Late Han Zhao Tang

Chapter 33 Agitation

Thousands of miles away, Wang Ji was removing her makeup in front of the mirror, her mind already drifting to her lover Zhang Yu.

"My daughter has fair skin. This green scarf suits her very well." Hongniang said with a smile as she helped Wang Ji comb her hair.

Wang Ji was absent-minded and only responded softly.

As if she could see what Wang Ji was thinking, Hongniang pretended to sigh and said, "It seems something happened to Mr. Zhang."

"what's up?"

Wang Ji came back to his senses and asked worriedly, "But were the Hu people injured in the surprise attack?"

"Whee!"

Hongniang smiled and said, "It seems that the young lady is thinking about Mr. Zhang right now."

Wang Ji rolled his eyes at Hongniang in the mirror and said, "Don't say these things carelessly. If my father hears them, it might affect Zhang Lang's marriage proposal."

Hongniang combed Wang Ji's waist-length black hair and said admiringly, "Mr. Zhang is indeed resourceful and brave. He was able to destroy a large tribe of nearly 10,000 people with only a hundred men. This is truly unprecedented and admirable."

Since Zhang's family spent money to spread Zhang Yu's reputation, the story of Zhang Yu killing the Hu people has become more and more outrageous. First, Zhang Yu led a hundred cavalry as the vanguard, and cooperated with more than 200 follow-up troops to destroy a tribe of more than 3,000 people.

According to folk legends, Zhang Yu led a hundred cavalrymen in a surprise attack and displayed his great power, directly destroying a large tribe of nearly 10,000 people.

After all, more than 3,000 people are thousands of people, and 7,000 or 8,000 people are also thousands of people. The story was passed around, and in order to highlight Zhang Yu's power, the number of cadres turned into a tribe of tens of thousands.

Wang Ji smiled, obviously very satisfied with Zhang Yu's achievements. The man she liked was not an ordinary person.

After a moment's humming, Wang Ji seemed to remember something and asked, "How did my father react when he heard the news that Ji'an's hundred cavalrymen had defeated the Hu?"

Hongniang thought for a moment and said with a smile, "The master was reuniting with his friends when a servant reported that Mr. Zhang had defeated the Hu people with his hundred cavalrymen. The master clapped his hands and said to his friends, 'This boy joined us this year to learn military skills. I didn't expect that he would be able to do such a great job after returning home. He really lived up to my teachings in the past.'"

Because of his fight with eunuchs, Wang Hong was dismissed from his post as the governor of Hongnong and returned home. In recent years, he has taught many students, but there are very few who are truly outstanding, and even fewer who can achieve results.

This year, Zhang Yu was beyond his expectations. As the son of a powerful frontier county introduced by Guo Yu, Wang Hong was only surprised by Zhang Yu's excellent riding and archery skills. To be honest, he was not that interested in Zhang Yu's teaching.

It was not until Zhang Yu showed a different kind of comprehension that Wang Hong took more time to cultivate him. He taught him "The Art of War" and prepared to train him. He then sent him to the army to serve and he became Wang's disciple and former official.

Now Zhang Yu's performance has exceeded Wang Hong's imagination. He defeated the Hu tribe with only a hundred cavalrymen, shot and killed the leader, and killed the enemy chief in battle. It can be said that he has performed beyond expectations.

In this situation, how could Wang Hong, who once taught Zhang Yu, not be happy?
Especially when friends visit him, Wang Hong needs to brag about his outstanding teaching ability.

After all, some people love fame, some love money, and some love being an official. Wang Hong obviously belongs to the type who loves fame, otherwise he would not have chosen to fight to the death with the eunuchs when he was appointed as the governor of Hongnong.

Wang Ji smiled, revealing her charming dimples, and said, "Father is so happy. When Ji An comes to ask for marriage in a few days, father will not be embarrassed!"

Hongniang frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "The master of the house appreciates Mr. Zhang, and now that the daughter is here to speak, the master may agree. I'm just afraid that the lady despises Mr. Zhang's family background and is unwilling to marry the daughter to him."

