Zhang Yanjun looked at Xiao Ling with a surprised expression, and his heart was very shocked. From Jinzhou to Shuozhou, these days of getting along day and night, he also has a deep understanding of Xiao Ling, and knows that under the cold surface of this young man, he is an extremely proud heart. Now he takes the initiative to kneel down for himself, which shows the great charm of Happy Personality and the high status in his heart.

It is true that as Happy said, today's Qi country has reached a precarious point, and it can't be rotten anymore, if no one stands up, then what awaits it can only be a downfall. Thinking back to the past, learning the learning of Confucius and Mencius, the way of the sages, isn't it to be able to do something for the common people while glorifying the ancestors? It's just that decades have passed, and the years have passed, but I still haven't achieved anything, and I'm doing nothing.

"Lord Zhang, Daqi is not only the Great Qi of the Gao family, but also the Great Qi of the people of the world. How many people will be ruined and displaced under the flames of war? "My lord, although Yu Wenyong is eloquent and strategic, he loves the people like a son, but after all, he is just a Sinicized Hu people, if he continues to let the Xianbei people rule the Central Plains, how many treasures can be left behind by the ancestors' hard work, and how can the nation continue? Do you want to watch hundreds of people fall in agony in front of you for the sake of your so-called honor, your so-called reserve?! ”

He looked at Zhang Yanjun with red eyes and shouted hoarsely. At this moment, I was very happy to hate Kong Meng's way of loyalty. It is because of this that many capable people with lofty ideals suppress their own hearts and do things that make people feel heartbroken, but they are helpless.

Fu Fu is like this, Zhang Yanjun is like this, Dugu Yongye is like this, and even Gao Changgong is like this, not so much that they are foolish and loyal to the faint king, but that they are sticking to the faith in their hearts, which makes people respect and hate.

Zhang Yanjun's complexion is like a cloud on the horizon, changing and uncertain. Every word of joy was like a morning bell and a dusk drum beating on his heart, making him feel a kind of awakening and empowerment, and his whole body trembled slightly.

What is your life's pursuit? Is it just to be submissive in front of the faint monarch and ministers, and sigh silently when no one is around? Could it be that he has studied hard for decades, just to be a private school teacher in the countryside to teach people to read and write, and work all his life? Could it be that all that was once a bold ambition is now a lock of decadent beard on the chin?

These thoughts flashed in Zhang Yanjun's mind, the confusion and depression in his heart disappeared in an instant, looking at the excitement and indignation, and couldn't help but be happy, Zhang Yanjun suddenly knelt on the ground, and said respectfully and resolutely: "Zhang Yanjun is grateful to the adults who will not give up, and is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses, and will never give up from now on!" ”

Joy was first stunned, then ecstatic, "Okay, good! Happy stepped forward to help Zhang Yanjun up, his voice trembled a little, and he said with emotion: "I have Master Zhang, like a fish in water!" ”

"Adults praise falsely, Zhang Yanjun is ashamed!" Zhang Yanjun did not have the slightest arrogance on his face, only humility and respect. Now that he has made up his mind, he will naturally put himself in the right position.

After speaking, Zhang Yanjun turned around again, half-squatted, grabbed Xiao Ling's arm with both hands, looked at Xiao Ling sincerely, and said with a gentle smile on his face: "Lord Xiao, please get up quickly!" In the future, you and I will work together, and let the previous misunderstanding go with the wind! As he spoke, Zhang Yanjun pulled Xiao Ling up with both hands.

"As long as Master Zhang doesn't blame you, the people of Shuozhou still need you to appease more!" The corners of Xiao Ling's mouth twitched slightly, although there was no obvious smile, his mood finally improved a lot. Especially when he speaks and does things, he knows how to advance and retreat, and takes into account the overall situation, which is his greatest progress, and now he is no longer the killer who only knows how to kill people with a knife, but a killer who is in charge alone.

Zhang Yanjun and Xiao Ling's movements were happy to see in their eyes and happy in their hearts. No one really wants their men to fight endlessly, and that would make a difference.

The ancients said: "A saint for a thousand years, Judan twilight; Five hundred years of a sage, more than a heart. It can be seen that the rarity of a wise person.

Yan Zhitui, a famous writer during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, once wrote "Yan's Family Motto", in which Mu Xian's seventh article once commented on Zhang Yanjun.

Zhang Yanjunzhi is the Zuo Cheng of Jinzhou Xingtai, the chief general of Kuang Wei, the town of Jiang, the accumulation device, the love of the people, and the hidden enemy. The group is not allowed to do it, and they move together; After the generation, public and private disturbances, Zhou Shi in one fell swoop, and this town was peaceful. The traces of Qi death are revealed.

The reason why Xingxing values Zhang Yanjun so much is precisely this reason. With Zhang Yanjun's talent, he will definitely be able to guard the rear for him, so that he can concentrate on dealing with Yu Wenyong. Now, Chen Guo and Sima Fu are fighting endlessly, unable to look north, as long as the operation is done properly, the Northern Qi has a great possibility of turning defeat into victory, and he is happy to be able to lay his own position and foundation for hegemony in one fell swoop.

Zhang Yanjun was immediately happily appointed as Sima of Shuozhou, but in fact, he was in charge of the assassination of history. In this regard, Zhang Yanjun was flattered. Thinking about the past in Jinju, he was squeezed and suppressed by the three noble house slaves and courtiers everywhere, but now he is happy but he is entrusted with a heavy responsibility, which is no different from heaven and earth.

