Chapter 334: The Gate of the City
Looking at the towering city wall of Liaoxi City in front of him, Gao Yuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is the fourth time he has come to Liaoxi, every time he comes, his identity is changing, the first time, he is a small soldier, following Lu Hong to pay tribute to Zhang Shouyu, purely to play soy sauce and see the world. The second time, he was already a county lieutenant of Fufeng, although he was still a small official with a big sesame, but because of economic reasons, he had already touched some status in Zhang Shouyue's heart, and the third time, although he was still a county lieutenant, he already had a strong force in his hands, and he was first exposed in western Liaoning, and he was famous because of Ye Jinger's words, but that time, many people thought that after he left Liaoxi this time, he would definitely have no return, and he would die on the front line of Yuyang, so he even kept the promise, He only said that he would talk about the future after he came back.
This is the fourth time. He returned to Liaoxi as the general of Zhengdong, who was a standing army of the imperial court, although he did not have a fief, but in terms of status, he could be compared with Zhang Shouyue. I'm afraid that even Zhang Shouyue, who appreciated him very much at the beginning, never imagined that it took him two years to complete his decades-long journey, of course, compared with Zhang Shouyue, he is still a lot worse, because Zhang Shouyue has a county of his own.
Thinking of this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but look back and look to the north, Sun Xiao and they should have arrived at Jishi Mountain at this time, let's start from Jishi Mountain to create their own territory.
The gate of Liaoxi City was wide open, Zhang Shubao was full of spring breeze, and took the civil and military officials of Liaoxi County out of the city gate, behind him, in addition to Lu Hong, Huang Desheng and other generals, it was the company commander Shi Pengbin and Sima Wu Yi who came out, looking at this lineup, the corners of Gao Yuan's mouth showed a smile, it seems that Zhang Shubao has the upper hand in Liaoxi County.
Gao Yuan turned over and dismounted. At the same time, Zhang Shubao also opened his hands and greeted him with a loud smile, "Brother Gaoyuan, if you don't see you for a day, if you don't see me every other autumn, you want to kill me." ”
The two hugged each other heavily, hitting each other's backs with their fists, as if they hadn't seen each other for many years, in fact, after Gao Yuan returned from a detour to the grassland. The two had a deep conversation all night in the Niulanshan camp, and the joy of the two at this time was more for those behind Zhang Shubao.
Look, this is my big aid, Zhang Shubao is not afraid to let those people in Liaoxi City who are still a little swaying see that he has a deep friendship with Gao Yuan, this is a show, a deterrent, and a temptation.
Today's Gao Yuan is no longer the small county lieutenant he used to be, but the general of Zhengdong who was enshrined by the imperial court. Kaifu Jianya, and there are nearly 10,000 elite soldiers and strong generals under his command. Even Liaoxi is just that.
After whispering a few words to Zhang Shubao, Gao Yuan turned around and walked towards Lu Hong. Bending over, "Uncle, are you okay?" Is my aunt okay? ”
Lu Hong smiled so much that his mouth couldn't close together, Gao Yuan gave him enough face. "Good, all good! Your aunt can read about you, and say that this time I have to let you go to the house for a meal anyway! ”
"Auntie's meal. I've grown up as a snack, and I still have a lingering fragrance on my lips! Only this time, I'm afraid I won't have time! Gao Yuan smiled apologetically: "And when I came here this time, I have to bother my uncle and aunt to go out with me!" ”
Lu Hong naturally knew what Lu Dao Gaoyuan said, "No problem, no problem, this is what I should have done!" Speaking of this, his eyes couldn't help but turn red, and he said: "My senior brother has a spirit under Jiuquan, and I don't know how happy I am to see that you are now out of the woods, and you are about to marry a wife and have children!" ”
"If it weren't for my uncle to take care of him, why would my nephew be here today?" Gao Yuan took a step forward and supported Lu Hong, "Big brother, do you have a letter?" ”
"Your eldest brother has been recommended by everyone Li, and now he is an official in the Qin State." Lu Hong turned his sorrow into joy, "I wrote a letter some time ago, and I said it very well, and now I am working as Sima in the newly established Shannan County of Qin State. ”
Hearing Shannan County, Gao Yuan's face changed slightly, but it disappeared in an instant, "As soon as the eldest brother is an official, he will be a county Sima, and he is really a talent!" ”
"Ahem, compared to you, that's far worse, but it's just relying on the face of the Li family, and besides, Shannan County is poor and white, and it is a chore to deal with the homeless people and the Hun army all day long." Speaking of his own son, Lu Hong is naturally proud, although it is much worse than Gao Yuan, but Lu Chao is an official in the world's largest power, and there is such a big backer as Li Ru, and it is just around the corner.
