Light and the sixth year, November 9th, night, the stars dimmed.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and after the temptation of the past few days, God finally figured out the reality of the world, and began to vent the endless ice and snow to the fullest, freezing the world.

Listening to the old man of Juqiaoyi, Jizhou has not encountered such a heavy snow for 20 years. With such snow, the coming year should have been a good year, but unfortunately, this world is .......

Juqiao Station has a long history, and it is rumored to be the place where the king of Shang Jiuchi meat forest tun grain. After thousands of years, the princes who enjoyed themselves here in the old days have long been made earth, but this mountain and river are still the same.

At this time, the Juqiao Post was the traffic post in the north of Chaoge, and it was originally the important post of Chaoge to connect with central and southern Hebei. In the past, there were endless business travelers, and it was one of the best post stations in Hanoi.

But this year, the Hebei Yellow Turban Incident, the world was in chaos, the Quartet was not quiet, and business travel had long been cut off. This Juqiao Station will naturally be depressed.

In the heavy snow, the lights of Juqiaoyi are like beans, and it is so warm and safe in this cold night.

"Crunch"

A postman went out in a fat and tattered winter coat.

The reason why he still has to go out on such a cold night is because there are three stagecoaches in the inn that he needs to take care of. They are more noble beings than him.

The thin postman first looked at the stable, and when he saw that it was not crushed by the snow, he relieved half of his heart.

He first cleared half of the snow and added some clean grass to the three horses. The so-called horse has no weeds and no fertilizer, which is the truth.

The post man's name is Xiao Han, and he is the widow of the ravine picked up by the post chief. The reason why he was abandoned was not because Xiao Han had any defects, but simply because he couldn't live.

The post chief is Lao Han, who has been a post chief in this Juqiao post for generations, but he has not given birth to a son in his generation. So, he adopted Xiao Han as his own son.

However, Lao Han didn't plan to leave his position to Xiao Han in the future, after all, he was only forty this year, and he wanted to work hard again to have a son.

Xiao Han didn't think about it so much, in this post station, what he cared about the most was these stagecoaches. He felt that they were more human than human.

As the war intensified, the good horses in the post station had already been requisitioned by the Han army and sent to the Qishui camp, so the people left in the post station at the moment were actually three old horses that could not be driven.

The consumption of horses at the inn is very large. Because how the Han dynasty in Kyoto ruled this 10,000-mile territory depended not only on those loyal officials, but also on this network of post stations throughout the four directions.

In order to maintain the flow and timeliness of information, each inn must always have a number of horses, and these horses are at least medium.

There is a saying, "The so-called Maxima often exists, but Bole does not often exist."

But in fact, Bole may have it, but this Maxima really doesn't. There is no such thing as a thousand miles in a day and 800 miles in a night.

In general, as far as a single horse is concerned. An ordinary horse can travel one or two hundred miles a day. A good horse can travel about 300 miles a day. And that kind of famous horse that has no one in a thousand miles can travel 400 miles a day, but at most it is 500 miles.

So, the horse's speed limit is here.

In peacetime, in order to quickly transmit news between the post stations, it is necessary to change horses and not people to the messengers who deliver military orders.

But even so, the horse was a very valuable possession that could be leased to the village to pull a plow. The same is true of the Juqiao Station, and now these three horses are an important way to subsidize the station.

Therefore, whether it is emotionally or financially, Xiao Han is dedicated to Sanma.

Just when Xiao Han was combing the three horses, suddenly the three horses neighed in unison, and Xiao Han was still wondering. I saw that in the dark night in the north, a group of people led horses and black shadows came to step on the snow.

Xiao Han was taken aback, and looked at it again, no, it wasn't a group of people.

The long dragon that can't be seen in sight, this is an army! And it's all cavalry.

Xiao Han didn't shout, but just froze there motionless, longing for those people not to see him.

But alas, these people came straight to this station.

In the wind and snow, most of the black shadows stopped, only a hundred

The rest of the people broke into the inn.

They were led by a man wearing a hat and his eyebrows and eyes were frosty and snowy.

What does this man say? Xiao Han couldn't say it, he just felt that this person was not an ordinary person.

Before this man could enter, the soldiers beside him jumped into the post like tigers and wolves. Subsequently, there was a period of chaos, and the four postmen in the post station, including Xiao Han, were executed. Chinese Net

Xiao Han looked at the thief head in confusion and listened to his fall.

Elder Han knew too much more than Xiao Han, and he was trembling at the moment.

