"You can leave." Zhang Fei pointed at Zhang Ning and said," Go back to where you came from.”Zhang Fei's words shocked Zhao Yun, Zhang Yun, and the others. Just as they were about to ask questions, Zhang Ning asked timidly,"I am the daughter of a great traitor. If you let me go, aren't you afraid that the Imperial Court will punish you?”
"The victorious army will not kill the defeated army. Another rule is that our Zhang family will not kill women!”As he spoke, he glared at Zhang Yun. Zhang Yun lowered his head in embarrassment because the Zhang family did have such a family rule: The men of the Fan Zhang Clan did not kill women! This was a very strange family rule. Back then, Zhang Fei's husband was also surprised to see such an interesting family rule, so he said, This would give the women of the world a good future!
"Big brother!" Zhao Yun was not a saint. Seeing that Zhang Fei wanted to let her go, she immediately did not respond, so she said,"If we let this woman go and attack again in the future, wouldn't that be letting the tiger return to the mountain? It was better to hand her over to the imperial court and let the imperial court deal with her. This way, she would not violate the family rules and could receive a reward!”
Zhang Fei lowered his eyes and rested his chin on his hands. He thought for a while and then said softly,"Zilong! If we kill her or hand her over to the Imperial Court! What will happen to her father, Zhang Jiao?" Zhang Fei's sudden question made Zhao Yun think about it again and again. Then, she frowned and said,"Let her go." Zhao Yun said helplessly, causing Zhang Yun and Zhang Ji to be stunned for a moment, but they immediately understood. If he really handed this woman over to the imperial court or killed her, Zhang Jiao would withdraw all his troops and attack Zhuo County or Anping County. At that time, he would have no way out.
Just as Zhang Fei and the others were dealing with the issue of Zhang Ning's whereabouts, Butchie, Zhao Qi 'er, and Lian' er all ran over. Because they were now very close to Zhang Ning, they saw that Zhang Fei and the others had suddenly made trouble, so they ran over to see what was going on.
"What? You're actually the daughter of the great traitor? Didn't you say you lost your memory? How did she become Zhang Jiao's daughter?”Zhao Qi 'er's voice, which sounded like a trumpet, made Zhang Fei close his eyes. This girl was always so shocked. Was there no time for her to stop? When he looked at Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun shrugged to show that he had no choice.
Zhang Ning didn't say anything. He just lowered his head as an answer. Lian 'er and Butchie were stunned. Such a good woman was actually the descendant of a traitor! The world was really strange!
Although the women were reluctant and angry, they still agreed to let Zhang Fei not kill her in the end. At Butchie's request, Zhang Fei agreed to send Zhang Ning back to Guangzong. He would take the water route from the Jing River and be escorted by Lü Fang. Lü Fang was surprised when he heard about Zhang Ning's background, but then he readily agreed. After all, when he was the king, he admired Zhang Jiao very much. It could be said that they had known each other for a long time. Therefore, when he saw Zhang Jiao's daughter, he readily agreed to escort her.
Because of the invasion of the Yellow Turban army, Zhang Fei once again issued a conscription notice. When it was time for the beginning of summer, the original 10,000 troops had been expanded to 18,000. However, because of Guan Yu's reminder, the expansion was not too exaggerated, so as not to leave a pretext for others. The Yellow Turban Army that had surrendered numbered about twenty to thirty thousand in total. With the size of Zhuo County, it was still possible to take in so many people, but Zhang Fei did not want to feed them for nothing. Therefore, on a voluntary basis, Zhang Fei selected eight thousand Yellow Turban soldiers as the reserve force for the defense of Zhongshan and Anping. The rest were arranged by Zhang Fei to go to the northern part of Zhongshan County to farm. Because there was a war going on, there were very few cattle to farm. Therefore, these free labor made Zhang Fei's original worries become simple. Moreover, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang's business was very big now, and the manpower they needed was really nowhere to be found. This was because the status of merchants was really low. Fortunately, with Zhang Fei's support, Su Shuang's horse teams on the Donghu and Wuhuan routes could protect themselves. They did not need Zhang Fei to send some veterans to escort them.
