Chapter Seven Hero Saving the Beauty (1)
In the early morning of early April in the north, there was a faint mist floating in the air, and there was a hint of warmth. Dongfang Jian and the other three left Ye City early in the morning for Bingzhou and then to Luoyang. They had once asked Dongfang Jian why he wanted to go to Bing Province. Dongfang Jian said that there was a talented general in Bing Province, and even if Zhang Fei and the other two joined forces, they might not be his match. When Zhang Fei and the other two heard this, they became anxious and insisted on seeing this person.
The mist gradually dispersed. Today's weather was very good. After leaving Ye City, it was almost a flat plain. There were many trees on both sides of the road, which could not be seen in Dongfang Jian's original world. The blue sky was like a huge sapphire. Except for the farmland where crops were planted, there were green spaces everywhere. The air quality was even better. According to the current classification, it was probably above the first class.
Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him and thinking of the Yellow Turban Rebellion a year later, Dongfang Jian's heart could not help but become heavy. Now, he had accepted the fact that he had come to the Three Kingdoms, and he had always thought that since God had sent him here, he must do his best to change the trajectory of history. If he could travel to the Han Dynasty, it meant that nothing was impossible.
Dongfang Jian rode on his horse and looked at the beautiful scenery. He already had the initial capital to conquer the world-talents. Although there were only four of them, as time passed, many people would come to seek refuge. As for money, as long as he had power and strength, people would take the initiative to look for him. Moreover, he had many things that surpassed this era. Every one of them could cause a sensation in the world and earn a lot of wealth for himself. As long as he grasped it well, he believed that with his own efforts, he would be able to turn the Great Han Dynasty into the most powerful country in the world at that time. Moreover, it would last for hundreds or thousands of years.
Walking on the road, they found a large dense forest in front of them. The five of them raised their vigilance and slowed down their speed at the same time. In order to prevent the bandits from shooting arrows, Zhang Fei and the other two walked in front.
When they were about to reach the edge of the forest, they suddenly found a few people lying on the ground with some scattered weapons. Zhang Fei hurriedly jumped off his horse and ran to the front of those people. Yan Liang and Wen Chou also followed and carefully checked them. They found that these people had already breathed their last.
Yan Liang turned to Dongfang Jian Dao, who was walking over.""Looking at the current situation, the bandits should have set up an ambush here, but it probably didn't succeed. The merchants who were robbed have already escaped.”
In the past, if Yan Liang and Wen Chou encountered such a situation, they would have long rushed forward to take care of it or take advantage of the situation. However, with Dongfang Jian around today, they understood that they could not be like before.
Dongfang Jian thought for a moment and turned to look at Tian Feng, who nodded. "Get on the horse and go to the front to take a look.”The five of them mounted their horses and galloped out of the forest.
Outside the forest, there were dead people lying on the ground. Judging from their clothes, there were bandits and ordinary people. Not far ahead, there were fifty to sixty bandits wearing leather armor and holding spears and sabers. They were attacking a group of people with a carriage in the middle.
Outside the encirclement, there was a bandit leader riding a horse. He held a large knife in his hand and looked quite powerful. He was directing the bandits to attack the center. There were more than ten servants around the carriage desperately defending, but they were all holding long swords and waist knives. Compared to the bandits with long weapons, they were obviously at a disadvantage. Coupled with the disadvantage in numbers, they estimated that if they could hold on for a while, they would be completely wiped out.
Seeing Dongfang Jian and the others galloping over, the bandit leader immediately commanded a dozen bandits to welcome them. Looking at the dozen bandits running over, Zhang Fei and the other two could not help but feel their blood boil. Without saying a word to Dongfang Jian, they clamped their legs on their horses and charged forward.
Although those bandits were wearing leather armor, their clothes were also in tatters. It seemed that they were all poor and had no choice but to become bandits. Therefore, Zhang Fei and the other two didn't use too much strength. They used some of their strength and casually threw a bandit to the ground. Their fists didn't stop and directly slapped the bandits 'shoulders. In the blink of an eye, they knocked them to the ground. It was only because the three of them had shown mercy that they were able to keep their lives.
The bandit leader was furious when he saw his subordinate lying on the ground and groaning. He rode his horse to Zhang Fei, raised the saber in his hand, and hacked at Zhang Fei's head. When the broadsword was less than a foot away from Zhang Fei's head, Zhang Fei dodged the broadsword and punched the thief leader in the chest.
