Chapter 57: The identity of the old man
Ugin Serpent Spear!
This was given to Wang Lei by the old man, and Zhang Yan mentioned asking about the old things of the Taiping Army, and as soon as Zhang Yan opened his mouth, it was the Wujin snake spear used by Wang Lei, there is no doubt that there is a great relationship between the two.
Don't......
Wang Lei took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and replied, "The Wujin Snake Spear was given by the elders. ”
Zhang Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked again, "What about the martial arts used by the county order?" On that day, I led the army to besiege Wuji County, and who taught the Wujin snake spear tricks used by the county order? ”
Wang Lei replied: "Elders teach!" ”
Zhang Yan's heart became excited and asked, "What is the name of the elder of the county order?" ”
Wang Lei shook his head and said, "I don't know!" ”
"What? No way. ”
Zhang Yan felt incredible, his expression was slightly cold, and he said in a slightly stiff tone: "Since it is the elders of the county order who give weapons and teach martial arts, how can they not know the names of the elders?" The Ugin Snake Spear and this set of martial arts are of extraordinary value, and the relationship is ordinary, and it is absolutely impossible to get them. Could it be that the county order thought that Zhang Yan was joking, so he deliberately lied to deceive Zhang Yan? ”
Bai Huan took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Please rest assured that the county commander has no malicious intent." If the marshal really wanted to attack Wuji County, on the day the county commander took office, the marshal directly ordered the army to attack the city, instead of leading the army to withdraw. I don't think the county commander thinks that your martial arts are so strong that they deter the handsome, right? No matter how high the martial arts are, after all, the manpower is limited, and it is impossible to stop the army under the command of the marshal. The reason why the army withdrew was because of the Ugin snake spear in the hands of the county commander and the martial arts used, so the county commander should understand. ”
Wang Lei took a deep breath, his heart full of happiness.
It turned out that this was the reason why Zhang Yan led the army to retreat that day. If the old man hadn't given him the Ugin Snake Spear before coming to Wuji County, the consequences would have been unimaginable. All this does not feel thrilling when you don't know the truth, and only when you know the truth do you understand the danger of the day.
It's just a little bit closer, and it's completely over.
Fortunately! Fortunately!
Wang Lei shrugged his shoulders and replied seriously: "Zhang Dashuai, I really don't know the old man's name. The only thing I know is that the old man's surname is Du, and I don't know anything about the rest. ”
"How old?"
Zhang Yan leaned forward and asked hurriedly.
"About sixty years old!"
"How's your figure?"
"Thin, not tall, very ordinary."
"Good, good, good, it must be Du Zhenren, there is no doubt that it must be Du Zhenren." Zhang Yan couldn't help but applaud loudly, and asked excitedly: "Dare to ask Wang County Order, where is Du Zhenren?" ”
Wang Lei replied: "It's in the house!" ”
Brush!!
Zhang Yan stood up excitedly, and her mood was even more rippling.
Wang Lei is even more puzzled, it seems that the identity of the old man is extraordinary!
Zhang Yan said with a worried expression: "Please let the county order report it, and say that Chu Yan under Zhang Niujiao's tent asks to see him." "Chu Yan is Zhang Yan's original name, and before Zhang Niujiao died, Zhang Yan always used the name Chu Yan. It was not until after Zhang Niujiao's death that he was promoted to the commander of the Black Mountain Army and changed his name to Zhang Yan, which has continued to this day.
Zhang Yan asked Wang Lei to pass it on, and his words were quite apprehensive, as if a student saw a teacher, and it was like a common man suddenly seeing the head of state, and the excited and anxious look was beyond words.
Seeing this, Wang Lei had already determined in his heart that the identity of the old man was not ordinary. can make Zhang Yan like this, I am afraid that Old Man Du has a story in the Taiping Army.
Wang Lei stood up, "You wait a while, I'll inform the old man." ”
He got up and left the study, and asked worriedly, "Dashuai, will the real person meet us?" ”
Zhang Yan said: "I believe it will." ”
The two were in the study, quietly waiting for news from Wang Lei.
