But when he thought of his parents' attitude, his expression inevitably became a little darker.

……

A few days ago, after Ma Jun returned home, he immediately described to his parents what he had seen and heard during the few days when he went to Luoyang to visit his friend Zhang Ju, and at the same time revealed it faintly to the other party. He came up with some thoughts that he planned to follow Zhang Yanyuan and work hard under Zhang Yan's hands.

It's just that the situation is similar to what he expected. When he heard that he planned to become an official, and he was in charge of the most unpopular tricks and tricks, his father was naturally furious, not only for Zhang Yan, but also for Zhang Yan. 1 people did not believe the various conditions promised, and even with Ma Jun, he was grounded for three days and suffered some physical pain.

Ma Jun also knows that for this somewhat poor family, he can be said to have placed great expectations on his parents. At the same time, his father has always hoped that he can study hard and become a person respected and admired by the people of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The scholarly children of...

But as I said before, for him, who is from a somewhat poor family, Zhang Yan can be said to be his only chance to realize his dream.

Not to mention that on the road of studying things to gain knowledge, if Ma Jun can really make a breakthrough, then his future achievements will definitely not be comparable to that of studying hard.

In other words, Zhang Yan's trust in him and all kinds of knowledge entrusted to him gave Ma Jun the consciousness to leave with Zhang Yan even if he was grounded.

In fact, Ma Jun also understood what his parents thought. It was nothing more than that his family was in ruins and his family status was lowered, so his father always hoped that he could study hard, and then strive to restore the Ma family's family status... But they are old!

They are old, so they don't know the changes in the world today, and they don't know that even if they are famous in reading, there may not be someone willing to travel thousands of miles to recruit a scholar who only has fame but no use.

Even if one day, Ma Jun really got an official position under the recommendation of the villagers through his talent in poetry and writing...but what's the point of that?

Today's official position can be purchased as long as you have enough money and food in your family.If you really just want to be an official, wouldn't it be much easier to earn more yellow and white things with Zhang Yan, and then buy a uncle or something to come back...

At this moment, Zhang Yan, who holds the two titles of general of the fourth rank and prefect of Lujiang, has come to him with his own olive branch. For Ma Jun, this is an extremely important opportunity. An excellent channel to prove his strength and ideas.

And it is precisely because of this that after learning of Zhang Yan's request that day, he has been studying it with great concentration, and finally in just seven days, before everyone set off, the "Scientific Experiments and Records" Method" was fully understood, and began to prepare for Zhang Yan's assessment.

According to Ma Jun's plan, as long as he is given another week or so, he will be able to fully apply the things recorded in that book in his spare time, and make some corresponding changes based on his own understanding.

By that time, my group had almost arrived in the Lujiang area, and it happened to be time to start the assessment-related matters after settling down.

Speaking of the assessment, Ma Jun reached out to touch the package behind him, feeling the heavy weight of the books and notes in the package, and a slightly excited smile appeared on his face involuntarily.

Afterwards, he, who already knew how precious this thing was, naturally fantasized unconsciously that Zhang Yan could bring him some different surprises in the future.

Chapter 6 may be a good thing too

Speaking of this assessment, feeling the heavy weight of the notes on his back, Ma Jun suddenly felt a strong confidence in the tasks that Zhang Yan would assign to him after arriving in Lujiang in the future.

Not to mention anything else, just the series of concepts and methods recorded in the book that Zhang Yan gave him gave Ma Jun a sense of enlightenment for some of the previous problems that troubled him.

Looking at Zhang Yan's appearance, the content recorded in this book is obviously not all of Zhang Yan, at most it can only be said to be the tip of the iceberg, which is equivalent to an appetizer for him.

Therefore, whether it is to realize his once whimsical ideas in the eyes of ordinary people to prove himself, or to restore his family status according to his parents' wish, for Ma Jun, Zhang Yan is the noble person he must firmly grasp .

Walking briskly into the distance, in the past few days, Ma Jun had already made an appointment with Zhang Ju to meet him at a fork in the east of Luoyang, and the two went to Luoyang City to look for Zhang Yan. Officially joined Zhang Yan's team.

In order to fulfill the appointment, Ma Jun got up early today before dawn, and sneaked out from near the back door of the house when his parents were fast asleep.

Of course, in order not to worry his parents too much, he also prepared a letter in advance and placed it near the desk next to his bed to ensure that his parents would be able to see the existence of the letter when they entered the room .

The content of the letter is naturally Ma Junna's sincere apology to his parents, and his determination to follow Zhang Yan to realize his dream no matter what.

Ma Jun also knew that even though he left a letter, he also roughly explained in the letter the place he was going to and expected to return to his hometown after achieving something, but according to the character of his parents, it was inevitable Still worry about things like your own safety.

