May 28.

After nearly a month of running around, Chen Fei finally arrived at the final destination of this eastbound trip - Yanzhou and Chenliu County.

Chenliu, located in the central plains, has 17 counties with a total population of 870,000. It is obviously a prosperous county. However, after years of war, how many of these people can still be left now has to be a big question mark.

"Is Zhao Shangshu familiar with the prefect of Chenliu? What is this person's character?"

The Chenliu City Wall was not far away, and Chen Fei asked casually.

Zhao Jian glanced at him but did not refuse to answer:

"Zhang Miao and Zhang Mengzhuo became famous at a young age. They often used their wealth to help the poor. The name of chivalrousness spread to the Central Plains. The heroes and the heroes were attached to each other, so they were listed as the Eight Chefs by those with knowledge."

Chen Fei was slightly stunned and did not react:

"Eight Chefs?"

Zhao Jian obviously knew that there was no such concept in his mind, so he patiently explained:

"The chef refers to being generous and able to save people with money!"

Chen Fei hurriedly thanked:

"I'm sure to teach..."

When the two of them discussed Zhang Miao's character in a word, they saw dozens of knights running along Guanlu. Seeing that they were aggressive and did not care about the appearance of pedestrians at all, Chen Fei and Zhao Jian hurriedly avoided both sides.

"drive!"

"Idle people retreat!"

"drink!"

Chen Fei, who had eaten a mouthful of dust, couldn't help but wave his sleeves, but he was still a little shocked at the other party's momentum.

Although these dozens of cavalry were covered in dust and slightly declining spirits, they all were like dragons and horses like tigers, and they rushed past Chen Fei with lightning and wind.

Seeing them not seeing any bumps on the horse's back, and thinking about their own aching butt, Chen Fei was still very ashamed:

"This is the real riding technique!"

When the dust fell, Chen Fei drove his horse to meet Zhao Jian again, but saw Zhao Jian's face full of shock.

He quickly strangled his mount:

"Shangshu Zhao, why are you so panicked?"

Zhao Jian swallowed his saliva and his eyes moved far away with the knights:

"Don't you... know these people?"

Chen Fei frowned and thought for a while, and was sure that his memory was not as good as these rough men, so he shook his head seriously.

Zhao Jian withdrew his gaze:

"The first person...is Lu Bu in Wuyuan!"

Chen Fei was shocked and almost fell from the horse's back!

-

"After a few years of separation, Wen Hou's style remains the same!"

"Don't make fun of the Lord of the House. Bu is hard to tolerate the Yuan brothers. It's a dead end. I hope the Lord of the House will take in with you pitifully!"

"Fengxian was a tiger general in the world, and everyone knows that although you and I don't have a deep relationship, Miao feels that we met too late. If Marquis Wen does not dislike Zhang Miao's eclipse, he would like to have a friend with Marquis Wen's brothers!"

"I am grateful to my brother for his mercy. I dare not obey my orders!"

When Chen Fei and Zhao Jian slowly entered Chenliu City, a good show of "Jinlan" was being staged in the county magistrate's residence.

The prefect of Chenliu, Zhang Miao, one of the "Eight Chefs", was hugging Lu Bu, a wanted criminal who fled everywhere. It really seemed like Liu, Guan, Zhang and Zhang had a feud in Taoyuan.

Three years ago, Lu Bu was still killing the Kanto Alliance under Dong Zhuo. Three years later, Zhang Miao, one of the Kanto Alliance, took the initiative to welcome Lu Bu who fled everywhere, and even called him brother, which was somewhat absurd.

Lu Bu took the opportunity to make his own request:

"If my brother doesn't dislike my poor martial arts skills, I would like to lead one or two hundred personal soldiers to protect my brother."

Zhang Miao smiled with his palm:

"Fengxian is the bravest army, just for the protection of the mere guards, and the heroes in the world will laugh at my foolish brother. I want to trust Chenliu's soldiers and horses, but there are really difficulties..."

He smiled tightly and said earnestly:

"Cao Mengde now has all the lands in Yanzhou and has always been kind to Yuan Benchu. Since his virtuous brother was regarded as a thorn in his eyes by Yuan, how could he tolerate Cao? If my foolish brother keeps you in Chenliu, he will harm his virtuous brother!"

Lu Bu lowered his proud head with a dull look and sighed sadly:

"The world is so great that there is no place for Lu Bu to live in?!"

Zhang Miao stroked his beard with one hand and said with a gentle voice:

"Don't be depressed in Fengxian. Hanoi Prefect Zhang Yang and his brother went out of Bingzhou together. They will definitely be able to support each other. When they are between Yuan and Cao, they need tiger generals like their brother to shock soldiers. If they have this plan, they can send their elite cavalry to help them settle down in Hanoi."

Lu Bu was slightly cheered up and bowed. Just as he was about to thank him, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps.

A doorman quickly walked into the hall door and stood up to report:

"The Lord of the Palace, the envoy of the court has arrived outside the door."

Zhang Miao's face changed slightly, and he quickly stood up:

"Can you know your name and official position?"

The doorman bowed slightly and handed over a name to the stabbing:

"There are two people in total. The elderly call themselves the Minister of Shangshu, Zhao Jian of Jingzhao, and the other is the Minister of Shangshu, and Chen Fei of the Right Fufeng."

