Chapter 682: The Thief's Heart Doesn't Die
Although Zhang Yan is old, after all, he is a veteran who has fought for many years, the residual power is still there, and the murderous opportunity is looming, how dare Yang Kui be presumptuous, his face is red, and he retreats to the side, Guan Ping smiled indifferently and stepped forward.
Yang Kui originally wanted to give Guan Ping a dismissal, but he didn't want to be too impatient, but he let himself lose face, and his face turned into the color of pig liver, and he was about to drip blood.
Everyone came to the front of the Juyi Hall, Zhang Yan invited him into the door, but saw Yang Feng lying crookedly in the chair, slightly drunk, and had no intention of getting up to greet him, and his face became more and more gloomy.
Yang Feng asked lazily, "This is Guan Yunchang's son?" ”
Guan Ping saw that the old man was about sixty years old, with a handful of gray goat's whiskers, a black face and thin eyes, and his eyes were gloomy, and he guessed that it was Yang Feng, and when he saw that the other party was arrogant, he only nodded slightly, stood with his hands in his hands, and did not give a salute.
"Exactly!" Zhang Yan gritted his teeth secretly, first invited Guan Ping and the three of them to take a seat, stepped forward to sit on the main seat, and then said: "General Guan is loyal and righteous, everyone in the rivers and lakes admires him, and the green forest is regarded as a model, what does Brother Yang think?" ”
In terms of age and qualifications, Yang Feng is older than Zhang Yan, but Zhang Yan is young and promising, and the latecomers are on top, subduing nearly 100 leaders of the Black Mountain Army, and their prestige and fame are above Yang Feng.
Guan Yu's name is extremely loud in the green forest, and whoever does not respect it is a person who does not pay attention to righteousness.
Yang Feng bowed slightly, nodded and said, "If General Guan is here in person, I will definitely greet him personally." I ate a few more glasses of wine today, and I feel unwell, so I hope you will forgive me. ”
Guan Ping clasped his fists and smiled: "The years are not forgiving, and since the leader is old, he should retire to the rivers and lakes and retire in his old age." ”
"Humph!" Yang Feng's face was slightly gloomy, and he said dissatisfied: "Lao Tzu can live for another twenty years." ”
Kou Feng turned his head and muttered to Hu Ban: "Good people don't live long, and disasters will last for thousands of years!" ”
Yang Feng didn't look old, but he was deaf and clear-sighted, sat up and shouted angrily: "What did you say? ”
"You don't have to argue!" Zhang Yan hurriedly stopped the two sides, ordered people to prepare a banquet, and the leaders sat down in turn, and Zhang Yan introduced them one by one, all of them were unknown people.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Yan asked: "We have been admiring Lingzun's name for a long time, but it's a pity that I am stingy when I see it, I don't know if the little general is here today, what important things to discuss?" ”
Guan Ping took out the letter and handed it over: "My father is in the Yin Garrison, because the King of Han is benevolent, he is unwilling to use the sword soldiers, so he specially ordered to meet the leaders below, and the words from the bottom of my heart are all in the book. ”
Zhang Yan thought that Guan Yu was arrogant, and he must be arrogant in the letter, but Guan Yu did not tell the truth, but admonished as a green forest person, since he is a hero, he should act chivalrous and righteous, hoe the strong and help the weak, and fight against foreigners together, instead of pretending to be a thief, infringing on the people, and losing his identity.
Zhang Yan was greatly moved when she saw it, and handed the letter to her son Zhang Fang behind her, and motioned for everyone to circulate it, and read it to everyone if she didn't know how to read.
Toasted to Guan Ping and said, "I didn't expect General Guan to know my name Zhang Yan!" How fortunate is it to be able to work with General Guan and contribute to the imperial court? ”
Guan Ping said with a smile: "The predecessors did not join the group of thieves back then, and returned to the imperial court, they were originally officials of the imperial court, although they were bewitched by the Cao family, if they can repent of their hearts, they will be heroes!" ”
Zhang Yan said angrily: "In the next year, because of righteousness, I raised troops and fell into the grass, but fortunately I was blessed with the grace of Your Majesty, so that I would not be full of evil." I have heard for a long time that the king of Han is benevolent, and there are princes and marquis who have broken their knots and handed them over, how dare they not know it? ”
He didn't want to be an enemy of the Han army, but now Guan Yu personally wrote a book to advise him, giving him enough face, and he just happened to borrow the donkey from the slope.