With a loud bang, the thief's head was lifted off the horse by Zhang Fei and slammed heavily on the ground. Zhang Fei got off his horse and walked to the thief leader. He grabbed his collar with his left hand and raised his right hand to swing it down. "Yi De!" Dongfang Jian shouted. Leave your men behind." When Zhang Fei heard this, he angrily put down the thief's head and pressed him on his shoulder with one hand. He shouted,"Kneel down."
The bandit leader refused to kneel. However, as Zhang Fei continued to exert more strength, the bandit leader's face turned red. Finally, he could not hold on any longer and knelt in front of Dongfang Jianma with a thud.
When the bandits who were attacking the merchants saw that their leader had been knocked off his horse by Zhang Fei, they abandoned their opponents and surrounded Dongfang Jian and the others.
"Put down your weapons and surrender, or I'll kill your leader first."”The bandits seemed to be quite loyal. They shouted," Please spare our leader." They put down their weapons and knelt behind the bandit leader.
Dongfang Jian nodded at Zhang Fei, and Zhang Fei let go of the thief's head.
Dongfang Jian said to the bandit leader," Where are you from? Why are you gathering people here to rob? Do you have any respect for the law?"”
The bandit leader replied,""I'm the Zhending of Changshan. My surname is Chu and my name is Yan. I used to farm for a living, but in the past few years, the taxes of the county government have increased year after year. We couldn't afford it at all. In the end, we were caught by the yamen runners and beaten up by the county government. We were forced to pay the taxes within a time limit. We were forced to come here with some commoners who shared the same fate as us to occupy the mountain and become kings. Because Ye City is a big city, there are many rich families and passing merchants here. We make a living by robbing passing merchants and big families outside the city. However, they had never harassed ordinary people.”
Dongfang Jian knew Chu Yan. He was Zhang Yan, who was later conferred the title of General of Peace by the Spirit Monarch. He was originally a subordinate of Zhang Niujiao, the leader of the Black Mountain Rebellion Army. After Zhang Niujiao died, he was promoted to the leader of the Black Mountain Rebellion Army. To commemorate Zhang Niujiao, Chu Yan was renamed Zhang Yan. He had once helped Yuan Shao defeat Gongsun Zan. After the Battle of Guandu, he led his troops to surrender to Cao Cao and was conferred the title of General of North Peace and Marquis of Peace State. He did not expect that he would be captured today. Chu Yan was definitely a talent for being able to persist for more than ten years after Zhang Jiao's death. Dongfang Jian would not let her go. If he subdued Chu Yan, it would be equivalent to indirectly weakening the strength of the Yellow Turban Army.
At the thought of this, Dongfang Jian helped Chu Yan up with both hands." Brother Chu, please rise. I know that you were forced to do such an unjust thing. However, I noticed that Brother Chu is quite skilled. After you were captured, none of your subordinates fled for their lives but fought alongside you. This shows that you have a good army and are loyal to your brothers. I am Dongfang Jian of Youzhou Province. I would like to point out a clear path for Brother Chu and your brothers. Would you like to hear it?"”
Chu Yan said,"So you're the Eastern Great Samaritan, then this…" She pointed at Zhang Fei, not knowing what to say.
Dongfang Kendo said," This is Zhang Fei, also known as Yide, my sworn brother. This is Yan Liang, this is Wen Chou, and this is the famous scholar of Jizhou, Mr. Tian Fengtian."”Dongfang Jian introduced everyone to Chu Yan.
After Chu Yan greeted everyone, she turned to Dongfang Jian and said,""From now on, my life belongs to Young Master. If you don't kill me today, then I will be yours from now on. From now on, you will be my lord. We will do whatever you say.”
"If you go back on your word, thunder will strike!" The dozens of bandits behind Chu Yan shouted in unison. Chu Yan, who had just been helped up by Dongfang Jian, led the people behind her to kneel in front of Dongfang Jian again." Please take us in, my lord."”
Dongfang Jian was overjoyed. He had indeed intended to recruit this group of people as his first force. He did not expect to achieve his goal so quickly and even recruit a general.
Dongfang Jian was naturally capable of winning the hearts of the people. Therefore, Dongfang Jian knelt on the ground as well." Since you are willing to follow me, I will certainly treat you well. We will share our blessings and difficulties together. If we violate this oath, the heavens will punish us.”
Seeing Dongfang Jian kneel before everyone, Zhang Fei, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Tian Feng also knelt down. Chu Yan and the bandits were so touched that tears welled up in their eyes. One had to know that there was a difference in seniority at that time. They had pledged allegiance to Dongfang Jian, so they were Dongfang Jian's slaves. They had to do whatever their master said, but this lord did not put on any airs at all. He even swore to treat them well. How could they not be loyal to Dongfang Jian?
