"Haha... I haven't seen you for many years, Brother Xuande is good! ”

"I've seen the champion!"

Xiang Ao, who was discussing with Xi Zhong in the tent, heard that Liu Bei was coming with the army, and abandoned his shoes to greet him, he wanted to see his brother who had not seen him for many years, but his friendship should not change, but he didn't want to touch his face. In the face of Xiang Ao's bold embrace, Liu Bei didn't answer.

"Huh! What does Brother Xuande mean at this time, we are like-minded brothers, why do we do this great gift? Xiang Ao said with a little anger.

"This preparation is the order of the general of Beizhonglang, go north and fight with the champion Hou, and attack Quyang." Liu Bei still bowed: "The ceremony cannot be abolished, the champion Hou is above the preparation, and he should salute!" ”

Xiang Ao took a deep look at Liu Bei, let go of the emotions in his heart, slightly straightened his clothes, hugged his fists and bowed his head slightly: "Since Brother Xuande came here for military affairs, would it be okay to ask Brother Xuande to camp next to our military tent and then talk about the old days?" ”

"Honorable Monarch Arrangement!" Liu Bei returned the salute and led the group behind him to leave to find a place and set up camp.

"Brother, the champion Hou is so bold and close, why is Ming Gong not accepting?" Zhang Fei is really puzzled, the champion Hou did not put on a fight, but treated him with pride, why did Xuan Deming Gong shirk it so much?

"Yide must not be rude, Ming Gong has his own arrangements, no need to ask!" Seeing Zhang Fei questioning Liu Bei, Guan Yu drank lightly, although he also had doubts in his heart, but he didn't ask much.

Zhang Fei pursed his lips, followed behind Liu Bei and Guan Yu a little behind, and didn't know what to mutter.

And the bitterness in Liu Bei's heart, how can Guan Yu and Zhang Fei understand? I still remember that when they got together in Luoyang, Xiang Ao and Liu Bei were both white, and Liu Bei had at least one Han clan name, but Xiang Ao had no background. It's only been a few years, and Xiang Ao is also a high-ranking general of the Imperial Guard, a champion Hou, and a leader in the Northern Regions. Liu Bei is still only white, and the identities of the two are very different.

Liu Bei kept asking himself on the way here, when he was young, he hoped to serve the Han family and reinvigorate the prestige of his ancestors. However, after several years, it is still mediocre, and Zhang Fei and Guan Yu have not been seen, and they are still selling straw shoes in Zhuo County. Compared with Xiang Ao, Liu Bei is extremely unfair to the heavens. However, the Yellow Turban Uprising, Liu Bei's mind began to liven, maybe the troubled times are the time when Liu Bei made his career.

Sitting and watching the world change, Liu Bei is becoming more and more The world at this time is the generation that Liu Bei should live in, heroes are born in troubled times, and Liu Bei's heart is also blazing and passionate. Seeing Xiang Ao today, Liu Bei was even more convinced. Liu Bei knew that if he made a request, Xiang Ao would definitely help him, but Liu Bei was a little proud in his heart, how could he succumb to others.

Xiang Ao returned to the tent, put on his shoes, and sat calmly next to him. Xi Zhong is also extremely indifferent, and it seems that he has never seen Xiang Ao's embarrassment. Jiao Meng, who was guarding on the side, was panting angrily, Xiang Ao was the person Jiao Meng had always admired, and in Jiao Meng's heart, Xiang Ao was the sky. Fang Cai Xiang Ao treated Liu Bei so politely, Liu Bei was not grateful, he didn't say anything, he ignored it!

However, seeing that Xiang Ao didn't say anything, Jiao Meng didn't dare to come privately, so he had to be secretly angry beside him.

"Jun Hou, Fang Cai is in front of the public, don't dare to lose the courtesy, if you offend Jun Hou, I hope Jun Hou understands!"

"Brother Xuande doesn't have to apologize, I can save it!" Although Liu Bei was apologizing to Xiang Ao, his words were very vivid, and he seemed to have no past feelings. In this regard, Xiang Ao also treated it indifferently and did not show too much emotion.

