3,000 generals, hundreds of ironworks craftsmen, countless heavy horses, loaded with nearly 200 ships of all kinds, took advantage of the moonlight to sail into the Weishui River and went eastward, filling the river with mighty waves, and there was a domineering spirit of "hundreds of boats competing for the current".

As the sky grew brighter, the fleet arrived at Tongguan.

Tongguan, facing Shanxi across the Yellow River in the north, bordering Henan with Hangu in the east, the Yellow River and the Wei River meet here at the same time, known as the traffic key point of "the rooster crows to listen to the three provinces", it is a military important place for soldiers to fight for since ancient times.

There is a barrage on the river surface of Tongguan to collect the tax of customs and Tianjin for merchant ships.

Nowadays, although the imperial court has raised the controversy over whether to cancel the tax on Guanjin, people in Guanjin everywhere in the world are already panicking, and they are all worried about the future. As a result, many checkpoints have become more reckless than before, and they have severely exploited past caravans, which has aroused the anger of the heavens and people.

However, as long as you see this majestic five-tooth battleship from a distance, naturally no one will be blind and die to intercept Fang Jun's fleet......

Hearing that Fang Jun's fleet had arrived at Guanxia, the Tongguan garrison ordered the soldiers to open the gate and let them go, disperse all the merchant ships to ensure that Fang Jun's fleet passed first, and at the same time hurried to board the ship to meet him.

The feudal officials who are not as weak as the crown, even if they are unruly and have a deep background, they dare not take it lightly, the rule of officialdom is that everyone carries a sedan chair, you offended such a promising official today, how do you know that it will not fall into the hands of others in the future?

Even if they are in different camps, there is rarely such superficial resistance and neglect.

Who knows when the wind above will change, and the current opponent will become a comrade-in-arms in one camp?

The Tongguan garrison is a general surnamed Cheng, his face in his twenties is still a little childish, but he is tall and strong, and his body is as strong as an iron tower.

"Erlang is really lucky, he can go south to the south of the Yangtze River to show his skills, but he has to guard such a checkpoint and be scolded as a vampire by the caravans, it's really envious!"

This person is very familiar, although he doesn't recognize Fang Jun, but he doesn't see outside, and he complains when he meets, but he is not annoying.

Fang Jun likes this kind of young general who looks like a fierce general, he is good and obedient, he moves forward bravely in battle, even if he escapes, he can break the rear with one force, and he is the best candidate to be a "meat shield......

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, Fang Jun smiled and hugged his fists and said: "In Xia Fang Jun, didn't you ask your brother Taigui's surname?" ”

The fierce general grinned and hugged his fists, showing a mouthful of white teeth, and laughed at himself: "What is expensive, a certain surname Cheng, the name is very strong, my father is Cheng Mingzhen, the assassin of Zhouzhou, and he also had a relationship with Fang Xiang in the past, and my father has always regretted that he failed to listen to Fang Xiang's teachings, which is a pity." ”

Fang Jun was stunned for a moment, Cheng Wuting? Cheng Mingzhen?

Recently, I seem to have been quite lucky, and the celebrities have appeared one after another.

Liu Renliang, Xi Junmai, Su Dingfang, Pei Xingjian, Cheng Wuting...... All of them are the mainstay of the future Tang Dynasty, these famous generals who were generally admired and respected in the history books in the past, intersected with Fang Jun one after another, how lucky?

Fang Jun said politely: "I have heard of the prestige of General Cheng, but it is a pity that I can't see it." My father has mentioned more than once in front of my younger brother that General Cheng is brave and kind-hearted, and if there is an opportunity in the future, my brother will definitely introduce him to my younger brother. ”

Cheng Wuting laughed: "If my father learns these two comments from Fang Xiang, I am afraid that he will be so excited that he can't sleep, and he can't drink three cups!" ”

Cheng Mingzhen is also a famous general in the history of the early Tang Dynasty!

In his early years, he served as the commander of Pule County under Dou Jiande, and during his tenure, he had outstanding political achievements, bravery, and a very good reputation, so thieves did not dare to set foot in Pule County. After he returned to the Tang Dynasty in the fourth year of Wude, Li Yuan sealed him with the Yongning Order and let him pass through Hebei. Soon after, he attacked Ye County at night and arrested more than 1,000 people, including many men and women, and he relented and let the lactating women go. Therefore, the people of Ye County are very grateful for his kindness and have a good reputation in Hebei. Liu Heimin's counterattack was fierce, he knew that he was invincible, and ran back to Chang'an, where his mother and wife unfortunately fell into the hands of the enemy and finally died tragically.

