Zhang Yang, the Hanoi county guard, is not at all worried, he always seems to be on the wrong side. At the beginning, Zhang Yang was a subordinate of Ding Yuan, who responded to the appeal of Jian Shuo, the captain of the eight new schools of the Han Emperor at that time, and was sent to serve under Jian Shuo's account and was named a fake Sima. Later, when He Jin came to power, Zhang Yang was sent to lead troops to Shangdang to crusade against the Black Mountain thieves. But He Jin didn't hang up for long, replaced Dong Zhuo in power, Zhang Yang didn't know what to think at the time, and led his troops to attack Huguan, but he didn't fight it down, so he could only stay in Shangdang. Soon after, the Dong Alliance appeared, and Zhang Yang wanted to attach himself to Yuan Shao, but because of his background and state army, Yuan Shao did not use him.

At that time, Zhang Yang really didn't hurt his uncle, and his grandmother didn't love him, so Zhang Yang had no choice but to go Dong Zhuo's way, but fortunately, Dong Zhuo ignored his previous suspicions and sealed Zhang Yang as a Jianyi general and Hanoi County Guard, which gave Zhang Yang a place to live. But the declining god seems to be very partial to Zhang Yang, and it didn't take long for Dong Zhuo to hang up again, and Zhang Yang became a rootless wanderer with no backing. Fortunately, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao around him didn't have time to deal with him at that time, and Zhang Yang continued to stay in Hanoi.

It's just that Pifu is not guilty, and he is guilty, as the power of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao grows bigger and bigger, Hanoi County, which has not experienced much war, has become fat in the eyes of others. Not only did Yuan Shao send people to win over Zhang Yang, but Cao Cao also secretly sent people to persuade Zhang Yang to return to obedience.

In fact, Zhang Yang knew in his heart that it was impossible to divide one side on his own terms. The best way out is to attach themselves to the princes along the way, such as Yuan Shao in Hebei. But the problem is that the Hanoi Army is not Zhang Yang alone, and his subordinate Yang Chou is opposed to defecting to Yuan Shao.

Yang Chou's words are not wrong, now that Yuan Shao is powerful, they are gone, and the role they play is just the icing on the cake, and they may not necessarily be reused, and they may even be killed because of military power. But defecting to Cao Cao is different, although Cao Cao is not weak, it is not enough compared to Yuan Shao. But it is precisely because of this that they can be reused by Cao Cao when they go.

Zhang Yang didn't want to defect to Cao Cao, but he couldn't convince Yang Chou, and he didn't want to cause a fire within the Hanoi army over the question of who to defect to.

For the family, Zhang Yang has always stayed away. You don't trouble me, I don't mess with you, everyone is fine. But now it doesn't work, Yuan Shao sent Feng Ji, and the target was directly aimed at the Sima family in Hanoi. Zhang Yang is unwilling to work for Yuan Shao at such a time, he didn't talk about anything, in case Yuan Shao crossed the river and demolished the bridge after the matter was completed, who would he cry to?

During this time, the people who monitored Sima's family were sent by Feng Ji, and Zhang Yang kept silent about it. I don't agree with the attitude that not participating is Zhang Yang, so when the invitation of the Sima family was sent, Zhang Yang was a little embarrassed. If you don't want to go, you can't find a suitable reason to refuse for a while, but if you go, you don't know what trouble awaits you.

"General, the hour is almost up." There was a reminder from the soldiers outside the door, and Zhang Yang couldn't help but sigh when he heard it. It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, and it's not okay if you can't think about it. The invitation of the Sima family in Hanoi cannot be missed, if you offend the Sima family, you don't want to have a good life in Hanoi. Although he has soldiers in his hands, Zhang Yang believes that if he really wants to deal with the Sima family, then as long as the Sima family makes a call, there will be at least three adults under his hands who will defect.

A strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, not to mention that Zhang Yang is not a strong dragon. After a little preparation, Zhang Yang reluctantly went out to the "Hongmen Banquet" of the local snake Sima family.

Not long after Zhang Yang went out, Feng Ji got the news. Touching his mustache, Feng Ji couldn't help but show a sneer. Since he was ordered to come to Hanoi to persuade the Sima family to support the lord Yuan Shao, Feng Ji did not think that his trip would be in vain. Now that Gongsun Chan is no longer a threat to Yuan Shao, it is only a matter of time before Gongsun Chan is completely resolved. Being in Hebei is not a dream for Yuan Shao Group, and Yuan Shao has also begun to pay attention to places outside Hebei, first of all, the surrounding areas.