"I don't know who the two strong men behind Brother Xuande are?"

"This is Guan Yu, the word cloud is long, this Zhang Fei, the word Yide. The three of us are like-minded, although we are not brothers, but even more brothers! This time, the recruitment of Xiangyong has a fate, so let's go together! ”

"Guan Yu has seen Champion Hou!" "Zhang Fei has seen Champion Hou!"

"Two strong men are very polite!" Xiang Ao returned the salute with his fists and looked at the two of them carefully: "If Brother Xuande can pay attention, presumably the two strong men are also thousands of enemies!" ”

"Jun Hou Praise!" Liu Bei took over the words of the two and said: "These two brothers do have a little brute strength!" ”

"In this way, I congratulate Brother Xuande on his talent!" Xiang Ao also returned politely.

After that, the two began to talk about the military situation and the way of the world today. When talking about the pain of the people and the pain of the court, Liu Bei sobbed a little sadly, expressing his desire to serve the Son of Heaven. Behind Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also extremely excited.

Hehe, I never thought that this Liu Xuande was average in knowledge, and he had a set of people's hearts! Xiang Ao smiled secretly in his heart.

"Since Brother Xuande has the heart to serve the country with his fists, after the Yellow Turban is pacified, I will truthfully report Brother Xuande's merits, so that Brother Xuande can get his wish!"

"Thank you, Xuande just did something he could!" Liu Bei hugged his fists and said modestly.

In a flash, in June of the first year of Guanghe, Lu Zhi surrounded Guangzong and did not get an inch in advance. And the land of Xiaquyang, where Xiang Ao is located, is also helpless, and Zhang Bao does not show any flaws. And Xiang Ao's order to recruit villagers in the surrounding counties has not had much effect, January has passed, at this time Xiang Ao's troops and horses plus Liu Bei's thousands of soldiers and horses can only exceed 30,000, and it is still unrealistic to storm Quyang.

However, the scouts who came and went between Xiang Ao and Lu Zhi reported bad news to Xiang Ao at this time. Originally, Lu Zhi built blockades, dug trenches, and made ladders around Guangzong County. Seeing that the city could be captured, the DPRK sent Xiaohuangmen Zuofeng to the front line to inspect the military situation.

Xiang Ao learned that Zuo Feng was a frequent slanderer and extremely greedy for money. If such a villain encounters the upright Lu Zhi, I'm afraid that Lu Zhi will be framed by Zuo Feng. Sure enough, Lu Zhi did not bribe Zuo Feng, and even Lu Zhi's straightforward words about the matter also reached Zuo Feng's ears. The military supplies are not enough, how can there be more money to flatter the angels, Zuo Feng was furious after hearing it.

Xiang Ao was very anxious after receiving the news, and sent someone to the imperial court overnight to explain the reason why Guangzong and Xia Quyang had not been captured for a long time. Originally, Xiang Ao planned to secretly help Lu Zhi with the bribe, but he was worried that he would not be able to catch up with Zuo Feng in time, so Xiang Ao had to write a letter to intercede, and marked that he was already stationed in Xiaquyang at this time.

If someone deliberately framed Lu Zhi, Xiang Ao could also leave the governor Julu Yellow Turban. After the Yellow Turban was pacified, Xiang Ao pleaded for merit to prevent Lu Zhi from being imprisoned.

It was really as Xiang Ao expected. Within half a month, the imperial court issued an edict to punish Lu Zhi for the crime of ineffective combat, and the prisoner was escorted back to Luoyang, the capital division, for trial.

Fortunately, Xiang Ao's previous arrangements worked, when Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty learned that Xiang Ao was also in the boundary of Julu County, Jizhou, after punishing Lu Zhi, he asked Xiang Ao to temporarily act as the general of Beizhonglang and lead the pacification of the Yellow Turban in Jizhou.

"Eunuchs mislead the country, eunuchs mislead the country!" After Xiang Ao heard the news, he was angry in the big tent, and he didn't have a good impression of the eunuch in his heart.

