The wedding procession set out on the return journey, heading slowly towards Jinyang.
From Yingchuan County to Taiyuan County, they need to pass through Henan Yin, Henei County and Shangdang County, and cross the Yellow River.
It took the wedding procession more than ten days to finally enter Shangdang in Bingzhou.
When they arrived in Bingzhou, the surroundings were visibly more desolate, not as good as Sili and Yuzhou.
Le Jin, who was riding on a horse in front, raised his hand to signal the team to stop, and then came to Wang Yao.
"Sir, it's getting dark. There are few places to rest in Shangdang County. It's not safe after night. Why don't we set up camp and rest here, and then set off again after dawn."
"Well, that's fine. Send a message to all the tribes to set up camp and light a fire."
Anyway, we have already arrived in Bingzhou, and it's not far from Jinyang. Bingzhou is a mixed population of Hu and Han people, so we still have to pay more attention to safety.
"Yes." After receiving the order, Le Jin immediately led the team to set up camp and set up defenses.
As night fell, the camp was almost set up, tents were set up, and sentries were arranged around for vigilance.
The followers lit a bonfire, took out the dried meat, biscuits and other dry food they brought, set up earthenware pots, and cooked some wild vegetable soup and porridge.
In the camp, people sat together in groups of three or two, and the atmosphere was quite cheerful.
Wang Yao carried the lunch box and went to his father-in-law Xun Shuang.
"Teacher, this is for you."
Wang Yao opened the lunch box and placed the food inside.
"Teacher, the conditions for long journeys are difficult, you have been tired."
"Haha, no problem." Xun Shuang didn't care. He was not pampered: "When I was young, I also traveled around to study, and I have encountered more difficult situations."
Looking up at the moonlight, Xun Shuang was a little melancholy, and raised his hand to compare the height: "When I first saw you, you were only this tall. Now you are married, not bad, not bad, I am relieved to leave the daughter Xun (Xun Cai) to you."
Xun Shuang called the housekeeper and brought a wine pot: "My dear son-in-law, Yanchen, we are father-in-law and son-in-law, master and apprentice, let's drink a little?"
Wang Yao took the wine pot and poured it for Xun Shuang and himself: "Teacher invites, students naturally follow."
There is nothing wrong with a little drink. Wang Yao himself has a good alcohol tolerance, and this wine is not high. Besides, there are Le Jin, Zhou Tai and others around to guard, so there must be no problem.
Xun Shuang also asked Wang Yao about his future plans: "Yanchen, after getting married, what are your plans for the future? Will you be an official in the imperial court or stay in Bingzhou?"
Although locals cannot serve as the top officials in the local area, the operation of the administrative agencies of a county still depends on the support of local people.
The court sent governors or county magistrates, but these foreign officials needed to recruit local gentry or powerful people to serve as the governors, officials, and Gongcao of the county. Only when officials and gentry cooperated could the local governance be completed.
Wang Yao replied: "At present, the eunuchs and relatives in the court are fighting fiercely. Since my father has retired to protect himself, I will naturally not throw myself into the fire of Luoyang in the short term.Lu, I plan to seek an official position in the prefectural government of Jinyang in the future."
"Well, this is also good, steady development, you are still young, no rush. ”
Wang Yao’s steadiness still reassured Xun Shuang.
The status of the nobles was not a golden ticket to immunity from death. In the endless disputes, countless nobles fell on the road of “progress”. The imperial power would suppress the nobles, and the nobles of all sizes would also annex each other. A wrong stand might ruin the family forever.
Wang Yao certainly didn’t dare to tell Xun Shuang what he really thought in his heart. If he told him that he wanted to replace Liu’s world, the old man would probably think I was crazy.
In a few months, Zhang Jue would revolt and open the prelude to the turmoil of the late Han Dynasty.
Outside the camp, a big man wrapped in a gray cloth robe and with a slightly red face was slowly approaching.
“There is someone in front, I hope to exchange some dry food.”
After approaching, the guard on duty immediately stopped him:
“Who is it! ”
The big man bowed and said, "Brother, my surname is Guan, my given name is Yu, and my courtesy name is Yunchang. I am out and have used up all the dry food I brought with me. Fortunately, I still have some extra money. I wonder if I can buy some food to solve the urgent problem."
The two guards looked at each other, and one of them replied, "I have to ask for your opinion, you wait a moment."
After that, he went to the camp to ask, leaving the other guard to stare at Guan Yu.
The guards quickly found Wang Yao. At this time, Wang Yao had finished dinner with Xun Shuang. Xun Shuang was old and went to bed early. Wang Yao was lying on a big rock looking at the complex celestial phenomenon formed by the stars in the sky. Zhou Tai stood beside him to guard him.
The guard said, "Sir, a strong man came from outside the camp. He said his name was Guan Yu, and his courtesy name was Yunchang. He had no dry food and wanted to buy some from us. ”
Zhou Tai scolded: "You have to ask the young master about such a small matter. You can just give them some dry food and send them away. ”
"It's okay," Wang Yao said: "Let's go and take a look. Visitors after dark are always unusual. ”
Guan Yu killed someone in his hometown, and this point may be on his way to Zhuo County.
Guan Yu's comprehensive ability in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period can be regarded as T1 level. Although he has some problems in dealing with people, and he is not in his prime now, it is not bad to accept a potential stock.
If he doesn't obey, then no one will be willing to accept him. It's not a big deal to eliminate a potential stock.
Talents who can become generals and ministers are the most rare, but generals like Guan Yu can still be cultivated, and there is no shortage of them in this era.
The three of them went to the entrance of the camp together.
Guan Yu was holding a ring-headed sword in his arms. The cold wind blew his shabby gray robe, which still had some chivalrous style.
"I am Wang Yao from Taiyuan, with the name Yanchen. Are you Guan Yu? ”
Guan Yu bowed and said: "I am Guan Yu, with the courtesy name Yunchang, from Jie County, Hedong. I have met you, sir. Could it be that you are the one who founded the Yingjie Hall and was called "Little Mengchang" by the people of Sanjin?"The Wang Yanchen of Wang Yao?"
"That's right, but 'Little Mengchang' is just a term used by friends to flatter him."
During the Warring States Period, Mengchang Jun recruited many retainers, and even thieves could join his army;
Nowadays, Wang Yao's Yingjie Hall, whether it is a son of a noble family or a powerful and humble man, as long as he has the ability, can get comments and become famous, without setting a threshold in terms of identity and status. Although it was implemented in Bingzhou before, the counties adjacent to Bingzhou would naturally hear about it.
Guan Yu's hometown is in Hedong County, bordering Bingzhou, and he heard some rumors.
"It's windy outside, Yunchang, why don't you follow me into the camp, eat something to fill your stomach, and have a drink or two. ”
“This…”
Guan Yu hesitated for a moment, and Zhou Tai said unhappily: “You red-faced man, my master invited you, so just come. How can we eat you!”
Guan Yu thought, Wang Yao is also quite famous in the world, so there must be no problem.
“Then I’m sorry to bother you.”
