Zhou Yuanfu thought to himself, you can pull him over and just be An Anxin's counselor for military affairs. Don't mess with the marriage line anymore.
"It's not urgent. We don't have any land at the moment, so don't think about these messy things for now, right?"
"This matter is urgent. The land in Hanzhong needs to be taken, and you, the lady, also need to marry. As soon as that old man Zhang Jiao died, why did you Yellow Turbans fall down and scatter? After all, there are still no heirs. As long as someone rises up and shouts, there will be no heirs.
As for reaching such a situation, although you have inherited the mantle, your foundation is still shallow and not enough to control the heroes. When you get married and have children, you will have many children, even if... hum."
Tian Feng stopped talking.
Zhou Yuanfu's nose was so angry that he was so young, but Tian Feng was thinking about what would happen after his death. He really didn't know whether to praise him or beat him.
"The army is marching slowly. I plan to take a few people to do something." Zhou Yuanfu paused and said, "Master once said before his death that there are several powerful people in Bingzhou who are very helpful to our cause. I plan to go
Recruiting, if you can recruit one or two, that would be great too."
When Tian Feng heard that Zhou Yuanfu was going to leave the majority and act alone, he said, "If that's the case, then take Yun Chang with you, so that you can be protected."
Zhou Yuanfu was naturally happy.
Early on the next morning, the army set off. Zhou Yuanfu took only Guan Yu, Cui Niubi and a few followers and left the team.
Zhou Yuanfu now just wants to find Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and other outstanding people. Zhang Liao doesn't know where he is, but people say Lu Bu is "Nine Plains Lu Bu", and some also say he is "Five Plains Lu Bu", so Zhou Yuanfu is not sure where Lu Bu is for a while.
place. So he asked Cui Niubi and Guan Yu where Wuyuan and Jiuyuan were. These two people had traveled all over the country and were relatively familiar with the geography of Bingzhou.
At that moment, Cui Niubi said proudly: "Brother, sometimes you know everything, and sometimes you know nothing. These two places are the same place, Wuyuan County and Jiuyuan County."
Zhou Yuanfu suddenly realized this and felt secretly ashamed in his heart, so he told the story about Lu Bu. Of course, he said it in a pretense of Zhang Jiao, boasting that Lu Bu's skills were rare on earth and hard to find in heaven.
After hearing this, Guan Yu secretly made a mental note and made up his mind to compete with Lu Bu.
When Cui Niupi heard that he was going to Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County to look for people, he muttered in his heart, "Brother, this place is thousands of miles away from Wuyuan County, and there are very few Han people in Wuyuan County now. In recent years, Xianbei, Xiongnu and other barbarians have
People invaded the border repeatedly, and the Han people fled to death. Maybe Lu Bu was no longer there, maybe he moved, or maybe he died in the battle. Instead of traveling thousands of miles to look for it, why don't we ask around in Jinyang first?
Is there any trace of his whereabouts?"
Zhou Yuanfu thought that there was some truth in it. In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Lu Bu followed Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, so he must be an official somewhere now, and Jinyang is the prefecture of Bingzhou, which is the provincial capital. It is possible that Jinyang is
It was relatively big. After a few people decided on the plan, they rushed to Jinyang.
After entering Jinyang City, we first found an inn to stay and have some food and wine.
The wine shop and inn are the easiest places to pry for information. While the wine and food were being served, Qi Cui Niu Pi asked the waiter, "Housekeeper, we came from Jizhou to sell mountain products. This is my first time in Bingzhou. Do you know what heroes there are in Bingzhou?"
What? I promised you a reward."
After that, he grabbed a handful of copper coins and put them on the table.
The store clerk hurriedly grabbed it in his hand and said, "This brother has asked the right person. When it comes to the heroes of Bingzhou, I do know a little bit about them. The number one hero of Bingzhou is the current governor of Yuzhou, Wang Yunwang. This is
The Duke comes from a famous family and is both civilized and military. Not to mention that he defeated the Yellow Turban Bandits in Yanzhou. When he first became an official, there was a harm in our Jinyang City. He was an eggless eunuch named Zhao Jin. He relied on the emperor's favor to do evil.
, he did all kinds of evil in Jinyang City. He specially picked the time when the emperor was about to grant amnesty to the world, killing people and selling goods, leaving the government helpless. All the officials were afraid of him, but the governor Wang was not afraid. He caught this bitch and executed him in public, which was regarded as a crime.
We Jinyang people have spoken out. This Lord Wang can be regarded as our number one hero in Bingzhou."
"Hahaha, it's really ridiculous. Others lost their heads because of this, but it made Wang Yunruo famous!"
