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

Even in order to make this matter a reality, Zhang Rang might even take the initiative to ask Liu Hong for a marriage from the emperor to prevent him from messing around.And when I finally returned to Luoyang from Hedong and Taiyuan, I am afraid that many people have heard about this matter like Cao Cao before.

Although he was completely kept in the dark about this matter, Zhang Yan was not too angry. After all, both Yeer and Zhang Rang acted for their own sake.In terms of the results, Zhang Yan, Emperor Ling of Han Dynasty Liu Hong personally bestowed marriages on himself, was willing to accept 1 to [-] marriages. The bottom-up plan to reverse the reputation and finally propose marriage after the reputation improves is a bit of a waste.

Speaking of that plan, Zhang Yan remembered another very important matter.

I have also mentioned it to Cao Cao and others before, and I may not have the idea of ​​​​going to the Lujiang River with the idea of ​​​​getting close to the water first.But now that the moon has been packaged and delivered to his door, whether it is necessary to go to Lujiang has become a question that Zhang Yan has to think about.

In all fairness, Lujiang County is actually not a very good place to start, and in this era, the characteristics of many plains in the north and many water networks in the south made it impossible for Zhang Yan to train and use cavalry on a large scale in the early Lujiang River. own main force.

Although after winning Yangzhou, Zhang Yan was able to obtain a large amount of high-quality farmland that can be used for farming after reclamation, and it is a good advantage to train the navy through the water network, and even train the navy to explore the world, but it is inevitable that in the early stage of the hegemony, Zhang Yan Compared with other northern princes, the degree of participation is much worse.

"Oh, that's all, it's not a bad thing to start farming to build wonders..."

After careful consideration for a long time, Zhang Yan finally decided to go to Lujiang according to the plan, but did not make any changes in this regard.

Although there is no special significance in deliberately going to Lujiang at this time, Zhang Yan still feels that if he can bring his first wife back to the other party's hometown to live, the clothes and food will always bring a little convenience to the other party.

As for Zhang Yan himself, as a social animal who had lived in Jinling for almost ten years in his previous life, it was not that he couldn't accept the humid and cold environment in terms of climate.

If Qiaoying had a good impression of her because of these small things, it would be considered a good thing for the two who had no relationship foundation.

Furthermore, the Three Kingdoms script at the beginning of the north has the killing gameplay of the north, while the south also has its own farming style.After I went to Lujiang, because Yangzhou had not abolished history and established animal husbandry for a long time, and before Sun Ce occupied the entire Yangzhou, the governor of Yangzhou was just a false title.

Thinking about it, if he went to Lujiang as a starting point, he would receive minor restrictions from the chief executive on the changes in many things.

In addition, the influence of the Jiangdong gentry in the local area has never been as deep-rooted as those of the wealthy families in the north, and I have the old father-in-law Qiao Xuan as my endorsement. It is simpler than the start in the northern region.

Chapter 29 Father and Son

In addition to the above points, another advantage of starting an incident in Lujiang is that the distance between my old acquaintance, the Yuan family and Yuan Shu of the fourth generation and third father, is not too far away from me.

Compared with his "post-eunuch" or Liu Bei's "weaving mat and shoes", Yuan Shu, who has the Yuan family background of four generations and three lords as his background, can be said to be higher than their starting point at the beginning Not a lot.

Not only does Nanyang County have a population of more than 300 million, it is even larger than the population of some smaller states. In terms of food and other strategic material reserves, the relatively wealthy and peaceful Nanyang County is one of the best in the world. one.

If he goes to Lujiang County for development later, Zhang Yan, who needs to build a lot of wonders, will inevitably fall into a state of food shortage in the first two years.And if Yuan Shu could be his neighbor, Yuan Shu would be a relatively good choice no matter whether he borrowed grain to buy grain or borrowed troops to defend when Lu Bu swept the Central Plains.

Time passed quietly, and soon the initial entertainment of the banquet was over, and a large number of scholars and celebrities began to chat with each other in small circles.Just when Zhang Yan managed to spare a little time to look at the task rewards that the system issued to him after he had completed the task earlier, an unexpected voice appeared, which surprised him a bit.

