Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

"Zilong, don't look at Lu Zijing, who looks like a ghost now, but a few days ago, when I was still in Lujiang, I ran into him drinking and bathing with some immortals!"

"When they were drinking together, Lu Zijing was not what he looks like now!"

……

"Then the so-called immortals, aren't they just like us?"

"When we return to Lujiang together, I will introduce those immortal families to you!"

"I think they will be very happy to see you, Zilong!"

Chapter 20 Reunion

After entrusting Zhao Yun to Zhang Yan, Liu Bei left the station on the second day after meeting Zhang Yan, and a group of people hurried towards Suanzao.

The number of soldiers under their command was not many, and now that they had some food and grass provided by Zhang Yan, Liu Bei had some confidence, and planned to go to Suanzao City earlier to make up for the missing pieces under his command.

Zhang Yan, on the other hand, stayed at the place where he stopped for another day.

The reason is very simple, that is, when he first met Liu Bei, Zhang Yan heard that the other party had prepared some special products from the Northland, and planned to sell them with wild jujubes.

The quick-witted Zhang Yan simply stepped forward and bought those so-called "special products" as the prefect of Lujiang.

……

According to Zhang Yan's original estimate, the so-called special products of the Northland are nothing more than some animal fur and the like.

After all, in this day and age, there are not many other special products that can be sold in the Beiping area.

But what Zhang Yan didn't expect was that the special products carried by hundreds of people in this area were handed over to him, and it took him a whole day to count them all.

Because of these specialties, it seems that they are not those simple things.

It is some traditional Chinese medicinal materials mainly composed of wild ginseng, deer antler and deer penis.

Among them, whether it is ginseng for nourishing qi, or velvet for nourishing blood, they are all packed in wooden boxes, and the movement weighs tens to hundreds of catties.

The value of these medicinal materials far exceeded Zhang Yan's imagination, and he had to set aside a special day for the medical officers accompanying the army to pre-treat the medicinal materials.

……

"My lord... My lord, look!"

"This, this ginseng is more than seven inches long, and its roots are as vigorous as a human statue..."

"This is wild ginseng that is at least 800 years old!"

At this moment, in the camp, Zhang Yan was following the medical officers in the army, walking through the wooden boxes containing medicinal materials.

It can be seen with the naked eye that a large amount of fresh ginseng and deer antler are randomly placed in the box like this. I don't know if he missed it today, or if these things have flooded the Northland today and are worthless at all.

……

"Uh, doctor, I don't know medical skills and pharmacology, so what's the point of you telling me about these years and the like?"

Scratching his head in embarrassment, Zhang Yan looked at a piece of ginseng handed to him by the other party, and said softly:

"Just tell me directly. Is it a good deal for me to buy these things in this account with grain equivalent to hundreds of gold?"

"What's the difference between the 800-year-old ginseng in your mouth and the ones in the pharmacy outside?"

……

"Hundreds of gold? If it were me, I wouldn't sell thousands of gold!"

"My lord is really lucky this time!"

Hearing Zhang Yan's curious inquiry, the medical officer's expression became distorted, and the strength with which he was holding the herbs in his hands became even more exaggerated:

"My lord, it's normal that you don't know how to deal with all kinds of affairs on a daily basis."

"Now the medicinal materials in this tent are placed in our Lujiang River. Almost all of them are priceless treasures, and no one will take them out for sale!"

……

"By the way, my lord, didn't you ask the difference?"

Having said that, the medical officer sighed, then smiled lightly, and casually opened several boxes beside him:

"My lord, look here, this is 400-year-old ginseng."

"Ginseng is the only sacred product to replenish vitality. Even if a person is seriously ill and dying, as long as he boils a bowl of soup and medicine with this ginseng root, he can live for three days and wait for his body to recover."

After that, he pointed to another box beside him:

"My lord, look at this again. This is the top-quality deer antler. The color is uniform and the fluff is fine. At first glance, it looks like the head stubble of a sika deer. This is a rare treasure that many pharmacists will never see in their lifetime!"

……

"If ginseng is a good product for invigorating Qi, then sika deer antler is the best choice for people who are seriously ill to replenish blood!"

"My lord, you are leading an army to the Suanzao Huimeng. Sooner or later, you will have conflicts with people."

"It's better to stay here for a day and let me deal with these medicinal materials."

"In this way, with the help of these medicinal materials, I don't know how many wounded soldiers on the battlefield that would otherwise be difficult to survive!"

