Agents of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 14 Ginger is still old and spicy

Old Man Du sat up, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "I will tell you about the situation in Wuji County."

"First, the geographical location of Wuji County. Wuji County is located at the junction of Changshan, Zhongshan and Julu County. Although Wuji County belongs to Zhongshan Country, because it is located at the border of the three places, it has a special geographical location. There are a lot of people coming and going, and there are a lot of disputes. If you don't pay attention to a small thing, it will cause trouble."

"The old man remembers that there was an assassination incident in Wuji County. The new county magistrate of Wuji County took office at that time and was determined to do something. After he took office, the first thing he did was to set up a checkpoints to check the businessmen who come and go. At the same time, checkpoints were set up on the border between Julu County and Wuji County, hoping to take this opportunity to gain prestige. But unexpectedly angered the businessmen who came and went, these heroic businessmen were furious Next, let someone kill the county magistrate."

"How is it, isn't it messy?"

Mr. Du spoke seriously, but his expression was calm.

Wang Lei chuckled twice and shook his head, "In my opinion, this county magistrate is stupid, and Wuji County itself is a mess. As soon as he took office, he offended the powerful businessmen in Wuji County and pushed everyone to the opposite side. Isn't that Are you looking for your own death? Besides, the county magistrate of Wuji County doesn’t have the power to protect himself. It’s better to stay still than to move, and you have to take it slowly.”

The old man laughed and said, "It's easy to say, but easier said than done!"

Wang Lei shook his head, disapproving.

The old man did not argue with Wang Lei, stroked the beard under his chin, and continued: "Second, Wuji County is heroic and powerful. I just said that because of Wuji County's geographical location, Wuji County has become a gathering place for businessmen. , There are countless heroes gathered. Not to mention heroes, although you are a ruffian, to put it more elegantly, you are also a hero. The most important thing is the tyrants in Wuji County. The biggest tyrants in Wuji County are the Zhen clan, the Zhen family From Shangguan to Sangong, although the family is in decline and there are no more high-ranking officials, the family is extremely rich. They are the real tycoons in Wuji County. Having such a family is like hanging a long sword over your head. Once you touch For the benefit of the Zhen family, it may take your life at any time."

Wang Lei frowned, the situation is very bad!

He thought of Jushou who was operating secretly, and frowned: "Could it be that Jushou wants Zhen Shi to deal with me?"

The old man sighed softly, looking like he didn't know, "I don't know if Han Fu ordered the Zhen family to deal with you, but the Zhen family is not the biggest threat. After all, if you don't provoke him, he will not provoke you. It is not enough make it difficult for you to move forward."

Wang Lei took a cold breath and asked, "Any more questions?"

"Black bandit!"

The old man spoke loudly and looked cold.

Wang Lei looked horrified, and said, "Could it be the Black Mountain Army led by the Yellow Turban Bandit Zhang Yan?"

The old man was surprised and stared at Wang Lei blankly.

This kid actually knows about Zhang Yan?

Wang Lei scratched his head and said inexplicably, "What are you staring at me for? Could it be that there are flowers on your face?"

The old man said in a deep voice, "Do you know Zhang Yan?"

Wang Lei understood the reason why the old man was surprised. It turned out that Wang Lei was very brave and ruthless. He only knew how to be brave. He only paid attention to the place as big as a palm in Dongshi. He didn't know the officials of Ye County, let alone a Heishan who was not in Ye County. The thief Zhang Yan.Wang Lei smiled, and replied casually: "I've heard people mention that Zhang Yan is very powerful."

The old man nodded and did not continue to ask.

He paused for a while and continued: "Zhang Yan's original name was Chu Yan. Zhang Jiao gathered a crowd to make trouble, and Zhang Yan followed the Yellow Turban Marshal Zhang Niu Jiao to make trouble. Later, Zhang Niu Jiao was killed, and Zhang Yan became the commander of the Yellow Turban Bandit. At that time , the Yellow Turban Bandits have been suppressed by Lu Zhi, Huang Fusong, and Zhu Jun, and the strength of the Yellow Turban Bandits has been greatly reduced, and they are no longer enough to threaten the court."

"Zhang Yan is a cunning man. Seeing that the opportunity was not right, he took the rest of the Yellow Turbans and retreated to the territory of Hebei. Based on the valleys and forests of Taihang Mountain, they gathered in the mountains and forests to avoid the imperial court's troops. They called them the Black Mountain Army."

"At that time, the imperial court showed weakness and the emperor was unable to conquer, so that the counties in Hebei were frequently harassed by the Black Mountain army led by Zhang Yan. If his status is not good enough, he sent people to Luoyang to surrender, intending to surrender to the imperial court."

"The emperor was a stupid person, and the officials in the court didn't want to start a war again, so they accepted Zhang Yan and worshiped Zhang Yan as a general in peace. In this way, the court's face will be decent, so they will no longer care about Zhang Yan's position." It is a pity that the Black Mountain bandits are still Black Mountain bandits, gathering in the mountains and forests, often looting, and often attacking cities."

The old man looked helpless and shrugged, "Wuji County, where you are about to take office, is a place frequented by Heishan bandits. Tell me, what will happen if you are the county magistrate of Wuji County?"

Wang Lei's expression was stern, and he said in a deep voice: "Jiang is still old and spicy. The old man analyzed it for me, and everything came to the surface. Hmph, this Jizhou Mu Han Fu really has no good intentions. He wanted to borrow a knife to kill Zhang Yan, a black mountain bandit. Dao, justifiably kill me, so that I have no reason to spread the news about Zhang Cheng's interception."

"As long as you know!"

The old man snorted and sighed: "I'm afraid that there will be no one to die."

With a dark face, Wang Lei retorted: "Old man, you look down on me too."

The old man rolled his eyes, shook his head and said, "Do you think there are only Black Mountain bandits? I don't know about the internal troubles in Wuji County, but what I know is the threat from Youzhou and the Huns. Gongsun Zan, under Liu Yu in Youzhou, is a remarkable man." Character, after you arrive in office, he will be able to watch you secure the position of magistrate of Wuji County. The Huns also invade the border from time to time, is there no one in your hands who can stop you?"

The old man sighed and said, "You boy, why did you get such an errand!"

After thinking about it carefully, Wang Lei said calmly, "Old man, there are dangers, but there are also opportunities. If I had been in Ye County, I would at most be the thicker big ant among ants, and I would always be a ruffian who was looked down upon by others. The county magistrate of Ji County can change my identity. This is an opportunity, once grasped, from now on, the sky will let the birds fly and the seas and fishes leap."

The old man's gray brows were raised, his eyes were wide open, and his expression was surprised.

It seems that this is the first time to see Wang Lei clearly.

After a long time, the old man said with emotion: "Your boy has been sent to prison, and earth-shaking changes have taken place. In the past, he was brave and brave, but now he is calm and has become like an adult. This is a good thing and a bad thing, the future is unknown!"

Wang Lei changed the subject and said: "Old man, although you are a military marquis, it was when you were young. You have been staying in Ye County for these years and have hardly left Ye County. How do you know so much news?"

The old man's pupils shrank, and he smiled again: "This old man eats more salt than you eat, it's just nonsense. Go away, think about what to do, and do the handover well, don't bother me."

Wang Lei felt weird, but he didn't ask any more questions, got up and left the yard.
