Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

"Patriarch Wei, to tell you the truth, I have indeed received the emperor's order to come here to suppress the bandits. It's just that the city walls in Anyi are strong now, and there are many yellow scarf soldiers in the city. I don't know where the Patriarch started talking about dedicating the city to destroy the bandits?"

Not only was he not attracted by the other party's words, but Zhang Yan felt that something was wrong.

How to dedicate the city?How to suppress bandits?

Is Wei Ke's attitude towards him too strange?

As if nothing had happened, Zhang Yan drank the tea provided by the servant, and Zhang Yan kept thinking.

After all, Wei Ji is also the patriarch of the Hedong Wei family. According to Zhang Yan's understanding of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the other party can already be said to be a representative of the noble family of this era.

If he had such a prominent background as Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, then Wei Ke would be more respectful towards him, and it would be understandable for him to take the initiative to post back.It’s just that Zhang Yan knew that, regardless of the fact that he was able to pull up an army of nearly [-] people at the beginning, when it comes to his background, or his status in the eyes of those gentry, Zhang Yan can be said to be better than his peers. After the eunuch, Cao Cao still has some shortcomings.

The two words "after the eunuch" and "disaster and chaos" are specifically used to describe the stereotype of Zhang Yan in the eyes of those aristocratic families.

In addition, since he came to the Eastern Han Dynasty, in addition to making wonders and building restaurants, other industries are mostly ordinary shops such as wine shops and tailor shops. Zhang Yan feels that the entire gentry class should not have a good impression of him.

Even though the Hedong Wei family is not as long-established and long-standing as the Hongnong Yang family and the Yingchuan Chen family, the other party is by no means an existence like the Jiangdong gentry who is an expert in internal friction and an outsider in fighting outside, and can be easily crushed by Zhang Yan through money offensives. .

Thinking of this, Zhang Yan couldn't help feeling vigilant.

"Patriarch Wei, you also know that although I am a general conferred by the Han court, I am only a partial general, and I don't deserve such treatment from the Wei family."

"We Ming people don't talk dark words. I am the adopted son of Zhang Rang, the current Zhongchang servant. Everyone in the world can't wait to skin my adoptive father. Why are the Wei family willing to do the opposite and help me break the city and destroy the bandits? ?”

Zhang Yan looked at Wei Ke who was sitting next to him with a serious face, and the head of the Wei family on the other side obviously didn't expect that Zhang Yan would use such a straightforward way to reveal his background, and suddenly laughed .

"It's a good man who doesn't speak dark words, but General Zhang is free and easy. Thinking about it this way, the old man is a little self-righteous."

"Since this is the case, then the old man will not talk too much, and I will leave it to Zhao Ji to explain the general's confusion, so as not to worry the general."

After clapping his hands, Wei Ke suddenly raised his voice and shouted towards the door:

"Zhaoji, don't stand still, come in quickly."

With the sound of pushing the door, Zhang Yan realized that he had been focusing on Wei Ji, a frail middle-aged man, and hadn't noticed a figure standing at the door.

"Cai Yan met the general."

A gentle voice came, and Zhang Yan saw the thin figure push the door and enter, and then stood gracefully in front of him.

The slender hands are folded in front of the chest, the right hand is on top and the left hand is on the bottom.The other party did not choose to curtsy, which is commonly used by women in the Han Dynasty, but slightly nodded and bowed to Zhang Yan.

"The general came from a long way, and I hope you will forgive me if I miss you."

"Ah—I've seen everyone Cai."

Hurrying to get up from the ground, Zhang Yan cupped his fists and bowed vigorously to the opponent's figure.

……

As early as when Wei Ji introduced himself, Zhang Yan passed through Hedong Wei's house, and immediately thought of Cai Zhaoji, a talented woman who is famous in China and has a long history.But what he didn't expect was that the other party was still staying at the Wei family in Hedong at this time, and did not leave Wei's house and return to Luoyang as recorded in the history books.

Facing this woman who has left a strong mark in the entire Chinese literary world, Zhang Yan feels respect and even respect from the bottom of his heart.

Unlike Diao Chan and Zhen Mi, who are famous in history for their beauty, Cai Yan is famous in history not only because of her elegant and dignified appearance, but also because she has a talent and character that are not inferior to any male of the time.

Even though she has encountered great suffering and misfortune many times in her life, she still maintains the high-spirited will like a green pine.

It can be said that Cai Yan is using her whole life to demonstrate what it means to be strong.