Yanzhou is now in the hands of his friend Cao Cao, Yuan Shao will not be able to find a suitable opportunity for a while, and Qingzhou has just been occupied by Lu Bu, although Yuan Shao has the intention to compete with Lu Bu for Qingzhou, but in order to avoid extraneous branches, Yuan Shao still plans to completely solve Gongsun Zan first and then attack others.

But not moving troops does not mean that there is nothing to do, Feng Ji came to Hanoi for the purpose of controlling Hanoi County, and if you want to control Hanoi County, the most effective way is to get the support of the Sima family.

Feng Ji thought that this trip was simple, and as soon as he said the words of the Sima family after he arrived at the Sima family, the Sima family would obediently lean over, but he didn't want Sima Fang, the head of the Sima family, to be so ignorant of current affairs, and turned a deaf ear to his overtures, and turned a deaf ear to Yuan Shao's promise. Feng Ji was angry and wanted to teach the Sima family a lesson, so that they knew the current situation, so they had the move to send someone to monitor the Sima family.

Feng Ji didn't really plan to do anything to the Sima family, and he just wanted to scare and scare the Sima family, so that the Sima family would comply. But he didn't calculate that Liu came to Hanoi a few days after he ordered to spy on Sima's house, and lived in Sima's house.

Now that he heard that the Sima family was inviting the county guard to publicize it, Feng Ji thought that this was the Sima family seeking help to save themselves. In order to completely make the Sima family die, Feng Ji came uninvited and also came to Sima's house.

Everyone who came was a guest, and since Feng Ji came, of course the Sima family couldn't turn them away, but when Feng Ji was just introduced to the Sima family, he didn't see Zhang Yang, but he was taken down by a group of heavily armed soldiers.

"Uncle Zhang Zhi wants to rebel or not?" Feng Ji asked in surprise and anger.

"Shut up! Speak again and cut out your tongue. The first soldier drew his waist knife to warn Feng Jidao.

"You, you are so bold, do you know who I am?" Feng Ji shouted angrily.

"I don't care who you are, I just know that if you talk again, you will suffer."

"Bold!"

Feng Ji was just about to scold, but the soldier was not ambiguous, and stepped forward to punch Feng Ji's lower abdomen. Feng Ji is a scholar, when has he ever suffered this loss, this punch almost vomited out what he ate at noon. But after eating this punch, Feng Ji is honest. Xiucai met Bing, and he couldn't explain it clearly, when these Qiu Ba didn't take their identities seriously, it was better to be obedient.

Feng Ji was honest and let the soldiers escort him and his entourage to Sima's firewood room. In the firewood room, Feng Ji secretly gambled and swore that when he got out of trouble, he would not be able to spare Qiu Ba, who beat him.

At this time, Zhang Yang, who was in the living room of Sima's house, did not know that Feng Ji had been arrested and locked up in the firewood room. Originally, he thought that the Sima family had invited a lot of local people with heads and faces, but now it seems that the Sima family has invited one of them, which makes Zhang Yang's heart can't help but feel uneasy.

"Zhang Junshou doesn't have to be nervous, this time my father invited Zhang Junshou to a banquet, just to thank Zhang Junshou for taking care of the Sima family all the time." Sima Lang, the eldest son of Sima Fang, who was in charge of receiving Zhang Yang, saw that Zhang Yang looked a little uneasy, and said with a smile.

"Huh...... Told Zhong Da to see a smile. Zhang Yang smiled awkwardly, but he didn't believe a word of what Sima Lang said. If you don't thank you early or late, you just pick this time to thank you, and you have nothing to believe in it!

finally waited for Sima Fang to come out, and Zhang Yang knew in his heart that the Sima family really only invited himself to a banquet tonight. As soon as Zhang Yang saw Sima Fang, he hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Uncle Zhi doesn't have to be polite." Sima Fang said with a smile.

"Fang Gong is polite, I don't know what Fang Gong will tell the end of the future tonight?" Zhang Yang asked respectfully, seeing that he couldn't hide, Zhang Yang was single, and it was a knife to stretch out his head and shrink his head, so it was better to have a good time as soon as possible.

Sima Fang didn't seem to expect Zhang Yang to speak so directly, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Since Zhiran has already guessed, then the old man will not hide it from Uncle Zhi, there is indeed something that needs to be troubled by Uncle Zhi's help right now." ”

"Please also ask the defense public to instruct, if the last general can do it, he will not shirk." When Zhang Yang heard Sima Fang admit that he really had something to look for him, his heart was relieved.

"Okay, okay, don't be busy with things first, the old man will take Uncle Zhi to meet someone first." Sima Fang nodded and said.

Zhang Yang was puzzled, "Fang Gong, who can work for your big driver to introduce him?" ”

"Huh...... Uncle Zhi didn't ask, and he came with the old man. Sima Fang didn't answer, just smiled.

