For the first time, Fazheng went to Wanguohou's mansion in the late afternoon, but was told by the concierge that the other party was resting, so he didn't wait much.
He just took note of the time secretly, and said goodbye to the concierge, intending to come back at another time.
The second time, ten days after the first encounter, Fazheng brought some gifts and brought Meng Da to the door again.
Only this time, although he chose to visit in the morning, the concierge told him that the prefect had gone to inspect the construction site outside the city early in the morning and would not be back all day.
In desperation, Fazheng, who was frustrated on his second visit, could only transfer the gift to the concierge, and then took Mengda back to his temporary residence in Wancheng.
Ten days later, until today, Fazheng brought Meng Da to the door for the third time. This time, he even greeted the porter in advance and confirmed that Zhang Yan was at home in advance.
But they didn't expect that another scholar was brought into the mansion before them, and Ma Jun had no choice but to wait outside together with Meng Da.
Fazheng has spent a whole month visiting three times, but he hasn't even seen Zhang Yan.
Under such a result, even though Fazheng's mentality is stronger than that of his peers, he can't help but feel a little disappointed.
……
"Oh, it's so difficult..."
"Could it be that I should really do what Zijing said at the beginning, step by step, and start as a small official in the Department of Civil Affairs?"
……
At this moment, in Fazheng's heart, there seemed to be another self constantly moaning and sighing, which made him upset, but at the same time, there was no good way to do it.
After waiting, another hour passed.
Just as Fazheng was immersed in his own doubts like this, time flew by quickly, and the sky in Lujiang gradually dimmed.
……
"Hey, let me say two guests, why don't you go back first and come back another day?"
"It's getting late now, and it's almost time for the master to eat dinner. I'm afraid he won't see any guests today."
Beside the two, the porter in Zhang Yan's mansion sat there in embarrassment, as if he couldn't bear it anymore, so he whispered to the two of them.
In the Qin and Han Dynasties, unless they were very close friends or blood relatives, it was very impolite to visit at night after dark. Not only Fazheng and others knew this, but even the concierge knew it very well. .
It was precisely because of this that he reminded Fazheng with a hint of kindness.
"This this……"
"Oh, that's fine."
Standing up with a sigh, Fazheng's expression at this moment was completely covered by disappointment.
He patted the dust off his body, then turned around and glanced at the gate in the distance, as if he had lost all fighting spirit, looking listless.
It has to be said that Fazheng has begun to face up to the fact that he has failed three times in a row, whether it is an irrational decision to go to Lujiang to suffer the punishment without going to Yizhou.
But he didn't want to, even when he himself thought that he was going to return without success today, the figures of two strong young men suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
Chapter 28 I heard you are short of people here?
"Hey, isn't this General Li and General Hu!"
"Why are you two here so free today?"
From a distance, Fazheng saw two very strong young men walking towards them side by side.
Although the two of them looked ordinary and had nothing special about them, their military aura made Fazheng a clever one, and the previous sense of decadence and depression dissipated a lot.
Beside him, the concierge seemed to know these two people, so when he came to them, he took the initiative to say hello, and the expression on his face changed from the previous helplessness to a hint of flattery.
"Huh? Oh, it's you...you're not that...who is that..."
"Oh, by the way, you should be the servant in the lord's mansion, right? I remember seeing you once when I visited the lord with Brother Yao last time."
"It's not a big deal, it's just that some time ago, my lord asked me and brother Yao to be in charge of the third army. We didn't have experience in systematic military training before, let alone lead such a large-scale army, so we wanted to go to the library. Look for some military books and the like.”
"It doesn't matter if you don't look at it or not. After looking at it, we realized that marching formation is not as simple as just burying our heads and charging like we did in the Yellow Turban Army before. There are still many connections in it that we have never heard of."
"Seeing that the other two armies have almost finished their training, and we haven't made much progress here. After discussing with Brother Yao, I thought about asking the lord to see when the vacant title of the marching governor will be. Only then can we make up for it.”
"This professional thing has to be done by professional people. Our brothers have limited levels. As long as we can understand the battle report and move the enemy army, it will be fine. Like those jobs that use brains, use your brains." It’s best for people to do it.”
He scratched his head in embarrassment, and after seeing the concierge take the initiative to greet him, the taller man among the two spoke first and took the conversation.
These two people are none other than the two generals Li Le and Hu Cai who defected to Zhang Yan last autumn and winter.
Speaking of them, in the hands of other princes of this era, they can be regarded as extremely brave generals.At least the level of second-rate base, even in today's Han court, I am afraid that he can get a good position.
It's just a pity that this is not Luoyang, and Zhang Yan is not the current emperor.
In Lujiang, as far as the level of the two of them is concerned, they really can't be ranked very well.
Not to mention that Yang Feng and Han Xian had been able to stabilize their heads as early as the Yellow Turban period, even Xu Huang, a former third-rate general, had made a breakthrough after more than a year of training, and now he is not weaker than the two of them. indivual.
Search all the generals in Lujiang, probably the current Liao Hua, whose force is weaker than them.
