In the following days, the Huns did not launch an offensive against the checkpoint, but only sent heavy troops to garrison the city of Mayi. Maybe the battle of Chengguan is not their strong point, but the field battle of the plains is.

In the past few days, Fengxian and they have also been repairing their armor strictly, preparing to fight to the death with the Huns as soon as Zhang Yan's soldiers and horses arrive. However, my thoughts are not as good as theirs, I just want to force the Xiongnu to surrender with great might. For whichever side wins, many will die because of it. And this war was not necessary to happen, and neither the officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty nor the Huns should pay the price of their lives for it.

said that Zhang Liao was originally a scholarly family, and his brother Zhang Fan, whose name is Yiwu, is also a person who is both civil and military. The first time we talked, the two of us were very good at talking to him, because our outlook on life and values were relatively close.

I saw that he was talking well, and I couldn't help but wonder why he kept idle, so I asked: "Brother Yiwu, I think you are quite talented, why don't you go to the government to get an errand like your brother?" ”

Zhang Pan smiled and said: "Panbiotic is free and uninhibited, and does not like the constraints of etiquette and law, so he has been idle at home and lives a life like a ranger." ”

Looking at him, it looks like he is studying Lao Zhuang's theory.

At this time, Feng Xian couldn't help but say: "Like this, your ability can be regarded as a waste." ”

Zhang Pan said: "Learning skills is just to earn food, as long as you don't starve to death, it's not the same to do any errands, as long as you don't do evil." ”

I nodded and said, "Well, that's true, as long as you don't do bad things, you can do whatever you want." ”

At this moment, in addition to Zhang Liao, there was also a man sitting next to Zhang Fan. He looked to be in his early twenties, dressed in a samurai suit, with a grim face and five short guns stuck in his back, and at first glance he looked like a withdrawn and taciturn man. At this moment, a spear stood next to the pillar beside him, with two rows of angular serrations on the head. I can't help but feel a little strange, was there such a spear with a serrated blade in the Han Dynasty? The shape of this gun is relatively close to that of the crutched gun, but the body of the gun is still the kind with a pointed tail, not as good as the crutched tail of the crutch gun.

I couldn't help but ask with some curiosity: "I don't know what this brother is called, why does he always sit without saying a word?" ”

He looked at me and said, "Zhang Xiao, the word Fengyu." ”

His expression was still cold, and his voice was as light as cold air, without the slightest emotion. If you were an ordinary person, you would definitely feel extremely uncomfortable with his cold expression.

At this time, Zhang Liao on the side suddenly said: "Oh, Feng Yu is an orphan adopted by his father, who has been studying art in Kunlun Mountain earlier, and has only recently returned from his studies; He has always had this temperament, and if there is anything inferior, I hope that Brother Cheng Lian will not be surprised. ”

I smiled and said, "It's okay, he has a lot of personality and looks pretty good; By the way, I look very special with your spear, what kind of gun is it? ”

He said: "The curved spear, the name of the overlord breaks the city." ”

"Overlord? Could it be that this gun is the weapon used by the legendary overlord of Western Chu? At this time, Feng Xian suddenly asked curiously.

"That's just a legend." He said.

Heh, I can't see that the origin of this gun is not small, but why did Xiang Yu use a gun?

So I couldn't help asking: "Didn't Xiang Yu use a halberd, why did he switch to a spear?" ”

He said, "Who said that?" ”

I was stunned and couldn't help but say, "Oh, I think so, don't I?" ”

He said: "Of course not, the gun and the halberd are both long soldiers that Xiang Ji likes, and it is rumored that he also has a long halberd, known as the Overlord to Destroy Qin." ”

Uh, well, the name of a good image.

I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Forgive me for being so unheard, I don't usually know much about magical legends like this. ”

At this time, Zhang Fan smiled and said: "Don't worry, if Brother Cheng Lian likes to listen to these ancient legends, just talk about it to you." ”

I couldn't help but say, "Okay, I heard that Han Gaozu had a sword in his hand, which he used to kill the white snake back then; It is said that this sword is extremely sharp, but I don't know what it looks like. ”

Zhang Pan said: "The sword used by Gaozu is called Chixiao because of its red body and frosty blades; It is said that when Gaozu was young, he visited Zhongnan Mountain and accidentally obtained a piece of divine iron, so he invited a craftsman to forge a sword for him; However, this iron is so hard that it took a craftsman twelve years to cast it; Since the death of Gao Zu, the Chixiao Sword has been buried with him. ”

