76. Suitable candidates to support Lu Zhi
Afraid that Zuo Feng didn't understand, Guo Peng repeated it again.
"And the angels must not do this."
Guo Peng said slowly: "Angels only need to tell the truth about what they have seen, this is the duty of angels, these gifts are just given to the next person, and they have nothing to do with the teacher, and they have nothing to do with good words, so angels don't have to do this." ”
"This ......"
Zuo Feng was a little surprised.
It is a fine tradition of eunuchs to take money to do things, and if you don't do things, you will take money, which is not in line with the rules, and Zuo Feng is not happy in his heart.
After thinking about it for a while, Zuo Feng asked, "Can Guo Lang say it clearly?" The slave maid's mind was very confused, and she didn't understand what Guo Lang meant. ”
"The meaning of the following is clear."
Guo Peng smiled and said: "The teacher is upright, not flexible, this time offended the angel, but after the angel went back, he said good words to the Son of Heaven and praised the teacher, the teacher must know that there is a problem with this matter, the first object of suspicion is in the next, when the teacher is angry, the teacher will be expelled from the teacher, but how is it good?" ”
“……”
Zuo Feng's eyes widened: "This ...... Is it really Guo Lang alone? ”
"Yes, the teacher didn't know about it."
Guo Peng nodded.
"Guo Lang, this ...... That's a bit ......."
Zuo Feng was a little difficult to digest for a while.
"Angels don't need to worry, this time, there is no need for angel words, if the angel can make the Son of Heaven reprimand the teacher, and there is no other action, then it would be the best."
Zuo Feng frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly figured it out.
"Guo Lang, what a plan."
Zuo Feng smiled.
Guo Peng also smiled.
"The angel has won the award, the teacher is indeed guilty of the angel, and I am here to compensate the teacher, but please also ask the angel not to be angry with the teacher, and be sure not to let the teacher be replaced, otherwise the teacher will be replaced, and the future of the whole army is uncertain, and this battle is really difficult to fight."
Zuo Feng understood, understood, looked Guo Peng up and down, and nodded.
"Yingchuan Guo Lang, it's really not simple, it's just Guo Lang, I took this gold, but I want to slander Lu Gong, and let His Majesty issue an edict to reprimand him, this, the slave has a guilty conscience, take this gold, and it is hot."
Guo Peng shook his head and smiled.
"It's not a simple matter to be able to get His Majesty to reprimand without shaking the teacher's position, and you need to bother the angels to think of a way, in addition, please ask the angels to help keep this matter secret, and you don't want to be expelled from the teacher by the teacher."
Guo Peng said this, and Zuo Feng nodded.
"Such a trivial matter, please rest assured that Guo Lang can easily do it, if Guo Lang has anything inconvenient in the future, it is better to come to the slave and maid to try, although the slave and maid have a low status, but after all, they are people around the Son of Heaven, and it is more convenient to speak and do things."
Good guy, and self-promotion.
But he wasn't wrong at all.
The Son of Heaven is close to the minister, it is more convenient to speak and do things, otherwise the position of the servant will not be so sought-after.
Zuo Feng probably had the idea of befriending Guo Peng, Guo Peng felt that this was not a bad thing, so he nodded, and then watched Zuo Feng leave.
On the way back, Zuo Feng's little attendant curiously asked about what had just happened, and was quite surprised when he learned about it.
"Instead of saying good things, you ask for rebuke? Is Guo Peng stupid? ”
"It's you who is stupid!"
Zuo Feng glared at the little follower: "Shut your mouth when you go back, don't talk about this matter to anyone, otherwise be careful of your skin!" ”
The little attendant was startled and didn't dare to speak.
After a while, Zuo Feng said with a sigh: "Guo Peng, Guo Zifeng, not an ordinary person, I went out to do errands, and I have met a lot of people, but I have never seen a person like Guo Zifeng, Lu Zhi's disciple, Cao's son-in-law, I don't know where I can go in the future......
The little follower didn't quite understand what Zuo Feng's words meant, but he almost understood that this person named Guo Peng was not easy to mess with, and he had to be cautious when he saw him in the future.
After Zuo Feng returned to Luoyang, he went straight to Emperor Ling to report what he had seen and heard.
