"What! Wei Yue, you and Fengxian are already in Baideng?!"
Hearing Wei Yue's reply, Cheng Lian was stunned.
Even with Zhang Fan present, Wei Yue's eyebrows still rose and he couldn't hide his pride: "Hey, there's a lot you don't know!"
But remembering that there was still something serious to report, Wei Yue resisted being embarrassed in front of Cheng Lian and reported to Zhang Fan sincerely.
"It's just as Shaojun expected! I was nestled in a haystack and could see clearly from a distance. After Shaojun and you left, there were indeed ten Xianbei dogs riding behind you, and there was no trace of you Shaojun. Finally, the group of Xianbei dogs came back in panic!"
"Then I followed a few guests from a distance and found that they were really going in the direction of Qiangyin!"
Hearing this, Cheng Lian still didn't understand!
It turned out that the young master from home had already made a decision and did not care about Wei Zijing's little thoughts just now. Cheng Lian thought of two key points.
First, if the Xianbei dog doesn’t bounce back to the Khan Mountain, why go to Qiangyin? !
The second thing is that Lu Fengxian and Wei Zijing were already waiting in Baideng City. Aren't they in Mayi to prepare county soldiers?
Cheng Lian was not a stupid man after all, he had already figured it out in just one breath!
Xianbei is about to move its army south, and the area they are attacking is the Qiangyin area!
But my young master had already been prepared, and he actually transferred Lu Bu and others to Baideng under the radar.
Zhang Fan also smiled apologetically when he saw Cheng Lian's stunned expression.
"I'm sorry, Zizhang. Originally, I wanted to wait until Xianbei acted as I expected before fully informing you, but I didn't expect Wei Zijing to be so impatient..."
"Young Master, I understand!"
Cheng Lian nodded.
After a short break, Zhang Fan asked everyone to eat some soup cakes to warm themselves up. Wei Yue also got a portion. He was so happy that he whispered to Cheng Lian, "Sure enough, the young master still values me, Wei Zijing and Lu Fengxian more." "Cheng Lian, you have to make more progress" and other words.
Zhang Fan didn't take it seriously, and so did Lian Chenglian, who just lowered his head and drank the soup.
If one were to judge who Shaojun was closer to based on the comparison between Wei and Yue, then it would undoubtedly be him who was a good man and a good man!
Cheng Lian has been Zhang Fan's personal bodyguard since he left Wuyuan with Lu Bu, Wei Yue, Hao Meng, Cao Xing, Song Xian and many other villagers five years ago and attached themselves to the Zhang family!
Based on this alone, Cheng Lian will not be discouraged by the words of the frivolous Wei Yue.
Although Wei Yue kept talking in his ears from time to time about Lu Bu leading Hao Meng and others to fight against the Xianbei people many times and beheading many people, Wei Zijing also wanted to use this to show up in front of Shaojun and perform meritorious service.
However, Cheng Lian never felt that this was such a good thing. Even though he envied the majesty of fighting on the battlefield, he also felt that his young master was alienating Lu Bu invisibly.
It is said that some time ago, Shaojun found a great position in the army for Fengxian. He said that his official rank was not high and he only had a few troops under his command, but he was the first among them from Wuyuan Township.
There is no way, who makes Lu Fengxian the one with the highest martial arts among them!
Cheng Lian was also happy for Lu Bu. Although he had followed Zhang Fan for a long time, he felt that Shaojun didn't like Fengxian, but at any rate Shaojun also had high hopes for Fengxian and said bluntly in front of everyone that Lu Bu would definitely become "The world's most famous general"!
...
Soon after, Zhang Fan and his party entered Baideng City.
As soon as they entered the city, they discovered a strange atmosphere in the city. The entire city seemed to have turned into a military camp, with soldiers everywhere. They had obviously just entered the city and were busy sorting out the weapons and equipment they carried.
The city gate was quickly closed after they entered, and they were only allowed in but not out, which made everyone feel an invisible pressure.
Children, women and children were also aware of the coming war, but strangely there was not much fear on their faces.
Zhang Fan again thought of the scenes he saw from time to time in his daily life. In the land of Yanzhao in Hebei Province, all the old, weak, women and children had some martial arts skills.
Zhang Fan felt a little dazed looking at the busy people in the city.
He looked around, and the city seemed like a thunder to anyone familiar with history.
The story of the White House siege happened here. Although people dare not talk about it out loud now, its impact has always been there.
After all, it is a shameful thing.
At this moment, a man who seemed to be a city official rushed out from nowhere, pointing at the large group of Han infantry and shouting, sweating profusely.
"Fuck! Where did you come from! I didn't hear anything about troop deployment in the county. Stop it...and you! Why did you close the city gate! Open it quickly! I want it Go to the county and report the history!"
As the man spoke, he walked towards the city gate. The soldiers at the city gate saw that this man was wearing official robes and seemed to be reasonable, so they were not sure of his direction for a while.
After some hesitation, the man who yelled and cursed was about to leave the city.
Zhang Fan, who was riding on a white horse, watched this scene the whole time, watched the man stride away from him towards the city gate, and then sneered.
"Get him!"
Cheng Lian, who was beside him, reacted very quickly. After hearing his young master's order, he immediately turned his horse around and headed towards the man in official robes without thinking too much.
Wei Yue on the side followed closely. Just when Cheng Lian and Wei Yue heard Zhang Fan's order to get someone, the man standing at the city gate and about to leave the city also heard Zhang Fan's voice.
Knowing that his bad intentions were exposed, he didn't dare to slack off. He actually grabbed a horse rein from the stunned city gate soldier beside him, and wanted to take the opportunity to escape through the door!
