Chapter 654: Ambition (1)

Yan Yan, the word is unknowable. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Born in one of the five major families of Ba County, the Yan family.

Sexual uprightness and bravery. When Liu Yan was in charge of Yizhou, Yan Yan had already worshiped Captain Baishui, and he had a super high prestige in Xichuan. Later, he served as the Taishou of Bajun and pacified the party. Because he has been in the army for a long time, he has countless protégés. Many generals in Xichuan are from Yan Yan's subordinates, including Leng Bao and others, who are full of respect for Yan Yan. It is precisely because of this that Liu Zhang let him sit in Ba County and take charge of the Xichuan portal.

Historically, when Liu Bei entered Shu and arrived in Ba County, Yan Yan asked himself: This so-called sitting alone in the poor mountain and letting the tiger defend himself.

In other words, when Liu Bei first entered Shu, Yan Yan had already seen Liu Bei's intentions. Helplessly, Liu Zhang didn't listen to the dissuasion, and Yan Yan was helpless. Later, Liu Bei and Liu Zhang turned against each other, and Zhang Fei attacked Jiangzhou, broke Ba County, and captured Yan Yan alive. Zhang Fei angrily reprimanded Yan Yan and said: The army is coming, why dare to refuse to fight because it is unknown? Yan Yan replied: Qing and the others have no case, invade our state, and our state is worried about the decapitated general, and there is no general. In a word, Zhang Fei was furious and wanted to cut off Yan Yan's head, but Yan Yan was not afraid at all and went to his death.

Later, Zhang Feizhuang relieved him and introduced Yan Yan as a guest.

Since then, Yan Yan has never appeared again. Different from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Yan Yan felt Zhang Fei's magnanimity in the Romance, attached himself to Liu Bei, and established many meritorious achievements. But in the official history, Yan Yan only became Zhang Fei's guest, and did not belong to Liu Bei. There were even rumors in later generations that Yan Yan heard that Chengdu was broken, so he cut off his head and committed suicide...... As for whether it is true or not, it is impossible to know.

Cao Peng also greatly appreciates and respects Yan Yan.

This is a veteran like Huang Zhong, and the difference with Huang Zhong is that Huang Zhong has not been reused by others from beginning to end, and it is normal to surrender Liu Bei; As for Yan Yan, as a county guard, it seems a little ...... to surrender to Liu Bei However, did Yan Yan really demote Liu Bei? Or as rumored, he became Zhang Fei's guest, and when Chengdu was broken, Yan Yan committed suicide?

Cao Peng is also very curious.

"Most of my family is the governor, and Cao Peng is."

Fa Zheng urged him to step forward and introduce him to Yan Yan.

Beside him, there was a man of five small figures, who looked nearly forty years old. It's fine on a horse, but it's too small compared to the people around you. This person is Zhang Song...... Cao Peng estimated it with his eyes, I am afraid that he is not even 160 cm, and it is indeed as recorded in the history books, with a figure of five small. At this time, Zhang Song was sitting on horseback with a proud expression. Hearing Fa Zheng's introduction, Zhang Song was stunned, and a strange expression appeared on his face. Perhaps, in his opinion, Cao Peng is too young!

"But it's Cao Gongzi in person."

Yan Yan arched his hand on the horse, and he was also embarrassed in his heart, Cao Peng's youth.

Don't look at him in Ba County, but he has also heard of Cao Peng's name for a long time. In particular, Cao Peng's "Burrow Inscription" was even more liked by Yan Yan, and he also specially ordered someone to write it, hang it in the study, and figure it out from time to time. Now, I met Cao Peng. On the one hand, Yan Yan was surprised by Cao Peng's youth, and on the other hand, he was secretly shocked. Just now, Cao Peng's iron meteor was hit with a nine-link technique, which really surprised Yan Yan.

Fortunately, Cao Peng had no malicious intent, otherwise Yan Yan would have died in the situation just now.

Therefore, in his words, Yan Yan did not have the slightest contempt.

