Chapter 149: Ideological and Political Talent Visits Jizhou
Hearing that he had 20,000 more cavalry, Zhang Fei was excited like a child. Zhao Yun and Guan Yu were very envious, but they knew that Liu Zhang's actions must have a deep meaning. Indeed, the reason why Liu Zhang handed over all the Hun soldiers to Zhang Fei was because he knew that Zhang Fei liked to whip soldiers. Han sergeant, Liu Zhang definitely didn't let Zhang Fei fight, but Zhang Fei sometimes couldn't help it.
Liu Zhang handed over the Hun soldiers to Zhang Fei, which not only allowed Zhang Fei to bring the coveted cavalry, but also honed Zhang Fei's surname, and the Huns were originally respected by the strong, and it was common for generals to beat the soldiers. And the Hun soldiers were beaten by the generals, and they would never be dissatisfied with the generals. Except, of course, that the generals are too incompetent!
There is a Xiongnu Da Danyu to help collect the Hun soldiers, Zhang Fei is a brave and unparalleled 10,000 enemies, coupled with a series of iron-blooded policies, 20,000 Hun soldiers have not yet entered the state, and they were properly picked up by Zhang Fei. Liu Zhang immediately returned the horses and weapons to the Huns, and named the cavalry 'Overlord Cavalry'.
In order to prevent the imperial court from discovering that there was such an elite cavalry under his command, Liu Zhang left Zhang Fei on the grassland outside the Yumen Pass. Of course, Liu Zhang will never let Zhang Fei's materials be shortaged. However, compared with the generals in the Guannai, Zhang Fei naturally worked harder, but he enjoyed it.
When I went, there were five people, but when I came back, there was one less, and everyone naturally wanted to ask. When Zhang Liao knew that Liu Zhang had a cavalry, or a Hun cavalry, his eyes were full of envy. In fact, Zhang Liao is not only envious, as long as there are generals who can fight well, who doesn't want to have a strong army under his command? It's just that Liu Zhang is a little worried about whether Zhang Fei can train the Hun cavalry.
Liu Zhang's worries are obviously unnecessary! Zhang Fei was already full of poetry and books, and he had received special training from Huang Zhong, not only was he very familiar with Liu Zhang's training methods, but he could also find some shortcomings from them. It's just that Zhang Fei often makes mistakes, which makes people feel very unreliable. However, Zhang Fei got along well with the Huns, because they were so bold.
Since those Hun soldiers have become sharp weapons in Liu Zhang's hands, Liu Zhang will not treat them badly. After returning to Jinyang, Liu Zhang built a batch of knives between scimitars and sabers according to the sabers used by cavalry in later generations, and sent them to the cavalry camp outside Yumen Pass. Even Zhang Fei, who originally used the ring-head knife, also fell in love with the scimitar.
In order to experiment with the effect of the scimitar, Zhang Fei secretly sent troops and went to Liangzhou to rob the Qiang people. After the robbery, he sent tens of thousands of horses to Liu Zhang. When Dong Zhuo, the assassin of Xiliang, received the report, he thought that the Huns had gone to Liangzhou to make trouble, and hurriedly notified the imperial court, hoping to recruit more troops to guard against the Huns.
Liu Hong has always had no vision, and in his opinion, the affairs of the Xiongnu have nothing to do with the Han Dynasty at all. At He Jin's suggestion, he not only agreed to Dong Zhuo's conscription, but also allowed Yu Fuluo to return to the Xiongnu to clean up the mess. Liu Zhang couldn't have imagined that Yu Fuluo, who was able to return to the Xiongnu through the war of the Han Dynasty, went back ahead of schedule because he sent troops without authorization.
You must know that although the Southern Xiongnu were in chaos, their vitality was not injured, and there were still two or three hundred thousand soldiers who controlled the strings. Now that Yu Fuluo, the hero, has returned, it has added a lot of variables to the Han. However, Liu Zhang is not in the mood to think about Yu Fuluo's matter now, because a few days ago, he got the news that Liu Hong is critically ill.
