Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Guards of Yanmen

Cao Cao is repaid, but Yuan Shu's problem is still not really solved, in the end, he is too weak, Yuan Shu can make such an unscrupulous move, Zhang Xiang feels the importance of strength all the time.

Since the last time Zhang Xiang went to Fangze Pavilion, he has never left the post house, but Zhang Xiang's movements have not been interrupted in Luoyang, especially the exploits experienced by Zhang Xiang in the Battle of the Yellow Turban, Zhang Xiang knows that this is the Yin family building momentum for him.

So that Zhang Xiang can win a place in Bingzhou, since Yin Lin has made a move, Zhang Xiang should also be ready, Zhang Xiang is not for himself, after all, the territory that Zhang Xiang wants to plan is not something that Zhang Xiang can solve.

Zhang Xiang completely believes in the Yin family, Zhang Xiang wants to prepare his hometown Zhuo County, since Zhang Xiang wants to settle in Bingzhou, he will definitely not be able to return to Zhuo County in a short time, but Zhuo County is his hometown, Zhang Xiang can't give up.

Of course, his father Zhang Hao and other family members want to follow Zhang Xiang to Bingzhou, and they don't want to be the county magistrate with Zhen Ti, so the post of county magistrate will be idle, so Zhang Xiang wants Fanhe to be the parent official of Zhuo County.

As the old man of the Zhang family, Fanhe has no problem in terms of loyalty, and during this time, he has also continued to take care of the affairs of Zhuo County for Zhang Xiang, and he is also familiar with the road, and the rest of the things will be solved with money.

Because Fanhe was born as a civilian, it was still a little short to be a county commander, Zhang Xiang had to let someone buy an official for Fanhe, Mao Wei was subdued by Zhang Xiang together with Ding Yan, and he was even more unbearable than Ding Yan.

However, Zhang Xiang just took a fancy to his unbearableness, he would not have extravagant hopes if he didn't have the ability, the most important thing is Mao Wei's identity, Chen Liumao's family is just a side child, but it is also one level higher than Zhen Ti's identity, he is fully qualified to serve as the county commander.

Therefore, it is most suitable for him to buy officials for Fanhe, if it is the children of other families, they will not agree to this matter, but the Mao family is different, and the Mao family is famous among the family's descendants.

A side disciple like Mao Wei is not valued by the family at all, and he has to come out to earn a living by himself, although he is more noble than Zhen Ti, but his life is far worse than Zhen Ti.

The people of the family have a good face, even if Mao Wei does some lowly work regardless of his face, the Mao family will not agree, so Mao Wei did not hesitate to join Zhang Xiang's subordinates.

When Zhang Xiang told Mao Wei about buying officials, sure enough, Mao Wei did not object, but was happy to do it, in his words, this matter is simple and not dangerous, why not do it?

In fact, Zhang Xiang recruited his subordinates to have one thing in common, that is, obedient, unless it is too strong talent, Zhang Xiang will relax this standard, and Zhou Yangding, who has recently been subdued, are obedient people.

Mao Wei went to the West Garden, and bought the title of Zhuo County's county order very smoothly, and on the second day of this matter, Zhang Xiang received an edict from the imperial court, asking him to enter the palace tomorrow to face the saint.

Zhang Xiang knew that the reward was coming, and Zhang Xiang lived in the underworld that night, like the Yin Forest to ask for the etiquette of the face saint, for fear that there was a wrong step, the matter had already gone ninety-nine steps, and the last step was missing, Zhang Xiang didn't want to make a mistake in the last step.

The next day, Zhang Xiang entered the court, and the officials of the early dynasty were waiting outside the palace, Zhang Xiang saw familiar faces such as Huangfu Song Cao Cao among these people, and the hundred officials went to the early court.

There were only people waiting for the reward outside the palace, Cao Cao also nodded to Zhang Xiang, after all, it was in the palace to be more restrained, Zhang Xiang and the others had been waiting outside, because the early dynasty was too early, Zhang Xiang was still a little sleepy, so it was inevitable that he would doze off a little.

When the eunuch sent the decree to let the meritorious person in, Zhang Xiang was still in a daze? If Cao Cao hadn't pushed Zhang Xiang from behind, this crime of contempt for the court would not have been able to escape, and Cao Cao saved himself again.

This time Zhang Xiang had nothing to return, Zhang Xiang and others entered the palace, and after saluting, Zhang Xiang saw Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Xiang This is also the first time to see the emperor, it is inevitable that he will take a lot seriously.

I have to say that Zhang Xiang was really a little disappointed, Liu Hong's face was very white and his eyes were deep, and at a glance, he knew that his body was hollowed out by wine, and he had no heavenly style, how could he not perish with such a monarch.

Liu Hong nodded, and Zhang Rang, the chief attendant, read out the reward, and the others Zhang Xiang didn't pay attention to it, but only paid attention to Cao Cao, Cao Cao was appointed by the imperial court as the minister of Jinan, and this county guard is in Qingzhou!

It is much better than the position that Zhang Xiang wants to seek and the county guard, Zhang Xiang can't help but envy, and when Zhang Xiang arrives, Zhang Xiang was appointed as the Taishou of Yanmen County, which surprised Huangfu Song and Cao Cao.

They all knew the identity of Zhang Xiang, the son-in-law of the Yin family, but they didn't expect that the Yin family would attach so much importance to Zhang Xiang, and they did not hesitate to make a heavy bet to let Zhang Xiang get the position of the defender of a county.

