Leaving fashion is mid-April, when I come back is already May, when I leave I am just a baby boy who has just come out of the swaddling clothes, when I come back is already in charge of three thousand military horses, when I leave, the trees and flowers beside the road have just spit out the buds, when I come back, the green grass seedlings on both sides of the road are gently swaying with the breeze, and as far as the eye can see, the world and the ocean are in a green ocean.

The team of 2,000 people pulled out a long black line along the official road, Zhang Quan rode on a tall horse and talked and laughed with Shi Jin next to him, Shi Jin is also a cheerful person, with the memory of the current original personality has long been integrated into the existing life, Rao has experienced a lot of cold jokes, popcorn, etc., and is also amused by Shi Jin to laugh.
Luo Tong was left in Huguan by Zhang Quan, integrating Huguan and the headquarters of the people, Zhang Quan gave enough 1,000 people to stay in Huguan, Huguan is the strategic artery leading to Hebei in Bingzhou, and it is also the main pass on Taihang Mountain, and it is the outpost to resist the Taihang bandits, and there is no room for loss. At present, Yuan Shao has not yet occupied Jizhou, and the role of the party is not dangerous, Luo Tong is somewhat condescending to be stationed here, but Zhang Quan has no one to trust except Shi Jin and Luo Tong.
The news of the triumph of the army had already been notified to the Taishou Mansion, and under the leadership of the county lord and the chief bookkeeper, Taishou and his party were greeted outside the city of the eldest son. From a distance, Zhang Quan saw many people standing under the towering tower, and ordered the others to be stationed in the camp outside the city, and only took Shi Jin and more than 100 personal soldiers to the city gate. The closer he got to the city, the more sad Zhang Quan's mood became, and the family affection was vivid, but the tragic death of his father was also painful.
Coming to the city gate, Zhang Quan turned over and dismounted, came to the front of the old man at the head, bowed down and said, "Nephew, Zhang Quan has seen Wang Juncheng, and to another middle-aged man next to him, "I have seen Master Chen."
Juncheng Wang Wen tried to search backwards on tiptoe for a moment and didn't see the figure, and asked suspiciously, "Virtuous nephew, why don't you see Zhang Taishou"?
Zhang Quan's heart sank, he should have come and returned, arched his hand and said, "My father is sick, I can't see you, please forgive me", paused, and said again, "It's not a place to talk when it's windy here, and I invite the two of you to go to the Taishou Mansion to talk."
Zhang Quan's speech was neither humble nor arrogant, just right, quite unbelievable to Juncheng Wang Wen, secretly surprised in his heart, and now he didn't see Zhang Yang's figure, saying that he was in poor health, but Zhang Yang has always been in good health, but at this time, it was very strange.
Juncheng Wang Wen was silent with a different color on his face, and then Chen Zhushu on the side jumped out and flicked his sleeves, "Hmph, Taishou is so prestigious, Juncheng waited here for me and other subordinates all morning, and Taishou didn't even show his face, so where am I?" “
Zhang Quan's face did not change in the slightest, and he lowered his head very respectfully, "I'm really sorry, my father is suddenly ill and can't meet you here, so I ask my little nephew to apologize to everyone, and by the way, I invite you to Taishou Mansion to talk about it." ”
Master Chen snorted coldly, turned around, Zhang Quan was polite and polite, not arrogant or impatient, so that the angry Chen Master Book seemed to punch the cotton, extremely uncomfortable, but he couldn't be angry at a weak crown!
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly cooled down, and Juncheng Wang Wen coughed lightly, stood up and asked with concern, "Hasn't Zhang Taishou always been Jianlang, why is his condition so serious all of a sudden?"
There are many people in front of the city gate, if the news of Zhang Yang's death spreads, it may not be easy to control the explosion, so Zhang Quan had to continue to perfunctory persuade a few people to go to the Taishou Mansion.
"In the past few days, my father has been fighting day and night, but he can't withstand the spring cold, so he can't see you adults."
