However, Cao Cao probably did not have the time to go against Xu Prefecture. With his vitality greatly injured, he was probably still busy with production. It would be difficult for him to spare any extra energy in a short period of time.
Moreover, who would have thought that the famous Carefree Scholar would make such a mistake and bring five thousand men to escort such valuable goods? Only an idiot would do such a thing.
Was Carefree Scholar stupid?
If he was a fool, how could he let Cao Cao suffer?
Obviously, even if someone knew that Xu Prefecture's Fang Zheng was escorting a batch of goods into Chang 'an, they would not think that those things were very valuable. They would only think that Xu Prefecture's Fang Zheng was sending gifts to the capital.
Therefore, the forces along the way adopted a policy of letting the Xu Prefecture people pass. They did not want to offend the Xu Prefecture forces. One hundred thousand elite soldiers were not a joke.
News of the Battle of Pengcheng had already spread throughout China. Guo Fengxiao and Ye Xiaoyao had relied on 60,000 old and weak soldiers to kill Cao Cao's 120,000 elite soldiers and forced them to flee in panic. This matter had shocked the world, and everyone knew the name of Fengxiao Xiaoyao!
Thus, Ye Tian received many invitations along the way, and the leaders of the various factions all tried to curry favor with him, but Ye Tian kindly declined them all with the excuse that he was going to the capital to meet his father-in-law and give him a betrothal gift!
Of course, if they encountered bandits who didn't know what was good for them, they would be in trouble. Under Ye Tian's thunderous methods, not even a corpse was left behind.
The journey was smooth sailing. Mi Zhu's army finally arrived in Chang 'an safely. He ordered the deputy general to lead 5,000 soldiers to station ten miles outside the city while he led his men to transport the goods into Chang' an and stationed them in Cai Manor.
Ye Tian had already sent Cai Yong a message, telling him to take care of the goods he had brought. With Cai Yong's connections, it wouldn't be difficult to sell them.
It was easy to do things with someone in the court. Wasn't this the truth?
Ye Tian accompanied Cai Yan on a sightseeing tour, reaching Chang 'an City before nightfall.
The city gate was still three miles away, but the towering city walls and the guards standing tall like javelins were already in sight.
The majestic ancient city walls were filled with a strong sense of history. The traces of swords, spears, and halberds were still vivid in his mind. As time passed, things remained the same and people changed. This ancient city had witnessed the change of countless dynasties, containing too much blood and bitterness.
Ye Tian stared at Chang 'an City for a long time before saying,""This is another place where the wind and clouds meet. I, Ye Tian, have come to rewrite history!”
Cai Yan smiled and said," My husband is not a distant person no matter where he goes. I'm afraid that this trip to Chang 'an will cause a lot of trouble. Let's go into the city. Don't let Father wait for too long."”
Ye Tian nodded and rode his horse toward the city gates.
The city gate was wide open, but there were guards on both sides checking. They were holding a portrait of an unknown person and comparing them one by one. They even checked everyone's luggage.
"It looks like something is going on. Let's be careful.”Ye Tian said to Cai Yan, dismounted and strolled over.
"Stop, search." As they approached, a fierce guard stopped them.
"Search for what, General?" Ye Tian smiled and stuffed a silver ingot into his hand.
The guard revealed an imperceptible smile and said,""No problem, let them pass.”
"Thank you, General." Ye Tian said, pulling the little white horse along with Cai Yan.
"Stop!" He had only taken a few steps when a shout came from behind him.
Ye Tian and his wife had done nothing wrong, so they stood still with a clear conscience. These soldiers were the same as the city guards. They were all greedy and bullied their superiors.
" General, is there anything else…?" Ye Tian turned around with a smile, but he stopped before he could finish.
The one who called out to him was not the soldier who was collecting his silver, but a majestic general dressed in armor. It was hard to say whether he was a general or not, but his righteous face, thick eyebrows, and bright eyes made people have a good impression of him.
He wasn't as handsome as Ye Tian, nor was he as handsome as the legendary pretty boys. He was a man with a rough and manly appearance, his skin bronze, eyebrows like swords, eyes like stars, and nose like a mountain. His short beard was thick and black, and each strand was stylish. His beard was originally very messy, but under his energetic spirit, it had a different flavor.
The general stared at Ye Tian and handed the silver back to him.""This is yours. Take it back. The soldiers under me don't accept bribes.”
Ye Tian accepted the gold and cupped his hands." I've been too rash. May I ask your name, General? I'm Ye Tian, also known as Xiaoyao. Your bearing has impressed me, so please tell me your name."”
When he heard the word 'Carefree,' a strange light flashed in the general's eyes. He said lightly,"I don't deserve the title of General. I am Zhang Wenyuan, the Cavalry Commandant under General Lu's command. I am just an insignificant official. Master Xiaoyao has praised me too much.”
What?
Zhang Wenyuan?
F * ck! It was Brother Liao.
Ye Tian had played this champion many times in Three Kingdoms War.
Zhang Liao word Wen Yuan, Yanmen Mayi (now Shanxi Shuozhou) people. A famous general of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period. He served under Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu. After the battle of Xiapi, he submitted to Cao Cao. After that, he followed Cao Cao's expedition and made many military achievements. Together with Guan Yu, he lifted the siege of Baima, surrendered Changxi in the East China Sea, attacked Yuan Shang in Ye City, led the vanguard to kill Wuhuan Chanyu Tadun in Bailang Mountain, and pacified Liu Yi of Liaodong, Mei Cheng and Chen Lan of Huainan.
After the battle of Ruxu, Cao Cao appointed Zhang Liao, Li Dian, Yue Jin and others to guard Hefei. Zhang Liao had repelled the attacks of Sun Wu many times. In the Battle of Xiaoyao Jin in the year 215, he had defeated an army of 100,000 with only 7,000 soldiers and almost captured Sun Quan alive. After this battle, Zhang Liao had shocked the River East and became famous. He had become one of the famous generals respected throughout the generations, and the story of Zhang Liao stopping the crying had become a legend among the people.
After Cao Pi ascended the throne, he ordered Zhang Liao to guard Sun Quan. In 221, Zhang Liao was stationed in Yongqiu and fell ill. Even when Zhang Liao was seriously ill, Sun Quan was still extremely wary of him. In 222, Zhang Liao did not disappoint and defeated Lu Fan, the general of Wu, despite his illness. In the same year, he died of illness in Jiangdu, posthumous title Gang Hou, at the age of 54. Later generations called him, Yue Jin, Yu Jin, Zhang He, and Xu Huang the Five Generals of Cao Wei.
In Ye Tian's heart, this was a man of courage and strategy. Perhaps Xu Chu was superior to him in martial arts, but if the two of them led troops into battle, Xu Chu was no match for him.
Ye Tian didn't dare to be careless, cupping his hands in salute and suddenly saying,""Forgive me for saying something more. The ambition of a swan is about to fly, and the ambition will eventually be fulfilled before returning.”
Zhang Liao was an upright man who distinguished between public and private affairs. He was not good at flattering his superiors. Lu Bu spent all his time in a gentle place. Although he had the ambition to stabilize the world, his ability to bring order out of chaos was useless. Therefore, he had never had the opportunity to be promoted.
