The troops had been mobilized, and Zhang Zai and Cai Yong, together with the Huangfu brothers, bid farewell to the two. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Before leaving, Zhang Zai walked in front of Huangfu Song and whispered: "After Zai leaves, please be careful that Li Dao and others invade Chang'an again." ”

Huangfu Song frowned, he didn't understand what Zhang Zai meant, but he still nodded, indicating that he knew.

Everyone said goodbye, Zhang Zai followed Cai Yong's carriage forward, and Huangfu Jianshou and Huangfu Li on the side suddenly knelt down, kowtowed to Huangfu Song three times, and said with tears in his eyes: "Father (uncle) take care." ”

Huangfu Song helped them up, took their hands and said, "Don't be a child, hurry up and get on the road." ”

The two held back the tears in their eyes, bowed deeply, and then turned on their horses and left Chang'an.

Zhang Zai and others marched all the way, and before dark, they arrived at the city of Anyi, the seat of Hedong County.

30,000 soldiers marched, the movement was very loud, the defenders did not know the origin of Zhang Zai and others, and hurriedly closed the city gate, and Zhang Zai and others, as if they did not see the panic of the defenders, stopped not far from the city gate and stood there quietly.

The county soldiers at the head of the city were so frightened that their faces were like earth, although Zhang Zai and others were still under the banner of the Han army, but they were still afraid that Zhang Zai would attack the city, and at the same time sent someone to inform the Taishou Wangyi in the city, hoping that Wangyi could come forward.

Not long after, Wang Yi, dressed in official uniform, appeared at the head of the city, looking at the neatly looked army of 30,000 troops, and a few drops of cold sweat unconsciously shed from his sideburns.

"Xiaguan Hedong is too guarded by Wangyi, I don't know which general is in person, please come out and talk about it." Wang Yi bowed to the city, and the number of salutes was very thoughtful, for fear that Zhang Zai and others would disagree and lead troops to attack the city.

Zhang Zai glanced at Huangfu Jianshou beside him, Huangfu Jianshou understood, rode his horse out of battle, took a deep breath and replied: "A certain is the general of the expedition to the north, and the commander of the state, today with the lord to march here, it is late, want to stay here for one night, and ask the prince to make it convenient." ”

When Wang Yi heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Zhang Zai was coming to attack the city, he only had 10,000 defenders in his hands, and there was no general to command, once the war started, the city would definitely be ruined and people would die, and now it seems that it is safe.

Wang Yi breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the soldiers around him to open the city gate, and then said, "Please also ask General Zhengbei to enter the city." ”

Luo Cheng was still in charge of camping outside the city, and Zhang Zai only took more than 100 personal guards, Wang Meng, Dian Wei, and Huangfu brothers to accompany him, got off his horse, and slowly entered the city.

After Zhang Zai entered the city, Wang Yi stood at the gate of the city, saw Zhang Zai, bowed down and said: "Xiaguan Wang Yi, welcome the general." ”

Zhang Zai's eyes swept over and instinctively checked Wang Yi's attributes.

"Wang Yi: 61 strength, 66 skills, 53 commands, 47 strategies, 76 internal affairs, 68 politics."

Zhang Zai helped Wang Yi up, smiled and said: "Wang Taishou doesn't need to be polite, it was Zai who came here suddenly, which affected the order in the city, and I hope that Taishou will not be surprised." ”

Wang Yi was neither humble nor arrogant: "The general's words are serious, and the guards of the city gate are also a little noisy, and they can't complain about the general." ”

"What, listening to Taishou's words, this Hedong is a little unpeaceful?" Jang Jae asked suspiciously.

Wang Yi shook his head with a wry smile, made a gesture of please, and said, "Please also invite the general to the cold house, and let the official come slowly." ”

"It's fine." Zhang Zai followed Wang Yi's guidance and walked towards the city.

