Chapter 15: Zhang Ning and the Shadow

"Presumptuousβ€”β€”! Go back! Guanhai! I'm telling you to go back! Zhang Ning was furious and coquettish, Guan Hai reluctantly retreated, Zhang Ning's chest rose and fell, and his face under the mask was even more gloomy; Why didn't she bring the steady Xu He? is just considering that Guan Hai is an unstable factor, and now it seems that he is really a restless guy, sooner or later, it will cause a big disaster to the Qingzhou Yellow Turban!

Li Kai looked at Guan Hai, then at Zhang Ning, silent, Zhang Ning took two breaths to calm down his emotions: "Mr. Li!" How about I want to talk to you individually? ”

"Good!" , Li Kai nodded, motioned for the others to go out, Old Man Cheng Zhongde also went out with a smile, the overall situation has been decided, and the command of Young Master Yuan has added a strong combat power, he is now also under the command of Young Master Yuan, so he is naturally happy to see it; After everyone left, Li Kai smiled and said: "This time, you understand why I want your Qingzhou Yellow Turbans to become an army of their own, but I don't want your people to be generals, right?" There are such brainless people! ”

Zhang Ning slowly took off the mask, although she was not born beautiful behind the mask, she also had a unique style, especially a pair of autumn-like eyes, with a men's dress, she looked even more shrewd and capable: "What Mr. Li said is reasonable!" If I were a man, they wouldn't be so presumptuous! ”

"Sit down! There are some things that need to be talked about in detail! Li Mouren motioned to sit down: "I want to know the number of Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, what is the proportion of strong men, the old and weak, and women!" I need to do some preparation, too! ”

"There are about 300,000 soldiers who can be used for war, and these people have lost a lot, and the old, weak, sick and disabled account for most of the part, at least two million, and the rest are all women! That's about 3 million people! Zhang Ning sighed, what they mean by women is the ability to give birth;" Gee! Two million old, weak, sick and disabled! That's a lot! Li Kai rubbed his hands: "Three million people are really not easy to settle, I have no research on internal affairs, and I am not professional, I will invite Mao Xiaoxian to come over and make the best arrangements, I think you have heard of Mao Xiaoxian's reputation!" He is responsible for the resettlement of the displaced people in Nanyang! He was a virtuous and humble gentleman! ”

"Yes, I have heard of it! I have a lot of respect for him, and of course for you! Zhang Ning said seriously: "But what I want to talk about is the future of the Yellow Turban Army, or the future of those generals!" ”

Li Kai pondered for a moment and said, "Those generals! There are no talents in the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, right? Guan Hai is one, but he has a bit of a problem with his brain, and I can tell you bluntly, I must clean up this guy! And you, you are the leader of the Yellow Turban Army! ”

"Hehehe", Zhang Ning smiled miserably: "Did Mr. Li finally turn the topic around me?" I see what you mean! I can die for the sake of the Yellow Turbans! ”

"No, no, no! Death is not the goal, the goal is to eliminate your powerful influence and leadership in the Yellow Turbans! I mean! You will disappear from now on, and disappearing does not mean death! Isn't it? Li Kai stood up, walked a few steps, and greeted the sun; Under the illumination of the sun, a shadow appeared behind Li Kai, very deep and dark, Zhang Ning's eyes flashed, and said: "From today onwards, I will be your shadow!" I think I have some ability, whether it's literature or martial arts, I know! What do you think? Mr. Lee? ”

"Smart man! Conversations with smart people are just pleasant! Li Kai clapped his hands: "Now!" On behalf of Yuan Chengcheng, I welcome the Qingzhou Yellow Turban to join! ”

"Woo woo father! Did you see that in the Heavenly Spirit? Daughter, daughter has finally found a home for the Yellow Turban Army! Zhang Ning looked up to the sky and sighed, his eyes were hazy with tears! For so many years, she has carried all the burdens on her back, and now she can finally take it off!

Li Mouren looked at her silently and didn't speak, just let her vent slowly, maybe it was enough to vent, Zhang Ning wiped her tears: "Let you see you laugh!" As the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, I will give Yuan Gong a gift at the end! ”

"Gifts?" , Li Kai raised his eyebrows in surprise; Three days later, an army of 200,000 people appeared in front of Li Kai, wrapped in yellow scarves and holding crude weapons, but their morale was very high, they were like weeds in troubled times, constantly suffering from flames, but each time they grew tenaciously; Qingzhou Yellow Turbans are good at adjusting their mentality, because they have nothing, so every time they win, they are improving, they are always defeated, but never crushed!