"Uncle Zhong, how is the old general?"

After Cao Peng saw Yan Yan, he asked Huang Zhong with a smile.

But I heard Huang Zhong say: "There are some methods, which are worthy of what the original son said......"

At first glance, Huang Zhong's words seem to be quite contemptuous. But after learning Huang Zhong's methods, Yan Yan didn't think what Huang Zhong said was wrong. In front of Huang Zhong, his bravery may indeed be just 'some means'. Listening to Cao Peng's name for Huang Zhong again, Yan Yan couldn't help but be a little surprised. When he looked back at Huang Zhong, his gaze was a little different. After all, the person who can be honored by Cao Peng as uncle in front of everyone will never be simple. He had already admired Huang Zhong's martial arts, but now he was a little more curious about Huang Zhong.

"How does the Governor know about me?"

Yan Yan asked suspiciously.

Indeed, as early as when Cao Peng arrived, he directly shouted 'Old General Yan', doesn't it show that he is no stranger to Yan Yan?

The problem is that Bashu is remote and rarely interacts with the Central Plains.

Yan Yan has a good reputation in Xichuan, but out of Xichuan, how many people know him?

In my heart, I can't help but feel a little proud. After all, Cao Peng is not an ordinary person, and it is a good thing that Cao Peng can be known by Cao Peng.

Cao Peng said with a smile: "I not only know the name of the old general, but also know that the old general is from Linjiang, and he is from Yan, one of the five surnames of Linjiang...... I mention one person, but I don't know if the old general knows. In the past, Bajun Rice Bear, do you still have an impression? I learned from Mr. Gan. ”

Linjiang, in the territory of Ba County.

In Linjiang, there are five big families, also known as the five surnames of Linjiang, namely Yan, Gan, Wen, Yang, and Du. Yan Yan is from the Yan family, one of the five surnames in Linjiang, and Gan Ning is a descendant of the Gan family, one of the five surnames in Linjiang. The so-called Bajun rice bear is the old family Gan Mao that Cao Peng met by chance at Zhang Zhongjing's house in Nieyang. At first, Cao Peng didn't know what the word 'rice bear' meant. It wasn't until Gan Ning was attached to it that he understood the connotation. The rice of the rice bear refers to the Five Buckets of Rice Sect, that is, the Heavenly Master Sect of later generations.

Zhang Ling created five buckets of rice and did good deeds in Xichuan.

Gan Mao is a disciple of the Five Dou Rice Sect, and because of his practice of bear fighting, he got the name of Rice Bear.

However, after Zhang Lu took over the Wudoumi Sect, there was infighting among the sect members. Gan Mao didn't bother to pay attention to those trivial matters, so he left Xichuan.

Therefore, when Cao Peng mentioned the word rice bear, Yan Yan couldn't help but perk.

Not only Yan Yan, but even Zhang Song, who was silently observing Cao Peng on the side, couldn't help frowning, revealing a thoughtful expression.

"Do you know Gan Mao?"

Yan Yan asked in surprise. However, he immediately laughed, "That's right...... I heard that Jin Fan'er is now an official and serves under you. No wonder! It turned out to be the reason for Gan Mao's old man. How is that old guy now? I haven't heard from him in years. ”

"Mao Bo is now in Xudu, helping Mrs. Zhang to take care of affairs."

Cao Peng did not explain that Gan Ning defected to him, not because of Gan Mao's relationship, but because of Huang Chengyan. There is no need to explain this kind of thing to Yan Yan, he just needs to know that the Jinfan thief back then has now become a prince, and it is enough. As for the truth, even if Cao Peng had the heart to explain, Yan Yan wouldn't care.

After this greeting, the distance between the two sides has suddenly shortened a lot.

Zhang Song still seemed very silent and didn't say a word.

But Yan Yan's attitude towards Cao Peng has changed significantly......

