Chapter 155: Step towards the Ambition in Your Heart!
Unexpectedly...... Actually won?
When Guo Tai and a group of relatively young Yellow Turban soldiers surrounded Zhang Huang and happily returned to Pingxiang County, the faces of generals Bian Xi and Lang Ping were undoubtedly ugly. You must know that Guo Dian, who is "bound to the tiger and is too guarded", is not a character who wants to be with him, and he has fully proved the bravery of this Taishou lord in the battle, but even so, he lost to their young commander because of the lack of calculation, which made Bian Xi and Lang Ping feel very aggrieved in their hearts.
In this battle, Bian Xi and their eight Yellow Turban generals did not play the slightest role, and they were purely acting as wooden stakes under the Shuai banner, so when Zhang Huang and the others passed by them with joy on their faces, they unconsciously lowered their heads. They originally thought that without their help in this battle, Zhang Huang would definitely be constrained left and right, and it would be difficult to move an inch, but the result of the fact was like a slap in the face of them, which made them ashamed and couldn't help but hesitate.
After all, Zhang Huang is the successor of the general Zhang Liang, although he has no reputation in the Yellow Turban Army at the moment, but he has real power, don't look at Bian Xi and others as generals, but as long as Zhang Huang says a word, they will not be much different from ordinary pawns. This is also the reason why Bian Xi and others did not dare to clash with Zhang Huang face-to-face, and adopted this method of "non-violence and non-cooperation".
And in the same way, Zhang Huang also ignored Bian Xi's group of Yellow Turban generals who deliberately avoided his eyes, although he also felt that if he could get the support of these generals, the Jizhou Yellow Turban under his command would inevitably develop more smoothly in the future, but since Bian Xi and others had expressed their hostility, it was naturally impossible for Zhang Huang to use his hot face to stick to people's cold butts, anyway, the huge Jizhou Yellow Turban, and it was not impossible to operate without Bian Xi and others, among the young Yellow Turban sergeants, There are a lot of outstanding young generals like Guo Tai waiting for Zhang Huang's excavation.
"Yo, third uncle!"
After walking into the city. Zhang Huang saw Zhang Liang walking down from the city wall at first sight, and couldn't help but smile in his heart. Because since Zhang Liang gave him all the authority, he has always expressed his lack of desire and desire for nothing, regardless of whether Zhang Huang leads the Yellow Turban Army to glory or to destruction, but his actions sometimes are not the same at all.
Zhang Huang bet that Zhang Liang must have been watching this battle between him and Guo Dian from the city wall. This shows that this general still takes the Yellow Turban Army very seriously in his heart, but it is just possible that it is inconvenient to come forward again for some special reason.
"Hmm." was blocked by Zhang Huang, and Zhang Liang's face was slightly unnatural. After nodding in response, he glanced at Zhang Huang, who tilted his head and looked like a smile, frowned, and pretended not to care, "Hmph! The battle was fairly good. ”
"Yo, thank you Third Uncle."
Zhang Huangwen felt a little flattered, after all, since he met Zhang Liang, he had never heard Zhang Liang say words of approval, and today was really the first time in the world.
It's a pity that Zhang Huang will be wrong. I saw that after he finished speaking, Zhang Liang glanced at him with a sneer, and suddenly raised his hand to point at Guo Tai and the others beside him, and said lightly. "Don't be mistaken, I'm talking about them."
When Guo Tai and other Yellow Turban soldiers beside Zhang Huang heard this, they were immediately flattered, and they all knocked on the ground and thanked them in fear. "Thank you for the reputation of the general, the last general is ashamed!"
[I knew ......]
Zhang Huang pursed his lips in a daze, just now he was still wondering what kind of dirty thing Zhang Liang had eaten to praise him. It turned out that he was wrong.
