"Stop, let's camp here!"

Dozens of miles west of Wuzhou, the westernmost city of Yanmen County, although the sky was not completely dark, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, so with a gesture from Gongsun Xun, Cheng Pu immediately commanded those attendants to start camping.

Of course, in the Han realm, there were only 200 escorts, dozens of armor soldiers, and seven or eight county officials, saying that they were camping, but they just picked a leeward place to erect cloth curtains and pippens, and then took a little stone and wood to make a simple obstacle line with the accompanying carts.

In the end, Cheng Pu couldn't see it, and temporarily added another trench on the side of the cart. That's it, but it has already made those companions a little commotion and dissatisfaction.

To put it bluntly, the Han Dynasty did not say that it was a slave, saying that it was an accompaniment, but it was just a pawn recruited with the treatment of a man after committing a crime, and basic human rights still existed.

"I don't know what this Taishou means?" While the subordinates were setting up tents, Gongsun Xun and Lu Fan muttered something. "I asked him to fight the autumn wind, but he asked me to cross the Yellow River to Wuyuan County, and said that I would run a few times like this, whether it was a veteran, a war horse, or even a military fund...... Where did such a good thing come from, isn't it fooling me? ”

"Not really, right?" Lu Fan tightened the cloak on his body and reluctantly replied. "Isn't this Zhang Zhang Fujun from Qinghe? and Wenqi's father-in-law are both fellow villagers and friends...... We should not be so amused. ”

"It's just a fellow countryman, where are the friends?" Gongsun Xun couldn't help but shake his head. "When I first came to Yanmen, my father-in-law also wrote to me that this person is the best at seeing the wind and steering the rudder...... I'm afraid that when I saw my father-in-law become famous in the first battle, he became famous all over the world and immediately became a marquis, so he became a friend and called me a good nephew. ”

"Isn't it all the same in officialdom?" Lu Fan said disapprovingly. "It's Wenqi, you, who have been a little impatient lately...... Why? ”

Gongsun Xun couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this, and immediately introspected himself.

In other words, he was also born as a county official, and he barely got up in the middle-level official office of the Han Dynasty, where do you not know the atmosphere in this officialdom? Zang Min's resignation and Zhang Qi's hypocrisy here are the norm in officialdom...... As Lu Ziheng advised, if you really have some experience, you should let go of all kinds of emotions and focus on solving problems.

But then again, as long as he thinks that there will be such a big chaos in a few years, how can he Gongsun Xun not be eager to hold a soldier and horse?

"Shaojun!" Just when Gongsun Xun was thinking wildly, Han Dang suddenly came to his side. "Zhang Bingcao is here."

Gongsun Xun nodded slightly, and then hurriedly put on a smiling face and greeted him: "Gong Zhang is hard!" ”

"Oh, a small official, how dare you call yourself a public in front of Sima?" The accompanying Yanmen County soldier Cao Rafter and Zhang Ze hurriedly resigned immediately when they heard this.

"Zhang Gong is nearly forty years old, and he can be called an elder." Gongsun Xun said disapprerovingly, and then took advantage of the situation to join the other party, and opened his big curtain to cover the wind for the other party. "Xun Yijie is weak, how can he not be polite?"

In other words, Gongsun Xun has been in Yanmen for three or four months, although he has been staying in Pingcheng, looking harmless except for roe deer, but how can the people in the county ignore a Qianshi other division Sima stationed in this county? Who doesn't know his details? And since people can be the soldiers of a county, they must be from a large local family, and they have some means and abilities, how can they be ignorant?

Therefore, when Zhang Ze saw the other party's attitude, he immediately laughed: "Gongsun Sima wants to ask something, even if you ask, I, Zhang, definitely don't dare to accept such courtesy from you!" ”

The other party was so straightforward, Gongsun Xun looked a little embarrassed, but even so, the action of covering the other party with his hand did not stop after all.