"You don't have to be so angry!" Xi Zhong calmly persuaded Xiang Ao: "Although Zigangong was framed by a traitor, the lord is still there, just break the yellow scarf, and then rehabilitate Zigan." ”

Xiang Ao forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, took a few deep breaths before alleviating it and said: "At this time, anger is useless, we still discuss how to break the yellow scarf as soon as possible!" ”

"Jun Hou, I want to come to the teacher to attack Guangzong The matter has been arranged, and it is recommended to leave some troops to stay in Xiaquyang, and the rest go to Guangzong to break the yellow turban and correct the teacher's name!"

Xiang Ao thought about it for a while and said, "It should be so!" ”

"Then the whole army will go!" Xiang Ao ordered to turn his head and say to Zhao Yun: "I left two thousand elite horsemen for Zilong, plus 10,000 Xiangyong, just drag Zhang Bao, no need to attack, I don't know if Zilong dares to take it?" ”

"Yunding lives up to the king's trust!" Zhao Yun clenched his fists and took the order, and strode away. Liu Bei looked at Zhao Yun who was leaving, and his heart was extremely resigned, and he even felt that Zhao Yun should have been his Liu Bei's person, and he even felt a little jealous of Xiang Ao in his heart.

Xiang Ao didn't want to take care of Liu Bei at this time, and led the remaining less than two former elite cavalry, Gao Shun and the remaining village warriors, plus Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, about 20,000 soldiers and horses galloped towards Guangzong. The officers and troops who were originally preparing to attack Guangzong stopped all their previous actions because the supreme commander had not yet arrived, and only continued to surround Guangzong.

In addition to Xiang Ao, the imperial court also sent Dong Zhuo, who was recommended by the military general of Xiliang, to supervise the army, hoping to break through the Yellow Turban as soon as possible and stabilize the Han Dynasty.

"Zhicai, since the imperial court has temporarily appointed me to the post of Zhonglang general, why did you send me to supervise the army?"

"Zhong has never entered the court, and Zhong also doesn't know, maybe he came to mix up his merits?"

Although Xiang Ao is the minister of the dynasty, Xi Zhong is also wise, but the two of them have never stayed in the court again, I don't know what Liu Hong means. However, he was also half-guessed by Xi Zhong, and he did let Dong Zhuo come to gild.

"I don't know how Dong Zhuo is?" Xiang Ao sighed a little and said, "If you are sensible, it is good to know right from wrong." If... Hey..."Xi Zhong sighed, he was indeed afraid that people who didn't understand military affairs would come to make a mistake.

"Zhicai don't have to worry, I have heard of Dong Zhuo's name." Xiang Ao smiled lightly and explained to Xi Zhong: "This person liked to act chivalrous and righteous when he was young, and when he became an adult, he served as an official in the Longxi County Government and was responsible for local security. At that time, the Huns often harassed the border and plundered the people, and Liangzhou achieved the conquest of Dong Zhuo at this time, Dong Zhuo led the troops to break the Huns and won thousands of pieces. ”

"Dong Zhuo used to be a neighbor of my northern region, and a few years ago, he was still serving as a assassin in Bingzhou, and his talent is good, especially in the military, and many military generals in Liangzhou are praised for it."

"If only that were the case!" Xi Zhong was slightly relieved when he heard this, but the worry between his eyebrows still did not dissipate.

Xiang Ao only chuckled silently when he saw it, what the hell is, he needs to see it. Besides, Xiang Ao has already thought in his heart, if this person is mediocre or even interferes with the military, Xiang Ao doesn't mind tying him up first, and when the yellow scarf is calmed down, wouldn't it be solved if he was given a little credit? hehe

After Xiang Ao arrived in Guangzong, he ordered a military general to come to the middle tent to discuss the siege of the city, in order to avoid affecting the morale of the army, Xiang Ao even pulled out Liu Bei, and the two claimed to be Lu Zhi's disciples. Coupled with Xiang Ao's past achievements, the Han army was not unstable due to the change of generals. Even many young sergeants were even more excited after seeing Xiang Ao. After all, Xiang Ao was an idol among many young people in the Han Dynasty at this time, especially from poor families, and even from poor backgrounds.
