Chu Yan thought for a while and said, "All this has to start with Emperor Ling. Zhou Qian suddenly interjected and said, "Senior Brother Chu is better to pay attention to his words, Brother Gao Shun is currently working in the Department of Thorn History." Chu Yan smiled: "I knew last year." I hurriedly stood up and waved my hand: "Where can I be called a person who does not hold a position, it is a little handyman, you say you don't care about me." Everyone laughed.

Chu Yan said: "This Emperor Ling was originally the great-great-grandson of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty, the hereditary Marquis of the Jie Blasphemy Pavilion, and his family has always been so poor that until he became the emperor, he intensified his accumulation of wealth.

Tong Yuan was quite ashamed of this, snorted and did not answer, but Huang Haitang was curious, and asked: "Why does the emperor's family still have no money?" Zhou Qian is quite sophisticated, and replied: "The emperor's family also has people who are treated and those who are not welcomed, and usually the latter's life is not even as good as that of ordinary palace people, and it is not comparable to the eunuchs in the palace." Speaking

of eunuchs, several people present gritted their teeth and scolded Zhang Rang and others for not being things. Among them, Tong Yuan was the mainstay, and even his neck was red with anger.

Chu Yan continued: "After Emperor Ling succeeded to the throne, he frantically collected money, first opened Xiding Garden and sold officials on a large scale, and then made the counties pay tribute year after year, and the money obtained was stored in the hands of the major eunuchs, and it was not until the Wanjin Hall was repaired that all of it was saved. During this period, through the hands of the eunuchs, this money did not know how many layers of skin were stripped and exchanged for blood several times, and the white bones were silently born, which were all the skin and flesh of the common people under the world, and they were scraped and handed over layer by layer. At the beginning of this year, there was a fire in Beijing, and we all said that God had opened his eyes and burned Emperor Ling's South Palace, but the fucking goddamn servants Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong persuaded Emperor Ling to increase rent and taxes to repair the palace, and asked Emperor Ling to send tribute wood and stone to Beijing from all over the country, and also asked the local Taishou to pay the money to help the army repair the palace - where did this money come from? Isn't it still the inner and outer three layers continue to be cut from the people. That's not all, Emperor Ling also ordered people to buy a large number of cheap fields in the river area, and build temples and Buddhist halls on a large scale, the people everywhere were miserable, and those with slightly better legs and feet ran into the mountains, and the remaining old and weak women and children couldn't hide from them to plunder, anyway, there was nothing left at home.

Huang Haitang said suddenly: "You said that Emperor Ling used to be the Marquis of the Pavilion of Jiedu - that Emperor Ling Pavilion is near Anguo, only a hundred and ten miles away from the river, and Emperor Ling bought land there to buy land because he wanted to win glory for his ancestors!" Zhao Yun continued: "Maybe I was fed up with anger in my hometown before I came up, and I deliberately made it difficult for my old relatives!" After that, he and Huang Haitang laughed together, and I was very uncomfortable to see it.

Tong Yuan was furious when he heard this, slapped his palm on the table and said angrily: "I knew that this dog emperor was like this, I stabbed him with one shot when I entered the palace, and it can be regarded as killing myself and doing a good deed for the common people in the world!" Huang Haitang interrupted: "It's enough to kill an emperor, the old gun king, you have to kill the ten permanent servants and the eight captains together, so you can relieve your anger!" Tong Yuan glared and said: "Don't talk nonsense, there are my nephews Cao Apu and Yuan Benchu in the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan, and they are both very good!" Huang Haitang smiled and picked up the cup to drink.

Chu Yan waited for the two of them to finish joking before he continued: "Not only that, there is Emperor Ling in front of him who has brought disaster to the country and the people, and there is Qianghu in the back. Fu Kun asked: "But the Nangong Boyu who attacked Jing Zhaoyin and Zuo Feng Xiang and Right Fufeng?" Chu Yan nodded and said: "Exactly! This person is a heroic hero, in response to the call of the great sage and good teacher, to raise troops, together with Xiliang Haoqiang Han Sui and Bian Zhang, Song Yang and others, the power has developed extremely fast, and by the beginning of this year, he has reached the door of Emperor Ling's house under the banner of crusading against eunuchs. Several

people here listened to Chu Yan say that the world was the general trend with their ears pricked up, but I was the only one who buried my head in eating, and only when I heard the words "kill the eunuch" did I raise my head and ask: "If you kill the eunuch, you are a good person!" Chu Yan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly how to answer my headless words, and everyone present didn't know why I was stupid and stupid to interject such a sentence. It was Zhao Yun who was the first to echo, and said with a smile: "That's indeed right!"

Chu Yan nodded and smiled at Zhao Yun, and said: "Today, heroes from all over the world have risen up one after another, the older ones have twenty or thirty thousand strong men in their hands, and the smaller ones have six or seven thousand people in their hands, in addition to Boling's big brother Zhang Niujiao, there are also Huang Long, Bai Bo, Zuo Xiao, Guo Daxian, Yu Yigen, Qingniujiao, Zhang Baiqi, Liu Shi, Zuo Zhangba, Pinghan, Daji, Si Li, Peng Zai, Lei Gong, Fuyun, Feiyan, Baique, Yang Feng, Yu Poison, Heroes such as Wulu, Li Damu, Bai Huan, Zhenggu, Ku Ji, and Luo Shi rose up in the valley and attacked the counties in various places to respond to the great sages and good teachers. When

I heard the word "Bai Bo", I chuckled in my heart, thinking that I seemed to have heard Lu Bu talk about this group of people last year, and their leader seemed to be very powerful in martial arts. At this moment, I desperately wanted to interject and say that I knew Bai Bojun and others, but I couldn't say any allusions, so in this way, Chu Yan had already talked about the topic.