"Don't hide it from Zhang Bingcao." Seeing that his father-in-law was embarrassed, Lu Fan on the side hurriedly surrendered his hand. "Actually, I don't have anything to inquire about, I just want to ask the elders, your family said that this trip to Wuyuan can get soldiers and horses and supplies...... What is the truth behind this? I don't know the details, I'm really empty! ”

When Zhang Bingcao heard this, he quickly explained: "I know...... In fact, Gongsun Sima and a few others don't need to be suspicious, my family's mansion is indeed a good intention, and this trip to Wuyuan is indeed an excellent beauty difference, because we are here to take the retreat. ”

Gongsun Xun and Lu Fan glanced at each other, but they became more and more dazed, and the latter immediately asked again: "Dare to ask what does this withdrawal mean?" ”

"The so-called relocation." Zhang Bingcao said slightly. "It means that because the Xianbei and Qiang people harassed too much, some of the cantonments were really unable to support them, so they moved the households from other places to the interior. This can be regarded as the imperial court's concession strategy for the western and northern counties of the state in recent years. But not to mention these, Gongsun Sima and a few people think about it, in a broken place like Wuyuan, there are only four or five thousand households in a dozen or so cities, and they are said to be private households, but in fact, what is the difference between them and military households? And every family has horses, all of them are good at fighting, and they are naturally elite cavalry pawns......"

Hearing this, Gongsun Xun, Lu Fan, and Han Dang looked at each other again, but their eyes lit up - I don't want to, this Yanmen guards Zhang Qi and really pointed out a broad road!

Zhang Bingcao saw Gongsun Xun wake up, and immediately stopped saying more.

"Then thank you Gong Zhang." Seeing that Gongsun Xun knew it in his heart, Lu Fan hurriedly thanked the other party for his father-in-law.

"What's this?" Zhang Bingcao couldn't help laughing. "I knew that you didn't know, I should have said it to Gongsun Sima earlier, and I also had doubts all the way to the province...... And so courteous. ”

Everyone laughed in unison, but then couldn't help but feel embarrassed...... In other words, this matter is explained so simply and clearly, but it makes people a little caught off guard. You must know that the camp over there is still under construction, several people are standing together, Gongsun Xun is still here holding a big hat to block the wind for the other party, and it is not easy to provoke people, but I don't know what to say for a while.

"Hmm...... Dare to ask Zhang Gong's hometown? Yanmen is vast, I don't know where it is, but the world lives here? "Gongsun Xun is looking for something to say, anyway, when you have nothing to say these days, it is always okay to ask others about their origins and discuss their ancestors.

"I am a native of Mayi." Sure enough, this Zhang Ze Zhang Bingcao immediately sighed slightly when he heard this. "And when it comes to living here...... Don't hide it from Gongsun Sima and a few, how much more is it a world residence? Our Yanmen Zhang clan has existed in Mayi for several generations before the continuation of the family. ”

"It's funny." Lu Fan on the side was quite curious. "The surname has a long history, if it is said that a surname starts from a certain place, it is common, after all, the feudal system was practiced in ancient times, and there were many kings and grandsons who changed their surnames after arriving in the fief. But if it is said that it existed somewhere before the continuation of the sect, I can only think of the example of Langya Zhuge clan...... In the Qin and Han dynasties, Ge Ying lived there for a long time, and later Han Wu took pity on Ge Ying's innocent killing, so he named his descendants as county candidates, so most of Ge Ying's descendants changed their surnames to Zhuge ......"

Gongsun Xun listened to the words of Zhuge , Han Wu, and changing his surname, but his thoughts were chaotic, but he suddenly remembered something, and then couldn't help blurting out: "Could it be that Zhang Gong is a descendant of Nie Yi, and he changed his surname to avoid resentment?" ”

Lu Fan was stunned for a moment: "Is this so?" That Nie Yi of Ma Yi's scheme? ”

Zhang Bingcao smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Gongsun Sima is young, but he is well-informed, this is the origin of our Yanmen Zhang family...... However, you two must give me some face, and don't call my ancestors by their names in public. ”