When everyone came to the Taishou Mansion, Wang Yi invited Zhang Zai to take a seat, and then ordered someone to prepare wine and food and bring them to everyone's desk.

Wang Yi toasted Zhang Zai with a glass of wine, drank it all, and said: "The general doesn't know, in recent days, a group of bandits have appeared in Hedong, specializing in robbing homes and houses, and several county towns in Hedong have been broken by them, and then the materials in the county government have been looted. ”

"Actually, didn't Wang Taishou organize the soldiers and horses in the county to eliminate the thieves?" Zhang Zai frowned, looking at Wang Yi's gaze with some contempt.

Wang Yi looked at the trace of disdain in Zhang Zai's eyes, and said with a wry smile: "Of course, the lower officials want to eliminate the thieves, but the two captains and thousands of sergeants sent out have not heard from them for two days, and none of them have come back to report or ask for help. ”

When Zhang Zai heard this, he became interested, you must know that although the combat effectiveness of the county soldiers is not as good as that of the border army, they should also be stronger than ordinary bandits, not to mention that they can wipe out thousands of people.

"Then I don't know if there have been bandits in Hedong before?" Zhang Zai also thought about the possible situation in his heart.

Hedong County and the four counties of Shangdang, Taiyuan, Xihe and Shangjun of the state, the north is completely surrounded by the four counties, the northeast is high, the southwest is low, there is the Flame Mountain in the northwest, the southeast and due south is the Zhongtiao Mountain, the northeast is the Huo Mountain, the mountains are blocked on three sides, the Yellow River in the southwest is crossed, it can be regarded as the four stops of mountains and rivers, which is convenient for marching to the south and west.

There are many rivers and valleys in the territory, and there are two major basins, with an annual output of millions of stone grains, so since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the east of the river is rampant with bandits, the most famous is the Baibo Army, the government has no ability to eliminate, can only try to suppress, and finally develop to let it go, and later, Dong Zhuo sent his son-in-law Niu Fu to encircle and suppress, and was also defeated, and then it was gone.

But later, when Dong Zhuo returned to Chang'an, he sent Li Dao and Guo Yan to crusade and cripple Bai Bo, and then Bai Bo's army disappeared.

"Could it be the White Wave Army?" Zhang Zai muttered to himself.

"Impossible!" Wang Yi said directly: "The general has lived in the state for a long time, and he may not know that a year ago, Bai Bo had been eliminated by Dong Zhuo's command. ”

Wang Yi has been promoted to Hedong Taishou for some years, speaking of which, he is still Wang Yun's clan, which is also the reason why he can gain a firm foothold in Hedong, so he still has some understanding of the battle between Dong Zhuo and Bai Bo.

Compared to the fear brought by Bai Bo, Wang Yi hoped that it was a new group of bandits.

Zhang Zai couldn't help but think of a famous general from Bai Bo, Xu Huang.

This Xu Huang was saved by Yang Feng, so he served under him, and saved Yang Feng's life many times, and it was when Cao Cao welcomed the emperor that he returned to Cao Cao, so this Yang Feng should be fine, and Bai Bo still exists.

But looking at Wang Yi's appearance, he seemed to be very frightened by Bai Bojun, after all, he was just guessing, so he didn't say anything more and continued to drink.

After drinking, the sky was already dark, so Wang Yi arranged Zhang Zai and others to live in the mansion.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Zhang Zai woke up, and as soon as he got dressed, a guard came to report, saying that there was a small official outside the door who asked to see him.

Zhang Zai ordered someone to invite him to the room, looked at the visitor, and then checked his attributes.

"Jia Kui Ziliang Dao: Strength 72, Skill 75, Command 78, Strategy 84, Internal Affairs 87, Politics 80"

I didn't expect to meet a talent here, this is the state pastor in the hands of Cao Cao in the future, a handsome man.

"The villain meets the general." Jia Kui bowed.

Zhang Zai came back to his senses and stared at him tightly, looking at Jia Kui a little confused.
