After Zhang Xiang returned to the county town, it was calm, and Zhang Xiang was also busy governing the place, after all, there were many people displaced because of the Xianbei people's rebellion, and Zhang Xiang now seemed to be a big patriarch.

A group of children are waiting for Zhang Xiang to eat? Zhang Xiang didn't dare to be sloppy at all, just when Zhang Xiang was busy here, Ding Yuan was not idle, he finally leaked his intentions.

first recognized Lu Bu as his righteous son, and then began to control the military power, and promoted all his cronies, but those generals who were close to Lu Bu were transferred to the border to garrison.

When Lu Bu regressed, Ding Yuan became even more unscrupulous, transferred Lu Bu out of the army and became the chief bookkeeper, and let Lu Bu do civilian work, isn't this overkill? The beauty is to let Lu Bu experience in the local area, but in fact, it is deliberately suppressed.

Although Lu Bu was unruly, his family in Jiuyuan, and his cronies around him were transferred away, so he could only swallow his anger and stay by Ding Yuan's side.

Since then, Ding Yuan has completely controlled the military power of the state, and Lu Bukong has the force to be surrendered by Ding Yuan in the end, Zhang Xiang has seen these things, and he can't help but feel some empathy.

Zhang Xiang didn't dare to compare himself with Lu Bu, but Zhang Xiang was also the head of a county, and he was also a powerful figure in Bingzhou, and his relationship with Ding Yuan was not compatible, so Ding Yuan was likely to deal with himself next.

Ding Yuan's performance surprised Zhang Xiang, Zhang Xiang had to admit that he underestimated Ding Yuan, maybe Ding Yuan is not very good at military strategy, but he is definitely an old fox in politics.

Now it is not really a troubled time, and the prestige of the imperial court still exists. Ding Yuan had his back to the imperial court, and even fierce people like Lu Bu were temporarily suppressed. Then you should be a man with your tail between your legs.

Only by enduring the momentary anger can we have greater success. Ding Yuan is a stabbing history, once he makes a fuss about Zhang Xiang's political achievements, Zhang Xiang just said that it would be useless to bloom, and Ding Yuan pinched Zhang Xiang's key point.

Qian Ketong, although Zhang Xiang didn't know what Ding Yuan liked, but no one would hate property, Zhang Xiang prepared a thick gift and sent it to Ding Yuan's residence in Jinyang, which could be regarded as bowing to Ding Yuan on the side.

Ding Yuan received the gift and accepted it happily. Ding Yuan smiled in his heart: "Zhang Xiang, you are still a little tender, if it weren't for your background in the Yin family and the Zhen family, your fate would be the same as Lu Bu." ”

Zhang Xiang finally knew that Ding Yuan accepted the gift and was relieved, Zhang Xiang was not afraid of Ding Yuan's lion opening his mouth, he was afraid that he would not accept it, everything could not always be reckless, and he had to know how to retreat in order to succeed.

Lu Bu can be said to be a lesson for Zhang Xiang, and now everyone can see that Ding Yuan is in full swing in Bingzhou, and Zhang Xiang can only bow his head and be a man. did not leave Yanmen County one step, and governed the trivial places with peace of mind.

did not continue to recruit soldiers, so as not to provoke Ding Yuan's displeasure, but what Zhang Xiang did was just superficial work. It took a lot of effort in the dark, and the expansion of power moved from the bright side to the dark place.

Yanmen County has just experienced the baptism of war, and most of the people have been displaced. Although Zhang Xiang has vigorously managed, it will take time to slowly improve. So there are some places where there are some rogues.

There is also soil for the development of Zhang Xiang's dark forces, and Zhang Xiang is very impressed by Yu Zeng's person. Yu Zeng's forbearance is very suitable for developing in secret, so Zhang Xiang promoted Yu Zeng exceptionally.

If it was in the army, Zhang Xiang would never have promoted Yu Zeng like this, after all, there is no vacancy in the position in the army, and if you want to get a high position, you have to climb up from the bottom, but the dark forces are different Zhang Xiang alone.

Zhang Xiang secretly transferred more than 200 people from the army to listen to Yu Zeng's dispatch, and these 200 people all have a characteristic, that is, they are loyal to Zhang Xiang and look inconspicuous, so that they will not be seen by those who have a heart.

After Yu Zeng got more than 200 people, he quickly expanded in Yanmen County, because Yang Xu had a group of informants who secretly supported Yu Zeng, so Yu Zeng's power developed very smoothly, like a snowball.

The expansion of power is always accompanied by blood, and it is more direct to be so secretly on the surface, and it is sometimes outrageous to do things by unscrupulous means, so Yu Zeng also caused a lot of blood in Yanmen.

Although Zhang Xiang knew that Yu Zeng killed those rogue bandits, the people of Yanmen did not know that the atmosphere of panic was spreading among the people, and Zhang Xiang saw that it would not work if it went on like this.

Zhang Xiang is the county guard of Yanmen, if he doesn't do anything, he can only weaken the people's hearts, Zhang Xiang doesn't want to pick up sesame seeds and throw watermelons, so Zhang Xiang can only play a scene with Yu Zeng, so that Yu Zeng pretends to fail and escapes from Yanmen.

However, before Yu Zeng left, Zhang Xiang transferred Zhou Yang to him, and there was also the intention of surveillance, Zhang Xiang spent a lot of time and money on Yu Zeng, if Yu Zeng took people away, Zhang Xiang would have nothing to lose.

