There is no other reason why Zhang Liao is willing to escort Cai Yong north, precisely because Zhang Liao is a native of Mayi County, Yanmen County.

When he was young, Zhang Liao joined the state army and wanted to make contributions with his own ability.

Then he followed Ding Yuan, the assassin of Bingzhou, and came to Luoyang from Bingzhou, and after Ding Yuan's death, he followed Dong Zhuo, but he was never reused.

In Chang'an, when he heard that the Southern Xiongnu had invaded Yanmen County, he was very worried and wanted to abandon the army and go home to protect his family.

Many letters sent home were like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news.

It wasn't until recently that I heard that the Fenwu general Han Cheng led the Fenwu army to defeat the Southern Xiongnu army at Yanmen Pass, that I was much relieved, and my heart was full of good feelings for Han Cheng.

happened to have this escort task, that is, you could go back to inquire about the news of your family, and you could get to know Han Cheng, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, so I was willing to accept this task.

After Zhang Liao escorted Cai Yong to Yinguan County, he arranged for his subordinates to inquire about the news of his family, but now three days later, there is still no news, and Zhang Liao is at a loss.

So he wanted to ask to see the county magistrate of Yinguan County and ask him to help find his family, but the magistrate of Yinguan County followed Xu Miao to the county seat to divide the land for the people.

Therefore, Zhang Liao, who was helpless, could only go to Taishou Mansion alone, begged to see Taishou Han Cheng, and begged him to help find his family.

Han Cheng was accompanying Cai Yong and Cai Zhaoji to talk about their daily routines, and suddenly heard someone at the door report: "Zhang Liao asks to see him." ”

Han Cheng knew Zhang Liao's name, after all, Zhang Liao, the head of the "Five Good Generals", was also a world-famous figure in later generations.

Xin said: "I don't know Zhang Liao? Why did Zhang Liao suddenly ask to see him? Could it be that after his defeat of the Southern Huns, he became famous all over the world, so the famous generals came to vote? ”

Just when Han Cheng was complacent, Cai Yong's voice sounded, shattering Han Cheng's fantasy dream.

"You just go and meet this person, this person escorted me all the way to the north, the march is quite a general's style, although it is a small general, but the soldiers respect him, is a rare talent, if you get it, like a tiger with wings."

Only then did Han Cheng know that the Zhang Tun general who escorted his father-in-law to the north was the famous Zhang Liao.

I was also lucky to meet such a good general before Cao Cao.

Han Cheng said: "I'll go and inform the frustration, and let the frustration give me a reception." ”

As soon as Han Cheng spoke, Cai Yong saw through Han Cheng's careful thoughts and said, "Go and take a look, don't delay the business, and then complain about the old man." ”

Han Cheng accompanied Cai Yong and Cai Zhaoji, and he was already irritable, and the father and daughter said something, either quoting the allusions of anyone or quoting the famous sentence of the book.

The well-known sentences are okay, and Han Cheng can still get one or two sentences right; But then what he said became deeper and deeper, and Han Chengcheng didn't know what it meant, so Han Cheng wanted to get out and leave for a long time, but he had no excuse.

Han Cheng saw that his mind was seen through by Cai Yong, he smiled, and said embarrassedly: "My father-in-law has a good eye, and the person he recommends will definitely live up to expectations, so the little son-in-law will go and see if he has anything to ask me to see?" ”

This is said at a high level, that is, he got out of his own business, and praised his father-in-law.

Cai Yong said angrily: "Go, go, go." ”

Han Cheng heard Cai Yong's permission and happily walked to the door.

Suddenly, I heard a sentence from Cai Yong, "Han Cheng, read more books in your free time, you are still young, read more, and don't suffer." ”

Han Cheng almost fell to the ground.

......

While walking towards the gate, Han Cheng thought to himself, "How can I accept such a good talent?" ”

Zhang Liao, who was waiting quietly at the door, suddenly saw the main gate of the Han Mansion open, and it was Taishou Han Cheng who came out of the gate in person, and said in flattered heart: "How can I be so virtuous, I have to be so valued by Lord Taishou?" ”

The current Zhang Liao doesn't know that he will be able to break Wuhuan in the north and cut off the disaster in the future; In the south, he led 800 soldiers to attack the 100,000 army of Eastern Wu head-on, and shocked Xiaoyaojin.

But Han Cheng knew that Han Cheng not only knew this, but also knew the allusions to the "Zhang Liao Stop Crying" that circulated among the folk of Eastern Wu. Therefore, in the face of such a talent, Han Cheng personally went to the gate to greet him.

Zhang Liao didn't expect Han Cheng to come out to greet him in person, he was a little flustered in his heart, and gave a military salute to Han Cheng, and said, "Zhang Liao, the general of the Bingzhou Army, see Lord Taishou." ”

This is the first time Han Cheng has opened Liao, and when he fixed his eyes, he saw a young man, eight feet long, with an elegant appearance, his face was like purple jade, his eyes were like stars, and a wisp of black hair was scattered in the wind, but he gave people a feeling of treating people peacefully.

