Chapter 43: Visiting the Camp (2)

On this day, Liu Changzheng was concentrating on reading and analyzing the intelligence of the past few days in his barracks, since Huangfu Song promoted him to join the army in the camp, this intelligence collection and analysis fell on him. Fortunately, Liu Chang's familiarity with the general trend makes him quite comfortable now.

"Tom tom tom ......tom" Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Liu Chang sorted out the information on the bookcase and said loudly: "Please come in!" ”

"Squeak ......" The door opened, and a sergeant approached from the outside, and after seeing Liu Chang, he bowed his hand and said: "Lord of the army, the angel has arrived, and the general of Huangfu has come to ask you to go to the lobby to pay respects." ”

"Angels arrived?" Liu Chang couldn't react for a while, and suddenly remembered that in ancient China, those eunuchs or other people who went out of Beijing to preach the holy decree were called "angels", and immediately settled down, and said, "Okay, I know, thank you brother for coming to invite!" With that, he got up and followed the herald to the lobby.

By the time Liu Chang arrived, the hall was already crowded with people at this moment, except for Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, all the generals and officials were already present. This also includes Cao Cao, the cavalry commander, Qin Jie, the former Nanyang Taishou, Sun Jian, the partial general, and Liu Chang's brother Liu Bei.

Seeing that Nanyang was too guarded by Qin Jie, Liu Changxin said that this person was actually a hero, but he was rebelled by his subordinates and died of hatred when he was outnumbered.

Liu Chang began to count the heroes he knew who died of hatred in the late Han Dynasty, in addition to Qin Jie in front of him, there were also Zang Hong in Jizhou, Bao Xin in Luoyang now, and so on.

"Oh, Shiming is here!" Just when Liu Chang was thinking about it, Huangfu Song walked up to Liu Chang and said politely.

When Liu Chang saw Huangfu Song coming over, he arched his hand and said, "Hello General Huangfu!" I wonder when the angel will arrive? ”

"Soon, according to the mouth of those who have come to deliver the message, the angel has arrived in the city, and will come later." The person who replied was not Huangfu Song, but Cao Cao, who had been getting along with Liu Chang more closely in the past few days.

Huangfu Song came to Liu Chang's side, and asked softly: "Shiming, what do you think will happen when the angel comes this time?" ”

"This ......" Liu Chang was a little dazed for a while, but suddenly he remembered that the history books of later generations recorded Zuo Fengfeng bribery, thinking that it was the previous Tang newspaper that made the Han Emperor suspicious, although it is all true, but after all, Chen Ping has been in the Han Dynasty for a long time, and there are few things about military merits and official titles, plus Emperor Ling likes to buy and sell officials, so if you seal officials according to your military merits, such as Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and Lu Zhi, you can basically be listed among the three major generals under the general (three major generals: Hussar General, Che Cavalry General, and Wei General). According to Liu Chang's speculation about Liu Hong, the Han Emperor, he felt that he would obviously not give the official so lightly, and he would have to search for some benefits, so he sent Xiaohuangmen to inspect.

Immediately, Liu Chang turned his mind and said to Huangfu Song.

When Huangfu Song heard this, he glared angrily and said: "How can this be reasonable, we are fighting bloody battles on the battlefield, how can Your Majesty not know, why do I bend my knees to those eunuchs?" ”

Seeing that Huangfu Song was like this, Liu Chang shouted in his heart that it was not good, this was Lu Zhi's second rhythm, and he immediately used his brain to think of a way to deal with it. However, at this moment, although he guessed the intentions of Emperor Han and the eunuchs, what he didn't understand was that the history books only recorded the affairs of Lu Zhi and Zuo Feng, but did not mention what happened to Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun. And judging from the subsequent records, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song were really named the left and right chariot generals, and they were both named county marquis, which is really different from the upright Lu Zhi. The heart said: Could it be that there are masters around Huangfu Song? But if I look around, I don't see anyone come up to persuade me. Immediately, Liu Chang had no choice but to say what he thought.

