Volume 2: Si Li's Lieutenant Department Chapter 3: Hanoi Zhang Yang
Hanoi guarded Zhang Yang, and when the princes were in the alliance, he cooperated with Yuan Shao and attacked Dong Zhuo. To put it mildly, the relationship between Zhang Yang and Yuan Shao is not bad, Yuan Shao fights for Jizhou, Zhang Yang guards Hanoi to fight bandits, and both of them are peaceful.
Chen Nuo's expedition to Wanluo this time did not take the previous Liyang route, and chose to cross the river from Hanoi.
He has also inquired, if he goes to Liyang, he must pass through Chenliu and Yingchuan counties, and at this time, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others are robbing the people in this area and attacking the prefectures and counties, but they are restless. If you go to Hanoi, because Xiliang is far away, Luoyang is relatively safer, and more importantly, Liu Ying deceived Zhao Xue to take this road.
Chen Nuo and his entourage left Yecheng and went all the way west into Hanoi County. Because the relationship between Yuan Shao and Zhang Yang was acceptable at this time, Chen Nuo's entry into Zhang Yang's inner border did not arouse Zhang Yang's vigilance. Of course, before this, Chen Nuo had also specially written a letter to inform Zhang Yang, wanting to take the road to the west, and only after obtaining Zhang Yang's consent did he set foot in the border of the inner part of the river.
Although Zhang Yang's inland border is mostly controlled by the Black Mountain Army and the White Polish Army, Zhang Yang is busy suppressing thieves, and may not be able to fully control Hanoi, but after all, he is the Hanoi Taishou appointed by the imperial court, and now he leads the army into his territory, no matter how he says, he must notify the master in advance. Besides, he Chen Nuo chose to go to Hanoi, and he also had another plan.
As far as he knows, although Zhang Yang and Yuan Shao are currently in harmony on the surface, they may not be able to get together, which is where they can be used.
Thinking that Lu Bu was trapped in history and ran to Yuan Shao, although Yuan Shao accepted it for a while, he did not fully trust Lu Bu, and later prepared to send assassins to assassinate Lu Bu. Under such circumstances, Lu Bu ran to Zhang Yang at night and swore an oath with Zhang Yang. It is conceivable that the person Yuan Shao hated was blatantly taken in by Zhang Yang, and his words and deeds were perverse, how could he not make Yuan Shao jealous? How good can the relationship between the two of them be?
The so-called side of the couch does not allow others to snore, Jizhou Yecheng and Hanoi are adjacent, thinking that these two are one of the heroes of the late Han Dynasty, and no one can serve anyone. Although the two of them are currently in harmony, they are just for the sake of interests, not sincerely. At this time, Yuan Shao was busy dealing with Gongsun Zhan, and Zhang Yang wanted to clear the Black Mountain Army and the White Bo Army in the county, and no one could spare time to deal with anyone, so for the sake of interests, he had to temporarily come together.
It is precisely because of the fact that considering the relationship between Zhang Yang and Yuan Shao, Chen Nuo is more interested in befriending Zhang Yang.
I think that Guangwu Zhongxing used Hanoi as the base camp to restore the Han family step by step and establish the Eastern Han Dynasty. Guangwu's Hanoi, which is equivalent to Liu Bang's Guanzhong, has an extremely important strategic location. For the time being, if Hanoi can be controlled, it will be an extremely important strategic location to take Wanluo near the river, control Qianghu in the west, refuse to annex the state in the north, and lock Jizhou in the east. If you can control this place, it will also contain Yecheng in Jizhou, and it will definitely pose a threat to Yuan Shao. Even if Chen Nuo can't control it directly, if he can befriend Zhang Yang, if he turns against Yuan Shao in the future, he will be a good chess piece.
Therefore, during his trip to Hanoi, Chen Nuo had to visit Zhang Yang, the owner of this place, in person.
