The little eunuch woke up, and the first thing he did was to touch his neck to confirm that he was still alive.

"Phew, it seems that this is not a dream, I really am not dead. Ouch, it hurts, it hurts! ”

He happily stroked his forehead, but accidentally touched his own wound, and he cried out in pain.

"The angel is awake."

A very pleasant voice came to his ears, and the little eunuch turned his head to see a man in armor and a gentle appearance. He is Zhang Hao.

"The general is?"

"Don't you remember the lower official, the lower official is Zhang Hao, the county magistrate of Fang County, and you personally sent the edict for promotion at that time." Zhang Hao said to him with a smile.

When he first rescued the little eunuch, Zhang Hao only confirmed the identity of his messenger of the Son of Heaven through the scepter and the holy decree. But later, Wang He reminded Zhang Hao that this little eunuch was the one who came to Fang County three years ago to deliver the decree, and Zhang Hao suddenly had a flash of inspiration and felt that he could make good use of this.

The little eunuch looked at Zhang Hao with wide eyes, speaking of which, it was also three years ago, and he couldn't remember what Zhang Hao looked like for a long time.

How can I say that I have walked out of Luoyang over the years, traveled all over the world, and conveyed hundreds of wills, from the history of assassins, county guards, down to Confucianism, celebrities, all of them are famous people who move the world and enjoy a reputation. A little-known county order like Zhang Hao, where would he remember it.

But at this time, he remembered his task, which was to announce the edict to the man in front of him, thinking that this person would not be a small person in the future, and a look of sudden realization immediately appeared on his face.

"Oh oh, of course I remember, you are the county magistrate of Fang County, Lord Zhang Haozhang. Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for saving your life. ”

Zhang Hao waved his hand: "It's just a matter of raising your hands." Yesterday I happened to be fighting the thieves here, and my subordinates came to the news that the thieves were chasing a carriage, so I personally led a team of cavalry to the rescue and saved the angels. This can only say that angels make the blessed people not die. ”

When the little eunuch heard this, he was also very useful, and his face appeared with joy, and everyone liked others to praise him.

As the eunuchs lost a physical part, they also lost their self-esteem mentally, becoming inferior and sensitive.

And the little eunuch felt the sincerity and kindness that Zhang Hao expressed to him when he spoke, which made him feel very comfortable.

Few officials do not have that attitude of contempt and disgust, but rather greet themselves as if they were talking to friends. Thinking that this Zhang Hao is also from the scholar clan, but he is completely different from others.

"Lord Zhang just said that he was fighting the thief army here? I don't know if this is ...... win or lose" Halfway through his words, the little eunuch didn't say anything, looking at the situation in front of him, he naturally won, otherwise he wouldn't have time to come over to save himself.

"It was I who won by luck, broke an army of 20,000 thieves, killed 5,000, captured 15,000, and now they are all in the camp ten miles away."

Although Zhang Hao was a little embarrassed to say this, in the eyes of the little eunuch, this was a full show-off, which made the little eunuch stunned, a big victory was so insignificant in his eyes, and the modesty was excessive.

The little eunuch smiled at Zhang Hao and arched his hand: "In this way, Lord Zhang should be added to the knighthood in the near future, and I am here to congratulate Lord Zhang now." ”

"Where is it, the angel has a good reputation, and the addition of officials to the knighthood is secondary, and the most important thing is to share the worries of the Son of Heaven and eliminate thieves for the people."

After speaking, Zhang Hao seemed to remember something, and asked: "Dare to ask the angel from afar, what is the so-called matter, if it is inconvenient, it doesn't matter, I will send troops to escort the angel." ”

The little eunuch was reminded by Zhang Haoyi, and pretended to wake up: "If it weren't for Lord Zhang's reminder, I almost missed a big thing, this matter is related to Lord Zhang, how can I say anything bad." Hehehe, I came here to announce the edict to you. Because the adults were brave and good at fighting, they won the first victory, and the Son of Heaven was happy and issued an order to reward the adults. ”

Zhang Hao raised his eyebrows and said happily: "That is the case, it is inconvenient here, and I ask the angel to follow me back to the barracks and read the edict in front of all the soldiers." ”

"As it should be."

Zhang Hao ordered someone to straighten the carriage again, the quality of this royal thing is really good, it overturned and slid out so far, it didn't cause much damage, and it can still be used.

Several of his subordinates took the Yellow Turban soldiers alive and planned to bring them back as prisoners.

Who knew that when the little eunuch saw a few of them, he was immediately furious, and his eyes became red. It hadn't been long since it happened, and he remembered the humiliation they had humiliated him.

He snatched the saber directly from Zhang Hao's hand and walked towards the captive. Zheng Meng wanted to stop him, but Zhang Hao stopped him, shook his head, and signaled not to care.

With a bang, he pulled out his sword, and the little eunuch pointed his sword at a captive and stabbed it directly. Ignoring the terrible screams of the captives, he stabbed him more than a dozen times, and said while stabbing: "Let you look down on me, let me die!" Die! Die! ”、

Until he died of exhaustion, the little eunuch moved on to the next one.

Zhang Hao couldn't bear to look at him directly, turned his head, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: fortunately, he had seen him twice, and his attitude was very friendly each time, otherwise if he offended a little, he would not be able to kill himself personally, and he would kill himself if he borrowed a knife to kill.

