Zhang Yang is a complex person, on the one hand, he is loyal to the emperor and interesting enough to his friends, but on the other hand, he is also a scourge to the people; I think that when the Han Emperor issued the edict of King Qin after Dong Zhuo's death, some of the princes of the Han Dynasty couldn't come if they wanted to, and some didn't want to come at all. As a result, he encountered Xu Rong's powerful sniper in Xingyang, and withdrew to Hanoi and Shangdang with heavy losses; He has a strong will to serve the country, and he has always been loyal to the Han Dynasty, which is a fact that no one can deny; Let's talk about his friend Lu Bu, at this time Lu Bu was defeated by Cao Cao and wanted to rejoin Yuan Shao, how dare Yuan Shao use him and refuse to accept him, but the 30,000 state army wants to eat! Lu Bu once again took refuge in his friend Zhang Yang, and Zhang Yang accepted him without saying a word; Speaking of the relationship between the two, it is also necessary to recall that when Bingzhou Mu Ding Yuan was not dead, Zhang Yang was one of the core figures of the Bingzhou Legion at that time, and he and Lu Bu formed a deep friendship at that time; He accepted Lu Bu when he first took refuge in him, but why did Lu Bu leave? The reason is that Li Dao and Guo Yan of Chang'an issued a high reward to Lu Bu and ordered Zhang Yang to kill Lu Bu; Although Zhang Yang is very kind, he will not do anything to betray his friends for glory; But Zhang Yang's subordinates wanted to kill Lü Bu and send his head to Chang'an to receive a reward.

Lu Bu has a problem, that is, he is timid, which does not mean that when he is on the battlefield... He said to Zhang Yang: "The court has a reward for catching me, and if I catch me alive, the reward is greater than that of me who catches me to death." Instead of killing me and sending my head away, you should bind me up and send me away. ”

It may be that Zhang Yang is deliberately humorous, or it may be that Zhang Yang is too kind, he didn't say "I won't betray you", but said to Lu Bu seriously: "Your words are very right." ”

Lu Bu was made restless by Zhang Yang's words, so he had to leave. So, he led a number of his subordinates to the east to defect to Yuan Shao.

This was the situation at that time, but when the desperate Lu Bu came back again, Zhang Yang still went out ten miles to greet him, and warmly welcomed his old friend, because of the locust plague, it was difficult for Zhang Yang to supply his troops, not to mention the 30,000 mouths that Lu Bu had joined; He chose to plunder, plundering the people in his own territory to supply his army and Lu Bu, and from the perspective of a friend—he was interesting enough! But from the point of view of the suffering of the people - he is simply a scumbag!

…… Dividing line

Zhang Yang marched all the way to Hedong County, went to Anyi, and passed through the Jin Dynasty, where he passed, all those who dared to resist him were wiped out, this is not to say how capable he is, but because of Lu Bu, who is grateful to him, helped him!

With Lu Bu's help, Ding Yuan dared to use 30,000 Bingzhou troops to fight against Dong Zhuo's more than 100,000 Xiliang army! With Lu Bu's help, Dong Zhuo dared to stay on the dragon bed at night and challenge the princes of the Eighteen Roads! With Lu Bu's help, Wang Yun dared to design to kill Dong Zhuo and get rid of thieves for the country! With Lu Bu's help, Yuan Shu dared to be the emperor! Although that's later!

But from these things, it is not difficult to see Lu Bu's position in the hearts of all the princes, on the one hand, he is wary of him and despises him, on the other hand, he admires him and hopes that he will be used for himself, so that he finally forms a mentality of fearing him and treating him as a thorn in his side; Lu Bu! Always exists as a strategic killer!

Gradually approaching the periphery of Chang'an, Zhang Yang was apprehensive, he responded to Cao Cao's march to King Qin this time, not that he had a good relationship with Cao Cao, but that he hoped to welcome out the emperor and restore the majesty of the Han Dynasty; But when he gradually approached Chang'an, he thought of many things, and once those things happened, it would be a tragedy, and he was an accomplice!

Cao Cao now seems to have to be weak among many princes, not to mention Yuan Shao, who dominates Hebei, and Yuan Shu, who dominates Yangzhou, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Liu Yan in Bashu, Tao Qian in Xuzhou, and Ma Teng in Xiliang are all stronger than Cao Cao, this strength refers not to the strength of the army, but to the overall strength, including territory, population, economy, etc.; However, Cao Cao is not comparable to these people, his rapid rise has exceeded many people's expectations, can this kind of person have no means? Cao Cao can give up his family feud and not attack a rich place like Xuzhou, but attack the old department of Dong Zhuo in Chang'an, which is strong, is not a good decision from any point of view, so what is he for?