I couldn't help but be a little surprised, but asked, "These legends shouldn't be true, right?" ”

Zhang Pan couldn't help but smile and said, "This sword has its own, but it is not as mysterious as the legend." ”

At this time, Feng Xian couldn't help but nod and said: "Well, yes, the so-called divine weapons in ancient times were mostly made of fine iron, and compared to sharpness, they were not as good as the big knife made by Zhang Liao." ”

Zhang Liao nodded and agreed: "Well, that's right. ”

I said, "That's true, the smelting level in ancient times is definitely not as good as now; Those so-called divine weapons are only relative to other weapons at that time, and they are definitely not comparable with the weapons we use now. ”

They couldn't help but smile when I said that. Zhang Pan said again: "Brother Cheng Lian is really a transparent person. ”

I smiled and said, "Each other." ”

After waiting for a few days, Zhang Yan's soldiers and horses finally arrived. Due to the large number of people, they split into two lines. The cavalry set out from Changshan Zhending, went west to Taiyuan, and then went north to reach Yanmen Pass; The infantry set out from Zhongshan and divided into two groups through Lingqiu County, one went south to Yanmen Pass, and the other went north to attack Lao County.

Zhang Yan came to help in the battle, and Ding Yuan and the others naturally had to go to greet him, otherwise they would lose their manners. However, Zhang Yan didn't care about this, but came to Loufu City in person, saying that she couldn't wait to meet me, my future brother-in-law. It's a bit of a mess for me. Then, Ding Yuan held a banquet in Loufu City to entertain Zhang Yan and others.

Ding Yuan couldn't help but smile and said: "Thanks to General Zhang's help, this assassin is grateful." ”

Zhang Yan couldn't help but say: "Hey, please don't misunderstand Ding Tingshi, I will come to help the war this time, but it's just for the sake of my sister-in-law's future husband, thank him if you want to thank him." ”

Ding Yuan couldn't help but smile and said, "What General Zhang said is very true; Young strong man, the words of this assassin history were a little inferior before, please don't be surprised. ”

After this defeat, Ding Yuan's previous sharpness has been reined in a lot, which is a good thing. It's just that whether he will die in the future at the hands of the ancestors, it's hard to say for the time being.

I smiled and said, "It's okay, I don't care about the past anymore." ”

At this time, Zhang Yan on the side suddenly smiled: "Haha, I can't see that I, the future sister-in-law, is quite generous, and I look like a talent; Okay, the righteous sister finally didn't see the wrong person. ”

Alas, looking at his appearance, it's really hard to get rid of this matter! I smiled slightly and said, "General Zhang has won the award." ”

General Zhang couldn't help but say: "Hey, why is my sister-in-law still seeing me like this, it's all my own family, and you will call me my brother-in-law with your sister-in-law in the future." ”

I said, "Let's wait until I discuss this matter with Zhang Jing." ”

Zhang Yan was puzzled: "Discuss? What else is there to discuss? ”

I couldn't help but say, "General Zhang, to be honest, I'm not actually the person Zhang Jing has been looking for; However, if she insists on being with me, I can also consider having a relationship with her. ”

"Consider?" Zhang Yan couldn't help but change her face, but she looked a little unhappy and said: "What else is there to consider, if it weren't for the righteous sister who has been looking for you for ten years, she would have been married a long time ago; Okay, this matter is settled, and when the war is over, Ben will marry the two of you. ”

I couldn't help but smile a little bitterly in my heart, and finally realized the pain of political marriage. At this time, if I refuse, it will inevitably cause Zhang Yan's dissatisfaction, if he is angry and withdraws his troops and horses, it will be more than worth the loss for the side of the state army. Originally, I didn't have to sacrifice my marriage, but I couldn't watch this war continue, causing human lives and people to suffer.

Maybe I should be more open-minded and learn from the famous saying of the capital world - everything is capital, and in order to pursue success, everything can become capital in the hand. But I'm not a capitalist, and I'm not pursuing profits, so why should I treat my marriage as capital? It just doesn't make sense.

At this moment, perhaps we should understand a truth - when we are faced with an unusually contradictory answer to a problem, then either the nature of the problem itself is unreasonable, or the rules given by the person who formulated the question are unreasonable. Therefore, no matter which answer you choose, it is both wrong and true. Because, at this time, there is no standard principle for judging what is right or wrong in itself.
