Chapter 171: Arriving at Guanzhong
Huang Zhong followed Ma Chao to Nanyang, and Zhuge Liang warmly received him. After Huang Zhong and his family members paused in Nanyang for a while, Zhuge Liang escorted them to Guanzhong, and Huang Zhong and several relatives and an officer sent by Zhuge Liang rode fast horses first, followed by the brigade.
A few days later, Huang Zhong arrived in Chang'an, Guanzhong.
The magnificent Chang'an City appeared abruptly in front of you, majestic and abnormal, like a majestic peak, without the exquisite scenery of the Central Plains City, but it has its own temperament of iron and blood vicissitudes. Huang Zhong couldn't help but sigh. Entering Chang'an City, what catches your eye is the wide and straight connection and row upon row of buildings, compared with Xiangyang, the buildings here seem to be much monotonous, but also a lot simpler, but the atmosphere here is very peaceful, passers-by can always see smiles on their faces. "Xiao Duo, it's time to go home for dinner!" A young woman stood in the doorway and called out while her children were playing with a bunch of mischievous children in the mud under a large willow tree. Such a calm and peaceful scene, Huang Zhong has not seen it for many years, and seeing you again at this moment, I can't help but be cordial and feel a lot.
Looking up at the courtyard in the distance, I was looking forward to the general I was about to meet.
The group came to the gate of the General's Mansion, and the officer stepped forward to pay his respects and took out Zhuge Liang's handwritten letter. After the guard inspected it, he ordered the door to be opened, came to Huang Zhongma, hugged his fists and said: "The general has already explained, if General Huang comes, you can go directly to the hall to meet you!" ”
"Thank you!" Turning over and dismounting, he climbed the steps with a slight nervousness and walked into the gate.
Walking along the bluestone paved ground towards the hall, flanked by warriors in heavy armor and cloaks, they all looked at Huang Zhong. In the hall, I faintly saw a few people, and the man in civilian clothes at the top thought to be the general!
Huang Zhong walked into the hall and bowed to Zhang Lang: "The villain Huang Zhong greets the general!" ”
Zhang Lang raised his head and glanced at him, only to see that although the man's beard was gray, he was extremely burly and had a strong temperament, and he was the choice of the tiger general at first glance. stood up, walked down the hall, helped Huang Zhong up, and said excitedly: "General Huang, I am very happy that you can come over!" ”
Huang Zhong's heart calmed down for a while, "Thank you, General!" ”
Zhang Lang patted his arm with a smile, pointed to a man and a woman sitting next to him, and introduced Huang Zhong: "They are Jia Xu and Huang Yueying, both of whom are my right-hand men!" ”
Huang Zhong and the two clasped their fists.
Zhang Lang asked Huang Zhong to sit under Jia Xu, and he returned to the top to sit down.
Zhang Lang smiled and said to Huang Zhong: "With Hansheng's ability, he can be a general, but after all, he has just arrived, and he has not made an inch, and the position of our army is based on military merit, so I have to aggrieve Hansheng for the time being!" ”
Huang Zhong hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "The general doesn't have to worry!" The last general did not leave Liu Bei for the sake of high-ranking officials! ”
Zhang Lang nodded, "Han Sheng will be my Chinese army guard general first, and if he makes military merits, he will be promoted." Huang Zhong stood up and bowed: "Thank you, General!" ”
Zhang Lang smiled and said to Jia Xu: "Wenhe, take Hansheng to see his new home." "No." Jia Xu stood up and smiled at Huang Zhong: "The lord has already ordered that a mansion be prepared for General Han Sheng, and General Han Sheng will go with me to have a look." Huang Zhong hurriedly stood up and bowed to Zhang Lang gratefully: "Thank you, General!" Zhang Lang smiled slightly.
Jia Xu led Huang Zhong away.
Huang Yueying smiled and said, "Congratulations to the eldest brother for having one more battlefield warrior!" ”
Zhang Lang smiled and asked, "Does Sister Yueying know about Huang Zhong?" Huang Yueying thought for a moment: "I know a little bit about it!" This person has extraordinary strength and great ambitions, but unfortunately his fate is so bad that he is not yet famous in the world at this age! Zhang Lang smiled: "The days when he is famous all over the world will not be too long!" Huang Yueying pursed her lips and smiled, "Of course!" When he meets a lord like his eldest brother, it is like a thousand miles of horses meeting Bole, and his hooves are just around the corner! Zhang Lang looked at Huang Yueying's delicate face obsessively, Huang Yueying has a special charm when analyzing things, which is not found by other women, which is particularly attractive.
Huang Yueying couldn't help but feel ashamed and a little annoyed when she saw Zhang Lang staring at her in a daze again, but she was more happy.
"Yueying." Zhang Lang suddenly called.
Huang Yueying was a little nervous, "Huh? He answered softly.
Zhang Lang smiled and said, "It's not too early, you should go back to eat!" ”
Huang Yueying, who was shy, looked at Zhang Lang in surprise, and then said angrily: "I know, I don't need you to remind me!" He stood up, saluted Zhang Lang angrily, and left.
Zhang Lang looked at Huang Yueying's back and smiled.
Jia Xu led Huang Zhong and several of his entourage to a courtyard not far from the General's Mansion. High wall, wide main entrance, look up, only to see the courtyard wall pavilions and pavilions row upon row, this courtyard is very small! Jia Xu smiled and said to Huang Zhong: "This is it." I'll take Hansheng in and have a look. ”
Huang Zhong came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "This, this is too big, right?" ”
Jia Xu smiled, "It's not big, it's not big!" The general said that Hansheng has a lot of family members, and he needs a bigger place! Huang Zhong was moved in his heart. Jia Xu turned over and dismounted, and Huang Zhong also fell off the horse. Several servants greeted him and saluted, and Jia Xu pointed at Huang Zhong and said, "This is General Huang Zhong, and he will be your master in the future!" Several servants hurried to meet him, but they came up and took hold of the reins, and one of them hurried over and pushed open the door. Jia Xu led Huang Zhong into the gate, the first thing that caught his eye was the front yard and the main hall, the main hall was atmospheric, the front yard was vast, the bluestone paved ground, and there were four large camphor trees on both sides, covering the entire front lawn, making the front lawn look a little dark.
Huang Zhong couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This front lawn is about the same size as my old house!" ”
Jia Xu smiled and led him to the backyard to watch. Along the way, Huang Zhongru was in a dream, and the gratitude in his heart for Zhang Lang could not be expressed in words. Huang Zhong is naturally not a greedy person, but he is a very emotional person, this qiē in front of him made Huang Zhong feel that Zhang Lang attached importance to him, so he naturally had moving feelings in his heart, and then decided to die for Zhang Lang!
After lunch, Zhang Lang, accompanied by Huang Yueying, went to the ordnance factory outside the city, and he wanted to see the latest achievements of the ordnance factory.
In the northwest suburbs of Chang'an, more than ten miles, there is a dense distribution of houses, surrounded by walls, and there are soldiers patrolling and guarding the surroundings 24 hours a day, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter here. It's tinkling all day long, even at night, and the hustle and bustle doesn't stop. This is the ordnance factory that Zhang Lang has spent a lot of effort to establish, a military factory established with the concept of modern industrialization!
