Chapter 098: Say Goodbye Without Saying Goodbye

Hedong and Hanoi are both under the jurisdiction of the Division, and the relationship between the two counties is like that between Shangdang and Taiyuan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Wei family began to flourish since the general Wei Qing and the empress Wei Zifu began to flourish and became a famous family in Hedong for hundreds of years. Wei Qi had a reputation as a "prodigy" in Hedong when he was a child, and his name spread to nearby counties, and even Zhang Fan's son had heard of it.

Wei Qi was able to visit at this time of chaos, and Zhang Fan felt very happy. After the two saluted each other, Wei Qi introduced Zhang Liao behind him to Zhang Fan: "This is General Zhang Wenyuan of the Tiance Army, I can come to Xiuwu smoothly this time, and it is all thanks to Wenyuan's best escort all the way." ”

Zhang Fan then asked Zhang Liao: "When He Jin summoned Ding Jianyang to Luoyang, did you recruit troops in Hanoi?" ”

Zhang Liao nodded and said, "This is indeed the case!" At the beginning, a total of 1,500 strong men from Hanoi were recruited, and now they are all serving in the Tiance Army. ”

The three guests and hosts sat separately, and Zhang Fan's eldest son, Zhang Ling, served two cups of warm water to the guests, and then stood beside his father in a regular manner.

Zhang Fan is in his Chinese New Year's Eve and looks older, which may be related to his frequent participation in labor.

Wei Qi told Zhang Fan about what he encountered when he entered Hanoi, and then sighed and said: "Hanoi was originally a barrier for the capital division, and the world was peaceful, because it took advantage of the river, it was rich in grain production, and the trade of goods was prosperous. However, now that the troubled times have come and the people are in difficulty, Hanoi will inevitably become a battlefield for repeated contention by various forces. Brother Gongyi is open-minded by nature, and he is righteous and squandering money, but he has no food and wealth savings at home, so he is afraid that it will be difficult to continue! ”

Zhang Fan nodded, and said with some amazement: "Since the war between the coalition forces and Dong Zhuo's subordinates last year, the people of Hanoi have fled one after another, only near Xiuwu, and only four or five of the ten households remain, and it is unimaginable in the long run. I heard that Jingzhou is far away from Jingshi, and it is still peaceful, and I am about to move my family to take refuge. ”

Wei Qi dissuaded Zhang Fan and said: "Brother Gongyi wants to take refuge in Jingzhou, but he chose the wrong place!" ”

"Why did Bo Cha say that?" Zhang Fan asked a little puzzled.

Wei Qi said: "Brother Gongyi must have heard the phrase 'under the nest, how can there be eggs'? If the court is overthrown, where will there be peace? Today it is Hanoi, tomorrow it is Wei County, and the day after tomorrow it is Chenliu; This year is Si Li, next year is Qingxu, and the year after tomorrow is Jing Chu! ”

After listening to Wei Qi's analysis, Zhang Fan was silent and looked sad.

"Brother Gongyi, I can't hide it, this time I came to Hanoi to be entrusted by Tiance General Lu Fengxian and Changshi Lu Zigan, and I ask you to go to Xihe to serve as the Taishou. Cui Jun, the former Taishou of Xihe, was killed for participating in the anti-Dong campaign, and only a few counties near Lishi are now controlled by the Tiance Army. ”

Zhang Fan shook his head and said: "I am indifferent by nature and don't want to be an official, but I am afraid that General Tiance and Lu Changshi will choose the wrong person." ”

Wei Qi knew that it was not so easy to convince Zhang Fan, he raised his hand and pointed at Zhang Ling on Zhang Fan's side, and then turned his head and pointed to Zhang Shen, who was hiding outside the door and peeking in, and asked Zhang Fan: "Just looking at the yellow and thin faces of these two children, you can know how the situation is in Brother Gongyi's family." Although you are clean and self-conscious, how many people can you save through this method of helping the township? I don't think you can even feed your own children! ”

