Chapter Four Mid-Mountain Pavilion Discussion of Power (1)
The green grass was green and the spring breeze was refreshing. [] The afternoon sun shone all over Hebei. Nanpi, the city wall is high and thick, used to be an important town of Jizhou, belonging to Bohai County. Extending in all directions, it faces the Yellow River in front, surrounded by Leling, Dezhou and Pingyuan. It is actually the gateway to the Bohai Sea. Nanpi had a large population and developed business. It was a place that military strategists would fight for.
On this day, two people walked over from afar on the road to Nanpi. One was dressed in white and had a graceful figure, but his long eyebrows were slightly furrowed, appearing to be full of worries. The other one was wearing a navy blue robe. He had a strong physique, slightly dark skin, a leopard head, eyes, and a face full of steel needles. These two people were Dongfang Jian and Zhang Fei, who had come from Zhuo County. The two of them walked all the way and saw that most of the people were pale, thin and sick. The child beggars were in groups of three to five, their faces haggard and their eyes dull. Although Dongfang Jian and the other two tried their best to help, it was a drop in the bucket and could not help much.
Along the way, he saw many people dressed in Taoist clothes going in and out of the common people's houses. He scattered water with talismans and gathered people to preach. Dongfang Jian knew that these people must be from the Road of Peace. Counting the time, the Yellow Turban chaos was not far away. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, villages and towns were burned down, thousands of miles of barren land was filled with starving people, and bones were everywhere. The people of the Central Plains were struggling to survive in hunger and cold all day long, and the plague was rampant. The population of the Great Han Dynasty was greatly reduced, and the war between the three countries later caused the people of China to suffer even more. He lamented that he did not fight for it, but also mourned for his misfortune. The sorrow and sorrow in his heart lingered and could not be dispelled.
The two of them randomly found a shop and bought some braised goods, roast chicken, and so on. He asked for two more jars of wine. When Zhang Fei saw the wine, he picked up the jar and drank it. After shouting, he shouted,"Good wine. I haven't felt so good in a long time.”Then, he grabbed the drumstick and started eating. Just like that, he ate the wine and meat. Dongfang Jian could not help but smile when he saw Zhang Fei eating and drinking. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he felt a little relieved.
Dongfang Jian was sipping his wine when the curtains of the tavern were lifted, and two figures flashed in. His eyes darkened, but the two of them had already arrived. His throat was growling, and his eyes were only looking at the leeks and dishes on his table. These two people were both eight feet tall and burly. One of them had a black face and the other had a green face. Their appearances were extremely ferocious and ugly. At this moment, the two of them could not help but feel angry when they saw that Dongfang Jian only raised his eyes to glance at them before continuing to eat without paying any attention to them. Immediately, the black-faced man asked angrily," Wunas is so unreasonable. He doesn't even want to see us?" The surrounding guests were silent when the two of them entered. At this moment, they all paid their bills and left. Dongfang Jian heard the discussions of the crowd."Let's go, let's go. These two evil men are here. There must be trouble.”
After Zhang Fei heard their words, he said angrily,"You two bastards, you two thieves, how dare you stop your Grandpa Zhang and Big Brother from eating?”As he spoke, he was about to make a move. Dongfang Jian immediately stopped Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei wanted to break free, but when he saw that it was his big brother, he stopped moving. His eyes were wide open and his face was filled with anger. It looked like he wanted to eat the two of them.
Dongfang Jian replied in a low voice,"We don't know each other at all. Don't tell me we have to face each other in reverse?"”The two of them felt awkward when they heard Dongfang Jian's words. She couldn't wipe away her face and stood there, not knowing whether to leave or sit. Dongfang Jian had been very unhappy these past few days. His face immediately darkened as he said,"If you have something to say, say it. If there's nothing else, move aside. Don't disturb the wine.”The two of them were furious." You ungrateful thief bird! If we didn't have something to ask you, we would definitely let you have a taste of Grandpa's fists and feet!"
Dongfang Jian was amused when he heard that. Was a famous expert from the Three Kingdoms era afraid of them? He stood up and said,"You two are not worthy to fight with me. My brother's martial arts aren't that good. If you two can defeat him, I will answer all your questions.”
Hearing Dongfang Jian's provocation, how could the two of them hold back? They shouted in unison,""If you win, you can do whatever you want with this black fellow.”
"Alright, then follow me." Dongfang Jian laughed.”
He threw down a few coins and walked out first. The three of them found a forest. Dongfang Jian stood at the side with his hands behind his back and looked at the three of them. Zhang Fei looked at Dongfang Jian and said to the two of them,"Don't waste my time, you two can attack together.”
