5. The melancholy of parting and the prospect of the future, which one do you prefer?
"I really didn't expect, Uncle Zhi, that you would sit on the post of prefect before me. Shouldn't we invite everyone to Tianxiang Tower to celebrate." Zhang Yang felt his shoulders suddenly sink.
"A two-thousand-stone prefect, that's a two-thousand-stone prefect! If I could sit in such a high-ranking position, then Wenxiang from Yicuilou would probably join me." Zhang Yang felt his waist suddenly tremble.
.
"I'm so envious, so envious, so envious!" So Zhang Yang felt that if he continued like this, his spine would be in danger of being broken.
"Hey! Are you guys finished yet?" Zhang Yang looked at these "bastards" speechlessly with a tic-tac-toe on his forehead.
"I said Uncle Zhi, just accept it. Among the brothers, you are the first to stand out." Zhang Liao, as the "boss" of the Bingzhou Army System, made a concluding speech. Of course,
He did not forget to add a "finishing move".
"You, you bastards, when you get promoted and get rich, look at me, oh, let's see if I don't kill you bastards!"
After all the fun, Zhang Yang had completely lost the ability to make out with Xiao Taohong in Tianxiang Tower.
"Wen Yuan, to be honest, I think my abilities are not bad. If I work hard and survive at the age of forty, I can probably imagine what the position of prefect is like. It's just that my martial arts and knowledge are better than mine now.
You are only a mere magistrate of Jinyang County, but I have achieved such a high position as Shangdang Prefect. To be honest, I am full of anxiety now."
In a corner of the lobby on the first floor of Tianxiang Building, Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao were drinking opposite each other. Looking at their friends in the distance who were teasing those youthful girls, Zhang Yang's face had an incompatible desolation.
"Are you worried that all this is just a fantasy? Don't think so, there should be no problems with this appointment."
"Does Wen Yuan know something?" Seeing Zhang Liao's calm face, Zhang Yang suddenly felt that he had also calmed down.
"You have guessed it. Firstly, I will take this opportunity to separate you and me, and gradually break up our group of 'Bingzhou Gang', which is extremely feared by the children of the aristocratic families in the capital. On the other hand, we will take advantage of the fact that we are all Bingzhou people.
, to deal with the new Bingzhou Shepherd. Maybe... we will see Fengxian, Zian and the others soon."
At this point, Zhang Liao fell silent, and Zhang Yang also didn't know what to say.
Lu Bu, this person may be a thorn in Zhang Liao's heart that will never be erased.
Both of them are the most outstanding men in Bingzhou. Although one was born into a powerful family and the other worked alone as an orphan, their life trajectories are completely different. But if there hadn't been that competition, maybe the two would have become good friends who cherish each other.
I originally thought that the two people would be far apart from each other, and it would be difficult for them to meet again, but now...
"Why should Wen Yuan feel guilty? If it hadn't been for those twists and turns, maybe Fengxian would be just like you and me, wasting his life in boredom in this capital. How could he have accomplished such a career and successfully killed him?
He killed his mortal enemy."
Zhang Liao looked at Zhang Yang who had a face full of confusion, smiled silently, and drank the contents of the cup in one gulp.
It's late at night, people are already drunk, and many kings and kings are dreaming of their hegemony...
"Uncle Zhi, Wen Yuan. Your Majesty summoned me alone today and asked me about the two of you. I told Your Majesty that both of you are talented people in one county. Although I don't know what the reason is, but seeing that Your Majesty
It shouldn't be a bad thing. Speaking of which, you haven't done much since I brought you from Bingzhou to this imperial capital. Uncle Zhi is a bit better. In the past two years, he still had the opportunity to go to the northwest to show off his skills, but Wen Yuan, a great talent, had to settle for second place.
This is all my fault."
The next day, not long after Zhang Liao and Zhang Yang woke up from their hangovers, they were taken to Ding Yuan's mansion again. Although Ding Yuan said that he didn't know what the emperor was going to do, in Ding Yuan's case
How could the two people who had been serving as his subordinates for such a long time not understand their superior? It was ten percent that they had already received the news, otherwise they would not have been called here.
"You are not going to Bingzhou to return home in fine clothes or to have fun, but to help the newly appointed Bingzhou Shepherd to exterminate the invading Hu people."
Sure enough, the next words confirmed how well Zhang Liao and Zhang Yang knew their old boss.
"In addition, if you meet Fengxian and the others, tell me that I'm sorry for what happened back then. He has done a good job in the past few years, at least better than me, a coward who only knows how to fight with his colleagues.
Well done by your hands."
Zhang Liao and Zhang Yang looked at each other and did not dare to answer Ding Yuan's words.
"Isn't this what you guys said about me privately? Don't think I don't know. Hey, it was because I was too young and energetic back then, and I always felt that Dong Zhongying was targeting me in every way. But now in this capital city
Only then did I realize that Dong Zhongying is just a sweetheart, quite cute compared to those guys who smile at you on the surface but are ruthless behind their backs."
Listening to Ding Yuan's somewhat long-winded words, and looking at how his hair has changed from jet black to the gray it is today as he served as an official in Luoyang, both of them knew that their boss was old and no longer what he was before.
years of ambition.
