25 Death in Hanoi
"It's good, but you just go with me, and you can't be lazy and forget to practice the five fowl opera every day." Wen Yuan thought for a while and said, considering that Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan would continue to fight for a long time, there should be nothing major in this period, so Wen Yuan agreed to Guo Jia.
Wen Yuan replied like this, Guo Jia's face was bitter, and he seemed to regret it.
mentioned Hua Tuo's five-bird play, Wen Yuan suddenly thought of something and whispered to Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu was stunned, seeing that Wen Yuan was very serious, Zhang Yu scratched his head and walked out in surprise.
Seeing that the people who should be explained have already been explained, Wen Yuan immediately ordered people to go down to prepare, and set off three days later, this trip Wen Yuan planned to only take Guo Jia, Cui Yan, Wang Li, Zhou Cang and others, and another fifty Xuan Yingwei escorts, after all, it was to enter Beijing to face the saint, and there were more people to swagger all the way, but it attracted people's attention.
Just came back and was about to leave again, Wen Yuan's heart was full of shame for Ning Er, and the warmth lingered all night, Ning Er snuggled in Wen Yuan's arms, full of affection.
As for Fan's family, because he was in a hurry, Wen Yuan only took the time to whisper a few words with Fan in the past three days, perhaps because of long-term longing, Fan's intimate behavior was no longer so resistant, Wen Yuan was in a good mood, maybe next time he had more time, and found a chance to do Fan's family, so as to relieve Fan's longing pain.
On the first day of the first month of March, Wen Yuan and his entourage of fifty or sixty people embarked on a new journey again, but this time it was no longer to lead troops to the battle, but to Chang'an, the highest power center of the Han Empire, to meet the nominal supreme ruler of today, Emperor Xian of Han.
Before leaving, Zhang Yu sent Wen Yuan a package of mysterious things, and when he got this thing, Wen Yuan's face was embarrassed, and Zhang Yu's face was also more puzzled, how much he wondered.
Since it is to meet the Son of Heaven, gifts are naturally indispensable, the jade seal of the country is received by Cui Yan, Wen Yuan arranged twelve henchmen Xuanying guards to guard day and night, in addition, Wen Yuan also put on several carts of valuable gifts, and the remaining guards are responsible for escorting.
When I arrived at the city gate, there was already a caravan of the Zhen family waiting there, and now the Zhen family chamber of commerce has gradually moved the family's property to the city of Gauntlet, almost every few days, a large-scale caravan will be sent from here to all parts of the Han Dynasty, but to Wen Yuan's surprise, Zhen Yan is also in the caravan today, and the porter guards of this caravan have reached three hundred!
Seeing Wenyuan, Zhen Yan hurriedly stepped forward to greet him attentively, coincidentally, the caravan was also going to Guanzhong this time, and the Zhen Family Chamber of Commerce had business all over the Central Plains of Hebei, but the Guanzhong market had not yet been developed, so Zhen Yan attached great importance to it this time and decided to go out in person.
The two teams immediately formed a team, with the cover of the Zhen Family Chamber of Commerce, Wen Yuan's heart was even more certain, and a group of nearly 400 people drove more than 200 cars to the southeast.
This time into Beijing, Wenyuan's route is from Julu to the south, through Wei County, Hanoi into Luo, tracing the big river, crossing the river from Hedong County, through Hangu Pass into the land of Guanzhong, on the way, Hanoi has a road Zhang Yang escort, and with the name of the Son of Heaven, into Dong Zhuo's sphere of influence, should also be safe.
In addition, this road is flat, and Wen Yuan and his party have many cars and horses, and they should arrive in Chang'an within a month.
Wen Yuan rode a horse with Zhen Yan all the way, Zhen Yan was very measured and half a horse behind Wen Yuan, and now the rise and fall of the Zhen family can be said to be on Wen Yuan, so Zhen Yan can't be careless.
From Wen Yuan's mouth, I learned that although there were less than 200 cars driving with the car this time, they were loaded with paper, books, and giant deer specialties such as Zheng Gongjiu, although the number was not much, but it was worth 10,000 gold. With such a loud voice, Zhen Yan must not be cautious.
After doing this for three or five days, seeing that he was about to enter the front of the border of the Black Interior, suddenly there was a noise on the high slopes on both sides, and countless robbers rushed down all over the mountains.
Wen Yuan frowned slightly, seeing that the black mountain thieves were all over the mountains, he was afraid that there were not two or three thousand people, and it was not easy to return the three or four hundred people in his hand.
However, at this time, the Black Mountain thieves have been much worse than before, since the first year of Chuping (190 years), this Black Mountain Thieves have plundered Jizhou and Dongjun three times, and returned three times. The previous defeat was at the hands of Wen Yuan, and the last two times were defeated by Cao Cao. The defeat of three consecutive years has greatly reduced this black mountain bandit, and the Hanoi black mountain bandits, who once sent 300,000 troops at every turn and changed the color of the world's heroes, have now been reduced to second-rate.
Wen Yuan looked carefully, sure enough, these black mountain thieves were all ragged, with yellow faces and thin muscles, saying that they were thieves, it was better to describe them as a group of beggars, Wen Yuan looked at it, and felt a sour feeling in his heart, this damn troubled world has achieved one hero after another with a bright image, but it is the lowly toiling people who cry.
"My lord, let's step forward and make a big deal later, I can't delay my efforts." Zhen Yan confidently bowed his hand to Wenyuan and stepped forward.
The Zhen family chamber of commerce goes south and north, such a situation is often encountered, this kind of thing he naturally copes with with ease, under normal circumstances, he will give generous gifts to the leaders of each mountain every year, so that there will be a response when passing in the future, Hanoi is such a traffic throat, and the black mountain thieves are strong, and it is impossible for the Zhen family not to send offerings every year.
Of course, if it was a weak thief, the Zhen family would not pay attention to it at all, and the private soldiers accompanying the caravan alone were enough for those small groups of strongmen to be discouraged.
Wen Yuan quietly watched Zhen Yan step forward to negotiate with the thief, but it seemed that the negotiation was not successful, and the Montenegrin thief seemed to have put forward some harsh conditions, which made Zhen Yan's voice higher and higher, and he flicked his robe sleeves angrily several times, and the leading Montenegrin general refused to give way!
Seeing that half an hour had passed and there was still no negotiation, Wen Yuan frowned and stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Zhen Yan said with a ashamed face: "Zhen Yan is incompetent, this black mountain thief is in the Ministry of Drugs, just lost to Cao Mengde of Dongjun a few days ago, and now there is a shortage of food in the camp, so I have to leave half of the car to drive, it is really not trustworthy!" ”
"Yu Poison?" Wen Yuan lowered his head and groaned, stepped forward and came to the Black Mountain Thief Formation, and shouted: "Where is your family Yu Poison Commander, can you still know the giant deer Zhang Liaohu?" ”
"Zhang Liao!" The leading black mountain thief looked at Wen Yuan and felt familiar, and suddenly heard this, and couldn't help but change his complexion, just like seeing a cat and a mouse, and the thieves behind him were also in a commotion.
Zhang Liao, the Zhang Liao who defeated tens of thousands of Black Mountain with three hundred iron armor under Guangnian City, and the Zhang Liao who made the Black Mountain thieves tremble when they heard the name of the giant deer, is now standing here!