Zhang Fei brought Old Man Su and Uncle Liu from Zhongshan over. According to Zhang Fei's request, Zhang Shiping directly built a cast iron field in Anping. At the end of spring, before the Yellow Turban invaded, Zhang Shiping had already opened two restaurants in Jiangdong and Jingzhou. Zhang Fei had ordered Zhang Shiping to stop doing the sex business, which meant that he would not open a brothel. Both restaurants were named by Zhang Fei. The one in River East was called Wind Listening Tower, while the one in Jingzhou was called Rain Viewing Tower. Zhang Shiping was no longer surprised. He finally understood that Zhang Fei, a boorish man, was qualified to chat with the great scholars of the present age. But the two sentences in front of the Wind Listening Tower in River East made all the brave warriors and talented men in River East go to the Wind Listening Tower to drink. What were the two sentences? The first sentence was: A bowl of water and wine invites all the heroes in the world. The next sentence was: Full of righteousness to welcome the heroes of the four seas. This was originally an ordinary couplet, but these two sentences appeared a little abrupt in a restaurant. Anyone who had seen this couplet would remember it in their hearts. As time passed, this reputation spread without revealing anything, which surprised Zhang Shiping. Originally, he didn't really plan to open a restaurant in River East. It was just that the grain in Jiangnan was better than the grain in the north. Zhang Shiping wanted to sell some good grain from the south to the north and earn a sum of money from it. However, he did not expect to earn a lot of money from food, but from wine.
Zhang Fei's wine consumed a lot of food. Fortunately, Zhang Fei had handed the recipe to Uncle Su, so Uncle Su had to deal with the work of making the mother's wine. Because this wine was really different from other wines, Zhang Shiping racked his brain to think of a good name. He wanted Zhang Fei to think of a name, but Uncle Su said,"This wine was brewed by the Eldest Young Master. Why don't we call it Zhang Fei Wine?”Zhang Shiping had a good plan in his heart. These days, he knew that Zhang Fei would always stand up. If he took this name, the price of this wine would increase in the future, and it would be a good profit. Therefore, he clapped his hands and said,"It's called Zhang Feijiu." Therefore, in Zhuo County, Wu County, and Jiangxia, there were shops selling Zhang Fei's wine, which really made Zhang Fei smile bitterly.
After the beginning of summer, General Huangfu's troops finally wiped out Zhang Bao's main force with the help of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. However, Zhang Bao, the Earth Duke General, was killed by random arrows on the way back to Guangzong. When Zhang Jiao heard that his second brother was dead, he wanted to take revenge. However, he did not expect that the Yellow Turban army was on the verge of collapse because of their continuous losses, and Zhang Jiao was still unaware of it. After Zhang Ning went back, he didn't have the heart to avenge his uncle, so he was depressed. Zhang Jiao had no other choice but to be happy that his daughter could come back alive. On the third day after the news of Zhang Bao's death, the battle in the south had also come to an end. The imperial court's troops had suppressed Zhang Liang's troops in the Huai River area with an overwhelming advantage. Two days later, because of the betrayal of the traitor, Zhang Liang was killed by his subordinates. The main force of Zhang Liang's troops had been wiped out, and the rest of the troops who could escape had fled to Qingzhou and Yanzhou. Suddenly, there were more Yellow Turban troops in Shandong.
After the death of his two younger brothers, Zhang Jiao was bedridden. He wanted to hand over the power to Zhang Ning, but he didn't expect that Zhang Ning would hand over all the power to the other subordinates under the excuse of taking care of his father. In May of the same year, Zhang Jiao finally passed away. With Zhang Jiao's death, the Yellow Turban rebellion that had lasted for several months finally came to an end. Since the remnants of the Yellow Turban did not have a leader, they each had their own plans. Everyone wanted to be the general commander of the world, but no one was convinced by the other. They originally wanted to find Zhang Ning to take charge of the overall situation, but they could not find her no matter how hard they tried.
