" This old man thinks that although Eldest Young Master's actions today had a reason, he was a little reckless and should be punished severely." Yan Yan raised his eyes and looked at the crowd.
" Yan Yan, you're usually quite serious, but in the end, you're a despicable person who doesn't know right from wrong. I, Wang Lei, want to cut ties with you," Wang Lei thought angrily. He was about to open his mouth and scold this despicable person who was changing the situation.
Yan Yan changed the topic." However, we are in a troubled time. Zhang Lu of the Han Dynasty has been eyeing Yizhou for a long time. Yuan Shao of Jizhou, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, and Dong Zhuo of Chang 'an are all threats to us. It was the time to use people. Although the Eldest Young Master's martial arts realm was not high, he was actually able to cross realms to fight. He was indeed a genius in martial arts. "In time, he will definitely be the pillar of our Yizhou. We really can't punish him too much. It's better to let him go to the border. One is to experience and get rid of his hostility. Two is to atone for his sins. What do you think, my lord?"”
His words made Wang Lei smile." This Yan Xibo's mouth is even more eloquent than Su Qin's. Zhang Yi has been reborn. I almost misread him.”
"Brother Heber is right. In a few days, I'll send someone to send him to the border. "I hope this kid can work hard. I hope the hardships at the border can make him mature a little." Liu Zhang was just thinking that Liu Xun was an eyesore every day. Yan Yan's suggestion made him overjoyed. He immediately turned to the other officials and generals."What do you think of Yan Xibo's suggestion?"”
" I agree. My lord's decision is wise," Wang Lei said immediately. This was the result he wanted the most. He wasn't forming a clique for personal gain. He was completely standing from the perspective of protecting Liu Zhang. He didn't want to trap his lord in injustice.
"According to my observation, Young Master is not only a martial arts prodigy, but also a rare general talent. "Sending Young Master to the border to gain experience is equivalent to building another barrier for our Yizhou." Zhang Ren usually didn't say much, but his words were shocking.
"Oh, why do you say that, General Zhang?" Liu Zhang was a little surprised. He knew a little about Zhang Ren's ability. In terms of martial arts, there were no more than three people in Yizhou who could beat Zhang Ren. Since Zhang Ren said this, there must be some truth to it.
"I'm only saying this based on logical analysis. As far as I know, there's no one in the Great Han Dynasty who can defeat someone in the True Strength realm in the Qi-Jin realm, other than the Eldest Young Master. " Lu Fengxian is known as the number one martial arts expert in the Great Han Dynasty, but he is only invincible in the same realm. He definitely can't be like the Eldest Young Master who can defeat opponents of a higher realm and still win," Zhang Ren said with assurance." The Eldest Young Master's military foresight is even more extraordinary. According to my observation, Zhang Lu's army is very likely to invade the border in the near future, and it is even very likely that they are already at the city gates.”
"Zhang Ren, do you know what kind of crime it is to speak nonsense and shake the hearts of people? How could he say such things? If Zhang Lu's army doesn't come to invade the territory in the near future, you won't be able to escape death!”Zhao Wei shouted. His position in the army was higher than Zhang Ren's, but he was not as talented as Zhang Ren. However, Zhang Ren was extremely proud and could not be used by him. Therefore, Zhao Wei had long wanted to get rid of Zhang Ren.
"If what Zhang Ren said is wrong, General Zhao can cut off my head. My lord, time waits for no man. Please make preparations to deal with the invading enemy.”Zhang Ren showed no fear, but his last words were directed at Liu Zhang, urging him to respond as soon as possible.
"This, General Zhang, your joke is too serious. I'll take it that you were anxious to save Eldest Young Master and said something wrong for a moment. "You can't say this kind of thing again. Let's stop here." Liu Zhang was gloomy and still had the heart to cherish talent, so he kindly advised Zhang Ren not to talk nonsense. Otherwise, even if Liu Zhang wanted to protect him and shake the hearts of the people, lying about the military situation would be a death sentence. The law would not tolerate mercy, and even Liu Zhang would not be able to save him.
"My lord, this is the result of my observation and analysis over the past few months. Originally, I wasn't completely sure, but after hearing what the Eldest Young Master said, I suddenly understood. My lord, please make preparations as soon as possible.”Zhang Ren kowtowed.
" This..." Liu Zhang was also a little flustered. He was a person who had no idea. Zhang Ren spoke with certainty, and he already believed him.
Cao Cao had once said that Yuan Shao was good at planning and was indecisive, which meant that Yuan Shao at least had some strategies, but he lacked some wisdom in decision-making. This Liu Zhang was someone who did not even have a strategy. That was why he was often manipulated by Zhao Wei. If not for the protection of Wang Lei, Huang Quan, Yan Yan, Zhang Ren, and a group of loyal and upright people, his position as the herdsman of Yizhou would have long been lost.
"General Zhang Ren, the army is not joking. Are you willing to make a military pledge? "If Zhang Lu's army doesn't invade the territory, I'll behead you." Zhao Wei wanted to use this opportunity to get rid of Zhang Ren, so he immediately set a trap for him.
" Zhang Ren is willing to make a military pledge. I only hope that the lord can make preparations early and not delay the great event." Zhang Ren smiled sadly. He was only half confident about this matter. For some reason, after hearing Liu Xun's words, the Grim Reaper almost believed him. Perhaps it was because of the general's intuition.
" Alright, since that's the case, I'll serve you with pen and paper." Zhao Wei could not wait for Zhang Ren to say this. It was a good opportunity to get rid of Liu Zhang's right-hand man.
