Chapter 156 Zhang Zhi's Revenge
It would be much easier to visit the Yuan family next. Yuan Shao had already written a letter back, and Wei Xuan also had several letters written by Yuan Shao to his relatives and friends. These people had pieced together and collected millions of dollars for Wei Xuan. As long as the money and food from Peiguo and Runan were in place, three to four thousand infantrymen would not have a problem with eating and drinking in a year. However, Wei Xuan now has 600 war horses and has to build weapons and armor. It is inevitable that he would ask his family to get money.
Such a loss-making business of Wei Xuan must be done, because there is no decent army that will not even be qualified to participate in the attack on Dong Zhuo in the future, let alone compete for the Central Plains!
Wei Xuan and his men spent nearly two months bringing back more than 700 people, four generals and countless money. Zhang Liao, Wei Yun and others also recruited nearly 1,000 people in Yingchuan counties as Wei Xuan told him before leaving. There were nearly 2,500 people in the entire camp.
Wei Xuan handed over the grouping matter to Xi Zhicai and Wei Yun, and divided the 600 cavalry into four parts according to Wei Xuan's wishes. Du Peng and Han * Meng each brought 200 cavalry as the main force of Wei Xuan's mobile troops and the wings of the war. Wang Qiang brought 15 cavalry as the scouts of the entire army. The three of them officially became military marquis. With Dian Wei and Xu Chu here, Du Peng would not need to be the personal guards. The remaining cavalry were handed over to Dian Wei, and Xu Chu each led twenty elite soldiers to personal guards. Although the two of them had few soldiers, they were also known as military marquis.
Originally, Zhou Cang had arranged a military marquis for Zhou Cang. Seeing that Dian Wei and Xu Chu were Wei Xuan's personal bodyguard, he also asked Pei Yuanshao to take over the bench to lead an infantry song, and then Liu Ming and Yang Ling each led a song, and Sima Zhang Liao also led a song.
The training is naturally followed by Wei Xuan’s new exercises. He runs around the field in the early morning, trains in each queuing in the morning, and trains in the afternoon. The battle formation training is led by Zhang Liao, and Liu Ming and Yang Ling are led by the team training.
Everyone above the team and the garrison commander will have tasks to go to the evening after the training is completed in the afternoon, which is to recognize words and military strategy training. In the early stage, they will recognize words and have a specified deadline assessment. If they fail to meet the requirements, they will be demoted.
After arranging all this, Wei Xuan naturally had to be a hand-off manager. In addition to running with all the soldiers in the morning, most of the training was just to watch outside the venue and then find opportunities to have lunch together. Of course, Wei Xuan's focus was to gain reputation in Yangdi, Changshe, Yingyin and other places.
During the period when Wei Xuan was out, there were many letters coming from Hedong. Wei Yun did not send anyone to him as soon as possible according to Wei Xuan's instructions. Now it seems that Hedong has changed a lot. First of all, the harvest this year is good. With the Quyuan Plough and the Dragon Bones Water Cart, the harvest of the land of the Wei family in Hedong and the prefecture's office organized by the Mintun has increased significantly.
What Wei Xuan cares about the most is that Wei He finally tinkered with paper and soy sauce, especially paper, which is better than Zuo Bo paper, which is popular today. In addition, when it is close to Hanoi, a large amount of bamboo is used to make paper. Wei He also took his own initiative to name this new paper Xuan paper! This is naturally good news for Wei Xuan, who is in urgent need of money. Luxury products like paper are most suitable to make money from wealthy families.
Ma Jun did a good job, and the people from Baihutang had already brought his family and some close tribe members to Anyi. Because of the movements garrisoned in Hedong, the matters of Masan and Stirrup could only be studied quietly and were not used on a large scale. Now, Anyi is mainly to satisfy Xu Huang's subordinates, and there is excess iron ore mainly used to produce armor. Ma Jun's main task is to develop a gravity catapult based on the drawings left by Wei Xuan.
Wei Su also wrote a letter to Wei Xuan. In addition to reminding him to do things seriously, he also agreed to Wei Xuan's request for marriage between famous scholars in Yuyingchuan. Before leaving Yangdi to Chenliu, Wei Xuan went to Guojiazhuang several times with Xi Zhicai. Now Guo Jia is only eighteen years old. Although his surname is Guo, he is not valued because of his poverty. Xi Zhicai also appreciates his intelligence. In addition, he is also from a poor family, but Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia did not know that Wei Xuan was already planning to marry his sister to Guo Jia.
Wei Xuan was not worried about Guo Jia and the Guo family's opposition. Although the Wei family in Hedong is not as famous as the Yuan family in Runan, it is also a high-ranking family. Moreover, Wei Su is now the Grand Tutor, Wei Xuan is now a captain of two thousand stones, and Wei Ji is the Wenxi Order of Qianshi, and he may become a minister. Although Wei Wan was born to her concubine, Guo Jia is now enough.
Wei Xuan was worried that his father Wei Su would not agree, but he did not expect that he would agree. It was Xu Huang who surprised the Wei family, and Guo Jia was from a famous family in Yingchuan.
Next, we will naturally have to trouble Xi Zhicai's husband. Wei Xuan is considered to be a dependent on Xi Zhicai and asked him to handle this marriage well.
So on this day, the opera Zhi made an appointment with Guo Jia's elders and led Wei Xuan from the military camp to Guojiazhuang.
