The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 473 Yujin
The wide official road is full of traffic and pedestrians.

This is the outskirts of Jinyang City, and it is the most prosperous place in Bingzhou.

"This is Handi..."

Nan Lou looked up at the tall city wall of Jinyang City not far away. Although he had seen it several times, every time he arrived in Jinyang, there was a feeling of changing with each passing day, and he couldn't help but want to sigh.

Although it is winter now, the number of pedestrians and convoys on the official road is a few points higher than when it was last time upstairs.

While Nanlou was sizing up the pedestrians and motorcades on the official road, the motorcade and pedestrians on the official road were also sizing up Nanlou.

Without him, it would be really hard not to attract attention.

The southern Xiongnu surrendered, and they lost their crowns and were exempted from clothing. Today, they still wear their hair on the right lapel, learning Chinese, learning Chinese, and using Chinese characters.

As for Nanlou's group, all of them have disheveled hair, fur clothes, left lapels, fur caps, bows and arrows at the waist and hips, which are quite different from ordinary people.

The older generation of Bingzhou people naturally knew their attire and knew that they were Wuhuan people. The scope of Wuhuan people's activities was not limited to Youzhou, but also haunted Bingzhou.

In the sixth year of Xiping, the Han court sent Wuhuan school captain Xia Yu from Gaoliu County, Xianbei Zhonglang general Tian Yan from Yunzhong County, Xiongnu Zhonglang general Zang Min and Nan Xiongnu Shanyu from Yanmen County, and sent troops to attack Xianbei at the same time.

That is the common memory of all Bingzhou people. When the troops were dispatched, the three armies swore an oath, and every family went out of the city to send them off respectfully, waiting for the news of their victory.

But the news of the disastrous defeat came. In that year, almost every family in Bingzhou wore mourning, and every household wore hemp.

The former chief general, Wuhuan Xiaowei Xia Yu, was stationed in Gaoliu County in Dai County of Youzhou, not far from Yanmen County and Taiyuan County.

The news of Shanggu Wuhuan's surrender has already spread to almost the entire Bingzhou, as well as the territory under the jurisdiction of the Yellow Turban Army.

Nanlou has also been to Jinyang City three or four times, but the movement before it was not as grand and eye-catching as this time.

As for why this time is so big and attracts attention, one only needs to see the scale of Nanlou's team this time.

Not to mention the thousands of elite Wuhuan soldiers serving as guards, just the truckloads of leather, truckloads of treasures, and squadrons of servants are enough to make people dumbfounded.

Looking at the carriages one after another, and the fierce Wuhuan cavalry guards, the people on both sides of the official road did not feel panic, on the contrary, people kept following the Wuhuan troops on both sides.

Because of the news released by Yan Zhong before, the residents of Bingzhou already knew that Shanggu Wuhuan was attached, and the leader of Wuhuan, Nanlou, asked for a marriage and got permission to show the friendship between the two families.

The first is that they know that this Wuhuan army is absolutely not a threat, and they dare not disobey the laws established by Taipingdao.

Secondly, in addition to the Wuhuan people, the guard team also had a Yellow Turban Cavalry with yellow scarves on their heads.

Moreover, on the official road, patrolling cavalry from the Yellow Turban Army patrolled past from time to time, which made them feel more at ease, so they followed and watched this rather rare scene.

Nanlou looked at the people who gathered, without any anger.

At this time, Nanlou was in a good mood. The victory of the Yellow Turban Army in the Battle of Jizhou made him more authoritative among the tribe.

With the implementation of the Yellow Turban Army in Mintun, Youzhou, his tribe was allowed to go south, and they were resettled into the south of the Great Wall for the winter. Xu An's decision to form an alliance is even more supportive.

The winter on the grassland is getting longer every year, and the north wind is getting colder every day, almost to an unbearable level.

If it gets a little colder, the white disaster strikes, and a large number of cattle and sheep freeze to death, their survival will become a problem.