After elaborating, Cao Peng knew the reason why Huang Zhong and Yan Yan were fighting. The reason is actually very simple, it was a deputy general in the Yizhou mission who provoked the break. The lieutenant general was the junior general who tried to stop Cao Peng before, named Luo Meng. And his ancestral home is in Xiangyang. Originally, Zhang Song was at the border, and he was very happy to see Fa Zheng coming to greet him. The group came, and when they arrived at the pick-up pavilion, they saw Huang Zhong greeting him, and Zhang Song felt even more happy. When everyone chatted, Fa Zheng subconsciously praised Cao Peng a few words.

Who knows, but it caused Romon to be very angry.

He said: "There is no one in the court, so that the erector becomes famous." ”

The implication is that Cao Peng relied on his relationship with Cao Cao to have his prestige today. This sentence immediately annoyed Huang Zhong...... Cao Peng regards Huang Zhong as an elder, and Huang Zhong looks at Cao Peng more like his own child. Besides, Cao Peng's good or bad, that round got you a yellow-haired boy comment. Huang Zhong was furious, and he was about to behead Luo Meng. Yan Yan naturally wouldn't sit idly by, so he took action to stop Huang Zhong.

So, the two fought.

Fortunately, Huang Zhong knew the severity, and his subordinates left some strength.

Otherwise, Yan Yan was very likely to be beheaded by Huang Zhong before Cao Peng arrived.

This was a loss of heart and no malice.

However, Cao Gongzi's subordinates are so majestic that they want to slash the members of the mission? Could it be that Cao Gongzi wants to make the conflict between Yizhou and the imperial court unsuccessful? ”

After arriving at the Wuxian Mansion, everyone sat down.

Zhang Song, who was the envoy of Yizhou, suddenly opened his mouth and was aggressive.

The meaning of his words was to ask Cao Peng to dispose of Huang Zhong. When Huang Zhong heard this, he was immediately furious, and his big hand held the handle of the West Pole Light Treasure Knife under his ribs, and coldness flashed in his eyes.

Zhang Song's words were obviously biased in favor of Luo Meng, and even accused Huang Zhong of not knowing the number of etiquette.

In the face of this master in history, even Cao Cao dared to be sarcastic, Cao Peng's face was as usual, and he suddenly smiled, "Yizhou, the Yizhou of the imperial court, is not a foreign country." Mr. Yongnian came this year, representing Liu Yizhou, but he didn't know that his friends came to greet him, and he also represented the imperial court.

Romon said me, but it was all right.

But between his words, offending the court, it is very undeserved.

Zhongbo...... No, General Huang Lao is the deputy governor of the tiger and leopard cavalry, and he also represents the dignity of the imperial court. In my opinion, what he did was not to force Yizhou to rebel, but to solve problems for Liu Yizhou. Mr. Yongnian is a famous person in Yizhou and reads poetry and books. Why don't you know that this etiquette is honorable and inferior, and there is a distinction between upper and lower? ”

Cao Peng's answer was very sharp.

You say the conflict between Yizhou and the imperial court? Is it possible, you think that your Yizhou can be compared to the imperial court. The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. No matter how awesome you are in Yizhou, you are also a subordinate of the imperial court. As for the conflict? Does Liu Zhang want to rebel and establish himself as king? If not, you represent Liu Zhang, and I can represent the imperial court. A small lieutenant general dares to wantonly criticize Shangguan and satirize the government, this is your Yizhou style? You Zhang Song is a famous scholar in Yizhou, and you have read all the books back?

Zhang Song's face changed, he stared at Cao Peng, and didn't say anything for a long time.

That's right, now the dynasty is sluggish, and the Han family exists in name only. But if the big brand of the imperial court does not fall for a day, then Yizhou is under the rule of the imperial court.

Cao Cao was the Son of Heaven to order the princes, remember, it was the Son of Heaven!

What he represents is the orthodoxy of the imperial court. And Cao Peng also represents the dignity of the imperial court...... At least at this time, no one dared to openly set himself up as king and rebel. Yuan Shu's experience was a lesson from the past, even if it was Zhang Song, he didn't dare to say the mistakes in Cao Peng's words at will.