Guan Ping saw that Zhang Yan had made a decision, and he didn't want this trip to go so smoothly, so he was about to reply, but he heard Yang Feng snort coldly: "I waited for the army to start the army back then, because of the corruption of the imperial court, and now it is difficult to stand on my own, why should I be oppressed by the imperial court?" ”
"Not bad!" Another leader immediately shouted: "We now have territory, we don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and we are going to kill corrupt officials, local tyrants and bullies, how happy are we?" If you return to the imperial court, you have to farm and pay taxes, and you will be angry with dog officials, and Lao Tzu will not do it! ”
These words touched the hearts of all the leaders, and they shouted for a while, and even the leaders who were originally hesitant were very dissatisfied, and no one wanted to be controlled by the government.
"Shut up!" Zhang Yan said angrily: "Brothers, have you ever thought about it? A thief for one day, a thief for life, although it is good to hide in the mountains, but future generations will not be able to raise their heads for a lifetime. Besides, in the future, King Kuang of the Han Dynasty will support the imperial court, and the world will be peaceful, where will you go? ”
Yang Kui sneered: "The world is so big, where can't I go?" ”
"Don't you hear that the whole world is not the king's land?" Guan Ping said: "What the leaders said is not unreasonable, my father was also forced by the Haojie government back then, so he ended up in the rivers and lakes. But the court has no way, all because of the ten permanent servants, traitorous ministers do evil, now the situation is different, the Han King governs the government well, the people are happy, try to ask Jingzhou, Guanzhong, Jiangnan land, but there are still officials forcing the people to rebel? ”
Yang Feng snorted coldly: "Sooner or later, the government will be the same. ”
Guan Ping shook his head and said: "If the politics are clear and the country is rich and the army is strong, how can the court allow thieves to run rampant?" It is not a long-term solution to occupy the mountain as the king, if it is determined today, foreign tribes will invade the people, at this time, people with a little blood will all come forward to destroy foreign enemies and protect the people. Now is the time for you to change your evil and return to the right, the times create heroes, worship the marquis, seal the wife and the son, isn't it much better than occupying a mountain and being a thief for life? ”
Zhang Yan Huoran got up, hugged his fists and said, "Brothers, General Guan's words can be described as a word. There are not many opportunities left for us to make meritorious contributions, General Guan is chivalrous and courageous, follow him to crusade against the thieves, and the merits will be reversed, and the descendants will also benefit immensely, this is the only chance for everyone to turn over. ”
Those leaders were in a commotion again, Yang Feng glanced at everyone, and said lightly: "General Zhang has looked for the Ming Lord several times, but what is the result?" Since he no longer listened to Cao Wei's orders, everyone dispersed, whoever wants to go will go, Lao Tzu decided to be in the Taihang Mountains and be a villain in the twilight of the dynasty. ”
Zhang Yan said in a deep voice: "Brother Yang, what do you mean by this? ”
Yang Feng tugged at his beard and said slowly: "Everyone has their own ambitions, you are determined to be an eagle dog of the court, and we will not stop you." But if I want to stay in the mountains and live happily, you don't have to be strong, right? ”
"Okay, good ......" Zhang Yan was about to break with Yang Feng, but Guan Ping stopped the two of them, hugged his fists and said: "Captain Yang, my father is very hardworking, I just can't bear to see the people who were also forced by the government with him to suffer another catastrophe, and now he has abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, why are you still obsessed?" ”
Yang Feng didn't answer, but smiled: "I didn't expect that Guan Yunchang's son was actually a person who could speak the Tao." ”
"Needless to say!" Yang Kui got up and said, "Our heroes on Taihang Mountain have always been respected by the strong, if you convince us, it is better to see the truth under your hands." ”
Kou Feng saw that the father and son had been making trouble from it, so he got up and shouted: "It's better than it, I'm afraid that the knife and gun have no eyes, and you can't stand it." ”
Yang Kui laughed and said: "Everyone is begging for a life on the knife edge, life and death!" Could it be that Your Excellency will only play tricks? ”
Guan Ping was ordered to go up the mountain, but he didn't want to just recruit Zhang Yan, so he frowned and said: "It's okay to compete, I'm afraid of hurting the harmony." ”
Yang Feng didn't want to be an enemy of Guan Yu, and said: "Little general, don't blame the dogs for their verbal conflicts, there are really many leaders on the mountain, even if I have the heart to surrender, your brothers will not accept it!" ”
Guan Ping pondered for a moment and asked, "How do you compare the law?" ”