"The more bitter it is, the poorer and whiter it is, the easier it is to make achievements!" Gao Yuan said: "With the talent of the eldest brother, he must be like a fish in water." ”
Lu Hong couldn't close his mouth happily, and patted Gao Yuan's shoulder again and again, "Okay, okay, don't talk about him, I married a wife for you this time, I hope he will marry me a daughter-in-law as soon as possible." ”
Gao Yuan smiled and nodded, turned half a body sideways, and looked at Huang Desheng beside Lu Hong, "Uncle Huang, long time no see." ”
Huang Desheng smiled, "Good boy, I was still thinking about it just now, if you call me General Huang, I will have to come to see you, the general of Zhengdong, with the courtesy of my subordinates." This Uncle Huang called me physically and mentally. Okay, I'm fine. The scars on his face trembled with his laughter, and his hand reached back, pulling out a person, "Come out to see people, haven't you always been thinking about General Gao, why do you see people, but you don't dare to see people!" ”
When Gao Yuan Dingqing looked at it, it was Huang Desheng's son Huang Zhan, speaking of which, the two could be regarded as comrades-in-arms, with Gao Yuan running thousands of miles to Yulin, but now the identity gap between the two is too far, and Huang Zhan shrank behind his father.
"Brother Huang Zhan!" Gao Yuan smiled and said, "It's always good? ”
"Good, good!" Huang Zhan is still somewhat detained.
"This kid has grown a lot with you. Not to mention anything else, this right away, I, who is Lao Tzu, will be willing to bow down, Gao Yuan, speaking of which, I really thank you. If you hadn't taken him out of the city, this kid would still be sitting in a well and watching the sky! ”
"Uncle Huang is serious, Brother Huang Zhan is talented and intelligent, and he is willing to bear hardships and stand hard work, people like him, wherever they are lost, they can shine, and Brother Huang Zhan's future will definitely be stronger than Uncle Huang in the future!"
"Borrow your auspicious words, lend you auspicious words!" Huang Desheng laughed.
Zhang Shubao walked over with a smile, "Okay, okay, my father is still waiting in the house to catch General Gao, we can't just gossip here, this talk is together, how can we finish it in a few days and nights, let's go, let's go, the days will be long, our task today is how to get Gao Yuan drunk?" ”
Everyone was stunned, turned around and got on the horse, and when they were about to enter the city, several fast horses were flying in, seeing the people, Gao Yuan couldn't help but be surprised, not only Gao Yuan, Zhang Shubao and others were surprised, for a while, there was silence in front of the city gate.
The one who flew in turned out to be Zhang Junbao, the eldest son of Zhang, and several of his servants.
"The big guy is quite neat!" Stopping the horses, Zhang Junbao glanced at everyone at the city gate with a smile, Lu Hong, Huang Desheng and others looked back without fear, and the others couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, especially Changshi Pengbin and Sima Wuyi, who were even more red-faced, bowing their heads and saying nothing.
Fortunately, Zhang Junbao just lightly ridiculed everyone, then turned around and looked at Gao Yuan with a smile on his face, "General Gao, I'm sorry, I was involved in some trivial matters just now, and I was a step late, General Gao, don't blame, don't blame!" ”
"Where, where!" Gao Yuan hugged his fists and returned the salute, "How dare you work for the eldest prince, Gao Yuan is flattered!" Looking at Zhang Junbao with a smile, Gao Yuan suddenly had a warning in his heart, he had already shown his carriage and horses to support Zhang Shubao, but the boss of the Zhang family still looked like he had no guilt, there must be a demon when things went wrong, if this person really had such a city, he would underestimate him, and it seemed that he had to deal with it carefully.
"Big brother, General Gao's coming to Liaoxi today is the top priority, I don't know what the eldest brother is involved in, it's too late to even come to greet General Gao, what is more important than General Gao's arrival in Liaoxi City?" Zhang Shubao smiled, "I'm afraid that the eldest brother is unhappy!" ”
Hearing Zhang Shubao's sarcastic remarks, the other officials of Liaoxi County invariably took a step back.
"The second brother is still so sharp-toothed, not like this before!" Zhang Junbao smiled; "You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are at home, the huge territory of Liaoxi City, the daily income and expenditure, food and military expenses, which one is not heartbreaking, today I reconciled with a few masters, and forgot the hour for a while, didn't I want to get up and come to Pegasus?"
He turned to look at Gao Yuan: "General Gao is also the person in charge, should he know such suffering?" ”
Gao Yuan smiled, but the light flashed in his eyes, "Yes, yes, whether it is a family, a city, or a country, as soon as the door is opened, it is nothing more than seven things about firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. ”
While speaking, the corner of his eye glanced at Zhang Shubao, it seems that although Zhang Shubao is powerful in the army, but the political affairs of Liaoxi are still in the hands of Zhang Junbao, Zhang Shouyue is very interesting, let the two sons one in charge of the army, the other in charge of the government, it seems to let go of their hands and let the two of them compete.
A few words made Zhang Shubao speechless, Zhang Junbao proudly stretched out his hand at Gao Yuan, "General Gao, my father has set up a banquet in the palace to catch the wind for the general, please General Gao move!" ”
Gao Yuan bowed his head slightly, rode the horse slowly, Zhang Junbao naturally rode the horse to Gao Yuan's side, omitting the position of a horse's head, he inserted it like this, but squeezed Zhang Shubao behind him, Zhang Shubao was so angry that he smoked, but on this street, there were so many officials behind him, he couldn't step forward to drive the eldest brother away, and for a while, he was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Behind him, the people of Liaoxi had different faces, and the two brothers of the Zhang family had put the battle on the bright side for the first time. It's just that the eldest prince does this, is it useful? In the eyes of the generals and officials of Liaoxi, Zhang Dagongzi's actions today are more to add disgust to the second son!
