The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

A group of officials in black and high crowns stood on the road.

Xun Zhen drove the horse to the front, dismounted and walked forward to meet them.

The two people standing at the front of the officers, one was in his forties, with a national face and a long beard under his chin. Although he was not as old as the officer in his forties, he was tall, but he was a head taller than that man. Not only was he tall, but he was also burly. Among this group of officers, he stood out from the crowd.

Surrounded by Xi Zhicai and others who also dismounted from the horse, Xun Zhen smiled and walked towards them quickly.

On the way, while walking, Xun Zhen calmly looked at the two people in front of her.

He thought to himself, "I heard that Cao Zanghong of Guangling's meritorious deeds is tall and burly, and he should be Zang Hong in his thirties this year; the one next to him is Yuan Sui, the chief bookkeeper."

Both Zang Hong and Yuan Sui were from Guangling County. Yuan Sui had been serving in the County for a long time, while Zang Hong had only served in the County the year before.

Yuan Sui is fine, Xun Zhen is not familiar with him, but Xun Zhen has heard about Zang Hong's name for a long time.

Knowing Zang Hong's name in the previous life is from the book. When the princes asked Dong, they set up a sour jujube alliance. Just like the Secretary-General of the United Nations in later generations never came from the five major countries, the princes who asked Dong also pushed one by one. Jean, refused to take the oath on the altar, so they pushed Zang Hong to be the host of the oath.

This world knows the name of Zang Hong because Zang Hong has a very famous father, even if he made Zang Min, the general of the Huns.

In the first year of Xiping, Xu Zhao, a native of Kuaiji, rebelled and called himself a great general. He had tens of thousands of people, and the local government could not control it. The court made Zang Min the prefect of Yangzhou. After Zang Min took office, he fought for three years and pacified the chaos. In the sixth year of Xiping, Zang Min took the position of the Xiongnu Zhonglang General, and together with the Karasuma Colonel Xia Yu and the Xianbei Zhonglang General Tian Min each led ten thousand cavalry, split out of the fortress, and attacked the Xianbei, but this time they failed. He won, but was defeated by Tan Shihuai, who was the leader of the Xianbei at the time. Seventy-eight of tens of thousands of soldiers died. This defeat had a far-reaching impact on the Han family. After this battle, the frontier elites of the Han family suffered heavy losses. , until now has not slowed down.

Although the battle against Xianbei was a big defeat, strictly speaking, the responsibility was not on Zang Min, so although Zang Min was convicted and reduced to the common people, it was revived later, and Yi Lang started anew and moved. Two thousand stone, calendar Zhongshan, Taiyuan prefect.

Xun Zhen was concerned about the military, and of course she was no stranger to Zang Min, so she heard the name of Zang Hong many years ago in this world.

There is a saying: A tiger father has no dog son.

Zang Min is famous all over the world, and Zang Hong is also an outstanding individual.

When he was fifteen years old, he was worshipped by the court as a boy boy. "Lang" means the official officer, and "boy" refers to minors. This was originally a post granted by the Han family to "minors who are familiar with Confucian classics."—— This is a very honorable title, and it can be said that later generations such as "Children" and "Juvenile" come from it.

To be honest, in terms of Zang Hong’s own Confucian cultivation, he may not be qualified to be worshipped as a boy boy. He got this honorable title mainly because of his father’s military exploits. This is also a common one. Such phenomena, such as Yuan Shao, also once "became a young man". In the study of classics, Yuan Shao is not particularly outstanding. Obviously, he got this position because of his family background, but to be honest, Zang Hong himself is indeed very good. , After being worshipped as a boy boy, he entered Taixue to study, and he soon stood out as a "well-known Taixue". In addition, he was burly and different from ordinary people. Therefore, a few years later, he was honored as filial piety by the county. inexpensive.

During the reign of Emperor Shun, according to the suggestion of Shang Shulang Zuo Xiong, it was stipulated that those who should be filial and honest must be at least forty years old. In other words, most people who can be named filial piety before the age of forty are extremely outstanding talents—of course, it may also be a powerful person, such as Cao Cao, who was named filial piety at the age of 20. inexpensive.