"Yan'er, come with me."

A somewhat old voice came, and Zhang Yan looked back in surprise.In a darker corner outside the banquet, his adoptive father Zhang Rang was waving at him.

At this moment, he was not wearing the long robe that symbolized Zhongchang Attendant, on the contrary, he looked like an ordinary thin old man, not very eye-catching.

"Father, why are you here?"

Walking quickly to Zhang Rang, Zhang Yan bowed forward and asked curiously.

Although he had met Zhang Rang a few times today in the palace and during the sacrificial ceremony, since it was a public place at that time, Hanling Emperor Liu Hong was also present, so Zhang Yan did not have the opportunity to communicate with his adoptive father.

But when the sacrifice was completed and Zhang Yan finally got out, Zhang Rang had already followed Hanling Emperor Liu Hong back to the palace, so he never had the chance to see his adoptive father alone.

It was very late to tell the truth at this moment, and Zhang Yan himself had already greeted everyone present one by one, and he already had the idea of ​​leaving.But he didn't expect Zhang Rang to appear here in plain clothes at this moment, which immediately surprised him.

Hearing his inquiry, Zhang Rang didn't say much, just motioned him to follow him, and walked out of the hall slowly.

Today's banquet was originally due to Zhang Yan's award, so as usual, the scholars in Luoyang City were invited to have a feast.On the one hand, holding a banquet in the Eastern Han Dynasty was itself a better way to gain fame for himself. On the other hand, he also had plans to reward his subordinates.

At present, the generals under his command, basically the officers above the centurion, have been arranged by him to eat and drink in a group of boxes in his own restaurant.And following behind Zhang Rang, Zhang Yan was surprised to find that he had come to a relatively luxurious box.

If he remembers correctly, this box was specially arranged by him for several high-ranking generals under his command, especially Yang Feng and others to use it for dining and drinking. They were not mixed with the group of local scholars in Luoyang City.But now Zhang Rang actually brought him here, which inevitably surprised him a little.

"Yan'er, a few days ago you took people out to fight the bandits, did the journey go smoothly?"

It seemed that Zhang Rang spoke first as if looking for something to say, Zhang Rang looked at his adopted son with a little kindness in his eyes.Naturally, he has already learned about the various stories of Zhang Yan's business through various channels, but now there are only two people present, and that is the family chat between father and son. Something is different.

He simply said a few words to Zhang Rang, but Zhang Yan naturally didn't mention the hardships and dangers he encountered in this line of work, but only told him that he had a safe journey, and at the same time gathered a lot of yellow turban soldiers for his own use.Hearing Zhang Yan's words, Zhang Rang also nodded in satisfaction, and did not criticize Zhang Yan's behavior in any way, and just responded softly to Zhang Yan's peace.

In this troubled world, human life is the least valuable thing.Don't say that Zhang Yan has now gathered an army of 20 soldiers under his command. If he wants to, as long as he does not openly declare war on the big Han as a Marquis of Wan, he will not be able to gather [-] soldiers. Some people say that he is half of it.

But now that Zhang Yan will go to Lujiang to take up his post in the near future, with some soldiers accompanying him, Zhang Rang can feel more at ease in his heart.

Slightly pursing his lips, Zhang Rang continued to ask and answer Zhang Yan after looking at Zhang Yan's eyes.

"After a while, you will go to Lujiang to take up your post. Do you have any plans?"

Shen Sheng asked Zhang Yanfa, Zhang Rang looked at the other person's eyes flickering slightly, wondering what he was thinking.Naturally, Zhang Yan told Zhang Rang his general plan honestly, and at the same time asked the other party to give advice on his plan.

Different from Cao Cao and others, although Zhang Rang and his relationship are righteous father and son, except for a certain maverick general, the relationship between most righteous fathers and sons in this era is relatively harmonious and close, which is more than usual. The father and son are not much different.

Now that Zhang Rang asked him about his future plans, Zhang Yan naturally did not hide anything, so he gave a general account of his plans to reclaim the southern wasteland and build water conservancy, and at the same time slightly mentioned that after he obtained enough food , to further absorb the population and train enough troops.

