Chapter 54: Emperor Ling of Han and Zhang Rang
"Oh? This is true, but someone has accused him of being passive in the war before. Emperor Han Ling said.
"As far as Weichen knows, General Lu Zhi is not fighting passively, but is only building engineering facilities, digging trenches, and preparing for the siege. General Lu Zhi has no fault! Please enlighten my emperor. Huangfu Song said.
Huangfu Song pacified the Yellow Turban Army, and Emperor Ling of Han was greatly pleased. At this time, he felt that Huangfu Song was quite pleasing to the eye, and he couldn't bear to refuse his request. So he ordered: "Release Lu Zhi and reinstate the official." ”
"Who else are the heroes of this battle?" Emperor Han Ling asked again.
Huangfu Song introduced Wang Jin, Liu Yuan, Shi Jin, Meng Shu, Zhu Wu and others one by one.
After hearing their merits, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was greatly relieved and said: "Wang Jin, Liu Yuan, and Shi Jin were all named four-rank generals, and Meng Shu and Zhu Wu were named five-rank generals. Wang Jin, Shi Jin, and Liu Yuan were appointed as county guards, and I will consider the specific place of office, and try to choose it within the jurisdiction of Jizhou. The rewards for the rest of the people will be announced separately. ”
Everyone hurriedly thanked them.
After Huangfu Song and the others left, Zhang Rang, the head of the Ten Standing Attendants, walked to Emperor Han Ling's side and said softly, "Where does Your Majesty want to go?" The minions arrange it for you. ”
"Let's set up the hall of acacia." Emperor Han Ling said.
"No." Zhang Rang agreed and ordered people to prepare.
"You heard it just now, and the three people under the command of Emperor Fu Song are the county guards. How do you think the place of appointment should be chosen, and how should they all be arranged in Jizhou and continue to serve under the jurisdiction of Huangfu Song? Emperor Han Ling asked.
"The merits of the three should be crowned as Taishou. But according to the foolish opinion of the slaves, it is better not to seal them in Jizhou. Zhang Rang's eyes rolled and said.
"Oh? Why? Emperor Han Ling asked.
"Huangfu Song made this great achievement, and his reputation was unparalleled for a while. The generals under his command were all brought out by him, and he had a close relationship with him. If you put it under his command for a long time, I am afraid it will be disadvantageous! "Zhang let the point stop.
Emperor Han Ling's eyes were slightly misty, and then he fell into deep thought.
Seeing Emperor Han Ling's reaction, Zhang Rang was secretly happy. Huangfu Song Lao'er, dare to refuse to confess to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu can't move you for the time being, but how many of your subordinates are still captured?
Emperor Han Ling thought about it for a long time before he said slowly: "Then how do you think I should arrange these three people?" ”
"According to the slave's humble opinion, these three people are capable people and should be put to good use. For example, Yan Baihu, who was born as a bandit, took advantage of the Yellow Turban Uprising to gather tens of thousands of soldiers, occupy Wu County privately, and disobeyed orders. The officials sent by the imperial court were all sent back by him. If His Majesty appoints one of them as the Taishou of Wu County, send some soldiers to him. He will definitely share His Majesty's worries and solve the problem of Yan Baihu. Zhang said.
"You are really like my father, and you can plan for me everywhere." Emperor Han Ling said. After listening to Zhang Rang's words, he suddenly had a number in his heart.
If it is an ordinary minion, he must be scared half to death when he hears his master say this. But Zhang Rang was just modest for a couple of sentences.
What's going on? In fact, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty has said in public many times: "Zhang Changshi is my father." "His affection for Zhang Rang is unimaginable.
A few days later, Huangfu Song, Liu Yuan, Wang Jin, and Shi Jin got together.
"It's so hateful, I said that we would be arranged to Jizhou, and as a result, General Liu was appointed as the Taishou of Wujun, the apprentice was appointed as the Taishou of Tianshui, and I was appointed as the Taishou of Xiangping. It's all remote or non-existent. I didn't go to Xiangping alive or dead, I followed General Huangfu all my life. Wang Jin was indignant.
"Calm down, General Wang. I'll talk to the above again, it's just gossip, the appointment of the imperial court hasn't come down yet, and everything still has a chance. Huangfu Song said.
"Hmph, no matter what, I also have to follow Master and General Huangfu." Shi Jindao.
Liu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I think this matter is strange, maybe someone is obstructing it." ”
"It should be those eunuchs. A few days ago, Zhang Rang asked me for a bribe, but I sternly refused. It is possible for him to slander His Majesty. Huangfu Song said.
"If that's the case, even if General Huangfu faces the saint again, it will be difficult to change the saint's decision." Liu Yuandao.
