Chapter 54: The Emperor Dies
When Xi Zhicai, Xu Xuan, Zhang Fei and others heard this, they glanced at each other, and they could all find the surprise in each other's eyes, but they didn't expect Gao Cheng and Chen Zhi to have seen each other before.
Chen Zhi was slightly surprised and asked, "When the Yellow Turban Incident occurred, the envoy was also in Yingchuan County?"
Gao Cheng smiled: "Yes, I was going to study at Yingchuan Academy, but I was unexpectedly coerced by the Yellow Turban soldiers, and my cultivation was still shallow at that time, and I was almost killed on the battlefield." I remember the first time I met Shu Zhi was under the town of Yiyang County. ”
"Uncle Zhi's night attack, killed Qu Shuai Peng Fei, and broke tens of thousands of troops with his own strength, which can really be described as the three armies of the brave crown. And then he pleaded with the Yiyang County Commander for the people who were coerced, this is a great benevolence!"
Gao Cheng continued to praise and exaggerated Chen Zhi as a famous general of the three armies of great benevolence, righteousness and bravery.
When Zhang Fei heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Gao Cheng, and sighed in his heart, he didn't expect that when the envoy was in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he would have the experience of being coerced into the anti-thief army.
At that time, he should have followed his eldest brother to kill many Yellow Turban soldiers, and made a lot of contributions.
There is really no comparison between people and people, and their three brothers have made so many contributions, and finally got the position of a county lieutenant and were dismissed. And Gao Cheng has been coerced until now, but he has secured the position of Lujiang Taishou. There is even the possibility of going further.
Zhang Fei secretly felt unfair to his eldest brother in his heart, and if Gao Cheng knew his thoughts, he could only hehe. The reason why he became the Taishou of Lujiang was because he rushed 70 million dollars. Liu Bei didn't give the emperor any money just because of his merits, and he still wanted to become a taishou?
At this time, Gao Cheng is no longer taboo to mention his experience in the Yellow Turban Army, if he is the head of an ordinary family, he is just a small county lieutenant, and it is known that he has fought in the Yellow Turban Army, and he has also practiced the exercises of the Taiping Dao, and the end is worrying.
And now he is a county guard, an official with a rank of 2,000 stones, and he has an army of 200,000 or 300,000 in his hands. The power and power are strong, and in this case, if you talk about the things that have been coerced before, others will only sigh that it is difficult for him to start a business, which makes his reputation even greater. Definitely wouldn't think he was in collusion with the Yellow Turban.
Chen Zhi also recalled the scene a few years ago, and couldn't help but sigh. At the beginning, he abandoned his official position and left, wandered in the Central Plains for a long time, and finally returned to his hometown Runan County. At this time, he heard that Lujiang Taishou collected a large number of displaced people in Runan, and raised the people in Tuntian, and there were countless living people.
Many of the villagers in his hometown have migrated to Lujiang County, so Chen Zhi has a great impression of Lujiang Taishou in his heart.
When Jiang Qin led the navy to the Huai River to collect the displaced people, he also mixed in with the displaced people and came to the Lujiang River, and by chance, he became a member of the Lujiang County Army.
At the time of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Chen Zhi was already a warrior in the transcendent realm, and after a few years of tempering, his strength was stronger, and such an ability could emerge no matter where he was.
These days, he has been promoted by virtue of his merits in training troops and exterminating small groups of mountain barbarians, and now he has become one of the top ten lieutenants in the army of 100,000, with 3,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and his subordinates are the most elite in this large battalion, and everyone can be one as ten.
"In history, Chen Zhi was Liu Bei's personal commander and was in charge of the most elite white-eared elite soldiers. I was worried that if Zhang Fei left, no one would be able to lead the army to fight against the mountain barbarians, but I didn't expect that luck would be unstoppable, and Chen Zhi would sit in Longshu County and implement the strategy of Xi Zhicai, as long as the time is enough, the mountain barbarians can be completely solved!"
Gao Cheng was excited in his heart, after Chen became the captain of Lujiang County, as long as he didn't do anything angry and resentful, the other party would not leave easily.
The two talked for a while, and Gao Cheng directly appointed Chen Zhi as the deputy general of the army, and his status was only below Zhang Fei. With the merit of training the army, everyone thought that Chen Zhi should be promoted to the deputy general of the army. Admired for his abilities.
Just when everyone was watching the army below rehearse the military formation, a knight rode a horse and galloped in the direction of the barracks, and the knight carried a command flag, which was a herald from Shu County.
"Qi Yu Taishou, this is the urgent information sent by Gong Cao, please take a look at it!" The herald was taken to the point general's stage, quickly knelt down, and took out a sealed iron ball from his arms.
Gao Cheng's expression moved slightly, and as soon as his right hand was raised, the iron ball in the hand of the knight below immediately flew up and fell into the palm of his hand. With a click, the iron ball shattered, revealing the silk within.
After Gao Cheng came to Guangling with Mi Fang and Mi Huan, the relationship between Lujiang and Mi was better, and what happened in various parts of the world could soon be transmitted to Lujiang through Mi's information channel. This thousand-mile urgent information is the important information that the Mi clan sent through the caravan.
Opening the silk silk, Gao Cheng glanced at ten lines, and after reading the information above, he casually handed the silk silk to Xi Zhicai and Xu Xuan.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty has died?"
"Your Majesty died, Luoyang was in turmoil, the general summoned the soldiers and horses from Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou and Hedong to enter Beijing, and wanted to eradicate the eunuchs, how could this be, whose strategy was this?"
After Xi Zhicai and Xu Xuan saw the information on the silk, their expressions changed greatly, especially Xi Zhicai, when he saw the news that the general had summoned troops and horses to enter Beijing, his expression was extremely complicated. Foreign soldiers enter Beijing, this is to make the world chaotic!
Zhang Fei, Chen Dao, Pei Yuanshao and others couldn't control their expressions, the death of the emperor was a major event at any time, and it could affect the general trend of the world.
Gao Cheng was already prepared in his heart, and after seeing this information, he was not too shocked, but said in a deep voice: "The army will return to the camp, and everyone will return to Shu County with me to discuss matters!"
......
Shu County, government hall. Gao Cheng knelt and sat on the head, and a group of civil and military officers knelt on both sides, led by Gong Cao Zhang Zhao, military advisor Xi Zhicai, chief bookkeeper Liu Bei, post supervisor Chen Jiao, Long Shuling and Tuntian captain Xu Xuan. On the right are Commander Gao Tai, Governor Lu Dai of the Navy Army, General Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Chen Dao, Zhou Cang, and Pei Yuanshao.
Gao Cheng now has a team that is not weak, and he is not weak at all compared to Cao Cao before he rose.
"Gentlemen, you must have already known the news from Zizhong! Now that Your Majesty has died, foreign troops have entered Beijing, the Han Dynasty has never had a precedent for foreign troops to enter the imperial city for hundreds of years, the world is going to be in chaos, I invite you to come today, I want to discuss, how should we deal with this situation in Lujiang!"
Liu Bei knelt down and sat down, without the slightest expression on his face, only from his eyes he could feel the pain in his heart.
His ambition is to revitalize the Dahan community, and when he hears that the Dahan country is going to be chaotic, he must be in a bad mood.
