The Hidden Dragon
It was said that Wu Jun subdued Dian Wei and burned down the mountain stronghold at Mount Mangdang. After dismissing the bandits, he led his men to Lujiang River. They passed through Xiyang, Yingshui River, Yingshang, and Huaihe River at the mouth of Anfeng Jinjin. Along the way, they passed Hefei and Shiting. After about a month of long-distance travel, they finally arrived at Lujiang County in Jiangnan. It was already the middle of November, 189 AD. It was already winter. Although the winter in Jiangnan was not as cold as that in Hebei, everyone could clearly feel a gust of cold air attacking them.
When everyone had just entered the territory of Lujiang, Wu Jun asked Gao Shun to bring a few brothers back to the city to inform his father, Lujiang Prefecture Governor Wu Shuo, Military Advisor Tian Feng, and the others. At the very least, they had to arrange temporary accommodation for everyone. Wu Jun clearly realized that the refugees in Lujiang were much fewer than in other places along the way. This was probably due to the governor of Lujiang. Ten years ago, Wu Shuo resigned from the capital and returned to his hometown to become the prefect of Lujiang. He was honest and diligent in government affairs. He issued a series of policies and decrees that were beneficial to agriculture and commerce in Lujiang City, managing the territory of Lujiang in an orderly manner. Most of the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Lujiang, the " land of fish and rice ", attracted many merchants from Jiangdong. Although the current Lu River was not as prosperous as Luoyang, it could still be considered one of the wealthier prefectures in the Great Han.
Wu Junqian counted on his fingers. It had been ten years since he left his parents at the age of ten and followed his master to the Holy Mountain of Hebei Province to learn martial arts. He wondered how his parents were doing. They should be over fifty years old. He did not know how his parents had endured these years without their son. They should miss each other as much as he did, although they had been exchanging letters all these years. He wondered how Xiu-Er looked like. She should be nineteen years old this year. This number one beauty in the history of the Three Kingdoms should be as slim and charming as Yan-Er and Yu-Er. Time and tide waited for no man. When Wu Jun thought of this, he could not help but feel a little emotional. He blurted out,"I left home when I was young and returned when I was old. My accent has changed, but my hair has not faded." The child did not know each other when he saw him, so he asked with a smile where the guest had come from. Traveling in music and books, through winter and spring. Recently, I am more afraid of my hometown and dare not ask for help.”
Cai Yong, who was sitting in the carriage, saw Wu Jun's poetic interest and could not help but say,"Since Jun 'er is in such an elegant mood, this old man will also casually compose a poem,' Train your remaining heart, immerse it in the purity, cleanse the filth, and preserve the righteous spirit. Harmony fluid smooth ah spirit calm, emotional will idle ah heart Ting, appetites and desires can not be born ah. The universe is far away from the secular world, and the world is far away from it.'Hah! Hah! Ha!"
"Father-in-law is in high spirits. Please sing another song with Rong Jun 'er!”Wu Jun rode on the red dragon horse and said to the sky in a clear voice,"Traveling and learning, I go back and forth, and the years are long. Wearing a long sword and holding a divine bow, the rebels are rampant and their hearts are not punished. He is brave and brave, and he is always strong and invincible. He led a fierce general to pacify the world, determined to be a hero.”
"I have heard that my lord and uncle are full of knowledge and are in high spirits. Now that I have seen them, my lord and uncle's poems have a profound artistic conception that ordinary people can't compare to.”Sitting in the carriage, Xun Yu, who was admiring the winter scenery in Lujiang, saw Wu Jun and Cai Yong's poetic expressions. They could recite one or two poems that left a deep impression on people. Even Xun Yu, who had always thought that he was talented, could not help but cheer loudly.
"Of course. Uncle Cai is knowledgeable and good at writing poems. He is also a counselor of the Great Han Dynasty. Brother Jun was the number one prodigy in the Han Dynasty. At the age of three, he was known for his eloquence and was even famous in the capital for his seven-step poems. The poems he wrote were naturally the best in the world. Don't you agree, Sister Yan?" The current Zhao Yu and Cai Yan had practically become inseparable sisters who talked about everything. Every time Zhao Yu expressed her opinion, she liked to pull Cai Yan in as an ally. Firstly, it was because Zhao Yu and Cai Yan liked Wu Jun very much; Secondly, in terms of talent, ten Zhao Yus would not be Cai Yan's match. Of course, in terms of martial arts, ten Cai Yans would not be as good as one Zhao Yu. They had their own specialties, but at the same time, it also reflected the tacit understanding and trust between the two.