Scratching his head, Zhang Huang said angrily, "Na, third uncle, if you don't have anything important, let's go and reward the merits first, and don't bother you to look at the scenery here." ”
This obvious hurried kiss made Zhang Liang roll his eyes when he heard it, and after shaking his head helplessly, he dropped a sentence and turned away.
"Remember to send someone to clean up the battlefield, don't cause a plague!"
"Don't worry, it's been arranged a long time ago." Zhang Huang shouted from afar, but he didn't know if Zhang Liang heard it.
Seeing Zhang Liang walk away, Zhang Huang took Guo Tai and others, who only dared to step forward at this time, to the mansion of the city council, which was originally the county government of this county, but after Taiping Dao developed the county order of this county into believers, this became the military headquarters of the Yellow Turban Army.
In fact, there is nothing to say about the appreciation of merit, because in addition to Zhang Huang, the biggest hero in this battle is Guo Tai, a young general who served as a pioneer general, therefore, Zhang Huang followed the reward system of the imperial court, and Guo Tai was promoted to a general because of his merits. The rest of the people who had merit were all promoted by one level, and as for those like Bian Xi and Lang Ping who did not contribute to this battle, they did not come to make do with it, after all, what they did Zhang Huang did not dismiss them was already very face-saving.
was promoted from a herald to a general step by step, and it is undeniable that Guo Tai smiled from ear to ear. However, after thanking Zhang Huang for his reward, he did not leave in a hurry, but asked cautiously, "I wonder if there is still a shortage of people under the little heavenly master?" ”
Zhang Huang was happy when he heard it, pointed to the empty conference hall, and teased angrily, "Look inside this room...... What do you think? ”
Guo Tai scratched his hair a little embarrassed, and after hesitating for a moment, he said tentatively, "That...... The last general has two partners in the army who have been with him for many years, he is clever, and his martial arts are okay, I don't know what the little heavenly master means......"
Zhang Huang suddenly heard this, it turned out that Guo Tai saw that he was developed and wanted to pull a former little friend, and of course he Zhang Huang did not refuse to come, after all, Guo Tai is a famous Bai Bo Shuai in history, and he may be able to recommend a few Bai Bo Shuai for him.
"What's the name of those two? Where are you now? ”
"Returning to the Little Heavenly Master, one is called Han Xian, who is now serving as the commander of the army under General Bian Xi, and the other is called Yang Feng, this person is under the command of the Little Heavenly Master, and he is also in battle today......"
[Han Xian: Bai Boshuai, in history, he was a general during the escort of the emperor, and he also received the lieutenant of Sili, so these two positions are a bit watery, but it is undeniable that Bai Boshuai is a figure that even Dong Zhuo is a little afraid of. (Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, the main reason was not only the advance of the alliance of the Kwantung princes, but he was also afraid that the Baibo army would unite with the princes' alliance and copy his back road.) )】
[Yang Feng: Bai Boshuai, after Dong Zhuo's defeat in history, he was recruited by Li Dao to help him attack Guo Yan. In the course of history, he almost advanced and retreated with Han Xian, which can be called the best partner. It is worth mentioning. This guy was lucky to have a very powerful subordinate of the cavalry lieutenant in the early days, that is, Xu Huang, who later defected to Cao Cao. 】
"Han Xian, Yang Feng......" Zhang Huang squinted his eyes and muttered these two names, and couldn't help but be a little happy in his heart, although Bai Bo Shuai was a little unable to get on the stage in front of famous generals such as the Five Tiger Generals and the Five Ziliang Generals, but compared to Bian Xi, a guy who was completely reduced to a supporting role in the later stage of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it was undoubtedly much more outstanding, at least he was the backbone of the White Bo Yellow Turban Army with the same name as the Yellow Turban in Montenegro.
Although it is said that the fate of these guys in history is not very good, but the reason is nothing more than because these guys are brave and less wise, which is a common problem of most martial artists. And Zhang Huang believes that he is under his constraints. These bad boys shouldn't go into a relatively miserable fate.
