In the second year of the first peace, on the sixth day of the first month, the beginning of spring, Liu Xie, the son of heaven, and Dong Zhuo, the prime minister, led the three princes and nine secretaries to the suburbs of the east eight miles of Chang'an City to welcome the spring, praying for a good harvest and amnesty for the world.

At the same time, Zhang Liao, the Taishou of Hedong, sacrificed to the temple in Hedong.

After the sacrifice, Zhang Liao in front of the Taishou Mansion to the officials and people of Hedong to bless the wine, and in the Taishou Mansion, Hedong Academy, Anyi Palace and other places first launched the Spring Festival couplets, gong and drum team, lion dance and other activities, these activities for the people at this time, is very novel, lively and interesting activities make the people are all refreshing, the spirit is uplifted, than in previous years, the counties in Hedong have more of a New Year's vitality.

At the same time, Zhang Liao also introduced new food practices such as dumplings, steamed buns, steamed buns, pancakes, roasted cakes, mutton soup, stir-fried vegetables, and knife-cut noodles, which were displayed in public by more than 100 cooks in the army before the temple fair.

For several days, more and more people gathered in front of the temple fair, and the practice of new food spread all over the counties and townships, enriching the simple recipes and staple foods on the people's dinner table, making the people all happy.

The people take food as the sky, what Zhang Liao didn't expect was that his move was even better than all the previous benevolent government effects, and the impact was greater, so that the people were all praised, and widely spread, until Guanzhong, Taiyuan, Jizhou, and even later by many Ding Ding and the people respected as the ancestor of food, all kinds of Wenyuan dishes, so that Jun soup emerges endlessly.

And the power of the people's worship is infinite, Zhang Liao did not expect that this move would be of great benefit to him at this time, so that his reputation would spread more and more among the people, and wherever new food arrived, there would be his legend.

From the eighth day of the first month to the twelfth day of the first month, Zhang Liao personally went to various places in the army to perform martial arts celebrations, inspiring morale, singing loud military songs, and inspiring the soldiers.

On the night of the fifteenth full moon of the first lunar month, Zhang Liao announced that the curfew was temporarily lifted before the time of An Yizi, and a bonfire party was held in front of the Taishou Mansion, with lion dances, dragon dances, palace lanterns, martial arts competitions, military songs, lantern riddles, and various activities, which integrated the literati, soldiers and common people of Hedong County.

In front of the Taishou Mansion, the gongs and drums are noisy, two rows of palace lamps spread from the gate of the mansion to the distance, the lights are bright, more than 100 county officials are there, all of them are in high spirits, Zhang Liao sent them rice grain cloth silk during the New Year, so that they are all full of energy.

In addition to the magistrates, there were soldiers, scribes, and common people.

In front of the house gate, two lion dancers climb the platform in the sound of gongs and drums, jump up and down, the people who see clap their hands and cheer, they must be momentary, the lion dances, the lion head comes out, it is the envoy Zhang Liao, a green coat and a strong suit, heroic and extraordinary.

Zhang Liao hugged his fists at the group of scribes and people, and was about to go back when two fire dragons circled and flew from the side of Anyi Palace.

The fire dragon is made of bamboo strips woven into a cylinder, forming a cage, pasted with a transparent, beautiful dragon coat, burning ox candles, very mighty, a fire dragon head drilled out of a person, it is the excited Niu Fu, shouted to Zhang Liao in the sound of gongs and drums: "Wenyuan, come quickly!" ”

Zhang Liao laughed, immediately went up, took the dragon head of another fire dragon, and danced with Niu Fu's two fire dragons, and the county officials, sergeants and people couldn't help but roar louder, completely immersed in unprecedented joy.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Zhang Liao laughed and returned to the front of the Taishou Mansion, next to a tent, Zhang Liao's concubine Yin Yue, Jia Xu's wife Zhang, Guo Jia's wife Ning, Yuan Ji's wife Han, Guan Yu's wife Hu, Dian Wei's wife Li, and more women and children gathered here to watch this unheard of and unprecedented event.

A group of juniors, such as Dian Wei's son Dian Man and Guan Yu's son Guan Ping, were testing their martial arts in the field, and the fight was in full swing, but the two mothers were nervous.

And Guo Jia, Sima Hui, Xu Shu, Shi Tao, Sima Yi and other scribes and students guessed the riddles under the palace lamp over there, frowning and thinking hard, shaking their heads, many of which were made by Zhang Liao, this kind of novel activity, unique thinking, so that they really couldn't guess for a while.

Not long after, Xiao Yuan Cheng ran over accompanied by Pan Feng and asked Zhang Liao loudly: "Uncle Zhang, what is the mystery of laughing when you see people?" ”

Over there, Xu Shu and the other students couldn't help but prick up their ears when they heard Xiao Yuan Cheng's shout.

Zhang Liao smiled: "Zhu." ”

Xiao Yuan Cheng hadn't reacted yet, but Xu Shu and other students over there suddenly realized, their brains were opened, and they hurriedly went to see other riddles.

