The cuckoo is worried about the tears of the sky again, and Jingwei is endlessly reclaiming the heart. -------Clear. Huang Zunxian "Gift Liang Ren Father in the Same Year"

It was said that Guo Jia made a plan, and Yuan Zhi offered advice, and finally finalized Chen Long's plan to collect the remnants of the Yellow Turban. On the wedding night of Chen Long and Zhang Ning, Zhang Jiao, a great virtuous teacher and general of Tiangong, had fulfilled his wish, died of a serious illness, and finally died, and his last words were not mourned.

A few days later, Zhang Bao, the general of the Digong Dynasty, carried Zhang Jiao's letter and went straight to the outskirts of the plains to persuade his third brother Zhang Liang to act according to Chen Long's plan. Zhang Liang received a letter from his eldest brother, but ordered a storming of Pingyuan County, defeated Bao Xin, the defender of Pingyuan, and could not hold out according to Pingyuan City. Then he secretly detained Zhang Bao, and only sent a letter to Zhang Ning saying that when Chen Long obtained the imperial edict and brought a large army, he would discuss again.

Zhang Ning's father was newly deceased, and he was depressed all day, and he saw that the third uncle had his own plans, and the second uncle did not return, so he was depressed. Chen Long persuaded: "Since the third uncle doesn't listen to my orders, there is no need to force it. You can write a letter to the third uncle, saying that since the third uncle has won the plain, it is just a retreat for each other, so that he can stick to it. Zhang Ning wrote a letter according to his words and did not mention it.

Suddenly, it was more than a month, and it was already autumn tigers. There has been no news from Luoyang, and the imperial court soldiers and horses have not moved, thinking that the main general of the army has not yet been determined. Chen Long guessed that it was the people around Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty who wrestled with each other, especially the foreign relatives group and the eunuch group, each with their own candidates, which caused the imperial court to delay the appointment.

In January, Quang Jong's Yellow Turban troops had been broken into pieces, and small strands flowed to Lingling. Although there are also those who are not determined on the road, or wander in the countryside, or occupy the mountains for the sake of cowards, but all those who arrive at Lingling have been properly resettled by Jiang Wan and Huang Gai, the strong ones join the army, and the weak people are given cattle to plough cattle and reclaim wasteland.

Nanyang first came the news, Runan Bocai army received Zhang Jiao's last letter, according to the plan, leaving only the young general Liu Pi to lead a thousand troops to stay, confusing the enemy, the rest of the troops took advantage of the night to pull out, rushed to besiege the south of Wancheng Jingzhou Thorn Shi Xu Xuan's troops, successfully opened the gap, Zhao Hong led the army to rush out of the encirclement, the two armies converged and went south, from Jiangxia and Xiangyang between the Jing River successfully crossed the river successfully, feint to attack Jiangling, pretend to be an invincible defender to continue to flee south, smoothly came to the wilderness on the periphery of Lingling County.

Huang Gai, Liu Xian, and Gan Ning's generals led the army early on, and had a big battle with the Yellow Turban Army in Niutou Mountain, with a monstrous momentum, and people on both sides shouted and neighed, but there were no casualties. After the beautiful performance of this scene, in the battle report to the imperial court, Jiang Wan wrote: "Lingling 30,000 volunteers and braves, and moved forward, successfully killed more than 30,000 Yellow Turbans, and the rest of the people fled. The two branches of the Yellow Turban, Zhao Hong, Bo Cai, etc., have been destroyed and are no longer worried about His Majesty. ”

The war report was transmitted to the imperial court, and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was overjoyed, and the court appointed Chen Long as the rebellious general, waiting in the south, and bringing 100,000 soldiers and horses from Jizhou under the original Dong Zhuo's department to exterminate the Jizhou Yellow Turban. On the same day, he entered Beijing to face the saint and took the edict of taking office. Luoyang Zhao Da got the wire report and asked Hu Ji to rush back to Guangzong overnight to report the news.

Guangzong is left, but there are only 5,000 Yellow Turban soldiers and horses, and the rest have been dismissed and reduced to zero. Chen Long has been cultivating the Divine Spear all day long, and he has already entered the country. On this day, Hu Ji suddenly returned, and he was overjoyed, and he didn't expect that Huang Gai's solution to Zhao Hong and Bocai's Yellow Turban Army would prompt the imperial court to make up its mind. Then he summoned Zhang Ning, Hu Ji, Lu Chang, Zhou Budo and others to draw up a plan to enter Beijing to face the saint.