"How dare you underestimate us!" the black-faced man said angrily. Only one person has fought with you."
The green-faced man didn't reply. He leaped forward, bringing with him a gust of evil wind. His huge fist went straight for Dongfang Jian's face. Zhang Fei waited for the fist to approach, and with a sweep of his sleeve, he kicked the green-faced man in the crotch. The green-faced man felt a strong force from his crotch and flew out. He fell dizzy and didn't know where he was.
Blackface was shocked and shouted,"Don't hurt my brother!" He rushed forward as if he was risking his life. The green-faced man shook his head and came to his senses. He was afraid that his brother would suffer a loss, so he didn't care about what he said earlier and also threw his fist forward.
If they were to fight alone, their martial arts might not be as good as Zhang Fei's. If they were to join forces, Zhang Fei would be in a tight spot. However, Zhang Fei was a bold and cautious person. He knew that he was no match for the other party in a one-on-two fight, so he thought about it and thought, Perhaps he could try this. All of a sudden, Zhang Fei threw his fist at the face of the black-faced tough man. Seeing the fist coming towards him, the black-faced tough man immediately fell to the side. Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei's move was just a feint. Seeing the black-faced tough man dodge away, he immediately withdrew his fist and pounced at the blue-faced guy behind him. When the blue-faced guy saw Zhang Fei attacking his brother, he was going to step forward to help him out of the predicament; however, he had not imagined that Zhang Fei would charge at him. He was stunned for a moment. At this moment, Zhang Fei threw a punch at the blue-faced tough man and knocked him down. After that, he turned around and hit the black-faced macho man. The black-faced macho man was worried when he saw his brother being knocked down. He saw Zhang Fei pounce over. Fortunately, he reacted too quickly and dodged it. However, he lost the initiative and was knocked down by Zhang Fei in a short while.
Dongfang Jian quietly watched the competition between the three of them. At first, he was worried for Zhang Fei, but he did not expect him to easily defeat the other party by avoiding the main force and attacking the weak. Looking at Zhang Fei's arrogant appearance, he said,"Not bad, not bad. Since second brother can use the art of war in combat, it will be of great use in the future.”
"Big brother said that we should never forget to study, right?" Zhang Fei said. You have to live and learn, right? However, these two people's martial arts skills were not inferior to mine. In a two-on-one battle, I was not their match, so I began to jeer at them.”
Dongfang Jian looked at the two people who stood up from the ground and asked,""Do the two of you accept it?" The two of them looked at each other and said,"Although this warrior didn't use a fair and square method to win against us, a loss is a loss. We have nothing to say, but you can do whatever you want.”Dongfang Jian saw that although the two of them were not convinced, they could admit it readily without losing their manliness. He went forward to help the two of them up and asked," We fought for no reason, but we don't know your names or why you're here. Can you help us solve our doubts?"”
Seeing Dongfang Jian's question, the two ugly faces were extremely embarrassed. They looked at each other and said,"We are Yan Liang and Wen Chou." It was this Nanpi person. He likes to be a ranger, and people are afraid of him. When I walked past the wine shop today, I saw that the two of them didn't look like ordinary people, so..."
Dongfang Jian was stunned. First, he had met Zhang Fei, and now, he had met a famous general. These two people were really useful and skilled in martial arts. As for being killed by Guan Yu on the white horse, it wasn't because his martial arts skills were inferior, but because he died due to the speed of the Red Hare Horse. At this time, when he heard that the two of them were actually dressed for the two of them, he could not help but laugh.
The four of them got to know each other through fighting, so they found a tavern and started drinking again. During this time, the two of them asked Dongfang Jian and Dongfang Jian for their names, and Dongfang Jian told them the truth. Thinking of the outcome of the two, he asked what their plans were. The two of them could only fight normally, so how could they have too many thoughts? Dongfang Jian knew that although the two were rude, they were loyal and determined to change their fate, so he advised them to follow him for the time being. He promised to arrange a good place for them to make contributions in the future and live up to what they had learned. The two of them had admired Dongfang Jian and his wife and had long wanted to follow them. At this moment, they naturally agreed. The two of them went to pack their horses and weapons and followed Dongfang Jian out of the city.
On this day, when he arrived at the territory of Julu and saw a handsome mountain, Dongfang Jian was excited to travel. So he and Zhang, Yan and Wen sent the horses and weapons to the farmers at the foot of the mountain. The three of them walked up the mountain and enjoyed the scenery. When he reached the mountainside, he saw a small pavilion with stone tables and stools among the trees, which was quite elegant. Dongfang Jian liked the quiet place and suggested to rest here for a while. Zhang, Yan and Wen naturally agreed. The spring breeze blew, and the pine trees rippled. The Eastern Sword rose, and it recalled a poem by Huangfu Ran from the Tang Dynasty. It immediately began to recite.
