After some explanation, Wei Tao finally understood that the ancestor of Zhang Liao was Nie Yi, who was a wealthy family in Mayi.

However, at that time, this Nie Yi designed the Huns at that time, and was recognized by the Huns.

Although the Xiongnu were also suppressed by the Han Dynasty again and again, it was impossible for the people of the Nie Yi clan to stay in Mayi, not only the Xiongnu were quite resentful of them, but even the local people did not want to see their clan.

In order to avoid disaster, the descendants of the Nie Yi family changed their surname to Zhang.

Although they have been away from Mayi for many years, the Zhang family still hopes to return to their homeland one day, and even more hope to be able to wash away the shame of their ancestors one day.

Therefore, most of the children of the Zhang family joined the state army.

Although Zhang Liao is not very old, his courage is already second to none in the Zhang family, and he learned that this matter was presided over by Wei Tao, who was from Chen Liuwei's family, although he was also puzzled about Wei Tao's age, but the Zhang family also sent twenty helpers.

"My lord, we already have a lot of soldiers in this matter, although they have not reached a hundred, but they are all elite people, and they can become soldiers with a little training. If you recruit ordinary people again, it will take time to train, but you will not be able to improve your strength and become a drag. ”

Zhang Liao really deserves to be a famous general, and when Wei Tao gathered all the soldiers, he spoke to Wei Tao.

"Mayi is the ancestral land of the Zhang family, and I also know something about Mayi, and I can barely gain a foothold with the military strength of adults."

"Wen Yuan knows the feelings of Ma Yi? Please hurry up. ”

Wei Tao was happy in his heart, he really didn't find the wrong person, he just knew that there were no Han officials stationed in Na Ma Yi for a long time, but he didn't know what the specific situation was.

It's just that it is obvious that Zhang Liao is not as close to him as he was before, which makes Wei Tao feel a little pimple.

"Yes, Ma Yi now has three troubles, if adults want to gain a foothold, then they must withstand the pressure of the three troubles."

"Three troubles? What are the three troubles? ”

Wei Tao frowned, he could imagine that Ma Yi must have suffered greatly from the Huns, but he didn't know what the other two troubles were.

"Ma Yi has three troubles, one is the Huns, since the Huns and the Han Dynasty came to the enemy, Ma Yi has suffered deeply, which is also the reason why the people of Ma Yi hate my Nie family, but now I am afraid that no one knows that my Zhang family is Nie Yi, but I am not worried about the adult."

Wei Tao nodded, this is indeed a problem for his henchmen.

"But I don't know what else is going on?"

"The second plague is for the horse bandits, these horse bandits are robbing and plundering all the way, especially the largest of them, it is said that there are thousands of people, called 'a gust of wind', come and go without a trace, not only the people of Mayi suffer deeply, even the Huns are harassed by it, it can be said that they are the uncrowned king of Mayi."

Speaking of this, Zhang Liao's face became even more serious.

"In the past, the Han Dynasty did not have no officials to go west out of Yanmen, but often less than half a month later, they were killed by this horse bandit, and over time, the Han only used Yanmen Pass as a defense against the Huns, not to mention the matter of Mayi."

"Jianyang Gong is afraid of me if I am so evil?"

Wei Tao couldn't help but smile bitterly, but also, where are the children of a family willing to join the army at the border, or start from a small pawn.

Ding Yuan's method of retreating in the face of difficulties is exactly what he should do.

"Wen Yuan, these two troubles are not to be underestimated, and it is not something we can deal with now, but I don't know what this third problem is?"

"The third plague is for the people, the first two may not be able to ignore us for a while, but if this third plague is not good, I'm afraid we will retreat to Yanmen in only three days."

"Diaomin? Although it is said that the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, but if we are not the soldiers of the Han Dynasty, how can the people make me so afraid? Don't you dare to rebel? ”

Wei Tao's face also became a little gloomy, although he didn't have much loyalty to the Liu family, but now Ma Yi was specifically in his charge.

"Rebellion is not enough. However, because it is located on the border, the Han Dynasty has very few things to control, but it is oppressed by the Xiongnu and horse bandits from time to time, so the people among them do not have much good impression of the Han Dynasty. ”

Zhang Liao also sighed lightly, thinking that his ancestor Nie Yi was a wealthy family in Mayi, and he also wanted to do it for the sake of the Han Dynasty, but he didn't want it to end up like this, and even the descendants had to change their names, and it was not incomprehensible that those people were like this.

"My lord should know the way, there is a great shortage of all kinds of things at the border passes, and the local people are oppressed by the Huns and horse bandits, and all kinds of food and the like are already insufficient, where is he willing to supply the army? If it is to transport grain, how can it be transported out of Yanmen Pass? Even if adults want to buy it with their own money, who are they going to buy? ”

Wei Tao was suddenly shocked in his heart, he hadn't considered this logistical matter.

In the barracks, there are naturally full-time officials in charge of such logistical matters, and of course, more importantly, Wei Tao has always been a soldier before, and it is not his turn to worry about such affairs.