"Isn't it okay if we don't keep too close? Master and I have been serving under General Huangfu ever since. Shi Jindao.
"Yes, General, you can talk to Your Majesty, say that our ability is not enough to be a Taishou, so I will follow you to serve." Wang Jindao.
"Are you really just giving up your position too much? No matter how many people want to ask for this position, they can't ask for it! Even me, if I didn't have the opportunity of the Yellow Turban Uprising, I would just be too guarded. Huangfu Song asked.
"The general has the grace of knowing me, without the general, how can I get today's Wang Jin? I will assist the general for the rest of my life. Wang Jin said.
"Master has cultivated me with kindness, and General Huangfu has a good trust in me, and I won't be the Taishou of Nalaoshzi." Shi Jindao.
"Well, since you have made up your mind, I will not hinder you. I know you don't care about glory and riches, and I don't promise anything. Wang Jin, you are my favorite general, but I have always treated you as a brother. If you don't dislike it, we will marry Jinlan. In this case, Shi Jin, you are my son and nephew. What do you think? Huangfu Song said.
"Adults don't think we're climbing, so how can we refuse. From today on, you are my eldest brother, and Shi Jin is your nephew. Wang Jin said.
Of course, Shi Jin could not object.
So, under the witness of Liu Yuan and Shi Jin, Huangfu Song and Wang Jin bowed. The ceremony is very simple, but in Liu Yuan's opinion, the righteousness of the two is not inferior to the Taoyuan alliance.
After the swearing ceremony, the eyes of the three of them were focused on Liu Yuan.
"Brother-in-law, what are your plans? Do you want to be that Wu Jun Taishou? Shi Jin asked first.
Liu Yuanxin said, I can't do you so freely, I still have a great cause to complete.
"Brother Shi, I won't tell you anything, I really want to go to Wu County to give it a try." Liu Yuandao.
In this atmosphere, facing the three people in front of him, Liu Yuan couldn't say hypocritical words such as "Kuang Fu Han Room". To be blunt, at least it doesn't cause them to feel bad.
"Good! I heard that Wu County was occupied by Yan Baihu and did not obey the order. General Liu is here, if he can recover Wu County for the imperial court, it will be another great achievement. I can help you get 5,000 more soldiers and horses to help you. If you have any other requirements, you can tell me now, and I will help you fight for it. Huangfu Song said.
Liu Yuan was a little moved at this time. He is leaving, and Huangfu Song, as his boss, still thinks about himself like this.
Since Huangfu Song was so helpful, Liu Yuan couldn't live up to this kindness.
So, he said: "I heard that Zhongmu County has made Chen Gong outstanding, and I want to recruit him to go to Wu County with me." ”
Chen Gong is now just a small county order, and it is not too easy to get him through the imperial court. The other generals, Liu Yuan didn't know the specific location of their appearance, so he couldn't operate it, so he could only give up.
Liu Yuan is too familiar with Chen Gong, and anyone who has read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms knows the repertoire of catching and releasing Cao.
Chen Gong is a scheming bull, who has helped Lu Bu crush Cao Cao's attacks many times, and even has the upper hand. If it weren't for Lu Bu's final refusal to listen to his advice, there might not have been the defeat of Baimenlou.
He is likely to be a first-class strategist, if he gets him, Liu Yuan may have the first first-level general!
It's just a county order to be recruited, and Huangfu Song agreed without thinking.
Two days later, a person found Liu Yuan, claimed to be Zhang Rang's personal entourage, and informed him to go to see him.
Although it was an accident, Liu Yuan still went. No way, although Zhang Rang's good days are not long, he still can't be offended. The villain is the most dangerous, and he is often retribution, and Huangfu Song is a lesson from the past.
Under the guidance of his personal entourage, Liu Yuan quickly walked into a room.
Zhang Rang sat leisurely in the chair, his eyes slightly closed, not angry but threatening.
Liu Yuan bowed slightly and said softly: "Liu Yuan pays a visit to Lord Zhongchang." ”
"Hmm." Zhang Rang opened his eyes and said slowly, "Are you going to accept the position of Wu Jun Taishou?" Emperor Fu Song has done a lot for you in the past two days. ”
"As General Yingyang, my subordinates have been deeply favored by the emperor, if I can be allowed to be the Taishou of Wu County, I will definitely thank the Holy Lord and the Lord Zhongchang for their kindness, bow to the best, and die." Liu Yuandao.
"You're a sensible man, but you're talking too much. What's the use of dying? I want you to live well, so that you can share your worries for Your Majesty. Zhang said.
"Yes, Xie Zhong Chang taught. I will definitely live well so that I can share the worries of Your Majesty and Lord Zhongchang. Liu Yuandao.
