"The emperor's power is supreme, the whole world is his, I just work for him, and it is up to him to decide what he wants to reward." Zhang Chao didn't understand Zuo Feng's words, and he was still talking there in a decent manner.

"Hey, there are no outsiders here, tell me what you want, I'll find a way to help you get it when the time comes." Zuo Feng waved his hand, there is no need to say this, you are facing me now, not the emperor, just say what you want.

"Can you say that?" Zhang Chao asked as if he had suddenly realized.

"Of course, you just have to open your mouth. As long as it's not too difficult, I can help you fight for it. Zuo Feng said with a very confident look. He also believed that when the time came, as long as he said some good things about this person in front of Emperor Han Ling, ordinary things could be accomplished.

"Hmm." Zhang Chao's eyes lit up and then said: "That's the case, I have always wanted to be a general, and this time I defeated the Yellow Turban Thief, which can be regarded as sweeping away the thieves, and the name of a Bandit General is not too much." ”

General Dangkou, one of the miscellaneous generals. It's just that he is a martial artist from the sixth grade, which is nothing, and he can also get a name by virtue of this military exploit, not to mention those treasures.

"Well, it's not too much to ask, but you won't ask for that." Zuo Feng was a little reluctant, he had already hinted so much, and he really just asked for a miscellaneous general who was not very big, which was really a bit underestimating himself.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, officials had not yet been divided into grades, but the name of a general was really nothing. Zhang Chao deliberately mentioned this first, in order to have a name first, and now that the name is available, the other party has to make a request, so he said: "If I can, I will also be like my brother, become the Taishou of one side, and make my own contribution to the stability of the people of one side." ”

Too shou a position, at that time there was no quality, but if you have to talk about it, it can be regarded as four products, as for whether it is four products or from four products, it depends on the size of its governance scope.

"Oh, your brother is Chen Liutaishou, right, then you need to think about it." Hearing that he had asked for his duties, Zuo Feng didn't agree immediately. After all, the general Taishou has a place, and it takes a lot of work to arrange it.

"Yes, everything is still going to be troublesome for adults. In this way, when I get back, I will prepare some good things to go to the capital, and then I will have to trouble you. Zhang Chao saw that there was a door to the matter, so he struck while the iron was hot.

The subtext of this sentence is that as long as things can be done, there will still be benefits.

Thinking that these benefits are all these this time, then there will be no less next time, Zuo Feng also smiled with satisfaction. "Okay, you go back to Chen to stay first, and when I finish investigating the affairs in the army, I will go back to the capital and run for your affairs, at that time, the emperor must see you, you are ready."

This is equivalent to Zuo Feng agreeing, and also agreeing to ask for further benefits, and will work hard for his affairs.

People's greed is endless, and Zuo Feng is willing to help Zhang Chao for the sake of money. Why not? And that's exactly what he was asking for.

The two hit it off, and they both laughed out loud at the moment.

Seeing that it was getting late, the two didn't say anything, said goodbye immediately, and went their separate ways.

There is no treasure to be escorted, Zhang Chao and his party are very fast, according to his meaning, they will not rest tonight, and return to Chen Liucheng overnight.

Zhao Yun saw that all the treasures were given away, but the lord seemed to be very happy, but he was a little puzzled, if all these good things were exchanged for money, they could buy a lot of military supplies to equip the army.

Of course, even if Zhang Chao is not in a hurry, it is useless for him to be in a hurry, he just needs to follow the lord overnight.

At the fifth watch, Zhang Chao and others returned to Chenliu, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city saw that the second son had returned, so they hurriedly opened the city gate. A group of people went out silently, and when they came back, it was silent, and it was a bit unaware.

As soon as he returned to the second prince's mansion, Guo Jia rushed over.

As soon as he saw Guo Jia, Zhang Chao, who had just changed into a clean white dress under the service of Bai Tong and others, laughed and said: "Fengxiao, this time thanks to you guarding the city, I can do things with confidence." ”

"The lord praised it falsely, don't you know, with those cavalry patrolling every day, where will anyone dare to make trouble, even some of the scattered Yellow Turban troops nearby don't dare to fight Chen Liu's idea." Guo Jia also laughed. Obviously, because of the shock of the heavy cavalry led by Zhang Rui, the city has been very quiet.

"Okay." Zhang Chao smiled and patted Guo Jia on the shoulder and invited him to sit down. He is very relieved to keep this person to defend the city, his intelligence is the top five people in the entire Three Kingdoms, if he can't even keep a little Chen Liu, it is really a suspicion of vain fame.

After the two of them sat down, Zhang Chao told him all about what he had gained this time.

In fact, Guo Jia knew most of the things, and the five carts of treasure had all been transported back to the city, and he had found someone to roughly calculate that he could use the money to equip about 5,000 cavalry. Thinking that 800 cavalry have such a formation, if the strength reaches 5,000, how spectacular it will be? Guo Jia has a small expectation in his heart.