Seeing this, Zhang Yang had to ignore it, and followed Sima Fang to the back house of Sima's house, at the door of Sima Fang's study, Zhang Yang saw a big man, with the intuition of a martial artist, Zhang Yang saw that this person was a practitioner, and his skills were not weak. But Sima Fang had already entered the study, and Zhang Yang could only follow up with the study.

In Sima Fang's study, Zhang Yang met someone Sima Fang wanted to introduce to him. That person is not very old, but looking at Sima Fang's attitude towards this person, Zhang Yang knows that this person's identity is not trivial.

"You're Zhang Yang?"

"It's down there, I don't know who Your Excellency is?" Zhang Yang asked.

"I? Fang Gong didn't tell you? ”

Hearing this person call himself me, Zhang Yang's brain suddenly buzzed, and he couldn't believe his ears. Only the emperor can call himself I, thinking of the age of today's son, the person in front of him may really be the son of heaven in Chang'an. But how could the Son of Heaven appear in Sima's house?

"You, you're ......"

"There is no doubt that I am today, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty. Zhang Junshou, what about your courtesy? Liu Xie asked Zhang Yang with a smile.

“…… Wechen visited the saint. Zhang Yang hesitated for a moment, knelt on the ground and bowed.

"Don't be polite, Zhang Junshou please."

Zhang Yang got up at this time, and couldn't help but ask Liu Xiedao: "Holy Lord, why are you here?" ”

"I originally wanted to ask the Duke of Defense to take the position of Jing Zhaoyin of the imperial court, but after I didn't want to come, I found something interesting. Zhang Junshou, as the guard of a county, how can you allow suspicious people to spy on Sima's family? ”

"The saint is tolerant, it's not that Weichen doesn't want to take care of it, but he doesn't dare to take care of it. Hebei Yuan Shao is powerful, Hanoi soldiers are outnumbered, if Yuan Shao is offended, I am afraid that the people of Hanoi will suffer. Zhang Yang hurriedly explained.

"Well, Yuan Shao is indeed not something that you can provoke as a Hanoi county guard, this matter has been revealed, and I don't blame you."

"Thank you for your understanding."

"Don't be happy too early, I have something that needs to be done by Zhang Junshou now, I don't know if Zhang Junshou is willing?"

“…… Please also ask the Holy Lord's command. ”

"This matter is not difficult for you, I have already told you that this time I came to Hanoi to invite Fang Gong to go to Chang'an. Now that Hanoi is threatened by Yuan Shao, I want to move the Fang Gong family to Chang'an. It's just that Yuan Shao will not agree to this matter, so you need to cooperate. ”

“…… I don't know how the saint wants Weichen to cooperate? Zhang Yang smiled bitterly in his heart, but he couldn't refuse, so he could only ask helplessly.

"Huh...... You don't have to be afraid, as long as you do what I say, Yuan Shao will blame you after this incident. Liu Xie couldn't help but shake his head and smile when he saw Zhang Yang's bitter face.

……

Feng Ji was locked up in the firewood room for a night, and he was not lonely that night, because not long after he was locked in the firewood room, Zhang Yang was locked in to accompany him.

"Zhang Junshou, why are you here too?" Feng Ji asked with some surprise. Feng Ji looked down on Zhang Yang, but now he is sick and sick, and Feng Ji is also eager to know what happened and why the Sima family suddenly put him under house arrest.

Zhang Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing Feng Ji's question, and asked Feng Ji rhetorically: "Mr. Feng really doesn't know why I'm here?" ”

“…… So what does Sima Fang want to do? Do you want to replace it? Feng Ji frowned and said.

Zhang Yang shook his head when he heard this, "Mr. Feng, don't guess, Fang Gong doesn't want to be independent, but plans to move his family to Chang'an." ”

"How did you know about this?"

"Mr. Feng, you and I are in the same situation right now, why should Fang Gong hide anything from me." Zhang Yang asked with a wry smile. Not to mention, this question really stopped Feng Ji, and now the two of them have become prisoners, not to mention whether they can escape, even life and death depend on the mood of the Sima family.

“…… Does Zhang Junshou know what the Sima family will do with you and me? Feng Ji asked a little scared.

"This ......" Zhang Yang's face was embarrassed when he heard this, Feng Ji's heart couldn't help but sink when he saw this, and hurriedly urged: "Uncle Zhi can say it if he has something to say, don't have any scruples." ”

“…… Okay, then I'll tell you the truth. Zhang Yang nodded and said: "Fang Gong doesn't intend to take my life, after all, I didn't offend the Sima family before, but usually take care of the Sima family." Therefore, this time the defense of the government did not intend to embarrass me, but only to prevent me from sending people to stop me, so he wanted to keep me in the house for a few days. As for Mr. Feng...... You're going to be blessed with a lot of blessings. ”

"What? When did I offend the Sima family? Feng Ji exclaimed in shock.