At present, Zhang Yang's actual control area is in the area from Gongxian to Qinshui, and even the Gaodu of Beiwan Prefecture, and the Dongyuan counties in the east of the Hedong River in the west. Moreover, he is now mainly focused on dealing with the Black Mountain Army and the White Polish Army in the north, although he has the heart to leave. As for the Chaoge counties in the east of the communist county, because Yuan Shao's forces intervened and became Yuan Shao's sphere of influence, he was helpless. Because the main focus is on killing the Black Mountain Army and the Baibo Army, Zhang Yang is currently stationed in the Yewang area, with Yewang as the base camp, just like Yuan Shaozhi in Yecheng.
Chen Nuo led the army to march quickly, and within a few days, he arrived at a place more than ten miles east of Yewang.
This can't be done, after all, it would be rude to move forward rashly. On the one hand, Chen Nuo asked people to stop and set up camp, and on the other hand, he asked the scouts to report the news of their imminent arrival to Zhang Yang first, which could be regarded as a greeting. It's just that what Chen Nuo didn't expect was that the scout cavalry had not yet been dispatched, and several horsemen and horses had already arrived on Yewang's side to inquire about Chen Nuo's side, knowing that it was Chen Nuo and the others, so he told Chen Nuo to let Chen Nuo travel a few more miles, and his general Zhang had led his subordinates to wait for Chen Nuo ten miles outside the city.
Chen Nuo didn't expect Zhang Yang to be so knowledgeable, so he thanked him again and again, and let Zhang Yang's men lead the way, and he led the army to continue to move forward. The army could not walk more than two or three miles, and sure enough, there was already a scout on the side of the Shili Pavilion who reported that Zhang Yang had also come out of the Shili Pavilion and walked for a while to greet Chen Nuo and the others from a distance.
Preaching is indispensable, washing the dust is indispensable, Chen Nuo and so on, Zhang Yang's drum music is loud, it is very grand. And the team sent to greet Chen Nuo was full of civil and military personnel, amounting to dozens of people, who should be a group of staff in Hanoi. In addition, there was a cavalry queue beside the road, far away, very majestic.
From a distance, Zhang Yang glanced at Chen Nuo immediately, then nodded, and personally stepped forward to greet him, laughing all the way. Chen Nuo is not good at slacking off, under the protection of Dian Wei and others, that is, he fell off his horse and walked forward to meet Zhang Yang. When Zhang Yang saw Chen Nuo like an old friend, he hugged Chen Nuo's arm, nodded and looked at him, and his expression was quite enthusiastic.
Chen Nuo had never seen Zhang Yang before, and the two had never interacted, so he couldn't help but wonder about Zhang Yang's actions. This is ten miles to greet each other, and it is to pick up on foot, is it too much, do I have such a great charm worthy of his friendship?
Well, although he is currently a martial arts general and the leader of Bohai Taishou, but Bohai is still in the hands of Gongsun Chan after all, but he is just a remote leader, and his rise to prominence is only in the past few months, how can Zhang Yang be so devoted to making friends? I think Zhang Yang is also an old warlord who crusaded against Dong Zhuo, both in terms of power and prestige, he Chen Nuo can't match it for a while. The so-called dedication to nothing, either treachery or theft, and if he does it today, if he has other intentions, he must be a fool, which is really incomprehensible.
Looking at the group of civil and military forces behind Zhang Yang again, although the face is relatively cheerful, it is also a happy image, but in Chen Nuo's eyes, how can there be a faint sense of resentment?
Chen Nuo carefully said something to Zhang Yang, and Zhang Yang asked someone to hold the water and wine, a bottle in his hand, and a bottle to Chen Nuo.
Chen Nuo glanced at Zhang Yang and was about to take it, but Dian Wei behind him stepped forward, snatched water and wine from Chen Nuo's hand, and said, "If you are thirsty, drink first!" Dian Wei didn't say much, but sent the water and wine into his stomach, and drank it too quickly, and the wine stained his beard, like dew on the grass.
