Because the news was too closed a while ago, Xiang Lang was naturally shocked when he suddenly heard Wei Yan's abrupt statement, and he didn't know how to respond.

Fortunately, he immediately realized that he had no right to decide this matter, so he immediately asked Zhuang Ke to invite Wei Yan to sit for a while, and then hurriedly entered and told Huang Chengyan about the situation.

When Huang Chengyan heard this, he was also surprised. After calming down, he brushed his hair and thought to himself:

"Originally, I didn't go to Wuchang for a long time, in order to wait and see again, and to avoid irritating Brother Jingsheng. As a result, there was such an accident, but it was like an arrow on the bow and had to go.

Wei Tunchang has already revealed his desire to defect, once we refuse or delay, after the news leaks, he will inevitably be liquidated by Zhang Yun. That would be like King Xiang harming Cao Wu, it would hurt the name of the general of the chariot cavalry.

However, he walked like this, and he still abducted the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army who abducted the two tuns to 'abandon the darkness and turn to the light' together, but he was afraid that it would hurt Brother Jingsheng's face too much, which would further lead to tension between him and the general of the Che Cai, and it would not be conducive to the follow-up cause of the thief.

Maybe it's better for me to leave a letter in the village after I leave, and leave a few more Zhuang guests who are ready to be dismissed. A day or two later, when Brother Jingsheng found out that we had broken through and left, he would naturally send someone to look for us, and when the time came, he would read the letter, hoping to dissipate his anger. ”

Huang Chengyan thought that the problem was really much more serious than Xiang Lang, and he took care of all aspects.

So he said just do it, and immediately picked up the pen and wrote a text message to Liu Biao, the content of which was nothing more than that:

"We did not intend to disobey the order to close the river and say goodbye and damage the pastoral law of Jingzhou. It is really unpopular with this law, the people of Jingzhou are full of complaints, and the soldiers are centrifuged, and we can't ignore the lives of the people who come to invest and seek false fame, so they leave secretly to save some face for both sides. Only make Jun think about it carefully, make peace with the general as soon as possible, and fight the national disaster together. ”

After finishing writing, Huang Chengyan cleaned up again, followed Wei Yan and others early the next morning, and sat directly on the two ships of the navy patrolling the river, and swaggered away.

……

From Xiangyang to Wuchang, it was still very fast to go down the Han River, and after only three days and two nights, Wei Yanbu, who used both sails and oars, arrived in Wuchang smoothly.

They themselves are the sailors responsible for patrolling the river and sealing the river, and they happened to be on duty on the day they left. Of course, the guards will not be intercepted, and the whole process is very safe.

However, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were quite surprised, because the other party came at full speed, and they didn't have time to send messengers in advance, so Liu Bei naturally couldn't go to Wuchang Wharf to greet them.

Huang Chengyan landed at the wharf before someone hurried back to the city to report the news. Liu Bei hurriedly got into the carriage, slowly put on his shoes, and when he arrived at the city gate, Huang Chengyan, Xiang Lang, and Wei Yan had already arrived.

"Huang Gong, don't come unharmed! It's been a long day's work! Liu Bei greeted him with a spring breeze on his face, looking at his ruddy face, in fact, he didn't know that there were guests that night, so he drank too much while watching the song and dance.

Huang Chengyan and Liu Bei met and immediately helped to introduce: "This Xiang Lang Xiang Juda, a native of Yicheng County, Xiangyang, and one of Mr. Shuijing's senior disciples, has only been delayed until now because he needs to refuse Liu Jingzhou's expedition first.

These two Matun chiefs and Wei Tun chiefs are also from Xiangyang Yicheng County and Nanyang Yiyang County respectively, and they were originally assigned by Liu Jingzhou to Huang Zu and Zhang Xiu respectively. After the fall of Huang Zu and the surrender of Zhang Xiu to Cao, he was reassigned to Zhang Yun's department.

Seeing that Zhang Yun was perverse, looting and accumulating, and harming the people, he was unwilling to serve the Jingzhou army anymore. When we were intercepted by the blocked river, we had a relationship with them, and knew that we were coming to Wuchang, so we took the initiative to join the effect and abandon the darkness and turn to the light. ”

Finally, Huang Chengyan introduced several other disciples of Pang Degong who followed, but they were all unnamed in the history books, so there is no need to repeat them one by one. After all, Sima Hui and Pang Degong received so many apprentices, and not everyone could become an official in the end and leave their names, and there were always some miscellaneous fish mixed in.

