Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Lu Bu was mistaken for his father-in-law

Chapter 188 Zhang Wang: Who in the family knows?
Since the Quyuanli and the keel waterwheel were put into use in Xuzhou, Lu Bu spent a lot of effort to fight bandits. Only in this way can the people open up a larger area.

Moreover, beating bandits generally makes some money, so they won't lose money.

That is to say, it took more than a year to clear them up, so that these bandits from Taishan County were stabbed in Lu Bu's ear before they showed off their power.

In the past, Zang Ba and Sun Guan were mostly responsible for fighting bandits. After all, bandits knew bandits best.

And other people are not very interested in this kind of thing.

But this time the discussion was very fierce, everyone rushed to go, and Yan Liangwen was dumbfounded. As for you, there are only more than 2000 bandits in total, good guys, Gao Shun, Wei Yue, Zhang Xiu Xiu, Zhao Yun and others all asked for a fight.

"That's all right, all right, don't fight. If that's the case, call the battalion's centurion and above, and compete in the martial arts arena." Lu Bu waved his hand, looking very impatient.

Yan Liangwenchou was very excited, feeling that his goal of returning to the Northland was getting closer.

When they came to the martial arts arena, hundreds of people had already surrounded them, and the lowest rank among these people was also a centurion.

As a courtesy, Yan Liang was given priority to play, while Gao Shun and Zhang Xiu were vying to be his opponent.

"I come!"

"Let me come!"

"Two, if I go first."

"Zilong? Your martial arts are too weak. Wouldn't it embarrass us if you lose?"

"It's okay, if I lose, then my brother will go up, and it's also my dream to fight against the fierce general of the North Kingdom."

"In this case, let Zilong go first. Although Zilong's martial arts are weaker, he is his brother after all, so give him a chance."

Wen Chou on the side was very puzzled. He fought Zhao Yun a few years ago, and his martial arts are not weak. Is everyone under Lu Bu really so fierce?
Under the attention of everyone, Yan Liang was riding a tall horse, holding a golden back knife, twisting his neck to move his muscles and bones, with a look of eagerness to try.

I've had enough of being aggrieved in Lu Ying these days, and today I'm going to use my golden back saber to open your eyes, in order to correct my name as the general of the Northern Kingdom.

"Zilong, don't worry, I won't hurt you."

Zhao Yun, who was riding the jade lion, smiled slightly and nodded, "Thank you, General Yan."

Such a familiar line, Lin Mo who was standing next to Lu Bu said that your brother Wen Chou also said the same.

"The martial arts begin!"

Following Lu Bu's order, the two rode their horses towards each other, their swords and guns entangled.

Zhao Yun is not Lu Bu, he likes to exercise his muscles and bones first, and when he comes up, he is greeted with dazzling guns and flowers, which instantly fools Yan Liang. Apart from passive defense, he has no chance to launch a decent counterattack.

You call this the weakest martial arts?After the wrong horse, Yan Liang hurriedly adjusted, holding the sword tightly in both hands, not daring to underestimate the enemy any more.

Zhang Xiu, Wei Yue and others in the audience showed sly smiles, unexpectedly, Ba Zilong was actually the best at fighting.

When they confronted again, Yan Liang wielded the golden-backed saber-wielding vigorously, every blow contained the force of breaking rocks, and at the end, the firepower was fully fired, and he didn't dare to hold back, after all, this battle was about his ability to return. To Yuan Shao's side.

But he found that Zhao Yun was really too fierce, with superb marksmanship and impeccable marksmanship. No matter how airtight his attacks were, they were all calmly deflected. It's like hitting the quilt with no strength.

On the other hand, Zhao Yun, the bright silver gun is more than capable, and the attack will always be accompanied by a counterattack. Yan Liang is completely suppressed and unable to use it.

The stormy pear blossom-like offensive made Yan Liang look head-on, as if facing several long spears at the same time, and sometimes even saw an afterimage, and the long spears pierced from tricky to incomprehensible angles.

The superb marksmanship instantly won the applause of the spectators.

Live well, be rewarded!
Damn it, this man is not inferior to his elder brother in martial arts, is he really the weakest general in Lu Ying?
Crying back to complaining, there is no way out, Yan Liang even used his ultimate move, but he couldn't do anything to Zhao Yun.

After only thirty rounds, he was completely at a disadvantage.

Zhao Yun took advantage of the momentum, the Jade Lion pressed on step by step, and the momentum of the Bright Silver Spear wave after wave, and the strength was superimposed.

This. This is knife skill!Didn't he use a gun?Yan Liang, who was beaten and retreated steadily, was a little dazed.

"Zilong is really talented, compared to the last time he competed with me in martial arts, he is like two different people."

Even Lu Bu sighed, "I'm afraid that the future achievements will not be inferior to me."