Liu Hong is dying! This has long been the consensus of Guo Jia and others. But Guo Jia and others didn't understand why Liu Zhang was so surprised. In fact, Liu Zhang is not to blame, because it is only the fifth year of Zhongping, and in Liu Zhang's memory, Liu Hong died in the sixth year of Zhongping. If Liu Hong dies a year early, it will add many variables, making what may happen later uncertain.
Although Liu Zhang will one day lose the advantage of the time-traveler knowing the development of history, he does not hope that this day will come so early. At the very least, he wants to maintain that advantage as much as possible until he becomes a hegemon. This is also the reason why Liu Zhang did not choose Jingzhou and Jizhou, which are rich and large, but chose to merge with the state.
At the beginning, when choosing a state pastor, if Liu Zhang had to make a little effort, he would have been able to win Jingzhou or Yangzhou pastor, but he chose to merge with the state. On the one hand, the people of the state are fierce; On the other hand, Liu Zhang wants to keep history on the right track and continue to walk. Only if history does not deviate, after Liu Hong's death, can he get more benefits. But now that Liu Hong is critically ill, how can Liu Zhang not be worried?
In order to get accurate information, Liu Zhang, who was not going to return to Luoyang, actually planned to go to Luoyang again. Just as he was packing his bags and preparing to leave, a eunuch came to Luoyang, and this eunuch turned out to be sent by Zhang Rang. It turned out that in order to monopolize the military power of the Beijing Division, the general He Jin was ready to assassinate Liu Zhang when Liu Zhang returned to Luoyang. As for Liu Hong, he is now sick and confused.
Knowing that Liu Hong was just sick and confused, Liu Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. There are still a few months to go to Zhongping for six years, as long as Liu Hong can survive it, Liu Zhang will not bother to care about him! After sending off the eunuchs, Liu Zhang resumed his previous breeziness, which made Guo Jia and others very puzzled. However, Liu Zhang seemed to be difficult to be idle, in the name of recruiting talents, he left Bingzhou with Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Dian Wei, and didn't even say where he went.
Where does Liu Zhang want to go? It turned out that although Bingzhou was developing well, Liu Zhang always felt that there were still many deficiencies. But whether it is Guo Jia, or Xi Zhicai, or Liu Ye, the military is slightly higher than the political strategy. Liu Zhang is now in urgent need of a talent in internal affairs, and in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Zhang's most familiar internal affairs talents were Zhuge Liang, Xun Yu, and Tian Feng!
Zhuge Liang is only a few years old now, and he doesn't know where to pee and play with mud yet. Xun Yu is a member of a big family, although his heart is towards the Han family, but the family is the first in his heart. Therefore, Liu Zhang set his sights on Julu Tianfeng, a talented man who is both talented and poor, and his life is still very bumpy.
Tian Feng is a native of Julu County, Jizhou, but after arriving in Jizhou, Liu Zhang immediately discovered a very serious problem. That is, Julu County is too big, and the ghost knows where Tian Feng lives, is it difficult to visit one county after another? Seeing that Liu Hong didn't know when he was burping and catching a cold, how could he have so much time to rub here!
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Zhang decided to take a risk and visit Han Fu, the assassin of Jizhou. In Liu Zhang's opinion, Han Fu's subordinates are Tian Feng's best friends and should know Tian Feng's whereabouts. When Han Fu heard that Liu Zhang was visiting, he was stunned, he didn't remember that he had offended Liu Zhang. But whether it is a crowd of distinguished guests or a villain kicking the hall, this has hit the door, and of course Han Fu wants to continue.
"I've seen Lord Han of Jizhou Thorn History!" Liu Zhang took Guan Yu and other generals and saluted Han Fu very hypocritically.