Wu Jun saw that his casual adaptation of the poem had won the unanimous praise of his father-in-law, a literary and calligrapher of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Wen Ruo, who had the talent to assist the king. He couldn't help but feel sweet in his heart. He looked at the two beauties sitting in front of him, and Yu 'er naturally had a look of admiration. Yan 'er looked at herself with a smile as if she had something to say." Yan' er, our great talented lady, have you thought of any good poems to share with everyone? As the saying goes,'Giving others happiness makes the heart happy!'”Wu Jun boldly encouraged Cai Yan. After all, Yan 'er was destined to appear on more social stages with him in the future. He had to fully display her talent in front of everyone. She could not be too introverted.
"The beacon fire on the city wall has not been extinguished, when will the battle on the battlefield stop? Murderous aura rushed to the palace gate in the morning, and the north wind blew at the edge of the moon every night. Reunion ah happy to meet dragon Lang, heart full of joy ah walk around.”Cai Yan looked at Brother Jun's intense gaze and calmly recited a poem that was similar to a poem. When everyone heard it, they could not help but applaud. "Yan 'er, good poem! Brother Jun promises that he will never leave you again.”Wu Jun listened to Cai Yan's poem, which revealed some mixed emotions. Even Zhao Yu's eyes were filled with tears. He could not help but think of Cai Yan in history. He could not help but hug Cai Yan and Zhao Yu tightly. "Sister-in-law, your quick thinking makes second brother (third brother) very envious. Sister-in-law and big brother are really a pair of heaven and earth!”Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, who were guarding the left and right sides, couldn't help but be affected by this heroic poem. Even a man couldn't come up with such a touching poem. "Mistress, this poem has both scenery and emotions. First, the scenery gives birth to emotions, and then the emotions give birth to emotions. It is indeed memorable!”As Xun Yu had not participated in the battle to defend the capital, he had not personally witnessed the ferocity of the fierce battle. He seemed to be savoring the aftertaste of the scene, analyzing and appreciating it.
About six hours later, Wu Jun and the others finally arrived at the west gate of Lujiang County City, which he had not seen for ten years, at 15:00 p. m.(15:00 p. m. to 17:00 p. m. Beijing time). The two sides of the gate were already packed with people who had come to welcome Wu Jun, Cai Yong, and the others. "Damn, why are there so many people? Don't tell me they're all here to welcome us?”Wu Jun didn't know that the news of the three brothers saving the emperor from Beimang and Dong Zhuo's victory in the third battle had spread to every corner of the Great Han Dynasty in the past few months. He had become the pride and glory of the entire Lujiang Prefecture. When many citizens heard that the former "Great Han's first prodigy", the current Lord Wei, was going to return to his hometown, the news spread like wildfire. Thousands of people came to see Lord Wei's elegant demeanor. Wu Jun had his second and third brothers split up on the left and right sides to open up a path and protect the people in the middle army. The more people there were, the easier it was to cause chaos. Wu Jun sat on the red dragon horse and cupped his hands to greet the villagers one by one. Cai Yan and Zhao Yu hid in the carriage before they reached the city gate due to shyness.
From afar, Wu Jun could see his father, Wu Shuo, standing in front of the western gate, waiting bitterly. His father's appearance had not changed much. However, he was indeed much older than he was ten years ago. It was probably caused by hard work. He was dressed in casual clothes. Standing on the left side of Wu Shuo was Military Advisor Tian Fengtian, who had broken up with him in Jizhou a few months ago. He was still dressed as a Confucian. The most eye-catching person was a beautiful woman to the right of her father, Wu Shuo. She was wearing a bright red embroidered dress and silk embroidered shoes. The hairpin on her head was inlaid with tortoiseshell. Her entire body was surrounded by a halo. Her waist was so slender that it could only be held in one's hand. Her skin was as white as silk. Her body was medium-sized. She was graceful and extremely moving. Even Wu Jun, who had been hanging out with Cai Yan and Zhao Yu, these two peerless beauties, couldn't help but secretly exclaim when he saw this. She was indeed a first-class beauty. Even Yan 'er could only be on par with her and was even inferior to her.
