Tai Shici hesitated for a while, but finally agreed: "If the general does not give up, I am willing to stay under the general's account." ”

Ouye, Zhang Hao couldn't help but want to cheer, this is the first famous general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty under his account.

"I have Ziyi to help me, it's like a tiger with wings. I've just seen it all, with Ziyi's three victories, a mere military Sima is too condescending for Ziyi, so I will make you a cavalry general. ”

Tai Shici refused: "General, not all of your subordinates won, and they were defeated under General Zheng in the end." ”

"How can he count if he is a partial general."

"Defeat is defeat, there is nothing to justify, and please ask the general to take back his life."

Zhang Hao saw Tai Shici's strict self-discipline, and praised his character in his heart, worthy of being a famous general. "Since this is the case, then I will be reappointed as the lieutenant under the account, and I will be promoted again after meritorious service in the future."

"General Xie" Tai Shici finally accepted.

"I am very happy to meet Ziyi today. Go and notify others to come to my house, and I will wash the dust for Ziyi. Zhang Hao instructed the guards behind him.

"No."

Zhang Hao pulled Tai Shici and walked back, and when he passed by Zheng Meng, he suddenly snorted coldly: "I told my uncle about you, and he agreed to your marriage." ”

"Really." Zheng Meng jumped up excitedly, "Thank you, brother, I know that brother is the best for me." ”

"When you're done with the feast, I'll go back and think about it!"

"No." Zheng Meng was instantly depressed, but soon became excited again.

He ran to Tai Shici's side and walked side by side with him: "I will call you Ziyi in the future, you can just call me Zheng Meng." Speaking of which, you're amazing, it's been a long time since I've met someone as powerful as you. ”

Tai Shi Ci smiled bitterly: "Hehe, compared with Brother Zheng, I am still a lot inferior." ”

"I'm older than you." Zheng Meng looked like he should have been, "I just said that you are also very good at archery, why don't we find a chance to try again?" ”

"I can't ask for it." Tai Shi Ci is indispensable, compared to cavalry warfare, riding and archery is his strength.

In the evening, a banquet was held in Zhang's house.

Zhang Hao raised his wine glass and said to Tai Shici: "Ziyi, now Pingzhou is still very poor, there is nothing to entertain, don't mind." ”

Tai Shi Ci looked at the milk wine and beef and mutton in front of him, and couldn't help but think in his heart: Forget about mutton, this beef is not something that anyone can afford to eat. "The general said with a smile, and the last general saluted the general."

In other places, cattle are more precious than people, and it is a crime to kill an ox, and you have to pay for your life. However, this is Liaodong, and the most important thing is cattle and sheep.

Now there are more than 100,000 cattle and sheep in Liaodong, which has reached the original intention of circulating reproduction and selling for profit in Zhang Hao's heart. Now he wants to breed beef cattle that specialize in meat.

Yan Zhong also toasted Tai Shici and said, "Does Ziyi have a place to live now?" ”

"I arrived in Xiangping yesterday, and I haven't decided on a place to stay, so I'm temporarily staying at the Far Away Inn."

"Oh, the shopkeeper is an acquaintance of mine, and I gave the inn its name."

Zhang Hao felt that he was negligent: "How can I do this without a place to live, I will choose a mansion for Ziyi tomorrow and give it to Ziyi." ”

Tai Shici hurriedly refused: "How can this be done, it will be useless, I will live in the barracks for the time being." ”

Yan Zhong said: "Ziyi really has the style of a general, the general might as well obey Ziyi's wishes." ”

Zhang Hao thought, this kind of thing is difficult for strong people to be beautiful after all, if you are sincerely loyal, it is the same without these mundane things: "Okay, but it's better to rest in my house tonight." ”

……

The next day, Zhang Hao personally accompanied Tai Shici back to the inn to pick up things, and then met Jia Xu who came back from the street.

"Oh, it's Brother Shi, what was the result of going to the school to join the army yesterday?" Jia Xu greeted with a smile.