Han Fu smiled and said, "Master Liu, please!" ”
"I'm a wicked guest, how dare I go first? If Lord Han doesn't give up, what will happen together? Liu Zhang took Han Fu's hand, Han Fu naturally couldn't refuse, and the two walked into the Jizhou Thorn Mansion together.
Han Fu brought Liu Zhang into the hall of the Assassin's Mansion, and after the guests and hosts sat down, Han Fu asked with a smile: "I don't know what the pastor of Jizhou has to say?" ”
Liu Zhang naturally didn't tell Han Fu what was in his heart, he smiled and said: "I am adjacent to Jizhou, and I and Lord Han are also neighbors." I came here today, just to visit Lord Han, and by the way, to meet Jizhou talents! ”
"I'm still here to smash the field!" Han Fu still had a smile on his face, but he was sneering in his heart, he pointed to a middle-aged man in his thirties present: "Champion Hou, although I am a Jizhou pastor, I actually have no talent. ”
"Isn't it Guangping frustrated?" Liu Zhang looked surprised, staring at the middle-aged man with dead eyes.
"It's down there!" Frustrated and bowed, but he felt that Liu Zhang's gaze seemed a little strange.
"It's a great honor to see Mr. today, and Mr. is worshiped by me!" Fu Zhu just sat in his position and arched his hand to Liu Zhang, who expected Liu Zhang to stand up and bow to the end in front of Fu Zhu.
At this time, he couldn't sit still, he quickly stood up and returned the salute, and asked with a smile: "I'm just a don't drive, and the adult is both the state pastor and Jiuqing, why do you want to give me this big gift?" ”
Liu Zhang smiled: "I am not Mr. Jing's lord, but Mr. Jing's talent!" ”
"It's... Thank you, sir! Frustrated and bowed to the end, he was slightly moved in his heart, but Han Fu was a little unhappy in his heart. You must know that Han Fu is the boss of Frustration, but Liu Zhang's official position is much higher than Han Fu. Liu Zhang gave a big gift to Frustration, didn't he look down on Han Fu? However, Han Fu is not a narrow-minded person, although he is a little unhappy in his heart, he does not say much.
"How can my talent be compared to Lord Han!" Fu Zhu was also a famous strategist in the late Han Dynasty, and Han Fu was just a small move, so he knew that Han Fu was a little unhappy in his heart. No matter what Liu Zhang's thoughts were, Fu Zhu was always Han Fu's subordinate. Seeing that Han Fu was unhappy, he hurriedly complimented him.
"Lord Han's talent, I naturally know!" Liu Zhang just wanted to make Han Fu and Fu Zhi have a dirty relationship, so that he could profit from it, but now that the discord plan has failed, he naturally has to pretend to be innocent, otherwise Fu Zhu will have a bad feeling for him, and if he doesn't tell him Tian Feng's residence, he will lose more than he gains.
"Frustrated by the public, the champion Hou praised it!" Han Fu knew that he was not as good as Frustrated, but now that Frustrated and Liu Zhang were complimenting him, if he cared about it again, he would be stingy.
"Lord Han, Jizhou Wuhua Tianbao, I want to visit Jizhou for a few days and bring some gifts for His Majesty and my wives, I don't know if it's okay?" Since Han Fu and Fu Zhu were not recruited, Liu Zhang was no longer entangled, and finding Tian Feng first was the key.
"Of course it's excellent!" Buy a gift for His Majesty, if Han Fu dares to say no, his Jizhou assassination history will not do it.
Liu Zhang said with a smile: "I am not familiar with the life of Jizhou, and if I want to buy something good, it is really not easy." Why don't you ask Lord Han to send someone to accompany me around Jizhou City, okay? ”
"Of course no problem!" Han Fu breathed a sigh of relief, in his opinion, although Liu Zhang is very capable, but now he is only twenty years old, and there is no teenager who is not greedy for fun, maybe Liu Zhang just came to Jizhou to play.