Wang Lei came to the old man's courtyard, and at this time the oil lamp was still lit in the old man's room, and he had not rested. Wang Lei came to the outside of the room and knocked on the door, saying, "Old man! It's me. ”
"Come in!"
The old voice rang out in the room.
Wang Lei pushed open the door and walked in, looking respectful, and said, "Old man, Zhang Yan and Bai Huan came to the county government to ask me about the Wujin snake spear and you, and I want to see you." ”
The old man's expression froze, and he sighed lightly, and said, "Please come in!" ”
Wang Lei turned to leave, and the old man sighed lightly.
Not long after, Wang Lei, Zhang Yan and Bai Huan came to the room. After Zhang Yan saw the old man, he paused slightly, then took two steps at a time, came to the old man, threw his hand to the ground, and said respectfully: "Zhang Yan has seen a real person!" ”
Bai Huan drew a scoop with a gourd, and said: "Bai Huan has seen a real person!" ”
The old man waved his hand and said, "Sit down, I'm not a real person anymore." Sitting in front of you is just a bad old man who is about to rot wood, and he is not worthy of such courtesy from Zhang Dashuai. ”
Wang Lei sat next to him, puzzled.
At this moment, Wang Lei has already determined the identity of the old man as a yellow scarf, but the problem is that the old man has had a period of experience in the army, what is going on? Wang Lei's mind was confused, and he couldn't figure out what was going on.
The old man noticed Wang Lei's doubts and slowly explained: "Tiger head, everything you know about the old man is true. The old man joined the army in his early years and had been defending against the Xiongnu in the north, and later got tired of the filth of the military camp and left the army. Later, he met the great sage and mentor Zhang Jiao, and followed Zhang Jiao to gather troops and want to return the people to a bright future. ”
Speaking of this, the old man looked sorry for him, and said helplessly: "It's a pity that not long after the crowd gathered, the old man found that Zhang Jiao gradually changed, and he did not have the original intention of serving the country and the people, but instead connived at the army under his command to rob the people everywhere, I had a dispute with Zhang Jiao, and there were different opinions on some of the principles and policies at that time, and the contradiction deepened, so the old man left the Taiping Army and came to Ye County to settle down. Not long after, the old man took you in, and you know the rest of the story. ”
After listening to Wang Lei, he understood.
The old man beside him is also a rather tough character.
It's a pity that it didn't leave a mark in history.
Zhang Yan continued: "The real person's martial arts are extraordinary, a black gold snake spear is invincible, and the real person's strategy is always exhaustive, which is very helpful to the Yellow Turban Army at that time. It's a pity that the real person left too early, if the real person hadn't left back then, the Taiping Army would not have been wiped out by the government and reduced to the current state. ”
The old man's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he shook his head and said, "Even if I stay, it is impossible to avoid the end of failure, at most there is just one more dry bone." At that time, Zhang Jiao's strategy was wrong, there was no foundation, it lost the support of the people, and it offended the powerful clan at that time, and in the face of heavy pressure, the Taiping army had no possibility of victory. Even if the old man stays, he will be weak. ”
Zhang Yan agreed with the old man's statement, changed his words, and said: "Zhang Yan implores the real person to go out of the mountain, I am willing to give up the post of the commander of the Black Mountain Army, and the army under the command of the real person will lead us to fight the world again." ”
The old man shook his head and chuckled: "I'm all old bones, and I don't have the heart to toss anymore." If you can live for the rest of your life, spend the last days in peace and stability, and then watch the tiger head achieve a career, there will be no regrets. ”
Obviously, the old man treats Wang Lei as a relative.
Wang Lei chuckled and said, "Don't worry, old man, Wang Lei will definitely live up to your expectations." ”
After a pause, Wang Lei's gaze turned, fell on Zhang Yan, and said with a smile: "Zhang Dashuai, I didn't expect that there would be such a relationship between us. In this case, we can talk about cooperation. ”
"Cooperation?"
Zhang Yan's eyes froze, and a fine light flashed in her eyes.