Huang Zhong defended the dignity of the imperial court, what is the crime?

But that Romone, how can the word 'gaffe' shirk the past?

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense. Yan Yan frowned, glanced at Zhang Song, and shook his head helplessly.

What Zhang Yongnian said just now was indeed a little inappropriate. But as the deputy envoy of the mission, Yan Yan is not good at accusing him in person.

Fortunately, Cao Peng suddenly smiled, "But since Mr. Zhang said it was a misunderstanding, it was a misunderstanding."

We are here today, and it can be regarded as fate. I have long heard that Mr. Zhang is a famous man in Yizhou, and his talent is extraordinary, and when I saw him today, sure enough, I must be very happy to come to the prime minister to see Mr. Zhang. None of them are outsiders, Mr. Zhang and Xiaozhi are friends, and General Yan, I have heard of his name for a long time. Today, we are here, we need to get drunk and rest, Mr. Zhang, the old general, please drink. ”

Zhang Song, I've given you enough face!

Zhang Song is not a person who doesn't know what to do, seeing Cao Peng raised it high, put it down gently, and faded what happened just now, it was not good to say anything.

So, everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and returned happy.

Zhang Song returned to his residence and was just about to rest when he heard someone knocking on the door.

"Yongnian, have you ever rested?"

Listening to the voice, Zhang Song knew the identity of the person who came, so he got up and opened the door, and saw Fa Zheng standing outside the door.

"Xiaozhi, come in."

Fa Zheng walked into the room, and behind him, followed by a few entourages, came in with decanting soup and honey syrup water, and placed them on the bookcase.

"Childe was worried that Yongnian would have a hangover if he ate too much wine, so he asked me to send sobering soup to relieve Yongnian's hangover."

Fa Zheng said, waved his hand and motioned for his subordinates to retreat.

Zhang Song picked up a bowl of decanting soup and put it to his mouth, but suddenly stopped, "Filial piety, but for Cao Peng's lobbyist?" ”

Fa Zheng smiled slightly, didn't answer, picked up a bowl of honey syrup water by himself, and took a sip.

Zhang Song suddenly sighed and said in a low voice: "I was very puzzled when Xiaozhi suddenly left Chengdu earlier. It stands to reason that with the friendship between you and me, even if you leave, you will be informed. Now that I think about it, filial piety is leaving, I am afraid that there are many hidden secrets, can you tell me? ”

Obviously, Zhang Song was a little dissatisfied.

Fa Zheng said with a smile: "When I left Chengdu, there was indeed a secret.

Yongnian, you and I have known each other for ten years, and among the four million people in Xichuan, only you and Meng Da can be called my best friends. For so many years, if it weren't for you and Meng Da's help, I wouldn't know what it would be like. However, Liu Jiyu is not a person who has achieved great things, so you must have seen it very clearly.

I heard that my hometown has been very prosperous in recent years, so I was moved to return home.

But I also know that if I say goodbye to you, you will definitely stop you, and even hug me in front of Liu Jiyu, angering those guys. I thought, go home and see first, if not, I'll come back to you. I didn't want to return to my hometown, only to know that Yixian County has changed greatly, and everyone in the world is known as Cao You's ability to learn. I wanted to go to Xu Du to find a way out, but I also knew that Xu Du was a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and there were many talents, how difficult it was to get ahead? Fortunately, I knew someone in Chengdu who had a very good relationship with Cao Gongzi, so I came to give it a try......

The son is like a valley, and he is thirsty for talent.

Now, I offer wine for the tiger and leopard cavalry division, and I deserve 800 stones......

