Chapter Thirty-Eight: Plan Ahead
The next day, at dawn, Zhang Feng took care of his clothes early and took Zhou Cang to the post house, people can be arrogant, but there must be a degree, the size of this degree, Zhang Feng still has self-knowledge.
If the eunuch who came to proclaim the decree was not Guo Sheng, he would not have been so willful last night.
"Father-in-law, don't come unharmed!"
Zhang Feng arched his hand.
Guo Sheng glanced at Zhang Feng and said, "It's actually here, just accept the order!" ”
Now Zhang Feng is beginning to be disgusted with this holy decree, and he doesn't say anything about it, no matter whether it's good or bad, he has to be grateful.
Guo Sheng read it aloud in a chattering voice, to the effect that Zhang Feng had meritorious service in begging for thieves, a reward of 1,000 taels, 500 horses of silk, and Keri went to Shuofang County.
Zhang Feng felt a cluster in his heart, it seems that He Jin is extremely uneasy about himself, this is what he means to expel himself?
"General, there is something else for me to bring to Your Majesty!"
Zhang Feng spread his hands, shook his head and said, "No, nothing!" ”
Guo Sheng sneered: "The general blames our family for not helping you speak, and you are resentful?" ”
"How dare the last general disobey the emperor's orders!"
Guo Sheng said with a straight face: "That's right, you can go to Shuofang for a while, and sooner or later there will be a holy decree." ”
Oh?
Could it be that there are variables in this matter, Zhang Feng hurriedly smiled and said, "What did my father-in-law hear?" ”
Guo Sheng said proudly: "Your Majesty is preparing to set up a new lieutenant camp, and you are a good candidate." ”
Lieutenant Battalion?
Could it be the legendary Eighth Captain of the West Garden, Liu Hong is now going to divide He Jin's military power?
"Please also ask your father-in-law to speak clearly!"
"Your Majesty intends to open the Eighth Captain of the West Garden and take charge of Luoyang, this is a fat shortage, I am afraid that when the time comes, those children of the powerful will also want to squeeze in."
The eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan is indeed a good position, but for Zhang Feng, it is just useless.
He wanted the sky, not the golden wire cage in Luoyang.
"I see, such an important position, Your Majesty must have someone you like."
Guo Sheng swore and said: "At present, there are several people who have confirmed, including Yuan Shao, the general of the Tiger Ben, Bao Hong, the captain of the Tun Cavalry, and Cao Cao. ”
History is still a rehearsal after all, but it is in advance, and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are masterpieces who begin to show their edge.
"It's really well deserved, father-in-law, there is a reluctant request below, and I hope that my father-in-law will fulfill it."
Guo Sheng pretended to be and said: "You talk about it first, let's see if our family has this ability." ”
Zhang Feng replied: "I heard that there are 10,000 good horses in Youzhou Horse Farm, and I dare to ask my father-in-law to say a few good words for me, I want Your Majesty to reward me with 2,000 horses." ”
Guo Sheng thought that Zhang Feng was asking for an official! I didn't expect it to be for the horses, but two thousand war horses is not a small amount.
"It's a bit tricky, but ......"
A good thief, and he wanted to reap the benefits, Zhang Feng hurriedly took out two glass marbles from his sleeves, and said with a smile: "It's a little meaning, it's not a tribute!" ”
There is a ribbon floating in these two glass marbles, which are colorful, which is even more beautiful than the two that were given to Zuo Feng last time.
"This is the Holy Pearl?"
Guo Sheng exclaimed.
The last time the Jizhou military camp announced the decree, he wanted to come, but Zuo Feng took the lead, watching Zuo Feng boast that he had inadvertently obtained two holy beads, his eyes were red, and he concluded that it was Zhang Feng who bribed, and he was often annoyed.
So this time, Guo Sheng gave Zhang Rang, the "divine fire" he had loved for a long time, and then he seized this opportunity.
The reason why Guo Sheng was willing to dedicate the "divine fire" to Zhang Rang was that he remembered that Zhang Feng once said that if the liquid in it could not be shaken, it would not ignite the fire, and the lighter was released by Zhang Feng for more than half of the gas, and it was rare by Guo Sheng for a few months, and only the last bit of liquid remained, so he would reluctantly cut his love.
