Verse 261: After the general
Zhang Yang left only a few days ago, and another mysterious visitor came to Guan Yan's mansion.
"Zhang Ji envoy?" Guan Yan tapped the table with his right hand: "What did Zhang Ji send someone to do?" What's the name of the person who came? ”
"The person who came was a middle-aged scribe, and he did not tell his name, but he could only tell the lord in detail after he saw him." Dian Wei replied.
After the death of Dong Zhuo, the rest of the northwest was mainly led by Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji, and the four of them first collected the rest and attacked the old capital Chang'an, Chang'an defender Xu Rong was killed, Hu Zhen led the troops to surrender, and the four were able to enter Chang'an, Li Dao and Guo Yan were the most powerful, and from the co-stationed in Chang'an, Fan Chou's power was slightly inferior, so he had to be stationed in Liucheng, sixty miles northwest of Chang'an; Zhang Ji is small, had to Tun and Hongnong County in order to seek Gou'an, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou all have the heart of annexation, forced by the situation, temporary peace, after Li Dao was afraid of Fan Chou's bravery, pretending to invite the meeting, during the banquet, Li Dao drunk Fan Chou, so that his nephew Hu Feng cane to kill him. Guo Yan saw that Li Dao was vicious, and secretly guarded himself, and there was a lot of friction in Chang'an City.
At this time, in the past two years, Zhang Ji, who had shrunk into Hongnong County, had repeatedly and surprisingly encroached on the territory of Li and Guo.
The turmoil in the northwest is exactly the equilibrium result that Guan Yan wants, so Guan Yan's mind has not been in the northwest in the past few years, and he wants to wait for the general situation of the Central Plains to be settled before dealing with it, but now that Zhang Ji has taken the initiative to send someone over, no matter what the matter is, he will inquire first.
Guan Yan thought for a moment and instructed Dian Wei: "Please have tea in the hall first, and I will come later." ”
After Dian Wei left, Guan Yan quietly changed into soft armor, and then walked towards the hall. Guan Yan is afraid of death now, thinking that in the Copper Money Valley, when Guan Yan is about to die, all he feels in his heart is that he came to this era in a hurry, and he has a little regret; But now, how many people's lives are closely related to themselves! And every time I think of Cai Yan and Diao Chan, especially looking at their increasingly bulging waists, I remind myself all the time to be careful in the world, now I am no longer alone, I am carrying a family on my body!
Guan Yan walked away, carefully sorting out the clothes that were wrinkled because of wearing soft armor, and came to the door of the living room, Guan Yan deliberately coughed dryly, to arouse the idea of Zhang Ji's envoy, and after a while, he pushed the door in; Guan Yan raised his eyes and glanced around, only to see a scribe standing next to the guest seat, looking at Guan Yan, who was about forty years old, seven feet tall, dressed in a dark robe, with a pair of slightly cloudy eyes, looking at Guan Yan who pushed the door in.
The two glanced at each other, and the scribe saluted, "Meet the hussar general!" ”
"Sir, please be seated!" Guan Yan slowly walked to the main seat, waved his hand and said to the scribe.
"General Xie!" The scribe answered, but did not sit down immediately, but waited for Guan Yan to sit down on the throne, and then sat down slowly.
I know how to count etiquette! Guan Yan, who saw the scribe's actions in his eyes, looked at the scribe again, and secretly praised in his heart: good demeanor.
"Where did the gentleman come from?"
"Hongnong is here."
"Oh, Hongnon!" Guan Yan smiled, remembering the chaotic situation in the northwest in the past two days, and said tentatively: "Yan heard that General Zhang had a strong army, and thought that he had already captured Chang'an, how could he still succumb to Hongnong Town!" ”
"Hehe, the hussar general laughed." The scribe lightly twisted his beard and smiled: "General Li, General Guo and General Zhang are originally the same family, and they should be the same enemy and defend against foreign enemies together!" ”
"Hahaha~" Guan Yan laughed: "At the beginning, the four generals under Dong Zhuo's account were all brothers to each other, but poor Fan Chou died at the hands of his own brother, sad, lamentable!" ”
The scribe was choked, but he was not annoyed, but he bowed his hand slightly: "I have heard that the hussars are quick to think, and now I see it, and I admire it." Since ancient times, flesh and blood brothers, parents and relatives have still drawn swords against each other, not to mention the same generals? ”
Guan Yan is now accustomed to hearing flattery, and he doesn't pay attention to the quibbles of the scribes, and today he mainly wants to see what Zhang Ji wants to do: "What is the matter with me today, sir?" ”
"General Zhang has been looking up to Dongxiang for a long time, and now I am on his orders and have come to meet him!" The scribe said that the clouds were light and clear, and there was not a trace of waves.
Vote for me? Guan Yan was a little stunned, for so many years, try to look at Xuzhou, Jizhou, Luoyang and other places, which territory doesn't have to work hard, and even fight against each other, and then look at Chen Deng, Fu Zhu, Zhang Yan and other talents, which is not a battle of wits and courage, and even almost lost his life a few times, so that they can be used for their own use, in troubled times, Guan Yan, who is accustomed to blood and fire tempering, now has a warlord who takes the initiative to match, how can this not surprise Guan Yan?
His heart was surging, and Guan Yan didn't show the slightest expression on his face. Guan Yan took a deep breath, raised the teacup and took a sip of tea, but his eyes looked out of the door leisurely: "General Zhang is on one side, I often hear that General Zhang is from the son Zhang Xiu, known as the 'Northland Gun King', has the courage of ten thousand people, and now the soldiers are strong and strong, it is the time to show his strength, why vote for me?" ”
Guan Yan was actually a little empty in his heart, and he used the action of drinking tea to hide his helplessness, and to calm the brakes, and see what the scribe said in detail before making a decision.
But at this time, the expression on the scribe's face became a little exciting, his eyes widened, and he looked directly at the teacup in Guan Yan's hand, his mouth was open and wide, and he didn't know what he was muttering.
"Sir?" Sensing the scribe's unusual behavior, Guan Yan followed his gaze and looked at his teacup: "Sir? What is different about this tea? ”
The scribe swallowed his saliva and calmed down: "It's not a tea set!" The scribe stood up, looked at Guan Yan with surprise in his eyes and arched his hand, "Dare to ask the general if he has Mo Lingyu in his hand?" ”
Well?! Guan Yan was shocked in his heart, this ink spirit jade is a token of the head of the Linzi Guan family, for hundreds of years, the housekeeper has been low-key, don't say that this ink spirit jade, even if it mentions the Linzi housekeeper, it is very well known?
This scribe is not simple! Guan Yan slowly put down the teacup and raised his eyebrows: "Sir, how do you know Mo Lingyu?" ”
The scribe did not answer, but continued to ask: "Dare to ask the general, but is he the head of the Linzi Guan family?" At this moment, the gloom that had always been in the eyes of the scribes was gone, and in its place was a look of anticipation.
Having said that, there is no need for Guan Yan to hide anything, I am afraid that this scribe knows more than himself: "Yan is the twenty-third generation head of the Linzi Guan family. With that, Guan Yan took off the Mo Lingyu, put it in the palm of his hand, and generously stretched it forward for the scribe to take a closer look.
Hearing Guan Yan's personal explanation, and seeing the ink spirit jade in Guan Yan's palm that had changed into a straight strip, the scribe was sure in his heart, and suddenly knelt down with relief, and bowed with tears in his eyes: "After the clan general, Jia Xu will visit the head of the family!" ”