Gongsun Xun and Lu Fan hurriedly apologized, but the latter couldn't help but become more and more curious, so he couldn't help but ask: "After three hundred years, I naturally know if I don't dwell on the past anymore, but I don't know whose grievances Ling Zu avoided at the beginning, whether it was to avoid the Huns or the Wang Hui family who committed suicide, and he actually changed his surname?" ”

"Both!" Zhang Bingcao sighed. "At that time, the Han and Hun conquests were non-stop, and since it was in the border county, the ancestor was afraid of both the Huns' retaliation and the Wang's retaliation, so he changed his surname Zhang for a while. And when Han Wu won a complete victory and Wei Huo made contributions, the family once wanted to change it back, but there was another Xiongnu royal family in the court, Jin Riyan, who was powerful, so he simply extinguished this idea. ”

Lu Fan also shook his head when he heard this: "As far as I know, the Jin family Xuanhe has been in power for several generations, and when Wang Mang was in chaos, he fled to Shandong, and changed his surname to Cong in order to avoid trouble...... It's, it's really not knowing what to say. ”

Zhang Bingcao couldn't help but smile bitterly again.

"It's all about it." Gongsun Xun's patience was long overwhelmed, but when he heard this, he took the opportunity to make a summary. "It's been hundreds of years, and what does he say?"

"That's the same, it's all over again." Zhang Ze also nodded yes. "It's been more than three hundred years, and everyone in our family's sub-county knows about it, and even the Huns in Xihe County know about my family's affairs, but they don't come to take revenge ......for half of it."

Gongsun Xun nodded again and again: "Gong Zhang can be a soldier in a county, Cao Rafter, I think your Zhang family still has a lot of roots in Yanmen over the years." ”

"It's all the hardships of the ancestors who overcame thorns, so that our descendants can sit back and enjoy their success."

"Then dare to ask Zhang Gong, I don't know what outstanding young people in your clan are there now?" Gongsun Xun continued to suppress his excitement and asked pretendically.

"The people in the border county are just dancing with knives and guns, even if there are a few children who are not successful, they can't compare to Gongsun Sima's civil and military skills, right?" Zhang Bingcao's emotion was particularly sincere. "I can't call it a ...... outstanding"

"I heard that there is a man named Zhang Liao." Gongsun Xun finally couldn't hold back. "There is the courage of ten thousand people!"

"Who said this to Gongsun Sima?" Zhang Bingcao couldn't help but ask in amazement.

"A few days ago, I was shooting and hunting in Baishan Mountain, and I forgot to mention it casually by a local hero...... Is there really such a person in the Zhang Gong clan? Gongsun Xun is getting more and more impatient.

"Yes, yes." Zhang Bingcao suddenly said. "But it's better for Gongsun Sima to cut ties with that local hero first, otherwise it will be difficult to get along with me, a distant clansman."

"Why is that?"

"Although my brother Zhang Liao has been strong since he was a child, he is eight years old, and when I saw him in the township last year, I saw him pouring hot water on the insect nest! I think there is the courage of ten thousand insects, but the courage of ten thousand people is not enough! ”

Gongsun Xun couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he heard this, and Zhang Bingcao and Lu Fan, and even Han Dang on the side also laughed...... I have to say that the wind is blowing, and the atmosphere is quite happy for a while.

"Meet Sima." At this moment, an escort suddenly came to report. "The camp tent has been set up, Cheng Junhou invites you to rest!"

Gongsun Xun stopped laughing, seeing that this person was strong and burly, but he was also a brave warrior, but because of his companionship, he only wore a single coat in the wind, and at this time, sweat was pouring out of his forehead, and his face was full of dust...... It's quite unbearable. So, he casually untied the big gun he was holding, threw it at this person to prevent the wind, and said hard again, and then beat the horse to rest.

"Taizu was a young official, quite aware of the people's suffering, and saw the chaos in the world, when he felt that he had a useful life, so all from the army, up to the generals, down to the subordinates, all followed Wu Qi's compassion. Over time, it gradually gained its strength to die. - "New Yanshu". Emperor Taizu Wu Benji