"nothing!"

Wang Ji smiled and said, "If father agrees, considering Madam's personality, she will probably agree as well. I am worried that Zhang Lang's reputation is weak, and even with my help, it will be difficult for my father to agree."

"Zhang Lang is now famous outside. He is brave, resourceful and smart. He has everything. Sooner or later he will achieve great things. With my help, it shouldn't be difficult for father to agree!"

"It's good for Qianjin to know what's going on!"

Hongniang pinned her hair up and fixed it with a hairpin. She looked at Wang Ji's stunning appearance in the mirror and said with a smile, "A beauty worth a thousand gold coins will be given to Mr. Zhang in the future."

After a pause, Hongniang thought of Zhang Yu's appearance and added, "Mr. Zhang is very talented and handsome. Together with Qian Jin, they are a perfect match."

"Ok!"

Wang Ji looked at herself in the mirror and smiled secretly in her heart: "I am so beautiful. If I can't find a man with both talent and beauty, wouldn't it be a disgrace to myself?"

While Wang Ji was delighted, she had no idea that she had been stolen by Li Suyi!

The cold moon is clear and beautiful, the boudoir is filled with fragrance, love words are endless, and the mandarin ducks are whispering.

That night, Li Suyi was full of energy, and although she was new to the battlefield, she was able to linger with Zhang Yu for a long time. And Zhang Yu was no fool, his superb skills and outstanding energy made Li Suyi unforgettable that cold night.

After that night, Li Suyi returned to her former demeanor, with only a hint of charm in her eyes and brows, suggesting that she was no longer a girl.

Zhang Yu lived a life of going back and forth between the two points, either in the Wu or in the Shiyi tribe. In order to get acquainted with the Hu people, Zhang Yu simply asked the six young men he had taught to move to the Shiyi tribe together.

At the tribal management level, Zhang Yu arranged Li Song to enter the Shiyi tribe, responsible for managing the civil affairs of the three tribes, and formulated regulations based on the customs of the grassland in order to regulate the words and deeds of the Hu people.

In order to cultivate his own confidants, Zhang Yu selected five young Hu people from the three tribes and formed them into a squad with six Han people. His cousin Zhang Maoshan served as the squad leader and practiced riding, archery and martial arts with Zhang Yu.

In the evening, inside the Shiyi tribe.

Beside the campfire, Zhang Maoshan and Qiu Dunqiwu, with their arms bare, grabbed each other's arms under the gaze of the people around them, and looked for the weaknesses in each other's lower body with their feet, both trying to knock the other down.

"Fall!" Zhang Maoshan showed off his weakness and tripped Qiu Dunqiwu to the ground. Then Zhang Maoshan tightened his tendons and roared at the audience around him, showing his bravery.

Seeing this, the people around immediately shouted and cheered for the winner Zhang Maoshan.

"color!"

Zhang Yu clapped his hands and stood up, patting Zhang Maoshan on the shoulder and saying with a smile: "Not only can you study, but you also have some martial arts skills. Well done!"

As he spoke, Zhang Yu pulled Qiu Dunqiwu up and said with a smile, "You are a little inferior to Maoshan in wrestling. I wonder if you can listen to Maoshan's orders from now on!"

Qiu Dunqiwu looked a little ashamed and said, "From now on, all matters in Shizhong will be handled by you, brother. I will obey you without hesitation."

Qiu Dunqiwu was a young man in the Jiuchi cadre. He was aggressive and witty. Because of his outstanding performance, he was valued by Zhang Yu and became one of the Han and Hu young men.

These eleven young men were unruly and difficult to obey. Therefore, Qiu Dunqiwu always opposed Zhang Maoshan in the camp.

With Zhang Yu's consent, the two sides decided the winner by wrestling. Fortunately, Zhang Maoshan had followed Zhang Yu for a long time and often practiced with him, so he had some martial arts skills and finally defeated Qiu Dunqiwu.

