Yanmen County leads 14 counties, Yinguan, Mayi, Yixian, Loufu, Guangwu, Yuanping, Lucheng, Wangtao, Fanqi, Juyang, Laoxian, Wuzhou, Pingcheng, Qiangyang, most of which have fallen into the hands of foreign races.
It was noon, on the ancient road of Yanmen County, thousands of cavalry marched north, the horse's hooves were roaring, the yellow dust was flying, and a big banner was waving, and the book "Zhonglang General Zhao" was Zhao Yun.
After the cavalry, there were tens of thousands of infantry, but it was Gao Shun, the general of Zhonglang.
Between the horses, in addition to the baggage, there are several carriages moving forward.
Next to the carriage, Zhang Liao sat on the elephant dragon, he went to the military uniform, did not wear armor and helmets, did not carry a hook sickle and a long lance, wore a red clothes, a white robe, a high crown on his head, a sword at his waist, a scribe's dress, simple and concise.
In the carriage beside him, there were Tang Wan, Cai Yan, Yin Yue and Su Wan, as well as Gu Caiying with two apprentices and two little girls Dong Bai and Cai Ying, as well as a group of female guards.
This time he is going home, and when he arrives in Bingzhou, how can he not go home?
It's just that he originally only planned to take Tang Wan, Cai Yan, Yin Yue and Su Wu home to worship his mother and the ancestral hall, but he didn't expect Gu Caiying to accompany him to protect his relatives, and brought her apprentice and more than 20 orchid female guards, Dong Bai couldn't stay, Cai Ying also had to follow, plus Lu Qi, Xiao He, Xiao Cui and a few maids, so that it suddenly became a large group of women, which made Zhang Liao a little helpless.
People say that the hometown is more timid, Zhang Liao is even more so, he comes from later generations, but he also has the memory of this life, the kindness of relatives, his father died in chaos, and there are still mothers, brothers, and several uncles in the family.
After he was crowned, he left home for Luoyang and has not returned for four years.
Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar scenery on the side of the road, the memories in my mind came flooding back, with mixed feelings and emotions.
When they reached a mountain pass, the team stopped, and Gao Shun came over, but he asked if he needed to rest.
Zhang Liao saw that it was already noon, and it was time for the soldiers to eat, and Tang Wan and the others in the car must have been sleepy and tired, so they immediately stopped the team.
Zhao Yun's horsemen immediately went to investigate the situation on all sides, and Gao Shun's soldiers and horses quickly waited on the high ground on both sides to inspect the guard, and then a group of soldiers dug and cooked.
Zhang Liao took Tang Wan and the girls out of the carriage and rested under the shade of a tree.
A group of orchids immediately spread felt cloth on the ground, put melons and fruits, and waited around, they already have martial arts, after Gu Caiying's training, they are even more heroic and stylish.
Seeing this posture, the warblers and Yanyan around him, plus the excited Dong Bai and Cai Ying, Zhang Liao smiled helplessly, and asked Tang Wan and the girls: "Running all the way, are you tired?" ”
The girls all shook their heads, Tang Wan took off the robe for Zhang Liao, and said: "The concubine and several sisters followed Aunt Gu and Sister Su to practice swords, and their bodies are not bad, but I am a little apprehensive in my heart, I don't know what ......to do when I see Aunt Jun."
Seeing his wife's somewhat uneasy appearance, Zhang Liao couldn't help laughing, and looked at Cai Yan, Yin's and Su Wan's daughters, who were also the same as Tang Wan, and couldn't help laughing: "I am the only one who is worried in my heart, and I don't want you to be worried, but I really have a heart." ”
Cai Yan glanced at him: "What are you worried about?" ”
Zhang Liao sighed: "When I left home, I just got crowned, and before I knew it, it had been nearly four years, and I was already twenty-four, and I was ...... old."
Burst!
Su Wu couldn't help laughing, and gave him a fierce look: "Is the husband ridiculing the concubine for getting old?" ”
She is one year older than Zhang Liao, but she has always been cheerful and doesn't care about this, but after listening to what Zhang Liao said at this time, she couldn't help but ask. Women are always concerned about their age.