Every year of this grade, Zhang Yanjun warned himself in his heart that he must do his best to protect Shuozhou for happiness, and not let the Turks go south half a step. Although this is an extremely difficult task, Zhang Yanjun is unswerving. Fortunately, I am happy to be in Shuozhou for two months, and the situation in Shuozhou has improved greatly. Otherwise, even if Zhang Yanjun is full of wisdom, in the face of this chaotic crisis situation, he is afraid that he will frown and lament.

……

"My lord, General Qin and General Fu have arrived!" On September 18, Gao Xing was handing over official duties to Zhang Yanjun, and Zhang Shunzhi's somewhat excited voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

After a pause in the movement in his hand, he suddenly got up, and said with some excitement: "Hurry up, please!" As he spoke, he happily put down the file in his hand and said to Zhang Yanjun: "Lord Zhang, please wait a moment, you will come to this mansion!" ”

"The two generals came from afar, and the lower officials should go with the adults to greet them!" Zhang Yanjun said and quickly stood up, tidied up his clothes, and walked out of the door with happy steps.

A flash of approval flashed in his happy eyes, and he nodded slightly, no longer hesitated, and strode out the door.

"The last general will see Qin Qiong (Fu Fu) and see the general!" As soon as I went out, two loud voices came.

"Hahahaha!" Laughing happily, he stepped forward to help Qin Shubao and Fu Fu up, and said gently: "Two brothers, please get up quickly, you have had a good time all the way!" ”

Qin Qiong and Fu Fu were humble for a while. Compared with before, Qin Shubao has matured a lot, his body has become more and more tall and strong, the knotted muscles have supported the chain mail on his body to the full, and the momentum on his body has become more and more calm and solemn, and the whole person is like a sharp sword out of the sheath, extremely sharp.

Since serving as the commander of the cavalry division, Qin Qiong has experienced many wars. was first sent by Xing Xing to Jingzhou to attack Chen * Jun Huang Faqu, and later fought with Dugu Yongye in Yanzhou. The wars, large and small, have made Qin Qiong grow and mature rapidly, and now he is even more in charge, and the cavalry under his command has also become a rare elite in the hands of Xingxing.

Compared with Qin Qiong, Fu Fu is more stable and introverted. Compared to a few months ago, he was much more respectful and gentle in his attitude towards joy. Shedding the fetters of his body, in the past few months of Xinghua, he has a deeper feeling for the suffering of the people, and he is even more admired and admired for the joy.

"Are you really General Fu Fu? Didn't you defect, could it be ......" Zhang Yanjun looked at Fu Fu with a surprised look on his face and asked hesitantly.

"As you think!" said with a happy smile: "General Fu, this is Lord Zhang Yanjun, who once served as the Zuocheng of Xingtai in Jinzhou, and now serves as Sima of Shuozhou." Lord Zhang, this is General Fu Fu, the governor of the capital, and he is also the commander I found to be in charge of the Shuozhou soldiers and horses. ”

"Fu Fu has seen Master Zhang! I have long heard that Lord Zhang is loyal and upright, hardworking and agile, and I am very fortunate to see it today! Fu Fuhu's eyes lit up, and he had also heard Zhang Yanjun's name. As he spoke, he saluted solemnly.

"General Fu is polite, your name is like thunder to me! Compared to you, my exploits are really not worth mentioning. Zhang Yanjun cleaned up his mood and respectfully returned the salute to Fu Fu.

Xing Xing made introductions to Qin Qiong and Zhang Yanjun again, and after the two of them met the ceremony, they took the three of them into the banquet hall. After a few simple greetings, the banquet was presented to the table, and the three of them sat down separately, happily raised the wine in front of them, and looked at the three of them with a smile: "Everyone, from today onwards, I will hand over the 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Shuozhou City to you, I hope you can work together, and you must not let the Turks go south half a step!" This first glass of wine, I salute you! As he spoke, he looked up happily and drank the wine in his cup.

"Don't worry, I will do my best!" The three of them looked at each other firmly and said happily.

"Good, good! With three people to help me, why worry about big things?! ”

……

While happily drinking with Qin Qiong and the others, the Ande Mansion in Jinyang City also welcomed a mysterious guest.

The person who came was a young man, thirteen or fourteen years old, and his appearance was very delicate. Although this person is dressed as a man, King Ande, who has read countless women, can still see at a glance that this young man is actually a daughter. The girl's beauty made Gao Yanzong quite excited, but her identity made Gao Yanzong deeply jealous, so he could only bury that thought deep in his heart.

"Lord Wang, Emperor Yuwen of Zhou sent 300,000 troops to attack, and he will arrive in Jinzhou in a few days, do you know?" The woman's voice was crisp and pleasant, but the faint tone and the news revealed in her words made Gao Yanzong jump in shock and suddenly change color.

"What?!"

"Yuwen Yong is here, and the prince's chance is also here!" The woman's face was very calm, but her eyes were so deep and wise that they did not match her age at all.

"Opportunity?" Gao Yanzong was stunned and confused.

The woman smiled lightly, and suddenly it was like ice and snow melting, and everything was spring, which made Gao Yanzong stunned. A trace of disdain and pride flashed in the woman's eyes, but she said lightly: "Yes, the long-awaited opportunity has arrived!" ”
