Chapter 185: Weakness is a sin, and fat is also a sin
The two armies pursued jointly, and the Liangzhou rebel army could not turn the tables even with the help of heavenly soldiers. More than 1,000 people were confessed, and the camp was burned by Dong Zhuo's army, and he retreated ten miles to see that he could escape the pursuit of a group of Han troops.
This is a big victory, and the good news was naturally transmitted back to Luoyang as soon as possible. And the two armies that were still in Meiyang opened a celebration banquet that night. Don't ask me why Xiang Cheng didn't stop him from holding a celebration banquet at this stall, after all, now that the morale of the Liangzhou rebel army is being injured and the camp has been lost, even if the gate is open for them to attack the camp, they will not come.
Zhang Wen came to He Jin's camp with a smile, his face was full of spring breeze, and he saw that Gan Ning was about to break out and hurt people several times.
Zhou Shen seems to have a feeling that he is pressing all his net worth on Zhang Wen, and when Zhang Wen says a word, he will echo it, like two actors who talk about cross talk, one teasing and the other laughing. And Dong Zhuo is much more shrewd, just eating and drinking with his head down, no matter who asks, he is vague. This kind of person is terrifying, so Guo Jia and Bai Ren's eyes lingered on him for far longer than those two who talked about cross talk.
He Jin looked at Zhang Wen and snorted coldly, and said to Xiang Cheng: "Look at these two people, they really haven't seen the world, and they are happy to be like this with a small victory." ”
Xiang Cheng smiled bitterly in his heart, this is because of the small vocal music, this is because he robbed us of our credit, so he is happy like this. He said, "Is the general joking with me or is he serious?" ”
He Jin sighed when he heard this: "Hey, I don't know what they are, but it's a pity that I wronged you." ”
He Jin is righteous, originally this victory was caused by Xiang Cheng's unparalleled martial arts, but now according to military merits, it is more on Zhang Wen's side. Only because of their last blow. This blow went straight down, but it harvested a lot of good heads.
Xiang Cheng chuckled and said: "Don't get in the way, you have real skills in your hands, and this military merit is naturally indispensable." ”
Xiang Cheng didn't come here for military merit, in his and Guo Jia's plan, the reward of this big man was dispensable, what he needed was prestige in the army, and he didn't count on the 10,000 soldiers in the north of Luoyang, but the remaining 20,000 people were not a small number. And these people are all veterans who have fought with Liangzhou, their garrison in Chang'an.
To say that military merit is not important, it is not necessarily true, but it is not important to the current Xiang Cheng. Because the Liangzhou Rebellion lasted far longer than the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Although relatively unappreciated by traditional historians, the rebellion was of lasting significance, shaking the central court's control of the northwest and laying the foundation for the Hu people to establish power here for hundreds of years to come.
And even more important are the things that are not recorded in the history books, those things that Xiang Cheng sees with his current eyes.
This war seems to be an activity of alien resistance to centralized rule, but the undercurrent is surging, and it is even more involved in the changes in the Luoyang court, and it is precisely because of the Liangzhou Rebellion that almost half of the blood of Luoyang's civil and military forces has been changed.
It can be said that Liu Hong is very stupid, but in Xiang Cheng's eyes, he is extremely smart, although he is ridiculous in his appearance.
Take Huangfu Song as an example, Ping Yellow Turban, governing Jizhou, and fighting Liangzhou can be described as a high military achievement. But Liu Hong dared to recall him back and abandon him with an edict, just because of his superb military achievements, which made Liu Hong feel threatened.
Liu Hong made good use of this chaotic uprising, eliminated all those who threatened him, and even rewarded many newcomers like a big sale at a loss, completing the final stage of his reign. But his most failed stroke is also here, which is to reward the newcomer, and among the newcomers is Dong Zhuo.
Xiang Cheng and He Jin chatted with each other, and the celebration banquet gradually came to an end. As the sky completely darkened, the laughter in the barracks gradually subsided. Although these soldiers still want to continue to make trouble, but the body does not agree with them to do so, the daytime fight is not a child's house, and the physical wear and tear is still very large.
Zhang Wen was naturally a little tired, this time he snatched He Jin's military exploits and ridiculed He Jin's incompetence, and he was also happy.
"General, today's banquet is over, and the next official will retire first." Zhang Wen was full of wine and food, his face flushed, and what he said seemed respectful but extremely rude. This banquet was set up by He Jin, and he didn't say that he was going to disperse, but Zhang Wen said it for him.
He Jin said coldly: "Lord Sikong came uninvited, and now he has to say that he will disperse, and he is really high-spirited and chic." ”
Zhang Wen smiled and said with the strength of wine: "Not chic, not chic, how can I be more chic than the general, hehe, contemptible people are not strong enough to drink, not good to drink." Belch. ”
He Jin sneered: "Slow down and don't send it!" Then he turned around and went out of the tent.
Zhang Wen didn't know if he was really drunk or fake, but no matter whether he was really drunk or fake, Zhou Shen followed him cautiously, for fear that he would get drunk and fall. And Dong Zhuo's attitude was very ambiguous, after Zhang Wen and Zhou Shen left the camp, Dong Zhuo did not leave, but followed behind He Jin resignedly.
He Jinben and Xiang Cheng walked together, and suddenly turned around and saw a black fat man following him, and he was really startled.
"Are you going to scare Lao Tzu to death!?" He Jin patted his chest and yelled.
Dong Zhuo knelt down without saying a word: "The lower official doesn't dare, the lower official just saw the cheerful conversation between the general and the broken general and didn't dare to disturb." ”
He Jin calmed down and said, "Dong Zhongying, what are you doing sneakily following me!" Don't you want to assassinate me? ”
Dong Zhuo suddenly said in panic: "The lower officials don't dare, the lower officials don't dare." ”
He Jin's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Then you are following me to find out the military situation for Zhang Wen?" ”
In the final analysis, He Jin is still very disgusted with what Zhang Wen did today, in fact, not only He Jin, but anyone in this military camp who pulls it out and asks will be disgusted by Zhang Wen's actions. And Dong Zhuo, as Zhang Wen's "pioneer officer", was even more blinded, at least at this banquet, Gan Ning rolled his eyes at Dong Zhuo at least a hundred times.
Dong Zhuo smiled bitterly: "The general doesn't know, I and Yuan Shaoyuan of Hebei were originally close friends, and it was really helpless to serve Sikong, so I came to ask the general to talk to Sikong and say, transfer me here, what?" ”
He Jin was overjoyed when he heard this, although Dong Zhuo's actions today made him unhappy, but Dong Zhuo's martial arts were definitely not under Gan Ning, if Dong Zhuo could serve himself, it would really be like a tiger with wings.
He Jinqiang held back the joy in his heart, and asked Xiang Cheng, "What do you think of Ji Yu?" ”
Xiang Cheng naturally knew what kind of person Dong Zhuo was, but at this moment, he couldn't find a reason to refute it. Only then did he say helplessly: "General, I don't think this matter is appropriate." ”
Dong Zhuo said: "What's wrong? Isn't it that the general is afraid that someone will rob you of your credit? ”
He Jin said: "Heyu can rest assured, even if Dong Zhuo robbed you of the credit, I can also ensure that you have a worry-free future." ”
Xiang Cheng sighed and said slowly: "Actually, it's not that I'm afraid that he will rob me of my credit. ”
He Jinqi said: "Why is that? ”
Xiang Cheng was speechless, and then gritted his teeth and said: "This person is too fat, standing in the army affects his appearance." ”
