Chapter 51: Martyrdom

Looking at Zhang Yan and the others who were far out of the city to greet him, the softness in Yan Zhanshu's heart moved slightly, if he completely reversed the world of the Three Kingdoms, broke through time and space, and returned to the real world, what would Zhang Yan do?

For the first time, Yan Zhanshu's mind to go home was shaken! After struggling for his life and fighting in this world at the end of the Han Dynasty, Yan Zhanshu had companions, subordinates, and lovers, although this land was moving towards dusk and gloom, Yan Zhanshu felt that if he had the opportunity, it seemed that he could still rescue it.

"Congratulations on the triumphant return of the lord!" Guan Ning opened his mouth and said loudly, and a group of merchants behind him followed and shouted loudly, which was also extraordinary, but Zhang Yan's Yingying autumn water on the side made Yan Zhanshu's heart even more excited.

Returning to the new Xiangping City General's Mansion and sitting down, Guan Ning spoke: "The lord's victorious return is a great joy, and Hebei has no way to resist. However, it is easy to take the world, but it is difficult to govern the world. Ning originally wanted to spend ten years to teach a group of officials who were dedicated to the lord, but now there is no one available. If you want to govern the vast place, you can only rule the world with Guangwu and the family! ”

Hearing this, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai were suddenly silent, they were all representatives of scholars who were oppressed by the family, and at this moment, the lord who assisted him saw that he could take the world, but he wanted to share the fruits of this victory with the family, which was really depressing!

Especially Guo Jia, who fought hard by himself and won the opportunity to fight for the dragon by force, but forgot that Wenzhi couldn't keep up, and his face was even more pale, and he didn't say a word for a long time!

The generals on the seat were also very depressed, and Tai Shici was even more angry, jumping to his feet and saying: "Could it be that we follow the lord to win the world in a bloody battle, and those families who don't do anything can still get the greatest benefits from it?!" ”

"If they don't let them profit, they can do nothing, even if they are arrested, they can drag on in various ways, make the people's grievances boiling, and seriously affect the reputation of the lord!" Xi Zhicai said coldly: "Hate only hate, the arrow has to be sent on the string, the situation is good, and it can't be delayed any longer!" ”

"Mr. You'an, do I see a lot of scholars behind you, who are they?" Yan Zhanshu's heart moved, and he asked with a second thought.

"Those are my businessmen." Guan Ning replied.

"Can you read and understand etiquette?" Yan Zhanshu asked urgently.

"Of course, otherwise how to calculate the profit and loss, and hand over the exchanges?!" Guan Ning replied proudly, and then sighed: "But Shinong, businessmen, and the children of merchants are the last class, and they can't be officials, even if they are officials, they will gossip." ”

"Who made the rules?!" Yan Zhanshu said coldly: "I wrote the recruitment order, I said, as long as you are talented, no matter what virtue!" Since the children of merchants are literate and understand etiquette, they can be officials! The family is not convinced, I have a million army in my hands, are you still afraid?! ”

Hearing this, all the generals laughed: "That's it! When it comes to fighting, our Liaodong Army has never been defeated! ”

"That's a wonderful way!" Guo Jia stroked his palms and laughed when he heard this, and his mood was excited, "As long as this mouth is opened, people see that the children of this merchant are officials one after another, and the family's control will naturally fail, and there are many people in the world who are quite officials!" ”

"Not bad! Whatever the lord wants, just do it! Who dares to jump, when our knives are not good?! Han Dang said coldly.

"The problem in the short term is gone." Guan Ning also laughed, as the head of the business, he was very happy to be able to find a way for the businessman's children to be promoted.

"I know what Mr. You'an means, it has become a habit for businesses to make profits, and there are naturally many problems when you are an official. However, even if they are children of families and Confucians who are familiar with poetry and books, who can see how honest they are, and people who are corrupt and accept bribes abound! Yan Zhanshu said lightly: "If you want to govern honesty, one will be generous, the other will be heavily punished, and those who embezzle 100 gold will go to the official to recover the stolen goods." Those who embezzle thousands of gold will be punished, and the next three generations will not be allowed to be officials! ”

"I'd like to see, how many people are still willing to embezzle?" Yan Zhanshu's idea is actually not surprising, the key is to stick to it, and the effect is remarkable.

"By the way, the merchant children in Luoyang came with news yesterday." Guan Ning remembered something and hurriedly said, "The Son of Heaven has not been in court for several days, and he is suspected of being seriously ill. ”

Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai glanced at each other and said with a smile: "It's done!" ”

While he was talking, Zhang Xiong walked quickly to the door of the hall and said loudly: "There will be an important matter to report to the lord at the end!" ”

"Come in." Yan Zhanshu and Guo Jia glanced at each other, faintly felt something, and the excitement on their faces disappeared.