It's just that this kind of worry not only did not become an obstacle for him to affect Ma Jun's state of mind at the moment, but it was like a flame buried in his heart, providing him with a steady stream of motivation and fighting spirit.

Even if my parents don't support me at the moment, it doesn't matter too much, after all, Zhang Yan still supports my ideas and work.

After he really achieved something, his parents would probably feel understanding and reassured about his decision.

Silently encouraging himself in his heart, Ma Jun was determined to master all those knowledge as soon as possible, and then started his first mission under Zhang Yan's command.

And just as he quickened his pace and walked towards the distant city of Luoyang with his back to the sun, what Ma Jun didn't notice was that behind him, in that dilapidated farmyard, a pair of about 40 The young couple, who were a little thin, were standing silently in front of the window on the second floor, looking at the direction they were going away with complicated expressions.

……

"Husband, Jun'er went to another place like this, so there won't be any accidents on the way, right?"

"After all, the current year is not peaceful. Even in the vicinity of the imperial city, there are many bandits and bandits today."

"We really just watched him leave like this, no more instructions?"

There was a trace of worry on the better face, only to see that the wife of the husband and wife folded her hands in front of her at the moment, looking a little uneasy about Ma Jun.

After thinking about the man beside him and asking, Ma Jun's mother, who is only in her early forties at the moment, and Mrs. Ma, whose temples are already a little gray, seems to be unable to restrain her behavior, and is a little anxious. He paced back and forth in the room.

Beside her, the middle-aged man in his forties had a worried look on his face, but after hearing his wife's question, he couldn't help but heaved a long sigh.

Then, under the suspicious gaze of the other party, Ma Jun's father, the head of the Fufeng Ma family's generation, stroked his beard, then turned and walked downstairs.

……

"Hey, forget it, don't do it, don't do it."

"The child has grown up, and after the crowning ceremony, he is an adult. Parents like us can't rely on our own identities to control his thoughts for the rest of our lives."

"Adults are always responsible for their own actions, and it doesn't make much sense for us to ask too much."

"Instead of being unhappy with Jun'er because of those things, it's better to choose to trust him and believe that he can do all these things well."

Sighing, he walked out of the room. At this moment, Ma Jun's father seemed to have aged ten years suddenly, and his originally tall and straight figure had become a little stooped.

Just saying something to his wife, he did not watch his son go away, but silently prayed in his heart for the other party to have a safe journey, and then came to the first floor of this small courtyard, which was also his own. The door of the child Ma Jun's room.

Gently pushed open the door, as Ma Jun's father had expected, in the room at this moment, a series of daily necessities had been packed by Ma Jun into his own package and taken away, only one bed was left. The bedding was neatly stacked at the head of the bed.

And next to the quilt, on the table that his son has always used to study those strange skills and tricks, a thin roll of bamboo slips was spread on it, and there was a faint fragrance.

Walking forward quickly, Ma Jun's father picked up the roll of bamboo slips, and then saw a few rows of knife work on it, which was a little hasty, but still neat, making it look like the owner of the other party knew it well at a glance. It must be from a scholarly family with delicate characters.

And then, after roughly reading the content on the bamboo slip, the middle-aged man opened his mouth slightly, but didn't say much, but carefully rolled up the bamboo slip and put it in his sleeve.

……

"Father, seeing a letter is like meeting you."

"The unfilial son Jun left home today just to follow Zhang Yan, Marquis of the Kingdom of Wan."

"Father and mother, don't worry, take care of yourself."

"When the unfilial son Jin Yi returns, I will visit my parents again."

……

Recalling roughly the contents of the letter, the middle-aged man gently stroked the gesture cut out with a knife, his expression became a little complicated and regretful.

And then, with a long sigh, he brushed his sleeves, and walked out the door with big strides.

Parents, although they may not necessarily understand their children's thoughts better than anyone else, they must be the first to perceive the changes in their children.

From the eyes of the other party that day, the middle-aged man knew that his child had grown up and would no longer blindly follow him like he did when he was a child.

Although he doesn't quite agree with the path chosen by Ma Jun, he also knows that this is the other party's choice, and he shouldn't interfere too much.

And if the other party can achieve some growth in this decision, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to Ma Jun's future.

Chapter 7 Ready to go

In the fifth year of Zhongping, on the fifteenth day of the sixth lunar month, the weather was fine.

……

The Luoyang people who got up early could find that the military camp stationed in the north of the city a few days ago seemed to be a little different from usual today.

At this moment, the genius was slightly shining, and there were strong and healthy soldiers who got out of their tents early. After queuing up for breakfast, they did not go to the temporary school field for training. Under the leadership of the officer, a formation of ten people in a row and a hundred people in a square formation was formed quite solemnly along the city wall in the north of Luoyang City.