"If you have the will, this must be a scholar." A voice laughed, but it was Xu Shu who listened to Zhang Liao's inspiration and guessed one in a blink of an eye.

Immediately, the county officials went to give him a lantern riddle reward.

Zhang Liao smiled, and when he arrived at the gate of the mansion, there were still many old and serious scribes who did not end up, but just watched with great interest.

"Brother Zhou Ping, how is it?" Zhang Liao looked at a middle-aged scribe with a clear face and extraordinary instruments.

The man bowed his head again and again, and said, "I don't want Zhang Yuanjun to have such a talent in addition to galloping on the battlefield, which really makes me admire." ”

Zhang Liao laughed.

This person is the former Xihe Taishou Cui Jun Cui Zhouping, who once responded to Yuan Shao's crusade against Dong Zhuo, was defeated by Zhang Liao in Hanoi, and then stayed in Hanoi, but because of his army, his father Cui Lie was taken to prison by Dong Zhuo. A few days ago, he didn't know how to notice Biqiu Yi's movements, and when Biqiu Yi quietly led his troops into Hedong, he followed him to see Zhang Liao, and there was only one request, asking Zhang Liao to ask Dong Zhuo to save his father Cui Lie.

For this guy who came up, Zhang Liao was naturally very happy, Cui Zhouping can be listed as the four friends of Zhuge with Xu Shu, and he is naturally talented, not to mention that he once served as the Taishou of Hexi, and is familiar with the geographical advantages and personnel of Hexi County, so he can be said to be a charcoal in the snow for his next step in seeking Hexi.

As for saving his father, Zhang Liao is also quite sure, because in history, Dong Zhuo only put Cui Lie in prison, but did not kill him, and when Wang Yun returned, Cui Lie came back again and served as the captain of the city gate, and later died in the rebellion of Li Dao Guo Yan.

Now that Zhang Liao is here, he can naturally be sure to save Cui Lie.

After a while, Niu Fu came over, and Cui Jun hurriedly avoided it.

Niu Fu glared at Zhang Liao and asked urgently, "Wen Yuan, what is the word for that thousand-mile marriage?" ”

Apparently he was also entangled in the lantern riddles.

Zhang Liao smiled: "Old Niu, it's only interesting to guess this." ”

Niu Fu snorted: "If I can guess, I still need to ask you?" ”

Zhang Liao spit out one word: "Heavy." ”

When Niu Fu heard this, he immediately made a comparison, and immediately realized, and said: "In this way, that Qianli grass is Dong?" ”

Zhang Liao laughed: "Yes, Brother Niu is really smart." ”

Niu Fu waved his hand and said in a low voice: "Wenyuan, I'm afraid that my brother can't stay in Hedong for a long time, and I'm going to Hongnong." ”

"Oh?" Zhang Liao's heart moved, and he looked at Niu Fu: "Why is this so?" ”

Niu Fu said: "My uncle handed over the five captains of Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, and Wen He to the command of the elder brother, they are all in Hongnong, and the elder brother is in the east of the river, but it is beyond the reach of the whip, which is really inappropriate. ”

"When do you go?" Zhang Liao asked.

Niu Fu said: "Just tomorrow, tonight's grand event, Wenyuan will see me off." ”

Zhang Liao nodded and sighed: "If you say goodbye like this, I don't know when I will see Brother Niu again." ”

Niu Fu patted him on the shoulder: "There is always a time to meet, Wen Yuan is the best friend I Niu Fu has made in this life, and he is also the most expansive and capable talent I have ever met, and his achievements are limitless." ”

Zhang Liao was silent for a moment and said: "In the Liangzhou army, Brother Niu is also the most sincere and friendly. ”

Niu Fu laughed: "I'm afraid that only Wen Yuan said this, I know my own ability, I can be this Zhonglang general, it all depends on my uncle, I just look at Wen Yuan's eyes, not for others." ”

Zhang Liao laughed.

He knew that Guo Jia's strategy had worked, and his next step was to plan Shangdang, Taiyuan and Hexi, but it was inappropriate for Niu Fu to stay in Hedong, and it was inevitable to detect abnormalities, but it would ruin the current situation.

Therefore, Guo Jia made a plan and instigated the witch beside Niu Fu, saying that Niu Fu should not stay in Hedong anymore, otherwise it would not go well for him. Niu Fu believes in Wu Zhu's words the most, and I am afraid that he also took the initiative to go to Hongnong to Dong Zhuo.

Zhang Liao sighed in his heart, no matter what, he got along well with Niu Fu in Hedong, and he could save his life one day.

After Niu Fu left, the hour was also approaching, and under Zhang Liao's order, everyone slowly dispersed.

At this moment, Biqiu Xing hurriedly came and said in a low voice: "Envoy, the second son of the Wei family went half an hour ago." ”

Zhang Liao was stunned, Wei Zhongdao died?

He was stunned in his heart, even though he sent military doctors for diagnosis and treatment several times, Wei Zhongdao still didn't bear his fate after all, what about Cai Yan's father and daughter?
