I received my adopted son in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 344 Is the old man's head big and round?

Two days later, Zhang Yan's envoy arrived.

Not many people came, just one messenger and more than ten guards.To Old Dong's surprise, their uniforms were Han army uniforms, but considering that Zhang Yan still had the title of Ping Nan Zhong Lang, it was not surprising that he could get some Han army uniforms.

"Chen Ping Nan Zhong Lang, the school lieutenant Zhang Damu, see Xiangguo!"

After the envoy entered the hall, he first reported his family name, and he also used his imperial identity.But obviously he didn't know any etiquette, so he knelt down on the ground, kowtowed three times and got up.

Seeing this, Old Dong couldn't help opening his mouth, and said, "Damu, you must be feeling very heavy when you come here, right?"

Zhang Damu didn't understand, he shook his head and said, "No."

"Then why do you salute the old man the same way you go to the grave?"

"I" Zhang Damu was a little embarrassed, and said: "I don't understand those, but Xiangguo is like a reborn parent in my heart, so how to worship parents during Qingming is how to pay respects to Xiangguo."

"This old man is like a reborn parent in your heart?" Upon hearing this, Old Dong was happy: "Tell me, tell me in detail what's going on."

Zhang Damu was a little astonished, but continued: "Xiangguo doesn't know, I'm from Hanoi, and I had a younger brother before following the commander in chief, but it's a pity that he got separated during the war."

"I thought he was dead after all these years, but I didn't expect to find him again last year."

"He said that he was drawn into the army by Wang Kuang, and he was hungry and bullied every day. Later, Xiangguo drove Wang Kuang and Yuan Shao away, and sent Lord Xunfu to carry out the New Deal."

"Although my younger brother is working very hard farming now, he eats enough and sleeps well every day. After working for another year and a half, he will still be able to share the land."

After finishing speaking, it seemed that he still wanted to give Lao Dong a knock.

But his subsequent reaction caught Old Dong's attention: Before kowtowing, he didn't know whether it was intentional or not, but he actually looked back at the guard behind him.

Then Old Dong noticed that Zhao Yun was also frowning, staring at the guard suspiciously.

The man's head was wrapped in a yellow scarf, and his body was lean but not thin.His appearance is a bit ordinary, but his eyes are very sharp and majestic, and he has the taste of a superior.

Old Dong's eyes rolled slightly, and he had a guess in his heart.

But he wasn't about to reveal either.

After all, in this situation, Old Dong is just like Hong Shixian. Seeing Ellie wearing Pinru's clothes, Ellie also said: "Since you want to pursue excitement, then follow through to the end."

Don't worry, since Zhang Yan wants to play, let's play with him first.

Thinking of this, Old Dong couldn't help showing a wicked smile, and then looked at Zhang Damu and said, "Nowadays, the flattery of those elites under my command is all about skill and no emotion at all."

"You are different, just the opposite. There is no skill at all in this flattery, it's all about emotion, this old man likes it very much!"

"Xiangguo, what I'm saying below is the truth, not flattering you." Zhang Damu emphasized again.

Old Dong naturally liked it more.

Then he waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't care if it's true or not, anyway, the old man is very happy now. Why Zhang Yan sent you here this time, tell me quickly, the old man will be very tolerant."

Hearing this, Zhang Damu subconsciously glanced at Zhang Yan who was disguised as a guard, and then asked: "Xiangguo sent troops this time, is it necessary to completely eradicate the Black Mountain bandits?"

"good."

"Also, including me waiting for one?"

"You are the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, why do you want to destroy them?" Old Dong smiled and asked deliberately.

Zhang Damu was stunned for a moment, obviously in his heart, he never really thought that he was an officer and soldier of the imperial court.Then he sneered, and echoed, "Xiangguo's words are reasonable, I was the one who said the wrong thing."

But soon, he spoke again: "But among the Black Mountain bandits, there are quite a few... well, soldiers and horses of the imperial court."

"What thieves?" Old Dong immediately retorted, "As long as it is the school lieutenant or Sima who is on the list of Ping Nan Zhonglang, it is the Black Mountain Army of the imperial court. Where are there any thieves?"