"The general is angry! What Xiao Ke said just now is just speculation. He first appeased Huangfu Song, and then said, "General, since the angel has come from afar, no matter what it is, but it is always an errand for the emperor, we cannot despise and neglect it because it is a eunuch in terms of etiquette." Otherwise, we will be accused of contempt for the emperor, and no matter how hard the general tries to destroy the thief, there will always be some unease in His Majesty's heart. ”

"The...... The old man has been on the battlefield for many years, and he has been a general for generations, why is His Majesty not at ease? Foolishly, foolish! After hearing this, Huangfu Song was furious, if it weren't for the sake of his previous military exploits, he would have the idea of forking Liu Chang out.

When Liu Chang saw this, he was also angry, and said in his heart: Paralyzed, Lao Tzu is kind to persuade him, but he didn't expect to be scolded, I really don't know how this Huangfu Song escaped this catastrophe. No wonder he was dismissed from the military power in the future, and he did some idle duties under the name of a general. In the end, he was ridden on the head by Dong Zhuo.

When Liu Chang was about to open his mouth to fight back, Right Zhonglang walked over with a smile, grabbed Huangfu Song and said, "Brother Yizhen! I don't think what Shiming said just now is not bad. Think about it, although this is a eunuch, but his trip represents His Majesty, so we should welcome it and must not neglect it. ”

"This ......" Huangfu Song is a little difficult, the eunuch is the type of person he hates the most now, mainly because it caused the disaster of the party, how many loyal and good people were killed, although the Huangfu family was not involved, but Huangfu Song has always been dissatisfied with the eunuch's actions, so when he heard that the emperor sent the eunuch as an angel, he was really angry. and then ran into Liu Chang and asked him to greet the eunuch, which was considered to have touched the anger point.

Just when Huangfu Song was entangled, his son Huangfu Jianshou also followed and said: "Father, the child thinks that what Brother Shiming said is true!" I hope my father thinks twice! ”

After Huangfu Song looked at Zhu Jun, Jianshou and Liu Chang, he sighed, put his arm on Liu Chang's shoulder and said, "That's it." Shiming's words are indeed reasonable, but the old man is in good shape! ”

After speaking, Huangfu Song shouted, "Welcome!" ”

As soon as the words fell, someone outside the door heard singing: "The angel has arrived in ......"

Soon, everyone saw a man who looked like a powerful man, wearing an inner service and entering the lobby. When Liu Chang saw it, he couldn't help but wonder, isn't it that the eunuchs in the books and film and television dramas are all born like sissies, why doesn't this look like it? It's like a fierce general. However, before he could figure it out, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun took the lead in kneeling, kowtowed, and said: "The minister left Zhonglang will Huangfu Song and the right Zhonglang will Zhu Jun, and lead the military generals under his command to welcome the angels!" ”

"Welcome Angel!" Immediately, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun greeted in unison.

"Excuse me!" This time, Liu Chang was even more surprised, only to hear the eunuch's voice was majestic, not as sharp as in the play. I thought: Could it be that those screenwriters and directors in later generations were wrong?

After Huangfu Song and the others got up, the burly eunuch said: "Our family is a big man, and I hope that the generals will cooperate more!" ”

Boom! When Liu Chang heard his name, he remembered the alternative eunuchs during the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. According to the information of later generations, this Jian Shuo is not the likes of the Ten Standing Servants, this person is powerful, knows the art of war through martial arts, and is diligent and conscientious when leading the West Garden Guard, and has built the West Garden Guard into a more powerful guard than the Yulin Army, which shows the ability of this person. However, this person only knew that he was loyal to the Han Emperor and did not go with Zhang Rang and others, so he was often excluded, but fortunately, Emperor Ling liked him, so he was often in danger. However, it is such a person, in the action initiated by He Jin, Yuan Shao and others to exterminate the eunuchs, he died in battle, which can be regarded as helpless! Speaking of which, this Jian Shuo is still the first eunuch in history to command the army.

Thinking of this, Liu Chang understood why Huangfu Song was able to escape in this purge, but was able to obey the marquis of LĂŹ. Thinking of this, I put away my thoughts and quietly observed.

Huangfu Song and others led Jian Shuo to inspect the barracks and ordnance, and then took out the map to explain the current situation in detail. What is unexpected is that this eunuch has no intention of finding fault and finding fault, and even said good again and again when listening to Huangfu Song's oral war report. What's even more shocking is that this Jian Shuo actually discussed the art of war with Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun. Speaking of Xing, it also makes people play chess.

