In the afternoon of June, a bright white sun hung scorchingly in the western sky, cloudless.
The ground was seared and cracked with shocking holes. The world was like a huge steamer, and even the lush vegetation beside the road was withered.
On the road, dozens of knights in uniforms with a dusty complexion walked slowly northward under the scorching sun. Although they all looked very strong, they were also listless due to the power of heaven and earth. Apart from walking with their heads lowered, they did not make any sound.
sound.
Suddenly there was a clear sound of wild geese in the sky, and a group of wild geese flew north in a line. Perhaps these wild geese were frightened by the scorching sun, or perhaps they were looking for a place to perch at dusk. They flew not very high, and the distance was
There are about a hundred steps on the ground.
Among the knights in the forefront, a burly young man dressed as an officer suddenly pressed the horse's head. He took off the carved bow from the side of the saddle, and four wolf-tooth feather arrows were attached to the bow string like lightning. The bow was like a full moon. I don't know how he aimed.
Four clusters of arrows shot towards the flock of geese like meteors chasing the moon. In a moment, several sad geese calls sounded in the air, and the four geese fell into the dust!
"My lord's magic arrow!" Everyone cheered in unison, and a few good-spirited knights whistled, clamped their horses under the belly, and left the team to find the prey.
Another officer in the lead, a man in his thirties, was about to admire him, but the burly young man's archery performance was not over yet. He shot three arrows in a row between lightning and flint, shooting down three geese, and then plucked the bow string several times.
, three more wild geese unexpectedly fell down!
If the three arrows fired in unison and downed the three geese just now had amazed everyone, now, everyone in the group was stunned!
After a long time, the officer in his thirties was the first to react, stroking his palms and exclaiming: "Wen Yuan is a great shooter, he is no less generous than the late Air Force General Li Guang!"
Wenyuan? That's right, this man's surname is Zhang Mingliao, courtesy name Wenyuan, from Mayi, Yanmen. He was famous during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty. He defeated Sun Quan's 100,000-strong army in Xiaoyaojin with 800 warriors, which made the children in Wuzhong dare not
The Wei general who cried at night, Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan!
However, he is not exactly Zhang Wenyuan. In other words, he has the body of Zhang Liao, but his soul comes from that era more than 1,800 years later!
His name is Zhang Wenyuan, but his parents didn’t dare to name him Zhang Liao. He was originally a young man in his twenties, just because he loved to play the Three Kingdoms game, but he unexpectedly ended up "wearing" this passionate person by accident.
The era of Zhang is coming!
"It's not bad! At least we've become popular," Zhang Wenyuan chuckled in a somewhat triumphant manner. He had the same name and surname, which made him feel particularly friendly. In the future, he would be a general of Wei State, and he was not defeated by the enemy in the end.
Cutting off the head would be a good result, but if I had traveled through time with my previous surname of Cao, I wonder if it would be... (Author's note: Don't get it wrong, it will definitely not be Cao Teng!)
Originally, Zhang Wenyuan shot wild geese just for the purpose of beating the teeth and testing his archery skills that he had practiced hard for more than a year during this time travel. At the end, he suddenly had a thought and wanted to see if the allusion of the frightened bird was true.
Several frightened geese fell down in shock.
"What?" The middle-aged officer was more than seven feet tall, with a slightly dark complexion and a slightly thin face, but a tough look. Although his eyes were not very big, they were very majestic. After hearing Zhang Wenyuan's inexplicable answer,
Touching the two short beards on the upper jaw, he was in a daze.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Zhang Wenyuan said perfunctorily with a squinted smile, cursing himself in his heart. It has been more than a year since he was so stupid. He was just appointed as a prefectural official from Yanmen County by Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou.
At that time, although I had roughly adapted to this era, the spoken language from that time in my previous life still came out of my mouth sometimes.
I remember when I first arrived in this era and found out that I had become Brother Liao, Wen Yuan, who had always liked the Three Kingdoms, was excited for a long time!
But half a day later, the cruelty of the troubled times came head-on. There were barbarians plundering outside, exorbitant taxes inside, and the people were impoverished and lacked food and clothing. Although Zhang Liao's family was a big family in Yanmen, not only did they eat millet every day, but they also had no computers and no money.
In the novel, there is not even a toilet, and you have to squat in a pit to go to the toilet. Zhang Wen, who was once a great senior otaku, suffered for a month before he reluctantly accepted the reality. On weekdays, he could only pass the time by practicing martial arts.
Zhang Liao's physical martial arts skills were already good, and he was soon recruited as a servant under Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou. When he met Lu Bu, the most powerful man in the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Wenyuan was excited again.
Zhang Wenyuan was full of thoughts about attracting Fengxian by opening up the halo of the protagonist, but unfortunately Lu Bu’s eyes were too high, and no one was interested in him. Wenyuan secretly made up his mind: "You are a slave with a third surname, I will make you kneel one day."
Wagging at my feet and begging for mercy!"
After leading troops in Bingzhou for a full year, unknowingly it was already 189. In this year, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, who used the imperial court as a vegetable market, finally caught a cold. General He Jin took advantage of the situation and recruited troops from various states and counties to enter Luoyang in order to eradicate
Eunuch! (The author also takes this as his ambition.)
Ding Yuan was ordered to take Lu Bu, Wen Yuan, Zhang Yang, and Gao Shun to the capital. Wen Yuan stared with red eyes and held a sword, shouting loudly: "Support the whole book, eradicate the eunuchs!" At that time, he wanted to rush into the palace.
Several eunuchs were hacked to death.
Unexpectedly, he was sent to Hebei by Butcher He without even seeing the eunuch's hair. Butcher He was really stupid. Not only did he recruit soldiers from various states and counties to Beijing, he also sent Zhang Liao, Wang Kuang, Bao Xin,
Zhang Yang and others went out to recruit troops, fearing that their hundreds of thousands of troops would not be able to kill a few eggless men.
