Ping An Biography

After returning from the capital, Xizuo returned to Le'an to report the situation, and the capital had requisitioned horses from common people's homes to make up for the shortage of the army, and after there were signs of a large-scale expedition, Zhu Heng presented Zhang Ning's call to the King of Han.At this time, the capital and Le'an were in conflict, and this slightly aggressive statement was foolproof.Sure enough, the king of Han praised Zhu Heng's loyalty in public, and ordered that the call to action be circulated throughout the city, and all the troops were ordered to prepare.

At this time, Lao Xu was "hospitalized by a good student" at Zhu Heng's mansion and couldn't get away.After returning home, Zhu Heng asked him, it's fine if he doesn't want to reveal who the person who wrote the article behind the scenes is, but he doesn't know what the person's intentions are for doing this?If he wanted to be appreciated in front of the King of Han, Zhu Heng promised to help introduce a talent for the King of Han.

Old Xu didn't know what to ask, and his words were cautious.

Zhu Heng planned to let him go back to spread the word, and wrote a letter, in which he expressed his appreciation for Zhang Ning's talent, and wanted to invite him to meet him in Le'an, and promised to treat Yunyun with courtesy.

With Zhu Heng's instructions, Lao Xu left Le'an City safely. After confirming that he was not being followed, he returned to Zhuangzi where Zhang Ning was located. <Mei, Lao Xu and others went to the study for a secret discussion. While carefully reading Zhu Heng's letter, he asked Lao Xu: "Have you discovered the strategy of the King of Han...that is, what should they do in the general direction, whether to go south or go straight for it?" Capital?"

Old Xu shook his head and said: "After I saw Zhu Heng, I was watched all the time. Before he agreed with me to come back and report, I couldn't even leave for half a step, and I didn't find out anything. But when I came back|passed through the city, I noticed The mobilization of soldiers and horses is more frequent, and maybe the capital is going to send troops to suppress the rebellion."

Zhang Ning handed the letter in his hand to the people around him, paced back and forth in front of the book case, and said in a deep thought: "Based on my article, my understanding of the court and officialdom, and the rules of writing, Zhu Heng can definitely guess I'm an officer. Shall I venture into town to see him?"

Peach Blossom Fairy hurriedly persuaded: "The Jianghu is dangerous, and Le'an City is even more dangerous than the Jianghu at this time. Once my lord enters the city, the imperial army will surround the city. How can I get out?"

Zhang Ning said: "If the officers and soldiers have entered Shandong, the King of Han has not taken any action yet, and the general situation is over. Why should we wait for the time to besiege the city?"

Peach Blossom Fairy said: "After seeing Zhu Heng, if we don't reveal our real identity and let Zhu Heng trust him, he probably won't trust a person whose origin is unknown; if we reveal our identity, will he arrest him in a hurry? Let us make up in front of Zhu Zhanji?"

"He is a core planner who participated in the King of Han's rebellion, what crime can he take against me, even ten Zhang Ping'an can't make up for Zhu Heng's treasonous crime." Zhang Ning said.

Old Xu also followed suit.Zhang Ning was silent, and suddenly saw a butterfly stuck on the window paper, fluttering its wings half-deadly, he was interested in looking at the butterfly for a while, and was dazed.

Seeing this, everyone temporarily stopped talking, and looked at him and the small animals on the window in puzzlement.

After a while, Zhang Ning looked back at a few people, pointed at the butterfly and said, "There is a saying that a butterfly flapping its wings here may cause a big storm in the East China Sea... To put it far, you may think it is Strange talk. But I think it’s worth taking the risk to meet Zhu Heng, maybe it’s because I influenced Zhu Heng a little bit, and then Zhu Heng influenced the decision of the King of Han, resulting in a completely different result. Once the King of Han collapses..."

He paused, and said in a seemingly calm tone: "The woman will not go, you wait here."

Everyone knows that he has made a decision, and it is useless to persuade him.At this moment, Wenjun said: "I'll go too... Grandpa and my boss are both in Le'an, so what's the point of me staying?"

Zhang Ning glanced at her and said, "You can live with Peach Blossom Fairy and the others."

The time to make a decision was very short, and Zhang Ning showed the greatest courage. Adventure can sometimes be called bravery?But brave people are not fearless, at least Zhang Ning is not. He ordered to set off early tomorrow morning, but at night he was so scared that he lost sleep.A besieged city, in his eyes, is it not a place of narrow escape?The various dangers that may be encountered and how to deal with them are calculated in the mind.But the plan may be just for self-comfort.

He thought: Maybe everyone is taking risks, the only difference is the length of the danger.Short-term danger, such as going to a besieged city now, the fear is more intense; but avoiding danger and hiding in a corner is not a kind of slow suicide?

With no living space and no place to stand, he will really feel that he is slowly falling and decaying.If you don't struggle to your death, the reborn life will be worse than the previous life.Without even a legal identity, he will soon become a loser.Maybe you can live without a sense of security, maybe you will be murdered by some people. In an illegal world, it is easier for a guilty person to get rid of the sanctions of the rules.

Early the next morning, Zhang Ning found a clean blue collared robe from his luggage, and replaced it with a white lining.Although it is Hanfu, he is more comfortable with this kind of dressing, a bit like the suit worn in the previous life, at least the color and feel can be compared.He didn't sleep well last night, but he was still in good spirits after some preparations, and he tried his best to keep himself in a better state.

The women's reluctance and blurred eyes shrouded the sadness of parting in this strange manor. At this moment, Zhang Ning felt better. The emotions of poetry and literature created by the predecessors and the present for no reason are the cause of many meaningless things. endowed with meaning.

A group of four riders walked along the small road with crops on both sides to the main road, and it was not far to ride to Le'an City.The roads on the northern plains are relatively wide and flat, but they are all dirt roads, the climate is relatively dry, and there is a lot of dust under the horseshoes.The four of them were silent along the way, and neither Xu nor Jiang had a single complaint.

In less than half a day, a city on flat ground appeared in sight.At the end of the farmland, the water of the moat glistens, and the city tower looks taller on the flat ground.Zhang Ning, who had been in the natural and peaceful environment for a few days, seemed to have smelled the dense population.The city is the center of the vast land. When people live here, the human beings seem to become stronger, because any catastrophe is shared by many people.

After getting closer, you can see armed soldiers on the wall and rows of guards at the gate of the city. Sure enough, the appearance of Le'an City is full of the atmosphere of war, even though the fields outside the city are still peaceful.Old Xu said loudly: "Master Zhu gave me a warrant before sending someone to send me away. Let's enter through the south gate. Maybe the sergeant guarding the gate will recognize me."