Each of these 200-man phalanxes was about three feet long and spaced apart from each other. More than [-] phalanxes spread out, and immediately formed a vast sea of ​​people several miles away in the eyes of the people in Luoyang City.

I don't know if it was because the ancient soldiers had too much suffocation after forming a formation. In the eyes of ordinary residents, the soldiers who seemed a little harmless to humans and animals a few days ago now put on their armor and picked up their long guns. After the knife, the temperament of the whole person is a little different from before.

In particular, some of the soldiers were extraordinarily tall, and at the same time, in the phalanx with thick muscles, there was a strange sense of majesty and solemnity faintly exuding.

Inside the already somewhat empty barracks, there are still a large number of supply soldiers under the guidance of the quartermaster, sorting out the recyclable tents, pots and stoves, and preparing to pack them all into the car and take them away. .

And at the forefront of that camp, several generals riding horses and wearing shining armor looked at the well-organized army in front of them with a smile on their faces, their eyes filled with satisfaction and joy.

……

"Look, look at this appearance, this aura, even those imperial guards guarding the Luoyang Imperial City are no more than that?"

"If one-tenth of the brothers under General Tiangong's command had such a level back then, it's really not good to say who won the battle at Jilu!"

Some comments were made on the army formation in front of him. In the front of the formation, a strong man with a height of eight feet and a yellow scarf was riding a handsome white horse. It was Zhang Yan's subordinate. Pei Yuanshao, the former commander of the Yellow Turban.

I saw him staring at the group of soldiers in front of him at this moment, his eyes were not only filled with a touch of satisfaction, but even had a sense of nostalgia and nostalgia for the past life.

Beside him, Zhou Cang, as a general who had just joined Zhang Yan, naturally held his long knife, standing there like an iron tower.

And when he heard his old friend start talking about those rebellious remarks, Zhou Cang suddenly felt a little speechless, and at the same time got on his horse, and then came to Pei Yuanshao's side and whispered:

"Old Pei, be careful with your words and deeds!"

"Now that you have already served the lord, don't worry about what's there and what's not."

"It's okay to chat in private on weekdays, my lord is not too rigid and old-fashioned..."

"It's just that you are in front of these ordinary soldiers now, Lao Pei, don't make trouble for the lord!"

Softly reprimanding the other party, Zhou Cang also felt a little helpless about himself, an old friend he had known for many years.

But at this moment, he was riding the gray horse with his hands folded like this, and his whole body exuded a strong and capable aura.

Following Zhang Yan's army and stationed here for more than half a month, not only those former yellow scarf fighters under Zhou Cang's command have got a certain amount of rest, but are gradually adapting to this life as soldiers under Zhang Yan's command. With a new identity, even Zhou Cang himself, who is the leader of the crowd, has healed his injuries, and he doesn't want to be as weak and tired as before.

Today, he also received the news that his lord sent someone from the city in advance, so as a general under Zhang Yan, he took part of his own trilogy to line up, ready to meet Zhang Yan at all times. The arrival of Yan and others.

In front of him, after hearing Zhou Cang's scolding in a deliberately suppressed voice, Pei Yuanshao also knew that he had made a slip of the tongue just now, so he immediately laughed and touched his head, only saying that he would pay more attention in the future, and at the same time felt a little embarrassed look.

Afterwards, after thinking about Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao turned around and looked at the people in front of him, and at the same time restrained the expression on his face.

……

"Oh, it's really like a dream..."

He sighed deep in his heart, Pei Yuanshao was not an idiot at all, so he naturally understood what Zhou Cang meant just now.

However, as one of the commanders in the most glorious period of the Yellow Turban Uprising, he was used to suffering, seeing that the soldiers under his command were banned by drills one by one, and each of them looked well-equipped, but it was difficult to suppress. His heart gradually rose surging feeling.

If it is a rebellious thought, Pei Yuanshao, who is already well fed and clothed, naturally does not have it. At the same time, he also trains with the soldiers under his command to instill his loyalty and recognition for Zhang Yan as much as possible. To the hearts of the old Yellow Turbans in those military formations.

It's just that after experiencing a large-scale battle with tens of thousands of people, or even nearly a million people in the Battle of Jilu, Pei Yuanshao was shocked by the chilling aura coming from the army in front of him, so he was naturally stronger than Yang. A junior like Feng needs to have a little more insight in his heart.

It's not that as the old commander of the Yellow Turban, Pei Yuanshao is really bloodthirsty, or obsessed with marching and formation. On the contrary, this strong man who has struggled to survive from the extremely difficult situation at the beginning is more harmful to war than the new generation. Yellow Turbans need to have a deeper understanding.