"When a man lives in troubled times, how can he not kill a few eunuchs!"
Wen Yuan was still brooding about not being able to fulfill his wish, but thinking about his mission to the north and what he saw along the way, he became serious again. He squinted and said to the officer: "Uncle Zhi, this time you and I
On the orders of General Ding and Ding Yuan, I went north to recruit troops and eradicate the eunuchs. The task was long and arduous. My brother was in Shangdang. I went to Hebei. I didn’t know when we would see each other. This place is only more than 200 miles away from Hanoi County. From then on,
We will go our separate ways tomorrow. My brother and I will be separated tomorrow. We will find a place to stay tonight and we two brothers will have a drink and say goodbye!"
"Okay! Wen Yuan and I will get drunk today! See you in Luoyang City in the future!" Zhang Yang, also known as Uncle Zhi, the middle-aged officer who walked side by side with Zhang Liao, said with a heroic smile, but he is the heaviest robe in the army.
Friendship, no matter how heroic he was talking about, Zhang Wenyuan glanced secretly and saw the mist looming in his eyes.
As dusk approached, a group of knights set up camp by a river, and their men were busy making fire and cooking.
The rice is coarse corn rice, but after living here for more than a year, Zhang Wenyuan does not find it difficult to swallow. The two of them sat opposite each other, each with a pot of cooked whole geese in front of them. There was less meat and more people, so this was
The leading figures in the army each received one. As for the soldiers under his command, they were very long, and officers such as corps commanders could also get some. Those soldiers were very grateful to Zhang Wenyuan for being able to share some of the meaty broth.
But the wine is good rice wine. There is a large jar of it. It was pulled out of a large abandoned house when passing by a dilapidated village that was picked up by thieves two days ago. It has been a few years, so the wine sergeants naturally don’t have to think about it.
Yes, Zhang Wenyuan and Zhang Wenyuan were reluctant to drink more in the past two days. It was not until they were about to part ways today that they decided to drink more.
Apart from that, there were no other dishes on the table for the two of them. After setting up camp, some of their men went to look for some wild vegetables nearby. However, it happened to be a famine year. There were not only wild vegetables within hundreds of miles around, but also turf and tree roots.
Hard to find.
Therefore, this meal can be regarded as a rare meal since leaving Beijing!
This is how soldiers eat food, and the life of the common people of the Han Dynasty can be seen from this. As Cao Cao said in "Hao Li Xing", white bones are exposed in the wild, and there are no roosters crowing for thousands of miles. There are hundreds of people who have left one thing, and the thought of it will break the heart of a person.[
Whenever he thought of this, Zhang Wenyuan couldn't help but sigh. He picked up the wine bowl and said to Zhang Yang: "Come on, brother Zhizhu, do it!"
Without further ado about the wine conversation, the two of them drank until their glasses were dry, and soon the whole jar of wine was drained. Although they were not happy, they had no choice but to help each other leave the table and sleep under the same tent.
In the afternoon of the next day, a group of people walked to the foot of Hanoi City. Zhang Wenyuan did not enter the city, so he and Zhang Yang said goodbye under the South Gate Suspension Bridge.
"Wenyuan, take care of yourself all the way. It's a long way from Wenyuan to Hebei. If you have any difficulties, please send someone to deliver a letter. I will try my best to help!" When leaving, Zhang Yang's voice was loud and he slapped Zhang Wenyuan's shoulders heavily.
He didn't reveal anything strange, but Zhang Wenyuan clearly felt that his palms used to holding swords and guns were trembling slightly!
"Brother, take care! Don't worry about me. I'll have a drink with you in Luoyang City in the future!" Zhang Wenyuan gave Zhang Yang a bear hug! He was so affectionate that he didn't say anything, then he got on his horse and led his men.
More than twenty riders galloped toward the northeast.
He turned around and walked away without saying much to Zhang Yang. Everyone has his own way, as is Zhang Yang, and so is Zhang Liao. Although he has Zhang Liao's body, he has already set a goal since he occupied this body.
He will never make the same mistake as Zhang Liao. At least he will not recruit troops in Hebei and then obediently run back to Luoyang and become a member of the national thief Dong Zhuo, because he knows that in less than three months, General He will be eunuch and trapped.
, not long after that, Ding Yuan, who had been kind to him, would be betrayed and killed by his adopted son.
Zhang Wenyuan had a general understanding of Zhang Liao's life. Although he had great military exploits throughout his life, his white jade was slightly flawed and he was forced to rely on Dong Zhuo and surrender to Lu Bu. This was the only stain in his life. He was a thief who stole the country and betrayed his master. Since this life is left to me
If you become Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, you will never let this happen again in history!
Therefore, in Zhang Wenyuan's mind, a reunion in Luoyang is definitely impossible. What Zhang Wenyuan thought of at this time was to take the opportunity of recruiting troops in Hebei, like Zhang Yang behind him, who encountered bandits and delayed his trip, and was finally promoted to Shangdang
Just like the prefect, when the news of Ding Yuan's death in He Jin spread throughout the world, Zhang Liao could justifiably find a place to station himself, instead of being on Dong Zhuo's wretched ship, which was so perverse and made people angry.
As for the future, Zhang Wenyuan hasn't thought about it yet. Living in troubled times, preserving life is the most important thing. Of course, he also wants to be a high official and well-paid, and he also wants to be surrounded by beautiful women. He just has to eat one bite at a time, and he doesn't dare to think about his own life.
It will definitely go that far. But the first step, Wen Yuan has already decided, is not to return to Luoyang, but to try his best to establish his own foundation in Hebei!