Han Cheng saw Zhang Liao's anger, and said in his heart: "This Zhang Liao is worthy of being a famous general, you look at this words and deeds, appearance and posture, which makes people full of joy after seeing it." ”

Han Cheng stepped forward, helped up Zhang Liao, who had given a military salute, and said: "General Zhang has worked hard all the way, and it just so happens that it is almost noon dinner time today. ”

Zhang Liao saw that Han Cheng warmly invited him to dinner as soon as they met, but he didn't know what Han Cheng meant, so he could only say modestly: "The Lord is too serious, and the lowly officials are small, and they really can't afford the title of general."

Escorting Cai Zhonglang here is a lowly military affair, and this meal is really unaffordable. ”

Zhang Liao was afraid that Han Cheng would be polite, so he hurriedly said: "I came here today because I have something important to ask Lord Taishou for help, please ask Lord Taishou to help." ”

Han Cheng saw that Zhang Liao was talking eagerly, and knew that things were in a hurry, but there were some things that he had to say, so as to leave a good impression on Zhang Liao, don't be anticlimactic.

"In the eyes of others, you are a general; In my eyes, you are a general who can lead an army of 100,000.

Don't be presumptuous, your talent will be discovered by Bole.

If one day, General Zhang feels that he can't meet his Bole, he can come to my Fenwu Army, as long as I Han Cheng is here, there will be a place for the general. ”

Zhang Liao listened to Han Cheng's words, and the meaning of wooing was very obvious, and his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something; After a moment, there was a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

Han Cheng paused and continued: "I see that General Zhang is very anxious, it is better to go into the mansion and talk about it, as long as I, Han Cheng, can help, I will do my best." ”

Zhang Liao saw Han Chengdu say this, so he followed Han Cheng into the Han Mansion.

Han Cheng's study

Han Cheng said to Zhang Liao: "General Zhang sits casually." ”

Zhang Liao looked at the study and said in his heart: "The study is a man's private place, Han Cheng did not shy away from bringing himself in, why did he trust himself so much?" ”

After hearing Han Cheng's words, he found a place to sit down.

Han Cheng saw Zhang Liao sitting down and said, "General Zhang has something, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Zhang Liao said: "I am a native of Mayi County, Yanmen County, after the invasion of the Southern Xiongnu, my family fled from their homeland, and I don't know where to go, I hope that Lord Taishou will help find it." ”

Han Cheng heard Zhang Liao finish speaking and said, "This is a trivial matter, General Zhang is not in a hurry."

It just so happens that the four counties of Yanmen County have recently been dividing land, and there is a list of each family, and General Zhang only needs to say the names and general physical characteristics of his family, as long as he is within these four counties, it is estimated that it will not take a day to find your family. ”

When Zhang Liao heard this, with Taishou Han Cheng's words, the possibility of finding his family became much greater.

Without hesitation, he told Han Cheng the names and general appearance characteristics of his family.

Han Cheng called a subordinate, told Zhang Liao what he said, and asked this subordinate to go to Xu Miao with his own token, and asked Xu Miao to find Zhang Liao's family first, and then do the matter of distributing land.

Zhang Liao saw that Han had become himself, and he actually delayed the affairs of the people, so he couldn't bear it, and said: "Taishou doesn't have to be like this, Zhang Liao's matter is a small matter, and the people's matter is a big thing; How can you lose a big thing because of Zhang Liao's small things? If this is the case, Zhang Liao will not trouble the Lord Taishou. ”

Han Cheng said with a smile: "General Zhang knows the righteousness very well, and it is quite in line with my heart."

General Zhang was too worried, and the matter of dividing the land, a few hours earlier and a few hours later, did not delay the planting of crops, and I think that General Zhang's matter is better as soon as possible. ”

Without waiting for Zhang Liao to say anything, Han Cheng continued: "General Zhang, please come to the dining room, I have to see the general today, it is like seeing a confidant, and the general will definitely have two more drinks with me." ”

Zhang Liao looked ashamed: "Lord Taishou, no merit will not be punished, such hospitality, Zhang Liao is ashamed." ”

Han Cheng laughed again: "General Zhang, it's really not easy to invite you to a meal.

The general and I hit it off at first sight, as the so-called drinking is difficult to meet a confidant, please General Zhang don't shirk it anymore. Could it be that he looks down on me Han Cheng? ”

Zhang Liao heard Han Cheng's "It's hard to meet a confidant when you have wine", which was in line with his state of mind at this time, so he said: "Don't dare to be humble, just obey your fate." ”

Seeing that Zhang Liao agreed, Han Cheng laughed happily, and pulled Zhang Liao to the dining room.
