Yang Wanli set off two days in advance.

Wu Liang and Cao Chun's troops set out early with Boss Cao's army and headed straight for Wen County. Except for Dian Wei, who was temporarily absent due to injury, Wu Liang took the rest of the accompanying backbone of the Hu army with him.

.

Each of these backbones of the Hu army has a different role, and no one can replace them.

As for the soldiers of the Hu army, they only took 10 with them, and the rest stayed with Cao's army to take care of Dian Wei's daily life.

After all, Cao Chun and hundreds of "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry" soldiers are accompanying him this time, so there shouldn't be much problem with defense. Even if he fights Lu Bu head-on, Wu's conscience will be clear.

But after all, it is going to someone else's sphere of influence.

Adhering to the principle of doing less than doing more, Wu Liang did not march openly and openly with hundreds of "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry" soldiers. Instead, he ordered the "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry" to hide their whereabouts and protect them secretly as usual, leaving only Cao Chun and a dozen of them.

A soldier was with him in case of emergencies.

They marched like this for about three days.

Wu Liang and others finally entered the boundaries of Wen County.

Different from the border between Yanzhou and Jizhou, the atmosphere here is obviously not that tense. After all, Wen County is subordinate to Hanoi County. The south where Wu Liang and others entered is Henan Yin. This is the territory of the Sili Department and is temporarily merged.

It has not been separated and checked by powerful powers, and there have been no wars here recently. It is relatively a state of "living and working in peace and contentment".

Therefore, they encountered almost no setbacks and entered Wenxian County easily.

Yang Wanli explored the route in advance and had already made arrangements. As early as outside the city gate, there were soldiers of the Hu army waiting to greet them, guiding Wu Liang and others along the way without taking any detours.

After temporarily settling in the city.

Yang Wanli took the initiative to come to Wu Liang's room alone and report to him the news he had heard in the past two days.

"Sir, what you said before is true. The Sima family is indeed a dominant family in Wen County. From the county officials to the common people, they all respect the Sima family very much. In the past two days, I have only heard

When people talk about their family, they always speak highly of their head, Sima Fang."

Yang Wanli said rather exaggeratedly, "I'm not saying that, even our Chenliu Zhu family is far from being able to reach this level. This Sima family is indeed not simple."

Wu Liang shook his head and said with a smile: "It's different. Chenliunai is the main city of a princess. In addition to the Zhu family, there are other large and small aristocratic families living in it. It's good for the Zhu family to be the leader, and Wen

The county is just a county town. Just like our army in Yongqiu County, our family is also the only one... But everyone talks highly of the Sima family. This is indeed a bit exaggerated. It seems that Sima

The family’s methods are indeed very simple.”

In Wu Liang's view, this world is not about being a good person and doing good deeds to satisfy everyone.

After all, everyone's interests cannot be exactly the same, and the interests of many people are still conflicting with each other. Therefore, good people and good deeds can only be relatively speaking. If you want to safeguard the interests of one group of people, it may harm the interests of another group of people.

Interests, and how can these people who have suffered losses be willing to do so?

Isn't there an Internet saying in later generations - "I'm not RMB, why should everyone like me?"

The Sima family is neither gold nor jewelry, so it is absolutely impossible for everyone to praise them... unless they give both kindness and power.

There will definitely be no shortage of sweet dates and big sticks!

"What the Master is saying is that even if the Master settles so many refugees in Yongqiu, he still cannot make everyone praise him. How can the Sima family be so virtuous? They must have used unusual means!"

Yang Wanli said with a very smooth smile, this guy was a greasy spy before, but after joining Wu Liang, he only became more greasy, and his ability to climb along the pole gradually improved.

"Have you personally seen anyone from the Sima family in the past two days?"

Wu Liang then asked again.

"Never seen it before."

Yang Wanli shook his head, "I have been following the young master's instructions these past two days. I have prioritized being cautious and low-key in everything. I rarely ask anyone when I go out. I just inadvertently go to crowded and lively places to listen to the people here chatting. Therefore, although I went to bed early in the morning

I know the location of Sima Mansion, but I haven’t gone to investigate secretly.”

"Well, you did a good job."

Wu Liang nodded slightly and said, "Besides these, there are other news, especially the rumors about Wen County and Lu Bu."

"Speaking of Wen County, my local people say that the word 'Wen' originated from the name of a feudal state in the Zhou Dynasty. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Di people destroyed Wen, and the Emperor of Zhou took back this place as the land of Kinei, and finally established the county.

.”