"Wait, this old man is also willing to make a military pledge with General Zhang Ren. He just didn't know, if Zhang Lu's army really invaded, and General Zhao didn't believe in his words and ruined the military plan, would he be beheaded according to the law?”Yan Yan questioned Zhao Wei sternly, catching him off guard.
In fact, Yan Yan was even more insecure than Zhang Ren. However, he had always been on good terms with Zhang Ren. Seeing that his best friend of many years was framed by Zhao Wei, he was furious and stepped forward.
"Yan Yan, what do you mean by asking this? Even if Zhang Lu's army really broke the border, what responsibility do I have? Since you're willing to make a military pledge with Zhang Ren, then fine, I'll fulfill your wish.”Zhao Wei shouted sternly. He didn't want to entrap himself, but he wanted to entrap Yan Yan and Zhang Ren to death.
"This…it's just a joke, why take it seriously? "The matter of the military pledge ends here. Don't mention it again. Whoever mentions it will make things difficult for me. I won't let them off easily." Liu Zhang was originally gloomy, but suddenly, he was enlightened. He thought of a possibility."If Zhang Ren and Yan Yan are really executed, and this Zhao fellow has no one to control him, what if he does something bad to me in the future…"
Liu Zhang's performance was just like the saying, a fool's thoughtfulness would always be rewarded, and a fool would occasionally be smart for once.
He did not expect Liu Zhang to do this at such a critical moment. Zhao Wei was about to say something when Liu Zhang changed his usual cowardly attitude and said firmly,"No need to say anything. Zhao Wei, quickly send someone to investigate the movements of Zhang Lu's army and report back at any time. If there is any delay, you will be punished by military law."
" Yes, I will do it now." Zhao Wei broke out in a cold sweat." Why is this idiot acting like a different person today? What's going on?"”
Actually, Liu Zhang was a fool. How could he know anything about military affairs? He had only been a Prefecture Overseer for many years, so he more or less knew how to balance the situation.
Seeing that Zhao Wei was growing stronger day by day, although he was dim, he had recently heard some rumors about Zhao Wei. Zhao Wei's arrogance and despotism made him feel uneasy. The conflict between Yan Yan and Zhang Ren and Zhao Wei made him think of using Yan Yan and Zhang Ren to restrict Zhao Wei. This was just an instinct of a living creature.
The world was just so wonderful. It was often unpredictable.
Zhao Wei received Liu Zhang's order and was about to turn around to make arrangements when a fast horse galloped over. A rider dismounted and saw Liu Zhang from afar. He immediately knelt on one knee and kowtowed."My lord, something bad has happened. Han Zhanglu has suddenly mobilized 30,000 troops and attacked at night. The vanguard has already arrived at Jiameng Pass.”
After the man finished speaking, he fell to the ground and breathed his last. Only then did Liu Zhang see clearly that there was an arrow stuck in the chest of this scout. He was really a loyal man to be able to ride so far to report.
" Men, give him a lavish burial and reward his family with twenty taels of gold." Liu Zhang was a little touched and immediately gave the order.
" General Zhang Ren, you are able to predict the enemy's movements. Even the famous generals of ancient times are nothing like this. From now on, I will put you in an important position," Liu Zhang sighed." I'm going to let you lead your troops to fight Zhang Lu. Are you confident?"”
" My lord, I am grateful for your kindness. Even if I have to go through fire and water, I will not refuse." Zhang Ren nodded." However, I want someone from my lord. With this person's help, I have a greater chance of defeating the enemy."”
"Oh, who do you want?" Liu Zhang's interest was immediately piqued." As long as it's the soldiers and civilians of Yizhou, no matter who it is, you can go.”
" This person is still locked up in the dungeon by my lord. Without my lord's permission, I can't take him away," Zhang Ren said earnestly.
"You mean Xun 'er? What do you want him for? Could he really be the peerless genius you speak of?”Liu Zhang asked curiously.
"My lord is wise. Eldest Young Master is truly a talent that only appears once in a hundred years. With his assistance, there is no need to worry about the enemy not retreating.”
"Is it that powerful?"
"Absolutely! " My lord, please think about it. There has never been a person who possesses the thunder attribute Genuine Qi. Even Lu Fengxian, the strongest fighter in our dynasty, could not defeat someone in the realm of Qi-Jin and defeat someone in the realm of Tactile Jin. If this is not a genius, what is it?" Not to mention the Heavenly Lightning Physique, surviving a great disaster, even the famous generals of ancient times would find it difficult to do so before the enemy moved. My lord, don't hesitate. Please immediately order the Eldest Young Master to be released and appointed as my deputy general. Follow me to the expedition!”
Liu Zhang also felt a little regretful." General Zhang Ren, do you think I've been a little harsh on Xun 'er all these years, causing him to do whatever he wants?" Is he really talented?"
"My lord, jade cannot be made into a treasure if it is not cut. Perhaps the hardships of his youth were the cornerstone that motivated the Eldest Young Master to achieve great achievements. Give the order. The rescue is like putting out a fire. You can't hesitate anymore.”
"Alright, since things have come to this, I will not hesitate anymore. Men, pass on my command. Quickly release the Eldest Young Master and bring him to me.”Liu Zhang bit his lips and finally made up his mind to release Liu Xun.
"Not good, General Zhang, someone is plotting to murder Eldest Young Master. Wang Gui is currently protecting Eldest Young Master with all his might.”A person flew over. It was the person Zhang Ren had sent to protect Liu Xun.
"What is it? Who is so daring to murder my son? Do you really not put me, Liu Zhang, in your eyes?”Liu Zhang was furious.
