In such a desperate background, after Guo Yi was liberated from his residence by the Taixing Army, he inquired a little and learned the origin of the Taixing Army, and still chose to visit Captain Taihang without hesitation.

Zhang Qi was first surprised by Guo Yi's visit, and then overjoyed.

Of course, Zhang Qi knows the details of Guo Yi.

You know, the war is dangerous. Thousands of miles to attack the court of the Southern Xiongnu Dynasty, such an important big war, if you don't do your homework in advance, you won't have the courage to implement the plan at all. For Guo Yi, who has lived in the border area for a long time, the information collected by Zhang Qi before the war is described as follows:

"Xiaochang military aircraft, proficient in the Huns."

The evaluation is simple, but powerful. To be able to get such an evaluation of talents, Zhang Qiang naturally wants to recruit. However, this Guo Yi was born in a local clan in Yangqu County, Taiyuan County, and his father Guo Quan was a high-ranking official at the level of the imperial court.

Before, in order to recruit Zhao Yun, who was born as a small landlord, he had to go to great lengths, and even used the "beautiful man plan" [? After several twists and turns, it can be regarded as a wish. Regarding the recruitment of scholars from Guo Yi's background, Zhang Qiang really didn't have a little confidence in his heart.

Now, Guo Yi came uninvited, and for Zhang Qiang, it was like being hit by a pie falling from the sky. When Guo Yi revealed his willingness to help the Taixing army stabilize the Xiongnu during the conversation, Zhang Yi jumped up from the seat excitedly, grabbed Guo Yi's palm tightly, and laughed happily:

"I have Mr. Guo's help, it's like 'like a fish in water'!"

In order to show his trust to Guo Yi, Zhang Qi immediately called the guards around him, handed over his "Taihang Captain" bronze seal to Guo Yi, entrusted him to deal with various matters after the Taihang army entered the city, and also arranged Zhao Yun to be Guo Yi's assistant. Guo Yi didn't seem very excited about his arrogant actions, but just responded calmly:

"I will live up to the trust of the Ming Gong!"

Watching Guo Yi stride out of the courtyard, Cheng Yu, who had been sitting silently on the side without making a sound, asked:

"Mowgli believes in this person like that?"

"Strategist, this person's power is no longer there, and the military power is in my hands again, what storm can he set off? Besides, Zilong [Zhao Yun] is delicate. With him staring, it is expected that Guo Yi will not dare to do anything unfavorable to our army. However, I have to work harder to secretly think of him. ”

"It's nature."

Cheng Yu finished agreeing and fell silent again. Then, a burly sweat of unusual stature, fully clothed, and holding a double iron halberd, loudly reported to Zhang Qiang:

"Lord, Lu Zhi is here!"

"Please!"

As soon as the arrogant word "please" came out, Lu Bu had already strode into the courtyard from the gate. As soon as he appeared, not to mention Le Jin, who was already thin and small next to him, even Dian Wei, who was a circle bigger than Lu Bu, also became a foil on the side. It was as if the light of the whole audience had been absorbed by Lu Bu......

"Captain Zhang, don't come to harm?"

Hearing Lu Bu's preemptive words, he laughed arrogantly, strode up to greet him, and praised:

"It is said that 'Lu Bu is among the people, and Chi Su is among the horses', and it really deserves its reputation!"

"Captain Zhang has won the award! However, what kind of horse is a red dodder? I don't think I've ever heard of it? ”

Lu Bu's words were simple and direct, which made Zhang Qi difficult to interface with all of a sudden.

He said he slipped his mouth.

- It seems that it will not be until Dong Zhuo enters Beijing that Chi Zhuo will return to Lu Bu?

"The red, the red. The Chu people are called tigers. This horse is as vigorous as a tiger, hence the name Chisu. 1”

At the critical moment, the military advisor Cheng Yu opened his mouth to break the siege. He knew that there were a lot of strange secrets in his heart. In normal times, a few strange words popped out of Zhang Qiang's mouth from time to time, and it became a normal phenomenon for his close people.

Moreover, as the number one think tank around Zhang Qiang, Cheng Yu has always been in charge of the foreign intelligence work of the Taixing Army. He knew more information than he was arrogant, and he had really heard of the horse "Chisu".

"Lu Bu, see Mr. Cheng."

