Liu Liang was a little confused.

Why didn't I get the wind earlier?

Then there was a bearded girl who put a robe on him: "Feng Langjun, it's a little cold in the early morning in this mountain, so it's better to wear an extra piece of clothing." ”

So Liu Liang thought about it: How long has Lao Tzu been in the mountains?

After doing the math, it seems that it has been more than ten days.

Convincing the Hu people is one aspect.

On the other hand, the mountains here are good and the water is good, so the quality of the Hu Nu is also higher than that outside.

So it makes sense to stay a few more days.

After Liu Liang figured it out, he immediately turned his head and instructed the people he had brought over:

"Pack up your things now, I'm going out of the mountain!"

"Lang Jun, where are you going?"

"Go to Dunhuang and find Zhang's family!"

The tone was very loud, but Hu Renqu Shuai, who had been following him, heard it, but his body was shocked, and then he was honored again, only to see him say with a smiling face:

"Feng Langjun, I'll escort you!"

"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile, don't attract attention, pick out the best warriors in the clan, not too many."

Although the army of the Han Dynasty has not yet entered Dunhuang, it has not even reached Jiuquan County in the east.

But according to Liu Liang's observations in the past few months, Liangzhou is now in a state of collapse at any time.

A few days ago, after the news of the first battle of Xiaoguan spread throughout Liangzhou, it crushed the will of most people in Liangzhou to resist.

So now as soon as the news of the Han army entering Liangzhou spreads, chaos must have begun outside.

So it's not a bad thing to have more guards.

"Understood, understood, I'll arrange it."

Hu Renqu Shuai hurriedly responded, turned around and went down to arrange.

From Sanwei Mountain to Dunhuang City, there are nearly ninety miles, not far, not too close.

Liu Liang and his entourage hurried to the foot of Dunhuang City, only to see that there were sergeants at the city gate who began to check the suspicious people entering and leaving, but the city gate was still wide open, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

It is clear that the city of Dunhuang was not under martial law because of the Han army's entry into Liangzhou.

Think about it, there is no trace of the Han army in Jiuquan County in the east, and Dunhuang has naturally not reached the point of closing the city gate.

The only trouble is that Liu Liang's team is not only mixed with Hu people, but even Liu Liang himself, and the clothes on his body are also half Hu and half Han.

So naturally, it was subject to the key investigation of the city gate defenders.

However, as soon as the other party heard that Liu Liang was going to Zhang's Mansion, he immediately waved his hand and let him go, not even bothering to say anything superfluous.

However, Liu Liang felt that in this case, the defenders of Dunhuang City were still so lax, and they really didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

When he arrived at the gate of Zhang's mansion, he was stunned.

Without him, it turned out that the front of Zhang's Mansion was already full of cars and horses, bustling, and people outside couldn't squeeze in if they wanted to.

Liangzhou is stormy, as the largest snake in Dunhuang, and at the same time, Zhangjiajia advocates Gong and is the captain of Wuji in the Western Regions.

Although it is nominally in charge of the Western Regions, it can't stand the respect of others.

Therefore, anyone who has a little identity has already thought of a way to hand over the name card to the Zhang family.

Whether Liangzhou can be defended or not is a very important question.

More importantly, what about Dunhuang?

After the death of Dunhuang Taishou Ma Ai, there was no county, and what was even worse was that Jiuquan and Zhangye in the east still had rebels to attack Dunhuang.

The people of the county recommended Zhang Gong to take charge, so that Dunhuang would not suffer from war.

Although the Han army has not even arrived in Jiuquan County now, everyone knows that the situation at this time is far more severe than back then.

In such a situation, if you don't look for Zhang Gong, who else can you find?

Xu Miao?

Don't be kidding, I heard that now that Wuwei is being attacked by the Han people from front to back, it is still a question of whether he has the life to run out in the end.

Therefore, outsiders can't be trusted, and in the end we have to rely on our own people in Liangzhou.

It has been three days since the news came from Wuwei, and those who are qualified to enter Zhang's Mansion have already entered.

Those who are not qualified to enter are waiting outside the house.

Only then did Liu Liang understand why the sergeant at the city gate was so easy to let him go as soon as he heard that he was going to Zhang's Mansion.