Who is Liao Hua? He is a boy in his teens!In Pei Yuanshao's words, if this kind of kid who hasn't even grown hair can reach the current level, then when he becomes an adult, his strength will almost have a very remarkable breakthrough. Even if he surpasses Yang Feng, it is not too much of an exaggeration. .
In other words, the size of a family is also a potential stock, which cannot be compared with the two brothers Li Le and Hu Cai.
It is precisely because of this embarrassing situation that after they entered Lujiang's circle, they have been in the second-line position, and they rarely come into Zhang Yan's sight. Because of the shortage of soldiers and horses, there is no special marching governor assigned to him.
It's just that these things can only be experienced by the real Lu*** circle.As a servant, the porter doesn't care so much.
General Yang is a commander, and so is General Li.
Rounding things up, although this General Li came late, he is already a big man on an equal footing with veterans like Yang Feng and Pei Yuanshao.This alone is worthy of his flattery and pleasing to the other party.
"Hey, look at this memory!"
"I forgot, I can no longer call you General Li, I have to teach you Commander Li."
As for the differences in function and status among the three soldiers and horses... What's the matter with shutting him down as a porter?
Lick and it's done.
……
"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense with me that is useless. The third brother and I came to find the lord today because we have a serious business, and we are not here to chat with you."
"My lord, is he free now? Why don't you run for us and let us know?"
Unlike Li Le who spoke first, Hu Cai's personality is much more irritable, and he doesn't like those social interactions where you come and go. He is a typical straight man.
Seeing that he didn't chatter with the other party, he just interrupted the concierge, and then asked the man directly.
"This, this... My lord, I'm afraid it's really inconvenient for him to see you now."
He glanced awkwardly at Fazheng at the side. Facing Hu Cai's questioning, the concierge couldn't help but become a little embarrassed.
"At noon today, an old man came to visit the Lord in the mansion. It has been several hours now, and he hasn't come out yet."
"Look at the little brother next to me. He also came to visit the Lord. He has been waiting at this gate for a whole afternoon, but he has not been able to see the Lord..."
"Oh, I don't know why the old man has something so important that it takes so long to talk about it..."
That was the fact. Facing the two visiting commanders and deputy commanders, the concierge didn't say anything more, but spread his hands in regret, and told the two present what happened this afternoon. people.
It wasn't until this time that Li Le and Hu discovered that not far behind the gatehouse, there were two teenagers sitting at the door, looking at them with burning eyes.
"Nice to meet you, Commander Li...and Hu fu...Commander Hu."
"My name is Fazheng, and my style name is Xiaozhi. This is my fellow villager Meng Da. We all come from the Fufeng area of Gyeonggi Province. We heard about the reputation of the prefect Zhang, so we came to Lujiang all the way to seek a position under the prefect's hand." .”
"I just heard from you that the army you are in... well, it's called Bingmasi, right?"
"Your Bingma Division is short of a marching governor?"
"Although I don't know what the role of the marching governor is, but if you mean the staff officer who marches and arranges the formation and pushes the soldiers to check calculations... Maybe I can give it a try."
"I have some confidence in commanding the battlefield and dispatching troops."
……
Slowly, but extremely firmly, he greeted the two people in front of him. With trembling hands, Fazheng pulled his friend Mengda forward slowly, his eyes were as bright as if they could radiate light.
He didn't know if his self-recommendation was appropriate, but from his intuition, Fazheng felt that this was a rare opportunity for him, and he had to firmly grasp it.
Chapter 29 Character Determines Destiny
"Xiaozhi, can this be done?"
"Are you a little too impulsive..."
He muttered to Fazheng in a low voice with some worry, Meng Da was being dragged forward by him at this moment, and his expression was not very good.
He heard it clearly from the side just now. General Li and Hu commanded it. These must be senior generals in the army.Although he didn't know what kind of position the other party's commander had in Lujiang, but that was the army...
Thinking of the habits of the troops in his hometown, Meng Da felt his brows twitch and he couldn't help but feel a headache.
……
As good friends who grew up together, Meng Da is very clear about Fazheng's thoughts.
It was nothing more than that he took a fancy to the position of the marching governor, and planned to rely on that position as a springboard to quickly enter Zhang Yan's field of vision.
Naturally, there is nothing wrong with this kind of thinking, because the great Han Dynasty favored martial arts, and among all the official positions, those related to the army were promoted the fastest. This was almost a customary rule in the entire Han Dynasty.
It's just... Is the army so messy?
Meng Da always felt that Fa Zhenggang's actions were too impulsive.
His good friend Fazheng can say anything, talent, knowledge and even hard work are no weaker than ordinary poor scholars, let alone those from rich and noble families.
But it is this hard work from childhood to adulthood that gave Fazheng a sense that he is better than others, and that excellent people must be reused.
Do you call it conceited?
It's not really conceited either.
The starting point is higher than others, the talent is better than others, and even the level of effort is greater than others... In terms of talent or personal ability, Meng Da has never been stingy in his praise of this friend.
But to be honest, Fazheng's behavior of going up to A without even thinking about it now...
This is a bit too idealistic, right?
You must know that although military life is promoted fast enough, the risks are far beyond what civilian officials can match.