Having made up his mind, Zhang Huang Zhengse said, "You go and recruit the two of them, and they will be used under my account in the future!" ”
Guo Tai was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly clasped his fists and responded, "No! The last general will go and recruit the two of them! ”
After all the things were done, Zhang Huang returned to his residence, after all, he also knew that Cai Yan was very worried about his situation, although after saying that after the victory, he sent a personal soldier back to his residence to report the good news. But I believe that Cai Yan will be very worried before he sees him with his own eyes.
"I believe that after this battle, Ah Huang's reputation in the Yellow Turban Army will definitely increase."
After returning to the residence, Cai Yan, who was still waiting, praised Zhang Huang slightly. After all, Zhang Huang has been in a mess by Guo Dian in the past few days.
"I hope so." Taking a sip of the tea handed over by Cai Yan, Zhang Huang couldn't help but think of the victory in this battle when he passed through the city pass, when the generals Bian Xi and Lang Ping were pale and frightened, and they were very happy in their hearts. said with a smile, "Zhaoji, didn't you see what Bian Xi's guys looked like at that time. It's just a daylight look, haha......"
Cai Yan covered his mouth and chuckled a few times when he heard this, and then immediately admonished, "Ah Huang is indeed indispensable to winning this battle, but don't be proud of it, you must know that you can win this battle because Guo Dian doesn't know you very well." I believe that after today, Guo Dian will definitely regard you as a fierce rival......"
"I know." Zhang Huang nodded when he heard this.
In fact, there is no need for Cai Yan to remind Zhang Huang that he can defeat Guo Dian in this battle, except that he used Guo Tai's small calculation of Guo Dian, the biggest key is that the demon soul [Yiwu] can dispel the incredible power of the clouds, so that Guo Dian's army, who had planned to attack the Yellow Turban in Jizhou on a cloudy day, had to face the sun and fight the Yellow Turban soldiers, so that the wind direction on the battlefield suddenly reversed. And if it is in a certain situation, I believe that Guo Dian will never stupidly choose to attack in the direction of the sun.
Guo Dian ...... Indeed, I am not the only one who can win it. After pondering for a moment, Zhang Huang sighed and said. Although he won a small victory, he was also targeted by Guo Dian because of this, and he didn't know whether it was a profit or a loss.
"However, even if Guo Dian is strong, there is only one person...... Next time, if he comes to attack again, I will repeat the same trick, and I believe I can delay a little bit or two! ”
"I'm afraid Guo Dian won't be tricked again next time......" Cai Yan shook his head with a disoptimistic attitude, thinking about it, he can understand that the key to winning this battle is Zhang Huang and Guo Tai, I believe that even if Guo Dian forgets the others, he will never forget these two guys who made him lose face.
If Guo Dian attacks again next time, I believe that this person will definitely sit firmly in the Chinese army, so that whether it is Zhang Huang or Guo Tai, I am afraid that there will be no more achievements.
"There are still too few generals under Ah Huang's command who can take charge alone......" Cai Yan sighed faintly and said what Zhang Huang thought in his heart.
But isn't it, if Chen Dao, Tai Shici, Zang Ba, Li Tong, Xu Fu and others are all there, how can Zhang Huang care about Guo Dian, let alone win this battle, I believe that a few people will rush up and put down Guo Dian with a fist.
It's a pity......
"I don't know what happened to Ah to the trillions of them......"
Came to the window with the teacup, Zhang Huang raised the teacup in his hand, saluted the firmament, and muttered: "Although it is difficult, but it is a step to defeat Guo Dian, I believe that the brothers, at this time, they must be moving forward towards their own goals......
-- At the same time --
After bidding farewell to Zhang Huang and his brothers, Li Tong came to Chengshi County in Jiyin County alone to visit the local families with the same surname, the Li family in Jiyin and Shanyang.
