Chapter 8 Carrying the Tiger Skin and Wearing the Banner

"What do you have to do with General He?" Almost at the same time, Qin Shuo bounced up from his seat and exclaimed.

"The ancestors are just a little related by blood." This time, it was He Chen's turn to speak lightly, as if he did not eat the fireworks of the world, a typical pretend. Because he knows that there are some things that need to leave some space for the other party to reverie, and he can't say it too thoroughly, otherwise the effect will be much worse.

Sure enough, Qin Shuo, who had always been shrewd, was a little frightened, his eyes kept rolling, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

In fact, there is no need for Qin Shuo to say it, He Chen also guessed in his heart.

If you want to say Wancheng, it can be said that it has a long history and is full of famous families. Not to mention far away, let's just say that in recent decades, the Wen and Zhu families have gone hand in hand, and there are many direct sons and daughters who have come out to take up positions, and there are countless tenants of good land in Wancheng. Although the Zhang family and the Huang family are gradually declining, Yu Wei is still there. But if you want to say that there is a lot of limelight for a while, it should be regarded as the He family.

The He family was not a big family at the beginning, but a few decades ago, the He family produced a talent, and his name was He Zhen.

He Zhen started by slaughtering pigs and dogs when he was young, he is dexterous, exquisite, known as chivalrous, and usually likes to make friends with heroes. Soon, he gained a firm foothold in Wancheng, and then He Zhen joined forces with the local clans to run various businesses such as cloth, salt, and even grain, and the family business gradually expanded. Because of He Zhen's hard work and diligence, coupled with his decent behavior, he was soon favored by the Zhu family and married. With the support of the Zhu family's huge wealth and connections, the He family has since become one of the richest in Wancheng. If that's all, all of He Zhen's achievements should not be praised by people. The most commendable thing he did was to frantically pour out the wealth of the He family and fight for the monstrous wealth - to help his daughter be selected as a good family to the court.

He Zhen first bribed the palace officials with a lot of money, and his eldest daughter was selected to become a palace maid, and then used his family's wealth to bribe Guo Sheng, a regular servant in the same county in the palace, and others. Under this arrangement, He Nu was often favored by the Son of Heaven, and finally with the help of Zhang Rang and others, He Nu successfully gave birth to a dragon son, that is, Liu Wei.

Then the rest of the matter came naturally, He Nu was set up as a nobleman, after a period of conspiracy in the East Palace, and finally ascended to the queen, the mother of the world. And He Zhen's eldest son, He Jin, also entered the court as an official as a relative, and rose step by step, and finally worshiped the general. Since then, the East Palace has the support of the queen, and there are ten permanent attendants in the middle to take care of it, and they hold heavy troops outside. And naturally the tide rises, and the He family is more powerful in Wancheng, and no one can shake it. Even if it is the Wen and Zhu families, when they see the people of the He family, they must speak well. Not to mention Qin Shuo, an outsider. If you want to be a Taishou in Nanyang County safely and steadily, you must pass the pass of the He family. Otherwise, you are ready to roll up the quilt and leave.

Qin Shuo thought about it for a long time, and he had already put on a smiling face, and said with a caring face: "He Zhuangshi found out such important news, and then abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, it is really a high wind and bright festival, which makes Qin Mou admire it." ”

"Thank you for the compliment, you deserve it." He Chen also replied with a bright smile. At the same time, he secretly "bah" in his heart, he was really an old fox who saw the wind and steered the rudder. As soon as he saw that he was involved with the He family, he immediately changed his face.

Qin Shuo's expression hesitated slightly, and then he said softly, "Lord He, is your body okay now?" ”

"Go back to Taishou, I just returned to Wancheng after I died." He Chen's answer was not leaky.

Qin Shuo was stunned, and secretly hated in his heart, he was really a little fox, but his expression was a little embarrassed: "It seems that this matter should be prepared in advance." He Zhuangshi, you did a good job. Ben Taishou said that he would reward you heavily. I just don't know what strengths a strong man has? It's also good to let Ben Taishou make arrangements. ”

"There is nothing special about the pawn, and the bow and arrow are more accurate than others." He Chen's smile was even brighter.

"So good, there is a vacancy in the army, I don't know what the strong man thinks?" Qin Shuo was also ruthless, reluctant to let the child catch the wolf. In case this person really has something to do with the He family, it can be regarded as a lot of bargaining chips for the He family. Even if it's not, you can take it down at any time and ask for guilt at any time.

"Everything will be arranged by Qin Taishou." He Chen was overjoyed in his heart, but the expression on his face remained the same, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger has always been what He Dashao likes, and the pleasure of yin people has always been innate.

"That's very good, here's somebody." Qin Shuo let out a loud shout.

"Yes." The guard at the door yelled and stepped in.

"Lead this strong man to Qin Ding, enter the register and make plates, the official to the military marquis, and eat a hundred loads."

"Yes, sir."

Then stand down. Ben Taishou also has to prepare. ”

"Thank you, Lord Taishou, that pawn will retire first." Seeing that it was done, He Chen hurriedly thanked him, and then prepared to leave.

"Yes, go ahead." Qin Shuo waved his hand.

"By the way, Lord Taishou, I just returned to Wancheng, and I still have some private matters that I want to deal with, so please ask for your permission." Walking to the door, He Chen suddenly stopped, turned around and bowed his head.

"Well, then when you finish handling your personal affairs, you will serve in the county."

"Thank you, sir." He Chen typically eats cheaper and sells better.

Watching He Chen disappear at the door of the lobby, Qin Shuo slowly stomped back and forth, originally smiling, but in an instant, it was gloomy and uncertain, and Tie Qing was terrifying. "Someone." Qin Shuo stopped, raised his head and shouted.

"Yes."