After the reward, it is a punishment, the first of which is Lu Zhi, Zhang Xiang has not seen Lu Zhi for several years, and finally the emperor Song tried his best to protect Lu Zhi, and Lu Zhi was saved from the death penalty and obtained a white body, which is also a great luck in misfortune.

As soon as Zhang Xiang came out, he saw Lu Zhi surrounded by a group of scholars, Zhang Xiang naturally walked over and called out respectfully, "Teacher." ”

Lu Zhi has a lot of students, and he doesn't know who the little general in front of him is for a while, after all, Zhang Xiang has changed a lot as an adult, "This little general is my student, I don't seem to remember teaching you." ”

Zhang Xiang: "Teacher, have you forgotten me?" I'm Zhang Xiang from Zhuo County. Although Lu Zhi didn't know Zhang Xiang's appearance, he remembered the name Zhang Xiang very clearly, at the beginning, this young man used his hair to make a farewell gift, Lu Zhi always remembered that there were elementary school students like Zhang Xiang in Youzhou.

It's just that I don't know that Zhang Xiang has become a general, "You are Xiang'er, I didn't expect it to be so big in a blink of an eye, and you were rewarded." At this time, everyone knew that Zhang Xiang was Lu Zhi's student.

Congratulations to Lu Zhi for having a good student, Lu Zhi couldn't figure it out for a while, and at this time, Huangfu Song also came over, "Brother Zi, you don't know yet!" Zhang Xiang is already the newly appointed Yanmen County Guard of the imperial court, and my father Huangfu Festival has also served in this position, Zhang Xiang is only so old to sit in this position, and he doesn't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for him to become famous as a young man. ”

The teacher preaches and teaches to solve doubts, Lu Zhi, as Zhang Xiang's teacher, naturally has to consider his students, Lu Zhi has been an official for many years and has experienced Feng Yu, how could he not know Zhang Xiang's pettiness.

But he didn't show it in front of everyone, but smiled, and after saying goodbye to everyone, Lu Zhi took Zhang Xiang with him and returned to Lu Mansion, and Zhang Xiang also entered Lu Zhi's home for the first time.

Lu Zhi has been in the officialdom for many years, but his family is very poor, so the mansion is not very big, Lu Zhi took Zhang Xiang to the study, "Xiang'er, tell me the truth, how did you come to be the Taishou of Yanmen." ”

Zhang Xiang told Lu Zhi about his experience over the years, from being an official in the local area to the Battle of the Yellow Turban to marrying the Yin family, he told Lu Zhi in 1510, of course, Zhang Xiang did not expose his ambitions in front of Lu Zhi.

It's just that he is also very poor when he gets the position of the county guard of Yanmen, and he pushes everything very cleanly, Lu Zhi also thinks that Zhang Xiang can get the position of the county guard, and it is completely the Yin family who is making trouble behind his back.

Lu Zhi kindly reminded Zhang Xiang, "Xiang'er, you have such an achievement, and you are very happy to be a teacher, but you must remember that after you get Yanmen, you must beware of the people of the Yin family, you must firmly grasp the power of the army, and you can compromise with the Yin family for everything, but the army cannot." ”

Zhang Xiang naturally put on a teachable appearance, saying that he knew, Lu Zhi looked at the respectful Zhang Xiang, and also felt that he was a little serious, so he left Zhang Xiang to eat in the mansion.

The dinner table was full of affection, Zhang Xiang finally left the Lu Mansion, and Lu Zhi also saw him off in person, if Lu Zhi knew that all these things were planned by Zhang Xiang, he would definitely regret it.

Lu Zhi also personally found Yin Lin for Zhang Xiang's matter, and kept warning Yin Lin in his words, asking him not to use Zhang Xiang, although Yin Lin didn't know why this happened, but it was not easy to refute, so he could only keep nodding his head.

Afterwards, Yin Lin also criticized Zhang Xiang fiercely for this matter, Zhang Xiang was just in the left ear and out of the right ear, Zhang Xiang had already obtained everything he wanted, and it was only in vain to stay in Luoyang, so he asked Yin Lin to resign.

Yin Lin did not object, so he followed Zhang Xiang to leave Luoyang, Huangfu Song Cao Cao and others personally bid farewell to Zhang Xiang, Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi's ideas coincided, and they also felt that Zhang Xiang was making trouble in the Yin family, so he also kindly reminded Zhang Xiang that Huangfu Song also had some relations in Yanmen, so after Zhang Xiang arrived in Yanmen, if he encountered any difficulties, he could ask these people for help.

Zhang Xiang didn't expect Huangfu Song's parting gift to be so heavy, Zhang Xiang could only accept it at a loss, Zhang Xiang and the troops outside the city round, found that the rebels outside the city had almost gone.

Zhang Xiang already knew the situation here in advance, after all, the ordinary reward was sent down before Zhang Xiang and the others, Liu Bei also left Luoyang and took office in Pingyuan County, Zhang Xiang can now imagine Liu Bei's face when he received the reward.

Now there are only some old and weak soldiers left outside the city, but Zhang Xiang values these people very much, these people are all old pawns who have seen blood, as long as they are used properly, they are much stronger than some new pawns.

The Xiangfei Army incorporated these people, and the number of the Xiangfei Army directly changed from 4,000 to more than 6,000 people.

But Zhang Xiang knew that these people would definitely play a great role in the future, and then the generals would understand their hard work, and Zhang Xiang would not have to waste his words to explain, and the army would set off like this.