"Father, please accept three bows from this unfilial child!”When Wu Jun was almost in front of his father and the others, he immediately got off the red dragon horse and quietly walked to Wu Shuo. After kowtowing three times, he said respectfully,"This child has not been able to serve the two elders for ten years. This child is really unfilial!”After saying that, Wu Jun's face was filled with tears. There was a saying,"A man doesn't cry easily, but he hasn't reached the point of excitement!"”The wanderer who left home at the age of ten finally returned to the harbor of his father's love today. How could Wu Jun not be excited?
"My son Zhao Yun (Zhang Liao) greets father! We'll kowtow three more times to Father on behalf of Big Brother!”Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao saw their elder brother kowtowing in front of Lord Wu. The two of them also dismounted and kowtowed. As the saying goes,"an elder father", their elder brother's father was like their own father.
"Good! Good! Good! Jun 'er, get up quickly. It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back! Father and your mother have been thinking about you every day. It's good that you're back! Your mother's body is still fine. She's waiting in the residence. After we received General Gao's message, we immediately came out. General Gao is currently making arrangements with your Uncle Da. These two should be the sworn brothers Zilong and Wenyuan that General Gao mentioned, right? As expected of a dragon among men, please rise quickly! Jun 'er is really blessed to be able to become sworn brothers with the two of you!”
"Father, they are my two sworn brothers!”When Wu Jun heard his father's question, he stood up and pointed at Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao to explain to his father. Then, Wu Jun cupped his hands and said to Tian Feng,"Wu Jun greets Brother Yuan Hao. It must have been hard on Brother Yuan Hao these days!”"Zhao Yun (Zhang Liao), thank you for your praise, Father! It's our fortune to be able to become brothers with big brother! Zhao Yun (Zhang Liao) greets Brother Yuan Hao!”Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao stood up and said to Wu Shuo and Tian Feng.
"Flying Dragon, Second General, Third General, you don't have to be so polite! Speaking of hard work, you guys have worked much harder than Feng. After a few months, the Flying Dragon, Second General, and Third General are even more beautiful than before. Congratulations!”Tian Feng naturally respected Wu Jun, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Liao, especially when he saw that the three of them did not show any signs of dispiritedness or depression after their defeat in Luoyang. He was naturally overjoyed. Although it was inappropriate to address " Wu Jun " as " Lord " in front of everyone, he secretly admired the willpower and tenacity of the three brothers.
"Father, she should be Xiu-Er, right? Xiu-Er, is it really you? After ten years, Xiu-Er had become so beautiful that Brother Jun almost couldn't recognize her.”Wu Jun didn't forget to look at this beauty from the beginning to the end. He found that she was also paying attention to his actions all the time, and Wu Jun found a familiar and intimate feeling from her. This feeling made Wu Jun think of Xiu-Er's appearance ten years ago. He also thought that the person who was so close to his father should be pretty close to her, so Wu Jun asked his father and Xiu-Er tentatively while taking a few steps closer to her.
In fact, the beauty had been sizing up the young man in front of her who was eight feet and five inches tall, had a jade-like face, smooth lips, and a golden crown. After seeing Wu Jun bow to Wu Shuo, her heart trembled slightly. This person in front of her was indeed her childhood sweetheart, Brother Jun, whom she had lived with for three years. However, she still did not move. She wanted to see if Brother Jun still remembered her, and if he had forgotten her long ago. After listening to Wu Jun's affectionate call, especially when he called her " Xiu-Er and Brother Jun ", her eyes became misty." It's Brother Jun. He's still the same as before. He still remembers me." Xiu-Er couldn't care less anymore. She threw herself into Wu Jun's arms excitedly and cried softly,""Brother Jun, you're finally back. I've missed you so much these past ten years! Xiu-Er thought you had forgotten about me. You bastard!" Xiu-Er could only pat Wu Jun with both hands to vent her ten years of lovesickness. At this time, she was like a child, beautiful and charming. Wu Jun was in a good mood. He coaxed Xiu-Er with his sweet words." Xiu-Er, how could Brother Jun forget you? Whether it was in the Holy Mountain or Luoyang, Brother Jun missed Xiu-Er all the time! Alright, let's go back to the residence first. Everyone is waiting for us!”