He looked at the crowd in front of him, gritted his teeth, and ordered his followers to squeeze a way for him.

It's the height of summer, and it's easy to get angry.

In addition, everyone is worried about the situation in Liangzhou, and they are anxious.

Not to mention that most of the people in Liangzhou are bold people, and as soon as they were pushed by others, some people cheered loudly at the moment:

"Mother's in it! What is squeezing? In a hurry? ”

Liu Liang was also anxious here, and was scolded, so he was not to be outdone and scolded back:

"I have something to see Zhang Gong, it's about Dunhuang, if I don't give way, I'm afraid that the one who will mourn will not be me, but you!"

Only then did everyone notice that Liu Liang and his party were all dusty, and they only said that they came from the east to deliver the news, and immediately let go of a crack.

At the same time, someone shouted:

"This Lang Jun, Wu Wei's side, but what news is there?"

Liu Liangxin said, I just came out of the mountains, can there be news of a bird?

He squeezed his head forward, without looking back, and said impatiently:

"Xu Miao's life is almost gone, what else can I do?"

In normal times, someone dared to spread rumors at the gate of Zhang's mansion like this, and it was he who couldn't say that he was dying.

But at this time, Liu Liang was full of confidence, even if the Zhang family knew afterwards that he was talking nonsense, so what?

Behind him, there is a big backer.

Liu Langjun, who was beaten by society a few years ago, has long understood a truth:

In these years, if you want to go sideways, either you have to be bullish, preferably the kind that is against the sky, such as a certain turtle.

If you're not that awesome, at least your thighs should be awesome.

In the past, he thought that his adults were very good, but later he realized that he was thinking too much.

The fake adults can't compare to the real bullish turtles, and the truth is so cruel.

Although this story is a bit sad, if you really want to turn over, it is useless to be sad alone.

So Liu Langjun closed his eyes, stomped his feet, and turned around directly to hug Zhen Feng's thigh.

Disgusting is a little disgusting, but Feng Tu's name is really useful.

At least in this part of Liangzhou, it's really easy to use.

For example, Liu Liang knew that just because Zhang went to Longyou for a walk back then, and finally returned safely, the Zhang family would not do anything to himself with his back against Zhen Feng's thigh.

Although Liu Liang just said it casually, the people around him were in an uproar, and the faces of many people had changed greatly.

Even the concierge of Zhang's Mansion cautiously asked, "Dare to ask where Lang Jun came from?" Can you have a famous post? ”

"Nope!" Liu Hanzi said neatly, "You just have to go and tell Zhang Gongzi, just say that a certain surname is Liu, and he came to the house a few days ago." ”

When the porter heard this, he took a closer look at Liu Hanzi again, and only felt that this person seemed to be really familiar.

It's just that there are too many visitors these days, how can the porter remember them all?

In addition, Liu Liang in front of him was untidy, and his body faintly exuded the unique fishy smell of the Hu people, mixed with the sour smell of sweat, which was really flattering.

Looking at the imposing Lang Jun in front of him, who claimed to be surnamed Liu, the porter weighed it again and again in his heart, and finally said:

"Please wait a minute."

Liu surnamed Langjun, who has been to the house recently, has only one who has the deepest impression on Zhang Gongzi, that is, the one who "has the same surname as the Son of Heaven".

Zhang got a report from the porter and immediately asked Liu Liang to be admitted to the mansion.

When Liu Liang, under the leadership of Zhang's subordinates, walked through the corridor of the vestibule, he saw that the front hall not far away was crowded, and at the same time, there was a faint noise.

Thinking of the crowd outside the mansion gate again, he couldn't help but be curious, and asked tentatively:

"Your mansion seems to be quite lively today! I don't know what the joy is? ”

"Liangzhou is turbulent, the soldiers are uneasy, how can there be a happy event?"

Before the person leading the way in front of him could answer, the voice of another person suddenly came from the front.

Liu Liang looked up, and it turned out to be Zhang who personally went to the inner arch to greet him.

"I've seen Zhang Gongzi."

"Liu Langjun, please."

