Chapter 4: General Zhang He

Chen Nuo knew that sooner or later he would be killed by the oilcloth wrapped around his waist, and he was not guilty, but he was guilty.

The soldiers retrieved the package from him and immediately handed it to the military attache on horseback.

The military attache opened the oilcloth package and looked at it, his face changed, and he immediately waved him away along with the surname Sun.

They were brought to the yamen and then divided into separate detainers.

Wait, long wait.

After some time, the door was suddenly pushed open, and two soldiers walked in. Without saying a word to Chen Nuo, they led him to a carriage and forcibly put him in the carriage.

Chen Nuo really didn't know where they were going to take him, and asked three or four times, and the soldier in charge of escorting him told him very reluctantly: "Ah, don't ask again, just because of your package, General Zhang wants to see you by name." ”

"General Zhang?"

Chen Nuo immediately asked, "Which General Zhang?" ”

The soldier gave him a blank look, and said impatiently: "You don't know General Zhang He? ”

"Zhang He?"

Chen Nuo's eyes lit up, have you ever heard of Zhang He's name?

Zhang He, one of the five good generals of Cao Wei, needless to say, is very good at strategy, and has caused Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition to be frustrated several times.

However, Zhang He summoned a lowly post envoy as a mere general, which really made Chen Nuo puzzled.

The soldier saw that Chen Nuo stopped talking, but said that he really hadn't heard it, and gave him a big white look.

It was almost midnight when he arrived at Zhang's mansion, but Zhang He had been waiting, and when he heard Chen Nuo coming, he immediately came to see him.

Zhang He was recruited as a state and county soldier during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he worshiped Sima with military merits and belonged to Han Fu.

When Chen Nuo saw him, he was not dressed as a military general wearing armor and a saber hanging from his waist as he imagined, but he was just dressed in Confucian clothes.

If Chen Nuo hadn't already understood him, he would have thought that the dignified general would be so bookish and angry when he wore Confucian clothes. But it's okay, so that they don't seem so restrained.

When Zhang He saw Chen Nuo, he didn't have the slightest pretense, and asked: "General Zhao Fu Zhao is still stationed in Heyang now?" ”

Chen Nuo suddenly remembered that as an envoy, he was ordered by his top boss Du Du Zhao Fu to submit urgent documents to the governor Han Fu.

He also relied on the memory of the owner of the body, nodded and replied: "Yes!" ”

"Okay."

Zhang He then asked: "General Zhao and the others have heard rumors from outside, and they want to use words to dissuade Han Fu and Han envoys, so that the envoys can't easily give Jizhou to Yuan Shao?" ”

Chen Nuo thought hard, as if there was such a thing.

Here's what happened.

First, Yuan Shao conspired with He Jin to get rid of the eunuchs, but the Queen Mother did not agree. Yuan Shao gave He Jin the idea to summon the princes of the Eighth Route as a general, and Dong Zhuo was one of them, wanting to coerce the Queen Mother.

It's a pity that Dong Zhuo hasn't entered Beijing yet, and He Jin was killed by the eunuchs first. When Dong Zhuo abolished the emperor as the king of Hongnong and re-established the emperor, Yuan Shao died and left Jizhou. Dong Zhuo was afraid of the prestige of the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family, and gave him an official who was too guarded by Bohai.

Yuan Shao raised troops in the Bohai Sea and joined the princes to crusade against Dong Zhuo. Yuan Shao was in charge of the alliance, and discussed with Jizhou Mu Han Fu, wanting to establish Youzhou Mu Liu Yu as the emperor. Liu Yu is not stupid, this puppet can not be a puppet. Refuse.

After the alliance of the princes failed, Han Fu stationed his army in a place called Anping, which was attacked and defeated by Gongsun Zhan. Gongsun Zhan marched into Jizhou in the name of crusading against Dong Zhuo, but he actually wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Han Fu and occupy his territory by himself.

At this time, Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang and drove the emperor to Chang'an along with the civil and military officials, and Yuan Shao did not continue what the alliance leader should do, but retreated east to Yanjin and stationed his army on the bank of the Yellow River.

Jizhou has a large territory, Gongsun Zan wants it, and Yuan Shao also wants it.

Yuan Shao's adviser gave Yuan Shao an idea and asked him to write a letter to Han Fu, saying that Gongsun Chan is a tiger, you can't settle it, it is better to give Jizhou to General Yuan, and let General Yuan deal with Gongsun Zhan. After General Yuan got Jizhou, he must be grateful for his kindness, firstly, he will not treat him badly, and secondly, he will also fight this tiger for him, isn't it for the general to take out this evil breath?

Of course, for Yuan Shao's wishful thinking, he can fool Han Fu, but he can't easily deal with his subordinates.

Because of this incident, Han Fu's subordinates, who were stationed not far from Yuan Shao's territory, were engaged in the rumors of Zhao Fu and others, and immediately wrote a letter to Han Fu and asked Chen Nuo to send it, in order to dissuade Han Fu, afraid that Han Fu would really do such a stupid thing.

Of course, Chen Nuo didn't know the content of Zhao Fu's letter to Han Fu, but judging by the current situation, this should be the case.

Zhang He actually knew that Chen Nuo was a messenger who delivered a letter, and he didn't know much, so he didn't mean to ask him to answer, and continued to speak.

"It's just that although General Zhao and others dissuade him, Han Envoy Jun may not be able to listen to it. If Han Envoy Jun didn't persuade him, and the news was revealed to Yuan Shao, I was afraid that this matter would be even more difficult to handle, and it would be a military disaster.