Of course, from the perspective of strength, Yu Zeng's force is not very strong, once he leaves Yanmen without Zhang Xiang's care, he must be struggling, Zhou Yang's force is good, but unfortunately he is not suitable for fighting on the battlefield, after Zhang Xiang has Zhou Cang, Zhou Yang's role is much smaller.

Instead of wasting talents around him, it is better to send Zhou Yang to the place where he is suitable, the local fight Zhou Yang is very suitable, and he used to be familiar with Wang Yue to go south and north.

Yu Zeng left Yanmen, but did not leave Bingzhou, Zhang Xiang could also help secretly, Yu Zeng also quickly gained a firm foothold outside, and Yu Zeng's focus was on the rich.

In addition to leaving some for their own development, most of them were sent to Zhang Xiang, Zhang Xiang also began to gradually accumulate capital because of this money, this few years have passed, Zhang Xiang's dark forces have also become a big problem in Bingzhou, and the number has grown to more than 5,000 people.

Killing the rich and helping the poor in all parts of Bingzhou, and the big clans in Bingzhou are the main objects of Yu Zeng's patronage, Ding Yuan's industries are all under Yu Zeng's key care, and only Yanmen County is calm after all.

Therefore, many large clans in Bingzhou have also moved to Yanmen County, and the development of Yanmen County has also become rich with the migration of these large clans, and the tax revenue has been greatly increased, and Zhang Xiang has vigorously developed commerce in recent years.

Yanmen County has become a rare pure land in Bingzhou, the people are very lively, Ding Yuan can only watch, he has always wanted to catch Zhang Xiang's sore feet, but unfortunately Zhang Xiang is very duty-oriented, and there is no opportunity for Ding Yuan.

In 188 AD, the imperial court restored the state pastoral system, Ding Yuan also became the state pastor, and the military and political power was grasped.

This is the first time that Zhang Xiang has left Yanmen County in several years, in addition to developing business support in recent years, Zhang Xiang has also continued to replace soldiers, it seems that the number has not changed, but the number of troops has been greatly strengthened.

It can be said that Zhang Xiang, whether it is a force on the surface or a force in the dark, is developing rapidly, Zhang Xiang also gave himself the word Feng, Feng has the meaning of a bumper harvest, Zhang Xiang also wants his power to be thriving and have a bumper harvest.

Because Yu Zeng secretly paved the way for Zhang Xiang, Zhang Xiang did not encounter any trouble on the way to Jinyang, and Ding Yuan also had a big feast in Jinyang, and many people came to congratulate him.

Zhang Xiang didn't care about these wall grasses at all, these people would only add icing on the cake, and they would definitely not send charcoal in the snow, now it seems that Ding Yuan is very beautiful, but there are very few who can serve him.

Ding Yuan is surrounded by those who flatter and pat the horse, Zhang Xiang also saw Lu Bu, Zhang Xiang has been paying attention to Lu Bu's affairs all these years, and knows that he is also not going well.

Because Ding Yuan became the state pastor, the generals on the border also came to congratulate, these people turned out to be Lu Bu's cronies, Lu Bu also became happy when he saw them, and Lu Bu also recovered a little bit of heroism.

Lu Bu is now surrounded by a group of people, and they are all border generals, Ding Yuan is very aware of the abilities of these people, Ding Yuan has tried to recruit these people more than once over the years, but in the end it has been in vain.

So when Ding Yuan saw such a scene, he couldn't help but feel jealous and turned his head to look at it, Zhang Xiang also saw this kind of thing and laughed secretly, how Ding Yuan climbed up, it was just a stepping stone for others.

Zhang Xiang also entered Lu Bu's circle, Lu Bu stayed in the position of the master book for a few years, and learned some kung fu of forbearance, although he had a conflict with Zhang Xiang, but he also knew that Zhang Xiang had also been suppressed by Ding Yuan in recent years.

With the same experience, Lu Bu didn't hate Zhang Xiang so much, after all, the unhappiness between them was a few years ago, and they still have a common enemy now, "Zhang Junshou hasn't seen him for a long time." ”

"Yes! I have been trapped in Yanmen for the past few years, and my life seems to be unremarkable, but I feel a little uncomfortable! Zhang Xiang emphasized a sleepy word, and Lu Bu certainly understood what it meant.

Why wasn't he because of a sleepy word? Lu Bu's feelings are deeper than Zhang Xiang's, "In the past few years, I have learned a truth, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and now that he has become a state pastor, we have no chance." ”

When Lu Bu and Zhang Xiang were talking, their cronies deliberately stood on the periphery, in case they had any ears, "The world is impermanent, a person can't always be lucky, a person who is incapable of climbing to a high position will also be pulled off by others, but I don't know if it's you or me." ”

Lu Bu is still Lu Bu, and the arrogance and self-confidence in his heart are stronger than anyone else, "Of course it's me, you Zhang Xiang may not be able to get to that point, even if you are lucky enough to be one step ahead of me, I will kick you down." ”

Zhang Xiang: "Then I'll keep my eyes open and see, but I want to remind General Lu that the fight between us is only secondary, and the main thing is that person, don't make a mistake." ”

Lu Bu looked at Ding Yuan on the main seat, and felt unhappy for a while, "Don't worry, I know." "Zhang Xiang who wants to say it has already been said, and then it depends on who will succeed first, Zhang Xiang left Lu Bu's circle. (To be continued.) )
