Chapter 65: Feng Yi and Zhang Ji

The seat of the county - Dali County is located in the eastern part of the Guanzhong Plain in Shaanxi Province, since the sixteenth year of Qin Li Gonggong (461 B.C.) set up Linjin County, has had Linjin, Huaide, Huayin, Nanwuquan, Wuxiang, Chaoyi, Fengyi, Riverside, Hexi, Linfang, Tongzhou said, the Yellow River, the Luo River, the Wei River flow through the territory, and the Wei and Luo two rivers converge in Dali, flow into the Yellow River that flows from the north to the south to the east, it is the pass and traffic artery that enters and exits the Qin and Jin dynasties in ancient times, and is known as the "Sanqin thoroughfare" and "Sanfu important town". A strategic place to fight for the soldiers.

After the Eastern Han Dynasty Jian'an five years (AD 200), counties, prefectures and bureaus were set up successively, which lasted more than 1,800 years, and the largest county was Zuo Fengyi in the eighteenth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 213). Zuo Fengyi governed the lower reaches of the Luohe River north of the Wei River in present-day Shaanxi Province and east of the Jing River, with a circumference of about 800 kilometers and a length of about 250 kilometers from east to west.

Zuo Fengyi's mansion is Zuo Fengyi's official office, and the chief is Taishou, because the land belongs to Jifu, so it is not called a county.

The name of Zuo Fengyi was developed from the internal history of Qin Zhangzhi Jingshi. In the second year of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty (155 B.C.), the internal history was divided into left and right internal history. In the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (104 BC), the history of Zuo Nei was changed to Zuo Feng Yi. Feng, which means auxiliary; Yi, which means Zuo, the word Feng Yi can be read as an auxiliary in its entirety. Changing Zuo Nei to Zuo Feng Yi thought that this was an important position to assist the king, and the post was too guarded. Taishou ranks in the middle of 2,000 stones (rank refers to the grade of the official, Yu Lu), silver seal green ribbon, with Jiuqing, get "Du Feng Chaoqing", one of the three auxiliaries (three auxiliaries refer to the left Feng Yi, Jingzhao Mansion, right Fufeng). Although Zuo Fengyi's position is equivalent to that of the county guard, his status is far above the county guard, and he is undoubtedly a prominent figure valued by the king.

After the Eastern Han Dynasty moved its capital to Luoyang, Chang'an's status as a companion capital declined, and Feng Yi's natural status as a place of three auxiliaries was not as good as before, but it was much higher than the status of other states and counties. "Feng Yi's status in the west is still quite powerful, Guan Yu went to Feng Yi to collect military horses, grain and grass as a general of the three grades of the Dangkou general, which shows Dong Zhuo's importance to him, but in Guan Yu's eyes, this Feng Yi is still quite unfamiliar, everything is a new beginning, new, but he still went with confidence, and he couldn't help but think in his heart: Okay, you Dong Zhuo is really ruthless enough, you play with people, you change the whole person, and the means are still so ingenious, if you are really an old fox, you will become more and more careful, More and more can be a leader! But on the other hand, he had to admire Dong Zhuo's leadership.

Guan Yu took his guards to set foot on Feng Yi's road, and soon came to Feng Yi's territory, but saw that Feng Yi's city gate was towering, the city defense was strong, and it was as solid as gold. Outside the city in the south is a big river to pass, the river is yellow, the torrent is forward, there are faint boats passing on it, it is really a picturesque place, Guan Yu hand in hand into Feng Yi City, only to see that the market here is prosperous, the population is large, the shops are numerous, the inns are gathered, it is a rich place at a glance.

Guan Yu soon came to Feng Yi's mansion and informed the mansion of the situation, and the people in the mansion quickly replied that Guan Yu and everyone went to the mansion to see Lord Taishou, Guan Yu couldn't help but think: What a big pie! I'm also a third-grade military general now, isn't this too high a level than me? Isn't it just a county guard, at best, it's a positive fourth grade, why are you so awesome? Didn't you even come out to meet in person? I'd like to see what kind of character he is. I have been in the officialdom for so many years, and I am also a "leader", which is too much to take the leader seriously! This is an unspeakable thing in modern times and ancient times, but he wants to see who actually does such a thing.

Guan Yu walked into Feng Yi's mansion but saw a person with an eight-handed beard, a rectangular face, triangular eyes, and a man in his 30s, who seemed to be very mentally capable and sitting in the mansion, seeing Guan Yu's expression when he came to the person, Guan Yu couldn't help but be a little angry when he saw this person so arrogant and rude: I think it's the first time I've encountered such a person in so many years, why don't you look down on me? …,

Guan Yu walked up to the man and said, "You are the county guard here?"

"Nope! It's Taishou! You're General Guan of the Assassin Shi faction, right? Zhang Ji asked rhetorically.

Guan Yu then said: "Exactly! Dare to ask Lord Taishou's honorable name? ”

"Zhang Ji, the word Derong!" Zhang Ji replied.

"Zhang Ji"? I don't think it's mentioned much in the books! How can it be so strange! It seems that he should be a small character who is not very famous, but it is so unreasonable to dare to be so rude! Guan Yu thought like this and said, "Do you know my name? ”

Zhang Ji said disdainfully: "Of course you know Guan Yu, General Guan!" Dong Thorn Shi's favorite general! ”

"Since you know my name, then I'll say it directly, I didn't come to send the Buddha this time, but to invite the Buddha to you, what Buddha? That's 30,000 horses and the corresponding money and food, the sooner the better, raise it for me, so that I can go to the Lord Thorn Shi to get my life! Guan Yu said majestically.

Zhang Ji looked at Guan Yu with indifferent eyes and said, "General Guan, please pay attention to your attitude and way of speaking, and is this Dong Tingshi's order?" Without Dong Tingshi's edict, how can I do it for you? ”

Guan Yu couldn't help but be furious when he heard this: "That's what I said, do you dare to disobey?" Zhang Jiru is just a county guard, and he is only at the level of the fourth grade, I am the general of the Dangkou who was personally sealed by the Assassin Shi, and I am a member of the third grade, and it is the order of the Assassin Shi to come to collect soldiers and horses, do you dare to resist? I think it's against you! ”

"Guan Yu! How dare you make such a mistake? Before you speak, you first inquired about what level of my Feng Yi Taishou is? Zhang Ji said angrily.

When Guan Yu heard this, he knew that he had something to say, but he really didn't know what kind of official and origin this Zhang Ji was, so he didn't continue to attack, but chose to turn around and leave, he had to find out the details of this person before making plans

Guan Yu began to inquire about who this Zhang is, and soon things will have an eyebrow, it turns out that this Zhang is both Derong, Feng Yi Gaoling, born in 152 AD, Guan Yu is 8 years old, born in the Han family, the family is rich, and he is a good person. At the age of sixteen, he served as a small official in Feng Yi County, and later was repeatedly promoted, and was promoted by the county as filial piety, but he did not go to the capital to enter the Lang Office as an official, but went to do a county order under Feng Yi, and was exceptionally promoted to Taishou as the first person in governing the county.
