At this time, Zhang Huan's eldest son, Zhang Zhi, was led by a servant to the entrance of the lobby. When he looked up, he saw Wang Yu's figure!
In fact, Zhang Zhi had already recognized Wang Yu's identity when the two of them met for the first time. After all, Zhang Zhi and Wang Yu's father, Wang Teng, were close friends!
If it weren't for Zhang Zhi not choosing to become an official, I am afraid that Zhang Zhi would not have been able to escape the disaster of the party's imprisonment.
Even Zhang Zhi was filled with emotion when he saw Wang Yu, who had already undergone earth-shaking changes after not seeing him for a year. At the beginning, he was just a boy who had grown up with Gai Xun.
But now, he has been able to command thousands of troops, sit on the home court, and command the Bingzhou army to capture Bingzhou in one fell swoop. He has grown into a world-famous young man who was granted the title of Marquis of Guannei.
"The tiger father has no dog sons!" Zhang Zhi admired in his heart, then walked forward and said to Wang Yu: "It's still early and it will take an hour for your Excellency to give lectures. Why don't you, sir, come with me?"
Honorable Lord?
Wang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but roll his eyes and said to himself: "Uncle Shi, are you praising me or scolding me?"
Seeing Wang Yu roll his eyes, Zhang Zhi burst out laughing, leaving Wang Yu on the side speechless and immediately gave a junior salute!
"What noble prince? Shibo, did you deliberately want me to make a fool of myself here? He is just a mere prince of Guannei. How can he be so noble? If others hear him, he will not make people laugh."
"Besides, are you and I still so polite? During this trip, my father mentioned Shibo many times, saying that Shibo and him have been good friends for many years!"
"Besides, before I left for the trip, my father said that I could now be independent, so he gave me the name Ziying. Shibo can just call me Ziying from now on." Seeing Zhang Zhi making fun of him, Wang Yu said helplessly, which made Zhang Zhi even more excited. Praise.
"Ten people are outstanding, hundreds are proud, thousands are handsome, and ten thousand are heroes. It seems that Brother Wang has high hopes for you!" Zhang Zhi sighed immediately after hearing the words Wang Teng gave Wang Yu!
While Wang Yu and Zhang Zhi were chatting in general, Wang Yu's side Gai Yin immediately stood up and said: "Gai Yin has met Uncle Shi. I wonder if Uncle Shi still remembers Gai Yin!"
"Of course I remember, Gai Yuangu's son, Liangzhou Gai Shehu!" Zhang Zhi said with a smile!
Seeing that Zhang Zhi still remembered him, Gai Yin couldn't help but said: "I often heard that my father said that Uncle Shi was good at cursive calligraphy, and Yin also liked it. I wonder if I can take a look?"
"Of course you can, but I don't know if my nephew...?" Zhang Zhi turned his attention to Wang Yu who was aside.
"I also want to take a look!" Wang Yu replied.
Zhang Zhi nodded and led everyone to his residence. Gai Yin immediately looked at Wang Yu with thanks!
If Wang Yu hadn't been there, just being the son of a prefect worth two thousand dan wouldn't have been enough for Zhang Zhi to make an exception.
"Come, this is my study, you can enjoy it." Zhang Zhi said grandly!
Wang Yu was also quite curious. After all, this was also a grass sage from the Han Dynasty, so he picked up Zhang Zhi's latest work, and his eyes suddenly changed.
"Father's words come true!"
When Wang Yu returned home, he talked about Zhang Zhi. Wang Teng said that it would not take long for Zhang Zhi to surpass the famous calligrapher Cui Yuan.
But at that time, Wang Yu didn’t believe it!
Because in his opinion, imitation is just imitation after all!
But now, he has been slapped in the face!
And the beating really hurts!
The reason why Wang Yu now dares to say that Zhang Zhi surpassed Cui Yuan is because his writing style has undergone earth-shaking changes.
His current cursive writing method is to use horizontal strokes, and the style of the characters is formed in one stroke. There are occasional discontinuities, but the blood is continuous, and when it is connected, the energy is connected to every other line!
What does this mean?
This means that Zhang Zhi has now created a brand new calligraphy style.
Enough to start a sect!
Become a calligraphy master!
Even Wang Yu couldn't help it and asked Zhang Zhi for a copy, because seeing this calligraphy made him understand something. However, before he had time to speak, Gai Yin next to him shamelessly asked Zhang Zhi for a calligraphy copy.
.
Seeing Gai Yin's fierce reaction, Wang Yu understood. After all, Gai Yin also dabbled in the field of calligraphy because of his father Gai Xun!