"Naturally, it was a success, and I was personally appointed by the general as a lieutenant." Tai Shi Ci said slightly apologetically, "Brother Xi, I'm sorry, I deceived you before, I don't have the surname Shi but the surname Taishi, Tai Shi Ci Ziyi." ”

"I don't know your real name, but I guessed you were using a pseudonym. It doesn't matter, I don't mind. ”

Tai Shici suddenly remembered something, hurriedly stood behind Zhang Hao, and said to Jia Xu: "I forgot to introduce it, this is General Pingbei." ”

He stretched out his right hand to Jia Xu and said to Zhang Hao: "This is Mr. Xiyu who instructed me to join the army." ”

Zhang Hao Shili said: "I have seen Mr. Xiyu. Thank you, Mr. for recommending Ziyi for me, so that I am fortunate to be a general. ”

Jia Xu also looked at Zhang Hao: "Meet the general." This is a demonstration of Ziyi's own skills, not my recommendation. ”

At this time, another person walked in outside, it was Yan Zhong. He said as he walked: "General, the news just came that the general of the Che Cavalry is in Liangzhou...... Wenhe! Why are you here? ”

Before Yan Zhong finished speaking, he saw Jia Xu who was about to turn around and leave. Jia Xu saw that Yan Zhong recognized him, so he had no choice but to reply, "Big brother, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

When Zhang Hao heard this name, he was immediately shocked, the Mr. Xiyu in front of him turned out to be Jia Xu, and this surprise came quite suddenly.

Jia Xu said to Tai Shici: "I'm sorry, I also reported a fake name before, in fact, my surname is Jia Mingxu Wenhe." ”

Tai Shici doesn't mind, who won't change his name when he's out and about, "It's normal, but Mr. Wenhe and Yan Zhizhong know each other, which is quite surprising to me." ”

"I am a fellow villager with Wenhe." Yan Zhong stepped forward and said, "Wenhe, didn't you say that you didn't come out at home, why didn't you come to Xiangping thousands of miles away?" Say, how long have you been here? ”

Jia Xu looked at Yan Zhong's smiling expression and pursed his lips: "I went out this time to observe the suffering of the people, and Xiangping is the end of this trip, and I didn't come here on purpose." I've lived in Xiangping for more than half a month, and it's time to go back. ”

Zhang Hao is in a hurry, what can he do when he goes back, this kind of top-level strategist slipped away from his hands, I am afraid that he will regret it for the rest of his life.

Zhang Hao just wanted to say something to stay, but Yan Zhong did say with a smile: "I'm afraid Wenhe won't be able to go back." ”

"Brother, is he trying to force me to stay?" As he spoke, Jia Xu quietly glanced at Zhang Hao.

"No, no, no, it's not that I'm going to stop you, it's the rebels in Liangzhou who are stopping you. I just got the news that Zhang Wenping, the general of the chariot cavalry, had failed in the rebellion and had been dismissed, and now the whole of Liangzhou had fallen into the hands of the rebels. They cut off all the passages, so you can't go back now. ”

In the face of this news, Zhang Hao was not surprised, because of this rebellion in history, it was because of this rebellion that could not be quelled for a long time, and the imperial court planned to abandon the land of Liangzhou.

"This army is in chaos, if Mr. Wenhe goes back, it will be too dangerous, why don't you stay first, and then talk about it after the rebellion has subsided?"

Jia Xu thought about it for a while, in fact, he was going to see if Zhang Hao was worthy of his allegiance, but what he said just now was just a pretext. And now I can't go back, so it's better to let it flow and stay first.

"In this case, I'll go to my brother's place for a while."

Seeing that Jia Xu agreed, Zhang Hao was temporarily relieved, as long as the person was still there, sooner or later he would stay and become his own.

……

"In this rebellion, almost all of the troops of Zhang Wen, the general of the Che Cavalry, were damaged, and only Dong Zhuo's entire army was returned, so Dong Zhuo was named the Marquis of the Township and had a thousand households." The Spirit Emperor of the Great Hall announced his decision.

