When he was a child, Zhang Fan was also thinking, why on earth did this thief send him to the Eastern Han Dynasty?
Either time travel, time travel, or you have to give yourself a so-called golden finger!
Zhang Fan squatted in Yanmen, in the northern part of the Han Empire, and waited patiently for several years. After adapting and asking around, he finally made up his mind.
He decided to accept that he was an ordinary descendant of the Zhang family in Mayi.
Thinking about my previous life, I was a hard-working man majoring in history and liberal arts. I had just finished my final paper at night, and I wanted to continue writing my historical novels so that I could get perfect attendance.
As a result, just for the perfect attendance of these few hundred people, I came to this strange world as soon as I closed my eyes and opened them again.
I don’t have much knowledge about the late Eastern Han Dynasty!
But Zhang Fan knew that he could not sit still and wait for death!
Soon it will be the Three Kingdoms at the end of Han Dynasty! After the Three Kingdoms, there were another five chaos in China!
Everyone knows that except for Liu Bei, the other warlord leaders in the Three Kingdoms would massacre cities at every turn! Even if he escaped the Three Kingdoms and reached the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it would not be a joke for Zahu to go south! Although I don’t know if I can survive until the Eastern Jin Dynasty...
Speaking of which, Uncle Liu Bei and Emperor Liu seem to be younger than him now.
Just when Zhang Fan's thoughts were wandering, a voice pulled him back.
"Young Master, then Mr. Dou Fu...has really surrendered to Xianbei?"
The person who asked the question was Cheng Lian.
The group of them had already ridden away and were planning to return to Mayi.
Facing this personal guest, Zhang Fan felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
Just one thing, in order to attract Cheng Lian, and Wei Yue and Cao Xing who did not follow him today, he had many intentions.
For example, Zhang Fan asked his uncle to give them the names Cheng Lian, Wei Yue, and Cao Xing.
Several of them were originally from poor farmers in Wuyuan. After receiving the title from their master, they became even more grateful.
"Well, what do you think of Zizhang? Or do you also want to follow Mr. Dou Fu to visit Danhan Mountain?"
Zhang Fan looked relaxed and couldn't help joking.
Danhan Mountain is the royal palace of Xianbei, more than 300 miles north of Gaoliu.
Cheng Lian has followed Zhang Fan for many years, so he understands his young master's temperament and knows that he is joking, but he still takes it seriously.
"Of course not. I think back then, the villain, Wei Yue, and Fengxian, and we fellow villagers were living outside. Thanks to Shaojun's rescue, we were saved from dying in the wilderness. Even the wives of humble people like us, Young Master has made proper arrangements! Cheng Lian has no way of repaying such great kindness, so he will follow you to the death!"
"What the villain is thinking is that Xianbei dogs invade the border every year, burning, killing and looting. If Mr. Dou Fu surrenders to Xianbei, will he also..."
Cheng Lian thought it was time to stop. After following Zhang Fan for a long time, he naturally understood the word "property".
Zhang Fan felt relieved, looked at the horizon, and said calmly: "This is what I didn't ask just now. Mr. Dou Fu...should understand..."
At this time, Dou Tong had already completed contact with the hundreds of Xianbei cavalry. These hundreds of people were sent by Tan Shihuai, the Xianbei Khan who was famous outside the Great Wall. Therefore, this group of Xianbei people did not care about Dou Tong. Didn't do anything disrespectful.
"Hey, Mr. Dou!"
A strong Xianbei man wearing a sheepskin robe rode up to Dou Tong's side. The strong fishy smell on his body caused all Dou Tong's family members to cover their noses and frown.
This strong man, who was obviously the head of the Xianbei aristocracy, didn't take it seriously and greeted him in broken Chinese.
Dou Tong already knew his name, but he looked at the crowd hanging behind the Xianbei cavalry team.
"Lord Luoluo, what's going on?"
Luo Luo Hu followed Dou Tong's gaze and saw that those were the "trophies" that the group of hundreds of Xianbei soldiers came to pick up Dou Tong - the Han people they had plundered from several villages.
Most of the people in this group were women, and everyone had a sad look on their face.
Dou Tong couldn't bear it and sighed. In fact, as the prefect of Yanmen County, this kind of scene is not uncommon.
During the year, the Xianbei people's trips south to clear grass valleys were not limited to winter.
In the winter, we go to the border to grab some clothes to keep out the cold. In the spring, we go to the border because the season has stopped. In autumn, we can't take advantage of the clan's war horses to get fat and strong to grab food!
As the leader of the aristocracy in Xianbei in the west, Luohu was a big shot who could directly face the Great Khan Tan Shihuai. Therefore, he maintained his noble status and caught a Han man to learn some Chinese.
On the one hand, didn't Confucius, a Han Chinese, also say that "there is no distinction between education and distinction", so naturally he didn't think there was anything wrong with him, a Xianbei man, learning a little bit of Han culture when he settled down in Luohu.
On the other hand, the Han people's gadgets are indeed much more interesting, such as the fine wine Shu Brocade run by the Zhang family in Mayi, but every year the Luoluo man secretly buys it from the Han people.
"Haha, which girl does Mr. Dou like? I make the decision and give that woman to Mr. Dou as his maid!"
Luo Luohu didn't seem to understand the reason why Dou Tong was unhappy, so he smiled cheerfully and decided to make a choice.
