In the next few days, Cao Cao didn't know what his intentions were, and invited Zhang Huang to attend the party in his circle every day, or simply took Zhang Huang to the Red Fang and Hualou in Beijing.

Zhang Huang felt very puzzled about this, after all, it stands to reason that Cao Cao has become one of the eight captains of the West Garden, and he is the leader of the young generation of the Beijing Division, and Zhang Huang is nominally just Dong Zhuo's close attendant, the difference in status between the two is really huge, Zhang Huang really can't figure out what is the benefit of Cao Cao working so hard to get along with him.

If it was to recruit Zhang Huang, it would not be right, after all, Zhang Huang had clearly pointed out that he would not consider "turning his back" on Dong Zhuo for the time being, but Cao Cao showed an indifferent attitude towards this.

For this reason, Zhang Huang asked Cao Cao more than once, trying to find out the purpose in his heart, but every time Cao Cao smiled and said nothing, obviously he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

After asking a few words in a row, he didn't get an answer, so Zhang Huang simply didn't ask, after all, Cao Cao took him to eat and drink nonsense every day, and Zhang Huang didn't suffer a loss.

After three or five days, this peaceful and comfortable life changed.

On that day, when Zhang Huang returned to Dong Zhuo's mansion after saying goodbye to Cao Cao, he saw an extremely distinguished guest.

General He Jin, for now, the most powerful man in the Han court!

At least on the bright side.

With a nepotistic minister who climbed to such a height, and also held such authority, I have to say that He Jin was included in the list of heroes that Zhang Huang wanted to see with his own eyes, and he was only ranked below Huangfu Song.

But it's a pity that the general He Jin is different from Huangfu Song, this general who is above 10,000 people under one person, and his power is difficult to match even today's Dong Zhuo. Even if Dong Zhuo is introduced, I'm afraid He Jin will think about it before deciding whether to summon a nobody like Zhang Huang.

Therefore, although he was curious, Zhang Huang also did not mention this matter to Dong Zhuo with interest. Blocking the latter in vain.

But as the so-called world is unpredictable, when Zhang Huang followed Cao Cao to play in Luoyang for a few days, when he returned to Dong Zhuo's mansion today, he was stunned to find that the general He Jin was actually a guest in Dong Zhuo's mansion.

In this regard, Dong Zhuo was also a little surprised, he was not surprised that Zhang Huang would return to the house at this time, after all, strictly speaking, he and Zhang Huang were only "allies", and he would not restrict Zhang Huang's freedom.

Dong Zhuo was just surprised by the sudden visit of the general, and the unexpected general would choose to talk to him about something seemingly inconsequential in the front hall, and unexpectedly when Zhang Huang glanced curiously in the front hall but did not come in, General He Jin actually asked Zhang Huang instead, and hinted at him Dong Zhuo as an introduction.

Truly. It is true that Dong Zhuo is a reckless man with empty and brave skills, but this does not mean that he is a fool, where can he not see that General He Jin's sudden visit today, maybe there is something deep in it?

"This son is the nephew of Zhang Ji, the subordinate general of Zhuo, Zhang Xiu, who is still one year old and weak in the crown, but he has good skills. Especially in foot combat, Zhuo Shang is not capable of it. …… There are fewer than 10,000 enemies, and there are few opponents! ”

Dong Zhuo's evaluation of Zhang Huang is quite high. First, he admired Zhang Huang very much. Second, Zhang Huang is currently his own person under his command, and He Jin has the highest evaluation of Zhang Huang, so naturally he will pay more attention to Dong Zhuo.

"Oh?" Hearing this, He Jin shook his eyebrows. There was a bit of surprise in the tiger's eyes.

Although he had long known that Dong Zhuo valued Zhang Huang very much, he promoted him to a close attendant, and treated him more favorably than the latter's "uncle" Zhang Ji, but even so. He Jin still didn't expect Dong Zhuo to evaluate Zhang Huang with "there are few opponents under ten thousand enemies".

You must know that there are 10,000 enemies, and they are not comparable to ordinary brave generals, as the name suggests. It is a title that only a very small number of people can enjoy, and the very few people who have and completely master the power of the martial soul, and can almost be strong with a warrior who is invincible to ten thousand.