But having said that, Cao Cao not only has outstanding talents, but also has deep attainments in Confucian classics. Therefore, he was regarded as a filial piety at a young age. It is not entirely dependent on the shadow of his ancestors and fathers. Deserved.

Zang Hong is the same.

After being named Xiaolian, he was worshipped as a senior official. This man is different from the "young man". "Young man" is more of an honorary title, but being elected as a man of honor as a filial piety is one of the country's official reserve officials, that is, three bureau officers, and he is also "three bureau officers". One of the most enviable members of the group, "Xiao Lian Lang" has always been the most outstanding and promising group among the three bureaus. Another example is Cao Cao. Worship for Langguan.

When he was fifteen years old, he was a boy boy. When he was more than twenty years old, the county elected Xiaolian, and he immediately became "Xiaolian Lang".

Such qualifications, whether in the past or in the present, are very dazzling.

If there is no change, it is foreseeable that Zang Hong's future is bound to be bright.

The fact is also true. After he was worshipped as Lang, the imperial court selected people from among the three bureau chiefs to make up for the county magistrate. "Three bureau chiefs" were the reserve officials of the imperial court. When there were vacancies in local counties and counties, the imperial court usually It is to choose people from the three bureaus to make up, and among the three bureaus, Xiaolian Lang is the most preferred choice. Therefore, Zang Hong and the same county Zhao Yu, Donghai Wanglang, Donglai Liu Yao and others All were selected to serve as local county magistrates.

Although the rank of the county magistrate is not as good as that of the magistrate, he is also the ruler of one place.

In his twenties, he can be the ruler of a land, and if he continues to develop like this, it can take ten years as early as possible, and at the most fifteen years later, Zang Hong may be able to become two thousand stones.

However, the rebellions in the Yellow Turbans, Heishan, Liangzhou and other places are gradually rising, and the situation in the world soon seems to be out of control. In such a war, it is better to return home than to be a county magistrate in a foreign place. Therefore, Zang Hong is there. Abandoned officials and returned home last year.

Although he is young, he has rich and solid qualifications. Tong Zi Lang, Xiao Lian Lang, and the former county magistrate. In addition, his deceased father is the former Erqianshi, and he is famous in the country. In addition, the Tibetan clan is also one of the Guangling family members. The right surname is the Guan family, and Zhang Chao, who was then the prefect of Guangling, appointed him as a military officer in the county.

This time he came to pick up Xun Zhen, first because he was a subordinate, and secondly because of Zhang Chao's order.

Although Zang Hong did not know Xun Zhen, Xun Zhen had a great reputation in the past two years, especially the execution of Ye Zhao, which pushed his reputation to a peak, so it was as if Xun Zhen had never met Zang Hong but knew him quite well. As in the past, Zang Hong has also been well-known for Xun Zhen for a long time. He probably knew about Xun Zhen's situation, knew that he was standing at a young age, came from a famous family, and had a good appearance. Therefore, when he saw a man in his thirties with a black robe. When the young man of swordsmanship walked towards him, he immediately knew that this one was Xun Zhen.

——Xun Zhen did not wear official uniforms, nor did she wear a seal ribbon. This is because the current prefect of Guangling, Zhang Chao, has not left the country. In order to show his respect for Zhang Chao, he did so.

Zang Hong is a meritorious officer, above the head of the board, and has the highest status among the officials present. According to the custom, the lower officials greet the senior officials when they arrive, just like the master greets the distinguished guests, he must hold a broom to show The county has been cleaned up and is waiting for you to take office. This broom is in Zang Hong's hands.

Seeing Xun Zhen coming, Zang Hong held a broom and took the lead with Yuan Sui, hurriedly leading the officials to walk forward to greet him.

As he walked forward, Zang Hong thought to himself: "I have heard for a long time that Xun Jun is both a civil and a martial artist, and he is a hero in the world. Now I look at his appearance, behavior, left and right, and parts, if it is just like his name."

The two sides meet on the road.

Xi Zhicai took a step forward and said, "Marquis Xun is here, dare to ask if you are officials of Guangling County?"

Zang Hong and Yuan Sui took the lead, and all the officials bowed down in unison: "The officials and others will visit the Ming Palace."

