In the hall of the Pengcheng Prefecture Governor's Mansion, there were two middle-aged men in robes.

One of them was tall, with a grim face, a frowning brow, a pair of piercing eyes with a nose shaped like an eagle's hook standing underneath, a large mouth, and a green beard hanging on his chin, which was Zhang Zhao Zhang Zibu.

Sitting opposite Zhang Zhao is Zhang Hong Zhang Zigang, compared with Zhang Zhao's majestic figure, Zhang Hong looks a little dwarfed, he is short, round face, single eyelids, small eyes, seems to be closed but not closed, seems to be open, but the essence of the Tao shoots out from the small eyelids, giving people a feeling that cannot be underestimated.

Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong both moved their families to Jiangdu because they avoided chaos. Originally, they all wanted to cross the river, but because Yuan Shu and Liu Xuan were fighting, the public security in Jiangnan was not good, and there were many people in Shanyue who harmed the county, so they dispelled the idea and temporarily lived in Jiangdu.

The two of them didn't know each other originally, but they had heard of each other's reputations, and after living in Jiangdu, they slowly got acquainted with each other by chance, and as a result, they became a pair of confidants who talked about everything.

Zhang Zhao has a upright personality, dares to admonish directly, and is somewhat stubborn, plus he has always been quick to talk, and he has offended a lot. Therefore, although he has no talent, he has never been able to get a platform to display his ambitions. Over time, Zhang Zhao became disheartened, withdrew from officialdom early, devoted himself to studying, read a wide range of books, and sometimes had to go out to run schools and accept apprentices because of the embarrassment of life.

Once, Tao Qian wanted to hire Zhang Zhao as a driver, but Zhang Zhao didn't like Tao Qian's personality, so he refused. Tao Qian thought that Zhang Zhao did not respect him, and ordered Zhang Zhao to be arrested and imprisoned in a dungeon. Fortunately, thanks to Zhang Zhao's friend Zhao Yu's hard persuasion, Tao Qian was willing to let Zhang Zhao leave.

Since then, Zhang Zhao has moved to Jiangdu, far away from Tao Qian.

And Zhang Hong is different from Zhang Zhao, perhaps because Zhang Hong is a few years older than Zhang Zhao, his personality is quiet, introverted, moody and invisible, and he is a noble person, he has always disliked to interact with the outside world, and concentrates on reading. Later, he was recommended as Maocai, and at that time, the general He Jin, the captain Zhu Jun, and Sikong Xun Shuang all hired him as his staff, but he politely declined.

So far, Zhang Hong has never been out of office once, relying on his own few acres of thin fields to survive, and living in extreme poverty.

A few days ago, Guangling Taishou Chen Deng went to Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong's homes to visit them with their prayers, and after expressing their intentions, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong refused to go out.

Chen Deng visited a total of three times before and after, but all three times were refused, Zhang Zhao was even more disrespectful, Chen Deng was angry, ordered soldiers to surround Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong's mansion, and coerced Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong to go to Pengcheng to serve Zhang Yan, otherwise, they would be beheaded.

Although Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong were not afraid, their families were threatened and had to set off immediately and travel together. After some travel, the two arrived in Pengcheng.

Pengcheng Taishou Chen Qun took the lead in receiving Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, thinking that the two were here to serve Zhang Yan, but who knew that they were here to complain, saying that Chen Deng abused his power and coerced them.

Chen Qun hurriedly went to find Zhang Yan, and happened to meet him at the gate of the city, and the two returned to the state pastor mansion together.

Zhang Yan and Chen Qun came back to the state pastor's mansion together, and when they came to the door, Zhang Yan saw two people about forty years old sitting in the hall, he asked Chen Qun who was Zhang Zhao and who was Zhang Hong, and then swaggered in.

"Haha......" Zhang Yan raised his legs, and as soon as he stepped into the threshold of the hall, he laughed loudly: "The two gentlemen have come from afar, and they have never been far away, I am deeply sorry, and I hope that the two gentlemen will forgive their sins!" ”

Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong saw that a person came in from outside, Chen Qun followed closely behind that person, and they all looked at it, and saw that the person was young, with a cold face, an extraordinary appearance, a burly figure, and bright eyes.

As the saying goes, it's better to see than to hear, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong looked at it one after another, and they all sighed secretly in their hearts, they definitely didn't expect that Zhang Yan was so young.

Although Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong had a trace of anger in their hearts, they still stood up in unison, and Zhang Zhao took the lead in shouting at Zhang Yan: "Grass people Zhang Zhao ......"

Zhang Hong followed closely and said: "Grass people Zhang Hong......"

"Meet your lord!" Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong said in unison.

Zhang Yan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The two gentlemen don't have to be so restrained, hurry up and be polite......"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Yan shouted to the housekeeper standing at the door: "Hurry up and make two pots of good tea, I want to treat the two gentlemen, and then tell the kitchen, prepare wine and food, I want to ......."