For example, Duan Xuan, a fierce general under Dong Zhuo, and Duan Xuan, who exerted all his strength, is the level of ten thousand enemies, and because of this, he can rely on the power of one person to redeem the bad negative impact caused by Han Sui's night attack on his military camp, so that Han Sui and the Qiang soldiers under his command can appreciate what it means to be a husband and a man.

This kind of military generals with the level of 10,000 enemies are very few in the entire Han Dynasty at present, and there are at most twenty or thirty people who can be verified by the imperial court, and even more generals are still hovering between "Xiao General" and "Ten Thousand Enemies", and they have not been able to cross that threshold for various reasons.

For example, Xu Kun and Cheng Pu, whom Zhang Huang met when he was in Guangling, were all powerful generals with their own martial spirits, but they still couldn't use that part of the inhuman power well, so they were only quasi-10,000 enemies at best. But even so, the strength of a quasi-10,000-level military general is quite terrifying.

And the scope of Dong Zhuo's sentence "below 10,000 enemies" obviously includes quasi-10,000 enemies.

"If that's the case, then He wants to see and understand." He Jin looked at Zhang Huang with a smile, quite a kind of joy when he saw the hunt.

It's not that he doesn't trust Dong Zhuo, he just thinks that there must be moisture in Dong Zhuo's words to Zhang Huang. After all, Zhang Huang's age is too young, he is nineteen years old, and he is quasi-10,000 enemies, this is simply a handsome man in ten thousand!

At this time, Zhang Huang was looking at He Jin curiously. Contrary to his earlier expectations, He Jin's appearance was very ordinary, and it could even be said that he was rough and unkempt, and the image of the bearded scum looked like a powerful general of the dynasty, stripped of his luxurious clothes and stripped off a butcher who sold meat in the market.

The only special thing is that He Jin has an inexplicable affinity, as straightforward and bold as Dong Zhuo. Zhang Huang sincerely believes that if He Jin is really a butcher, then he must be the kind of bold man who does business and adds some offcuts as a gift, which makes people inadvertently full of good feelings for him.

So, Zhang Huang raised his head and looked straight at He Jin, although he didn't speak, but he acquiesced to He Jin's test, and his attitude was very calm and confident, which made He Jin secretly surprised.

"He Wu, you go."

Looking at Zhang Huang with a smile, He Jin instructed the guards behind him.

"Contemptible?" The guard of He Wu froze, his expression a little reluctant.

It's no wonder, after all, this guard looks to be in his thirties, and Zhang Huang is just a young man who is less than twenty years old, and besides, he is the bodyguard of General He Jin, and Zhang Huang is just a junior with no name.

This is clearly bullying the small!

Victory is not martial!

But even if the heart is reluctant. He Wu still held his fists and took the order, after all, it was the order of the lord He Jin, and he didn't dare to disobey. Although he thought in his heart that this kind of thing would be enough to summon a general accompanying him outside the hall.

"No!"

Because it was inconvenient to compete in the hall, everyone moved to the courtyard in front of the court, which was more than 200 steps in front of the court, which was enough for Zhang Huang and He Wu to display their skills.

During this period, He Jin explained to Dong Zhuo with a smile that it was roughly that He Wu's original surname was not surnamed He, and he had no blood relationship with He Jin, and He Jin only valued this person's martial arts. Therefore, he was promoted to personal bodyguard and given the surname of the lord's family.

After all, the great general He Jin loves and treats skilled warriors well, which is a well-known thing in the government and the opposition.

Dong Zhuo nodded and said that he understood, because the surname of the lord was given to the retainers and guards who were valued and loved, and this phenomenon was also common in the scholar clan.

However, it is certain that since he can be recognized and respected by He Jin, it is obvious that the strength of this He Wu should not be underestimated.

"Please advise!"

In the venue in front of the court, He Wu clasped his fists at Zhang Huang. Although his tone was very calm, it was evident in the eyes of his eyes. He didn't attach much importance to Zhang Huang.

