Chapter 33: Recruiting the Rebels

Zhang Xiang looked at the corpses all over the ground, a few days ago they were just poor people, but now they have become big Han thieves, they ended up like this for a bite to eat, it's really sad and lamentable!

A Yellow Turban believer was lying among the corpses, his right chest was pierced by a sharp sword and was dying, he saw Zhang Xiang coming, still trying to hold the weapon next to him, his hand slowly approaching the handle of the weapon.

Zhang Xiang didn't understand what kind of mind it was, let these people be so desperate, Zhang Xiang pulled out the black lacquer sword and stabbed it hard, Zhang Xiang knew that he couldn't be soft-hearted, and if he wanted to become a big thing, he had to be ruthless.

Now it is early summer, the temperature is rising, Zhang Xiang doesn't want to have a plague because of these corpses, Zhang Xiang still remembers the scene of the plague last time, the last time Zhang Xiang can be said to be lucky, the big green dragon soup is just the right symptom, this time if it is a plague caused by corpses, Zhang Xiang will be out of line.

In order to avoid the occurrence of the plague incident, Zhang Xiang had to burn the corpse with a fire that hurt Tianhe, in fact, Zhang Xiang had done this before, but such a large-scale disposal of the corpse, Zhang Xiang was also encountered for the first time, and the most important thing was under the noses of the villagers.

Just when the fire in the cottage was extinguished, Zhang Xiang took advantage of this fire to dispose of the corpse, after Zhang Xiang burned the corpse, he found that the eyes of the villagers looking at him had changed, but there was a trace of awe in the previous love.

There is no need for Zhang Xiang to exist for the rest, because the cottage was burned, so Zhang Xiang could only rest in a large household in the township, Zhang Xiang lay down for a whole day, and Zhang Xiang didn't expect that commanding a battle would be so tiring.

Zhang Xiang has been waiting for the edict of Zhen Ti, the county commander of Zhuo County, and now the situation outside is very tense, Zhang Xiang does not dare to rashly lead troops to Zhuo County, he is also afraid that there will be any misunderstanding, which will affect the safety of Zhang Hao and others, after all, they are still in Zhuo County.

If Zhang Xiang was a spontaneous rebel army, he would not have taken this into account, but unfortunately Zhang Xiang was an official after all, although Zhang Xiang also formed a rebel army, but he still had to abide by some of the legal laws of the imperial court.

Zhang Xiang waited anxiously for three days, but he didn't expect to wait for Zhen Ti's edict, but waited for Liu Bei's news, from Zheng Gang's report Zhang Xiang knew that Liu Bei arrived in Linxian Fangcheng after leaving Zhuo County, after the Yellow Turban Uprising, Liu Bei also formed a righteous army, he got the support of Zhang Xiang's old rival Ma Jia, and there were also two fierce generals Ma Kui under his command, and a long-bearded red-faced man.

Zhang Xiang didn't need to guess to know that this person was Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, he didn't expect that Guan Yu would still be under Liu Bei in the end, Zhang Xiang was full of eyeliner in Zhuo County for Guan Yu, he didn't expect Guan Yu to go to Fangcheng, such a top general is really undemanding!

Liu Bei still showed his head, and the Ma family has recovered some vitality over the years, and this time in order to support Liu Bei, he used all his family funds to form a 500 righteous army for Liu Bei.

Liu Bei still bowed, but the third brother changed from Zhang Fei to Ma Kui, Ma Kui's skills Zhang Xiang still knows, Zhang Xiang also has to envy Liu Bei's good luck, and at the same time arouses Zhang Xiang's fighting spirit, Liu Bei, we will compare.

Then Zhang Xiang received an edict from Zhen Ti, asking him to take people to Zhuo County, Zhang Xiang immediately gathered his subordinates and went to Zhuo County, along the way Zhang Xiang saw too many tragedies, many Yellow Turban believers were crazy, Zhang Xiang brought out 800 people from Hou Wenxiang, leaving more than 200 people to guard the township, 800 people are also a lot of people, but those Yellow Turban believers regardless of the impact of Zhang Xiang's troops.

The banner of Zhang Xiang's righteous army is the Xiangfei Army, and along the way, Zhang Xiang's Xiangfei Army can be said to have arrived in Zhuo County on the corpse, and the county lieutenant of Zhuo County would have shot arrows if he didn't know Zhang Xiang.

Accumulation along the way, at this time the murderous spirit of Zhang Xiang's troops was already very high, Zhuo County opened the city gate, Zhang Xiang found that there were also some blood stains at the city gate, it seems that there were also some battles in Zhuo County.

Zhang Xiang is most worried about the safety of Zhang Hao and others, Zhang Xiang led people to hurry back to Zhang's house, and was relieved to see that Zhang Hao and others were safe and sound, "Father, what happened in Zhuo County these days?" ”

Zhang Hao: "Fortunately, only sporadic Yellow Turban believers in Zhuo County disturbed the county seat, Zhen Ti promptly ordered all big families to help the county guards govern the inner city, that is, we exterminated this Yellow Turban rebellion yesterday." ”

Zhang Xiang also understood why Zhen Ti's edict was so late, Zhang Xiang thought that Zhen Ti had suddenly become backbone? So that's the case, what was ordered in time I think it's a frightened bird.

Zhang Xiang saw that Zhang Hao was okay and went to find the county magistrate Zhen Ti, Zhen Ti was very enthusiastic when he saw Zhang Xiang, and hugged Zhang Xiang, Zhang Xiang at this time was a lifesaver in Zhen Ti's eyes.

From the mouth of the county lieutenant at the city gate, Zhen Ti learned that Zhang Xiang came with troops, and he didn't want to know how Zhang Xiang and these rebels came, and he didn't want to ask, Zhen Ti was born in a businessman and knew what to ask and what not to ask, and only foolish people could live for a long time.