As far as the current martial arts is concerned, Lu Bu feels that he can still easily overwhelm Zhao Yun, but he is young, not yet 30 years old, and with a few more experiences, there is still room for improvement in strength.

Moreover, after getting along with each other these days, he also understood why Lin Mo dared to confide in Zhao Yun. He has a really good temper, and now he can be regarded as enjoying the treatment of his own family.

In the future, he will surely become the most powerful general in the Lu family's foundation.

Yunwen will indeed pick a helper.

There have been more than 70 rounds of fighting in the martial arts arena. Zhao Yun's silver spear danced like a hedgehog. Yan Liang could only parry, but had no power to fight back.

To be precise, he had already fallen into a disadvantage after the [-]th turn, and there was no suspense after the [-]th turn. It was just the last stubbornness of the general of the Northern Kingdom.

Finally, at the moment of No.80 Qihe wrong horse, Zhao Yun turned back his carbine and pointed at Yan Liang's back.

"Brother, be careful!" Wen Chou exclaimed after being frightened by this blow.

Of course, Zhao Yun put away his gun without hesitation, and there was a hole in Yan Liang's cloak, which was proof of his defeat.

A burst of thunderous applause at the scene marked a successful end to the competition.

After getting off his horse, Yan Liang glanced at Zhao Yun gloomily, and then at Wei Yue, Zhang Xiu and others who cast mocking glances not far away, no longer the arrogance of the past.

"Brother, are you okay?" Wen Chou rushed forward to check up and down.

Yan Liang sighed and shook his head, "Today I know that there is a sky beyond the sky, I lost, brother, this person is very skilled in martial arts, I'm afraid he is even better than you."

As a first-class expert, Wen Chou could of course see that there was a gap between the two of them, and he had no desire to step forward to challenge, so he also let out a sigh.

In the North Kingdom, where there is an invincible existence, Han Fu, Gongsun Zan and other fierce generals meet two people, either dead or injured, what a sight it is.

Unexpectedly, here in Lu Ying, there was no suspense in defeat. The dignity of the generals of the three armies of the Northern Kingdom was rubbed against the ground. For a moment, the two people's hearts were destroyed, and they were speechless in frustration.

It was understandable for the two of them to think so. How did they know that looking at the entire Lu camp, there was only one strong general like Zhao Yun. They really thought that Wei Yue and Zhang Xiu were stronger than Zhao Yun.

Wen Chou patted him on the shoulder, "Brother, Marquis Wen and Marquis Lanling have already treated us with great kindness. If we talk about going back to the North Kingdom, we really don't know how to flatter us."

"My lord, I will try my best in the end. We will not be able to go back to the North Kingdom." Yan Liang's heart sank, he looked to the north, and said his final farewell.

This big scene was not small, but it was worth it. Lu Bu could read the admiration in their eyes, and after that, he would be much more honest.

Or my son-in-law has the means!

Inside the Tianlao in Yingchuan and Xuchang City.

In the pitch-black passage, only a few bowl-sized light beams brought some light, floating dust danced in the light beams, and the rotten smell wafted from the nostrils.

In the depths of the dungeon, Zhang Wang, the county magistrate who was once under one person and above ten thousand people in Wen County, was wearing a white prison uniform, disheveled hair, and wearing shackles, leaning weakly on the wet stone wall, staring blankly at the pitch-black dome, Asking myself what happened.

The well-behaved county magistrate was doing well, and Cao Jun suddenly rushed in and tied him up, saying that he was in collusion with Lu Bu.

It was okay at the beginning, when he arrived in Xuchang, he had delicious food and a good place to live, but he asked himself to write to Lin Mo to coax him to come to Xuchang, and promised that as long as Lin Mo came, he would be the prefect.

That was the prefect, Zhang Wang felt that there must be smoke rising from the ancestral grave, otherwise generations would not have the chance to become the prefect.

How did he know that Lin Mo never received his letter at all, how did he know that because he couldn't deceive Lin Mo, Cao Cao would turn his back on him and throw him into prison, how did he know that Cao Cao would send these jailers to torture him every three days or so Serve yourself.

What he didn't even know was how could the son of his benefactor, who was clearly a pariah, become a force that could dominate the general situation of the Central Plains?
What's more, he didn't know that his son-in-law, whom he had abandoned like a shoe, would be robbed by several princes as if they were treasures.

If he knew, he would have to go from Xiliang to Jiaozhou, not to mention rushing from Wen County to Pengcheng.

Yes, Zhang Wang didn't know, he didn't expect that a single thought of his would have changed the general trend of the world in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Now, I no longer dare to take chances on my future, I only beg Cao Cao to show kindness, and stop letting the prison guards beat me up, I am old, I can't stand it.