Lu Bu and the important figures of the Taixing Army participated in the reception banquet set up by Ding Yuan together, and they all had a relationship. Although he is conceited and brave, Lu Bu still has a lot of respect for Cheng Yu, who is older and seems to be as wise as the sea.

"Humph!"

Dian Wei on the side snorted coldly. He was conceited that he was "the strongest man in the Taixing Army", and he was very hostile to Lu Bu. For Dian Wei, that "Three Heroes Battle Lu Bu" did not let Dian Wei catch up, which was an extremely unhappy thing. If it weren't for being suppressed by insolence, Dian Wei would have found a way to provoke Lu Bu and have a good fight with him.

In this regard, Lu Bu's reaction was:

- Ignorance.

Seeing Dian Wei's provocative behavior, Zhang Arrogant hurriedly glared at Dian Wei. Being signaled by the lord like this, Dian Wei had no choice but to twist his neck and no longer stare at Lu Bu to provoke. Cheng Yu also hurriedly returned the salute and opened his mouth to explain to Lu Bu.

"I heard that the 'former general' Dong Zhuo [was promoted], and not long ago he got a BMW named 'Chisu'. According to rumors, this horse can travel 1,000 a day and 800 at night, and is the best horse in the world. ”

"Oh? If there is a chance, Lu Bu will ride to see. ”

The two sides sat down and asked:

"Lu Zhi is deeply respected by Ding Bingzhou [Ding Yuan], and he is busy with official business every day, how can he have time to come to this barbarian border?"

Lu Bu has already prepared an answer to this question:

"I heard that Captain Zhang and the Huns were hunting here, and the assassin Shi specially ordered me to rush over, intending to get a piece of the pie."

Zhang Madness bowed slightly, touched his newly grown mustache, and asked:

"But I don't know, how many people did Lu Zhen bring here, and how big of a piece of the pie did he want?"

"There are more than 200 cavalry, and they don't have much appetite, just a few heads."

"Hehe, the head of the Huns is everywhere, and it doesn't hurt to take it. I'm afraid that when the time comes, Lu Zhi's horses will not be able to carry these many heads! ”

"Don't bother with the captain. Lu Bu's knights are all one person and two horses. It is expected that thousands of heads will still be able to move. ”

In a few words, both sides made their respective purposes clear. Lu Bu did not have the idea of occupying the land of Meiji, and Zhang Qiang, as a remnant of the Yellow Turban, had a large number of heads in his hands, and there was no place to ask for credit. In this way, there is no conflict between the demands of the two sides.

Finding that the other party didn't mean anything difficult for himself, he could take what he needed, and the atmosphere between Lu Bu and Zhang Qi immediately improved.

It just so happened that when the time came to the corner [the sun traveled to the southeast corner, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.], the guards on the side came over and asked if they were going to have dinner. Zhang Qiang warmly invited Lu Bu to breakfast. Lu Bu thought about it for a while, and generously agreed.

It is said that during the Han Dynasty, ordinary people still only ate two meals a day, and the first meal was called Chao Shi, which was equivalent to about nine o'clock in the morning. The second meal is called feeding, and the meal is eaten at the time of Shen (around 4 p.m.). Only the more affluent families eat three meals a day.

However, in the Taixing Army, in order to ensure the physical fitness of the soldiers, from the time when he was based in Taishan County, Zhang Qiang changed two meals a day to three meals a day. This habit of insisting on changing because he can't stand hunger because he is arrogant, because he can eat more, naturally won the hearts of the military.

Later, three meals a day actually became an important reason why many Taihang soldiers still chose to follow Zhang Jiao after the news of Zhang Jiao's death and the failure of the Yellow Turban Army's uprising......

Of course, there is a price to be paid for this. To put it simply, after the implementation of three meals a day, the consumption of military rations for the Taixing army was about 20% more than two meals a day. When Zhang Qiang was nesting in Taihang Mountain, if he hadn't had some money in his hands and some outlets, he could buy high-priced food from Jizhou Haoqiang, I am afraid that he would have changed back to the old habit of two meals a day.

ps: 1 red dodder, there are also red rabbits. As for the interpretation of the red rabbit, there is a saying that "rabbit" should refer to the shape of the horse's head. In the "Soma Sutra" unearthed in the Han Dynasty, one of them said, "The rabbit and the fox, the bird and the fish, get these four things, and not the rest...... You want the head of the rabbit and its shoulders, the grass of the fox and its ears, the eyes and neck of the bird, the fin and the spine of the fish."