The "Old Tang Book" said that "Mingzhen also sought black hair from Taizong", and these military exploits inevitably belonged to Li Shimin's wise leadership. But Fang Jun knew that in fact, Li Shimin and Cheng Mingzhen didn't know each other at all, let alone assigned him to do this and that.

The history books mention that "and the black Minping, Mingzhen please behead the black Min, with its head to sacrifice the mother." It was Li Jiancheng who caught Liu Heimin, and it was Li Jiancheng who ordered Liu Heimin to be killed. Cheng Mingzhen wants to kill the enemy with his own hands, and take Liu Heimin's head to sacrifice his mother, and it is self-evident who he wants to "invite" with him. Later, "Mingzhen worshiped the governor of Yingzhou Prefecture with merit, sealed the prince of Dong County, and gave 2,000 pieces of goods and 300 taels of gold." Tired of the history of the thorn in the state. ”

Moreover, Shandong and Hebei have always been the sphere of influence of the crown prince King Qi, and it is conceivable who Cheng Mingzhen is. With Cheng Mingzhen's qualifications, he is still a thorn in Zhaozhou, which shows that he is not treated by His Majesty Li Er......

Therefore, when Li Shimin was about to attack Liaodong, he saw Cheng Mingzhen, who had already served as the governor of Yingzhou, for the first time, and said that he had the instrument of the general, and he wanted to promote and reuse him......

Very interesting person!

The fleet was huge and the action was bloated, even if the gate was released to pass first, it would not be able to finish for a while, so Fang Jun asked Cheng Wuting to sit down for a while and chatted.

"I just heard my brother's complaint, and I don't seem to be very satisfied with my current official position?" Fang Jun asked casually.

Cheng Wuting was entangled in this black face that had passed Fang Jun: "It's not that I'm not dissatisfied with my official position, but I don't want to stay like this and be a tax collector!" The place in Zhaozhou has always been chaotic, and it was tossed by Dou Jiande for thousands of miles, and they were all killed in battles, so the bandits swarmed and were eroded, and it has been better in recent years. At the age of fourteen, he went into battle with his father to suppress bandits, and he was a pioneer in the battle, and he did not taste defeat! With such strength, it is to make contributions on the battlefield, how can he be a tax collector in this small Tongguan? But my father couldn't speak in front of His Majesty, and there was no one in the court who could be accommodating. ”

As he spoke, a pair of big eyes stared at Fang Jun, testing Fang Jun's reaction.

Fang Jun laughed secretly in his heart, this guy seems to be rough and reckless, but in fact, he is also brave and strategic, and he actually wants to find a way on his side...... But Fang Jun is not disgusted, who let this guy really fight? With this macho man by your side, even if you lose the battle and run away, you can have one more cushion on your back......

Fang Junhao was angry, patted his chest and said: "How can a hero fall into recklessness and have ambitions but not be able to display them? If Brother Tai really wants to charge into battle and fight for a wife and son to go down in history, the younger brother will repair a letter to his father, asking him to ask for a grace in front of His Majesty, so that Brother Tai can serve under the command of the younger brother, and our brothers will level the East China Sea and cross the ocean together, wouldn't it be happy? ”

Cheng Wu was overjoyed: "Is Erlang's words true? ”

Fang Jun glared and said: "Go to Chang'an to inquire, there is a saying that our second room is a mallet, who dares to say that our second room is untrustworthy?" Big mouth slap him to death! ”

"Hahaha! I have long heard that Fang Erlang is fierce and responsible, he is a tough and well-known hero, and he is convinced! I went back and resigned from the tax collector, and waited for Erlang's order, and the more than 100 catties were handed over to Erlang! From now on, I will be sure to point where to fight, and the sea of swords and fires frowned, and they were raised by a son of a bitch! ”

The two looked at each other and laughed.

In fact, Fang Jun knew in his heart that if he said how much Cheng Wuting recognized him, it would be pure. The more capable a person is, the less he will be able to convince people easily, Su Dingfang is like this, and Cheng Wuting is also the same.

But Fang Jun has a big trend!

Who doesn't know that Goguryeo is a demon in the heart of His Majesty Li Er? Who doesn't know that the sailor who joined Fang Jun is equivalent to the pawn of His Majesty Li Er's Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo? Those family gate lords would rather be slaughtered by Fang Jun one after another, isn't it just to be able to join the sailor to make meritorious achievements?

As long as you can join me, I can take you and the others in!

You Cheng Wuting is like this, and so is Su Dingfang!

Once you travel back, if you can't collect a few fierce generals to play, wouldn't you be blind to God's grace?

The two were talking and laughing, when suddenly there was a shout from the shore.

Fang Jun lifted the curtains on the boat, glanced at the shore, and was immediately happy......