Zhang led Liu Liang into a side room, let people serve tea, and then continued:

"Wuwei Zhangye two counties, caught in the war, the news is cut off, now Dunhuang is rumors, the people's hearts are floating, so the Dunhuang fathers and elders gathered in the front hall to discuss how to protect Dunhuang."

Liu Liang is not a fool, when he heard Zhang Liang's words, he naturally knew that he was explaining on the surface, but he was actually showing himself the ability of the Zhang family.

Just seeing Zhang say this, Liu Liang smiled instead.

Only when you are on the weak side do you need to deliberately show that you are strong.

Like himself, even if he has lice crawling on his body, he doesn't say anything, doesn't he sit in Zhang's mansion and face to face with the son of the Zhang family?

"Zhang Gongzi, you and I are both understanding people, you know what I want to do when I came here today, and I also know that the Zhang family doesn't have much choice."

"I'll just say it straight, although I am not from Liangzhou, but I also know that most of the Wei troops in Liangzhou are gathered in Wuwei County, and now Wuwei is not feasible in the past, and there is no way back."

"Jiuquan and Dunhuang two counties, if they really have the ability to save Wuwei, the fathers and elders of Dunhuang will not gather in the front hall of your mansion."

"If Zhang Gong really wants to protect Dunhuang and prevent his father from suffering from war, why not take this opportunity to return to the Han Dynasty?"

"If you hesitate a little, just wait for Wuwei to lose, Zhang Gongzi thinks that only with the two counties of Dunhuang Jiuquan, how can you stop tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty?"

Liu Liang thought that his words were reasonable, and the Zhang family was suppressed by Xu Miao in the early years, so he was afraid that he had already swayed.

So even if you can't let the other party respond on the spot, at least you can make the other party excited.

I didn't think about it, but Zhang Yi's face was not shocked, and he said slowly:

"Liu Langjun, for such a major event, your own father is the master, you tell me, I'm afraid it's useless."

Liu Liang was stunned: "Dare to ask where Zhang Gong is now?" ”

"My father is ill and it is inconvenient to see guests."

When Liu Liang heard this, he originally had the psychology of seven or eight points of certainty, but he suddenly went to three or four points.

The Zhang family, it seems that you have other plans?

I saw Zhang pick up the teacup, blow the tea leaves gently, and then put it down again, and continued:

"And Liu Langjun is afraid that he is negligent, his father is the captain of Wuji in the Western Regions, and he is in charge of the affairs of the Western Regions, so how can he be the master of Liangzhou?"

Speaking of this, Zhang sighed again: "Otherwise, how could the Dunhuang fathers and elders negotiate in the Mansion for almost three days, and they didn't negotiate a charter?" ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang got up and arched his hand: "I still have to go to the front hall to say hello, I can't accompany you for a long time, please forgive me." ”

Then he called his subordinates and instructed: "Liu Langjun is a distinguished guest of my house, and he must serve with all his heart and soul, and there must be no slackness." ”

Liu Liang didn't expect this person to leave, and he was anxious in his heart.

If there is no help from the Zhang family, the effect of the Hu people responding to the army will be greatly reduced, not to mention the soldiers from all over Dunhuang.

He stood up immediately and shouted to Zhang, who was about to step out of the threshold:

"Gongzi Zhang, Marquis Feng has a word that he wants to bring to Gong Zhang."

Zhang Liang, who had his back to Liu Liang, flashed a flash of joy on his face, and at the same time secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He took a breath to gather his thoughts, and then turned around:

"I don't know what Feng Junhou has to say, do you want Liu Langjun to tell me?"

Liu Liang was silent.

Zhang Huiyi retreated, then closed the door again, and then sat down again and looked at Liu Liang: "You and I are the only ones here, Liu Langjun, please speak." ”

thought that Liu Liang of the Zhang family could persuade the Zhang family with his three-inch tongue, but he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated in his heart:

You still have to bring out the backers behind you in order to be able to suppress people!

However, this thought is only fleeting, because the most important thing at the moment is the immediate matter.

"Feng Junhou once said: Liangzhou Haoyou, or regard Qiang Hu as a beast and drive it like livestock, causing the Hu people to accumulate resentment, rebellion and rebellion, affecting the people."

"Or for his own selfishness, he is willing to be with the Hu people, forget his ancestors, abandon his Chinese clothes, and be despised by others."