Dongfang Jian looked around and said to Chu Yan,""Get someone to clean up this place and bury the corpses. I'm going to see the people you robbed. No matter what, you're my people from now on.”
Chu Yan hurriedly said,"My lord, I heard those servants say that they were from the Zhen family of Ye City. The person sitting in the carriage seems to be their family's eldest daughter."”
" Brother Chu," Dongfang Jian said to Chu Yan," lead everyone to clean up the battlefield first. I'll come back to discuss with you later on what your next step should be.”
Chu Yan hurriedly said," My lord, don't call me brother anymore. Just call me by my name. It's just that my parents died early, so I only have a name."”
"That's easy. Bring everyone to rest first. If you don't mind, I'll give you a word later.”
" That's great. Thank you, my lord." Then, Chu Yan led everyone to the side to clean up the battlefield.
While Dongfang Jian and Chu Yan were talking, Tian Feng had already walked to the front of the car and was talking to the people in the car. At this moment, Dongfang Jian walked over and hurriedly said,""My lord, do you know who it is?”
Dongfang Jian smiled and said," Since Yuan Hao knows, then stop playing riddles. I don't like guessing riddles!"”
Tian Feng said," Let me introduce you. This is the eldest daughter of Ye City's Zhen family, Miss Zhen Jiangzhen. Miss Zhen, this is Feng's lord, Dongfang Jian from Youzhou, Dongfang Ziheng. He's also your savior.”
Upon hearing Tian Feng's words, the people in the car hurriedly got out of the car and bowed deeply to Dongfang Jian.""I, Zhen Jiang, thank you for saving my life, Mr. Dongfang.”
Dongfang Jianxu helped her up and said," It's nothing. You don't have to be polite. If you want to thank someone, thank my brothers. I, Dongfang Jianxu, am weak and can't save you."”After saying that, he turned to Tian Feng and asked,"The Zhen family of Ye City is one of the four biggest businesses in the world.”
"That's right. The Zhen family is the head of the four great merchants in the world. Their wealth is comparable to a country's, and they have lived in Hebei for generations." Feng was once a close friend of the current head of the Zhen family, so he recognized Miss Zhen.”
"I've often heard my father mention Uncle," said Miss Zhen.”
Dongfang Jian turned around to look at Miss Zhen, only to realize that she was a beauty. Zhen Jiang was about 1.66 meters tall, with a standard oval-shaped face, fair and soft skin, a pair of slender willow-leaf eyebrows, a pair of big, black almond eyes, a nose that was like hanging gall, a standard cherry mouth, and a set of white teeth that looked like flat shells. Her figure was curvaceous and her body was fat and thin.
Looking at Miss Zhen, he couldn't help but think,'Isn't the woman whom Cao Zhi had a crush on and whom Cao Pi wanted to leave surnamed Zhen?' She seemed to be called Zhen Mi. She was a famous beauty in the Three Kingdoms, and Cao Zhi had once written a Luoshen Ode for her.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but recite the Luoshen Ode,""Its shape is as graceful as a startled swan and as graceful as a swimming dragon. The autumn chrysanthemums shine brightly, and the spring pines flourish. Like light clouds covering the moon, swaying like the wind returning snow. Looking from afar, it is as bright as the sun rising in the morning. When you look closely, it is like a lotus emerging from the green waves. Fine and appropriate, short and appropriate. The shoulders are as if cut, and the waist is as white as usual. Stretching his neck and showing off his neck, his white skin was exposed. Fragrance does not increase, lead does not resist. The cloud bun is high, and the eyebrows are connected. Her red lips were bright on the outside, her white teeth were bright on the inside, her eyes were bright and beautiful, and her dimples were bright and beautiful. Her appearance is gorgeous and elegant, and her appearance is quiet and relaxed. Gentle and charming, charming in words. Strange clothes are unparalleled in the world, and the bone statue should be painted. Wearing silk clothes, beautiful and beautiful ah, Er Yao Bi Hua Ju. Wearing gold and jade jewelry, decorated with pearls to shine. Walking on the shoes of the far-away traveler, dragging the light skirt of the misty gauze. The fragrance of the orchid is faint, and the steps are hesitant at the corner of the mountain. So he suddenly let go of his body and played with it. On the left is the flag, and on the right is the flag. I'm going to the God Lake to pick the Xuanzhi from the rapids.”