But now they can spend the winter south of the Great Wall, and they can also trade with the Han people and the Yellow Turban Army in specific cities. Many things that they could not eat before have also been added to their diet.

The days are getting better day by day, not only the ordinary herdsmen, but also the dignitaries and senior officials of the Wuhuan tribe, after entering the city of Youzhou, they are as happy as Nanlou.

Not only Nanlou, but also a group of Wuhuan knights who saw the tall city walls of Jinyang City shouted together, yelled at each other, and communicated with each other in Wuhuan language.

Jinyang City is the largest city in Bingzhou, and it is naturally several times more prosperous than the cities in Youzhou. Although they are definitely not allowed to enter the city, they can ask people to buy a lot of things in the city and bring them back to the tribe.

Nanlou and the captain of the Yellow Turban Army were chatting with each other with a smile on their face, when they saw the commotion on the official road, and then a messy sound of horseshoes came from a distance.

Nanlou turned her head and looked at the official road ahead, only to see a field of khaki-colored banners coming slowly towards this side.

"Xiaoqi Battalion?"

Zhu Jiu, the captain of the Yellow Turban Army who was next to Nanlou, recognized the banner as soon as he saw the flag, and then he saw a very familiar banner.

"And Yan Gong's general flag!"

Zhu Jiu is Liu Shi's subordinate. In the past, Yan Zhong led the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army to the north. When Zhang Baiqi was defeated in Taihang Mountain, he was in Liu Shi's army. Later, when Yan Zhong wiped out Taihang, he also followed Yan all the time. Zhong's subordinates, he will naturally not forget Yan Zhong's flag

"Yan Gong? Yan Zhong?!"

When Nanlou heard this, he couldn't help but smile.

It was normal that Xu An didn't come to greet him, although Shanggu Wuhuan was an alliance in name, but in fact he was an allegiance.

Therefore, he proposed a marriage and married his daughter to Xu An. He didn't even ask for the title of wife, but only asked to enter the inner court.

But who is Yan Zhong, Yan Zhong is now only under Xu An in the Taiping Dao, Liu Pi, Gong Du, He Man and other veteran leaders of the Yellow Turban Army are not as famous as Yan Zhong.

At this time, Yan Zhong led the Xiaoqi Battalion to greet him personally, which was enough to give Nanlou face.

"Ugh——"

The low-pitched horn sounded, and the soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion were divided into two, and the generals of the Yellow Turban Army came slowly, surrounded by stars like a moon.

Nan Lou and Zhu Jiu got off their horses and walked forward slowly
"Xiao Wang sees Lord Yan."

"Subordinate Zhu Jiu, see Lord Yan!"

Yan Zhong lifted Nanlou's arm.

"There is something wrong with Jizhou. People from the four prefectures have entered our Bingzhou. Right now, Minggong is busy with business and it is difficult to get out. So let me come to greet you. Don't blame, don't blame."

Being greeted by Yan Zhong, Nanlou has no reason to blame him, then Yan Zhong comforted Nanlou a few words, and asked about some affairs of Wuhuan tribe in Shanggu, Nanlou answered them one by one.

Yan Zhong was in Liangzhou, and he was a famous person, so he naturally knew how to deal with a tribal leader like Lou, and the host and guest enjoyed themselves for a while.

"Zhu Jiu?"

Yan Zhong glanced at Zhu Jiu up and down, and said with a smile.

"Compared to the old days in the Taihang Mountains, you are a bit fatter, and your martial arts should not be neglected. Liu Shi has a reckless personality. If his subordinates do not have your assistance, I am afraid that it will make Minggong a lot more worried."

Zhu Jiu never expected that Yan Zhong would still remember him as a small person, and he couldn't help being a little excited for a moment, and promised with a strong promise.

"Your subordinates will definitely not waste their martial arts, please rest assured, Mr. Yan."

Yan Zhong glanced behind Nanlou, and found that among the guards behind Nanlou, there was one with his head down, hiding in the center of the guards. The figure of that person was obviously shorter.