Liu Bei doesn't look at people by their reputation, and they all offer kind condolences one by one.

Wei Yan is the most apprehensive of everyone, he comes from a humble background, he is not a scholar, he completely relies on coming out to be a soldier at a very young age, and after a few years of hard work, he slowly climbed to the grassroots officer, lest he be looked down upon by Liu Bei.

You must know that the tun chief can only lead 100 people, and Wei Yan, the tun chief, is still Zhang Xiu's surrender to Cao, and he has just been promoted, and it has not been two months. It was Liu Biao who used grace to entrap those Nanyang soldiers who did not follow Zhang Xiu to Cao Cao, and further on, people like Wei Yan could only bring dozens of soldiers.

And Liu Bei on the other side, that is the general of the chariot cavalry! It ranked third among all the generals of the Han Dynasty, second only to the general Yuan Shao and the hussar general Cao Cao.

So much so that when Wei Yan opened his mouth to defend himself and explain his intentions, he was a little trembling when he spoke.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang also saw that the young man was nervous, and finally Zhuge Liang diverted the topic and eased the atmosphere: "Wei Tunchang looks very young, he won't be younger than me, how old is he?" ”

Wei Yan hurriedly bowed his head: "How dare you compare with Zhuge Mansion Jun...... Next...... I'm only eighteen this year, and I've been in the army for four years. It was when Zhang Ji went out of Wuguan and fought with Liu Jingzhou for the city, he was recruited by Liu Jingzhou in Nanyang on the spot. ”

Wei Yan in the romance was described as debuting very early, giving people the illusion that "it seems that when Liu Biao was not dead, Wei Yan already had a high status in the Jingzhou army".

But Wei Yan in the official history had just emerged until Liu Bei occupied Jingnan and was preparing to plot to enter Sichuan, and he was the most basic officer before. In terms of age, he should be younger than Zhuge Liang, and he belongs to the late general.

Otherwise, after Wuzhangyuan in history, Wei Yan would not feel that he should take over Zhuge Liang's class to continue the Northern Expedition, because he had long felt that he was younger and lived longer than the prime minister.

At this moment, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were also surprised to hear that he was only eighteen. At this age, he is two years younger than Zhuge Liang, and if he pushes it back, was he actually pulled Zhuang Ding to be a soldier at the age of fourteen? The first time he participated in the war, was when Zhang Ji was shot and killed by Liu Biao's defenders in the Battle of Qicheng?

In such troubled times, when other princes invaded, pulling troops was really exhausted, and he was going to go to the battlefield at such a young age.

Liu Bei patted Wei Yan on the shoulder: "I didn't expect to be so young, I have four years of military experience, but you can't fight a war with bravery alone."

Since I came to Wuchang, in my spare time for military affairs, I also had to go to the school palace to borrow books for self-study, read some practical lessons from my predecessors, and find someone to ask for advice if I don't understand it, which will be of great benefit. ”

Wei Yan didn't expect that the general of the Che Cavalry could encourage himself personally, so he hurriedly thanked him and agreed first.

He was actually suspicious in his heart, for example, he didn't understand what it was like to go to the school palace to borrow books and teach himself, and was there still a place in the world where people could borrow books? Aren't you afraid of losing it? Can someone else help answer questions?

But Wei Yan's status is low, and he doesn't dare to ask Liu Bei himself immediately if he has any questions, but he doesn't manage and don't understand, so he forcibly writes it down first, and then goes back to find other people with lower status to ask secretly.

It is impossible for Liu Bei to stare at Wei Yan alone, after all, there are so many people today, so everyone said a few words, and then ordered Ke Cao's people to take over and settle down.

When Liu Bei arrived, he just casually assigned everyone's official positions: Xiang Lang had already said that he would be a Wuchang County Cheng for a while, and then adjust his performance in the future.

Wei Yan came out of nowhere, he has only been the head of the tun for two months, and he is only eighteen years old, so he will not be promoted for the time being, and will be retained in his original position first. The dozens of Jingzhou soldiers he brought with him also continued to follow Wei Yan and kept the establishment and did not disperse.

