Soon after Liu Meng led the people away, an army came to the cave, if Liu Meng saw this army, he would understand that it was not that he thought too much, this era had changed dramatically because of the arrival of his system and the fact that it was different from what he knew.

This is a real undead army, there are thousands of people, cavalry, infantry, crossbowmen, and even chariots, and they are different from those Liu Meng met before, they are more charming, flexible in action, if you don't look at the appearance, there is no difference between them and people, not just a pair of moving skeletons, led by a skeleton general riding a tall bone horse wearing a golden armor and holding a heavy halberd, they found broken bones in that place after entering the depths of the cave.

An undead soldier stepped forward to investigate and reported: "General, the Xuanwu Treasure Armor has been taken away, and their soul fire has not been completely extinguished, so it should have been killed not long ago." ”

When the general heard this, he waved his hand, and a green light shone on the broken bones on the ground, only to see those broken bones slowly wriggling, and soon 104 skeleton soldiers were formed.

The skeletons were no longer the stupid and stupid they had before, they were much more agile, and when they found the skeleton general, they knelt down collectively.

"General Xie woke us up, my subordinates are incompetent and have a heavy trust, and the Xuanwu armor has been taken away, please punish the general."

"It's not your fault for waiting, you are just eroded by the years and can't play your due combat power, I came too late." The skeleton general sighed.

"Those people shouldn't have gone far, please give me the opportunity to atone for my sins and recapture the armor."

"That's it, now that I am temporarily weak when I wake up, it is not suitable to be exposed to the eyes of the world, and the death qi collected during the Yellow Turban is almost consumed, and I will find a way to resurrect the Lord and others." With that, they walked out of the cave, and soon the undead army disappeared into the depths of the mountain.

Since Hengshan returned to Luoyang, Liu Meng's life has returned to ordinary again.

On this day, Liu Meng was practicing martial arts in the courtyard as usual, and suddenly someone came to report that a eunuch had come to say that Zhang Changzhi wanted to invite him to come over the house.

Zhang Changshi? It must be that Zhang Rang, Liu Meng wondered, he has been in Luoyang for a long time, except that he just went back to Luoyang to meet Emperor Ling and this Zhang Rang once, and then he didn't see each other again, let alone have any friendships, how could he suddenly make people invite him. However, Liu Meng can't help but go, Zhang Rang is deeply loved by Emperor Ling, although he is only a eunuch, but relying on the emperor's favor, his power is increasing day by day, and it was rumored that the emperor's Fu Song Zhu Jun and others who broke the yellow scarf were all dismissed by him because they refused to bribe him, and the thirteen eunuchs headed by Zhang Rang were all named marquis, which shows their power.

Liu Meng had to follow the eunuch who came to pass the word to see Zhang Rang, of course, Zhang Rang would not meet him in the palace, but in a mansion in Luoyang City. The eunuch directly led Liu Meng to the back garden, and there was a person sitting on the stone bench in the back garden, dressed in brocade clothes, his face was a little pale, and his face was beardless.

"Lord Chang, Liu Meng has brought it." The eunuch bowed and bowed to him.

"Well, you go down." Zhang Rang waved his hand, and the eunuch retreated.

Liu Meng didn't know what Zhang Rang was going to do, and he couldn't speak, so he just stood there, but fortunately Zhang Rang said after a lot of him: "Our family hasn't seen each other since the last time we met the saint, I don't know how Jun Sima is doing recently?" ”

"Back to the regular servant, everything is fine."

"Alright? That's right, it's good to be at home all day long, but the ability of the military Sima can't be reused, and our family feels sorry for you. ”

What does Zhang Rang mean by this? Liu Meng couldn't figure out the meaning of these words, and he didn't know how to answer them.

"Now Your Majesty wants to set up the eighth lieutenant in the West Garden, I don't know if the military Sima is interested?"

The Eighth Captain of the West Garden? Isn't that what happened in 188, and now it's only 186, and it seems that history has begun to deviate. Liu Meng now understood that Zhang Rang wanted to promote him, but he couldn't figure out why Zhang Rang chose him, and this Eighth Captain of Xiyuan was set up by Emperor Ling in order to divide the military power of the great general He Jin, Liu Meng, the military horse, was a subordinate of the general, and Zhang let them belong to the faction of the Emperor Ling.

"How can Liu Meng be virtuous, how dare he think about this?" Liu Meng couldn't figure it out, and felt that it was better to refuse.

"Don't be arrogant, our family knows that you have broken tens of thousands of yellow turbans with fewer victories and more than two times, although the battle of Guangzong is not mentioned in the battle report, but our family also knows that it is all your strategy, how can Dong Zhuo's reckless man have that ability? Such a young hero should be reused, and you are a member of the Han family, now He Jin has a heavy army, and the saint is weak, so he should share his worries for the saint. ”

Liu Meng understood that this Zhang Rang took a fancy to his ability and the identity of the Han clan, and although he was under He Jin, he had not been taken seriously, and he thought that he would be resentful, so now he came to woo him.

Liu Meng knew that although these eunuchs were now powerful and could compete with the generals of the dynasty, they relied on Emperor Ling, and he just knew that Emperor Ling, the emperor, would die soon after, so these eunuchs were also grasshoppers after the autumn for a long time, and it was not a good thing to get closer to them.

However, Liu Meng has no military power in his hands now, if he becomes the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan, he will have military power, so that he can make a difference in the near future, he might as well temporarily commit himself to the eunuch, but secretly reported to He Jin, as long as he acted carefully, it was also feasible, so he promised: "Then thank you for the help of Lord Changshou." ”

When Zhang Rang heard Liu Meng say this, he knew that he agreed, and immediately smiled: "Haha, Jun Sima, oh no, it is a blessing for the country that the captain is willing to share the worries of the saint." ”

Things are discussed, and Zhang Rang doesn't stay with Liu Meng.

The next day, Emperor Ling proposed the formation of the West Garden and the establishment of eight captains.

These eight people are Jian Shuo, the captain of the upper military academy, Yuan Shao, the captain of the middle army, Liu Meng, the captain of the lower military academy, Cao Cao, the captain of the left army, Zhao Rong, the left captain of the auxiliary army, Feng Fang, the right captain of the auxiliary army, Xia Mou, the left captain, and Chun Yuqiong, the right captain. Among the eight people, Jian Shuo is the leader, and the general leader is the soldiers and horses of the West Garden. In this way, everyone in the court knew that this was the reason why Emperor Ling was the general He Jin's military power.

After getting off the court, He Jin was very angry, so he called a regular meeting, this time he specially sent someone to inform Liu Meng that he must participate, Liu Meng also knew that He Jin would definitely come to him, after all, he had been sick at home before, and now he suddenly became the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan, and this is precisely the force headed by the eunuch, which will naturally arouse He Jin's suspicion, and it just so happens that he also needs to explain the matter to He Jin, so he will naturally participate.
