Chapter 54: Zhang Liao

Although there was a letter of recommendation written by Guo Wen to Guo Yi, after arriving in Yanmen, Su Chen did not go directly to the Yin Pavilion, that is, the seat of Yanmen County, but went to Mayi first. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Speaking of Mayi, we cannot fail to mention the famous "Mayi Scheme" in history.

In the sixth lunar month of 133 BC (the second year of Yuanguang), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent 300,000 elite soldiers to order the general Han Anguo, the general of the cavalry, Li Guang, and the general of the light chariot, Gongsun He, to lead the main army to ambush in the valley near Mayi. Wang Hui, the general of Tun, and Li Xi, the general of Caiguan, led more than 30,000 people out of Dai County (northeast of present-day Wei County, Hebei Province), preparing to attack the Xiongnu's baggage from the flank and cut off their retreat, completely annihilating the main force of the Xiongnu in one fell swoop. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also sent the merchant Nie Yi to the Xiongnu to lure the enemy.

Nie Yi went out of the fortress to do business in the name of seeing the Xiongnu military minister Shan Yu. Nie Yi deceived the military minister Shan Yu and said that he had hundreds of men under his command, who could kill the order of Mayi County, surrender the city, and all the livestock and property could go to the Xiongnu, but the Xiongnu must send a large army to meet them in case of Han soldiers. The military ministers coveted the property of Mayi City, personally led an army of 100,000 into Wuzhou, and sent envoys to enter Mayi with Nie Yi first, and then marched after killing the order of Mayi County. Nie Yi then returned to Mayi to conspire with the county commander, killed a prisoner, cut off his head and hung it above the city gate, disguised as the head of the county commander, and deceived the Xiongnu envoys.

After receiving the envoy's report, the military minister Shan Yu led the army to march in the direction of Mayi. When the army came to a place more than 100 miles away from Mayi, they found that there were livestock along the way, but no one was grazing, which aroused the suspicion of the military minister Shan Yu. At this time, the Xiongnu captured the small pavilion of the side defense and captured the captain of the Han Yanmen. Under the threat, Wei Shi told all the plans of the Han army. After hearing this, the military minister Shan Yu was shocked and then overjoyed, and said: "I got the time of the emperor who is not the son of the Han Dynasty, it is really a gift from God." So he named Wei Shi the "King of Heaven" and ordered the immediate withdrawal of the army.

The 30,000 troops led by Wang Hui and Li Xi had left Dai County, preparing to attack the Xiongnu's baggage, and they were very surprised when they learned that the Xiongnu had withdrawn. Wang Hui thought to himself that his army was no match for the Xiongnu army. I had to return it. Han Anguo and others led a large army to ambush in the territory of Mayi, but there was no movement for several days, so they changed the original battle plan and led the army to attack, but the result was nothing.

After the failure of the "Siege of Mayi", Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty proposed war with Wang Hui but escaped from the battle and imprisoned Wang Hui. Tingwei sentenced Wang Hui to death for fear of the enemy and wait-and-see. Although Wang Hui bribed Tian Wei to intercede through Emperor Wu's mother, the Empress Dowager, he still could not appease Emperor Wu's anger, and Wang Hui was forced to commit suicide to apologize.

After the "Siege of Mayi", the Xiongnu refused to make peace with the Western Han Dynasty, barricade and plunder on the border, or sent troops to attack the border counties of the Han Dynasty in retaliation for the siege of Mayi, and the number was too large to count.

In this Ma Yi scheme, a family has also gone from glory to decline, and this family is the Nie family of "Yanmen Ma Yi Hao". Ma Yi's plot failed, the Nie family was not allowed to be confined to the Xiongnu, and they were afraid that the court would condemn them, so they changed their surname to avoid resentment and changed their surname to Zhang.

Although the surname Zhang was no different from the poor family at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was a famous person, and this person was Zhang Liao.

Su Chen didn't know what year Zhang Liao was born and how old he is now, after arriving in Mayi, he asked all the way, but few people had heard of Zhang Liao's name.

Su Chen and the three of them searched for a day, but they didn't find it, and the next day, someone came to the inn where they stayed, and the person who came was a little beggar, I heard that these three people were looking for a person named Zhang Liao, and they didn't know where the courage came from, so they found them, saying that as long as they gave money, he could help find Zhang Liao.

"Where did the little beggar come from, while going, can you meddle in the affairs of the masters? Don't get out of here! Wei Xu is unapologetic about a beggar.

Su Chen was dining when he heard Wei Xu's voice and asked casually, "What's the matter?" ”

Hearing Su Chen's words, Wei Xu turned his head and replied, "Lord, this little beggar who came from nowhere actually said that he could help us find Zhang Liao, isn't it a joke." ”

This is not to blame Wei Xu, this time accompanied Su Chen all the way, on the way they heard the lord say a lot of things about Zhang Liao, in the mouth of the lord, this Zhang Liao is a loyal and brave general, how can a little beggar know such a character, so he takes it for granted that this little beggar is just to cheat money.

"Oh?" Su Chen didn't miss any opportunity, and ordered, "You let him come in and talk." ”

"Ugh!"

Wei Xu recruited the little beggar in a little impatiently, and Su Chen handed him a dough cake and said, "Can you really help us find Zhang Liao?" ”

The little beggar took the bread and ate it unceremoniously, as if he had not stopped his words in his ears.

Su Chen was not angry, and poured another cup of tea for him, the little beggar hurriedly took the tea, and accidentally choked some dough cakes, he quickly caught it with his hand and put it back in his mouth.