Now Zhen Ti only knows that Zhang Xiang has the ability to protect him, which is enough, Zhang Xiang didn't expect Zhen Ti to be so enthusiastic, but it was really awkward to be hugged so tightly by a man, so Zhang Xiang pushed Zhen Ti away.

Zhen Ti also found that she had lost her temper just now, "Brother, you're back, don't you know that you've scared your brother these days, and your brother doesn't want to die!" My brother is old and young! ”

Zhang Xiang joked, "You just married a concubine last month?" ”

Zhen Ti: "That's it! Haven't you had enough of such a good life for my brother? It's all to blame on these yellow turban thieves. ”

Zhang Xiang: "Big brother, let's get down to business!" Did the county issue an edict for you to bring troops to support, and I still want to go out and lead troops to fight? ”

Zhen Ti: "That's not true, but I guess it's been a few days, brother and brother beg you for one thing, can you take your brother with you when you go to Zhuo County, I don't want to stay here." ”

Zhang Xiang: "Big brother, you are the county magistrate of Zhuoxian County!" It's not good to leave your job without permission! ”

Zhen Ti: "Brother, my brother doesn't want to hide it from you, I made this county order to make some money, but looking at the posture of the Yellow Turban Uprising, it shouldn't be able to be exterminated in a short time, there is no oil and water in Zhuo County now, and my brother might as well be a rich man in Zhuo County?" I don't want this official brother. ”

Since Zhen Ti said so, Zhang Xiang had no choice but to agree, Zhang Xiang had proposed to form a rebel army by the way, Zhen Ti asked Zhang Xiang of course would not object, and pasted a notice to recruit rebels in Zhuo County.

The people of the Han Dynasty were strong, and there were still many men who joined the rebel army, plus the land of Youzhou originally belonged to the land of Yan Zhao, so Zhang Fei called himself Yan Zhang Yide in history, Yan Zhao has been a generous and sad man since ancient times, and there are more people who participate in the rebel army.

It can be said that Zhang Xiang's recruitment of the rebels was very smooth, Zhen Ti also made some blood money, and the county provided some weapons, grain and grass, Zhang Xiang thought that the iron rooster had finally pulled out his teeth, and he wanted to laugh when he looked at Zhen Ti's bitter gourd face.

Zheng Fu, who was standing next to him, stabbed Zhang Xiang, "Son, I want to go home and tell my grandfather, I will also go out to fight with you." “

Zhang Xiang: "Old Man Zheng's temper is very hot, you are not afraid that you will not be able to come back if he beats him." “

Zheng Fu: "I'm afraid, but I'm afraid that I'm going to say that I don't want to fight iron, I want to fight, I want to be a general." "That's it! I'll go back with you! Zhang Xiang followed Zheng Fu back to the Zheng family's blacksmith assistant, and when Zheng Pu heard what Zheng Fu was going to do, he was angry and hurriedly looked for a stick and wanted to beat Zheng Fu.

Zheng Fu was motionless, standing there and letting Zheng Pu fight, Zheng Pu saw that this stupid boy was stubborn, so he stopped, "What do you know, is fighting a war fun?" Our Zheng family said that with this family business, even if you don't learn to strike iron, you can ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, so why bother to fight for it? “

Zheng Fu: "Grandpa, I don't know anything, but I admire Gongzi's personality, why can't I go to war if he can go to war." “

Zheng Pu: "You stupid can still compare with Zhang Gongzi, Zhang Gongzi is here to seek a rich future, can you?" “

Zheng Fu: "I don't want to be a big official, can't I follow my son to be a small official?" Zheng Pu was choked by Zheng Fu's words, and Zhang Xiang also found that this kid was not stupid!

Zheng Pu saw that Zheng Fu had made up his mind, "That's it, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren." “

Zheng Pu went to the inner room again and took out a stick and two pieces of armor, "You are the only seedling of my Zheng family, be careful when you go to the battlefield, this stick and armor were prepared for you before, I didn't expect to use them." “

Zhang Xiang: "Master Zheng, Zheng Fu is by my side, you can rest assured!" I'll protect him. “

Zheng Pu: "Then thank you Zhang Gongzi, this armor was passed on to me by my master, you should wear it very suitably and give it to you!" You must take good care of my stupid grandson. “

The genes of the Zhang family are very good, Zhang Xiang is only fourteen years old and has a height of one meter seven, Zhang Fei is even more scary with a height of one meter eight and five, not to mention that the armor that Zheng Pu gave to Zhang Xiang is really suitable.

The original Zhang Xiang still had some literati atmosphere, and after putting on the armor, he was more heroic, a handsome little Langjun, Zhang Xiang walked on the street and made the girls in Zhuo County frequently look sideways.

After Zhang Fei saw Zhang Xiang, he said sourly, "They are all brothers, why is the gap so big?" Of course, Zhang Fei was just joking, but when he saw Zheng Fu behind him, he couldn't take his eyes off.

Zhang Xiang's armor is very exquisite, but it does not meet Zhang Fei's aesthetics, the armor on Zheng Fu's body is different, it is the iron armor specially worn by military generals, and the majestic and greedy Zhang Fei is about to drool.

Zhang Fei: "Apprentice, take off your armor and let the teacher try it." “

Zheng Fu: "No. “

Zhang Fei: "Then I'm going to beat you." “

Zheng Fu: "I'm not coming back if I wear it for you." “

Zhang Fei: "How is that possible? “

Zheng Fu: "Wipe your saliva dry." “

Zhang Xiang was also in the mood to watch these two people play live treasures, Zhang Xiang looked at the righteous soldiers who were recruited, and he couldn't say how happy he was, and roared in his heart, "I'm Zhang Xiang here in troubled times." “