Because he knows who these people are? They are the Taishan giants who are confronting the Han army at this moment.

The yellow entanglement, the special armband, is indeed the Tarzan thief.

When you think about this cavalry legion falling here in the snow at night, you can imagine why they are? Isn't it the song of the morning not far away?

And since it is a covert operation, how can they survive if they bump into it?

Old Han ghost knows this, that's why he is shaking like this.

Lao Han was not wrong, this cavalry corps that came in the snow was none other than our sky-high general Zhang Chong and his 2,000 cavalry.

They were the Han army that sneaked out of Yecheng on the 8th, preparing to attack Chaoge at night. But an unexpected heavy snowfall not only delayed the day, but also left them lost.

That's why they came to this station to ask where they were at this time.

At the front of everyone, the one with the hat was Zhang Chong.

He looked at the old official who was shaking like a dog, and said gently:

"Old man, don't panic. I'm just asking you something, where are we here? How far is Chaoge from here?"

Hearing this, Lao Han trembled even more, he heard this thief say that he was going to go to the court, so there was no way to live.

At this moment, Lao Han only froze on the ground, thinking that he had no son, so he was going to the Yin Land and insult his ancestors. For a while, Lao Han's tears rained down.

Zhang Chong saw that Lao Han was crying and didn't speak, so he laughed and didn't speak.

Guo Zu on the side was about to scold this old man, but Xiao Han over there suddenly said:

"Our place is called Julu Station, and it is still more than ten miles away from Chaoge."

When the riders around Zhang Chong heard this, they couldn't help it anymore and smiled. They are finally about to arrive at Chaoge. This damn road, this damn Han army, this damn snow.

Zhang Chong didn't plan to kill these people, some people didn't kill if they didn't kill them, where could they go under this heavy snow?

So, Zhang Chong was ready to take the generals to continue to travel in the frost and snow, but he still lacked a guide.

Thinking of this, he looked at Xiao Han.

But without waiting for Zhang Chong to ask, this Xiao Han suddenly raised his head, looked at Zhang Chong and said the most important sentence of his life:

"General, I want to take you to the court!"

As soon as these words came out, the trembling old Han was anxious, and just about to scold Xiao Han, he saw the evil man next to the thief's head glaring at him fiercely, so he held back the words.

Zhang Chong listened to Xiao Han's words and asked rhetorically:

"Don't you know that this is a thief? If you stay here, you might be doing well."

Xiao Han shook his head and confided his true thoughts in his heart:

"I'm the postman at this inn, and I'm taking care of three old horses. A few years ago, they were good horses that could travel hundreds of miles a day, but now their legs are shaking when they walk. These horses were originally good horses that could go to war, but in this post station, they became like this. So I thought, if I had a choice among these horses, I might choose to be a war horse."

Zhang Chong felt that this person was a little interesting, and asked:

"So you want to go to war? Don't want to die of old age here?"

Xiao Han still shook his head, and he said honestly:

"I don't want to go to the battlefield either, and I actually don't know what I'm going to do, but I think the general is a big hero, so I want to follow the general."

This Xiao Han's words made the generals laugh, this person couldn't see that he still had this vision, and knew that our Qu Shuai was a big hero.

That's right, our Heavenly General is the greatest hero in this world!

In the laughter of the generals, Xiao Han's face was hot, and he was a little at a loss.

Zhang Chong didn't directly agree to Xiao Han, but asked:

"Do you know how to go to the court?"

Xiao Han nodded and said:

"In the past, my father-in-law used to ask me to go to the Song to drink wine, and I am familiar with this road."

Zhang Chong asked Xiao Han again:

"Many times your current peace, although ordinary, may be your happiest time. If you follow us, you may never encounter these tranquilitys for the rest of your life. So, have you really figured it out?"

Xiao Han was about to say, but the old Han on the side suddenly kowtowed to Zhang Chong:

"General, please be kind to Xiao Han. He is a baby, and he loves the majesty of the general's tall horse, so he said some mindless words, but the old man didn't think that Xiao Han had not thought clearly."

Speaking of this, Lao Han looked at Xiao Han on the side, with a complicated expression, but said firmly:

"I raised this child since I was a child, and I saw it in my eyes. He was like the horses, some of them mixed with the bad horses, and he thought he was also a bad horse. But as long as it falls into the eyes of the real Bole, Maxima is a Maxima after all, and it will eventually run to a broader world."

"So ......"

Lao Han kowtowed heavily to Zhang Chong at this time, and prayed:

"So, please ask the general to take Xiao Han. He is the Maxima, and he does not belong to this station after all."