Sitting at the table next to him was a man dressed as a scribe, but with a sword on his waist. Hearing the waiter boast about Wang Yun, he felt dissatisfied and interrupted,
"At that time, Liu Zhi, the prefect of Jinyang, ordered Wang Yun to arrest the eunuch Zhao Jin. Because of this, he got into trouble and was imprisoned by Emperor Huan. At the same time, Cheng Jin, the prefect of Nanyang, was also imprisoned. In the end, they all died unjustly in prison. This incident has made scholars all over the world
We all know that Wang Yuzhou was just a county official at that time. If he took the decision to kill Zhao Jin without authorization, it would be unjust to cause Liu Taishou to die and live alone. If he only acted under orders, how can he be called a hero?"
The shop clerk was at a loss for words when asked, and he said it casually just to reward the money. Unexpectedly, he was scolded by the scribe on the spot.
"The old man is a scholar at first glance, so he naturally knows more than the young man. The young man just listens to others and talks nonsense."
The shopkeeper kept coughing and glaring at the waiter. The waiter felt timid and wanted to retreat.
Cui Niubi grabbed another handful of copper coins and threw them on the table.
"Who wants to hear you talk about this? I want to hear who are the heroes with strong martial arts in Bingzhou. If you tell them, everyone will admire you, and your face will be bright if you can make friends with them. There are not many in Bingzhou who fight with barbarians every year.
A hero with great martial arts skills?"
The shopkeeper's eyes narrowed when he saw the customer rewarding him with money, but he looked at the shopkeeper timidly. Seeing this, Cui Niubi slapped the table and said, "Just tell me, don't act like a thief."
, we’ll just listen and be happy. If you’re not willing to say it, we’ll change the store, otherwise, you can serve some good dishes and two jars of good wine.”
Seeing that the shopkeeper had stopped coughing, the waiter turned around and went to the kitchen. He quickly put the reward in his arms and smiled like a flower. "Brother, don't worry. We have many heroes in Bingzhou. There is a young general named Zhang Liao. Brother
Have you ever heard of it?”
Zhou Yuanfu perked up as soon as he heard it. He heard something familiar, but he didn't know how old Zhang Liao was now and what he did for a living.
Cui Niupi urged the store clerk to speak directly and not to be too pretentious.
"This little hero of the Liao Dynasty is remarkable. He also came from a famous family. I heard that his ancestor was Nie 1, who almost captured the Xiongnu Chanyu. This Nie 1 was originally a wealthy merchant from Mayi who did business with the Huns all the year round. At that time, the Huns repeatedly invaded the border, and Nie 1 reported to the court
He came up with a bold strategy, which was to use Mayi as bait to lure the Xiongnu Great Chanyu over and capture him. The imperial court agreed to his plan and sent hundreds of thousands of troops to ambush, but the Great Chanyu was destined to find this.
It was a trap and he ran away, and Nie 1 also died in the chaos. Many merchants mentioned this matter, so I heard it clearly."
The store clerk talked very hard because he got the reward, and was afraid that he would offend the guests by not explaining it in detail.
"You are really hateful, little guy. I asked you to talk about living heroes, but you go around and around talking about things that happened hundreds of years ago. Hurry up and tell me how heroic Zhang Liao is." Cui Niubi said impatiently.
"Brother, don't worry, Nie 1 offended the Huns. Hundreds of thousands of troops from the imperial court returned without success. Anyway, it's hard to please both sides. His descendants changed their surname to Zhang out of fear of the Huns' revenge. Don't look at Zhang Liao's young age. But he is skilled in martial arts. I heard from merchants in the past that he joined the army to kill Hu people when he was a teenager. At that time, Zang Min, the governor of Taiyuan, praised him highly. If Zang hadn't attacked Xianbei and suffered a defeat, Zhang Liao would have followed suit and rose to prominence. Champion Hou General Huo joined the army at the age of eighteen, and this Liao soldier is even younger. His future prospects are limitless, and he may even be awarded the title of champion." The shop clerk said with a smile.
"Hahaha, it's ridiculous. If you don't look at Zhang Liao's background, he can't be named a champion even if he has more achievements. Zhang Liao is also a great talent. If he meets the Ming Dynasty and still has the day to become a prince, If the pearl is thrown secretly, it will only turn into dust." The scribe added.
"I'm just talking nonsense. This man is very knowledgeable and admirable."
The shop assistant didn't dare to offend the customer, so he said solemnly.
"This dear friend has great knowledge, I don't know how to call him?" Zhou Yuanfu became interested in this scribe who repeatedly interrupted his speech. Seeing that the scribe was talking eloquently and getting to the point, he wanted to recruit him.
