Hearing that Zhang Qing also wanted to recommend talents to himself, Xiao Tang, who was familiar with the Water Margin, naturally knew very well which character he wanted to recommend, but he didn't talk about the answer in his heart at the moment, and asked Zhang Qing again: "Since Brother Zhang Qing was promoted, he must also be a capable person, but I don't know what his surname is, and how is he good at?" ”

As expected, Zhang Qing immediately reported again: "The younger brother wants to recommend that person, surnamed Huangfu, the name is duan, this person is good at horses, knows the symptoms of cold and heat in the head and mouth, and uses medicinal needles, all of them can be cured, and he really has the talent of Bole." He was originally a native of Youzhou under the rule of the Liao State, because he was born with blue eyes and yellow beard, and he looked like a person, so he was called 'Purple Haired Uncle', and the two mountains of Qingzhou were also useful elsewhere. ”

Sure enough, it was the last one to show his face in the original book among the one hundred and eight generals, and the penultimate one who defected to Liangshan to join the Juyi... Xiao Tang secretly thought in his heart, he was really very curious about this Liangshan leader who had little ink in the book, it is said that he was a good citizen in the city, but judging from the attitude of the strong man recruited by the green forest, the original book said that Song Jiang was praised because he saw Huangfu Duan's uncommon expression, and Huangfu Duan saw Song Jiang so righteous, and he was very happy in his heart, and he was willing to ...... Compared with Li Ying, Xiao Rang, Jin Dajian, Du Xing and others who lived happily in the township, Song Jiang and Wu Yong also had to use some means to win them in, but from Huangfu Duan's mental description, it seems that he has no rejection of the grass and green forest, and his attitude is also very simple.

A capable man who is good at raising horses and treating horses, Xiao Tang once saved the "Qiji Bian Que" Chang Shun by the way in Dazhai at the southern foot of Taihang Mountain in Gaizhou, and later he specially helped himself to manage the horse herding supervisors under his name He is also very attentive, including Chang Shun's grandson Chang Boda is now a little old, and he has also learned many of his grandfather's skills in herding horses and horses, but Chang Shun is honest and honest, with a very low sense of existence, and he is also extremely afraid of green forest bandits. Since Chang Shun is of great use to himself in the official face, Xiao Tang did not intend to force him to fall into the grass and become a thief, because Chang Shun is also one of the few people in charge of the Xiao family and does not know that his master is acting in the green forest and officialdom.

But the situation of this purple-haired uncle Huangfu is completely different, Xiao Tangxin said that the war horses in the green forests and villages under his command need to be fed and cared for, and he really needs such a ministry leader who specializes in horses, thinking of this, Xiao Tang asked Zhang Qing again: "There are many capable people in the north who are good at horse herding, since this Mr. Huangfu has the ability to apply medicinal needles for the cold and heat diseases of war horses, and all of them can be cured, after the Great Song Dynasty reopened the horse herding prison, why didn't he go to the horse prison to settle down, but to live in seclusion here?" ”

After hearing this, Zhang Qing replied with a smile: "My brother must also know that in addition to the horse farms under his name, there are capable people to help him, and the horse herding supervisors in other realms are in flux and cannot make ends meet (there are 562 horses in Raozhou in the history of the Song Dynasty, and 5 out of 300 are killed, and 7 out of 20 are made of horses...... Although Mr. Huangfu has the ability, he is the identity of the Liao State to move to the countryside, and he is a bird who has to be bullied by the officials when he goes to Raozhou and other places, and Mr. Huangfu gave up the post of herding horse supervisor in a fit of anger, and wandered around with his family, and finally settled here, and made a living by treating all the cattle and horses outside the large households in the counties and towns under the rule of Bozhou.

The reason why the younger brother is familiar with him is also because in the past, when the Bozhou Military Division dismounted the horse epidemic in the military camp, he also had his help, and the younger brother occasionally interacted with Mr. Huangfu every day, and confessed frankly, not only knowing that he was frustrated with the indiscriminate pollution of the various superintendents under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, but also heard that Mr. Huangfu had heard that his brother Xiao Jiaji had merged with the land deed of Zengtou City, Dezhou, and that the expansion of horse herding was also the time to employ people. Bozhou is adjacent to the Daimyo Mansion, and the name of his brother Ren Xia resounded in the Jilu territory, so he naturally knew that he was a great man and had the heart to cherish his talents, so he originally planned to go north to Xiaojiaji to serve.