The orioles cry and swallows speak to announce the new year,
Mayi County's Longdui Road is thousands of miles long.
My home is in the garden near Han,
my heart follows the bright moon to the Hu Heaven.
The brocade characters in the machine talk about long-lasting regret,
I sleep alone in my room laughing.
I asked Dou of Yuan Rong about his chariot and cavalry,
when will I ever return? I'm so happy.
There was a great sage in Julu named Tian Feng, whose character was Hao. He was well-read and knowledgeable, and his power and strategy were extraordinary. At first, he was recruited as the marshal's house, recommended Mao Cai, and promoted to the imperial censor. Because he was dissatisfied with the eunuch's autocracy, he abandoned his official position and returned home. He was frustrated by Han Fu, the prefect of Jizhou, because of his integrity. Every day, he would either read at home or travel in the mountains to express his feelings for the mountains and rivers. To relieve the depression in his heart.
This day, seeing the weather clear and refreshing, he called a servant to carry wine and food to the mountains to pass the time. Just as he was about to arrive at the half-mountain pavilion where he had spent his days, he suddenly heard someone reciting a poem. It was a seven-character poem that expressed his disgust for war and his nostalgia for his loved ones. The sorrow and bitterness are all in silence.
Tian Fengzheng himself thought that this poem was elegant and noble, and used it to measure people. It was obvious that the poet's heart was noble and pure, indifferent and tranquil. The desire for a stable life. Moreover, from the clear voice, it was obvious that he was not old. Secretly amazed, he quickly walked forward and said,""I am Tian Feng from Jizhou. I happened to pass by here. Please forgive me for disturbing you without permission.”As he spoke, he entered the pavilion.
There were four people in the pavilion, two ugly and ferocious looking men standing with their hands crossed. A dark-faced man stood behind another man. The other person was wearing a white robe and a silk scarf. He was 22 or 23 years old. He stood tall and slender, holding a branch in his slender hand. His facial features were beautiful and his eyes were like bright stars. There was a scholarly air between his brows. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and a faint smile hung on his face. He was indifferent, like an immortal, with an otherworldly aura. At this moment, she was looking at him in surprise.
The four people in the pavilion were extremely handsome, ugly, elegant like a gentleman, and vulgar like the reincarnation of an evil ghost. The contrast between the two extreme disparity caused an extremely strange feeling to rise in Tian Feng's heart.
Dongfang Jian was also surprised when he heard Tian Feng's name. This Sage of the Three Kingdoms was straightforward but scheming. His vision was vicious and he had an accurate grasp of the world. However, his tragic outcome was extremely heartbreaking. Guan Tian Feng was only forty years old, but his temples were already covered in frost, and his clear face was filled with vicissitudes of life. Only his eyes were firm. Occasionally, they would turn and reveal a trace of unyielding stubbornness towards fate. He was thin and wore a green robe with a cloth sash around his waist. She wore white socks and a pair of cloth boots.
He thought about it and said humbly,"Words for self-entertainment are an insult to my hearing." How can I forgive you?" He bowed politely. Tian Feng asked Dongfang Jian for his name. After Dongfang Jian spoke, Tian Feng pondered for a moment and asked,""Could it be that the 'Eastern Good Man' is here?“
As it turned out, Dongfang Jian and the other two had saved the poor along the way, and their good reputation had already spread along with the refugees. Therefore, although Dongfang Jian was surprised, he said honestly,""Yes." Tian Feng stood up with a solemn expression and bowed again."Mister is kind and benevolent. I am very impressed. Please accept my bow.”Dongfang Jian hurriedly supported him, extremely humble.
Su gestured for Tian Feng to take a seat before introducing Zhang Fei, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou to Tian Feng. Tian Feng saw that although the three of them looked ferocious, they were extremely polite and said," What a strong man." He asked the servants to put wine and food on the stone table and invited the four of them to share. Dongfang Jian did not decline and sat down happily. However, Zhang, Yan, and Wen refused to sit. They stood behind Dongfang Jian with their hands crossed. The two of them were helpless and could only use it for themselves.
Dongfang Jian came from later generations and was knowledgeable. He talked about the past and the present. Tian Feng agreed with him very much. The two of them chatted happily. When he was drunk, Tian Feng could not help but ask,"Mister, you are a genius. What do you think of the current situation?”