Eunuchs, especially eunuchs who are quite trusted by the emperor, cannot be offended, and once they are offended, it will either be you die or I will die, and I will not die.

In the end, these prisoners who had insulted him were killed by his own hands one by one. The little eunuch showed an embarrassed look and returned the blood-stained sword to Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao didn't have any scruples and took it directly.

Looking at his bloodstained and embarrassed appearance, Zhang Hao said: "Now the appearance of an angel is not suitable for reading the edict. When you get to the barracks later, you will take a shower and change your clothes first, you and I are of similar shape, and you should be able to wear my clothes. ”

When the little eunuch heard this, he felt very comfortable, no one had ever said this to himself, this Zhang Hao respected himself from the bottom of his heart.

His favorability towards Zhang Hao increased instantly, if he knew each other before, then he is a friend now.

"What the adults say is very true, I will obey the arrangements of the adults."

……

"Fang County Commander Zhang Hao, meritorious in fighting thieves, sealing the Cang Tinghou, eating two hundred households, hereditary replacement, giving a sword and five hundred gold. The officers and men of the whole army also have awards, and Wangqing and others will live up to their loyalty and make new contributions. ”

In front of the desk, the little eunuch read the contents of the edict. In front of him, Zhang Hao and the soldiers of the whole army knelt down and listened.

When he finished reading, the soldiers of the whole army bowed to the edict again: "The ministers have thanked Your Majesty for your grace." ”

Then Zhang Hao respectfully received the edict from the hands of the little eunuch.

The little eunuch congratulated him, and there was still some apology in his expression: "Congratulations to the Hou Ye, Your Majesty still has an edict, and after quelling the rebellion, enter the Hajj to see you." At that time, with the military exploits of the marquis, the official will be added to the knighthood, and it will be just around the corner. ”

"Hehehe, where is it, please follow the angel with me." At this moment, Zhang Hao did not hide the joy in his heart.

Although Tinghou is the lowest level in the liehou, and the number of his food estates is only a pitiful two hundred, he is also a liehou. It can not only glorify the ancestors, but also pass it on to their children and grandchildren.

On the contrary, it is not a big deal to think that the sword and five hundred gold are not a big deal, and Zhang Hao is a little disdainful.

Father Zhang Zhen will happily take the imperial sword to the ancestral hall and enshrine it in front of the ancestral tablet, which is still a little useful.

But the five hundred gold is a bit less for Zhang Hao. The edict does not say that it is gold, so this gold means copper, that is, five hundred catties of copper, which is tens of thousands of dollars if it is counted as five baht, which is not enough for the money of a war horse.

No one would think that there was a lot of money, but except for the scepter, the edict, and the imperial sword, everything else was lost by the little eunuch, including the money given to Zhang Hao. Of course, it's only tens of thousands of dollars, and Zhang Hao won't take it to heart.

Zhang Hao brought the little eunuch into a camp tent, which contained a small box, a medium box, and a large box. He opened one of the small boxes, which were full of gold cakes.

These are all captured after defeating the Yellow Turban and Wuhuan people, and they no longer know who the original owner is, and Zhang Hao naturally will not return them.

"I heard the angel who drove the car say that you have traveled thousands of miles and worked hard from afar, but you have lost a lot of things on the way here. This is a little meaning for me to comfort the angels on behalf of the soldiers of the whole army, and I hope the angels will smile. ”

The little eunuch's eyes lit up, he took the box from Zhang Hao's hand and held it in his arms: "How embarrassing this is, but since it is the intention of the soldiers, then I will accept it." ”

He looked at the other two, guessing that they should also be belongings, and asked pretending to be confused, "What are these two?" ”

Zhang Hao explained with a smile: "Didn't the guards around the angel all be sacrificed, and it was not safe on the road, so I planned to send someone to escort the angel back to Beijing, and by the way, I would go to Beijing with these two boxes."

The older one was a gift for Zhang Changshi. The largest of them is the booty I have captured since my march, and its original owner can no longer be traced.

The court spent a lot of money to quell the rebellion, so I planned to hand over these goods to the national treasury to finance the army. ”

As soon as the little eunuch heard this, he dispelled the idea of moving the two boxes. This one is for his boss, and the other is for the emperor, so you can't punish the nine clans. He looked at the small box in his hand and thought to himself that it would be worth the trip.

"Lord Zhang is loyal and patriotic, and this move will definitely make His Majesty happy." The little eunuch boasted, "In this case, I will leave immediately, and I cannot live up to the hearts of loyal ministers and righteous people." ”

"Then there will be an angel of labor."

Zhang Hao shouted outside, "Go and call Tian Sima over." ”

Tian Jian walked in, and Zhang Hao introduced to the little eunuch: "This is the military Sima in my camp, named Tian Jian, he will lead five hundred knights to escort the angel back to Beijing." ”

Tian Jian bowed to the little eunuch: "Humble to meet the angel." ”

"Okay, good, hard work Tian Sima, then we will leave immediately" The little eunuch completed the task and took the benefits, but he didn't want to stay for a moment. After all, this is still a war zone, and I don't know when there will be a war and where the capital will be safe.

Looking at the dust raised by the horse's hooves when they went away, Zhang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, and made such a big deal of blood, just to propose that all these captives of the Yellow Turban Army be moved to the border counties to enrich the population.

This is a bribe of the emperor and his closest people, and he should agree.