After Zhang Rang got the lighter, he couldn't close his mouth happily, and listened to Guo Sheng's boasting, and he couldn't put it down, and he carried it with him all the time.
Zhang Feng replied: "Yes, these two are the best of the holy pearls, you see the floating ribbons inside, colorful and rounded and smooth. ”
Guo Sheng was not polite at all, and hid the glass bullet jewel like a pimple, and then said with a smile: "This matter is wrapped up in our family, you just have to wait for the good news." ”
"In addition, I will take the six thousand soldiers under my command with me, and I hope that my father-in-law will go back to Shengming!"
"Six thousand?"
Guo Sheng exclaimed, and looked at Zhang Feng again, Zhang Feng's heart was numb, and few people could stand the color of Mimi's eyes.
"Father-in-law, I brought this holy pearl back from the Western Regions, it's gone, it's really gone."
Guo Sheng smiled and said: "Come on, our family didn't say anything, it's okay for you to take this person away, Chen Liutaishou is your old man, presumably he won't stop it, where is Your Majesty, I will show that the general is going to Shuofang, the road is far away, and I hope to cherish it." ”
"Grandpa Xie cares."
After getting the "Holy Pearl", where can Guo Sheng stay, what do you want about this sour date, and go back overnight, before leaving, he repeatedly told Zhang Feng that he must go to Shuofang as soon as possible, otherwise the relatives headed by He Jin will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble.
Zhang Feng's mansion.
Zhang Feng invited Li Tao, Dian Wei, and Zhao Yun over to discuss the matter of sending troops to Shuofang.
"Strategist, it seems that we are already a thorn in the side of others, and we don't want to stay longer for a moment!"
There are no outsiders on the left and right, and Li Tao said bluntly: "Isn't this exactly what the lord wants!" ”
Zhang Feng nodded and said: "Yes, the good man is determined in all directions, now that the Yellow Turban Rebellion has been decided, there is no place for the Central Plains, I want to learn from Huo Hussar, gallop the desert, and make contributions." ”
Zhao Yun's eyes lit up, and his lifelong wish was to straddle the horse into battle, expel the barbarians, and defend the country.
"Before leaving, there are several major events that require the three of them to act separately."
"Please command, my lord!"
Zhang Feng replied: "Some time ago, I asked Xiuning to recruit craftsmen and cultivate artists, presumably it has already been scaled, and the military advisor began to arrange for horseshoes and horseshoes, the more the better." ”
"No!"
"Zilong started to prepare grain and grass, remember, it is the grain and grass of 6,000 people, and I must take Xiuning's 3,000 righteous army away, these people are all good seedlings, and they will be of great use in the future."
"The last general commands!"
"Dian Wei, you are responsible for sharing the reward with the silver, taking out the money in the treasury and the reward given by His Majesty this time, and giving an extra share to those who have families, so as to avoid their worries."
"I remember clearly."
The arrangement was decided, and the three of them said goodbye and went their separate ways.
Zhang Feng invited Huo Lei over again, and said with a serious face: "Huo Lei, do you remember what I said before?" ”
"The young master said too much, I can't remember......"
"You have a flexible mind, and you can speak well, you are really a good businessman, I am ready to let you stay in Chenliu and secretly do business for me, are you willing?"
Huo Lei's eyes flickered, and he complained bitterly: "Young Master, are you really going to want me?" ”
"I'm entrusting you with a heavy responsibility, we are helpless, and we need a lot of materials, so I need stable backup supplies, and you are the best candidate."
Zhang Feng said so heavily that although Huo Lei felt uncomfortable, he could only nod his head in agreement.
Zhang Feng took out a small wooden box, opened it and said: "There are six beads in it, which I got by accident, each bead is worth a fortune, you sell it for me, as for how much it can be exchanged, it all depends on your ability." ”
Horay took the wooden box and carefully picked up a bead, only to see that there was a dragon inside, vivid, and stunned.
"Young Master, this ......"
Zhang Feng looked at Huo Lei's surprised look, and said with a smile: "Each of these beads, the image inside is different, you estimate the price yourself, I will send someone to bring you other treasures in the future, you sell them for me, and then use the money in your hand to establish contact points in various places, remember, you must choose trustworthy people, you can't spoil a pot of rice with mouse." ”
"I remember, young master, when will we see each other?"
"Maybe three or five months, maybe three or five years, you can't let me down."