"Keep him alive!" Zhang Fan said coldly.
Cheng Lian got the order. Since things were developing very fast, he didn't have a bow or arrow in hand at the moment, so he directly drew out his waist knife and threw it directly under the man with a "sudden" sound.
Immediately afterwards, the man who had snatched the horse felt his vision go dark, and he fell to the ground. It turned out that the horse he had just snatched had its legs cut off by the reckless man behind him!
Alas!
The man was struggling to get up, but then he was lifted up by another man.
Wei Yue walked up to Zhang Fan holding the man's back collar, and Cheng Lian also took back the waist knife.
"Who are you? How did you know that Mr. Dou is not in the county? Haha! When officials have something to report to the superior, instead of going to the prefect for important matters such as mobilizing troops, they go to the chief minister instead? Apparently a few days ago, Wang Shijun reported illness and returned home. Let’s rest at home for now!”
"Instead of looking for a good governor, you want to find a long history who is not doing anything at the moment? I'm afraid you have an ulterior motive! That's why we came out to cause trouble when we just entered the city and the city gates were not yet closed."
Zhang Fan's tone became more and more serious, and the man's eyes kept rolling from the beginning to his face ashen at the end.
"Hey! Zhang Shaojun! Zhang Shaojun! Chang Shi asked you to come over!"
Suddenly, a middle-aged scribe came hurriedly towards this side, still shouting.
"Oh, Mr. Guo!"
Zhang Fan saluted the visitor, but was pulled away before he could speak, and then went straight to the Baideng City Government Office.
Guo Dian is the staff of Yanmen County Governor Shi Wangze. The two of them actually have several characteristics in common. First, they are both from the top five surnames in Taiyuan. Second, they are both in their forties or fifties. , and lastly and most importantly, the relationship between the two of them with Ma Yi Zhang, or with Zhang Fan, is extraordinary.
Guo Dian is Guo Tai's clan brother, Wang Ze is Wang Yun's cousin, and both Zhang Fan and Wang Yun have received Guo Tai's teachings, and Guo Tai has also commented on both of them.
Guo Tai once saw Wang Yun and felt strange. He commented on Wang Yun as: "Wang's life is a thousand miles, and Wang Zuo's talent is also great."
Not long after, Guo Tai saw that Zhang Fan was young, but his speech and behavior were completely different from ordinary people, and Zhang Fan had unique insights into business, so he made a famous comment about Zhang Fan.
That is to say, "If the world is peaceful, you will be the pillar of the country; if the world is unstable, you will be the hero of the world!" This is true.
You know, as soon as Guo Tai and Guo Linzong made comments about Zhang Fan, Zhang Fan and Zhang Shaojun, who had traveled through the Han Dynasty for several years, were so happy that they couldn't sleep!
Who are Guo Tai and Guo Linzong!
That was known as "Xu Guo" together with Xu Shao. He was hailed as one of the "Three Sages of Jiexiu". He was promoted as a leader by the students of Taipei University. He was hailed as one of the "Eight Gu" of the party members by scholars. He was promoted by Taichang Zhao Dian. A wise and distinguished man!
Although Zhang Fan's comments about "the pillar of the country" and "the proud son of the world" were really surprising, because how could he feel that these comments were so similar to those of the later Cao Cao, Cao Mengde!
Just a few years ago, the shameless Cao Cao asked Xu Shao and Xu Zijiang for a comment, and got the famous saying that has been passed down through the ages: "A capable minister in times of trouble is a traitor in troubled times."
It was also because of this place that Cao Cao became famous in the Han Empire to a certain extent, but Zhang Fan was not afraid! After all, he had made similar comments to Guo Linzong many years earlier.
He has a "patent"!
The pillars of the country and capable ministers, arrogant heroes and traitorous heroes! No matter how you look at it, there is a tendency for a fight! Today's wife Cao should have already served as an official in Luoyang and is preparing to serve as a county magistrate.
To be honest, Zhang Fan really wondered for a moment whether Guo Tai had also traveled through time!
But all in all, in a nutshell!
Zhang Fan didn't even have the slightest hint of criticism towards Guo Tai! Some just feel grateful slowly!
Even in the first year of Jianning a few years ago, Guo Tai was killed because his tutor Chen Fan and his general Dou Wu failed in their plan to kill the eunuchs. After he died in grief, nearly ten thousand people "carried the burdens and walked the road." In the grand occasion of "chai chariots packed with reeds and stuffed tubes" coming to the funeral, Zhang Fan himself even got an excellent position next to Guo Tai's coffin.
Only a true time traveler will realize the importance of the so-called "reputation" among the big men!
Wouldn't today's little Liu Bei and the future Uncle Liu always talk about "after Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan in the Western Han Dynasty" everywhere?
Didn’t Sun Jian, the future Jiangdong Tiger, also claim that his family lineage came from Sun Wu? Even though he had been here for more than ten years, Zhang Fan still found out the truth.
Therefore, with Guo Tai's role, Zhang Fan established a close relationship with the Bingzhou scholars from that day on!
The wealthy families in Taiyuan such as Guo and Wang, as well as the powerful landlords in prefectures and counties, all opened their minds!
This was the political foundation that Zhang Fan established for himself in the future when he was young.
"When Taizu was young, his behavior was different from others and he had extraordinary ambitions. Taiyou was pleased with him and often taught him. Later, Guo Tai used Chen Fan and Dou Wu to plot against the eunuchs. After his death, Taizu was proud of himself. Coffins and coffins. People have since said that Taizu’s deeds are unparalleled in the world." - "Book of Later Jin" Volume 1 "The Chronicles of Gaozu"