The spring is cold, and the place of the city gate is open in all directions, a cold wind hit, freezing a few people sneezed, and the county prince Wang Wen also tightened his clothes, touching his gray beard, "Illness is like a mountain, human nature, I will wait for this to go to Taishou Mansion." Zhang Quan exhaled heavily, for fear that these cow noses would break the casserole endlessly and ask to the end, so he hurriedly led the way in front and took a few people to Taishou Mansion.
Surrounded by the two of them to the Taishou Mansion, Zhang Quan motioned to Shi Jin to guard outside the door and wait for the order. When he came to the place where Zhang Yang had been tired, he suddenly burst into tears, sadness, trembling, and so on. This is not a physical pain, but a heartache, which cannot be released, only hard to persevere! Hang on! Hold on!
The two came to the reception hall of the Taishou Mansion, and saw that there was no flamboyant figure in the head, and the county prince Wang Wen turned sideways and was about to ask, but when he saw Zhang Quan trembling all over, he trembled, and hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with the virtuous nephew?"
Enduring the pain in his body, Zhang Quan tried to speak: "My father was unfortunately killed", and after speaking, he couldn't suppress the grief in his heart, and cried loudly.
Master Chen was stunned, pounced and grabbed Zhang Quan's shoulder and shook it, "What? Mrs. Zhang is dead?
"What's going on" Wang Juncheng opened his mouth, his beard trembling.
"When conquering Huguan, my father was unfortunately injured by a stray arrow, and before he could save it, he died" Zhang Quan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, choked and told Zhang Yang's experience of accidental death, of course, slightly modified, Zhang Yang was not killed by Yang Chou, but was injured by a flying arrow in the heroic battle.
The two listened to Zhang Quan's intermittent crying, and they were also embarrassed, Zhang Yang's body is tough, and he is also a general immediately, how can he say that he will leave, the battlefield is cruel and cold-blooded after all, no matter who you are an invincible general or the lowest soldier, death is only in an instant, and no one can help you.
The two of them stared blankly at the empty position of the head, silent, just ten days ago, everyone was still here talking, cooking wine and talking about the Chinese New Year, and now the familiar figure has left them. Maybe it's because of that love, or maybe it's because of that hatred, the two of them more or less left a line of tears down their cheeks.
It wasn't until his legs were numb that Juncheng Wang Wen rubbed his dry eyes and asked in a hoarse voice, "I don't know what Zhang Taishou commanded when he died?" ”
Finally said the most critical point, Zhang Quan said while carefully paying attention to the expressions of the two, "My father just said that I will temporarily replace this team, and the rest will wait until the eldest son is discussing with you!"
The party was bought by Zhang Yang with his life, how could Zhang Quan let go, and besides, this was the first cornerstone of Zhang Quan's advancement, and Zhang Quan could not be sloppy. The two of them are the most powerful people in the Taishou Mansion except for the Taishou, and if Zhang Quan wants to control the party as quickly as possible, the steps of these two must be taken. When he came, Zhang Quan had already made a draft in his heart, if the two of them obediently agreed that everything would be discussed, if the two of them didn't know what to do, blame Zhang Quan for not telling the favors, let him blood splash three feet!
Zhang Quan said euphemistically, but in the hearts of the two of them, the world chaos demon king Dong Zhuo controlled the court, so that the decree was not passed, and the county orders were too shou to move their minds, occupy the mountain as the king, and became the emperor of the soil, Zhang Yang is obviously one of them, although he is dead, he still wants to hereditary to his son, but you don't want to think that Zhang Quan has that ability?
The two of them had different expressions, and suddenly realized, only to realize that there was a faint sound of Jin Ge coming from the gloomy surroundings, and they looked at each other with solemn faces.
Glancing at the pair of knives and axes waiting outside the door, Master Chen proudly straightened his chest and walked out of the door with his sleeves flicked up.