Only then did Xiu-Er realize that besides Cai Yong and his wife, Cai Yan, Zhao Yu, Xun Yu, and Li Su, who were still in the car, everyone else was looking at Wu Jun and Xiu-Er. Xiu-Er then left Wu Jun's embrace and ran behind Wu Shuo, saying coquettishly,"" Godfather..." Wu Shuo and his wife had accepted Xiu-er as their goddaughter not long after Wu Jun left. They could see Xiu-er's deep affection for Jun 'er. They had treated her as half a daughter-in-law in the past ten years.
"Hah! Hah! Hah! Our Xiu-Er is shy. I wonder who was so excited when they heard the news about Jun-Er in the mansion? Alright, let's return to the residence first!”Wu Shuo waved his hand and gestured for Wu Jun to lead everyone back to the residence. As soon as everyone entered the Wu Residence's courtyard, Wu Jun saw his mother, Zhen Shi, Zichang, and butler Uncle Da waiting for him. At the banquet after entering the Wu Residence, Wu Jun introduced his parents-in-law, Yan 'er, Yu' er, Wen Ruo, Xian De, and the others to his father Wu Shuo, his mother Zhen, and his military advisor Tian Feng. After Wu Shuo and Zhen Shi saw Cai Yong and his wife, they naturally asked about their well-being and talked about the little things that had happened in the past ten years. When Wu Shuo and Zhen Shi saw their future daughter-in-law Cai Yan, they were also happy. Xiu-Er, Cai Yan, and Zhao Yu could tell that each other was deeply in love with Wu Jun, so they didn't dare to be hostile to each other. Moreover, the three of them were not like that kind of girls. They were all phoenixes among women, so they naturally treated each other as sisters and talked about everything. Xun Yu and Tian Feng had just met not long ago, but they were attracted and admired by each other's profound knowledge and military strategy. The two of them regretted not meeting each other earlier and were extremely congenial. Li Su, who was at the side, also showed his eloquence and knowledge and immediately joined the conversation.
In the next few days, Wu Shuo found that Jun 'er's brothers were capable of stabilizing the country with martial arts and ruling the country with literature. They were all elites of the world, especially after learning that Xun Yu was the descendant of the Eight Dragons of the Xun Family and fought against Wu Jun, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Liao in the capital. He was amazed by Wu Jun. Jun' er was able to attract so many outstanding talents at such a young age. He was really not simple. After that, Wu Shuo let Wu Jun and his subordinates handle some of the affairs in Lujiang. He happily accompanied his good friend and in-law Cai Yong to play chess, admire paintings, and chat all day long.
Wu Jun could also see his father's good intentions. He led the civil officials Xun Yu, Tian Feng, Li Su, and the generals Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun to manage Lujiang City in an orderly manner. It was even better than Wu Shuo's previous management. With his father's approval, Wu Jun gave his brothers some official positions. Since the Yellow Turban rebellion, the imperial court had issued an edict, agreeing that all regions could recruit their own soldiers to resist the Yellow Turban army. In this way, the original chief executive of a region had become the highest military and political chief. The military positions in the Han Dynasty could be divided into ten levels from top to bottom: general, garrison general, wolf tooth general, general, tooth goalkeeper, deputy general, deputy general, general, commander, and lieutenant. A county governor could appoint a lieutenant, a county governor could appoint a general and a commander, and a state governor could appoint a tooth goalkeeper, deputy general, and deputy general. As for military positions above general, they needed to be appointed by the imperial court. At this time, Wu Shuo's official position could only appoint generals and duwei, so Wu Jun appointed Xun Yu as Fenwu Sima. Tian Feng was appointed as the commander of the army, Li Su was appointed as the commander of the salt department, and Li Su was appointed as the commander of the salt department. Gao Shun was appointed as the commander of the army, while Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Wu Fu, and Li Hu were not reappointed because they still held their previous positions. Wu Jun let Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun be in charge of recruiting and training soldiers. Xun Yu was in charge of agricultural production in Lujiang. Tian Feng was responsible for the commercial development and public security of Lujiang. Li Su was in charge of the external trade of grain, salt, tea, and ironware. After assigning these people official positions and tasks, Wu Jun would come out every day to practice martial arts, revise medical books, military strategies, and laws. He would lead Xiu-Er, Cai Yan, and Zhao Yu to tour around Lujiang City. Secondly, it was to accompany the three beauties. The third aspect was to observe the terrain and the situation in the various counties. The days were naturally comfortable and warm!