However, even so, he still protected the dignity of his group of low-status warriors in Luoyang. The "Bingzhou Gang" became an existence that all forces in Luoyang City did not dare to attack easily not only because of the unity of the internal personnel, but also because of the
Because behind them, Ding Yuan made a lot of efforts. Otherwise, they would have become soldiers of the "rebellion" long ago.
"Okay, let's go. If you don't do something good, don't come to see me again."
"The last general will take orders." ×2, this is an agreement between men.
In another inconspicuous tavern in Luoyang City, a similar conversation seemed to be taking place.
"Gongda, brother, I'm leaving soon. I'm sorry, but I stepped on the two thousand stone position before you."
"Brother Yuanchang is so talented, how can a prefect with two thousand stones fall into your eyes? Is it possible that there are other gratifying things?"
"Huh? Gongda, I've never heard of how much contact you have with the eminent monks in White Horse Temple. Why is there so much Buddha-nature in your words?"
"Brother Yuanchang didn't want to answer me, so he just talked about him. It's really a shame. He should be punished three times."
"I know my mistake for my brother's sake. I know my mistake for my brother's sake. Gongda, just let me go. I'm afraid that if I get drunk today, I won't be able to get up again tomorrow."
Seeing Zhong Yao desperately resisting, Xun You had no choice but to let his friend go for the time being, but he still looked at Zhong Yao with squinted eyes, as if he wanted to make him look good if he didn't tell him what good thing he knew. Zhong Yao looked at it.
Be careful, your liver will tremble.
"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you." Under Xun You's drunken offensive, Zhong Yao finally gave up resistance and declared his surrender.
"Your little uncle who likes to apply perfume heard that he will be qualified as a Xiaolian and will go to Beijing. Unfortunately, if the general hadn't pressed too hard, maybe we could still have a drink together. Think about it.
I still can't forget the scene when I returned to my hometown. But speaking of it, you two uncles and nephews are really not alike. One is gentle and elegant, and the other has a free and easy personality at best, but at worst, that is
The appearance is really too different, too different."
"I'm not Wen Ruo, and Wen Ruo is not my Gongda, so how can we be similar? But if Wen Ruo can't drink with Brother Yuan Chang, I'm afraid there will be a lot of regrets. Drinking with Brother Yuan Chang, I don't know.
I'll be very drunk when I wake up."
"You're scolding me for only giving you wine but not drinking it yourself. That's right, it must be like this."
"Haha, looking at it this way, Brother Yuanchang really can't drink too much, and he is actually drunk at this time. Hahahaha!"
The two of them chatted easily like this, and unknowingly they talked about Zhong Yao's upcoming appointment.
"What kind of person does Gongda think Li Xue and Li Zhoumu are? Yao's hands are just scraps of paper, so he can't see clearly."
"Does the younger brother know more than the elder brother? But looking at the things on those papers, this Zhou Mu is an interesting person."
"How do you say this?" Zhong Yao, who had already drunk a little, his eyes blurry and his face rosy, suddenly became interested, and he seemed to have sobered up a lot.
"He is foolish on the outside but wise on the inside, timid on the outside but brave on the inside, weak on the outside and strong on the inside. He may be a genius of the Han Dynasty."
"Haha, my brother Gongda, are you talking about Li Zhoumu, or are you planning to praise yourself?"
Facing Zhong Yao's teasing, Xun You suddenly said thoughtfully: "Maybe it's a good thing for me to leave Luoyang."
"Of course it's a good thing, otherwise why do you think I agreed so happily. If I feel something is inappropriate, I will always welcome you."
The two looked at each other, and finally shook their heads together in a tacit understanding, and poured the bitter wine in the cup into their mouths.
Different from the farewell in Luoyang City, which was filled with a touch of sadness, the territory of Taiyuan County is now filled with the anger of revenge.
"Before, as the governor of Hedong, I couldn't sanction your actions. This time I will let you know that those who offend my strong men will definitely be dead!"
Facing the blockade of Jinyang Fortress in the front and the joint blockade of Xihe and Wuwan in Taiyuan, Li Shushi rushed in from the flank again. Lu Shuixiu and the coalition forces did not expect that their sanctions would come so quickly.
Among Li Shushi's army, the most eye-catching ones are Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Wei Yue, Cheng Lian and Cao Xing, who were the former generals of the Bingzhou Army. Although they are now carrying the "Bingzhou Army" again
This name, but the original fall
How could Po Po forget it so easily? Especially after receiving the news that Zhang Liao and Zhang Yang were coming, everyone broke out into intense fighting passion. Perhaps they planned to let their former colleagues know that they were the strongest in the Bingzhou army.
existence.
But what no one knew was that Li Shushi's original excitement gradually calmed down as he watched Lu Shuixiu massacre all the coalition forces that were gradually being divided and surrounded. His eyes were no longer focused on the battlefield, as if he had seen the chaos through the fog.
's future.
"In these troubled times, I wonder what kind of melody I, Li Shushi, will compose in this era? I am already ready."
Beside him was Su Xiaololi who looked indifferent. Behind him stood Cheng Yu, Jia Xu and many subordinates who were loyal to him.
PS: Well done to the Hong Kong compatriots! Now it depends on whether the Chinese dynasty will be Manchu and Qing Dynasty or Goujian.