The meeting between the two sides was quite pleasant. Not to mention the Wei family’s family background, the heroic Wei Xuan alone was a good advertisement. Guo Jia’s elders also knew that Wei Xuan’s two sisters were married to a famous Yingchuan family, so they were very happy with Wei Xuan’s proposal. The only surprise they were that Wei Xuan chose Guo Jia.
Although Guo Jia is a young man, of course he has also heard about Wei Xuan's deeds over the past year. Especially the drinker Xi Zhicai has now followed Wei Xuan and made Guo Jia look at him with admiration. You should know that Xi Zhicai has rejected the two prefects in a row.
With the matchmaker Xi Zhicai, Wei Xuan just conveyed the attitudes of his father Wei Su and his mother and completed the task. The next specific operation is naturally a mess with Xi Zhicai, Wei Yun, the representative of the Wei family, and the representative of the Guo family. According to the election, it is estimated that the two will get married until they get married.
After having lunch in Guojiazhuang, Wei Xuan took people to the military camp. Although he was not responsible for specific matters, the recruits had just formed an army and still had to strengthen contact with these people, especially in the future, these people may be very important teams for him. At least the team leader and the garrison leader must be familiar with them.
The military camp was northwest of Yangdi and Guojiazhuang was southeast of Yangdicheng, so Wei Xuan and his group did not enter Yangdi City back and forth.
But no one expected that an ordinary trip would have an accident. After Wei Xuan and others left Guojiazhuang for four or five miles, they suddenly rushed out of the wilderness. They had been hiding on both sides of the road before, and after confirming Wei Xuan's identity, they came up and took action.
No one expected that the dignified imperial lieutenant would be attacked only three or four miles away from Yangdi City. And the number of people was nearly two hundred.
Xi Zhi was from Yangdi, and soon he recognized the guests who came to attack Zhang Zhi's family! Two hundred people dealt with more than twenty people, and the situation was too passive. So he anxiously said to Wei Xuan: "Lord, Zhang Zhi is prepared, you go first. Zhou Cang, you take the cavalry guard and the lieutenant to leave first."
Zhou Cang did not move, he looked at Wei Xuan. Wei Xuan was riding on the snow-treated black horse, smiling at the people rushing out from both sides of the road and said with a smile: "Awei, Zhongkang, today is enjoyable, no matter how much life or death. Zifu, please take care of a few people, wait and let the fight go. Don't let someone run away."
The three of them nodded and grinned, and Xi Zhicai looked confused. The young captain was preparing to fight with others. Even so, he should send someone to Yangdi City or the military camp to report the news first.
It was indeed a guest of Zhang Zhi's family. Since Wei Xuan came to Yangdi on the first day and took the opportunity to pull him out of the carriage and beat him up, Zhang Zhi has been looking for opportunities to retaliate. As a result, Wei Xuan took people to Chenliu, and it took nearly two months to leave. These days, Zhang Zhi heard that Wei Xuan had returned to Yangdi, so he thought about finding opportunities to retaliate. However, he did not dare to go to the military camp. There were countless people in it. Unexpectedly, today the merchants from the manor outside his city came to report that Wei Xuan brought more than 20 people to the east and didn't know what to do.
Zhang Zhi kept watching, and finally waited for Wei Xuan and others to leave Guojiazhuang to prepare???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????.., guests were arranged to attack Wei Xuan on the road. He was just going to take revenge.
However, Zhang Zhi, who was in the manor at this moment, had never imagined that there was another scene at the scene. In addition to Wei Xuan, Xi Zhicai and Wei Yun, there were twenty-three people, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and Zhou Cang, and the rest were the most elite selected from the 600 cavalrymen.
Of course, these cavalry are not the point. The key is that two men, Dian Wei and Xu Chu, face the Zhang family guests who rushed up, and they killed each other. One man waved his two iron halberds left and right, and one man slashed with four feet of swords up and down. Wherever he passed, he flew everywhere and screamed, so that Zhou Cang didn't know where to take him. Twenty cavalrymen left four guards on both sides of Wei Xuan, and the others rushed out with Dian Wei and Xu Chu.
Zhou Cang also wanted to rush, but was stopped by Xi Zhicai: "Zifu, it is important to protect the lieutenant."
Wei Xuan waved his hand and smiled, "Brother Zhicai, don't be nervous. Just the rookies of the Zhang family came to deliver the corpses. Zifu, you should be careful not to let them go back to bring reinforcements."
After hearing Wei Xuan's words, Zhou Cang finally rushed out. He was heading towards the side where Zhang Zhi's manor was. Dian Wei was shooting his bow from left to right, and Zhou Cang didn't want to fall behind. He shot one spear in his hand, constantly poking the guests of the Zhang family to the ground.
At the same time, more than a dozen cavalry soldiers were divided into two groups, either using long spears or long swords. However, before close combat, they did not waste the crossbows on their backs on their bodies. They aimed at the crowds rushing over in a dense manner, and shot over a dozen people in an instant.
Then these guys hung their crossbows on their backs in a tacit understanding and rushed into the crowd and began to chop and kill wildly.
The guests of Zhang Zhi's family received orders to attack Wei Xuan, but the orders they received could injure Wei Xuan, but they could not cause serious injuries and could not kill people. So at the beginning, these people kept their hands, but they had already fallen down more than 30 people before they even met Wei Xuan. Basically, some of them were missing arms and legs, and some were directly cut off their necks by two nightmares. This made the guests dumbfounded!