Chen Nuo's face changed and he went to look at Dian Wei. It's not Dian Wei's rudeness to take wine, but it's because of Dian Wei's sincerity. Dian Wei drank to his stomach, and his face did not change, and Chen Nuo also sighed lightly, it seems that the wine is not poisonous.
In front of him, Zhang Yang was about to raise a bottle to greet him, but suddenly saw Dian Wei snatching the water and wine from Chen Nuo's hand, and he was shocked. But seeing the bold state of Dian Wei's wine when it was about to dry, he couldn't help but nodded, laughed and asked: "This strong man, can wine quench your thirst?" But do you want another bottle? ”
Chen Nuo glanced at Dian Wei, Dian Wei was stunned, and he didn't know what to say for a while. It's also that he cares too much about Chen Nuo, afraid that the wine is poisonous, and now that he has no reaction after drinking, it seems that he is too worried, and at this time, he suddenly heard Zhang Yang ask, but he didn't know what to say.
Chen Nuo was also afraid of misunderstanding with Zhang Yang because of this matter, which was not what he was happy to see. Chen Nuo hurriedly pulled his face, and immediately scolded Dian Wei, saying that he was reckless and wanted to punish him.
The group of civil and military forces behind Zhang Yang were originally dissatisfied with Zhang Yang's move, but they were teased by Dian Wei at this moment, and their hearts were even more unhappy, and their faces were steaming with anger, and they were about to get angry at any time. However, after they saw Chen Nuo scolding Dian Wei, they had no reason to be angry, they just snorted lightly, and they were indignant.
However, Zhang Yang hurriedly persuaded Chen Nuo not to do this, and interceded for Dian Wei, and said that if Dian Wei was hungry and thirsty, he had water and wine here, and persuaded Chen Nuo, why blame this strong man for this matter. And said that if this were the case, his heart would be even more troubled.
The group of civil and military forces behind Zhang Yang had long been accustomed to Zhang Yang's temperament, and they were not surprised by his words, but seeing their lord showing weakness in front of others, his face was naturally not good-looking. Chen Nuo saw it in his eyes, and confessed to Zhang Yang a few more sentences, and saw that his group of civil and martial arts looked a little better, so he was relieved.
The two of them each gave up a bottle of wine, and Zhang Yang invited Chen Nuo to stay in the city for a few days before leaving.
Chen Nuo had the heart to make friends with Zhang Yang, and when he heard Zhang Yang's words, he had the heart to agree. It's just that if you take these 3,000 people into the city according to Zhang Yang's request, it seems to be too ostentatious, and if you don't bring people and horses into the city, see if the nose of this group of civil and military forces behind Zhang Yang is not a nose or a face, and I am not at ease for a while. But Chen Nuo understood that he must enter Yewang City, and Zhang Yang must also make friends, so he had to compromise and request that the men and horses be temporarily stationed more than ten miles outside the city, and he only took Dian Wei and a group of people inside.
You must know that Chen Nuo brought three thousand at this time, which is a force that cannot be underestimated, and if it is not enough, it will bring disastrous consequences to Yewang City. And the reason why Zhang Yang invited him to bring people into the city was just polite words, even if Zhang Yang was sincere, Chen Nuo might not dare to take such a big risk. At the same time, having said that, Chen Nuo stationed this force outside the city, if he had two hearts, he could conspire inside and outside, and it would definitely pose a threat to Yewang City, so although this army was deployed outside Yewang City, the threat to Yewang was not much lessened. This is also the reason why Chen Nuo deliberately requested, and he also deliberately requested that the army be arranged to camp more than ten miles away from Yewang City, just to reassure Zhang Yang and his subordinates.
When Chen Nuo said this, although Zhang Yang disagreed, he said in his heart that it seemed too rusty. But he couldn't help his subordinates, and seeing that they were pale and couldn't object, he had to agree, while inviting Chen Nuo and others to enter the city.