Zhou Budo took the lead and said: "This matter is simple, calculate the time to enter Beijing from Lingling, and enter from the south of Luoyang." Long Chen nodded and said, "Exactly." There are two things I want to discuss with you. First, in order to cover up my whereabouts, I can choose a person similar to me, really set out from Lingling, take my personal soldiers, and meet us in Wancheng south of Luoyang in order to fascinate everyone. Hu Ji will handle this matter, and you will be allowed to rush back to Lingling within seven days to make proper arrangements, and it is estimated that the edict of the imperial court will also be delivered at that time. Zhou Budo nodded in favor, Hu Ji wrote down the place where Wancheng met and left immediately.

Chen Long looked at Zhang Ning and said, "This second thing is related to Madame. Zhang Ning was originally a smart ice and snow, but seeing that Chen Long was serious, he already knew what he meant, and said gloomily: "Wenlong, but how to deal with my father's body?" ”

Zhou Budo suddenly knelt down and said guilty: "My subordinates speak bluntly, and I ask my mother to forgive me." The head of General Tiangong is naturally the biggest result of the battle, and it is very valuable. Not only can it cover up the truth of the matter, but it may also be able to exchange the appointment of the lord for the assassination. Please also ask the housewife not to dislike her subordinates abruptly. However, he persuaded Zhang Ning to give up Zhang Jiao's body for the sake of Chen Long's development.

Long Chen nodded and said, "Exactly." But I didn't mean to use the real body of my father-in-law, but to choose a dead body that was similar to my father-in-law's appearance, and to present it to the court after the head of the father-in-law. It is estimated that the dead body has been unrecognizable after being beheaded, and it can definitely be confused. My father-in-law's body, I sent someone to secretly send it to Lingling for burial, but the epitaph needs to be hidden, and when he is unified in the world, he will correct his father-in-law's name. It was up to Madame to decide. ”

Zhang Ning's heart was gloomy, thinking that his father could not be buried in his own name after his death, it was really a hero's end. Weeping tears, he said: "The husband's words are very kind. "I wanted to say that I would use my father's real corpse so as not to be recognized, but I really couldn't bear to be ruthless, so I had to obey Long Chen's arrangement.

The plan has been decided, and Chen Long said: "Mei Niang, there are many dreams at night, it's time for us to leave." Zhang Ningmei's eyes widened and said, "I'll go with me too?" ”

Zhang Ning thought about it and knew that Long Chen was afraid that it would not be safe for him to be alone here, and it really didn't make sense for him to stay. Chen Long said: "It's just a scene, you can leave a few subordinates here to make up as generals, just make a show." Zhang Ning thought about it, so he wrote another letter to Zhang Liang, hoping that he could cooperate with the plan, but there was still no news.

Chen Long asked people to make a mezzanine at the bottom of the carriage to place the coffin of Zhang Jiao, and put some cloth and sundries in the carriage, which was very safe. Zhang Ning took another carriage, several people dressed up as cloth merchants and their families, Zhou Budo and Lu Chang dressed up as domestic servants, transferred from Yecheng, bought all the way to Wancheng, only picked up the big road, swaggered all the way, but there was no danger or danger.

Everything went according to plan on Long Chen's side, but he showed Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang considered himself a high position and was unwilling to listen to Chen Long's orders, and after the death of his eldest brother, he simply put his second brother Zhang Bao under house arrest, captured the plains, and dreamed of continuing to be his own grass king. On this day, I received a letter from my niece Zhang Ning, saying that in accordance with Zhang Jiao's will, I decided to give up Guangzong, follow my husband back to Lingling, and ask the second and third uncles to reunite with Lingling, change their faces in the future, start a business together, and recast brilliance.

Zhang Liang scoffed, tore off the letter a few times, and said: "Female streamers! The Yellow Turban is a good 100,000 male soldiers, but he gives it to others, he is really a traitor to the Zhang family! "Ordered someone to call Zhang Bao to discuss a sneak attack on Guangzong and recapture the remaining Yellow Turban tribes.

Zhang Bao listened to Zhang Liang's suggestion and said again and again. "Third brother, how many times have I said this. Our uncle Chen Long, that is the dragon and phoenix among people, he is not a diehard loyalist of the Han Dynasty, and he will naturally overthrow the emperor of the Han Dynasty in the future. And we have a set of our own measures to benefit the people, which can help us realize our dream of rescuing the people. Now that you have to be independent, isn't this falling apart with your niece? I think you are ambitious, and you are blinded by profit. ”

Zhang Liang saw that Zhang Bao did not agree to attack Guangzong, and said some reason, the old face was a little unbearable, and he said angrily: "Zhang Bao! You're old and confused, and your elbows are turned out! The eldest brother is gone, so naturally we should have the final say, when will it be the niece's turn? Not to mention the niece and son-in-law! "Let people push Zhang Bao away and continue to guard him, and he will order his subordinates to attack Guangzong.

