Chapter 224

"Brother Zhang misunderstood, I am just of humble origin and grew up in the countryside."

"Thanks to Duan Big Brother for not abandoning me, teaching me skills, and bringing me from the countryside into the city."

"I have three other good brothers, all from the same place."

"Duan Big Brother does not look at background when using people, and is not constrained by vulgar etiquette."

"My master Gao Shun was once sold to bury his mother because his family was poor, and was later taken in by Duan Big Brother."

"Now he is the number one general under Duan Big Brother who holds military power."

"This time coming to Yanmen Commandery, he commands nearly a thousand cavalry."

"Brother Zhang..."

Chen Qing'an looked at Zhang Liao, who was increasingly surprised on the side, and said sincerely: "With Brother Zhang's ability, Duan Big Brother will definitely like you."

Zhang Liao was slightly stunned.

Then he shook his head with a clear mirror in his heart and didn't answer.

Duan Yu...

He has heard this name many times recently.

It's just that he has only heard the name but hasn't seen the person.

Turning his head to look at the soldiers who were cooking, Zhang Liao's eyes were filled with relief.

If possible, he still hopes to stay in Yanmen, stay near his home.

Parents are here, so don't travel far.

This is his home, and it is also the place he wants to protect.

In the sixth year of Xiping, he was not yet ten years old.

He saw with his own eyes the Xianbei Chanyu Tanshihuai leading tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry to invade Yanmen.

From then on, he swore that if he grew up, he must protect his home and protect Yanmen.

"Come, drink!"

Zhang Liao raised the wine bag and drank heavily, then handed it to Chen Qing'an.

Not long after.

Under the cold moonlight, the thunderous sound of horse hooves broke through the day and night.

Thousands of cavalry galloped in the night, heading straight for Loufan Pass.

"It's here!"

Chen Qing'an looked excitedly into the distance.

Zhang Liao also widened his eyes curiously.

Zhang Liao had heard many rumors about Duan Yu.

It's just that he hasn't seen Duan Yu himself yet.

"Brother Zhang, I will introduce you to Duan Big Brother." Chen Qing'an said.

Zhang Liao nodded with a smile and said: "Okay."

After speaking, the two walked down the pass together.

On the pass, the soldiers who heard the sound of horse hooves also stood curiously behind the battlements and looked into the distance.

When Duan Yu brought thousands of cavalry to Loufan Pass, Chen Qing'an and Zhang Liao were already waiting under the pass gate.

Duan Yu, who turned off his horse, was covered in dust.

Gao Shun, Tie Shitou, and Wang Hunu followed closely behind.

"Duan Big Brother."

Chen Qing'an stepped forward and looked at Duan Yu excitedly: "Qing'an did not fail the mission, has controlled Loufan Pass, and beheaded Wang Rou's nephew, Loufan Pass guarding general Captain Wang Han."

Duan Yu smiled and stepped forward, then reached out and placed it on Chen Qing'an's shoulder and patted it a few times.

"Well done."

Just a simple compliment, but it made Chen Qing'an's face flush with excitement.

However, the excited Chen Qing'an did not forget Zhang Liao, and after turning to the side, he introduced him to Duan Yu:

"Duan Big Brother, this trip could be so smooth, all thanks to Brother Zhang's strong support."

"Brother Zhang, this is my Duan Big Brother." Chen Qing'an said.

Zhang Liao, who saw Duan Yu for the first time, widened his eyes at this time.

There were only three words in his heart.

So majestic!

Under the blessing of the system, Duan Yu's body began to develop for the second time, and his height had now exceeded one meter nine.

Broad shoulders, wide back, just standing there, he gave people a feeling of extreme oppression.

And the faint murderous aura on his body.

Perhaps ordinary people can't feel it, only when standing in front of Duan Yu can they feel the terror.

But as a border soldier, Zhang Liao clearly knew what was going on with people who carried this kind of aura.

That's because he killed too many people.

Duan Yu's gaze crossed Chen Qing'an and also looked at Zhang Liao.

"I am Zhang Liao, I have met County Lieutenant Duan." Zhang Liao stepped forward and bowed.

Zhang Liao?

Duan Yu was stunned.

Zhang Liao of Mayi?

This... is it such a coincidence?

Duan Yu hadn't confirmed it yet, but Chen Qing'an on the side had already started talking.

"Duan Big Brother, Brother Zhang is from Mayi, Yanmen Commandery."

"Originally Brother Zhang was the deputy of Wang Han, the guarding general of Loufan Pass, but because Wang Han embezzled military pay, withheld military grain..."

Chen Qing'an explained.

Hearing Chen Qing'an's description, Duan Yu had already confirmed that the Zhang Liao in front of him was the later Zhang Eight Hundred.

Calculating the age, it was about the same.

Zhang Liao was famous when he was young, and his family was a powerful clan in Mayi.

He was a commandery official when he was young, and later after Ding Yuan succeeded as Inspector of Bingzhou, he recruited Zhang Liao and sent Zhang Liao to Luoyang to follow the dispatch of Grand General He Jin.

I didn't expect to meet him here.

"Qing'an, let Duan Big Brother enter the city first, the soldiers under his command must be tired after a day of rushing."

"I'll have the pass prepare food."

"Let's talk while we eat." Zhang Liao looked at Chen Qing'an.

Chen Qing'an nodded with a smile: "Okay, Wen Yuan is the master."

Seeing the way Chen Qing'an and Zhang Liao talked, it was obvious that their relationship was very good, and Duan Yu couldn't help but smile in his heart.

It seems that this trip to Yanmen has gained a lot.

Inside Loufan Pass.

Duan Yu, Gao Shun, Chen Qing'an, Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, and Zhang Liao sat by the campfire in an open space on the edge of the city wall inside the pass.

Listening to Chen Qing'an tell how he cooperated with Zhang Liao, rushed out of Wang Han's mansion, and then beheaded Wang Han in front of all the soldiers.

Wang Han withholding military grain was not a matter of one or two days.

Most of the soldiers in Loufan Pass dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak.

This time Wang Han was in trouble, and the soldiers were naturally happy to see it, and there was no one to help Wang Han.

On the contrary, there were many soldiers who supported Zhang Liao.

The die-hards in Wang Han's mansion almost didn't make any waves, and were directly extinguished, then tied up and detained.

After beheading Wang Han, Zhang Liao's first thing was to immediately open the warehouse and distribute the military grain that Wang Han had not yet sold, so that the soldiers could have a full meal first.

The prestige of ordinary days, plus the benefits after beheading Wang Han.

Eliminated all doubts in the pass.

Listening to Chen Qing'an tell Zhang Liao's approach, Duan Yu nodded silently.

People grow up with age, but some things, some people, from a young age, talent has already been displayed.
