Chapter 52: A dilemma

Han'er values righteousness and ignores life and death. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Since Yanbei and Gao Ran ran back to the south, the two tacitly agreed that neither of them would mention the topic of their conversation that night outside the city. In contrast to this tacit understanding, Gao Ran didn't say anything to Yanbei about leaving.

On the way back, there were almost no waves, and the only interlude was on the road from Pingxiang City to Handan, where Yanbei turned around at Gaolan and headed for Wu'an City.

Yanbei said that he wanted to surprise Gao Ran.

When Gao Ran saw his mother, his face was not as surprised as Yan Bei imagined, but a little frightened and angry.

He thought that Yanbei was coercing his mother to hold him hostage.

This state continued to ask Yanbei and his mother to explain things clearly, and Gao Ran knew the ins and outs of the matter, although he didn't feel as much gratitude as Yan Bei imagined for this move, but he didn't have a bad feeling.

In other words, what they heard and saw along the way to the north, although Gao Ran did not make him a friend, but they had also become acquaintances.

Gao Ran knew Yan Bei's heart.

In Gao Lan's heart, Yanbei acted like an ancient ranger, just like Guo Xie when Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty was in power. But though they were the same in their ways, they did very different things.

Although they are all happy and hateful, they also believe in morality, but Guo Xie is a big ranger, and Yan Beixing is more like a king.

I don't know who taught it!

On the day that Yanbei and Gao Ran's mother and son returned to Handan, they released the news and summoned the generals' cronies that he was going to host a grand banquet to pick up the wind and wash the dust for himself.

All funds were taken from his private property.

The warriors from all over southern Hebei were naturally very happy, and only Gao Ran understood Yanbei's waiting and uneasiness.

He didn't want to clean up the dust for himself, but just wanted to have another meal and drink a pot of wine with his brothers who followed him.

The huge banquet was arranged in full swing, and the lights in Handan City were lit up for several days, although the banquet of the pseudo-Zhennan general Yanbei had nothing to do with them, but the new Guangping Taishou Yandong announced that the people of the county would be exempted from taxes for one year at the beginning of his tenure, which was great news.

Who doesn't know that Yan Dong is Yan Bei's younger brother, but the people value reality, and Yan Dong's first warrant for tax reduction and exemption is a good start for the people of Guangping County.

In late June, Yanbei's cronies in various places have entered Handan City, and these heroes and warriors who have been rampant in the old Zhao land in the past two years poured into the newly completed Yan Mansion, and the gentry from all over Guangping gathered together, which is destined to be the day of the banquet will be the beautiful scenery of Guangping County.

The dinner has not yet begun, the hall of the Zhennan General's Mansion has been laid out dozens of several cases, leaning on the top two cases are naturally one is Yanbei and one is Yandong, and the lower row is a column of generals under Yanbei and the chief bookkeeper Gong Cao of Guangping County, these people occupy nearly twenty seats, and then there are the three elders or gentry in the township, and finally the rich businessmen in the county.

Except for Yanbei's old subordinates, most of the rest of these people gave a congratulatory gift worthy of their identity when they passed through the house. Some people arrive with the ceremony, and some people do not arrive, and the ceremony is sufficient. To be honest, Yanbei's reputation is not very good in the hearts of the Jizhou gentry, and in the eyes of those who are in power, he is just a strongman who is brave and brave.

Not to mention, Jizhou alone doesn't know how many people are watching the jokes of this group of people who are temporarily powerless and strong.

But jokes are jokes, and those people are not stupid enough to be unruly at such times. What's more, this rebellion may not be an opportunity for some of the Lesser Clans.

Yan Bei was chatting with Yan Dong in the hall, and suddenly saw that the cases around Gao Ran in the hall were still empty, so he asked the servant: "Did you send the invitation to Mr. Fu to your hand?" ”

"Back to the general, it's delivered. As early as the day before yesterday, his subordinates handed the invitation to the frustrated mansion. "Yanbei's servant is none other than Chen Zhong, who insulted the woman in Zhongshan Wuji last year. Since Yanbei was whipped with him, Chen Zhong was convinced by Yanbei, and now he has resigned from the military to concentrate on being a personal guard by Yanbei's side, and said respectfully at this time: "My subordinates feel that it may be frustrated and unwilling to come......

"He doesn't want to come? No, no, you have to invite him over. Yan Bei frowned and thought for a moment, glanced at all the generals in the hall, and thought in his heart that in the future, I am afraid that it will be difficult for everyone to get together like this, and he will ask Fu Zhu to come to know him, and said to Chen Zhong at the moment: "In this way, you will go to the Fu Mansion on behalf of Yan, and you will invite Fu Zhu to come no matter what." Don't forget, don't use force, you have to let Mr. Fu know that I am here to welcome him, just wait for Mr. Fu to come to the dinner. ”

Chen Zhong's face was not very good-looking, not because Yan Bei asked him to run errands again at such a time. He was willing to run a few times, but he felt that he might not be able to meet Yanbei's expectations.

