The mountain road here has eighteen bends, and the waterway here has nine links This is Gongsun Bai's impression of the road to Montenegro.
The rugged and winding mountain road was so bumpy that Gongsun Bai and the white horses behind him complained bitterly.
Walking in front of the guide is Zhang Yan's subordinate general Du Chang, this is a sturdy and rough man, although it is the early autumn season, he is not wearing much armor, faintly revealing the bulging muscles on his chest and arms, but the most impressive thing is a deep scar on the side of his left face, which is shocking and adds a bit of bravery.
Behind is Zhao Yun led forty or fifty white horse servants, dragging colored satin, cloth, gold and jade and other items on horseback, which was the dowry gift from the Gongsun family to the Zhang family.
But fortunately, it is already the early winter season, and it is not very hot all the way, and there are mountain springs on the road from time to time, which can quench your thirst, but it is not uncomfortable.
What is really uncomfortable is the rugged and difficult mountain road, and the uninhabited loneliness that stretches for ten miles and eight miles, and occasionally hears the song of the woodcutter, but I don't know where it is.
What's even more terrifying is that there are occasional roars of fierce tigers in the mountains, which frightens those war horses to tremble.
Finally, after hundreds of miles of mountain roads, it was not until it was dark that the front gradually became more populated, and the road gradually widened, occasionally revealing large areas of flat land, some planted with vegetables and some with wheat, but the growth was not very good.
From time to time, I see small mountain villages, but they are not big, generally there are twenty or thirty households, and even a few families.
In the mountain village, the smoke curls from the cooking, the loud mountain songs come and go, and the noise and laughter of children spread far and wide in this quiet mountain wilderness.
Twilight gradually falls, and a faint mountain mist runs through the mountains, like smoke and veil, setting off the vast mountains extremely mysterious and quiet.
"If the tea can't be poured out, blow it, and the spout is placed in the sister's mouth, it is better to make a teapot spout, often begging for cheapness in the sister's mouth, and the taste is very strange."
Out of nowhere, a wisp of mountain song floated out, melodious and cheerful.
Gongsun Bai looked at the mountains in the twilight, listened to the laughter in the mountain village on the side of the road and the loud and slightly obscene mountain songs, only to feel that his heart was very quiet and ethereal, and in an instant there was a feeling of forgetting all the humiliation and humiliation, and having mixed feelings.
"The mountains are poor, why are they so happy," Gongsun Bai asked puzzled.
"Although the Montenegrin army is one million, it is basically self-sufficient, so the taxes in the mountains are very low, and the poor are indeed exempt from taxes.
In this way, there is neither the oppression of cool officials, nor the suffering of war, so it is rejoicing.
Du Chang replied.
Could this be the paradise of the troubled times in the late Han Dynasty, no wonder Zhang Yan was able to gather millions of people in this poor mountain and bad water.
Gongsun Bai couldn't help but have a good impression of Zhang Yan in his heart, it seems that this thief who can make millions of people bow down to his orders is by no means an idle person.
Du Chang looked at the sky and shouted to the front part: "Speed up and rush to the post house before the first shift." ” There are also post houses in the mountains and wilderness Gongsun Bai looked stunned, but thinking that Zhang Yan at this moment was no longer a bandit in theory, but a general of the Great Han Dynasty, a court official responsible for managing the affairs of the mountainous area, it was not a strange thing to set up a post house.
Sure enough, after galloping for six or seven miles, the front suddenly opened up greatly, and then there was a small mountain city, the city wall is not high, only two or three zhang high, the radius is only three or four hundred meters, the inhabitants of the city are only a few hundred households, not so much a city, but a small town with a city wall.
There is indeed a post house in the city, although it is simple, but in this early winter season, there is hot water, warm food, and clean beds, which is not bad.
After scrubbing the dust off their bodies and eating food, they went to bed early.
In the dimness, Gongsun Bai seemed to hear someone chatting at night.
"Lao Du, what's going on, there is another group of proposers, a group of people only passed two days ago, saying that the son of the Yuan family of the fourth world and the third prince is quite big."
"Damn, this is the main master, it is the Zhonglang general who takes a fancy to it, the one in front is an uninvited fool, what about the third prince of the fourth world, a concubine without a lord, this son who came today, although he is also a concubine, but he is the pavilion marquis of the imperial court."
"My God, this son is only fourteen or fifteen years old, he is actually a marquis, he is handsome, and his temper is good, he is a perfect match for our holy aunt in Montenegro, just the virtue of the kid in front, how to match the holy aunt" "Hehe, wait, as long as Gongsun Gongzi arrives, Zhonglang will definitely drive that kid back."
It turned out that the kid of the Yuan family had already run to the front, and Gongsun Bai couldn't hear anything after listening for a while, so he fell asleep.
Early the next morning, the group hurried away.
Due to the previous legend, coupled with the identity of Gongsun Bai Tinghou and his peaceful temperament, Du Chang was full of good feelings for Gongsun Bai, and he talked about the anecdotes in the mountains along the way, which also relieved Gongsun Bai's boredom a lot, and even Zhao Yun behind him listened to it with relish.
After walking for half a day, the front is impressively open, and a large area of flat land is displayed in front of everyone, but the road for everyone to ride is not wide, looking at the past is full of verdant winter vegetables and wheat fields, and there is only a road in the middle that can be used for two carriages in parallel.
At the end of the road, I saw a majestic city towering among the mountains in the distance, which was particularly majestic and solemn.
"There is Black Mountain City in front, Zhang Zhonglang will be in the city, and you can reach it by walking ten miles."
Du Chang pointed to the majestic city and said with a smile.
There is really a hole in the mountain, and it is also happy to be a soil emperor in this mountain.