With the fall of the Yellow Turban, the pressure on the court outside disappeared, and a real revolution was brewing. In order to ease the conflict between the eunuchs and the gentry, the Emperor summoned four foreign generals to the capital. One was Xiliang's Dong Zhuo, the other was the Third Assistant Minister Huangfu Song, the third was Jizhou's assassination envoy Han Fu, and the last was Zhuo County's Zhang Yide. Why was a small official like Zhang Fei summoned to the capital to meet the emperor? There were many reasons for this. First, the eunuchs wanted to have a foreign aid, and Dong Zhuo was their foreign aid at the moment. However, there were few people in Xi Liang. Although the soldiers were strong. However, it really couldn't be done. They needed a group of people from the east of the country. And this group of people definitely couldn't be from the Shi clan. The eunuchs thought the same way, and the nobles thought the same way. General Huangfu was an old general, so he was naturally loyal. Han Fu was a person who did not have a mind of her own, so she would go wherever the wind blew. This person was very unreliable! Dong Zhuo was on the eunuch's side, so Zhang Fei's men were the cleanest in the Guandong army. They had no background or background. They were just soldiers! What was unknown was that Empress Dowager Dong had already met Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song before General He Jin met with the Empress Dowager. Unexpectedly, both of their opponents recommended the unknown Zhang Fei, which caught Empress Dowager Dong's attention. After thinking about it again and again, she agreed that the Emperor would summon Zhang Fei. The time was set to be in the middle of June. General Huangfu mentioned Zhang Fei because he loved his talent, while Dong Zhuo mentioned Zhang Fei to repay his kindness.
When Zhang Fei received the imperial edict at home, he was really stunned. He had never imagined that the emperor would summon such a small military officer. What was more surprising was that a new appointment letter arrived at the same time. Zhang Fei was recommended by three high-ranking officials to be the assassination envoy of Jizhou Province and took over Han Fu's position. Han Fu was transferred to Youzhou Province to continue to be the assassination envoy. Han Fu was happy to go to Youzhou Province because he couldn't resist Jizhou Province anymore. Only a fierce man like Zhang Yide could handle this.
Zhang Fei became a high official once again. The people of Zhuo County rushed to tell him about it. On the second day after the imperial edict arrived, the people who came to congratulate him really broke through the entrance hall of Zhang Village, which made Zhang Fei's father and mother happy. This son really made them worry. He was a treasure from heaven. It was really a blessing that Guangzong and his ancestors had cultivated for several generations.
Zhang Fei had inexplicably become a feudal lord outside the Pass, making those poor scholars extremely jealous. However, Zhang Fei's background was not good. He was only a soldier, so many noble families were indifferent to him and very arrogant. Zhang Fei was angry and did not want to stick his warm face to a cold buttocks.
When it was time to enter the capital, Zhang Fei took Xiaowu to the capital. His other brothers, Guan Yu, and Zhao Yun were reorganizing in Jizhou and settling the scattered refugees. Fortunately, Zhang Fei was very famous in the Jinghe area. Those powerful people in the green forest also submitted and reorganized. As for the people who became refugees because of the Yellow Turban, the Jizhou government rented cattle and land to them. When there was a harvest in autumn, they would return it to the Jizhou government. Now, because the livelihood of the people had become a problem. Thus, Zhang Fei decided to reduce the taxes by half and reported this matter to the imperial court. The imperial court's reply to him was: You are the head of Jizhou, you can naturally decide the state affairs, you can go first, and then report to the court. This sentence almost made Zhang Fei faint. Did he become a local tyrant? Was the brain of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty filled with water?
However, with a fearful heart, Zhang Fei and Zhang Ji finally entered the capital. This was their first time entering Luoyang, and they were really curious about everything.
