Chapter 57 The identity of the old man
Black Golden Snake Spear!
This was given to Wang Lei by the old man, and Zhang Yan mentioned asking about the old things about the Taiping Army. When Zhang Yan opened her mouth, she was the black-gold snake spear used by Wang Lei. There was no doubt that there was a great relationship between the two.
Could it be...
Wang Lei took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and replied: "The black golden snake spear was given by his elders."
Zhang Yan's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked again: "Where is the martial arts used by the county magistrate? I led the army to siege Wuji County that day. Who taught the tricks of the black-gold snake spear used by the county magistrate?"
Wang Lei replied: "Teaching from elders!"
Zhang Yan's heart was excited and asked, "What is the name of the elder of the county magistrate?"
Wang Lei shook his head and said, "I don't know!"
"What? Impossible."
Zhang Yan felt incredible, with a slightly cold expression and a slightly stiff tone, "Since the elders of the county magistrate gave weapons and taught martial arts, how could he not know the elder's name? The black-gold snake spear and this set of martial arts are of extraordinary value and common relationship, so it is absolutely impossible to get it. Could it be that the county magistrate thinks that Zhang Yan is joking, so he deliberately lied to deceive Zhang Yan?"
Bai Luo took a deep breath and said seriously: "Please rest assured that the general is not malicious. If the general really wants to attack Wuji County, the general will directly order the army to attack the city on the day the county magistrate took office, instead of leading the army to withdraw. I think the general would not think that your high martial arts skills shocked the general, right? No matter how high the martial arts skills are, the manpower is limited in the end, and it is impossible to stop the army under the general. The reason for withdrawing troops is because of the black-gold snake spear in the hands of the county magistrate and the martial arts they use. The general should understand it."
Wang Lei took a deep breath, feeling full of gratitude.
It turned out that this was the reason why Zhang Yan led his army to retreat that day. If the old man had not given him a black-gold snake spear before coming to Wuji County, the consequences would be unimaginable. All this was not thrilling when he didn't know the truth. Only after he knew the truth would he understand the danger of the day.
Just a little bit, it's completely over.
Fortunately! Lucky!
Wang Lei shrugged and replied seriously: "Standle Zhang, I really don't know the old man's name. The only thing I know is that the old man's surname is Du, and I don't know anything else."
"How old?"
Zhang Yan leaned forward and asked hurriedly.
"About sixty!"
“What is the figure?”
"Slim, not tall, and looks very ordinary."
"Okay, okay, okay, it must be Zhenren Du, it must be Zhenren Du." Zhang Yan couldn't help but shout loudly and asked excitedly: "Dare you ask Wang County Magistrate, where is Zhenren Du?"
Wang Lei replied: "Just at home!"
brush!!
Zhang Yan stood up excitedly, and felt even more turbulent.
Wang Lei was even more confused. It seemed that the old man’s identity was extraordinary!
Zhang Yan said nervously: "Please inform Wang County Magistrate, and say that Chu Yan is under Zhang Niujiao's tent and ask for a meeting." Chu Yan was Zhang Yan's original name. Before Zhang Niujiao died, Zhang Yan used the name Chu Yan. It was not until Zhang Niujiao died that he was elected as the commander of the Black Mountain Army and changed his name to Zhang Yan, which has continued to this day.
Zhang Yan asked Wang Lei to communicate with him, but he was quite nervous in his words, as if a student saw the teacher, and as if a commoner suddenly saw the head of state, his excited and nervous expression was beyond words.
Seeing this, Wang Lei had already confirmed that the old man's identity was extraordinary. If Zhang Yan was like this, Mr. Du probably had a story in the Taiping Army.
Wang Lei stood up and said, "You guys wait a moment, I'll inform the old man."
He got up and left the study room, Bai Lu asked nervously: "Master, will the real person meet us?"
Zhang Yan said, "I believe it will."
The two of them were in the study, waiting quietly for news from Wang Lei.
Wang Lei came to the old man's yard. At this time, the old man's room was still on, and there was no rest yet. Wang Lei came outside the room and knocked on the door and said, "Old man! It's me."
"Come in!"
An old voice rang in the room.
Wang Lei pushed open the door and walked in, with a respectful expression and said, "Old man, Zhang Yan, Bai Lu came to the county government office and asked me about the black golden snake spear and you, and I want to see you."
The old man froze, suddenly sighed softly, and said, "Please come in!"
Wang Lei turned around and left, and the old man sighed softly.
Soon, Wang Lei, Zhang Yan and Bai Luo came to the room. After seeing the old man, Zhang Yan paused for a moment, then took two steps in a row, came to the old man, bowed to the ground, and said respectfully: "Zhang Yan has seen a real person!"
Bai Luoyi copied it and said, "Bai Luo has seen the real person!"
The old man waved his hand and said, "Sit all, I am no longer a real person. The one who sits in front of you is just a rotten old man who is about to die. He is not worthy of such courtesy of Marshal Zhang."
Wang Lei sat next to him, wondering.
At this moment, Wang Lei has confirmed that the old man is the Yellow Turban, but the problem is that the old man has had an experience in joining the army. What's going on? Wang Lei's mind is confused and can't figure out what's going on.
The old man noticed Wang Lei's doubts and slowly explained: "Hutou, what you know about me is true. I joined the army in my early years and resisted the Huns in the north. Later, I was tired of the filthy military camp and left the army. Later, I met Zhang Jiao, a great wise and good teacher, who followed Zhang Jiao to raise an army, hoping to give the people a bright world."
Speaking of this, the old man looked regretful and said helplessly: "It's a pity that shortly after the gathering, I found that Zhang Jiao had gradually changed. He no longer had the original intention of serving the country and the people, but instead allowed his troops to rob the people everywhere. Zhang Jiao and I had a dispute. In addition, I had different opinions on some policies and policies at that time. The conflict deepened. I left the Taiping Army and came to Ye County to settle down. Soon after, I took you in, and you knew everything that followed."
After hearing this, Wang Lei understood.
The old man beside him is also a very tough person.
Unfortunately, it has not left a single mark in history.
Zhang Yan continued: "The real person has extraordinary martial arts skills, a black golden snake spear is invincible, and the real person's strategy is always perfect, which is very helpful to the Yellow Turban Army at that time. Unfortunately, the real person left too early. If the real person had not left that year, the Taiping Army would not have been wiped out by the government and fell to its current position."
A gleam flashed in the old man's eyes, and he shook his head and said, "Even if I stayed, I would not be able to avoid the failure. At most, I would have a dry bone. At that time, the strategy formulated by Zhang Jiao was wrong, without foundation, losing the people's hearts, and offending the powerful clan at that time, facing heavy pressure, the Taiping Army had no chance of winning. Even if I stayed, I would be unable to turn things around."
Zhang Yan agreed with the old man's statement, changed the subject and said, "Zhang Yan begged the real person to come out of the mountain. I am willing to give up the position of commander of the Black Mountain Army, and the army under the commander of the real person will take us to fight the world again."
The old man shook his head and chuckled, "I'm so old that I'm not going to have any more trouble. I can live my life, spend my last days safely, and watch Tiger Head achieve a career, and there's no regrets."
Obviously, the old man treated Wang Lei as a relative.
Wang Lei chuckled and said, "Don't worry, old man, Wang Lei will definitely not disappoint your expectations."
After a pause, Wang Lei's eyes turned and fell on Zhang Yan, and said with a smile: "Sir Zhang, I didn't expect that there would be such a relationship between us. Since that's the case, we can talk about cooperation."
"Cooperate?"