"Where, where."

On the contrary, Zhang Huang looked at He Wu intently for a moment, and then came to the conclusion that this person's strength should be a few points stronger than Cheng Pu when he met Zhang Huang. But it's also limited.

Brother Cheng's level almost a year ago was ......

The corners of Zhang Huang's mouth hung a faint smile.

If it was Zhang Huang a year ago, I would probably have a bit of a headache when he encountered such an opponent, but if he was Zhang Huang today, to be honest, this kind of opponent really made him a little unmotivated.

It's not that Zhang Huang is arrogant. It's really that after he created his own "curved step", few people can beat him with bare hands or white blades.

Sure enough, facing He Wu's seemingly tiger-like fist. With a strong and fierce kick, Zhang Huang took a few steps back at first, and then jumped lightly and turned sideways, avoiding them all, walking easily like a courtyard without pressure.

"Huh?" He Jin's eyes vaguely showed a bit of discoloration, where could he not see that the kid named Zhang Xiu in front of him was almost just a few breaths, and he figured out He Wu's routine.

The guards of the dignified general, in the face of a junior with no name, repeatedly rushed to attack to no avail, although He Jin had a little expectation before, but he did not expect that the difference in strength between the two was so obvious.

"The fist and foot kung fu is quite solid."

He Jin praised Zhang Huang lightly, although Zhang Huang never attacked from beginning to end, but for He Jin and Dong Zhuo, even if Zhang Huang didn't make a move, they could see the gap between the two.

He Jin's praise made He Wu's face blush, he glanced at Zhang Huang with an unwilling face, and immediately pleaded with He Jin: "General, fists and feet are not my strength, I implore the two of us to hold the blade." ”

He Jin thought about it slightly, although Zhang Huang's performance just now was very eye-catching, it was too early to ask He Jin to approve of Dong Zhuo's evaluation of Zhang Huang to this extent.

He glanced at Zhang Huang and saw that Zhang Huang still had an indifferent expression, so he nodded and said, "It's over." ”

As soon as the words fell, He Jin's personal soldiers presented a sword to Zhang Huang and He Wu respectively. In this era, the sword is the first of a hundred soldiers, the most respected weapon in the world, and no warrior will say that he is not good at swordsmanship.

Different from Zhang Huang's indifference, He Wu's momentum with a sword in his hand rose by several points, which made the former slightly surprised, after all, this level of momentum has approached the Julu Taishou Guo Dian who fought Zhang Huang when he was in Jizhou.

It seems that Zhang Huang's judgment of He Wu's strength is still a little wrong, and He Wu, as the guard of the great general He Jin, is far more powerful than what Fang just revealed.

But even so, Dong Zhuo looked at He Wu's expression as if he was holding the victory, but he secretly shook his head.

He may not know about others, but Zhang Huang, how can he not know?

Zhang Huang is best at spearmanship and swordsmanship, and as Dong Zhuo commented before, although Zhang Huang's spearmanship is higher than swordsmanship, Zhang Huang, who performs swordsmanship on flat ground, is definitely more terrifying and amazing than Zhang Huang who performs spearmanship on horseback.

In the follow-up competition, Dong Zhuo can guess the victory or defeat even if he doesn't look at it, when Zhang Huang, who is good at "twisting steps", understands the rhythm of the opponent's shot, the opponent has no chance to win at all.

No, after fighting with He Wuyou for more than a dozen moves, Zhang Huang took advantage of the fact that the other party still had no time to accept the recruitment. Handed out the sword lightly, pointed the tip of the sword at He Wu's throat, and the whole process was like a green cloud and flowing water, indescribably smooth.

"......" He Jin's tiger eyes were a little more colorful.

You must know that He Jin did not simply rely on his sister He Meiren to be favored by Liu Hong, the son of heaven, to have such a monstrous power today, and his own force should not be underestimated, including his half-brother He Miao, who later crusaded against the rebellious Xingyang thieves as easily as drinking water and eating.