But just when Dou Tong was about to have an attack, Luo Luohu turned back to his horse for just a moment, with a smile of unknown meaning on his face.
"Forget it, for the sake of Mr. Dou, let's return these Han people to Mr. Dou. When Mr. Dou first came to Xianbei, he still needs servants to serve him."
Dou Tong's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he glared at Luo Luohu with a cold expression.
But Luoluohu still didn't take it seriously. He suddenly raised his whip and struck it directly on a Xianbei soldier who was holding the horse.
"Slave dog, why don't you go and return those Han people to Mr. Dou!"
After hearing what his leader was saying, the Xianbei soldier immediately took orders to do it, but with a smile on his face.
He was still wearing clothes stolen from a Han family, and strangely, the whip the leader had just hit on him didn't hurt at all!
Dou Tong finally stopped looking and returned to his carriage.
spit!
Xianbei dog!
On the other side, Luo Luohu burst out laughing when he saw this, and a group of close guards behind him also laughed inexplicably along with the leader.
spit!
What a bullshit Han family prefect!
If his own Great Khan hadn't valued this person's identity, he would never have come to greet Dou Tong in person when he settled in Luohu.
But today is indeed dangerous. They have already arrived outside Pingcheng, and there are only a few hundred cavalry. If there is a Han general who is brave, he may not be able to return to Danhan Mountain today.
Thinking of this, Luoluohu thought of the Han young man riding a white horse that he had vaguely seen, rolled his eyes and gave instructions.
"Go, call Doucang!"
A guard beside Luohu immediately took the order and left.
...
In a post pavilion between Pingcheng and Baideng, Zhang Fan and his party were resting here.
Just now, their group was obviously going to Mayi, but before they had gone far, Zhang Fan suddenly ordered to turn back to Baideng City.
Baideng is located in the northeast of Pingcheng, very close to Pingcheng. But this is completely opposite to their route, because Mayi is southwest of Pingcheng.
Cheng Lian was a little restless in front of the house. The other guests of the Zhang family were sitting around a fire, and the chief of the post pavilion, Qiu Pi, the father of the pavilion and several pavilion servants were busy making soup for the nobles of the Zhang family in Mayi. Cook cakes.
Cheng Lian didn't know where his uneasiness came from, whether it was his young master's sudden change of direction or the hundreds of Xianbei cavalry he saw today.
The cold wind whistled outside the house, and Cheng Lian finally couldn't hold it in anymore!
He is responsible for Zhang Fan's personal safety, so he must take care of everything!
"Young Master!"
Cheng Lian quickly walked to Zhang Fan's side and saw Zhang Fan holding a book and reading on the desk.
Cheng Lian didn't know a few Chinese characters before, but after joining Zhang's business in Mayi and working for Zhang Shaojun, he learned a few characters.
The three words "Taiping Jing" are written on that volume. It must be a book written by a certain sage.
Cheng Lian had been thinking about it for a long time, so he said so directly.
"Cheng Lian would like to take the liberty of asking you why you suddenly changed direction today? Is it because you saw the Xianbei cavalry?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Cheng Lian regretted them!
What does it mean to see that Xianbei cavalry! His words seemed to indicate that his young master was extremely timid.
Zhang Fan, however, knew Cheng Lian's nature well, smiled slightly, and put down the book in his hand.
"Zizhang, don't be anxious! I know what you mean. In fact, if you don't come to me today, I will look down on you from now on and focus on Wei Zijing and the others."
Cheng Lian's heart trembled.
"Zizhang might as well tell you what you are worried about?"
Zhang Fan took the hot soup carefully brought by the pavilion chief, took a sip gently, and let Cheng Lian continue talking nonchalantly.
"Shaojun, I'm worried that the Xianbei dog may be chasing me! Moreover, I just feel that Zahu and Shaojun, your actions today are different from the past!"
Cheng Lian organized his thoughts and spoke concisely, but looked at Zhang Fan cautiously.
Yes, there was definitely something that Shaojun didn't tell him today, but Cheng Lian didn't care at this point. What Shaojun did was something he, a warrior, could not understand. All he cared about was Shaojun's safety!
"Young Master, in the past, the Xianbei dogs would not have dared to go deep into Yanmen or approach Pingcheng! What's more, there are only a hundred riders, so they must be relied on! Therefore, I am worried that there may be a sudden change that will be detrimental to Young Master!"
"But Shaojun suddenly changed his direction to Baideng. I think Shaojun should have been prepared or expected it. If Shaojun just thought that the journey back to Mayi was too far and just wanted to rest for a while in Baideng, I think Shaojun I thought that Young Master should have taken precautions in advance, as it was unpredictable!"
Cheng Lian thought for a while and told all his speculations.
Zhang Fan looked at Cheng Lian with admiration, and said to himself that the only person who could show up in the Three Kingdoms was a man with two skills, and his loyalty was evident.
At this moment, there was a sudden neighing of horses outside the post pavilion, followed by the sound of entering the door.
"Young Master! Young Master!"
Cheng Lian was stunned for a moment, thinking that this person's voice sounded very familiar.
After seeing the appearance of the person clearly, he was surprised and said.
"Wei Yue, aren't you in Mayi? Why are you here!"
"After the establishment of Emperor Ling, the counties on the edge of You, Bing, and Liang Prefectures were raided by Xianbei bandits every year, and countless soldiers were killed." - "Book of the Later Han Dynasty"