The one who opened the door was a young man of the same age as Li Tong, who was born burly and strong. With thick eyebrows and big eyes, red lips and white teeth, you can tell at a glance that he is a martial artist.
"Trillions?"
Li Tong, who was thinking heavily, subconsciously raised his head when he heard this, and a slight smile appeared on his still tense face, and he greeted with a fist, "Young Master, don't come to harm!" ”
[Li Quan, the word Duanfang, the son of Li Gan, the head of the Li family in Juye County, Shanyang County, Li Dian's brother, and Cao Wei deployed in the future. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he gathered thousands of diners with his father Li Qian. Guarding the Jiyin Chengshi and Shanyang Juye, he blocked the only way for the troops to go south to the south of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Xiaoqu Shuai Bai Rao in Shouzhang County, Dongping Guoshou, and then attached himself to Cao Cao to defeat Bai Rao and recover the Dongping Kingdom. After his father Li Qian was killed by Lu Bu's generals Xue Lan and Li Feng, Cao Cao made Li Quan lead his father's old troops and defeated Xue Lan and Li Feng with the generals. Later, because of his meritorious service to the counties of Pingyanzhou, he was promoted to the history of Qingzhou. 】
"You kid!" The young man raised his fist angrily and hammered Li Tong's shoulder socket hard, and then pointed at Li Tong and said angrily, "Now even your man Cheng kid will learn from you." Go out and call me some big young master, so that I have been tricked by him several times and can't come to the stage......"
"Mancheng?" The joy on Li Tongyan's face became even stronger when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "He's there too?" ”
As soon as the words fell. Then another stout and sturdy young man ran out of the mansion and said in a loud voice, "How come I heard the voice of a trillion? …… Trillion? Are you really? ”
With that, the young man stepped forward and hugged Li Tong ecstatically. Keep patting him on the back.
[Li Dian, the word Mancheng, is the son of Li Gan, the head of the Li family in Juye County, Shanyang County. In the future deployment of Cao Wei, a famous Confucian general and wise general, he was familiar with military books and had both civil and military skills. Shou Zhang broke the yellow scarf, Hebei beat Yuan Shao, Hefei blocked Sun Quan, can be said to be prosperous, but it is a pity that he died at the age of thirty-six, and the typical genius of heaven does not live long. (Congzi: During the Han Dynasty, the two generations of great-ancestors were called nephews, the third generation was called Congzi, and the fourth generation could only be called the son.) Li Dian here is the grandson of Li Quan's grandfather's brother. By the way, according to the relationship between the characters, Li Dian can call Li Cheng his brother, while Li Tong can only call Li Cheng his brother because he has been in the clan for four generations. At that time, the concept of clan relations between large families was quite rigorous. )】
Li Quan and Li Dian invited Li Tong into the mansion, and while walking, Li Dian couldn't help but ask, "Trillions, I heard that you were very happy in Runan a while ago, why haven't you heard from you anymore?" ”
Hearing this, Li Tong couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, after all, at that time, he gathered more than a dozen local athletes, doing the ranger business of robbing the rich and helping the poor, but unfortunately he was later touched by Zhang Huang who was passing by, and he didn't win a fight, so he didn't even lose to Zhang Huang as a junior brother. Although he said that he had done a lot of great things with Zhang Huang and Li Tong, how could he be embarrassed to mention such a thing as being a junior brother to two brothers of the same generation, so Li Tong vaguely said that he was wanted by the government at that time and left his hometown to travel.
"I see." Li Cheng and Li Dian nodded from the two brothers in a sudden understanding. In this era of war and chaos, in fact, there are many chivalrous and courageous heroes among the children of wealthy families in various places, and when they are young and frivolous, they lead some people to openly rob some rich businessmen who are not benevolent to the rich, even if they are wanted by the government, they are not afraid at all, and still implement this kind of "chivalrous" and "benevolent" thinking. Of course, this refers to the martial arts, some scholarly sons and buddies are still quite clean, after all, they need a good reputation to become officials in the future, only those like Li Tong who were born in a martial arts family and are destined to be uneducated because they are not educated, they will indulge themselves to make a name for themselves, and if they are lucky, they will be favored by the imperial court as a martial artist, which is also a way out. After all, the Han Dynasty followed Huang Lao and Confucianism, and the criminal law was relatively light, and unless there were many evils and it was difficult to write, it was rarely executed by the imperial court in public.
