Chapter 56: Returning to the Heart
For this kind of arrogant general, forcibly forcing him to kill officers and soldiers is actually the most undesirable, "Attack the city for the bottom, attack the heart for the top!" This sentence is familiar, but when it comes to Yan Liang, what should I do?
As the leader of a small group, Yan Zhanshu understands that if you want to grow a small group, you must continue to absorb new blood, and the essence of the yellow turban is not much, and the rest of Jizhou is basically digested and absorbed by yourself. Then, in the years that followed, there were certainly not a few Hanmen generals and scholars like Han Dang and Gao Ran who would be attracted by the art of war and knowledge, but there were also many people like Yan Liang who had a tendon.
At present, Yan Liang can rush and kill with the army, which is already the result of Gao Ran and Han Dang's best persuasion, and he is about to untie the knot, and he still needs to have a long talk with him.
Thinking of this, after Yan Zhanshu explained the matter of the celebration banquet to Zhang Yan, he walked out of the county office. asked a few soldiers and found out where Yan Liang was at the moment - he was in a daze facing the moat outside Guangping City, and there were a few soldiers named guards on the side, but they were actually watching.
"Zishan, why don't you drink the celebration wine? But here alone in a daze? When Yan Liang heard the words, he was slightly startled, and when he looked back, it was Yan Zheng Yan who got up and said: "No one spoke, I was depressed, and I missed my old brothers." β
"Oh? You can't play with the guys? Everyone is a man, and there are a lot of common topics! Yan Zhanshu smiled and made the topic easier.
"Ahem, I already have a wife in my hometown, how can I mess around with flowers and grass anymore?!" Yan Liang's face turned pale, and he replied with a straight face.
"Oh? Zishan is already married? Yan Zhanshu wanted to ask where Yan Liang's family was and how old Ling Lang was, but after thinking about it, he still didn't ask, because there was obviously a feeling of wanting to coerce the other party.
"Yes, my sons are three years old. It's a pity that I'm useless as a father, I am full of martial arts, but I couldn't find an official and a half-job to give him a good growth environment. Yan Liang sighed.
"Before, Zishan guarded the grain transportation team, was he making money to support his family?" Yan Zhanshu asked slowly.
"Yes, there are dozens of gold for one trip, and it is still very profitable, but I was unlucky and was caught by the handsome." Yan Liang was a little depressed, but he could still see it, and laughed at himself: "I thought that after a dozen trips, I would be able to save enough money for a county lieutenant, but I didn't expectββ"
"Zishan, do you think that if you have money, you can become an official? Can you still slowly accumulate credit and rise up? Just by virtue of your humble family background? Yan Zhanshu laughed and mocked Yan Liang's innocence!
Yan Liang was first furious when he heard this, and then pondered, and asked: "Dashuai's words, it seems that there is something in the words, please explain it." β
"That's right, Zishan, you are thick and fine, and sure enough, no one who can practice to the Divine Courage Realm is a fool." Yan Zhanshu admired it very much: "I was born in the Yan clan of Wu County, you know, but why did I participate in the Yellow Turban, according to what you said, I can donate money to become an official!" β
"Han Dang is a native of Liaoxi, and Gao Ran is the lieutenant of Quyang County, they have been in this lowest-level military attache for six or seven years, and they have never been promoted! Although their skills are not as good as those of Shangzi, they are also limited, and their contributions in a few years are not small, but why they have not been promoted, you may be able to guess the reason? β
Yan Liang was confused when he heard this: "Yes, why? The marshal can defeat the famous generals of the imperial court in a row, which can be called the capital of a famous general. Gao Ran and Han have also discussed and talked successively, and they can all be called heroes. β
"This is because this dynasty raised troops to win the world, and the family made great efforts!" Yan Zhanshu talked eloquently: "The twenty-eight generals of Yuntai, almost all of them are children of the family!" After making great achievements in revitalizing the Han family, the descendants of these people naturally continue to be officials! Of course, there are many children of the family, and the descendants have more resources, and there are naturally few or no branches, and they gradually become poor, and finally degenerate into commoners. And the children of the poor family have the qualifications to be officials, but they do not have the qualifications to be big officials, and they are not even qualified to receive credit! β