Using his lip service, he successfully got Emperor Ling to issue an order to reprimand Lu Zhi for his slow action, and asked Lu Zhi to understand the difficulty of the imperial court in supplying food and salaries for the army, and speed up the speed to break through Zhang Jiao and solve the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Then Emperor Ling thought of what Zuo Feng said about Zhang Jiao's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and felt that it might indeed be a little difficult for Lu Zhi to deal with it alone, so he thought about it and decided to send an additional general to support Lu Zhi, so as to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion as soon as possible.
Generally speaking, Kansai is a general, Kanto is a minister, this is the norm in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Kanto because of the long years of peace and the decline of the force, but Kansai because of the Han and Hu mixed residence and the people are strong.
In the Han-Qiang War, in order to curb the local forces in Liangzhou, the Eastern Han Dynasty did not use the Liangzhou locals to suppress the rebellion, but the Kwantung soldiers were not familiar with the terrain and lacked training to use the armed forces, and were repeatedly defeated.
The result is gratifying, the established Liangzhou Corps has strong combat strength, excellent generals have produced many people, won the century-old Hanqiang War, and the famous Liangzhou Sanming has almost become a representative military general in the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty.
However, under the national policy of emphasizing literature over military force, the warriors of Liangzhou generally did not end well.
None of the Liangzhou Sanming had a good end, so the relationship between the local forces in Liangzhou and the Luoyang court was quite bad, and Liangzhou's trust in the central government was very low, especially after Duan Cheng's death.
Sanming's miserable fate warned all the powerful generals from Liangzhou, so that they would be cautious about the central court from now on, and always doubt the intentions of the court.
Especially when the imperial court wants to deprive the military of its rights, it is even more necessary to keep its eyes open, and never be confused by the promise of a temporary official position.
This is a huge hidden danger.
However, it is an indisputable fact that the Kwantung people were not good at war due to their long-term peaceful life, and the Eastern Han court had to rely on the Kwansai warriors during wartime.
It seems that at this time, the suitable person selected by the Eastern Han Dynasty to support Lu Zhi was still a martial artist from Western Liang, Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying.
Dong Zhuo was born in Yingchuan, because his father was a small official in Yingchuan at that time, and after growing up a little, Dong Zhuo returned to his hometown in Liangzhou with his father who left his job and began his heroic journey.
This is also the consistent style of the children of powerful families in the late Han Dynasty, especially in Liangzhou, where Han and Hu live together, the weak are inseparable, and only the strong and bold and righteous can be mixed with fame.
Dong Zhuo relied on his strong and bold style of preaching righteousness, not only among the large Han families, but also among the Qiang tribes, and many people were willing to follow him and do his subordinates.
Therefore, Dong Zhuo's troops not only include Han Chinese, but also Qiang people and other ethnic groups, and they are a strong mixed army.
After Dong Zhuo became an adult, he was recruited as an official by the Liangzhou Assassin History, and when he encountered the Huns, he led the troops to break the Huns, beheaded more than 1,000 people, and made great contributions, and became a member of the Liangzhou Warrior Group.
Later, the rebellion of the Qiang and Xianbei people broke out again in Liangzhou, Dong Zhuo served as Zhang Huan's military commander, quelled the rebellion together, accumulated military exploits, and successively served as the official position of Yizhou in Bingzhou, but later committed a crime, and it is estimated that he was implicated by Dong Zhuo's boss Zhang Huan at that time and was dismissed.
Receiving such a blow, Dong Zhuo gradually became shrewd, and was recommended by Duan Cheng to enter the public mansion through the relationship between Duan Cheng, who was also from Liangzhou, and then was recruited as an official by Situ Yuan Kui at that time, and became a member of the huge group of Yuan's former officials.
Later, Dong Zhuo became Emperor Huan's Yulin Lang, and rose step by step, with the help of this experience, Dong Zhuo began to learn to use his own advantages to avoid risks, earn benefits, and fight wits and courage with the Eastern Han government, which suppressed the warriors.
At this time, Dong Zhuo's position was Hedong Taishou.
Hedong is not far from Luoyang, and Dong Zhuo has Liangzhou soldiers and horses who can fight well, so under the recommendation of the eunuchs, the imperial court decided to recruit Dong Zhuo as Lu Zhi's deputy, obey Lu Zhi's dispatch, and crusade against Zhang Jiao together.
This order was sent to Lu Zhi six days later, and almost at the same time, this order was also sent to Dong Zhuo.