If he wants to say that the knife holder is around the neck, a group of sergeants are escorted, and it is possible for him to come over. As for good words and persuasion?

"General Hejian Zhang's He Zhennan moved to a new house, and he gave a hundred silk horses! Xiping Ju's He Yan's official worship general, ten altars of alcohol! ”

Listening to the sound of the general's mansion master's congratulatory call, Chen Zhong walked out of the mansion dejectedly, shook his head, stepped on his mount, and paced towards the frustrated mansion.

"Brother, it's only been a year, and now this Zhennan General's Mansion is a magnificent repair, and you have also certified the general's position, which is really worth celebrating!" The joy on Yan Dong's face can't be hidden, although the two brothers' cases are separated by three or five steps, Yan Dong can't wait to move his whole body to Yanbei's side, a young man with a proud face, he toasts Yanbei with a wine bottle in his hand: "Brother, please drink, congratulations for my brother!" ”

"Is there anything to celebrate today?" Yan Bei raised the wine bottle and saluted the third brother from afar, with a reserved smile on his face, but this kind of smile seemed very distant to those who were familiar with him, as if it was specially made for the guests in the hall, he raised his head and drank the wine in the bottle in one gulp, glanced at Yan Dong before whispering slowly: "In the eyes of my brother, all the spring breeze in front of me is a bad omen!" ”

All the spring breeze is a bad omen?

Yan Dong secretly chewed on his brother's words in his heart, and suddenly his heart was alarmed, and he immediately twisted his eyebrows and said softly: "It's not like what my brother said, right?" In fact, the younger brother thinks that the elder brother does not regard Zhang Gong too badly, in the fat like getting along for more than two months, Zhang Gong treats me as a teacher and a friend and is very confidant...... Pershing is dead, the grudge of the past, can't my brother let go? ”

"Past grudges?" Yan Bei shook his head secretly, his younger brother has knowledge and character, but his scheming and pattern are a little smaller, and he can't see the slightest hint of planning for the future, so how can he rest assured in the future? Thinking of this, he was even more eager for the reputation of being 'good at strategy' in the county, and turned to Yan Dong and asked: "Guangping Taishou is a pseudo-Taishou, and this position should be established in Guangping County in our hands...... The defenders in Quang Binh are all their own brothers, even if Zhang Gong sends someone else, can his decree really be smooth? It's nothing more than a favor. ”

"What about my brother's General Zhennan? It's always a real general, right? ”

The two brothers talked very quietly, and they couldn't really hear it when they walked ten steps, and Yan Bei kept having a fake smile on his face, so he didn't know that the two brothers in this hall were chatting about some short gossip in the family.

"General Zhennan, General Zhennan's authority to govern the affairs of Jing and Henan is thousands of miles away from here...... We just took the lead over the imperial court and captured most of Jizhou. Little San, don't take these flowers in the mirror as too important, you should make more friends with the generals stationed in various places under your brother's command, and take care of them once there is something in the future. You have to remember that we are rebels, the word rebellion is not important, but the army is real, and only when the troops are firmly in their own hands can these false names be able to hang their ears. ”

Yan Dong smiled and nodded, but his expression was suddenly a little sad for a while, "It would be nice if the eldest brother was alive, I don't know how happy I would be when I saw the Yan family being so noble now." ”

"Big brother alive? If the eldest brother is still alive...... I'm afraid that if I don't ask anything, just by relying on Zhang Gong's performance, he will die for Zhang Gong. ”

Their brother is a real reckless man...... As the saying goes, the nine sons of the dragon are different, and the temperaments of the three Yan brothers are also the same.

"Isn't it brother...... And two hearts? ”

Yan Dong's eyes widened in disbelief, in his opinion, his brother was really a little insatiable. Another slave of the Yan clan is like this so far, what else can't he ask for?

Could it be that his brother's heart is so difficult to accept?

He couldn't understand it.

"Alas, speaking of which, I really hope that Zhang Gong will still use you as a proton in Feiru...... If that's the case, I'll snatch you down and return to Handan City, and we'll be cut off. Yan Bei looked loveless, but there was still a slight smile on his face, which made people feel weird and funny, and sighed: "But now, Yan is unwilling, where can he give up Zhang Gong and vote elsewhere?" In any case, even if he fights for his life in the future, he will have to protect his old man to repay this kindness. ”

Yan Dong is not at home, how can he know that Yan Bei is in charge of the lives of more than 10,000 good men and is in a dilemma for the future of more than 10,000 people?

Just like Yan Bei and Gao Ran said that night...... There are some things that you know are wrong, but you have to go through them.

But can he say this to Yan Dong?

Yan Bei drank another wine, got up and looked at the sky outside the hall, and clapped his hands to order the singer Youling, who was waiting in the middle of the room, to step forward, dancing with the sound of the sheng player, beckoning the servants to serve food to many guests, but at a glance out of the corner of his eyes, he saw that the position of the depressed professor was still empty.

I can't help but feel anxious...... Could it be that even if this frustrated professor is invited again that day, he still doesn't want to come to the banquet?