Xiao Han on the side was stunned, he had never heard this from his father-in-law, he seemed to understand a little, why his father-in-law would shake his head and tell him every time he drank the wine he bought, and this post station would not be passed on to him.

Thinking that his father-in-law valued him so much, Xiao Han burst into tears. He never knew that his dust like cattle and horses was actually a thousand-mile horse in the eyes of his father-in-law.

Xiao Han choked back tears and muttered what to say to his father-in-law.

Lao Han didn't see it, he just clasped his head and continued:

"Please, General."

At this time, Zhang Chong suddenly was in a trance, as if he saw Tian Laohan outside the Xue family four years ago, Tian Jun's father, this moment seemed to coincide with this old official.

Zhang Chong understood, he helped Lao Han up, turned his head to Xiao Han and said:

"Now that you've got you figured out, follow us. Do you have a name?"

Xiao Han looked at Lao Han on the side, and then shook his head:

"I've been called Xiao Han since I was a child, and I haven't got a name yet."

Zhang Chong nodded, and first said to Lao Han:

"Old man, if you think I'm not transgressing, I'll give this child a name."

Lao Han suddenly cried, he bent over and cried to Zhang Chong:

"General Xie gave the name."

As he spoke, he pulled Xiao Han and knelt down together.

Zhang Chong looked at the heavy snowfall, and he said to Xiao Han word by word:

"Child, you will be called Han Gang from now on. You must remember this hill post that raised you, and know the painstaking work of your stepfather."

At this point, Xiao Han, now called Han Gang's child, kowtowed heavily to Zhang Chong along with his stepfather.

At the same time, Zhang Chong looked at the distance hidden in the darkness in the south, his eyes sharp.

Zhang Chong's eyes pierced through time and space.

At this moment, at the head of Chaoge City, Zhang Wen also happened to look north.

Of course, he couldn't see Zhang Chong's gaze, the general of Zhendong would be wearing a thick coat, silently looking at the group of horsemen standing outside the north of the city under the canopy.

This group of horsemen is good at fighting when they look at it, and even in the wind and snow, no one makes a noise.

They watched as a bamboo basket fell to the bottom of the city, and then one of them stepped onto the bamboo basket, and then rose to the top of the city with a creaking sound.

The reason why this is so is because at this time the night is already dark, and the four cities of Chaoge have fallen. This group of horsemen could not enter the city, and could only enter the city in this way.

But because this person was too important, Zhang Wen directly braved the heavy snow to personally receive this person in the city in order not to make him feel neglected.

At this time, when the official was pulled up to the city, everyone in the city found him

It's weird that your hands are over your knees.

Zhang Wen braved the wind and snow, personally left the big coat on his body and covered this person, and then said warmly:

"Xuande, I have received a letter from your teacher, and I know the purpose of your visit."

That's right, this person is our old acquaintance, Liu Bei Liu Xuande.

This person came this time in the name of his teacher, and specially led a cavalry horse team to pass through the defense line of the Taishan army, and it took several lives and deaths to rush to Chaoge.

After receiving Liu Bei, everyone no longer had to stay in the city to blow the wind, Zhang Wen took Liu Bei into the quiet room in the city. As for the horsemen who came with Liu Bei all the way, they also had their own warm wine after entering the city later.

After changing into clean clothes, Liu Bei was like a jade, and appeared in front of Zhang Wen again.

Zhang Wen stood up unconsciously, and praised Liu Bei:

"Xuande is heroic, no wonder how your teacher praised you in his letter."

Liu Bei didn't dare to be praised by Zhang Wen, and even now, Liu Bei was still a little apprehensive at the moment.

Just because of what kind of person Zhang Wen is? General Zhendong of the Han family. He had just braved the snow to wait for him at the head of the city, and it could no longer be said that he was a corporal of the festival, but it was greatly inconsistent with the etiquette.

What kind of person is he Liu Bei, a villain who fights for food, and he must bear his weight when he receives such a great gift. And what can make General Zhendong unbearable, how can he Liu Bei be insincere and afraid.

Sure enough, Zhang Wen invited his arm to sit here, and confided in Liu Bei here.

Liu Bei's face was gloomy, but his heart had already turned over the river.

"The New Book of the World" - "Jiewu Chapter":

[General Han Gang's old book, met on a snowy night, and begged to stay with the army. When his father asked him why, Oka said, "The Han family will decline, and there are women who cheat, and there are no heroes who use force. What's the use of me? Those who can use me are only General Zhang!" 】