Nowadays, when I see calligraphy works that are enough to establish a sect, I naturally want to take a look!
Seeing Gai Yin's sincere affection, Zhang Zhi was also deeply moved. He was very fond of such a sincere man, so he generously gave him a post.
Gai Yin originally wanted to take the opportunity to ask Zhang Zhi for advice on calligraphy, but he also knew that going too far is not enough, so he stopped the idea of asking for advice!
However, he couldn't hide it from Wang Yu. He regarded Gai Yin as one of his own, so he asked for advice. Zhang Zhi was naturally willing to accept it, so they started to discuss it!
Before you knew it, an hour had passed. At this time, a guard came to report that Zhang Huan had finished his lecture. Only then did Gai Yin stop the topic without saying anything!
Zhang Huan was still very happy about Wang Yu's arrival. He immediately blamed Wang Yu's family for being a member of the family, and when the banquet came, they even feasted on wine and meat, making Zhang Zhi on the side call his father partial!
When the time came for the banquet, Zhang Huan considered that Wang Yu was still a ten-year-old boy, and even at a precocious age, he and his father and son did not have much to talk about.
So Zhang Huan called his youngest son Zhang Meng over.
Zhang Meng is Zhang Huan's son, so Zhang Huan pays special attention to him. As the saying goes, the old father loves Yao'er, that's what he said!
He is only fourteen years old now, but he looks like he is sixteen or seventeen years old. Not only is he tall, strong, and handsome, but his martial arts realm has also reached the early stage of the Xiantian realm!
One can imagine how many resources Zhang Huan provided him!
This attribute is enough, but for ordinary generals, it is a pity that Zhang Meng is not an ordinary person. He is the son of Zhang Huan and Zhang Ranming, the Sanming of Liangzhou.
Such five-dimensional attributes, for his identity, are simply unbearable to look at. Except for the attribute of force, which is okay, the rest is just a scumbag!
Moreover, Zhang Meng died without any regrets, because he met Han Sui at the Nine Bends of the Yellow River and eventually committed suicide due to defeat!
But what’s dramatic is that the person who forced him to death was his father’s disciple!
However, today is different from the past. With the arrival of Wang Yu, Zhang Meng's fortune will definitely change. Just because he is Zhang Huan and Zhang Ranming's son, his achievements will never stop here!
Regarding Zhang Huan's three sons, Wang Yu already had a good understanding of Zhang Huan's three sons through his father Wang Teng's mouth. The eldest and second son both followed Confucianism and entered Taoism through Confucianism.
Now it seems that they are going very smoothly!
After three drinks and five dishes, Zhang Huan and Wang Yu started talking about past events, most of which were about him and Wang Yu's grandfather Wang Xuan, which gave Wang Yu a rough idea of their relationship.
Cognition.
However, when talking about these past events, Zhang Huan was obviously a little excited and seemed to be possessed, so Wang Yu immediately stopped the topic, and after chatting for a while, he was ready to stand up and leave.
Zhang Huan personally wanted to give it as a gift, and gave his many years of military experience on the battlefield to Wang Yu, who was still a teenager, saying that this was his deepest wish.
Faced with Zhang Huan's kindness, Wang Yu had no choice but to accept it!
However, Wang Yu also knew that Zhang Huan was investing in advance, so that Wang Yu would appreciate his favor and protect the Zhang family in times of crisis in the future!
………………
After everyone left Huayin County, they set out all the way east and unexpectedly came to a place, which is the Three Hundred Miles of Peach Grove, also known as Taolin Sai.
There are many legends here, one of which is Kuafu Zhuri!
In ancient times, there was a tribe of giants called the Kuafu tribe. The leader of this tribe, Kuafu, was extremely tall, powerful, and had an extraordinary will.
One year, there was a severe drought.
The fire-like sun scorched the crops on the ground and dried up the water in the river, making people uncomfortable and unable to live.
Kuafu then became ambitious and vowed to catch up with the sun, catch the sun, and make it obey people's orders.
However, his desire to catch up with the sun was tantamount to fantasy. In the end, Kuafu died of thirst because he had no water to drink.
His body turned into a big mountain, which is now Kuafu Mountain. The cane Kuafu threw down when he died also turned into a peach forest like colorful clouds, which is now Taolinsai.
In addition to this legend, there is also the Yellow Emperor who built the tripod and ascended to heaven on a dragon here.
After King Wu of Zhou Dynasty conquered the Shang Dynasty, in order to declare to the world that there would be no more wars, he practiced martial arts and cultivated literature and herded cattle in the peach forest!