……

So... Just like that, Zhang Yan was quickly persuaded by several accompanying doctors.

He can ignore other things, but human life is always the highest priority option for Zhang Yan.

Now, these guys actually say that they can find ways to improve the recovery rate and speed of wounded soldiers...

Now, it directly hit Zhang Yan's key focus area.

He simply waved his hand and stayed here for a day, specially for those medical officers to count and prepare the medicinal materials.

In this way, by the time Zhang Yan set off again with his army, it was already the morning of the third day.

……

On this day, Zhang Yan led an army of more than [-] people and successfully arrived at Cao Cao's current location-the city of Suanzao County.

I saw that the vicinity of Suanzao County had already been covered by the army brought by the forces of King Qin from all walks of life.

Looking around, Zhang Yan recognized at least three or five forces in it just by looking at them.

……

"This is Zang Ba's army in Taishan County..."

……

"This trilogy seems to be Chen Liu's prefect Zhang Miao's local troops?"

……

"And this one, these three big flags with Yuan characters standing up to the sky..."

"Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Yuan Yi are all here now?"

Zhang Yan suddenly had an interesting idea in his heart.

I don't know why, originally only Yuan Shao responded to the edict, but now there are more than a dozen princes responding. Among them, there is an army of [-] to [-] at every turn, and Zhang Yan's eyebrows trembled.

Judging from the current situation, the momentum to challenge Dong seems to be much larger than in history, and even the scale of the alliance of the eighteen princes in the original Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

At the very least, Cao Cao's appeal against thieves has not yet been issued, and many supporters of self-reliance are still waiting and watching, and the princes who actually participated are already approaching the limit of the eighteen princes.

Looking at these barracks supporting their respective generals and commanders' flags, even Zhang Yan couldn't help feeling a surge of emotion.

Only by actually participating in this transformation can one feel the deafening epic sense brought about by this historical event.

……

"Zijing, arrange a place outside the city. Let's camp there. Later, you and I will go to the city to pay a visit to that old boy Cao Cao."

Standing outside the city, Zhang Yan looked around, and then ordered Lu Su to arrange the next thing, while he started wandering around Suanzao with a trace of curiosity.

But what he didn't know was that in his eyes, the alliance of these princes was a rare spectacle once in a hundred years, and in the eyes of these princes, he, Zhang Yan, was also a freak that ordinary people couldn't understand!

Look at this barracks stretching for miles, how many parts does it have to be?

Thirty thousand, fifty thousand, or seventy thousand?

Such a large number of supporters at such a time... Who is this person who is sacred? Could it be that no one from the governor and Yushitai impeached this guy for plotting rebellion and plotting wrongdoing?

……

As for this matter, I really can't blame these other princes for being ignorant.

You must know that during the Qin, Han and Jin Dynasties, the Ministry of Cishi was the tool used by the central government to limit local power.

The main reason why Zhang Yan was able to develop vigorously in Lujiang, and even occupy Danyang "illegally" without being impeached, was that Chen Wen, the governor of Yangzhou at this time, was an out-and-out son of an aristocratic family.

His grandfather was the number one in Yingchuan... well, he might also be Chen Qun, the head of the Chen family, the second largest family.

As a descendant of an aristocratic family whose inheritance is based on knowledge, Chen Qun is naturally very aware of Zhang Yan's position in today's Chinese context.

In other words, it is the status of Lujiang, which has a large library, in the Chinese context.

……

Before the establishment of the Great Library, there was one and only one hometown of literati in China, and that was Yingchuan.

And the Chen family is the master of the two major Yingchuan families that are juxtaposed with the Xun family.

If it is said that in China at the end of the Han Dynasty, who knew the relationship between family inheritance and knowledge best, then Chen Qun, the Patriarch of the Chen family, was undoubtedly the most outstanding person among them.

……

Because he knew the importance of knowledge better than anyone else, Chen Qun knew very well that Lujiang, with its large library, would become the next Yingchuan sooner or later.

At that time, what will happen to Yingchuan?

What will happen to his Chen family?

This point, no one can give him an answer.

But the only thing that is certain is that, as a "vested interest", Chen Qun can only adopt two attitudes when facing unknown changes:

Or, just like the Confucianism when facing a hundred schools of thought, just beat them to death with a stick, without giving them any chance to overthrow the sand table and reshuffle the cards.