"it is good!"

Zhang Yu laughed loudly and said, "Today is a happy day, so I will give you two some wine and meat."

"promise!"

When Zhang Yu was chatting with his confidant, Li Suyi appeared beside Zhang Yu out of nowhere, wearing a brown cloak, standing straight, and looking very tall.

Zhang Yu gave a few instructions to everyone and then left with Li Suyi.

On the way, Zhang Yu asked, "Why is Su Yi here?"

Li Suyi stood on tiptoe, showing a bit of pride on her face, and said: "Why can't I be here?"

"In terms of status, I am your wife. When you are not around, I can still command them!"

Zhang Yu pulled Li Suyi back to the tent and said with a wry smile: "Suyi, keep your voice down. You haven't married yet. If outsiders hear you, it might hurt your reputation."

"Humph!"

Li Suyi sat on the chair and snorted, "It's not a big deal to damage my reputation. I'm not afraid of that!"

"From the dock to the Shiyi tribe, what's the matter?" Zhang Yu poured a glass of water for Li Suyi and asked.

"My uncle said that the gifts for proposing marriage are ready, and asked you to take some people with you and prepare to set off in a few days to go to Qi County to propose marriage." Li Suyi said with a difficult tone.

Hearing this, Zhang Yu knew that his sister was jealous. He put his arm around Li Suyi's tight waist and said softly, "Don't be angry about this. If it really doesn't work out, I won't go to Qi County to ask for marriage."

Although she knew Zhang Yu was fooling her, Li Suyi didn't care. She softened her tone and said sourly, "If you don't ask for marriage from Miss Wang, I'm afraid my uncle and my mother will be angry about it."

After Li Suyi gave her body to Zhang Yu, with Zhang Yu's efforts, Zhang Ji and Li's mother confirmed that after Zhang Yu got married, he would marry Li Suyi.

Li's mother raised Zhang Yu since he was a child and treated him as her own son. Therefore, when Zhang Yu proposed to marry Wang Qianjin, Li's mother was the supporter.

Zhang Yu put his warmed hands into the gap, caressing her smooth, tight body, and said teasingly, "My body is already owned by Su Yi, how can Su Yi not be happy?"

Li Suyi's body went limp, and she said shyly, "Why don't you go back to the dock earlier?"

"It's getting late today. It's not too late to go back tomorrow!"

Zhang Yu gently rubbed and picked, and said with a smile: "If I let go now, I'm afraid you will be angry!"

Li Suyi turned over and sat on Zhang Yu's waist, snorting coldly: "I want you to remember me in your heart when you propose marriage."

After that, the lights in the tent were blown out, leaving only the dim oil lamp. The light flickered, casting the shadows of the two people on the felt tent, and the woman's amazing figure could be vaguely seen.

Since Li Suyi first tasted it, she gradually became addicted to it, and she didn't know how many times she had been with Zhang Yu. Needless to say, today was another bloody storm.

……

The next day, Zhang Yu brought a dozen people and returned to the dock with Li Suyi.

After two days of packing up in the dock, Zhang Ji left Zhang Yang in the dock to look after the house, and he and Zhang Yu led fifty Han and Hu riders, carrying generous gifts for marriage, and set out on the road to Dalu Mountain.

At the same time, on the fifth day of the second month, Tang Zhou of the Taiping Dao informed the Han court that Zhang Jue was planning to lead the Taiping Dao followers in a rebellion. The Han court was shocked and they tore Ma Yuanyi to pieces and issued an order to hunt down Zhang Jue.

Three days later, Zhang Jue started the uprising ahead of schedule, calling himself "General Tian Gong" and using the slogan "The blue sky is dead, the yellow sky should be established, the year is Jia Zi, and the world is auspicious" as his slogan, and led millions of Yellow Turbans in rebellion.

But Zhang had just arrived in Yanmen and was still unaware of the shock in the Central Plains.