Zhao Yun said: "Zhang Niujiao is still quite famous in Hebei. I didn't expect that just such a casual sentence would cause Chu Yan to cry loudly. Everyone looked at each other and didn't know what had caused him to be sad, and when they saw that he was dressed in linen and filial piety, they thought that this horn must have something to do with him, and it was likely that he had died in battle.

Chu Yan cried for a long time before she said one after another: "At the beginning of my army, thanks to Brother Zhang, who did not dislike carrying me everywhere, he sent money and food to help me get through several difficulties, and later gave me horses and guns to help me gain a firm foothold in Hebei." This year, my two brothers joined forces, I wanted to bypass Julu County and beat down Ningjin County as a base, but I didn't expect that Brother Zhang died in the melee, and before he died, he also ordered all his subordinates to be headed by me - Chu Yan He De He Can, in order to repay Brother Zhang's kindness and reconstruction, I have decided to change my name to Zhang Yan, our subordinate Chu Yan Department and Zhang Niujiao Department will no longer accept the management of the great sage and good teacher, we will return to Jizhou Black Mountain, and from then on change our name to the Black Mountain Army. "

After listening to Zhang Yan's words, we haven't been able to calm down for a long time. I didn't expect that there would be such feelings and adventures between the bandits, and then I thought that after Zhang Yan led the troops to hide in the Black Mountain, he thought that it would also reduce the damage to the people in the nearby states. Tong Yuan's face moved a few times, probably wanting to say something, but he didn't find a suitable reason, like a fish in his throat for a long time, he finally didn't think of saying anything good to Zhang Yan.

However, Zhao Yun opened his mouth first, lost the cynical appearance of the past, and said respectfully: "Brother Zhang Niujiao is righteous, although the younger brother has never met, he is also very admired. In the future, I will change my name to Senior Brother Chu as Senior Brother Zhang, here is a glass of water and wine, and I wish Senior Brother Zhang success and prosperity in the future!"

Zhao Yun raised his wine glass and drank it all, Zhang Yan raised his glass and said with a wry smile: " Brother, when you become a general and command a party, you will know, although this battle is huge under your nose, but if you take a closer look, these 10,000 cavalry are 20,000 mouths waiting to eat and graze, plus the old departments of all parties have come to vote, how can I afford to eat enough for these brothers to have enough food is enough for me to have a headache! This is the master of the house, it is not as simple as you think!"

After eating a few glasses of water and wine, Zhang Yan ordered people to prepare money and food for us separately, and sent more than a dozen cavalry to escort us out of the boundary of Shexian County. At the junction of the two states, we said goodbye to Tong Yuan and others, and agreed to compete in Tianfengling, the main peak of Hengshan Mountain in Hunyuan County at the end of this year.

Zhao Yun said goodbye to us with a relaxed face, and secretly agreed with me behind Tong Yuan's back that it would be just fun and would never hurt my life. I was like a boulder in my heart, and I didn't know what to say. After saying goodbye to Tong Yuan and others, the carriage that came to answer also arrived, and Huang Haitang and I went down to Shangdang along Licheng, and Huang Haitang asked me to book a post house here, and we settled down here. In addition to teaching me martial arts every day, Huang Haitang also corresponds frequently with people, as if he is discussing something important.

In the blink of an eye, autumn went to winter, Feixue cut off, Huang Haitang proposed to leave a month in advance, so as not to be delayed on the road by the wind and snow, and when the time came, Tong Laoer laughed at her and didn't dare to go. We hired a carriage and went north out of Huguan, and when I passed by Jinyang, I lifted the cotton curtain and looked out, the huge city of Jinyang City was hidden in the gray snow and mist, and it looked very far away.

At this time, it has been almost a year since I left Jinyang at the beginning of the year, and I don't know how Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and our brothers are doing. Is Li Zhong still so noisy, whether Ren Qiang continues to study his bald marksmanship, Wang Shihao and Fan Jianghui They don't know if they have mixed up with an official and a half-position in the army. My thoughts began to wander again, crossing the mountains and rivers, to see if Hongchang was doing well this year, whether her tall and dark horse could be sold, or whether she had already listened to her father's words, and now I don't know whose family she promised to be a well-behaved daughter-in-law, and I don't know if she is doing well now.

My eyes began to moisten, Huang Haitang noticed something unusual, and said in surprise: "It's still early to go to Hengshan, why are you so scared that your unpromising yellow dog son is so scared?!"

But after thinking about it, I learned a new phrase again, and I will definitely make fun of Zhang Wenyuan when I go back.

When I arrived in Dai County after leaving Dingxiang, the endless mountains of Wutai Mountain became clear through the wind and snow. It was getting colder, and I kept breathing in my hands, and then rubbing it back and forth, thinking that I would be better. Huang Haitang saw it and quietly took my hand and put it in her palm, and soon a warmth surged up along my palm, and after a while, my whole body warmed up. Looking at Huang Haitang again, she pretended not to care, her eyes were staring at other places easily, but a touch of red on her neck was quietly opening in the cold snow.
