35. Hebei famous generals who suffered various ravages (End)
Wen Chou was very depressed, very depressed. This was the third consecutive day that he had lost to Lu Bu for an unknown number of times. This made him, who claimed to be the number one master of Zhongshan Kingdom, very embarrassed. But the gap in strength could not be overcome in a short time.
There was nothing Wen Chou could do to make up for it. After all, Lu Bu won his heart completely by relying on his own strength.
However, Wen Chou still wanted to get it back, so on the fourth day, he made a suggestion to Lu Bu.
"I know a warrior from the Changshan Kingdom. His name is Yan Liang. It is said that he is brave enough for all men. I would like to introduce him to you."
Yan Liang was originally everyone's next target, but Lu Bu's torture of Wen Chou was boring now, so it would be good to find a new stimulus. So he agreed naturally.
Yan Liang lived in Yuanshi County, the seat of Changshan Kingdom.
Speaking of Changshan Kingdom, it is natural to mention the famous sentence "I am Zhao Zilong of Changshan". Zhao Yun's home is in Zhending County, located to the north of Yuanshi County. Although Li Shushi wanted to stop by for a visit, it was a pity that Wen Chou was preoccupied with it.
I want to ask Yan Liang for help, so how can I let Li Shushi go sightseeing with peace of mind.
Speaking of which, the Yan family is also a famous family of poetry and calligraphy in Changshan State, but I don’t know if it is directly inherited from Yan Zhenqing in later generations. However, Yan Liang is obviously a weirdo in this family. He has not been able to study since he was a child, and he likes to dance with guns and sticks.
Unfortunately, Mr. Yan obviously did not have as broad a mind as the Wen family, and he strictly disciplined Yan Liang, so when Yan Liang was a little older, he ran away from home and came to live in Yuanshi County.
Yan Liang's martial arts qualifications were the same as Wen Chou's, so he soon began to show some unique abilities. Now he has become the county captain of Yuanshi County.
Changshan State, like Zhongshan State, is connected to Bingzhou, and even Daijun, which is adjacent to Zhongshan State, is closer to Danhan Mountain, the home base of the Xianbei people. However, there is Feihu Pass in the north of Zhongshan State, guarding Feihu Pass, the main route from the north into the hinterland of Zhongshan State.
Guantun has a considerable number of border troops
.These border troops are directly under the command of General Xianbei Zhonglang. They are all troops who came down to rest after long-term battles on the border, so they have extremely strong combat effectiveness. No bandits around them dare to set up camp under their noses. Of course, the security of Zhongshan Kingdom is excellent.
.
But Changshan Kingdom is different. Changshan Kingdom has a long and narrow terrain, and borders Yanmen County, Taiyuan County and Shangdang County across the Taihang Mountains. There are many bandits and rangers hidden deep in the mountains, and they come here sometimes.
Because of faith
Due to the sluggish flow of information, each county can only fight independently and cannot jointly attack. Today, this place has become the largest bandit base in the north. It can be said that Yan Liang became the county captain here entirely based on his own ability.
came out.
Of course, for the same reason, Changshan's military style is the best in Jizhou. Each village has a militia, and each powerful person has his own fortress and trains his own defense force. Many powerful military forces have even reached the level of regular army.
"Eh? Isn't this Wen Bo Ming? What kind of wind blew you here?"
Yan Liang met Li Shushi and his party in the living room of the county captain's house. He knew that Wen Chou was also a soldier and was no longer the carefree rich boy before. If the two of them had nothing important to do, Yan Liang would rest there.
At that time, he went north to see Wen Chou. Now Wen Chou led people to come to him. In Yan Liang's opinion, there might be something very important for him to deal with.
"Brother Gongji, I'm taking the liberty of coming today, but I hope you won't blame me after hearing this."
Wen Chou pulled Yan Liang to the corner and whispered to him what happened to him. Whether it was being beaten by Lu Bu and unable to resist, or being defeated and finding a friend to show off, it was not a glorious thing. So Wen Chou said these words.
I still felt a little uneasy when I did it.
"What happened to me at that time? It turns out that brother Bo Ming found a rival for me. Hey, you don't know how hard it was for me, brother. I spent the whole day running around with a group of wild monkeys in the mountains, but I didn't want to fight you.
, but I can’t catch it. Hey, fame can be tiring sometimes.”
Yan Liang didn't say much about Wen Chou's words, but instead poured out his bitter words. However, Wen Chou was greatly moved by doing so. After all, Yan Liang was completely taking care of his own face by saying this.
However, the matter of regaining the place will not start immediately, because Yan Liang is not Wen Chou's cavalry leader who has nothing to do but train all day long. He has to deal with a lot of official duties every day, including paying attention to the large group of bandits appearing nearby.