Wei Yan's tun, temporarily assigned to the Ganning Army, there is no war at present, let Wei Yan go to the school palace to participate in a few months of "literacy class", while he is still young, he knows more words as soon as possible, and ensures that all the official documents in the army can be understood by himself, and there is no need to find someone to ask for words, and the history of other art of war will be slowly improved in the future.

Wei Yan listened to this arrangement and was grateful, he also knew that whether he was promoted or not was not the most important thing at present, and he was willing to make arrangements for his learning and growth, indicating that he had expectations, and he must seize the opportunity.

……

After receiving the wind and settling down, a few days later, Wei Yan Xianglang first went to the Wuchang School Palace, which had just been created recently, to adapt to the environment.

At this time, compared to the first time Sima Hui and others came, it was almost a month later, and the Xuegong Library, which was still building a house at the beginning, has finally completed the first building. The surrounding diversion ditches are still being excavated, and the water from the Yangtze River branch canal that flows into Liangzi Lake from Xiakou has not been brought in, and the diversion is blocked by a cofferdam.

The first batch of dozens of wooden bookshelves has been moved into the library, and because the building has a high ceiling to ensure daylight, the bookshelves are also made high, saving wasted space.

The whole building, with bookshelves in the middle, and a whole circle of windows on the periphery is a reading area, tables and chairs, so that the bookshelves can avoid blocking the sunlight, make full use of natural lighting, and protect the eyesight of readers.

Each shelf can be more than a foot high, and there are seven or eight layers of books stacked up and down.

When Wei Yan and Xiang Lang walked into the library for the first time, they were shocked by the solemn appearance in front of them, and a heart of worship and learning arose spontaneously.

"How can you get the top two layers of books on such a high shelf? Does it have to be a giant with a foot tall? Wei Yan couldn't help but think crankily when he looked at the oppressive bookshelf height.

Fortunately, he quickly cleared up the doubts in his heart by observing others. In the distance, a caretaker pushes a ladder with four wheels at the bottom and sloping wooden steps on both sides, and when he reaches the point where he wants to pick up and place the book, he climbs up the mobile ladder to get it.

As soon as Wei Yan saw this kind of ladder that he had never seen before, he felt very professional, and further felt that the knowledge contained in the collection of books here must be extraordinary.

"The Che Cavalry General was able to personally persuade me to study and make me study last night, and this opportunity cannot be wasted. In the past few months, while there has been no war, you must recognize all the commonly used words! When the time comes, if someone asks me again, let them see my progress! ”

Wei Yan plucked up his courage and went to the administrator who picked up the library to ask for advice: "Dare to ask this gentleman...... I don't know what to do when reading books in this library? I just came to vote yesterday, and Zhuge Fujun also encouraged me to learn more......"

The librarian here is actually Yin Mo and Li Ren, the assistant teachers next to Sima Hui, and the library building has only been built at present, so that the two of them can take turns to manage it first, and then slowly improve the management system, and it is Yin Mo who is on duty today.

Yin Mo didn't look like a scholar when he looked at Wei Yan, but he didn't make it difficult, he just said officially: "But all good families, those who have a clear note, can enter the library to read by themselves, but after reading, they must be put back in their original places, and what is written on this shelf."

Scholars who do not have a county registration symbol need to go to the school palace to register and review the origin, and then they can enter the library to read. Now that there are fewer people, you can just read it directly, and if there are many people, you will have to queue up to register, and you will be told which day it will be your turn to enter the museum.

As for borrowing, all the civil and military officers under the command of the Cheqi General, Yangzhou Mu, and Jiangxia Taishou can enter the library to borrow books with their tokens, according to the rank of the product, and the number of borrowings is different, and the accounts will be registered, and the old books can be repaid before they can be borrowed. ”

When Wei Yan heard this, he asked a little embarrassedly: "I'm just a tun chief under General Gan...... Possibility to borrow? ”

Yin Mo: "The tun chief is the lowest level allowed to borrow, and he can only borrow one volume, and he has to keep accounts, and he can only borrow again after paying it off." ”

Wei Yan said that he first borrowed a volume of "Erya" to eliminate illiteracy, and then took another volume of "Zuo Chuan", and sat directly in the museum to watch.

He had never read Zuo Biography at all, so he could only start from scratch from "Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan".