Looking up at this famous talented woman in the late Eastern Han Dynasty silently, Zhang Yan looked very carefully, as if he wanted to keep every detail of her in his heart.It's just that as time passed, he suddenly felt a strange look on him.

"Cough cough..."

Beside him, Wei Ke coughed slightly, and Zhang Yan immediately withdrew his gaze, and at the same time looked at Cai Yan with an apology.

"Sorry, sorry."

Zhang Yan apologized softly to the two, but Cai Yan was not annoyed, as if he was used to such gazes.

She first saluted to her late husband's brother, then knelt down and sat on the other side of Zhang Yan, without any intention of blaming Zhang Yan.

"General Zhang didn't know something. My father sent me a letter a few days ago..."

The three of them had already sat down, Cai Yan glanced deeply at Zhang Yan who was still hiding his predicament, and then spoke slowly.

No.16 Chapter Unintentional

"Father said in the letter that he received a lot of care from Zhang Chang Shi in Luoyang, and Chang Shi came forward to settle many troubles for him."

"This time he heard that General Zhang, you led the army to Hedong to suppress the bandits, so he sent me a letter, hoping that I could persuade the Wei family to come together and provide you with convenience.

Slowly speaking, Cai Yan seemed to be very grateful to Zhang Rang for his help to his father Cai Yong, and even his attitude towards Zhang Yan was kind and close.It can be said that Zhang Rang's unintentional small behavior at the beginning changed the fate of Cai Yong, a great Confucian family, and allowed him to return to his hometown of Luoyang several years in advance, ending his life of fleeing and fleeing.

"For a long time, Yan thought that the eunuchs in the court were arbitrarily monopolizing power, and now it is a serious problem for the Han court. But I don't want to be among the eunuchs, there are people like Zhang Changshi who can clearly judge right from wrong and keep the overall situation in check."

"Perhaps my father was persecuted by eunuchs in his early years and had to flee far away with his younger sister. But now Zhang Changshi travels thousands of miles to find his father, not only to avenge his wrongdoing in Luoyang, but also to liquidate the main envoys one by one. "

"Zhang Changshi has shown great kindness to my father, and even to my Cai family. My Cai family's ancestral training is to distinguish between gratitude and resentment, and to repay kindness. Although Yan is a woman, she should do her best to help the general."

After finishing speaking, Cai Yan bowed slightly and bowed to Zhang Yan again, and Zhang Yan naturally hurriedly supported the other's wrist, and at the same time, he also had a clear understanding of the motives of the Wei family's behavior.

Speaking of it, Wei Ji is willing to help him in this way now, all because of the subtle influence that he has unintentionally produced in this era of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Back then, Zhang Yan had just worshiped Zhang Rang, the permanent servant of the Central Committee, as his adoptive father, and Zhang Rang had the plan to give Zhang Yan a name.

It's just that although Zhang Rang was born in Yingchuan County, which has a very strong cultural atmosphere, he entered the palace since he was a child and did not receive any perfect education, so he came up with the idea of ​​seeking help from today's Confucian masters.

Zhang Rang, Deng Xuan, Lu Zhi, Ma Rong, and others have actually looked for him, but because of his reputation in the scholar group, these people don't even want to meet him, let alone show up for him. Zhang Rang's adopted son gave the letter.

In desperation, Zhang Rang, who was hated by these great scholars, could only launch his own money offensive, and began to look for those who had real talents and learning from all over the world, but at the same time had no attitude towards him. Such bad scholars and celebrities.

After three searches and two searches, Cai Yong, who was fleeing with his youngest daughter in Jiangnan and Jingzhou, was dug out by Zhang Rang.

In terms of learning, Cai Yong is one of the best contemporary scholars, and he must have the level to bestow calligraphy on Zhang Yan.

In terms of reputation, although Cai Yong is not as good as Zheng Xuan and Lu Zhi, he is still well-known all over the world, and he is comparable to Ma Ru.

Such an old man with a treasure was found by himself, Zhang Rang was naturally unwilling to give up, and immediately launched an offensive against Cai Yong.

What?The house is dilapidated?

It's a small idea, the mansion with three entrances and three exits in Luoyang has been prepared for you in advance. As long as you are willing to help, you can take your daughter to settle down in Luoyang directly, without having to suffer from homelessness.

What?Long-cherished wish?

Ask me what Zhang Rang is doing. I just want to study the history of the Han Dynasty. I can not only realize your ideal, let you preside over the compilation of the history of the Han Dynasty, but also allow other people to include you in the annals of history, so that your name will last forever , Live forever.