Speaking of this, Wei Qi's voice gradually became excited. "Brother Gongyi, wake up! With the power of one family, there are very few people who can be saved! If you use the power of one county, you can live tens of thousands of people; If you use the power of one county, you can live 100,000 people; If you use the power of one state, you can live millions of people! I don't know how many scholars dream of it, why do Admiral Tiance and Lu Zigan only want to entrust Zhang Gongyi in Hanoi? Just because you are not greedy for glory and fame, you are a virtuous person who is willing to do things for the common people! ”

After Wei Qi finished speaking, Zhang Liao added in a timely manner: "After the chaos of the white waves in the West River, 100,000 people jumped into the east of the river. If the gentleman cares about the people's livelihood, he should hurry to Xihe to take office and settle these displaced people! We can't stay in Xiuwu for more than half a day, Li Wei's army may come at any time, and please make a decision as soon as possible! ”

Zhang Fan hesitated and said, "I'm afraid that Zhang's ability is limited and he will live up to the wishes of Admiral Tiance and Lu Changshi." ”

Wei Qi and Zhang Liao glanced at each other, knowing that Zhang Fan was relieved.

"Mr. Zhang, don't be too humble, when you go to Xihe, there will be competent people to help you deal with government affairs!"

After Wei Qi and Zhang Liao successfully persuaded Zhang Fan, they immediately asked the soldiers guarding outside the courtyard to come in and help Zhang Fan move.

Zhang Fan's family didn't have too many valuable things, only some bamboo slips and books were his beloved things, Zhang Liao brought three hundred horses from Hedong to carry these things to the Zhang family, which was definitely more than enough.

Two hours later, Zhang Liao led his team to leave Xiuwu County.

In order to get rid of Li Dao's entanglement, Zhang Liao decisively chose to go north from Xiuwu this time, straight into Taihang, through the South Taihang Mountain, and went to Shangdang.

The word "陉", pronounced "line", means the place where the mountain range is interrupted, that is, the cliff valley road in the mountain that is impacted by the water flow.

The Taihang Mountains are like a snake winding shape, stretching up and down for more than 2,000 miles, and there are many canyons leading from Bingzhou to Youzhou, Jizhou and Sili. There are a total of eight of these canyons and ravines that can be passed by people and horses, which are called "Taihang Eight Mountains". From north to south, the eight are as follows: Jundu Cheng, Puyin Cheng, Feihu Cheng, Jingcheng Cheng, Fukou Cheng, Baicheng Cheng, Taihang Cheng, and Yiguan Cheng.

The southern end of Taihang is in Hanoi Qin County, and the northern end is at Shangdang's Tianjing Pass. An important reason why LΓΌ Bu appointed Zhang Liao to Hanoi was that Zhang Liao was very familiar with the terrain of Hanoi and Shangdang, and Zhang Liao had recruited soldiers in Hanoi at the beginning, and later led 500 cavalry to Shangdang to support Zhang Yang.

Zhang Liao was at ease with Shangdang in Hanoi, like a fish in water.

The day after Zhang Liao left Xiuwu, Li Dao led an army from Huai County to Xiuwu, but he didn't see Zhang Liao's shadow, he asked people to look for Zhang Fan's family, but naturally there was no result.

Only then did Li Wei know that Zhang Liao had said goodbye and took Zhang Fan away.

His subordinates asked if they wanted to lead the army to pursue Zhang Liao, but Li Wei shook his head and said that there was no need to pursue.

At this time, send troops to chase Zhang Liao, and the two sides will definitely turn their faces. This time, since Zhang Liao was able to calculate both Li Dao and Yuan Shao, it was enough to prove his strategy and wisdom, and if he wanted to pursue such a person, not only the success rate was very low, but also very dangerous!

Outside Taihang, Zhang Liao led 400 cavalry to ambush nearby for two days, and after confirming that Li Dao did not send troops to pursue, he led his men and horses into the mountains.

Zhang Liao was very worried about the treacherous and changeable Li Dao, so he asked a hundred cavalry to escort Wei Qi and Zhang Fan's family first, and he stayed behind to break the rear.

In case Li Dao really wanted to send troops to pursue, Zhang Liao didn't mind a head-to-head duel between the cavalry near Taihang Cheng, and told the Xiliang army with the actual result who was the first cavalry in the world.