Even he can see that the Eastern Han Dynasty today is a behemoth on the verge of collapse.In this gigantic body, the eunuch forces headed by Shi Changshi and the foreign relatives headed by He Jin and He Shi have already been on fire, and it is possible to tear their skins apart and start a formal war at any time.

If Zhang Rang really fell out with He Jin in the future, the more resources Zhang Yan could control, the more hopeful he would be to keep Zhang Rang, Jian Shuo and others safe.

Seeing that Zhang Yan already had his own plan, Zhang Rang also showed a gratified expression at this moment, and did not point fingers at Zhang Yan's future.

Chapter 30 May wish to strike first

"Since you already have a plan in mind, you won't mention it any more as a father."

Smiling and shaking his head, Zhang Rang said to the young figure opposite.Just as if he remembered something, he couldn't help but uttered aloud, and repeatedly ordered in the direction of Zhang Yan:

"It's just Yan'er, when you arrive in Lujiang, it will be no different than in Luoyang now. Everything and everything will be supported by your father. You must pay more attention to yourself when doing things, and put your own safety as the first priority in everything."

"The Jiangdong area is remote and chaotic, and the imperial court's ability to control it has not been very strong. The famous families in the area do not pay too much attention to the eunuch appointed by the Han court."

"Although you have the Qiao family as your support, Yan'er, I think the other party will not be too embarrassing for you on the bright side, but if you go out, remember to have someone to accompany you."

The old voice spoke slowly, and Zhang Yan naturally knew that Zhang Rang was thinking about his own safety, so he wrote them down one by one, and promised that he would pay more attention.

Seeing Zhang Yan's attitude, Zhang Rang's expression became a little relieved.

After a while, he said with some emotion:

"Yan'er, I think it's been less than half a year since I adopted you as a foster son. Although I had thought of finding suitable help from outside the imperial court, I didn't expect that you would be able to do so in just half a year. It has come to this point in a short time, and it has become a great help for my father in the court."

"Now that you are a Marquis who sits in charge of the emperor, if I get old in the future and have no suitable place to go, I can go under your rule for the elderly, and you will die for me."

"It's just a pity that my father has served three generations of monarchs all his life, and his loyalty can learn from the sun and the moon, but he still has the reputation of being a troublemaker when he gets old. I hope you can pay more attention to it. By then, don't mess around too badly. Even as a father There is no way to protect it."

Talking with some emotion, Zhang Rang didn't know whether he was simply chatting with his adoptive son Zhang Yan, or was using these words to imply something to the other party.It's just that Zhang Yan has already thought in his heart at this moment that in the future, if the Eastern Han Dynasty continues to develop as it is now, Zhang Rang will inevitably end up with nowhere to go, and even be forced to commit suicide by jumping into a well by a group of disciples from aristocratic families. There was a sense of urgency.

The current time is 188 A.D., which is June of the fifth year of Zhongping, and there is still about a year before the sudden death of Hanling Emperor Liu Hong.To be honest, if Zhang Yan really wants to provide shelter for Zhang Rang, Zhongchang Attendant in the future, there is not much time left for him.

Nodding and responding to what Zhang Rang said one by one, Zhang Yan chatted with Zhang Rang at the door of the private room like this.

After about ten minutes passed, the door of the private room that had been tightly closed was suddenly opened, and an eunuch in plain clothes stood at the door, looking in the direction of the two of them.

"Marquis of the Kingdom of Wan, would you please?"

Making an inviting gesture in the direction of Zhang Yan, the eunuch greeted Zhang Rang, the permanent attendant, and then stood quietly at the door without saying anything.When Zhang Yan saw the man let him in, he felt a little puzzled.

"Father, is this?"

Looking at Zhang Rang's figure in some puzzlement, Zhang Yan couldn't help asking.He thought that Zhang Rang came here today just to tell him something, but he didn't expect that there would be other servants from the palace now.If he guessed correctly, seeing the respectful but fearless look in this person's eyes when facing Zhang Rang, he might be one of the other ten servants.

"Go, Yan'er."

Lifting his chin in the direction of Zhang Yan, Zhang Rang turned around with his hands behind his back and walked towards the outside of the room.Then the old voice sounded again, explaining to Zhang Yan.

