Chapter 024: Expanding Power

Seeing that no one answered, Zhang Bao couldn't help but be curious: "Yo! What's going on? Blatantly disobeying my orders? ”

"The subordinates don't dare!" This time, the hundred guards replied neatly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhang Bao smiled when he heard this: "Is this right, who told me what is going on." ”

Hearing this, Li San said directly and loudly: "Lord, brothers are reluctant to leave you. ”

Zhang Bao smiled when she heard this: "It's a good thing to be an official!" The brothers are still reluctant one by one! What does this have to do with leaving me, can this be a piece of it? You explain to me: what the hell is going on? ”

"My lord, my subordinates are worried that after leaving you, they will only have coarse tea and light food every day. There is no idea of disobedience to orders from subordinates. I hope your understanding will be met. One of the guards said loudly.

Zhang Bao suddenly realized when he heard this: "Yo! I said, I see. This is easy to do, and in the future, as long as there are 100 commanders and above officers in the army, they can dine with my personal guards. As long as I am here, you can come to eat, I welcome it! Moreover, the hundred-man man is half as tall as the guard. Is this satisfying? ”

"Satisfied!" This time, a hundred people shouted in unison.

Zhang Bao smiled when he heard this: "Brothers, I arranged you to be the head of a hundred people, hoping that you can help my father master this force as soon as possible." Train your subordinates more on weekdays, and strive to equip them with a certain combat effectiveness as soon as possible. Those of you who perform well will be promoted to the rank of commander of a thousand men in the future, general. After you take office, all the commanders and ten chiefs under your command will be appointed by you. Do you understand my painstaking efforts? ”

"My subordinates understand!" The hundred people said in unison again.

Zhang Bao then looked at Zhang Fei, and Zhang Fei looked at Bai Dao with satisfaction: "Brothers, because our legion has 13,000 people, each of you will command 130 brothers. Alright, let's go take in those recruits now. ”

After Zhang Fei finished speaking, he left with 100 people. Zhang Bao said to the remaining four hundred guards: "The first two columns will go back to prepare, and you will return to Donglai City with me after eating at noon." The rest of the people continued to stay here and obey orders. ”

"Yes!" Everyone took the order in unison.

After lunch, Zhang Bao submitted his resignation to Zhang Fei and Sun Lianyun, and then he left with 200 guards.

After Zhang Bao returned to Donglai City, he received good news from Hou Da: Guan Yu had defeated the Beihai Yellow Turban Army three days ago, captured more than 80,000 people, and all the rest fled to the territory of Qi County. Guan Yu considered the stability of Beihai County, so he did not continue to catch up.

Zhang Bao was very happy after receiving the news, and he laughed and said to Hou Dadao after the meeting: "Brother Hou has worked hard. I'll write another letter, and I'll ask you to make another trip and pass it on to my master. ”

Hou Da hugged his fists when he heard this: "Subordinates obey orders!" Thank you for your concern. ”

Zhang Bao then took out the pen and ink and wrote crookedly: Hello Master: The apprentice has received your good news. Disciple's suggestion: Next, you will select more than 10,000 young men from the 80,000 captives to form a new legion. And a hundred people from the Zhang family's personal guards were recruited to fill the new legion as the commander of the hundred, so that the master could quickly control this force. The leader of the thousand people is appointed by the master himself. The remaining captives were disarmed and returned to the fields. Worship in vain.

After Zhang Bao finished writing very hard, he rolled up the bamboo slips and handed them to Hou Da: "Hou Da, tell my master: my handwriting is ugly, I hope he will forgive me." ”

At that moment, Zhang Bao told Hou Da the gist of his writing to avoid misunderstanding because Guan Yu couldn't understand it.

Hou Da took the bamboo slip and smiled slightly, then hugged Zhang Bao and saluted before turning around and leaving.

A few days later, Guan Yu reported: 15,000 people were reorganized.

Zhang Bao was very satisfied with this.

The next month or so was relatively uneventful.

Although Zhang Bao has enjoyed a month, he knows very well what he is facing next. Because there is news: first, the court proclamation: arrest the traitor Cao Cao; Second, Yuan Shao raised troops in Jizhou.

The first news was accompanied by the fact that Cao Cao went to Dong Zhuo's mansion alone and tried to assassinate Dong Zhuo but failed. Dong Zhuo was furious when he found out and issued this wanted notice.

Zhang Bao smiled slightly after receiving these news: "Should you come or come!" Cao Cao, this guy is about to make a fortune! Yuan Shao is also about to rise! Not good! ”

Zhang Bao stood up suddenly, and after thinking for a moment, he came to the topographic map of Qingzhou hanging in the room.