Suddenly, a soldier ran in from the hall in a panic, knelt down and said loudly: "General Rengong! Something is wrong! Huangfu Song's troops crossed the Yellow River, did not enter Puyang for rectification, and directly killed Ben Pingyuan! ”

Zhang Liang was shocked, and hurriedly arranged the city defense, preparing to resist the city and hold out, exhausting Huangfu Song's military rations. The plan to sneak attack Guangzong naturally ran aground.

Not to mention the battle clouds in Zhang Liang on the plain, Chen Long arrived in Wancheng on this day and successfully handed over the fake Lingling Taishou brought by Hu Ji. Chen Long's intention was to ask Zhang Ning and Hu Ji to go back to the rear of Lingling, but Zhang Ning refused to live or die, so she had to dress up as Chen Long's personal soldier and take it with her. The fake Lingling Taishou, driving the carriage containing Zhang Jiao's corpse, returned to Lingling without mentioning it.

Chen Long finally turned from dark to bright, and for a while the scenery was infinite, and he was no longer low-key. First go to meet Nanyang Taishou Qin Jie, Qin Jie invited local celebrities to feast in a large row to welcome the popular fried chicken in the eyes of the saint. Qin Jie sent troops to escort Chen Long until he returned to the boundary of Si Li.

Finally arrived at the south gate of Luoyang, Chen Long asked people to report that he was going in, and it was Cui Lie, a university scholar, who came to greet him.

Chen Long's light brain was naturally not idle, and began to consult Cui Lie's life. Cui Lie, the word Weikao, is a native of Anping County, Zhuo County, Youzhou. Cui Lie is a famous scholar in Youzhou, and his knowledge is naturally good, but it is a pity that he bought a Situ from Emperor Ling of Han with five million dollars, and his reputation has declined since then. Now he is still a scholar, but it is enough to show that the imperial court attaches great importance to Chen Long.

Cui Lie personally introduced Chen Long into a luxurious inn, and his words were provocative, only saying that the Jingguan'er was poor, unlike their local chief, who was so rich that he was rich. Chen Long understood and asked Zhou Budo to present a bag of silver taels with white flowers, and Cui Lie immediately smiled, and told Chen Long in detail the details of the reception of the saint the next day, and the details that need to be paid attention to were very clear and clear.

Chen Long saw that the ceremony was cumbersome, and said in his heart that fortunately there was this Cui Lie to explain, otherwise he would have violated the royal taboo and would have been beheaded and didn't know how to die. Before leaving, Chen Long said to Cui Lie: "I look at the university scholar, and I will be promoted to the head of the three princes in the near future." In the future, you will become an important minister, but remember me Chen Long! Cui Lie laughed and said, "How dare you! He defeated Zhang Jiao with Wenlong, I'm afraid we all have to point to Wenlong to promote! ”

After Cui Lie left, Chen Long secretly recruited Zhao Da and asked about the situation in Luoyang, Zhao Da provided a clue: "Although we have climbed up to Zhao Zhong, but now Shengshang has newly married Empress He, and Empress He's brother He Jin has become a general, and the strength of his relatives is also very strong." Now that the struggle for power between relatives and eunuchs has reached the stage of breaking the net, the lord was recommended by the eunuch to the saint, so you should also be careful of He Jin. ”

Long Chen nodded and asked, "Is the sale of the Holy Lord's official good?" Zhang Ning next to him snorted, Zhao Da also laughed, and said: "The business is very good, even the three princes and nine kings are clearly marked, and the price of the three princes is as high as 10 million yuan, which is also a wonder." ”

Chen Long also joked: "Ten million dollars? It's not much, and it will be able to get it back soon. How many magistrates are waiting to send money to the capital? However, if you buy an official, your reputation will stink, and we won't buy it no matter how rich we are. Zhao Da smiled and went.

At night, Long Chen finished freshening up, hugged the sleeping Zhang Ning, and his heart fluctuated. Thinking of the emperor who would be able to see the Han Dynasty tomorrow, although he disdained what they did, he was still faintly excited in his heart. If you don't have these faint kings and make the world a big mess, how can you have the opportunity to turn over and be the master?