"This time, the Son of Heaven has something to say and wants to find you. As a father, I won't go in and get involved too much."

"Before you came back, you hadn't rewarded your generals. The emperor heard that Jian Shuo said that you had surrendered many yellow turban generals this afternoon, so he went in first to get to know them, and rewarded some gold and silver. Jewelry as a reward for their return."

"Because these generals are your retainers, the emperor can't directly reward them with some official positions. Now that you are a Marquis of the Kingdom of Wan, you are qualified to reward your subordinates."

"As for the specific matters, you can make arrangements by yourself when the time comes."

Chattering nonstop, Zhang Rang soon found that once he instructed his adopted son Zhang Yan, it seemed as if he had endless words.

He stopped his voice in time, Zhang Rang thought for a while, and still sighed lightly, and let Zhang Yan go in first, while he walked to the distance and left the vicinity of this private room.

"This……"

Looking at the somewhat aged figure of his adoptive father, Zhang Yan opened his mouth, suddenly not knowing what to say.Zhang Yan was very grateful for Zhang Rang's previous actions, as well as his care and protection.At the same time, he also made a secret decision again. He must gain enough strength as soon as possible, so that after the real conflict between the ten permanent attendants and He Jin broke out in the future, Zhang Rang would not be so depressed that he had nowhere to go. Into the deep well in the palace.

"Father--"

Suddenly calling Zhang Rang, Zhang Yan thought of all the things just now, and did not go directly into the private room to meet the emperor, but quickly chased in Zhang Rang's direction.

"Father……"

Turning around in doubt, Zhang Rang still had a trace of doubts about Zhang Yan's behavior on his face. He didn't know that Zhang Yan didn't go in to meet the emperor this time, and he suddenly stopped him because he had something important to do.Unexpectedly by Zhang Rang, Zhang Yan stretched out his hand, and carefully wiped off the wrinkles of his regular uniform, and at the same time smiled softly.

"Father, you should also pay more attention to your health, and don't overwork yourself on weekdays."

Smiling at Zhang Rang's figure, Zhang Yan didn't say much, but told Zhang Rang some small things in daily life.While talking, he inevitably mentioned the upcoming conflict between his adoptive father and He Jin and others in the future.

"Also, if father has any conflicts with General He in the future, he might as well choose..."

"Maybe you can choose to strike first?"

Suddenly, Zhang Rang's old voice interrupted what Zhang Yan was about to say.Before Zhang Yan had time to be surprised, he saw his adoptive father waving his hand and walking towards a distant direction with a smile.

"You boy, I don't love you in vain on weekdays."

"Go back quickly, don't think that you are already an official to a prefect, and you are even a noble..."

"Chihiro" 0 Lu ㈧ Wu б[-] [-] ③

"In this world of big men, there is no need for you, a junior, to teach me how to do things."

The figure in the distance didn't seem to be as old as before. Looking at the gradually taller figure of his adoptive father, Zhang Yan finally didn't say anything, and just followed the eunuch back to the previous private room. Inside.

Chapter 31 Why do the people in the world live in poverty?

Following the eunuch into the room, Zhang Yan only saw a group of his subordinates sitting obediently on both sides of the hall, and at the main seat, Emperor Han Ling was talking to everyone present with a smile. What.

Seeing Zhang Yan coming in, the eyes of everyone present fell on him immediately, and the slight chatter before was also much quieter.

"I have seen my lord."

All the generals greeted Zhang Yan one by one, and they got up quite consciously and walked out from the side door.Seeing Zhang Yan coming in, Liu Hong also kindly pointed to the seat beside him, and asked the eunuch to close the door, leaving only Liu Hong and Zhang Yan in the room.

"Wan Guohou, sit down."

Smiling and wiping his sparse beard, Liu Hong at night was no longer as full of imperial majesty as before, and his breath became more kind than before.And Zhang Yan didn't know if it was because of his own illusion. He had no idea during the day, but when it was night now, he discovered that Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty in front of him, was actually younger than the previous old appearance. A lot younger, as if returning to the physical state of a middle-aged man in his 40s or [-]s.

"The end will see the emperor."
