After sending the paperwork, Zhang Liao can be regarded as officially resting on vacation.

The county governance of Yanmen County can only be regarded as average, and more often than not, they are busy living and resisting.

Unlike Taiyuan County in the south, there are still some entertainment venues, and there are places to drink and brag and fart.

Here in Yanmen County, most of the days are tense.

Everyone has their heads tied to their belts, so how can they have too much time to be chic?

In the past, it was okay, but in the past ten years, the living environment in Yanmen County has become worse and worse.

Zhang Liao had nowhere else to go, so he went to the wine shop in the county town to fill a few jugs of wine, and rode straight to Yanmen Mountain, where his uncle was.

His hobby may be to sit on the wall of Yanmen Pass.

Legs crossed, elbows propped up.

Sip a glass of wine and look at the grasslands to the north.

Think about how big this grassland will be and what it will be like at the end of the grassland.

Feel the spicy sensation of the astringent liquor running down your throat.

Feel the cold wind blowing from the grassland turning into a yin mountain breeze.

Zhang Liao felt that his life was probably like this.

By the age of seven, he was already drinking liquor here against the walls.

Ten years later, he was still leaning against the walls and drinking spirits.

Wine, it's not a fucking good thing.

Zhang Liao wrinkled his nose, wiped the corners of his mouth slightly, and while thinking on horseback, he unconsciously opened a bag of wine and began to drink.

He drank spirits for ten years, used wine bags for ten years, leaned against the city walls for ten years, and blew cold winds for ten years.

I don't know what it's like to drink in the southern world.

Unconsciously, Zhang Liao, who was riding a horse towards Yanmen Pass, was getting more and more distracted, perhaps because of this bar.

Yanmen Pass is as deserted as ever.

The aliens don't go here, and the people don't go out of here.

The fame of this place is a thing of the past.

Because now the land behind the Yanmen Pass has long been invaded by foreign races, and this strategic place has lost its usefulness.

Staying here is just an obsession in my heart.

Looking up at the sky, Zhang Liao sipped his wine.

He felt that life was quite boring, and he didn't know when he would encounter opportunities.

Skillfully turned over the city wall, Zhang Liao often jumped here since he was a child, and he was very familiar with the roads here.

The sun shines.

On top of the border fortress in the north of the Han Dynasty, at the top of the Yanmen Gate, a young man leaned against the corner of the city wall and drank wine one by one.

Well?

I don't know how long I drank it, Zhang Liao could feel a little strange.

Seem......

There is the sound of a horse?

It was getting late, and he couldn't see anything clearly at night, and Zhang Liao felt a little strange.

Although he told himself in his heart that it might be his auditory hallucinations, or maybe it was a horse that had escaped from the stable and went to the prairie to pursue the vast world on his own.

Not excluded...... It may be a night attack by the Xianbei people.

Most of the Xianbei people do not have night blindness, and their tribal warriors are mainly meat-eating.

On the contrary, there are some troops in the Central Plains who lack meat, and there will be a problem of night blindness.

Of course, this does not mean a side plug.

At least these border troops in Yanmen Pass, no matter how bad they are, they can go up the mountain to catch game by themselves.

Although Zhang Liao was a little drunk, he was still conscious, and he quickly got up and looked at Guanxia.

He only popped out half of his head, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the movement outside the gate.

In the distance, he spotted what seemed to be a group of cavalry attacking towards Yanmen Pass.

Night Raid?

Zhang Liao's drunkenness dissipated in an instant, and the whole person instantly sobered up.

He pressed his face against the walls, feeling the size and type of cavalry.

Born on the border, raised on the border.

Zhang Liao already has a keen perception of cavalry.

He was not in a hurry to warn, because the people on duty at Yanmen Pass had already rung the bronze bell.

"Dang!"

The soldiers of Yanmen Pass quickly grabbed the weapons at hand and rushed towards the city wall.

They're used to it, but they've never slackened.

Because they are border troops.

Once they slack off, the price they pay will be their own lives and the homes they are guarding behind them.

OK.......

Zhang Liao listened carefully, the scale of the sound of horses' hooves was not large, and the city wall did not have any vibration, so the size of the troops coming should not be very large.

If tens of thousands of cavalry are close to Yanmen Pass, the city wall will shake significantly.

Zhang Liao saw that his uncle had put on his armor and stood on top of Yanmen Pass.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, Zhang Liao saw an arrow flying from a distance towards the city wall of Yanmen Pass, heading straight for Zhang Liao's uncle.

"Uncle!"

Zhang Liao had just reminded him that the arrow had already arrived in front of Uncle Zhang Liao.

"Boom!"

Zhang Tong drew his sword and pulled away the arrow, although the speed was fast, but when the arrow flew in front of him from such a long distance, it had no strength.

So he was able to get out of the way easily.

He has been in the Yanmen Pass for more than ten years, but he is used to it.

Xianbei's autumn harassment is here again.

Every year when the autumn harvest comes, if the Xianbei tribes in the north suffer a disaster, they will go south to pass through Yanmen Pass and go to the county to plunder.

But in Yanmen, there has always been a cycle of strange circles.

Small tribes can't enter Yanmen Pass.

The big tribe disdains to hit the Yanmen Pass.

But the small tribes will come to Yanmen Pass to win a chance to survive, and the big tribes prefer to play in Youzhou.

It is worth mentioning that Liu Yu was deposed from Youzhou because of some official affairs, and was transferred to Ganling State as the minister of state last autumn, and now he has become Zongzheng, replacing Zongzheng who checked Liu Bei's genealogy before.

And Guo Xun, the new Taishou who replaced Liu Yu, was killed by the Yellow Turban Army of Guangyang County not long after taking office.