Su Chen didn't urge him, and after he finished eating, he asked again, and this time the little beggar said: "Hui Gongzi, I know a person named Zhang Liao, but I don't know if the person Gongzi is looking for is him." ”

"Oh?" Su Chen didn't care how the little beggar knew each other, with the idea of not letting go of the mistake, he said: "You take us to meet this Zhang Liao, whether it is or not, this hanging money is yours." ”

After that, Su Chen directly took out a string of saved five-baht coins and threw it on the table.

The little beggar snatched the money from the table and said, "Childe, come with me." ”

In Wei Xu's reluctance, Su Chen and the others followed the little beggar for a long time, and the houses along the way became lower and lower, thinking that this was the slum of Mayi.

Finally stopped in front of a dilapidated house, and the little beggar suddenly shouted: "Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao, someone is looking for you!" ”

"Who?" After a while, a young man with drooping hair came out of the house, who looked like he was about ten years old, looked at the little beggar, and then looked at the costumes of Su Chen and the three of them, and asked the three of them: "I am Zhang Liao, what are you looking for me?" ”

"Poof!"

Wei Xu saw this ten-year-old boy calling himself Zhang Liao, thinking of the loyal and brave man in the lord's mouth, the more he thought about it, the more interesting he felt, but he couldn't help laughing.

It's not just him, even Cao Xing is holding back very hard, but in the end, he usually compares prices seriously, and he only can't bear to laugh, but if you look at his expression, you should know that he endures extremely hard.

Su Chen and Liujian are like brothers, they don't have any fights, and they don't laugh at Wei Xu, in fact, it's not just the two of them, he himself is also a little dumbfounded at this time, could it be that Zhang Liao, who is mighty and carefree, is the ten-year-old boy in front of him?

"Poof!" Thinking about it, he couldn't help laughing out loud, he was so small, Cao Xuan really couldn't hold it back, and the three of them laughed together for a while.

The little beggar didn't know why the three of them were laughing, but the little Zhang Liao said a little angrily when he saw this: "The three of them are gorgeously dressed, and they have some reasons to come, could it be that the door today is specifically to humiliate this ten-year-old boy?" ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Su Chen stopped laughing, didn't dare to underestimate him anymore, and asked, "Are you really Zhang Liao?" Do you have parents at home? ”

"There are no parents, only the elder brother and Liao are dependent on each other in the Liao family." When it comes to his parents, Xiao Zhang Liao seems to be a little lost.

"Hmmm! Is your brother at home? Su Chen saw that his words and deeds were quite good, so he became interested, regardless of whether he was the Zhang Liao in history.

was talking about Brother Zhang Liao, when a voice suddenly sounded outside: "A certain Zhang Fan, who is Zhang Liao's brother, I don't know what a few people are doing when they come to the cold house?" ”

Zhang Fan?

Su Chen had never heard of this character.

The man carried a bow and arrows on his back, a hunting knife at his waist, and two fat hares in his hands, and looked like he had just returned from hunting.

Zhang Pan invited the three of them into the house to sit down, and asked Zhang Liao to boil a pot of white water before saying: "I'm really sorry that there is no good tea to entertain your guests in the cold house." ”

Zhang Pan looked older than Su Chen, and he was in his twenties, he clasped his fists with both hands and said, "Brother Zhang, I came uninvited, but I wanted to verify one thing." ”

"What's the matter?" Zhang Pan didn't feel that his brother had something worthy of the trio of them, the family was surrounded by walls, and he was just an ordinary hunter, and the three of them came to make him a little confused.

Su Chen didn't make a detour, and asked directly: "Dare to ask Brother Zhang's ancestor is surnamed Nie?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Pan suddenly stood up, as if he was about to make a move, but what kind of person was Wei Xucao Xing, seeing Zhang Fan's sudden outburst, he immediately drew his sword, as long as he dared to act rashly, it would be the result of a sword piercing his chest.

Zhang Pan also knew that these three people were extraordinary in martial arts, and with his little kung fu, he was by no means the opponent of the three of them, especially when he felt the momentum on Su Chen's body, he thought that the other party should be a cultivator, but he didn't know why it was difficult for him to be a little hunter.

At the moment, it is a man-made knife and I am a fish, even if Zhang Pan is a little careful in his heart, he can only clean it up, at this time, Zhang Liao came out with boiling water, and when he saw this situation, the kettle in his hand fell to the ground.

Su Chen's eyes were quick, and he stepped forward to catch the kettle, and then quickly returned to his seat, all of this happened between the lightning and flint, Zhang Liao only saw a figure flashing, and then saw the kettle placed safely on the table.

Su Chen's move, Zhang Pan was completely dead, closed his eyes and said: "Yes, the ancestor of a certain family is surnamed Nie!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Su Chen was already seven points sure, this Zhang Liao should be the famous Zhang Liao in history, now it is the second year of Guanghe, Zhang Liao is ten years old, and when he is six years old in Zhongping, it will be exactly more than twenty, and the annual collar is in line.

At this time, he cultivated his true qi and knew some techniques of touching bones, so he grabbed Zhang Liao and pinched it a few times, making Zhang Pan sweat like rain.

"Don't be afraid, my brother won't hurt you!" Su Chen softly comforted Zhang Liao in a panic, and said to Zhang Fan: "Brother Zhang, Brother Ling's qualifications are extraordinary, I want to take him with me to teach, I don't know what Brother Zhang wants?" ”

No way!

Zhang Pan subconsciously said these two words in his heart, which showed the martial arts of the three of them, and saw Zhang Liao's small body, remembering that he always chased after his brother and begged him to teach martial arts on weekdays, but he couldn't make up his mind for a while.