"If you read correctly, this is your daughter, right?"

Yan Zhong winked at Nanlou, smiled and said in a low voice.

Nan Lou showed embarrassment on his face, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Yan Gonghui has eyes, the little girl is stubborn, the Northland is no better than the Central Plains, and the little girl is also a little bit wild."

"But Lord Yan, don't worry, the little girl will never act recklessly."

Nanlou was a little worried. He was really presumptuous towards his daughter Yujin. His eldest son died young, and he gave birth to several children. They also died early due to other reasons. Yujin was the only one. Healthy growing up is naturally very special to his baby.

Because Nanlou advocates Han culture, the name is also a homonym.

The meaning of Yujin's name is like a beautiful jade, which should be held carefully for fear of damage.

Girls on the prairie don't have to respect some rules like girls in Han land, and because of Nanlou's reason, his daughter is indeed a little reckless, which makes Nanlou a headache.

In order to facilitate this marriage, Nan Lou finally made up his mind to discipline his daughter well, and even warned her to prevent Yu Jin from accidentally offending Xu An in some places.

It’s just that the journey is a bit far away, Yu Jin really didn’t want to sit in the bumpy car, Nan Lou couldn’t stand it, so she asked him to change into a guard and followed behind him, but Yan Zhong recognized him at a glance come out.

Nan Lou's expression was serious, and he said to Yu Jin behind him, "Come forward and pay homage to Lord Yan."

"Meet Yan Gong."

Yu Jin, who was dressed as a guard, came up and shouted crisply.

"What a handsome and pretty girl, hahaha."

Yan Zhong stroked his beard with a smile, and praised him sincerely.

He had seen Yu Jin before, so he recognized him now.

It has to be said that no matter how you look at it, Yu Jin can be regarded as a beauty. Even now she is dressed as a guard, but she is full of heroism and can be called handsome and pretty.

"The official road is crowded. There are more people and caravans at the moment. It is not appropriate for us to block the official road. Gossiping is hands-free. Let's go into the city first."

Yan Zhong glanced to the left and right, and said to Nanlou.

Nanlou has all the rituals to follow, just when Nanlou wanted to get back on his horse, he was stopped by Yan Zhong halfway.

Then Nan Lou followed Yan Zhong and boarded a rather strange carriage. Unlike other carriages, this carriage has only two wheels, but four wheels, and the carriage is wide, not as narrow as the carriage of a two-wheeled carriage. .

As soon as Yu Jin got into the car, he touched left and right, his face was full of curiosity, and he didn't recognize his identity, he kept asking Yan Zhong.

Nanlou got into the four-wheeled carriage. Although he was full of questions, he didn't dare to be rude. He asked Yan Zhong, and even if Yu Jin spoke, he wanted to stop him.

But seeing that Yan Zhong didn't take it seriously, didn't care about Yu Jin's rude behavior, and instead answered some of Yu Jin's questions, Nanlou kept his mouth shut and didn't try to persuade him.

The reason why Yan Zhong ignores Yu Jin's faux pas is that although he usually abides by etiquette, he will persuade Xu An when Xu An is impolite.

But Yan Zhong has already passed the year of his destiny, and he even has grandchildren under his knees, but he is closer to each other. For grandchildren, Yan Zhong has always been fond of them. Yujin is about the same size as his granddaughter, and the other With a straightforward personality and wanting to enter Xu An's inner court, Yan Zhong naturally would not use etiquette to restrain her.

Secondly, Yan Zhong really liked this four-wheeled carriage, and Xu An personally designed this carriage for him.

The cowhide shock absorption and the double rabbit shock absorption method are used in parallel. The wheels are also wrapped with soft cattail, and soft things such as goose feathers are placed in the compartment to sew them into soft cushions, so that people can feel comfortable to the greatest extent. The ride is comfortable.

Since someone asked, Yan Zhong naturally had the mood to show off.

