It is desolate everywhere, with bones on the road, but the city is tall and majestic, and the soldiers and horses are strong and capable. This is a common situation in Guanzhong. The same is true for Gaoling City. The Gaoling City that Yiji saw was very tall, several feet tall.
There were guards guarding the door, and many people were coming in and out one after another. Yi Ji could see at a glance that these people had sallow faces, but at least they were still alive.
"Who is it?" Because Yi Ji and others were riding both horses and carriages, they attracted more attention. As the Yi Ji carriage approached, the guard guarding the gate shouted sharply with a vigilant look on his face.
"I am from Yuzhou. I heard that General Zhang Heng in this city loves beauties, so I specially gathered beauties from all over the country and offered them to General Zhang Heng." Yi Ji was well prepared and calmly got off his horse and raised his fist.
Salute.
"Huh?" One of the soldiers who looked like Du Bo was surprised when he heard this. It is not a rare thing to offer beauties. Some people offer beauties to princes for status, thus gaining trust and status. However, that
They are all great princes, and although their generals are also princes from one side,...[
"Sir, come with me." But after all, it was a gift of beauty, so Uncle Dub didn't dare to neglect and raised his fist in salute.
"Thank you very much." Yi Ji returned the greeting. Immediately, Yi Ji got on his horse, and Du Bo handed over the responsibility of guarding the door to the people below, and personally led Yi Ji into Gaoling City.
The situation in the city was similar to what Yi Ji saw in front of the city gate. The people all looked sallow, which meant that the situation was obviously not good.
Soon, Yi Ji, led by Du Bo, arrived outside Zhang Heng's general's mansion. Looking at the general's mansion, Yi Ji felt a little more confident. As expected, Zhang Heng was very frugal as rumored.
In this General's Mansion, all the wealthy families are mottled, and it is very shabby.
"Sir, please wait a moment while I go to report to the general." After leading Yi Ji to the general's residence, Dubbo saluted.
"Go away, sergeant." Yi Ji returned the greeting. Immediately, Du Bo walked in.
General's Mansion, lobby. Like the mansion, the layout of the lobby is rough and simple, which is very suitable for the status of a military general. Zhang Heng is in his forties and has a majestic face. He started his career by attacking the Yellow Turbans in his early years. At this moment, Zhang Heng is kneeling and sitting in the main hall.
Sitting on his seat, he looked at the person in front of him in great surprise. This person was none other than Dub who led Yi Ji in.
"Tell me, someone wants to donate a beauty to me?" Zhang Heng said, somewhat unconvinced.
"Reporting back to the general, he is indeed the person." Dub said with certainty and saluted.
"Let him come in." Zhang Heng was even more surprised, but it felt good to have someone offering him a beauty, so Zhang Heng said.
"No." Dub promised, turned around and walked out. Not long after, Dub led Yi Ji in.
"The merchant from Yuzhou has met the general." After Yi Ji entered the hall, he immediately saluted Zhang Heng.
"Sir, please excuse me." Zhang Heng raised his hand in a friendly manner and said, and then Zhang Heng said, "I heard that you are here in Gaoling City to present your beauties?"
"Not only is she beautiful, but she is also full of splendor and wealth." Yi Ji stood up with a smile and said.
Zhang Heng is also a rough and fierce warrior, but after being a prince for so many years, he has some ability to dominate an area. Hearing this, he immediately understood the meaning, his face changed slightly, he waved his hand and said to Du Bo next to him: "Go back.
Defend the city."
"No." Uncle Dub didn't doubt that he was there, so he promised.
"Who are you and what do you mean?" After Uncle Dub left, Zhang Heng's expression suddenly became extremely serious and he looked directly at Yi Jidao.
"I am Yi Ji, the Sili Colonel who was conferred by the Emperor of Han Dynasty himself." Yi Ji was very calm and said politely with a smile.[