"Why can the family be superior, in addition to connections and bloodlines, they will also monopolize the knowledge of governing the country and warfare, and blockade the cold and civilians. Zishan, you are gifted and excellent in martial arts, but you have not been able to be taught the art of war, even if you are excellent in martial arts, you can only be a guard of the grain transportation team, not even the lowest captain in the Han army! β
"Princes and generals, rather have a kind!" Yan Zhanshu looked at Yan Liang coldly: "Zishan, are you willing to spend your life looking up to people and being driven by others, and the reward you get in exchange for just a lowest-level military attache position?" And your children and grandchildren continue to be oppressed and enslaved?! β
"Absolutely! No! Yan Liang suddenly stood up: "Dashuai, you don't need to say it anymore!" I'm not a bad seed! It's not a bad breed who is oppressed and doesn't know how to resist! A sky-high battle intent rose into the air: "Since this Han family has blocked the path of our poor disciples, then, I, Yan Liang, will use this talent and superior martial arts to smash it!" β
"Good!" Yan Zhanshu stood up happily: "Since Zishan has this ambition, I will be friendly with my colleagues more in the future, learn from each other's strengths, and improve myself!" Zi said: If you are a threesome, you must have my teacher! Zishan, your martial arts are the highest, and you can completely help everyone improve their martial arts, like I have learned a lot of war, so you can teach and explain the art of war to everyone while fighting. β
"As long as we continue to grow and progress, one day, we will be able to set foot in Luoyang and overthrow the Han family!" Yan Zhanshu hugged Yan Liang's shoulders, full of yearning for the future.
The sound of "cooing" came out, and the two looked at each other awkwardly, "It turns out that you haven't eaten yet." Haha laughed, and the two went back to the county government together to participate in the upcoming celebration banquet.
Watching Yan Zhanshu and Yan Liang talk and laugh and enter the county government together, Zhang Yan and the generals are in high spirits, Yan Liang is a powerful general in the Divine Courage Realm, and his dedication to join is definitely good news!
"Come on! General Yan, you and Dashuai are late, have a drink first! Gao Ran laughed and got up with two glasses of wine to greet him, among the generals, he and Yan Liang are both generals and fellow villagers, and the natural relationship is more intimate.
"Generalβ"
Riding like a fly, galloping from the south, Yuan Shao, who was struggling to find the whereabouts of the trapped camp, suddenly perked up, is there finally news? As early as the early hours of the morning, Yuan Shao led a large army to Yecheng, but found that the trapped camp had already quietly escaped, and the entire Yecheng had become an empty city.
But soon, Yuan Shao realized that the situation was wrong. This horse came from the south, and it was not a probe horse sent by him, so take a closer look, isn't this Lu Xiang who stayed in Guangping? Why did you make such a mess!? His hair was unkempt, his clothes were in tatters, and his body was stained with blood, as if he had just come out of the chaos.
Lu Xiang rode his horse and rushed to Yuan Shao, and slammed the reins of the horse with both hands, and the war horse suddenly stood up when he was in pain, and kicked the ground twice on his hind legs before he suddenly retracted the momentum of rushing forward. Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, he didn't want Lu Xiang to be young, but his strength was not small, and his riding skills were even more exquisite, and he was a material that could be made.
"Lu Xiang, you are not in Guangping to defend the city with your brother, come to Yecheng like this, is it Guangping?"
Lu Xiang looked miserable, and said with a crying voice: "General, the big thing is over!" β
"Hugh should panic, take your time." Yuan Shao's expression was awe-inspiring, and Ju Yi and Zhang He also heard the news and came over.
Lu Xiang sighed and told the scene that happened last night, and Yuan Shao and the three of them immediately gasped when they heard it, and they all showed horror! This strict government, Duan's cunning is abnormal, everyone thought that after he attacked Yecheng, he would inevitably take advantage of the situation to go north to Taihang, but he never thought that he would kill back to Guangping with a false shot.
Ju Yi asked, "How is Guangping now?" β
Lu Xiang said gloomily: "When the next break out of the siege, my brother and thousands of soldiers have already been encircled, and I want to come...... It was inevitable, and the elder brother said to the younger brother before leaving, he insisted on Guangping to the end, and he was worthy of General Yuan! β
"Alas!" Yuan Shao stomped his foot heavily, his face full of regret and chagrin.
Zhang He turned to Yuan Shao and said, "General, please give the order to return to Guangping as soon as possible!" β
Ju Yi hurriedly dissuaded: "Wait, if I really go back to the south, I know that this is not another trick of Yan Zheng?" What if the trapped camp turns around and goes north to attack Yecheng again? β