"It's hard to say. Mr. Feng, some time ago, you sent someone to monitor Sima's house, and Fang Gong was very dissatisfied with this matter......" Zhang Yang said in a low voice.

When Feng Ji heard this, a cold sweat also came down. There is wisdom in the discipline, but he is a little timid, and when he was frightened by Zhang Yang, he immediately panicked. Spying on the Sima family can be big or small, it all depends on the mood of the Sima family. People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, if the Sima family really has the heart to take revenge on themselves, then their own little life is really a little hanging.

In order to survive, Feng Ji had to put down his usual shelf and said to Zhang Yang: "Uncle Zhi, I know that you have always wanted to serve the lord, but you have not been recommended. Today, you and I have a fate, if this time I can get rid of the Yuan Tu, I will speak well for Uncle Zhi in front of the lord in the future, so that Uncle Zhi can get what he wants. ”

When Zhang Yang heard this, he couldn't wait to go up and shave Feng Ji's ears, thinking of Feng Ji's unbeatable face when he first came to Hanoi, and then compared with his performance at this time, Zhang Yang suddenly had a sense of being entrusted to him. However, the explanation of the Son of Heaven still had to be completed, Zhang Yang immediately made a look of righteous indignation, and said to Feng Ji: "What is Mr. Feng's name? Since I am the county guard of Hanoi, I am responsible for Mr. Feng's safety, and Mr. Feng can rest assured that I will never leave Mr. Feng half a step before Mr. is safe. ”

Looking at Zhang Yang, who looked like he was going to live and die with himself, Feng Ji was moved to cry, he never expected that Zhang Yang would say these words at this time, and immediately swore to Zhang Yang: "Uncle Zhi rest assured, Feng Ji is one of the six masterminds around the lord, and the lord is still willing to listen to what he says. ”

Liu Xie, who was hiding in the dark and watching Zhang Yang and Feng Ji meet to live and die together, felt a little funny, but I didn't expect this Zhang Yang to be an acting school, and the performance was like the real thing.

"Lord, is this brazen and credible?" Zhao Yun, who quietly sneaked back to Sima's house, asked Liu Xiedao in a low voice.

"It doesn't matter if he can be trusted or not, as long as he doesn't ruin my plan. Rest assured, with his warrant, the only Yang Chou who may cause trouble for us will lead his troops to Shanyang tomorrow. We set off the day after tomorrow, and we have this day's work, even if Yang Chou finds out that something is wrong, by the time he rushes back to Wenxian, we will already leave. ”

"But what if Yang Chou doesn't leave as ordered?" Zhao Yun frowned and asked.

"Then I have to work hard for you, and directly behead that Yang Chou on the grounds of disobedience. There is Zhang Yang, and he is not afraid that the Hanoi army will have an accident. ”

"Then you can't get out of the city tonight?"

"Well, stay for one night and see that Yang Chou's reaction, if he is obedient, he can naturally escape the catastrophe, but if he is disobedient, then he can't complain about us."

……

The relocation of the Sima family had already begun preparations before the banquet was held, and the Sima family had a big business, and it was unrealistic to move them all, and Liu Xie did not force the Sima family to move the family thoroughly. In addition to leaving a few people in charge of guarding the family business, the main members of the Sima family will go to Chang'an together this time, including Sima Yi.

Sima Fang's appointment as Jing Zhaoyin is already a sure thing, and the eldest son Sima Lang was also recruited as an official, temporarily returned to Situ Mansion, and will be appointed after arriving in Chang'an. However, regarding Sima Yi's arrangement, Liu Xie and Sima Fang had some differences. Sima Fang hoped that Sima Yi could continue to study in Taixue, after all, there are great Confucians like Zheng Xuan and Kong Rong in Taixue now, but Liu Xie thinks that Sima Yi should go outside to study. As for Sima Yi's own opinions, neither Liu Xie nor Sima Fang considered them.

"Ganluo is the twelfth minister, I am now sixteen, why can't I enter the court as an official?" Afterwards, Sima Yi was unconvinced and found Liu Xie to question, and asked him to go to his father to reason that he didn't dare.

"Look at the example you gave, Ganluo is twelve, but do you know that Ganluo also lost his head at the age of twelve?" Liu Xie said to Sima Yi angrily.

"Huh? Is there such a thing? ”

"Nonsense, what am I lying to you about this?"