"Lord!" Zhang Xiong took a few steps forward, looked at Yan Zhanshu, and whispered: "There is a secret letter in Beijing, the Son of Heaven is seriously ill, and he wants the lord to lead the army into Beijing to suppress the Chaogang. ”

He also said: "Your Majesty's intention, if you want to abolish the crown prince Liu Wei and set up the prince Liu Xie as the crown prince, I am afraid that the family will conspire with the general, so let the lord lead the three thousand trapped camps into Beijing, the sooner the better!" ”

"Here's your chance!" Guan Ning stood up, could no longer suppress his excitement, and stared at Yan Zhanshu with bright eyes: "Lord, immediately raise troops into Beijing, and three days later, the army will be dispatched and swept Hebei, causing Mount Tai to crush the egg!" ”

Xi Zhicai said: "Three thousand are trapped, there are too few people, there are still tens of thousands of northern troops and Yulin troops in Luoyang, once they fall to the queen and the general, the safety of the lord is worrying!" ”

"But no matter how many soldiers and horses there are, the state capital will definitely not allow the lord to pass by along the way!" Zhang Xiong said anxiously.

"You don't have to go through the state and county!" Guo Jia smiled wryly, "Lord, with General Xingba, tens of thousands of elites can enter Beijing within three days!" You don't have to go through a state or county at all! ”

"That's right!" Tai Shici and Xu Rong both laughed, Gan Ning's ability is a must on the water, and no one can compare!

"Starting from Lelang Port, to Bohai Bay, and then going upriver through the mouth of the Yellow River to Mengjin Port, this section of the Yellow River is gentle, which is conducive to boating!" Guo Jia asserted, "With the ability of General Xingba, we will be able to reach Mengjin Port within three days!" ”

After speaking, Guo Jia was very surprised to find that he didn't have any backlash, and couldn't help but be stunned, could it be that what he said this time was true? It's a rare experience.

Gan Ning came out and hugged his fists and said: "Please rest assured, the last general will guarantee that he will be able to send 20,000 elite horsemen to Mengjin Port with the lord within three days, and another 20,000 soldiers and horses will be sent within ten days!" ”

"Good!" Yan Zhanshu stood up and said: "In this way, the generals will go down to prepare, this time the generals who set off with me are Zhao Yun, Xu Rong, Yu Yigen, Zhang Xiong, and the soldiers and horses will choose the Northern Expeditionary Army in addition to the personal guard cavalry!" Tai Shi Ci and Xi Zhicai set off by boat four days later, Zhang Yan, Gao Lan, and Guan Ning stayed in Xiangping, and ten days later, Gao Ran and led the troops from Lulongzhai to meet Yan Liang, Yan Rou, Yan Xing, and Chi Mitu, and at the same time informed Han Dang and Liao Hua of Shanhaiguan to go out of Youzhou! Tomorrow, the third watch will make rice, the fourth watch will get up, and the fifth watch will send troops! ”

"The name of sending troops is Fengtianjing!"

After the meeting, back in the bedroom, Zhang Yan looked at Yan Zhanshu faintly: "This time I want to stay again?" ”

"I haven't been here for a long time in Liaodong, and the people's hearts are not attached, only you can hold down the position." Yan Zhanshu looked at Zhang Yan gently, feeling that he was indebted, but when he thought of his goal, he still said ruthlessly: "If you succeed this time, I will take you to Beijing!" After the Liaodong Army entered the customs in a big way, Xiangping's Gongsun family was likely to make trouble in secret, as long as they caught the horse's feet, they would send Guo Damu to lead people to kill them all! ”

"Well, I'll keep our inheritance!" Zhang Yan lowered her head and replied very gently: "In addition, I seem to have it." ”

"Got it?" Yan Zhanshu was stunned for a moment, this body was taken away, but after Yan Zhanshu's vigorous recuperation, his appearance has gradually become not much different from the appearance of the original world, but he can leave an heir, which is absolutely unexpected! "I actually have a baby?!"

Yan Zhanshu felt his head dizzy for a while: "I have a child!" ”

If he originally just wanted to respect the king and completely eliminate the division of the Three Kingdoms, but after knowing that he had descendants, Yan Zhanshu's thoughts completely changed, and his eyes became extremely fierce: "We must give the child a good environment and resources!" Whether it is Liu Wei, Liu Xie, Liu Yan, Liu Biao, Liu Yu, or Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Sun Ce, Sun Quan, none of them can stay! ”

"If you want to wear a crown and bear its weight, let me, my father, bear it first!" In an instant, Yan Zhanshu's thoughts changed drastically. Leaning down, clinging to Zhang Yan's abdomen, which seemed to be slightly bulging, listening carefully, wanting to feel the breathing and movement of his own child, which is the continuation of his life.
