Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 114: Promoted to Hundred Leader
During the next few days of marching, Zhang Sui, the second son Zhen Yan and the second daughter Zhen Mi were all in a good mood.

In the evening, while eating, Zhang Sui continued to tell everyone about the enlightenment movies he had watched.

Although the second lady Zhen Mi looked disgusted, she did not avoid him.

Hanging out with these men, she gradually understood what her mother once said: There is no man who is not lustful.

On the seventh day of the march, the army finally arrived at Qinghe County next to Quliang.

The army set up camp outside Qinghe County.

The lady actually rushed to Quliang from Wuji County with her housekeeper!

Afterwards, he rode non-stop and personally escorted a large amount of food and fodder!

The eldest son Yuan Tan and the deputy driver Tian Feng were both very satisfied with the performance of the Zhen family.

They are short of food!
Jizhou has been at war in recent years.

Although the Yuan family is a top-notch aristocratic family with three generations of officials.

However, it is extremely difficult to collect taxes from the major families in Jizhou.

This time, the Zhen family took the initiative to send food and fodder, and it was such a large amount.

The eldest son Yuan Tan and his deputy Tian Feng personally met the lady and held a banquet for her. They also invited the second son Zhen Yan and the second daughter Zhen Mi.

In the general's tent, the eldest son Yuan Tan repeatedly expressed his gratitude to his lady.

After the banquet, the eldest son Yuan Tan smiled and said to his wife: "This is my first time meeting Zhen Lang. I think he looks weak and frail."

"I didn't expect that Zhen Lang would be so brave in this battle."

"It's really unobtrusive, yet admirable."

Madam looked at the second son Zhen Yan with a gentle smile on her face, and said to the eldest son Yuan Tan and the deputy driver Tian Feng: "It is all thanks to the cultivation of the eldest son and the deputy driver."

The eldest son Yuan Tan shook his head and said, "We dare not take credit for it. It is obvious that the Zhen family has good family education."

After a pause, the eldest son Yuan Tan looked at his wife and the second son Zhen Yan and said, "Madam, Mr. Zhen, it is like this. Because it is not easy to transport food and grass, we have to reduce the number of troops in the future."

"I have discussed this with my deputy driver these past few days, and we both think that it would be a waste of talent for Zhen Lang to continue following us."

"So, after we discussed it, we made a decision."

"My deputy and I will submit a petition to the Jizhou government, recommending that Zhen Lang take 800 people from your Zhen family to Quliang and serve as the Quliang magistrate. What do you think?"

"I originally thought that since Zhen Lang is so talented, it would be better for him to be the county magistrate in Wuji County."

"However, our Han Dynasty has a law regarding official positions. Officials cannot hold the highest positions in their local area."

"And the Zhen family has assets in Quliang."

"It feels like the best choice to let Zhen Lang benefit the people in Quliang."

The lady hurriedly pulled the second son Zhen Yan to pay his respects.

The eldest son quickly motioned for them to stand up and said, "Please don't be so polite."

"You deserve this."

He then looked at the second son Zhen Yan and encouraged him, "Zhen Lang, your Zhen family's ancestors were famous at one time, you must not bring shame to your Zhen family's reputation."

The second young master Zhen Yan responded.

Suddenly, the second young lady Zhen Mi said, "There are nine hundred people from our Zhen family here."

The lady also looked at the eldest son Yuan Tan in confusion.

The eldest son Yuan Tan smiled and said, "It's like this. Among the nine hundred people of your Zhen family, including the deputy general Zhang Sui, one hundred of them have performed exceptionally well. The deputy driver just happened to have a task to assign to them, so they had no choice but to stay."

The lady's pretty face turned a little pale.

Let Zhang Sui stay?

But what could she say?
The eldest son Yuan Tan and his deputy driver Tian Feng were willing to let their second son and second daughter go back with 800 people because they had already shown great favor by personally escorting the food and grass this time.

Not to mention, they also personally submitted a petition to the Jizhou government to allow themselves to become the Quliang Ling this time.

We can still take away 800 people.