Soon, it was under the city of Montenegro, there were no defenders on the city tower, only a few soldiers standing at the door guarding the door, but also wearing Han army armor, unlike the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, which was dressed differently, only the yellow scarf on the head could be recognized.
Seeing Commander Du coming, the defenders saluted him and let him in.
When I entered the small mountain city last night, most of the people in the city had fallen asleep, and there was a lonely place, and now I entered this black mountain city, but it was a bit of the taste of the county town outside the mountain, people came and went in the city, there were many shops, and the streets were also full of small stalls on both sides, there were goods from the mountains, such as animal skins, pheasants and hares, and there were also goods from outside the mountains, such as ironware, flint, salt, etc., which were dazzling.
Passing through the long street, everyone under the leadership of Du Chang came to a magnificent mansion, and a large plaque was hung on the door of the mansion, with a gilt character left on the book "Ping Difficult Zhonglang General's Mansion".
Du Chang asked Gongsun Bai and the others to wait at the bottom of the steps, only stepped forward and climbed the steps, and said something to the guard at the door, and the guard immediately entered to report.
After a while, the guard came back and said something to Du Chang, Du Chang's face changed in an instant, and he pushed the guard away and broke in directly.
Gongsun Bai looked stunned.
First of all, this Du Chang seems to have won Zhang Yan's favor, otherwise he would not dare to break in, and the guards at the door seem to be commonplace, and they are not blocked; Secondly, it is obvious that this marriage may have changed, otherwise the dignified Han Pavilion Marquis would not have been hung out of the door. , it seems that the arrival of the Yuan family kid in front of him has shaken Zhang Yan's mind.
After all, the fourth generation and third duke of the Yuan family, the name of the world, Yuan Shao got the land of Jizhou again, and there were many soldiers and food, and now he took the initiative to ask for marriage, and Zhang Yan did not hesitate.

This is not as simple as asking for a marriage, but to compete with others for a wife.
What's more, this is really a "dead bald donkey, dare to rob the teacher with the poor road", don't fight for steamed buns, how can the woman in Lao Tzu's hand let others snatch it, and how can she pretend to be in the world in the future Gongsun Bai was slandered for a while, but he pretended to be forced to pretend to be forced, but he knew in his heart how much it meant to him to rob his wife, once history shifted, Zhang Yan really married Yuan Shao, and the victory rate of the battle between Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao would be very slim, and no matter how good he was, it would be difficult to change his fate.
He can't afford to lose this battle In the Zhonglang General's Mansion, a middle-aged man in a Chinese costume with thick eyebrows and a square face and a slender figure sat in the lobby, frowning, looking thoughtful.
This person is Zhang Yan, the leader of the Black Mountain Army and the general of the Great Han Dynasty.
Zhang Yan's original name was Chu Yan, originally the Yellow Turban Army Marshal Zhang Niujiao's subordinates, and also Zhang Niujiao's son-in-law, the two were like father and son, Zhang Niujiao ordered the tribe to be under the command of Chu Yan before his death, and Zhang Yan changed his name to Zhang Yan in memory of his father-in-law who was recreated by Entong.
Just when he was thinking a lot, Du Chang had already broken in.
"Brother, I have invited the Marquis of Guangning Pavilion to come, and now I have a dowry outside the mansion, why don't you see it" Du Chang didn't see the courtesy, and shouted hurriedly when he saw Zhang Yan.
Du Chang once saved Zhang Yan's life on the battlefield, and the scar on his face was left when he saved Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan looked at this brother of life and death who had saved his life, and smiled unhurriedly: "Third brother, you are always so impatient, sit down and drink hot wine first." ” Du Chang seemed to be impatient, and said urgently: "The foolish brother doesn't have the leisure to do so, the Guangning Pavilion Marquis is still waiting outside the door for the foolish brother to reply." ” Zhang Yan smiled helplessly: "The third brother knows that Yuan Shao of Jizhou has sent someone to Montenegro one step ahead of the Guangning Tinghou."
Du Chang's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "So what, the elder brother sent the foolish brother to visit the Jihou first, and now that the Guangning Pavilion Marquis has arrived, the elder brother has to hesitate to tell the foolish brother how to behave."
Zhang Yan smiled and said: "Gongsun Zan or Yuan Shao, but they are all ambitious, and the wish of the foolish brother is to let these million brothers live a peaceful life in the mountains."
It's just that now Yuan Shao has Jizhou, there are many soldiers and food, he was born in a famous family, the fourth world and the third duke, and there are many old officials, and now he takes the initiative to show goodwill, and the foolish brother has to think about it. ” Du Chang said angrily: "I look at the Guangning Pavilion Marquis, a young hero, extraordinary bearing, handsome, approachable, and kind to my Yellow Turban Army, it is really the wishful husband of Mo's niece."
And what I heard all the way, the concubine of the Yuan family acted frivolously, behaved frivolously, although he was a concubine, and he had no fame, but he regarded himself as a famous family everywhere, and his eyes were empty, how could he entrust the brother of the Mo niece and ruin the life of the Mo niece because of a moment of snobbery I can tell you, back then, it was the foolish brother who snatched the Mo niece out of the chaos, and it was also half of the foolish brother's daughter, so you can't let you mess around. ” Zhang Yan said with a smile: "The third brother accompanied the Guangning Pavilion Marquis all the way, and it seems that he has a great impression of this little marquis."
In this case, I want to see if this young heroic Tinghou has any way to make the foolish brother marry his daughter to him willingly, and if he wants to marry Zhang Yan's daughter, he can't just rely on his false name, he has to rely on his real skills.
It's better to let the two of them wait in the city for the time being, to see who is more capable and get Zhang's approval. ” Du Chang blinked and asked, "Brother wants to test your future son-in-law."
"Exactly" "Good idea, foolish brother agrees" The two looked at each other and laughed.