In my opinion, the current situation is critical, and extraordinary matters should be handled very well, so you go back and tell General Zhao, and say that I, Zhang He, please ask him, whether Han Envoy Jun agrees or not, let General Zhao send troops to the east first. In this way, the heart of the Han envoy can be strengthened, and secondly, Yuan Shao is afraid of General Zhao's men, so he will not dare to mess around. ”

When Chen Nuo heard Zhang He say this, he admired his courage and agreed.

Zhang He returned the oilcloth package to Chen Nuo, prepared to let Chen Nuo fill his stomach first, set off overnight, and said that he would send troops to escort him to Jizhou to meet Han Fu. Chen Nuo first thanked him, and then showed his difficulties, saying that he couldn't leave, and some friends were still being detained by him.

Of course, Zhang He thought of who he was talking about, suddenly changed his face, forced him to look into his eyes, and asked him: "The friend you said, but the one surnamed Sun Mingqing?" ”

It turned out that his name was Sun Qing. Although he saw that Zhang He's face had changed, Chen Nuo still nodded: "It's him." ”

Zhang He turned around and said slowly: "Then do you know that he is the little leader of the Black Mountain bandits!" They took advantage of the chaos in the world, gathered the hungry people, formed a force, and led his gang of bandits to loot the surrounding area, for the sake of the people, I Jizhou want to arrest them is not for a while! ”

So that's it! The bandits and the government were natural mortal enemies.

But he still stuck to his original intention, shook his head and said, "I don't know." All I know is that he's my friend. ”

Zhang Heteng turned around and glared at him angrily: "You are friends with the bandits, aren't you afraid that I will take you down?" ”

Chen Nuo was afraid, but he didn't want to leave Sun Qing alone.

Zhang He seemed to read some kind of unyielding from Chen Nuo's eyes. For this kind of unyielding, Zhang He appreciates it very much.

He suddenly laughed, patted Chen Nuo's shoulder, and said, "Are you willing to be friends with the bandits, but are you willing to be friends with me?" ”

Chen Nuo didn't believe it, he recalled Zhang He's words, he was overjoyed, being able to be friends with Zhang He, that was something he didn't even think about.

He held back his silence and said, "It depends on whether General Zhang can fulfill the friendship between me and the bandits." ”

Zhang He smiled again, waved his hand, and said: "It's not that I don't want to release Sun Qing, it's just that this matter is more important and involves a lot, and I have no right to ask, I have already asked him to escort him to Jizhou Han Envoy overnight." ”

Chen Nuo immediately said: "Then I will leave immediately, go to Jizhou to see Han Envoy, and beg him to release him." ”

Zhang He was also inconvenient to delay him in saving people, so he asked him to prepare some dry food to satisfy his hunger on the road, gave him a carriage, sent two soldiers to escort him, and rushed to Jizhou overnight.

Han Fu's Jizhou Pastoral Mansion is in Ye County, Wei County, not far from Zhang He's station, driving overnight, and arriving at dawn.

Han Fu attaches great importance to the governor of Zhao Fu, he and another general, Cheng Huan, jointly hold a force, they guard Heyang with a strong crossbow and ten thousand zhang, which is a force to be reckoned with. So as soon as his envoy arrived, he immediately asked people to take the book to the exhibition.

After Han Fu glanced at it, his brows tightened, and he couldn't make up his mind, so he had to gather his staff and let them discuss together.

The content of the letter from Zhao Fu and others to Han Fu is nothing more than saying that I recently heard that Han Envoy Jun has the intention of welcoming Yuan Shao, but is there such a thing? first doubted, expressed surprise, and then dissuaded Han Fu, if it is true, but do not dispel this idea, if Jizhou is given to Yuan Shao in vain, and Yuan Shao is cheaper, then it will not make the world laugh off his big teeth?

As a result, Han Fu's staff quarreled endlessly over whether to welcome or not, and even defended it to the death. In the end, the quarrel rose to the point that everyone drew their swords and swords to chop the pillars and chop the wood for the sake of Mingzhi, comparing whose strength was greater and who could bluff whom.

Han Fu looked at the scene, he was so frightened that he waved his sleeves and wiped his sweat, and the staff next to him asked him what was wrong, Han Fu replied refreshingly: "Lonely disease, lonely to go!" ”

The staff were all well-read poetry books, so they naturally immediately understood the meaning of his words.

This sentence comes from Mencius, when Mencius persuaded King Xuan of Qi to practice benevolent government, and King Xuan of Qi prevaricated with "the widow is sick, and the widow is lustful". Han Fu's sentence is a simplified version of King Qi Xuan, but it is somewhat obscure, not as explicit as King Qi Xuan.

Hearing Han Fu say this, the staff were chilled. Oh, it's good for you to fight for your interests for a long time, but what you think about is a woman.

Since everyone knew it, Han Fu took the opportunity to slip off the stage and hide in the toilet. squatted in the toilet for a long time, and was finally dragged out by his concubines.

They heard Han Fu's sentence "lonely and sick", and they spent a lot of effort to dress up for this sentence, hoping to share their worries for adults. I only waited for a long time and didn't see anyone, and after asking, I realized that Han Fu was hiding in the toilet as soon as he slipped out.

What is the matter, this is not, as soon as they heard about it, they immediately stuck to it again.

Han Fu looked tired, seeing them at this time can be said to be as scared as a tiger, and he didn't know what to think of to get rid of them, but fortunately, the opportunity came at this time, it turned out that it was Chen Nuo, the messenger who sent the letter, asked to see him.

If he was left in normal times and let him see a lowly soldier, he would not want to refuse directly. But this time it was different, just to send this group of hungry tigers away, and said to the visitor, "Go and call him in." ”
