Chapter 421: Tiger of Pingyang
Wu Nian became interested.
It's not about having a bad temper, it's just about not having the ability.
A thousand armies are easy to get, but a general is hard to find.
Of course, loyalty is still needed. If you get a second or fifth son, Xiong Wuwo or Meng Yuan, Goguryeo sends a spy over, and you will surrender after being seduced.
Then this kind of general is useless.
"Speak out and listen." Wu Nian exhaled, straightened his posture, and said seriously.
"This man's name is Feng Chong, he is twenty-eight years old this year. He was originally from Chudu, and has been a general of Chudu for generations. He is good at using a Zhangba sword, is proficient in bow and horse, and has the courage of thousands of men. He joined the army at the age of sixteen and was honored as the commander-in-chief.
flag."
"But ten years later he was still a general bannerman. So he resigned angrily, took his family to Liaodong, and lived in seclusion in the mountains. Because he had little contact with outsiders, his existence was rarely known."
When Ding Zhong said this, he sighed with a look on his face. He shook his head and said: "The last general met him by chance. He was beaten by him because of his rude words."
He lowered his head slightly, showing a look of resentment, as if recalling that unhappy time.
"Have you been beaten? Are you subdued?" Wu Nian became more interested. Although Ding Chong is inconspicuous among the six hundred households of the heavy armored cavalry, they still have the combat power of a thousand captains among ten thousand Han households.
.
Anyone who can defeat him must be very skilled in martial arts.
"Why hasn't he been promoted in ten years? Is it because he has a bad temper?" Although Wu Nian was asking, his tone was firm.
"He didn't say the reason. But I also guessed that it was because he was arrogant and unsocial." At this point, Ding Zhong sighed and said: "Even if a wise king rules the world, talented people may not be able to stand out. What's more,
Emperor Daojun is now sitting in the Dragon Court. Feng Chong has such a bad temper that no matter how talented he is, he will never be promoted."
Wu Nian probably understood, and a smile appeared on his face.
Being proud and arrogant will lead to unrecognized talents.
Let’s not talk about whether this man named Feng Chong has the ability to command his heavy armored cavalry. Even if they are gathered together to become an ordinary Qianhu, it will be beneficial to Beishan Fort.
"Where is he living in seclusion?" Wu Nian stood up, twisted his waist with his hands on his hips, and asked.
"On a mountain about thirty-two miles southwest." Ding Chong realized it immediately, stood up and bowed to salute.
"It's still within the confines of the Nine Forts. Not bad. This way, safety is guaranteed. Ding Baihu, you come with me. I'll go meet this proud and arrogant person for a while."
After Wu Nian stretched his muscles, he stood still with his head held high and his chest high, and said calmly.
"Yes." Ding Zhong bent down in response and went down to prepare.
Soon after, Wu Nian took Ding Chong back to the Beishan Fort, added an additional soldier from a hundred households as a guard, plus heavy baggage vehicles, etc., and headed southwest.
The next afternoon.
Wu Nian, who had walked dozens of miles on the mountain road, finally arrived at the foot of the mountain where Feng Chong lived in seclusion. He raised his head and looked at the mountain in front of him, and asked: "What's famous about this mountain?"
"Originally there was no name. Feng Chong gave it a name, called Pingyang Mountain." Ding Zhong shook his head and got off his horse. He walked a dozen steps forward and pulled at a dusty stone tablet, revealing [Pingyang Mountain].
】Three words.
"Tiger falling in peace?!" Wu Nian raised his eyebrows. Although he hadn't seen Feng Chong in person yet, he could already feel the strong sense of pretentiousness.
What kind of character would call the place where he lives in seclusion [Pingyang]?
"Go up the mountain." Wu Nian got off his horse and left some of his soldiers to guard the heavy baggage vehicle. He took Ding Chong and some of his soldiers along the rugged path and headed up the mountain.
When he was halfway up the mountain, Wu Nian heard the sound of rushing water. Under the leadership of Ding Chong, he took a fork in the road and went around to the back of the mountain.
Behind the mountain suddenly opened up, dozens of acres of mountain fields were planted with crops. A small mountain stream flowed straight down from the field, dividing the mountain field into two halves.
In a corner, there is a building complex. You can hear the voices of people and livestock.
"The Feng family has been a general for generations. Although the family is not prosperous, there are many domestic slaves. When Feng Chong left Chudu, he sold his land but kept his domestic slaves."
"Most of the people living here are his domestic slaves. Many of them can dance with guns and sticks and are good soldiers."
Ding Zhong turned his head and said to Wu Nian.
"Who? Oh, it turns out to be Ding Dalang. Are you coming to drink with our master?" Wu Nian and his party attracted the attention of the people on the mountain. Four people came over, and one of them, a square-faced man, smiled at Ding Chong.
The other three people were full of vigilance. Although Ding Zhong was an acquaintance, the others were not. Moreover, Wu Nian and others were well built and had a murderous look in their brows, so they knew at a glance that they were not easy to mess with.
"It's me." Ding Chong nodded towards the square-faced man, then bent down to introduce Wu Nian and said: "This is Wu Gong, the general who assisted the Han Dynasty. I am now working as a cavalry member under Wu Gong's account."
"I heard there is a hero on the mountain. I, Wu Nian, have always respected heroes, so I came here to visit." Wu Nian clasped his fists and said straightforwardly.
All four people were shocked.
Now in the Liaodong territory, Wu Nian's name can be said to be known to everyone.
Such a big shot actually came to our Pingyang Mountain? They soon realized what was happening, and their brows showed joy.
This is great.
Could it be that our master is finally going to let the tigers leave Pingyang and roar in the mountains and forests?
"It turns out to be General Wu. Our master is meditating in the pavilion. General, please come with me." The square-faced man was very enthusiastic and bent down to salute.
Another man hugged Wu Nian, turned around and walked along the path.
"Thank you." Wu Nian said politely with clasped fists, and then followed the square-faced man, leading a large group of people along the path to a pavilion built on a stone platform at the end of the road.
In the pavilion, a strong man in black is sitting cross-legged. The man who left just now is bending down and saying something in the strong man's ear.
The strong man opened his eyes and looked at Wu Nian.
People have momentum.
The strong are different.
When Wu first met Zhang Jin, Zhang Jin praised him as a hero.
When Wu Nian looked at the strong man and met the strong man's gaze, he also thought to himself: "Ding Zhong is not bragging, this person is really not an ordinary person."
The strong man is Feng Chong.
He has a Chinese character face, a dignified appearance, skin as black as charcoal, and an extremely strong figure. The muscles hold up his clothes, giving people a strong oppressive force.
"But the warrior Feng Chong? This is Wu Nian from Beishan Fort. I heard about the warrior's name and came here to visit." Wu Nian was very polite, clasping his fists and bending down.
"So you are Wu Nian, and you do have some momentum. But compared to your name of Liaodong Tiger, you are far behind."
"I'm so disappointed."
Feng Chong said.
Ding Chong showed a resentful look. This guy had a bad temper and never had anything nice to say when he opened his mouth. The soldiers around Wu Nian were so angry that their lungs were about to explode. They pressed the hilts of their swords on the spot and prepared to attack.
As soon as the general gave the order, they would pounce on Feng Chong and chop him into pieces.