"Chunhua, for you, my father has suffered so much, I would have let you marry him if I knew it." Zhang Wang covered his face and wept bitterly, like a child, whose family members don't understand.

Tap, tap.
The footsteps approached from far away, and Zhang Wang was so frightened that he curled up in the corner, trembling.

Come, come, hit me again.

Fortunately, it was only a young Confucian scholar who came, wearing a blue official uniform.

"Master Zhang, are you still used to staying in this prison?" Guo Jia pinched his nose and frowned. This prison smells very bad.

"My lord, my lord, please tell Sikong that I will definitely find a way to invite my nephew to Xuchang, let me out, I can't take it anymore, eh." Zhang Wang crawled out of a dark corner with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

Guo Jia squatted down, leaning on the thick fence, and said with disgust: "If you could have invited him earlier, why would you have to wait until today? Sikong has already ordered you to be executed."

Hearing this, Zhang Wang's body froze, that's it, dying?
Just because I don't want to marry my youngest daughter to a pariah, I'm dying?

"but."

This sound only made Zhang Wang seem to grasp the straw, climbed to the fence, gasped, and waited for Guo Jia to say, "Sima Jiangong wrote to Sikong several times, hoping to save your life. It seems that you and Sima The family has a very close friendship."

"Yes yes yes, I am a disciple of the Sima family, and I have treated Sima Jun like a teacher like a father for many years, and I ask Sikong Nian to spare my life for Sima Jun's sake!"

Although the Sima family is not comparable to the titles of the fourth generation and third princes of the Yuan family in Runan and the Yang family of Hongnong, as a big family in Sili Prefecture, there are many former officials and strong background, which should not be underestimated.

Otherwise, Zhang Wang wouldn't be clinging to this thigh when he was in Wen County, and he would pay a lot of tribute every year.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Zhang family and the Sima family are also considered friends in the past, and their relationship has a long history.

"I heard from Sima Jun that he also recommended Sikong as the captain of Luoyang Beibu, please spare my life." Seeing that Guo Jia didn't respond, Zhang Wang hurriedly continued to beg for mercy.

"That alone won't save your life."

Guo Jia patted the fence, and glanced at the other side with disgust, "How about this, since you are so familiar with the Sima family, I'll let you go back to Wen County first, but you still have to do something for Sikong on this trip.

If the matter is done, not only will you be spared the death penalty, but you will also be reinstated as an official. "

Hearing this, Zhang Wang bowed his head, "Thank you Sikong, thank you Sikong, please show me what you want me to do, I can do anything!"

Zhang Wang is no longer interested in the reinstatement of officials, as long as he escapes from this ghost place quickly, he will be thankful not to be beaten every now and then.

Guo Jia beckoned to Zhang Wang, motioning him to step forward.

When he had to explain the task clearly, Zhang Wang showed embarrassment, "Although Mr. Sima has friendship with villains, I'm afraid he might not be willing."

"In that case, I'll take my leave first." Guo Jia got up before he finished speaking.

"Don't, don't, it will happen, this thing will happen, even if I kneel at the door of Sima's house and ask them to agree, please don't worry, Sikong, please don't worry, my lord." I have to do it.

Guo Jia, who squatted down again, looked around quietly, "How long?"

"After all, this matter will make the Sima family difficult. I'm afraid they won't be able to agree for a while. A year, a villain will be able to do it within a year!" Zhang Wang is not stupid. On the contrary, he has been working in Wen County for so many years. The county magistrate is still very thorough, he knows that this matter itself is not difficult.

The rare thing is that once this matter is done, it is tantamount to tying the Sima family to Cao Cao's chariot. Sima Fang may not do this for himself.

No matter how much you beg, it still takes time to operate.

"One year."

Guo Jia pursed his lips and thought for a while, but after thinking about it, even if the Sima family intervenes, it will take time, and it will not be done in a day, so he finally nodded and said: "Okay, within a year, after the matter is settled, you can do it." Rest easy, otherwise, Sikong asked me to tell you that your entire Zhang family will have to pay for it."

The Zhang family is not a wealthy family. With Cao Cao's current status, it is really not difficult to destroy his entire family.

Zhang Wang also knew that he had caused a big trouble, but he had no other choice right now, so he could only kowtow again feebly, "I will definitely fulfill my mission."

Guo Jia is gone, there is no extra nonsense.

Zhang Wang was leaning limply on the fence, crying.

"Regret, I really regret that, if I hadn't gone to Pengcheng that day, I'm afraid I'd be the prefect of one side today, why would I be beaten all day long in the prison.

Nephew, why are you so cruel? I just missed it. I have written letters several times, and Chunhua is willing to promise you, but he still refuses to accept it."

He still couldn't figure it out that a little Lin Mo would push the matter to such an extent, and now even involve the Sima family.

The only hope is that the Zhang family can get through this hurdle safely.
