Chapter 22 The natural country provokes the greedy wolf
Pang Tong didn't know that at this time, the county commander of Yangle County was about to kill the whole family. Gongsun Zhan's people have been stationed in Yangle County and built a mansion here. Zhang Shuang became more and more beautiful and moving, and her reputation shook Youzhou. Gongsun Xu was nineteen years old and had no wife, and he never forgot about this daughter, so he went to Zhang Mu's house as a guest.
Zhang Mu didn't know what he meant, and said with a smile: "It's rare for Lord Gongsun's son to come to the cold house, I don't know what to order?" ”
Gongsun continued: "Lord Zhang Mu loves women and is good at singing and dancing, I don't know if I can listen to a song? ”
Zhang Mu said: "The little girl is in the house, that is, the adult carries love, so he calls her." After a while, the next person called Zhang Shuang in. At this time, Zhang Shuang's apricot face is peachy, cherry mouth, muscles are like snow, and he is tall and tall, like a begonia drunk sun. Gongsun Xu hadn't seen her for a long time, and he was stunned at this time.
Zhang Shuang bowed and said, "What is Daddy calling the child?" ”
Zhang Mu said: "General Gongsun Xu, the beloved son of Lord Gongsun, has come to listen to your piano sound." You just talk about a song. ”
Zhang Shuang said softly: "Yes." Until the next person brought the piano, the grandson was still stunned. Zhang Shuangxian plucked the strings with his fingers, and Gongsun continued to escape into another dreamy realm. The sound of the piano rises slowly, without a high note, but it emits a bel canto with a tactful twist and turn. Gongsun continued to know, this is Zhang Shuang remembered Pang Tong, and his thoughts became deeper and deeper, turning his heart into the sound of the piano, and the more he played, the more poignant he became. After playing, Gongsun Xu woke up like a dream and said, "Good, good, good!" It's so wonderful, the girl's piano skills are really exquisite. ”
On the same day, Gongsun Xu returned home and told his father, Gongsun Zhan, that he wanted to marry the daughter of the county order. Gongsun Zhan knew that this woman was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was gentle and virtuous, knowledgeable, so he personally brought the dowry and matchmaker to the house, Zhang Muying went out, saw the situation and was puzzled, listened to his intentions, and said busily: "This gift can't be received, my little girl has promised it to others." "Zhang Mu knows that Gongsun Chan doesn't like Pang Tong, how dare he tell the truth."
Gongsun Chan thought to himself: "I am a dignified general, what are you, how dare you deceive people like this." He was about to speak, but it happened that Zhang Shuang went out and came back, and got off the sedan chair at the door.
Zhang Mu hurriedly introduced: "Shuang'er, I've seen Lord Gongsun." ”
Gongsun Zhan shook his senses, only to see Zhang Shuang bowing and saying, "Lord Gongsun, the little girl is polite." ”
Gongsun Chan said angrily: "The last time we saw each other seemed to be three years ago. The seedlings have blossomed and borne fruit in the future, and if I get this daughter-in-law, my descendants will be beautiful and mighty in the future. Zhang Shuang was disillusioned when she heard this, and she didn't know much to say, so she looked at her father. Zhang Mu hurriedly smiled: "It's a pity that the little girl has promised others, it's a pity, it's a pity." ”
Gongsun Chan smiled at him and said, "What's the pity? I am a lieutenant general, and I hold the military power. My son is also a general of our army, with excellent martial arts and heroic appearance, why should I underestimate people? ”
Zhang Mu said: "Ling Gongzi is really handsome, but I'm afraid that the little girl is not worthy." ”
Gongsun Zhan said: "Are you afraid that my son will not be able to compare with others?" Don't you want to insult me! Think about it, huh! So he took the men and left, but left the dowry at the door.
Zhang Mu was shocked, ordered people to look at the dowry, but did not dare to return, and the pedestrians who came and went did not know what to do. He went home and lamented. Zhang Shuang followed up in the lobby and said bluntly: "Daddy, I won't marry my daughter unless I am Pang Tong." "Just leave. After Zhang Shuang's mother Xu Yan learned about this, she said to Zhang Mu: "Pang Tong missed the appointment first, and offended Lord Gongsun, I am afraid that it will affect the whole family." ”
Zhang Muzhi sighed and said, "How come I don't know how powerful Gongsun Zan is, even Liu Zhoumu is jealous of him." How can my little county order offend him? But I love that Pang Shiyuan very much, and the little girl is so resolute, wait for me to make a book, send it to Luoyang Shiyuan, if he comes back to marry, even if I die at the hands of my grandson, what does it matter? As long as he can take the little girl away and live a good life, I will be satisfied. ”
Xu Yan was afraid that something would happen to her family, so she repeatedly persuaded Zhang Shuang, but Zhang Shuang refused to obey and was helpless. Gongsun Zhan's refusal to propose his relatives caused a stir.
Pang Tong and Lu Budu arrived in Yanzhou with determination, and then slowly went north, and after arriving in Zhuo County, Youzhou, they planned to return. When they arrived in a small town, the two went in with their soldiers to buy some dry food. Pang Tong and Lu Bu and everyone occupied the hotels, restaurants, and inns, eating and drinking, and comforting the sergeants.