"How is that good?"

The reality is not to play a game, a random few points is to complete the transportation, logistics and other transportation, but also to consider the consumption of materials on the way.

What's more, Yanmen Pass is a border area, and the materials obtained should be given priority supply, and it is even more difficult to get supplies from Yanmen Pass.

After all, Wei Tao is just a small general now, and Chen Liuwei's family has a reputation and is only in Chen Liu, how can he take care of this.

"Wen Yuan, do you have any good suggestions?"

It's a pity that although Zhang Liao noticed this problem, he could only shake his head about it.

"Then I don't know who is presiding over Yanmen Pass now?"

Wei Tao couldn't see this, Zhang Liao is a famous general and a general, not a strategist, not to mention that Zhang Liao is just a future famous general.

No one knows that with Wei Tao's interference, Zhang Liao will be able to become the peerless general of the 'Mighty Xiaoyaojin' in the future.

"Young master, now the master of Yanmen Pass is called Yanfa, but there is already news that Lord Ding Yuan Ding has ordered Gao Shun to lead the trapping camp to garrison Yanmen Pass to prevent the Huns from going south."

Because Zhang Liao was beside him, Wang He's words were much more cautious.

"It turned out to be General Gao, if General Gao was stationed in Yanmen, then it would not be to ignore us."

Although Wei Tao didn't know whether Ding Yuan reused Gao Shun or sent Gao Shun away, if it was really Gao Shun stationed at Yanmen Pass, it would be a great thing for him.

"My lord, even so, if you want to gain a foothold in Mayi, you still have to find a way."

After all, Zhang Liao is young, and he is not tactful enough to do things for others, so he said again.

"The people of Ma Yi are already very unwelcome to Han officials, and even if there are sufficient logistical supplies, with the poverty of Ma Yi, it is not impossible for the people to rob grain, not to mention that there are many inconveniences for us to gain a foothold."

When you encounter anyone who has not yet arrived, you will be poured cold water on it again and again, and you will have thoughts in your heart.

However, Wei Tao was a little different after all, and he also knew Zhang Liao's ability, so he nodded seriously and said.

"What Wen Yuan said is very true, but the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it. I'm sure there will be a way. Now we have to act first, and then delay it, I am afraid that we will not be punished, and the matter of marching will have to be troubled by Lao Wenyuan. ”

"No!"

Zhang Liao immediately surrendered in unison.

I have to say that Wei Tao's trust still made Zhang Liao feel a sense of confidant.

If it weren't for Wei Tao's age, he would not be very old, I'm afraid Zhang Liao would have been willing to obey at this time.

Because Zhang Liao was here, Wang He naturally had some words that he couldn't say clearly, and after he left, Wang He said.

"Young master, although this Zhang Wenyuan is also young, his qualifications are indeed not inferior to that of the young master. It is also legitimate for the young master to value it so much. However, it would be too ...... to take the risk to go to Mayi for this reason If the young master wants to be an official, after a few years, ask the master to walk around for the young master, not to mention how big the city is, but it is not difficult to ask for the position of a county lieutenant, why should the young master take such a risk? ”

But it was Wang He who persuaded Wei Tao again.

"What Uncle Wang said is indeed an old law."

Wei Tao understands this old man's care for him, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have come here to help him despite being over half a hundred years old.

"But what I'm doing now is also for my family. I want my Wei family ancestors to go to Wei Qing, galloping thousands of miles, so that the Huns dare not look south, my descendants and other descendants are now just in the Central Plains, but they have fallen into the name of their ancestors. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Tao paused slightly, and his face became more serious.

"What's more, if Ding Jianyang asks with good words, then I will leave on my own, but Ding Jianyang is like this, if I leave, then where will I leave Chen Liuwei?"

The family also has a face-to-face dispute.

This kind of face struggle is not just face, there are also many interests entangled, if Wei Tao retreats, then the Wei family will definitely be ashamed, let alone be looked at by other families.

"What the young master said is extremely true, but the villain was negligent."

Wang He knew that Wei Tao had made up his mind, so he naturally stopped saying more.

"Uncle Wang is for my good, I naturally understand, but sometimes these things are not up to us. Now that I have chosen this path, I naturally want to do this well, is it still difficult to live in a mere place? ”

"In that case, please let me follow, although the old man is older, some ordinary and trivial things can still be taken care of."

Although Wang He is over half a hundred years old, his body is very tough, and he followed his father to the north and south in the early years, and he made a good knife technique.

On this trip to Mayi, Wei Tao really needed help, and after thinking for a while, he nodded in response.

"In that case, everything is up to Uncle Wang."

Naturally, there are a lot of complicated things to open the barracks, but there are not many people led by Wei Tao, and Wei Tao has not been a fool in the army all these years, so it is naturally very easy to take care of all the affairs.

If so, under the leadership of Wei Tao, Zhang Liao and dozens of others followed all the way to Yanmen.