To be precise, He Meiren at best helped his eldest brother He Jin become Henan Yin, and then He Jin climbed to the captain of Sili. From the captain of Sili to the Marquis of Shen and the general, in addition to the grace of the Son of Heaven Liu Hong Aiwu and Wu, He Jin's own strength also played a pivotal role.

According to the gossip circulating in Luoyang, there are very few brothers in the world who may be able to win the current He Jin and He Miao brothers, Duan Cheng who died in prison at the beginning is counted as one, and Dong Chong, who was eliminated by He Jin, is counted as one, and the rest is unknown.

In this way, it is conceivable how strong He Jin is.

And in He Jin's estimate. The strength of Zhang Huang and He Wu should be similar, even if Zhang Huang has a long qi, but to win against He Wu, it shouldn't be so easy. But the truth is. Zhang Huang defeated his heavy guards in three and two clicks, it was incredible!

This kid seems to be naturally good at figuring out his opponent's moves......

Recalling that Zhang Huang lightly avoided He Wu's many moves, He Jin was very surprised in his heart.

You must know that being good at figuring out the opponent's moves is tantamount to being invincible early. And a martial artist with this kind of talent that can only be understood and cannot be passed on can often become a hero who shocks the world.

And just when He Jin was secretly shocked by Zhang Huang's outstanding talent, He Wu, who was pointed at his throat by Zhang Huang with a sword, was annoyed and angry. He never thought that Zhang Huang, who looked inconspicuous at first glance, would defeat him so easily, and beat him twice in a row.

The more he thought about it, the more embarrassed he became, and suddenly, He Wu gritted his teeth and lashed out, and with a sword in his hand, he swung away the sword that Zhang Huang pointed at his throat, and the breath on his body increased dramatically. What's more, I saw him take a deep breath, and his whole body was slowly filled with gray mist.

Obviously, He Wu, who was embarrassed and angry, was going to sacrifice the martial spirit's biggest posterior move.

Seeing this change, Zhang Huang's eyes also became a little solemn, after all, there are many kinds of martial souls of martial artists, not to mention, there are many incredible abilities, even Zhang Huang does not dare to underestimate it, lest he overturn in the gutter.

And at this time, I suddenly heard He Jin snort heavily, and in an instant, He Wu's stronger and stronger aura was instantly dispersed, as if he had been knocked a hammer, and his face was red.

“……”

Zhang Huang glanced at He Jin with some surprise, he was very shocked that He Jin's powerful aura that had just burst out in an instant surpassed Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian. Even if He Jin's target was not Zhang Huang, Zhang Huang still felt a chill in his back, and he was terrified.

Such a majestic momentum...... It's no less than the earth sword losing ears!

Zhang Huang looked at He Jin without saying a word, looking at this man who was a butcher in the market without his luxurious clothes, it was difficult to connect it with Fang Cai's instantaneous powerful aura.

"If you lose, you lose, how can you be afraid of success or failure? Say that until you get to the point, you don't need to add to it! Retire! He Jin shouted at He Wu unceremoniously with a straight face.

When He Wu heard this, he immediately put away his sword and returned to He Jin's side with a face full of shame.

At this time, He Jincai looked at Zhang Huang and nodded to Dong Zhuo and sighed: "Sure enough, as Zhong Ying said, young heroes!" ”

Although Dong Zhuo felt a little inexplicable, he could still hear the tone in He Jin's words, and hurriedly said: "Although this son is deployed by Zhuo, he also serves the general!" …… If you can get the general's favor, it will be a blessing and luck for this son! ”

When speaking, Dong Zhuo frequently hinted at Zhang Huang, seeing this, Zhang Huang also hugged his fists and said: "I am willing to serve the general!" ”

"Good! Good! He Jin's ruddy face was full of joy, and he nodded again and again and said: "You have such a ability at a young age, you are really a young hero!" Don't miss it! As he spoke, he pondered for a moment and continued: "General Ben wants to recommend you as Captain Fenyang, are you willing?" ”

Zhang Huang was dumbfounded when he heard this, and Dong Zhuo next to him also had a ghostly expression. You must know that Captain Fenyang is the captain in charge of the army in the general's palace system, and his authority is definitely not under Cao Cao's military captain.