Zhang Ning is still wearing a mask, at the forefront of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, she spent three days mobilizing most of the soldiers and horses, she wants to break through Chen County and complete her last mission! It is also her last curtain call as the leader of the Yellow Turban Army; The army was surging like a tide, and Liu Yin and Liu Ji at the head of Chen County were almost stupid! How have they ever seen such a rare army? The two-strand battle can't suppress the fear in your heart!

"Gollum!" , Liu Ji swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked bitterly, "Big brother?" What to do? What should I do", Liu Yin didn't know how to answer his words, he really didn't know what to say, and after a while, he said: "This is the Yellow Turban Army!" We, the Han clan relatives, will not survive well in their hands, so abandon the city and go! Defect to Liu Dai"

Zhang Ning and Chen County were in a position: "Break through Chen County!" We have food! Have land and a stable home! Kill β€”β€”! ”

Food, land, and a stable home have always been what the Yellow Turban Army is looking forward to! Now at your fingertips! Everyone's eyes are red! Roaring madly, he rushed up, and the improvised ladder reached the head of the city, and the ants attached it; Liu Yin and Liu Ji escaped through the back door, what else do the others have to resist? The surrender of surrender and the slipping away, the three counties in the north of Yuzhou were calmed down after more than half a month of separatist activities, and there were no waves and dangers, which was more stable than Li Kai imagined; "It's simpler than I thought, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing? Really", Li Kai shook his head, disappointed, perhaps disappointed by the incompetence of his opponent!

Old man Cheng's beard curled: "Are you doing this?" Don't forget that you have other things to do! The wealthy families in Yuzhou have probably received the news that the war with them is about to start, and you must know that the battlefield without flames is even more terrifying! Murder without blood! ”

"Hey, hey! You're right! But now that you are an old man, how many people dare to come forward to provoke? It's time to welcome Duke Yuan into Yuzhou! Li Kai said with a smile; Stationed in situ for five days, Li Kai and Old Man Cheng began to arrange the placement of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Of course, these two are not masters of internal affairs, Cheng Yu is good at strategy and politics, and Li is probably military!

After Li Kai's letter was sent back, Young Master Yuan also transferred Mao Jie directly without saying a word, and Yang Hong began to take over the resettlement of the Nanyang refugees; "Brother Mao! Hahaha! Long time no see! Mao Jue came, came alone, even the guards did not bring Yan Xiang Old Mr. also said that this person lives a frugal life outrageously, and he is a real doer;" Long time no see? Lee Hyo-sien! What a thorn you say! The last time we met in the Nanyang Wancheng Mansion, your face was as long as a donkey! I didn't even dare to say a word more! How? Feeling good? Mao Jue got off the horse with white eyes, very unhappy; Li Kai smiled and said: "I was really in a bad mood at the time, you also know Brother Zhicai, don't worry, one day you die, I will be like that!" Hahaha"

"It seems that you have really come out of the shadow of Brother Zhicai's death! Pretty good, huh? Zhong Degong! Why are you here? Don't do it for a long time, your old body is still so tough! When Mao Jue saw Cheng Yu not far away, he hurriedly saluted and exclaimed: "Li Xiaoxian's methods are really good!" Can you even please move? ”

When he mentioned this, Old Man Cheng was very angry, and sneered: "Yes! Li Xiaoxian's means are powerful! If I don't come and fall to the ground! ”

Li Mouren touched his nose in embarrassment and said, "This is also a last resort!" Besides, I didn't do it! It was Uncle Chen who did it! Hey! If your old man is angry, let's go to him! That kid is pretty leathing! Enough for you to hammer for a while! ”

"Humph! I'm not going to have trouble with a little kid! It's you Li Xiaoxian! What a smiling tiger! Everything is clean! Cheng Zhongde said unhappily; Come on, come on! Introduction! We have gained a good harvest of these! In addition to the addition of Zhong Degong! And a few more! The! Li Zhengfang! This is a great general! Compared to in Yuzhou, you have also heard of his name! And this! Xu Zhongkang! Fierce enough, right? And this kid, his potential is not under Ma Mengqi! Li Kai introduced them one by one, and Mao Jue's dumb color became stronger; After seeing each other, Mao Jue pointed to the masked person behind Li Kai and said, "This is"

Zhang Ning was dressed in black, wearing light armor, and a sword stuck in her back, her name was Wentian, which was the big man who ordered the Yellow Turban Army, bowed her hands, and said in a thick voice: "I am a martial artist below, and I was sent by the Little Heavenly Master of the Yellow Turban Army to protect Mr. Li!" Repay Mr. Li for his kindness! ”

"Repay the favor? What about the little Celestial Master? Mao Jue asked curiously? Zhang Ning pointed to the Qingzhou Yellow Turban full of manuscripts, and stopped talking, theoretically she was dead, and she was now Li Kai's shadow! Since then, there is no such person as Zhang Ning! Only - shadows!