"Fortunately, there is Le'an County across it, and I haven't bordered Yuan Shao yet. Will Yuan Shao, an arrogant guy, come up and target me first in the future? Zhang Bao looked at the map and had a bad premonition.

After Zhang Bao was afraid of Yuan Shao in his heart, he began to think hard about the best way to deal with Yuan Shao: Yuan Shao is not the Yellow Turban Army, and the Hebei four under his command are more powerful than the other! And the strategists are like clouds! How should I deal with my relationship with Yuan Shao?

Zhang Bao faced this problem, thought about it for more than ten days, and had no good plan, so he had to give up temporarily.

In mid-December, Zhang Bao, who was practicing martial arts, suddenly received a report from Li San: "My lord, Cao Cao sent an envoy to ask for a meeting." ”

Zhang Bao smiled when she heard this: "Got it, let the messenger wait in the lobby for a while, and I'll go." ”

After Li San left, Zhang Bao smiled in his heart: Is the coalition army crusading against Dong Zhuo? I've been waiting for this moment for a long time! This is a great opportunity for me to make friends with the heroes of the world, how could I miss it?

After Zhang Bao changed into new clothes, he met Cao Cao's envoy in the lobby accompanied by the guards.

The visitor was a middle-aged man in his fifties, dressed as a refugee. When he saw Zhang Bao, he hugged his fists and said, "Meet Zhang Taishou." ”

Seeing this, Zhang Bao smiled and said, "Are you really Cao Cao's messenger?" ”

Hearing this, the visitor clasped his fists and replied: "Yes, Zhang Taishou." The reason why I dressed up like this is because the other counties in Qingzhou are really not peaceful, and I have to do it as a last resort, and the things entrusted by my lord are too anxious, so I didn't change my clothes and came to see Zhang Taishou. There is no disrespect for Zhang Taishou in the slightest, and I hope that Zhang Taishou will forgive me. ”

Zhang Bao waved his hand when he heard this: "Since I am the messenger of Cao Gong, or quickly pass on Cao Gong's words, I will not care about these details." ”

Hearing this, the visitor took out a roll of bamboo slips from his arms and handed it to Li San, who handed it to Zhang Bao.

Zhang Bao opened the bamboo slip and looked at it, and sure enough, it was Cao Cao who invited him to participate in the battle of the princes' alliance and the battle against Dong. Although the above is sprinkled, Zhang Bao only understands the gist of it.

Zhang Bao put away the bamboo slips and said with a smile: "Okay, go back and tell Cao Gong, first of all, show Cao Gong my admiration for him on my behalf." Secondly, tell Cao Gong that I, Zhang Bao, will definitely bring 10,000 troops to participate in the alliance on time. ”

The envoy hugged his fists and said, "Okay, I will definitely convey Zhang Taishou's words to my father-in-law." In the next farewell. ”

Zhang Bao nodded when he heard this: "Li San, send the messenger for me, and see what the envoy needs, and try to meet him." ”

"Yes, my lord!" After Li San received the order, he sent the messenger away,

After leaving, Zhang Bao had nothing to do: The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and I have been here for almost two years, and I am thirteen years old. It's been two years, and the historical star has only gotten three and a half people. Zhang Fei is still my father, and he can only be counted as two and a half people: Guan Yu, Dian Wei and Guan Hai, Guan Hai can only be counted as half! Alas! My luck is really not ordinarily bad! But then is the era of heroes, and those unfamous generals will soon play their own piece of the sky. It's time to dominate the world!

"Alas! Hua Xiong is a famous general! It would be great if the alliance could find a way to take him this time! Is it just possible? No way! I've got to try to figure it out! These historical cattle are one less dead. Now no one has taken the initiative to take refuge in me, and if I don't cherish what I encountered, how will I continue to mix it up in the future. So in the future, as long as I have heard of famous historical generals, as long as I can meet them, I must find a way to win them over. Zhang Bao couldn't help muttering after thinking of Hua Xiong.

Zhang Bao then thought: In history, Huaxiong was the first vanguard of Dong Zhuo's army, and he was killed by Sun Jian or Guan Yu! After he led the troops over this time, he must find a way to save Hua Xiong.

"It's not ordinary! If they save Hua Xiong, the enemy army will definitely not easily abandon their commander, and the coalition forces will not allow an enemy commander to live. And Hua Xiong won't necessarily surrender to me. It's hard, it's hard! It's really not ordinary to subdue Huaxiong! Zhang Bao sighed quietly again.

Zhang Bao couldn't think of a good way, so he simply stopped thinking about it and went to the back hall to practice martial arts alone.