Of course, Guo Jia also agrees with what Zhang Chao said about meeting Zuo Feng and then sending half a carload of treasures.

As a wise man, you must know the truth that a husband can bend and stretch. A truly strong person must not only have a strong side, but also know how to advance and retreat, and know how to forbear. Just like the overlord Xiang Yu at the beginning, if he is willing to admit defeat, it is not that there is no chance to rise.

Guo Jia naturally agrees with Zhang Chao's willingness to spend money to buy an official position, after all, if you want to succeed, you need to have a certain status and your own power. Just like the sentence that Zhang Chao said at the beginning of the gun is the best interpretation.

"Well, once the money is in place, then start expanding the army, but it is not advisable to expand too quickly, so that it is limited to three thousand. Too many people are not conducive to hiding, and as for the rest of the money, it is of great use to me. "Zhang Chao thought of the trip to Luoyang, it was to sprinkle money.

"It's fine." Guo Jia nodded and agreed. If the three thousand cavalry can be trained to be like the previous Zhang Jiajun, then the ordinary enemy will be able to deal with it calmly.

After the two talked about Chen Liu's situation and some things that needed to be paid attention to once they went to the capital, Guo Jia left. Zhang Chao called Bai Tong and said, "Tong'er, let Lu Fei arrange it, and ask them to start infiltrating Luoyang immediately, I want to know everything there." ”

When he said these words, Zhang Chao's eyes lit up, and his face was awe-inspiring, and Bai Tong, who saw all this, was going to get drunk in his arms. She found that after the second son came back this time, the spirit of the whole person seemed to have been upgraded to a higher level, more mature, more heroic, and more manly.

After Zhao Yun followed Zhang Chao back to Chenliu, he immediately began to expand the ranks of cavalry and train sergeants as planned. Similarly, Lu Fei, the person in charge of Tianyan, also began to expand the intelligence system under the instruction of Zhang Chao, and with the support of a large amount of money, and under the constructive opinions of the second son, Shierhui, the power and eyeline of the Tianyan organization began to spread to the whole country.

As the initial offensive of the Yellow Turban Army was suppressed, it was defeated and retreated, and for a time the peace and tranquility in the vicinity of Chen Liucheng was restored, and the hero drunk was also able to sell well. Of course, there are still wars in other places, and there are still many displaced people who come to Chenliu every day, which makes Zhang Chao's army expansion plan can be carried out secretly and smoothly.

Two months later, at the end of 184, Zhang Miao returned to Chenliu.

He took with him a total of 700 sergeants, but not even a hundred came back with him. It is enough to clean up the remnants of the Yellow Turban this time, and it is not such an easy task. Fortunately, he is still in the post of Taishou, and after completing the military order of Huangfu Song, he can go back to the city to rest.

That is, on the seventh day of Zhang Miao's return to Chenliu, a letter of accusation from the imperial court also reached here, that is, Zhang Chao was asked to enter Beijing to face the saint.

For the arrival of this day, Zhang Chao can be said to have been looking forward to it for a long time. This trip to Luoyang is also completely within his plan, in addition to gaining fame, he still has two years to do.

This is a matter of the lives of the two women, Zhang Chao is going to rescue them, and at the same time, he is laying the foundation for his own great cause.

After Taishou Zhang Miao learned of the holy message, he immediately summoned his brother Zhang Chao.

"Zhiyuan, although this trip is not dangerous, but the capital is a place of right and wrong, and if you say a wrong thing, you may provoke right and wrong, so don't be careful." Zhang Miao said with concern.

"Thank you brother for reminding me, I know how to do it." Zhang Chao nodded respectfully, he was very clear about this brother's care for him. Of course, in return, he also has to repay this brother for a lifetime.

Zhang Miao, who was very satisfied with his younger brother, nodded and said, "You are still reassuring to do things." What do you think? Who do you plan to take with you to the capital this time? The defenders of the city are up to you. ”

In the past two months, with the efforts of Guo Jia and Zhang Jie, Chen Liucheng's defenders have more than doubled. Most of them are young and strong people selected from among the homeless, of course, the money to support them is naturally taken out by Zhang Chao, and it is still possible to raise more soldiers under the drunken and selling of heroes.

Therefore, Zhang Miao also has the confidence to care about the safety of this younger brother.

"Brother and rest assured, I have trained a group of family generals, and I can take them with me when the time comes. And I went to the capital this time to face the saint, and it is not easy to be too ostentatious. "Zhang Chaocai will not take away the soldiers who defend the city, these people stay to protect his brother. As I said, it is not easy for him to be too ostentatious in this trip, and now that the country is employing people, if he is accompanied by hundreds of soldiers, it will inevitably make people jealous and cause some right and wrong for no reason.