Before you know it, it's sunset, and the moon is hanging on the branches. Zhu Junti set up a dinner party to wash the dust of the angels, but he was rejected by Jian Shuo, saying that he wanted to eat with the soldiers, and immediately Liu Changti held a bonfire dinner, which was approved by the generals.

At the dinner, Liu Chang looked at Jian Shuo, who was not smiling but was quite careful, and found Cheng Yanjin, who was eating a large piece, and asked, "Fifth brother, did you have any contact with him when you were in Kyoto?" ”

Cheng Biting Jin devoured a piece of meat, and then said: "Big brother, he is an outlier!" ”

"Outliers? How is it different? Liu Chang looked at Cheng Biting Jin suspiciously, and listening to Cheng Biting Jin's tone, there seemed to be something going on between the two......

Cheng Yanjin took another sip of wine and slowly talked about his affairs in Luoyang. It turned out that Cheng Yanjin visited the ten permanent attendants and a few small yellow doors one by one according to the roster given by Liu Chang, but something went wrong when he visited Jian Shuo. This Jian Shuo is not greedy for money, and the other is not lustful, everyone who comes to the door will compete with him, and the winner can entrust him to do things, and the loser will get out.

It is said that on the same day, Cheng Biting Jin came to the door, and Jian Shuo treated him as usual. Cheng Biting Jin relied on himself as a battlefield general, and did not take this inner palace eunuch in his eyes, and played with Jian Shuo in vain. Unexpectedly, the two fought for nearly 100 rounds without winning or losing, but Jian Shuo had a slight upper hand. But after all, Cheng Biting Jin has been in battle for a long time, and he has fought a war of attrition with experience, and the two have been fighting from the middle of the day to the west of the day, and they are still fighting since the beginning of the month, but at this time, it is already you punching me and punching, you kick me and I kick, and after fighting for another hour, both of them were exhausted and had to stop fighting. Then Jian Shuo invited Cheng Yanjin to stay overnight. That night, the two of them looked at me, I looked at you, and suddenly laughed non-stop, it turned out that both of them were beaten into pigs' heads. Subsequently, Jian Shuo asked Cheng Yanjin about his intentions, and when he heard that there were many fierce generals under Liu Chang's command, Jian Shuo agreed, and at the same time asked Cheng Yanjin to be called a brother when he met him alone in the future.

After listening to Cheng Biting Jin's story, Liu Chang really didn't know what to say, the characteristics of Fu Jiang completely broke out in the Luoyang Secret War, not only successfully caught up with Zhang Rang, but also made friends with several others, and what was even more unexpected was that Cheng Biting Jin actually had a relationship with Jian Shuo, the commander of the West Garden Guard in the future.

Just as Liu Chang was in his abdomen, Jian Shuo's voice sounded beside him: "General Cheng, don't come unharmed?" ”

I saw Cheng Yanjin get up with a smile and arch his hand: "Thank you father-in-law for your concern, the last general can eat and sleep now, no harm!" ”

"Hahaha......" When everyone heard this, they all laughed.

Suddenly, Cheng Yanjin pulled up Liu Chang and said to Jian Shuo: "Father-in-law, this is my eldest brother, Liu Chang!" ”

"Oh? You are Liu Chang? Jian Shuo looked at the seemingly weak person in front of him with some doubts.

Liu Chang smiled and arched his hand: "Xiaguan Liu Chang, I've seen my father-in-law!" ”

"Well, I heard that Liu Senjun is the mastermind of this battle of Yingchuan, so Zhang Liang is really alive!" Jian Shuo had read the Tang newspaper and the battle report before he came, so he naturally knew about this Liu Chang, so he praised it.

Liu Chang knew that this was not the time to come out, so he pretended to be frightened and said: "My father-in-law praised it. If it weren't for the emperor's general strategy and courage, Cao Duwei was good at maneuvering, and I am afraid that the bad plan of lowly duty would be difficult to achieve. ”

"Hahaha, good! Liu joins the army without being arrogant, and he is not arrogant with his merits, and his majesty really didn't mistake you! Jian Shuo listened to Liu Chang's words, and immediately let out a smile on the dead fish face, and immediately said goodbye to Liu Chang and Cheng Yanjin and went to other camps.

The dinner party dispersed in the middle of the night, and Liu Chang was about to return to the barracks to rest when there was a sound behind him.

"Liu joins the army, the angel is invited!"
