Chapter Forty-Nine: The Mountain Rain Is Coming II

Early the next morning, Zhang Wei took Xiao Ming and returned to Chenliu with Dian Wei. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

There was no need to escort the goods on this return trip, so all the staff traveled lightly, riding the horses given by Cao Cao, and returned to Chenliu in only half a day.

As soon as everyone walked out of the dense forest, they saw that the ankle-free grass in front of Chen Liucheng was completely gone, replaced by a black and scorched earth, dozens of soldiers wrapped their faces in linen, showing only a pair of eyes, were turning over something on the scorched earth with forks and shovels, and occasionally scooped up a pile of dark things and threw them on the ox cart.

Dian Wei felt strange in his heart, and hurriedly stopped a soldier and asked, "What's wrong?" What's going on here? Could it be that the Yellow Turban Thief is coming? ”

Although Dian Wei did not have a high position in the army, he was quite famous, and the soldier recognized him at a glance, and said in a low voice: "General Dian Wei, there were more than 10,000 sick people gathered outside the city in Chen Liu, and all of them died of illness half a month ago, and the county guard was afraid that the evil disease would spread to the city and hurt the innocent, so he set fire to all these corpses!" If there is still some that is not burned, we will have to transport it! Alas, if you don't need Wenhou's troops, you have to use our personal guards, it's really..."

Dian Wei's eyes lit up when he heard Wen Hou, and then he remembered that there was still a duel that had not been fought before, but it was a pity that his fighting spirit had not yet recovered, and when he was recuperating, he must find Lu Bu to fight the winner.

Zhang Wei looked at the charred corpses all over the ground, thinking of the tragic situation of Cao Ang's guards after dying of a vicious disease in the Drunken Immortal Building, he was shocked in his heart, these are just innocent people, and there are even underage children, they suffered from evil diseases in their lives, but they were burned by fire after death, and finally abandoned their corpses in the wilderness, and all of this is due to the True Heavenly Sect!

He remembered that Yun'er had been coerced by the True Heaven Sect to marry someone else, and he only gritted his teeth with hatred: Yu Fu, you are waiting in Shouchun, and we will count the new and old grudges together!

Zhang Wei sighed in his heart, and Xiao Ming was so frightened by the scene in front of him that his face turned pale, and he sat on the horse, not squinting. I just want to enter the city early.

Zhang Cong, the chief bookkeeper, had already received the news, greeted everyone at the gate of the city with a smile, and introduced Zhang Wei and Dian Wei to the county guard's mansion.

The house was already full of people, talking and laughing to themselves. The atmosphere was warm.

Zhang Miao sat in the main seat, Lu Bu sat on the right, and the position on the left was vacant, obviously reserved for Zhang Wei, and the other positions were full of people. All of them are sturdy and seem to be people in the army, Zhang Miao is still worried about Dian Wei's collision with Lu Bu before departure, so he arranged Dian Wei to the last seat.

Zhang Wei wanted to invite Dian Wei to sit with him, but because he was a guest, he was not good at taking the lead, so he had to give up.

After he sat down, Zhang Miao raised his hands high and struck his palms three times loudly. Suddenly, the pipes and music sounded in unison, and the maids and maids of the family carried all kinds of dishes to the banquet room one by one, and there were maidservants standing left and right, adding wine to the guests from time to time.

After the dishes were ready, Zhang Miao raised the wine cup and said: "This time, Zhang Gongzi sent an envoy to Puyang, defeated the Yellow Turban thief, and pacified a big disaster in Yanzhou, which is really a blessing for the people, let's pay tribute to Zhang Gongzi together!" ”

Zhang Wei hurriedly waved his hand. Naturally, it is impossible to count all the credit on their own heads, but before the words were spoken, everyone had already dried up the wine, helpless. I had to follow it, this time the wine was completely different from the last time, it smelled very mellow, but the entrance was extremely spicy, Zhang Wei hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of food and pressed it.