"That's it!" , Li Kai patted Mao Jue's shoulder and sighed quietly: "I forced her to death!" You know what that means, right? Her existence is not conducive to Yuan Gong mastering these people, so, Brother Mao! That's politics! ”

Mao Jue glanced at him and didn't speak, he also knew that what Li Kai said was right, no matter whether Zhang Ning lived or died, in short, she couldn't appear in front of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army anymore, this is the most important thing!

"The lord has marched to Song County yesterday, with 30,000 soldiers and horses, the general Huang Zhong, the partial general Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui's entourage, and Sun Wentai!" , Mao Jue glanced at Li Kai and said in a deep voice: "Recently, he has been moving frequently and restless!" ”

"Restless? He'll be settled soon! When I assist Yuan Gong to get the matter of Yuzhou done first, I will have a good time with him! Li sneered, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "What is Liu Jingsheng from Jingzhou doing now?" ”

"I just came back from the defensive site in Deng County, Liu Jingsheng recently recruited two people, and ran over from the Chang'an area, about 40,000 cavalry troops, under the banner of Zhang Zi, I think it is Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew!" , Mao Jue replied; "Uncle Zhang Ji? Hiss is a bad thing! Li Kai shook his head, feeling a big headache, if nothing else, he guessed that Jia Wenhe was in Zhang Xiu's camp! With Liu Jingsheng's forces in conjunction with Liu Xuan and Liu Yan, it was already very huge, and now it has joined a top strategist, which is very disadvantageous to Yuan Shu!

"What's wrong?" Cheng Yu asked, "You seem to have encountered something?" Is Uncle Zhang Ji's nephew very powerful? ”

"They're not great, but there are other people! Never mind! I wish I had thought too much! Li's lips smacked: "Let's go!" Let's go in and have a meal! Troubled times! There are too many days to gather less and leave more, let's have a parting meal first! Hahahaha! ”

"Parting meal?" , Cheng Yu shook his head and smiled: "There is still such a thing?" I've only heard of guillotine rice! ”

"And, of course, casual meals! Haven't heard of it! Hehe! Li Kai said with a smile, the meal is very simple, a pot of turbid wine and two dishes of horse meat, the ploughing cattle are now strictly forbidden to be killed, this is the decree proposed by Mao Jue, if you eat it, you will be beheaded! There is no deception at this point, there are already greedy people who have fallen; These horse meats are also the meat of war horses that died in battle, in line with the glorious concept of conservation, even if it is unpalatable, Li is still eating large pieces, who calls him a foodie! Foodies may say that it is not delicious while eating upside down; After three rounds of drinking, Li said: "This time I will leave you a helper, Brother Zhengfang is both civil and military, and it is just right to train the Qingzhou Yellow Turban if you stay!" They are now an army of their own, so let's call it the Qingzhou Army!

Brother Zhengfang! In terms of the number of people, you must be carefully selected, and the training of these 100,000 people will be handed over to you! Be sure to let them become the brave of the brave, the best of the best! If you can't do it, you will brush it down, as long as the elite soldiers don't have miscellaneous soldiers! This is an important capital for Yuan Gong in the future! So I won't take you to Yuan Gong this time! ”

"Understood!" , Li Yan replied lightly, he didn't want to see Yuan Shu now, he needed a big credit as a qualification for promotion! This is what sets him apart from others, and it is also a very good point!

After Li Kai entrusted all the things to Mao Jue, he left with the soldiers and horses in the early morning of the next day; Zhang Ning glanced at her former subordinates nostalgically, shed a line of tears, turned her head, and was expressionless!

Guan Hai also followed Li Kai's team, he often looked at the figure behind Li Kai, feeling familiar, but also unfamiliar, he had already seen the corpse of 'Zhang Ning', it was indeed a suicide, but why

Everyone has their own ideas, and what Li Kai is thinking about now is how to confront those wealthy families who are waiting to be sold!
