Chapter 55: See Chen Gong
Regarding Liu Yuan's words, Zhang Rang was noncommittal. He continued: "Huangfu Song wants to raise five thousand soldiers for you, but if I don't agree, he won't succeed. Do you believe it? ”
"How dare your subordinates not believe what your adults say? Even His Majesty calls the Lord his father, what else in the world can't do with the Lord? Liu Yuandao.
"Well, the son can be taught! Since you have chosen Wujun Taishou, in the future, you will have to part ways with Huangfu Song. I have something here, I don't know if you want it? Zhang Rang took out a scroll from his sleeve, opened it, and placed it in front of Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan saw that it was a secret decree written by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. The general meaning is that Liu Yuan was named the backbone general of the four grades, led the Wu County Taishou, led 20,000 troops, and exterminated Yan Baihu.
"I don't know what the Lord of the Middle Chamberlain commands?" Liu Yuandao.
"You sign your name on this, that's it." After Zhang Rang finished speaking, he took out a booklet from his arms, and wrote the words "Letter of Allegiance".
The allegiance is no joke. You Zhang Rang fell in a year, and if I swore allegiance to you at this time, wouldn't I be a fool? Liu Yuan didn't dare to play anymore.
"Lord Nakatsune, this seems a little inappropriate, right?" Liu Yuandao.
"Huh?" Zhang Rang stared at Liu Yuan coldly.
Liu Yuan looked at him calmly.
"It's not early, General Liu Yuan must be tired, send off!" After a moment, Zhang Rang closed his eyes and said no more.
Liu Yuan puffed up his chest and walked out of the room slowly.
"I don't know how to lift!" Zhang Rang scolded in a low voice.
After a conversation with Zhang Rangxu and the snake, Liu Yuan did not have the slightest pressure. But when it comes to allegiance, there is not the slightest possibility. It was impossible for Liu Yuan to be in league with the notorious Ten Standing Servants, let alone already knowing that they were doomed.
After leaving Zhang Rang, Liu Yuan went non-stop to see Huangfu Song and reported the significance of his meeting with Zhang Rang.
Two days later, the holy decree came down, and Liu Yuan was named the general of Sipin Jianwei and led the Wu County Taishou. There was no mention of sending troops to Liu Yuan in the holy decree.
General Sipin Jianwei is a miscellaneous general, and his status is not as good as the backbone general written on the secret decree presented by Zhang Rang.
Shi Jin was named General Sipin Zhenwei, and Wang Jin was named General Sipin Fenwei, both of which were Sipin miscellaneous generals. Due to the operation of Huangfu Song, the two were not named Taishou and still served under him.
Due to Zhang Rang's obstruction, Huangfu Song did not get a single soldier for Liu Yuan, and in anger, he decided to directly draw 5,000 soldiers and horses from his command to give to Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan refused to accept it, and Huangfu Song must give it. In the end, Liu Yuan received 3,000 soldiers and horses.
For this, Liu Yuan is very grateful. If you don't have soldiers, how can you take office? Plea with Yan Baihu? Or take your own 200 private soldiers to attack the city?
Two days later, Liu Yuan received a report that Chen Gong had arrived in Zhongmu County.
Although he didn't help Liu Yuan gather enough soldiers, the most critical thing was done by Huangfu Song. Liu Yuan was overjoyed and personally met with Chen Gong.
"Chen Gong meets General Jianwei." As soon as he saw Liu Yuan, Chen Gong immediately saluted.
"Excuse me, excuse me! I have long heard of the talents of the public station, and now I use the convenience of my position to recruit the public station to my command, so don't be surprised. Liu Yuan hurriedly helped Chen Gong up.
Chen Gong raised his head at the opportunity, and after glancing at Liu Yuan, he withdrew his gaze and said respectfully: "The humble function is appreciated by the general, and the three lives are fortunate, the general must not torture Chen Gong." ”
In fact, before coming to see Liu Yuan, Chen Gong was full of doubts. He is a small county order, and his reputation is not obvious, how did Liu Yuan know about it? Recruit yourself, what medicine is sold in his gourd?
However, whether you want to come or not, it is difficult to disobey your fate. So after seeing Liu Yuan, Chen Gong was careful everywhere.
Seeing the legendary Chen Palace, Liu Yuan certainly had to take a good look.
At this time, Chen Gong was in his prime, dressed as a Confucian student, his bright eyes flashed with wisdom, and although his attitude was extremely respectful, Liu Yuan could see that it was the signature performance of the subordinates after seeing their superiors.
Liu Yuan took the opportunity to check the attributes of Chen Gong.
"A first-class strategist, whose abilities are unknown."
Sure enough, it's a first-class strategist! Liu Yuan was excited.