You must know that Guo Xun does not have a fierce general like Liu Bei in his hands, and Gongsun Zan took over the post of Zhuojun Taishou again after Liu Yu was transferred, and he did not listen to Guo Xun's call.

Therefore, today's Youzhou is a happy field for Xianbei people.

As long as they don't get close to Gongsun Chan and don't get caught by Gongsun Chan, they are still free in Youzhou.

Therefore, most of the defensive pressure of Yanmen Pass was shared by Youzhou.

And Xianbei is not a very united nation.

Many small tribes do not want to be annexed, and Youzhou has a Gongsun Zhan, and most of the small tribes who invade Youzhou are directly eaten by Gongsun Zhan.

Instead of dying, it's better to try to beat the Yanmen Pass.

This century-old pass, which looks a little dilapidated, may be easier to gnaw down.

For small tribes, no matter how poor Yanmen County is, they can survive this winter with enough food and drink.

Zhang Tong knew this very well, so he was still calm.

Because of this kind of battle, he has been fighting all his life.

The small tribe that attacked this time should also have a warrior with superior strength, perhaps good at riding and shooting.

The arrow just now was a war letter to himself.

Yanmen Pass is dangerous.

The city walls can be seen at a glance.

No matter how covert the night attack is, it will be discovered, so it is better to fight openly.

Looking at the troops gradually approaching Yanmen Pass, Zhang Tong estimated the number of people.

Nearly five thousand people.

It doesn't seem to be a small tribe, and five thousand capable warriors do have the qualifications to try Yanmen Pass.

Today, there are 800 defenders in Yanmen Pass.

Looks like we don't need to rest tonight.

Zhang Tong pulled out a long-handled broadsword from behind him, set it on the city wall, and asked people to take a bow.

The traditional art of their Zhang family is to play with a big knife and shoot arrows.

[ps: I was a little swollen today, and my movements were slower, and I checked a lot of information again today and determined the situation in Youzhou. In the early days of the Yellow Turban Rebellion that broke out in Youzhou in the spring and summer of 184, Liu Yu was the assassin of Youzhou, and then Liu Yu resigned after Liu Bei left, which should be because of the Yellow Turban matter, and then Guo Xun took over, and then Guangyang County and Guangyang were too guarded together, and were killed by the Yellow Turban Army.

In 184, the Yellow Turban Uprising. The Yellow Turban Army of Guangyang County killed Youzhou Assassin Shi Guo Xun and Taishou Liu Wei.

Not long after Liu Yu was dismissed, in the middle and late stages of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, that is, in the autumn of 184, he took over as the prime minister of Gan Ling, who was appointed by the imperial court, and the task was to restore the people's livelihood, and the reason was that when Liu Yu was the assassin of Youzhou before, he had good political achievements and was loved by the people. After the local recovery was good, Liu Yu was transferred back to take over Zongzheng, and the time was almost 185. Subsequently, because Guo Xun was killed, the position of Youzhou Assassin was vacant, until 187, Zhang Chun made a rebellion, Liu Yu ran back to be Youzhou Assassin, and then in 188, he was directly promoted to Youzhou Mu with the official position of Youzhou Assassin.

As for the question that many readers mistakenly think about Liu Yandang's Youzhou Thorn History, I also specially re-checked it carefully, Liu Yan has never been to Youzhou in his life, he is a Jiangxia native, and the closest to Youzhou is only the Jizhou Thorn History for a period of time.

Liu Yan's personal resume is: successively served as Luoyang Ling, Jizhou Thorn History, Nanyang Taishou, Zongzheng, Taichang and other officials, and later served as Yizhou Mu. And this time in the text is the autumn of 185, Liu Yan should be the Taichang in the court, and Liu Yu also went to serve as Zongzheng, so the predecessor Zongzheng may actually be Liu Yan, and the one who found the genealogy for Liu Bei is Liu Yan.

Attached is Liu Yu's personal resume: Liu Yu's grandfather Liu Jia once served as Guangluxun, his father Liu Shu once served as Danyang Taishou, Liu Yu served as a Cao official through filial piety, and was promoted to a county official because he could perform his duties, and later moved to Youzhou Assassin History due to accumulated political achievements, Liu Yu served as Youzhou Assassin During the period of Youzhou Assassin History, he had a high prestige among foreign tribes such as Xianbei, Wuhuan, Fuyu, and Hao, and paid tribute at any time, and did not dare to intrude, and the people sang songs to praise Liu Yu's merits. Later, he was dismissed from office on official business.

In 184 A.D. (the first year of Zhongping), the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, the Yellow Turban Army broke through the counties of Jizhou, and the imperial court appointed Liu Yu as the prime minister of Ganling, and went to appease the people after the famine.

In 188, the reason why the imperial court re-appointed Liu Yu as the pastor of Youzhou was that Liu Yu had prestige in the north, and this prestige was the prestige of a famous man who was promoted in Youzhou, so Liu Bei received Liu Yu's recruitment order before, not Liu Yan's recruitment order, based on the above.

If there are book friends who can provide more sufficient and powerful evidence to prove that it was Liu Yan who was in Youzhou at that time, they are welcome to paste the evidence.

By the way, don't use the Romance of the Three Kingdoms as evidence...... At this time, Zhang Fei was still a teenager, Liu Bei, who was born in 161, was only 25 years old, Guan Yu was set to be 24 years old, Zhang Fei was set to be 8 years old when Liu Bei was 8 years old, and he was only 17 years old this year, but he developed early. By the way, Chen Chen and Guo Jia were both born in 170 and are 15 years old this year, Xun You was born in 157 and is 29 years old, and Chen Xian was born in 152 years and is 34 years old. (185 years)]