Yang Wanli said sternly, "However, the word 'Wen' is not just as simple as the name of the country. Earlier, this place was called Wen Di. In fact, it was because there were two rather peculiar hot springs in the territory. These two hot springs are very strange.

It can change with the seasons, making the water temperature in the spring cool in summer and warm in winter, and the surrounding people have benefited a lot from this."

"Cold in summer and warm in winter?"

This was the first time Wu Liang had heard of such a hot spring.

In his usual understanding, all hot springs are from specific water sources produced by geothermal heat. Normally, as long as the heat source does not change, the water temperature will not change much throughout the year, and naturally it should not happen.

The counter-seasonal phenomenon of "cool in summer and warm in winter".

This indeed occupies the word "odd".

Wu Liang secretly kept this in mind and thought it was necessary to go to these two hot springs to investigate and try to find out the real reason for this strange phenomenon.

in addition……

Although Wu Liang has never been to Wenxian in his later generations, he is not sure whether there are two such hot springs in Wenxian in later generations, but he is certain that there are few known hot springs in China that have such strange characteristics.

.

"It must be true. Yesterday, I went to one of the hot springs to investigate. The hot spring was quite warm at this time, and white mist was rising from the water. I felt it with my hands. The water temperature should be warmer than that of human beings.

The body temperature is slightly higher, and the water is placed in the

Although you can feel the heat in it, it doesn't feel scalding. The nearby villagers told me that by April next year, the temperature of the water will gradually drop, and in the hot summer season, it will feel as if it has just been poured.

It’s as cold as well water and biting to the bone.”

Seeing Wu Liang's suspicious expression, Yang Wanli quickly told the conclusion he had drawn from his personal visit.

"Let's go and have a look together later."

Wu Liang nodded and continued, "What about Lu Bu? Have you heard any valuable information?"

Yang Wanli spread his hands helplessly and said: "Young Master, please forgive me, I have been walking around for the past two days, but I haven't heard any news related to Lu Bu. Even many local people don't even know who Lu Bu is. I

I even deliberately mentioned 'Wenhou' in front of a few people, but they didn't know that there was a 'Wenhou' in Wen County. Some people even asked me if 'Wenhou' was from the Sima family.

The head of the family, Sima Fang."

"..."

Wu Liang was also speechless.

In fact, it is not to blame that the local people are ignorant.

After all, the information transmission methods in this era are too simple, and it is actually difficult for ordinary people to access this information.

In addition, Lu Bu was in Chang'an when he was named "Marquis of Wen". After being named "Marquis of Wen", he never came to Wen County to take office. Instead, he stayed in Chang'an to control the government until the poisonous scholar Jia Xu offered advice to Li Jue.

Guo Si led his troops to invade Chang'an and fled in a panic. He barely served as a marquis in Wen County for a day.

In this case, it is understandable that they did not know Lu Bu and did not know that there had been a "Wenhou" here.

After pondering for a moment, Wu Liang then asked: "Is there any other information that needs to be added?"

Glutinous rice

"No more for the time being. Is there anything you need to inquire about, sir? I can arrange it right away?"

Yang Wanli responded quickly.

"No need, be cautious and keep a low profile."

Wu Liang smiled.

…

It seems that if you want to find out the news about Lu Bu through folk rumors, this road should be difficult to pass, and you still have to visit it yourself.

The only clues he has now are Zhang Liao and Gao Shun's remarks.

Together, they confirmed that Lu Bu suddenly became a "flying general" after following Ding Yuan to station in Wen County. This incident should not be false. After all, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are both famous historical generals recorded in history, and both of them

They are not the kind of people who are cunning and sophistry, but two tough guys who spit on each other and make mistakes. Naturally, their words are relatively credible.

So I spent the night repairing it a little bit.

In the early morning of the next day, Wu Liang summoned the backbone of the Hu army and Cao Chun and announced his plan: "Yesterday I heard Yang Wanli say that there are two unique hot springs in Wen County. Now is the time when the hot springs are the most comfortable. We

We have already arrived, so it would be unreasonable not to go and take a look, so I decided to take everyone to visit these two hot springs today and relax by the way, what do you think?"

No clue yet.

So it would be a good choice to start with the most peculiar things here, and you might even be able to make some unexpected discoveries.

"Yeah!"

Zhuge Liang has not yet reached the age of playfulness, so when he hears some playfulness, he expresses his approval with both hands.

The other backbones of the Hu army also nodded to express their obedience.

They already knew enough about Wu Liang to know that when Wu Liang asked "What do you think?", in fact, he was not discussing with them at all, but another form of notification. He must have his own plans in mind.
To be continued...