Zang Hong is not only burly, but also has a loud voice. Although dozens of people made a sound at the same time, his voice was the loudest. It was like a flock of birds chirping, but he couldn't suppress the eagle's chirping.

Xun Zhen helped him up first, then Yuan Sui, and asked the officials behind him to get up too.

Then, he stepped back half a step, returned the salute to the officials, and then smiled at Zang Hong and Yuan Sui and said, "Although I met you for the first time, but if you guessed correctly, this person should be Zang Junziyuan. One should be Yuan Junzi far away?"

Zang Hong and Yuan Sui have similar pronunciations, one is Ziyuan and the other is Ziyuan.

Hongzhe means great water. Zang Hong's character has a "source" which is not difficult to understand.

Sui Zhe, meaning to appease, Yuan Sui's character has a word "far", which should mean "even remote places can be appeased".

Just by looking at his name and his words, it can be seen that both of them are very ambitious.

The first time they saw the future chief, Zang Hong and Yuan Sui were very polite and courteous, and they replied respectfully, "It's the subordinate."

Zang Hong was tall, more than a head taller than Yuan Sui, and more than half a head taller than Xun Zhen. He was tall and had to be respectful, so he could only bend his waist very low.

Xun Zhen has been an official for many years, especially as a senior official for many years. He has long been familiar with the aspect of "li Xian corporal". He immediately told Zang Hong to stop his waist, and then turned to Xi Zhicai and others who were left and right of the attendants and smiled: "I used to live at home. At that time, I heard that Xuzhou is so generous and chivalrous, and now I look at Ziyuan, and he is a real hero!"

He turned his head and said to Zang Hong with a smile: "Although I am a scumbag, I have the most respect for the heroic martyr, the name of Qing, I have heard it for a long time! Since Qing is a martyr in Xuzhou, why should you be restrained and bowed because of vulgarity? You bend your waist. It's uncomfortable, and I don't feel comfortable looking at it, haha."

In just two sentences, the distance with Zang Hong and Yuan Sui was shortened.

Zang Hong said in his heart, "It's been a long time since I heard that the corporal of Xun Hou opened his sleeves. It's better to see it once you hear it."

Although Xun Zhen felt that despite her high status, she was a humble corporal, but during the ceremony, Zang Hong and Yuan Sui did not relax and still maintained a respectful attitude.

Zang Hong replied: "It's just a poor name, and it's unexpectedly in the public's ear. It's filthy and clear, and I'm afraid."

Xun Zhen also knew that it was impossible to make Zang Hong, Yuan Suiru, Xi Zhicai, Cheng Jia, and others in one or two sentences. It was just a gesture to show Zang Hong, Yuan Sui and others that he was not an arrogant person, so he didn't care about Zang Hong and Yuan Sui's still respectful attitude.

He smiled and said: "If your name is just a 'simple name', then there are probably not many famous people in this world and in the four seas! How modest."

After a few conversations between the two sides, Yuan Sui said, "It's getting late, I don't know if the Ming Palace intends to stay here for a night, or?"

"I just heard Qing's words, Zhang Fujun has been waiting for me at the county hall for many days, and I am already uneasy about being late, how dare I delay any more time? In my opinion, the sooner I arrive at the county hall, the better, what do you think? "

"Follow Ming's will."

Zang Hong and Yuan Sui wanted to lead Xun Zhen ahead, but Xun Zhen abandoned the horse and changed the carriage, and asked them to accompany him in the carriage.

This abandoned horse was changed into a chariot, and Zang and Yuan entered the same seat in the chariot. First, it was because they had not entered the border of Guangling before, but from now on, they have entered Guangling County, so they must pay attention to the "Han official's prestige" and follow the imperial court. According to the rules and regulations, you can no longer ride a horse, you must change to a car. The other is to show humility. According to the imperial court system, the county governor travels. Chao hasn't left the country yet, so although Xun Zhen changed his car to drive, he didn't let Zang and Yuan guide him. At the same time, he asked Zang and Yuan to sit in the same car with him. Let's talk about Zang Hong and Yuan Sui.

Sitting down in the car, Xun Zhen chatted with Zang Hong and Yuan Sui.
