Chapter 1018: Pioneering!【3】

After three rounds of wine and five courses of food.

The atmosphere at the banquet also gradually eased a lot.

The fear in everyone's hearts for Duan Yu was not as it was before they met.

However, they still felt awe for Duan Yu's methods in their hearts.

Kill a group, pull a group.

As everyone in the hall had drunk enough, they gradually began to leave the banquet.

When Zhang Huan's sons, Zhang Zhi, Zhang Chang, and Zhang Meng, were about to leave, Duan Yu spoke up and stopped the three.

The three brothers who were left alone were confused.

They didn't know what Duan Yu had to do with them by keeping them.

Soon, those who came to the banquet tonight also left one after another.

Only the three brothers and Gai Xun were still in the hall.

Duan Yu looked up and down at the three brothers.

Duan Yu had never met Zhang Huan.

Because before he traveled here, Zhang Huan was already dead.

In the fourth year of Guanghe, which was three years ago, Zhang Huan died of illness at home.

In the first half of his life, Zhang Huan fought for the country, sat in Liangzhou, and resisted the Northern Xiongnu.

But in the second half of his life, Zhang Huan realized the rejection of the Luoyang imperial court and knew that the noble clans of the world could not tolerate the growth of Liangzhou. Forced to resign, Zhang Huan began to focus on studying at home.

In his later years, Zhang Huan lectured on the Confucian classics, wrote more than 300,000 words of 'Minister Jinan', and accepted a thousand disciples.

And Zhang Huan's two sons, the eldest son Zhang Zhi and the second son Zhang Chang, also received the true teachings.

At this time, the three brothers were standing in front of Duan Yu.

Zhang Zhi and Zhang Chang were both full of scholarly air.

Only Zhang Meng had some martial air.

"Shitou, call someone to serve tea to the young masters of Zhang to sober up." Duan Yu said to Tie Shitou.

Tie Shitou nodded hurriedly.

"Don't dare, don't dare, don't trouble the Marquis."

Zhang Zhi hurriedly thanked him and said: "We have already troubled the Marquis too much."

Duan Yu shook his head with a smile and said: "Boying is too polite."

Boying is the courtesy name of Zhang Zhi.

The three brothers, Zhang Zhi's courtesy name is Boying, Zhang Chang's courtesy name is Wenshu, and Zhang Meng's courtesy name is Shuwei.

Although the three brothers looked similar, their temperaments were different.

"Old General Zhang is a person this Marquis respects, but he was born at the wrong time and could not stand in the imperial court to seek blessings for the people."

"Of course, this is not the reason for Old General Zhang; the reason is the imperial court."

Duan Yu mentioned Zhang Huan, and the brothers seemed to have fallen into memories.

Indeed.

If Zhang Huan had not been squeezed out, he would not have died in depression in his later years.

The 'Three Brights' of Liangzhou, Huangfu Gui, Zhang Huan, and Duan Jiong, took three different paths, but none of these three paths worked.

In the end, they all died very unwillingly.

Huangfu Gui was willing to join the party members, but was not accepted, and eventually died on the way to his post.

Duan Jiong simply joined the eunuchs, but unfortunately, he eventually drank poison and died in prison.

And Zhang Huan, joining the party members didn't work, joining the eunuchs didn't work, Zhang Huan chose to join the 'Clear Stream'.

But the final outcome was still the same, forced to resign and died in depression. ===== CHAPTER 1020 =====