"I'm very happy to be here. Now I am appointing Gongtai as my commander-in-chief, I don't know what to do? Liu Yuan asked.
"The Chief Military Division?" Chen Gong couldn't believe his ears. Rao is concentration is good, but he still can't control it, and shouts out.
"Yes, I admire Gongtai's talent very much, and he is fully qualified to be my chief military division." Liu Yuan said firmly.
"The subordinates are terrified! The position of chief military division has a heavy responsibility, and the talents of his subordinates may not be able to do it. Chen Gong said.
The more Liu Yuan praised him, the more he didn't dare to accept it, and he didn't know what medicine Liu Yuan was selling in his gourd.
A person you don't know before, suddenly lifts you, and anyone will beat the drum in their hearts.
Liu Yuan also had to do this because of the urgency of time. If you don't use this method, you can't get Chen Gong at all. After waiting for another two or three years, Chen Gong followed Cao Cao.
First-class strategist, how could Liu Yuan let it go?
Looking at Chen Gong like this, Liu Yuan didn't have a good way. Chen Gong's strategy is much higher than his own, fighting wits? Not his opponent at all.
Hum! In that case, I'm going to overwhelm people with power!
Liu Yuan's face sank, and he said: "Don't be modest anymore, it's so decided, I will hire you as the chief military division, and I can't shirk it." ”
Chen Gong was silent, no matter how high his strategy was, it was useless.
"Now I only have 3,000 soldiers and horses, and if I want to take down Wu County, which has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, what is the best strategy for Gongtai?" Liu Yuan didn't wait for Chen Gong to reply, and asked directly.
What can Chen Gong do at this time? You can only answer the question first.
"Although the generals are fierce under their command, it is still not advisable to storm strongly. I heard that Chen Wen, the assassin of Yangzhou, has a broad mind and elegance. The general is his subordinate, you can ask him for help first, if you can borrow a few thousand soldiers and horses, the difficulty of the general will be greatly reduced. Chen Gong said.
What a plan! You're so powerful, I can't let you go. Liu Yuan said in his heart.
"Okay, just do what the public station wants. You get ready, and in a few days, we'll be on our way. Liu Yuandao.
Chen Gong opened his mouth and paused, but he only held back the word "yes".
After dealing with Chen Gong, Liu Yuan found Wang Jin again and said straight to the point: "General Wang, there is one thing that is very important. Brother Shi's heart is too coarse, and it is not suitable to talk to him at this time. The only one who can entrust this matter is you, the general. ”
"What's the matter?" Seeing that what Liu Yuan said was so serious, Wang Jin also became serious.
"The general should have heard Brother Shi say that I am proficient in Zhou Yi and can tell hexagrams. No matter how much you believe it, this matter is related to the lives and future of General Huangfu and everyone, and the general must pay attention to it. Liu Yuandao.
"What the hell is going on?" Seeing Liu Yuan so solemn, Wang Jin said eagerly.
"I calculated that Emperor Han Ling's longevity is running out, and he will die next year. After that, the palace will be in chaos, He Jin and the ten permanent servants will be killed, and Dong Zhuo will take the opportunity to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes. General Huangfu is regarded by him as a thorn in his side, and he will definitely get rid of it quickly. Therefore, when Dong Zhuo was in power, he must be patient and persuade General Huangfu not to let him enter Beijing. I will also keep a close eye on the situation and hope to help General Huangfu. Dong Zhuo couldn't be arrogant for long. General Wang is the righteous brother of General Huangfu, and only General Wang can undertake the heavy responsibility of persuading General Huangfu. Liu Yuandao.
Liu Yuan's words, Wang Jin digested for a long time.
Liu Yuan saw that he still didn't believe it very much, so he said again: "I know that my words are too amazing, General Wang can first look at the development of the situation, see if Emperor Han Ling will die next year, and whether Dong Zhuo will be dictatorial in the year after tomorrow." If everything is as I expected, then General Wang must persuade General Huangfu. This is no joke. ”
Listening to Liu Yuan's words, Wang Jin finally nodded, and Liu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Historically, Dong Zhuo imprisoned Huangfu Song, and finally released Huangfu Song under the pleading of Huangfu Song's son Huangfu Jianshou. It can be said that Huangfu Song is in danger.
However, Liu Yuan did not dare to take risks. I've changed a lot of history, and I will continue to do so. In the unlikely event that history changes dramatically because of himself, it will be impossible to say.
Moreover, Huangfu Song, as a loyal minister, opposed Dong Zhuo from the bottom of his heart. Killing Dong Zhuo and supporting the Han family is what Huangfu Song wants to do.
Bidding farewell to Wang Jin, Liu Yuan found Shi Jin again and drank a drunken party.
Hu Sanniang and Hua Wei were even more reluctant to part, hugging each other and crying.
