In the past two months, under Guo Jia and Jie's efforts, the number of soldiers defending Chen Liu City had more than doubled.
Most of them were young and strong people selected from the refugees. Of course, the money to support them was provided by Zhang Tian. With the help of the Drunken Heroes, it was possible to support more soldiers.
Therefore, Zhang Miao was confident. He was very concerned about his younger brother's safety.
"Elder brother, don't worry. I've trained a group of family guards. When the time comes, I'll just bring them along. Moreover, I'm going to the capital to meet the emperor this time, so it's not easy to be too ostentatious.”
Zhang Tian would not take away the soldiers guarding the city. These people stayed behind to protect his brother.
Moreover, he really couldn't be too ostentatious on this trip. Now that the country needed people, if he followed hundreds of soldiers, it would inevitably make people jealous and cause some trouble for no reason.
"You can arrange it yourself."
Zhang Miao had heard about the training of a group of soldiers in the courtyard, but he had never asked about it because it concerned his brother.
However, ever since the last time the eight hundred horsemen defeated the Yellow Turbans, he knew that this younger brother of his was not only good at poetry, but he was also good at marching and fighting.
There was nothing that he could not be assured of when such a person did things.
After nodding his head in acquiescence to Zhang Tianzi's arrangement, Zhang Miao asked,"
"Is there anything I can help you with on this trip to the capital?”
"Hehe, big brother, there's really something I need you to do.”
Zhang Tian smiled, and his face was flushed.
"Oh? What's the matter?"
Originally, Zhang Miao did not have to worry about anything for his younger brother. He was just being polite. However, he did not expect that there was really something that he needed his help with. Looking at his appearance, it seemed that this matter was related to his life.
After all, Zhang Tian was experienced. After blushing, he quickly returned to normal and said,
"Elder brother, this time I want to use the opportunity of entering the capital to meet the emperor to ask for a marriage.”
"Haha, good. I wonder which family's girl my brother has taken a fancy to?”
Zhang Miao laughed.
His younger brother was almost eighteen years old, and it was time for him to get married.
However, he really did not know how this younger brother who had always stayed in Chen Liu had any connections in the capital.
"This is Cai Yong, the daughter of Cai Wenshi's family.”Zhang Tian opened his mouth.
Cai Yong's daughter was the famous talented Cai Wenji, named Yan, also known as Wenji, and also known as Zhaoji. Her ancestral home was Chen Liuren.
Because of his name, he was also known as Cai Yan.
"Oh, so you're the daughter of Scholar Cai's family. Good, good.”
Zhang Miao couldn't help but nod his head.
Zhang Miao didn't have many friends, but Cai Yong was someone he was familiar with.
Cai Yong's ancestral home was Chen Liuren, and he had lived here since he was young. He had a special feeling for his hometown. It was the last time Zhang Miao went to the capital to be reinstated, and he was called to the Cai residence for a drink. From then on, they had some contact.
Now that he heard that she was the daughter of an old friend, Zhang Miao naturally agreed. Moreover, he had also heard that this Cai Yan was omnipotent in the four arts. Moreover, she was also very beautiful. She should be sixteen now.
From the age point of view, it was also suitable for his seventeen-year-old brother.
There were many reasons why Zhang Tian wanted Cai Yan to be his wife.
Cai Yan was knowledgeable and talented. She was proficient in music. It was said that she could quickly determine which string of the zither was broken by hearing. She was a famous poetess at that time.
Even now, there was still Cai Wenji's memorial hall in the east of Xi'an.
However, such a talented woman had indeed died young, and her marriage was even more unhappy.
The first time Cai Wenji got married, she married into the Wei family in the east of the river. Her husband, Wei Zhongdao, was an outstanding scholar in university. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. In less than a year, Wei Zhongdao died of hemoptysis.
The two of them had no children, and Cai Wenji was despised by the Wei family. They thought that she was a jinx to her husband. At that time, Cai Wenji was young and arrogant. How could she stand such a look? She ignored her father's opposition and went home angrily.
Later, due to the war between warlords, she was snatched away and married to the Xiongnu's King Zuoxian.
Later, Cao Cao, who had become the Prime Minister, used a large sum of money to exchange for it and returned to his hometown, Chenliu County. However, the walls were broken and there was no place to live. Under Cao Cao's arrangement, she was married to Tian Lieutenant Dong Si.
Cai Wenji had married three times in her life, and her fate was bumpy.
Since Zhang Tian had appeared in this life, he naturally did not want such a thing to happen again.
Moreover, marriage was equally important to him if he wanted to establish himself.
The ancients had a saying that men had to start a family first before starting a career.
Since he was going to get married, why not marry a talented woman?
Therefore, Zhang Tian set his target on Cai Yan. Such a person was also very worthy of his status as his wife.
In fact, many people in the ancient times wanted to use the power of their wives to develop themselves. For example, Sun Quan's sister had once formed a political marriage with Liu Bei.
Of course, Zhang Tian found Cai Yan not only because he could give himself a certain status, but also because he didn't want to see a talented woman decline like this.
Instead of suffering for the rest of her life, she might as well marry him. At least he could give her enough stability and reason to marry her.
Zhang Tian had a lot of confidence now. He wanted to get a piece of the pie in the chaotic world in the future and occupy a piece of territory and power that belonged to him.
Naturally, his woman should be protected.
After knowing the purpose of his brother's trip, Zhang Miao agreed. He immediately wrote a letter and asked him to bring it to Scholar Cai.
He believed that with Zhang Tian's literary talent and construction skills, this matter should be successful.
After receiving the letter, Zhang Tian returned to the Second Young Master's mansion. However, his footsteps were heavy because he did not know how to face the other woman, Xiang Yue.
Xiangyue had been following him ever since Li Chuang became Zhang Tian. She had helped him a lot and cared for him in every possible way.
It had already become an indispensable part of his life.
Everyone in the mansion of the second young master knew about this woman's love for Zhang Tian. Even Guo Jia had said more than once that Zhang Tian was lucky to have such a good woman to take care of him.
However, now that he was going to the capital to marry Cai Yan, he felt that he had let Xiangyue down.
This was actually Zhang Tian's modern mentality.
In the 21st century, although he did not have a formal wife, he knew the principle of monogamy.
Now that he had just arrived here, he was still unable to adapt to the situation of polygamy.
"Slowly adapt."
As a special forces soldier in the 21st world, this legal awareness was already ingrained in his bones, and he became the most loyal person to his country.
However, Zhang Tianming knew that there were no more " rabbits " in this world, and naturally, there were no relevant laws.
Zhang Tian walked into the Second Young Master's Mansion with heavy steps.
Along the way, the guards and maids stood respectfully by the side and greeted him.
Zhang Tian, who was usually very respectful to his servants, didn't seem to have heard anything and went straight to Xiang Yue's room.