But I don't want my brother to raise troops to take the city and appease the people in the city, and Mr. Huangfu is also living in the city, so isn't it just fate? ”

Xiao Tang saw that he was stunned, and said in his heart that he knew that Huangfu Song did not reject the grass, and he also knew a rough idea of his past by Brother Zhang Qing, and now it is indeed time to invite the purple-haired man to go up the mountain to join the gang and gather together......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In a mansion located on the west side of Xiaowudu Xicheng, a servant who had just walked into the door with lean meat ingredients wrapped in lotus leaves, and he couldn't help but murmur, "Hey...... What kind of world is this? There are few idlers in the three cities of Pingsu Sixth Street to cause trouble, and the different public servants in the government are colorful, but in the past few days, the gang of strongmen has temporarily occupied the city, and the market in the city is more peaceful and happy than before......"

"Hehe... Nowadays, the world is declining, and most of the officials sent by the imperial court to various military prefectures, government offices, and supervision departments only think that the people are easy to bully, if it is not for the Bozhou prefect to be regarded as a good and honest official, how can I live here? Nowadays, most officials are not like parents and officials who are masters of the people, and the heroes of the green forest who occupy the city without blood do not seem to be fierce bandits who kill people and oversell goods...... The way of the world is becoming more and more absurd. ”

The servant was surprised by a sigh from someone beside him, and he hurriedly turned around and said to the master of the mansion with a beard and a long beard under his chin. The man had instructed the servants to take the meat they had bought to cook, and when he turned around and was about to leave the hall, he heard someone behind him call: "Mr. Huangfu, I haven't seen you for a while, but are you okay?" ”

The long-haired man who was called Mr. Huangfu was naturally the purple-haired Huangfu Duan recommended by Zhang Qing. At this time, Huangfu turned around, and saw Zhang Qingzheng, who had always had dealings with him, standing at the door with a smile, he was also stroking his long hair, and laughed loudly: "Zhang Dujian is really fine, I heard that you have received the grace of the heroes of the two mountains, and the two generals Gong Wang and Ding Desun have been willing to join the reunion." It seems that Xiao Ke also has to change his words, he can't call you Zhang Dujian, but he wants to call you Zhang Leader. ”

"If you talk about this, the little brother has already thought about it. Thanks to the kindness of my brother, I can still show my strengths in the skills I have learned all my life, count the heroes, not the number of bandits who kill people and steal goods, I can gather righteousness with many heroes, and I can live a more open-minded ......"

Zhang Qing said with emotion, and then said to Huangfu: "Mr. Huangfu, the little brother came uninvited today because a distinguished guest came to your mansion and was about to make a recommendation. ”

As soon as the words fell, the emperor saw a man wearing a pig mask and a strong and powerful man also appeared in front of the door of his house. Huangfu's eyes froze, he naturally knew very well that Quan Yu, the famous co-owner of the rivers and lakes, concealed his true body, and when he came out to walk, he had to wear a deputy badge mask to show people, so he immediately drove forward and said to Xiao Tang Shili: "It turned out that the big leader of the whole country came to the cold house, and the name of Xiao Ke has been heard for a long time. In the past, I often heard that many righteous people in the rivers and lakes under the command of Kai cherished the people, and these days I saw with my own eyes, and it really lived up to its name, Xiao Ke was convinced in his heart, and he visited Xiao Ke in person, which was also enough to comfort the three lives. ”

Xiao Tang listened to this was originally only a general description in the Water Margin, but it was the only one without lines in the whole story of Liangshan's good Chinese tone, which was very calm and gentle, and saw that its blue eyes and yellow beard, with deep outlines, were indeed very similar to the appearance characteristics of many ethnic groups in the Western Regions, and it was also very clear that although the ancient surname Huangfu originated from the surname Zi and Ji, from the descendants of the Song Dynasty and the Taishi Huangfu of the Western Zhou Dynasty in the Spring and Autumn Period, but later after the migration and integration of various dynasties, it became a multi-ethnic and multi-source surname group, and in later generations such as Mongolian, Yi, Chinese ethnic minorities such as Koreans, Hui, and Tujia, and even regions such as Gyeongsang, South Korea, also have the distribution of Huangfu clansmen.

This purple-haired Uncle Huangfu is also the same, looking at his appearance, it can be basically determined that his ancestors obviously have Hu blood, but he is polite in speech and demeanor, and he is no different from ordinary Song people when he speaks official words.

Xiao Tang also immediately stepped forward to salute Huangfu, and said: "I heard that Brother Zhang Qing said that Mr. Huangfu is also a capable person, so he came to disturb him. I have the heart to get acquainted with Mr. Huangfu, and in addition to the morality, I also have ulterior motives for coming from this time. ”