Zhang Miao took the Mingtao and glanced at him and explained to Lu Bu:

"Zhao Shumao is a famous scholar in Guanzhong. Fengxian knew that even Dong Zhongying had to be in awe at that time. His father, Zhao Taipu, was recuperating in Chenliu at this moment, and he would welcome his brother in good health and reason. My brother will live in the backyard of the mansion. When I send the envoy of the court, I will drink with you for three more days!"

"Brother, official duties are important, I will leave first."

Lu Bu quickly agreed and quickly left through the side door.

While Zhang Miao ordered the servants to clean up the table, he tidied up his clothes and followed the doorman to walk towards the main entrance quickly.

I saw two people standing in the courtyard, one of whom was over forty years old, with straight hair and straight beards, and a meticulous look of a serious look without anger but mighty. The other was obviously young between his eyebrows and eyes, and he was still looking at the surrounding environment curiously. He only stopped his eyes after seeing Zhang Miao.

Zhang Miao bowed his head slightly to him, and scooping his hand was a standard gift:

"Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu County, pay homage to the two envoys."

Although the county magistrate was a 2,000-stone chief official, while Zhao and Chen were only 600-seven-seven small officials, after all, they were the central officials representing the emperor, so it was reasonable to ask Zhang Miao to bow his head and bow.

What's more... Zhao Jian and Chen Fei are not reciprocating the gifts.

Zhao Jian bowed calmly to him:

"Shangshu Zhao Jian, Zhang Fujun is polite."

Zhang Miao turned sideways and reached out to the main hall:

"The sun is hot, and Secretary Zhao and Minister Chen are running all the way. Please go to the hall to discuss in detail."

The three of them sat in the hall in the main and secondary directions, and Zhao Jian bowed and expressed his purpose:

"This time I came to the east for both official and private affairs. My follower's father, Zhao Taipu, comforted Guandong last year and mediated the dispute between Yuan Benchu ​​and Gongsun Bogui. Later, he was stranded here due to illness. The emperor was very concerned and sent a special visit. Since Zhang Fujun was the governor of Chenliu County, Jian first thanked him for taking care of his follower's feelings."

Zhang Miao smiled and gave in modesty:

"We all admire the great scholars in the country of Zhao Taipu. We are all respectful to our care and service. How dare we make contributions? The Taipu lives in Chenliu for a while, and Miao has visited many times. His clothes, money and food are not needed to worry about Zhao Shangshu, but Zhao Taipu is old and weak after all, so he can only rest and suffer from hard work."

Zhao Jian bowed and thanked again:

"Zhang's family's benevolent and righteous acts are extremely grateful. Before entering the city, we saw Lu Bu riding a horse into the city on the road. Can you tell me the way this person is?"

Chen Fei was stunned.

I was still very grateful the previous second, but I suddenly questioned the next second... Zhao Jian changed his face too quickly!

But Zhang Miao was not panicked, but admitted frankly:

"Lu Fengxian killed Dong Zhuo. Although he was to protect himself, he was also to eliminate harm for the country. I respected him bravery and pity his embarrassment, so I took him in for the time being. It is not to be concealed that Zhang Miao has always neglected wealth and righteousness. In the past twenty years, there are probably no less than a thousand party members and raiders. Does Zhao Shangshu think it is inappropriate?"

Zhao Jian sighed:

"I am an old official of King Situ (Wang Yun), how can I not know Lu Bu! His killing of the former master Ding Yuan first and helping the evil and abuse later. Although he has the merit of killing the thief for the country, he cannot hide his virtue of being cunning and repetitive! The emperor of the palace must not have a close relationship with him, otherwise he will be harmed by him!"

Although Zhang Miao looked at the ears of his ears, he still didn't care:

"Zhang Miao kept it in mind for his good advice. However, I did not want to take Lu Bu in for my own use, but just suggested that he join his fellow villager Zhang Yang. Zhao Shangshu don't have to worry too much."

Chen Fei had always wanted to ask Cao Cao's current location, but he had never had the right opportunity. He was worried that Zhao Jian would be suspicious, so he could only fill his Five Insect Temple first.

The three of them talked and drank and had a meal, but it was already afternoon.

As soon as the servant removed the tableware, a doorman rushed in in a panic and even knocked over a maid.

"What kind of decent form!"

Zhang Miao, who felt that he had lost face in front of outsiders, couldn't help but scold him. The sector was silent and could only beg for mercy. In this chaotic era, a prefect had the unquestionable power of life and death for his sector, and even if he sued him, he would not care!

Zhao Jian quickly gave a step:

"So panic, something big must have happened. Why not listen to the report and then deal with it?"

Zhang Miao snorted.

The doorman still didn't dare to raise his head, his forehead was tightly pressed against the ground, and his voice trembled:

"Reported to the Lord of the Mansion, Juan (pronounced ‘Jen’) City came to report urgently. Xuzhou Governor Tao Qian killed former Grand Marshal Cao Song and his family hundreds of family members. In a furious manner, the governor Cao... had already led his troops to attack Xuzhou!"

"Bang!"

Zhang Miao widened his eyes and punched the table!

Zhao Jian sighed and said silently.

Chen Fei felt cold in his heart.
Chapter completed!