Then he said anxiously: "At present, the rebels have begun to loot in the area around Chang'an, and they are about to reach Chencang. Ladies and gentlemen, think of a way. ”

Shangshu Lu Zhi stood up first and said: "Your Majesty, at such a critical moment, only General Huangfu can solve it, and the minister recommended Huangfu Song as the general to guard Chen Cang." ”

Emperor Ling looked around at the ministers and saw that no one objected, although he was unwilling, but the court agreed to Lu Zhi's suggestion: "In this way, I will worship Huangfu Song as General Zuo to lead 20,000 troops, guard Chencang, and defend Xijing." ”

Later, he felt that Dong Zhuo could return with the whole army this time, and he was still able to lead some troops, so he added: "I will order Dong Zhuo as a deputy general again, and lead the troops to assist Huangfu Song." ”

Huangfu Song, who was originally stationed in Chang'an, and Dong Zhuo's family, who returned to Chang'an to recuperate, received the edict together.

As a loyal minister, Huangfu Song naturally accepted the edict without any hesitation.

But Dong Zhuo is still resentful of being under the emperor Fu Song, and he is still resentful of Huang Fu Song's small report to the emperor when he was in the yellow scarf. But he accepted it.

Huangfu Song led an army of 20,000, plus Dong Zhuo also had 20,000 horses, a total of 40,000 people, and came to Chencang in a mighty way. Not long after they arrived, the rebels surrounded Chencang.

Dong Zhuo saw this situation, so he suggested to Huangfu Song: "General, the rebels have not yet gained a stable foothold, so it is better to immediately send troops to attack and defeat the rebels to relieve the siege of Chencang." ”

Huangfu Song didn't listen to Dong Zhuo's words, but looked at the endless rebels outside the city and said: "General Dong, please look, these rebels outside the city, the army formation is neat and orderly, it is when the morale is strong, how can it be an unstable foothold?" ”

"But if you don't take the initiative to attack, win a battle first to boost the morale of our army, and frustrate the rebels' spirit, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to resist the rebels' offensive with Chen Cang."

"General Dong rest assured that Chen Cang is strong and will not be easily breached. As long as we hold on to Chencang, wait for the rebels to attack for a long time and their morale is exhausted, we will attack again, and we can do our best in one battle. ”

As it turned out, Huangfu Song was right. The rebels spent more than 80 days outside Chen Cang, and Chen Cang still stood in front of them, standing still.

These more than 80 days of strong attack have completely deprived the rebels who have been invincible since entering Guanzhong. Since it was unprofitable to spend any more time here, the rebels retreated.

Seeing that the rebels outside the city were about to retreat, Huangfu Song immediately ordered the army to assemble and prepare for pursuit.

At this time, Dong Zhuo said again: "General, the so-called poor don't chase, if you pursue the rebels, so that the rebels can't return, when the rebels fight to the death, how can we resist." ”

Huangfu Song retorted again: "The current rebels are not returning to the division, but a group of defeated soldiers who have lost their fighting spirit. Since General Dong had concerns, for the sake of insurance, he stayed in the city, and I personally led my troops and horses to pursue him. ”

This time Huangfu Song was right again, the rebels had lost their fighting spirit, and under the pursuit of the Han army, the rebels scattered and fled, unable to make any effective resistance.

In the end, Huangfu Song beheaded more than 10,000 people and won a big victory. But this attracted Dong Zhuo's jealousy.

"This Emperor Fu Yizhen is always against me, Ping Huang Turban is like this, Ping Qiang Chao is still like this, if one day I gain power, I will definitely make him look good."

After the report of this battle was transmitted back to the imperial court, Emperor Ling was greatly relieved, although Liangzhou had been eroded, but at least it was safe for a long time.

If Chang'an is lost, and the imperial tombs of those ancestors are destroyed by the rebels, then he will really have no shame to face his ancestors and ancestors. And it will also bring a bad message to the world, which will eventually lead to an even greater rebellion.

The emperor was happy, and the reward naturally came down: "Order the Emperor Fu Song to reinstate his post, and appoint Dong Zhuo as the state pastor, and his troops and horses will be led by Huang Fu Song." ”

It's just that as soon as this edict was issued, Dong Zhuo directly resisted and disobeyed the decree.
