I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 196 Future Generals

Guan Yu respected Huangfu Song very much, even though Huangfu Song came from a wealthy family.

Not to mention that the emperor specially summoned him when he came and had high hopes for his trip to Liangzhou. Huangfu Song's outstanding military exploits alone were enough for him to take him seriously.

Moreover, Huangfu Song had been in the army for a long time, and his military aura was very strong, which covered up his label of scholar-bureaucrat.

Because of Liu Bian, Huangfu Song also valued Guan Yu very much. Since setting off from Luoyang, he had taught unreservedly to the generals headed by Guan Yu along the way.

In addition, for Guan Yu, there is also his old friend Huangfu Li.

"Yun Chang, how does it feel to visit your old place again?"

"People are right and things are different. Looking at this, everything is getting better!"

Guan Yu returned to Hanyang County and revisited his hometown. Fu Xie and Huangfu Li, who had cooperated to disrupt the rebels' retreat, were all there, but Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were now clearing out the remaining rebels in Qingzhou.

After Huangfusong led his troops to Ji County, he did not set off for Longyou County immediately. Instead, he prepared to take a short rest to allow the army to adapt to the soil and water of Liangzhou, and at the same time, he also wanted the accompanying generals to be familiar with Liangzhou. Have a realistic understanding of the situation in the state.

Guan Yu and Huangfu Li then visited Fu Xie together.

Moreover, with Huangfu Li's official selection system at this time, the future may not be uncertain.

Guan Yu returned after more than two years, and he felt the changes were particularly obvious.

"I see that the roads outside Ji County are connected and the people live and work in peace and contentment. I have heard that those who are good at fighting have no great achievements. I am talking about people like Mr. Fu. What I did in the past was just to follow orders and fulfill my duties as a minister. , I shouldn’t have such a famous reputation, and I feel very ashamed every time I think about it.”

Zhang Liao was born in Yanmen County, facing the outside of the Great Wall. When he was a boy, it was when the Xianbei people were most prosperous under the leadership of Tan Shihuai. It can be said that Zhang Liao grew up during the year after year of invasion by the Xianbei people.

Huangfu Song's son Huangfu Jianshou was an official outside, and his nephew Huangfu Li served inside, but this was a family matter.

When Zhao Yun was in the army, he fought against the Wuhuan and Xianbei people respectively.

They had no old friends in Liangzhou, so after Huangfu Song asked them to leave the military camp for a casual look, the two of them put on their regular clothes and walked around together.

Huangfu Li had been training with Huangfu Song in Sanfu, and he also had some unique insights passed down from Huangfu Song.

After the old friends reunited, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion. As he spoke, Fu Xie praised: "I haven't seen him for more than two years. I heard here that Yunchang has created such a famous reputation in Kanto. It is really gratifying and congratulatory!"

Neither of them had ever served in the Northern Army or the Xiyuan Army, and they had a lot in common along the way.

Fu Xie sighed after hearing this: "If everyone could be like Yun Chang and take it as a matter of course to fulfill their duties as ministers, the world would have been in great order long ago!"

Huangfu Li chose to resign as Yilang and return to serve Huangfu Song, otherwise he would probably be different today. But now it seems that Huangfu Li has no regrets.

Afterwards, the three discussed what they had seen and experienced over the past two years.

At this time the wheat has been harvested and the soybeans have been planted. The weather is getting hotter and the vegetation is growing wildly. There are many farmers weeding the fields.

Guan Yu's words of praise were not because he became fond of business exchanges, but because his feelings were sincere.

As they walked, they saw an old man resting under a tree and two children playing nearby, so they came forward to chat.

After the discussion, the three of them each had their own results.

Being in Jixian County, apart from the fact that the city walls and government offices remained the same but slightly dilapidated, the fertile fields and villages outside the city and the mental outlook of the Han and Hu people in the city were completely different from those three years ago.

Unlike Guan Yu, both Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao came to Liangzhou for the first time.

Compared with Fu Xie and Guan Yu, Huangfu Li was standing still.

The farmer is a Qiang, but his clothes are almost the same as those of a Han. If it weren't for his lack of fluency in Chinese, neither of them would doubt that he claims to be a Han.

The old man was not afraid of Zhao and Zhang. His son had been working as a minor official in Linxiang since Yun Dynasty, and he was highly appreciated by Shangguan.

During the conversation, Zhao Yun asked: "Old man, are there many people around here who can speak Chinese as well as you?" The old man laughed and said, "I am a slow learner. Those who learned quickly in the past got a lot of rewards. , I only got it once! But let me tell you quietly, most of those who learn quickly can originally speak Chinese, but they deliberately pretend not to know it in order to get rewards..."

"Don't tell anyone else!"

Zhang Liao asked: "Does my father know Chinese before learning?"

The old man had a unique simplicity and cunningness, but he smiled and said nothing.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao also understood each other.

In fact, it can be said that none of the currently active Dong Qiang people do not understand Chinese at all. As for the reason... all this is inseparable from Duan Ji's ten years of good governance in Liangzhou.

After all, the butcher knife held high is a guiding light.

The two said goodbye to the old man. On the way, they discussed that this loophole to earn reward money might have been left on purpose.

Walking to a village, I suddenly heard that it was very lively.

The noisy voices included Qiang dialect that he couldn't understand, and sometimes mixed with Chinese that he could understand.

When they got closer, they found that many familiar people were already watching.

Huang Zhong and Zhao Jin, the captains of the Xiyuan Army, as well as Zhang Yang and Xu Huang, the fake army commanders.

Northern Army generals Wang Kuang, Bao Xin, Guan Qiuyi and others were also there.

The places where the two sides stood were clearly distinct. Since the establishment of the Xiyuan Army, the Northern Army has seen several opportunities for the Northern Army to dispatch. This time, both sides were unwilling to show weakness from top to bottom.

Huangfu Song saw that their competition was within limits, so he let it go.

Zhang Yang was the first to spot Zhang Liao, and as someone who came to Beijing with him, he immediately waved to him.

His actions attracted Wang Kuang's attention, and Wang Kuang called out: "Wen Yuan, come here quickly!"

Zhang Yang stopped pretending when he saw this and also called Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao once served as a fake Sima of the Army in He Jin's General's Mansion, and was a colleague of Wang Kuangnai.

One side is a fellow villager, and the other side is a former colleague, but it is not just as simple as who is more familiar with him.

Zhang Liao just hesitated, but he noticed that Zhao Yun beside him pulled his arm forward and said as he walked: "Isn't it too blatant to want to drag Wen Yuan away in front of me?"

Compared with Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun was not familiar with either party. But his experience of serving in the East Palace and the Imperial Palace made both parties dare not underestimate him.

Seeing this, Huang Zhong and Bao Xin followed Zhao Yun's words and joked a few words.

Finally, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao stopped between the two sides.

Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang glared at each other, then turned to watch the excitement.

Speaking of which, the cause of the incident at hand was related to the imperial court sending troops.

Huangfu Song reduced the number of troops sent by the Central Army, which also meant that the number of county soldiers and Hu people's righteous followers would increase.

One of the sources of Yicong is the Qiang people who participated in farming.

For Fu Xie, the prerequisite for selecting Yi Cong is that the Qiang people who have been registered as households can continue to farm after losing one of their prime years.