Wang Yu naturally wanted to visit this place, but unfortunately, although the peach trees here were beautiful, the towering peaks and the terrain were too dangerous, making it really difficult to visit.
However, Wang Yu will not leave from here!
After all, they have a carriage, and it is really difficult to walk from here, so they can only move forward slowly from the main road.
Yanzhou, Dongping Kingdom!
Dongping, called Dongyuan in ancient times.
It belonged to Xuzhou during the Tang, Yu, Xia and Shang dynasties.
"Dongyuan Siping" is the beginning of Dongping's name.
Ancient Dongyuan is located in the eastern half of Dongping Lake Reservoir and the area east of Dongping, Wenshang and Ningyang in Shandong Province.
In ancient times, Wenshui River flowed from east to west in the southern part of Dongyuan, and met Jishui in the southwest of Dongyuan. Jishui flowed from south to north in the west of Dongyuan, and there were frequent floods!
It can be said that this is one of the birthplaces of Shuibo Liangshan. After hundreds of years of vicissitudes of life, a large Shuibo was finally formed.
In fact, the area of Liangshan is not large. It is just because of the changes in the times that the alluvial area has become larger. However, in this era, the area of Liangshan is still okay!
Otherwise, Wang Yu wouldn’t pay so much attention to it!
Guo Wei and his party traveled south from Jinyang City for half a month and finally arrived at Dongping Country!
However, Guo Wei and the others did not go directly to Liangshan, because there were only a dozen of them, and it was not an easy task to capture Liangshan!
If you want to capture Liangshan, you first need men and horses!
Therefore, Guo Wei inquired with Chao Gai and others to see if there were any copycat forces near Dongping Kingdom. Not to mention, they really found out.
At this time, the land conflicts in the Han Dynasty became increasingly acute. Many people could not bear the corrupt officials and targeted the common people, so they became angry and occupied the mountain as king.
Fucheng County, Zilang Mountain is it!
The owner of this village is called Song Xuan. He once served as a frontier soldier. However, he was forced to leave the army because of the constant oppression of his superiors. When he returned to his hometown, he faced deprivation from corrupt officials all day long!
So Song Xuan rose up to resist, killed the county Cheng who oppressed him, and led a group of brothers to occupy the mountain and become king. In just a few years, he had seven to eight hundred followers.
Moreover, this person targets corrupt officials and businessmen who are unkind for their wealth. He never bullies the people. It can be said that he is a good bandit!
Naturally, Guo Wei would not let go of such a person and personally entered Zilang Mountain to persuade Song Xuan to surrender.
But this time, Guo Wei showed off part of his strength and only took five rounds to defeat Song Xuan, who was in the late stage of Qi Condensation, and took him under his command.
After being joined by Song Xuan, Guo Wei's team grew instantly. He originally only had dozens of elites selected from the army, but now combined with Zilangshan's troops, there are more than 700 people in total!
However, these more than 700 people are really good and bad. They are good at dealing with bandits and bandits, but they are not good at dealing with regular troops.
However, Guo Wei doesn't care, as long as they take Liangshan, it will become easier to handle!
Since Fucheng County is not far from Shouzhang, and Liangshan is within the territory of Shouzhang, Guo Wei and his party were very cautious. During the day, they only rested in the mountains and forests, and only started to travel on the road at night. p>
Guo Wei did this for two reasons:
First, Guo Wei and the others have a lot of people under their command, more than 700 people. The number of people alone is not a big deal, the key is the cars full of property and food!
There is something wrong with so many people pushing loaded carts on the road, not to mention that these people are carrying swords, guns, weapons, bows and arrows!
Where would an ordinary caravan escort have such a lineup? It would be unusual at first glance and easily attract attention.
If the common people see it, they will only dodge it, as long as it is not related to their immediate interests, but the government is different. If they see it, they will definitely avoid some trouble.
When the time comes, there may be a sword fight!
For their own safety and to avoid too much trouble, they marched in reverse order of day and night, avoiding the eyes of others.
This second step is naturally to capture Shuibo Liangshan faster!
Guo Wei and his party are already close to Shouzhang, and they are not far from Liangshan point. Naturally, they have to be extremely careful, so that they can capture Shuibo Liangshan more safely.
Guo Wei is also a person who has been in the world for a long time, and he naturally understands the abilities of bandits. Maybe their combat power is not high, but their intelligence system cannot be ignored!
Otherwise, how would they know that a caravan was passing by the mountain, how many people were coming, and whether it was worth a vote!
It can be said that if their intelligence system was not up to par, they would have been wiped out long ago because they provoked people they could not afford to offend.