Only this will be the effort. Zhang Miao said loudly: "Today's wine and food are enough, everyone will not return if they are not drunk!" As he spoke, he slapped his palms twice, and in an instant, the music rang out in unison, and a group of courtesans walked around in front of the crowd with their dancing steps, and their graceful posture only made everyone's eyes straight, and then they returned to the arena and danced.

The crowd cheered, cheered, and laughed endlessly, and the whole hall was full of people, which was in stark contrast to the simple but orderly scene of Cao Cao's family banquet.

Zhang Miao drank a few more glasses, his face turned slightly red, and then he beckoned to Zhang Wei, called him over, and said in his ear: "The virtuous nephew has done Cao Mengde a great favor this time, I don't know what kind of official position he promised you?" ”

Zhang Wei smiled and said: "General Cao is not allowed to be in the next official position, not to mention that he is used to being casual in the next, and he has to be restrained by others as an official, and he doesn't like it!" ”

Zhang Miao glanced at Zhang Wei and said curiously: "Who in this world doesn't want to be an official?" If you become an official, you can be exempted from labor and military service, and if you do it big, you can even be hereditary, but the virtuous nephew sees it like this, which is really unusual! ”

Zhang Wei pursed his lips and smiled, which was a response.

Zhang Miao asked again: "This time the virtuous nephew gave a gift to Cao Cao, I don't know how he reacted?" Have you ever mentioned Yuan Shaoyun? ”

Zhang Wei knew that Zhang Miao and Yuan Shao had a gap, and hurriedly relieved: "General Cao is naturally very satisfied with the gift, and talked about Brother Meng Zhuo and he are old friends, and mentioned some old things, as for Yuan Shao, he didn't mention a word!" ”

Zhang Wei thought that when he said this, Zhang Miao would definitely be able to understand it, but he sighed and said: "The virtuous nephew doesn't know, today I found out the news, Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zhan, and his morale is booming, but at this time he sent a messenger to see Cao Cao, just afraid that there is a plan!" ”

Zhang Wei said with a smile: "Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are allies, so why is it strange that the envoys come and go?" ”

Zhang Miao killed a glass of liquor, waved away the maid beside him, and said, "If it weren't for the fact that my nephew is a straightforward man, I'm afraid that I would also suspect that you would turn to Cao Cao at this time!" Others don't know the intention of Yuan Shao's envoy, how can I not know? Yuan Shao complained that I took Han Fu in, so he asked Cao Mengde to kill me! ”

Han Fu was originally a pastor in Youzhou, but because of his cowardly nature, he was finally deceived by Yuan Shao into Youzhou, he was afraid that Yuan Shao would kill him, so he brought his family to Chen Liu and defected to Zhang Miao.

Zhang Wei was taken aback: "If this is really the case, how did Brother Meng Zhuo know about it?" ”

Zhang Miao smiled miserably and said, "Cao Mengde has only been in the army for a few years? Naturally, I don't have deep roots in Yanzhou! If Cao Mengde told you about this, it would mean that he had no intention of killing me, but he knew that you were my nephew, but he didn't say a word, it only means that he had already moved to kill me! The reason why I haven't done it yet is just waiting for an opportunity to find a suitable excuse to get rid of me! ”

Zhang Wei thought for a while and persuaded: "Brother Meng Zhuo is too worried, Cao Cao has just taken charge of Yanzhou, and he needs to win the hearts of the people, how can he fight each other?" Since Brother Meng Zhuo has this doubt, he might as well say it directly, now that Cao Cao is preparing to go to Xuzhou, he has sent an envoy to make peace with Liang State, and now he still relies on Brother Meng Zhuo to guard the gateway to Yuzhou, how can he have murderous intentions towards you? Wouldn't that be a self-cutting arm? ”

Zhang Miao knew that Zhang Wei was quite scheming, and when he saw that he said so, he was not stubborn, so he had to say stupidly: "I listen to the words of the virtuous nephew, and I hope that Cao Mengde will not make a chilling move!" (To be continued.) )