I'm thinking about how to get in touch with you. But I don't want to, you actually sent an envoy to Xiangyang. When Cao Gongzi heard that you were coming, he automatically asked Ying to come to greet you. I'm afraid you don't know, the prime minister didn't care too much, but after listening to the persuasion of the son, he asked him to return to greet him. But Gongzi still felt that it was a little rude to welcome him, so he rushed to Wuxian. He knew that you and I knew each other, and he asked me to meet him at the state border, and ordered people to sweep the streets overnight, even at the cost of a year's conscription, so that he could meet the grandeur that he saw in eternity......"

Zhang Song's face was calm, but in his heart, there was an inexplicable emotion.

He is in Yizhou, and he does have a false name, but that is because he was born in the Zhang family of Yizhou and is a wealthy local family. But in reality? He was not welcomed. Although Liu Zhang asked him to do something else, he never asked for his opinion, let alone took him to heart. If he was really reused, he recommended the Fa Rectification several times, why did no one pay attention to it? Moreover, because of his ugly appearance, he was inevitably ridiculed by many people in private.

This also makes Zhang Song have self-esteem beyond ordinary people.

When he heard Fa Zheng's words, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion......

The purpose of Liu Zhang's exclusive coming, Zhang Song is very clear. To put it bluntly, I just want to take advantage and ask for benefits. The key is that two months ago, his elder brother Zhang Su had just been cheapened by a Guanghan Taishou. And Liu Zhang used 300 cars to break copper and iron, and won the title of General Zhenwei. Liu Zhang came this time in the hope of getting the position of the third public...... Sangong, you Liu Zhang is too greedy.

It wasn't a good errand, but Zhang Song had to come again.

Hearing that Cao Peng attached so much importance to him, Zhang Song couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart: "Xiaozhi, did you mention my name to Cao Peng?" ”

Fa Zheng shook his head, "Feiye Dadu seems to have known the name of Yongnian for a long time. ”

"Oh?"

In Zhang Song's heart, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. However, he quickly calmed down, wondering why Cao Peng valued him so much.

Could it be that he knows that I have a topographic map of Xichuan?

Impossible! I didn't tell anyone about this, and it was a temporary decision before leaving, how did he know? But other than that, there is no need for Cao Peng to treat me so politely. With his reputation, there is absolutely no need to pay so much attention to me. Unless, does he really value with me?

Zhang Song's two stumbling eyebrows were unconsciously twisted.

And Fa Zheng didn't open his mouth on the side, just drank water quietly and looked at Zhang Song.

After a while, Zhang Song suddenly smiled and said: "Filial piety has been looking forward to it for many years, and now there are people who appreciate it." Although Cao Youxue is only the governor of the tiger and leopard riding capital, he is not filial piety. ”

"Yongnian, why are you sarcastic about me?"

Fa Zheng couldn't hear the meaning of Zhang Song's words, and said with a smile: "Although Gongzi Cao is only the governor of the tiger and leopard riding the capital, he is very valued by Cao Gong. Don't Yongnian know that Gongzi's disciples, thousands of stones, have been known to the world. Characters like you and me, if you want to gain a firm foothold in Xudu, it's not easy to talk about. If there is no one to help, I am afraid that it will be difficult to make a difference. Childe treats me very kindly, but I don't feel wronged.

On the contrary, I would prefer that you will come as well, so that you and my brother can be reunited again. ”

This is already a **naked pull.

Zhang Song listened to it and smiled dumbly, "The so-called loyal ministers are not the two masters, not to mention, my wife and children are all in Chengdu, and filial piety is going to be funny." ”

"Yongnian, you want to be a loyal minister, but Liu Jiyu regards you as a mustard.

Besides, this world is still the world of the court, and Liu Jiyu is just a courtier, you serve the court, why are you disloyal? As for the wives and children, if you wish, I can guarantee that they will arrive in Xudu safely. Maybe at some point, you will be able to return to your hometown in good clothes, so that those who despise you will not dare to face it. This is a great opportunity, and we should know it forever, and we must not miss it, and we will never lose it. ”

When Zhang Song heard this, his heart moved.

He raised his head suddenly, stared at Fa Zheng, and was speechless for a long time......
