liu Yan suddenly laughed angrily when he saw Liu Zhang looking like an elder.
At this moment, the voice of the guard came from outside.
"Master Liu, there is something going on ahead."
"More than ten people surrounded a carriage."
"Go and see, what's going on?"
"promise!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Zhang slipped out of the carriage.
"Zhang'er, come back quickly! Don't run around!"
"Father, I'll go take a look and then come back."
Liu Yan was very anxious when he saw this. He couldn't wait for the guards to come back and chased Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang was not stupid. Seeing that there were many people ahead, he had already asked Huang Zhong to follow him.
With Huang Zhong by his side, safety is no problem.
Just as the guard said, more than a dozen strong men were surrounding a middle-aged man and a carriage.
"Master Cai, I admire you very much! I came here to invite you in person. Don't you show your respect?"
"Thank you for your invitation, but I have been ordered to go to the border and I dare not delay! I hope you will forgive me."
"Master Cai, I am so sincere, why don't you give me face?"
"It's not because I don't give you face, but it's actually against the sacred command! Don't blame me!"
"you!"
Just when the leader was about to get angry, he suddenly saw many soldiers coming here.
"Master, what should I do?"
Everyone was a little panicked when they saw the officers and soldiers.
"Don't panic! We didn't do anything."
Not long after, Liu Zhang arrived. Liu Yan also followed closely behind.
"Brother Bozhe?"
Liu Yan shouted forward in surprise.
"Junlang? Why are you here?"
The middle-aged people who were surrounded were also very surprised and turned to overjoyed.
"Brother Bozhe, what's going on?"
Seeing that something was wrong, Liu Yan had already asked all the guards to come forward and prepare to fight.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, but the uncle was still in the crowd, and he would definitely not be spared if there was a fight.
The leader bowed to Liu Yan and said:
"Sir, I'm Zhang Jiao on Taiping Road. I admire Lord Cai Yong, so I would like to ask Lord Cai to speak to you."
"What! Zhang Jiao?"
Liu Zhang exclaimed, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
Liu Zhang didn't feel attracted attention at all, and then looked at Cai Yong.
Cai Yong! Cai Daru! The founder of Fei Bai Ti! The library of the late Han Dynasty!
Liu Zhang was shocked, what happened today? Not only did I meet Zhang Jiao, I also met Cai Yong!
"Zhang'er, do you know this person?"
Liu Yan looked at Liu Zhang in confusion. Does this three-year-old know anyone from Hebei?
"I don't know! I don't know!"
Liu Zhang quickly shook his head. He could not get involved with the rebels.
Liu Yan nodded slightly, then looked at Zhang Jiao with a stern look.
"Junlang, forget it, they are also entrusted by others."
Zhang Jiao was very surprised. He thought there would be a fierce battle, but he didn't expect Cai Yong to intercede for him.
"Since Mr. Cai doesn't want to talk about it, Zhang Jiao doesn't dare to force him to do it. Farewell!"
Zhang Jiao, who was walking away, suddenly turned back and looked at Liu Zhang, and found that the latter was also looking at him.
Zhang Jiao smiled slightly, no longer lingering, and gradually disappeared from Liu Zhang's eyes.