At this point in the conversation, Old Dong has already heard the smell: the situation of the Black Mountain Bandits this year is obviously not good, otherwise they would not have sent Zhang Damu, who is pro-Dong, as an envoy.

Combined with the fact that he said that he found his brother and lived a good life, it can be seen that the inside of the black bandit obviously knows the situation outside.

And after he pacified Bingzhou, he also ordered Taiyuan, Shangdang, and Hanoi to register households as Qimin. In just one month, the population increased by 4 out of thin air, indicating that many people in Taihang Mountain and Montenegro have chosen to leave the mountains and return to their homes.

Even if the common people know that they have obtained household registration and participated in Mintun, they will have to work for the court for three years in vain.But after weighing the pros and cons, they still prefer stability.

This is equivalent to digging out the roots of the bandits in Black Mountain with a hoe.Especially in the past half a month, they have used some small tricks to disintegrate and break some thieves.

Therefore, the Black Mountain bandits headed by Zhang Yan, even though they knew that they only had [-] soldiers this time, sent envoys as quickly as a frightened bird to find out their intentions.

"Xiangguo means that as long as Zhang Shuai goes to the court and declares those bandits who are close to our department as school captains, Xiangguo will not punish them?"

"Well, it is indeed such a thing." Old Dong laughed, and said: "But you have to think about it, the imperial court's school captain is not given for nothing."

"The few thieves you listed above are the court captains. If they are as loyal to the emperor and the country as Zhang Pingnan is, the court will naturally encourage and reward them."

"Any rewards?"

"Of course." Old Dong waved his hand and ordered, "Bring it up!"

At that moment, a group of soldiers entered the hall carrying several large boxes.Old Dong opened one of the boxes, pointed to the money and silk inside and said, "These are the salary that the imperial court reissued to Zhang Ping, which is hardly comparable to yours."

As he said that, he opened another mouth: "These armors are also the latest style, much stronger and lighter than the ones you wear. The blades are also made of steel, they cut iron like mud, and are extremely sharp."

Finally, he pointed to the outside and said: "There are still a large number of Lumi, which are reissued to the soldiers. As long as the Black Bandit is suppressed, there will be no shortage of these in the future."

"This, this..." Looking at the money and silk armor piled up in front of him, Zhang Damu couldn't help breathing quickly: "What Xiangguo said is true?"

"Of course it's true."

Old Dong You didn't think it was sensational, so he patted Damu on the shoulder again: "It's all my fault. I let my brothers hide in the mountains and forests all these years, so I can't eat well or sleep well."

"I still have to fight wits and bravery with those vicious bandits. I'm just here now. I'm really sorry for my brothers!"

"Xiangguo, don't say that, in fact we are." Zhang Damu was excited for a moment, and it was obvious that he was going to tell the truth next.

Fortunately, at this time Zhang Yan coughed twice on purpose, and he suddenly woke up, and said again: "I, I'll wait. I also hope that Xiangguo will come sooner day and night!"

Then, he glanced at Zhang Yan again.

Zhang Yan remained calm and shook his right hand slightly.

Zhang Damu understood, and made a embarrassed look, saying: "Xiangguo misses you, and I am very touched. But this matter is of great importance, and I have to go back and report to Zhang Shuai before I can give Xiangguo an answer."

"Well, there's no rush." ​​Old Dong waved his hand, and said with great enthusiasm: "It's difficult to send someone back to discuss with Zhang Ping. We must screen out those righteous men who sincerely submit to the imperial court, and we must not allow people to fish in troubled waters."

"After all, according to the regulations, there are only five places for Zhang Pingnan this time. If you don't know who you are, and you choose the wrong person, you will be implicated in the future."

"Also, there is still a quota limit?" Zhang Damu was stunned, a little stunned: "Also, will you be implicated?"

"Isn't that great?" Old Dong turned his head, then pointed to his head, and asked, "Look at the old man's head, is it very big and round?"

"Absolutely." Zhang Damu couldn't understand again: After all, Lao Dong is now thinner, his face is not as fleshy as before, and his head doesn't look that big.

"Since it's not big and not round, why do you think the old man is round (injustice) big head?"