What?Are you persecuted by others, or by eunuchs?

Zhang Rang turned his head and found those colleagues who persecuted Cai Yong one by one, carefully cut them into sausages, and put them in boxes.

Everything was ready, Zhang Rang made an appointment with Lu Qiang, the middle servant who had helped Cai Yong and was kind to Cai Yong in the past, for the sake of insurance, so he ran all the way to Jingzhou with the box to make amends to Cai Yong.

If Cai Yong, who had never experienced ups and downs, saw Zhang Rang a few years earlier, his attitude towards him might not be much better than that of Zheng Xuan and the others.

It's just that now that Cai Yong has been wandering with his daughter for so many years, he has seen all the heat and suffering in the world, and the edges and corners in his heart have been smoothed.At this moment, encountering Zhang Rang's battle, and seeing Lu Qiang who desperately wrote to protect him, he naturally recalled those past events.

With a soft heart, Cai Yong complied with Zhang Rang's request.

After that, it was Cai Yong who bestowed the word "De Mao" on Zhang Yan, and then returned to Luoyang with his youngest daughter Cai Zhenji, and his dreary life gradually settled down.

……

"So that's the case, it seems that I am a little too worried."

After figuring out the joints, Zhang Yan naturally no longer doubted, but developed a sincere affection and respect for the two people in front of him, especially Wei Ke, the head of the Wei family.

Unlike Cai Yan, who has an actual relationship with his own family, the Hedong Wei family can be said to rely entirely on Cai Yan's persuasion, and choose to bring their own dry food to help themselves.

Although I don't know how the other party said Xiancheng to suppress the bandits, but thinking about coming to the Wei family also took a lot of risks and losses.

"Patriarch Wei and Master Cai are so noble and virtuous, but they can be regarded as models of the times, and they are worth learning from Zhang."

Straightening up, Zhang Yan looked at Wei Ke beside him, suddenly folded his hands in front of his chest, bowed at ninety degrees, and made a big salute to Wei Ke.

This is second only to the etiquette of Jishou ceremony when meeting the emperor. Zhang Yan saluted Wei Ke sincerely at this moment, precisely because he could feel that the other party's decision was made entirely out of patriotism. And his sense of responsibility as a gentry and as a manager of the people at the bottom.

Recalling that he thought that the patriotism of the Eastern Han Dynasty had not yet developed, Zhang Yan also felt that he seemed to have underestimated the ancient ancestors.

Perhaps in terms of material living standards, the conditions of the ancestors still need to be improved.But in terms of spiritual construction, these well-educated ancestors are not inferior to any of the later generations.

"Why does General Zhang perform such a great gift, the old man deserves it."

Reaching out to help Zhang Yan up, Wei Yan looked at him with a smile and said:

"Speaking of which, the more I understand General Zhang's actions, the more I feel ashamed."

"In the past, the old man only knew how to reject and boycott, but never really did anything for the common people. I think he is no different from that ordinary scholar. It is far worse than General Zhang, who has devoted himself to leading troops to suppress bandits and serving the country at a young age."

"As the Patriarch of the Hedong Wei family, the old man should contribute his own strength to the Han court if he thinks about it."

After all, Wei Ji took a meaningful look at Zhang Yan.Zhang Yan naturally understood what the other party said was true and sincere, and he wasn't flattering him, so he didn't try to evade it, just clasped his hands together, and made a solemn promise to Wei Ke and Cai Yan:

"Zhang is ashamed of receiving the kindness of the two of you today. If he has the opportunity in the future, he will do his best to repay it!"

No.17 Chapter Xu Huang.lily.alter.santa

"Hehe, the general is serious."

Smiling and waving his hands, Wei Ji did not continue on this topic, but signaled Zhang Yan not to say more, and handed him a roll of white cloth in his arms.

After taking the white cloth, Zhang Yan only glanced at it after unfolding it, and was attracted by the content on the white cloth.

It was a topographic map of Anyi County as a whole, and it clearly recorded the daily deployment time and deployment positions of the Yellow Turban soldiers.Even the specific strength of the troops and the strength of the relevant generals are clearly recorded on it.

"Yellow Turban Commander: Yang Feng"

"Strength: second-rate"

"Native place: Yang County, Hedong"

……

"Yellow Turban General: Xu Huang"

"Strength: the pinnacle of the third rate"

"Native place: Yang County, Hedong"

……

Seeing a familiar name, Zhang Yan raised his eyebrows suddenly.