"Then why did you go back to the sect?"
Asking and asking, Li Dian asked the reason why Li Tong came here, after all, Li Tong and Li Dian were born in the same family as the Li family in Shanyang, if it wasn't for the important matter, the brothers would rarely have the opportunity to get together, otherwise Li Cheng and Li Dian would not be so happy and excited to see Li Tong.
"I ......" The smile on Li Tong's face slowly retracted when he said this, and after a little hesitation, he whispered, "I want to ask to see my grandfather, I don't know if he is in the house?" ”
"......" Li Chuan and Li Dian were stunned for a moment. You must know that in today's Li family, there is only one old man who can be called a grandfather by Li Tong in terms of generation, and that is the brother of Li Quan's deceased grandfather, the elder of the Li family, Li Jin, who is over half a hundred years old.
"The clan brother has suffered a loss outside?" Li Quan also put away the smile on his face and asked cautiously.
"It's not what my brother thinks, but ...... It's not much worse. Recalling the terrifying strength of the Fifth Gong Yuan, Tang Zhou, and the Heavenly Sword Restoration and Earth Sword Loss, Li Tong shook his head and sighed.
Seeing this, Li Dian stopped joking, and after glancing at Li Quan, he said in a low voice, "The grandfather of the clan is in the backyard of the house, the firewood house on the right side of the vegetable garden...... The grandfather doesn't like me and other juniors to disturb the noise, and you can go by yourself. ”
Li Tong nodded, clenched his fists and said, "In that case, I'll go to see my grandfather first." ”
"Well, I'll talk about it until night."
"Talk while eating and drinking." Li Quan and Li Dian also hugged each other.
After bidding farewell to Li Quan and Li Dian, Li Tong compared the location of the Zong's mansion in his memory and walked towards the vegetable garden in the backyard. As soon as I walked to the vegetable garden, I saw an old man with a pale beard carrying a bucket of dung and using a spoon to fertilize the land.
Li Tong stepped forward, respectfully knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the old man in front of him, and called, "Grandfather is well." ”
The old man glanced back at Li Tong, but he didn't say hello, and Gu Zi finished the work at hand. And Li Tong was not in a hurry, kneeling on the ground and waiting reverently.
After all the land in the vegetable garden was fertilized, the old man took a rag and wiped his hands, turned his head with a smile, nodded approvingly, and said, "Compared with the past, your heart is much firmer today, and it seems that you have experienced a lot of training outside, Wenda...... Children can be taught. Get up! He beckoned Li Tong to get up.
However, Li Tong still knelt on the ground and refused to get up, and after a little hesitation, he fell to the ground and pleaded, "From my grandfather, I want to learn from ten thousand enemies, and I hope to teach me from my grandfather!" ”
"Ten Thousand enemies ......" The old man was slightly stunned, and then a bit of sharp light bloomed in his cloudy eyes, squinted, and looked at Li Tong intently.
At the same time, the coarse cloth clothes on his body moved without wind, and the terrifying power that was even stronger than Sun Jian suddenly pressed on Li Tong's heart.
[Good...... What a strong power......]
Li Tong was shocked in his heart, but his bright eyes still looked at Li Jin with a bright eye, and he did not avoid it because of the fear in his heart, even if the bones of his whole body were oppressed by the invisible power and creaked.
"But the old man has lost his eyes......"
The old man looked at Li Tong unexpectedly, and his wrinkled old face showed a look of approval.
"You...... has been more carved than the old man expected......" (to be continued......)