It took a long time for Zhang Yang to wake up to the fact that what Cao Cao was plotting was just one person! Who? - The Son of Heaven! Cao Cao is now going to be an identity! After getting the emperor, with Cao Cao's eloquence, he can play the emperor in applause and use it for him, which is simply a disaster!

Therefore, Zhang Yang has not been happy these days, he doesn't know whether he should join forces with Cao Cao to attack Chang'an, once he defeats the Xiliang army in Chang'an, where should the emperor go? Is it going to Xiliang? Is it to Hanoi? Still is... Yanzhou?

If there is a fight with Cao Cao because of this incident, will he be able to beat Cao Cao? These things made Zhang Yang's heart numb, and he didn't know what to do; "Uncle Childish! Come on! Drink with me! Lu Bu smiled happily, the face that had not been happy for a long time, but he was very happy in recent days, comparing his heart to his heart, Lu Bu is not the kind of person who is desperate for interests, in the case of fewer and fewer friends, the position of Zhang Yang in his heart is becoming more and more important;" Well! Here it comes! Zhang Yang smiled reluctantly and walked in the direction of Lu Bu; After a few glasses of spirits, Zhang Yang's face was slightly red, but he was even more melancholy in his heart: "Feng Xian!" … This march into Qinwang, which is dangerous, I hope you know... I know that you killed Ding Yuan so that our soldiers and soldiers would not be slaughtered by hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops... So, I hope that if I die in this war... Can you help me not to let our Merge Army die or wound again! ”

"What is this for? Who would dare to kill you? There is a certain Lu Feng first, no one wants to touch you! "Bang! Lu Bu slapped the table, slapped a palm print directly on the table, and said angrily; Lu Bu has been criticized all these years, just because he killed Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, only Zhang Yang understands him and knows his thoughts, how can Lu Bu be indifferent when his old friend suddenly said this?

"Huh! I know that Bongxian is brave! No one beats! But the Xiliang Army, Li Dao, and Guo Yan are not easy to get along with, and... Cao Cao! Li and Guo are compared to him, they are simply little grass cowards! His strategy is incomparable to ours! Perhaps the day of the Emperor's departure will be the time for me to fight him in a decisive battle! I can't let the Son of Heaven be held hostage anymore! ”

"In the war with Cao Cao, I have fewer victories and more defeats, so I hope you don't avenge me and don't do meaningless things!"

"I've always wished I could be the kind of person Wei and Huo, but I knew it was impossible! That's my dream, but it's out of reach! The person who can become Wei and Huo in the world may be you! Bongxian! Don't wander anymore! It's time to go home! It's time to go home! As if he was a little drunk, Zhang Yang burst into tears with excitement; But do I have a 'home'? Lu Bu asked in a trembling voice with red eyes; Yes! Zhang Yang replied firmly: "Bingzhou is our home!" We are there to fight against the aliens and defend the country! We drank liquor and killed the Huns there! We..."

Lu Bu clenched the wine bottle, his heart stirred, and state... The place he dreamed of returning to! But he also has a shameless mood, maybe just like Xiang Yu back then, he has too much notoriety, and can people in the state see anything else?

"Bongxian! You are not fit to survive in these troubled times, because you lack too much! All you have to do is cling to the strong! Maybe only someone like Cao Cao can let you show all your talents! Zhang Yang sighed; Then why don't you take refuge in Cao Cao if you are so optimistic? Lu Bu asked; Zhang Yang shook his head: "Because I am different from you, I am deeply favored by the royal family, and I can't abandon him when the Son of Heaven is in the most embarrassing situation!" This time! Maybe it's the last chance! A chance to revive the Han Dynasty! If I fail, then the Han Dynasty will never be able to turn over again! I've got so much to carry! It's not that I don't want to... But it can't! Do you understand? ”

The two drunken Chinese incoherently expounded some things that others didn't seem to understand, but they seemed to know each other's thoughts, and they didn't stop it, and some just supported, maybe this is - heart-to-heart!

Lü Bu and Zhang Yang are indeed different, because he is still a non-believer, and Zhang Yang has always believed in serving the Han Dynasty, which also causes him to be loyal to the Han Dynasty and cannot be loyal to others; Perhaps, as he said, he was the last hope of the Han Dynasty... The revival of a country cannot be relied on politics alone, but also on the military, without military support, everything is in vain!