"Only Zhang Gong, in the troubled times, tried his best to ensure the peace of one side, stop the rebellion, pass through the Western Regions, and appease Huyi, which was done by the big husband."

"If you are lucky, it will be comforting to meet Zhang Gong."

When Liu Liang said, "This is what the big husband did", Zhang had already stood up and listened with his head down.

After Liu Liang finished speaking, Zhang raised his head suddenly, "Marquis Feng...... Did you really say that?! ”

Looking at Zhang Zhuo, who couldn't help himself, and then remembering that he was not shocked by his own waves, the corners of Liu Liang's mouth twitched:

The face of this Feng Tu turtle...... It's really big to get into the mother!

And this Zhang Zhi, you have suffered a big loss in the hands of others, look at your face now, do you really not remember it at all?

"At this time, what's the use of me deceiving Zhang Gongzi? Besides, I don't dare to deceive Zhang Gong! ”

The joy on Zhang Qiang's face became stronger: "With Feng Junhou's words, the Zhang family is worry-free!" Liu Langjun, please! ”

Liu Liang was stunned: "Huh? Where to? ”

"I'm going to see my father."

This...... That's it?

Liu Liang was a little unable to turn a corner for a while.

"Liu Langjun, please?"

Zhang saw that Liu Liang was not moving, and urged again.

Liu Liang finally reacted, and then glanced at Zhang Yu with complicated eyes, and at the same time a sentence rose in his heart: Join the mother! Bah!

Zhang led Liu Liang over the vestibule, connected two arches, and went straight into the backyard of Zhang's mansion, and took him to Zhang Gong's room where he was recuperating:

"My lord, Liu Langjun is here."

Liu Liang straightened his clothes, and then stepped forward to salute: "Senior Liu Liang, I have seen Zhang Gong." ”

Zhang Gong, who got the news in advance, half-lay on the couch, looked at Liu Liang, smiled, and signaled, "Liu Langjun, please take a seat." ”

"Thank you, Gong Zhang."

While sitting down, Liu Liang took the opportunity to sneak a glance at Zhang Gong and found that his face was withered and sick.

Only those eyes still have a clear essence, showing that the old man's consciousness is still awake.

Liu Liang couldn't help but be a little worried, looking at this Zhang Gong, it is difficult to even stay now, and I don't know if he can really grasp the situation in Dunhuang?

He was thinking like this, but Zhang Gong looked at Liu Liang with burning eyes:

"Although I have never seen Feng Junhou, I have just heard Liu Langjun's words to Feng Junhou, but if there is nectar in my heart, all of a sudden, I have the feeling of meeting a confidant in my life."

"Now I only feel sick on my body, and I went to seven or eight points at once, and I asked Liu Langjun to tell Feng Junhou: Zhang Gong is also eager to see Junhou and comfort him with him."

Liu Liang hurriedly responded, and then came back to his senses, and said in surprise: "Zhang Gong said this, but he is willing to respond to the Han Dynasty to welcome the king?" ”

Zhang Gong said indifferently: "Liangzhou and Guan have been interrupted for several years, and the people's hearts have long been lost. ”

"Zhang Gong has this vision, which is really a blessing for the people of Dunhuang!"

Zhang Gong leaned on the pillow and tried to make himself as comfortable as possible: "Dare to ask Liu Langjun, if the Zhang family responds to the Han with the strength of the whole clan, I don't know what the benefit is?" ”

Liu Liang said "ah", he really didn't expect that Zhang Gong, who was famous and admired in Xizhou, would say such things so unabashedly.

Zhang Gong's face did not change: "What I just said is about state affairs, and now I am talking about family affairs, and now the two are not in conflict, right?" ”

"No conflict, no conflict!"

Liu Liang hurriedly said.

"The old man's time is short, he can't rest assured that his descendants will want to make some heirlooms for them, it doesn't matter if he wants this cheek or not."

Zhang Gong said slowly, "Feng Junhou's previous words made the old man willing to do state affairs, but I don't know if there are any other words that you want Liu Langjun to bring to the old man?" ”

At this time, Liu Liang finally felt that the huge prestige of the old man in front of him was really not a fluke.