Zhang Zhao suddenly interrupted Zhang Yan's words and shouted loudly: "My lord! ”

Zhang Yan looked at Zhang Zhao and arched his hand: "Does Mr. Zibu have anything to order?" ”

Zhang Zhao saw Zhang Yan breathing in such a low voice, his tone was calm, and his attitude was gentle, not like a general who went into battle to kill the enemy. Although Zhang Yan treated them so politely, he didn't want to treat Zhang Yan politely, and said sharply: "We didn't come here to eat and drink, we just wanted to ask for justice from adults." ”

"Justice? Mr. Zibu, if there is something you can't solve, just tell me, I will do my best to help you! Zhang Yan said.

Zhang Zhao angrily told Chen Deng about surrounding his mansion and threatening himself with the lives of his entire family.

Zhang Yan nodded again and again after listening to this, and after Zhang Zhao finished speaking, Zhang Yan said: "What Chen Yuanlong has done is inevitably a bit too much, how can he treat a famous person like the two gentlemen like this?" However, then again, Chen Deng visited the door three or four times, and the two gentlemen did not appreciate it, and I was also angry if it was me. If you want justice, you should come to me. Because Chen Yuanlong didn't do anything wrong, he just acted as ordered. Because I gave him the order to do it! ”

After Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, and Chen Qun heard this, they were all surprised, Chen Qun hurriedly tugged at the corner of Zhang Yan's clothes, and whispered: "Lord, why did you say this in front of the two of them?" In this way, will they not be even more hostile to the lord? ”

Zhang Yan smiled, but did not answer Chen Qun's words, but said to Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong: "I have heard of your reputation for a long time, and I also know that there have been countless people who wanted to invite the two gentlemen to come forward, but they all ended up in vain. I have learned the lessons of my predecessors, salute first and then soldier. Since you don't want to come by yourself, I'm going to force you here. Because, I really need the help of these two gentlemen. ”

"Despicable! Shameless! I didn't expect you to use this kind of indiscriminate method! Zhang Zhao scolded.

Zhang Yan pretended not to hear it, and turned a deaf ear to Zhang Zhao's abuse, but smiled and said, "Mr. Zibu scolds well!" I'm mean, I'm shameless, I've never considered myself a gentleman, I've always felt like a villain. If you don't achieve your goal, you won't give up. Since Corporal Lixian is useless to the two gentlemen, then I can only use the means of villains, otherwise, how can we meet here now? ”

Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong didn't say a word, pricking up their ears to listen to what Zhang Yan was going to say. When they heard Zhang Yan admit that he was a villain, for some reason, the two of them actually had a trace of respect for Zhang Yan in their hearts.

"It's the first time I've seen someone say that to slander myself. What does he want to do? Chen Qun couldn't figure it out, and kept standing quietly next to him, without saying a word.

Zhang Yan continued: "If there is turmoil today, the people are war-torn and displaced, and the fertile land is even more barren. My Xuzhou is no exception. Cao Cao led the army to attack Xuzhou twice, this side just retreated not long ago, that side of Yuan Shu came to attack again, I as a Xuzhou pastor, shouldered the responsibility of protecting the territory and the people, although they repelled Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, but also since then they have a grudge, they will not let go of Xuzhou easily. You are all famous people in the state, all well-read, and you have learned a lot of skills in governing the country and the way of reassuring the people from the books, but you are not willing to dedicate what you have learned to benefit the people, but you have to hide it. Then let me ask you, since you don't plan to become a leader, what is the use of learning those statecraft? If you don't use it, you are not even as good as a flat-headed commoner. In the eyes of others, you are famous celebrities, but in my eyes, you are indeed no different from the people, at least the people can still devote themselves to the army at a critical moment and shoulder the responsibility of defending the country, and what can you two celebrities do? ”

In this paragraph, Zhang Yan said sonorously and powerfully, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong listened carefully, and the two of them did not have any chance to refute, and they both fell into deep contemplation because of Zhang Yan's words.

"What's the use of learning if you don't use it?" Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong were asking themselves, and they were also deeply moved by Zhang Yan's words.

After a while, Zhang Hong, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke: "Your Excellency's words are very incisive and very reasonable. We have read a lot of books and learned a lot of statecraft and the way to reassure the people, but if we learn but don't use it, then what do we learn to do? Today, listening to the words of the adults made me suddenly open, and I really benefited a lot. ”

After a pause, Zhang Hong continued: "For a while, I often hear people mention adults, and I also know that adults have paid a lot for Xuzhou. We can also understand the psychology of adults seeking talents, but everyone has their own ambitions, so adults shouldn't force us, right? As the saying goes, don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself, that's the truth, adults are people who understand, I think adults should know very well what I mean by this, right? ”

"If the two gentlemen really don't want to be out, I won't be aggressive, but in this life and this life, the two gentlemen may have to stay in Pengcheng forever. Since I can't get it, I will never let anyone else get it, both gentlemen have the talent to be my enemy, and whoever they fall into. I hope both gentlemen will understand......"

"Are you going to imprison us?" Zhang Zhaolang said.