"Go and invite Zhang Duwei immediately, and General Zhu will come over to discuss important matters."

"No."

"Qin Jing."

"The end will be."

"After that kid is registered, you will immediately send a few capable people to touch the details of this kid for me."

"Understood, Taishou-sama."

After ordering this, Qin Shuo let out a sullen breath, and then muttered: "Zhao Ci, Zhao Ci, it's best to hope that what the kid said is false, otherwise you just wait to lose your head." ”

Not to mention that Qin Shuo was meditating hard there, He Chen left the group mansion, got on the horse, and then quickly returned to the inn.

returned to the room, closed the door, and suddenly let out a long howl in Liao Hua's concerned and inquiring gaze, so as to vent the excitement in his heart. The guests in the next room were indignant and protested.

Seeing this, Liao Hua understood a little in his heart, but he still couldn't help but ask out loud: "Brother Chen, is the matter done?" ”

He Chen hugged Liao Hua's broad shoulders with both hands, shook it for a long time, and then laughed wildly: "Not bad." That's it. From today onwards, your brother Chen will become He Junhou hahaha. ”

Liao Hua said with excitement on his face: "Brother Chen is really powerful, he has become a military marquis in a blink of an eye." ”

He Chen's mouth was about to crack to the root of his ears, his eyes narrowed even more, he waved his big hand, and said extremely shamelessly: "It doesn't matter if the military marquis is not a military marquis, I am happy that I have finally entered the establishment, and it will be much easier to act in the future." ”

"What's next?" Liao Hua asked softly.

"I will go to He Mansion, the Zhu family, the Wen family and other big families tomorrow." He Chen said.

"What are you doing there?" Liao Hua was a little puzzled.

"Zhao Ci will raise troops in a few days, and he will be able to reach Wancheng in about half a decade, I will go and inform them first, so that they can prepare to go out as soon as possible to take refuge."

"What if the Shi family doesn't believe it?" Liao Hua was a little worried.

"Hehe, although the Shi family is high-flying, it is a matter of the clan, and they will definitely be concerned. Even if they don't believe me, they will still have to accept my affection. He Chen said confidently.

Liao Hua pondered for a while, and the joints were obvious.

According to He Chen's plan, he wanted to use the innate advantages he had crossed over to use them as much as possible before he began to incite the butterfly wings. Convincing Qin Shuo was only the first step in the start of the plan; The second step is to make good use of his surname "He", even if it involves the seven aunts and eight aunts, it must also be related to the He family. Not to mention, He Chen deliberately went back to his hometown and found out that the owner of the original body was really related to the He family. The third step is to work hard to make friends with the major famous families in Nanyang County, and win the support of Wancheng for himself in the future.

For now, the previous plan has been perfectly executed, and then wait for Zhao Ci to come and muddy the water in Wancheng in the morning.

"Ding, ding" At this moment, the system's prompt suddenly sounded in He Chen's mind: "Since the host's official rank is promoted to a military marquis, the system automatically generates martial arts skills, please choose." Three more boxes appeared in my brain: they were "Ambush Formation", "Thunderbolt Gun", and "Tiger Roar".

He Chen thought about it for a while, according to the Three Kingdoms Heroes series, there are less than a dozen soldiers in an "ambush squad formation", and at present, there is no big effect. And the "Thunderbolt Gun" is a skill developed after the Legend of the Three Kingdoms 7, this skill is very good in terms of the use of the effect, not only can greatly increase the force in a short period of time, but also has the chance to trigger the "Thunderbolt Whirlwind", which is a range of group attack skills, and the power is not small. Although the last "Tiger Roar" is also an area kill, it is only overall and is much less powerful than the Thunderbolt.

Without thinking too much, He Chen chose the "Thunderbolt" skill.

With this skill, He Chen became more confident about what was going to happen.

In the third year of Zhongping, at the end of February 186 AD, Zhao Ci of Jiangxia County raised an army against the Han Dynasty, and Xiling, Yixian, Qichun, and Xia Pheasant responded one after another. Zhao Ci called himself the "Great General", and gathered 50,000 or 60,000 people at one time. Then the soldiers were divided into two routes, one route was led by Zhao Ci personally through the Xiangjiang River, out of Fancheng, north to Shuishui, and finally to Wannan; The other route is He Le out of Xiangyang, go to Xinye, and go straight to Wancheng. Everywhere they passed, they killed, burned, looted, and plundered. Although the county soldiers in various places struggled to resist, but due to the suddenness of the incident, and the soldiers were outnumbered, in less than 20 days, the rebels had been killed in Nanyang County, and finally they would be in Wancheng.

Although Qin Shuo was prepared, more than half of the county soldiers were transferred to encircle and suppress the remaining Yellow Turban Party, and they couldn't defend for a while.

On the one hand, Qin Shuo ordered the city gate to be closed and not out, and on the other hand, he quickly whipped Chang'an, reported the military situation, and asked for reinforcements.

That knew that Wancheng had already been buried, and there were rebels infiltrating, and the city gate was stolen in the middle of the night, and the rebels poured in. That night, Nanyang Taishou Qin Shuo was hit by a stray arrow, and then the rebels captured him, and finally beheaded by Zhao Ci with a knife. And the He family, the Zhu family and other wealthy families, after getting He Chen's news early in the morning, and after a few days of confirmation, the core members of the major families immediately went to the countryside to avoid trouble.

Zhao Ci raised troops, Qin Shuo was killed, the Central Plains shook, and the government and the opposition were shocked. This is the first time since the third year of Han Yanxi (160 AD) that the peasant uprising of Mount Tai has participated in such a high-level general. This made the already crumbling Han family even more stormy and discredited.

And at this time, our handsome guy He Chen was holding the majesty of the military marquis, constantly gathering the defeated army and gathering military horses.
