Chapter 12

After Huang Zhong smiled, his expression regained his solemn expression and said, "With Yang Hui's petite personality, this time he was fooled, he must have a grudge. With the current situation, even if the adults want to reconcile with Yang Hui, it is impossible. Attacking Du Xian is already imperative."

Wang Yan said: "Attacking Du Xian is an imperative thing. If Yang Hui offends, he will offend him. If the other party is an enemy, don't be afraid of offending him."

Huang Zhong agreed with Wang Yan's words and was still worried about the matter of sending troops.

It is not easy to win.

Suddenly, Huang Zhong thought of a possibility in his mind and said, "Sir, I have thought of a solution."

"What method?" Wang Yan said.

Huang Zhong said slowly: "The famous Yang family in Nancheng County is strong and can borrow soldiers from them. Every generation of this Yang family has people in the court and have prominent official positions. With the power of the Yang family, they have absolutely thousands of private soldiers. If the adults can borrow 600 private soldiers from the Yang family, they will have a way to defeat Du Xian."

After hearing this, Wang Yan thought about the feasibility of this suggestion.

Wang Yan had almost all the memories in his mind and the situation he knew about this life.

The Yang family's residence was named Yang Xu, who was appointed as the prefect of Nanyang County and was a veritable chief official.

Yang Xu was an honest official. Historically, during his tenure in Nanyang County, the Minister of the Prefecture saw that Yang Xu lived a simple life, so he presented a live fish to Yang Xu. Yang Xu accepted it, but hung the fish in the hall. When the Prefecture Emperor sent the fish again, Yang Xu took out the fish that had been hung before and refused to the Prefecture Emperor.

This is the origin of the allusion "Sheep and Hanging Fish".

In fact, in addition to Yang Xu's official position, the Yang family also had outstanding official positions.

Yang Xu's grandfather Yang Mi served as the Sili School Captain during Emperor An of Han; his father Yang Ru served as Taichang during Emperor Huan of Han; Yang Xu's eldest son Yang Mi is now serving as the prefect of Shangdang.

All the students are prominent and important positions.

Wang Yan knew history, and he understood that the Yang family was not only glorious now, but also glorious in the future.

Yang Xu's second son Yang Xu was appointed as the prefect of Shangdang during the Cao Wei period; Yang Dan was appointed as the Taichang period during the Cao Wei period; Yang Xu's grandson Yang Hu was appointed as the founding hero of Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of Jin, and served as the general of the Conquest of the South and was posthumously awarded the title of Taifu.

Such a family stomped their feet, let alone Nancheng County, the entire Taishan County would be in an earthquake.

If Wang Yan gets the support of the Yang family, Yan Su will not be afraid.

Yang He is a local and knows the power of the Yang family. He hurriedly said: "As Huang Hansheng said, if he can really get a relationship with the Yang family, he will be able to gain a foothold in Nancheng County."

After a pause, Yang He said again: "Sir is the county magistrate of Nancheng County, so it is reasonable to visit the Yang family. Furthermore, the Yang family wants to celebrate the birthday of Fei, the ancestor of the Yang family. Yang Xu just rushed back from Nanyang County. You go to pay a visit and have the opportunity to see Yang Xu. If you can borrow soldiers from the Yang family, it is the best result. Even if you can't borrow soldiers, you can still have a good relationship with the Yang family."

No one knows better than Wang Yan’s current strength and future potential of the Yang family.

Even if Yang He was not available, Wang Yan would definitely have to leave.

Wang Yan nodded and said, "Since everyone agreed to make friends with the Yang family, I will leave."

Yang He said: "You can't go to visit me without gifts. However, Yang Xu, a great family of the Yang family, is famous for being honest. Giving gifts is not easy, and it is very laborious. The military camp is full of swords, guns, sticks, and these cannot be put on the table or make any moves. The adult's father is a great scholar in the country, and he must have many precious books. It's better to give books to Yang Xu, which is elegant but not vulgar."

Wang Yan pondered for a while and shook his head and said, "My father came from Luoyang. In order to avoid Zhang Rang's persecution, he traveled lightly and did not bring any extra valuables. It is difficult for the collection of books at home to meet the situation."

Huang Zhong said: "Since that's the case, it's better not to bring gifts instead of giving ordinary gifts."

Yang He echoed: "I agree with General Huang's opinion."

Wang Yan thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "It is definitely not possible to have empty hands. You have to give the gift you should give. Everyone knows that Yang Xu is honest and does not accept gifts, but if I give gifts, Yang Xu happily accepts them, which will also help my current situation."

A bright light flashed in Huang Zhong's eyes and he asked, "What do you want to give me?"

Wang Yan ordered: "Prepare pen and ink, use the best pen, ink, paper and ink."

Hope rose in Huang Zhong's eyes and he immediately ordered.

Soon, the soldiers took the best pen and ink in the military camp, and then brought all the few Zuo Bo papers in the camp, carefully spreading them on Wang Yan's desk.

Wang Yan lifted up his pen and dipped it gently ink, calmly concentrating his mind.

At this time, Huang Zhong and Yang He looked at each other, and both understood that Wang Yan planned to write an article himself.

However, the two of them were worried that could the articles written by Wang Yan be able to catch Yang Xu's eyes? Yang Xu's great scholars in the country are familiar with classics and proficient in poetry and prose, and it is not easy to win Yang Xu's favor.

The two of them were suspicious, but they didn't say anything and waited quietly.

After about half a quarter of an hour, Wang Yan took a deep breath and began to write.

Three words for lifting the pen——"Lime Song"

Immediately afterwards, Wang Yan continued to write:

Thousands of hammers were chiseled out of the deep mountains, and the fire was burned as if it were easy.

Don’t be afraid of being broken, but keep your innocence in the world.

A seven-character quatrain was quickly completed under Wang Yan's writing. For a person like Yang Xu who is honest in his official position, giving away precious books is the same as money, and he cannot accept them.

The only way is to meet their preferences.

Yang Xu was an honest official, and Wang Yan considered the direction of Yang Xu being an honest official.

After reading Huang Zhong and Yang He, they read it, but their expressions were not relaxed. Huang Zhong was good at training military skills and martial arts, but he was very ordinary in literary literacy. After reading it, he had no special feelings. He looked at Yang He and saw Yang He with a confused expression on his face, and knew that Yang He was the same as him.

At this moment, both of them were uneasy.

These 30-word articles have neither gorgeous nor majestic nor high-pitched words, which makes people puzzled.

After Wang Yan finished writing, Huang Zhong tried to say, "Sir, can this article be given to Yang Xu? The Yang family’s poetry and books have been passed down from generation to generation. You have simply written dozens of words, but it is not easy to get along with each other."

Wang Yan chuckled twice and said, "I will know if I have met Yang Xu. Change your clothes and go to Yang's house."

"promise!"

Huang Zhong nodded and turned around to prepare.

Wang Yan ordered again: "Yang He, when Huang Zhong and I left the barracks, you will pay close attention to the situation in the barracks. If there is any situation, report it immediately."

Yang He said seriously: "Sir, don't worry, you must complete the task."

Wang Yan nodded slightly, and waited until the ink on Zuo Bo's paper was dried up before he carefully rolled up the Zuo Bo's paper and put it in. Then he took a carriage with Huang Zhong to Yang Mansion.