What's the situation? It's just that after winning He Jin's escort, He Jin wants to recommend himself as the captain of Fenyang?

Zhang Huang and Dong Zhuo glanced at each other, and both felt that this matter was a little incomprehensible.

"What, don't want to?" He Jin asked with a smile.

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he hurriedly signaled Zhang Huang with his eyes, in fact, he didn't need him to hint, Zhang Huang had already hugged his fists and thanked sincerely: "Thank you, General!" ”

"Hahahaha!"

Under the confused gaze of Zhang Huang and Dong Zhuo, He Jin smiled and walked outside the mansion.

When he walked to Zhang Huang's side, He Jin suddenly stopped, looked at Zhang Huang and squinted his eyes and said, "I heard that you have been quite close to the Cao family in the past few days?" ”

Zhang Huang chuckled in his heart, and he didn't know what He Jin's words meant, so he had to reply stiffly: "Cao Cao...... I do have some friendship with embroidery. ”

"Huh!" He Jin glanced at Zhang Huang, and suddenly patted Zhang Huang's shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't be restrained, He just asked casually." …… It's just that Cao Agui's status is not low, you get close to him, or someone will dirty you Gaopan. But now that you are my general Fenyang, he will go in plain armor when he meets him in the future, so there should be no gossip. ”

With that, He Jin left directly, leaving only Dong Zhuo and Zhang Huang, who were confused, looking at each other.

This...... What do you mean?

Zhang Huang really didn't understand.

That night, He Jin sent someone to send the armor of Captain Fenyang, a battle jacket and a light armor, the former was worn in the barracks, and the latter was equivalent to civilian clothes representing status. In addition, there is a lieutenant token engraved with the word "Fenyang".

If you really won a competition, you became an official?

That's too easy, right?

Zhang Huang couldn't laugh or cry, feeling that this matter was a bit strange.

As a result, the next day, when Cao Cao invited Zhang Huang out for a drink again, and saw Zhang Huang wearing the light armor of a school captain, Cao Cao's expression looked a little playful.

"What did the general mention of you?"

"Captain Fenyang." Zhang Huang had just finished speaking, and suddenly felt that Cao Cao's inquiry was a little intriguing.

And Cao Cao, the inscrutable playful smile on his face was also a little stronger.

"Captain Fenyang, it's enough to be on an equal footing with the military captain of Cao......"

Cao Cao's suggestive emotion made Zhang Huang's mind turn suddenly.

Don't......

Suddenly, Zhang Huang woke up, summing up General He Jin's strange behavior yesterday, he finally realized that He Jin's promotion of him as Captain Fenyang was definitely not as simple as because Zhang Huang defeated He Wu or unilaterally took a fancy to him.

Instead, it should be that He Jin gave Zhang Huang a chance to contact Cao Cao on an equal footing.

Cao Mengde, this guy......

After understanding, Zhang Huang couldn't help but grit his teeth at Cao Cao, because it was Cao Cao who single-handedly contributed to this matter.

It is very likely that the forces represented by Cao Cao had the idea of contacting General He Jin, but they were afraid of exposing their whereabouts, so they used Zhang Huang, a pawn, to attract He Jin's idea. And now He Jin recommended Zhang Huang as the captain of Fenyang, which is equivalent to Cao Cao's status, which implies that He Jin also has the meaning of contact with the force behind Cao Cao in his heart.

To put it simply, Zhang Huang and Cao Cao will become the pawns of He Jin to secretly test and negotiate with a certain force behind Cao Cao.

As for which force is behind Cao Cao? Cao's family, Xiahou's family? Or is it a civilian-bureaucratic clique that includes the government and the opposition?

Although Zhang Huang couldn't guess it, he could vaguely think of a few points.

And the forces behind He Jin and Cao Cao have revealed hints to each other that they want to make contact, does this mean that these two forces want to join forces to deal with some things? Or, deal with some people?

Swallowing his saliva, Zhang Huang, who was covered in cold sweat, suddenly realized that he was most likely dragged into a rather remarkable event by Cao Cao.

What is the cusp of the storm, this is it! (To be continued......)