"Hey, Master Chen, please stay!" Wang Juncheng hurriedly shouted, he really didn't take his life seriously, but Master Chen didn't seem to hear it, and strode away without looking back.
Looking at the back of Master Chen's departure, Zhang Quan smiled slightly, and motioned to Shi Jin not to stop him and let him go.
can leave so chicly, this person is either a heroic person or a bold person, Zhang Quan is more and more curious about this person, I want to see how you make waves in my palm!
Seeing that Master Chen left unharmed, Juncheng Wang Wen's heart also relaxed, and secretly thought, after all, he was still a child and would not be so cold-blooded, "Virtuous nephew, people can't be resurrected after death, please mourn and change, Taishou's funeral should be done as soon as possible, now the weather is hot, it is not suitable to stay for a long time, the old man retired first" shook his head helplessly, and turned to leave.
The two left one after another, and Zhang Quan also figured it out, in fact, it doesn't have to be like this, the great man of the generation of power in the barrel of the gun has already explained to us clearly, Zhang Quan has already mastered the military power, and is he afraid of being beaten by a group of people with a pen? Ay! The reputation is tiring, all this is not to avoid the image of a reckless man!
"Go, keep an eye on the two of them, especially Master Chen" Looking at the empty door, Zhang Quan instructed Shi Jindao.
Looking back, looking at the backyard of the Taishou Mansion, Zhang Quan didn't know how to face his mother, telling him all this, he had been with each other for more than 20 years, and now he died, leaving orphans and widows, the world is silkworms, and life is unpredictable.
On the second day, the city was full of vegetarians, suddenly like a night of pear blossoms, the whole eldest son was shrouded in a white ocean, the eldest son was on both sides of the main road, and the armor was strict, five steps, one pole, ten steps and one sentry, and went straight to the Taishou Mansion. Zhang Quan did not notify other party officials too much, but quietly prepared for Zhang Yang's funeral, and many party and government leaders still learned about the situation through the tone of the two, and most of them who had some friendship with Zhang Yang spontaneously came to Zhang Yang's funeral.
"Up!" , a high and long voice came into everyone's ears.
The huge Taishou Mansion was suddenly full of people, and the huge mahogany coffin was slowly lifted under the divine power of the eight big men.
"Row"
The sound of suona, crying, mixed with people's calls and voices surrounded the mahogany coffin slowly moved out of the city, Zhang Quan was dressed in filial piety clothes, holding the coffin with his own hands, crying loudly, and his mother Zhang cried and fainted several times, and the sad voice made people smell and cry.
Along the way, the white paper floated between the heaven and the earth, the air seemed to be condensed, the breeze blew as if someone pouted a stick in the turbid liquid, drifting and drifting away, the red coffin was embroidered with various cranes and beasts in the white tone, it looked so eye-catching, eye-catching.
The soul comes and goes, the world is solemn under the reflection of the hunting white flags, the mother and son struggle several times, fall and get up, get up and fall, desperately grasp the corner of the coffin and don't let go, the mud on the body can't cover the sad hearts of the two, and the hoarse voice can't call the figure of the great shore.
A few miles away would normally take a long time, but in today's view, Zhang Quan seemed to be so short, and he blinked his scarlet eyes and arrived at the tomb.
"Fall"
With a "bang", the huge coffin fell into the grave that had already been dug up.
The surrounding loess quickly covered the entire coffin, and the melodious suona sound fluctuated. This was also the last time Zhang Quan saw his father, and it was also the last look that his mother Zhang could see, and his mother's mournful cry resounded in the empty yellow earth for a long time.
This day is also repeatedly sad for the decline of a generation of heroes, yesterday was still a sunny day, and today it has become very gloomy, heavy clouds press people out of breath, just in front of the tomb of Zhang Yang the last soil filled, the sky drifted drizzle, this is also the first rain in the land of Bingzhou this spring.
In the first year of Chuping, in May 190 AD, one of the princes of Dong on the Eighteenth Road, Shangdang Taishou Zhang Yang died in Huguan.