Zhang Liao smiled and looked at the girls with a wink: "We are not young anymore, it's time to give birth to a few dolls together." ”
The girls were ashamed, and even Su Wu and Cai Yan couldn't stand it, but Dong Bai on the side seemed to hear it, blinking his eyes and asking, "Do uncles and aunts want to give birth to dolls?" How do you give birth to a doll? ”
Tang Wan and Cai Yan were even more ashamed, and even Zhang Liao was blushing and coughed twice: "Ah Bai, go play with Ah Ying." ”
However, although Tang Wan and Cai Yan were shy, they were quite moved in their hearts, in fact, at their age, they should have children a long time ago, and they were not in a hurry on weekdays, at this time Zhang Liao said it, they couldn't help but be happy in their hearts, and most of the apprehension was gone for a while.
After lunch, the team set off again, passing through Yinguan County, the administrative office of Yanmen County, Zhang Liao did not enter the city, but ordered the army to make a direct detour to the northwest, through Yanmen Mountain and the ancient Great Wall of Qin and Zhao, and finally arrived at Mayi County, that is, Zhang Liao's hometown.
Qin time, the general Meng Tian in the Yanmen Pass outside the north to chase the Xiongnu, besiege the city to raise horses, create the city of Mayi, and then in the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, "the strategy of the Mayi" unveiled the curtain of the Northern Expedition of the former Han Dynasty Xiongnu, when the Han and the Xiongnu after more than 50 years of harmony, the Xiongnu became stronger and stronger, there was a Mayi wealthy businessman Nie Yi out of the plot, induce the Xiongnu army to enter the pass, set up an ambush to annihilate. For this reason, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Li Guang, Wang Hui and other five generals, a total of 300,000 soldiers and horses in Mayi ambush, Nie Yi personally went to the Xiongnu to lure the enemy, the Xiongnu military ministers coveted the property of Mayi City, personally led 100,000 troops into Wuzhou Sai, but unfortunately more than 100 miles away from Mayi found that there were livestock along the way, but no one graze, became suspicious, and captured Yanmen Wei Shi, under the threat, Wei Shi will tell all the plans of the Han army, the Xiongnu immediately withdrew, resulting in a failure.
Then Emperor Wu changed his strategy, so that Wei Qing and Huo Qubing took the initiative to attack, and then broke the Xiongnu, but the ministers who participated in the plot of Ma Yi were reprimanded by Emperor Wu, and the wealthy merchant Nie Yi suffered the resentment of the Xiongnu and the anger of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so he had to avoid resentment and change his surname to Zhang.
He is the ancestor of Zhang Liao.
Fifteen thousand steps rode to the outside of the city of Mayi, the people in the city had already received the news, the chief of the city could not help but be shocked, closed the city gate, Zhang Liao ordered Gao Shun to go to pacify, and Zhao Yun led the troops to camp.
The 15,000 soldiers on this trip did not come to escort him, and he didn't need such a big pomp, this 15,000 foot cavalry continued to the north, to recover the entire territory of Yanmen, and drive all the soldiers and horses of Xianbei in the territory outside the Great Wall to stabilize Yanmen.
Gao Shun had already attacked the alien races in Yanmen County many times before, and Ma Yi had long recognized him, and soon the city gate was opened.
The army stayed outside the city and camped, Zhang Liao only brought a group of female dependents and twenty guards into the city, and his younger brother Zhang Jian was naturally among them.
After entering Mayi City, Zhang Liao made up his mind and led a group of female dependents to quickly rush to the door.
When the people in the city saw soldiers and horses coming, they couldn't help but retreat, and many of them recognized Zhang Liao and wanted to say hello, but when they saw that there were guards following, they didn't dare to speak.
Zhang Liao saw some familiar and unfamiliar faces, and smiled at them on the horse.
The women in the carriage were quite nervous, and from time to time they arranged their clothes, lest they be a little scattered and lose their manners.