, wipe out small groups of remnants of bandits, ranging from gatherings of people to fight in the county, disrupting social order, etc. When necessary, they also help some powerful people to clean up their behinds. Of course, this kind of thing requires external payment.
In other words, Yan Liang's status is equivalent to the current director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau and the commander of the municipal armed police corps.
Even though Yan Liang dealt with the work at hand at a speed of three times five times two, he was still busy until the evening. Because his position was hard-won, Yan Liang cherished the power in his hands and never left others to solve problems that he could solve by himself. This is
It actually reminded Li Shushi of the exhausted prime minister of Shu Han.
After finishing his work, Yan Liang invited his best friend Wen Chou, his long-time friend Zhang He, and Li Shushi to his home for dinner.
Although Yan Liang ran away from home when he was young, he was still the eldest son of the Yan family. Seeing that his son was also promising, Mr. Yan bought a large house in the Yuan family for his daily living. There were also all servants in the house.
After years of hard work, Yan Liang's temperament has been somewhat polished, and his father's conciliatory signal received a positive response from him. In addition to his achievements, Mr. Yan gave his son more or less support for him to sit in the position of county captain.
If you look good and drink well, you will be better at martial arts. As soon as you enter the house, you will be led to the martial arts field at home.
The area of the martial arts performance field is not large, only more than a hundred square meters, but the land is kept quite flat, with various weapons placed around it, and covered with protective covers.
Yan Liang pointed to the martial arts arena and boasted to Wen Chou excitedly: "I think Bo Ming has been here before. It was just renovated at the beginning of this year. How about it."
Wen Chou took advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun to look at it, nodded, looked at Yan Liang, and then laughed loudly. Maybe this is a reason that only the two of them can understand, Li Shushi thought so while Monk Zhang Er was scratching his head.
Gao Shun had nothing to do with this competition. Because Gao Shun himself felt that he was no match for Yan Liang, he gave Yan Liang, who was at his peak, to Lu Bu.
After the battle, Lu Bu bluntly said that it was comparable to the battle against Zhang Liao. Li Shushi expressed doubts about Lu Bu's statement, because Lu Bu himself said that Lu Bu's victory against Zhang Liao was a close call.
But in this battle, Li Shushi felt that Lu Bu didn't put in much effort.
Lu Bu just smiled at Li Shushi's private questions, then looked at his hands gently and murmured.
"Stronger than him...As solid as his basic skills...Can also judge the key points very clearly...Exceptionally rich battlefield experience..."
Li Shushi looked at Lu Bu in this state and was a little worried, "Fengxian?" Li Shushi tried to wake up Lu Bu, but unfortunately it had no effect.
Lu Bu just raised his head and looked at the sky blankly, with a faint look of disbelief in his eyes, but then it dimmed again.
"Is Yan Liang stronger than Zhang Liao?" Li Shushi quite agreed with this answer in his heart, but Lu Bu's appearance was indeed a bit strange.
"Fengxian?" Li Shushi tried again.
"No! Stronger people..." Lu Bu looked at his calloused hands again.
"It's me!!!"
An extremely strong momentum burst out from Lu Bu. It was an explosive feeling that can only occur after breaking through some shackles. At this moment, Li Shushi personally felt the joy and joy of Lu Bu after defeating his inner demons.
.
Yan Liang then rejected the proposal to fight Wen Chou in a two-on-one fight. After all, he also had the dignity of a warrior and was not pursuing victory on the battlefield. Under such conditions of competition, he could not bring himself to beat up a warrior who was worthy of his respect.
Wen Chou thought about it and blushed. But Wen Chou was not an ordinary person after all, and he realized it at this moment. Letting go of the rigidity of winning or losing, he saw the direction of his martial arts. That was what he had been pursuing all his life.
direction, the direction in which he is heading.
The banquet after the competition was pleasant. The few people who had let go of their obsessions were immersed in a huge sense of satisfaction. They drank the fine wine provided by Li Shushi, sang the customs and folk songs of their hometown, and told their stories happily.
The past. No matter what the future will bring, at this moment, they forget the troubles of reality.
In the middle of the banquet, Yan Liang took the opportunity to toast Lu Bu and whispered: "Going north from here, there is a mountain called Jingxing Mountain. It is said that there lives an old man who is very skilled in martial arts, but he always fails to see the end.
Yes, if you are interested, you can go and have a look."
After saying that, he drank a glass of wine, seemed to think of something, and then said again.
"I heard that Zhao Yun from Zhending County seems to be that old gentleman's apprentice. I don't know if it's true or not. Anyway, he seems to be very powerful."
After saying that, he staggered back to find Zhang He to have a drink with.
Lu Bu squinted his drunken eyes and stared blankly at the direction Yan Liang was leaving, thinking a little but also a little confused.
