Tong Yuan wrote in the letter:

Zicheng Xiaoyou:

I'm going to go, leave a message. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Thou art benevolent and righteous, and I like my heart very much, and I make a request: after seeing the letter, I will marry Linlin, so that I can have peace of mind, and Linlin can get a good son-in-law, and I will be blessed in this life.

However, there are disputes in the world, and you must know that men are a major matter, and when they are decided, they will be decided......

I have three apprentices, Zhang Ren, Zhang Xiu, and Zhao Yun, who can help you, and if he finds Ren and Xiu in the future, he can show me my letter......

The world's talents, regardless of the noble and the low, hope that Zicheng will treat everyone equally, and sincerely invite them, then the heroes of the world will be under your account.

……

Tong Yuan's letter was full of the elder's love and advice to the future generations, and the earnest teaching was vividly on the paper, Jiang Sheng put away the letter, and then pocketed the letter written by Tong Yuan to Zhang Ren and Zhang Xiu.

On the second day, Jiang Sheng followed the ancient etiquette of filial piety, wearing linen and filial piety, gruel and vegetarian food. When Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan met, Jiang Sheng said that he would stay on the mountain and keep filial piety for a year.

In ancient times, during the period of filial piety, it was forbidden to marry, travel, go out, husband and wife were not allowed to have sex together, and entertainment was not allowed, etc., and there were various taboos.

Xiahou Lan said: "The eldest brother is not a relative with the same surname, and he has no obligation to keep filial piety, so he must not do so!" Master's will, let the eldest brother marry Linlin, how can you disobey Master's will? ”

Zhao Yun said: "Yes, eldest brother, the master has been gone for half a year, and you came back to follow the master's will." ”

Xiahou Lan said: "Big brother, we are all from the mountains and wilderness, and marrying Linlin is also a joy, and Linlin belongs to the grandchildren, and you can keep filial piety for 100 days, if you keep filial piety, it will go against the master's wishes." Think again! ”

Jiang Sheng said: "Filial piety is out of the hearts of the people, not limited by the etiquette system, although I am a foreign surname, but the feelings are real, you don't need to say more." ”

Zhao Yun said: "Big brother's filial piety comes first, but do the soldiers under your command also accompany you to keep filial piety?" Where do they go from here? How can they survive? I saw that Yu Ban, Zhou Cang, and Yang Feng are all loyal and righteous, they follow their eldest brother without complaint or regret, can you bear to let them find their own way out, eldest brother? ”

Jiang Sheng was shocked, he forgot that he was now a lord, and he still had to find a way out for hundreds of loyal elites.

Xiahou Lan said: "Zilong is reasonable, eldest brother, your filial piety, the master will definitely see it in the spirit of the sky, but his old man will never see that you only care about your filial piety, and chill the hearts of the righteous people who are loyal to you and support you." ”

Tong Lin also came in at this time and said, "Husband, what the two uncles said is very true, you have to think about those who follow you, and you must not let everyone be disappointed in you because of your grandfather." The officers and soldiers have all been classified, and the emperor has made the marquis and paid homage to the generals, if you don't go and lose the opportunity, what is the way out for those who follow you? If you are like this, not to mention that grandpa will not forgive you, and I will not forgive you! ”

Jiang Sheng looked at the three closest people, then wiped his tears and slowly stood up.

"Okay, it's because I didn't think it through, Lei Linlin and the two virtuous brothers bothered, and I left for Beijing in three days."

"Big brother, please allow me to go with you!" Zhao Yundao, Xia Houlan and Tong Lin also agreed.

Tong Yuan has passed away for half a year, according to the etiquette system, Tong Yuan has no children, no one meets the conditions for keeping filial piety, Tong Lin is a grandchild, and he can keep filial piety for 100 days, Jiang Sheng is a son-in-law, and he has a foreign surname, so he doesn't have to keep filial piety. Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan are Tong Yuan's apprentices, and it stands to reason that they should keep filial piety, and they also follow the standard of filial piety in 100 days.

Jiang Sheng is grateful for Tong Yuan's mentorship and friendship, keeping filial piety for three days, and counting all the etiquette, his concept of life and death from later generations can be seen more than the ancients, Zhao Yun and they can all see it, what else can Jiang Sheng not let go?

Zhao Yun and the others proposed to go to Beijing with Jiang Sheng to Luoyang, but Jiang Sheng opposed it.

"No, this is going to Jingshi, the future is unpredictable, you can't go together, when I stabilize, I will send someone to pick you up."

Although Jiang Sheng knows history, it is still unknown whether he, a traverser, can deal with the deception of officialdom. If it goes well, find a magistrate to do it, and then settle the people.

Zhao Yun and the other three begged for no use, so they had to stay on the mountain, Jiang Sheng only took Yu Ban, Zhou Cang and ten followers back to Beijing, and the rest of the cronies and guards stayed on the mountain to train the more than 500 people brought by Yang Feng.

On the eve of leaving, Jiang Sheng went to the cave in Houshan to get some luminous jade, and it was not okay to go to Beijing without giving gifts.

After making preparations, Jiang Sheng and his entourage traveled day and night to Beijing.

After entering the Sili School Captain's Department, there are no traces of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but the people's livelihood is still withering, which is what the surrounding capital looks like? Jiang Sheng couldn't help but sigh that if he worked for the princes of all parties, it would really be better to do it himself, he felt that it was not wrong for him to take precautions and secretly cultivate his cronies.

At both ends of the table, Zhang He entered the dense forest in the north of Chen County and built a training camp, and more than 300 Yellow Turban soldiers have been tempered, both in physical strength and tactical skills, and more importantly, they know that their existence is for Jiang Sheng, and loyalty is their belief.

"Newspaper—" the scout came to report that there was a troop of cavalry wandering outside the woods.

Zhang He went with the scouts to check and found that the cavalry was about 30 people, dressed in official and military uniforms, and their identities were unknown, so he ordered the guards to go back to organize preparations for war. And he went to a nearby hidden place to observe, and then relieved himself and went out of the forest to greet him.

Zhang He saw that the back of the saddle of these cavalry were hung with gourd-shaped oil jars, this kind of oil jar was invented by Jiang Sheng, the shape was gourd-shaped, the mouth of the altar was sealed with a mud seal, and it would not spill out when the war horse was running.

The leader of the cavalry has been facing away from Zhang He, Zhang He didn't recognize him, until someone found Zhang He coming out, the leader turned around, this person is a veteran brought out by Jiang Sheng from Youzhou, of course Zhang He knows.

It turned out that this group of cavalry was one of the teams that Jiang Sheng arranged to go south, Jiang Sheng originally wanted them to change into people's clothes and break them into pieces, but they were intercepted by the officers and soldiers halfway through, they identified themselves and showed the token of the official army camp, and then they were released. Later, they simply changed into the uniforms of the officers and soldiers, and swaggered all the way south, which was much more convenient, and they also received sufficient supplies.

Zhang He learned that this was the case, so he led them into the camp.

For the safety of the camp, Zhang He set up four passages into the forest, and arranged two sentinels to patrol, and the rest of the woods that could enter the camp were set up with traps, hidden piles and various mechanisms. If outsiders don't know the route, it can be said that there is no return.

After more than ten days, a lot of cavalry came here one after another, Zhang He sent scouts to monitor the situation around the dense forest, if there are outsiders here, they will not respond, if the surrounding is safe, they will go out of the forest to respond.

The number of people in the Chen County camp has expanded to more than 600 people, nearly 1,000 war horses, all kinds of arrows and weapons can be manufactured in the camp, and the raw materials are all purchased by Zhang He in disguise.