Pang Tong and Lu Bu were at the same table, and the two were laughing at Dong Zhuo and asking them to chase Cao Cao, and Xiao Er came over to put it down. Pang Tong rose up and asked, "Little brother, how is the livelihood of the people in Youzhou now?" ”
Seeing that the two of them were officers and both had weapons, how dare they not reply, and hurriedly said: "Youzhou is quite peaceful, but I don't know what Lord Liu and Lord Gongsun will do, hey, I can't take care of the people." He thought that he was not good at talking about political affairs, for fear of getting into trouble, so he hurriedly opened the topic and said: "I heard that Lord Gongsun proposed to Lord Zhang Mu in Yangle County and was rejected, and they all said that Lord Zhang's family would not be guaranteed, and it would be really difficult to be an official, but that Lord Zhang's daughter is said to have the appearance of captivating the country and the city." ”
Pang Tong's face was full of anger when he heard this, and he got up, and the wine in the cup was spilled on the ground, and Xiao Er was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground. Lu Bu glared angrily, clenched his fists, and said to Xiao Er: "You go, it's none of your business." ”
Lu Bu gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Bullying my brother's wife, this is bullying me!" ”
The soldiers who were eating wine and food around couldn't understand what was going on between the two. But it's not easy to ask, so I have to keep quiet.
Pang Tong said in a deep voice: "Before that Gongsun Chan is angry with my father-in-law, we will take people and horses to rescue." Lu Bu nodded.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Mu was also quick-eyed, and knew that it was not easy to wait for a long time when the catastrophe was coming, so he went out at night with his wife and daughter and a small number of servants, a total of five carriages. When he arrived at the west gate of the city, how dare the doorman not let go of the county order token. From time to time, Zou Dan, a military general under Gongsun Zhan, inspected the wall, and saw that there were chariots and horses going out of the city, so he went down to the city to ask, and the doorman reported truthfully. Zou Dan was busy reporting to Gongsun Zhan's mansion, and Gongsun Zhan said angrily: "Good Zhang Mu, dare to tease me!" See how you escaped from my palm. "Immediately ordered Zou Dan to order a hundred cavalry to chase after him.
Hundreds of horsemen rushed out of the city gate, and at this time, Zhang Mu's carriage had left the city for half an hour. But the fast ride chased all the way, it was really a hurry, and Zhang Mu saw the sound of horses' hooves behind him. He ordered four wagons and horses to stay on the mountainside, and one carriage to wait at the bottom of the mountain.
When Zou Dan saw the carriage, he immediately came to see it. He opened the curtain and saw a man sleeping in the car, snoring incessantly.
Zou Dan shouted: "Zhang Mu! ”
The man panicked in the car and said, "The old man went north, and he took pity on my mother in the city, so he asked me to go back." ”
Zou Dan said coldly: "Old horseman, he actually went to the north, Hugh wants to underestimate me!" ”
Then he got on his horse and left. Zhang Mu saw this scene on the mountain, ordered the carriage to go down the mountain, and hurriedly ran south. All the way to the official road, and then to the west. If it goes well, you can go all the way west to Jixian County. Early in the morning, the group went to a small city called "Saicheng", which was a place for a large number of Cypriot outsiders and Han Dynasty people to trade and transport. As soon as the carriage entered, I heard a shout from outside: "Zhang Mu's old husband is leaving!" ”
The king of the defenders of the city really inspected the city walls, and when he saw that this group of people was menacing, he ordered the city gate to be closed. I saw Zou Dan scolding under the city: "You little official, open the door for me!" I am the general Zou Dan under the command of Lord Gongsun! ”
Wang Zhen said angrily: "It doesn't matter who you are, I only listen to Lord Liu Yu's dispatch, quickly retreat for me, disturb the trade on my side, I want you to look good!" "On the other hand, he ordered his subordinates to put up more flags, and they were in a state of imminent battle. The archers also immediately filled the wall. Seeing this, Zou Dan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you little minion!" ”
After that, he guarded outside the city and ordered one person to return to Yangle County.
Wang Zhen ordered the whole city to be on guard, and went down to the city to ask for clarification. He saw a person getting down from the carriage and said, "Zhang County Order? How did you do it? ”
Zhang Mu sighed lightly and told the matter. Wang Zhen said: "This matter has spread widely, but I know a little bit about it. But I don't know that you married your daughter to Pang Tong. Pang Shiyuan did his best for my Youzhou, and the army and civilians saw it. This Gongsun Chan is deceiving people too much, this is simply taking away his wife! How can such a thing be done? Don't be afraid, if the hundred horsemen can't get in, see how long he waits. ”
Zhang Mu hurriedly nodded in thanks, and Wang Zhen brought all of them to the mansion, so that he was frightened. Unexpectedly, the cavalry would not retreat, and would be there the next day. The four gates of the city were closed, making it impossible to communicate inside and outside the city, and no business could be done. The business travelers all complained, but Zou Dan and the others didn't hear it.