The sound of the wheels rolling and the kicking of the horse's hooves touching the ground came slowly. Sitting in the carriage of the four-wheeled carriage, the vibration was not large, and it was much more comfortable than sitting in the two-wheeled carriage.

Nanlou sat in the car with tense muscles, compared to the rather casual Yujin, he was much more nervous.

The curiosity at the beginning disappeared, and Yujin stopped asking questions, and sat next to Nanlou again, and Nanlou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Rude, he was still a little worried.

Yu Jin leaned against the car window on one side, lifted the curtain slightly, looked at the pedestrians on both sides who voluntarily gave way, and asked casually.

"Yan Gong, I heard that you and Xu An often meet, then you should know what kind of person he is, can you tell me..."

Nanlou broke out in a cold sweat all of a sudden, and hurriedly stopped talking.

"Don't be rude, why do you call the name of the great virtuous teacher directly!"

Yu Jin was a little puzzled, turned around and asked, "What's that called?"

Nanlou couldn't help but smile, he taught so much on the road, it seems that most of his daughters have been forgotten...

Yan Zhong waved his hand at Nanlou to indicate that it doesn't matter, he laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

"But your question stopped me, what kind of person is Xu An..."

Yu Jin leaned slightly, approached some Yan Zhong, and asked curiously: "Doesn't Lord Yan know?"

Yan Zhong smiled, turned his head to look at the car window, looked at the bustling streets outside the window, and was slightly absent-minded.

"September of the second year of Zhongping was the first time I met Xu An. At that time, Xu An was like a sharp knife out of its sheath, and it was hard to deal with it."

"Up to now, it has been more than three years, but I still don't know what kind of person he is."

Yan Zhong looked at Yu Jin, he didn't shy away from the difficult building, his face was solemn, and he said solemnly to Yu Jin.

"He will be confused, but he will recover quickly. He will be panicked, but he will hide the fear in his heart."

Yan Zhong remembered that when he first entered Bingzhou, in the middle of the night in the Jinyang city government office, he saw Xu An standing in the courtyard in the side hall.

That was the first time he saw Xu An showing a confused and terrified expression, and it was also the last time.

Yan Zhong raised the silk fan in his hand and gently unfolded it.

A long poem was written on the silk fan.

Plant a millet in spring and harvest ten thousand in autumn.

There is no land in the world, and the farmer still starves to death.

When the hoe was on the day of the day, Khan dripped down the soil.

Who knows dishes on the menu, A Journey.

This was the poem he saw on Xu An's desk the next day. He wrote down the poem and copied it on his silk fan.

It was precisely because of Xu An's influence that he slowly changed and let go of his aloofness.

Before, he was sympathetic to the people, but he stood in a high position, but because of a little compassion in his heart.

"Some people say that he is a sage who was born to know him, some say that he is Huang Tian's incarnation in this world, some people say that he is a true immortal from the land, some people say that he is the reincarnation of a god from heaven and earth, and others People say that he belongs to the destiny, and he is the destiny..."

"No matter what kind of rhetoric, no matter what kind of rumors, according to him, it may not be a lie."

"He always makes people full of confidence, always makes people difficult to doubt, and always makes people believe that as long as you follow behind him, you will definitely win, you will definitely win."

Yan Zhong had never seen anyone who worked as hard as Xu An.

Xu An's desk is always full of official documents and military information, but Xu An never forgets to read and write, never forgets to practice martial arts, and never neglects political affairs.

In the past three years, I have been sleepy all night, and I have never slack off.

"Actually, none of this matters."

Yan Zhong looked at Yu Jin who looked puzzled, and laughed.

"Just remember one thing."

Yu Jin asked, "What's the matter?"

"He will always be Xu An and will never change. You can always trust him, and he will never let you down."

"why?"

Yan Zhong closed the silk fan and turned his head to look out of the window, looking at Jinyang City, which is far more prosperous than before.

He really wanted to see the world of Huang Tian that Xu An was talking about.

"Because... he is Xu An..."