Taking some of these eight hundred people back to Wuji County would be enough to intimidate other aristocratic families.

The lady could only force a smile and say thank you.

Afterwards, the lady left with the second son Zhen Yan and the second daughter Zhen Mi.

The three of them parted ways.

The second son Zhen Yan and the second daughter Zhen Mi continued to report back to the camp and would not be ready to separate from the main army until tomorrow.

The lady and others were also arranged in the military camp, but in a corner.

Looking at the backs of the second son Zhen Yan and the second daughter Zhen Mi as they left, the lady sighed deeply and then hurried back to her tent.

Arriving at the tent, the lady stood inside, looking at the night sky outside the tent, feeling indescribably melancholy. She couldn't take Zhang Sui away.

I have to worry about him all the time.

On the other side, Zhang Sui was having dinner with everyone in the tent.

But a soldier came in and said, "Zhang Sui, the deputy driver wants you to go to the commander's tent, immediately!"

Zhang Sui hurriedly put down his bowl and chopsticks and ran to the general's tent.

When he rushed to the general's tent, he saw the eldest son Yuan Tan and the deputy driver Tian Feng were both there.

Seeing Zhang Sui coming, Tian Feng, the deputy driver, said, "You are now in the 900 people of the Zhen family. Choose 100 outstanding ones to stay in the army, and you will be the captain. The other 800 people, let them leave with the Zhen family tomorrow."

Zhang Sui: “.”

Are we going to separate so soon?
However, Zhang Sui took action immediately.

In fact, this is a good thing.

It is not easy to achieve success.

One will become famous and all bones will wither.

If this continues, most people will die.

According to historical records, in the end of this chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, less than 10% of the people survived.

It would be better for these people to withdraw from the battlefield as soon as possible.

As for myself, I really can't leave.

First of all, a man who knows the current situation is a hero. Since the eldest son Yuan Tan and the deputy driver Tian Feng have taken a fancy to me, if I don't obey them, it will basically be a dead end.

Secondly, he really needed to make achievements and earn a good status so that he could marry his wife and Hongyu.

Zhang Sui rushed to the tent of 900 Zhen family members, woke them up, selected 100 people including team leader Zhen Hao and Huang Han, and the other 800 people, and asked them to leave with the second son Zhen Yan and the second daughter Zhen Mi tomorrow.

For a moment, some were happy and some were sad.

Zhang then wrote down the names of the hundred men, and went to the general's tent to give the list to the eldest son Yuan Tan and his deputy Tian Feng.

The eldest son Yuan Tan is not here.

Only the deputy driver Tian Feng was busy.

After taking a look at Zhang Sui's list, Tian Feng nodded with satisfaction.

It's not easy to accomplish this in such a short time.

However, Tian Feng looked at the name registered by Zhang Sui with some surprise.

He recognized some of the words.

Even he couldn't recognize some of the words.

Zhang Sui lied without blushing or beating his heart, "This is what the master left in the bamboo slips."

“These are simplified characters.”

"The teacher said that some of the current characters are too complicated and not conducive to learning."

Tian Feng was a little surprised.

After listening to Zhang Sui reading out the names one by one and finding that they were the same as the characters he was familiar with, he let Zhang Sui go.

It has turned completely dark.

Zhang Sui was about to go back.

Passing by the Zhen family convoy, Zhang Sui hesitated for a moment, and seeing that no one was paying special attention to him, he walked over quickly.

After this departure, I don’t know when we will meet again.

Maybe, I will die in battle next time, and then we will never have the chance to meet again.

Although wandering around the military camp at night is very risky.

However, he had an excuse: to send the list to Tian Feng!
Zhang Sui rushed to the caravan and quickly found the tent where his wife was.

At this time, the lady was not asleep at all.

She just stood at the door of the curtain, staring blankly at the night sky.

It was dark in her curtains, and there was no light.

When the lady saw Zhang Sui appear, her expression lit up with joy and she was about to go and greet him.

But when the words came to her lips, the lady swallowed them back.

Seeing Zhang Sui coming over, the lady whispered, "What are you doing here so late at night?"
